description: We use the latest solution of the ephemeris INPOP (19a) in order to improve our previous constraint on the existence of a Yukawa suppression to the Newtonian potential, generically associated to a graviton's mass. Unlike the ephemeris INPOP17a, several residuals are found to degrade significantly at roughly the same amplitudes of the Compton wavelength $λ_g$. As a consequence, we introduce a novel statistical criterion in order to derive the constraint with INPOP19a. After checking that it leads to a constraint consistent with our previous result when applied on INPOP17b, we apply the method to the new solution INPOP19a. We show that the residuals of Mars orbiters, Cassini, Messenger, and Juno, degrade significantly when $λ_g \leq$ $3.43 \times 10^{13}$ km with a 99,7% confidence level -- corresponding to a graviton mass bigger than $3.62 \times 10^{-23}$ eV$/c^2$. This is a stronger constraint on the Compton wavelength than the one obtained from the first gravitational-wave transient catalog by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration in the radiative regime, since our 90% C.L. limit reads $λ_g >3.93 \times 10^{13}$ km ($m_g <3.16 \times 10^{-23}$ eV$/c^2$).

description: We study an extension of the ADHM construction to give deformed anti-self-dual (ASD) instantons in N=1/2 super Yang-Mills theory with U(n) gauge group. First we extend the exterior algebra on superspace to non(anti)commutative superspace and show that the N=1/2 super Yang-Mills theory can be reformulated in a geometrical way. By using this exterior algebra, we formulate a non(anti)commutative version of the super ADHM construction and show that the curvature two-form superfields obtained by our construction do satisfy the deformed ASD equations and thus we establish the deformed super ADHM construction. We also show that the known deformed U(2) one instanton solution is obtained by this construction.

description: Smart cities are urban areas with sensor networks that collect data used towards efficient management. As a source of ubiquitous data, smart city initiatives present opportunities to enhance inhabitants' urban awareness. However, making sense of smart city data is challenging and there is a gap between available data and end-user applications. Sonification emerges as a promising method for the interpretation of smart city data and the production of novel musical experiences. In this paper, we first present the smart city paradigm. We then cover the topics of ubiquitous and mobile music, followed by an overview of sonification research. Finally, we propose an approach entitled ubiquitous sonification and present the initial design of a speculative use case for musical smart city systems, leveraging user and urban data to inform behaviour.

description: This paper considers the treatment of "don't know" (DK) responses to referendum contingent valuation questions. The determinants of DK responses are empirically analyzed using a data set from a survey of old growth forest valuation. It is found that DK respondents possess unique characteristics that differentiate them from Yes and No respondents. These findings do not support the most common treatments of DK responses that are currently used. Responses to an open-ended question included in the survey are used to provide further insight into the preferences of DK respondents.
QJBrowser : sutitle a query based approach to explore concerns
Creators: name: Rajagopalan, Rajeswari
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation presents a query-based browsing tool called QJBrowser that can assist developers in working with crosscutting concerns. Although there is no apparent limit to the number of different kinds of crosscutting views of source code that are potentially interesting to developers, many existing browser tools are capable of producing only a limited set of pre-defined views. This is because the logic to locate and display code units is typically pre-programmed into these tools and users have only limited control over it. QJBrowser addresses this problem by providing a mechanism by which developers can dynamically define interesting views. The goals of QJBrowser are the following: • It must be configurable enough to define a multitude of different kinds of views on source code. • It must be simple enough so that a developer can define views on demand. • It must provide an interface that is familiar to software developers. • The query language that it provides must be extensible. • Finally, it must provide assistance for the exploration of crosscutting concerns in source code. Besides presenting the motivation and concepts of QJBrowser, this dissertation intends to provide evidence by using examples and observations from preliminary experience, that QJBrowser in fact meets these aforementioned goals.

