description: We revisit the model of a quantum Brownian oscillator linearly coupled to an environment of quantum oscillators at finite temperature. By introducing a compact and particularly well-suited formulation, we give a rather quick and direct derivation of the master equation and its solutions for general spectral functions and arbitrary temperatures. The flexibility of our approach allows for an immediate generalization to cases with an external force and with an arbitrary number of Brownian oscillators. More importantly, we point out an important mathematical subtlety concerning boundary-value problems for integro-differential equations which led to incorrect master equation coefficients and impacts on the description of nonlocal dissipation effects in all earlier derivations. Furthermore, we provide explicit, exact analytical results for the master equation coefficients and its solutions in a wide variety of cases, including ohmic, sub-ohmic and supra-ohmic environments with a finite cut-off.

description: The Agricultural Resource Management Survey of corn growers for the year 2005 and the 2008 survey of dry mill ethanol plants are used to estimate the net energy balance of corn ethanol. This report measures all conventional fossil fuel energy used in the production of 1 gallon of corn ethanol. The ratio is about 2.3 BTU of ethanol for 1 BTU of energy inputs, when a portion of total energy input is allocated to byproduct and fossil fuel is used for processing energy. The ratio is somewhat higher for some firms that are partially substituting biomass energy in processing energy.

description: Kubernetes (k8s) has the potential to coordinate distributed edge resources and centralized cloud resources, but currently lacks a specialized scheduling framework for edge-cloud networks. Besides, the hierarchical distribution of heterogeneous resources makes the modeling and scheduling of k8s-oriented edge-cloud network particularly challenging. In this paper, we introduce KaiS, a learning-based scheduling framework for such edge-cloud network to improve the long-term throughput rate of request processing. First, we design a coordinated multi-agent actor-critic algorithm to cater to decentralized request dispatch and dynamic dispatch spaces within the edge cluster. Second, for diverse system scales and structures, we use graph neural networks to embed system state information, and combine the embedding results with multiple policy networks to reduce the orchestration dimensionality by stepwise scheduling. Finally, we adopt a two-time-scale scheduling mechanism to harmonize request dispatch and service orchestration, and present the implementation design of deploying the above algorithms compatible with native k8s components. Experiments using real workload traces show that KaiS can successfully learn appropriate scheduling policies, irrespective of request arrival patterns and system scales. Moreover, KaiS can enhance the average system throughput rate by 15.9% while reducing scheduling cost by 38.4% compared to baselines.

description: We investigate the implications of parity-violating electron scattering experiment on neutron skin thickness of $^{48}$Ca (CREX) and $^{208}$Pb (PREX-II) data on the bulk properties of finite nuclei, nuclear matter, and neutron stars. The neutron skin thickness from the CREX and PREX-II data is employed to constrain the parameters of relativistic mean field models which includes different non-linear, self and cross-couplings among isoscalar-scalar $σ$, isoscalar-vector $ω$, isovector-scalar $δ$ and isovector-vector $ρ$ meson fields up to the quartic order. Three parametrizations of RMF model are proposed by fitting CREX, PREX-II and both CREX as well as PREX-II data to assess their implications. A covariance analysis is performed to assess the theoretical uncertainties of model parameters and nuclear matter observables along with correlations among them. The RMF model parametrization obtained with the CREX data acquires much smaller value of symmetry energy (J= 28.97$\pm$ 0.99 MeV), its slope parameter (L= 30.61$\pm 6.74$ MeV) in comparison to those obtained with PREX-II data. The neutron star properties are studied by employing the equations of state (EoSs) composed of nucleons and leptons in $β$ equilibrium.

description: The promise of punishment and reward in promoting public cooperation is debatable. While punishment is traditionally considered more successful than reward, the fact that the cost of punishment frequently fails to offset gains from enhanced cooperation has lead some to reconsider reward as the main catalyst behind collaborative efforts. Here we elaborate on the "stick versus carrot" dilemma by studying the evolution of cooperation in the spatial public goods game, where besides the traditional cooperators and defectors, rewarding cooperators supplement the array of possible strategies. The latter are willing to reward cooperative actions at a personal cost, thus effectively downgrading pure cooperators to second-order free-riders due to their unwillingness to bear these additional costs. Consequently, we find that defection remains viable, especially if the rewarding is costly. Rewards, however, can promote cooperation, especially if the synergetic effects of cooperation are low. Surprisingly, moderate rewards may promote cooperation better than high rewards, which is due to the spontaneous emergence of cyclic dominance between the three strategies.

