description: The present report offers the results from research carried out in task 1.4 of the AGROMIX project and forms part of work package 1 which deals with the theoretical background and characterisation of mixed farming and agroforestry systems. The objectives of task 1.4 include a review of mixed farming and agroforestry (MF/AF) in Europe, their extension, spatial distribution, and recent changes. Furthermore, a physio- geographic characterisation of areas where these systems are practiced was carried out, as well as a review of climate change in Europe and how it will affect MF/AF. Furthermore, a GIS database which include a large number of variables was created which will serve for upscaling purposes in other tasks of the project.

A classification of MF/AF in Europe was proposed, recognizing seven classes: Silvopastoral, agrosilvopastoral, silvoarable, grazed permanent crops (PC), intercropped PC, grazed arable (temporary) crops and home gardens. The most recent data (2018) were used to analyse the extent and spatial distribution of MF/AF systems in Europe and the whole data set from 2009 to 2018 was applied in the study on temporal changes. Agricultural areas that were not included in the above classes, but which present woody linear features (WLF), were analysed separately, distinguishing three classes: arable land, grazed grasslands and permanent crops with WLF.

description: The Saffman-Taylor viscous fingering instability occurs when a less viscous fluid displaces a more viscous one between narrowly spaced parallel plates in a Hele-Shaw cell. Experiments in radial flow geometry form fan-like patterns, in which fingers of different lengths compete, spread and split. Our weakly nonlinear analysis of the instability predicts these phenomena, which are beyond the scope of linear stability theory. Finger competition arises through enhanced growth of sub-harmonic perturbations, while spreading and splitting occur through the growth of harmonic modes. Nonlinear mode-coupling enhances the growth of these perturbations with appropriate relative phases, as we demonstrate through a symmetry analysis of the mode coupling equations. We contrast mode coupling in radial flow with rectangular flow geometry.

description: In order to construct a catalogue of oxygen-rich (noted M) asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the halo, complementing those of carbon-rich (C) stars, previous lists of Miras and SRa semiregulars located in the nor thern hemisphere are merged and cleaned of various defects. After putting aside known C stars, characteristics lik e colours and periods indicate that most of the remaining objects are M stars. Distances are obtained through the pe riod-luminosity relation. By considering their position in the sky, stars lying at $|Z| > 5$~kpc are confirmed to b e in majority in the Sgr tidal arms. The M stars are more numerous than C ones. Our distance scale is supported by t wo cool variables located in the Pal~4 globular cluster. Along the Sgr arms, there is reasonable agreement on distan ces of our objects with recent RR Lyrae distances. A few stars may be as distant as 150~kpc, with possibly four at t he trailing arm apocenter, and two in the A16 substructure, angularly close to two C stars. Ninety radial velocities are collected from $Gaia$ and other sources. A catalogue with 417 M pulsating AGB stars is provided. It contains $\sim$ 260 stars in the halo with $|Z| > 5$~kpc. Their $K_{\rm s}$ magnitudes range from 8 u p to 13. For comparison, the catalogue also provides $\sim 150$ stars in the disc having $5$~$< K_{\rm s}

Subjects: Theater

description: Especially in today's hectic world, theatre cannot simply be viewed as passive. The act of making theatre is labor intensive, expensive and time consuming. Furthermore, it takes conscious choice to become part of a theatre audience. One must come together as part of a group in a physical space that is reserved especially for that purpose. And then one must remain alert and engaged with the story throughout, usually through quietly listening and watching, and occasionally by following instructions for some sort of participation. The flexibility of stopping and starting the event does not exist as it does in film and television. And there are commercials. Theatre audiences have made a commitment to participate in an event. Yet, this participation is lacking by today's networked and collaborative standards. Other modes of storytelling, such as the plethora of free and low cost social networking platforms and the increasingly elaborate worlds of video game technology provide "the ability to insert yourself directly into the story." Many theatre practitioners and indeed more devout audience members, may argue that theatre is simply not part of this dichotomy - that our art form does not and should not compete with mass media culture. To which I would say - whether or not we like it, we already are. At its most basic function, theatre is a form of storytelling. As are film and television, and - despite people's lack of awareness of the fact - as are social media and video games. So how does theatre prove its worth in the face of these other options? How does the medium remain relevant in today's rapidly changing, media saturated world?

