description: Ferroelectric topological objects (e.g. vortices, skyrmions) provide a fertile ground for exploring emerging physical properties that could potentially be utilized in future configurable nanoelectronic devices. Here, we demonstrate quasi-one-dimensional metallic high conduction channels along two types of exotic topological defects, i.e. the topological cores of (i) a quadrant vortex domain structure and (ii) a center domain (monopole-like) structure confined in high quality BiFeO3 nanoisland array, abbreviated as the vortex core and the center core. We unveil via phase-field simulations that the superfine (< 3 nm) metallic conduction channels along center cores arise from the screening charge carriers confined at the core whereas the high conductance of vortex cores results from a field-induced twisted state. These conducting channels can be repeatedly and reversibly created and deleted by manipulating the two topological states via an electric field, leading to an apparent electroresistance effect with an on/off ratio higher than 103. These results open up the possibility of utilizing these functional one-dimensional topological objects in high-density nanoelectronic devices such as ultrahigh density nonvolatile memory.

description: Sensitivity and resolution of space telescopes are directly related to the size of the primary mirror. Enabling such future extremely large space telescopes or even arrays of those will require to drastically reduce the areal weight of the mirror system. Utilizing a thin parabolic polymeric membrane as primary mirror offers the prospect of very low weight and the flexible nature of those membranes allows compactly store them upon launch. Upon deployment the structure is unfolded and the mirror shape restored. Being an extremely thin structure, an active shape correction is required. Utilizing a thermal control of the surface via radiative coupling, localized shape changes are imprinted into the membrane telescope. In this paper we present the modelling and experimental test of the radiative adaptive optics. A detailed modeling of the influence function of the radiative shaping onto the membrane mirror has been carried out. Experimentally we have been radiatively actuated the shape of a prototype mirror in closed loop with a wavefront sensor and proven that we can control the mirrors surface figure to a ~15nm RMS precision.

description: The paper evaluates swine odor management strategies using the fuzzy extension of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is a multiple criteria decision making approach based on fuzzy scales. The evaluation is conducted using data from our cost effectiveness study of odor management strategies and our on farm studies relating odor to various management practices. These strategies include manual oil sprinkling, automatic oil sprinkling, wet scrubber, diffusion-coagulation-separation (DCS) deduster, pelleting feed, and draining shallow pit weekly. The criteria employed to evaluate the strategies are odor reduction efficiency, costs, nutrients in manure, and other benefits. Two producer profiles are considered: (a) producers who are pressured to achieve maximum reduction in odor emissions; and (b) producers who are constrained with limited financial resources. Both of these profiles are reflective of current situations for some producers. The results show that, as the scale fuzziness decreases, the preference of the first producer profile over the strategies from high to low is DCS deduster, pelleting feed, automatic oil sprinkling, manual oil sprinkling, draining pit weekly, and wet scrubber while the preference of the second producer profile is draining pit weekly, DCS dedusters, automatic oil sprinkling, wet scrubbers, pelleting feed, and manual oil sprinkling.

description: A distributed and transparent ledger system is considered for various e-commerce products including health medicines, electronics, security appliances, food products and many more to ensure technological and e-commerce sustainability. This solution, named as 'PRODCHAIN', is a generic blockchain framework with lattice-based cryptographic processes for reducing the complexity for tracing the e-commerce products. Moreover, we have introduced a rating based consensus process called Proof of Accomplishment (PoA). The solution has been analyzed and experimental studies are performed on Ethereum network. The results are discussed in terms of latency and throughput which prove the efficiency of PRODCHAIN in e-commerce products and services. The presented solution is beneficial for improving the traceability of the products ensuring the social and financial sustainability. This work will help the researchers to gain knowledge about the blockchain implications for supply chain possibilities in future developments for society.

