Advanced BIT* (ABIT*): Sampling-Based Planning with Advanced Graph-Search Techniques
Creators: name: Strub, Marlin P.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Path planning is an active area of research essential for many applications in robotics. Popular techniques include graph-based searches and sampling-based planners. These approaches are powerful but have limitations. This paper continues work to combine their strengths and mitigate their limitations using a unified planning paradigm. It does this by viewing the path planning problem as the two subproblems of search and approximation and using advanced graph-search techniques on a sampling-based approximation. This perspective leads to Advanced BIT*. ABIT* combines truncated anytime graph-based searches, such as ATD*, with anytime almost-surely asymptotically optimal sampling-based planners, such as RRT*. This allows it to quickly find initial solutions and then converge towards the optimum in an anytime manner. ABIT* outperforms existing single-query, sampling-based planners on the tested problems in $\mathbb{R}^{4}$ and $\mathbb{R}^{8}$, and was demonstrated on real-world problems with NASA/JPL-Caltech.

A New Approach to Reaction Path Analysis - Application and Evaluation of the SMART Algorithm

NOx Formation

description: This work investigates a new approach to reaction path analyses with a focus
 on the NO formation. NO belongs to the nitrogen oxides, which are hazardous
 pollutants that not only damage the environment but are also a threat to
 health. Thus, the decrease of emission is a pressing issue.
 NO is formed by several pathways in the reaction mechanism. It is challenging,
 however, to distinguish between the unique contributions of the chemical routes
 throughout a flame simulation. The reasons are influential interdependencies
 between the pathways and the increasing complexity of kinetic reaction mechanisms.
 A new method is the Sub-mechanism Accounting and Reaction Tracing
 (SMART) algorithm. Starting from the initiations, the approach traces and
 accounts fluxes to specified pathways. Here each species is analyzed at all flame
 positions for the pathways leading to its formation. The outgoing fluxes to
 all possible products are then allocated according to the shares of the distinct
 routes in the formation.
 For the evaluation, the algorithm was applied to a range of premixed methane
 flames and the results were compared to common analysis from the literature.
 The investigations revealed that this novel method overcomes the hurdles and
 limitations of previous methods. The algorithm predicts steady and reasonable
 results even for minor pathways. The quality of the outcomes is independent
 of the equivalence ratio and the kinetic mechanism.

description: In this paper we critically examine the concept of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC). This concept, most prominently promoted in the World Development Report 1992, proposes that there is an inverted U-shape relation between environmental degradation and income per capita. The concept is dependent on a model of the economy in which there is no feedback from the quality of the environment to economic growth and in which trade has a neutral effect on environmental degradation. There are also some econometric problems with previous estimates of the EKC. The inference from the EKC estimates that further development will reduce environmental degradation is dependent on the assumption that World income is normally distributed when in fact median income is far below mean income. To illustrate the latter point we carry out a simulation under the assumption that one could actually analyze the economy-environment relationship in the way suggested by the EKC. We combine published estimates of the EKC with World Bank forecasts for long-run economic growth. The analysis shows that within the horizon of the Bank's forecast (2025) global emissions of SO2 will continue to increase. Forest loss stabilizes before the end of the period but tropical deforestation continues to proceed at a constant rate throughout the period. This is despite a near doubling in mean world income per capita.
From transition electromagnetic form factors $γ^* γ^* η_c(1S,2S)$ to the production of $η_c(1S,2S)$ at the LHC

description: We review our recent results for production of $η_c(1S)$ and $η_c(2S)$ in the $γ^* γ^* \to η_c(1S,2S)$ fusion and in proton-proton collisions via gluon-gluon fusion. The quarkonium wave functions are calculated by solving Schrödinger equation for different $c \bar c$ potentials. Using Terentev prescription the light-cone wave functions are obtained. The light-cone wave functions are used then to calculate $γ^* γ^* \to η_c$ transition form factors. The theoretical results are compared to the Belle experimental data for $η_c(1S)$. In addition we discuss our results for two-photon decay width. We present also results of our calculations for proton-proton collisions obtained within $k_T$-factorization approach for different unintegrated gluon distributions. The results for hadroproduction of $η_c(1S)$ are compared to the LHCb experimental data.

