description: Northland Research, Inc. (Northland) has completed archaeological monitoring for the Grand Canal Radial Gate MCC 2-6.3 Improvement Project that took place on lands administered by the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR). The project's Area of Potential Effect (APE) is situated within the mapped boundaries of Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1[ASM]), a previously recorded prehistoric Hohokam village that is listed in the Arizona and National Registers of Historic Places (A/NRHP). The APE consists of the utility easement, which is located along the Grand Canal immediately south of the Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park, in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona. The legal description is the SW¼ of the NE¼ of Section 7, Township 1 North, Range 4 East, Gila and Salt River Baseline and Meridian (USGS Tempe, Ariz. 7.5' map) (Figure 1). The purpose of the project was to upgrade the existing equipment; it was conducted February 28 and 29, 2017. Impacts included the excavation of a 50-foot-long trench from the property line to the new mast location, a smaller (7-foot-long) trench to connect the main ·trench with an existing APS power pole, construction of a roughly 15-foot by IO-foot concrete pad for the new equipment mast, and removal of the old equipment.

description: The tiny graviton matrix theory [hep-th/0406214] is proposed to describe DLCQ of type IIB string theory on the maximally supersymmetric plane-wave or AdS_5xS^5 background. In this paper we provide further evidence in support of the tiny graviton conjecture by focusing on the zero energy, half BPS configurations of this matrix theory and classify all of them. These vacua are generically of the form of various three sphere giant gravitons. We clarify the connection between our solutions and the half BPS configuration in N=4 SYM theory and their gravity duals. Moreover, using our half BPS solutions, we show how the tiny graviton Matrix theory and the mass deformed D=3, N=8 superconformal field theories are related to each other.

description: We explore the cosmological consequences of the superconductivity of QCD axion strings. Axion strings can support a sizeable chiral electric current and charge, which alters their early universe dynamics. Shrinking axion string loops can become effectively stable remnants called vortons, supported by the electromagnetic force of the string current. Generically, vortons produced by axion strings overclose the universe, unless there are efficient current leakage processes. Furthermore, if a primordial magnetic field (PMF) exists in the early universe, a large current is induced on axion strings, creating a significant drag force from interactions with the surrounding plasma. As a result, the strings are slowed down, which leads to an orders of magnitude enhancement in the number of strings per Hubble volume. Finally, we study the implications for the QCD axion relic abundance. The QCD axion window is shifted by orders of magnitude in some parts of our parameter space.

description: It was shown by Kuperberg that the partition function of the square-ice model related to the quarter-turn symmetric alternating-sign matrices of even order is the product of two similar factors. We propose a square-ice model whose states are in bijection with the quarter-turn symmetric alternating-sign matrices of odd order, and show that the partition function of this model can be also written in a similar way. This allows to prove, in particular, the conjectures by Robbins related to the enumeration of the quarter-turn symmetric alternating-sign matrices.

description: We study five different types of the homology of a Lie algebra over a commutative ring which are naturally isomorphic over fields. We show that they are not isomorphic over commutative rings, even over $\mathbb Z,$ and study connections between them. In particular, we show that they are naturally isomorphic in the case of a Lie algebra which is flat as a module. As an auxiliary result we prove that the Koszul complex of a module $M$ over a principal ideal domain that connects the exterior and the symmetric powers $0\to Λ^n M\to M \otimes Λ^{n-1} M \to \dots \to S^{n-1}M \otimes M \to S^nM\to 0 $ is purely acyclic.
Temporal Distinguishability of an N-Photon State and Its Characterization by Quantum Interference
Creators: name: Ou, Z. Y.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a multi-mode model to describe an arbitrary N-photon state with a wide spectral range and some arbitrary temporal distribution. In general, some of the $N$ photons are spread out in time while other may overlap and become indistinguishable. From this model, we find that the temporal (in)distinguishability of photons is related to the exchange symmetry of the multi-photon wave function. We find that simple multi-photon detection scheme gives rise to a more general photon bunching effect with the famous two-photon effect as a special case. We then send this N-photon state into a recently discovered multi-photon interference scheme. We calculate the visibility of the multi-photon interference scheme and find that it is related to the temporal distinguishability of the $N$ photons. Maximum visibility of one is achieved for the indistinguishable N-photon state whereas the visibility degrades when some of the photons are separated and become distinguishable. Thus we can identify an experimentally measurable quantity that may quantitatively define the degree of indistinguishability of an N-photon state. This presents a quantitative demonstration of the complementary principle of quantum interference.

