description: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration publishes separate Traffic Safety Fact Sheets annually titled Pedestrians and titled Bicyclists and Other Cyclists. The most recently published Traffic Safety Fact Sheets contain 2015 data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and were published in 2017 (DOT HS 812 375 and DOT HS 812 382). This Research Note presents fatality and injury data regarding both pedestrians and bicyclists in a single document, and identifies similarities and differences between these two types of non-motorist road users. The first section (Fatality Trend Data From 1980 to 2015) examines long-term trends for both pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities over a period of 35 years, from 1980 to 2015. It focuses especially on fatality numbers and percentages, gender and age, and considers changes that have taken place over time. The second section (Fatalities in 2010 to 2015 combined) examines selected characteristics of both pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities, based on a recent “snapshot.” The characteristics include land use (urban or rural), hours of the day, light conditions, month of the year, day of the week, location, and non-motorist actions prior to the crash. These analyses use combined data over a 6-year period, 2010 to 2015. These two sections use data from FARS. The third section (Analysis of Speed Based on Fatalities and Injuries in 2010 to 2015 combined) focuses on pedestrian and bicyclist safety issues not previously included in NHTSA Traffic Safety Fact Sheets. These issues include posted speed limits on roadways where fatal and non-fatal injury crashes took place, and the involvement of speeding (driving over the posted speed limit or driving too fast for conditions). These issues have great relevance to recent efforts in the United States and around the world in setting goals consistent with Vision Zero, described below. This section uses data from FARS and the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) General Estimates System (GES).
Radially Polarized Conical Beam from an Embedded Etched Fiber
Creators: name: Kalaidji, Djamel

Publisher: name: arXiv

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a method for producing a conical beam based on the lateral refraction of the TM01 mode from a two-mode fiber after chemical etching of the cladding, and for controlling its radial polarization. The whole power of the guided mode is transferred to the refracted beam with low diffraction. Polarization control by a series of azimuthal detectors and a stress controller affords the transmission of a stabilized radial polarization through an optical fiber. A solid component usable for many applications has been obtained.
Scaling Limits in Models of Statistical Mechanics
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: Zürich : EMS Publ. House
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: This has been the third workshop around Statistical Mechanics organized in the last 6 years. The main topic consisted of spatial random processes and their connections to statistical mechanics. The common underlying theme of the subjects discussed at the meeting is the existence of a scaling limit, i.e., a continuum object that approximates the discrete one under study at sufficiently large spatial scales. The specific topics that have been discussed included two-dimensional and high-dimensional critical models, random graphs and various random geometric problems, such as random interlacements, polymers, etc. The workshop bolstered interactions between groups of researchers in these areas and led to interesting and fruitful exchanges of ideas.

description: The Oberwolfach conference “Topologie” is one of the few occasions where researchers from many different areas in algebraic and geometric topology are able to meet and exchange ideas. Accordingly, the program covered a wide range of new developments in such fields as classification of manifolds, isomorphism conjectures, geometric topology, and homotopy theory. More specifically, we discussed progress on problems such as the Farrell-Jones conjecture, higher dimensional analogues of Harer’s homological stability of automorphism groups of manifolds and new algebraic concepts for equivariant spectra, to mention just a few subjects. One of the highlights was a series of four talks on new methods and results about the Farrell-Jones conjecture by Arthur Bartels and Wolfgang Lück.

Past horizons in Robinson-Trautman spacetimes with a cosmological constant

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We study past horizons in the class of type II Robinson-Trautman vacuum spacetimes with a cosmological constant. These exact radiative solutions of Einstein's equations exist in the future of any sufficiently smooth initial data, and they approach the corresponding spherically symmetric Schwarzschild-(anti-)de Sitter metric. By analytic methods we investigate the existence, uniqueness, location and character of the past horizons in these spacetimes. In particular, we generalize the Penrose-Tod equation for marginally trapped surfaces, which form such white-hole horizons, to the case of a nonvanishing cosmological constant, we analyze behavior of its solutions and visualize their evolutions. We also prove that these horizons are explicit examples of an outer trapping horizon and a dynamical horizon, so that they are spacelike past outer horizons.

How large can the electron to proton mass ratio be in Particle-In-Cell simulations of unstable systems?

