description: (abridged) Imaging observations are generally affected by a fluctuating background of speckles, a particular problem when detecting faint stellar companions at small angular separations. Knowing the distribution of the speckle intensities at a given location in the image plane is important for understanding the noise limits of companion detection. The speckle noise limit in a long-exposure image is characterized by the intensity variance and the speckle lifetime. In this paper we address the former quantity through the distribution function of speckle intensity. Previous theoretical work has predicted a form for this distribution function at a single location in the image plane. We developed a fast readout mode to take short exposures of stellar images corrected by adaptive optics at the ground-based UCO/Lick Observatory, with integration times of 5 ms and a time between successive frames of 14.5 ms ($λ=2.2$ $μ$m). These observations temporally oversample and spatially Nyquist sample the observed speckle patterns. We show, for various locations in the image plane, the observed distribution of speckle intensities is consistent with the predicted form. Additionally, we demonstrate a method by which $I_c$ and $I_s$ can be mapped over the image plane. As the quantity $I_c$ is proportional to the PSF of the telescope free of random atmospheric aberrations, this method can be used for PSF calibration and reconstruction.

description: Machine translation (MT) has benefited from using synthetic training data originating from translating monolingual corpora, a technique known as backtranslation. Combining backtranslated data from different sources has led to better results than when using such data in isolation. In this work we analyse the impact that data translated with rule-based, phrase-based statistical and neural MT systems has on new MT systems. We use a real-world low-resource use-case (Basque-to-Spanish in the clinical domain) as well as a high-resource language pair (German-to-English) to test different scenarios with backtranslation and employ data selection to optimise the synthetic corpora. We exploit different data selection strategies in order to reduce the amount of data used, while at the same time maintaining high-quality MT systems. We further tune the data selection method by taking into account the quality of the MT systems used for backtranslation and lexical diversity of the resulting corpora. Our experiments show that incorporating backtranslated data from different sources can be beneficial, and that availing of data selection can yield improved performance.

description: We consider the effects of correlations between the in- and out-degrees of individual neurons on the dynamics of a network of neurons. By using theta neurons, we can derive a set of coupled differential equations for the expected dynamics of neurons with the same in-degree. A Gaussian copula is used to introduce correlations between a neuron's in- and out-degree and numerical bifurcation analysis is used determine the effects of these correlations on the network's dynamics. For excitatory coupling we find that inducing positive correlations has a similar effect to increasing the coupling strength between neurons, while for inhibitory coupling it has the opposite effect. We also determine the propensity of various two- and three-neuron motifs to occur as correlations are varied and give a plausible explanation for the observed changes in dynamics.

Edge State Tunneling in a Split Hall Bar Model

description: In this paper we introduce and study the correlation functions of a chiral one-dimensional electron model intended to qualitatively represent narrow Hall bars separated into left and right sections by a penetrable barrier. The model has two parameters representing respectively interactions between top and bottom edges of the Hall bar and interactions between the edges on opposite sides of the barrier. We show that the scaling dimensions of tunneling processes depend on the relative strengths of the interactions, with repulsive interactions across the Hall bar tending to make breaks in the barrier irrelevant. The model can be solved analytically and is characterized by a difference between the dynamics of even and odd Fourier components. We address its experimental relevance by comparing its predictions with those of a more geometrically realistic model that must be solved numerically.

description: A new method of angle estimation of multiple targets using a distributed interferometric antenna array and wideband space-time modulation is presented in this work. Interferometric array measurements of angle of arrival are generally ambiguous in the presence of one or more targets. We propose a new method of mitigating ambiguities in interferometric measurements by multiplying the angle pseudo-spectra from multiple antenna baselines, resulting in detections at only the angles of the targets. Using a single linear frequency modulated (LFM) transmitter and a receive interferometric array with $N$ elements we show a simple and computationally efficient technique to estimate the angle of up to $\mathcal{O}(N^2)$ targets. We describe the theory behind the technique, present detailed simulations, and an experimental verification using a three-element millimeter-wave measurement system.
Doping change and distortion effect on double-exchange ferromagnetism

description: Doping change and distortion effect on the double-exchange ferromagnetism are studied within a simplified double-exchange model. The presence of distortion is modelled by introducing the Falicov-Kimball interaction between itinerant electrons and classical variables. By employing the dynamical mean-field theory the charge and spin susceptibility are exactly calculated. It is found that there is a competition between the double-exchange induced ferromagnetism and disorder-order transition. At low temperature various long-range order phases such as charge ordered and segregated phases coexist with ferromagnetism depending on doping and distortion. A rich phase diagram is obtained.

