description: Let BS(m,n) denote the set of base sequences (A;B;C;D), with A and B of length m and C and D of length n. The base sequence conjecture (BSC) asserts that BS(n+1,n) exist (i.e., are non-empty) for all n. This is known to be true for n <= 36 and when n is a Golay number. We show that it is also true for n=37 and n=38. It is worth pointing out that BSC is stronger than the famous Hadamard matrix conjecture. In order to demonstrate the abundance of base sequences, we have previously attached to BS(n+1,n) a graph Gamma_n and computed the Gamma_n for n <= 27. We now extend these computations and determine the Gamma_n for n=28,...,35. We also propose a conjecture describing these graphs in general.

Blackbody Radiation and the Scaling Symmetry of Relativistic Classical Electron Theory with Classical Electromagnetic Zero-Point Radiation
Creators: name: Boyer, Timothy H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is pointed out that relativistic classical electron theory with classical electromagnetic zero-point radiation has a scaling symmetry which is suitable for understanding the equilibrium behavior of classical thermal radiation at a spectrum other than the Rayleigh-Jeans spectrum. In relativistic classical electron theory, the masses of the particles are the only scale-giving parameters associated with mechanics while the action-angle variables are scale invariant. The theory thus separates the interaction of the action variables of matter and radiation from the scale-giving parameters. Classical zero-point radiation is invariant under scattering by the charged particles of relativistic classical electron theory. The basic ideas of the matter -radiation interaction are illustrated in a simple relativistic classical electromagnetic example.

description: Die wenig bekannten Abbaureviere für Kohle aus der mittleren Obertrias (Norium) von Ostwürttemberg mit den Bergwerken in Durlangen, Mittelbronn und Obergröningen werden in dieser Arbeit näher beschrieben. Für die Region Ostwürttemberg besaß der Abbau dieser Bodenschätze eine gewisse Bedeutung, vor allem durch die Pyrit-Röstung und die Weiterverarbeitung zu Alaun, Vitriol-Salzen und Vitriolöl. Die geologische Entstehungsgeschichte der Kohleflöze ist vermutlich eng verknüpft mit der Ablagerung von Pflanzenmaterial in lakustrinen Becken mit regelmäßigen Überflutungs- und Trockenzeiten (Überflutungsmoore). Die Genese dieser Ablagerungen wird untermauert durch zahlreiche Funde detailreich erhaltener verkieselter Koniferenhölzer sowie von Holzkohle. Neue Einblicke in den historischen Abbau der Ostalb lieferten Bilder einer Grubenbegehung im Jahre 2009 im Bergwerk Mittelbronn.

Physiological and behavioural performance metrics of Athabasca rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) across varying thermal regimes in the Athabasca river watershed
Creators: name: Hnytka, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Stream temperature is a key driver of physiological function in ectothermic fish, and fish have clear upper and lower limits of thermal habitat, bounding a range of optimal conditions. Predicted stream temperature increases from climate change are a major threat to Athabasca Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss; ARBT) which are listed as Endangered under Schedule 1 of Canada’s Species at Risk Act. Knowledge gaps concerning temperature preferences, thermal limits, and habitat suitability need to be addressed to effectively manage and recover this endemic ecotype. In this study, ARBT were collected from July – August in 2021 and 2022 from three streams in the McLeod River watershed, Alberta, Canada, representing a gradient of thermal regimes ranging from cold to warm. Fish were tested for four physiological metrics: agitation temperature (Tag), critical thermal maxima (CTmax), avoidance temperature (Tavoid) and preferred temperature (Tpref) using a portable streamside laboratory. Both Tag and Tavoid metrics are indicators of behavioural avoidance responses, whereas Tpref represents the optimal temperature zone for metabolism and growth. Finally, CTmax can be interpreted as a population’s upper thermal limit where long term survival is reduced. These metrics can influence habitat selection and distributional limits, and will likely be increasingly important indices of thermal performance and stress under climate change. Determining whether ARBT populations are able to cope with varying stream temperatures by plastically shifting their thermal tolerance is a key consideration for understanding their adaptive potential. Results from stream-side experiments provide strong evidence that the majority of thermal responses (CTmax, Tavoid and Tpref) are plastic allowing for a greater level of physiological resilience. However, given that increasing stream temperatures may lead to subpar thermal habitat, ARBT will likely be forced to adapt or find new habitat in certain streams. This work is intended to support the prioritization of recovery locations within the Athabasca Rainbow Trout’s distribution.