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are widely used as a tool to investigate instabilities that develop between a collisionless plasma and beams of charged particles. However, even on contemporary supercomputers, it is not always possible to resolve the ion dynamics in more than one spatial dimension with such simulations. The ion mass is thus reduced below 1836 electron masses, which can affect the plasma dynamics during the initial exponential growth phase of the instability and during the subsequent nonlinear saturation. The goal of this article is to assess how far the electron to ion mass ratio can be increased, without changing qualitatively the physics. It is first demonstrated that there can be no exact similarity law, which balances a change of the mass ratio with that of another plasma parameter, leaving the physics unchanged. Restricting then the analysis to the linear phase, a criterion allowing to define a maximum ratio is explicated in terms of the hierarchy of the linear unstable modes. The criterion is applied to the case of a relativistic electron beam crossing an unmagnetized electron-ion plasma.

Magnetic correlations on the full chains of Ortho-II YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.5}$

name: Hirschfeld, P. J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose that the NMR line shape on the chain Cu in the stoichiometric high-$T_c$ superconductor Ortho-II YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6.5}$ is determined by the magnetization induced on Cu near O vacancies, due to strong magnetic correlations in the chains. An unrestricted Hartree-Fock calculation of a coupled chain-plane Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor d-wave pairing interaction shows that the broadening of NMR lines is consistent with disorder-induced magnetization at low temperatures. In addition, we give a possible explanation of the anomalous bimodal line shape observed at high temperatures in terms of nonuniform Cu valence in the chains. The proximity between chains and CuO plane induces anisotropic magnetization on the planar Cu, and broadens the plane NMR lines in accordance with that of the chain lines, in agreement with experiment. We discuss implications of the model for other experiments on underdoped YBCO.

The Marshall Islands Elections of 2007/08
Creators: name: Fraenkel, Jon
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT: State, Society and Governance in Melanesia (SSGM), Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, The Australian National University
Year: 2008

description: The Republic of the Marshall Islands Presidential election of 7 January 2008 ended eight years of government under the United Democratic Party (UDP), led by Kessai Note, and brought into office a new government led by former Speaker, Litokwa Tomeing. The transition signals the end of one of the Pacific's few governments that rose to power on an explicit 'good governance' ticket, emphasising transparency, opposition to corruption and greater accountability. The election has repercussions for the American missile-defence test site on Kwajalein and for the Marshall Islands 'Compact of Free Association' with the United States. It also potentially had implications for the country's linkages with Taiwan; new President Litokwa Tomeing threatened to switch ties from Taipei to Beijing on the campaign trail prior to the election.

description: A generalized fluctuation-response relation is found for thermal systems driven out of equilibrium. Its derivation is independent of many details of the dynamics, which is only required to be first-order. The result gives a correction to the equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation theorem, in terms of the correlation between observable and excess in dynamical activity caused by the perturbation. Previous approaches to this problem are recovered and extended in a unifying scheme.

description: Recent observations as well as theoretical studies of YSO jets suggest the presence of two steady components: a disk wind type outflow needed to explain the observed high mass loss rates and a stellar wind type outflow probably accounting for the observed stellar spin down. In this framework, we construct numerical two-component jet models by properly mixing an analytical disk wind solution with a complementary analytically derived stellar outflow. Their combination is controlled by both spatial and temporal parameters, in order to address different physical conditions and time variable features. We study the temporal evolution and the interaction of the two jet components on both small and large scales. The simulations reach steady state configurations close to the initial solutions. Although time variability is not found to considerably affect the dynamics, flow fluctuations generate condensations, whose large scale structures have a strong resemblance to observed YSO jet knots.

