description: In this study, the continuous review order-quantity–re-order point (Q, R) model is analysed with cycle cost considerations. First, we formulate the maximum cycle cost of a given (Q, R) policy using a distribution-free approach. Then, two approaches are introduced to minimize the maximum cycle cost: (i) adjusting R of a given (Q, R) policy and (ii) designing a new (Q, R) policy. Optimum inventory control decisions are characterized for each approach. A set of numerical studies is presented to compare the outcomes of both approaches to three long-term cost minimization approaches, namely the cost minimizing (Q, R) policy, the distribution-free minmax (Q, R) policy, and the distribution-free (Q, R) policy based on the maximum entropy principle. Our numerical results demonstrate the viability of the two approaches introduced and discuss implications of penalty costs and lead time demand’s coefficient of variation. Later, we formulate a bi-objective model with the objectives of expected cost and maximum cycle cost minimizations and propose a bi-directional method to approximate the set of Pareto efficient solutions. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the algorithm and demonstrate the Pareto front.
Completeness and Orthonormality in PT-symmetric Quantum Systems

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Some PT-symmetric non-hermitean Hamiltonians have only real eigenvalues. There is numerical evidence that the associated PT-invariant energy eigenstates satisfy an unconventional completeness relation. An ad hoc scalar product among the states is positive definite only if a recently introduced `charge operator' is included in its definition. A simple derivation of the conjectured completeness and orthonormality relations is given. It exploits the fact that PT-symmetry provides an additional link between the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian and those of its adjoint, which form a dual pair of bases. The `charge operator' emerges naturally upon expressing the properties of the dual bases in terms of one basis only.

description: In this work we show that optimal ratchet currents of two interacting particles are obtained when stable periodic motion is present. By increasing the coupling strength between identical ratchet maps, it is possible to find, for some parametric combinations, current reversals, hyperchaos, multistability, and duplication of the periodic motion in the parameter space. Besides that, setting a fixed value for the current of one ratchet it is possible to induce a positive/negative/null current for the whole system in certain domains of the parameter space.

description: The influence of intersubsystem coupling on the cyclic adiabatic geometric phase in bipartite systems is investigated. We examine the geometric phase effects for two uniaxially coupled spin$-{1/2}$ particles, both driven by a slowly rotating magnetic field. It is demonstrated that the relation between the geometric phase and the solid angle enclosed by the magnetic field is broken by the spin-spin coupling, in particular leading to a quenching effect on the geometric phase in the strong coupling limit.

description: Reverse supply chains are receiving increased attention for business and sustainability opportunities. As few organizations are adept at both forward and reverse supply chains, subcontracting various activities is imperative. Vendor selection that best achieves combined expertise for reverse supply chains, while quickly forming virtual enterprises to seize market opportunities, is an emerging issue. We formulate a novel 0-1 integer nonlinear optimization model, subsequently linearized to enable efficient computational performance, to select vendors that minimize the maximum formation time for creating agile virtual reverse supply chains. We then generate a portfolio of diverse, high-quality vendor assignments by adapting a recent algorithmic technique, thereby allowing industrial managers to address intangible factors into their final decisions. Computational experiments on simulated data demonstrate the model’s efficiency for generating sets of high-quality and diverse solutions in reasonable timeframes.

description: Food loss and waste have become a critical problem worldwide. Determining an appropriate promotional strategy for reducing waste and environmental impacts to ensure sustainability is essential in supply chains (SCs). Considering quality losses, this paper proposes an on-site direct-sale dynamic SC inventory model involving one retailer and one contracted supply centre for perishable foods. This model enables the determination of optimal price markdown decisions while maximizing the total channel profit. Regularly priced and markdown products are substitutable during the markdown period, and their demand rates are dependent on price, quality, and time. The optimal solution for the price markdown timing is derived analytically, and a sensitivity analysis of various model parameters is conducted. Numerical studies are also presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results; three scenarios with different types of customers served by the retailer are considered (general customers, product-quality-oriented customers, and price-oriented customers). Based on the theoretical and numerical findings, several managerial insights are provided.