description: The ratio of the number of muons with a threshold of 1 GeV and charged particles at a distance of 600 m from the axis is analyzed. Air showers with energies above 5 EeV and zenith angles with less than 60 degrees are considered. Comparison of experimental data with calculations by the QGSJETII-04 model for various primary nuclei, including a gamma ray, showed that the mass composition of cosmic rays up to energies of $\sim$ 10 EeV mainly consists of protons and helium nuclei, with a small number of heavy nuclei. Data include air showers with a very low muon content, which are assumed to be produced by primary gamma rays.

Numerical study of magnetic field induced ordering in BaCuSi$_2$O$_6$ and related systems

description: Thermodynamics of spin dimer system BaCuSi_2O_6 is studied using a quantum Monte Carlo calculation (QMC) and a bond-operator mean field theory. We propose that a new type of boson, which, rather than being hard-core, allows up to two occupancy at each site, is responsible for the Bose Einstein condensation of field induced ordering. Its superfluid density is identified as the square of the in-plane staggered magnetization m_{xy} in the ordered phase. We also compare our QMC result of the spin Heisenberg model to those predicted by mean field theory as well as by the simple hard core boson model for both large and small intra-dimer coupling J. The asymmetry of the phase diagram of m_{xy}(h) of small coupling J in related systems such as NiCl_2-4SC(NH_2)_2 is explained with our new boson operator.

Species richness, abundance and distribution in experimentally fragmented landscapes
Creators: name: Perdue, Mark Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Experimentally fragmented landscapes were created in prairie fields at the Konza Long Term Ecological Research Area in the Flint Hills of Kansas State. Landscapes (2m X 2m) were fragmented by isolating plots (0.1m X 0.1m) of open-habitat (bare ground) using Bromus inermis, an aggressive grass species, as a barrier. Elements of fragmentation, habitat area, dispersion, and isolation, were varied by altering the numbers of randomly located brome plots. From 1995 through 1998, species were recorded for each open-habitat plot and brome-occupied plot. The effects of fragmentation were considered in terms of species richness, abundance and spatial distribution, each correlated with the level of fragmentation. Fragmented landscapes had fewer species than contiguous landscapes. At intermediate levels of open-habitat, some species occupied alternate plot cover types more frequently, somewhat mitigating the effects of fragmentation. However, continued fragmentation resulted in the extirpation of most species. Fragmentation also reduced the abundance of satellite and core species. Core species abundance were dramatically reduced near 60% open-habitat, consistent with the changes in species richness. These changes coincided with the percolating threshold, suggesting that habitat dispersion did contribute to the effects of habitat loss. Changes in the spatial distribution of species, a fundamental expression of how species are affected by fragmentation, were characterized by spatial signature analysis. Changes in species' spatial signatures were compared to changes in available habitat. Spatial signature analysis was able to detect how each species responded to fragmentation spatially. Based on this analysis, successful species could be distinguished from those species imperiled by these experimentally fragmented landscapes.
Blood Pressure Variability Following Acute Stroke: The Natural History, Definition and Measurement, and Prognostic Significance

Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background: The complications following acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) are major contributors to morbidity and mortality when not appropriately managed. Whilst elevated blood pressure (BP) following a stroke requires urgent attention, increasing blood pressure variability (BPV) has been associated with poor neurological, functional and cognitive outcomes. However, there are reported inconsistencies in determining the clinical significance of BPV post-stroke. Furthermore, there is information lacking in understanding BPV definitions and measurement, natural history, and prognostic significance. Objectives: This thesis sought to investigate the methodologies of studies which have previously reported on the long-term outcomes (≥ 7 days) of BPV in acute stroke. Furthermore, in using prospectively collected multi-centre observational study data, this thesis describes the natural history of BPV and explores the prognostic significance following acute stroke. This work was completed using multiple BP devices and outcome data measured at various time points. Methods: In completing this thesis, the following were conducted: (i) a systematic review of studies reporting long-term outcome (≥1 week) of BPV following AIS, including methodologies and prognosis; (ii) a prospective multi-centre observational study comparing enhanced casual, continuous beat-to-beat, 24-hour and home BP measurement to define BPV in AIS; (iii) a prospective multi-centre observational study to determine the natural history and prognostic significance of BPV following AIS Results: The systematic review highlighted important methodological heterogeneity in quantifying and characterising BPV in AIS. It was determined the lack of descriptive reporting of studies investigating BPV in AIS contributed significantly to methodological heterogeneity. Furthermore, in this thesis, based on device failure rates, and participant acceptability and tolerance, we determined the most acceptable measurement technique in quantifying BPV is the enhanced casual. Additionally, variability data were summarised according to various definitions by measurement devices to observe the natural history, and this demonstrated significant differences by measurement device and definition. Moreover, functional outcome and cognitive impairment were assessed in relation to BPV at follow-up visits (1-, 3- and 12- months post-stroke). Increasing BPV was associated with short-term (1-month) poor functional and cognitive outcomes, and long-term functional outcome. Prognostic significance was reported using the enhanced casual and ambulatory devices.
The Light-Front Zero-Mode Contribution to the Good Current in Weak Transition

description: We examine the light-front zero-mode contribution to the good(+) current matrix elements between pseudoscalar and vector mesons. In particular, we discuss the transition form factor $f(q^2)$ which has been suspected to have the light-front zero-mode contribution. While the zero-mode contribution in principle depends on the form of the vector meson vertex $Γ^μ=γ^μ- (P_V -2k)^μ/D$, the form factor $f(q^2)$ is found to be free from the zero-mode contribution if the denominator $D$ contains the term proportional to the light-front energy $(k^-)^{n}$ with the power $n>0$. The lack of zero-mode contribution benefits the light-front quark model phenomenology. We present our numerical calculations for the $B\toρ$ transition.

Engagement Between Legal Orders In The Context Of Socioeconomic Rights
Creators: name: Volou, Aristi
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The thesis evaluates the international protection of socio-economic rights, and shows that it is subject to many weaknesses, which are built into the very structure of that protection. These weaknesses impact upon all elements of protection, namely, the personal and material scope of protection, the content of, and limitations to, protection, as well as the enforcement of rights. Thus, they decrease the overall effectiveness of the protection of socio-economic rights. Against this background, the thesis examines the role of engagement between legal orders in this context. It examines the extent and dynamics of engagement in the context of the international protection of socio-economic rights. It shows that – and how – engagement between legal orders takes place in this context, with varying forms, degrees of formality and dimensions. Most importantly, the role of engagement as a tool to address or mitigate structural weaknesses in the international protection of socioeconomic rights is examined. Engagement between legal orders has proved to be an effective tool to address or mitigate weaknesses related to all aspects of protection, and has contributed to improving the international protection of socio-economic rights. However, methodological shortcomings in the way in which engagement has been used are also revealed. In the light of these, the thesis highlights the need for, and develops, a normative approach to engagement between legal orders.

description: The AIDA-2020 Trigger Logic Unit (TLU) has been designed to be a flexible and easily configurable unit to provide trigger and control signals to devices employed during test beams, integrating them with the beam telescope. The most recent iteration of the TLU (v1E) has been re-designed within the AIDA-2020 project to integrate with hardware used in beam facilities. Configuration and communication with the TLU are performed over Ethernet. It can be employed as a stand-alone unit or be deployed as part of the EUDAQ2 data acquisition framework, which allows it to connect to a wide range of LHC readout systems. The TLU can operate with a sustained particle rate of 1 MHz and with instantaneous rates up to 20 MHz. In the current firmware iteration, the unit can time-stamp incoming signals with a resolution of 1.5 ns. The hardware, firmware and software designs of the TLU are freely accessible and benefit from constant inputs and upgrades from experienced users. TLU units have already been deployed successfully in beam lines at CERN and DESY.

