Crassidenticulum trilobum

description: cf. Crassidenticulum trilobum Dilcher and Wang, 2006a
Figure 4.3-4
Description. Leaf simple, five-lobed; lobe shape lanceolate; medial lobe base symmetrical while lateral lobe base strongly asymmetrical; margin of lobes toothed except on the extreme base of lamina; axes of serrations inclined to the tangent of the margin, apical angle acute; serration type convex (basal side)-convex (apical side); sinus of tooth rounded; eight to 10 teeth per cm, regularly spaced; teeth simple (all of one size); sinus between lobes rounded, bracing accomplished by primary veins (lamina structure lacking or less than 0.5 mm wide on the sinus). Petiole thin; observed petiole 5 cm long and 0.5 mm wide. Secondary venation of lamina lobes pinnate; secondary veins thin. Veins of higher order not observed.
Number of specimens examined. 1.
Specimens illustrated. UF 15706-24684 (Figure 4.3-4).
Occurrences. Hoisington III locality, Kansas.
Remarks. The single specimen examined lacks the details of higher order venation pattern. The five-lobed leaf appears to be compound, but there is lamina tissue connecting adjacent lobes (Figure 4.4). The secondary venation pattern of the lamina lobes and the tooth type on the margin are similar to those of Crassidenticulum trilobum Dilcher and Wang (2006a). It is possible that this species is a variant of C. trilobum.
This species differs from those compound leaves with several petiolulate leaflets from the mid-Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation, Utah, i.e., Morphotype CM 15 (Harris and Arens, 2016, p. 654-655, figure 7.1-4) and Europe, i.e., Debeya insignis (Hosius and von der Marck) Knobloch from southern Poland and western Ukraine (Halamski, 2013) and Austria (Herman and Kvaček, 2007a, 2007b, 2010), in that the leaf from the Hoisington III locality is simple with five lobes connected at the base with lamina tissue.

description: Success and efficiency of software and system design fundamentally relies on its models. The more they are based on formal methods the more they can be automatically transformed to execution models and finally to implementation code.
This paper presents model transformation and model integration as specific problem within bidirectional model transformation, which has shown to support  various purposes, such as analysis, optimization, and code generation.

The main purpose of model integration is to establish correspondence between various models,
especially between source and target models. From the analysis point of view, model integration supports correctness checks of syntactical dependencies between different views and models.

The overall concept is based on the algebraic approach to triple graph grammars, which are widely used for model transformation.
The main result shows the close relationship between model transformation and model integration. For each model transformation sequence there is a unique model integration sequence and vice versa. This is demonstrated by a quasi-standard example for model transformation between class models and relational data base models.

Prospects of place and portraits of progress in the early representations of the Queen Charlotte Islands, 1878-1922
Creators: name: Hamilton, Andrew Clephan Tingley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: At the end of the nineteenth and at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Queen Charlotte Islands were witness to dramatic transformations. Surveyors and scientists mapped the islands, describing the resources and conditions. Because of the favourable climate and locale, settlers and capital flowed to the Islands, changing the landscapes. And although the Islands' indigenous peoples embraced many aspects of the modernisation in the islands, they were excluded from claims to the islands. The modernization of the Queen Charlotte Islands came to a fevered climax in 1913, with the building of canneries, mines whaling stations, and logging camps, and with a flurry of land speculation. Haida frustration also increased at this time, spurned by their alienation from the land and their treatment as wards of the state. This thesis considers these transformations in the Queen Charlotte Islands by reflecting on various representations of place. Through these disparate images is the common narrative of progress through which the Islands are framed - be it through various prospects of tourism, science, capital, church or bureaucracy. What becomes apparent in all attempts to define and describe this place are the failures of vocabularies that are brought by settlers and visitors and imposed upon the Islands. Rather, the ability to know and control becomes allusive, thus openning more questions into the meaning of place.