description: The quantum phase diagram of disordered wires in a strong magnetic field is studied as a function of wire width and energy. The two-terminal conductance shows zero-temperature discontinuous transitions between exactly integer plateau values and zero. In the vicinity of this transition, the chiral metal-insulator transition (CMIT), states are identified that are superpositions of edge states with opposite chirality. The bulk contribution of such states is found to decrease with increasing wire width. Based on exact diagonalization results for the eigenstates and their participation ratios, we conclude that these states are characteristic for the CMIT, have the appearance of nonchiral edges states, and are thereby distinguishable from other states in the quantum Hall wire, namely, extended edge states, two-dimensionally (2D) localized, quasi-1D localized, and 2D critical states.

description: We demonstrate the violation of kT-factorization for quark production in high energy hadronic collisions. This violation is quantified in the Color Glass Condensate framework and studied as a function of the quark mass, the quark transverse momentum, and the saturation scale Qsat, which is a measure of large parton densities. At x values where parton densities are large but leading twist shadowing effects are still small, violations of kT-factorization can be significant - especially for lighter quarks. At very small x, where leading twist shadowing is large, we show that violations of kT-factorization are relatively weaker.

description: Recently, there have been several suggestions that weak Kerr nonlinearity can be used for generation of macroscopic superpositions and entanglement and for linear optics quantum computation. However, it is not immediately clear that this approach can overcome decoherence effects. Our numerical study in this paper shows that nonlinearity of weak strength could be useful for macroscopic entanglement generation and quantum gate operations in the presence of decoherence. We suggest specific values for real experiments based on our analysis. Our discussion shows that the generation of macroscopic entanglement using this approach is within reach of current technology.

description: In this paper, we focus on the kangaroo, which has powerful legs capable of jumping and a soft and strong tail. To incorporate these unique structure into a robot for utilization, we propose a design method that takes into account both the feasibility as a robot and the kangaroo-mimetic structure. Based on the kangaroo's musculoskeletal structure, we determine the structure of the robot that enables it to jump by analyzing the muscle arrangement and prior verification in simulation. Also, to realize a tail capable of body support, we use an articulated, elastic structure as a tail. In order to achieve both softness and high power output, the robot is driven by a direct-drive, high-power wire-winding mechanism, and weight of legs and the tail is reduced by placing motors in the torso. The developed kangaroo robot can jump with its hind legs, moving its tail, and supporting its body using its hind legs and tail.

description: The 147 members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) reached an agreement July 31, 2004, on the framework for the final phase of the Doha Development Agenda of global trade talks. After failing to reach such an agreement at the Cancun ministerial meeting in September, 2003, this framework agreement puts the Doha Round back on-track. Negotiations on the details will begin in September 2004. The original deadline to complete talks by January 1, 2005, has been postponed, and the next WTO Ministerial Conference will be held in Hong Kong in December 2005, at which point the talks could near their conclusion. The objective of this report is to analyze the potential impact of the framework agreement on U.S. agriculture. Most of the details of the agreement have not yet been determined, so an in-depth empirical analysis of the Doha Round is not possible. The agreement does, however, provide a number of objectives and a framework for the final agreement which can be analyzed.

description: We analyze the spatial and kinematic properties of a large sample of young T Tauri type stars in a 500 pc radius solar neighborhood, closely related to the Gould belt. The following parameters of the exponential density distribution have been determined: the average $(z_G)_\odot=-25\pm5$ pc and scale height $h_G=56\pm6$ pc. We propose a method of excluding background stars from the samples, which are located at large heights with respect to the symmetry plane of the Gould belt. We discovered that the expansion effect for the entire star system, $K_G=6\pm1$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$, is determined mainly by the dynamics of the Scorpius-Centaurus association. We show that the angular velocity of the residual intrinsic rotation of the Gould belt can reach $Ω_G=6.9\pm0.2$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$ and that this rotation is opposite to the galactic rotation.

