First-principles kinetic Monte Carlo simulations for heterogeneous catalysis, applied to the CO oxidation at RuO2(110)

description: We describe a first-principles statistical mechanics approach enabling us to simulate the steady-state situation of heterogeneous catalysis. In a first step density-functional theory together with transition-state theory is employed to obtain the energetics of all relevant elementary processes. Subsequently the statistical mechanics problem is solved by the kinetic Monte Carlo method, which fully accounts for the correlations, fluctuations, and spatial distributions of the chemicals at the surface of the catalyst under steady-state conditions. Applying this approach to the catalytic oxidation of CO at RuO2(110), we determine the surface atomic structure and composition in reactive environments ranging from ultra-high vacuum (UHV) to technologically relevant conditions, i.e. up to pressures of several atmospheres and elevated temperatures. We also compute the CO2 formation rates (turnover frequencies). The results are in quantitative agreement with all existing experimental data. We find that the high catalytic activity of this system is intimately connected with a disordered, dynamic surface ``phase'' with significant compositional fluctuations. In this active state the catalytic function results from a self-regulating interplay of several elementary processes.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: By modeling a linear polarizable and magnetizable medium (magneto-dielectric) with two quantum fields, namely E and M, electromagnetic field is quantized in such a medium consistently and systematically. A Hamiltonian is proposed from which, using the Heisenberg equations, Maxwell and constitutive equations of the medium are obtained. For a homogeneous medium, the equation of motion of the quantum vector potential, $\vec{A}$, is derived and solved analytically. Two coupling functions which describe the electromagnetic properties of the medium are introduced. Four examples are considered showing the features and the applicability of the model to both absorptive and nonabsorptive magneto-dielectrics.

description: This is a study of 42 developing countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America in which we first examine the impact of trade liberalisation on economic growth, investment share of GDP, openness, trade balance and current accounts (as percentages of GDP). Both panel data and country by country data are used to measure the impact of liberalisation on domestic economic growth measured in PPP terms from the data available in Heston, Summers and Aten (2001) study. Domestic economic growth is often positively related to liberalisation for many countries of our sample. Next we analyse the impact of growth on trade balance and current account to examine whether higher economic growth due to liberalisation leads to adverse effect on balance of trade. Trade balance is normalised by GDP to take into consideration different sizes of countries. We also allow control variables in both sets of regressions such as terms of trade, advanced countries' growth rates, liberalisation and debt related variables. The balance of payments constrained growth model uses foreign exchange constraint that limits growth and using the Harrod multiplier, Thirlwall and Hussain derived a growth equation which is apparently constrained by balance of payments. We use this model in the first part as a behavioural equation and establish that liberalization promotes growth and such output growth in pre-liberalisation period is lower than that in post- liberalisation period. Panel data of 42 countries, regional panel for three regions (fixed effect and random effect models) and country by country analysis (OLS regression) is conducted. These relationships suggest that liberalisation promotes growth but growth itself has negative effect on trade balance for a large majority of countries. This study uses the latest available data on real GDP, growth rates of individual and advanced countries and examines the relationship between liberalisation and growth, liberalisation and trade balance and also the impact of exchange rate or terms of trade policies on trade balance. One of the models in a cross-section regression study makes use of political and security variables and concludes that the convergence or "catching-up" hypothesis is supported and extreme political repression tends to constrain growth. One unit change in liberalisation index leads on average to1.62 percentage point change in growth rates on average, ceteris paribus.

