description: We study a model of associative memory based on a neural network with small-world structure. The efficacy of the network to retrieve one of the stored patterns exhibits a phase transition at a finite value of the disorder. The more ordered networks are unable to recover the patterns, and are always attracted to mixture states. Besides, for a range of the number of stored patterns, the efficacy has a maximum at an intermediate value of the disorder. We also give a statistical characterization of the attractors for all values of the disorder of the network.

Be-star rotation: how close to critical?

description: We argue that, in general, observational studies of Be-star rotation have paid insufficient attention to the effects of equatorial gravity darkening. We present new line-profile calculations that emphasize the insensitivity of line width to rotation for fast rotators. Coupled with a critical review of observational procedures, these calculations suggest that the observational parameter v sin(i) may systematically underestimate the true projected equatorial rotation velocity, ve sin(i), by some tens of per cent for rapid rotators. The crucial implication of this work is that Be stars may be rotating much closer to their critical velocities than is generally supposed, bringing a range of new processes into contention for the elusive physical mechanism responsible for the circumstellar disk thought to be central to the Be phenomenon.

description: We are developing an end-to-end training program that introduces clinician researchers to clinical database architecture and clinical coding standards, teaches them how to translate their research questions into queries that will allow them to extract data properly, and how to do so in a way that supports transparency and reproducibility while still respecting guidelines for proper data sharing. This work builds on longstanding partnerships with the Northwestern Medicine Enterprise Data Warehouse (NMEDW) through which we promote improved communication and collaboration between data analysts and clinical researchers to make them better partners in research projects. We also provide workflows for preservation and reusability of research reports through our next-generation research data management (RDM) system. Our ultimate goal is to bolster support for our local research community to use clinical research data from the NMEDW and also parlay this experience to develop a blueprint of best practice workflows that could be applied in libraries at other institutions.

description: Here the buckling of inextensible rods due to axial body forces is mapped to 1d, nonrelativistic, time-independent quantum mechanics. Focusing on the pedagogical case of rods confined to 2d, three simple and physically realizable applications of the mapping are given in detail; the quantum counterparts of these are particle in a box, particle in a delta-function well, and particle in a triangular well. A fourth application examines the buckling counterpart of a quantum many-body problem (in the Hartree approximation). Through a fifth application, given in the form of an exercise, the reader can explore the surprising consequences of adding a second transverse dimension to the rod buckling problem and imposing periodic boundary conditions.

description: Environmental and technological preferences correlate. Both are empirically accessible via established instruments such as the Two Major Environmental Value model (2-MEV) with “preservation” (PRE) and “utilization” (UTL), and the technology questionnaire with “interest in technology” (INT) and “social aspects of technology” (SOC). Additionally, “appreciation of nature” (APR) was monitored with a seven-item scale. We used these instruments to assess the preferences of freshmen in five different areas of study (law, economics, science, pedagogy, cultural studies). All subsequent analyses unveiled positive relations between appreciation and preservation, between the two technology subscales, as well as between utilization and social aspects of technology. Negative relationships appeared between preservation and utilization, preservation and both technology factors, as well as appreciation and social aspects of technology. In all subsamples, preservers (individuals with preservation preferences) showed little interest in technology or its social aspects; utilizers scored high in social aspects of technology, whereas appreciators displayed no interest in it. The freshmen’s areas of study seem to predict consistent tendencies to (biocentric) preservation or (anthropocentric) utilization. Moreover, females were more likely to preserve and appreciate nature whereas males preferred utilization along with interest in technology as well as in the social implications of technology. The observed differences can be used to develop new and improve existing educational programs; recommendations are discussed.
Evidence for Low-Dimensional Chaos in Semiregular Variable Stars