description: We are interested in numerically solving the Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equations, which arise in optimal control and many other applications. Oftentimes, such equations are posed in high dimensions, and this poses great numerical challenges. This work proposes a class of adaptive sparse grid (also called adaptive multiresolution) local discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for solving Hamilton-Jacobi equations in high dimensions. By using the sparse grid techniques, we can treat moderately high dimensional cases. Adaptivity is incorporated to capture kinks and other local structures of the solutions. Two classes of multiwavelets are used to achieve multiresolution, which are the orthonormal Alpert's multiwavelets and the interpolatory multiwavelets. Numerical tests in up to four dimensions are provided to validate the performance of the method.

description: Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) provide state-of-the-art performances in a wide variety of tasks that require memory. These performances can often be achieved thanks to gated recurrent cells such as gated recurrent units (GRU) and long short-term memory (LSTM). Standard gated cells share a layer internal state to store information at the network level, and long term memory is shaped by network-wide recurrent connection weights. Biological neurons on the other hand are capable of holding information at the cellular level for an arbitrary long amount of time through a process called bistability. Through bistability, cells can stabilize to different stable states depending on their own past state and inputs, which permits the durable storing of past information in neuron state. In this work, we take inspiration from biological neuron bistability to embed RNNs with long-lasting memory at the cellular level. This leads to the introduction of a new bistable biologically-inspired recurrent cell that is shown to strongly improves RNN performance on time-series which require very long memory, despite using only cellular connections (all recurrent connections are from neurons to themselves, i.e. a neuron state is not influenced by the state of other neurons). Furthermore, equipping this cell with recurrent neuromodulation permits to link them to standard GRU cells, taking a step towards the biological plausibility of GRU.

description: In previous papers we solved the Landau problems, indexed by 2M, for a particle on the ``superflag'' S U (2|1)/[U (1) x U (1)], the M = 0 case being equivalent to the Landau problem for a particle on the ``supersphere'' S U (2|1)/[U (1|1)]. Here we solve these models in the planar limit. For M = 0 we have a particle on the complex superplane C(1|1) ; its Hilbert space is the tensor product of that of the Landau model with the 4-state space of a ``fermionic'' Landau model. Only the lowest level is ghost-free, but for M > 0 there are no ghosts in the first [2M ]+1 levels. When 2M is an integer, the ([2M ] + 1)th level states form short supermultiplets as a consequence of a fermionic gauge invariance analogous to the ``kappa-symmetry'' of the superparticle.

description: This report is a compilation of North Dakota data. It is a general reference about socioeconomic conditions and trends in selected economic, demographic, public service, and fiscal variables. Data describing the state's economic base, population, income, employment, retail sales, human and financial resources, local government finance, health and safety, and housing are presented. Data are presented and compared at the county level, the state planning region level, and by metropolitan status. In addition, population, trade area population, taxable sales and purchases, and pull factors are presented at the municipal level. Graphic displays follow the tabular presentations of the data at the county and state planning region level. All of the data items for which county-level data were available are also illustrated for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties in the state. North Dakota's traditional dependence on agriculture and energy resulted in downturns in the state's economy during the 1980s. Since that time, efforts to diversity the economy have resulted in economic growth. Population declines during the 1980s have been reversed, although the growth rate during the 1990s was less than one percent. Much of the population growth has been in major trade centers where job opportunities exist, usually at the expense of the most rural areas of the state. This is consistent with the continuing trend of fewer and larger farms. North Dakota's population has become more educated, but older. The growing elderly population has resulted in a larger amount of federal transfer payments to retired persons in the state. Rural areas of the state generally lag behind the metropolitan areas in many measures such as population, income, employment growth, and health care. This report helps to illustrate the socioeconomic differences that exist between major trade centers and rural counties with a small population base. Documentation of the trends that have developed gives decision makers, planners, and economic development professionals a basis on which to plan future programs/policies. Policies and programs are likely to affect areas of the state differently, so the objectives need to be analyzed thoroughly to achieve the desired results.

The time-dependence of entanglement entropy and the effective Schmidt number are derived for Gaussian amplitudes. In particular we show how the entanglement is controlled by the initial fluctuations of atoms and photons.