description: We introduce the right (left) Gorenstein subcategory relative to an additive subcategory $\C$ of an abelian category $\A$, and prove that the right Gorenstein subcategory $r\mathcal{G}(\mathscr{C})$ is closed under extensions, kernels of epimorphisms, direct summands and finite direct sums. When $\C$ is self-orthogonal, we give a characterization for objects in $r\mathcal{G}(\mathscr{C})$, and prove that any object in $\A$ with finite $r\mathcal{G}(\C)$-projective dimension is isomorphic to a kernel (resp. a cokernel) of a morphism from an object in $\A$ with finite $\C$-projective dimension to an object in $r\mathcal{G}(\C)$. As an application, we obtain a weak Auslander-Buchweitz context related to the kernel of a hereditary cotorsion pair in $\A$ having enough injectives.

description: This paper estimates welfare losses in thirty-eight U.S. food and tobacco industries at the four-digit SIC level, then relates such losses to market structure and conduct variables to identify the welfare loss determinants. Empirical findings indicate that these losses are higher in markets characterized by high export intensity, high advertising expenditures, economies of scale, mergers and acquisitions, and market concentration. In addition, losses are larger in industries that sell finished consumer products and face lower import competition.

description: Based on a topological transition of the symmetry protected topological phase (SPT), an interaction induced topological charge pump (iTCP) is proposed with the symmetry breaking parameter as a synthetic dimension. It implies that the phase boundary of the SPT is the topological obstruction although iTCP and the gap closing singularity is stable for symmetry breaking perturbations. We have confirmed the bulk-edge correspondence for this iTCP using DMRG for the Rice-Mele model with nearest-neighbor interactions. As for a realization in optical lattices, an interaction sweeping pump protocol is proposed as well.

The approach could also be applied to more complicated dynamical systems such as those involving the M5-brane and the D=10 Dirichlet branes.

description: The time-like naked singularities of the electrically and magnetically charged black hole solutions obtained in a model of nonlinear electrodynamics proposed by Kruglov is investigated within the framework of quantum mechanics. In view of quantum mechanics, the space-time is quantum regular provided that the time evolution of the test quantum wave packet uniquely propagates on an underlying background. Rigorous calculations have shown that when the singularity is probed with specific quantum wave/particle modes, the quantum wave operator turns out to be essentially self-adjoint. Thus, the time evolution of the quantum wave/particle is determined uniquely. In the case of electrically charged black hole background, the unique evolution is restricted to s-wave only. For the two different magnetically charged black hole backgrounds, the time evolution is restricted to different modes for each case.

description: Simulations are widely used to teach economic principles and to provide students experience in decision making. This paper describes and evaluates a simulation exercise that helps students understand public policy impacts in a multistage market. Student teams of producers, marketers, and processors use information on costs and demand in negotiations to determine prices and quantities. Selected public policies such as marketing orders with price discrimination are implemented and analyzed. The simulation exercise improved student understanding of marketing orders and policy impacts on prices, quantities, and profits in a multistage market. Financial outcomes in the simulation were related to student learning as evidenced by exam scores.

description: For a ring $R$ and an additive subcategory $\C$ of the category $\Mod R$ of left $R$-modules, under some conditions we prove that the right Gorenstein subcategory of $\Mod R$ and the left Gorenstein subcategory of $\Mod R^{op}$ relative to $\C$ form a coproduct-closed duality pair. Let $R,S$ be rings and $C$ a semidualizing ($R,S$)-bimodule. As applications of the above result, we get that if $S$ is right coherent and $C$ is faithfully semidualizing, then $(\mathcal{GF}_C(R),\mathcal{GI}_C(R^{op}))$ is a coproduct-closed duality pair and $\mathcal{GF}_C(R)$ is covering in $\Mod R$, where $\mathcal{G}\mathcal{F}_C(R)$ is the subcategory of $\Mod R$ consisting of $C$-Gorenstein flat modules and $\mathcal{G}\mathcal{I}_C(R^{op})$ is the subcategory of $\Mod R^{op}$ consisting of $C$-Gorenstein injective modules; we also get that if $S$ is right coherent, then $(\mathcal{A}_C(R^{op}),l\mathcal{G}(\mathcal{F}_C(R)))$ is a coproduct-closed and product-closed duality pair and $\mathcal{A}_C(R^{op})$ is covering and preenveloping in $\Mod R^{op}$, where $\mathcal{A}_C(R^{op})$ is the Auslander class in $\Mod R^{op}$ and $l\mathcal{G}(\mathcal{F}_C(R))$ is the left Gorenstein subcategory of $\Mod R$ relative to $C$-flat modules.