description: We have previously conducted a search for X-ray sources coincident with white dwarfs using the white dwarf catalog compiled by McCook & Sion (1999} and the ROSAT sources in the WGACAT (Paper I). To include the white dwarfs discovered since 1999 and to include the X-ray sources detected in ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) observations made with a boron filter, we have carried out another search using an updated list of white dwarfs and the final catalogs of the ROSAT PSPC observations with and without a boron filter. Forty-seven new X-ray sources convincingly coincident with white dwarfs are found and reported in this paper. Among these, only 5 show hard X-ray emission: three possess confirmed or suggested late-type companions, one is apparently single, and the other is likely a misclassified BL Lac object. The apparently single white dwarf with hard X-ray emission, KPD 0005+5106, was discussed extensively in Paper I. Photospheric origin for the hard X-ray emission from hot DO and DQZO white dwarfs remains a tantalizing possibility, but high-quality near IR spectroscopic observations and monitoring of the H-alpha emission line are needed to rule out the existence of a faint dMe companion.

description: With the recent important development of microfluidic systems, miniaturization of flow devices has become a real challenge. Microchannels, however, are characterized by a large surface to volume ratio, so that surface properties strongly affect flow resistance in submicrometric devices. We present here results showing that the concerted effect of wetting . properties and surface roughness may considerably reduce friction of the fluid past the boundaries. The slippage of the fluid at the channel boundaries is shown to be drastically increased by using surfaces that are patterned at the nanometer scale. This effect occurs in the regime where the surface pattern is partially dewetted, in the spirit of the 'superhydrophobic' effects that have been recently discovered at the macroscopic scales. Our results show for the first time that, in contrast to the common belief, surface friction may be reduced by surface roughness. They also open the possibility of a controlled realization of the 'nanobubbles' that have long been suspected to play a role in interfacial slippage
Quadrature domains and kernel function zipping

description: It is proved that quadrature domains are ubiquitous in a very strong sense in the realm of smoothly bounded multiply connected domains in the plane. In fact, they are so dense that one might as well assume that any given smooth domain one is dealing with is a quadrature domain, and this allows access to a host of strong conditions on the classical kernel functions associated to the domain. Following this string of ideas leads to the discovery that the Bergman kernel can be zipped down to a strikingly small data set. It is also proved that the kernel functions associated to a quadrature domain must be algebraic.

description: We report the magnetization, specific heat and transport measurements of high quality Na$_{0.85}$CoO$_2$ single crystals in applied magnetic fields up to 14T. In high temperatures, the system is in a paramagnetic phase. It undergoes a magnetic phase transition below about 20K. When the field is applied along the c-axis, the measurement data of magnetization, specific heat and magnetoresistance reveal a metamagnetic transition from an antiferromagnetic state to a quasi-ferromagnetic state at about 8T in low temperatures. However, no transition is observed in the magnetization measurements up to 14T when the field is applied perpendicular to the c-axis. The low temperature magnetic phase diagram of Na$_{0.85}$CoO$_2$ is determined.

description: ROSAT observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have revealed a large diffuse X-ray arc around the point source RX J053335-6854.9. The relative locations of the diffuse and point sources suggest that they might originate from a common supernova explosion. We have analyzed the physical properties of the diffuse X-ray emission and determined that it is most likely a supernova remnant in a low-density medium in the LMC. We have also analyzed the X-ray and optical observations of RX J053335-6854.9 and concluded that it is a foreground dMe star in the solar neighborhood. Therefore, despite their positional coincidence, these two X-ray sources are physically unrelated.

