description: Natural disasters not only threaten the safety of individuals and communities but also disrupt the everyday life of people and their means of communication. People are highly alarmed in such situations. They do not know what to do or whom to contact, and wonder if their loved ones are safe; this causes people to depend on real-time information and assistance from each other rather than solely depending on government authorities during a disaster. Communication plays a crucial part in people’s survival in such circumstances. Currently, one-way mass notification systems mostly take place in the form of general alerts or warnings. However, people are looking for two-way communication during disasters; they want to be a part of the conversation and the solution. Everyday communication systems like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are perfect examples where communities provide information and assist each other and authorities during disasters. However, these do not involve the authorities in the two-way communication problem; multi-level gaps in the current emergency communication system remain. Aim To identify opportunities in the mass emergency communication system to help increase the chances of people’s safety during natural disasters like fire, flood and landslide in British Columbia. Research Questions • How might we design a two-way communication system for communities in disaster zones of British Columbia during mass emergencies like fire, flood, and landslides? • How might we leverage everyday communication systems that support communities during mass emergencies? • How might we include communication strategies specific to building Community resilience? The design solution is based on human-centered design (What Is Human-Centered Design?, n.d.) and system design (Meadows, 2009) methodologies. It aims to understand community needs and communication patterns, build a holistic knowledge of different stakeholder integrated systems, and evaluate the accessibility of the existing communication preparedness plans to design a solution. The project began by collecting and analyzing data from literature reviews, interviews, surveys, exploratory designs, and workshops to create a list of design principles. It then utilized these principles to develop a government-based universal information-sharing and community collaboration platform that integrates with Canada’s AlertReady system (Government of Canada, 2015).

description: Between entering grad school in a new country and starting a new job, I found it difficult to continue the low-impact lifestyle I had been used to back home. Amplified pressure to use my time economically made it more challenging to practice held values and beliefs to minimize waste, seek out ethical products, and learn ways to live locally within seasonal rhythms. In the seemingly unstoppable stream of globalisation, industrialisation, modernisation, and urbanisation, it feels inconceivable to imagine how to live slowly with less; less artifacts, less conveniently, less productively, and less efficiently, in the pursuit of care and empathy with other-than-humans and our shared habitat. Quantified and synced by atomic clocks, phone screens, scheduling calendars, and unified time zones around the prime meridian, immerse us in a quantified, universalized, global, linear, progressive flow of time, whose pervasiveness can blind us to the ways our lives are structured around it, the values it is built upon, and the priorities it sets for economies, governments, societies, and individuals alike. Acknowledging time as a given frame of the world, this thesis seeks to explore the complex ways time shapes everyday living conditions in the hopes that other conceptions and awareness of time might open us up to other possibilities for more ecological ways of relating to and living in our world. Through exploring, tracing, and defamiliarizing time, this research attempts to better understand the simplified, automatic, and economically measured interactions with time that might be keeping us from living more ecologically value-driven and relational interpretations of time. Exploring a mix of immersion in different practices, making to reflect, visualizing to communicate, questioning, and navigating the gaps of understanding, this project of time seeks to reveal and defamiliarize our taken-for-granted notions of time.

description: Overactivation of the RAAS is known to contribute to pathogenesis of hypertension and kidney disease, particularly ischemia-induced ischemic nephropathy and renovascular hypertension. However, the potential role of the intrarenal RAAS versus the systemic RAAS is not well defined. Clinically, non-specifically targeting the RAAS in this disease is only partially effective and also limited by class toxicities of hyperkalemia and acute decline of renal function. Therefore, there is unmet need in understanding the molecular mechanism and developing more effective and safer therapies for this disease. The present study for the first time applied the 2K1C model to mice with collecting duct-specific deletion of (pro)renin receptor or renin to demonstrate an important role of CD PRR/renin in regulation of the intrarenal RAAS and thus pathogenesis of hypertension and ischemic kidney injury. Importantly, since the restricted deletion of PRR/renin in the CD, 2K1C-induced systemic RAAS was unaffected. Our results help understand CD PRR/renin-mediated local mechanism in pathogenesis of ischemic nephropathy and renovascular hypertension and also support CD PRR/renin as a potential therapeutic target for selective inhibition of the intrarenal RAAS to treat these devastating diseases.

