description: In the early 1980's Thurston gave a topological characterization of rational maps whose critical points have finite iterated orbits (\cite{Th,DH1}): given a topological branched covering $F$ of the two sphere with finite critical orbits, if $F$ has no Thurston obstructions then $F$ possesses an invariant complex structure (up to isotopy), and is combinatorially equivalent to a rational map. We extend this theory to the setting of rational maps with infinite critical orbits, assuming a certain kind of hyperbolicity. Our study includes also holomorphic dynamical systems that arise as coverings over disconnected Riemann surfaces of finite type. The obstructions we encounter are similar to those of Thurston. We give concrete criteria for verifying whether or not such obstructions exist. Among many possible applications, these results can be used for example to construct holomorphic maps with prescribed dynamical properties; or to give a parameter description, both local and global, of bifurcations of complex dynamical systems.

Crude, Cash and Culture Change: The Huaorani of Amazonian Ecuador

description: The idea of indigenous populations around the world as “noble savages” dominated literature for much of the 20th century. Further research into different tribes’ environmental practices as well as their integration into the market economy has begun to change this view. In Ecuadorian Amazon, the Huaorani are the most recently assimilated group, with some sub-groups still resisting contact with the outside. With vast reserves of oil present under Huaorani land, this indigenous group has quickly become integrated into national and international markets. The focus of this study is on one Huaorani community, Gareno, which is located along an oil road within the Amazon. Community members were interviewed in order to better understand why they lived along the oil road and how they felt it impacted their daily lives. Responses showed that the residents have chosen to live and stay in Gareno because of the health and education opportunities and ease of transport, but also because this area is ancestral territory. In addition, they left former villages, which were deep inside the forest, due to social conflict. It is notable that these push and pull factors complicate the notion of “noble savages” (who either continue to be isolated from the market or are unable to cope with it) and highlight indigenous agency and decision-making during a period of rapid cultural, economic, and ecological change. As the people of Gareno look to further improve their quality of life through development, it is important to foster more nuanced views of indigenous peoples to not only devise appropriate conservation and development policies but also to prevent a backlash when they do not conform to idealized Western images.

Canadian/New Zealand genotype-environment interaction trial : comparison of growth traits of Canadian and New Zealand dairy cattle in Canada
Creators: name: Kakwaya, Damian Saranga Muhongo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study, being part of a larger project - "Canadian/New Zealand GxE Interaction Trial" - is comparing Canadian and New Zealand sired heifers for growth traits within Canada, since differences for growth traits were found in the Polish strain comparison (Jasiorowski et al., 1987) and due to selection programs in the two countries. Twenty Canadian Holstein and twenty New Zealand Friesian progeny tested, A.I. bulls were randomly mated to over 1,000 cows in 10 Canadian herds. 3,539 records of weight and wither height from 475 heifers (i.e. 241 Canadian and 234 New Zealand sired) were generated. Subsets of the data for different stages of heifer maturity were analyzed separately. Herd and strain effects least squares means were estimated using analysis of variance. Genetic and phenotypic and correlations and heritability for weight and wither height were estimated by a Derivative-Free Restricted Maximum Likelihood (DFREML) algorithm and an animal model (AM). No differences were found between sire strains for weight except at 15 and 18 months where sib groups of Canadian (CN) sires were heavier than their New Zealand (NZ) contemporaries (393 vs 386 kg and 447 vs 445 kg, respectively). CN sired heifers were taller at all ages except at birth, 3 and 9 months of age. At 24 months CN heifers were 136 cm while NZ heifers were 133 cm. Heritability estimates for weight at birth was 0.62 for the CN strain and 0.59 for the NZ strain. CN estimates (3 to 6 months) and NZ estimates (3 to 9 months) were close to zero. Between 9 to 24 months CN strain estimates ranged from 0.44 to 0.69 while NZ estimates were 0.17 to 0.51. The joint estimates ranged from 0.10 to 0.66. Heritability estimates for wither height for CN strain at birth and between 9 to 21 months were between 0.34 to 0.66 and close to zero between 3 to 6 and at 24 months. The NZ estimates at birth, 18, 21 and 24 months were between 0.36 to 0.93 but close to zero between 3 to 15 months. The joint estimates ranged from 0.32 to 0.75 between 12 to 24 months. Genetic correlations between weight and wither height ranged from 0.62 to 1.0 for CN strain and from -0.04 to 0.91 for NZ strain between 4.5 to 21 months. At six months of age the genetic correlation for CN strain was -0.01 and NZ strain was 0.54. At birth, both sire groups had a genetic correlation of 1.0. At 24 months NZ strain had a genetic correlation of 0.84 while that of the CN strain was 0. Genetic correlations for the joint analysis ranged from 0.61 to 1.0 for all ages except at 6 months (0.18). Phenotypic correlations between weight and wither height were between 0.33 to 0.60 for CN group and 0.33 to 0.62 for NZ group. The joint estimates were 0.36 to 0.61. There were no differences in the phenotypic variances except at 9, 12 and 15 months. Genetic variances were different at all ages except at birth for weight.

