description: Tensor network theory and quantum simulation are respectively the key classical and quantum computing methods in understanding quantum many-body physics. Here, we introduce the framework of hybrid tensor networks with building blocks consisting of measurable quantum states and classically contractable tensors, inheriting both their distinct features in efficient representation of many-body wave functions. With the example of hybrid tree tensor networks, we demonstrate efficient quantum simulation using a quantum computer whose size is significantly smaller than the one of the target system. We numerically benchmark our method for finding the ground state of 1D and 2D spin systems of up to $8\times 8$ and $9\times 8$ qubits with operations only acting on $8+1$ and $9+1$ qubits,~respectively. Our approach sheds light on simulation of large practical problems with intermediate-scale quantum computers, with potential applications in chemistry, quantum many-body physics, quantum field theory, and quantum gravity thought experiments.

description: The sustainability of natural resource management depends not only on appropriate technology and prices, but also upon the institutions involved in resource management at the local level. Heavy state involvement in natural resource management has been justified based on the prevalence of market failures, notably the positive and negative externalities and the strategic importance of the resources. Policies of devolving management responsibility from the state to users have become increasingly widespread in response to the performance deficiencies of government agencies, the fiscal crisis of the state, and broader policies of decentralization. The success of these policies depends upon the local capacity for collective action, but the factors that encourage or inhibit the collective action are insufficiently understood. This discussion paper aims to identify factors which condition local organization for resource management. It draws upon a review of two major bodies of literature: empirical analyses of forestry, fisheries, grazing, and irrigation management, and game theory literature. The empirical literature on resource management highlights the physical and technical characteristics of the resource, the characteristics of the group of users, and the attributes of institutional arrangements as key factors affecting the management capacity of local organizations. Simplistic game theory has often been used to predict a "tragedy of the commons" for natural resources, but more refined versions provide insights into the role of communication, group size, time horizons, trust, and social norms in supporting collective action. The evidence on voluntary organization indicates that collective management is often a viable alternative to nationalization or privatization of natural resources. Although local organizations will not be able to solve every collective action problem, in many situations they could be at least as effective as other management agencies. Knowledge of the factors which condition local organization should be used to develop policies to support local organizations for natural resource management.

description: We address the formation and propagation of multi-spot soliton packets in saturable Kerr nonlinear media with an imprinted harmonic transverse modulation of the refractive index. We show that, in sharp contrast to homogeneous media where stable multi-peaked solitons do not exist, the photonic lattices support stable higher-order structures in the form of soliton packets, or soliton trains. Intuitively, such trains can be viewed as made of several lowest order solitons bound together with appropriate relative phases and their existence as stable objects puts forward the concept of compact manipulation of several solitons as a single entity.

description: In its application to the modeling of a mineral separation process, we propose the numerical analysis of the Cahn-Hilliard equation by employing spacetime discretizations of the automatic variationally stable finite element (AVS-FE) method. The AVS-FE method is a Petrov-Galerkin method which employs the concept of optimal discontinuous test functions of the discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) method by Demkowicz and Gopalakrishnan. The trial space, however, consists of globally continuous Hilbert spaces such as H1 and H(div). Hence, the AVS-FE approximations employ classical C0 or Raviart-Thomas FE basis functions. The optimal test functions guarantee the numerical stability of the AVS-FE method and lead to discrete systems that are symmetric and positive definite. Hence, the AVS-FE method can solve the Cahn-Hilliard equation in both space and time without a restrictive CFL condition to dictate the space-time element size. We present numerical verifications of both one and two dimensional problems in space. The verifications show optimal rates of convergence in L2 and H1 norms. Results for mesh adaptive refinements using a built-in error estimator of the AVS-FE method are also presented.
High Galactic latitude polarized emission at 1.4 GHz and implications for cosmic microwave background observations

