description: We analyze the behaviour of a system of particles living on a periodic crystal in the presence of a magnetic field B. This can be done by involving a periodic potential U(x) and the Rashba interaction of coupling constant k_{so}. By resorting the corresponding spectrum, we explicitly determine the band structures and the Bloch spinors. These allow us to discuss the system symmetries in terms of the polarizations where they are shown to be broken. The dynamical spin will be studied by calculating different quantities. In the limits: k_{so} and U(x)=0, we analyze again the system by deriving different results. Considering the strong $B$ case, we obtain an interesting result that is the conservation of the polarizations. Analyzing the critical point λ_{k,σ}=\pm\sq{1\over 2}, we show that the Hilbert space associated to the spectrum in z-direction has a zero mode energy similar to that of massless Dirac fermions in graphene. Finally, we give the resulting energy spectrum when B=0 and U(x) is arbitrary.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

description: An approximate many-body theory incorporating two-body correlations has been employed to calculate low-lying collective multipole frequencies in a Bose-Einstein condensate containing $A$ bosons, for different values of the interaction parameter $λ=\frac{Aa_{s}}{a_{ho}}$. Significant difference from the variational estimate of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation has been found near the collapse region. This is attributed to two-body correlations and finite range attraction of the realistic interatomic interaction. A large deviation from the hydrodynamic model is also seen for the second monopole breathing mode and the quadrupole mode for large positive $λ$.

description: The article considers the procedure for obtaining and using meteorological information from various sources that do not belong to the units of missile forces and artillery, in the interests of the functioning of reconnaissance and fire systems. The authors have developed an algorithm for translating meteorological information obtained from various sources (other military formations or civilian areas) that do not belong to the missile forces and artillery in a format used in missile forces and artillery using proprietary software products. The use of this software will allow the use of meteorological information from various sources in the interests of missile forces and artillery, which in turn will reduce the time of readiness of artillery units to open fire, to increase the effectiveness of enemy fire with reconnaissance and fire systems. which includes forces and means of missile and artillery units and will increase the survivability of the unit that carries out fire damage to the enemy

description: After a child is diagnosed with cancer their life changes dramatically, including their school attendance and education goals. This study was done to find out common schooling and education problems young cancer patients and survivors face and how cancer care team members try to help.
This study focused on the point of view of the cancer care team members. Cancer care team members include nurses, social workers, oncologists, and many other professionals. All cancer care team members who participated in the study took a survey and many of them also agreed to participate in a short interview.
We found that social workers and the hospital schoolteacher are the most likely people on the cancer care team to help young cancer patients with schooling and education concerns. The nurses and oncologists help more with medical concerns that can affect learning.

description: Integrating external language models (LMs) into end-to-end (E2E) models remains a challenging task for domain-adaptive speech recognition. Recently, internal language model estimation (ILME)-based LM fusion has shown significant word error rate (WER) reduction from Shallow Fusion by subtracting a weighted internal LM score from an interpolation of E2E model and external LM scores during beam search. However, on different test sets, the optimal LM interpolation weights vary over a wide range and have to be tuned extensively on well-matched validation sets. In this work, we perform LM fusion in the minimum WER (MWER) training of an E2E model to obviate the need for LM weights tuning during inference. Besides MWER training with Shallow Fusion (MWER-SF), we propose a novel MWER training with ILME (MWER-ILME) where the ILME-based fusion is conducted to generate N-best hypotheses and their posteriors. Additional gradient is induced when internal LM is engaged in MWER-ILME loss computation. During inference, LM weights pre-determined in MWER training enable robust LM integrations on test sets from different domains. Experimented with 30K-hour trained transformer transducers, MWER-ILME achieves on average 8.8% and 5.8% relative WER reductions from MWER and MWER-SF training, respectively, on 6 different test sets

description: In this work we present a dynamical model that succesfully describes the organization of mutualistic ecological systems. The main characteristic of these systems is the nested structure of the bipartite adjacency matrix describing their interactions. We introduce a nestedness coefficient, as an alternative to the Atmar and Patterson temperature, commonly used to measure the nestedness degree of the network. This coefficient has the advantage of being based on the robustness of the ecological system and it is not only describing the ordering of the bipartite matrix but it is also able to tell the difference, if any, between the degree of organization of each guild.