Anticipation in Social Systems: the Incursion and Communication of Meaning

description: In social systems, meaning can be communicated in addition to underlying processes of the information exchange. Meaning processing incurs on information processing with hindsight, while information processing recursively follows the time axis. The sole assumption of social relatedness as a variable among groups of agents provides sufficient basis for deriving the logistic map as a first-order approximation of the social system. The anticipatory formulation of this equation can be derived for both anticipation in the interaction term and in the aggregation among subgroups. Using this formula in a cellular automaton, an observer is generated as a reflection of the system under observation. The social system of interactions among observations can improve on the representations entertained by each of the observing systems.

description: We elucidate the structural transitions in a helical off-lattice homopolymer induced by crowding agents, as function of the number of monomers ($N$) and volume fraction ($ϕ_c$) of crowding particles. At $ϕ_c = 0$, the homopolymer undergoes transitions from a random coil to a helix, helical hairpin \textbf{HH}, and helix bundle \textbf{HB} structures depending on $N$, and temperature. Crowding induces chain compaction that can promote \textbf{HH} or \textbf{HB} formation depending on $ϕ_c$. Typically, the helical content decreases which is reflected in the decrease in the transition temperatures that depend on $ϕ_c$, $N$, and the size of the crowding particles.

description: We have conducted millimeter interferometric observations of the Orion Molecular Cloud-2 (OMC-2) FIR 6 region at an angular resolution of $\sim$ 4$\arcsec$ - 7$\arcsec$ with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array (NMA). In the 3.3 mm continuum emission we detected dusty core counterparts of the previously identified FIR sources (FIR 6a, 6b, 6c, and 6d), and moreover, resolved FIR 6a into three dusty cores. The size and mass of these cores are estimated to be 1100-5900 AU and 0.19-5.5 M$_{\odot}$, respectively. We found that in the $^{12}$CO ($J$=1--0) emission FIR 6b, 6c, and 6d eject the molecular outflow and that the FIR 6c outflow also exhibits at least two collimated jet-like components in the SiO ($J$=2--1) emission. At the tip of one of the SiO components there appears abrupt increase of the SiO line width ($\sim$ 15 km s$^{-1}$), where the three resolved cores in FIR 6a seem to delineate the tip. These results imply the presence of the interaction and the bowshock front between the FIR 6c molecular outflow and FIR 6a.

description: This thesis deals with the research into the dietary habits and cardiovascular health status of a representative sample of ethnic Chinese in the Melbourne Metropolitan area and the subsequent examination of the intra-population correlations between food intake patters and preventable cardiovascular risk factors. The 547 study subjects ages 25 years and over were members of Chinese households randomly selected from the Melbourne telephone directory using a presumptive Chinese surname list. Household participation rate was 72.6%. More than 95% of the study subjects were immigrants to Australia, having been born in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. Comparisons were made with a representative sample (electoral roll) of Australian-at-large derived from the National heart Foundation of Australia surveys of 1983 and 1989.
Anomalous Right Vertebral Artery Originating from the Aortic Arch Distal to the Left Subclavian Artery: a Case Report and Review of the Literature