description: Documenting networks is an essential tool for troubleshooting network problems. The documentation details a network's structure and context, serves as a reference and makes network management more effective. Complex network diagrams are hard to document and maintain and are not guaranteed to reflect reality. They contain many superficial icons (e.g., wall, screen and tower). Defining a single coherent network architecture and topology, similar to engineering schematics, has received great interest. We propose a fundamental approach for methodically specifying a network architecture using a diagramming method to conceptualize the network s structure. The method is called a thinging (abstract) machine, through which the network world is viewed as a single unifying element called the thing/machine (thimac), providing the ontology for modeling the network. To test its viability, the thinging-machine-based methodology was applied to an existing computer network to produce a single integrated, diagrammatic representation that incorporates communication, software and hardware. The resultant description shows a viable, coherent depiction that can replace the current methods.

description: Tobacco is notorious for being one of the most difficult commodities to grade. Here, we determine the implicit prices of various tobacco characteristics using a hedonic price model. The factors affecting the price received for burley tobacco include reputation of the producer, month of auction and lot size in addition to variables representing quality characteristics. Many of these characteristics can be controlled by producers through production, harvesting, and curing practices. The implicit prices should help farmers evaluate whether they should adopt processes to increase quality. In spite of the large number of factors included, only about half of the price variation across lots could be explained. Thus, the difficulty of grading tobacco is confirmed. Since a universally acceptable grading system is unlikely, any attempts to develop an electronic market will likely need to include pictures of the tobacco and may need more precise measurements of characteristics such as texture, aroma, and uniformity.
Causal analysis of Covid-19 spread in Germany

description: In this work, we study the causal relations among German regions in terms of the spread of Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, taking into account the restriction policies that were applied by the different federal states. We propose and prove a new theorem for a causal feature selection method for time series data, robust to latent confounders, which we subsequently apply on Covid-19 case numbers. We present findings about the spread of the virus in Germany and the causal impact of restriction measures, discussing the role of various policies in containing the spread. Since our results are based on rather limited target time series (only the numbers of reported cases), care should be exercised in interpreting them. However, it is encouraging that already such limited data seems to contain causal signals. This suggests that as more data becomes available, our causal approach may contribute towards meaningful causal analysis of political interventions on the development of Covid-19, and thus also towards the development of rational and data-driven methodologies for choosing interventions.

description: The U.S. beef industry has been struggling with the erosion of domestic market share relative to pork and poultry for several decades. Many factors may have contributed to this shrinkage, including the industrial organization of the domestic beef industry. A discussion of the institutional structure of beef production in the U.S., and the cash market for fed cattle, as possible contributing factors to the decline in beef's competitive position is provided. In the literature, a consensus agrees that average pricing of fed cattle in the cash market has contributed to beef's diminished competitive position. One solution to the average pricing problem which has gained widespread support is the idea of implementing a value based marketing system (VBMS); to replace the current cash marketing system. The value based marketing concept and the probability of it successfully supplanting the current cash marketing system for fed cattle is discussed and evaluated. A comparative empirical analysis of a VBMS relative to the current cash marketing system is reported. Evidence suggests that the ability of a VBMS to supplant the current cash marketing system will be dependent on the premium and discount structure.
Effects of REDD+ Governmentality: Creating an Expert Theatre whilst Limiting Climate Action

Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis investigates the effects of donor-recipient power relations and knowledge politics among experts on national REDD+ processes in Malaysia, Nepal and Sri Lanka. From a poststructuralist perspective that builds on Foucauldian notions of governmentality, the thesis offers a unique insight into viewpoints of actors, representing national governments, donor agencies, multilateral institutions, and international and national civil society organisations. The thesis sheds light on the issue of power inequality between developed and developing countries that hinders the progress of REDD+ at the national level. Main findings of this thesis suggest that REDD+ in the case study countriesoperated as ‘an expert theatre’ among international and national REDD+ experts who acted as service providers to donor countries to operationalise the visions, norms and values of donors through REDD+. At the same time, the role of the central authorities in the case study countries was reduced to passive recipients of international support. As a result, the impact potential of REDD+ in the case study countries was significantly limited due to the lack of national ownership and political commitment to REDD+. With these findings, this thesis adds to recent stocktaking studies and debates on REDD+ and the growing body of knowledge concerning the effects of power through global environmental governance, particularly from a human geographical perspective.
Optical Conductivity and Hall Coefficient in High-Tc Superconductors: Significant Role of Current Vertex Corrections

