description: We analyze the nonlinear optical response of a four-level atomic system driven into a tripod configuration. The large cross-Kerr nonlinearities that occurr in such a system are shown to produce nonlinear phase shift of order $π$. Such a substantial shift may be observed in a cold atomic gas in a magneto-optical trap where it coupl be fasibly exploited towards the realization of a polarization quantum phase gate. The experimental feasibility of such a gate is here examined in detail.

description: A large portion of passenger requests is reportedly unserviced, partially due to vacant for-hire drivers' cruising behavior during the passenger seeking process. This paper aims to model the multi-driver repositioning task through a mean field multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) approach that captures competition among multiple agents. Because the direct application of MARL to the multi-driver system under a given reward mechanism will likely yield a suboptimal equilibrium due to the selfishness of drivers, this study proposes a reward design scheme with which a more desired equilibrium can be reached. To effectively solve the bilevel optimization problem with upper level as the reward design and the lower level as a multi-agent system, a Bayesian optimization (BO) algorithm is adopted to speed up the learning process. We then apply the bilevel optimization model to two case studies, namely, e-hailing driver repositioning under service charge and multiclass taxi driver repositioning under NYC congestion pricing. In the first case study, the model is validated by the agreement between the derived optimal control from BO and that from an analytical solution. With a simple piecewise linear service charge, the objective of the e-hailing platform can be increased by 8.4%. In the second case study, an optimal toll charge of $5.1 is solved using BO, which improves the objective of city planners by 7.9%, compared to that without any toll charge. Under this optimal toll charge, the number of taxis in the NYC central business district is decreased, indicating a better traffic condition, without substantially increasing the crowdedness of the subway system.

description: With global warming becoming an increasingly prominent problem in the world, the value of reducing greenhouse gases has become crucial. It is thought that the CIRS building at the University of British Columbia (UBC) has the potential for encouraging pro-environmental behaviors as it is an environmentally sustainable building with “end of trip” facilities. The current study attempted to answer the following research question: “Are UBC students/staff found in the CIRS building more likely to utilize active transportation than a control building (Kenny) due to the additional available facilities supporting active transport?” Researchers gathered surveys from student and faculty member participants from both the CIRS building and the Kenny Building (control variable). Results were gathered from with surveys, including self-reports from students and UBC staff members. The results showed there were no significant correlations between the use of sustainability buildings and environmentally conscious behaviors or in the use of active transportation. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: Over fields of characteristic zero, there are well known construction of the irreducible representations and of irreducible modules, called Specht modules for the symmetric groups $S_{n}$ which are based on elegant combinatorial concepts connected with Young tableaux etc.(see, e.g.[10]). James [8] extended these ideas to construct irreducible representations and modules over arbitrary field. Al-Aamily, Morris and Peel [ 1 ] showed how this construction could be extended to deal with the Weyl groups of type $B_{n}$. In [11] the second author described a possible extension of James' work for Weyl groups in general, where Young tableaux are interpreted in terms of root systems. We now modify these results and give an alternative generalisation of James' work which is an improvement and extension of the original approach suggested by Morris.

description: The primary interest of this study is on the oil industry in Iraq, its development and some aspects of its effects on Iraq's economy. Before stating the problem in more explicit terms, it would be well to sketch briefly something of the background of the subject. The international oil industry has provided a broad field for study. It has been the subject of numerous books and articles and countless treatises. Many political and economic aspects of the industry's operations have been surveyed, investigated and analyzed in considerable detail. It has often been a source of controversial treatment in such writings, and has aroused conflicts between the individuals, business and governments concerned with it. This is true particularly of the oil industry in the Middle East. Among other things, during the past fifty or more years, the rivalry for coveted oil concessions in the area helped to intensify the political and economic rivalries of various foreign governments. Because of the industry's association with the colonial past and its inevitable involvement with the foreign policies of the Western nations, it has usually symbolized "imperialism" to the people of the Middle East. Recent rising nationalism and new found sovereignty have made the oil-rich nations of the area more aware of the potential of these wealthy resources and in turn more suspicious of foreign producers. In Iran, the feeling against the foreigner ran rampant, leading to expropriation and nationalization of the industry, as well as to economic disaster for a time. However, in Iraq, the area of this study, a compromise was effected recently which permits the government to share as an equal partner with the foreign oil companies in the profits of the industry's local operations. This new relationship between the Iraq government and the oil industry offers fruitful ground for examination of some of the aspects of direct foreign investment in underdeveloped countries. This study is concerned with Iraq's evolvement to its present status as a co-partner with the foreign oil investors and the economics advantages that have accrued to the country from the development of its oil resources.