Salt River Project (SRP) plans to construct a substation within a rectangular shaped, 310- by 360-foot area within the SW¼, SW¼, SW¼, NW¼ of Section 8, Township 2 South, Range 7 East (USGS Higley, Ariz. 7.5' 1956/1981). The 2.5-acre Rohrig substation parcel (Parcel) is located at the northeast corner of Sossaman and Ryan Roads within an undeveloped, but disturbed segment of privately owned land.
The testing plan is consistent with the stipulations of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeological Documentation (Federal Register, 49 FR 44734-37) and takes into account the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's publication, Treatment of Archaeological Properties (1980). The testing plan includes an overview of the prehistoric cultural development in the eastern Phoenix Basin, and a work plan specifying the Phase I testing strategy and methods to be employed. Analytical methods that will be used to evaluate the recovered site data and artifacts are also presented. The work plan provides a schedule for the preparation of the Phase I testing report, which will document the findings and provide recommendations for any Phase II data recovery.

description: As the world is transitioning towards highly renewable energy systems, advanced tools are needed to analyze such complex networks. Energy system design is, however, challenged by real-world objective functions consisting of a blurry mix of technical and socioeconomic agendas, with limitations that cannot always be clearly stated. As a result, it is highly likely that solutions which are techno-economically suboptimal will be preferable. Here, we present a method capable of determining the continuum containing all techno-economically near-optimal solutions, moving the field of energy system modeling from discrete solutions to a new era where continuous solution ranges are available. The presented method is applied to study a range of technical and socioeconomic metrics on a model of the European electricity system. The near-optimal region is found to be relatively flat allowing for solutions that are slightly more expensive than the optimum but better in terms of equality, land use, and implementation time.

Likelihood approach for marginal proportional hazards regression in the presence of dependent censoring

description: In many public health problems, an important goal is to identify the effect of some treatment/intervention on the risk of failure for the whole population. A marginal proportional hazards regression model is often used to analyze such an effect. When dependent censoring is explained by many auxiliary covariates, we utilize two working models to condense high-dimensional covariates to achieve dimension reduction. Then the estimator of the treatment effect is obtained by maximizing a pseudo-likelihood function over a sieve space. Such an estimator is shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal when either of the two working models is correct; additionally, when both working models are correct, its asymptotic variance is the same as the semiparametric efficiency bound.

description: We study gate field effects on the Mn$_{12}$O$_{12}$(COOH)$_{16}$(H$_2$O)$_4$ | graphene | GaAs heterostructure via first-principles calculations. We find that under moderate doping levels electrons can be added to but not taken from the single-molecule magnet Mn$_{12}$O$_{12}$(COOH)$_{16}$(H$_2$O)$_4$ (Mn$_{12}$). The magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of Mn$_{12}$ decreases as the electron doping level increases, due to electron transfer from graphene to Mn$_{12}$ and change in the band alignment between Mn$_{12}$ and graphene. At an electron doping level of $-5.00 \times 10^{13}\, \textrm{cm}^{-2}$, the MAE decreases by about 18% compared with zero doping. The band alignment between graphene and GaAs is more sensitive to electron doping than to hole doping since the valence band of GaAs is close to the Fermi level. The GaAs substrate induces a small bandgap in the supported graphene under the zero gate field and a nearly strain-free configuration. Finally, we propose a vertical tunnel junction for probing the gate dependence of MAE via electron transport measurements.