description: Using a narrow intercombination line in alkaline earth atoms to mitigate large inelastic losses, we explore the Optical Feshbach Resonance (OFR) effect in an ultracold gas of bosonic $^{88}$Sr. A systematic measurement of three resonances allows precise determinations of the OFR strength and scaling law, in agreement with coupled-channels theory. Resonant enhancement of the complex scattering length leads to thermalization mediated by elastic and inelastic collisions in an otherwise ideal gas. OFR could be used to control atomic interactions with high spatial and temporal resolution.

For faster driving, the flow behavior is shown to be consistent with the rheological behavior predicted by the recently developed "inertial number approaches for suspension flows.

description: The question of how nonlinear interactions redistribute the energy of fluctuations across available degrees of freedom is of fundamental importance in the study of turbulence and transport in magnetized weakly collisional plasmas, ranging from space settings to fusion devices. In this letter, we present a theory for the dual cascade found in such plasmas, which predicts a range of new behavior that distinguishes this cascade from that of neutral fluid turbulence. These phenomena are explained in terms of the constrained nature of spectral transfer in nonlinear gyrokinetics. Accompanying this theory are the first observations of these phenomena, obtained via direct numerical simulations using the gyrokinetic code {\tt AstroGK}. The basic mechanisms that are found provide a framework for understanding the turbulent energy transfer that couples scales both locally and non-locally.

Democracy in an uncertain world : campaign information and voter decision-making
Creators: name: Lachance, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Electoral campaigns serve an important democratic function by providing voters with information on the different electoral alternatives. Yet, the dominant narrative in the literature, based mainly on the U.S. case, is that campaigns only have “minimal effects” on electoral outcomes. This dissertation is comprised of three studies that cover cases outside the United States and employ precise data on the policy information delivered by the campaign to analyze its effects on voter decision-making. The first study challenges the claim that polarization in the United States has diminished the importance of issue voting by putting forward the communication of candidate on issues as a mechanism for campaign effects. To do so, I use a combination of survey and Twitter data on the issue statements made by candidates during the 2012 and 2016 presidential electoral campaigns. My findings show that voters respond to policy information that is congruent with their preferences from both the congenial candidate and the candidate they are predisposed against. While these effects are small in the aggregate, they can determine elections. The second study focuses on the role of the campaign in providing information to strategic voters who target coalition governments with their vote for a minor party. It clarifies the conceptual differences between three types of strategies and tests them with data on the 2013 and 2017 German federal elections from campaign-period surveys, polls and the candidates’ tweets about policy. The results show evidence of policy-driven voters using a hybrid strategy in 2013 and a compensatory strategy in 2017. There is no evidence of coalition-insurance voting in these elections. The third study addresses a puzzle rooted in the assumption that voters are risk-averse: If voters dislike ambiguity, why do candidates take ambiguous policy positions? To answer this question, this study uses insights from ecological rationality and an experiment fielded in Canada, the United States and Germany. The results offer a solution to the puzzle by showing that the net effect of policy ambiguity is positive. It attracts voters whose policy positions are between the centre and the extremes, while leaving centrist and extremist voters indifferent.
The luminosity-dependent high-redshift turnover in the steep spectrum radio luminosity function: clear evidence for downsizing in the radio-AGN population

