description: Effects of truncation in self-similar continuous unitary transformations (S-CUT) are estimated rigorously. We find a formal description via an inhomogeneous flow equation. In this way, we are able to quantify truncation errors within the framework of the S-CUT and obtain rigorous error bounds for the ground state energy and the highest excited level. These bounds can be lowered exploiting symmetries of the Hamiltonian. We illustrate our approach with results for a toy model of two interacting hard-core bosons and the dimerized S=1/2 Heisenberg chain.

description: One year ago, the United States and its partners concluded their negotiations with Iran on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), an agreement intended to reduce the threat from Iran's nuclear program in exchange for economic sanctions relief. Implementation of the agreement began in January 2016. Richard Nephew, program director for economic statecraft, sanctions and energy markets at the Center on Global Energy Policy, who was the lead sanctions negotiator for the United States from 2013-2014, has written a report on six months' implementation of the nuclear deal, particularly with respect to sanctions relief. He concludes that sanctions relief has been stalled as much by concerns over residual sanctions as domestic regulatory factors and low oil prices globally.
Twistor : anonymous message transfer through Twitter
Creators: name: Alavi, Marjan Sadat
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Anonymous communications is a long sought goal of dissidents, privacy advocates, and a host of other user communities. While a large number of systems have been proposed, those systems generally require large-scale communication infrastructure to be built in order to achieve a non-trivial amount of anonymity. However, the very nature of anonymity has meant that a business rationale for building such infrastructure is lacking. Motivated to design a practical receiver anonymity network with large anonymity set sizes, we present Twistor: a new system for receiver-anonymous communications which leverages the Twitter social graph as the underlying anonymizing layer. To send a twist, a Twistor client first checks for reachability of its intended recipient, using local graph information maintained by interactions with the Twistor server. It then encrypts the message under the recipient's public key and posts the ciphertext to the corresponding user's timeline. Larger ciphertexts are encoded into an image, so as to conform with Twitter's 140 UTF-8 character limit. Twistor clients are listening for Twistor posts and decrypt and repost when those they follow publish a new twist, except for when a TTL indicator is 0. Given self-reducibility properties of ElGamal, even if the adversary, e.g., Twitter, monitors all Twistor posts and re-posts that cascade from an initial post, the anonymity of the receiver and the confidentiality of the plaintext are reducible to the hardness of Decisional Diffie-Hellman problem. Twistor derives its increase in size of the receiver anonymity set from asymmetric social connections combined with the publish-subscribe communication model in Twitter. Our aim is to achieve receiver anonymity set sizes on the order of hundreds of thousands. In this thesis we describe our built system, the cost to the underlying infrastructure and the tradeoffs between those costs and the size of the anonymity set.

description: We investigate neutralino dark matter in the framework of NMSSM performing a scan over its parameter space and calculating neutralino capture and annihilation rates in the Sun. We discuss the prospects of searches for neutralino dark matter in neutrino experiments depending on neutralino content and its main annihilation channel. We recalculate the upper limits on neutralino-proton elastic cross sections directly from neutrino telescopes upper bounds on annihilation rates in the Sun. This procedure has advantages as compared with corresponding recalcalations from the limits on muon flux, namely, it is independent on details of the experiment and the recalculation coefficients are universal for any kind of WIMP dark matter models. We derive 90% c.l. upper limits on neutralino-proton cross sections from the results of the Baksan Underground Scintillator Telescope.