Sequential minimal optimization for quantum-classical hybrid algorithms

description: We propose a sequential minimal optimization method for quantum-classical hybrid algorithms, which converges faster, is robust against statistical error, and is hyperparameter-free. Specifically, the optimization problem of the parameterized quantum circuits is divided into solvable subproblems by considering only a subset of the parameters. In fact, if we choose a single parameter, the cost function becomes a simple sine curve with period $2π$, and hence we can exactly minimize with respect to the chosen parameter. Furthermore, even in general cases, the cost function is given by a simple sum of trigonometric functions with certain periods and hence can be minimized by using a classical computer. By repeatedly performing this procedure, we can optimize the parameterized quantum circuits so that the cost function becomes as small as possible. We perform numerical simulations and compare the proposed method with existing gradient-free and gradient-based optimization algorithms. We find that the proposed method substantially outperforms the existing optimization algorithms and converges to a solution almost independent of the initial choice of the parameters. This accelerates almost all quantum-classical hybrid algorithms readily and would be a key tool for harnessing near-term quantum devices.

description: I think of the act of writing a poem as a ritual--the precise timing, the arrangement of the steps following one another until it becomes a whole, an eternal return of the way memory works. The poems are a means of walking--often blindly, hesitantly-into the self as into a cave, vast and complete, and the only light is the flashlight in my hand that shines into a dark corner barely letting me see the images that quickly disappear before the light. The darkness, defining, takes on a life of its own, so that the act of writing becomes listening to the silence within the self as if the past can only be retraced by hand. The central event in the speaker's life is the death of her father. This book is framed by his presence, as the poems in Part 11 are her attempt to hold the past in place.

description: By solving the Bogoliubov--De Gennes equations analytically, we derive the fermionic zero-modes satisfying the Majorana property that exist in vortices of a two-dimensional $s$-wave Fermi superfluid with spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman spin-splitting. The Majorana zero-mode becomes normalisable and exponentially localised to the vicinity of the vortex core when the superfluid is topologically non-trivial. We calculate the energy splitting due to Majorana hybridisation and identify that the $s$-wave Majorana vortices obey non-Abelian statistics.

Forestry as an end use for reclaimed mines : some considerations
Creators: name: Curran, Michael Patrick
name: Bulmer, Charles Ernest
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Sometimes forestry is identified as an end use during mine reclamation planning. This is desirable and is feasible under some conditions. This paper provides some information from our perspective as soil scientists working on forest soil rehabilitation. Resource values such as wildlife and biodiversity figure prominently in forest planning, as does the desire to mimic natural disturbance processes to create a range of natural habitat conditions. Good stewardship of the soil resource is required to create and sustain all of these conditions. Because the "undisturbed" forest land base is under heavy pressure to provide a balance of resource values, one option is to create or maintain some of the non-timber habitat types during mine reclamation. Such an approach might free up more of the naturally productive, "undisturbed" sites for timber production while maintaining an appropriate balance of habitat types in a given area. However, timber production is still a highly desirable end use for mine areas and consideration should be given to topsoil handling, natural disturbance regimes and current harvest scheduling. Rehabilitated areas should be reforested using the same seed and stock standards as for forestry, with local native species and in landscape patterns similar to the undisturbed areas. Depending on the state of harvesting in the surrounding area, production from the mined areas should be fit into the overall harvesting schedule in the local area, to help maintain a balance of serai (age) stages. In summary, commercial trees are likely to grow on many sites, provided some form of topsoil is provided.

description: Particles in a yet unexplored dark sector with sufficiently large mass and small gauge coupling may form purely gravitational atoms (quantum gravitational bound states) with a rich phenomenology. In particular, we investigate the possibility of having an observable signal of gravitational waves or ultra high energy cosmic rays from the decay of gravitational atoms. We show that if ordinary Einstein gravity holds up to the Planck scale, then, within the $Λ\text{CDM}$ model, the frequency of the gravitational wave signal produced by the decays is always higher than $10^{13} \, \text{Hz}$. An observable signal of gravitational waves with smaller frequency from such decays, in addition to probing near Planckian dark physics, would also imply a departure from Einstein gravity near the Planck scale or an early epoch of non-standard cosmology. As an example, we consider an early universe cosmology with a matter-dominated phase, violating our assumption that the universe is radiation dominated after reheating, which gives a signal in an interesting frequency range for near Planckian bound states. We also show how gravitational atoms arise in the minimal PIDM scenario and compute their gravitational wave signature.