description: We connect the weak measurements framework to the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics. We show how Feynman propagators can in principle be experimentally inferred from weak value measurements. We also obtain expressions for weak values parsing unambiguously the quantum and the classical aspects of weak couplings between a system and a probe. These expressions are shown to be useful in quantum chaos related studies (an illustration involving quantum scars is given), and also in solving current weak-value related controversies (we discuss the existence of discontinuous trajectories in interferometers and the issue of anomalous weak values in the classical limit).

description: We give a definition of mass for conformally compactifiable initial data sets. The asymptotic conditions are compatible with existence of gravitational radiation, and the compactifications are allowed to be polyhomogeneous. We show that the resulting mass is a geometric invariant, and we prove positivity thereof in the case of a spherical conformal infinity. When R(g) - or, equivalently, the trace of the extrinsic curvature tensor - tends to a negative constant to order one at infinity, the definition is expressed purely in terms of three-dimensional or two-dimensional objects.

description: We consider the problem of estimating expectations by using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods and improving the accuracy by replacing IID uniform random points with quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) points. Recently, it has been shown that Markov chain QMC remains consistent when the driving sequences are completely uniformly distributed (CUD). However, the definition of CUD sequences is not constructive, so an implementation method using short-period Tausworthe generators (i.e., linear feedback shift register generators over the two-element field) that approximate CUD sequences has been proposed. In this paper, we conduct an exhaustive search of short-period Tausworthe generators for Markov chain QMC in terms of the $t$-value, which is a criterion of uniformity widely used in the study of QMC methods. We provide a parameter table of Tausworthe generators and show the effectiveness in numerical examples using Gibbs sampling.

description: Several agricultural economists have suggested that agricultural models could be improved by capturing all of the linkages between agriculture and the rest of the economy. In this study, a new multi—sector macroeconomic model is used to compare the forecasting abilities of first, second, and third generation agricultural simulation models. This study finds that forecasting errors can be reduced and a wider range of questions can be addressed by models that simultaneously solve for the agricultural and nonagricultural sectors of the economy.

description: Carientothrips acti Mound, 1974 a: 25
(Figs 29, 38)
 This species appears to be widespread in Eucalyptus leaf-litter in south-eastern Australia. It has been taken commonly around Canberra, but has also been seen from southern New South Wales, Victoria (including Mallacoota on the southern coast), Kangaroo Island in South Australia, and also southeast Queensland, Mt. Coottha, Brisbane. Only one macropterous individual has been seen, a female from South Australia near Keith. Mound (1974b) referred to the “ acti -species group”, comprising japonicus, pictilis, reedi and vesper, but this is a poorly defined group, and two further species, semirufus and loisthus, are also rather similar in having a relatively long head and slender body.
 Diagnosis. Apterous, rarely macropterous, body brown, or with head and thorax paler; head long, reticulate on ocellar region and laterally, ocelli absent, postocellar setae slender and acute, postocular stout and capitate, maxillary stylets less than 0.3 of head width apart and retracted to eyes, maxillary palp segment I 2.5–3 times as long as wide, segment II 0.5–0.7 as long as I; eyes well developed dorsally but small ventrally with only 4–5 visible ommatidia; antennal segment III with sharp-edged swelling near base (Fig. 29). Pronotal notopleural sutures incomplete, am setae minute. Metanotum with several small setae anteromedially (Fig. 38). Pelta wide with broadly flattened median lobe; tube shorter than head. Male smaller than female, with small fore tarsal tooth.