description: Systematic deviations from standard Fermi-liquid behavior have been widely observed and documented in several classes of strongly correlated metals. For many of these systems, mounting evidence is emerging that the anomalous behavior is most likely triggered by the interplay of quenched disorder and strong electronic correlations. In this review, we present a broad overview of such disorder-driven non-Fermi-liquid behavior, and discuss various examples where the anomalies have been studied in detail. We describe both their phenomenological aspects as observed in experiment, and the current theoretical scenarios that attempt to unravel their microscopic origin.

description: Recent attempts to test the validity of the contingent valuation method have relied on laboratory-type experiments. In these experiments, willingness to pay responses in hypothetical choice experiments are compared with responses from choice experiments requiring actual payments. Often evidence of hypothetical bias is found. Critical for these experimental tests of hypothetical surveys is that the methodology used to elicit willingness to pay from subjects in the real-payment experiment be demand revealing. If it is not, then differences in responses to hypothetical and real valuation questions could be due to free-riding in the real-payment survey and not due to hypothetical bias in the hypothetical survey. This paper reports on experiments that implement a theoretically incentive-compatible revelation mechanism (a closed referendum) to elicit responses to valuation questions in both hypothetical and real experiments. As in earlier studies, evidence of an upward hypothetical bias is found.

description: This paper evaluates the economic and environmental tradeoffs at watershed scale by incorporating both economic and environmental risks in agricultural production. The Target MOTAD model is modified by imposing a probability-constrained objective function to capture the yield uncertainty caused by random allocation of farming systems to soil types and by introducing environmental targets to incorporate environmental risk due to random storm events. This framework is used to determine the tradeoffs frontier between watershed net return and sediment yield and nitrogen concentration in runoff in Goodwater Creek watershed, Missouri. The frontier is significantly affected by environmental risk preference.

description: This paper uses a gravity-like structure derived from a monopolistic competition model to measure market access among Canada, USA, Japan and EU Quad countries over the 1996-2001 period. We explore the overall asymmetry and 18 food industrial-level asymmetries of bilateral trade openness. Using actual bilateral estimates of tariffs and nontariff barriers, we investigate their role in explaining the trade reduction effect of national borders. A representative estimate of market access shows that higher asymmetries exist in USA, Canada and EU trade with Japan. Quite surprisingly, the last country is always more open than the reverse. Finally, we found that tariffs and NTBs explain a significant part of the border effects and that the NTB role is often higher than that of tariff.

description: Plasmonic excitations such as surface-plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) and graphene-plasmons (GPs), carry large momenta and are thus able to confine electromagnetic fields to small dimensions. This property makes them ideal platforms for subwavelength optical control and manipulation at the nanoscale. The momenta of these plasmons are even further increased if a scheme of metal-insulator-metal and graphene-insulator-metal are used for SPPs and GPs, respectively. However, with such large momenta, their far-field excitation becomes challenging. In this work, we consider hybrids of graphene and metallic nanostructures and study the physical mechanisms behind the interaction of far-field light with the supported high momenta plasmon modes. While there are some similarities in the properties of GPs and SPPs, since both are of the plasmon-polariton type, their physical properties are also distinctly different. For GPs we find two different physical mechanism related to either GPs confined to isolated cavities, or large area collective grating couplers. Strikingly, we find that although the two systems are conceptually different, under specific conditions they can behave similarly. By applying the same study to SPPs, we find a different physical behavior, which fundamentally stems from the different dispersion relations of SPPs as compared to GPs. Furthermore, these hybrids produce large field enhancements that can also be electrically tuned and modulated making them the ideal candidates for a variety of plasmonic devices.

description: This paper aims to analyse the impact of changes in the monetary policy and the exchange rate on agricultural supply, prices and exports. The methodology used is based on the multivariate cointegration approach. Ten variables are considered: interest and exchange rates, money supply, inflation, agricultural output and input prices, agricultural supply and exports, income and the rate of commercial openness. Sample period covers annual data from 1967 to 2002. Due to the short-sample period, two subsystems are considered. First, long-run relationships are identified in each subsystem. Second, both subsystems are merged in order to calculate the short-run dynamics. Results indicate that changes in macroeconomic variables have an effect on the agricultural sector but the reverse effect does not hold.