description: This paper presents a new grid-based method for investigating the evolution of the steep-spectrum radio luminosity function, with the aim of quantifying the high-redshift cut-off suggested by previous work. To achieve this, the Combined EIS-NVSS Survey of Radio Sources (CENSORS) has been developed; this is a 1.4 GHz radio survey, containing 135 sources complete to a flux density of 7.2 mJy, selected from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) over 6 deg^2 of the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) Patch D. The sample is currently 73% spectroscopically complete, with the remaining redshifts estimated via the K-z or I-z magnitude-redshift relation. CENSORS is combined with additional radio data from the Parkes All-Sky, Parkes Selected Regions, Hercules and VLA COSMOS samples to provide comprehensive coverage of the radio power vs. redshift plane. The redshift distributions of these samples, together with radio source count determinations, and measurements of the local luminosity function, provide the input to the fitting process. The modelling reveals clear declines, at > 3sigma significance, in comoving density at z > 0.7 for lower luminosity sources (log P = 25-26); these turnovers are still present at log P > 27, but move to z > 3, suggesting a luminosity-dependent evolution of the redshift turnover, similar to the `cosmic downsizing' seen for other AGN populations. These results are shown to be robust to the estimated redshift errors and to increases in the spectral index for the highest redshift sources. Analytic fits to the best-fitting steep spectrum grid are provided so that the results presented here can be easily accessed by the reader, as well as allowing plausible extrapolations outside of the regions covered by the input datasets

description: The quantum theory of cosmological perturbations in single field inflation is formulated in terms of a path integral. Starting from a canonical formulation, we show how the free propagators can be obtained from the well known gauge-invariant quadratic action for scalar and tensor perturbations, and determine the interactions to arbitrary order. This approach does not require the explicit solution of the energy and momentum constraints, a novel feature which simplifies the determination of the interaction vertices. The constraints and the necessary imposition of gauge conditions is reflected in the appearance of various commuting and anti-commuting auxiliary fields in the action. These auxiliary fields are not propagating physical degrees of freedom but need to be included in internal lines and loops in a diagrammatic expansion. To illustrate the formalism we discuss the tree-level 3-point and 4-point functions of the inflaton perturbations, reproducing the results already obtained by the methods used in the current literature. Loop calculations are left for future work.

THE EXISTENCE OF RADIO ENGINEERING REFUTES THE PHYSICS TEXTBOOKS' VERSION OF STR

description: The article explains that, since the principle of light speed non-exceedance in the version of the special theory of relativity (STR) presented in physics textbooks implies physical unreality of any imaginary numbers, then according to this version of the STR imaginary impedance of capacitors and inductors in radio engineering should also be physically unreal. Thus, resonance should not exist in linear electric circuits and creation of filters should be impossible. Consequently, this should make existence of the whole radio technology impossible. However, since radio engineering exists, the generally accepted version of the STR presented in physics textbooks for study should be recognized as incorrect.

description: Excerpts from the report Conclusion: Previous estimates suggested that accessible and sustainable corn residue supplies are adequate for a new biomass processing industry. Revision is justified now because the agronomic and economic environment has changed. Also, there is an interest in the location of low cost biomass supplies. The revised estimates of corn stover cost and supply fit today’s yield and input situation. The revised estimates confirm that corn stover supplies could be a low cost feedstock for a low cost and extensive bioenergy industry. Supplies of 100 million metric tons of stover would be available to an established industry at a delivered plant price between $37.5/ton and $40.5/ton. At moderately higher prices, the feedstock for a 10.5 MGY ethanol industry would be available. Several offsetting changes in economic environment and technology have occurred since we calculated our first estimates, but the new supply estimate is still slightly larger. Stover cost remains highly competitive in today’s energy market.

Our large--order results suggest that the CMX is not reliable for most practical purposes because the expansion exhibits considerable oscillations.

description: In this paper, we investigate how much of the numerical artefacts introduced by finite system size and choice of boundary conditions can be removed by finite size scaling, for strongly-correlated systems with quasi-long-range order. Starting from the exact ground-state wave functions of hardcore bosons and spinless fermions with infinite nearest-neighbor repulsion on finite periodic chains and finite open chains, we compute the two-point, density-density, and pair-pair correlation functions, and fit these to various asymptotic power laws. Comparing the finite-periodic-chain and finite-openchain correlations with their infinite-chain counterparts, we find reasonable agreement among them for the power-law amplitudes and exponents, but poor agreement for the phase shifts. More importantly, for chain lengths on the order of 100, we find our finite-open-chain calculation overestimates some infinite-chain exponents (as did a recent density-matrix renormalization-group (DMRG) calculation on finite smooth chains), whereas our finite-periodic-chain calculation underestimates these exponents. We attribute this systematic difference to the different choice of boundary conditions. Eventually, both finite-chain exponents approach the infinite-chain limit: by a chain length of 1000 for periodic chains, and > 2000 for open chains. There is, howwever, a misleading apparent finite size scaling convergence at shorter chain lengths, for both our finite-chain exponents, as well as the finite-smooth-chain exponents. Implications of this observation are discussed.