Asymptotic Behaviour of the Proper Length and Volume of the Schwarzschild Singularity

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Though popular presentations give the Schwarzschild singularity as a point it is known that it is spacelike and not timelike. Thus it has a "length" and is not a "point". In fact, its length must necessarily be infinite. It has been proved that the proper length of the Qadir-Wheeler suture model goes to infinity [1], while its proper volume shrinks to zero, and the asymptotic behaviour of the length and volume have been calculated. That model consists of two Friedmann sections connected by a Schwarzschild "suture". The question arises whether a similar analysis could provide the asymptotic behaviour of the Schwarzschild black hole near the singularity. It is proved here that, unlike the behaviour for the suture model, for the Schwarzschild essential singularity $Δs$ $\thicksim $ $K^{1/3}\ln K$ and $V\thicksim $ $K^{-1}\ln K$, where $K$ is the mean extrinsic curvature, or the York time.

description: We present optical, near-infrared, and Spitzer IRAC and MIPS observations of the host galaxy of the dark gamma-ray burst GRB 080207. The host is faint, with extremely red optical-infrared colors ($R-K\,=\,6.3$, 24\micron/$R-$band flux $\sim1000$) making it an extremely red object (ERO) and a dust-obscured galaxy (DOG). The spectral energy distribution (SED) shows the clear signature of the 1.6 micron photometric "bump", typical of evolved stellar populations. We use this bump to establish the photometric redshift $z_{\rm phot}$ as 2.2$^{+0.2}_{-0.3}$, using a vast library of SED templates, including M 82. The star-formation rate (SFR) inferred from the SED fitting is $\sim$119\msun\,yr$^{-1}$, the stellar mass $3\times10^{11}$\,\msun, and \av\ extinction from 1-2\,mag. The ERO and DOG nature of the host galaxy of the dark GRB 080207 may be emblematic of a distinct class of dark GRB hosts, with high SFRs, evolved and metal-rich stellar populations, and significant dust extinction within the host galaxy.

Examining ecological determinants of community formation and stability in the root microbiota
Creators: name: Aleklett, Kristin Anna Eva
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The root system of a plant is known to host a wide diversity of microbes that can be beneficial or detrimental to the plant. Microbial ecologists have long struggled to understand the factors influencing the composition of these communities. One overlooked aspect of microbial community assembly in root systems is the potential for individual variation among plants, and the potential effect of early colonisation events such as microbial exposure of the seed inside the parent plant and during dispersal. In this dissertation, I relate ecological theory of community assembly to the formation of the root microbiota. I explore the extent of variation between individuals in wild plant populations, and examine the effects of historical contingency in determining bacterial and fungal community assembly and stability in the root microbiota. The main findings in my work showed that: - Wild plants growing in close proximity, sharing environmental conditions will still host distinct bacterial communities in their root systems based on their species identity. We also documented individual variation in root microbiota within all species examined, even the clonal plant species Pilosella aurantiaca. - Bacterial community composition varies significantly across the body of a plant, with different parts of the plant body hosting distinct communities. - Plants are able to form new microbial associations throughout development, but the timing of microbial exposure affects the composition of the microbial community in mature plants. - Microbial community stability fluctuates within weeks during early plant development, with one week-old plants hosting communities most likely to change in composition.

description: An accumulation of strong messages from policymakers and advocates suggests that preschool expulsion is becoming an important target for change. In May 2014, the My Brother's Keeper Task Force--part of an initiative to address persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color and ensure that all young people can reach their full potential--released its first report to the President, offering recommendations to "eliminate suspensions and expulsions in preschool and other early learning settings," including the use of early childhood mental health consultation. In November 2014, the quality improvement provisions of the reauthorized Child Care and Development Block Grant required "effective behavior management strategies and training, including positive behavior interventions and support models, that promote positive social and emotional development and reduce challenging behaviors, including reducing expulsions of preschool-aged children for such behaviors." Most tellingly, on December 10, 2014, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Burwell and U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan released a joint policy statement on preventing expulsions and suspensions in early learning settings. The statement notes the high prevalence of preschool expulsions and their association with negative child outcomes, and also offers recommendations to programs and states on strategies and practices to reduce expulsions, including early childhood mental health consultation. This Topic of Interest examines reports and journal articles from the Research Connections collection on the prevalence of preschool expulsions. It also highlights evidence on one approach that has shown promise in reducing preschool expulsion: early childhood mental health consultation.

