description: Two quantitative notions of mixing are the decay of correlations and the decay of a mix-norm -- a negative Sobolev norm -- and the intensity of mixing can be measured by the rates of decay of these quantities. From duality, correlations are uniformly dominated by a mix-norm; but can they decay asymptotically faster than the mix-norm? We answer this question by constructing an observable with correlation that comes arbitrarily close to achieving the decay rate of the mix-norm. Therefore the mix-norm is the sharpest rate of decay of correlations in both the uniform sense and the asymptotic sense. Moreover, there exists an observable with correlation that decays at the same rate as the mix-norm if and only if the rate of decay of the mix-norm is achieved by its projection onto low-frequency Fourier modes. In this case, the function being mixed is called q-recurrent; otherwise it is q-transient. We use this classification to study several examples and raise questions for future investigations.

A new technique for the sp$^2$/sp$^3$ characterisation of carbon materials
Creators: name: Titantah, J.

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a technique to determine the sp$^3$/sp$^2$ ratio of carbon materials which is based on the electron energy-loss spectroscopy and which uses the theoretical spectrum of graphite obtained from ab initio electronic structure calculations. The method relies on the separation of the $π^*$ and $σ^*$ components of the carbon K-edge of graphite. This $π^*$ spectrum is adopted and assumed to be transferable to other carbon systems given an appropriate parametrisation of the broadening. The method is applied on a series of Monte-Carlo generated amorphous carbon structures and is shown to be stable over a wide range of the energy windows for which spectral integration is performed. The results are found to be in good agreement with the sp$^3$ fraction obtained from a microscopic scheme which uses the $π-$orbital axis vector (POAV1) analysis. The technique was also applied on a series of experimental spectra of amorphous carbon and was found to be in good agreement with the results obtained from a functional fitting approach.

description: Our traditional model of calculus instruction at a large public research university emphasized factual knowledge and procedural fluency with few realistic applications, leaving a chasm between classroom mathematics and disciplinary practice. Amid an ongoing effort by our department to improve undergraduate learning outcomes, we replaced recitations in Calculus II with computational team labs to bridge this divide. Interview, classroom observation, survey, and gradebook data suggest that the labs facilitated a rich learning experience while student grade outcomes were unchanged. Student engagement, however, were inhibited by institutional structural factors, whose remedy requires a shift in departmental culture concerning the purpose of mathematics instruction.

description: ClassdescMP is a distributed memory parallel programming system for use with C++ and MPI. It uses the Classdesc reflection system to ease the task of building complicated messages to be sent between processes. It doesn't hide the underlying MPI API, so it is an augmentation of MPI capabilities. Users can still call standard MPI function calls if needed for performance reasons.

description: This paper •shows conditions and procedures for deriving direct utility functions (D.U.F.) from indirect utility functions (I.U.F.) - provided that the latter can be written explicitly. For the fractional expenditure allocation model (F.E.A.M.) the I.U.F. appears to become a fairly simple integral. Derivation of D.U.F. from the I.U.F., however, appears to impose rather severe restrictions on parameters of the F.E.A.M., if not the number of commodities distinguished. For the "power" version of the F.E.A.M., this implies either constraints on the number and different values of the "power" parameters or the requirement that one of them become 1; mutatis mutandis the same applies to the generalized version of that model, viz. cross-bred with the linear expenditure system. In other cases approximate but still acceptable analytical D.U.F. might be derived provided that this would require but minor adjustments in one or more parameter estimates.

description: Binary systems undergoing unstable Roche Lobe overflow spill gas into their circumbinary environment as their orbits decay toward coalescence. In this paper, we use a suite of hydrodynamic models of coalescing binaries involving an extended donor and a more compact accretor. We focus on the period of unstable Roche Lobe overflow that ends as the accretor plunges within the envelope of the donor at the onset of a common envelope phase. During this stage, mass is removed from the donor and flung into the circumbinary environment. Across a wide range of binary mass ratios, we find that the mass expelled as the separation decreases from the Roche limit to the donor's original radius is of the order of 25% of the accretor's mass. We study the kinematics of this ejecta and its dependencies on binary properties and find that it assembles into a toroidal circumbinary distribution. These circumbinary tori have approximately constant specific angular momentum due to momentum transport by spiral shocks launched from the orbiting binary. We show that an analytic model with these torus properties captures many of the main features of the azimuthally-averaged profiles of our hydrodynamic simulations. Our results, in particular the simple relationship between accretor mass and expelled mass and its spatial distribution, may be useful in interpreting stellar coalescence transients like luminous red novae, and in initializing hydrodynamic simulations of the subsequent common envelope phase.