description: PSR J2021+4026 is a radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsar and the first pulsar that shows state change of the gamma-ray emission and spin-down rate. The state change of PSR J2021+4026 was first observed at 2011 October, at which the pulsar changes the state from high gamma-ray flux/low spin-down rate state to low gamma-ray flux/high spin-down rate st\ ate. In December 2014, PSR J2021+4026 recovered the state before the 2011 state change over a timescale of a few months. We report that the long term evolution of the gamma-ray flux and timing behavior suggests that PSR J2021+4026 changed the state near 2018 February 1st and entered a new low gamma-ray flux/high spin-down rate state. At the 2018 state change, the averaged flux dropped from $(1.29\pm 0.01)\times 10^{-6} {\rm cts~cm^{-2}s^{-1}}$ to $(1.12\pm 0.01)\times 10^{-6} {\rm cts~cm^{-2}s^{-1\ }}$, which has the similar behavior to the case of 2011 event. The spin-down rate has increased by $\sim 3\%$ in the new state since the 2018 state change. The shapes of pulse profile and spectrum in GeV bands also changed at the 2018 event, and they are consistent with behavior at the 2011 state change. Our results probably suggest that PSR J2021+4026 is switching between different states with a timescale of several years, like some radio pulsars (e.g. PSR~B1828-11). PSR J2021+4026 will provide a unique opportunity to study the mechanism of the state switching.

description: We propose the utilization of the IBM Quantum Experience quantum computing system to simulate different scenarios involving common hybrid quantum system components, the Nitrogen Vacancy Centre (NV centre) and the Flux Qubit. We perform a series of the simulation experiments and demonstrate properties of a virtual hybrid system, including its spin relaxation rate and state coherence. In correspondence with experimental investigations we look at the scalability of such systems and show that increasing the number of coupled NV centres decreases the coherence time. We also establish the main error rate as a function of the number of control pulses in evaluating the fidelity of the four qubit virtual circuit with the simulator. Our results show that the virtual system can attain decoherence and fidelity values comparable to what has been reported for experimental investigations of similar physical hybrid systems, observing a coherence time at 0.35 s for a single NV centre qubit and fidelity in the range of 0.82. The work thus establishes an effective simulation test protocol for different technologies to test and analyze them before experimental investigations or as a supplementary measure.

Protective Measurements and the Reality of the Wave Function

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: It has been debated whether protective measurement implies the reality of the wave function. In this paper, I present a new analysis of the relationship between protective measurements and the reality of the wave function. First, I briefly introduce protective measurements and the ontological models framework for them. Second, I give a simple proof of Hardy's theorem in terms of protective measurements. Third, I analyze two suggested $ψ$-epistemic models of a protective measurement. It is shown that although these models can explain the appearance of expectation values of observables in a single measurement, their predictions about the variance of the result of a non-ideal protective measurement are different from those of quantum mechanics. Finally, I argue that under an auxiliary finiteness assumption about the dynamics of the ontic state, protective measurement implies the reality of the wave function in the ontological models framework.

Prediction of paperboard properties and their variability based on raw material and process data

Subjects: prediction

description: This study shows that machine learning (ML) methods are applicable for predicting paperboard properties
 based on raw material and process data, e.g., bending stiffness and curl in machine direction (MD)
 and cross-machine direction (CD) so as the twist. The feature selection is crucial for the quality of the
 prediction. Therefore, domain knowledge is needed to select the right features. This selection improves
 the model and ensures its reliability, comprehensibility, and interpretability.
 The following procedure was conducted in this study: preprocessing, feature selection, prediction, and
 variability analysis. The self-implemented recursive feature addition (RFA) takes the features specified
 by a domain expert during feature selection into consideration and requires less computation time in
 comparison to the common recursive feature elimination (RFE).
 The extremely randomized tree (ET) was chosen due to its high interpretability and good results. It
 achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) for the bending stiffness MD of 0.79 mN m; an MAE for curl MD
 of 0.05 m^(−1) (in a value range from 7 to 100 mN m and −1 to 1 m^(−1), respectively); and similar results for
 the respective CD properties.
 A variability analysis was performed, identifying the features that bring variability to the examined
 property. For bending stiffness these are combinations of basis weight, thickness, and tambour speed; for
 curl, they are combinations of refining energy to the long-fiber, water into the liquid application system,
 and pressure in the drying cylinders.
 Finally, for the prediction of twist with the same feature set as for curl MD, the R^2 score achieves
 0.2755 and a MAE of 0.10 m^(−1) (in a value range of −1 to 1 m^(−1). This demonstration clearly shows the
 importance of specifying the most relevant features for each property.