description: Hydrogen-bonded networks in 1-propanol-methanol binary mixture are studied using molecular dynamics simulation along with experimental techniques (FTIR, dielectric spectroscopy and refractive index measurements) for the entire concentration range. The structure of hydrogen-bonded networks is studied through radial distribution function, hydrogen bond statistics and graph theoretical analysis from molecular dynamics. It is observed that the probability of hydrogen bonding is maximum in methanol molecules followed by hydrogen bonding between methanol and 1-propanol molecules and minimum among 1-propanol molecules, as the concentration changes. The graph theory results show the formation of linear chain hydrogen bond networks, with no caged structures, which is validated from the experimental results. Further, the deconvolution of the FTIR OH peak suggests the presence of linear multimers in all concentrations of the binary system. Average degree of the hydrogen-bonded networks from graph theory indicates a complex networks among pure alcohols and dimers between methanol and 1-propanol in their binary mixtures at all concentrations. The negative values of excess permittivity indicate that the components of the mixture interact in a manner such that the net dipole polarisation decreases.
The nature of the Wolf-Rayet galaxy Mrk 209 from photoionization models

description: We present a detailed photoionisation model of the brightest knot of star format ion in the blue compact dwarf galaxy Mrk 209. The model reproduces the intensiti es of main lines emitted by the ionised gas, resulting in a very good agreement between observed and predicted line temperatures and chemical abundances of the observed ionic species. The model has been calculated using the spectral energy distribution of a massive cluster of recent formation as the ionising source. The features of Wolf-Rayet stars observed in the spectrum of the object, along with its ionising properties, lead to different solutions for the ages and characteristics of the ionising stellar populations.The found solutions are compatible with either a composite population of two ionising clusters or a continuous star formation. In the first case, a young cluster, with an age less than 3 Myr, would be responsible for most of the ionisation properties while an older cluster, with either 3.2 or 4.2 Myr, would be responsible for the emission of the observed WR features in the spectrum of the knot. In the second case, the duration of the star formation episode is found to be 3.6 Myr. The addition of a certain amout of dust was required in order to reproduce correctly the measured electron temperatures. This dust implies a gas/dust ratio identical to that in the Milky Way, and a fraction of absorbed photons of f = 0.58. The taking into account the dust grain physics combined with a thick-shell geometry solves the problem of the heating in this object and allows the fitting of the auroral lines, the line temperatures and the ionisation structure of the nebula with a negligible presence of temperature fluctuations, in agreement with the most recent results found for this type of objects from the measurement of the Balmer jump temperature.

description: Due to its variable pathophysiology, lack of established objective biomarkers, and enormous socioeconomic impacts, there has been a growing demand for more research into mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and rapidly deployable objective methods to diagnose it. A large-sample single-subject methodology is proposed to examine the utility of event-related potentials (ERPs) and how they can serve as a salient functional component of the diagnostic process. The proposed study utilizes baseline testing and the well-established 3-stimulus auditory oddball paradigm to compare longitudinal changes in P3 and N1 component responses, gauging its utility in comparison with existing subjective measures for mTBI such as the SCAT5 and RPQ tests. The study will further help bridge existing knowledge deficits by correcting previous contradictory P3 datasets, and establish a standard methodology for which future research can use to examine other sensory modalities. Future implications and limitations are discussed.

description: In this paper we study properties of lattice trigonometric functions of lattice angles in lattice geometry. We introduce the definition of sums of lattice angles and establish a necessary and sufficient condition for three angles to be the angles of some lattice triangle in terms of lattice tangents. This condition is a version of the Euclidean condition: three angles are the angles of some triangle iff their sum equals π. Further we find the necessary and sufficient condition for an ordered n-tuple of angles to be the angles of some convex lattice polygon. In conclusion we show applications to theory of complex projective toric varieties, and a list of unsolved problems and questions.