description: A procedure is outlined for the determination of magnetic exchange constants in anisotropic perovskite anitferromagnets using powder inelastic neutron scattering. Spin wave densities-of-states are measured using time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering for LaMnO$_{3}$ ($A$-type antiferromagnet), LaVO$_{3}$ ($C$-type), and LaFeO$_{3}$ ($G$-type) and compared to Heisenberg model calculations. The anisotropy of in-plane ($J_{ab}$) and out-of-plane ($J_{c}$) exchange constants can be obtained from the data. The procedure quickly determines the magnetic exchange interactions without the need for single-crystal dispersion measurements and allows for rapid systematic studies of the evolution of magnetism in perovskite systems.

The West Malaysian record is doubtful, as stated by Paulian himself (1978). The occurrence of C. wallacei outside Borneo has to be confirmed. The synonymy between Cyphopisthes wallacei and Cyphopisthes humeralis Gestro, 1899 (described from Borneo) established by Paulian (1978) doesn’t seem acceptable. The majority of published records for C. wallacei outside Borneo seems to be wrong. The genus Cyphopisthes Gestro, 1899 is in need of a revision.

Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: The paper deals with the description of particle deposition on walls from a turbulent flow over a large range of particle diameter, using a Langevin PDF model. The first aim of the work is to test how the present Langevin model is able to describe this phenomenon and to outline the physical as- pects which play a major role in particle deposition. The general features and characteristics of the present stochastic model are first recalled. Then, results obtained with the standard form of the model are presented along with an analysis which has been carried out to check the sensitivity of the predictions on different mean fluid quantities. These results show that the physical repre- sentation of the near-wall physics has to be improved and that, in particular, one possible route is to introduce specific features related to the near-wall coherent structures. In the following, we propose a simple phenomenological model that introduces some of the effects due to the presence of turbulent coherent structures on particles in a thin layer close to the wall. The results obtained with this phenomenological model are in good agreement with experimental evidence and this suggests to pursue in that direction, towards the development of more general and rigorous stochastic models that provide a link between a geometrical description of turbulent flow and a statistical one.

Food Sovereignty and Conceptualization of Agency: A Methodological Discussion
Creators: name: Ehlert, Judith
name: Voßemer, Christiane
Publisher: name: Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies
Year: 2015

description: The latest food crisis hit food producers and consumers – mainly in the Global South – hard and refocused attention to the question of global food security. The food sovereignty movement contributes to the growing re-politicization of the debate on ‘how to feed the world’. From an actor-oriented perspective, the article presents a methodological reflection of the concept of food sovereignty in opposition to the concept of food security, both agendas highly relevant in terms of food policies in Southeast Asia. After framing the two concepts against the development politics and emergence of global agriculture following World War II, this paper elaborates on how actors and agency are conceptualized under the food security regime as well as by the food sovereignty movement itself. With reference to these two concepts, we discuss in which ways an actor-oriented methodological approach is useful to overcome the observed essentialization of the peasantry as well as the neglect of individual peasants and consumers as food-sovereign actors.

We also construct series of vector spaces whose dimensions are Catalan numbers and Fuss--Catalan numbers respectively. Conjecturally, these spaces are related to spaces of global sections of vector bundles on (zero fibres of) Hilbert schemes and representations of rational Cherednik algebras.