description: In Lima, the main urban problems have been well identified for decades, and there is a fair degree of consensus as what should be done to address them. There is a range of ideas and proposals, and in recent years new voices have appeared to introduce those ideas into the city’s agenda. However, there is not much discussion regarding how to take these ideas from the concept to reality. In that context, this thesis highlights the importance of linking implementation strategies to the formulation processes of urban plans and projects, abandoning the idea of implementation as a separate operation (Kayden, 2014). In Lima, because of its complex and fragmented institutional context, the need for thinking on implementation makes itself evident. This thesis studies the case of Costa Verde, Lima’s disputed waterfront, under the premise that it is a clear sample of Lima’s complexities and its difficulties in coordinating the interests of its many actors and institutions at implementing plans and projects. Furthermore, it explores the underlying factors of Costa Verde’s implementation failures and successes and the ways in which they can be extrapolated to the metropolitan level.

description: Malawi agriculture has undergone various policy regimes targeted at improving productivity and food self-sufficiency. Policy influence has often come from the World Bank and other donors who have pushed for a costly and state minimalist policy, against government wish for a welfarist approach. This situation has created a long-standing schism between the Bank and Government since the signing of the first SAP loan in 1981, thus affecting implementation of agricultural policies. This has resulted in food market reforms being partial and often reversed, with state marketing boards still playing a major role. These have created instability in maize prices and stocks in the national strategic grain reserve, often resulting in food crises and putting into question the achievements of the farm input subsidy program in achieving food security. This paper analyses the impact of Malawi agricultural policies on crop productivity over the past fifty years (1964-2014) and the resulting food security status of the country by drawing on national level data. This is confounded by the fact that up to 38% of Malawians still do not get adequate food supplies and the percentage of stunted children is high at 42.4%. Dietary diversification, improved research and technology development and transfer, upscaling of irrigation and policy consistency are critical to achieving national and household food security. Equally, development and empowerment of the private sector is the panacea for a strong maize marketing system that would deliver stable supply and pricing

description: This paper examines the ways in which involvement with both French spectral music and Afrological forms of improvisation has informed my current work as a composer. I present a brief overview of the major concerns and preoccupations of both musics as well as an account of the overlapping histories of spectral music and Afrological improvisation, with particular attention to the concepts of liminality and rhythmic thresholds in the light of recent music perception research. Finally, through an in-depth analysis of two of my recent compositions, Echoes (2008) and Baltimore/Berlin (2008, rev. 2011), I show how this ongoing inquiry allows us to think about composition in new and fruitful ways.

description: The maximum energy loss (Bragg peak) located near the end of range is a characteristic feature of ion stopping in matter, which generates an acoustic pulse, if ions are deposited into a medium in adequately short bunches. This so-called ionoacoustic effect has been studied for decades, mainly for astrophysical applications, and it has recently found renewed interest in proton therapy for precise range measurements in tissue. After detailed preparatory studies with 20 MeV protons at the MLL tandem accelerator, ionoacoustic range measurements were performed in water at the upgraded SIS18 synchrotron of GSI with 238U and 124Xe ion beams of energy about 300 MeV/u, and 12C ions of energy about 200 MeV/u using fast beam extraction to get 1 microsecond pulse lengths. Acoustic signals were recorded in axial geometry by standard piezo-based transducers at a 500 kHz mean frequency and evaluated in both the time and frequency domains. The resulting ranges for the different ions and energies were found to agree with Geant4 simulations as well as previous measurements to better than 1%. Given the high accuracy provided by ionoacoustic range measurements in water and their relative simplicity, we propose this new method for stopping power measurements for heavy ions at GeV energies and above. Our experimental results clearly demonstrate the potential of an ionoacoustic particle monitor especially for very intense heavy ion beams foreseen at future accelerator facilities.

description: The combination of precise radial velocities from multi-object spectroscopy and highly accurate proper motions from Gaia DR2 opens up the possibility for detailed 3D kinematic studies of young star forming regions and clusters. Here, we perform such an analysis by combining Gaia-ESO Survey spectroscopy with Gaia astrometry for ~900 members of the Lagoon Nebula cluster, NGC 6530. We measure the 3D velocity dispersion of the region to be $5.35^{+0.39}_{-0.34}$~km~s$^{-1}$, which is large enough to suggest the region is gravitationally unbound. The velocity ellipsoid is anisotropic, implying that the region is not sufficiently dynamically evolved to achieve isotropy, though the central part of NGC 6530 does exhibit velocity isotropy that suggests sufficient mixing has occurred in this denser part. We find strong evidence that the stellar population is expanding, though this is preferentially occurring in the declination direction and there is very little evidence for expansion in the right ascension direction. This argues against a simple radial expansion pattern, as predicted by models of residual gas expulsion. We discuss these findings in the context of cluster formation, evolution and disruption theories.