description: An analysis of the photometric observations of the light curves of the five large amplitude, irregularly pulsating stars R UMi, RS Cyg, V CVn, UX Dra and SX Her is presented. First, multi-periodicity is eliminated for these pulsations, i.e. they are not caused by the excitation of a small number of pulsation modes with constant amplitudes. Next, on the basis of energetics we also eliminate stochasticity as a cause, leaving low dimensional chaos as the only alternative. We then use a global flow reconstruction technique in an attempt to extract quantitative information from the light curves, and to uncover common physical features in this class of irregular variable stars that straddle the RV Tau to the Mira variables. Evidence is presented that the pulsational behavior of R UMi, RS Cyg, V CVn and UX Dra takes place in a 4-dimensional dynamical phase space, suggesting that two vibrational modes are involved in the pulsation. A linear stability analysis of the fixed points of the maps further indicates the existence of a two-mode resonance, similar to the one we had uncovered earlier in R Sct: The irregular pulsations are the result of a continual energy exchange between two strongly nonadiabatic modes, a lower frequency pulsation mode and an overtone that are in a close 2:1 resonance. The evidence is particularly convincing for R UMi, RS Cyg and V CVn, but much weaker for UX Dra. In contrast, the pulsations of SX Her appear to be more complex and may require a 6D space.

description: The Constitution for the Republic of South Africa (Act 108 of 1996) embraces language as a basic human right and multilingualism as a national resource. One latest foreign language to be given recognition by the Department of Basic Education (DBE) in 2015 is Mandarin, a Chinese language, for incremental implementation as a non-official optional language from 2016 in primary schools. One of the stakeholders at the centre of the implementation of this latest foreign language to be recognised, whose voice has not been heard, are teachers. The methodology adapted in the collection of data is quantitative in that pre-service teachers completed a questionnaire. The results indicate mixed attitudes with more appearing to be not entirely supportive of this move by the DBE. Teachers do not share the same sentiments that are expressed at political level about the significance of Mandarin for trade and globalisation. The findings suggest a need for the DBE to rethink this plan and training proportional to the minimum training requirements for the teaching of a foreign language to be provided to teachers. There would need to be some consultation to ensure a greater teachers’ support as the project continues to be piloted and implemented in more schools across the country.
Impurity-enhanced Aharonov-Bohm effect in neutral quantum-ring magnetoexcitons

description: We study the role of impurity scattering on the photoluminescence (PL) emission of polarized magnetoexcitons. We consider systems where both the electron and hole are confined on a ring structure (quantum rings) as well as on a type-II quantum dot. Despite their neutral character, excitons exhibit strong modulation of energy and oscillator strength in the presence of magnetic fields. Scattering impurities enhance the PL intensity on otherwise "dark" magnetic field windows and non-zero PL emission appears for a wide magnetic field range even at zero temperature. For higher temperatures, impurity-induced anticrossings on the excitonic spectrum lead to unexpected peaks and valleys on the PL intensity as function of magnetic field. Such behavior is absent on ideal systems and can account for prominent features in recent experimental results.

description: True hermaphrodites are animals of confused gender that develop concurrently in the same individual. The incidence of true hermaphroditism is higher in pigs than in other domestic animals. The aim of this study was to describe by gross and histological analysis the genital organs of gilts culled due to anoestrus with true hermaphroditism. Three anoestrus gilts were categorised as unilateral true hermaphrodites and bilateral true hermaphroditism showing both ovotestes were found in three other gilts. The anomalous structures of female genital organs such as oviductal aplasia, hyperclitoris or epididymis usually exist in these gilts. The testicular tissue of ovotestes was composed mainly of Sertoli cells without spermatogenic cells, and the peculiar proliferation of Leydig cells was observed. The anatomical and histological structures of the ovary, ovarian tissue of the ovotestis, the oviduct and the uterine horn seemed to be normal in some pigs, but pyometra, endometritis, uterine oedema and uterine epithelial deterioration occurred in both groups, particularly ovarian cysts, which were usually detected in gilts with bilateral ovotestes. These findings could be helpful in comprehending the morphological features of true hermaphrodite gilts in Thailand. The androgens secreted by Leydig cells or other abnormal factors at puberty in these gilts influenced the existence of hyperclitoris, oviductal aplasia or indeterminate genital tract. These indicators could interrupt the normal functions of the female genital organs, initiating anoestrus in culling gilts. However, the expression of sex hormonal receptors or associated hormones in the genital organs of these animals requires further research.