Where Peasants Are Kings: Food Sovereignty in the Tagbanua Traditional Subsistence System

Publisher: name: Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies

description: Food sovereignty is predicated upon the rights of communities to determine culturally meaningful methods of agricultural cultivation in order to ensure the security of their diets and their lifeworld. The article provides an ethnographic study of two Tagbanua indigenous communities in the province of Palawan, Philippines, and analyzes the relation between swidden agriculture and food sovereignty. Traditional swidden farming is an integrative system that defines social relationships, structures a spiritual belief system, and builds a fundament of the Tagbanua identity. As a cultural praxis, it is also central to the manifestation of food sovereignty within the market system, constantly being challenged by internal exigencies – as opportunities for cultural reproduction are limited by changing lifestyles – and external interventions from both private and public sectors. The article discusses how the Tagbanua subsistence cultivation system serves as the main mechanism through which indigenous cultural communities assert their independence from the market system, thus establishing local control over food and food production systems.

description: The article is devoted to the need to adjust occupational health and safety management systems in pig farming due to an increase in the proportion of age-related workers due to a gradual increase in the retirement age. Natural biological processes occurring in the organisms of most people after 55-60 years of age are likely to increase the risks of an increase in the number of accidents, accidents, manifestations of occupational diseases. This should be taken into account by the heads of pig breeding enterprises and labor protection services when improving labor protection and safety systems at sites where age-related workers work. Based on the analysis, recommendations are given for changing the management of occupational safety and health at pig-breeding enterprises.

description: Motivated by the peculiar behavior of FeSi and FeSb2 we study the effect of local electronic correlations on magnetic, transport and optical properties in a specific type of band insulator, namely a covalent insulator. Investigating a minimum model of covalent insulator within a single-site dynamical mean-field approximation we are able to obtain the crossover from low temperature non-magnetic insulator to high-temperature paramagnetic metal with parameters realistic for FeSi and FeSb2 systems. Our results show that the behavior of FeSi does not imply microscopic description in terms of Kondo insulator (periodic Anderson model) as can be often found in the literature, but in fact reflects generic properties of a broader class of materials.

Urban Brokers of Rural Cuisine: Assembling National Cuisine at Cambodian Soup-Pot Restaurants
Creators: name: Feuer, Hart Nadav
Publisher: name: Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies
Year: 2015

description: Pre-prepared food venues (or soup-pot restaurants) in Cambodia and other Asian countries make their decisions about what to cook in a complex food–society nexus, factoring in their culinary skill, seasonality of ingredients, and diners’ expectations for variety. As such, soup-pot restaurants exist as tenuous brokers between rural food customs and the prevailing expectations of city dwellers. In urban areas, they are a transparent window into seasonality and market cycles, as well as an opportunity to encounter culinary diversity and participate in the consolidation of an everyday ‘national cuisine’. Soup-pot restaurants, in contrast to other restaurant formats, craft an experience that balances the agricultural and social dynamics of rural eating customs with city comforts. Typically, soup-pot restaurants can accomplish this while also serving as a space of dietary learning, providing meals that are culturally understood to be balanced and nutritious, and garnering support for local cuisine from across the socio-economic spectrum. As a site of research, these restaurants can be seen as potential innovators for managing the consequences of industrialization on food and agriculture, facilitating democratic daily practices of food sovereignty.

The quotient seven-sphere is a S^1-bundle over the CP^3 which is regarded as a S^2-fibration over the base S^4. By analyzing the AdS_4 supergravity scalar potential, the holographic supersymmetric(or nonsupersymmetric) renormalization group(RG) flow from N=1(or N=0) SO(5) x U(1)-invariant UV fixed point to N=6(or N=0) SU(4)_R x U(1)-invariant IR fixed point is obtained. The three-dimensional boundary theories are described by superconformal Chern-Simons matter theories and a dual operator corresponding to this RG flow is described.