description: Hybrid quantum systems involving solid-state spins and superconducting microwave cavities play a crucial role in quantum science and technology, but improving the spin-photon coupling at the single quantum level remains challenging in such systems. Here, we propose a simple technique to strongly couple a single solid-state spin to the microwave photons in a superconducting coplanar waveguide (CPW) cavity via a magnetic microsphere. We show that, strong coupling at the single spin level can be realized by virtual magnonic excitations of a nearby micromagnet. The spin-photon coupling strength can be enhanced up to typically four orders of magnitude larger than that without the use of the micromagnet. This work can find applications in quantum information processing with strongly coupled solid-state spin-photonic systems.

description: Recently, some efforts focus on differentiating dark energy and modified gravity with the growth function $δ(z)$. In the literature, it is useful to parameterize the growth rate $f\equiv d\lnδ/d\ln a=Ω_m^γ$ with the growth index $γ$. In this note, we consider the general DGP model with any $Ω_k$. We confront the growth index of DGP model with currently available growth rate data and find that the DGP model is still consistent with it. This implies that more and better growth rate data are required to distinguish between dark energy and modified gravity.

description: The recently discovered gravitational wave sources GW190521 and GW190814 have shown evidence of BH mergers with masses and spins that could be outside of the range expected from isolated stellar evolution. These merging objects could have undergone previous mergers. Such hierarchical mergers are predicted to be frequent in active galactic nuclei (AGN) disks, where binaries form and evolve efficiently by dynamical interactions and gaseous dissipation. Here we compare the properties of these observed events to the theoretical models of mergers in AGN disks, which are obtained by performing one-dimensional $N$-body simulations combined with semi-analytical prescriptions. The high BH masses in GW190521 are consistent with mergers of high-generation (high-g) BHs where the initial progenitor stars had high metallicity, 2g BHs if the original progenitors were metal-poor, or 1g BHs that had gained mass via super-Eddington accretion. Other measured properties related to spin parameters in GW190521 are also consistent with mergers in AGN disks. Furthermore, mergers in the lower mass gap or those with low mass ratio as found in GW190814 and GW190412 are also reproduced by mergers of 2g-1g or 1g-1g objects with significant accretion in AGN disks. Finally, due to gas accretion, the massive neutron star merger reported in GW190425 can be produced in an AGN disk.

description: In ubiquitous computing, applications are executed in powerful and mobile devices allowing users to enter and leave frequently from diverse locations. Mobility becomes the rule rather than the exception. Software should be able to change its behavior and react to changes on its environment. In this proposal paper we discuss several challenges for context-aware software development and present our proposal to achieve software adaptation based on context information. We use a model of context as a starting point for a process where components are generated, deployed, and loaded on mobile devices.

description: We present a new photometric search for high-z galaxies hosting Population III (PopIII) stars based on deep intermediate-band imaging observations obtained in the Subaru Deep Field (SDF), by using Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope. By combining our new data with the existing broad-band and narrow-band data, we searched for galaxies which emit strongly both in Ly_alpha and in HeII 1640 (``dual emitters'') that are promising candidates for PopIII-hosting galaxies, at 3.93 2 Msun/yr was found by our photometric search in 4.03 x 10^5 Mpc^3 in the SDF. This result disfavors low feedback models for PopIII star clusters, and implies an upper-limit of the PopIII SFR density of SFRD_PopIII < 5 x 10^-6 Msun/yr/Mpc^3. This new selection method to search for PopIII-hosting galaxies should be useful in future narrow-band surveys to achieve the first observational detection of PopIII-hosting galaxies at high redshifts.