Year: 2023

description: Objective—Present a case report of an anomalous origin of the right vertebral artery originating from the aortic arch distal to the left subclavian along with a review of cases reported to date in the literature. Methods—Provide background information on this rare anomaly, present the case report, review the literature using PubMed, summarize previously reported cases to date, and discuss the underlying embryologic development of this anomaly along with its significance. Results—We report a 54-year-old man presenting with a subarachnoid hemorrhage referred for diagnostic cerebral arteriography who was found to have an anomalous origin of the right vertebral artery originating from the aortic arch distal to the left subclavian artery in conjunction with a bovine arch. We also report 13 previously reported cases along with their other associated variant anatomy. Conclusions—Based upon our present case and previously documented cases to date, this anomaly is a rare finding. An understanding of aberrant anatomy and its embryologic basis is paramount to avoiding inadvertent vascular injury during diagnostic cerebral angiography. Therefore, this abnormality must be considered if selective vertebral artery catheterization is difficult or unsuccessful.

description: A two-phase model, where the plasma expansion is an isothermal one when laser irradiates and a following adiabatic one after laser ends, has been proposed to predict the maximum energy of the proton beams induced in the ultra-intense laser-foil interactions. The hot-electron recirculation in the ultra-intense laser-solid interactions has been accounted in and described by the time-dependent hot-electron density continuously in this model. The dilution effect of electron density as electrons recirculate and spread laterally has been considered. With our model, the scaling laws of maximum ion energy have been achieved and the dependence of the scaling coefficients on laser intensity, pulse duration and target thickness have been obtained. Some interesting results have been predicted: the adiabatic expansion is an important process of the ion acceleration and cannot be neglected; the whole acceleration time is about 10-20 times of laser pulse duration; the larger the laser intensity, the more sensitive the maximum ion energy to the change of focus radius, and so on.

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: The calculations of the local and global properties of two band superconductors have been presented with particular attention to the role of the inter-orbital scattering of pairs. The properties of such superconductors are very different from a single band or typical two band systems with dominant intra-band pairing interactions. The role of Van Hove singularity in one of the bands on the properties of intra-band clean superconductor has been discussed. It leads to marked increase of superconducting transition temperature in the weak coupling limit. We study the inhomogeneous systems in which the characteristics change from place to place by solving the Bogolubov-de Gennes equations for small clusters. The suppression of the superconducting order parameter by the single impurity scattering the fermions between bands is contrasted with that due to intra-band impurity scattering. The results obtained for impure systems have been shown as a maps of local density of states, the order parameter and gap function. They can be directly compared with STM spectra of the real material.

description: Methods developed for mapping the journal structures contained in aggregated journal-journal citations in the Science Citation Index are applied to the Chinese Science Citation Database of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This database covers 991 journals, of which only 37 had originally English titles. Using factor-analytical and graph-analytical techniques we show that this data is dually structured. The main structure is the intellectual organization of the journals in journal groups (as in the international SCI), but the university-based journals provide an institutional layer that orients this structure towards practical ends (e.g., agriculture). The Chinese Science Citation Database exhibits the characteristics of Mode 2 in the production of scientific knowledge more than its western counterparts. The contexts of application lead to correlation (interfactorial complexity) among the components.

A Computational Algorithm based on Empirical Analysis, that Composes Sanskrit Poetry

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)

description: Poetry-writing in Sanskrit is riddled with problems for even those who know the language well. This is so because the rules that govern Sanskrit prosody are numerous and stringent. We propose a computational algorithm that converts prose given as E-text into poetry in accordance with the metrical rules of Sanskrit prosody, simultaneously taking care to ensure that sandhi or euphonic conjunction, which is compulsory in verse, is handled. The algorithm is considerably speeded up by a novel method of reducing the target search database. The algorithm further gives suggestions to the poet in case what he/she has given as the input prose is impossible to fit into any allowed metrical format. There is also an interactive component of the algorithm by which the algorithm interacts with the poet to resolve ambiguities. In addition, this unique work, which provides a solution to a problem that has never been addressed before, provides a simple yet effective speech recognition interface that would help the visually impaired dictate words in E-text, which is in turn versified by our Poetry Composer Engine.