We propose a new network to tackle this task by converting images of Korean Hangul characters directly into images of the phonetic Latin character equivalent. The conversion rules between Hangul and the phonetic symbols are not explicitly provided. The results of the proposed network show that it is possible to perform image-to-image language conversion. Moreover, it shows that it can grasp the structural features of Hangul even from limited learning data. In addition, it introduces a new network to use when the input and output have significantly different features.

Polarization transfer in pulsar magnetosphere

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Propagation of radio waves in the ultrarelativistic magnetized electron-positron plasma of pulsar magnetosphere is considered. Polarization state of the original natural waves is found to vary markedly on account of the wave mode coupling and cyclotron absorption. The change is most pronounced when the regions of mode coupling and cyclotron resonance approximately coincide. In cases when the wave mode coupling occurs above and below the resonance region, the resultant polarization appears essentially distinct. The main result of the paper is that in the former case the polarization modes become non-orthogonal. The analytical treatment of the equations of polarization transfer is accompanied by the numerical calculations. The observational consequences of polarization evolution in pulsar plasma are discussed as well.

description: We introduce a new kinematic method to investigate the structure of open star clusters. We adopt a hierarchical clustering algorithm that uses the celestial coordinates and the proper motions of the stars in the field of view of the cluster to estimate a proxy of the pairwise binding energy of the stars and arrange them in a binary tree. The cluster substructures and their members are identified by trimming the tree at two thresholds, according to the $σ$-plateau method. Testing the algorithm on 100 mock catalogs shows that, on average, the membership of the identified clusters is $(91.5\pm 3.5)$\% complete and the fraction of unrelated stars is $(10.4\pm 2.0)$\%. We apply the algorithm to the stars in the field of view of the Perseus double cluster from the Data Release 2 of Gaia. This approach identifies a single structure, Sub1, that separates into two substructures, Sub1-1 and Sub1-2. These substructures coincide with $h$ Per and $χ$ Per: the distributions of the proper motions and the color-magnitude diagrams of the members of Sub1-1 and Sub1-2 are fully consistent with those of $h$ Per and $χ$ Per reported in the literature. These results suggest that our hierarchical clustering algorithm can be a powerful tool to unveil the complex kinematic information of star clusters.

The measured sky-projected angle between the stellar spin-axis and the planet's orbital axis is compatible with an orbit well-aligned with the equator of the host star ($λ= 0.77\pm0.99 \mathrm{deg}$). We are not able to detect any absorption feature of H$α$, or any other atomic spectral features, in its high-resolution transmission spectra due to low S/N at the line cores. Despite previous claims regarding the presence of strong optical absorbers such TiO and VO gases in the atmosphere of WASP-74 b, the new ground-based photometry combined with a reanalysis of previously reported observations from the literature shows a slope in the low-resolution transmission spectrum steeper than expected from Rayleigh scattering alone.

description: Livestock husbandry is a major line of conflict in many industrialized countries. Farmers are caught in a dilemma between ethical considerations imposed by, for instance, nongovernmental organizations and the wider public on the one hand and competitive and economic pressures on the other. In this paper we use a target-costing approach to determine whether it is possible to implement more animal-friendly husbandry conditions for turkey fattening in Germany without sacrificing competitiveness. Empirical results show that, at first glance, the willingness on the part of consumers to pay for more animal welfare exceeds the costs to farmers of more animal-friendly husbandry systems. A critical discussion reveals that this result may be flawed by methodological problems for which no solutions have yet been found.

description: We investigate the impact of the QCD vacuum at nonzero $θ$ on the properties of light nuclei, Big Bang nucleosynthesis, and stellar nucleosynthesis. Our analysis starts with a calculation of the $θ$-dependence of the neutron-proton mass difference and neutron decay using chiral perturbation theory. We then discuss the $θ$-dependence of the nucleon-nucleon interaction using a one-boson-exchange model and compute the properties of the two-nucleon system. Using the universal properties of four-component fermions at large scattering length, we then deduce the binding energies of the three-nucleon and four-nucleon systems. Based on these results, we discuss the implications for primordial abundances of light nuclei, the production of nuclei in stellar environments, and implications for an anthropic view of the universe.