description: At the turn of the century, the role of culture in society is changing. One facet of this change is the relation between culture and finance. Globalisation has led to an increasing competition between financial centres worldwide and culture has become one determinant of competitiveness. But, culture is also adapting to finance in that it responds to the requirements of globalisation and to the needs and desires of a place's financial community. The paper analyses these two sides of interaction between finance and culture emphasising the role of collective memory and cultural identity for the representation of financial centers and taking a closer look at the role of the arts among the variety of forms of cultural practices. Then the attention is drawn to two recent phenomena which, at first sight, seem to reduce the future importance of financial places and thereby also perhaps their influence on the culture world: The ever-increasing proportion of financial decisions made in so-called "non-places" and the role of finance in a virtual world. Zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends ist die Rolle der Kultur in der Gesellschaft einem tiefgreifenden Wandel unterworfen. Ein Aspekt dieses Prozesses ist das Verhältnis von Kultur- zu Finanzwelt. Globalisierung hat dazu geführt, daß die Finanzzentren der Welt in immer stärkerem Wettbewerb zueinander stehen, und Kultur ist ein bestimmendes Element der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit eines Finanzplatzes. Aber Kultur paßt sich auch an die Finanzwelt an, in dem sie auf die Erfordernisse, die die Globalisierung mit sich bringt, und die Bedürfnisse der "financial community" reagiert. Die folgende Anlayse befaßt sich mit der Interaktion von Kultur- und Finanzwelt, wobei ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Rolle der Kunst für die Repräsentation von Finanzzentren gerichtet ist. Zudem untersucht sie zwei Phänomene, die auf den ersten Blick die zukünftige Bedeutung von Finanzplätzen und dementsprechend auch den Einfluß der Finanzwelt auf die Kulturwelt schmälern: die Zunahme von Finanzentscheidungen, die an sogenannten "Nicht-Orten" getroffen werden, und die Rolle virtueller Finanzaktivitäten.
Evaporation of ion-irradiated disks

description: We calculate the evaporation of a cool accretion disk around a black hole due to the ion-bombardment by an ion supported accretion flow (here ISAF, or optically thin ADAF). As first suggested by Spruit & Deufel (2002), this evaporation takes place in two stages: ion bombardment of the cool disk (Shakura-Sunyaev disk: SSD) produces an intermediate-temperature layer on top of the disk (`warm layer') which constitutes an independent accretion flow on both sides of the SSD. As this warm material accretes inward of the inner radius of the SSD, it becomes thermally unstable by lack of cooling of photons, and evaporates into the ISAF, thereby feeding the latter. Angular momentum conservation forces a certain fraction of the ISAF material to move outward, where it can bombard the SSD with its hot ions. The flow geometry is derived by computing stationary solutions of the continuity- and angular momentum equations for the three components (ISAF, warm flow and SSD). The overall radiative output is dominated by hard X-rays. They are produced mostly from the warm component, rather than the ISAF. The expected time dependence and stability of the flow, not computed here, is discussed briefly.

description: Recently, Bauke and Mertens conjectured that the local statistics of energies in random spin systems with discrete spin space should in most circumstances be the same as in the random energy model. This was proven in a large class of models for energies that do not grow too fast with the system size. Considering the example of the generalized random energy model, we show that the conjecture breaks down for energies proportional to the volume of the system, and describe the far more complex behavior that then sets in.

description: The perceptions of food shoppers, produce managers in supermarkets, and wholesale produce buyers were examined with respect to acceptance of a fresh green bean that is slightly darker in color than the current leading cultivar. In-store interviews with shoppers revealed that retail shoppers are not biased for or against the darker color bean. The produce department managers and wholesale buyers indicated a willingness to handle the darker bean if shown evidence that consumers would purchase them. Analysis of variance was used to search for an acceptability or preference pattern associated with various socioeconomic factors.

description: In this paper, we study the observability of an invisible Higgs boson at Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LHC through the production channel $ q \bar{q} \to Z H \to \ell^+\ell^-+ \ptmiss $, where $\ptmiss$ is reconstructed from the $\ell^+\ell^-$ with $\ell=e$ or $μ$. A new strategy is proposed to eliminate the largest irreducible background, namely $ q \bar{q} \to Z(\to \ell^+\ell^-) Z(\to ν\barν)$. This strategy utilizes the precise measurements of $ q \bar{q} \to Z(\to \ell^+\ell^-) Z(\to \ell^+\ell^-)$. For $m_H=120$ GeV and with luminosity $30 fb^{-1}$ at Tevatron, a $5σ$ observation of the invisible Higgs boson is possible. For $m_H=114 \sim 140$ GeV with only $10 fb^{-1}$ luminosity at LHC, a discovery signal over $5σ$ can be achieved.

Positive (scattering) and negative (sub-threshold) solutions can be found to predict both the compound nucleus sub-threshold spectrum and all resonances due to coupled channel effects that occur on a smooth energy varying background.