description: We use a theoretical model of the $γ~d \to ~K^+ K^- ~n ~p $ reaction adapted to the experiment done at LEPS where a peak was observed and associated to the $Θ^{+}(1540)$ pentaquark. The study shows that the method used in the experiment to associate momenta to the undetected proton and neutron, together with the chosen cuts, necessarily creates an artificial broad peak in the assumed $K^+ n$ invariant mass in the region of the claimed $Θ^{+}(1540)$. It is shown that the LEPS fit to the data, used to make the claim of the $Θ^{+}(1540)$, grossly distorts the background. An alternative fit, assuming a background plus a fluctuation, returns a background practically equal to the theoretical one and a fluctuation identical to the one seen in the experimental $K^- p$ spectrum of 2$σ$ significance.

description: In a new report by the Center on Global Energy Policy, authors Richard Nephew, program director for Economic Statecraft, Sanctions, and Energy Markets at the Center on Global Energy Policy, and David Mortlock, partner and Chair of the Government Relations Group at the law firm of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, outline implications of the UK's decision to withdraw from the European Union in relation to the view and execution of economic sanctions policies in both regions. The paper reviews the legal and political history of EU and UK sanctions policies since the Lisbon Treaty came into effect in 2009 as well as three cases of sanctions policymaking and enforcement – against Iran, Russia, and terrorists – to identify common interests and themes, as well as differences in how the UK and EU perceived sanctions enforcement. The report concludes by offering up three observations concerning how the UK and EU will move forward in their respective sanctions policies and two recommendations for how these two entities, along with the United States, should work together to preserve the benefits that existed prior to BREXIT.

description: The purpose of this essay is to discuss the “human capital” approach to inference. Observed decisions by experts can be used to organize data on their decisions using simple machine learning techniques. The fact that the human capital of these experts is heterogeneous implies that errors in decision making are inevitable, which in turn allows us to identify the conditional average treatment effect for a wider class of situations than would be possible with randomized control trials. This point is illustrated with some data from medical decision making in the context of treating depression, heart disease, and adverse childbirth events.

description: Sanctions have become part of the Russian economic landscape since the crisis in Ukraine broke out in December 2013. They have had an impact on the Russian economy, but have yet to change the situation in Ukraine. One possible area for new sanctions is in the field of oil exports. In this issue brief, Richard Nephew, a fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy and program director for economic statecraft, sanctions and energy markets, examines the possible role that an oil export reduction strategy could play in Russia. In noting the pitfalls and complications, he argues that such a strategy could be part of the overall approach to Russia, but that both different sanctions measures and a holistic approach to Russia-Ukraine policy are necessary for any effort to be successful.

description: Excerpts from the report: Holding apples and pears in cold storage in producing areas rather than at market terminals or at points in transit has become a common practice. In the Pacific Northwest this change has been more or less coincident with the decline of speculative buying of the fruit by eastern interests and with the growth of cooperative marketing enterprises owned and controlled by the growers. The purpose of this publication is to present in concise language, as nontechnically as possible, the essential features in the design and operation of cold-storage plants and in the handling of the stored fruit in the Pacific Northwest, although the same principles will be found equally useful in other parts of the country.

A full phase diagram is presented which shows a complex dependence of the superconducting transition temperature as a function of pressure over an extensive range. High-pressure RH measurements reveal a close relation of these complex behaviors, particularly, a dramatic change of dRH/dP before structural phase transition and a pressure-induced crossover on RH in the high pressure phase were observed.

description: Due to its proximity to the Earth and its nearly edge-on geometry, the Orion Bar provides an excellent testbed for detailed models of the structure of HII regions and the surrounding photon-dominated regions. In the present study, a self-consistent model of the structure of the Orion Nebula in the vicinity of the Bar is built under the assumption of approximate ionization, thermal, and hydrostatic equilibrium. It is found that a fairly simple geometry is able to describe the surface brightness profiles of the emission lines tracing the ionized HII region with a remarkable accuracy, independent of the prescription adopted to set the magnetic field or the population of cosmic rays. Although we consider different scenarios for these non-thermal components, none of the models is able to provide a fully satisfactory match to the observational data for the atomic layer, and the predicted column densities of several molecular species are always well above the measured abundances. Contrary to previous studies, we conclude that a more elaborate model is required in order to match all the available data.