Dynamical Stability of Earth-Like Planetary Orbits in Binary Systems

description: This paper explores the stability of an Earth-like planet orbiting a solar mass star in the presence of an outer-lying intermediate mass companion. The overall goal is to estimate the fraction of binary systems that allow Earth-like planets to remain stable over long time scales. We numerically determine the planet's ejection time $\tauej$ over a range of companion masses ($M_C$ = 0.001 -- 0.5 $M_\odot$), orbital eccentricities $ε$, and semi-major axes $a$. This suite of $\sim40,000$ numerical experiments suggests that the most important variables are the companion's mass $M_C$ and periastron distance $\rmin$ = $a(1-ε)$ to the primary star. At fixed $M_C$, the ejection time is a steeply increasing function of $\rmin$ over the range of parameter space considered here (although the ejection time has a distribution of values for a given $\rmin$). Most of the integration times are limited to 10 Myr, but a small set of integrations extend to 500 Myr. For each companion mass, we find fitting formulae that approximate the mean ejection time as a function of $\rmin$. These functions can then be extrapolated to longer time scales. By combining the numerically determined ejection times with the observed distributions of orbital parameters for binary systems, we estimate that (at least) 50 percent of binaries allow an Earth-like planet to remain stable over the 4.6 Gyr age of our solar system.

description: We study quantum effects in Higgs inflation in the Palatini formulation of gravity, in which the metric and connection are treated as independent variables. We exploit the fact that the cutoff, above which perturbation theory breaks down, is higher than the scale of inflation. Unless new physics above the cutoff leads to unnaturally large corrections, we can directly connect low-energy physics and inflation. On the one hand, the lower bound on the top Yukawa coupling due to collider experiments leads to an upper bound on the non-minimal coupling of the Higgs field to gravity: $ξ\lesssim 10^8$. On the other hand, the Higgs potential can only support successful inflation if $ξ\gtrsim 10^6$. This leads to a fairly strict upper bound on the top Yukawa coupling of $0.925$ (defined in the $\overline{\text{MS}}$-scheme at the energy scale $173.2\,\text{GeV}$) and constrains the inflationary prediction for the tensor-to-scalar ratio. Additionally, we compare our findings to metric Higgs inflation.

This Poisson structure arises in the combinatorial description of the phase space of Chern-Simons theory with gauge group $G\ltimes\mathfrak{g}^*$ on $R \times S_{g,n}$, where S_{g,n} is a surface of genus g with n punctures. The quantisation of this Poisson structure is a key step in the quantisation of Chern-Simons theory with gauge group $G\ltimes\mathfrak{g}^*$. We construct the quantum algebra and its irreducible representations and show that the quantum double D(G) of the group G arises naturally as a symmetry of the quantum algebra.

description: Macromolecular diffusion in strongly confined geometries and crowded environments is still to a large extent an open subject in soft matter physics and biology. In this paper, we employ large-scale Langevin dynamics simulations to investigate how the diffusion of a tracer is influenced by the combined action of excluded-volume and weak attractive crowder-tracer interactions. We consider two species of tracers, standard hard-core particles described by the Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) repulsive potential and core-softened (CS) particles, which model, e.g., globular proteins, charged colloids and nanoparticles covered by polymeric brushes. These systems are characterized by the presence of two length scales in the interaction and can show water-like anomalies in their diffusion, stemming from the inherent competition between different length scales. Here we report a comprehensive study of both diffusion and structure of these two tracer species in an environment crowded by quenched configurations of polymers at increasing density. We analyze in detail how the tracer-polymer affinity and the system density affect transport as compared to the emergence of specific static spatial correlations. In particular, we find that, while hardly any differences emerge in the diffusion properties of WCA and CS particles, the propensity to develop structural order for large crowding is strongly frustrated for CS particles. Surprisingly, for large enough affinity for the crowding matrix, the diffusion coefficient of WCA tracers display a non-monotonic trend as their density is increased when compared to the zero affinity scenario. This water-like anomaly turns out to be even larger than what observed for CS particle and appears to be rooted in a similar competition between excluded-volume and affinity effects.

description: Gravitational lensing caused by the gravitational field of massive objects has been studied and acknowledged for a long period of time. In this paper, however, we propose a different mechanism where the bending of light stems from the non-linear interaction of gravitational, electromagnetic and axion waves that creates the high curvature zone in the space-time fabric. The striking distinction in the present study is that in contrast to the convex lensing in the gravitational field of a massive object, hyperbolic nature of the high curvature zone of the background space-time may give rise to concave lensing. Expectedly detection of this kind of lensing becomes possible through satellite detectors.