description: Phase separation between two fluids in two-dimensions is investigated by means of Direct Numerical Simulations of coupled Navier-Stokes and Cahn-Hilliard equations. We study the phase ordering process in the presence of an external stirring acting on the velocity field. For both active and passive mixtures we find that, for a sufficiently strong stirring, coarsening is arrested in a stationary dynamical state characterized by a continuous rupture and formation of finite domains. Coarsening arrest is shown to be independent of the chaotic or regular nature of the flow.

description: Autonomous driving is challenging in adverse road and weather conditions in which there might not be lane lines, the road might be covered in snow and the visibility might be poor. We extend the previous work on end-to-end learning for autonomous steering to operate in these adverse real-life conditions with multimodal data. We collected 28 hours of driving data in several road and weather conditions and trained convolutional neural networks to predict the car steering wheel angle from front-facing color camera images and lidar range and reflectance data. We compared the CNN model performances based on the different modalities and our results show that the lidar modality improves the performances of different multimodal sensor-fusion models. We also performed on-road tests with different models and they support this observation.

Observable Effects of Dust Formation in Dynamic Atmospheres of M-type Mira Variables

description: The formation of dust with temperature-dependent non-grey opacity is considered in a series of self-consistent model atmospheres at different phases of an O-rich Mira variable of mass 1.2 $M_\odot$. Photometric and interferometric properties of these models are predicted under different physical assumptions regarding the dust formation. The iron content of the initial silicate that forms and the availability of grain nuclei are found to be critical parameters that affect the observable properties. In particular, parameters were found where dust would form at 2-3 times the average continuum photospheric radius. This work provides a consistent physical explanation for the larger apparent size of Mira variables at wavelengths shorter than 1 $μ$m than that predicted by dust free fundamental-mode pulsation models.

Expert nurses’ decision-making regarding intravenous patient controlled analgesia
Creators: name: McLeod, Barbara Elaine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Little is known about how expert nurses make decisions regarding IV PCA therapy and the factors and/or barriers affecting those decisions. The purpose of this research was to examine how expert nurses manage acute postoperative pain using the modality of IV PCA, and the processes nurses use to make decisions about IV PCA therapy in day-to-day clinical practice. The qualitative method of noncategorical, interpretive description guided the study. Seven participants were recruited via a process of nomination. Data collection included a modified think-aloud technique and post-think aloud interviews. Data were transcribed verbatim and analysis involved data inductively produced from the interviews and think aloud statements. A reflexive journal was used to provide insight into decisions made by the researcher and the rationale for making those decisions. The study generated six conclusive statements. (1) Nurses make a distinction between having IV PCA expertise and being an expert nurse in IV PCA therapy. (2) Nursing knowledge related to pain management and IV PCA, clinical judgment, and clinical reasoning are intimately interconnected and contribute to nurses' decision-making and pain management outcomes. (3) Three types of decisions are used (a) immediately intervene, (b) wait and watch with potential intervention at a later time, and (c) to do nothing. (4) Personal and institutional factors influence all of these decisions. (5) Pain management outcomes resulting from the nurses' decisions in regard to IV PCA were usually less than optimal. (6) Nurses do not consistently implement physicians' standing prn orders within the specified time frames to optimally manage acute postoperative pain using IV PCA. Implications of this research focus largely on the need for development and commitment to pain management standards of care (both generic and for IV PCA) and ongoing education around pain management. Further research is indicated to monitor and evaluate the outcomes of IV PCA.
Differential Dynamic Programming with Nonlinear Safety Constraints Under System Uncertainties