description: We investigate the superfluid properties of two-dimensional driven Bose liquids, such as polariton condensates, using their long-wavelength description in terms of a compact Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation for the phase dynamics. We account for topological defects (vortices) in the phase field through a duality mapping between the compact KPZ equation and a theory of non-linear electrodynamics coupled to charges. Using the dual theory we derive renormalization group equations that describe vortex unbinding in these media. When the non-equilibirum drive is turned off, the KPZ non-linearity λ vanishes and the RG flow gives the usual Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition. On the other hand, with non-linearity λ > 0 vortices always unbind, even if the same system with λ = 0 is superfluid. We predict the finite size scaling behavior of the superfluid stiffness in the crossover governed by vortex unbinding showing its clear distinction from the scaling associated with the KT transition.

description: Let $f : \{0,1\}^n \times \{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ be a 2-party function. For every product distribution $μ$ on $\{0,1\}^n \times \{0,1\}^n$, we show that $$\mathsf{CC}^μ_{0.49}(f) = O\left(\left(\log \mathsf{prt}_{1/8}(f) \cdot \log \log \mathsf{prt}_{1/8}(f)\right)^2\right),$$ where $\mathsf{CC}^μ_\varepsilon(f)$ is the distributional communication complexity of $f$ with error at most $\varepsilon$ under the distribution $μ$ and $\mathsf{prt}_{1/8}(f)$ is the {\em partition bound} of $f$, as defined by Jain and Klauck [{\em Proc. 25th CCC}, 2010]. We also prove a similar bound in terms of $\mathsf{IC}_{1/8}(f)$, the {\em information complexity} of $f$, namely, $$\mathsf{CC}^μ_{0.49}(f) = O\left(\left(\mathsf{IC}_{1/8}(f) \cdot \log \mathsf{IC}_{1/8}(f)\right)^2\right).$$ The latter bound was recently and independently established by Kol [{\em Proc. 48th STOC}, 2016] using a different technique. We show a similar result for query complexity under product distributions. Let $g : \{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ be a function. For every bit-wise product distribution $μ$ on $\{0,1\}^n$, we show that $$\mathsf{QC}^μ_{0.49}(g) = O\left(\left( \log \mathsf{qprt}_{1/8}(g) \cdot \log \log\mathsf{qprt}_{1/8}(g) \right)^2 \right),$$ where $\mathsf{QC}^μ_{\varepsilon}(g)$ is the distributional query complexity of $f$ with error at most $\varepsilon$ under the distribution $μ$ and $\mathsf{qprt}_{1/8}(g))$ is the {\em query partition bound} of the function $g$. Partition bounds were introduced (in both communication complexity and query complexity models) to provide LP-based lower bounds for randomized communication complexity and randomized query complexity. Our results demonstrate that these lower bounds are polynomially tight for {\em product} distributions.

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: Forecasts in cosmology, both with Monte-Carlo Markov-chain methods and with the Fisher matrix formalism, depend on the choice of the fiducial model because both the signal strength of any observable as well as the model nonlinearities linking observables to cosmological parameters vary in the general case. In this paper we propose a method for extrapolating Fisher-forecasts across the space of cosmological parameters by constructing a suitable ba- sis. We demonstrate the validity of our method with constraints on a standard dark energy model extrapolated from a ΛCDM-model, as can be expected from 2-bin weak lensing to- mography with a Euclid-like survey, in the parameter pairs $(Ω_\text{m},σ_8)$, $(Ω_\text{m}, w_0)$ and $(w_0, w_\text{a})$. Our numerical results include very accurate extrapolations across a wide range of cosmo- logical parameters in terms of shape, size and orientation of the parameter likelihood, and a decomposition of the change of the likelihood contours into modes, which are straightforward to interpret in a geometrical way. We find that in particular the variation of the dark energy figure of merit is well captured by our formalism.

description: We show that inflation can naturally occur at a finite temperature T>H that is sustained by dissipative effects, when the inflaton field corresponds to a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson of a broken gauge symmetry. Similarly to "Little Higgs" scenarios for electroweak symmetry breaking, the flatness of the inflaton potential is protected against both quadratic divergences and the leading thermal corrections. We show that, nevertheless, nonlocal dissipative effects are naturally present and are able to sustain a nearly thermal bath of light particles despite the accelerated expansion of the Universe. As an example, we discuss the dynamics of chaotic warm inflation with a quartic potential and show that the associated observational predictions are in very good agreement with the latest Planck results. This model constitutes the first realization of warm inflation requiring only a small number of fields; in particular, the inflaton is directly coupled to just two light fields.