description: We report spectroscopic measurements of stars in the recently discovered young stellar association Price-Whelan 1 (PW 1), which was found in the vicinity of the Leading Arm (LA) of the Magellanic Stream. We obtained Magellan+MIKE high-resolution spectra of the 28 brightest stars in PW 1 and used The Cannon to determine their stellar parameters. We find that the mean metallicity of PW 1 is [Fe/H]=-1.23 with a small scatter of 0.06 dex and the mean radial velocity is Vhelio=276.7 km/s with a dispersion of 11.0 km/s. Our results are consistent in Teff, logg, and [Fe/H] with the young and metal-poor characteristics (116 Myr and [Fe/H]=-1.1) determined for PW 1 from our discovery paper. We find a strong correlation between the spatial pattern of the PW 1 stars and the LA II gas with an offset of -10.15 deg in L_MS and +1.55 deg in B_MS. The similarity in metallicity, velocity, and spatial patterns indicates that PW 1 likely originated in LA II. We find that the spatial and kinematic separation between LA II and PW 1 can be explained by ram pressure from Milky Way gas. Using orbit integrations that account for the LMC and MW halo and outer disk gas, we constrain the halo gas density at the orbital pericenter of PW 1 to be n_halo (17 kpc) = 2.7 (3) x 10^-3 atoms/cm^3 and the disk gas density at the midplane at 20 kpc to be n_disk (20 kpc,0) = 6.0 (1.8) x 10^-2 atoms/cm^3. We, therefore, conclude that PW 1 formed from the LA II of the Magellanic Stream, making it a powerful constraint on the Milky Way-Magellanic interaction.

description: We investigate the chemo-dynamical effects of multiple supernova explosions in the central region of primordial galaxies using three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of the inhomogenous interstellar medium down to parsec-scales. We find that the final protogalactic structure and metal distribution depend strongly on the number of SNe. Specifically, 1) 1000 SNe after an instantaneous burst of star formation are sufficient to almost completely blow away the gas in these systems, whereas 2) 100 SN explosions trigger the collapse of the protogalactic cloud, leading to the formation of a cold, dense clumpy disk (n > 300 cm^-3) with metallicity, Z = 4 10^-4 Z_sun. These results imply that the metallicity of the ``second generation'' of stars could be Z ~ 10^-4 Z_sun, and that the environment to form metal-free stars in protogalaxies may be lost relatively quickly (< 10^7 yr) after the first burst of Z=0 star formation. The recently discovered ultra-metal-poor star (Christlieb et al. 2002) may represent surviving members of such second-generation star formation.

The measurement problem revisited
Creators: name: Gao, Shan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It has been realized that the measurement problem of quantum mechanics is essentially the determinate-experience problem, and in order to solve the problem, the physical state representing the measurement result is required to be also the physical state on which the mental state of an observer supervenes. This necessitates a systematic analysis of the forms of psychophysical connection in the solutions to the measurement problem. In this paper, I propose a new, mentalistic formulation of the measurement problem which lays more stress on psychophysical connection. By this new formulation, it can be seen more clearly that the three main solutions to the measurement problem, namely Everett's theory, Bohm's theory and collapse theories, correspond to three different forms of psychophysical connection. I then analyze these forms of psychophysical connection. It is argued that the forms of psychophysical connection required by Everett's and Bohm's theories have potential problems, while an analysis of how the mental state of an observer supervenes on her wave function may help solve the structured tails problem of collapse theories.

description: We show that correlations established before quenching to very low temperatures, later drive the magnetization process of systems of single molecule magnets, after a magnetic field is applied at t=0. We also show that in SC lattices, m \propto sqrt(t), as observed in Fe_8, but only for 1+2*log_10(h_d/h_w) time decades, where h_d is a nearest neighbor dipolar magnetic field and a spin reversal can occur only if the field on it is within (-h_w,h_w). However, the sqrt(t) behavior is not universal. For BCC and FCC lattices, m \propto t^p, but p \simeq 0.7. The value to which m finally levels off is also given.