Energy Efficient Refurbishment of Old Listed Dwellings: The Case of Victorian Housing Stock
Creators: name: Makrodimitri, Magdalini
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: Architecture has to contribute to climate change recovering, by designing in a more responsible way respecting nature, local climatic, cultural, social and economic conditions, using the inexhaustible energy of the sun, wind, earth and water as Renewable energy Resources and existing local materials and resources as well. Making buildings more sustainable to time and space means that we also have to respect cultural heritage, the past, the present and the future. Architecture has also to ensure thermal comfort and healthy indoor environment during the whole year, while diminish conventional fuels consumption on the base of bioclimatic, energy efficient approach. Buildings in use or in course of erection account for over 50% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, upgrading old inefficient buildings so as to meet principles of bioclimatic design is an effective way to reduce energy use in industrialized countries. (Smith, 2005) However, refurbishment schemes should include both environmental design and conservation of architectural, historical and social values of old existing stock. This paper consists of two parts. At first there is a review of the objectives, targets and studies regarding the old existing UK housing stock, in order to highlight the principles and advantages of bioclimatic design and energy efficient improvements to listed buildings’ fabric and services. The second part contains an evaluation of performance of the recently refurbished 17 St Augustine’s road Victorian House in London. Critical assessment of its current performance has been carried out according to winter and summer on site measurements, simulations and calculations in TAS and SAP softwares. This study will be focuses more on winter performance and annual heating fuel demands. Occupants’ behaviour and its impact on Low Energy Victorian Dwelling’s (LEVH) performance has also been investigated through a questionnaire survey, while the cost of refurbishment scheme is evaluated in terms of positive effectiveness to annual savings.

description: The formulation of national research policies would benefit greatly from reliable strategic analysis of the scientific infrastructure, aimed at identifying the relevant strengths and weaknesses at field level. Bibliometric methodologies thus far proposed in the literature are not completely satisfactory. This work proposes a novel "output-to-input-oriented" approach, which permits identification of research strengths and weaknesses on the basis of the ratios of top scientists and highly cited articles to research expenditures in each field. The proposed approach is applied to the Italian academic system. 2012-2016 scientific publications are analyzed, in the 218 research fields where bibliometric assessment is appropriate.

We construct the class-operator that incorporates the information about a generic time-smeared quantity. These class-operators are employed for the construction of Positive-Operator-Valued-Measures for the time-averaged quantities. The scheme highlights the distinction between velocity and momentum in quantum theory. Propositions about velocity and momentum are represented by different class-operators, hence they define different probability measures. We provide some examples, we study the classical limit and we construct probabilities for generalized time-extended phase space variables.

Tool wear monitoring in face milling
Creators: name: Hosepyan, Yetvart
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate tool wear monitoring using Fourier Series simulation of steady state cutting forces. These simulations show that mean and fundamental values are all that is required to accurately predict immersion and tool wear (high frequency terms are ignored). It is found that the ratio of the magnitude of the fundamental values of force over the quasi-mean resultant force are insensitive to wear, while the same ratio is found to change markedly with immersion. Due to the nature of wear and different cutting conditions, two different wear identification methods are proposed. The first type of wear is chipping of the primary edge; the ratio of quasi-mean resultant force over mean torque gives the necessary indication without being affected by normal wear. The second type of wear studied is the normal wear band, where the axial force, F[formula omitted], (which was modelled using equivalent chip thickness, h[formula omitted], and equivalent approach angle,[formula omitted]) is found to be useful in the identification of this type of wear. The mean value of F[formula omitted] over the mean value of torque gives information about the state of normal wear while being insensitive to chipping. Work on an insitu sensor is also reported. Preliminary investigation shows that a deposit comprising a hybrid resistor on the flank face of a throw-away insert has the potential to monitor wear due to the permanent increase in resistance of the deposit as cutting proceeds. A U.S. patent has been obtained for this idea.

