description: Given N quantum systems prepared according to the same density operator ρ, we propose a measurement on the N-fold system which approximately yields the spectrum of ρ. The projections of the proposed observable decompose the Hilbert space according to the irreducible representations of the permutations on N points, and are labeled by Young frames, whose relative row lengths estimate the eigenvalues of ρin decreasing order. We show convergence of these estimates in the limit N\to\infty, and that the probability for errors decreases exponentially with a rate we compute explicitly.

description: A recently proposed mechanism for large-scale structure in string cosmology --based on massless axionic seeds-- is further analyzed and extended to the acoustic-peak region. Existence, structure, and normalization of the peaks turn out to depend crucially on the overall evolution of extra dimensions during the pre-big bang phase: conversely, precise cosmic microwave background anisotropy data in the acoustic-peak region will provide, within the next decade, a window on string-theory's extra dimensions before their eventual compactification.

description: This white paper, published by Springer Nature, provides a novel, quantitative and qualitative perspective on open science in Japan in 2018. It summarises the findings of a survey with more than 1,000 researchers in Japan, looking at the challenges and opportunities for data sharing in the region. The underlying dataset of the survey is available openly on Figshare: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.6328952.v1
The related Infographic on challenges and opportunities for Japanese researchers is also available on Figshare: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.6609056.v1
 The report also includes expert perspectives in the form of a summary of a roundtable discussion with key opinion leaders in the Japanese research community and representatives of major funding organisations, chaired by Springer Nature in Tokyo in 2018, and an interview with AMED, a funder of medical research in Japan, providing a more in-depth account of their innovative approach to sharing medical research data from rare diseases.
 The survey and analysis builds on a previous 2017 survey of more than 7,000 researchers worldwide, regarding data sharing at the point of submitting an article for publication (see details of 'Practical challenges for researchers in data sharing' below). This 2018 survey aims to fill a gap in the previous work where relatively few responses were received from China and Japan.
Data were collected in online surveys conducted in English and Japanese in 2018. In total, 1,393 responses were received from active researchers (academic, scientific or clinical) in Japan.

Similar research was conducted in China in 2019 and summarised in an online white paper, linked below.

Commutation relations and relativistic shifts under frame transformations are determined within a unique algebraic framework. Redshifts, i.e. shifts under transformations to uniformly accelerated frames, are evaluated and found to differ from the expressions of classical relativity.

description: Following a brief historical introduction of the notions of chaos in dynamical systems, we will present recent developments that attempt to profit from the rich structure and complexity of the chaotic dynamics. In particular, we will demonstrate the ability to control chaos in realistic complex environments. Several applications will serve to illustrate the theory and to highlight its advantages and weaknesses. The presentation will end with a survey of possible generalizations and extensions of the basic formalism as well as a discussion of applications outside the field of the physical sciences. Future research avenues in this rapidly growing field will also be addressed.

Unified Friction Formulation from Laminar to Fully Rough Turbulent Flow
Creators: name: Brkic, Dejan

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: This paper gives a new unified formula for the Newtonian fluids valid for all pipe flow regimes from laminar to the fully rough turbulent. It includes laminar, unstable sharp jump from laminar to turbulent, and all types of the turbulent regimes: smooth turbulent regime, partial non-fully developed turbulent and fully developed rough turbulent regime. The formula follows the inflectional form of curves as suggested in Nikuradse's experiment rather than monotonic shape proposed by Colebrook and White. The composition of the proposed unified formula consists of switching functions and of the interchangeable formulas for laminar, smooth turbulent and fully rough turbulent flow. The proposed switching functions provide a smooth and a computationally cheap transition among hydraulic regimes. Thus, the here presented formulation represents a coherent hydraulic model suitable for engineering use. The model is compared to existing literature models, and shows smooth and computationally cheap transitions among hydraulic regimes.

Maternal and fetal placental regions in rats regulate corticosterone production via the 11β-HSD1 enzyme

description: Corticosterone (CORT) is a steroid hormone that regulates neurodevelopment in rats, but high pregnancy CORT levels are detrimental to the fetal brain. Fetal rats primarily receive CORT produced by enzymes in the maternal and fetal regions of the placenta. For example, the 11β-HSD1 enzyme produces CORT from its inactive metabolite, 11-dehydrocorticosterone (DHC). Since little is known about the role of 11β-HSD1 in different placental regions, we measured 11β-HSD1 activity in the maternal and fetal regions of rat placenta near birth. We incubated the placenta with DHC, then measured CORT produced using mass spectrometry. The data suggest that 11β-HSD1 activity is present in both regions. Future research can explore how placental derived CORT alters fetal neurodevelopment.