GPUswap: Enabling Oversubscription of GPU Memory through Transparent Swapping

Year: 2015

description: Over the last few years, GPUs have been finding their way into cloud computing platforms, allowing users to benefit from the performance of GPUs at low cost. However, a large portion of the cloud's cost advantage traditionally stems from oversubscription: Cloud providers rent out more resources to their customers than are actually available, expecting that the customers will not actually use all of the promised resources. For GPU memory, this oversubscription is difficult due to the lack of support for demand paging in current GPUs. Therefore, recent approaches to enabling oversubscription of GPU memory resort to software scheduling of GPU kernels - which has been shown to induce significant runtime overhead in applications even if sufficient GPU memory is available - to ensure that data is present on the GPU when referenced. In this paper, we present GPUswap, a novel approach to enabling oversubscription of GPU memory that does not rely on software scheduling of GPU kernels. GPUswap uses the GPU's ability to access system RAM directly to extend the GPU's own memory. To that end, GPUswap transparently relocates data from the GPU to system RAM in response to memory pressure. GPUswap ensures that all data is permanently accessible to the GPU and thus allows applications to submit commands to the GPU directly at any time, without the need for software scheduling. Experiments with our prototype implementation show that GPU applications can still execute even with only 20 MB of GPU memory available. In addition, while software scheduling suffers from permanent overhead even with sufficient GPU memory available, our approach executes GPU applications with native performance.

description: Service robots are envisioned to be adaptive to their working environment based on situational knowledge. Recent research focused on designing visual representation of knowledge graphs for expert users. However, how to generate an understandable interface for non-expert users remains to be explored. In this paper, we use knowledge graphs (KGs) as a common ground for knowledge exchange and develop a pattern library for designing KG interfaces for non-expert users. After identifying the types of robotic situational knowledge from the literature, we present a formative study in which participants used cards to communicate the knowledge for given scenarios. We iteratively coded the results and identified patterns for representing various types of situational knowledge. To derive design recommendations for applying the patterns, we prototyped a lab service robot and conducted Wizard-of-Oz testing. The patterns and recommendations could provide useful guidance in designing knowledge-exchange interfaces for robots.

description: Self-organizing and resource-aware component deployment is an important feature of mobile pervasive systems. Distributed resources must be dynamically allocated to software components to ensure QoS demands and not distracting the user. In this paper, we propose a Reinforcement Learning technique to optimize distributed component deployment and migration. We argue that the approach meets some main requirements demanded by applications running on mobile systems. A motivating scenario is presented in which a distributed application server allows users to share content and run applications in mobile ad-hoc networks.

description: This paper presents lessons learned to date during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic from the viewpoint of Saskatchewan power system operations. A load estimation approach is developed to identify how the closures affecting businesses, schools, and other non-critical businesses due to COVID-19 changed the electricity consumption. Furthermore, the impacts of COVID-19 containment measures and re-opening phases on load uncertainty are examined. Changes in CO2 emissions resulting from an increased proportion of renewable energy generation and the change in load pattern are discussed. In addition, the influence of COVID-19 on the balancing authority's power control performance is investigated. Analyses conducted in the paper are based upon data from SaskPower corporation, which is the principal electric utility in Saskatchewan, Canada. Some recommendations for future power system operation and planning are developed.

Figure 5.1-2
Description. Leaf shape wide ovate (length/width ratio 1.2:1) to very wide ovate (L / W ratio 1:1 or less). Leaf base strongly cordate, with basal lobes overlapping or wide obtuse. Observed petiole length 28 mm long and 1.5 mm wide, containing a spherical float at a distance of ca. 10 mm from the leaf base (measured from the center of the spherical float to the leaf base). Float present on the petiole, spherical, sometimes appearing to be bilobed, or fusiform with some fine reticulate venation. Leaf margin entire, crenate, or strongly crenate. Typically, three veins entering a tooth with one medial vein perpendicular to the leaf margin and two flanking lateral veins (tertiary or quaternary) running along the margin before joining the medial vein. Primary venation is actinodromous or basal actinodromous; course of primary veins sinuous or straight; typically, one medial and four lateral primary veins (in two pairs) present in one leaf lamina. Primary veins and lateral secondary veins may fork up to three to four times, and adjacent branches join to form five ‐ to six ‐ sided elongate meshes oriented perpendicular to the leaf margin. All lateral primary veins and exmedial branches of lateral primary veins apically curved. Veins of higher order (tertiary or quaternary) orthogonally reticulate, forming quadrangular or pentagonal small meshes within those meshes formed by primary and secondary veins. Near the leaf margin, the veins dichotomize into veins of tertiary or quaternary order to form anastomosing loops from which arise one medial and two lateral veins that enter the tooth. Quinternary veins also orthogonally reticulate, forming the smallest polygonal meshes.
Number of specimens examined. 75.
Specimens illustrated. UF 15706-8263, 8263′ (Figure 5.1); 24120 (Figure 5.2).