Understanding Sustainability through Traditional Maasai Pastoral Systems in Southern Kenya
Creators: name: Impink, Emma
name: Gaynor, Kaitlyn M.
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: In the developed world, we tend to think of sustainability as a newly articulated solution to challenges of environmental resource degradation and issues of social and economic injustice. However, pastoralism, as traditionally practiced by the Maasai of southern Kenya, is intimately tied to the land and responds to climatic variation of the region. As a result of a shift toward privatization of land tenure, traditional pastoral systems are no longer viable. While studying abroad with The School For Field Studies, we became aware of the struggle many Maasai face as they attempt to continue pastoralism in an increasingly hostile environment. Ultimately, development efforts in the region should focus not on implementing exogenous concepts of ‘sustainability’ but rather on supporting and adapting systems that are already in place.

Economic Restructuring and Poverty/Income Inequality in Latin America
Creators: name: Bucciferro, Justin
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: This study uses an econometric approach to evaluate whether structural reforms in Latin America contributed to poverty and income inequality over the period from 1985 to 2000. Data on structural reforms is employed from the Inter-American Development Bank‟s Structural Policy Index, and poverty and income inequality data is obtained from the World Bank’s PovcalNet database. Using a panel data analysis with controls for GDP per-capita and political institutions, the overall openness level is found to be significantly positively related to the percent of the population living under the poverty line, the poverty gap, the Gini coefficient, the income ratio of the richest to poorest deciles of the population, and the mean log deviation. Specific reforms that are significantly positively related to poverty and/or inequality include privatizations and financial deregulation. Trade liberalization, average income, and democratic institutions demonstrate a negative, albeit weak, relationship to poverty and inequality.

Measuring the Cosmic Shear in Fourier Space
Creators: name: Zhang, Jun
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose to measure the weak cosmic shear using the spatial derivatives of the galaxy surface brightness field. The measurement should be carried out in Fourier space, in which the point spread function (PSF) can be transformed to a desired form with multiplications, and the spatial derivatives can be easily measured. This method is mathematically well defined regardless of the galaxy morphology and the form of the PSF, and involves simple procedures of image processing. Furthermore, with high resolution galaxy images, this approach allows one to probe the shape distortions of galaxy substructures, which can potentially provide much more independent shear measurements than the ellipticities of the whole galaxy. We demonstrate the efficiency of this method using computer-generated mock galaxy images.

description: Fossil groups are galaxy structures that probably underwent a nearly complete fusion of all intermediate magnitude galaxies into a single large central dominant galaxy. However, the formation and evolution processes of these structures are still not well understood. In order to test this scenario and its implications we studied the fossil group RXJ1119.7+2126, based on available spectroscopy of the galaxies in the low density large scale region around the fossil group and deep B and R band imaging of its close vicinity and three comparison fields. We used spectroscopic data to investigate the degree of isolation of RXJ1119.7+2126 in terms of bright neighbour galaxies. The imaging data were used to derive the color magnitude relation and select faint galaxies statistically belonging to this structure. The structure appears as a very isolated group exhibiting a red sequence in the color magnitude relation with characteristics close to the red sequences already observed for other fossil groups. All these results can be interpreted consistently in the framework of the building up process generally proposed for fossil groups.

description: Electronic Health Records (EHRs) provide a wealth of information for machine learning algorithms to predict the patient outcome from the data including diagnostic information, vital signals, lab tests, drug administration, and demographic information. Machine learning models can be built, for example, to evaluate patients based on their predicted mortality or morbidity and to predict required resources for efficient resource management in hospitals. In this paper, we demonstrate that an attacker can manipulate the machine learning predictions with EHRs easily and selectively at test time by backdoor attacks with the poisoned training data. Furthermore, the poison we create has statistically similar features to the original data making it hard to detect, and can also attack multiple machine learning models without any knowledge of the models. With less than 5% of the raw EHR data poisoned, we achieve average attack success rates of 97% on mortality prediction tasks with MIMIC-III database against Logistic Regression, Multilayer Perceptron, and Long Short-term Memory models simultaneously.
Must Biodiversity Hot-Spots Be Social Not-Spots? Win-Win Ecology as Sustainable Social Policy