description: Safe operation of systems such as robots requires them to plan and execute trajectories subject to safety constraints. When those systems are subject to uncertainties in their dynamics, it is challenging to ensure that the constraints are not violated. In this paper, we propose Safe-CDDP, a safe trajectory optimization and control approach for systems under additive uncertainties and non-linear safety constraints based on constrained differential dynamic programming (DDP). The safety of the robot during its motion is formulated as chance constraints with user-chosen probabilities of constraint satisfaction. The chance constraints are transformed into deterministic ones in DDP formulation by constraint tightening. To avoid over-conservatism during constraint tightening, linear control gains of the feedback policy derived from the constrained DDP are used in the approximation of closed-loop uncertainty propagation in prediction. The proposed algorithm is empirically evaluated on three different robot dynamics with up to 12 degrees of freedom in simulation. The computational feasibility and applicability of the approach are demonstrated with a physical hardware implementation.

description: Here we perform the Kaluza-Klein dimensional reduction from $D+1$ to $D$ dimensions of massless Lagrangians described by a symmetric rank-2 tensor and invariant under transverse differmorphisms (TDiff). They include the linearized Einstein-Hilbert theory, linearized unimodular gravity and scalar tensor models. We obtain simple expressions in terms of gauge invariant field combinations and show that unitarity is preserved in all cases. After fixing a gauge, the reduced model becomes a massive scalar tensor theory. We show that the diffeomorphism (Diff) symmetry, instead of TDiff, is a general feature of the massless sector of consistent massive scalar tensor models. We discuss some subtleties when eliminating Stückelberg fields directly at action level as gauge conditions. We also show that the reduced models all have a smooth massless limit. A non local connection between the massless sector of the scalar tensor theory and the pure tensor TDiff model leads to a parametrization of the non conserved source which naturally separates spin-0 and spin-2 contributions in the pure tensor theory. The case of curved backgrounds is also investigated. If we truncate the non minimal couplings to linear terms in the curvature, vector and scalar constraints require Einstein spaces as in the Diff and WTDiff (Weyl plus Diff) cases. We prove that our linearized massive scalar tensor models admit those curved background extensions.

Non-perturbative approach to high-index-contrast variations in electromagnetic systems

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: We present a method that formally calculates \emph{exact} frequency shifts of an electromagnetic field for arbitrary changes in the refractive index. The possible refractive index changes include both anisotropic changes and boundary shifts. Degenerate eigenmode frequencies pose no problems in the presented method. The approach relies on operator algebra to derive an equation for the frequency shifts, which eventually turn out in a simple and physically sound form. Numerically the equations are well-behaved, easy implementable, and can be solved very fast. Like in perturbation theory a reference system is first considered, which then subsequently is used to solve another related, but different system. For our method precision is only limited by the reference system basis functions and the error induced in frequency is of second order for first-order basis set error. As an example we apply our method to the problem of variations in the air-hole diameter in a photonic crystal fiber.

description: A multi-region, multi-sector global intertemporal general equilibrium model is constructed to analyze dynamic adjustments following the establishment of the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR). The study focuses on regional trade integration effects as well as third party spillover effects. By taking into account both transitional and steady state adjustments in consumption, production, and investments, we observe significant shifts of trade diversion away from the non-member trading partners to the member countries. We also find that, following the MERCOSUR's common external tariffication, growth of intra trade would likely be accompanied by increases in trade between Mercosur and other countries.

description: The search for artificial topological superconductivity has been limited by the stringent conditions required for its emergence. As exemplified by the recent discoveries of various correlated electronic states in twisted van der Waals materials, moiré patterns can act as a powerful knob to create artificial electronic structures. Here, we demonstrate that a moiré pattern between a van der Waals superconductor and a monolayer ferromagnet creates a periodic potential modulation that enables the realization of a topological superconducting state that would not be accessible in the absence of the moiré. The magnetic moiré pattern gives rise to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov minibands and periodic modulation of the Majorana edge modes that we detect using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). Moiré patterns and, more broadly, periodic potential modulations are powerful tools to overcome the conventional constrains for realizing and controlling topological superconductivity.