description: This article contributes to the ongoing discussion about the impact of different labeling practices on the quality of genetically modified (GM) food products as perceived by the consumer. Thus far, many studies have adopted a stated preferences approach, finding that consumers have different willingness to pay for GM and non-GM products. This article offers an empirically tractable theoretical model that can be used easily to investigate the impact of GM labeling practices on the perceived quality of GM food products, making use of market data.

description: We report on the electrical and magneto-transport properties of the contact formed between polycrystalline NiMnSb thin films grown using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and n-type degenerate InSb (100) substrates. A negative giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect is observed when the external magnetic field is parallel to the surface of the film and to the current direction. We attribute the observed phenomenon to magnetic precipitates formed during the magnetic film deposition and confined to a narrow layer at the interface. The effect of these precipitates on the magnetoresistance depends on the thermal processing of the system.

Outliers and data mining : finding exceptions in data
Creators: name: Knorr, Edwin M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Our thesis is that we can efficiently identify meaningful outliers in large, multidimensional datasets. In particular, we introduce and study the notion and utility of distance-based outliers (DB-outliers). First, we focus on outlier identification, and present nested-loop, index-based, and cell-based algorithms. For datasets that are mainly disk-resident, we present another version of the cell-based algorithm that guarantees at most 3 passes over a dataset. We provide experimental results showing that these cell-based algorithms are by far the best for 4 or fewer dimensions. Second, we focus on the computation of intensional knowledge, that is, we provide a description or an explanation of why an identified outlier is exceptional. We provide an algorithm to compute the "strongest" outliers in a dataset (i.e., outliers that are dominant for certain attributes or dimensions). Our notion of strongest outliers allows significant pruning to take place in the search tree. We also define the notion of "weak" outliers. With respect to the computation of intensional knowledge, we develop naive, semi-naive, and I/O optimized algorithms. The latter class of algorithms intelligently schedules I/O's, and achieves optimization via page sharing. Third, we focus on robust space transformations to achieve meaningful results when mining Ac-D datasets for Z?.B-outliers. Robust estimation is used to: (a) account for differences among attributes in scale, variability, and correlation, (b) account for the effects of outliers in the data, and (c) prevent undesirable masking and flooding during the search for outliers. We propose using a robust space transformation called the Donoho-Stahel estimator (DSE), and we show key properties of the DSE. Of particular importance to data mining applications involving large or dynamic datasets is the stability property, which says that in spite of frequent updates, the estimator does not: (a) change much, (b) lose its usefulness, or (c) require re-computation. We develop randomized algorithms and evaluate how well they perform empirically. The novel algorithm that we develop is called the Hybrid-Random algorithm, which can significantly outperform the other DSE algorithms for moderate-high levels of recall. Experimental results using real-world data are included to show the utility and efficiency of Di>-outiiers.

description: We observed a new and poorly studied cataclysmic variable (CV) SDSS J123813.73-033933.0 to determine its classification and binary parameters. Simultaneous time-resolved photometric and spectroscopic observations were carried out to conduct period analysis and Doppler tomography mapping. From radial velocity measurements of the Ha line we determined its orbital period to be 0.05592+/-0.00035$ days (80.53min). This period is longer than the first estimate of 76 min by Szkody et al. (2003), but still at the very edge of the period limit for hydrogen-rich CVs. The spectrum shows double-peaked Balmer emission lines flanked by strong broad Balmer absorption, indicating a dominant contribution by the white dwarf primary star, and is similar to the spectra of short-period low-mass transfer WZ Sge-like systems. The photometric light curve shows complex variability. The system undergoes cyclic brightening up to 0.4 mags, which are of semi-periodic nature with periods of the order of 8-12 hours. We also detect a 40.25 min variability of ~0.15 mag corresponding to half of the orbital period. Amplitude of the latter increases with the cyclic brightening of the system. We discuss the variable accretion rate and its impact on the hot spot as the most probable reason for both observed processes. SDSS J123813.73-033933.0 is preliminary classified as a WZ Sge-like short period system with low and unstable accretion rate.

