description: In manufacturing and service systems, the negative effects of variability propagation are usually addressed through approximation models and other tools, such as simulation and optimization algorithms. This paper investigates the conditions in which these approaches are ineffective, and considering only the mean and variance of the processing time distribution is misleading. A scenario analysis deepens the impacts of considering the entire processing time distribution (beyond its mean and variance) on the inter-departure times in balanced and unpaced lines modeled through Discrete Event Simulation. The results correlate the impacts on variability propagation of approximating the processing time distribution with system characteristics such as utilization levels, line sizes, and inter-arrival and processing time variability. Production planning approaches can benefit from these results to reduce variability propagation, particularly in flexible and reconfigurable manufacturing systems, largely adopted in Industry 4.0, that can highly influence processing time distributions by varying product mix and line configuration. A balanced and unpaced line, with a single inter-arrival time distribution, and two processing time distributions, alpha and beta, rispectively, which have the same Squared Coefficient of Variation and different shape that lead to different variability propagation in the inter-departure time distribution at the end of the line.

description: The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR was a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0νββ$) in the $^{76}$Ge isotope. It was staged at the 4850-foot level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD. The experiment consisted of 58 germanium detectors housed in a low background shield and was calibrated once per week by deploying a $^{228}$Th line source for 1 to 2 hours. The energy scale calibration determination for the detector array was automated using custom analysis tools. We describe the offline procedure for calibration of the Demonstrator germanium detectors, including the simultaneous fitting of multiple spectral peaks, estimation of energy scale uncertainties, and the automation of the calibration procedure.

Optimizing Initial State of Detector Sensors in Quantum Sensor Networks

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we consider a network of quantum sensors, where each sensor is a qubit detector that "fires," i.e., its state changes when an event occurs close by. The change in state due to the firing of a detector is given by a unitary operator which is the same for all sensors in the network. Such a network of detectors can be used to localize an event, using a protocol to determine the firing sensor which is presumably the one closest to the event. The determination of the firing sensor can be posed as a Quantum State Discrimination problem which incurs a probability of error depending on the initial state and the measurement operator used.
 In this paper, we address the problem of determining the optimal initial global state of a network of detectors that incur a minimum probability of error in determining the firing sensor. For this problem, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an initial state that allows for perfect discrimination, i.e., zero probability of error. Using insights from this result, we derive a conjectured optimal solution for the initial state, provide a pathway to prove the conjecture, and validate the conjecture empirically using multiple search heuristics that seem to perform near-optimally.

description: The nuclear reaction network within the interior of the Sun is an efficient MeV physics factory, and can produce long-lived particles generic to dark sector models. In this work we consider the sensitivity of satellite instruments, primarily the RHESSI Spectrometer, that observe the Quiet Sun in the MeV regime where backgrounds are low. We find that Quiet Sun observations offer a powerful and complementary probe in regions of parameter space where the long-lived particle decay length is longer than the radius of the Sun, and shorter than the distance between the Sun and Earth. We comment on connections to recent model-building work on heavy neutral leptons coupled to neutrinos and high-quality axions from mirror symmetries.

description: We analyse the role of the bang-bang property in affine optimal control problems. We show that many essential stability properties of affine problems are only satisfied when minimizers are bang-bang. Moreover, we prove that almost any perturbation in an affine optimal control problem leads to a bang-bang strict global minimizer. We work in an abstract framework that allows to cover many problems in the literature of optimal control, this includes problems constrained by partial and ordinary differential equations. We give examples that show the applicability of our results to specific optimal control problems.

description: Social isolation is caused by the impoverishment of community (atomism) and fragmentation is caused by the enlargement of in-group (mobism), both of which can be viewed as social problems related to communication. To solve these problems, the philosophical world has proposed the concept of "mixbiotic society," in which individuals with freedom and diverse values mix and mingle to recognize their respective "fundamental incapability" each other and sublimate into solidarity. Based on this concept, this study proposes new mixbiotic society measures to evaluate dynamic communication patterns with reference to classification in cellular automata and particle reaction diffusion that simulate living phenomena. Specifically, the hypothesis of measures corresponding to the four classes was formulated, and the hypothesis was validated by simulating the generation and disappearance of communication. As a result, considering communication patterns as multidimensional vectors, it found that the mean of Euclidean distance for "mobism," the variance of the relative change in distance for "atomism," the composite measure that multiplies the mean and variance of cosine similarity for "mixism," which corresponds to the well-going of mixbiotic society, and the almost zero measures for "nihilism," are suitable. Then, evaluating seven real-society datasets using these measures, we showed that the mixism measure is useful for assessing the livingness of communication, and that it is possible to typify communities based on plural measures. The measures established in this study are superior to conventional analysis in that they can evaluate dynamic patterns, they are simple to calculate, and their meanings are easy to interpret. As a future development, the mixbiotic society measures will be used in the fields of digital democracy and platform cooperativism toward a desirable society.