Hansel and Gretel : a production thesis
Creators: name: Holmes, Jeffrey Farnsworth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The production of an opera is a complex proposition. There are many areas of thought and planning which are crucial to the presentation of a unified production. This thesis is a report, based on the University of British Columbia Opera Theatre's production of Engelbert Humperdinck's opera Hansel and Gretel. Of primary importance to the production is the director's concept of the work, since the rest of the details of the production are based on this concept. Chapter I deals with the director's concept of Hansel and Gretel, as well as with the way in which members of the cast dealt with the roles they were to play. The most tangible evidence of concept is the stage setting. This is the topic of Chapter II, which is both a report of the design phase of the sets, and a description of the construction of the sets. Lighting the stage forms the material for Chapter III. The designer's method is described, with the bulk of material, including his notes, light plot, and cue sheet appearing in the appendices. There are also several other areas of production which do not have sufficient bulk to become chapters. Chapter IV contains the report on costumes, makeup, publicity, tickets, programme, and properties. The "evidence" of the production appears in the appendices. Appendix I, the production score with all of the staging noted, appears in the envelope accompanying copy 1 of the thesis. Appendix II is a colection of plates and diagrams which deal with the stage settings, both from a conceptual and structural point of view. Appendix III is the material on lighting, while the actual cue sheet forms Appendix IV. The final Appendix contains lists and documents from the areas of production described in Chapter IV.
The Alternative Agriculture Network Isan and Its Struggle for Food Sovereignty – a Food Regime Perspective of Agricultural Relations of Production in Northeast Thailand
Creators: name: Heis, Alexandra
Publisher: name: Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies
Year: 2015

description: This paper uses the food regime analysis to visualize relations of domination and exploitation within the realm of food production and supply. Starting with an outlook on how the food regime plays out in the Thai context, the author goes on to elaborate its critical aspects fundamental for a food sovereignty critique: growing concentration of power on the side of transnational corporations, exploitative relations of production in agro-industry, and devastating effects for nature, small-scale producers, and increasingly also for consumers. In Northeast Thailand, the Alternative Agriculture Network Isan (AAN Isan) is struggling to secure income and subsistence agriculture for its members. This is achieved through a number of activities, some of which are introduced here in detail. Producer cooperatives, organic farming, green markets, or a local herb medicine center all aim at empowerment within the present market situation by using aspects of the health discourse to support their arguments and at the same time reinforcing a specific local politics of identity, rooted in notions of culture and religion.

Arctic housing : problems and prospects
Creators: name: Buchanan, Enid Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the problems involved in delivering government sponsored housing programs to a remote region of the country, the area north of the treeline in the Northwest Territories referred to as the Arctic. The development of government involvement in Arctic housing is traced from an historical perspective in order to gain some insight into how the Arctic housing delivery process has evolved. The current housing situation is examined according to three categories: housing supply, liveability and affordability. The applicability of existing government sponsored housing programs as vehicles for Arctic housing delivery is assessed according to criteria developed from the analysis of existing housing conditions. It is found that the current Arctic housing delivery process and the housing environment produced is a barrier to community development and a burden on the economy. Public housing appears to be the only program capable of functioning in the region. Yet, the public housing produced is found to be unsuited to the climatic conditions of the region and the lifestyle of its indigenous inhabitants, the Inuit. By examining the evolution of the Arctic housing environment and the performance of the institutions and actors responsible for the housing delivery process, an Arctic housing policy framework is proposed based upon community development principles. The proposed Arctic housing strategy plan recommends a restructuring of the institutional arrangements such that key resources in the housing delivery process; manual and managerial skills, materials and equipment, residential land development, and operating and capital funding be accessible at the local level. The success of this proposed scheme will depend upon local initiative and capabilities in responding to their own housing needs and as well upon the commitment of the central authority to act as a facilitator in providing an institutional environment conducive to the effective delivery of housing at the local level. The devolution of decision-making in the housing delivery process to the local level prepares for a smooth transition of housing services. For, if a Nunavut Territory as envisioned by the Inuit is established, the responsibility for housing services would fall within its jurisdiction.

description: The minisuperspace model in $3+d$ spatial dimensions with the matter, described by the bag model, is considered with the aim to estimate the probability of creation of the compactified extra dimensions in nuclear collisions. The amplitude of transition from 3- to $3+d$-dimensional space has been calculated both in the case of completely confined matter, when contribution of radiation is ignored, and in the case of radiation domination, when the bag constant is negligible. It turns out that the number of additional dimensions is limited in the first regime, while this is infinite in the second one. It is shown that the probability of creation of extra dimensions is finite in the both regimes.