 Diagnosis of Male. This species is easily identified by having the last tergum quadrate and hirsute, the lack of a tooth on the posterior trochanter, and by the coloration. This species has the legs and antennae reddish brown, while the remainder of the integument is black. It also has a pit filled with setae on sternum II.
 Female. Unknown.
 Host Identity. Entechnia taurea Say (Hymenoptera: Apidae) (Nonveiller 1990).
 Distribution. Ecuador.
 Remarks. This species, D. creon (Blake) from the United States, and D. chilcotti sp. nov. from Mexico have the last tergum hirsute and are possibly closely related. This species is distinguished from the others without difficulty. Dasymutilla creon has the posterior trochanter toothed, while D. chilcotti has the integument of almost the entire metasoma (except the first segment) ferruginous.

description: Motivated by the Peres-Horodecki criterion and the realignment criterion we develop a more powerful method to identify entangled states for any bipartite system through a universal construction of the witness operator. The method also gives a new family of positive but non-completely positive maps of arbitrary high dimensions which provide a much better test than the witness operators themselves. Moreover, we find there are two types of positive maps that can detect 2xN and 4xN bound entangled states. Since entanglement witnesses are physical observables and may be measured locally our construction could be of great significance for future experiments.

description: Pixel-space full spectrum fitting exploiting non-linear $χ^2$ minimization became a \emph{de facto} standard way of deriving internal kinematics from absorption line spectra of galaxies and star clusters. However, reliable estimation of uncertainties for kinematic parameters remains a challenge and is usually addressed by running computationally expensive Monte-Carlo simulations. Here we derive simple formulae for the radial velocity and velocity dispersion uncertainties based solely on the shape of a template spectrum used in the fitting procedure and signal-to-noise information. Comparison with Monte-Carlo simulations provides perfect agreement for different templates, signal-to-noise ratios and velocity dispersion between 0.5 and 10 times of the instrumental spectral resolution. We provide {\sc IDL} and {\sc python} implementations of our approach. The main applications are: (i) exposure time calculators; (ii) design of observational programs and estimates on expected uncertainties for spectral surveys of galaxies and star clusters; (iii) a cheap and accurate substitute for Monte-Carlo simulations when running them for large samples of thousands of spectra is unfeasible or when uncertainties reported by a non-linear minimization algorithms are not considered reliable.

description: Blockchain technology offers a decentralized and secure method for storing and authenticating data, rendering it well-suited for various applications such as digital currencies, supply chain management, and voting systems. However, the decentralized nature of blockchain also exposes it to vulnerabilities, particularly Byzantine faults, which arise when nodes in the network behave maliciously or encounter unexpected failures. Such incidents can result in inconsistencies within the blockchain and, in extreme scenarios, lead to a breakdown in consensus. Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus algorithms are crafted to tackle this challenge by ensuring that network nodes can agree on the blockchain's state even in the presence of faulty or malicious nodes. To bolster the system's resilience against these faults, it is imperative to detect them within the system. However, our examination of existing literature reveals a prevalent assumption: solutions typically operate under constraints regarding the number of faulty nodes. Such constraints confine the proposed solutions to ideal environments, limiting their practical applicability. In response, we propose a novel approach inspired by social paradigms, employing a trusted and fully monitored communication sub-process to detect Byzantine nodes. Upon detection, these nodes can be either disregarded in the consensus-building process, subjected to penalties, or undergo modifications as per the system's policy. Finally, we statistically demonstrate that our approach achieves a detection probability that exceeds 95\% for Byzantine nodes. In essence, our methodology ensures that if Byzantine nodes exhibit malicious behavior, healthy nodes can identify them with a confidence level of 95\%.
Nonradiative $α^7m$ QED effects in Lamb shift of helium triplet states

description: Theoretical predictions for the Lamb shift in helium are limited by unknown quantum electrodynamic effects of the order $α^7m$, where $α$ is the fine-structure constant and $m$ is the electron mass. We make an important step towards the complete calculation of these effects by deriving the most challenging part, which is induced by the virtual photon exchange between all three helium particles, the two electrons, and the nucleus. The complete calculation of the $α^7m$ effect including the radiative corrections will allow comparing of the nuclear charge radii determined from the electronic and muonic helium atoms and thus provide a stringent test of the Standard Model of fundamental interactions.

 Dasymutilla albiceris Mickel, 1936b. Pan-Pacific Ent. 12:91. Holotype female, Mexico, Valle de la Trinidad, Lower California, July, 1927 (L. M. Huey) [UMSP] (examined). Description of male: Manley (2003a:6).
 Diagnosis of Female (Plate C1A). The female is distinguished by this unique combination of characters, including coloration: the antennal scrobe is carinate dorsally, the gena is ecarinate, the mesosoma is broad, a scutellar scale is absent, and the dorsum of the female is clothed with long and erect, pale yellow, almost white setae, while the integument is black.
 Diagnosis of Male (Plate C1B). The male is distinguished by this unique combination of characters, including coloration: the antennal scrobe is carinate dorsally, sternum II lacks a pit, an apical fringe of setae is present on the pygidium, and the integument is clothed with contrasting white to yellow and black setae.
 Distribution. USA (California); Mexico (Baja California).
 Remarks. This is a very poorly collected species known only from the holotype and two paratype females described by Mickel (1936b) from Baja California and the six voucher specimens (four females and two males) used by Manley (2003a) for description of the male. The latter female specimens are all from southern California, as is one of the males, while the other male is from Baja California. All known specimens have been examined.