description: We analyse the polarized emission at 1.4 GHz in a 3x3 deg^2 area at high Galactic latitude (b ~ -40deg). The region, centred in (RA=5h, Dec=-49deg), was observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array radio-interferometer, whose 3-30 arcmin angular sensitivity range allows the study of scales appropriate for CMB Polarization (CMBP) investigations. The angular behavior of the diffuse emission is analysed through the E- and B-mode power spectra. These follow a power law $C^X_l \propto l^{β_X}$ with slopes β_E = -1.97 \pm 0.08 and β_B = -1.98 \pm 0.07. The emission is found to be about a factor 25 fainter than in Galactic plane regions. The comparison of the power spectra with other surveys indicates that this area is intermediate between strong and negligible Faraday rotation effects. A similar conclusion can be reached by analysing both the frequency and Galactic latitude behaviors of the diffuse Galactic emission of the 408-1411 MHz Leiden survey data. We present an analysis of the Faraday rotation effects on the polarized power spectra, and find that the observed power spectra can be enhanced by a transfer of power from large to small angular scales. The extrapolation of the spectra to 32 and 90GHz of the CMB window suggests that Galactic synchrotron emission leaves the CMBP E-mode uncontaminated at 32GHz. The level of the contamination at 90GHz is expected to be more than 4 orders of magnitude below the CMBP spectrum. Extrapolating to the relevant angular scales, this region also appears adequate for investigation of the CMBP B-modes for models with tensor/scalar fluctuation power ratio T/S>0.01. We also identify polarized point sources in the field, providing a 9 object list which is complete down to the polarized flux limit of S^p_lim = 2 mJy.

description: Report Introduction: Agricultural commodity assistance, primarily under Public Law 480, has been an important form of assistance to the developing countries for a number of years. The United States is the principal supplier of food aid, but other donor nations are giving increasing attention to the food problems of less-developed countries and to means of helping them to meet their food needs and develop their agriculture. The 16 donor countries of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) gave major consideration to this issue at the Fifth Annual Meeting, in July 1966, to evaluate the effectiveness of donor aid programs. This article reviews recent trends in P.L. 480 assistance in relation to other types of agricultural and economic assistance from bilateral and multilateral sources. It also relates the magnitude of economic assistance programs of donor countries to their national incomes and appraises trends in the foreign economic assistance programs of the United States and other donor countries.

description: Recent international practice of the European Union features a certain attention to the need to protect European citizens whose interests have been affected by a breach of international law by a third State. Strikingly, this practice seems to find a more solid basis in international law than in EU law. This Article explores the actions performed by the European Union through the lens of customary international law on diplomatic protection. It aims at ascertaining whether these actions prompted a development of international law which entails that, in force of the European citizenship, the Union is entitled to protect its citizens.

description: This paper presents an approach to reconciling household surveys and national accounts data that starts from the assumption that the macro data represent control totals to which the household data must be reconciled, but the macro aggregates may be measured with error. The economic data gathered in the household survey are assumed to be accurate, or have been adjusted to be accurate. Given these assumptions, the problem is how to use the additional information provided by the national accounts data to re-estimate the household weights used in the survey so that the survey results are consistent with the aggregate data, while simultaneously estimating the errors in the aggregates. The estimation approach represents an efficient “information processing rule” using an estimation criterion based on an entropy measure of information. The survey household weights are treated as a prior. New weights are estimated that are close to the prior using a cross-entropy metric and that are also consistent with the additional information. This approach is implemented to reconcile household survey data and macro data for Madagascar. The results indicate that the approach is powerful and flexible, supporting the efficient use of information from a variety of sources to reconcile data at different levels of aggregation in a consistent framework.

description: In the software development process, model transformation is increasingly assimilated. However, systems being developed with model transformation sometimes grow in size and become complex. Meanwhile, the performance of model transformation tends to decrease. Hence, performance is an important quality of model transformation. According to current research model transformation performance focuses on optimising the engines internally. However, there exists no research activities to support transformation engineer to identify performance bottleneck in the transformation rules and hence, to predict the overall performance. In this paper we vision our aim at providing an approach of monitoring and profiling to identify the root cause of performance issues in the transformation rules and to predict the performance of model transformation. This will enable software engineers to systematically identify performance issues as well as predict the performance of model transformation.