The scope of practice of geriatric dentistry in British Columbia : an exploratory study
Creators: name: Chen, Alice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Objectives: The oral health needs of people who are frail are increasing with an aging population in Canada. The objective of this study was to explore the perceptions of dentists in British Columbia regarding their view of geriatric dentistry as a distinct scope of practice and in relation to special needs dentistry, a specialty for people with disabilities and medical conditions that require adaptations to access routine dental care. Methods: The research method that guided this study was interpretive description, which utilized a naturalistic inquiry amongst a purposeful sample and employed inductive analysis of semi-guided interviews to explore whether participants who were key informants in the dental profession perceived geriatric dentistry as a distinct scope of practice in dentistry within B.C. Qualitative data was coded and analyzed using a thematic approach. Results: A total of ten interviews were conducted. The participants perceived a geriatric patient as a person aging with frailty who is dependent on others to access oral health care. Participants expressed that general dentists in private practice had a preference to refer patients aging with frailty to a specialist or special service when treatment was outside their comfort level or when there were behavioural or other patient management challenges that were difficult to manage in the private practice setting. Participants perceived the ability to provide person-centered care through interprofessional collaboration was a core competency of geriatric dentistry which overlapped with special needs dentistry. Conclusion: The study found that participants perceived geriatric dentistry in B.C. as a distinct field from general dentistry that requires specialized knowledge and broader skill sets to address the patient management challenges associated with aging with frailty. Similar to special needs dentistry, geriatric dentistry requires person-centered care and emphasized the need for interprofessional collaboration in alternative care settings.
Circuit Design for A Measurement-Based Quantum Carry-Lookahead Adder

description: We present the design and evaluation of a quantum carry-lookahead adder (QCLA) using measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC), called MBQCLA. QCLA was originally designed for an abstract, concurrent architecture supporting long-distance communication, but most realistic architectures heavily constrain communication distances. The quantum carry-lookahead adder is faster than a quantum ripple-carry adder; QCLA has logarithmic depth while ripple adders have linear depth. MBQCLA utilizes MBQC's ability to transfer quantum states in unit time to accelerate addition. MBQCLA breaks the latency limit of addition circuits in nearest neighbor-only architectures : compared to the $Θ(n)$ limit on circuit depth for linear nearest-neighbor architectures, it can reach $Θ(log n)$ depth. MBQCLA is an order of magnitude faster than a ripple-carry adder when adding registers longer than 100 qubits, but requires a cluster state that is an order of magnitude larger. The cluster state resources can be classified as computation and communication; for the unoptimized form, $\approx$ 88 % of the resources are used for communication. Hand optimization of horizontal communication costs results in a $\approx$ 12% reduction in spatial resources for the in-place MBQCLA circuit. For comparison, a graph state quantum carry-lookahead adder (GSQCLA) uses only $\approx$ 9 % of the spatial resources of the MBQCLA.

description: Due to the fact that strontium (Sr) is not involved in the scope of supervision of drinking water in China, the Sr concentration in public drinking water and its related health risks have been neglected for a long time. In this research, public drinking water samples were collected from 314 cities across the country to reveal the concentration and spatial distribution of Sr in public drinking water. In addition, the Monte Carlo method (a statistical simulation method) was applied to evaluate the Sr intake from drinking water and human health risks among different age groups and different regions. As shown in the results, the Sr was in the concentration range of 0.005–3.11 mg/L with a mean value of 0.360 mg/L. There were significant differences in the Sr concentration in different regions; in general, it was high in the north and low in the south. The Sr intakes of infants, children, teens, and adults from drinking water were 0.273, 0.503, 0.633, and 0.784 mg/day, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between Sr concentration in drinking water and bone mineral density (BMD) in the elderly. Especially, the correlation coefficients (r) between Sr concentration and the BMD of the elderly whose age fell in the range of 60–70 years were 0.692 (male) and 0.483 (female). In addition, the Sr concentration in drinking water was positively correlated with the incidence of children’s rickets (r = 0.411), while the Ca/Br ratio was negatively correlated with the incidence of children’s rickets (r = − 0.410). According to the health risk assessment, among people of different ages, infants’ hazard index (HI) value was the highest. The mean value and 95th percentile value were 0.066 and 0.247. Non-carcinogenic risk of Sr through drinking water among different people in different regions was less than 1, which meant no significant damage to human health. This study is the first time to systematically investigate Sr in public drinking water across the whole country. More importantly, the conclusions can be applied to risk control and management of public drinking water.