description: We consider the effect on early Universe cosmology of the dark photon associated with the gauging of $U(1)_{T3R}$, a symmetry group under which only right-handed Standard Model fermions transform non-trivially. We find that cosmological constraints on this scenario are qualitatively much more severe than on other well-studied cases of a new $U(1)$ gauge group, because the dark photon couples to chiral fermions. In particular, the dark photon of $U(1)_{T3R}$ is always produced and equilibrates in the early Universe, no matter how small the gauge coupling, unless the symmetry-breaking scale is extremely large. This occurs because, no matter how the weak the coupling, the Goldstone mode (equivalently, the longitudinal polarization) does not decouple. As a result, even the limit of an extremely light and weakly-coupled dark photon of $U(1)_{T3R}$ is effectively ruled out by cosmological constraints, unless the symmetry-breaking scale is extremely large. We also discuss the possibility of ameliorating Hubble tension in this model.

description: We have performed intermediate resolution (R = 5000), high signal-to-noise H-band spectroscopy of a small, initial sample of three massive embedded young stellar objects (YSOs), using VLT/ISAAC. The sample has been selected from sources characterised in previous literature as being likely of OB spectral type, to be unambiguously associated with bright (H < 14) single point sources in the 2MASS database, and to have no optical counterparts. Of the targets observed, one object shows a ~B3 spectrum, similar to a main sequence object of the same spectral type. A second object exhibits weak HeI and H emission, indicating an early-type source: we detect HeII absorption, which supports a previous indirect derivation of the spectral type as mid-O. The third object does not show absorption lines, so no spectral type can de derived. It does, however, exhibit a rich spectrum of strong, broad emission lines and is likely to be surrounded by dense circumstellar material and at a very early evolutionary stage. Our results from this very small sample are in agreement with those of Kaper et al. (2002), who also find spectra similar to optically visible main sequence stars, together with emission line objects representing a very early evolutionary phase, in their much larger sample of K-band spectra.

description: We introduce a cap product pairing for homology and cohomology of tropical cycles on integral affine manifolds with singularities. We show the pairing is perfect over $\mathbb{Q}$ in degree one when the manifold has at worst symple singularities. By joint work with Siebert, the pairing computes period integrals and its perfectness implies the versality of canonical Calabi-Yau degenerations. We also give an intersection theoretic application for Strominger-Yau-Zaslow fibrations. The treatment of the cap product and Poincaré-Lefschetz by simplicial methods for constructible sheaves might be of independent interest.

Local Scale Invariance and General Relativity

description: According to the theory of unimodular relativity developed by Anderson and Finkelstein, the equations of general relativity with a cosmological constant are composed of two independent equations, one which determines the null-cone structure of space-time, another which determines the measure structure of space-time. The field equations that follow from the restricted variational principle of this version of general relativity only determine the null-cone structure and are globally scale-invariant and scale-free. We show that the electromagnetic field may be viewed as a compensating gauge field that guarantees local scale invariance of these field equations. In this way, Weyl's geometry is revived. However, the two principle objections to Weyl's theory do not apply to the present formulation: the Lagrangian remains first order in the curvature scalar and the non-integrability of length only applies to the null-cone structure.

