description: We study the dynamics of optimization and the generalization properties of one-hidden layer neural networks with quadratic activation function in the over-parametrized regime where the layer width $m$ is larger than the input dimension $d$. We consider a teacher-student scenario where the teacher has the same structure as the student with a hidden layer of smaller width $m^*\le m$. We describe how the empirical loss landscape is affected by the number $n$ of data samples and the width $m^*$ of the teacher network. In particular we determine how the probability that there be no spurious minima on the empirical loss depends on $n$, $d$, and $m^*$, thereby establishing conditions under which the neural network can in principle recover the teacher. We also show that under the same conditions gradient descent dynamics on the empirical loss converges and leads to small generalization error, i.e. it enables recovery in practice. Finally we characterize the time-convergence rate of gradient descent in the limit of a large number of samples. These results are confirmed by numerical experiments.

description: We examine the LEP limits for the $Zh\to Z+b$'s final state and find that the excess of observed events for $\mh\sim 100\gev$ correlates well with there being an $\mh\sim 100\gev$ Higgs boson with SM-like $ZZh$ coupling that decays partly via $h\to b\anti b+\tauptaum$ [with $\br(h\to b\anti b)\sim 0.08$] but dominantly via $h\to aa$ [with $\br(h\to aa)\sim 0.9$], where $\ma<2\mb$ so that $a\to \tauptaum$ (or light quarks and gluons) decays are dominant. Scenarios of precisely this type arise in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Model for parameter choices yielding the lowest possible fine-tuning.

description: There has been little study of economic and general attitudes towards the conservation of the Asian elephant. This paper reports and analyses results from surveys conducted in Sri Lanka of attitudes of urban dwellers and farmers towards nature conservation in general and the elephant conservation in particular. The analyses are based on urban and a rural sample. Contingent valuation techniques are used as survey instruments. Multivariate logit regression analysis is used to analyze the respondents’ attitudes towards conservation of elephants. It is found that, although some variations occurred between the samples, the majority of the respondents (both rural and urban) have positive attitudes towards nature conservation in general. However, marked differences in attitudes toward elephant conservation are evident between these two samples: the majority of urban respondents were in favour of elephant conservation; rural respondents expressed a mixture of positive and negative attitudes. Overall, considerable unrecorded and as yet unutilised economic support for conservation of wild elephants exists in Sri Lanka.

description: In case of company agrarian of size medium and small, that it is the one that mainly predominates in Colombia, is appraised a short term decision making that does not correspond to a systemic process that assures the sustainability in the time. In the evaluation of the management the use of indicators of technical type predominates and without Strategy-Focused Organization. A generic example with the Balanced Scorecard methodology appears in this work for the formulation of the strategy in horticulture companies, of such form, that it allows to evaluate the global performance based on the processes characteristic of these, but that of a form simple and nearer the language of the small ones and medium producers offers a tool to them that supports its efforts of improvement.

description: We report on Andreev reflections at clean NbSe2-bilayer graphene junctions. The high transparency of the junction, which manifests as a large conductance enhancement of up to 1.8, enables us to see clear evidence of a proximity-induced superconducting gap in bilayer graphene and two Andreev reflections through a vertical NbSe2-graphene and a lateral graphene-graphene junction respectively. Quantum transport simulations capture the complexity of the experimental data and illuminate the impact of various microscopic parameters on the transmission of the junction. Our work establishes the practice and understanding of an all-van-der-Waals, high-performance superconducting junction. The realization of a highly transparent proximized graphene-graphene junction opens up possibilities to engineer emergent quantum phenomena.

description: We study vacuum structure of N=2 supersymmetric (SUSY) QCD, based on the gauge group SU(2) with N_f=2 flavors of massive hypermultiplet quarks, in the presence of non-zero baryon chemical potential (μ). The theory has a classical vacuum preserving baryon number symmetry, when a mass term, which breaks N=2 SUSY but preserves N=1 SUSY, for the adjoint gauge chiral multiplet (m_{ad}) is introduced. By using the exact result of N=2 SUSY QCD, we analyze low energy effective potential at the leading order of perturbation with respect to small SUSY breaking parameters, μand m_{ad}. We find that the baryon number is broken as a consequence of the SU(2) strong gauge dynamics, so that color superconductivity dynamically takes place at the non-SUSY vacuum.