description: The strong gravitational field of neutron stars in the brany universe could be described by spherically symmetric solutions with a metric in the exterior to the brany stars being of the Reissner-Nordstrom type containing a brany tidal charge representing the tidal effect of the bulk spacetime onto the star structure. We investigate the role of the tidal charge in orbital models of high-frequency quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) observed in neutron star binary systems. We focus on the relativistic precession model. We give the radial profiles of frequencies of the Keplerian (vertical) and radial epicyclic oscillations. We show how the standard relativistic precession model modified by the tidal charge fits the observational data, giving estimates of the allowed values of the tidal charge and the brane tension based on the processes going in the vicinity of neutron stars. We compare the strong field regime restrictions with those given in the weak-field limit of solar system experiments.

description: We give a global picture of the Ricci flow on the space of three-dimensional, unimodular, nonabelian metric Lie algebras considered up to isometry and scaling. The Ricci flow is viewed as a two-dimensional dynamical system for the evolution of structure constants of the metric Lie algebra with respect to an evolving orthonormal frame. This system is amenable to direct phase plane analysis, and we find that the fixed points and special trajectories in the phase plane correspond to special metric Lie algebras, including Ricci solitons and special Riemannian submersions. These results are one way to unify the study of Ricci flow on left invariant metrics on three-dimensional, simply-connected, unimodular Lie groups, which had previously been studied by a case-by-case analysis of the different Bianchi classes. In an appendix, we prove a characterization of the space of three-dimensional, unimodular, nonabelian metric Lie algebras modulo isometry and scaling.

description: The direct measurement of quality is difficult because there is no way we can measure quality factors. For measuring these factors, we have to express them in terms of metrics or models. Researchers have developed quality models that attempt to measure quality in terms of attributes, characteristics and metrics. In this work we have proposed the methodology of controlled experimentation coupled with power of Logical Scoring of Preferences to evaluate global quality of four object-oriented designs.

description: Translation-covariant Markovian master equations used in the description of decoherence and dissipation are considered in the general framework of Holevo's results on the characterization of generators of covariant quantum dynamical semigroups. A general connection between the characteristic function of classical Lévy processes and loss of coherence of the statistical operator describing the center of mass degrees of freedom of a quantum system interacting through momentum transfer events with an environment is established. The relationship with both microphysical models and experimental realizations is considered, focusing in particular on recent interferometric experiments exploring the boundaries between classical and quantum world.

description: Nonlinear statistics (i.e. statistics of permanents) on the eigenvalues of invariant random matrix models are considered for the three Dyson's symmetry classes $β=1,2,4$. General formulas in terms of hyperdeterminants are found for $β=2$. For specific cases and all $β$s, more computationally efficient results are obtained, based on symmetric functions expansions. As an application, we consider the case of quantum transport in chaotic cavities extending results from [D.V. Savin, H.-J. Sommers and W. Wieczorek, {\it Phys. Rev. B} {\bf 77}, 125332 (2008)].