description: A feature of certain ensembles of random matrices is that the corresponding measure is invariant under conjugation by unitary matrices. Study of such ensembles realised by matrices with Gaussian entries leads to statistical quantities related to the eigenspectrum, such as the distribution of the largest eigenvalue, which can be expressed as multidimensional integrals or equivalently as determinants. These distributions are well known to be $τ$-functions for Painlevé systems, allowing for the former to be characterised as the solution of certain nonlinear equations. We consider the random matrix ensembles for which the nonlinear equation is the $σ$ form of \PVI. Known results are reviewed, as is their implication by way of series expansions for the distributions. New results are given for the boundary conditions in the neighbourhood of the fixed singularities at $t=0,1,\infty$ of $σ$\PVI displayed by a generalisation of the generating function for the distributions. The structure of these expansions is related to Jimbo's general expansions for the $τ$-function of $σ$\PVI in the neighbourhood of its fixed singularities, and this theory is itself put in its context of the linear isomonodromy problem relating to \PVI.

In dealing the resonance problem we adopted the complex mass scheme in both tree-level and one-loop level perturbative calculations. Our numerical results show that the K-factor varies from 1.501 to 0.847 when $\sqrt{s}$ goes up from $360 GeV$ to $1.5 TeV$. We investigate the dependence of the LO and QCD NLO corrected cross sections of process \eewwbb on colliding energy $\sqrt{s}$ and Higgs-boson mass. We also present the results of the LO and QCD NLO corrected distributions of the transverse momenta of final particles, and the invariant masses of $Wb$-, $b\bar b$- and $WW$-pair.

The fractional Brownian motion and the halo mass function
Creators: name: Pan, Jun
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The fractional Brownian motion with index $α$ is introduced to construct the fractional excursion set model. A new mass function with single parameter $α$ is derived within the formalism, of which the Press-Schechter mass function (PS) is a special case when $α=1/2$. Although the new mass function is computed assuming spherical collapse, comparison with the Sheth-Tormen fitting function (ST) shows that the new mass function of $α\approx 0.435$ agrees with ST remarkably well in high mass regime, while predicts more small mass halos than the ST but less than the PS. The index $α$ is the Hurst exponent, which exact value in context of structure formation is modulated by properties of the smoothing window function and the shape of power spectrum. It is conjectured that halo merging rate and merging history in the fractional set theory might be imprinted with the interplay between halos at small scales and their large scale environment. And the mass function in high mass regime can be a good tool to detect the non-Gaussianity of the initial density fluctuation.

Type species: Locusta (Gryllacris) borneoensis Haan, 1843 = Borneogryllacris borneoensis (Haan 1843).
Diagnosis: Borneogryllacris can be recognized by the combination of the following characters: basal areas of forewing with a large, black and yellow spot (Fig. 6F); posterior margin of male ninth abdominal tergite with slender spines extending inwards from the middle of each lobe at base, length of spines equal to or longer than half the width of ninth abdominal tergite (Fig. 7E). Borneogryllacris is similar to Capnogryllacris, Marthogryllacris, Dracogryllacris, and Ultragryllacris, but can be distinguished by the large, black and yellow spot on basal areas of forewings. Capnogryllacris also differs from Borneogryllacris by the black overall fuscous hindwings.

description: Feature interaction describes a situation where the combination of two or more services that individually perform correctly results in unexpected and possibly adverse behaviour. Such feature interaction issues have first been identified in telecommunication systems and are now beginning to be considered in other distributed software systems. We expect significant feature interaction research in pervasive computing where very many applications collaborate and adapt to changes to their environment or to user needs in order to provide tailored services to users. This paper presents a classification of feature interaction issues in pervasive computing systems. The classification captures, with a focus on automotive systems and systems for smart homes, feature interaction issues related to types of interaction, channels of interaction, and user needs. The classification aims to aid the understanding of feature interaction in pervasive computing systems, and to serve as a guideline for designers of pervasive applications.