Assessing friendship quality of children with ADHD : Comparison of questionnaire and observational measures
Creators: name: Lau, Ching Yan

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Patients with concurrent disorder (i.e., co-occurring mental disorder and substance use disorder) have greater severities of childhood abuse and neglect than substance use disorder patients, and often experience recurrent relapse and rehospitalization. Considering childhood abuse and neglect are associated with greater relapses during treatment for alcohol use disorder and stimulant use disorder, childhood abuse and neglect among concurrent disorder patients may importantly contribute to relapse and hinder treatment. Methods: Adult inpatients undergoing treatment for concurrent disorders (N=210) completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form. The number of relapses, positive urine drug screen and breath alcohol results, and treatment duration were extracted from patients’ medical records. Results: Greater severities of childhood physical, emotional, and sexual abuse significantly predicted a greater number of positive breath alcohol results, while controlling for treatment duration. There were no observed relationships between childhood physical or emotional neglect and indicators of relapse. Discussion: Screening for and addressing a history of childhood abuse may reduce alcohol-specific substance use and relapse among concurrent disorder inpatients. Further research is needed to understand why childhood abuse, but not neglect, contributes to negative outcomes during concurrent disorder treatment.

description: Numerical and analytic results for the exponent θdescribing the decay of the first return probability of an interface to its initial height are obtained for a large class of linear Langevin equations. The models are parametrized by the dynamic roughness exponent β, with 0 < β< 1; for β= 1/2 the time evolution is Markovian. Using simulations of solid-on-solid models, of the discretized continuum equations as well as of the associated zero-dimensional stationary Gaussian process, we address two problems: The return of an initially flat interface, and the return to an initial state with fully developed steady state roughness. The two problems are shown to be governed by different exponents. For the steady state case we point out the equivalence to fractional Brownian motion, which has a return exponent θ_S = 1 - β. The exponent θ_0 for the flat initial condition appears to be nontrivial. We prove that θ_0 \to \infty for β\to 0, θ_0 \geq θ_S for β< 1/2 and θ_0 \leq θ_S for β> 1/2, and calculate θ_{0,S} perturbatively to first order in an expansion around the Markovian case β= 1/2. Using the exact result θ_S = 1 - β, accurate upper and lower bounds on θ_0 can be derived which show, in particular, that θ_0 \geq (1 - β)^2/βfor small β.

description: The 2020 International Food Security Assessment (IFSA) published by the USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) highlights an increase in food insecurity around the world associated with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Recent updates to the IFSA report suggest the number of food-insecure people increased by 160 million in 2020, corresponding with a 21 percent increase in the share of the global population who are food insecure amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Sub-Saharan African country of Mali is one of the 76 countries included in the IFSA. Mali is home to roughly 20 million people, and about 42 percent live below the poverty line, according to the World Bank. Many households in Mali, particularly in rural areas, experience food insecurity. Indeed, before the pandemic, measured levels of food insecurity were higher in Mali’s rural areas compared with urban areas.

description: Twisted bilayer graphene with a twist angle of around 1.1° features a pair of isolated flat electronic bands and forms a strongly correlated electronic platform. Here, we use scanning tunneling microscopy to probe local properties of highly tunable twisted bilayer graphene devices and show that the flat bands strongly deform when aligned with the Fermi level. At half filling of the bands, we observe the development of gaps originating from correlated insulating states. Near charge neutrality, we find a previously unidentified correlated regime featuring a substantially enhanced flat band splitting that we describe within a microscopic model predicting a strong tendency towards nematic ordering. Our results provide insights into symmetry breaking correlation effects and highlight the importance of electronic interactions for all filling factors in twisted bilayer graphene.