description: Using a one-dimensional height integrated model, we calculate the evolution of an unequal mass binary black hole with a coplanar gas disk that contains a gap due to the presence of the secondary black hole. Viscous evolution of the outer circumbinary disk initially hardens the binary, while the inner disk drains onto the primary (central) black hole. As long as the inner disk remains cool and thin at low $\dot{M}_{\rm ext}$ (rather than becoming hot and geometrically thick), the mass of the inner disk reaches an asymptotic mass typically $\sim 10^{-3}-10^{-4}\Msun$. Once the semimajor axis shrinks below a critical value, angular momentum losses from gravitational waves dominate over viscous transport in hardening the binary. The inner disk then no longer responds viscously to the inspiraling black holes. Instead, tidal interactions with the secondary rapidly drive the inner disk into the primary. Tidal and viscous dissipation in the inner disk lead to a late time brightening in luminosity $L\propto t_{\rm minus}^{5/4}$, where $t_{\rm minus}$ is the time prior to the final merger. This late time brightening peaks $\sim 1$ day prior to the final merger at $\sim 0.1 L_{\rm Edd}$. This behavior is relatively robust because of self regulation in the coupled viscous-gravitational evolution of such binary systems. It constitutes a unique electromagnetic signature of a binary supermassive black hole merger and may allow the host galaxy to be identified if used in conjunction with the Laser Interferometric Space Antenna (LISA) localization.

description: The Markovian diffusion theory is generalized within the framework of the special theory of relativity using a modification of the mathematical calculus of diffusion on Riemannian manifolds (with definite metric) to describe diffusion on Lorentzian manifolds with an indefinite metric. A generalized Langevin equation in the fiber space of position, velocity and orthonormal velocity frames is defined from which the generalized relativistic Kramers equation in the phase space in external force fields is derived. The obtained diffusion equation is invariant under Lorentz transformations and its stationary solution is given by the Jüttner distribution. Besides a non-stationary analytical solution is derived for the example of force-free relativistic diffusion.

description: Human users have a tough time remembering long cryptographic keys. Hence, researchers, for so long, have been examining ways to utilize biometric features of the user instead of a memorable password or passphrase, in an effort to generate strong and repeatable cryptographic keys. Our objective is to incorporate the volatility of the user's biometric features into the generated key, so as to make the key unguessable to an attacker lacking significant knowledge of the user's biometrics. We go one step further trying to incorporate multiple biometric modalities into cryptographic key generation so as to provide better security. In this article, we propose an efficient approach based on multimodal biometrics (Iris and fingerprint) for generation of secure cryptographic key. The proposed approach is composed of three modules namely, 1) Feature extraction, 2) Multimodal biometric template generation and 3) Cryptographic key generation. Initially, the features, minutiae points and texture properties are extracted from the fingerprint and iris images respectively. Subsequently, the extracted features are fused together at the feature level to construct the multi-biometric template. Finally, a 256-bit secure cryptographic key is generated from the multi-biometric template. For experimentation, we have employed the fingerprint images obtained from publicly available sources and the iris images from CASIA Iris Database. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

description: We present a scheme for asymmetric quantum information splitting, where a sender distributes asymmetrically a qubit to distant agents in a network. The asymmetric distribution leads to that the agents have different powers to reconstruct the sender's qubit. In other words, the authorities of the agents for getting the quantum secret are hierarchized. The scheme does not need the agents to get together and make nonlocal operations. Our scheme can also be modified to implement controlled teleportation against uncooperation of part of supervisors.

description: The parity nonconservation effect on the radiative recombination of electrons with heavy hydrogenlike ions is studied. Calculations are performed for the recombination into the $2^1S_0$ state of helium-like thorium and gadolinium, where, due to the near-degeneracy of the opposite-parity $2^1S_0$ and $2^3P_0$ states, the effect is strongly enhanced. Two scenarios for possible experiments are studied. In the first scenario, the electron beam is assumed to be fully polarized while the H-like ions are unpolarized and the polarization of the emitted photons is not detected. In the second scenario, the linearly polarized photons are detected in an experiment with unpolarized electrons and ions. Corresponding calculations for the recombination into the $2^3P_0$ state are presented as well.
