description: We study eavesdropping in quantum key distribution with the six state protocol,when the signal states are mixed with white noise. This situation may arise either when Alice deliberately adds noise to the signal states before they leave her lab, or in a realistic scenario where Eve cannot replace the noisy quantum channel by a noiseless one. We find Eve's optimal mutual information with Alice, for individual attacks, as a function of the qubit error rate. Our result is that added quantum noise can make quantum key distribution more robust against eavesdropping.

Undrained response of saturated sands with emphasis on liquefaction and cyclic mobility
Creators: name: Chern, Jin-Ching
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: An experimental investigation of the undrained monotonic and cyclic loading behaviour of a saturated angular sand and a rounded sand under triaxial conditions is presented. These studies are aimed at obtaining a unified approach to the undrained behaviour of sand spanning from strain softening (termed liquefaction or limited liquefaction) to strain hardening response and linking the cyclic loading behaviour to the monotonic loading behaviour. It is also aimed at investigating the differences In undrained loading behaviour of sand with different particle angularity. Under monotonic loading, the strain softening response is initiated and terminated at two distinct values of effective stress ratio termed critical effective stress ratio state (CSR) and phase transformation state (PT), regardless of the relative density and consolidation stress conditions. For strain hardening response, the start of dilation also occurs at the same effective stress ratio of PT for strain softening response. It is shown that the unique steady state line concept for liquefaction is also valid for limited liquefaction. The PT states for strain hardening response, however, form a series of lines, which are function of Initial void ratio, merging into the unique steady state line as the consolidation stresses increase. A 3-D effective stress state behavioural model is developed, which enables prediction of the anticipated undrained loading behaviour (strain softening or strain hardening) from the knowledge of the initial state of the sand. It is shown that a complete specifications of initial state of sand, i.e., void ratio, confining pressure and static shear, is required to predict the type of undrained response, especially for angular sand. Under cyclic loading, if liquefaction develops, the CSR, effective stress ratio at PT state and steady state line are the same as those observed under monotonic loading. If cyclic mobility develops, the effective stress ratio at PT state is also the same as that observed under monotonic loading. Thus, the 3-D effective stress state diagram provides a link between monotonic and cyclic loading behaviour, and is used to develop the criteria for the occurrence of liquefaction and cyclic mobility. The influences of void ratio and confining pressure on the cyclic loading behaviour are similar to those for the monotonic loading behaviour. However, the influence of static shear on cyclic loading behaviour can be completely different depending on whether liquefaction or cyclic mobility is developed. The undrained loading behaviour of rounded sand is similar to that of the angular sand. However, for the range of consolidation stresses of interest, the initial relative density alone provides a good single parameter characterizing the initial state of the sand, and hence its anticipated response.

description: In many information extraction applications, entity linking (EL) has emerged as a crucial task that allows leveraging information about named entities from a knowledge base. In this paper, we address the task of multimodal entity linking (MEL), an emerging research field in which textual and visual information is used to map an ambiguous mention to an entity in a knowledge base (KB). First, we propose a method for building a fully annotated Twitter dataset for MEL, where entities are defined in a Twitter KB. Then, we propose a model for jointly learning a representation of both mentions and entities from their textual and visual contexts. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model by evaluating it on the proposed dataset and highlight the importance of leveraging visual information when it is available.
Non-thermal emission processes in massive binaries

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, I present a general discussion of several astrophysical processes likely to play a role in the production of non-thermal emission in massive stars, with emphasis on massive binaries. Even though the discussion will start in the radio domain where the non-thermal emission was first detected, the census of physical processes involved in the non-thermal emission from massive stars shows that many spectral domains are concerned, from the radio to the very high energies. First, the theoretical aspects of the non-thermal emission from early-type stars will be addressed. The main topics that will be discussed are respectively the physics of individual stellar winds and their interaction in binary systems, the acceleration of relativistic electrons, the magnetic field of massive stars, and finally the non-thermal emission processes relevant to the case of massive stars. Second, this general qualitative discussion will be followed by a more quantitative one, devoted to the most probable scenario where non-thermal radio emitters are massive binaries. I will show how several stellar, wind and orbital parameters can be combined in order to make some semi-quantitative predictions on the high-energy counterpart to the non-thermal emission detected in the radio domain. These theoretical considerations will be followed by a census of results obtained so far, and related to this topic... (see paper for full abstract)

