description: Purchasing international emission reductions (IERs) can help New Zealand make a more ambitious and cost-effective contribution toward global climate change mitigation and support developing countries in accelerating their low-emission transition. However, New Zealand must avoid past mistakes by ensuring international purchasing does not derail its own decarbonisation pathway. Furthermore, the Paris Agreement has fundamentally changed how countries will trade IERs over the 2021–30 period. This working paper, which evolved under Motu’s ETS Dialogue process from 2016 to 2018, focuses on how we can balance our international and domestic mitigation efforts. It explores how many IERs we may want, how we should integrate international mitigation support with participants’ obligations under the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS), and what mechanisms we can use to fund international mitigation effectively. Fundamentally, the New Zealand government will need to ensure that all IERs counted toward its targets and accepted in the NZ ETS have environmental integrity and are both approved and not double counted by seller and buyer governments. This paper presents a working model for New Zealand’s purchase of IERs, in which the quantity is controlled by government, purchasing is managed by government for the foreseeable future (with potential participation by private entities), and the quantity is factored into decisions on the NZ ETS cap and price management mechanisms. If NZ ETS participants are able to purchase IERs in the future, then a quantity limit should apply as a percentage of the surrender obligation and the volume should offset other supply under the cap. The paper also highlights an innovative “climate team” mechanism for international climate change cooperation that could facilitate purchasing by the New Zealand government. Two companion working papers address interactions between decisions on international purchasing and the choice of NZ ETS cap and price management mechanisms. The three working papers elaborate on an integrated proposal for managing unit supply, prices, and linking in the NZ ETS that was presented in Kerr et al. (2017).

description: Edge machine learning involves the deployment of learning algorithms at the wireless network edge so as to leverage massive mobile data for enabling intelligent applications. The mainstream edge learning approach, federated learning, has been developed based on distributed gradient descent. Based on the approach, stochastic gradients are computed at edge devices and then transmitted to an edge server for updating a global AI model. Since each stochastic gradient is typically high-dimensional (with millions to billions of coefficients), communication overhead becomes a bottleneck for edge learning. To address this issue, we propose in this work a novel framework of hierarchical stochastic gradient quantization and study its effect on the learning performance. First, the framework features a practical hierarchical architecture for decomposing the stochastic gradient into its norm and normalized block gradients, and efficiently quantizes them using a uniform quantizer and a low-dimensional codebook on a Grassmann manifold, respectively. Subsequently, the quantized normalized block gradients are scaled and cascaded to yield the quantized normalized stochastic gradient using a so-called hinge vector designed under the criterion of minimum distortion. The hinge vector is also efficiently compressed using another low-dimensional Grassmannian quantizer. The other feature of the framework is a bit-allocation scheme for reducing the quantization error. The scheme determines the resolutions of the low-dimensional quantizers in the proposed framework. The framework is proved to guarantee model convergency by analyzing the convergence rate as a function of the quantization bits. Furthermore, by simulation, our design is shown to substantially reduce the communication overhead compared with the state-of-the-art signSGD scheme, while both achieve similar learning accuracies.

description: Rare $B$-decays induced by flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNC) is one of the promising candidates for probing physics beyond the Standard model. However, for identifying potential new physics from the data, reliable control over QCD contributions is necessary. We focus on one of such QCD contributions - the charming loops - that potentially can lead to difficulties in disentangling new physics effects from the observables and discuss the possibility to gain control over theoretical predictions for charming loops.

description: We have studied the influence of far ultraviolet (UV) radiation from a massive young stellar object (YSO) on the chemistry of its own envelope by extending the models of Doty et al. (2002) to include a central source of UV radiation. The models are applied to the massive star-forming region AFGL 2591 for different inner UV field strengths. Depth-dependent abundance profiles for several molecules are presented and discussed. We predict enhanced column densities for more than 30 species, especially radicals and ions. Comparison between observations and models is improved with a moderate UV field incident on the inner envelope, corresponding to an enhancement factor G0~10-100 at 200 AU from the star with an optical depth tau~15-17. Subtle differences are found compared with traditional models of Photon Dominated Regions (PDRs) because of the higher temperatures and higher gas-phase H2O abundance caused by evaporation of ices in the inner region. In particular, the CN/HCN ratio is not a sensitive tracer of the inner UV field, in contrast with the situation for normal PDRs: for low UV fields, the extra CN reacts with H2 in the inner dense and warm region and produces more HCN. It is found that the CH+ abundance is strongly enhanced and grows steadily with increasing UV field. High-J lines of molecules like CN and HCN are most sensitive to the inner dense region where UV radiation plays a role. Thus, even though the total column density affected by UV photons is small, comparison of high-J and low-J lines can selectively trace and distinguish the inner UV field from the outer one. In addition, future Herschel-HIFI observations of hydrides can sensitively probe the inner UV field.