description: Predictive services nowadays play an important role across all business sectors. However, deployed machine learning models are challenged by changing data streams over time which is described as concept drift. Prediction quality of models can be largely influenced by this phenomenon. Therefore, concept drift is usually handled by retraining of the model. However, current research lacks a recommendation which data should be selected for the retraining of the machine learning model. Therefore, we systematically analyze different data selection strategies in this work. Subsequently, we instantiate our findings on a use case in process mining which is strongly affected by concept drift. We can show that we can improve accuracy from 0.5400 to 0.7010 with concept drift handling. Furthermore, we depict the effects of the different data selection strategies.

description: We introduce an axiomatic approach to entropies and relative entropies that relies only on minimal information-theoretic axioms, namely monotonicity under mixing and data-processing as well as additivity for product distributions. We find that these axioms induce sufficient structure to establish continuity in the interior of the probability simplex and meaningful upper and lower bounds, e.g., we find that every relative entropy must lie between the Rényi divergences of order $0$ and $\infty$. We further show simple conditions for positive definiteness of such relative entropies and a characterisation in term of a variant of relative trumping. Our main result is a one-to-one correspondence between entropies and relative entropies.
Characterization of mammalian Asx-like genes and role of Asx-like-1 in development and hematopoiesis
Creators: name: Fisher, Cynthia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Polycomb Group (PcG) chromatin regulatory proteins maintain repression of Hox genes during development, leading to posterior homeotic transformations in the absence of gene product. Conversely, trithorax Group (trxG) proteins maintain activation of Hox genes and trxG null mutants exhibit anterior transformations. Mutations in some PcG genes, termed Enhancers of trx and Pc (ETP), enhance both trxG and PcG gene mutations, result in both posterior and anterior transformations and mediate both silencing and activation of Hox genes. The Additional sex combs (Asx) gene of Drosophila belongs to the ETP group. I have identified and characterized three mammalian orthologues of Asx in mice and humans, named Asx-like-1, Asx-like-2, and Asx-like-3. Primary sequence conservation between ASX and mammalian ASX-like proteins is limited to an N-terminal nuclear receptor binding motif containing region (termed the ASXH domain), and a C-terminal region containing a PHD zinc finger that mediates interaction with the SET domain of the TRITHORAX/MLL protein in Drosophila and mammals respectively. Murine Asxl1 and Asxl2 are expressed ubiquitously in adult tissues and undifferentiated embryonic stem (ES) cells. Asxl1 is expressed selectively in hematopoietic cells. To assess the role of Asxl1 in mouse development and hematopoiesis, I generated Asxl1 deficient mice by targeted mutagenesis of ES cells. Homozygous Asxl1-/- mice exhibit partial perinatal lethality. Surviving adult Asxl1-/- mice fail to thrive, and exhibit cell autonomous reductions in thymopoiesis and B-cell differentiation whereas myeloid lineage differentiation is largely unaffected. Asxl1-/- newborn mice show bidirectional homeotic transformations of the axial skeleton, indicating that Asxl1 is a true functional homologue of Asx. To determine if Asxl1 is a conserved murine ETP gene, I generated compound mutants for Asxl1 and the PcG gene M33, a homologue of the Polycomb gene in Drosophila. Compound Asxl1;M33 mutants exhibit enhanced lethality, and more severe and highly penetrant axial skeletal homeotic transformations as compared to single Asxl1 and M33 mutants. These results are consistent with classification of Asxl1 as the first described ETP gene in mice. Further analysis of the mammalian Asx-like gene family will provide insight into the interacting regulatory mechanisms governing maintenance of gene expression states through cell differentiation and development.

description: We study the structure of jets in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies using \textsc{Pythia} 8 Monte Carlo simulations. We demonstrate that the radial jet profiles exhibit scaling properties with charged-hadron event multiplicity over a broad transverse-momentum range. We also provide parametrizations of the jet profiles based on different statistically-motivated analytical distributions. Based on this we propose that the scaling behavior stems from fundamental statistical properties of jet fragmentation.

description: Data collected with Polrad swept frequency analyzer during almost 2.5 years of Interball-2 mission are used to investigate the directivity properties of AKR observed in the Northern Hemisphere. In contrast with the previous, mostly statistical studies, single dynamic spectra have been analyzed. Simple modeling of AKR source visibility from the location of the observer makes possible to find approximate locations of remotely observed radiation sources and to model the overall form of the dynamic spectrum with a single set of geometric parameters valid during up to tens of minutes. Cases of filled and partially filled emission cones are found as well as smaller emission cones embedded in the main cone. Anisotropic AKR beams aligned with subcones as thin as 10 degrees and sometimes narrower have been detected.