description: Polarized ferrofluids, lipid monolayers and magnetic bubbles form domains with deformable boundaries. Stability analysis of these domains depends on a family of nontrivial integrals. We present a closed form evaluation of these integrals as a combination of Legendre functions. This result allows exact and explicit formulae for stability thresholds and growth rates of individual modes. We also evaluate asymptotic behavior in several interesting limits.

description: We consider second and third order limit theorems--namely central-limit theorems, Berry-Esseen bounds and concentration inequalities-- and extend them for "symmetric" random objects, and general estimators of exchangeable structures.
      At first, we consider random processes whose distribution satisfies a symmetry property. Examples include exchangeability, stationarity, and various others. We show that, under a suitable mixing condition, estimates computed as ergodic averages of such processes satisfy a central limit theorem, a Berry-Esseen bound, and a concentration inequality. These are generalized further to triangular arrays, to a class of generalized U-statistics, and to a form of random censoring. As applications, we obtain new results on exchangeability, and on estimation in random fields and certain network model; extend results on graphon models; give a simpler proof of a recent central limit theorem for marked point processes; and establish asymptotic normality of the empirical entropy of a large class of processes. In certain special cases, we recover well-known properties, which can hence be interpreted as a direct consequence of symmetry. The proofs adapt Stein's method.
      Subsequently, we consider a sequence of-potentially random-functions evaluated along a sequence of exchangeable structures. We show that, under general stability conditions, those values are asymptotically normal. Those conditions are vaguely reminiscent of those familiar from concentration results, however not identical. We require that the output of the functions does not vary significantly when an entry is disturbed; and the size of this variation should not depend markedly on the other entries.
        Our result generalizes a number of known results, and as corollaries, we obtain new results for several applications: For randomly sub-sampled subgraphs; for risk estimates obtained by K-fold cross validation; and for the empirical risk of double bagging algorithms. The proof adapts the martingale central-limit theorem.
The Influence of Host Star Spectral Type on Ultra-Hot Jupiter Atmospheres

description: Ultra-hot Jupiters are the most highly irradiated gas giant planets, with equilibrium temperatures from 2000 to over 4000 K. Ultra-hot Jupiters are amenable to characterization due to their high temperatures, inflated radii, and short periods, but their atmospheres are atypical for planets in that the photosphere possesses large concentrations of atoms and ions relative to molecules. Here we evaluate how the atmospheres of these planets respond to irradiation by stars of different spectral type. We find that ultra-hot Jupiters exhibit temperature inversions that are sensitive to the spectral type of the host star. The slope and temperature range across the inversion both increase as the host star effective temperature increases due to enhanced absorption at short wavelengths and low pressures. The steep temperature inversions in ultra-hot Jupiters around hot stars result in increased thermal dissociation and ionization compared to similar planets around cooler stars. The resulting increase in H$^{-}$ opacity leads to a transit spectrum that has muted absorption features. The emission spectrum, however, exhibits a large contrast in brightness temperature, a signature that will be detectable with both secondary eclipse observations and high-dispersion spectroscopy. We also find that the departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium in the stellar atmosphere can affect the degree of heating caused by atomic metals in the planet's upper atmosphere. Additionally, we further quantify the significance of heating by different opacity sources in ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres.

description: The low energy effective theory for the Randall-Sundrum two brane system is investigated with an emphasis on the role of the non-linear radion in the brane world. The equations of motion in the bulk is solved using a low energy expansion method. This allows us, through the junction conditions, to deduce the effective equations of motion for the gravity on the brane. It is shown that the gravity on the brane world is described by a quasi-scalar-tensor theory with a specific coupling function omega(Psi) = 3 Psi / 2(1-Psi) on the positive tension brane and omega(Phi) = -3 Phi / 2(1+Phi) on the negative tension brane, where Psi and Phi are non-linear realizations of the radion on the positive and negative tension branes, respectively. In contrast to the usual scalar-tensor gravity, the quasi-scalar-tensor gravity couples with two kinds of matter, namely, the matters on both positive and negative tension branes, with different effective gravitational coupling constants. In particular, the radion disguised as the scalar fields Psi and Phi couples with the sum of the traces of the energy momentum tensor on both branes. In the course of the derivation, it has been revealed that the radion plays an essential role to convert the non-local Einstein gravity with the generalized dark radiation to the local quasi-scalar-tensor gravity. For completeness, we also derive the effective action for our theory by substituting the bulk solution into the original action. It is also shown that the quasi-scalar-tensor gravity works as holograms at the low energy in the sense that the bulk geometry can be reconstructed from the solution of the quasi-scalar-tensor gravity.