description: The AMS currently strives to meet the dietary needs of students through offering affordable food served quickly and in abundance - currently, Palate fails to meet these needs. Positioned in a competitive market, Palate lacks differentiation, is limited in financial performance (due to capacity constraints), and does little to foster a sense of community. As students desire more food options that support a healthy environment, Palate is missing out on a crucial opportunity. To address these concerns, we propose a strategy that creates a community-centric, sustainably-sourced, and healthy-minded food service for UBC students. Our strategy consists of two phases: repositioning and expansion. In the “repositioning” phase, we plan to transform our menu to serve an assortment of custom and premade bowls and to reposition the current layout to encourage social interactions. Additionally, we recommend an in-field marketing strategy that will increase brand awareness and build anticipation around a grand opening. Following the “repositioning” will be “expansion,” which entails expanding the restaurant’s capacity to include an outdoor seating area. Through our proposed strategy, we anticipate increased revenues, brand awareness, and sense of community - this will ultimately fulfill the student need for delicious, healthy food served in an inviting environment. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: We present a Bayesian analysis to constrain the equation of state of dense nucleonic matter by exploiting the available data from symmetric nuclear matter at saturation and from observations of compact X-ray sources and from the gravitational wave event GW170817. For the first time, such analysis is performed by using a class of models, the relativistic mean field models, which allow to consistently construct an equation of state in a wide range of densities, isospin asymmetries and temperatures. The selected class of models contains five nuclear physics empirical parameters at saturation for which we construct the joint posterior distributions. By exploring different types of priors, we find that the equations of state with the largest evidence are the ones featuring a strong reduction of the effective mass of the nucleons in dense matter which can be interpreted as an indication of a phase transition to a chiral symmetry restored phase. Those equations of state in turn predict $R_{1.4} \sim 12$ km. Finally, we present a preliminary investigation on the effect of including $Λ$ hyperons showing that they appear in stars more massive than about $1.6 M_{\odot}$ and lead to radii larger than about $R_{1.4} \sim 14$ km. Within the model here explored, the formation of such particles provide a poor agreement with the constraints from GW170817.

description: We present the results of a series of numerical simulations of compressible, self-gravitating hydrodynamic turbulence of cluster-forming clumps in molecular clouds. We examine the role that turbulence has in the formation of gravitationally bound cores, studying the dynamical state, internal structure and bulk properties of these cores. Complex structure in turbulent clumps is formed provided that the damping time of the turbulence, $t_{damp}$ is longer than the gravitational free-fall time $t_{ff}$ in a region. We find a variety of density and infall velocity structures among the cores in the simulation, including cores that resemble the Larson-Penston collapse of an isothermal sphere ($ρ\propto r^{-2}$) as well as cores that resemble the McLaughlin-Pudritz collapse of logatropic spheres ($ρ\propto r^{-1}$). The specific angular momentum profiles range between $j \propto r^{1} - r^{2}$. The masses of the bound cores that form are well-fit by the turbulent mass spectrum of Padoan and Nordlund (2002), while the specific angular momentum distribution can be fit by a broken power law. While our hydrodynamic simulations reproduce many of the observed properties of cores, we find an upper limit for the star formation efficiency (SFE) in clusters of 40-50 per cent.

Does $Λ$CDM really be in tension with the Hubble diagram data?

description: In this article, we elaborate further on the $Λ$CDM "tension", suggested recently by the authors \cite{Lusso:2019akb,Risaliti:2018reu}. We combine Supernovae type Ia (SNIa) with quasars (QSO) and Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) data in order to reconstruct a model independent Hubble diagram to as high redshifts as possible. Specifically, in the case of either SNIa or SNIa/QSO data, we find that current values of the cosmokinetic parameters extracted from the Gaussian process are consistent with those of $Λ$CDM. Including GRBs, in the analysis, we find a tension, which however is not as significant as that mentioned in \cite{Lusso:2019akb, Risaliti:2018reu}. Finally, we argue that the choice of the kernel function used in extracting the luminosity distance might affect the amount of tension.

description: We for the first time obtain the analytical solution for the quirk equation of motion in an approximate way. Based on it, we study several features of quirk trajectory in a more precise way, including quirk oscillation amplitude, number of periods, as well as the thickness of quirk pair plane. Moreover, we find an exceptional case where the quirk crosses at least one of the tracking layers repeatedly. Finally, we consider the effects of ionization energy loss and fixed direction of infracolor string for a few existing searches.