This resolves the matter of surjectivity of the map from Lagrangian fillings to cluster seeds. The main new technique to produce these Lagrangian fillings is the construction and study of a quiver with potential associated to curve configurations. We prove that its deformation space is trivial and show how to use it to manipulate Lagrangian fillings with $\mathbb{L}$-compressing systems via Lagrangian disk surgeries.

Distinguishing dynamical quantum criticality through local fidelity distances

description: Using local quantum fidelity distances, we study the dynamical quantum phase transition in integrable and non-integrable one-dimensional Ising chains. Unlike the Loschmidt echo, the standard measure for distinguishing between two quantum states to describe the dynamical quantum phase transition, the local fidelity requires only a part of the system to characterize it. The non-analyticities in the quantum distance between two subsystem density matrices identify the critical time and the corresponding critical exponent reasonably well in a finite-size system. Moreover, we propose a distance measure from the upper bound of the local quantum fidelity for certain quench protocols where the entanglement entropy features oscillatory growth in time. This local distance encodes the difference between the eigenvalue distribution of the initial and quenched subsystem density matrices and quantifies the critical properties. The alternative distance measure could be employed to examine the dynamical quantum phase transitions in a broader range of models, with implications for gaining insights into the transition from the entanglement perspective.

description: Originally published by Cambridge University Press: http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S000964070010931X
description: This article reviews the developing strategies of Catholic opposition to state laws for compulsory sterilization of so-called ‘feeble-minded’ residents of state institutions during the 1920s. In 1927 the Supreme Court, in its landmark decision Buck v. Bell, affirmed the constitutionality of such laws. This article traces the work of Catholic moral theologians, such as John A. Ryan, and representatives of various lay organizations in opposing such laws and educating Catholic laity on the natural law issues in the debate. In 1930 the National Catholic Welfare Conference published four pamphlets in a series entitled ‘Problems of Mental Deficiency’ that provided a full compliment of medical, legal, and moral objections to the laws. On 31 December 1930 Pope Pius XI in his encyclical ‘Casti Connubii’ provided an authoritative pronouncement on eugenics and sterilization that reaffirmed Catholic opposition to eugenics policy initiatives.

description: Capitalizing on recent work, that clarifies the consistent use of bosonization-debosonization methods to study Kondo-type quantum impurity models even in nonequilibrium settings, we revisit the compactification procedure of the two-channel Kondo model (by which it is rewritten more ``compactly'' using the single-channel version of the model and exploiting separation and duality between spin and charge) and uncover some hidden approximations that could limit its range of validity. This complements and extends, for two or any even number of channels, beyond previous work on the Toulouse limit of these models, and reinforces the need for the use of an extended framework in these calculations. We carry out a number of exact comparisons between the different models, and show that keeping track of the, so-called, consistency factors leads to full agreement between the compactified and original versions of the model.

description: In addition to the intrinsic clustering of galaxies themselves, the spatial distribution of galaxies observed in surveys is modulated by the presence of weak lensing due to matter in the foreground. This effect, known as magnification bias, is a significant contaminant to analyses of galaxy-lensing cross-correlations and must be carefully modelled. We present a method to estimate the magnification bias in spectroscopically confirmed galaxy samples based on finite differences of galaxy catalogues while marginalizing over errors due to finite step size. We use our estimator to measure the magnification biases of the CMASS and LOWZ samples in the SDSS BOSS galaxy survey, analytically taking into account the dependence on galaxy shape for fiber and PSF magnitudes, finding $α_{\rm CMASS} = 2.71 \pm 0.02$ and $α_{\rm LOWZ} = 2.45 \pm 0.02$ and quantify modelling uncertainties in these measurements. Finally, we quantify the redshift evolution of the magnification bias within the CMASS and LOWZ samples, finding a difference of up to a factor of three between the lower and upper redshift bounds for the former. We discuss how to account for this evolution in modelling and its interaction with commonly applied redshift-dependent weights. Our method should be readily-applicable to upcoming surveys and we make our code publicly available as part of this work.