A simulation of case management operations at the Workers' Compensation Board: a decision support tool for human resource allocation
Creators: name: Lin, Claire
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The challenges in human resource allocation drive the present project. Conducted at an office of the Workers' Compensation Board of British Columbia (the WCB), the project aims at developing a simulation model of claim management operations to facilitate decision-making in resource allocation. In this context, resource allocation refers to the alignment of staff to claims. The components of the problem include the number of staff required and the types of staff required, given targeted system performance. The volume of claims, the profile of claims, the Workers Compensation Act, the board's business guidelines and the board's operational targets all influence staffing requirement. It is far from straightforward to answer the following questions: what is the optimal level of staffing? What is the right mix of skills? And what is the proper alignment of staff with claims? How will the system perform given a certain staffing level? How will change in the profile of incoming claims influence staffing requirement? A discrete-event simulation model was developed as a decision support tool in this project. The model was used to evaluate several resource allocation scenarios. Simulation showed that timeliness measures such as time to decision and time to closure would improve with additional resources, but the improvement was not drastic. At the staffing level of 14, compared to the current level of 12, time to decision for unadjudicated claims would reduce by 6%. Simulation further showed that specialization of staff by claim type might have a negative impact on system performance measures, because economics of scale were compromised. Finally, simulation showed that if Site Visits, a required procedure for adjudicating claims related to Activity-Related Soft Tissue Diseases, could be conducted by dedicated personnel, time to decision for these claims might reduce by as high as 60%.

description: We study the non-equilibrium noise in mesoscopic diffusive wires hosting magnetic impurities. We find that the shot-noise to current ratio develops a peak at intermediate source-drain biases of the order of the Kondo temperature. The enhanced impurity contribution at intermediate biases is also manifested in the effective distribution. The predicted peak represents increased inelastic scattering rate at the non-equilibrium Kondo crossover.

description: Cooperative formation and control of autonomous vehicles (AVs) promise increased efficiency and safety on public roads. In mixed traffic flow consisting of AVs and human-driven vehicles (HDVs), the prevailing platooning of multiple AVs is not the only choice for cooperative formation. In this paper, we investigate how different formations of AVs impact traffic performance from a set-function optimization perspective. We first reveal a stability invariance property and a diminishing improvement property of noncooperative formation when AVs adopt typical Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) strategies. Then, we focus on the case of cooperative formation where the AV controllers are cooperatively designed %redesign the control strategies of AVs in different formations and investigate the optimal formation of multiple AVs using set-function optimization. Two predominant optimal formations, i.e., uniform distribution and platoon formation, emerge from extensive numerical experiments. Interestingly, platooning might have the least potential to improve traffic performance when HDVs have poor string stability behavior. These results suggest more opportunities for cooperative formation of AVs, beyond platooning, in practical mixed traffic flow.

Hadronic EDM Constraints on Orbifold GUTs

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We point out that the null results of the hadronic electric dipole moment (EDM) searches constrain orbifold grand unified theories (GUTs), where the GUT symmetry and supersymmetry (SUSY) are both broken by boundary conditions in extra dimensions and it leads to rich fermion and sfermion flavor structures. A marginal chromoelectric dipole moment (CEDM) of the up quark is induced by the misalignment between the CP violating left- and right-handed up-type squark mixings, in contrast to the conventional four-dimensional SUSY GUTs. The up quark CEDM constraint is found to be as strong as those from charged lepton flavor violation (LFV) searches. The interplay between future EDM and LFV experiments will probe the structures of the GUTs and the SUSY breaking mediation mechanism.