The effects of land use, transportation infrastructure and housing affordability on growth management in the GVRD: a study of household travel behaviour and location decisions
Creators: name: Allison, Mark B.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A great deal of planning literature in the last decade has been devoted to growth management and the concept of land use and transportation interactions. "New" approaches to planning, such as Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and Neo-Traditional Neighbourhood Design, are products of this evaluation of current development practices. The influence of housing affordability and accessibility, although intuitively related to the growth management problems of urban sprawl and automobile dependence, has often been overlooked. The purpose of this research is to bridge important gaps in our understanding of how residential land use and transportation infrastructure investments are shaping unsustainable growth and travel patterns in the GVRD, which is the main problem being addressed. The research objectives related to this problem are the correlation of observed trends in growth, housing and travel indicators, the determination of the importance of price and accessibility factors in household location decisions, and the analysis of the role that land use and transportation decisions have played in influencing housing costs and accessibility. To provide a context for understanding the scope of the problem and the relationships between the research results and proposed recommendations, the applicable literature, theory, and policies in the areas of growth management, land use, transportation and housing are given. Supporting research results include: a survey of senior stakeholders in the region on land use, transportation and housing issues; a synthesis of significant socioeconomic, growth, transportation and housing data; a summary of surveys outlining preferences for residential location and housing type; and an analysis of Place of Work data crosstabulated against Place of Residence and socioeconomic variables. The results show a strong dependency between location decisions and the cost and accessibility of housing, particularly for the critical group of younger households with children. Policy recommendations, based on the research and covering land use, transportation, housing, governance and education, are proposed to address the main sustainability problems studied. The recommendations focus on promoting affordable, higher density communities, with a choice of transportation modes, as an attractive alternative to lower density, automobile-dependent suburbs.
Refined Telluric Absorption Correction for Low-Resolution Ground-Based Spectroscopy: Resolution and Radial Velocity Effects in the O2 A-Band for Exoplanets and K I Emission Lines

description: Telluric correction of spectroscopic observations is either performed via standard stars that are observed close in time and airmass along with the science target, or recently growing in importance, by theoretical telluric absorption modeling. Both approaches work fine when the telluric lines are resolved, i.e. at spectral resolving power larger than about 10000, and it is sufficient to facilitate the detection of spectral features at lower resolution. However, a meaningful quantitative analysis requires also a reliable recovery of line strengths. Here, we show for the Fraunhofer A-band of molecular O2 that the standard telluric correction approach fails in this at lower spectral resolutions, as an example for the general problem. Doppler-shift dependent errors of the restored flux may arise, which can amount to more than 50% in extreme cases, depending on the line shapes of the target spectral features. Two applications are discussed: the recovery of the O2-band in the reflected light of an Earth analog atmosphere, as facilitated potentially in the future using an orbiting starshade and a ground-based extremely large telescope; and the recovery of the intrinsic ratio of the K I lines in the post-nova V4332 Sgr tracing the optical depth of the emitting region, to exemplify the relevance using present-day instrumentation. We show how one should derive correction functions for the compensation of the error in dependence of radial velocity shift, spectral resolution and target line-profile function by use of high resolution atmospheric transmission modeling, which has to be solved for the individual case.

Elastic heterogeneity of soft random solids

description: Spatial heterogeneity in the elastic properties of soft random solids is investigated via a two-pronged approach. First, a nonlocal phenomenological model for the elastic free energy is examined. This features a quenched random kernel, which induces randomness in the residual stress and Lame coefficients. Second, a semi-microscopic model network is explored using replica statistical mechanics. The Goldstone fluctuations of the semi-microscopic model are shown to reproduce the phenomenological model, and via this correspondence the statistical properties of the residual stress and Lame coefficients are inferred. Correlations involving the residual stress are found to be long-ranged and governed by a universal parameter that also gives the mean shear modulus.