Limit Theory for Spatial Processes, Bootstrap Quantile Variance Estimators, and Efficiency Measures for Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Creators: Yang, Xuan
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Statistics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This thesis contains three topics: (I) limit theory for spatial processes, (II) asymptotic results on the bootstrap quantile variance estimator for importance sampling, and (III) an efficiency measure of MCMC.
      (I) First, central limit theorems are obtained for sums of observations from a $\kappa$-weakly dependent random field.  In particular, it is considered that the observations are made from a random field at irregularly spaced and possibly random locations.  The sums of these samples as well as sums of functions of pairs of the observations are objects of interest; the latter has applications in covariance estimation, composite likelihood estimation, etc.  Moreover, examples of $\kappa$-weakly dependent random fields are explored and a method for the evaluation of $\kappa$-coefficients is presented.
      Next, statistical inference is considered for the stochastic heteroscedastic processes (SHP) which generalize the stochastic volatility time series model to space.  A composite likelihood approach is adopted for parameter estimation, where the composite likelihood function is formed by a weighted sum of pairwise log-likelihood functions.   In addition, the observations sites are assumed to distributed according to a spatial point process.  Sufficient conditions are provided for the maximum composite likelihood estimator to be consistent and asymptotically normal.
      (II) It is often difficult to provide an accurate estimation for the variance of the weighted sample quantile.  Its asymptotic approximation requires the value of the density function which may be hard to evaluate in complex systems.  To circumvent this problem, the bootstrap estimator is considered.  Theoretical results are established for the exact convergence rate and asymptotic distributions of the bootstrap variance estimators for quantiles of weighted empirical distributions.  Under regularity conditions, it is shown that the bootstrap variance estimator is asymptotically normal and has relative standard deviation of order O(n^-1/4)
      (III) A new performance measure is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms.  More precisely, the large deviations rate of the probability that the Monte Carlo estimator deviates from the true by a certain distance is used as a measure of efficiency of a particular MCMC algorithm. Numerical methods are proposed for the computation of the rate function based on samples of the renewal cycles of the Markov chain.  Furthermore the efficiency measure is applied to an array of MCMC schemes to determine their optimal tuning parameters.

description: At least $70\%$ of massive OBA-type stars reside in binary or higher-order systems. The dynamical evolution of these systems can lend insight into the origins of extreme phenomena such as X-ray binaries and gravitational wave sources. In one such dynamical process, the Eccentric Kozai-Lidov (EKL) Mechanism, a third companion star alters the secular evolution of a binary system. For dynamical stability, these triple systems must have a hierarchical configuration. We explore the effects of a distant third companion's gravitational perturbations on a massive binary's orbital configuration before significant stellar evolution has taken place ($\leq 10$ Myr). We include tidal dissipation and general relativistic precession. With large ($38,000$ total) Monte-Carlo realizations of massive hierarchical triples, we characterize imprints of the birth conditions on the final orbital distributions. Specifically, we find that the final eccentricity distribution over the range $0.1-0.7$ is an excellent indicator of its birth distribution. Furthermore, we find that the period distributions have a similar mapping for wide orbits. Finally, we demonstrate that the observed period distribution for approximately $10$ Myr-old massive stars is consistent with EKL evolution.

description: We investigate the possibility of semigroup extensions of the isometry group of an identification space, in particular, of a compactified spacetime arising from an identification map $p: \RR^n_t \to \RR^n_t / Γ$, where $\RR^n_t$ is a flat pseudo-Euclidean covering space and $Γ$ is a discrete group of primitive lattice translations on this space. We show that the conditions under which such an extension is possible are related to the index of the metric on the subvector space spanned by the lattice vectors: If this restricted metric is Euclidean, no extensions are possible. Furthermore, we provide an explicit example of a semigroup extension of the isometry group of the identification space obtained by compactifying a Lorentzian spacetime over a lattice which contains a lightlike basis vector. The extension of the isometry group is shown to be isomorphic to the semigroup $(\ZZ^{\times},\cdot)$, i.e. the set of nonzero integers with multiplication as composition and 1 as unit element. A theorem is proven which illustrates that such an extension is obstructed whenever the metric on the covering spacetime is Euclidean.