description: Backscatter is an enabling technology for battery-free sensing in today's Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIOT). Building a backscatter-based sensing system, however, is a daunting task, due to two obstacles: the unaffordable power consumption of the microprocessor and the coexistence with the ambient carrier's traffic. In order to address the above issues, in this paper, we present Leggiero, the first-of-its-kind analog WiFi backscatter with payload transparency. Leveraging a specially designed circuit with a varactor diode, this design avoids using a microprocessor to interface between the radio and the sensor, and directly converts the analog sensor signal into the phase of RF (radio frequency) signal. By carefully designing the reference circuit on the tag and precisely locating the extra long training field (LTF) section of a WiFi packet, Leggiero embeds the analog phase value into the channel state information (CSI). A commodity WiFi receiver without hardware modification can simultaneously decode the WiFi and the sensor data. We implement Leggiero design and evaluate its performance under varied settings. The results show that the power consumption of the Leggiero tag (excluding the power of the peripheral sensor module) is 30uW at a sampling rate of 400Hz, which is 4.8* and 4* lower than the state-of-the-art WiFi backscatter schemes. The uplink throughput of Leggiero is suficient to support a variety of sensing applications, while keeping the WiFi carrier's throughput performance unaffected.

Phase-sensitive thermoelectricity and long-range Josephson effect supported by thermal gradient

description: We demonstrate that thermoelectric signal as well as dc Josephson current may be severely enhanced in multi-terminal superconducting hybrid nanostructures exposed to a temperature gradient. At temperatures $T$ strongly exceeding the Thouless energy of our device both the supercurrent and the thermo-induced voltage are dominated by the contribution from non-equilibrium low energy quasiparticles and are predicted to decay slowly (algebraically rather than exponentially) with increasing $T$. We also predict a non-trivial current-phase relation and a transition to a $π$-junction state controlled by both the temperature gradient and the system topology. All these features are simultaneously observable in the same experiment.

 Remarks. This is the first French record of mines of this species, in a locality where adults were taken previously (van Nieukerken 1990a). The mines were rather difficult to locate, usually confined to the lowest part of the stem close to the ground. Onobrychis viciifolia is a new host in addition to O. arenaria and O. montana. At this altitude (650 m) larvae probably should be searched for during late July to early August, and at higher altitudes probably a little later (August­September).

Suitable post chemical treatment of the as-prepared sample allowed us to eliminate the impurity phases. Bulk superconductivity with Tc=6.4 K was observed in magnetisation and specific heat measurements. The transition temperature of RbOs2O6 was found to be the same for both preparation methods. Structural investigations showed that Rb atoms occupy the 8b site in the pyrochlore lattice with a lattice parameter of 10.1137(1) A.

description: We present non-Abelian gaugings of supermembrane for general isometries for compactifications from eleven-dimensions, starting with Abelian case as a guide. We introduce a super Killing vector in eleven-dimensional superspace for a non-Abelian group G associated with the compact space B for a general compactification, and couple it to a non-Abelian gauge field on the world-volume. As a technical tool, we use teleparallel superspace with no manifest local Lorentz covariance. Interestingly, the coupling constant is quantized for the non-Abelian group G, due to its generally non-trivial mapping π_3(G).