description: We present N-body models to complement deep imaging of the metal-poor core-collapsed cluster NGC6397 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. All simulations include stellar and binary evolution in-step with the stellar dynamics and account for the tidal field of the Galaxy. We focus on the results of a simulation that began with 100000 objects (stars and binaries), 5% primordial binaries and Population II metallicity. After 16 Gyr of evolution the model cluster has about 20% of the stars remaining and has reached core-collapse. We compare the color-magnitude diagrams of the model at this age for the central region and an outer region corresponding to the observed field of NGC6397 (about 2-3 half-light radii from the cluster centre). This demonstrates that the white dwarf population in the outer region has suffered little modification from dynamical processes - contamination of the luminosity function by binaries and white dwarfs with non-standard evolution histories is minimal and should not significantly affect measurement of the cluster age. We also show that the binary fraction of main-sequence stars observed in the NGC6397 field can be taken as representative of the primordial binary fraction of the cluster. For the mass function of the main-sequence stars we find that although this has been altered significantly by dynamics over the cluster lifetime, especially in the central and outer regions, that the position of the observed field is close to optimal for recovering the initial mass function of the cluster stars (below the current turn-off mass). More generally we look at how the mass function changes with radius in a dynamically evolved stellar cluster and suggest where the best radial position to observe the initial mass function is for clusters of any age.

Reactive Context-Aware Programming

description: Using state of the art tools, context-aware applications are notified of relevant changes in their environment through event handlers which are triggered by dedicated middleware. The events signalled by the middleware should percolate through the entire application, requiring a carefully crafted network of observers combined with complex synchronization code to address the inherent concurrency issues. This paper proposes the adoption of reactive programming techniques to bridge the gap between the event-driven middleware and the application.

Enhancing Planning-Based Adaptation Middleware with Support for Dependability: a Case Study

description: Recent evolutions of mobile devices have opened up for new opportunities for building advanced mobile applications. In particular, these applications are capable of discovering and exploiting software and hardware resources that are made available in their environment. A possible approach for supporting these ubiquitous interactions consists in adapting the mobile application to reflect the functionalities that are provided by the environment. However, these approaches often fail in offering a sufficient degree of resilience to potential device, network, and software failures, which are particularly frequent in ubiquitous environments. Therefore, the contribution of this paper is to integrate the dependability concern in the process of mobile applications adaptation. In particular, we propose to reflect dependability mechanisms as alternative configurations for a given application. This reflection allows the planning-based adaptation middleware to automatically decide, based on contextual information, to enable the support for dependability or not.

Free Abelian 2-Form Gauge Theory: BRST Approach

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We discuss various symmetry properties of the Lagrangian density of a four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form gauge theory within the framework of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism. The present free Abelian gauge theory is endowed with a Curci-Ferrari type condition which happens to be a key signature of the 4D non-Abelian 1-form gauge theory. In fact, it is due to the above condition that the nilpotent BRST and anti-BRST symmetries of the theory are found to be absolutely anticommuting in nature. For our present 2-form gauge theory, we discuss the BRST, anti-BRST, ghost and discrete symmetry properties of the Lagrangian densities and derive the corresponding conserved charges. The algebraic structure, obeyed by the above conserved charges, is deduced and the constraint analysis is performed with the help of the physicality criteria where the conserved and nilpotent (anti-)BRST charges play completely independent roles. These physicality conditions lead to the derivation of the above Curci-Ferrari type restriction, within the framework of BRST formalism, from the constraint analysis.

description: We consider a degenerate parametric oscillator whose cavity contains a two-level atom. Applying the Heisenberg and quantum Langevin equations, we calculate in the bad-cavity limit the mean photon number, the quadrature variance, and the power spectrum for the cavity mode in general and for the signal light and fluorescent light in particular. We also obtain the normalized second-order correlation function for the fluorescent light. We find that the presence of the two-level atom leads to a decrease in the degree of squeezing of the signal light. It so turns out that the fluorescent light is in a squeezed state and the power spectrum consists of a single peak only.