description: Results from a CVM survey of willingness to pay for the conservation of the Asian elephant of a sample of urban residents in three selected housing schemes in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, are reported. Face– to–face surveys were conducted using an interview schedule. A non-linear logit regression model was constructed to analyse the respondents’ responses for the payment principle questions and to identify the factors that influence their responses. We investigate whether urban residents’ WTP for the conservation of elephants is sufficient to compensate farmers for the damage caused by elephants, and consequently to raise farmers’ tolerance of the presence of elephants on the farming fields. We find that beneficiaries (the urban residents) could compensate losers (the farmers in the HEC affected areas) and be better off than in the absence of elephants in Sri Lanka. This suggests that there is a strong economic case for the conservation of the wild elephant population in Sri Lanka. However, we have insufficient data to determine Sri Lanka’s optimal elephant population in the Kaldor-Hicks sense.
Integration of multirate heteroceptive sensor data in robotic system servo-loops
Creators: name: Langlois, David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This work is concerned with the development of control policies in order to increase the robustness of robot control systems in the presence of sensor fault or failure. The policies are based on the integration of low sampling rate Heteroceptive Sensor feedback data (i.e., sensor data providing contextual and environmental feedback) in the robot system position servo-lbop where Proprioceptive Sensor data (i.e., sensor data providing feedback about the internal state of the robotic device) is already used to close the feedback loop. Increased robustness is achieved through the dynamic reconfiguration of the sensing subsystem on fault occurrence. The smooth transition between the different sensing subsystem configuration is performed using Heuristic-based Geometric Redundant Fusion (HGRF), which generates a fused feedback signal based on the relative uncertainty of each feedback signal with respect to the overall sensing uncertainty. The uncertainty of each feedback signal is quantified though the use of an Uncertainty Quantification Metric, which quantifies the signal uncertainty in terms its discrepancy with the deterministic set-point signal of the robotic device. The crux of the policies lies in defining a coherent and uniform way to optimize the use of the low-rate heteroceptive signal in the high-rate servo-loop. Two policies are proposed in order to compensate for the low sampling rate of the heteroceptive sensor and generate refereed feedback values for all controller signal update instant. The first policy uses Kalman filter-based predictors in order to both time-correlate the slow heteroceptive data, and propagate its information through the following controller update instants. The second policy uses an open-loop polynomial prediction scheme in order to generate heteroceptive measurements for all controller update: instants, without time-correlating the lagging heteroceptive signal. Stability analysis, uncertainty quantification metric performance evaluation and simulation results are presented for both policies. Experimental results are provided for the polynomial policy, based on the implementation of the multirate control policy on a Cartesian manipulator.
Effects of magnetic fields on the Datta-Das spin field-effect transistor

description: A Datta-Das spin field-effect transistor is built of a heterostructure with a Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI) at the interface (or quantum well) separating two possibly magnetized reservoirs. The particle and spin currents between the two reservoirs are driven by chemical potentials that are (possibly) different for each spin direction. These currents are also tuned by varying the strength of the SOI, which changes the amount of the rotation of the spins of electrons crossing the heterostructure. Here we investigate the dependence of these currents on additional Zeeman fields on the heterostructure and on variations of the reservoir magnetizations. In contrast to the particle current, the spin currents are not necessarily conserved; an additional spin polarization is injected into the reservoirs. If a reservoir has a finite (equilibrium) magnetization, then we surprisingly find that the spin current into that reservoir can only have spins which are parallel to the reservoir magnetization, independent of all the other fields. This spin current can be enhanced by increasing the magnetization of the other reservoir, and can also be tuned by the SOI and the various magnetic fields. When only one reservoir is magnetized then the spin current into the other reservoir has arbitrary tunable size and direction. In particular, this spin current changes as the magnetization of the other reservoir is rotated. The optimal conditions for accumulating spin polarization on an unpolarized reservoir are to either apply a Zeeman field in addition to the SOI, or to polarize the other reservoir.