An evaluation of the full displacement pressuremeter
Creators: name: O’Neill, Bruce Ernest
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The self-boring pressuremeter which is inserted into the ground without disturbing the surrounding soil has two drawbacks. Skilled operators are needed to insert the probe into the ground without disturbing the soil, and the self-boring process requires a jetting action or a rotating cutter and drilling mud. One method of simplifying the pressuremeter installation procedure is to install the probe in a full displacement manner. A solid tip is placed oh the end of the probe and then the pressuremeter is pushed into the ground in the same manner as a cone penetrometer. This research project was performed to examine the suitability of using the full displacement pressuremeter for determining shear modulus, insitu horizontal stresses, and undrained shear strength. The variables examined were; the type of pressuremeter, whether the pressuremeter was run in a stress or a strain controlled manner, the size of the tip pushed in front of the pressuremeter, and whether time was allowed for the dynamic pore pressures to dissipate. Tests were conducted in sand, silt, and clay. When the shear moduli measured with the full displacement pressuremeter were adjusted to account for the differences in strain level, and mean effective stress they compared very well with the dynamic shear moduli measured with the seismic cone. The attempts to determine the insitu horizontal stress by examining the liftoff pressure were unsuccessful. The undrained shear strengths of clay determined using cavity expansion theory compared very well with undrained shear strengths determined using the field vane.

description: Small-scale affordable extruders create new opportunities for small enterprise food processors to manufacture nutritionally enhanced products. Still, consumer interest in these products needs to be assessed first. Affective tests with 296 consumers in Dakar, Senegal, evaluated five pearl millet flours: (a) conventional, compared to four instant-porridge flour products; (b) sifted; (c) wholegrain; (d) sifted with premix; (e) wholegrain with micronutrient premix and food-to-food fortified (FtFF). Willingness-to-pay (WTP) was elicited through experimental auctions under two treatments: firstly without information, then with information. Consumers liked FtFF (taste, aroma, appearance) but were indifferent to instant. They did not appreciate wholegrain flour (appearance) or premix (appearance, aroma and taste). Without information, consumers showed no differences in WTP. With information, consumers paid premiums for FtFF (27-30%) (both treatments), and premix (17%), instant (9%), and wholegrain (-10%) (one treatment). Costs of instant, wholegrain and premix products were lower than consumers’ WTP, indicating potential profits, but not those of FtFF. There is a market for instant cereals in Senegal. Consumers require product information in order to compromise on some attributes to benefit from instant, fortified and wholegrain pearl millet products. Manufacture would be cost-effective, but FtFF costs need to be reduced.

description: These notes develop aspects of perturbation theory of matrices related to so-called diagonalisation schemes. Primary focus is on constructive tools to derive asymptotic expansions for small/large parameters of eigenvalues and eigenprojections of families of matrices depending upon real/complex parameters. Applications of the schemes in different frameworks --including hyperbolic polynomials, asymptotic integration of ordinary differential equations, diagonalisation within symbolic hierarchies and pseudo-differential decoupling of hyperbolic-parabolic coupled systems-- are also discussed and references to further applications given.

description: Presented at MILEX (Maryland Information Literacy Exchange) Spring 2019 Conference on Culturally Responsive Teaching
description: This session will take an assets-based approach to practical strategies for providing library instruction to L2 English-language learners in American higher education institutions. Drawing on literature from the fields of international education, language policy and development, and academic librarianship, this presentation seeks to situate our work with L2 learners within a broader global context. The session will address the spread of English as a “global language,” considering how English serves as both a barrier to and an asset in educational attainment, with an emphasis on English (and English language learning) as a global industry with economic as well as educational implications. We will also consider literature on the concept of multiple Englishes, in an attempt to connect the experiences of our L2 learners with the experiences of students whose spoken or written English does not conform to the form of academic English expected by their instructors. With this broader context in mind, participants will consider how American academic libraries are complicit in devaluing or erasing other cultural and linguistic practices, while also looking towards strategies for empowering L2 learners, equipping them for success in an American academic institution while respecting their cultural and linguistic background.