Magnetic ordering of Mn sublattice, dense Kondo lattice behavior of Ce in (RPd3)8Mn (R = La, Ce)

description: We have synthesized two new interstitial compounds (RPd3)8Mn (R = La and Ce). The Mn ions present in "dilute" concentration of just 3 molar percent form a sublattice with an unusually large Mn-Mn near neighbor distance of ~ 85 nm. While the existence of (RPd3)8M (where M is a p-block element) is already documented in the literature, the present work reports for the first time the formation of this phase with M being a 3d element. In (LaPd3)8Mn, the Mn sub-lattice orders antiferromagnetically as inferred from the peaks in low-field magnetization at 48 K and 23 K. The latter peak progressively shifts towards lower temperatures in increasing magnetic field and disappears below 1.8 K in a field of ~ 8 kOe. On the other hand in (CePd3)8Mn the Mn sublattice undergoes a ferromagnetic transition around 35 K. The Ce ions form a dense Kondo-lattice and are in a paramagnetic state at least down to 1.5 K. A strongly correlated electronic ground state arising from Kondo effect is inferred from the large extrapolated value of C/T = 275 mJ/Ce-mol K^2 at T = 0 K. In contrast, the interstitial alloys RPd3Mnx (x = 0.03 and 0.06), also synthesized for the first time, have a spin glass ground state due to the random distribution of the Mn ions over the available "1b" sites in the parent RPd3 crystal lattice.

description: Reactor neutrino experiments have seen major improvements in precision in recent years. With the experimental uncertainties becoming lower than those from theory, carefully considering all sources of $\overlineν_{e}$ is important when making theoretical predictions. One source of $\overlineν_{e}$ that is often neglected arises from the irradiation of the nonfuel materials in reactors. The $\overlineν_{e}$ rates and energies from these sources vary widely based on the reactor type, configuration, and sampling stage during the reactor cycle and have to be carefully considered for each experiment independently. In this article, we present a formalism for selecting the possible $\overlineν_{e}$ sources arising from the neutron captures on reactor and target materials. We apply this formalism to the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the $\overlineν_{e}$ source for the the Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Measurement (PROSPECT) experiment. Overall, we observe that the nonfuel $\overlineν_{e}$ contributions from HFIR to PROSPECT amount to 1\% above the inverse beta decay threshold with a maximum contribution of 9\% in the 1.8--2.0~MeV range. Nonfuel contributions can be particularly high for research reactors like HFIR because of the choice of structural and reflector material in addition to the intentional irradiation of target material for isotope production. We show that typical commercial pressurized water reactors fueled with low-enriched uranium will have significantly smaller nonfuel $\overlineν_{e}$ contribution.

description: Due to limited size and imperfect of the optical components in a spectrometer, aberration has inevitably been brought into two-dimensional multi-fiber spectrum image in LAMOST, which leads to obvious spacial variation of the point spread functions (PSFs). Consequently, if spatial variant PSFs are estimated directly , the huge storage and intensive computation requirements result in deconvolutional spectral extraction method become intractable. In this paper, we proposed a novel method to solve the problem of spatial variation PSF through image aberration correction. When CCD image aberration is corrected, PSF, the convolution kernel, can be approximated by one spatial invariant PSF only. Specifically, machine learning techniques are adopted to calibrate distorted spectral image, including Total Least Squares (TLS) algorithm, intelligent sampling method, multi-layer feed-forward neural networks. The calibration experiments on the LAMOST CCD images show that the calibration effect of proposed method is effectible. At the same time, the spectrum extraction results before and after calibration are compared, results show the characteristics of the extracted one-dimensional waveform are more close to an ideal optics system, and the PSF of the corrected object spectrum image estimated by the blind deconvolution method is nearly central symmetry, which indicates that our proposed method can significantly reduce the complexity of spectrum extraction and improve extraction accuracy.