description: Let Gf A be the category of finite dimensional commutative formal == groups over a ring A. To A one associates a certain, in general noncommutative, ring Cart(A). One then defines a functor G C(G) which assigns to a formal group law G its group of curves which is a module over Cart(A). Theorems 2 and 3 of [1] now say that G C(G) is an equivalence of categories of GfA with a certain full subcategory of Cart(A)-modules. In this paper we give a new proof of theorem 3 of [1], Cartier's third theorem, which asserts that every Cart(A)-module of a certain type comes from a formal group law over A. This proof is based on the constructions of part TV of this series of papers [3].
title: An investigation of potential periglacial landforms on the northern plains of Mars: an integrated field, laboratory and remote sensing study
Creators: name: Barrett, Alexander Matthew
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: In this investigation the hypothesis that the Northern Plains of Mars have been shaped by periglacial processes is assessed. A periglacial formation mechanism has been proposed for a variety of martian landforms. These were examined with a particular focus on clastic patterned ground. Periglacial environments occur in cold climate regions of Earth due to the repeated freezing and thawing of water, they require the presence of liquid water to develop. Consequently, if martian landforms are periglacial then they would provide a useful geomorphic marker for locations where water has been liquid in the geologically recent past. The main strand of this investigation consisted of a survey of high resolution images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. Locations with putative periglacial landforms were examined to test this and other formation hypotheses. This series of surveys was supported by two other research activities; two field campaigns were conducted to examine sorted patterned ground in Iceland. Air photographs, verified by in situ observations, were compared to the martian features studied in the main survey. A laboratory study was also conducted with the aim of testing whether periglacial processes were viable under the low temperature conditions found on the martian surface in the present day. This “proof of concept” study proved inconclusive, but is summarised for completeness. It was found that the morphology and situation of these martian landforms was a reasonable fit for that which would be expected in a periglacial environment. Two alternative theories to explain the formation of martian clastic networks were rejected, as they did not appear to fit with the observed morphologies. It remains uncertain whether periglacial processes are viable on Mars, but they remain the best theory to explain the occurrence of clastic networks on the Northern Plains.

Non-linear sigma-model for odd triplet superconductivity in superconductor/ferromagnet structures

description: We consider some properties of odd frequency triplet superconducting condensates. In order to describe fluctuations we construct a supermatrix sigma-model for the superconductor/ferromagnet or superconductor/normal-metal structures. We show that an odd frequency triplet superconductor, when in isolation or coupled to a normal metal, generally displays behaviour comparable to a superconductor with the usual singlet pairings. However, for spin dependent systems such as the superconductor/ferromagnet the two types of superconductor have quite different behaviour. We discuss this difference by considering transformations under which the sigma-model is invariant. Finally, we calculate the low energy density of states in a ferromagnet coupled to a singlet superconductor. If odd frequency triplet components are induced in the ferromagnet the density of states will have a micro-gap similar to the micro-gap found in normal metals coupled to a superconductor.

description: Characterizing the surface material of an asteroid is important for understanding its geology and for informing mission decisions, such as the selection of a sample site. Diurnal surface temperature amplitudes are directly related to the thermal properties of the materials on the surface. We describe a numerical model for studying the thermal conductivity of particulate regolith in vacuum. Heat diffusion and surface-to-surface radiation calculations are performed using the finite element (FE) method in three-dimensional meshed geometries of randomly packed spherical particles. We validate the model for test cases where the total solid and radiative conductivity values of particulates with monodisperse particle size frequency distributions (SFDs) are determined at steady-state thermal conditions. Then, we use the model to study the bulk radiative thermal conductivity of particulates with polydisperse, cumulative power-law particle SFDs. We show that for each polydisperse particulate geometry tested, there is a corresponding monodisperse geometry with some effective particle diameter that has an identical radiative thermal conductivity. These effective diameters are found to correspond very well to the Sauter mean particle diameter, which is essentially the surface-area-weighted mean. Next, we show that the thermal conductivity of the particle material can have an important effect on the radiative component of the thermal conductivity of particulates, especially if the particle material conductivity is very low or the spheres are relatively large, owing to non-isothermality in each particle. We provide an empirical correlation to predict the effects of non-isothermality on radiative thermal conductivity in both monodisperse and polydisperse particulates.