description: Baikal-GVD is a km$^3$-scale neutrino telescope being constructed in Lake Baikal. Muon and partially tau (anti)neutrino interactions near the detector through the W$^{\pm}$-boson exchange are accompanied by muon tracks. Reconstructed direction of the track is arguably the most precise probe of the neutrino direction attainable in Cerenkov neutrino telescopes. Muon reconstruction techniques adopted by Baikal-GVD are discussed in the present report. Performance of the muon reconstruction is studied using realistic Monte Carlo simulation of the detector. The algorithms are applied to real data from Baikal-GVD and the results are compared with simulations. The performance of the neutrino selection based on a boosted decision tree classifier is discussed.

description: This paper examines household purchases of peanuts and tree nuts in the United States using the Nielsen Homescan Panel for calendar year 2015. Households located in different regions and from different races and ethnicities along with seasonality were important factors affecting the propensities to purchase and actual quantities purchased. The demand for pecans, almonds, and walnuts was sensitive to price changes. The reverse was true regarding the demands for cashews, macadamia nuts, pistachios, mixed nuts, and peanuts. All nuts were identified as necessities. Findings of this research provide insights for stakeholders in the nut industry, in terms of target marketing, product positioning, and pricing strategies. Moreover, we contribute to the literature by providing a micro-perspective investigation concerning the demand for nut products in the United States. In addition, we provide a more up-to-date analysis concerning factors affecting not only the likelihood of purchasing nuts but also the quantities purchased.

description: Repeated food scandals in China have prompted growing consumer consciousness on food safety and health. Organic food, considered to be of higher quality, is being increasingly demanded by Chinese consumers. This study examines preferences for organic labels to provide insight on the sustainable development of the Oolong tea industry. Research was conducted using the choice experiment (CE) method in Fujian and Guangdong Provinces. The results demonstrate that place of origin, organic label, and brand attributes are all significant factors affecting the purchase of Oolong. Also, people demonstrated significantly positive attitudes toward organic labels and preferred Oolong tea from Fujian Province to those from Guangdong Province and Taiwan. Increasing trust can enhance consumer preference and willingness to pay (WTP) for organic labels. Contrary to previous studies, people have a higher WTP for Chinese organic labels than Japanese and American ones. This is probably because respondents are more familiar with domestic Oolong tea and trust more in Chinese organic certification. This provides an opportunity for domestic producers to tailor their organic food labels and better satisfy consumer demands. These findings suggest that the Chinese government should take more responsibility for reducing food-related fraud and thus improve consumer trust regarding organic food.

description: Content caching is a widely studied technique aimed to reduce the network load imposed by data transmission during peak time while ensuring users' quality of experience. It has been shown that when there is a common link between caches and the server, delivering contents via the coded caching scheme can significantly improve performance over conventional caching. However, finding the optimal content placement is a challenge in the case of heterogeneous users' behaviours. In this paper we consider heterogeneous number of demands and non-uniform content popularity distribution in the case of homogeneous and heterogeneous user preferences. We propose a hybrid coded-uncoded caching scheme to trade-off between popularity and diversity. We derive explicit closed-form expressions of the server load for the proposed hybrid scheme and formulate the corresponding optimization problem. Results show that the proposed hybrid caching scheme can reduce the server load significantly and outperforms the baseline pure coded and pure uncoded and previous works in the literature for both homogeneous and heterogeneous user preferences.