description: Synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiments have been carried out on Eu metal at ambient temperature to pressures as high as 92 GPa (0.92 Mbar). Following the well-known bcc-to-hcp transition at 12 GPa, a mixed phase region is observed from 18 to 66 GPa until finally a single orthorhombic (Pnma) phase persists from 66 to 92 GPa. These results are compared to predictions from density functional theory calculations. Under pressure the relatively large molar volume Vmol of divalent Eu is rapidly diminished, equaling or falling below Vmol(P) for neighboring trivalent lanthanides above 15 GPa. The present results suggest that above 15 GPa Eu is neither divalent nor fully trivalent to pressures as high as 92 GPa.

description: In February 2015, CCSI sent comments to the World Bank regarding its draft Environmental and Social Framework. This took place in the context of the Bank’s consultations on the review and update of its safeguards policies. CCSI’s comments focused on ensuring consistent and comprehensive application of the framework, and on the need to more expansively incorporate human rights standards. The memo also underlined the need to protect all legitimate tenure rights, including those not currently recognized by national law, and to limit the permissibility of forced evictions. In addition, the comments include proposed amendments that would ensure that government borrowers cannot suspend vital protections to indigenous peoples.

description: We investigate the single-particle time evolution and two-particle quantum correlations in a one-dimensional $N$-site lattice with a site-dependent nearest neighbor tunneling function $t_α(k)=t_0[k(N-k)]^{α/2}$. Since the bandwidth and the energy levels spacings for such a lattice both depend upon $α$, we show that the observable properties of a wavepacket, such as its spread and the relative phases of its constitutents, vary dramatically as $α$ is varied from positive to negative values. We also find that the quantum correlations are exquisitely sensitive to the form of the tunneling function. Our results suggest that arrays of waveguides with position-dependent evanascent couplings will show rich dynamics with no counterpart in present-day, traditional systems.

description: По данным литературы 5–8% пациентов с фибрилляцией предсердий (ФП) подвергаются чрескожным коронарным вмешательствам (ЧКВ)1 и что 2,3–21% всех острых инфарктов миокарда (ОИМ) осложняются ФП. Большинство доказательств эффективности и безопасности антитромботических схем у пациентов с фибрилляцией предсердий (ФП), перенесших чрескожное коронарное вмешательство с использованием стента, получены из небольших одноцентровых ретроспективных наборов данных. Чтобы получить дополнительные данные по этому вопросу, мы провели проспективное многоцентровое обсервационное ведение пациентов с фибрилляцией предсердий, перенесших стентирование коронарной артерии.

description: This paper provides evidence on the effect of electoral institutions on the performance of public officials. Using panel data on state supreme courts between 1947 and 1994, we measure the effects of changes in judicial electoral processes on judge work quality – as measured by citations by later judges. Judges selected by non-partisan elections write higher-quality opinions than judges selected by partisan elections. Judges selected by technocratic merit commissions write higher-quality opinions than either partisan-elected judges or non-partisan-elected judges. Election-year politics reduces judicial performance in both partisan and non-partisan election systems. Giving stronger tenure to non-partisan-selected judges improves performance, while giving stronger tenure to partisan-selected judges has no effect. These results are consistent with the view that technocratic merit commissions have better information about the quality of candidates than voters, and that political bias can reduce the quality of elected officials.