description: The present work explores the viability of Palmyra oil methyl ester (POME) as a renewable biodiesel. Initially, oil is extracted from the Palmyra fruit and the oil is transesterified to produce Palmyra oil methyl ester. Preliminary tests were conducted with blends of Palmyra oil methyl esters. From the test results, it was found that the POME20 blend performed better than other blends and was considered as an optimised blend. Secondly, analysis was carried out with POME20 on the CI engine at three injection pressures (210bar, 230bar and 250bar). POME20 at 230bar was shown to have improved thermal efficiency and reduced emissions of CO, HC and CO2 except NOX emissions. Finally, the tests were repeated for optimal conditions of 230bar injection pressure along with 6% and 12% EGR rates. The experimental results revealed that POME20 operated at 230bar 6% EGR rate observed a drastic reduction of NOX by 32.08% and 57.49% compared to diesel and POME20.

description: A causal decomposition analysis allows researchers to determine whether the difference in a health outcome between two groups can be attributed to a difference in each group's distribution of one or more modifiable mediator variables. With this knowledge, researchers and policymakers can focus on designing interventions that target these mediator variables. Existing methods for causal decomposition analysis either focus on one mediator variable or assume that each mediator variable is conditionally independent given the group label and the mediator-outcome confounders. In this paper, we propose a flexible causal decomposition analysis method that can accommodate multiple correlated and interacting mediator variables, which are frequently seen in studies of health behaviors and studies of environmental pollutants. We extend a Monte Carlo-based causal decomposition analysis method to this setting by using a multivariate mediator model that can accommodate any combination of binary and continuous mediator variables. Furthermore, we state the causal assumptions needed to identify both joint and path-specific decomposition effects through each mediator variable. To illustrate the reduction in bias and confidence interval width of the decomposition effects under our proposed method, we perform a simulation study. We also apply our approach to examine whether differences in smoking status and dietary inflammation score explain any of the Black-White differences in incident diabetes using data from a national cohort study.

description: This thesis responds critically to Butler's anti-realist theory of gender, in which she claims to overturn the distinction between "sex" and "gender," and argues that "sex" is itself partly formed and shaped by its involvement in hegemonic discursive norms and practices. It does this in two parts, through a close reading and analysis of several key texts in Butler's oeuvre. In the first part, this thesis argues that Butler's denial of sex as an independently existing bodily reality is a product of her anti-realism, which results in a radical form of social constructionism that claims that both "sex" and "gender" are discursively constituted. The thesis looks at the considerations she uses to ground this position, and finds them to be wanting. In the place of this anti-realism, a form of critical realism is defended. In the second part of the thesis, Butler's anti-realism is connected to her theory of feminist political activism, and it is argued that several features of her preferred model of political resistance as the "subversive repetition" of cultural hegemony, a model in which the influence of deconstruction is visible, are a direct consequence of her commitment to antirealism. The thesis will argue, furthermore, that Butler's anti-realism has a negative effect on her political program overall, leaving her without the resources to provide full accounts of a number of concepts that are crucial for any contemporary form of critical feminist political activity, like "body" and "agency." And lastly, this thesis advocates a revised structural theory of gender as a new theoretical basis for contemporary political resistance, one which holds that "gender," along with race, class, and other social categories, is a set of micro-level and macro-level structures existing at the confluence of a number of interrelated and intersecting social and cultural factors, through which individual lives are constrained and enabled by various kinds of socially instituted and structured forces.

description: With the control of ever more complex quantum systems becoming a reality, new scenarios are emerging where generalizations of the most foundational aspects of statistical quantum mechanics are imperative. In such experimental scenarios the often natural correspondence between the particles that compose the system and the relevant degrees-of-freedom might not be observed. In the present work we employ quantum channels to define generalized subsystems, which should capture the pertinent degrees-of-freedom, and obtain their associated canonical state. Moreover, we show that generalized subsystems also display the phenomena of canonical typicality, i.e., the generalized subsystem description generated from almost any microscopic pure state of the whole system will behave similarly as the corresponding canonical state. In particular we demonstrate that the property regulating the emergence of the canonical typicality behavior is the entropy of the channel used to define the generalized subsystem.