Namely close to the Fermi level its electronic properties are also determined ma inly by Fe 3d-orbitals of FeAs4 two-dimensional layers. Band dispersions of LiFeAs are very similar to the LaOFeAs and BaFe2As2 systems as well as the shape of the Fe-3d density o f states and Fermi surface.

description: Homography estimation is an important task in computer vision applications, such as image stitching, video stabilization, and camera calibration. Traditional homography estimation methods heavily depend on the quantity and distribution of feature correspondences, leading to poor robustness in low-texture scenes. The learning solutions, on the contrary, try to learn robust deep features but demonstrate unsatisfying performance in the scenes with low overlap rates. In this paper, we address these two problems simultaneously by designing a contextual correlation layer (CCL). The CCL can efficiently capture the long-range correlation within feature maps and can be flexibly used in a learning framework. In addition, considering that a single homography can not represent the complex spatial transformation in depth-varying images with parallax, we propose to predict multi-grid homography from global to local. Moreover, we equip our network with a depth perception capability, by introducing a novel depth-aware shape-preserved loss. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our method over state-of-the-art solutions in the synthetic benchmark dataset and real-world dataset. The codes and models will be available at https://github.com/nie-lang/Multi-Grid-Deep-Homography.

description: Agri-food companies face the challenge that clean labels and organic are not possible for some processed foods – such as shelf-stable ready meals – with existing processing technologies. This study uses data collected via an online survey and estimates consumers’ willingness to pay for the attributes organic, clean label, and processed with a new food technology in a ready meal. Based on previous literature, one would expect that consumers who prefer a clean label would also prefer a product that is certified organic. However, it was found that consumers who frequently purchase ready meals, prefer a clean label over the organic certification. Results from a latent class analysis identified three classes of consumers within the sample of respondents, the pro-organic and clean label consumer, the pro-clean label and new technology, and the indifferent consumer. The classes of consumers identified in this study, showed heterogeneous preferences towards the organic and clean label attributions, which emphasizes the need to complement the consumer preference assessment with a segmentation analysis. Our findings highlight the importance of technological innovations and the need of presenting consumers with complete information on the new food technologies to mitigate potential neophobias due to unfamiliarity.

description: The energy of a molecular graph is a popular parameter that is defined as the sum of the absolute values of a graph's eigenvalues. It is well known that the energy is related to the matching polynomial and thus also to the Hosoya index via a certain Coulson integral. Trees minimizing the energy under various additional conditions have been determined in the past, e.g., trees with a given diameter or trees with a perfect matching. However, it is quite a natural problem to minimize the energy of trees with bounded maximum degree--clearly, the case of maximum degree 4 (so-called chemical trees) is the most important one. We will show that the trees with given maximum degree that minimize the energy are the same that have been shown previously to minimize the Hosoya index and maximize the Merrifield-Simmons index, thus also proving a conjecture due to Fischermann et al. Finally, we show that the minimal energy grows linearly with the size of the trees, with explicitly computable growth constants that only depend on the maximum degree.

description: The properties of nuclei in the ``island of inversion'' (IOI) around Z=10 and N=20 are the focus of current nuclear physics research. Recent studies showed that $^{28}$F has a negative-parity ground state (g.s.) and thus lies within the southern shore of the IOI, and $^{29}$F presents a halo structure in its g.s., but it is unclear which effects, such as deformation, shell evolution due to tensor forces, or couplings to the continuum, lead to this situation. We investigate the role of quadrupole deformation and continuum effects on the single-particle (s.p.) structure of $^{28,29,31}$F from a relativistic mean-field (RMF) approach, and show how both phenomena can lead to a negative-parity g.s. in $^{28}$F and halo structures in $^{29,31}$F. We solve the Dirac equation in the complex-momentum (Berggren) representation for a potential with quadrupole deformation at the first order obtained from RMF calculations using the NL3 interaction, and calculate the continuum level densities using the Green's function method. We extract s.p. energies and widths from the continuum level densities to construct Nilsson diagrams, and analyse the evolution of both the widths and occupation probabilities of relevant Nilsson orbitals in $^{28}$F and find that some amount of prolate deformation must be present. In addition, we calculate the density distributions for bound Nilsson orbitals near the Fermi surface in $^{29,31}$F and reveal that for a quadrupole deformation $0.3 \leq β_2 \leq 0.45$ (prolate), halo tails appear at large distances. We also demonstrate that while in the spherical case the $pf$ shells are already inverted and close to the neutron emission threshold, a small amount of quadrupole deformation can reduce the gap between $fp$ shells and increase the role of the continuum, ultimately leading to the negative parity in the g.s. of $^{28}$F and the halo structures in $^{29,31}$F.