description: This paper documents the construction of the 1995 Social Accounting Matrix for Zambia (ZAMSAM). The SAM incorporates economy-wide data in a consistent framework and provides the benchmark data for the analysis under the MERRISA project. Data sources include national accounts data, government budgets, balance of payments statistics, trade data, household surveys, and farm budgets. The SAM construction can be divided into three steps: First, a highly aggregated SAM (macro SAM) is constructed. It represents the macroeconomic framework of the Zambian economy. Second, the macro SAM is disaggregated into a micro SAM with the macro SAM entries serving as control totals for various sub-matrices of the micro SAM. Due to data insufficiencies, the first micro SAM obtained from raw data is highly unbalanced. Thus, in a third step and after some prior adjustments, a cross-entropy approach is applied to balance the first micro SAM and generate the final estimated SAM. The result is a consistent and balanced SAM for Zambia in 1995 that comprises 28 activities, 27 commodities, 6 factors of production (4 labor categories, 1 capital, and 1 land account), 4 household types, and one account each for enterprises, government, rest-of-the-world, and investment/savings. Special features of the Zambian micro SAM include its focus on agriculture (13 agricultural commodities), the consideration of non-monetary, own-household consumption, and the separation of marketing margins on domestic products, exports, and imports.

description: The running coupling and the Kugo-Ojima parameter of unquenched lattice Landau gauge are simulated and compared with the continuum theory. Presence of infrared fixed point of $α_0\sim 2-2.5$ irrespective of the fermion actions (Wilson fermions and Kogut-Susskind(KS) fermions) in the continuum and in the chiral limit is suggested. Although there exists dependence on the polarization due to asymmetry of the lattice (time axis is longer than spacial axes), the Kugo-Ojima parameter $c$ is consistent with 1. Presence of $1+c_1/q^2$ correction factor in the running coupling depends on the lattice size and the sea quark mass. In the large lattice size and small sea quark mass, $c_1\sim 2.8$GeV is confirmed. The MILC configuration of $a=0.09$fm suggests also presence of dimension 4 condensates with sign opposite to the dimension 2 condensates. The gluon propagator, the ghost propagator and the running coupling are compared with recent pQCD results including anomalous dimension of fields up to the 4-loop level.

description: From Milton Friedman to Adam Smith, capitalism has been built under principles of self-interest, profits maximization, and “recipes for success”. This paradigm has created a lot of pain and disbelief, as well as serious economic, social and environmental consequences. However, there are some firms that have crystallized the idea of a new way of doing business. During this Academic Research Project, I provided some answers to the question: What are those companies and attributes that are transcending the ordinary organizational model paradigm? I present 26 different companies that are disrupting the way and intention of doing business while thriving within the old system. These companies were classified under a Holistic Business Framework and an analysis of their disrupting attributes is presented. These and many more examples are exhibiting different characteristics towards a more purposeful and conscious organizational model. There is a change in the business world, a social transformation of capitalism is underway. And I’m part of this wave, of this co-creation.
An algorithm for the periodicity of deformed preprojective algebras of Dynkin types $\mathbb{E}_6$, $\mathbb{E}_7$ and $\mathbb{E}_8$

description: We construct a numeric algorithm for completing the proof of a conjecture asserting that all deformed preprojective algebras of generalized Dynkin type are periodic. In particular, we obtain an algorithmic procedure showing that non-trivial deformed preprojective algebras of Dynkin types $\mathbb{E}_7$ and $\mathbb{E}_8$ exist only in characteristic 2. As a consequence, we show that deformed preprojective algebras of Dynkin types $\mathbb{E}_6$, $\mathbb{E}_7$ and $\mathbb{E}_8$ are periodic and we obtain an algorithm for a classification of such algebras, up to algebra isomorphism. We do it by a reduction of the conjecture to a solution of a system of equations associated with the problem of the existence of a suitable algebra isomorphism $φ_f: P^f(\mathbb{E}_n) \to P(\mathbb{E}_n)$ described in Theorem 2.1. One also shows that our algorithmic approach to the conjecture is also applicable to the classification of the mesh algebras of generalized Dynkin type.