Who can reach for the Michelin stars? An empirical analysis of human, organizational, and motivational recources

description: Purpose: Research on the careers of fine-dining chefs is still underrepresented in the hospitality literature. Especially, there is a research gap in quantitative empirical evidence of answering the question of human, organizational, and motivational resources needed to become a top chef. The paper provides answers to the question which factors influence whether a chef will be awarded a Michelin star or not. Design/methodology/approach: Empirical evidence is given with the help of two quantitative datasets and eleven in-depth qualitative interviews with Michelin star chefs, three sous-chefs and two ‘Plate’ awarded chefs. The first quantitative dataset encompasses the short CV of all 429 chefs in Germany who received either one, two, or three stars from the Guide Michelin between 2004 and 2019. For the second dataset we conducted a survey with all 309 German star chefs who have been awarded in 2019 and additionally non-awarded chefs. Findings: The Michelin star awards can be taken as an objective career success measurement. Our analysis shows that chefs who were employed at a hotel or have an investor and/or completed a vocational training at a restaurant with a Michelin star chef are more likely to be awarded a Michelin star. Additionally, our study supports that Michelin stars fulfill different functions. On the one hand, the award measures the objective career success of chefs. On the other hand, it serves as a selective incentive to increase extrinsic motivation. Originality: Surprising is the result that award-winning and non-awarded chefs are equally highly intrinsically motivated but differentiate in extrinsic motivation. In this case the objective career success measurement and selective incentive coincide. Practical implications: A practical advice for restaurant or hotel owner and managers is that if they want to start a top restaurant, they should hire a Sous-Chef from a 2- or 3-Michelin star restaurant. And vice versa, chefs who want to make a career in the fine dining world should apprentice to top chefs who already have star awards.

Grains of doubt: a comparison of the politically contested visual landscapes of genetically modified organisms in the United States and Europe
Creators: name: Clancy, Kelly Ann
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: The dissertation focuses on two lines of inquiry. First, why are GMOs objects of contention? Second, why, and under what conditions, is opposition to GMOs successful? To answer these questions, I examine the way in which GMOs are depicted as objects of contention on the global and local level. Part One provides a framework for the project. Chapter Two presents the constructivist approach to the study of resistance to GMOs. Discourse and images are examined from the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Spain, and the United States. Part Two examines the global level of GMOs from an ideological and regulatory perspective. Chapter Three first examines the ideological component by exploring how sound science is projected in the United States and Europe. The narrative has three parts: it advances a neoliberal narrative of the technology, arguing that non-sound science approaches are in fact attempts to politicize trade. This establishes a relationship between science, free trade, and GMOs. The second part of the narrative posits that failure to embrace GMOs will lead to a catastrophe. The third part of the narrative scapegoats the public, arguing that public ignorance will block GMOs, thereby ensuring the catastrophe. Chapter Four also focuses on the global level by examining the regulatory context in the European Union, as well as the trade conflicts between the EU and the US. Part Three turns to the domestic, or local, level, presenting five case studies. These case studies compare the political, economic, cultural, and public opinion of GMOs across countries, establishing the variance in the domestic context. Part Four looks at the images produced by the opponents of GMOs. The images are a successful refutation to the “sound science” narrative because they provide universal symbols of doubt and critique that can be redeployed within specific cultural contexts. The power of resistance is found within the logic employed by visual hegemony: the strategy of GMO resistance is to circumnavigate the logic of rationality of the proponents of GMOs and substitute the synecdotal reasoning that communicates a diffuse narrative of doubt and mistrust which critiques of the process, product, and implications.

description: In this thesis we investigate whether certain groups of features relate to the retrieval quality of Freesound. Freesound is an online collaborative audio database. People from different disci- plines share their own audio materials under the different types of Creative Commons licenses. Freesound’s similarity search functionality is one of the the features that is used by more users everyday. Freesound library is expanded everyday, as more users share their sounds, adding to the corpus of existing sounds. This expansion has brought to surface the need for a method that will be able to understand the similarity between sounds and retrieve the most relevant ones, given an example.

Here we report on realization of a quantum dot device from a single crystalline InSb nanosheet grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. The device is fabricated from the nanosheet on a Si/SiO2 substrate and the quantum dot confinement is achieved by top gate technique. Transport measurements show a series of Coulomb diamonds, demonstrating that the quantum dot is well defined and highly tunable. Tunable, gate-defined, planar InSb quantum dots offer a renewed platform for developing semiconductor-based quantum computation technology.

Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)

description: We develop a unified approach to integrating the Whitham modulation equations. Our approach is based on the formulation of the initial value problem for the zero dispersion KdV as the steepest descent for the scalar Riemann-Hilbert problem, developed by Deift, Venakides, and Zhou, 1997, and on the method of generating differentials for the KdV-Whitham hierarchy proposed by El, 1996. By assuming the hyperbolicity of the zero-dispersion limit for the KdV with general initial data, we bypass the inverse scattering transform and produce the symmetric system of algebraic equations describing motion of the modulation parameters plus the system of inequalities determining the number the oscillating phases at any fixed point on the $x, t$ - plane. The resulting system effectively solves the zero dispersion KdV with an arbitrary initial data.

description: We extend a model of four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity to include degenerate triangulations in addition to combinatorial triangulations traditionally used. Relaxing the constraint that every 4-simplex is uniquely defined by a set of five distinct vertexes, we allow triangulations containing multiply connected simplexes and distinct simplexes defined by the same set of vertexes. We demonstrate numerically that including degenerated triangulations substantially reduces the finite-size effects in the model. In particular, we provide a strong numerical evidence for an exponential bound on the entropic growth of the ensemble of degenerate triangulations, and show that a discontinuous crumpling transition is already observed on triangulations of volume N_4 ~= 4000.

description: We present a dynamical theory of a two-dimensional martensitic transition in an elastic solid, connecting a high-temperature phase which is nondegenerate and has triangular symmetry, and a low-temperature phase which is triply degenerate and has oblique symmetry. A global mode-based Galerkin method is employed to integrate the deterministic equation of motion, the latter of which is derived by the variational principle from a nonlinear, nonlocal Ginzburg-Landau theory which includes the sound-wave viscosity. Our results display (i) the phenomenon of surface nucleation, and (ii) the dynamical selection of a length scale of the resultant patterns.

description: Humanitarian organizations distribute aid to people affected by armed conflicts or natural disasters. Digitalization has the potential to increase the efficiency and fairness of aid-distribution systems, and recent work by Wang et al. has shown that these benefits are possible without creating privacy harms for aid recipients. However, their work only provides a solution for one particular aid-distribution scenario in which aid recipients receive a pre-defined set of goods. Yet, in many situations, it is desirable to enable recipients to decide which items they need at each moment to satisfy their specific needs. We formalize these needs into functional, deployment, security, and privacy requirements, and design a privacy-preserving digital wallet for aid distribution. Our smart-card-based solution enables aid recipients to spend a pre-defined budget at different vendors to obtain the items that they need. We prove our solution's security and privacy properties, and show it is practical at scale.

description: Hypercubic groups in any dimension are defined and their conjugate classifications and representation theories are derived. Double group and spinor representation are introduced. A detailed calculation is carried out on the structures of four-dimensional cubic group $O_4$ and its double group, as well as all inequivalent single-valued representations and spinor representations of $O_4$. All representations are derived adopting Clifford theory of decomposition of induced representations. Based on these results, single-valued and spinor representations of the orientation-preserved subgroup of $O_4$ are calculated.

description: We develop and test a computational framework to study heat exchange in interacting, nonequilibrium open quantum systems. Our iterative full counting statistics path integral (iFCSPI) approach extends a previously well-established influence functional path integral method, by going beyond reduced system dynamics to provide the cumulant generating function of heat exchange. The method is straightforward; we implement it for the nonequilibrium spin boson model to calculate transient and long-time observables, focusing on the steady-state heat current flowing through the system under a temperature difference. Results are compared to perturbative treatments and demonstrate good agreement in the appropriate limits. The challenge of converging nonequilibrium quantities, currents and high order cumulants, is discussed in detail. The iFCSPI, a numerically exact technique, naturally captures strong system-bath coupling and non-Markovian effects of the environment. As such, it is a promising tool for probing fundamental questions in quantum transport and quantum thermodynamics.

description: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a method for tracking blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signals as they move in different network configurations around the brain. The available network configurations are currently unknown. This oral presentation will display various analyses of fMRI signals during multiple cognitive tasks, curations of anatomical configurations that repeat over tasks, and interpretations of BOLD signal changes between task conditions. The project focuses on the discovery and study of the Auditory (AUD) network involved in linguistic processing. Through two key cognitive tasks, the Thought Generating Task and the Radio Speech Task, the activation of the novel AUD network is measured during times of auditory perception. Data from the functional brain network and its associated hemodynamic responses (HDRs) were analyzed through fMRI Constrained Principal Component Analysis (fMRI-CPCA), two-way repeated-measures ANOVA, and SPSS.