description: Neural rendering is a class of methods that use deep learning to produce novel images of scenes from more limited information than traditional rendering methods. This is useful for information scarce applications like mixed reality or semantic photo synthesis but comes at the cost of control over the final appearance. We introduce the Neural Direct-illumination Renderer (NDR), a neural screen space renderer capable of rendering direct-illumination images of any geometry, with opaque materials, under distant illuminant. The NDR uses screen space buffers describing material, geometry, and illumination as inputs to provide direct control over the output. We introduce the use of intrinsic image decomposition to allow a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to learn a mapping from a large number of pixel buffers to rendered images. The NDR predicts shading maps, which are subsequently combined with albedo maps to create a rendered image. We show that the NDR produces plausible images that can be edited by modifying the input maps and marginally outperforms the state of the art while also providing more functionality.
Effects of stress path and prestrain history on the undrained monotonic and cyclic loading behaviour of saturated sand

description: Stress path and prestrain effects on the monotonic and cyclic undrained behaviour of a saturated sand are investigated in the triaxial test. It is shown that under Identical consolidation stresses, the sand is contractive over a much larger range of relative densities in triaxial extension than in triaxial compression. The effective stress ratio at the initiation of contractive deformation (CSR) in extension is less than that in compression. During cyclic loading this feature makes the extension phase of the loading more damaging than the compression phase. The unique relationship between void ratio and undrained strength at PT state (which is similar to steady state line) noted in compression does not hold in extension. A separate relationship seems to emerge in extension for each initial void ratio and all such relationships lie to the left of the compression relationship, implying smaller PT state strengths in extension than in compression at equal void ratios. A small prestrain history (stress state staying within CSR lines during prestraining) is shown not to alter the initially liquefiable character of sand. With no strain reversal on reloading, increasing prestrain strain level between CSR and PT lines makes the sand. Strain reversal on reloading, on the other hand, causes the sand to become more contractive with increasing prestrain history and may transform an initially dilative to contractive sand.

III-V-on-silicon triple-junction based on the heterojunction bipolar transistor solar cell concept

description: We propose a new triple-junction solar cell structure composed of a III-V heterojunction bipolar transistor solar cell (HBTSC) stacked on top of, and series-connected to, a Si solar cell (III-V-HBTSC-on-Si). The HBTSC is a novel three-terminal device, whose viability has been recently experimentally demonstrated. It has the theoretical efficiency limit of an independently-connected double-junction solar cell. Here, we perform detailed balance efficiency limit calculations under one-sun illumination that show that the absolute efficiency limit of a III-V-HBTSC-on-Si device is the same as for the conventional current-matched III-V-on-Si triple-junction (47% assuming black-body spectrum, 49% with AM1.5G). However, the range of band-gap energies for which the efficiency limit is above 40% is much wider in the III-V-HBTSC-on-Si stack case. From a technological point of view, the lattice-matched GaInP/GaAs combination is particularly interesting, which has an AM1.5G efficiency limit of 47% with the HBTSC-on-Si structure and 39% if the current-matched III-V-on-Si triple junction is considered. Moreover, we show that interconnecting the terminals of the HBTSC to achieve a two-terminal GaInP/GaAs-HBTSC-on-Si device only reduces the efficiency limit by three points, to 43%. As a result, the GaInP/GaAs-HBTSC-on-Si solar cell becomes a promising device for two-terminal, high-efficiency one-sun operation. For it to also be cost-effective, low-cost technologies must be applied to the III-V material growth, such as high-throughput epitaxy or sequential growth.