description: The electrical characterisation of classical and quantum devices is a critical step in the development cycle of heterogeneous material stacks for semiconductor spin qubits. In the case of silicon, properties such as disorder and energy separation of conduction band valleys are commonly investigated individually upon modifications in selected parameters of the material stack. However, this reductionist approach fails to consider the interdependence between different structural and electronic properties at the danger of optimising one metric at the expense of the others. Here, we achieve a significant improvement in both disorder and valley splitting by taking a co-design approach to the material stack. We demonstrate isotopically-purified, strained quantum wells with high mobility of 3.14(8)$\times$10$^5$ cm$^2$/Vs and low percolation density of 6.9(1)$\times$10$^{10}$ cm$^{-2}$. These low disorder quantum wells support quantum dots with low charge noise of 0.9(3) $μ$eV/Hz$^{1/2}$ and large mean valley splitting energy of 0.24(7) meV, measured in qubit devices. By striking the delicate balance between disorder, charge noise, and valley splitting, these findings provide a benchmark for silicon as a host semiconductor for quantum dot qubits. We foresee the application of these heterostructures in larger, high-performance quantum processors.

description: Eggplant and watermelon, as one of the important vegetative crops have grown worldwide. The aim of the present study was to analyze the overall growth of the two inbreed crops varieties after the biofield energy treatment. The plots were selected for the study, and divided into two parts, control and treated. The control plots were left as untreated, while the treated plots were exposed with Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment. Both the crops were cultivated in different fields and were analyzed for the growth contributing parameters as compared with their respective control. To study the genetic variability in both plants after biofield energy treatment, DNA fingerprinting was performed using RAPD method. The eggplants were reported to have uniform colored, glossy, and greener leaves, which are bigger in size. The canopy of the eggplant was larger with early fruiting, while the fruits have uniform shape and the texture as compared with the control. However, the watermelon plants after the biofield treatment showed higher survival rate, with larger canopy, bright and dark green leaves compared with the untreated plants. The percentage of true polymorphism observed between control and treated samples of eggplant and watermelon seed samples were an average value of 18% and 17%, respectively. Overall, the data suggest that Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment has the ability to alter the plant growth rate, and can be utilized in better way as compared with the existing agricultural crop improvement techniques to improve the overall crop yield.

description: The objective of this thesis is to assess the suitability of using both raw and processed USGS LiDAR data to determine walkway cross-slope using. Areas with greater than 2% cross-slope exceed the accessibility design guidelines for sidewalk crossslope published as a part of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A GIS (Geographic Information System) algorithm to produce cross-slopes from LiDAR (Light Imaging, Detection, And Ranging) derived DEMs (Digital Elevation Maps) was utilized for this work, and its accuracy was compared to ground-truth cross-slope from individual LiDAR pules as well as readings from a hand-held digital inclinometer. A secondary objective is to utilize image recognition analysis to identify different the types of walkway surface material used along the surveyed walkway. A tertiary objective is to use a bicycle mounted GoPro camera system capture mono and stereo imagery in conjunction with an iPad or Android-GPS-cellphone used to capture position. In a MATLAB processing environment, GoPro imagery was corrected for lens distortion in both the stereo and mono versions. Imagery location was determined by assigning individual GoPro images (or stereo-pairs) to GPS points in ArcGIS using time as the primary table key. Analyst-derived edge detection was used to find width and then find cross-slope (for the stereo-pairs only) from the 3D stereo-pair point clouds. In addition to building a georeferernced library of images for assessment of walkway condition, There were multiple technical results from this thesis research. It was found that the accuracy of the GPS receiver telemetry was dependent on the presence or absence of cellular-network-geopositional accuracy enhancement subroutines as well as vegetative canopy cover. In terms of cross-slope results it was found that in the context of Fairfax County’s Accotink multi-use trail, there was a greater overall incidence of > 2% crossslope than Poquoson’s Tidewater, marsh-based sidewalk network. DEM accuracy was assessed with two methodologies, with digital inclinometer and by picking out individual LiDAR transect points from a raw point-cloud and using the slope intercept formula. It was found that LiDAR based DEMS underestimated slope as compared to the two ground-truthing methods. The surface classification methods were effective in determining gravel and concrete but less effective in determining the presence of other surface types. This thesis consisted of three phases and occurred in two geographic locations. Phase one and two occurred in Fairfax County’s Accotink Creek multi-use trail. Phase two utilized a cell-network accuracy assisted GPS while phase two did not. The third phase occurred on walkways in the city of Poquoson, Virginia.