description: We examine the spectroscopic signatures of tunneling through a Kitaev quantum spin liquid (QSL) barrier in a number of experimentally relevant geometries. We combine contributions from elastic and inelastic tunneling processes and find that spin-flip scattering at the itinerant spinon modes gives rise to a gaped contribution to the tunneling conductance spectrum. We address the spectral modifications that arise in a magnetic field necessary to drive the candidate material $α$-RuCl$_3$ into a QSL phase, and we propose a lateral 1D tunnel junction as a viable setup in this regime. The characteristic spin gap is an unambiguous signature of the fractionalized QSL excitations, distinguishing it from magnons or phonons. The results of our analysis are generically applicable to a wide variety of topological QSL systems.

description: Anderson theorizes that development of the aquaculture of a species of fish (also captured in an open-access fishery) favours the conservation of its wild stocks, if competitive market conditions prevail. However, this theory is shown to be subject to significant limitations. While this is less so within his model, it is particularly so in an extended one outlined here. The extended model allows for the possibility that aquaculture development can impact negatively on wild stocks thereby shifting the supply curve of the capture fishery, or raise the demand for the fish species subject both to aquaculture and capture. Such development can threaten wild stocks and their biodiversity. While aquaculture development could in principle have no impact on the biodiversity of wild stocks or even raise aquatic biodiversity overall, its impact in the long-term probably will be one of reducing aquatic diversity both in the wild and overall.

In the Coulomb blockade regime, strong signatures of inelastic cotunneling occur which can directly be assigned to excited states observed in the non-blockaded regime. In addition, we observe structures related to sequential tunneling through the dot, occuring after it has been excited by an inelastic cotunneling process. We explain our findings using transport calculations within the real-time Green's function approach, including diagrams up to fourth order in the tunneling matrix elements.

description: The semantic Web initiates new, high level access schemes to online content and applications. One area of superior need for a redefined content exploration is given by on-line educational applications and their concepts of interactivity in the framework of open hypermedia systems. In the present paper we discuss aspects and opportunities of gaining interactivity schemes from semantic notions of components. A transition from standard educational annotation to semantic statements of hyperlinks is discussed. Further on we introduce the concept of semantic link contexts as an approach to manage a coherent rhetoric of linking. A practical implementation is introduced, as well. Our semantic hyperlink implementation is based on the more general Multimedia Information Repository MIR, an open hypermedia system supporting the standards XML, Corba and JNDI.
National Trends in Nonoperative Management of Rectal Adenocarcinoma

Year: 2016

description: PURPOSE: Neoadjuvant chemoradiation for stage II/III rectal cancer results in up to 49% of patients with a clinical complete response. As a result, many have questioned whether surgery can be omitted for this group of patients. Currently, there is insufficient evidence for chemoradiation only, or nonoperative management (NOM), to support its adoption. Despite this, anecdotal evidence suggests there is a trend toward increased use of NOM. Our objective was to examine the use of NOM for rectal cancer over time, as well as the patient- and facility-level factors associated with its use.
METHODS: We included all incident cases of invasive, nonmetastatic rectal adenocarcinoma reported to the National Cancer Database from 1998 to 2010. We performed univariate and multivariate analyses to assess for NOM use over time, as well as associated patient- and facility-level factors.
RESULTS: A total of 146,135 patients met the inclusion criteria: 5,741 had NOM and 140,394 had surgery with or without additional therapy. From 1998 to 2010, NOM doubled, from 2.4% to 5% of all cases annually. Patients who were black (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.71; 95% CI, 1.57 to 1.86), uninsured (AOR, 2.35; 95% CI, 2.08 to 2.65) or enrolled in Medicaid (AOR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.90 to 2.33), or treated at low-volume facilities (AOR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.42 to 1.64) were more likely to receive NOM than were patients who were white, privately insured, and treated at a high-volume facility, respectively.
CONCLUSION: NOM demonstrates promise for the treatment of rectal cancer; currently, however, the most appropriate strategy is to pursue this approach with well-informed patients in the context of a clinical trial. We observed evidence of increasing NOM use, with this increase occurring more frequently in black and uninsured/Medicaid patients, raising concern that increased NOM use may actually represent increasing disparities in rectal cancer care rather than innovation. Further studies are needed to assess survival differences by treatment strategy.