description: In the given work, static and energy calculations were performed, which resulted in the determination of the geometric parameters of the GSB, the flow rates through the GSB supports, and the total power loss. An overheated bearing check was performed. Also in this chapter the spindle deflections are calculated based on the formulas of the course of resistance of materials. The description of the dynamic model for the pump-pocket control system and its dynamic analysis are given: LAFC, LFCCH and transient system graphs are built. A correction has been developed due to the low dynamic quality of the original system of automatic control of GPS and oscillation in it.

description: Suppose that $R$ is a ring essentially of finite type over a perfect field of characteristic $p > 0$ and that $a \subseteq R$ is an ideal. We prove that the set of $F$-jumping numbers of $τ_b(R; a^t)$ has no limit points under the assumption that $R$ is normal and $Q$-Gorenstein -- we do \emph{not} assume that the $Q$-Gorenstein index is not divisible by $p$. Furthermore, we also show that the $F$-jumping numbers of $τ_b(R; Δ, a^t)$ are discrete under the more general assumption that $K_R + Δ$ is $\bR$-Cartier.

description: Conflicting results have been reported on the association between blood level of interleukin-6 and adverse outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The current meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the predictive utility of elevated blood interleukin-6 level in patients with ACS. A systematically literature search was performed using PubMed and Embase databases up to December 31, 2019. Observational studies or post hoc analysis of randomized controlled trials investigating the values of blood interleukin-6 level for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE including death, re-infarction, revascularization, angina, heart failure, malignant arrhythmia, or stroke), all-cause mortality or cardiovascular mortality in ACS patients were eligible. The predictive values were summarized by pooling the multivariable-adjusted risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the highest versus lowest category of interleukin-6 level. Thirteen studies enrolling 30,289 patients with ACS were included. When comparing the highest with lowest category of interleukin-6 level, the pooled RR was 1.29 (95% CI 1.12–1.48) for MACE, 1.50 (95% CI 1.35–1.67) for all-cause mortality, and 1.55 (95% CI 1.06–2.28) for cardiovascular mortality, respectively. Moreover, the predictive values of interleukin-6 level on MACE were consistently found in different study designs, subtypes of patients, sample sizes, follow-up duration, and cutoff value of interleukin-6 elevation subgroups. Increased blood level of interleukin-6may be independently associated with higher risk of MACE, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with ACS. Measurement of blood interleukin-6 level has potential to improve risk stratification of ACS.
A novel MILP model for the decarbonization of transit bus system considering emissions reduction targets and distributed energy resources
Creators: name: Kharouf, Mohammad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Emission reduction targets are currently being set by governments to usher in a transition into clean and sustainable transportation sector. Over the past few decades, even though battery electric bus systems have been gaining popularity as a good candidate for facilitating this transition, municipalities and transit bus operators have been facing major challenges in transforming their fossil fueled fleets into battery electric such as the limited range offered by battery electric buses and their extended charging time which may adversely affect transit operations and level of service. Moreover, electric utilities are being exposed to noticeable challenges in terms of power quality (i.e., undervoltage) and high power demand as a result of this transition. These challenges force utilities to expand their distribution network which will have significant cost and environmental impact. Based on an extensive review of the research articles that aimed to address these challenges, this work proposes a novel mixed integer linear programming model that specifies the optimal sizing and allocation of on-board batteries, fast chargers, energy storage systems and renewable energy resources while maintaining current operation schedules, number of buses, interlining capability as required by the transit operators. Moreover, the developed model accounts for power distribution network constraints, battery characteristics and emission reduction goals while minimizing the emissions tax and total utility charges. The results show the capability of the proposed model to decarbonize bus transit networks on-demand by considering incremental emission reduction targets. Capital expenditure is shown to be minimized to the best interest of cities considering both transit and electricity infrastructure perspectives.