description: This paper studies the Mean Squared Error (MSE) properties of .a proposed family of Ordinary Ridge Estimators (OREs) of the coefficients in the linear regression. We make extensive use of G( ) functions to provide both exact and asymptotic approximations to the MSE. Using these results we propose a new set of OREs whose MSE is smaller than that of the Ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator. These improved estimators can be used when faced with the multicollinearity problem. A simulation study is also done to further analyse the MSE of the proposed estimators compared with some of the existing OREs.

Semantics of UML 2.0 Activity Diagram for Business Modeling by Means of Virtual Machine

Subjects: subject: Computational Engineering, Finance, and Science (cs.CE)

description: The paper proposes a more formalized definition of UML 2.0 Activity Diagram semantics. A subset of activity diagram constructs relevant for business process modeling is considered. The semantics definition is based on the original token flow methodology, but a more constructive approach is used. The Activity Diagram Virtual machine is defined by means of a metamodel, with operations defined by a mix of pseudocode and OCL pre- and postconditions. A formal procedure is described which builds the virtual machine for any activity diagram. The relatively complicated original token movement rules in control nodes and edges are combined into paths from an action to action. A new approach is the use of different (push and pull) engines, which move tokens along the paths. Pull engines are used for paths containing join nodes, where the movement of several tokens must be coordinated. The proposed virtual machine approach makes the activity semantics definition more transparent where the token movement can be easily traced. However, the main benefit of the approach is the possibility to use the defined virtual machine as a basis for UML activity diagram based workflow or simulation engine.

description: Recent experiments on disordered superconductors find that the superfluid density $n_s(T)$ decreases dramatically and characteristically with disorder, differently from what is expected for a mean order parameter field or BCS, amplitude only, picture for the superconductor. We describe here a new microscopic free energy functional which explicitly describes its dependence on both the amplitude and phase of superconducting order, in a gauge invariant manner. We use this here in an approximation of noninteracting phase fluctuations (Gaussian or harmonic approximation) to obtain $n_s(T)$ in the presence of (static) disorder. We compare our results successfully with experiment.

description: As a first step to the realization of a new computer program to solve general nonlinear optimization problems, as a possible replacement of M.A.P. (Method of approximate programming, see Griffith and Stewart P[21, we have developed a computer code which minimizes a nonlinear objective function subjected to a set of linear equality and/or inequality constraints. The method we have chosen is a generalization to linearly constrained problems of the variable metric technique upon which the well known algorithms for unconstrained optimization of Davidon [2], Fletcher and Powell [4], NmAlen[1] and many others are based. This choice was based on the fact that quasi Newton (=variable metric) techniques compared very favorably with the optimization rethods used in the past. We therefore expect the new algorithm to be faster and more robust than the algorithms dealing with uncorrected gradient information. Part I of this report describes the mathematics and theoretical backgrounds behind our new linearly constrained optimization code, which we have called : VLICO ( a Variable metric method for Linearly Constrained Optimization.) In part II we discuss the extension of the linearly constrained optimization code VLICO, to the case of the general nonlinear programming problem. We have used for this extension the two phaseynethod described by J.B. Rosen [22]. The resulting algorithm has been implemented in a computer program called VANOP (VAriable metric Nonlinear OPtimization) which has shown a fast and robust convergence behaviour on a broad class of test problems, and therefore may be a possible replacement for the MAP code which is now often used.