We introduce a new universal set of qudit gates and use it to give a constructive proof of the universality of d1WQC. We characterise the set of gates that can be performed in one parallel time step in this model.

No Absolutism Here
Creators: name: Schein, Chelsea

Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2016

description: Moral absolutism is the idea that people's moral judgments are insensitive to considerations of harm. Scott, Inbar, and Rozin (2016, this issue) claim that most moral opponents to genetically modified organisms are absolutely opposed-motivated by disgust and not harm. Yet there is no evidence for moral absolutism in their data. Perceived risk/harm is the most significant predictor of moral judgments for "absolutists," accounting for 30 times more variance than disgust. Reanalyses suggest that disgust is not even a significant predictor of the moral judgments of absolutists once accounting for perceived harm and anger. Instead of revealing actual moral absolutism, Scott et al. find only empty absolutism: hypothetical, forecasted, self-reported moral absolutism. Strikingly, the moral judgments of so-called absolutists are somewhat more sensitive to consequentialist concerns than those of nonabsolutists. Mediation reanalyses reveal that moral judgments are most proximally predicted by harm and not disgust, consistent with dyadic morality.

Does clearcutting affect the quantity of soluble organic nitrogen in forest soil?
Creators: name: Hannam, Kirsten Danielle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Soluble organic N (SON) is often more abundant than soluble inorganic N (SIN) in forest soils. The effects of forest management on the abundance of SON in forest soils are of interest because plants can take up some of this N. Studies investigating the impact of logging on SON concentrations have found inconsistent results. Concentrations of SON and SIN were measured in forests and clearcuts in coastal cedar-hemlock forests near Port McNeill, B.C. and in high-elevation spruce-fir forests near Sicamous, B.C. Soil samples were collected to a cumulative depth of 20 cm in order to characterize the forest soil environment exploited by young seedlings. At Port McNeill, samples from the forest consisted of F- and H-layer forest floor. In the clearcuts, samples consisted of H-layer forest floor only, because the F layer was absent. At Sicamous, samples of forest floor and mineral soil were collected from both the forest and clearcuts. SON was determined in 1 M KC1 extracts using persulphate oxidation. Amino acid-N and microbial N were determined on separate subsets of the samples. At both sites, forest soil SON content was significantly greater than SIN content. Free amino acid-N was estimated to comprise 1 to 1.5 % of the total SON content. SON content tended to be higher in the forests than in the clearcuts at both sites but differences were significant at Sicamous only. At Port McNeill, SON content tended to be higher in the forests than in the clearcuts because of the presence of a SON-rich F layer, which was absent in the clearcuts. At Sicamous, SON content tended to be higher in the forests than in the clearcuts because forest floor SON concentrations were significantly lower in the clearcuts. Correlation analysis indicated close relationships between moisture content, SIN, SON and microbial N. However, buried bag incubations suggested that changes in forest soil SON, SIN and microbial N concentrations cannot be explained simply by exchange among these three N pools.

description: Emerging mobility standards within the next generation Internet Protocol, IPv6, promise to continuously operate devices roaming between IP networks. Associated with the paradigm of ubiquitous computing and communication, network technology is on the spot to deliver voice and videoconferencing as a standard internet solution. However, current roaming procedures are too slow, to remain seamless for real-time applications. Multicast mobility still waits for a convincing design. This paper investigates the temporal behaviour of mobile IPv6 with dedicated focus on topological impacts. Extending the hierarchical mobile IPv6 approach we suggest protocol improvements for a continuous handover, which may serve bidirectional multicast communication, as well. Along this line a multicast mobility concept is introduced as a service for clients and sources, as they are of dedicated importance in multipoint conferencing applications. The mechanisms introduced do not rely on assumptions of any specific multicast routing protocol in use.