Moreover, the trade-off between equity and precision makes it difficult to obtain recommendations that meet both criteria. Here we propose a Deep Learning based Collaborative Filtering algorithm that provides recommendations with an optimum balance between fairness and accuracy without knowing demographic information about the users. Experimental results show that it is possible to make fair recommendations without losing a significant proportion of accuracy.

Dynamic scheduling in a cluster tool for semiconductor manufacturing
Creators: name: Manoochehri, Sasan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Cluster tools play an important role in the semiconductor fabrication industry. Optimization of an individual cluster tool maximizes productivity of mass fabrication. Optimizing the scheduler results in increased throughput. The cluster tool is a real-time, dynamic environment in which different parts interact. That is why it is necessary to have a dynamic scheduler that makes its decisions online and within an acceptable computation time in the presence of unexpected sporadic events. Our contribution is to develop and implement a scheduler for a cluster tool. Attributes of the scheduler are predictive, periodic and dynamic to satisfy real-time characteristics of the cluster tool. The major characteristic of the scheduler is that it is optimized to produce high throughput and low complexity, i.e. time to schedule as overhead. First steady-state and transient-state of the cluster tool are analyzed. Then different scheduling algorithms are experimented with and compared. As the results of experiments demonstrate, throughput is optimized in steady-state and transient-state of the scheduler with low overhead.

description: This paper assesses the impact of mandatory Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP) regulation on output price for small meat processors and packers and evaluates implications for firm-level profitability. The importance of HACCP regulation and pricing is an issue that deserves in-depth analysis because of its implications for the survival of small firms in the meat industry. To investigate this issue a survey was sent to meat processors and packers in the United States to collect data on HACCP expenses, output price before and after HACCP implementation, and inputs prices and quantities. Although output price did not increase significantly to compensate for HACCP expenses, analysis of the translog profit function revealed that small firms were more profitable after HACCP implementation. Other than price increase, these results suggest that HACCP provide incentives like reduced product rework to small firms.

From the line fluxes and the expansion velocities, we have derived an approximate mass for the ejected shells of 2$\div3\times 10^{-4} M_\odot$. The filling factor measurements ($ε\sim 10^{-4}÷10^{-1}$) suggest a clumpy structure for the ejecta.

description: To understand the formation of planetary systems, one needs to understand the initial conditions of planet formation, i.e. the young gas-rich planet forming disks. Spatially resolved high-contrast observations are of particular interest, since substructures in disks, linked to planet formation, can be detected and close companions or even planets in formation embedded in the disk can be revealed. In this study we present the first result of the DESTINYS survey (Disk Evolution Study Through Imaging of Nearby Young Stars). DESTINYS is an ESO/SPHERE large program that aims at studying disk evolution in scattered light, mainly focusing on a sample of low-mass stars (<1$M_\odot$) in nearby (~200 pc) star-forming regions. In this particular study we present the observations of the ET Cha (RECX 15) system, a nearby 'old' classical T Tauri star (5-8 Myr, ~100 pc), which is still strongly accreting. We use SPHERE/IRDIS in H-band polarimetric imaging mode to obtain high contrast images of the ET Cha system to search for scattered light from the circumstellar disk as well as thermal emission from close companions. We additionally employ VLT/NACO total intensity archival data taken in 2003. We report here the discovery of a low-mass (sub)stellar companion with SPHERE/IRDIS to ET Cha. We are estimating the mass of this new companion based on photometry. Depending on the system age it is a 5 Myr, 50 $M_{Jup}$ brown dwarf or an 8 Myr, 0.10 $M_\odot$ M-type pre-main-sequence star. We explore possible orbital solutions and discuss the recent dynamic history of the system. Independent of the precise companion mass we find that the presence of the companion likely explains the small size of the disk around ET Cha. The small separation of the binary pair indicates that the disk around the primary component is likely clearing from the outside in, explaining the high accretion rate of the system.