description: Deep learning neural network technique (DNN) is one of the most efficient and general approach of multivariate data analysis of the collider experiments. The important step of the analysis is the optimization of the input space for multivariate technique. In the article we propose the general recipe how to form the set of low-level observables sensitive for the differences in hard scattering processes at the colliders. It is shown in the paper that without any sophisticated analysis of the kinematic properties one can achieve close to optimal performance of DNN with the proposed general set of low-level observables.

description: We observe that a mesoscopic field made of several tens of microwave photons exhibits quantum features when interacting with a single Rydberg atom in a high-Q cavity. The field is split into two components whose phases differ by an angle inversely proportional to the square root of the average photon number. The field and the atomic dipole are phase-entangled. These manifestations of photon graininess vanish at the classical limit. This experiment opens the way to studies of large Schrodinger cat states at the quantum-classical boundary.

description: The Teff location of Pre-Main Sequence (PMS) evolutionary tracks depends on the treatment of over-adiabaticity. Since the convection penetrates into the stellar atmosphere, also the treatment of convection in the modeling of stellar atmospheres will affect the location of the Hayashi tracks. We present new non-grey PMS tracks for Teff>4000 K. We compute several grids of evolutionary tracks varying: 1. the treatment of convection: either the Mixing Length Theory (MLT) or Canuto et al. (1996, CGM) treatment; 2.the atmospheric boundary conditions: we use the new Vienna grids of ATLAS9 atmospheres (Heiter et al. 2002a), which were computed using either MLT (with alpha=Lambda/Hp=0.5) or CGM treatments. We compute as well grids of models with the NextGen (Allard & Hauschildt 1997) atmosphere models, and a 1 Msun grey MLT evolutionary track using the alpha calibration based on 2D-hydrodynamical models (Ludwig et al. 1999)}. These different grids of models allow us to analyze the effects of convection modeling on the non--grey PMS evolutionary tracks. We conclude that: 1. In spite of the solar calibration, if MLT convection is adopted a large uncertainty results in the shape and location of PMS tracks. 2. As long as the model of convection is not the same in the interior and in the atmosphere the optical depth at which we take the boundary conditions is an additional parameter of the models. 3. The comparison between NextGen and ATLAS9 based models shows that, in the Teff domain they have in common (4000--10000K), the PMS location is mainly determined by the treatment of the over-adiabatic convection. 4. Comparison with observations indicates that, for any convection model and for any of the atmosphere grids, convection in the PMS phase appears to be less efficient than what is necessary in order to fit the Sun.

description: We investigate the cosmological viability of the generalized proca theory. We first implement the background and linear perturbation equations of motion in the Boltzmann code and then study the constraints on the parameters of the generalized proca theory after running MCMC against the cosmological data set. With Planck + HST data, we obtain the constraint $h=0.7334_{-0.0269}^{+0.0246}$, which indicates that the tension between early universe and late time universe within this theory is removed. By adding other late-time data sets (BAO, RSD, etc.) we show that the tension is reduced, as the 2$σ$ allowed region for $h$ in Proca, $h=0.7041_{-0.0087}^{+0.0094}$, overlaps with the 2$σ$ region of the HST data.

On the interplay of object animacy and verb type during sentence comprehension in German: ERP evidence from the processing of transitive dative and accusative constructions

description: Comprehension of transitive sentences relies on different kinds of information, like word order, case marking, and animacy contrasts between arguments. When no formal cues like case marking or number congruency are available, a contrast in animacy helps the parser to decide which argument is the grammatical subject and which the object. Processing costs are enhanced when neither formal cues nor animacy contrasts are available in a transitive sentence. We present an ERP study on the comprehension of grammatical transitive German sentences, manipulating animacy contrasts between subjects and objects as well as the verbal case marking pattern. Our study shows strong object animacy effects even in the absence of violations, and in addition suggests that this effect of object animacy is modulated by the verbal case marking pattern.
An Evaluation of the Development of Income Taxation in Thailand

Subjects: classificationCode: 4407
subject: Policy and administration

description: It is generally recognized today that taxation cannot be treated merely as the instrument with which to pay the ordinary and regular expenses of the Government. This is due to the fact that taxation has effects on consumption, investment, production, employment and income. When taxation is properly introduced in co-ordination with other instruments, monetary for instance, it can constructively and beneficially contribute to the development of the economy.