description: We calculate the low-lying spectrum of charmed baryons in lattice QCD on the $32^3\times64$, $N_f=2+1$ PACS-CS gauge configurations at the almost physical pion mass of $\sim 156$ MeV/c$^2$. By employing a set of interpolating operators with different Dirac structures and quark-field smearings for the variational analysis, we extract the ground and first few excited states of the spin-$1/2$ and spin-$3/2$, singly-, doubly-, and triply-charmed baryons. Additionally, we study the $Ξ_c$-$Ξ_c^\prime$ mixing and the operator dependence of the excited states in a variational approach. We identify several states that lie close to the experimentally observed excited states of the $Σ_c$, $Ξ_c$ and $Ω_c$ baryons, including some of the $Ξ_c$ states recently reported by LHCb. Our results for the doubly- and triply-charmed baryons are suggestive for future experiments.

description: Post deposition variation in film resistance of Sb2Te3 films deposited on glass substrates at room temperature and an elevated temperature (110oC) are investigated. The resistance of films grown at room temperature shows a non-linear decrease with time which is thickness dependent as opposed to the increasing resistance of film grown at elevated temperature. The decreasing resistance with time can be attributed to the transformation of an amorphous phase of the as-grown film to a micro-crystalline phase as revealed by X-ray diffraction. The increasing resistance was found to be due to the surface oxidation (Sb2O3) and a diffusion as a function of time. However, the underneath layer of Sb2Te3 below the top Sb2O3 layer remains amorphous even after two years from the date of fabrication.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Creating County-Based Data with Public Use Mircrodata Areas
Creators: name: Neidert, Lisa
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2009

description: Researchers are requesting geographically-referenced data, particularly at the sub-state level. There is a array of resources to fulfill these requests. This paper describes a 'hidden' source of county level data; presents a tool that allows users to extract user-defined characteristics; and illustrates a reverse use of this tool to create reliable characteristics for sparsely populated counties. The American Community Survey has generated county-based data since 2005. However, the only counties included in the data release are counties with populations of 65,000 or more. While this population cut-off includes over 80 percent of the US population, it only incorporates 783 of 3,141 counties. Data from the census has typically included all counties but access problems remain. Sometimes a researcher needs a measure not included in the summary files. In addition, there are some sparsely populated counties. Users would benefit from more reliable statistics for these counties. The lowest unit of geography in Census/ACS microdata is the public use microdata area (PUMA). Using the mapping between PUMAs and counties, we translate PUMA-based statistics into county-based statistics. Likewise, when counties are too small to generate reliable statistics, we combine data for these counties based on their PUMA boundaries to create pseudo county-based measures.
Graphic requirements for multistationarity

Subjects: subject: Molecular Networks (q-bio.MN)

description: We discuss properties which must be satisfied by a genetic network in order for it to allow differentiation. These conditions are expressed as follows in mathematical terms. Let $F$ be a differentiable mapping from a finite dimensional real vector space to itself. The signs of the entries of the Jacobian matrix of $F$ at a given point $a$ define an interaction graph, i.e. a finite oriented finite graph $G(a)$ where each edge is equipped with a sign. René Thomas conjectured twenty years ago that, if $F$ has at least two non degenerate zeroes, there exists $a$ such that $G(a)$ contains a positive circuit. Different authors proved this in special cases, and we give here a general proof of the conjecture. In particular, we get this way a necessary condition for genetic networks to lead to multistationarity, and therefore to differentiation. We use for our proof the mathematical literature on global univalence, and we show how to derive from it several variants of Thomas' rule, some of which had been anticipated by Kaufman and Thomas.

description: A qualitative behavior of grain size dependent resistance of polycrystalline films has been worked out by extending the earlier model (Volger's model) for polycrystalline films. Growth of grain size is considered to be accompanied with a decrease in the number of grains present. The variation of the number of grains is restricted along one direction at a time, assuming it to be constant along the other two directions, to simplify the problem. Combining the results along film thickness and film length, the calculated resistance versus grain size shows a family of curves. These curves can be used to know the growth direction by comparing the measured grain size dependence of the resistance.