description: We present an open-source platform to aid medical dosimetrists in preventing collisions between gantry head and patient or couch during photon or particle beam therapy treatment planning. This generic framework uses the native scripting interface of the particular planning software to import STL files of the treatment machine elements. These are visualized in 3D together with the contoured or scanned patient surface. A graphical dialog with sliders allows the interactive rotation of the gantry and couch, with real-time feedback. To prevent a future replanning, treatment planners can assess in advance and exclude beam angles resulting in a potential risk of collision. The software platform is publicly available on GitHub and has been validated for RayStation with actual patient plans. Furthermore, the incorporation of the complete patient geometry was tested with a 3D surface scan of a full-body phantom performed with a handheld smartphone. With this study, we aim at minimizing the risk of replanning due to collisions and thus of treatment delays and unscheduled consumption of manpower. The clinical workflow can be streamlined at no cost already at the treatment planning stage. By ensuring a real-time verification of the plan feasibility, the script might boost the use of optimal couch angles that a planner might shy away from otherwise.

description: We study the properties of the level statistics of 1D disordered systems with long-range spatial correlations. We find a threshold value in the degree of correlations below which in the limit of large system size the level statistics follows a Poisson distribution (as expected for 1D uncorrelated disordered systems), and above which the level statistics is described by a new class of distribution functions. At the threshold, we find that with increasing system size the standard deviation of the function describing the level statistics converges to the standard deviation of the Poissonian distribution as a power law. Above the threshold we find that the level statistics is characterized by different functional forms for different degrees of correlations.

B cell antigen receptor signalling : regulation and targets of the P13K/AKT pathway
Creators: name: Christian, Sherri Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The B cell receptor (BCR) is a major regulator of B cell development, activation, and cell death. The misregulation of these processes results in autoimmunity and B cell lymphoma. Engagement of the BCR activates multiple signalling pathways that are essential for normal B cell responses. However, the roles of individual signalling pathways in mediating these responses is not completely understood. Activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is important for the proper regulation of B cell survival and development. In this thesis I have investigated the regulation and targets of the PI3K pathway in B cells. A putative target of the PI3K pathway is β-catenin, a transcriptional activator with important roles in early development. I found that the BCR regulates β-catenin levels via the activation of the phospholipase-C/protein kinase C/glycogen synthase kinase-3 pathway and is partially dependent on PI3K. Signalling by the BCR also activates the Rap GTPases, putative antagonists of Ras-mediated signalling. Ras can activate both the Raf-1/ERK 1/21/2 pathway and the PI3K/Akt pathway, pathways that can promote cell survival. I investigated whether Rap activation limits the activation of either of these pathways. I found that Rap activation had no effect on the BCR-induced activation of the Raf-1/ERK1/21/2 pathway. However, endogenous Rap limited the BCRinduced activation of the POK/Akt pathway, opposed the Akt-mediated inhibition of the FKHR/p27[sup Kip1] pro-apoptotic module, and enhanced cell death. Therefore, Rap can oppose the pro-survival role of the PI3K pathway. BCR-induced activation of the PI3K effector Akt leads to changes in gene transcription through the Akt-mediated activation or inhibition of transcription factors which can promote cell survival. I used cDNA microarray technology to identify novel gene targets of Akt in B cells. I found that Akt activation resulted in changes in expression of genes involved in the regulation of cell cycle progression, cell adhesion and apoptosis. In summary, I have identified novel targets and novel mechanisms of regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway in B cells. This work will hopefully contribute to the overall understanding of how the PI3K pathway affects the regulation of B cell development, activation, and survival.

description: Supersymmetric quantum Hall liquids are constructed on a noncommutative superplane. We explore a supersymmetric formalism of the Landau problem. In the lowest Landau level, there appear spin-less bosonic states and spin-1/2 down fermionic states, which exhibit a super-chiral property. It is shown the Laughlin wavefunction and topological excitations have their superpartners. Similarities between supersymmetric quantum Hall systems and bilayer quantum Hall systems are discussed.