The mathematical elegance of orthogonalization and its universal use in most applied sciences has been the motivating factor for this study. However, the finding of this study that approximations depend on the inner product assumed, is of considerable importance.

description: Motivated by the mathematical definition of entanglement we undertake a rigorous analysis of the separability and non-distillability properties in the neighborhood of those three-qubit mixed states which are entangled and completely bi-separable. Our results are not only restricted to this class of quantum states, since they rest upon very general properties of mixed states and Unextendible Product Bases for any possible number of parties. Robustness against noise of the relevant properties of these states implies the significance of their possible experimental realization, therefore being of physical -and not exclusively mathematical- interest.

description: The data of accounts show the decreasing of assets of farms every year. The evident causes are a loss of investments, sales of property and amortization. The high rate of amortization of tangible assets amounting to about 70% is a great problem of fixed assets. Depreciation is an economic term for amortization. The present law amendment enables the optional access to depreciation methods when the accounting depreciation expresses the real amount of costs and the tax depreciation expresses the highest charge of tax payers regardless of the real amortization of assets. The costs of depreciation have a straight impact on economic results and the base income tax. An amendment to the income tax law applicable since 1st January 1999 limits under obligation an amount of recognised costs with selected kinds of tangible assets. It is important to stress that it is to the detriment of entrepreneurs.

description: Doing business in agriculture is much more risky than in other areas of national economy. The biological character and the natural conditions of agricultural production are the main source of risk. From the point of view of the agricultural enterprise, risky factors can be divided in two categories. The first one includes all factors which can be overcome by external tools (credit, insurance). The only way of achieving a success is evaluating all possible risk factors and taking steps to prevent them.

description: We endow a recently devised algorithm for generating exact eigensolutions of large matrices with an importance sampling, which is in control of the extent and accuracy of the truncation of their dimensions. We made several tests on typical nuclei using a correlated basis obtained from partitioning the shell model space. The sampling so implemented allows not only for a substantial reduction of the shell model space but also for an extrapolation to exact eigenvalues and E2 strengths.

description: The UBC Food System Project (UBCFSP) is a Community-Based Action Research project (CBAR) based on the collaboration and visioning of all the project stakeholders. The objective of this project is to improve the sustainability of the UBC food system. The purpose of scenario 4 was to propose the incorporation of the UBC Farm produce to the various campus food providers. The project involved a literature review, along with interviews with the UBC Farm and AMS Food and Beverage Department personnel. A review of the UBCFSP vision statements has also been completed in accordance to scenario tasks and requirements. A farm to campus program was improved upon to incorporate UBC Farm carrots into the AMS as a way to promote local food production and consumption. The program will start with a one month supply by the UBC Farm of 25-50% of the AMS total carrot consumption during the month of September. The objective of the program is to raise awareness of the UBC Farm, build support for local agriculture and to involve all students of UBC. Recommendations have been made regarding the various issues that were unable to be addressed within this paper due to resource, time, and project focus constraints.

description: Fock module realization for the unitary singleton representations of the $d-1$ dimensional conformal algebra $o(d-1,2)$, which correspond to the spaces of one-particle states of massless scalar and spinor in $d-1$ dimensions, is given. The pattern of the tensor product of a pair of singletons is analyzed in any dimension. It is shown that for $d>3$ the tensor product of two boson singletons decomposes into a sum of all integer spin totally symmetric massless representations in $AdS_d$, the tensor product of boson and fermion singletons gives a sum of all half-integer spin symmetric massless representations in $AdS_d$, and the tensor product of two fermion singletons in $d>4$ gives rise to massless fields of mixed symmetry types in $AdS_d$ depicted by Young tableaux with one row and one column together with certain totally antisymmetric massive fields. In the special case of $o(2,2)$, tensor products of 2d massless scalar and/or spinor modules contain infinite sets of 2d massless conformal fields of different spins. The obtained results extend the 4d result of Flato and Fronsdal \cite{FF} to any dimension and provide a nontrivial consistency check for the recently proposed higher spin model in $AdS_d$ \cite{d}. We define a class of higher spin superalgebras which act on the supersingleton and higher spin states in any dimension. For the cases of $AdS_3$, $AdS_4$, and $AdS_5$ the isomorphisms with the higher spin superalgebras defined earlier in terms of spinor generating elements are established.