Year: 2020

description: Reconciliation ecology, a family of socially inclusive conservation strategies that depart from traditional protected area management, is on trial. Skeptics find it problematic for a range of reasons, faulting it for lack of evidence and calling it a “bio-diversion” from the agenda of strict protected area expansion. The present paper has a dual agenda. Building on the work of Michael Rosenzweig and fortifying it with new information from different world regions, I write in support of re-embedding conservation in human-dominated landscapes. Simultaneously, I suggest that current protected areas yield conservation refugees, environmental backlash, and set-backs to sustainability efforts.

description: The Kowalevski top in two constant fields is known as the unique profound example of an integrable Hamiltonian system with three degrees of freedom not reducible to a family of systems in fewer dimensions. As the first approach to topological analysis of this system we find the critical set of the integral map; this set consists of the trajectories with number of frequencies less than three. We obtain the equations of the bifurcation diagram in R^3. A correspondence to the Appelrot classes in the classical Kowalevski problem is established. The admissible regions for the values of the first integrals are found in the form of some inequalities of general character and boundary conditions for the induced diagrams on energy levels.

description: We demonstrate the dynamics of stimulated Raman scattering in designed high-Q/Vm silicon photonic band gap nanocavities through the coupled-mode theory framework towards optically-pumped silicon lasing. The interplay of other chi(3) effects such as two-photon absorption and optical Kerr, related free-carrier dynamics, thermal effects, as well as linear losses such as cavity radiation and linear material absorption are included and investigated numerically. Our results clarify the relative contributions and evolution of the mechanisms, and demonstrate the lasing and shutdown thresholds. Our studies illustrate the conditions for continuous-wave and pulsed highly-efficient Raman frequency conversion to be practically realized in monolithic silicon high-Q/Vm photonic band gap defect cavities.

description: The Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) has become a powerful numerical method that can be applied to low-dimensional strongly correlated fermionic and bosonic systems. It allows for a very precise calculation of static, dynamic and thermodynamic properties. Its field of applicability has now extended beyond Condensed Matter, and it is now successfully used in Quantum Chemistry, Statistical Mechanics, Quantum Information Theory, Nuclear and High Energy Physics as well. In this article, we briefly review the main aspects of the method and present some of the most relevant applications so as to give an overview on the scope and possibilities of DMRG. We focus on the most important extensions of the method such as the calculation of dynamical properties, the application to classical systems, finite temperature simulations, phonons and disorder, field theory, time-dependent properties and the ab initio calculation of electronic states in molecules. The recent quantum information interpretation, the development of highly accurate time-dependent algorithms and the possibility of using the DMRG as the impurity-solver of the Dynamical Mean Field Method (DMFT) give new insights into its present and potential uses. We review the numerous very recent applications of these techniques where the DMRG has shown to be one of the most reliable and versatile methods in modern computational physics.

description: Flaws in the process of modulation, or encoding of key bits in the quadratures of the electromagnetic light field, can make continuous-variable quantum key distribution systems susceptible to leakage of secret information. Here, we report such a modulation leakage vulnerability in a system that uses an optical in-phase and quadrature modulator to implement a single sideband encoding scheme. The leakage arises from the limited suppression of a quantum-information-carrying sideband during modulation. Based on the results from a proof-of-concept experiment, we theoretically analyse the impact of this vulnerability. Our results indicate that the leakage reduces the range over which a positive secret key can be obtained, and can even lead to a security breach if not properly taken into account. We also study the effectiveness of additional trusted noise as a countermeasure to this vulnerability.