description: Electronic and phononic thermal conductivity are involved in the thermal conduction for metals and Wiedemann-Franz law is usually employed to predict them separately. However, Wiedemann-Franz law is shown to be invalid at intermediate temperatures. Here, to obtain the accurate thermal conductivity and Lorenz ratio for metals, the momentum relaxation time is used for electrical conductivity and energy relaxation time for electronic thermal conductivity. The mode-level first-principles calculation is conducted on two representative metals copper and aluminum. It is shown that the method can correctly predict electrical transport coefficients from 6 to 300 K. Also, the anomalous Lorenz ratio is observed within the present scheme, which has significant departure from the Sommerfeld value. The calculation scheme can be expanded to other metallic systems and is valuable in a better understanding of the electron dynamics and transport properties of metals.
Granular gases: dynamics and collective effects

description: We present a biased review of some of the most "spectacular" effects appearing in the dynamics of granular gases where the dissipative nature of the collisions leads to a rich phenomenology, exhibiting striking differences with equilibrium gases. Among these differences, the focus here is on the illustrative examples of ``Maxwell Demon''-like experiment, modification of Fourier's law, non-equipartition of energy and non-Gaussianity of the velocity distributions. The presentation remains as non technical as possible.

description: We focus on regulations controlling the spread of noxious weeds, especially the trade effects of regulatory differences across U.S. states. We specify a gravity model for each state’s seed, nursery product, and commodity trade with each other state. Within the gravity model, we examine the role of cross-state regulatory congruence arising from ecological and agronomic characteristics and interest-group lobbying. A spatial-autoregressive Tobit model is estimated with a modified expectation-maximization algorithm. Results show that weed regulatory congruence positively affects interstate trade. By fostering cross-state regulatory differences, consumer and commodity-producer lobbying reduce the value of interstate trade by about two percent per annum.

description: With agriculture occupying approximately sixty per cent of Australia’s land surface, policy makers, scientists and land managers are becoming increasingly interested in opportunities to sequester greenhouse emissions through land use change. The announcement of the Labor Government’s Carbon Farming Initiative brings Australian agriculture a step closer to participating in recognised domestic and international climate change mitigation action. In this paper, the costs and opportunities for carbon sequestration options under the Carbon Farming Initiative are assessed. The following section discusses the substantial hidden costs that may be associated with an offset trading scheme and potential for these costs to substantially shrink the size of the market. The paper concludes by presenting some potential solutions to the challenges raised and identifies some critical questions for policy makers.

The report includes brief sol-by-sol notes—written as the mission unfolded—regarding how the MAHLI instrument was used and significant events that occurred which impacted the MAHLI instrument or investigation. The document, further, contains information regarding range and scale (camera working distance and scale of in-focus elements of an image); the parent images, range, and scale information associated with each MAHLI focus merge product created onboard the instrument; and a description of the purpose and intent behind acquisition of each MAHLI image and creation of each onboard focus merge product. The MSL science team and rover engineers routinely used the information contained in this report during the course of the mission for tactical planning, strategic planning, and scientific analysis.
Determinants of the Choice of Agricultural Tenancy Contracts in Rural Bangladesh

Subjects: Farm Management

description: Participation in the informal land market by farmers is always common in land scarce rural Bangladesh in response to failure of implementation of administratively based land reform system to meet increasing demand for cultivable land and to minimize discrepancy in distribution of factors at the farm level. The objective of the present study is to jointly determine the socio-economic factors underlying decision to lease-in or lease-out land and conditional on these decisions, tenant-land lord's choice of accepting and offering of share versus fixed rent contracts in rural Bangladesh agriculture. The focus is on the risk averseness and moral hazard problem for tenant land lord respectively. An empirical model of contract choice for both parties (tenants and land lords) is compared against a data set from a sample survey of IRRI and finds a mixed evidence of risk averseness among tenants and moral hazard problem among land lords. However, we find attributes of the land lord plays more important part to offer either a sharecropping contract or fixed rent contract than tenant's attributes to choose a contract between two alternatives. This indicates a monopoly power of land lords in Bangladesh in the informal tenancy market.