description: We compute the neutralino-nucleon cross section in several supersymmetric scenarios, taking into account all kind of constraints. In particular, the constraints that the absence of dangerous charge and colour breaking minima imposes on the parameter space are studied in detail. In addition, the most recent experimental constraints, such as the lower bound on the Higgs mass, the $b\to sγ$ branching ratio, and the muon $g-2$ are considered. The astrophysical bounds on the dark matter density are also imposed on the theoretical computation of the relic neutralino density, assuming thermal production. This computation is relevant for the theoretical analysis of the direct detection of dark matter in current experiments. We consider first the supergravity scenario with universal soft terms and GUT scale. In this scenario the charge and colour breaking constraints turn out to be quite important, and $\tanβ\lsim 20$ is forbidden. Larger values of $\tanβ$ can also be forbidden, depending on the value of the trilinear parameter $A$. Finally, we study supergravity scenarios with an intermediate scale, and also with non-universal scalar and gaugino masses where the cross section can be very large.

description: In this paper we construct universal infinite dimensional formal group laws and formal A-modules, This requires the consideration of formal group laws and formal A-modules over topological rings because universal infinite dimensional formal group laws and formal A-modules over discrete rings obviously cannot exist. The main motivation for these constructions is the classification theory for formal A-modules. Two of the main operators in this theory "q-typification" and fff, a Frobenius type operator, are defined via the universal example making it desirable to have also infinite dimensional universal objects. This is all the more desirable because the proofs for the classification theory, even for finite dimensional formal A-modules only, unavoidably involve infinite dimensional formal A-modules.

mixed reality technology

description: Modern CNC machining industries rely on the application of high-technology virtual simulations such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to become economically competitive, improve productivity, and ensure sustainability. However, the traditional way of using FEA in CNC machining industries is to perform the virtual studies at a completely offline location, that often leads to erroneous results, along with massive wastage of resources, time, and money. Real-time FEA is an emerging technique that generates real-time solutions in response to actual load variations. This research aims to integrate real-time FEA results with the corresponding real CNC machining process using Mixed Reality (MR) technologies to facilitate the machining operations to be economically competitive with higher efficiencies and improved sustainability. The proposed MR-based system enhances the real-time decision-making capability of the CNC machine operator. The preliminary results show that the use of real-time FEA could significantly improve the CNC machining results.

The inversion formula for the fan-beam tensor transform ${\cal D}_m $ follows from this decomposition. Thus obtained inversion formula can be used as a tomographic filter for splitting a known tensor field into potential and solenoidal parts. Numerical results are presented.

description: This paper gives a posterior analysis of Klein's well known model I [Klein (1950)]. The underlying prior distribution of the parameters which are interesting for economists is uniform on finite intervals, which exclude "wrong" signs. Monte Carlo is used as a numerical integration method in order to compute posterior results which include posterior moments and marginal posterior densities for structural parameters and for short-run and long-run multipliers. Special attention is given to the problem of constructing a good importance function, which is required in the Monte Carlo procedure. In addition, the posterior probability that the model is of the damped oscillatory type is computed and found to be 0.97.

description: We consider Einstein gravity on a patch of AdS$_3$ spacetime between two radii $r_1, r_2$. We compute surface charges and their algebra at an arbitrary radius $r$ such that it reduces to a given set of surface charges at $r_1, r_2$. The $r$-dependent charges become integrable upon addition of an appropriate boundary $Y$-term. We observe that soft excitations at each boundary are independent of those at the other boundary. We explicitly construct solution geometries which interpolate between these radii with specified surface charges. The interpolation is smooth provided that the mass and angular momentum measured at the two boundaries are equal.

In this talk, RISE member Maximilian Hindermann will share key learnings and practical tips his team has gathered.
An investigation into the replacement of packaged granulated sugars by liquid sugars