A natural application of the model is one in which the action 1 is the purchase of a good, which is locally a public good, in the sense that it will be available also to neighbors. This game will typically exhibit a great multiplicity of equilibria. Imagine a social planner whose scope is to find an optimal equilibrium, i.e. one in which the number of nodes playing 1 is minimal. To find such an equilibrium is a very hard task for any non-trivial network architecture. We propose an implementable mechanism that, in the limit of infinite time, reaches an optimal equilibrium, even if this equilibrium and even the network structure is unknown to the social planner.

description: We study the response of a large array of coupled nonlinear oscillators to parametric excitation, motivated by the growing interest in the nonlinear dynamics of microelectromechanical and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS). Using a multiscale analysis, we derive an amplitude equation that captures the slow dynamics of the coupled oscillators just above the onset of parametric oscillations. The amplitude equation that we derive here from first principles exhibits a wavenumber dependent bifurcation similar in character to the behavior known to exist in fluids undergoing the Faraday wave instability. We confirm this behavior numerically and make suggestions for testing it experimentally with MEMS and NEMS resonators.

Of borrowers and bricolage: imagining the water, plants, and people at Abbott Farm Marshlands
Creators: name: Orlino, Zoe
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: This thesis uses objet trouvés to reveal the hidden aspects of the landscape that enrich the layers of information assembled in traditional mapping. Part one maps, diagrams, and measures factual information concerning Abbott Farm Marshland’s history. This is accomplished through typical site analysis of physical changes as traced through natural and anthropogenic change. Part two of this thesis explores objet trouvés and provides a case study example. In part three, using the information assembled in part one and part two, along with material gathered from the site, I create a series of bricolage art pieces to express personal interpretations of the site.

description: We analyze the quantum entanglement between two interacting atoms trapped in a spherical harmonic potential. At ultra-cold temperature, ground state entanglement is generated by the dominated s-wave interaction. Based on a regularized pseudo-potential Hamiltonian, we examine the quantum entanglement by performing the Schmidt decomposition of low-energy eigenfunctions. We indicate how the atoms are paired and quantify the entanglement as a function of a modified s-wave scattering length inside the trap.

Classification of Light-Induced Desorption of Alkali Atoms in Glass Cells Used in Atomic Physics Experiments

description: We attempt to provide physical interpretations of light-induced desorption phenomena that have recently been observed for alkali atoms on glass surfaces of alkali vapor cells used in atomic physics experiments. We find that the observed desorption phenomena are closely related to recent studies in surface science, and can probably be understood in the context of these results. If classified in terms of the photon-energy dependence, the coverage and the bonding state of the alkali adsorbates, the phenomena fall into two categories: It appears very likely that the neutralization of isolated ionic adsorbates by photo-excited electron transfer from the substrate is the origin of the desorption induced by ultraviolet light in ultrahigh vacuum cells. The desorption observed in low temperature cells, on the other hand, which is resonantly dependent on photon energy in the visible light range, is quite similar to light-induced desorption stimulated by localized electronic excitation on metallic aggregates. More detailed studies of light-induced desorption events from surfaces well characterized with respect to alkali coverage-dependent ionicity and aggregate morphology appear highly desirable for the development of more efficient alkali atom sources suitable to improve a variety of atomic physics experiments.