We show that it is possible to extend this model to the full BK equation including momentum transfer. The saturation scale behaves like max(q,Q_T) where q is the momentum transfer and Q_T a typical scale of the target.

description: We use a diquark model of the nucleon to calculate the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon described as a scalar and axialvector diquark bound state. We provide an analysis of the zero-mode contribution in the diquark model. We find there are zero-mode contributions to the form factors arising from the instantaneous part of the quark propagator, which cannot be neglected compared with the valence contribution but can be removed by the choice of wave function. We also find that the charge and magnetic radii and magnetic moment of the proton can be reproduced, while the magnetic moment of the neutron is too small. The dipole shape of the form factors, $G^p_M(Q^2)/μ_p$ and $G^n_M(Q^2)/μ_n,$ can be reproduced. The ratio $μG^p_E/G^p_M$ decreases with $Q^2,$ but too fast.

description: The growth rate of the United States' agricultural exports to its trading partners was predicted using some measures of each country's past macroeconomic conditions. The model which applies a five-year lag basis predicted better than that which utilizes a ten-year lag. Results show that the significant determinants of the growth rate of U.S. agricultural exports include the importing countries' GDP growth rate, agricultural self-sufficiency, population density, and distance from the United States.
Embodied global flows : immigration and transnational networks between British Columbia, Canada, and Punjab, India
Creators: name: Walton-Roberts, Margaret
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Canadian politicians have stated that India-Canada relations are grounded in "people-to-people links". These links have been formed over the last century through a process of immigration that articulates specific regions of India—Doaba in Punjab—with particular regions of Canada—initially British Columbia, and now the metropolitan areas of Toronto and Vancouver. Employing the theoretical lens of transnationalism and a methodological approach based on networks, this thesis argues that the presence of extensive transnational linkages connecting immigrants to their sites of origin, rather than limit national Canadian citizenship practice, can actually enhance it. I examine how Punjabi immigrants activate linkages that span borders and fuse distant communities and localities, as well as highlighting how the state is involved in the regulation and monitoring of such connections. My findings indicate that the operation of state officials varies according to the nature of the exchange. Whereas immigration is differentially controlled at the micro-scale of the individual according to a range of factors such as race, class and gender; inanimate objects such as goods and capital are less regulated, despite the significant material effects associated with their transmission. Indian immigrants are not however, passive recipients of state regulation at the scale of the individual, and instead emerge as active participants in a Canadian democratic system that enables the individual to challenge certain bureaucratic decisions and hold federal departments accountable. In addition, contrary to ideas of transnational immigrant actors possessing new forms of transnational or "post-national" citizenship, this research suggests that immigrants value the traditional right of citizenship to protect national borders and determine who may gain access.

description: We introduce a powerful analytic method to study the statistics of the number $\mathcal{N}_{\textbf{A}}(γ)$ of eigenvalues inside any contour $γ\in \mathbb{C}$ for infinitely large non-Hermitian random matrices ${\textbf A}$. Our generic approach can be applied to different random matrix ensembles, even when the analytic expression for the joint distribution of eigenvalues is not known. We illustrate the method on the adjacency matrices of weighted random graphs with asymmetric couplings, for which standard random-matrix tools are inapplicable. The main outcome is an effective theory that determines the cumulant generating function of $\mathcal{N}_{\textbf{A}}$ via a path integral along $γ$, with the path probability distribution following from the solution of a self-consistent equation. We derive the expressions for the mean and the variance of $\mathcal{N}_{\textbf{A}}$ as well as for the rate function governing rare fluctuations of ${\mathcal{N}}_{\textbf{A}}{(γ)}$. All theoretical results are compared with direct diagonalization of finite random matrices, exhibiting an excellent agreement.

It was used to determine the chemical states of electrochemically formed anodic oxide monolayers on platinum surface. It is shown that RASXS exhibits strong polarization dependence when the surface is significantly modified. The polarization dependence is demonstrated for three examples; anodic oxide formation, sulfate adsorption, and CO adsorption on platinum surfaces. s- and p- polarization RASXS data were simulated with the latest version of ab initio multiple scattering calculations (FEFF8.2). Elementary theoretical considerations are also presented for the origin of the polarization dependence in RASXS.