description: The use of continuum emission radio galaxies as cosmological tracers of the large-scale structure will soon move into a new phase. Upcoming surveys from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), MeerKAT, and the Square Kilometre Array project (SKA) will survey the entire available sky down to an ~100uJy flux limit, increasing the number of detected extra-galactic radio sources by several orders of magnitude. External data and machine learning algorithms will also enable some low resolution radial selection (photometric redshift binning) of the sample, increasing the cosmological utility of the sample observed. In this paper, we discuss the flux limit required to detect enough galaxies to decrease the shot noise term in the error to be 10% of the total. We show how future surveys of this type will be limited by available technology. The confusion generated by the intrinsic sizes of galaxies may have the consequence that surveys of this type eventually reach a hard flux limit of ~100nJy, as is predicted by the current modelling of AGN sizes by simulations such as the Tiered Radio Extragalactic Continuum Simulation (T-RECS). Finally, when considering the multi-tracer approach, where galaxies are split by type to measure some bias ratio, we find that there are not enough AGN present to achieve a reasonable level of shot noise for this kind of measurement.

description: We present a new method for real-time non-rigid dense correspondence between point clouds based on structured shape construction. Our method, termed Deep Point Correspondence (DPC), requires a fraction of the training data compared to previous techniques and presents better generalization capabilities. Until now, two main approaches have been suggested for the dense correspondence problem. The first is a spectral-based approach that obtains great results on synthetic datasets but requires mesh connectivity of the shapes and long inference processing time while being unstable in real-world scenarios. The second is a spatial approach that uses an encoder-decoder framework to regress an ordered point cloud for the matching alignment from an irregular input. Unfortunately, the decoder brings considerable disadvantages, as it requires a large amount of training data and struggles to generalize well in cross-dataset evaluations. DPC's novelty lies in its lack of a decoder component. Instead, we use latent similarity and the input coordinates themselves to construct the point cloud and determine correspondence, replacing the coordinate regression done by the decoder. Extensive experiments show that our construction scheme leads to a performance boost in comparison to recent state-of-the-art correspondence methods. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/dvirginz/DPC.

Syngman Rhee’s Multidimensional Diplomacy: The Evolution of the Pacific Pact and the Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States and the Republic of Korea, 1948-1953

description: This thesis examines the origins and evolution of the 1953 Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK). Contrary to the conventional belief that the Treaty was a direct response to the outbreak of the Korean War (1950-1953), this study uncovers its roots extending back to pre-war discussions in 1948. 
Furthermore, this paper highlights the overlooked role of the ROK’s first president, Syngman Rhee, in countering communism in his nascent nation. Rhee’s diplomatic approach to regional security involved simultaneously pursuing three main proposals: forming a “Pacific Pact”, securing a bilateral defense agreement with the U.S., and obtaining a U.S. declaration to defend a unified Korea. The evolution of these proposals amidst geopolitical challenges, such as the Chinese Civil War (1927-1949) and the Korean War, is examined to understand their impact on the eventual formation of the U.S.-ROK Mutual Defense Treaty. This paper contends that the concurrent development and eventual failure of the Pacific Pact substantially shaped the trajectory of the U.S.-ROK Mutual Defense Treaty.
Through a meticulous examination of primary sources, including diplomatic correspondences, speeches, and memoirs, alongside existing scholarship, this research provides a nuanced understanding of the early Cold War security dynamics in the Asia-Pacific region. By drawing lessons from the Pacific Pact’s failure, this paper offers insights for contemporary regional security cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.

description: The influence of the orientation angles of the target nucleus symmetry axis relative to the beam direction on the production of the evaporation residues is investigated for the $^{48}$Ca+$^{154}$Sm reaction as a function of the beam energy. At low energies ($E_{\rm c.m.}$180 MeV $σ_{ER}$ ranges around 0.1--10 mb because the fission barrier for a compound nucleus decreases by increasing its excitation energy and angular momentum.

Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays from the Radio Lobes of AGNs

description: In the past year, the HiRes and Auger collaborations have reported the discovery of a high-energy cutoff in the ultra-high energy cosmic-ray (UHECR) spectrum, and an apparent clustering of the highest energy events towards nearby active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Consensus is building that such $\sim 10^{19}$--$10^{20}$ eV particles are accelerated within the radio-bright lobes of these sources, but it is not yet clear how this actually happens. In this paper, we report (to our knowledge) the first treatment of stochastic particle acceleration in such environments from first principles, showing that energies $\sim 10^{20}$ eV are reached in $\sim 10^6$ years for protons. However, our findings reopen the question regarding whether the high-energy cutoff is due solely to propagation effects, or whether it does in fact represent the maximum energy permitted by the acceleration process itself.

Imaging chiral Andreev reflection in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit coupling

description: In this work, we theoretically study transverse magnetic focusing in a two-dimensional electron gas with strong Rashba spin-orbit interaction when proximitized along its edge with a superconducting contact. The presence of superconducting correlations leads to the emergence of chiral Andreev edge states which -- within this weak magnetic field regime -- may be pictured as states following semiclassical skipping orbits with alternating electron-hole nature. The spin-orbit induced splitting of the Fermi surface causes these carriers to move along cyclotron orbits with different radii, allowing for their spatial spin separation. When Andreev reflection takes place at the superconducting lead, scattered carriers flip both their charge and spin, generating distinguishable features in the transport properties of the device. In particular, we report a notable enhancement of the separation between the spin-split focal points, which scales linearly with the number of Andreev scattering events at the anomalous terminal. We support our results by calculating conductance maps to arbitrary points in the sample that provide a complete image of the ballistic electron-hole cyclotron paths.

description: High resolution spectra of Comet 8P/Tuttle were obtained in the frequency range 3440.6-3462.6 cm-1 on 3 January 2008 UT using CGS4 with echelle grating on UKIRT. In addition to recording strong solar pumped fluorescent (SPF) lines of H2O, the long integration time (152 miutes on target) enabled eight weaker H2O features to be assigned, most of which had not previously been identified in cometary spectra. These transitions, which are from higher energy upper states, are similar in character to the so-called 'SH' lines recorded in the post Deep Impact spectrum of comet Tempel 1 (Barber et al., 2007). We have identified certain characteristics that these lines have in common, and which in addition to helping to define this new class of cometary line, give some clues to the physical processes involved in their production. Finally, we derive an H2O rotational temperature of 62+/- K and a water production rate of (1.4+/-0.3)E28 molecules/s.

description: We present ground-based optical and Spitzer Space Telescope infrared imaging observations of the ecliptic (Jupiter-family) comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, the parent body of the Draconid meteor stream, during its 2005 apparition. Onset of nucleus activity occurred at a pre-perihelion heliocentric distance, < 3.80 AU, while post-perihelion 21P was dusty (peak Afrho = 131 cm^{-1}) and active out to heliocentric distances > 3.3 AU following a logarithmic slope with heliocentric distance -2.04. Coma colors, (V-R) = 0.524 +/- 0.003, (R-I) = 0.487 +/- 0.004 are redder than solar, yet comparable to colors derived for other Jupiter-family comets. A nucleus radius of 1.82 +/- 0.05 km is derived from photometry at quiescence. Spitzer images post-perihelion exhibit an extensive coma with a prominent dust tail, where excess emission (over the dust continuum) in the 4.5 micron IRAC image arises from volatile gaseous CO and/or CO2. No dust trail was detected (3-sigma surface brightness upper-limit of 0.3 MJy/sr/pixel) along the projected velocity vector of comet 21P in the MIPS 24 micron image suggesting that the number density of trail particles is < 7 x 10^{-11} m^{-3}. The bolometric albedo of 21P derived from the contemporaneous optical and Spitzer observations is A(theta = 22 degr.) = 0.11, slightly lower than values derived for other comets at the same phase angle.