description: This report presents the triple bottom assessment of switching from the traditional granulated packaged sugar currently being used by the UBC Food Services, to liquid sugar. The drive of this project is to decrease the waste produced by the granulated sugar packets. The data presented in this report is limited to only a few cafes on campus, as the switch is not campus wide. For our analysis, we took into consideration two cafés; The Loop Café, where liquid sugars have temporarily replaced granulated packaged sugars, and Café Perugia that serves only granulated sugar. This was done so that the results in the survey are unbiased. It is important to note that the current provider of granulated sugar to UBC Food Services also provides the liquid sweeteners, and all research conducted was requested to be based on the products provided by this supplier. Variability by manufacturer/ supplier will not be taken into consideration in the scope of this project. The first step taken was achieving a general understanding of the background of the project. The team then carried out a triple bottom assessment to evaluate if the switch was a sustainable option. From an economic viewpoint, since the UBC Food Services is the end consumer, our evaluation would be influenced by cost per package, differences in consumption, shrinkage, and maintenance. Environmental considerations included waste created by packaging, waste products from manufacturing, and energy consumption. For the social aspect it was determined that customer satisfaction, taste and texture, and resistance to change would be factors considered in our investigation. A survey was then carried out on a small sample of the UBC population; it was found that the customers are satisfied with the switch. Switching to the liquid sugar, eliminates the issue of waste. However, liquid invert sugar is usually obtained from granulated sugar, increasing the number of processes involved as well as energy required. From the economic analysis, it was found that the liquid sugar costs 5.6 times more than the packaged sugar. Socially, the customers received the switch positively but poorer nutrition associated with the liquid sugars raises the issue of health risks such as obesity and possibly diabetes.

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study the possibilities of spontaneous CP violation in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with an extra singlet tadpole term in the scalar potential. We calculate the Higgs boson masses and couplings with radiative corrections including dominant two loop terms. We show that it is possible to satisfy the LEP constraints on the Higgs boson spectrum with non-trivial spontaneous CP violating phases. We also show that these phases could account for the observed value of epsilonK.

description: Frederick James Felton was the grandfather of the contributor's late partner, Clive William Frederick Hicks, who lived in Minehead and Five Bells.

Not much is known about Frederick. He died during the war and never got to meet his daughter, Lavinia Frederica Felton, who was born on 10th September 1917. His daughter's middle name was a way of her connecting with her father we presume.

Nothing is known of the regiment he was in nor the actual date of his death or where it occurred. Two photos were brought in. One was a family photo and Frederick James Felton is on the right in the photo.
RiverFuzzRL - an open-source tool to experiment with reinforcement learning for fuzzing

description: Abstract—Combining fuzzing techniques and reinforcement
 learning could be an important direction in software testing.
 However, there is a gap in support for experimentation in
 this field, as there are no open-source tools to let academia
 and industry to perform experiments easily. The purpose of
 this paper is to fill this gap by introducing a new framework,
 named RiverFuzzRL, on top of our already mature frame-
 work for AI-guided fuzzing, River. We provide out-of-the-box
 implementations for users to choose from or customize for their
 test target. The work presented here is performed on testing
 binaries and does not require access to the source code, but it
 can be easily adapted to other types of software testing as well.
 We also discuss the challenges faced, opportunities, and factors
 that are important for performance, as seen in the evaluation.

description: Henry John Weeden was born 28th December 1885 in Greenwich to William Henry and Annie Weeden. William was a bricklayer. He was the eldest of 12 brothers and sisters.

Before the war Henry was a painter and decorator. His mother died in 1908 and he appears to have lived with his paternal grandmother for a while before enlisting in the Army and being posted to India. He returned to the UK at the outbreak of the war. He had a cross which was his mother's (she was a Catholic).

He was injured 3 times, the first in 1915. It was while recovering in Hastings that he met his future wife, Rosina Philpot, who was working as a Voluntary Nurse. He returned to France where he was injured a further 2 times: he was gassed, then later he buried in a tunnel and hit in the head with shrapnel.

He was transferred from the Royal Flying Corps to the Royal Air Force on 1st April 1918. On 1st April 1919 Harry was transferred back to the Army.
He was a Gunner in the Royal Field Artillery regimental number 115378, a Sapper in the Royal Engineers regimental number 254160, the Royal Airforce service number 148766.

Henry had 22 operations on his head. He suffered pain all his life and turned to drink to forget. He also served in Ireland, which is where his mother Annie was from, but the contributor is unsure when this was but has a photograph of him while there on service.

In 1939 he was a general labourer living in a lodging house in Deptford.
Henry died on his own on 15th May 1947; he and Rosina separated during the Second World War.