Standing Desk Wellbeing Analysis : The Effects of Standing Desks and Greenery in the Workplace

description: The primary focus of this study was to investigate the effects of standing desk usage and exposure to greenery in the workplace at the University of British Columbia (UBC). We specifically focused on how these two independent variables interacted with happiness, productivity, social connectedness, and well-being among employees in the Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS) on UBC campus. Our results were based on data collected via self-report questionnaire, Stroop Test trials, and a blood pressure/heart rate monitor. Participants were divided into three conditions depending on the set-up of their work station: 1) use of a standing desk and visual exposure to greenery (Desks and Plants) , 2) no use of a standing desk but with visual exposure to greenery (Plants Only), and 3) neither standing desk nor greenery (No Desks or Plants). Ultimately, we found that those who use standing desks and who are exposed to plant life are slightly more likely to report higher levels of well-being in all respects. However, these differences were not significant enough for us to confidently conclude that these two independent variables have a distinct psychological or physical benefit among employees.

description: The $ΛΛ$-$ΞN$-$ΣΣ$ coupling in $^{~6}_{ΛΛ}$He is studied with the [$α$ + $Λ$ + $Λ$] + [$α$ + $Ξ$ + $N$] + [$α$ + $Σ$ + $Σ$] model, where the $α$ particle is assumed as a frozen core. We use the Nijmegen soft-core potentials, NSC97e and NSC97f, for the valence baryon-baryon part, and the phenomenological potentials for the $α-B$ parts ($B$=$N$, $Λ$, $Ξ$ and $Σ$). We find that the calculated $ΔB_{ΛΛ}$ of $^{~6}_{ΛΛ}$He for NSC97e and NSC97f are, respectively, 0.6 and 0.4 MeV in the full coupled-channel calculation, the results of which are about half in comparison with the experimental data, $ΔB^{exp}_{ΛΛ}=1.01\pm0.20^{+0.18}_{-0.11}$ MeV. Characteristics of the $S=-2$ sector in the NSC97 potentials are discussed in detail.

RXTE, ROSAT and ASCA Observations of G347.3-0.5 (RX J1713.7-3946): Probing Cosmic Ray Acceleration by a Galactic Shell-Type Supernova Remnant

description: (Abridged) We present an analysis of the X-ray spectrum of the Galactic shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) G347.3-0.5 (RX J1713.7-3946). By performing a joint spectral analysis of data from observations made of G347.3-0.5 using the ROSAT PSPC, the ASCA GIS and the RXTE PCA, we have fit the spectra of particular regions of this SNR (including the bright northwestern and southwestern rims, the northeastern rim and the interior diffuse emission) over the approximate energy range of 0.5 through 30 keV. Based on the parameters of the best fit to the spectra using the SRCUT model, we estimate the maximum energy of cosmic-ray electrons accelerated by the rims of G347.3-0.5 to be 19-25 TeV, assuming a magnetic field strength of 10 microGauss. We present a broadband (radio to gamma-ray) photon energy flux-spectrum for the northwestern rim of the SNR, using a synchrotron-inverse Compton model with a variable magnetic field strength to fit the spectrum. Our fit derived from this model yields a maximum energy of only 8.8 TeV for the accelerated cosmic-ray electrons and a magnetic field strength of 150 microGauss. However, our derived ratio of volumes for TeV emission and X-ray emission (approximately 1000) is too large to be physically acceptable. We argue that neither non-thermal bremsstrahlung nor neutral pion decay can adequately describe the TeV emission from this rim, and therefore the physical process responsible for this emission is currently uncertain. Finally, we compare the gross properties of G347.3-0.5 with other SNRs known to possess X-ray spectra dominated by non-thermal emission.

description: We present a high-field magnetization study of the $S$ = 1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain [PM Cu(NO$_3$)$_2$(H$_2$O)$_2$]$_n$. For this material, as result of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and a staggered $g$ tensor, the ground state is characterized by an anisotropic field-induced spin excitation gap and a staggered magnetization. Our data reveal the qualitatively different behavior in the directions of maximum and zero spin excitation gap. The data are analyzed via exact diagonalization of a linear spin chain with up to 20 sites and on basis of the Bethe ansatz equations, respectively. For both directions we find very good agreement between experimental data and theoretical calculations. We extract the magnetic coupling strength $J/k_B$ along the chain direction to 36.3(5) K and determine the field dependence of the staggered magnetization component $m_s$.