Where Science Meets Politics: Controversy Surrounding the Relationship Between Population Growth and Climate Change
Creators: name: Carver, Louise
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: There is an increasingly vociferous debate about whether population growth is relevant for climate mitigation policy. The production of scientific knowledge about this relationship, its use in policy and public arenas and interpretation by numerous third parties thereafter presents a political and ethical conundrum in which normative values are easily hidden. Rather than assess the evidence for the contribution population growth might make to future greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), and the implicit or explicit population policy implications therein, this paper engages with a sociological analysis of the process of knowledge production to reveal why the controversy persists. This paper seeks to equip policy makers with a framework through which to navigate such values and thus overcome the apparent policy bind on the issue.

description: We analyze the asymptotics of the Wigner $3j$-symbol as a matrix element connecting eigenfunctions of a pair of integrable systems, obtained by lifting the problem of the addition of angular momenta into the space of Schwinger's oscillators. A novel element is the appearance of compact Lagrangian manifolds that are not tori, due to the fact that the observables defining the quantum states are noncommuting. These manifolds can be quantized by generalized Bohr-Sommerfeld rules and yield all the correct quantum numbers. The geometry of the classical angular momentum vectors emerges in a clear manner. Efficient methods for computing amplitude determinants in terms of Poisson brackets are developed and illustrated.

Unconventional quasiparticle lifetime in undoped graphene

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We address the question of how small can the quasiparticle decay rate be at low energies in undoped graphene, where kinematical constraints are known to prevent the decay into particle-hole excitations. For this purpose, we study the renormalization of the phonon dispersion by many-body effects, which turns out to be very strong in the case of the out-of-plane phonons at the K point of the spectrum. We show that these evolve into a branch of very soft modes that provide the relevant channel for quasiparticle decay, at energies below the scale of the optical phonon modes. In this regime, we find that the decay rate is proportional to the cube of the quasiparticle energy. This implies that a crossover should be observed in transport properties from the linear dependence characteristic of the high-energy regime to the much slower decay rate due to the soft phonon modes.

Factors Affecting Farmers Decisions on Fertilizer Use: A Case Study for the Chaobai Watershed in Northern China
Creators: name: Zhou, Yuan
name: Yang, Hong
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: The Chaobai watershed in northern China is the most important source of drinking water for Beijing. The level of fertilizer use, especially overuse, as well as farming practices in the region have therefore a great impact on the water quality downstream. This study analyses the factors influencing farmers’ decision on fertilizer use and the implications for water quality. The analysis is based on a survey of 349 farm households. It takes into consideration both farm and farmer specific characteristics and farmers’ subjective evaluation of factors shaping their decisions. Regression models are used to examine the determinants of fertilizer use intensity across farm households and to investigate the factors influencing the overuse of nitrogen. The results suggest the significance of many of these ‘subjective’ factors, indicating the importance of considering them in the analyses. The results also show that irrigation, gains in crop yield and farming goal of earning are positively correlated to fertilizer use intensity while farm size, manure application, soil fertility and the distance to fertilizer market are negatively correlated. Investigation of the overuse problem shows that higher education level significantly reduces the probability of overfertilization. Based on these findings a few policy relevant implications are discussed.

Multiple phases in stochastic dynamics: geometry and probabilities

description: Stochastic dynamics is generated by a matrix of transition probabilities. Certain eigenvectors of this matrix provide observables, and when these are plotted in the appropriate multi-dimensional space the phases (in the sense of phase transitions) of the underlying system become manifest as extremal points. This geometrical construction, which we call an \textit{observable-representation of state space}, can allow hierarchical structure to be observed. It also provides a method for the calculation of the probability that an initial points ends in one or another asymptotic state.
Promoting Renewable Energy in Longyearbyen: A Sustainable Means to Prevent Svalbard’s Environmental Degradation
Creators: name: Buonsanti, Fabio
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: This study aims to separately investigate: 1.The political reasons behind Norway‟s controversial decision to encourage a coal enterprise on Svalbard (an archipelago in the Arctic) and, 2.The current and future potential of wind and solar energy as untapped renewable sources, locally exploited through a hybrid wind-PV system. In doing so this preliminary study attempts to provide insights for the implementation of an alternative, sustainable strategy to keep a Norwegian year-round settlement at Longyearbyen, Svalbard, without any recourse to polluting mining operations. Such an eventuality, despite the need for further research, is promisingly described as feasible, environmentally advantageous and politically conceivable.