description: The KPZ formula shows that coupling central charge less than one spin models to 2D quantum gravity dresses the conformal weights to get new critical exponents, where the relation between the original and dressed weights depends only on the central charge. At the discrete level the coupling to 2D gravity is effected by putting the spin models on annealed ensembles of planar random graphs or their dual triangulations, where the connectivity fluctuates on the same time-scale as the spins. Since the sole determining factor in the dressing is the central charge, one could contemplate putting a spin model on a quenched ensemble of 2D gravity graphs with the ``wrong'' central charge. We might then expect to see the critical exponents appropriate to the central charge used in generating the graphs. In such cases the KPZ formula could be interpreted as giving a continuous line of critical exponents which depend on this central charge. We note that rational exponents other than the KPZ values can be generated using this procedure for the Ising, tricritical Ising and 3-state Potts models.

description: We present a model describing the competition between information transmission and decision making in financial markets. The solution of this simple model is recalled, and possible variations discussed. It is shown numerically that despite its simplicity, it can mimic a size effect comparable to a crash. Two extensions of this model are presented that allow to simulate the demand process. One of these extensions has a coherent stable equilibrium and is self-organized, while the other has a bistable equilibrium, with a spontaneous segregation of the population of agents. A new model is introduced to generate a transition between those two equilibriums. We show that the coherent state is dominant up to an equal mixing of the two extensions. We focuss our attention on the microscopic structure of the investment rate, which is the main parameter of the original model. A constant investment rate seems to be a very good approximation.

description: Snakes' bodies are covered in scales that make it easier to slide in some directions than in others. This frictional anisotropy allows for sliding locomotion with an undulatory gait, one of the most common for snakes. Isotropic friction is a simpler situation (that arises with snake robots for example) but is less understood. In this work we regularize a model for sliding locomotion to allow for static friction. We then propose a robust iterative numerical method to study the efficiency of a wide range of motions under isotropic Coulomb friction. We find that simple undulatory motions give little net locomotion in the isotropic regime. We compute general time-harmonic motions of three-link bodies and find three local optima for efficiency. The top two involve static friction to some extent. We then propose a class of smooth body motions that have similarities to concertina locomotion (including the involvement of static friction) and can achieve optimal efficiency for both isotropic and anisotropic friction.

description: Discretizations of the Laplacian operator on non-hypercubical lattices are discussed in a systematic approach. It is shown that order $a^2$ errors always exist for discretizations involving only nearest neighbors. Among all lattices with the same density of lattice sites, the hypercubical lattices always have errors smaller than other lattices with the same number of spacetime dimensions. On the other hand, the four dimensional checkerboard lattice (also known as the Celmaster lattice) is the only lattice which is isotropic at order $a^2$. Explicit forms of the discretized Laplacian operators on root lattices are presented, and different ways of eliminating order $a^2$ errors are discussed.

description: We report on the first experimental observation of a novel type of optical vector soliton, a {\em dipole-mode soliton}, recently predicted theoretically. We show that these vector solitons can be generated in a photorefractive medium employing two different processes: a phase imprinting, and a symmetry-breaking instability of a vortex-mode vector soliton. The experimental results display remarkable agreement with the theory, and confirm the robust nature of these radially asymmetric two-component solitary waves.

description: High-precision measurements of the pulsar dispersion measure (DM) are possible using telescopes with low-frequency wideband receivers. We present an initial study of the application of the wideband timing technique, which can simultaneously measure the pulsar times of arrival (ToAs) and DMs, for a set of five pulsars observed with the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) as part of the Indian Pulsar Timing Array (InPTA) campaign. We have used the observations with the 300-500 MHz band of the uGMRT for this purpose. We obtain high precision in DM measurements with precisions of the order 10^{-6}cm^{-3}pc. The ToAs obtained have sub-μs precision and the root-mean-square of the post-fit ToA residuals are in the sub-μs range. We find that the uncertainties in the DMs and ToAs obtained with this wideband technique, applied to low-frequency data, are consistent with the results obtained with traditional pulsar timing techniques and comparable to high-frequency results from other PTAs. This work opens up an interesting possibility of using low-frequency wideband observations for precision pulsar timing and gravitational wave detection with similar precision as high-frequency observations used conventionally.