description: Provides estimates of the lignite industry's contribution to the North Dakota economy, using key economic indicators such as retail trade activity, personal income, total business activity, employment, and tax revenues. The estimates are based on actual industry expenditures for 1996 and projected expenditures for 1997. This analysis contains two measures of the relative importance of the lignite energy industry in North Dakota: (1) the industry's share of the state's total sales to final demand (or exports) and (2) the business volume generated by the industry is compared to the total gross business volume for the state. Expenditures were obtained from a survey of firms involved in lignite-related activities (mining or conversion) in North Dakota.

description: The generalized second law of gravitational thermodynamics is applied to the present era of accelerated expansion of the Universe. In spite of the fact that the entropy of matter and relic gravitational waves inside the event horizon diminish, the mentioned law is fulfilled provided that the expression for the entropy density of the gravitational waves satisfies a certain condition.

description: A comparison of experimental heavy residue cross sections from the reactions 86Kr+64Ni,112,124Sn with the model of deep-inelastic transfer (DIT) is carried out. A modified expression for nucleon transfer probabilities is used at non-overlapping projectile-target configurations, introducing a dependence on isospin asymmetry at the nuclear periphery. The experimental yields of neutron-rich nuclei close to the projectile are reproduced better and the trend deviating from the bulk isospin equilibration is explained. For the neutron-rich products further from the projectile, originating from hot quasiprojectiles, the statistical multifragmentation model reproduces the mass distributions better than the model of sequential binary decay. In the reaction with proton-rich target 112Sn the nucleon exchange appears to depend on isospin asymmetry of nuclear periphery only when surface separation is larger than 0.8 fm due to the stronger Coulomb interaction at more compact di-nuclear configuration.

description: We report on a toy model for the glassy compaction dynamics of granular systems, introduced and investigated in collaboration with Anita Mehta and Peter Stadler. A stochastic dynamics is defined on a column of grains. Grains are anisotropic and possess a discrete orientational degree of freedom. Gravity induces long-range directional interactions down the column. The key control parameter of the model, $ε$, is a representation of granular shape. Rational and irrational values of $ε$ correspond to very different kinds of behavior, both in statics (structure of ground states) and in low-temperature dynamics (retrieval of ground states).

description: Radar sensors are an important part of driver assistance systems and intelligent vehicles due to their robustness against all kinds of adverse conditions, e.g., fog, snow, rain, or even direct sunlight. This robustness is achieved by a substantially larger wavelength compared to light-based sensors such as cameras or lidars. As a side effect, many surfaces act like mirrors at this wavelength, resulting in unwanted ghost detections. In this article, we present a novel approach to detect these ghost objects by applying data-driven machine learning algorithms. For this purpose, we use a large-scale automotive data set with annotated ghost objects. We show that we can use a state-of-the-art automotive radar classifier in order to detect ghost objects alongside real objects. Furthermore, we are able to reduce the amount of false positive detections caused by ghost images in some settings.
Entanglement properties of degenerate four-wave mixing of matter-waves in a periodic potential

description: In a recent experiment Campbell et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 020406 (2006)] observed degenerate four-wave mixing of matter-waves in a one-dimensional optical lattice, a process with potential for generating entanglement among atoms. We analyse the essential quantum features of the experiment to show that entanglement is created between the quadratures of the two scattered atomic clouds and is a true many-body (rather than two-body) effect. We demonstrate a significant violation of entanglement inequalities that is robust to a moderate level of coherent seeding. The system is thus a promising candididate for generating macroscopically entangled atomic samples.

description: A systematic perturbation theory is developed for the ESR shift and is applied to the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain. Using the Bethe ansatz technique, we exactly analyze the resonance shift in the first order of perturbative expansion with respect to an anisotropic exchange interaction. Exact result for the whole range of temperature and magnetic field, as well as asymptotic behavior in the low-temperature limit are presented. The obtained g-shift strongly depends on magnetic fields at low temperature, showing a significant deviation from the previous classical result.