Galaxy groups in the 2dF galaxy redshift survey: Large Scale Structure with Groups

description: We use the 2dF Galaxy Group Catalogue constructed by Merchán & Zandivarez to study the large scale structure of the Universe traced by galaxy groups. We concentrate on the computation of the power spectrum and the two point correlation function. The resulting group power spectrum shows a similar shape to the galaxy power spectrum obtained from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey by Percival et al., but with a higher amplitude quantified by a relative bias in redshift space of $b_s(k) \sim 1.5$ . The group two point correlation function for the total sample is well described by a power law with correlation length $s_0=8.9 \pm 0.3 \mpc$ and slope $γ=-1.6 \pm 0.1$ on scales $s < 20 \mpc$. In order to study the dependence of the clustering properties on group mass we split the catalogue in four subsamples defined by different ranges of group virial masses. These computations allow a fair estimate of the relation described by the correlation length $s_0$ and the mean intergroup separation $d_c$ for galaxy systems of low mass. We also extend our study to the redshift space distortions of galaxy groups, where we find that the anisotropies in the clustering pattern of the 2dF group catalogue are consistent with gravitational instability, with a flattening of the redshift-space correlation function contours in the direction of the line of sight.

description: A class of Schrödinger-type second-order linear differential equations with a large parameter $u$ is considered. Analytic solutions of this type of equations can be described via (divergent) formal series in descending powers of $u$. These formal series solutions are called the WKB solutions. We show that under mild conditions on the potential function of the equation, the WKB solutions are Borel summable with respect to the parameter $u$ in large, unbounded domains of the independent variable. It is established that the formal series expansions are the asymptotic expansions, uniform with respect to the independent variable, of the Borel re-summed solutions and we supply computable bounds on their error terms. In addition, it is proved that the WKB solutions can be expressed using factorial series in the parameter, and that these expansions converge in half-planes, uniformly with respect to the independent variable. We illustrate our theory by application to a radial Schrödinger equation associated with the problem of a rotating harmonic oscillator and to the Bessel equation.

description: Quantum entanglement, perhaps the most non-classical manifestation of quantum information theory, cannot be used to transmit information between remote parties. Yet, it can be used to reduce the amount of communication required to process a variety of distributed computational tasks. We speak of pseudo-telepathy when quantum entanglement serves to eliminate the classical need to communicate. In earlier examples of pseudo-telepathy, classical protocols could succeed with high probability unless the inputs were very large. Here we present a simple multi-party distributed problem for which the inputs and outputs consist of a single bit per player, and we present a perfect quantum protocol for it. We prove that no classical protocol can succeed with a probability that differs from 1/2 by more than a fraction that is exponentially small in the number of players. This could be used to circumvent the detection loophole in experimental tests of nonlocality.

The SZ Effect Signature of Excess Entropy in Distant, Massive Clusters

description: Studies of cluster X-ray scaling relations have led to suggestions that non-gravitational processes, e.g., radiative cooling and/or "preheating", have significantly modified the entropy of the intracluster medium (ICM). For the first time, we test this hypothesis through a comparison of predicted thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect scaling relations with available data from the literature. One of the relations that we explore, in principle, depends solely on SZ effect observations, thus offering an X-ray independent probe of the ICM. A detailed comparison of the theoretical relations with the largest compilation of high redshift SZ effect data to date indicates that the presence of an entropy floor is favored by the data. Furthermore, the inferred level of that floor, 300 keV cm^2 or higher, is comparable to that found in studies of X-ray scaling relations of nearby massive clusters. Thus, we find no evidence for significant evolution of the entropy floor out to z = 0.7. We further demonstrate that the high quality data to be obtained from the upcoming Sunyaev-Zeldovich Array (SZA) and the (soon-to-be) upgraded Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) array will open powerful new windows into the properties of the ICM. Specifically, the new measurements will allow for accurate measurements of the ICM entropy for even the most distant galaxy clusters.