Time-averaged transport in oscillatory squeeze flow of a viscoelastic fluid

description: Periodically-driven flows are known to generate non-zero, time-averaged fluxes of heat or solute species, due to the interactions of out-of-phase velocity and temperature/concentration fields, respectively. Herein, we investigate such transport (a form of the well-known Taylor--Aris dispersion) in the gap between two parallel plates, one of which oscillates vertically, generating a time-periodic squeeze flow of either a newtonian or Maxwellian fluid. Using the method of multiple time-scale homogenization, the mass/heat balance equation describing transport in this flow is reduced to a one-dimensional advection--diffusion--reaction equation. This result indicates three effective mechanisms in the mass/heat transfer in the system: an effective diffusion that spreads mass/heat along the concentration/temperature gradient, an effective advective flux, and an effective reaction that releases or absorbs mass/heat - in the time-averaged frame. Our results demonstrate that there exist resonant modes under which the velocity peaks when the dimensionless plate oscillation frequency (embodied by the Womersley number, the ratio of the transient inertia to viscous forces) approaches specific values. As a result, transport in this flow is significantly influenced by the dimensionless frequency. On the one hand, the effective, time-averaged dispersion coefficient is always larger than the molecular diffusivity, and is sharply enhanced near resonance. The interaction between fluid elasticity and the oscillatory forcing enhances the efficiency of transport in the system. On the other hand, the identified effective advection and reaction mechanisms may transport mass/heat from regions of high concentration/temperature to those of low concentration/temperature, or vice versa, depending on the value of dimensionless frequency.

description: We consider a generalized Dirac-Fock type evolution equation deduced from no-photon Quantum Electrodynamics, which describes the self-consistent time-evolution of relativistic electrons, the observable ones as well as those filling up the Dirac sea. This equation has been originally introduced by Dirac in 1934 in a simplified form. Since we work in a Hartree-Fock type approximation, the elements describing the physical state of the electrons are infinite rank projectors. Using the Bogoliubov-Dirac-Fock formalism, introduced by Chaix-Iracane ({\it J. Phys. B.}, 22, 3791--3814, 1989), and recently established by Hainzl-Lewin-Sere, we prove the existence of global-in-time solutions of the considered evolution equation.

Thematics and Hermeneutics in Four Recently Published Books on Middle Eastern/Arab Cinema

description: 
                    Along with the periodic irreverence towards Area Studies by its disciplinary counterparts, there has also been some discomfort within the narrow confines of Film Studies for scholarship that focuses on individual national or regional cinemas. And yet, the growing interest in the cinema of the Middle East (North Africa included) is unquestionable. The four books reviewed here are part of this trend; dozens of other publications on Middle Eastern cinema have been authored in English alone in the new millennium. Explanations for this (re)ignited interest go beyond the obvious political currents in the Middle East and include,
                    inter alia
                    , the increasingly common practice of co-productions, mainly between Europe and the Maghreb, where the terms of the co-production often result in availing Middle Eastern films to international markets and in the inclusion of these films in prestigious film festivals worldwide. The launching of new international film festivals in the Arab world/Middle East furthers the cinematic dialogue between this region and the rest of the world. Concurrently, even a cursory survey will point to the significant surge in courses on Arab/Middle Eastern cinema since the early 2000s in institutions of higher education in the United States and beyond.

description: We measure the hadronic branching ratios of the Z0 boson into heavy quarks: Rb=Gamma(Z0->bb)/Gamma(Z0->hadrons) and Rc=Gamma(Z0->cc/Gamma(Z0->hadrons) using a multi-tag technique. The measurement was performed using about 400,000 hadronic Z0 events recorded in the SLD experiment at SLAC between 1996 and 1998. The small and stable SLC beam spot and the CCD-based vertex detector were used to reconstruct bottom and charm hadron decay vertices with high efficiency and purity, which enables us to measure most efficiencies from data. We obtain, Rb=0.21604 +- 0.00098(stat.) +- 0.00073(syst.) -+ 0.00012(Rc) and, Rc= 0.1744 +- 0.0031(stat.) +- 0.0020(syst.) -+ 0.0006(Rb)