 Heterargus nodosus: Ślipiński and Lawrence 1997: 387, based on synonymy of Gathocles with Heterargus (p. 385). Maddison 2010: 426.
 Type locality: Moeraki.
 Broun number: 1936.
 Remarks: Broun based this species on a single specimen. There is an additional specimen in the BMNH that matches the information given in the original description bearing the following label data: “1936. [in Broun’s hand] // Moeraki [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Gathocles nodosus [in Broun’s hand]”. Upon comparison, both specimens appeared to be of the same species. It is impossible to determine which the one specimen Broun had before him was. Therefore, we chose to recognize as the holotype the cleaner of the two specimens. Additionally, the handwritten determination label of the holotype has a period following the name, which was common on Broun’s type specimens.
 Type material examined: Holotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 1936 [in Broun’s hand] // Moeraki [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Gathocles nodosus. [in Broun’s hand]”.

The Brightest Pulses in the Universe: Multifrequency Observations of the Crab Pulsar's Giant Pulses

description: We analyze the Crab pulsar at ten frequencies from 0.43 to 8.8 GHz using data obtained at the Arecibo Observatory. Giant pulses occur only in the main and interpulse components manifest from radio frequencies to gamma-ray energies. Individual giant pulses reach brightness temperatures of at least $10^{32}$K in our data, which do not resolve the narrowest pulses, and are known to reach $10^{37}$K in nanosecond-resolution observations (Hankins et al 2003). Giant pulses are therefore the brightest known in the observable universe and represent an important milestone for theories of the pulsar emission mechanism to explain. Their short durations allow them to serve as especially sensitive probes of the Crab Nebula and the interstellar medium. We analyze frequency structure in individual giant pulses using a scintillating, amplitude-modulated,polarized shot-noise model. The frequency structure associated with multipath propagation decorrelates on a time scale of 25 sec at 1.5 GHz, which requires that multipath propagation be strongly influenced by material within the Crab Nebula. Additional frequency structure decorrelates faster than one spin period, as would be expected from the shot-noise pattern of nanosecond duration pulses emitted by the pulsar. Taking into account the Crab pulsar's locality inside a bright supernova remnant, we conclude that the brightest pulse in a typical 1-hour observation would be most easily detectable in our lowest frequency band (0.43 GHz) to a distance of 1.6 Mpc. We also discuss the detection of such pulses using future instruments such as LOFAR and the SKA.

description: This paper compares income condition of farm and non-farm households using a single, harmonized database, the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), a survey collecting information on income and well-being of a representative sample of all European households. We adopt approaches that are currently used in the literature on income analysis outside the specific field of agriculture and rooted within the family of the quasi- experimental methods. Starting from a simple comparison of income levels, we move to Regression Adjusted (RA) methods and to Covariate Matching (CM) techniques that are based on a "counterfactual" logic. The analysis produces two main results. The first shows that on average, considering the whole European Union, a negative differential between farming and non-farming households exists. The gap is estimated after controlling for differences between farm and nonfarm households in family size, age, marital status, education, health, rural residence and country belonging. The result is robust to different empirical approaches and, in our opinion, represents a policy relevant outcome of the study. The second main achievement of the study refers to the heterogeneityof income differentials across countries and household groups. Within the group of self-employed households, the farming ones earn on average a lower income, but they show an income level above the average of the total populationin the Western Continental country.

Weak Lensing of the CMB by Large-Scale Structure

description: Several recent papers have studied lensing of the CMB by large-scale structures, which probes the projected matter distribution from $z=10^3$ to $z\simeq 0$. This interest is motivated in part by upcoming high resolution, high sensitivity CMB experiments, such as APEX/SZ, ACT, SPT or Planck, which should be sensitive to lensing. In this paper we examine the reconstruction of the large-scale dark matter distribution from lensed CMB temperature anisotropies. We go beyond previous work in using numerical simulations to include higher order, non-Gaussian effects and study how well the quadratic estimator of \cite{Hu01a} is able to recover the input field. We also study contamination by kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich signals, which is spectrally indistinguishable from lensed CMB anisotropies. We finish by estimating the sensitivity of the previously cited experiments.