Finite-size effects in dynamics of zero-range processes

description: The finite-size effects prominent in zero-range processes exhibiting a condensation transition are studied by using continuous-time Monte Carlo simulations. We observe that, well above the thermodynamic critical point, both static and dynamic properties display fluid-like behavior up to a density ρc (L), which is the finite-size counterpart of the critical density ρc = ρc (L \rightarrow \infty). We determine this density from the cross-over behavior of the average size of the largest cluster. We then show that several dynamical characteristics undergo a qualitative change at this density. In particular, the size distribution of the largest cluster at the moment of relocation, the persistence properties of the largest cluster and correlations in its motion are studied.

description: In this paper we discuss the possibility that chiral phase transitions, analogous to those of QCD, occur in the vicinity of a black hole. If the black hole is surrounded by a gas of strongly interacting particles, an inhomogeneous condensate will form. We demonstrate this by explicitly constructing self-consistent solutions.

Failure of Gutzwiller-type wave function to capture gauge fluctuations: Case study in the Exciton Bose Liquid context

description: Slave particle approaches are widely used in studies of exotic quantum phases. A complete description beyond mean field also contains dynamical gauge fields, while a simplified procedure considers Gutzwiller-projected trial states. We apply this in the context of bosonic models with ring exchanges realizing so-called Exciton Bose Liquid (EBL) phase and compare a Gutzwiller wave function against an accurate EBL wave function. We solve the parton-gauge theory and show that dynamical fluctuations of the spatial gauge fields are necessary for obtaining qualitatively accurate EBL description. On the contrary, just the Gutzwiller projection leads to a state with subtle differences in the long-wavelength properties, thus suggesting that Gutzwiller wave functions may generally fail to capture long-wavelength physics.

Where did it go? : regaining a lost target for robot visual servoing
Creators: name: Radmard, Sina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: When a robotic visual servoing/tracking system loses sight of its target, the servo fails due to loss of input. To resolve this problem, a search method is required to generate efficient actions and bring the target back into the camera field of view (FoV) as soon as possible. For high dimensional platforms like a camera-mounted manipulator, an eye-in-hand system, such a search must address the difficult challenge of generating efficient actions in an online manner while avoiding visibility and kinematic constraints. This work considers two common scenarios of visual servoing/tracking failure, when the target leaves the camera FoV and when visual occlusions, occlusions for brevity, disrupt the process. To handle the first scenario, a novel algorithm called lost target search (LTS) is introduced to plan online efficient sensor actions. To handle the second scenario, an improved algorithm called lost target recovery algorithm (LTRA) allows a robot to look behind an occluder during active visual search and re-acquire its target in an online manner. Then the overall algorithm is implemented on a telepresence platform to evaluate the necessity and efficacy of autonomous occlusion handling for remote users. Occlusions can occur when users in remote locations are engaged in physical collaborative tasks. This can yield to frustration and inefficient collaboration between the collaborators. Therefore, two human-subjects experiments are conducted (N=20 and 36 respectively) to investigate the following interlinked research questions: a) what are the impacts of occlusion on telepresence collaborations, and b) can an autonomous handling of occlusions improve telepresence collaboration experience for remote users? Results from the first experiment demonstrate that occlusions introduce a significant social interference that necessitates collaborators to reorient or reposition themselves. Subsequently, results from the second experiment indicate that the use of an autonomous controller yields a remote user experience that is more comparable (in terms of their vocal non-verbal behaviors, task performance and perceived workload) to collaborations performed by two co-located parties. These contributions represent a step forward in making robots more autonomous and user friendly while interacting with human co-workers. This is a necessary next step for successful adoption of robots in human environments.

description: Motivated by recent progress in trapping Bose-Einstein condensed atoms in toroidal potentials, we examine solitary-wave solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation subject to periodic boundary conditions. When the circumference of the ring is much larger than the size of the wave, the density profile is well approximated by that of an infinite ring, however the density and the velocity of propagation cannot vanish simultaneously. When the size of the ring becomes comparable to the size of the wave, the density variation becomes sinusoidal and the velocity of propagation saturates to a constant value.