The perfect fluid is taken to be the one obeying the usual equation of state, i.e., $p = ζ\ve$, with $ζ\in [0, 1]$ whereas, the dark energy is considered to be obeying a quintessence-like equation of state. Exact solutions to the corresponding Einstein equations are obtained. The model in consideration gives rise to a Universe which is spatially finite. Depending on the choice of problem parameters the Universe is either close with a space-time singularity, or an open one which is oscillatory, regular and infinite in time.

description: A CHANDRA follow-up observation of an X-ray luminous galaxy cluster with a compact appearance, RXCJ1504.1-0248 discovered in our REFLEX Cluster Survey, reveals an object with one of the most prominent cluster cooling cores. With a core radius of ~30 kpc smaller than the cooling radius with ~140 kpc more than 70% of the high X-ray luminosity of Lbol = 4.3 10e45 erg s-1 of this cluster is radiated inside the cooling radius. A simple modeling of the X-ray morphology of the cluster leads to a formal mass deposition rate within the classical cooling flow model of 1500 - 1900 Msun yr-1 (for h=0.7), and 2300 - 3000 Msun yr-1 (for h=0.5). The center of the cluster is marked by a giant elliptical galaxy which is also a known radio source. Thus it is very likely that we observe one of the interaction systems where the central cluster AGN is heating the cooling core region in a self-regulated way to prevent a massive cooling of the gas, similar to several such cases studied in detail in more nearby clusters. The interest raised by this system is then due to the high power recycled in RXCJ1504-0248 over cooling time scales which is about one order of magnitude higher than what occurs in the studied, nearby cooling core clusters. The cluster is also found to be very massive, with a global X-ray temperature of about 10.5 keV and a total mass of about 1.7 10e15 Msun inside 3 Mpc.

description: We analyse the quantum dynamics of a nanomechanical resonator coupled to a normal-state single-electron transistor (SET). Starting from a microscopic description of the system, we derive a master equation for the SET island charge and resonator which is valid in the limit of weak electro-mechanical coupling. Using this master equation we show that, apart from brief transients, the resonator always behaves like a damped harmonic oscillator with a shifted frequency and relaxes into a thermal-like steady state. Although the behaviour remains qualitatively the same, we find that the magnitude of the resonator damping rate and frequency shift depend very sensitively on the relative magnitudes of the resonator period and the electron tunnelling time. Maximum damping occurs when the electrical and mechanical time-scales are the same, but the frequency shift is greatest when the resonator moves much more slowly than the island charge. We then derive reduced master equations which describe just the resonator dynamics. By making slightly different approximations, we obtain two different reduced master equations for the resonator. Apart from minor differences, the two reduced master equations give rise to a consistent picture of the resonator dynamics which matches that obtained from the master equation including the SET island charge.

Using exact diagonalization, series expansion and the self-consistent Born approximation, we calculate the quasi-particle dispersion, bandwidth and residues and compare our findings with the well established results for the square lattice. Given the similarities between both lattices, it is not surprising that we find qualitatively similar features for the honeycomb lattice, namely an almost flat band along the edge of the magnetic Brillouin zone and well defined hole pockets around the corners. However, we report a considerable disagreement between the three methods used concerning the bandwidth and discuss possible origins of this discrepancy.

description: This work is devoted to the investigation of the most probable transition time between metastable states for stochastic dynamical systems. Such a system is modeled by a stochastic differential equation with non-vanishing Brownian noise, and is restricted in a domain with absorbing boundary. Instead of minimizing the Onsager-Machlup action functional, we examine the maximum probability that the solution process of the system stays in a neighborhood (or a tube) of a transition path, in order to characterize the most probable transition path. We first establish the exponential decay lower bound and a power law decay upper bound for the maximum of this probability. Based on these estimates, we further derive the lower and upper bounds for the most probable transition time, under suitable conditions. Finally, we illustrate our results in simple stochastic dynamical systems, and highlight the relation with some relevant works.

description: We study $N$-cluster correlation functions in four- and five-dimensional (4D, 5D) bond percolation by extensive Monte Carlo simulation. We reformulate the transfer Monte Carlo algorithm for percolation [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 72}, 016126 (2005)] using the disjoint-set data structure, and simulate a cylindrical geometry $L^{d-1}\times \infty$, with the linear size up to $L=512$ for 4D and $128$ for 5D. We determine with a high precision all possible $N$-cluster exponents, for $N \! =\!2$ and $3$, and the universal amplitude for a logarithmic correlation function. From the symmetric correlator with $N \! = \!2$, we obtain the correlation-length critical exponent as $1/ν\! =\! 1.4610(12)$ for 4D and $1/ν\! =\! 1.737 (2)$ for 5D, significantly improving over the existing results. Estimates for the other exponents and the universal logarithmic amplitude have not been reported before to our knowledge. Our work demonstrates the validity of logarithmic conformal field theory and adds to the growing knowledge for high-dimensional percolation.