description: We study AC conductivities in high-Tc cuprates, which offer us significant information to reveal the true electronic ground states. Based on the fluctuation-exchange (FLEX) approximation, current vertex corrections (CVC's) are correctly taken into account to satisfy the conservation laws. We find the significant role of the CVC's on the optical Hall conductivity in the presence of strong antiferromagnetic (AF) fluctuations. This fact leads to the failure of the relaxation time approximation (RTA). As a result, experimental highly unusual behaviors, (i) prominent frequency and temperature dependences of the optical Hall coefficient, and (ii) simple Drude form of the optical Hall andge for wide range of frequencies, are satisfactorily reproduced. In conclusion, both DC and AC transport phenomena in (slightly under-doped) high-Tc cuprates can be explained comprehensively in terms of nearly AF Fermi liquid, if one take the CVC's into account.

description: The purpose of this work is to determine the location and stability of the Cassini states of a celestial body with an inviscid fluid core surrounded by a perfectly rigid mantle. Both situations where the rotation speed is either non-resonant or trapped in a p:1 spin-orbit resonance where p is a half integer are addressed. The rotation dynamics is described by the Poincaré-Hough model which assumes a simple motion of the core. The problem is written in a non-canonical Hamiltonian formalism. The secular evolution is obtained without any truncation in obliquity, eccentricity nor inclination. The condition for the body to be in a Cassini state is written as a set of two equations whose unknowns are the mantle obliquity and the tilt angle of the core spin-axis. Solving the system with Mercury's physical and orbital parameters leads to a maximum of 16 different equilibrium configurations, half of them being spectrally stable. In most of these solutions the core is highly tilted with respect to the mantle. The model is also applied to Io and the Moon.

Neutral perfect fluids of Majumdar-type in general relativity
Creators: name: Varela, V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the extension of the Majumdar-type class of static solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell equations, proposed by Ida to include charged perfect fluid sources. We impose the equation of state $ρ+3p=0$ and discuss spherically symmetric solutions for the linear potential equation satisfied by the metric. In this particular case the fluid charge density vanishes and we locate the arising neutral perfect fluid in the intermediate region defined by two thin shells with respective charges $Q$ and $-Q$. With its innermost flat and external (Schwarzschild) asymptotically flat spacetime regions, the resultant condenser-like geometries resemble solutions discussed by Cohen and Cohen in a different context. We explore this relationship and point out an exotic gravitational property of our neutral perfect fluid. We mention possible continuations of this study to embrace non-spherically symmetric situations and higher dimensional spacetimes.

Subjects: Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: This study identifies several characteristics and factors of individuals who are more likely to try low-fat, low-cholesterol foods. The analysis was performed using logit analysis. The results imply that the following individuals are more likely to try low-fat, low-cholesterol foods: those with high incomes, whites compared to blacks, females, those with smaller households, those with high body mass index, those who have a better perception of their own health, those who are aware of the link between diet and disease, nonsmokers, and those who do not agree that people are born fat or thin and that there is nothing one can do about it.

description: We report on an experimental and theoretical study of the dynamic (ac) Stark effect on a forbidden transition. A general framework for parameterizing and describing off-resonant ac-Stark shifts is presented. A model is developed to calculate spectral line shapes resulting from resonant excitation of atoms in an intense standing light-wave in the presence of off-resonant ac-Stark shifts. The model is used in the analysis and interpretation of a measurement of the ac-Stark shifts of the static-electric-field-induced \mbox{${\rm 6s^2}~ ^1{\rm S}_0~\to ~{\rm 5d6s}~ ^3{\rm D}_1\:$} transition at 408 nm in atomic Yb. The results are in agreement with estimates of the ac-Stark shift of the transition under the assumption that the shift is dominated by that of the ${\rm 6s^2 \:} ^1{\rm S}_0\:$ ground state. A detailed description of the experiment and analysis is presented. A bi-product of this work is an independent determination (from the saturation behavior of the 408-nm transition) of the Stark transition polarizability, which is found to be in agreement with our earlier measurement. This work is part of the ongoing effort aimed at a precision measurement of atomic parity-violation effects in Yb.