Separation of strontium from barites and galenas for mass spectrometer analysis
Creators: name: Kalra, Ashok Kumar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis describes a simple method for the separation of strontium from an excess of barium using ion exchange techniques. This process has been applied to the separation of strontium and rubidium in barites. The resin used is Dowex-50 (200-400 mesh, hydrogen form) and the column dimensions are 1.1 by 8 cm. The column is eluted at room temperature with 1.5 M hydrochloric acid at a flow rate of approximately 1 ml/ min. Strontium and rubidium from two samples of barites were analysed using a solid-source mass spectrometer to determine strontium-87/strontium-86 ratios. The above chemical techniques have also been employed in the separation of strontium and rubidium from galenas. The concentration of strontium in one sample of galena (U.B.C. No. 1) has been determined using isotope dilution techniques. The results show an absence of strontium in the galena sample studied. Finally the common strontium ratios of two barite samples are compared with common lead ratios of associated galenas (Slawson and Austin, 1962) and a possible correlation between these ratios has been observed.
Multi-barrier resonant tunneling for the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: For the stationary one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (or Gross-Pitaevskii equation) nonlinear resonant transmission through a finite number of equidistant identical barriers is studied using a (semi-) analytical approach. In addition to the occurrence of bistable transmission peaks known from nonlinear resonant transmission through a single quantum well (respectively a double barrier) complicated (looped) structures are observed in the transmission coefficient which can be identified as the result of symmetry breaking similar to the emergence of self-trapping states in double well potentials. Furthermore it is shown that these results are well reproduced by a nonlinear oscillator model based on a small number of resonance eigenfunctions of the corresponding linear system.

description: AC susceptibility measurements have been carried out on superconducting LaO1-xFxFeAs for x=0.07 and 0.14 under He-gas pressures to about 0.8 GPa. Not only do the measured values of dTc/dP differ substantially from those obtained in previous studies using other pressure media, but the Tc(P) dependences observed depend on the detailed pressure/temperature history of the sample. A sizeable sensitivity of Tc(P) to shear stresses provides a possible explanation.

description: We present high resolution J-band spectroscopy of V 393 Sco obtained with the CRIRES at the ESO Paranal Observatory along with a discussion of archival IUE spectra and published broad band magnitudes. The best fit to the spectral energy distribution outside eclipse gives $T_{1}$= 19000 $\pm$ 500 $K$ for the gainer, $T_{2}$= 7250 $\pm$ 300 $K$ for the donor, $E(B-V)$= 0.13 $\pm$ 0.02 mag. and a distance of $d$= 523 $\pm$ 60 pc, although circumstellar material was not considered in the fit. We argue that V 393 Sco is not a member of the open cluster M7. The shape of the He I 1083 nm line shows orbital modulations that can be interpreted in terms of an optically thick pseudo-photosphere mimicking a hot B-type star and relatively large equatorial mass loss through the Lagrangian L3 point during long cycle minimum. IUE spectra show several (usually asymmetric) absorption lines from highly ionized metals and a narrow L$α$ emission core on a broad absorption profile. The overall behavior of these lines suggests the existence of a wind at intermediate latitudes. From the analysis of the radial velocities we find $M_{2}/M_{1}$= 0.24 $\pm$ 0.02 and a mass function of $f$= 4.76 $\pm$ 0.24 M$\odot$. Our observations favor equatorial mass loss rather than high latitude outflows as the cause for the long variability.

description: A coordinated network design study for Europe was performed using three different regional inversion systems for the estimation of biosphere-atmosphere exchange fluxes. Uncertainties for prior fluxes and model-data mismatch were harmonized to assure the inter-comparability of the inversion results. The prior error structure was based on a comparison of the different prior fluxes used in the inversions with eddy covariance observations. Uncertainty reductions in biosphere-atmosphere exchange fluxes were computed by the different inversion systems for the current and planned ICOS network of atmospheric stations, as well as for a hypothetic network with a gap in the area of Germany. Inversion results show a strong spatial inhomogeneity in the uncertainty reductions with typical values for seasonal fluxes around 30-50% near observing sites for the pixel scale (50 km), and around 50% for national scales. While the general level of uncertainty reduction differs between the inversion systems, the increase of uncertainty reduction with increasing number of stations per area or country is similar.

description: Modern numerical methods for hyperbolic conservation laws rely on polynomials of high degree, mostly orthogonal polynomials, on triangular or quadrilateral meshes. Due to shocks stability is an issue and modern means of filtering like spectral viscosity is required. Additional TV-filters are needed in most cases as postprocessors and the choice of the solver for the differential equations to integrate in time is crucial. The workshop was organised to bring together researchers from different areas of mathematics in order to fuel the research on high-order efficient and robust numerical methods.

description: Calculations of the relaxation energy, contact pair-correlation function, and annihilating-pair momentum density for a single positron immersed in a homogeneous electron gas are presented. We achieve an accurate description of the electron-positron correlation effects by working in the reference frame in which the positron is stationary and using a mean-field approach based on single-component density functional theory. Our positron relaxation energies and annihilation rates are similar to those from the best existing many-body calculations. Our annihilating-pair momentum densities are significantly different from previous data, and include a "tail" beyond the Fermi edge.