description: Part of Lithuania's inheritance from the centrally planned economy of the former Soviet Union is its inefficient food processing sector, which bears much responsibility for the low competitiveness of domestic vis-à-vis imported food products. This harms the food industry itself as well as the entire agricultural sector. Consequently improvements in agriculture will only occur when efforts to increase the efficiency and technological performance of food processing bring significant results. Based on the structure-conduct-performance framework developed by the economic theory of industrial organisation, the objective of the present discussion paper is to identify those economic conditions that are giving rise to the low degree of competitiveness of Lithuania's food industry. The analysis shows that, although major progress has been made in macroeconomic stabilisation, privatisation and institution building, the efficiency and performance of this important part of the Lithuanian agro-food chain are far from perfect. Current problems of the Lithuanian food industry that result in low profitability in the food industry are increasing input costs, low labour productivity, low investment activities, excess capacities and a lack of market orientation. The main causes for these are unfavourable interest rates on bank loans, an inadequate tax regime, ineffective corporate governance in privatised firms, and deficiencies in institution-building and implementation of institutions.
Lattice regularisation and entanglement structure of the Gross-Neveu model

description: We construct a Hamiltonian lattice regularisation of the $N$-flavour Gross-Neveu model that manifestly respects the full $\mathsf{O}(2N)$ symmetry, preventing the appearance of any unwanted marginal perturbations to the quantum field theory. In the context of this lattice model, the dynamical mass generation is intimately related to the Coleman-Mermin-Wagner and Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem. In particular, the model can be interpreted as lying at the first order phase transition line between a trivial and symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase, which explains the degeneracy of the elementary kink excitations. We show that our Hamiltonian model can be solved analytically in the large $N$ limit, producing the correct expression for the mass gap. Furthermore, we perform extensive numerical matrix product state simulations for $N=2$, thereby recovering the emergent Lorentz symmetry and the proper non-perturbative mass gap scaling in the continuum limit. Finally, our simulations also reveal how the continuum limit manifests itself in the entanglement spectrum. As expected from conformal field theory we find two conformal towers, one tower spanned by the linear representations of $\mathsf{O}(4)$, corresponding to the trivial phase, and the other by the projective (i.e. spinor) representations, corresponding to the SPT phase.

On the high order multiplicity moments

description: The description of multiplicity distributions in terms of the ratios of cumulants to factorial moments is analyzed both for data and for the Monte Carlo generated events. For the PYTHIA generated events the moments are investigated for the restricted range of phase-space and for the jets reconstructed from single particle momenta. The results cast doubts on the validity of extended local parton-hadron duality and suggest the possibility of more effective experimental investigations concerning the origin of the observed structure in the dependence of moments on their order.

Robust MPC with data-driven demand forecasting for frequency regulation with heat pumps

description: With the increased amount of volatile renewable energy sources connected to the electricity grid, and the phase-out of fossil fuel based power plants, there is an increased need for frequency regulation. On the demand side, frequency regulation services can be offered by buildings or districts that are equipped with electric heating or cooling systems, by exploiting their thermal inertia. Existing approaches for tapping into this potential typically rely on dynamic building models, which in practice can be challenging to obtain and maintain. As a result, practical implementations of such systems are scarce. Moreover, actively controlling buildings requires extensive control infrastructure and may cause privacy concerns in district energy systems. Motivated by this, we exploit the thermal inertia of buffer storage for reserves, reducing the building models to demand forecasts here. By combining a control scheme based on Robust Model Predictive Control, with affine policies, and heating demand forecasting based on Artificial Neural Networks with online correction methods, we offer frequency regulation reserves and maintain user comfort with a system comprising a heat pump and buffer storage. While the robust approach ensures occupant comfort, the use of affine policies reduces the effect of disturbance uncertainty on the system state. In a first-of-its-kind experiment with a real district-like building energy system, we demonstrate that the scheme is able to offer reserves in a variety of conditions and track a regulation signal while meeting the heating demand of the connected buildings. 13.4% of the consumed electricity is flexible. In additional numerical studies, we demonstrate that using affine policies significantly decreases the cost function and increases the amount of offered reserves and we investigate the suboptimality in comparison to an omniscient control system.