description: The importance of transporting quantum information and entanglement with high fidelity cannot be overemphasized. We present a scheme based on adiabatic passage that allows for transportation of a qubit, operator measurements and entanglement, using a 1-D array of quantum sites with a single sender (Alice) and multiple receivers (Bobs). Alice need not know which Bob is the receiver, and if several Bobs try to receive the signal, they obtain a superposition state which can be used to realize two-qubit operator measurements for the generation of maximally entangled states.
description: Modified in view of referee's comments, new author added, natural scheme for operator measurements identified, hence W state preparation replaced with GHZ state preparation via operator measurements. 4 pages, 3 figures

description: The definition of time is still an open question when one deals with high frequency time series. If time is simply the calendar time, prices can be modeled as continuous random processes and values resulting from transactions or given quotes are discrete samples of this underlying dynamics. On the contrary, if one takes the business time point of view, price dynamics is a discrete random process, and time is simply the ordering according which prices are quoted in the market. In this paper we suggest that the business time approach is perhaps a better way of modeling price dynamics than calendar time. This conclusion comes out from testing probability densities and conditional variances predicted by the two models against the experimental ones. The data set we use contains the DEM/USD exchange quotes provided to us by Olsen & Associates during a period of one year from January to December 1998. In this period 1,620,843 quotes entries in the EFX system were recorded.

description: We present here a model for simulating the panchromatic spectral energy distribution of galaxies, which aims to be a complete tool to study the complex multi-wavelength picture of the universe. The model take into account all important components that concur to the SED of galaxies at wavelengths from X-rays to the radio. We review the modeling of each component and provide several applications, interpreting observations of galaxy of different types at all the wavelengths.

Optical nonreciprocal response and conversion in a Tavis-Cummings coupling optomechanical system

description: We propose a scheme to realize optical nonreciprocal response and conversion in a Tavis-Cummings coupling optomechanical system, where a single cavity mode interacts with the vibrational mode of a flexible membrane with an embedded ensemble of two-level quantum emitters. Due to the introduction of the Tavis-Cummings interaction, we find that the phases between the mechanical mode and the optical mode, as well as between the mechanical mode and the dopant mode, are correlated with each other, and further give the analytical relationship between them. By optimizing the system parameters, especially the relative phase between two paths, the optimal nonreciprocal response can be achieved. Under the frequency domain, we derive the transmission matrix of the system analytically based on the input-output relation and study the influence of the system parameters on the nonreciprocal response of the quantum input signal. Moreover, compared with the conventional optomechanical systems, the Tavis-Cummings coupling optomechanical system exhibits richer nonreciprocal conversion phenomena among the optical mode, mechanical mode, and dopant mode, which provide a new applicable way of achieving the phonon-photon transducer and the optomechanical circulator in future practice.

Maximum weighted likelihood estimation
Creators: name: Wang, Steven Xiaogang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A maximum weighted likelihood method is proposed to combine all the relevant data from different sources to improve the quality of statistical inference especially when the sample sizes are moderate or small. The linear weighted likelihood estimator (WLE), is studied in depth. The weak consistency, strong consistency and the asymptotic normality of the WLE are proved. The asymptotic properties of the WLE using adaptive weights are also established. A procedure for adaptively choosing the weights by using cross-validation is proposed in the thesis. The analytical forms of the "adaptive weights" are derived when the WLE is a linear combination of the MLE's. The weak consistency and asymptotic normality of the WLE with weights chosen by cross-validation criterion are established. The connection between WLE and theoretical information theory is discovered. The derivation of the weighted likelihood by using the maximum entropy principle is presented. The approximations of the distributions of the WLE by using saddlepoint approximation for small sample sizes are derived. The results of the application to the disease mapping are shown in the last chapter of this thesis.

description: Using Current Population Survey (CPS) data from 1989 to 1999, we examine the impact of family cap policies, which deny incremental welfare benefits, on out-of-wedlock birth rates. We use the first five states that were granted waivers from the Department of Health and Human Services to implement family caps as "natural experiments." Specifically, we compare trends in out-ofwedlock birth rates in Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, New Jersey and Virginia to trends in states that did not implement family caps or any other waivers prior to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA). We employ several techniques to increase the credibility of results from our "natural experiment," such as the inclusion of multiple comparison groups, controls for differential time trends, and "difference-in-difference-indifferences" estimators. Our regression estimates generally do not provide evidence that family cap policies reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock births among single, less-educated women with children.