Comparison of long shot and earthquakes
Creators: name: Currie, Ralph Gordon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The seismic signal generated by the underground nuclear explosion, Long Shot, has been compared with seismic signals of earthquake origin and found to be similar on a regional scale. Negative Long Shot magnitude residuals are associated with areas of recent tectonic activity as are late arrivals, while positive Long Shot magnitude residuals and early arrivals have been found to be associated with tectonically stable regions. These trends are coincident with those indicated by data from other seismic events. The more detailed comparison of Long Shot and earthquake magnitude residuals at Penticton and Port St. James indicates that the Long Shot residuals also reflect the location of the source. At these stations, earthquakes with distances and azimuths comparable to Long Shot exhibit magnitude residuals that are most similar to those of Long Shot. The magnitude residuals at the University of British Columbia exhibit the same dependence on source parameters although a direct comparison with Long Shot could not be made. An examination of earthquake travel time residuals at Penticton and Fort St. James also indicates the same dependence on source location. Long Shot surface waves indicate an average unified magnitude of 5.1 at Canadian stations as compared with an average unified magnitude of 6.0 from body waves at the same stations. The comparison of the power spectra of Long Shot and earthquakes at Leduc and Victoria indicates relatively more energy at high frequencies from Long Shot than from earthquakes. This variation in spectral decrement is interpreted as an effect of the different source mechanisms. The spectrum of Long Shot at Rocky Mt. House appeared to be anomalous as it had a significantly larger spectral decrement than at the other stations and was indistinguishable from the spectra of earthquakes recorded at Rocky Mt. House. The trend of the power spectra also appear to be partially determined by the crustal and upper mantle structure in the vicinity of the station. The effect of the source parameters and travel path is also indicated by a tendency for the spectral decrement to increase with increased distance to source and with increased depth.

description: By substituting the Fe with the 5d-transition metal Ir in SrFe2As2, we have successfully synthesized the superconductor SrFe2-xIrxAs2 with Tc = 22.3 K at x = 0.5. X-ray diffraction indicates that the material has formed the ThCr2Si2-type structure with a space group I4/mmm. The temperature dependence of resistivity and dc magnetization both reveal sharp superconducting transitions at around 22 K. An estimate on the diamagnetization signal reveals a high Meissner shielding volume. Interestingly, the normal state resistivity exhibits a roughly linear behavior up to 300 K. The superconducting transitions at different magnetic fields were also measured yielding a slope of -dHc2/dT = 3.8 T/K near Tc. Using the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg (WHH) formula, the upper critical field at zero K is found to be about 58 T. Counting the possible number of electrons doped into the system in SrFe2-xIrxAs2, we argue that the superconductivity in the Ir-doped system is different from the Co-doped case, which should add more ingredients to the underlying physics of the iron pnictide superconductors.

C*-Algebras, Dynamics, and Classification
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: Zürich : EMS Publ. House
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: Classification is a central theme in mathematics, and a particularly rich one in the theory of operator algebras. Indeed, one of the first major results in the theory is Murray and von Neumann’s type classification of factors (weakly closed self-adjoint algebras of operators on Hilbert space with trivial center), and one of its modern touchstones is the mid-1970s Connes-Haagerup classification of amenable factors with separable predual. Several significant themes in the classification theory of norm-separable C -algebras have emerged since the work of Connes-Haagerup, and these were the focus of our workshop. They include Elliott’s program to classify separable nuclear C -algebras via K-theoretic invariants, the role of C -algebras in the classification of orbit equivalence relations of discrete countable group actions, and the more recent contact between descriptive set theorists and operator algebraists which seeks to quantify the Borel complexity of the isomorphism relation for various natural classes of algebras.
Generalized van der Waals theory for the twist elastic modulus and helical pitch of cholesterics