description: Structure is the most basic and important property of crystalline solids; it determines directly or indirectly most materials characteristics. However, predicting crystal structure of solids remains a formidable and not fully solved problem. Standard theoretical tools for this task are computationally expensive and at times inaccurate. Here we present an alternative approach utilizing machine learning for crystal structure prediction. We developed a tool called Crystal Structure Prediction Network (CRYSPNet) that can predict the Bravais lattice, space group, and lattice parameters of an inorganic material based only on its chemical composition. CRYSPNet consists of a series of neural network models, using as inputs predictors aggregating the properties of the elements constituting the compound. It was trained and validated on more than 100,000 entries from the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. The tool demonstrates robust predictive capability and outperforms alternative strategies by a large margin. Made available to the public (at https://github.com/AuroraLHT/cryspnet), it can be used both as an independent prediction engine or as a method to generate candidate structures for further computational and/or experimental validation.

title: Participation, Agency and Gender: The Impacts of Participatory Video Practices on Young Women in India
Creators: name: Singh, Namita
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: The use of Participatory Video (PV) in development projects with marginalised communities by Non-government organisations is increasing. Though PV practice has expanded, there has been limited academic discussion and debate on the subject. PV is often assumed to be a non-problematic process that enables less powerful groups to gain power and participate in social change processes. This research contributes to the emerging academic debates by critically investigating how participating in a long-term PV project can provide participants the opportunity to gain agency and to engage with local social change in a sustained manner. It studies projects by two NGOs in Hyderabad and Mumbai, which work with young women participants, using gender as a lens to examine the role of power relations within the projects. This thesis draws on three key concepts: (i) participation, (ii) agency and (iii) gender norms. Using the conceptualisation of agency in the Capability Approach, it focuses on the various aspects of a long-term PV project that can either promote or restrict young women’s agency. The methods of collecting data were interviews, group discussions, participatory observation and participatory video-making with the research participants. The analysis of the data was carried out using a framework which maps the relationships between the various phases of a long-term PV project and the participants’ agency. Based on the findings of the analysis, this thesis argues that oppressive gender power relations within their household and the community, and hierarchy within a supposedly participatory project are critical influences on young women’s ability to become agents of change. In particular, the thesis draws attention to: (i) participants’ need to continuously negotiate power with the household and community members, (ii) inherent hierarchy and the nature of participation in a long-term PV project, (iii) the relation between participants’ need to access resources and hierarchy within a project, and (iv) the difference in needs, goals and impacts identified by donors/NGOs and the participants. The thesis proposes a conceptual model of participatory video as an agency-development process, which shows how these factors are crucial in developing and sustaining participants’ agency. This thesis builds new knowledge by providing an in-depth understanding of power relations in long-term PV projects and what impacts agency - areas which are often overlooked in the literature on PV.

description: We report a helicity analysis of sub-threshold rho^0 production on 2H, 3He and 12C at low photo-production energies. The results are indicative of a large longitudinal rho^0 polarization (l=1, m=0) and are consistent with a strong helicity-flip production mechanism. This signature is used to extract in-medium rho^0_L invariant mass distributions for all three nuclei in a manner which is less model-dependent than previous measurements. The results are compared to kinematic and phenomenological models of the rho^0 spectral function. The 2H and 3He data distributions support the role of N*(1520) excitation in shaping the in-medium rho^0_L invariant mass distribution, while the 12C distributions are consistent with quasi-free rho^0_L production. The data support an in-medium modification of the rho^0_L invariant mass distribution.

description: University of British Columbia (UBC), with its large urban land base, large tracts of ecologically significant lands, and research capacity has the potential to become a climate neutral institution. Common Energy UBC, an emerging network of students, staff and faculty at UBC has begun many campaigns to bring UBC beyond climate-neutral. Through meeting with Nancy Toogood, participating in the roundtable discussions and performing literature review we realized that meat production is one of the most GHG intensive products and there exist very few suggestions to reduce green house gas emissions (GHGE) other than to restrict or decrease consumption. A set of standards can be developed to ensure that food outlets are choosing meat suppliers that use environmentally sound farm practices. Our research focuses on livestock production methods, such as livestock density, types of feed, manure management practices, deforestation and fertilizer use to determine standards. We recommend future study develop a general tool for food service companies to use when choosing producers or suppliers, so that they choose those who emit the least amount of GHG and therefore lessen UBC’s contribution to global warming.