 Remarks. Ectoedemia hexapetalae is a very rare species, only known until now from one locality in eastern Austria and the Budapest region. This record is therefore a remarkable extension of its distribution (van Nieukerken 1985b). It feeds on Filipendula vulgaris, with mines rather similar to those of Stigmella filipendulae and S. thuringiaca. The characteristic male genitalia are illustrated in Fig. 33–34.

description: Independent current extraction in multi-junction solar cells has gained attention in recent years because it can deliver higher annual energy yield and can work for more semiconductor material combinations than the more established series-connected multi-junction technology. The heterojunction bipolar transistor solar cell concept (HBTSC) was recently proposed as a simple, compact and cost-effective multi-terminal device structure that allows independent current extraction. It consists of only three main layers: emitter, base and collector. In this work we use a drift-diffusion model to analyze important aspects in the design of an HBTSC structure based on typical III-V semiconductor materials. We find that carrier injection from the emitter into the collector (transistor effect) degrades the open-circuit voltage of the top sub-cell, but this risk can be eliminated by optimizing the base design. We find requirements for the base layer which are, in principle, achievable in the context of current III-V semiconductor technology.

description: We propose a deep learning model that can detect Spitzer bubbles accurately using two-wavelength near-infrared data acquired by the Spitzer Space Telescope and JWST. The model is based on the Single Shot MultiBox Detector as an object detection model, trained and validated using Spitzer bubbles identified by the Milky Way Project (MWP-Bubble). We found that using only MWP-Bubbles with clear structures, along with normalization and data augmentation, significantly improved performance. To reduce the dataset bias, we also use the data without bubbles in the dataset selected by combining two techniques: negative sampling and clustering. The model was optimized by hyperparameter tuning using Bayesian optimization. Applying this model to a test region of the Galactic plane resulted in a 98 $\%$ detection rate for MWP-Bubbles with 8 $μ$ m emission clearly encompassing 24 $μ$ m emission. Additionally, we applied the model to a broader area of $1^\circ \leq |l| \leq 65^\circ$, $|b| \leq 1^\circ$, including both training and validation regions, and the model detected 3,006 bubbles, of which 1,413 were newly detected. We also attempted to detect bubbles in the high-mass star-forming region Cygnus $X$, as well as in the external galaxies Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and NGC 628. The model successfully detected Spitzer bubbles in these external galaxies, though it also detected Mira-type variable stars and other compact sources that can be difficult to distinguish from Spitzer bubbles. The detection process takes only a few hours, demonstrating the efficiency in detecting bubble structures. Furthermore, the method used for detecting Spitzer bubbles was applied to detect shell-like structures observable only in the 8 $μ$ m emission band, leading to the detection of 469 shell-like structures in the LMC and 143 in NGC 628.

description: The topic of death is taboo in our contemporary Western culture, and the want of open dialogue on this subject leaves those going through the process of dying, and their loved ones, in a place that is set apart from the main currents of society’s daily life. This effectively robs the person who is dying from their full humanity, which is founded on social belonging. Shame is a vexing burden carried by the dying, their loved ones and the bereaved, in large part due to our culture’s enshrinement of traits such as independence and incessant productivity. Dying, caring for the dying, and grieving require interdependence, vulnerability, reflection, readjustment- all qualities in opposition to our fast-paced world’s ideals. Cicely Saunders, considered the founder of the modern hospice movement, writes about the concept of ‘total pain’, which includes physical, emotional, social, and spiritual distress. The fear our culture carries towards death translates not only into social exclusion, but is also manifested in current hospice architecture, which seeks to present itself as unobtrusively as possible, either disguised in the cloak of domestic architecture or hidden behind a veil of greenery. My goal is to imagine a way that design can further the aims of the hospice philosophy; to alleviate the “total pain” of death and dying, not only for the person dying, but also for their loved ones. I want to imagine an alternative to shame and isolation and visualize how a life event as momentous and natural as dying can happen in a way that fosters as much support, consideration, and meaning as possible. Progressing forward from research to synthesis, my aim is to explore the ideas of belonging and integration as they relate to the hospice on three scales: The urban fabric, the community, and within the hospice space itself.

description: The National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH) is a prominent longitudinal study on family life. NSFH was funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and National Institute on Aging (NIA). The total amount of federal grant for NSFH was 14.5 million dollars. Three waves of surveys were conducted in 1987-1988, 1992-1994 and 2001-2003. According to ICPSR Related Literature database, there are 1,053 publications based on NSFH data. Researchers continue to use NSFH to study family living arrangement, marriage, cohabitation, fertility, parenting relations, kin contact and economic and psychological well-being. The Center for Demography of Health and Aging (CDHA) took over user support for NSFH, after this project ended in summer of 2006. Without the expertise of the original NSFH project team, how does CDHA staff help NSFH researchers? In this paper I will share the challenges and rewards we have in providing user support for the complex NSFH studies. Our enhancement on disseminating NSFH data using an online analysis tool will be discussed. A plan of data repurposing for NSFH in the future will be presented also.