description: The sub-population of quasars reddened by intrinsic or intervening clouds of dust are known to be underrepresented in optical quasar surveys. By defining a complete parent sample of the brightest and spatially unresolved quasars in the COSMOS field, we quantify to which extent this sub-population is fundamental to our understanding of the true population of quasars. By using the available multiwavelength data of various surveys in the COSMOS field, we built a parent sample of 33 quasars brighter than $J=20$ mag, identified by reliable X-ray to radio wavelength selection techniques. Spectroscopic follow-up with the NOT/ALFOSC was carried out for four candidate quasars that had not been targeted previously to obtain a 100\% redshift completeness of the sample. The population of high $A_V$ quasars (HAQs), a specific sub-population of quasars selected from optical/near-infrared photometry, is found to contribute $21\%^{+9}_{-5}$ of the parent sample. The full population of bright spatially unresolved quasars represented by our parent sample consists of $39\%^{+9}_{-8}$ reddened quasars defined by having $A_V>0.1$, and $21\%^{+9}_{-5}$ of the sample having $E(B-V)>0.1$ assuming the extinction curve of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We show that the HAQ selection works well for selecting reddened quasars, but some are missed because their optical spectra are too blue to pass the $g-r$ color cut in the HAQ selection. This is either due to a low degree of dust reddening or anomalous spectra. We find that the fraction of quasars with contributing light from the host galaxy is most dominant at $z \lesssim 1$. At higher redshifts the population of spatially unresolved quasars selected by our parent sample is found to be representative of the full population at $J<20$ mag. This work quantifies the bias against reddened quasars in studies that are based solely on optical surveys.

Popescu-Rohrlich correlations imply efficient instantaneous nonlocal quantum computation
Creators: name: Broadbent, Anne
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In instantaneous nonlocal quantum computation, two parties cooperate in order to perform a quantum computation on their joint inputs, while being restricted to a single round of simultaneous communication. Previous results showed that instantaneous nonlocal quantum computation is possible, at the cost of an exponential amount of prior shared entanglement (in the size of the input). Here, we show that a linear amount of entanglement suffices, (in the size of the computation), as long as the parties share nonlocal correlations as given by the Popescu-Rohlich box. This means that communication is not required for efficient instantaneous nonlocal quantum computation. Exploiting the well-known relation to position-based cryptography, our result also implies the impossibility of secure position-based cryptography against adversaries with non-signalling correlations. Furthermore, our construction establishes a quantum analogue of the classical communication complexity collapse under non-signalling correlations.

description: We designed a high-resolution compact spectrometer based on an evanescently-coupled multimode spiral waveguide. Interference between the modes in the waveguide forms a wavelength-dependent speckle pattern which is used as a fingerprint to identify the input wavelength after calibration. Evanescent coupling between neighboring arms of the spiral results in a non-resonant broad-band enhancement of the spectral resolution. Experimentally, we demonstrated a resolution of 0.01 nm at a wavelength of 1520 nm using a 250 μm radius spiral structure. Spectra containing 40 independent spectral channels are recovered simultaneously and the operation bandwidth is significantly increased by applying compressive sensing to sparse spectra reconstruction.

description: We present the foundation for a holographic dictionary with depth perception. The dictionary consists of natural CFT operators whose duals are simple, diffeomorphism-invariant bulk operators. The CFT operators of interest are the "OPE blocks," contributions to the OPE from a single conformal family. In holographic theories, we show that the OPE blocks are dual at leading order in 1/N to integrals of effective bulk fields along geodesics or homogeneous minimal surfaces in anti-de Sitter space. One widely studied example of an OPE block is the modular Hamiltonian, which is dual to the fluctuation in the area of a minimal surface. Thus, our operators pave the way for generalizing the Ryu-Takayanagi relation to other bulk fields. Although the OPE blocks are non-local operators in the CFT, they admit a simple geometric description as fields in kinematic space--the space of pairs of CFT points. We develop the tools for constructing local bulk operators in terms of these non-local objects. The OPE blocks also allow for conceptually clean and technically simple derivations of many results known in the literature, including linearized Einstein's equations and the relation between conformal blocks and geodesic Witten diagrams.