description: Recent measurements suggest that extensive air showers initiated by ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) emit signals in the microwave band of the electromagnetic spectrum caused by the collisions of the free-electrons with the atmospheric neutral molecules in the plasma produced by the passage of the shower. Such emission is isotropic and could allow the detection of air showers with 100% duty cycle and a calorimetric-like energy measurement, a significant improvement over current detection techniques. We have built MIDAS (MIcrowave Detection of Air Showers), a prototype of microwave detector, which consists of a 4.5 m diameter antenna with a cluster of 53 feed-horns in the 4 GHz range. The details of the prototype and first results will be presented.

description: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of cells with potent immunosuppressive functions, which can inhibit the activation of immune responses under a steady-state condition and pathological conditions. We performed transcriptomic profiling of circulating CD33+HLA-DR+ myeloid antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and CD33+HLA-DR– myeloid cells (potentially MDSCs) in healthy individuals. We sorted both subpopulations from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 10 healthy donors and performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). We found that several signaling pathways associated with the positive regulation of immune responses, such as antigen presentation/processing, FcγR-mediated phagocytosis and immune cell trafficking, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling, DC maturation, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM1) signaling, nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) and IL-8 signaling were downregulated in CD33+HLA-DR– myeloid cells. In contrast, pathways implicated in tumor suppression and anti-inflammation, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), were upregulated in CD33+HLA-DR– myeloid cells. These data indicate that PPAR/PTEN axis could be upregulated in myeloid cells to keep the immune system in check in normal physiological conditions. Our data reveal some of the molecular and functional differences between CD33+HLA-DR+ APCs and CD33+HLA-DR– myeloid cells in a steady-state condition, reflecting the potential suppressive function of CD33+HLA-DR– myeloid cells to maintain immune tolerance. For future studies, the same methodological approach could be applied to perform transcriptomic profiling of myeloid subsets in pathological conditions.

description: Current research indicates that (sub)surface ocean worlds essentially devoid of subaerial landmasses (e.g., continents) are common in the Milky Way, and that these worlds could host habitable conditions, thence raising the possibility that life and technological intelligence (TI) may arise in such aquatic settings. It is known, however, that TI on Earth (i.e., humans) arose on land. Motivated by these considerations, we present a Bayesian framework to assess the prospects for the emergence of TIs in land- and ocean-based habitats (LBHs and OBHs). If all factors are equally conducive for TIs to arise in LBHs and OBHs, we demonstrate that the evolution of TIs in LBHs (which includes humans) might have very low odds of roughly $1$-in-$10^3$ to $1$-in-$10^4$, thus outwardly contradicting the Copernican Principle. Hence, we elucidate three avenues whereby the Copernican Principle can be preserved: (i) the emergence rate of TIs is much lower in OBHs, (ii) the habitability interval for TIs is much shorter in OBHs, and (iii) only a small fraction of worlds with OBHs comprise appropriate conditions for effectuating TIs. We also briefly discuss methods for empirically falsifying our predictions, and comment on the feasibility of supporting TIs in aerial environments.

description: In this paper, we have described the realities and prospects of the simulation training in the medical education through the discussion about main variants and forms of this advanced variant of healthcare studying progression. In medical education, advances like simulations, virtual patients, and e-learning have evolved as pedagogical strategies to facilitate an active, learner-centered teaching approach. Use of e-learning modules, patient surrogates such as virtual patients and virtual-reality simulators is needed especially in the time of this SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Simulators have shown to be as effective as live actor-patients for teaching purposes We concluded, increasingly integral to the practice of medicine, technology endeavors to streamline a clinician’s work and medical education, and to offer credible, easily accessible information. To enhance trainee growth and empower innovative scientific leaders, educators should play a crucial role in how technology transforms medical education.