description: Informal caregivers have been recognized as the backbone and strength of long-term care because of their involvement in care. However, they often are not prepared for caregiving role since illnesses are unanticipated. On top of that, most healthcare delivery models and professionals focus primarily on individual patients’ care, and the support given to caregivers is by providing how to manage the practical demands of caregiving. Moreover, they do not adequately engage, educate, or support informal caregivers to improve their well-being. Being not prepared physically and emotionally and lacking the skills threatens their self-efficacy in caring and makes them unprotected from caregiver burden, which can lead informal caregivers to be the next vulnerable population after their care recipients.

            The study aimed to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and caregiver burden among informal caregivers of terminally ill patients in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This study utilized descriptive- correlational design. The samples of this study were informal caregivers of terminally ill patients, particularly in the Oncology Department of Tawam Hospital, UAE.

description: In this paper we prove, using a refinement of Terracini's Lemma, a sharp lower bound for the degree of (higher) secant varieties to a given projective variety, which extends the well known lower bound for the degree of a variety in terms of its dimension and codimension in projective space. Moreover we study varieties for which the bound is attained proving some general properties related to tangential projections, e.g. these varieties are rational. In particular we completely classify surfaces (and curves) for which the bound is attained. It turns out that these surfaces enjoy some maximality properties for their embedding dimension in terms of their degree or sectional genus. This is related to classical beautiful results of Castelnuovo and Enriques that we revise here in terms of adjunction theory.

description: Midwives provide holistic care to women and partners throughout all the stages of pregnancy and birth. This service should be readily accessible to those living outside of urban centres. Currently in Northern BC, this is not the case for a vast majority of rural and Indigenous women who live remotely. Having to travel thousands of kilometres to access care, and also to merely give birth, this project aims to aid those most in need by offering a basic solution to their birth: a space.

description: The conformation space of a 20-residue antiparallel $β$-sheet peptide, sampled by molecular dynamics simulations, is mapped to a network. Conformations are nodes of the network, and the transitions between them are links. The conformation space network describes the significant free energy minima and their dynamic connectivity without projections into arbitrarily chosen reaction coordinates. As previously found for the Internet and the World-Wide Web as well as for social and biological networks, the conformation space network is scale-free and contains highly connected hubs like the native state which is the most populated free energy basin. Furthermore, the native basin exhibits a hierarchical organization which is not found for a random heteropolymer lacking a predominant free-energy minimum. The network topology is used to identify conformations in the folding transition state ensemble, and provides a basis for understanding the heterogeneity of the transition state and denaturated state ensemble as well as the existence of multiple pathway

description: We develop a variational theory for a dipolar condensate in an elongated (cigar shaped) confinement potential. Our formulation provides an effective one-dimensional extended meanfield theory for the ground state and its collective excitations. We apply our theory to investigate the properties of rotons in the system comparing the variational treatment to a full numerical solution. We consider the effect of quantum fluctuations on the scattering length at which the roton excitation softens to zero energy.

CoSSI - Codebook for Statistical Information or Something More?
Creators: name: Rouhuvirta, Heikki
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2009

description: The starting point of the presentation is to examine the character of statistical information, the way in which data and metadata are interconnected in statistical information and how the entity formed by them can be modelled. The focus of interest is statistical information itself - what we actually mean when we talk about statistical information. CoSSI (Common Structure of Statistical Information) is a model created for statistical information. Within its framework different parts of statistical information are combined conceptually as one complete entity. The CoSSI model defines the structures of statistical data (matrices and tables), statistical metadata, quality declarations and publications. XML DTDs have been selected as the technical means for implementing these structures. The CoSSI model also contain the language versioning necessary for statistics in international use. After the short introduction to the CoSSI model its usability is examined in the statistics production and dissemination of statistics, as well as in the scientific research use of statistical data. Finally the relation and compatibility of CoSSI and DDI are examined.