description: We consider the production of a heavy neutrino and its possible signals at the Large Hadron-electron Collider (LHeC) in the context of an inverse-seesaw model for neutrino mass generation. The inverse seesaw model extends the Standard Model (SM) particle content by adding two neutral singlet fermions for each lepton generation. It is a well motivated model in the context of generating non-zero neutrino masses and mixings. The proposed future LHeC machine presents us with a particularly interesting possibility to probe such extensions of the SM with new leptons due to the presence of an electron beam in the initial state. We show that the LHeC will be able to probe an inverse scenario with much better efficacy compared to the LHC with very nominal integrated luminosities as well as exploit the advantage of having the electron beam polarized to enhance the heavy neutrino production rates.

description: We constrain deviations of the form $T\propto (1+z)^{1+ε}$ from the standard redshift-temperature relation, corresponding to modifying distance duality as $D_L=(1+z)^{2(1+ε)} D_A$. We consider a consistent model, in which both the background and perturbation equations are changed. For this purpose, we introduce a species of dark radiation particles to which photon energy density is transferred, and assume $ε\ge0$. The Planck 2015 release high multipole temperature plus low multipole data give the limit $ε<4.5\times 10^{-3}$ at 95% C.L. The main obstacle to improving this CMB-only result is strong degeneracy between $ε$ and the physical matter densities $ω_{\rm b}$ and $ω_{\rm c}$. A constraint on deuterium abundance improves the limit to $ε<1.8\times 10^{-3}$. Adding the Planck high-multipole CMB polarisation and BAO data leads to a small improvement; with this maximal dataset we obtain $ε<1.3\times 10^{-3}$. This dataset constrains the present dark radiation energy density to at most 12% of the total photon plus dark radiation density. Finally, we discuss the degeneracy between dark radiation and the effective number of relativistic species $N_{\rm eff}$, and consider the impact of dark radiation perturbations and allowing $ε<0$ on the results.

description: Consideration of resources such as fuel, battery charge, and storage space, is a crucial requirement for the successful persistent operation of autonomous systems. The Stochastic Collection and Replenishment (SCAR) scenario is motivated by mining and agricultural scenarios where a dedicated replenishment agent transports a resource between a centralised replenishment point to agents using the resource in the field. The agents in the field typically operate within fixed areas (for example, benches in mining applications, and fields or orchards in agricultural scenarios), and the motion of the replenishment agent may be restricted by a road network. Existing research has typically approached the problem of scheduling the actions of the dedicated replenishment agent from a short-term and deterministic angle. This paper introduces a method of incorporating uncertainty in the schedule optimisation through a novel prediction framework, and a branch and bound optimisation method which uses the prediction framework to minimise the downtime of the agents. The prediction framework makes use of several Gaussian approximations to quickly calculate the risk-weighted cost of a schedule. The anytime nature of the branch and bound method is exploited within an MPC-like framework to outperform existing optimisation methods while providing reasonable calculation times in large scenarios.

description: In this paper we consider the modelling and simulation of open quantum systems from a device engineering perspective. We derive master equations at different levels of approximation for a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) ring coupled to an ohmic bath. We demonstrate that the master equations we consider produce decoherences that are qualitatively and quantitativly dependent on both the level of approximation and the ring's external flux bias. We discuss the issues raised when seeking to obtain Lindbladian dissipation and show, in this case, that the external flux (which may be considered to be a control variable in some applications) is not confined to the Hamiltonian, as often assumed in quantum control, but also appears in the Lindblad terms.

description: In this paper we investigate the nonlocal correlation (beyond entanglement) captured by measurement induced nonlocality and geometric quantum discord for a pair of interacting spin-1/2 particles at thermal equilibrium. It is shown that both the measures are identical in measuring the correlation. We show the possibility of nonlocal correlation between the spins without entanglement, which ceases to exist only for the maximal mixture of product bases. We also observe that while interaction between the spins is responsible for the enhancement of correlation, this non-classicality decreases with the intervention of external magnetic field.

description: We report on image processing techniques and experimental procedures to determine the lattice-site positions of single atoms in an optical lattice with high reliability, even for limited acquisition time or optical resolution. Determining the positions of atoms beyond the diffraction limit relies on parametric deconvolution in close analogy to methods employed in super-resolution microscopy. We develop a deconvolution method that makes effective use of the prior knowledge of the optical transfer function, noise properties, and discreteness of the optical lattice. We show that accurate knowledge of the image formation process enables a dramatic improvement on the localization reliability. This allows us to demonstrate super-resolution of the atoms' position in closely packed ensembles where the separation between particles cannot be directly optically resolved. Furthermore, we demonstrate experimental methods to precisely reconstruct the point spread function with sub-pixel resolution from fluorescence images of single atoms, and we give a mathematical foundation thereof. We also discuss discretized image sampling in pixel detectors and provide a quantitative model of noise sources in electron multiplying CCD cameras. The techniques developed here are not only beneficial to neutral atom experiments, but could also be employed to improve the localization precision of trapped ions for ultra precise force sensing.