description: This article aims to explain the marketing margins in the eco-labeled products market in Thailand and the Philippines. It focuses on labeled organic agricultural commodities that are commonly exported especially in Europe, which has demand for this type of products. Understanding the interplay of economic variables influencing marketing margins in the eco-labeled market as compared to its conventional counterpart is relevant in understanding how this growing niche market works. The analytical framework developed by Gardner (1975) was used in the analysis to provide a basic understanding of how marketing margins behave. Econometric results show that changes in demand rather than the changes in supply explain most of the variations in margins particularly in labeled commodities. Contrary to what was expected, the coefficients of marketing costs and their significance are generally higher in conventional commodities than in labeled commodities.
The overhand shuffle mixes in $Θ(n^2\log n)$ steps

description: The overhand shuffle is one of the ``real'' card shuffling methods in the sense that some people actually use it to mix a deck of cards. A mathematical model was constructed and analyzed by Pemantle [J. Theoret. Probab. 2 (1989) 37--49] who showed that the mixing time with respect to variation distance is at least of order $n^2$ and at most of order $n^2\log n$. In this paper we use an extension of a lemma of Wilson [Ann. Appl. Probab. 14 (2004) 274--325] to establish a lower bound of order $n^2\log n$, thereby showing that $n^2\log n$ is indeed the correct order of the mixing time. It is our hope that the extension of Wilson's lemma will prove useful also in other situations; it is demonstrated how it may be used to give a simplified proof of the $Θ(n^3\log n)$ lower bound of Wilson [Electron. Comm. Probab. 8 (2003) 77--85] for the Rudvalis shuffle.

description: An experimental technique that allows faster assessment of out-of-plane strain dynamics of thin film heterostructures via x-ray diffraction is presented. In contrast to conventional high-speed reciprocal space-mapping setups, our approach reduces the measurement time drastically due to a fixed measurement geometry with a position-sensitive detector. This means that neither the incident (ω) nor the exit (2θ) diffraction angle is scanned during the strain assessment via x-ray diffraction. Shifts of diffraction peaks on the fixed x-ray area detector originate from an out-of-plane strain within the sample. Quantitative strain assessment requires the determination of a factor relating the observed shift to the change in the reciprocal lattice vector. The factor depends only on the widths of the peak along certain directions in reciprocal space, the diffraction angle of the studied reflection, and the resolution of the instrumental setup. We provide a full theoretical explanation and exemplify the concept with picosecond strain dynamics of a thin layer of NbO2.

On the gauge invariance and coordinate transformations of non-Abelian D-brane actions

description: We study the variations of the worldvolume fields in the non-Abelian action for multiple D-branes. Using T-duality we find that the embedding scalars transform non-trivially under NS-NS gauge transformations as δX ~ [X, X] and prove that the non-Abelian Chern-Simons action is invariant under these transformations. Given that T-duality relates the (part of the) NS-NS transformation with (part of the) general coordinate transformations, we can get some insight in the structure of non-Abelian coordinate transformations.

Switching a polar metal via strain gradients

description: Although rare, spontaneous breakdown of inversion symmetry sometimes occurs in a material which is metallic: these are commonly known as polar metals or ferroelectric metals. Their 'polarization', however, cannot be switched via an electric field, which limits the experimental control over band topology. Here we shall investigate, via first-principles theory, flexoelectricity as a possible way around this obstacle with the well known polar metal LiOsO$_3$. The flexocoupling coefficients are computed for this metal with high accuracy with a completely new approach based on real-space sums of the inter-atomic force constants. A Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire-type first-principles Hamiltonian is built and a critical bending radius to switch the material is estimated, whose order of magnitude is comparable to that of BaTiO$_3$.

description: This work investigates the possible supernova kick velocities imposed on HMXB systems in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Comparisons are made between the location of such systems and the locations of young, stellar clusters on the premise that these may represent the birthplace of many of these systems. Measurements of the separation of clusters and HMXBs,and an estimate of the typical lifetimes of these systems, leads to a minimum average space velocity 30 km/s. This value is compared to theoretical estimates.