description: The reliability of the increasing number of modern applications and systems strongly depends on interconnecting technology. Complex systems which usually need to exchange, among other things, multimedia data together with safety-related information, as in the automotive or avionic industry, for example, make demands on both the high bandwidth and the deterministic behavior of the communication. TTEthernet is a protocol that has been developed to face these requirements while providing the generous bandwidth of Ethernet up to 1\,Gbit/s and enhancing its determinism by the Time-Triggered message transmission which follows the predetermined schedule. Therefore, synthesizing a good schedule which meets all the real-time requirements is essential for the performance of the whole system. In this paper, we study the concept of creating the communication schedules for the Time-Triggered traffic while minimizing its makespan. The aim is to maximize the uninterrupted gap for remaining traffic classes in each integration cycle. The provided scheduling algorithm, based on the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem formulation and the load balancing heuristic, obtains near-optimal (within 15\% of non-tight lower bound) solutions in 5 minutes even for industrial sized instances. The universality of the provided method allows easily modify or extend the problem statement according to particular industrial demands. Finally, the studied concept of makespan minimization is justified through the concept of scheduling with porosity according to the worst-case delay analysis of Event-Triggered traffic.
INFORMATION STRATEGIES FOR AGRICULTURAL EXPORTERS

description: This study revealed some important divergences between new entrants and those more experienced at selling overseas. While experienced exporters have well-developed informal networks of information and focus their search strategies on better long term and short term study/demand information, 'would-be' exporters tend to be more concerned with locating a 'qualified' buyers list, and getting information on export procedures, and trade logistics. In addition, would-be exporters expressed frustration with two types of obstacles where information is least likely to solve the problem: Time lags when shipping perishable goods and exogenous factors (such as precipitous changes in a foreign government).
Continuous real-time monitoring of extended perinatal mortality in the UK and Crown Dependencies

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Extended perinatal mortality (stillbirths and neonatal deaths) in the UK and Crown Dependencies is monitored by MBRRACE-UK, a national surveillance programme. Extended perinatal death of babies delivered within individual maternity and neonatal care providers in a previous year are analysed and presented in the form of extended perinatal mortality rates in the MBRRACE-UK Perinatal Mortality Surveillance Report. Aggregate analysis such as this masks unexpected fluctuations in the incidence of mortality, thus concealing high or low rates of the adverse outcome in the organisations. Furthermore, uncovering the reasons for a high or low rate of mortality from past data results in delayed opportunities for learning and implementing appropriate initiatives, consequently delaying the reduction of avoidable extended perinatal deaths.This PhD is in collaboration with MBRRACE-UK to improve the surveillance of extended perinatal mortality in healthcare. Statistical process control methodology is investigated for prospective and continuous monitoring of extended perinatal mortality. The methodology is studied for individual Neonatal Networks, Trusts and Health Boards across the UK and Crown Dependencies as part of national surveillance, with the view of implementation by MBRRACE-UK. Statistical process control methods have been endorsed in healthcare to monitor poor patient outcomes; however, their utility in perinatal medicine to reliably detect a high or low rate of a rare adverse outcome such as extended perinatal mortality in a timely manner is unclear when:1. The sociodemographic information on births is not available to MBRRACE-UK in a timely manner from multiple statutory sources.2. The organisations have different number of annual births and extended perinatal deaths.3. The probability of extended perinatal mortality varies for each birth due to their individual risk profile.These issues are explored in detail in the thesis.

description: Efficient and stable algorithms for the calculation of spectral quantities and correlation functions are some of the key tools in computational condensed matter physics. In this article we review basic properties and recent developments of Chebyshev expansion based algorithms and the Kernel Polynomial Method. Characterized by a resource consumption that scales linearly with the problem dimension these methods enjoyed growing popularity over the last decade and found broad application not only in physics. Representative examples from the fields of disordered systems, strongly correlated electrons, electron-phonon interaction, and quantum spin systems we discuss in detail. In addition, we illustrate how the Kernel Polynomial Method is successfully embedded into other numerical techniques, such as Cluster Perturbation Theory or Monte Carlo simulation.

description: For multivariant Wright-Fisher models in population genetics, we introduce equilibrium states, expressed by fluctuations of probability ratio, in contrast to the traditionally used fluctuations, expressed by the difference between the current value of the random process and its equilibrium value. Then the drift component of the dynamic process of gene frequencies, primarily expressed as a ratio of two quadratic forms, is transformed into a cubic parabola with a certain normalization factor.