description: We present a generalized van der Waals theory for a lyotropic cholesteric system of chiral spherocylinders based on the classical Onsager theory for hard anisometric bodies. The rods consist of a hard spherocylindrical backbone surrounded with a square-well potential to account for attractive (or soft repulsive) interactions. Long-ranged chiral interactions are described by means of a simple pseudo-scalar potential which is appropriate for weak chiral forces of a predominant electrostatic origin. Based on the formalism proposed by Straley [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 14}, 1835 (1976)] we derive explicit algebraic expressions for the twist elastic modulus and the cholesteric pitch for rods as a function of density and temperature. The pitch varies non-monotonically with density, with a sharp decrease at low packing fractions and a marked increase at higher packing fractions. A similar trend is found for the temperature dependence. The unwinding of the helical pitch at high densities (or low temperatures) originates from a marked increase in the local nematic order and a steep increase of the twist elastic resistance associated with near-parallel local rod configurations. This contrasts with the commonly held view that the increase in pitch with decreasing temperature as often observed in cholesterics is due to layer formation resulting from pre-smectic fluctuations. The increase in pitch with increasing temperature is consistent with an entropic unwinding as the chiral interaction becomes less and less significant than the thermal energy. The variation of the pitch with density, temperature and contour length is in qualitative agreement with recent experimental results on colloidal {\em fd} rods.

Control Theory: Mathematical Perspectives on Complex Networked Systems
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: Zürich : EMS Publ. House
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: Control theory is an interdisciplinary field that is located at the crossroads of pure and applied mathematics with systems engineering and the sciences. Its range of applicability and its techniques evolve rapidly with new developments in communication systems and electronic data processing. Thus, in recent years networked control systems emerged as a new fundamental topic, which combines complex communication structures with classical control methods and requires new mathematical methods. A substantial number of contributions to this workshop was devoted to the control of networks of systems. This was complemented by a series of lectures on other current topics like fundamentals of nonlinear control systems, model reduction and identification, algorithmic aspects in control, as well as open problems in control.
Pressure-induced diamond to beta-tin transition in bulk silicon: a near-exact quantum Monte Carlo study

description: The pressure-induced structural phase transition from diamond to beta-tin in silicon is an excellent test for theoretical total energy methods. The transition pressure provides a sensitive measure of small relative energy changes between the two phases (one a semiconductor and the other a semimetal). Experimentally, the transition pressure is well characterized. Density-functional results have been unsatisfactory. Even the generally much more accurate diffusion Monte Carlo method has shown a noticeable fixed-node error. We use the recently developed phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) method to calculate the relative energy differences in the two phases. In this method, all but the error due to the phaseless constraint can be controlled systematically and driven to zero. In both structural phases we were able to benchmark the error of the phaseless constraint by carrying out exact unconstrained AFQMC calculations for small supercells. Comparison between the two shows that the systematic error in the absolute total energies due to the phaseless constraint is well within 0.5 mHa/atom. Consistent with these internal benchmarks, the transition pressure obtained by the phaseless AFQMC from large supercells is in very good agreement with experiment.

Mini-Workshop: Efficient and Robust Approximation of the Helmholtz Equation
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: Zürich : EMS Publ. House
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: The accurate and efficient treatment of wave propogation phenomena is still a challenging problem. A prototypical equation is the Helmholtz equation at high wavenumbers. For this equation, Babuška & Sauter showed in 2000 in their seminal SIAM Review paper that standard discretizations must fail in the sense that the ratio of true error and best approximation error has to grow with the frequency. This has spurred the development of alternative, non-standard discretization techniques. This workshop focused on evaluating and comparing these different approaches also with a view to their applicability to more general wave propagation problems.
Mini-Workshop: Frontiers in Quantile Regression
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: Quantiles play an essential role in modern statistics, as emphasized by the fundamental work of Parzen (1978) and Tukey (1977). Quantile regression was introduced by Koenker and Bassett (1978) as a complement to least squares estimation (LSE) or maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and leads to far-reaching extensions of ”classical” regression analysis by estimating families of conditional quantile surfaces, which describe the relation between a one-dimensional response y and a high dimensional predictor x. Since its introduction quantile regression has found great attraction in mathematical and applied statistics because of its natural interpretability and robustness, which yields attractive applications in such important areas as medicine, economics, engineering and environmental modeling. Although classical quantile regression theory is very well developed, the implicit definition of quantile regression still yields many new mathematical challenges such as multivariate, censored and longitudinal data, which were discussed during the workshop.