WHAT HAPPENED TO CASUAL ACADEMIC STAFF IN AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN 2020?

description: With the widespread onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Australian universities anticipated a significant loss of students and revenue and hence forecast the need for significant job reductions. Using Higher Education Statistics (HES) data on student numbers and full-time equivalent (FTE) staff by field of study, we explored changes which occurred between 2019 and 2020, this data only becoming publicly available in 2022. Against expectations, and with the exception of the field of study of Management and Commerce, nationally student numbers did not decline, but increased marginally. Our interest lay in the impact of this on casual academic staff employment in Australia’s public universities, noting institutional strategies of having a flexible pool of casual staff to manage fluctuations in student demand. While the HES data does not allow firm conclusions, trends may become clearer with the release of the 2021 data. Nonetheless, it appears that many universities reduced casual academic staff numbers and marginally increased full and part time appointments. Overall, there were fewer academic staff to teach a static or increased number of students. What this exercise suggests is that irrespective of student enrolments, some universities may have used the pandemic as an opportunity for restructures and academic renewal. It also highlights the difficulties that universities may experience in managing their academic workforce.

description: We show that properly engineered amorphous Fe-Gd alloy thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy exhibit room-temperature skyrmion molecules, or a pair of like-polarity, opposite-helicity skyrmions. Magnetic mirror symmetry planes present in the stripe phase, instead of chiral exchange, determine the internal skyrmion structure and the net achirality of the skyrmion phase. Our study shows that stripe domain engineering in amorphous alloy thin films may enable the creation of skyrmion phases with technologically desirable properties.

Inverse Funnel Effect of Excitons in Strained Black Phosphorus

description: We study the effects of strain on the properties and dynamics of Wannier excitons in monolayer (phosphorene) and few-layer black phosphorus (BP), a promising two-dimensional material for optoelectronic applications due to its high mobility, mechanical strength and strain-tuneable direct band gap. We compare the results to the case of molybdenum disulphide (MoS$_2$) monolayers. We find that the so-called funnel effect, i.e. the possibility of controlling exciton motion by means of inhomogeneous strains, is much stronger in few-layer BP than in MoS$_2$ monolayers and, crucially, is of opposite sign. Instead of excitons accumulating isotropically around regions of high tensile strain like in MoS$_2$, excitons in BP are pushed away from said regions. This \emph{inverse} funnel effect is moreover highly anisotropic, with much larger funnel distances along the armchair crystallographic direction, leading to a directional focusing of exciton flow. A strong inverse funnel effect could enable simpler designs of funnel solar cells, and offer new possibilities for the manipulation and harvesting of light.

subject: Expansion of social space
subject: Relative deprivation

description: This paper explores the following chain of conjectures: rising use of the internet, the widespread access to global information, and intensified communication between regions and countries brought about, for example, by intensified trade links bring about expansion of people’s social space and their set of comparators; this expansion increases people’s stress and strengthens their inclination to resort to migration as a means of reducing this heightened stress. Other things held constant, the expansion of people’s social space intensifies their inclination to move across geographical space.
A primer on quantum fluids
Creators: name: Barenghi, Carlo F.
name: Parker, Nick G.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)
subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)
subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This book introduces the theoretical description and properties of quantum fluids. The focus is on gaseous atomic Bose-Einstein condensates and, to a minor extent, superfluid helium, but the underlying concepts are relevant to other forms of quantum fluids such as polariton and photonic condensates. The book is pitched at the level of advanced undergraduates and early postgraduate students, aiming to provide the reader with the knowledge and skills to develop their own research project on quantum fluids. Indeed, the content for this book grew from introductory notes provided to our own research students. It is assumed that the reader has prior knowledge of undergraduate mathematics and/or physics; otherwise, the concepts are introduced from scratch, often with references for directed further reading.
