description: In order to search for high-redshift galaxies beyond $z = 6.6$ in the Subaru Deep Field, we have investigated NB921-dropout galaxies where NB921 is the narrowband filter centered at 919.6 nm with FWHM of 13.2 nm for the Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope. There are no secure NB921-dropout candidates brighter than $z^\prime = 25.5$. Based on this result, we discuss the UV luminosity function of star-forming galaxies at $z > 6.6$.

description: This paper presents an empirical study of population growth and environmental change using cross-sectional district-level data from South, Central and West India. Environmental change is measured using a satellite-based "greenness" index. Unlike prior work, the analysis treats population and environmental change as jointly determined, distinguishes between rural and urban populations, and identifies distinct roles of fertility and migration. Among key findings are that population and "greenness" are jointly endogenous; increased rural fertility leads to environmental decline, which in turn prompts increased fertility; environmental scarcity spurs out-migration and environmental improvement; and increased urban fertility may lead to increased environmental quality, which in turn may spur increased fertility.

description: Multi-level quantum systems loose coherence due to quantum jumps or spontaneous decay between their internal levels. Here we propose a way to simulate experimentally a three-level system under quantum jump using a three-mode photonic system. We simulated three different dynamics of spontaneous decay in a three-level atomic system: cascade decay, $Λ$ decay and $V$ decay. With an attenuated light coherent source at the photon level, we prepared a photonic qutrit state encoded in the parallel path of Gaussian modes. By exploring periodical phase modulation in spatial light modulator, the corresponding dynamical maps for quantum jumps were implemented in terms of the Kraus operator decomposition. With image measurements with an intensified charged-coupled device (ICCD) camera we obtain the diagonal elements of the initial state density matrix. Measuring the image and interference patterns of the evolved qutrit state we verified experimentally the variation of the populations and the decoherence effects caused by the quantum jumps in the three-level system for the three-level decay configurations.

description: The literature has long identified lack of rural diversification and low intensity of input use as two key constraints to sustainable and pro-poor growth in Uganda. We use data from a large nationally representative survey to demonstrate that broader access to agricultural extension could increase diversification and input use and that a surprisingly high level of farmers (more than are actually reached) would be willing to pay for such services. Although willingness to pay increases with wealth, illustrative simulations suggest that, due to knowledge spillovers, policies to respond more effectively to the demand for extension services would also benefit the poor.

Βασική αρχή για να επιτευχθεί καινοτομία στην εκπαίδευση μέσω της τεχνολογίας είναι να συνεργάζονται όλοι οι ενδιαφερόμενοι για να επιφέρουν αλλαγές, στηριζόμενοι σε σαφής στόχους. Επιβάλλεται αλλαγή παγιωμένων πρακτικών στις σχολικές μονάδες και μια συστημική αλλαγή στον τρόπο διαχείρισης της καινοτομίας με όλους τους εμπλεκόμενους φορείς να λαμβάνουν μέρος σε αυτή τη διαδικασία αλλαγής. Στην παρούσα έρευνα έγινε προσπάθεια μέσα από τη βιβλιογραφική επισκόπηση να παρουσιαστούν διάφορες μορφές καινοτόμων τεχνολογιών που μπορούν να βρουν εφαρμογή στη σχολική μονάδα. Επιπρόσθετα, μέσα από την ερευνητική μελέτη διερευνήθηκαν και να αναλύθηκαν οι απόψεις των εκπαιδευτικών, πρωτοβάθμιας και δευτεροβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης, για τη χρήση των τεχνολογικών καινοτομιών στην εκπαίδευση, το επίπεδο εξοικείωσής τους, τα οφέλη, καθώς και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο μπορούν να ενσωματωθούν οι καινοτόμες τεχνολογίες στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία. Ακολουθήθηκε η ποσοτική μέθοδος συλλογής δεδομένων με τη χρήση ερωτηματολογίου σε ένα δείγμα 161 ατόμων. Τα συμπεράσματα της μελέτης αναδεικνύουν ότι υπάρχει ραγδαία ψηφιακή εξέλιξη στον χώρο της εκπαίδευσης και εξοικείωση του δείγματος με τις έννοιες των καινοτόμων τεχνολογιών, χωρίς όμως να θεωρούν του εαυτούς τους ψηφιακούς γνώστες.

description: Omitting spatial characteristics such as proximity to amenities from hedonic land value models may lead to spatial autocorrelation and biased and inefficient estimators. A spatial autoregressive error model can be used to model the spatial structure of errors arising from omitted spatial effects. This paper demonstrates an alternative approach to modeling land values based on individual and joint misspecification tests using data from Roanoke County in Virginia. Spatial autocorrelation is found in land value models of Roanoke County. Defining neighborhoods based on geographic and socioeconomics characteristics produces better estimates of neighborhood effects on land values than simple distance measures. Implementing a comprehensive set of individual and joint misspecification tests results in better correction for misspecification errors compared to existing practices.
Some properties of emission coordinates

description: 4 emitters broadcasting an increasing electromagnetic signal generate a system of relativistic coordinates for the space-time, called emission coordinates. Their physical realization requires an apparatus similar to the one of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Several relativistic corrections are utilized for the current precisions, but the GNSS are conceived as classical (Newtonian) systems, which has deep implications in the way of operating them. The study of emission coordinates is an essential step in order to develop a fully relativistic theory of positioning systems. This talk presents some properties of emission coordinates. In particular, we characterize how any observer sees a configuration of satellites giving a degenerated system and show that the trajectories of the satellites select a unique privileged observer at each point and, for any observer, a set of 3 orthogonal spatial axes.

description: The double-polarization observable $E$ and helicity-dependent cross sections $σ_{1/2}$, $σ_{3/2}$ have been measured for the photoproduction of $π^0$ pairs off quasi-free protons and neutrons at the Mainz MAMI accelerator with the Crystal Ball/TAPS setup. A circularly polarized photon beam was produced by bremsstrahlung from longitudinally polarized electrons and impinged on a longitudinally polarized deuterated butanol target. The reaction products were detected with an almost $4π$ covering calorimeter. The results reveal for the first time the helicity- and isospin-dependent structure of the $γN\rightarrow Nπ^0π^0$ reaction. They are compared to predictions from reaction models in view of nucleon resonance contributions and also to a refit of one model that predicted results for the proton and for the neutron target. The comparison of the prediction and the refit demonstrate the large impact of the new data.

description: By scattering theory we show that spin current noise in normal electric conductors in contact with nanoscale ferromagnets increases the magnetization noise by means of a fluctuating spin-transfer torque. Johnson-Nyquist noise in the spin current is related to the increased Gilbert damping due to spin pumping, in accordance with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Spin current shot noise in the presence of an applied bias is the dominant contribution to the magnetization noise at low temperatures.

description: Beale codes are an important tool for examining rural urban differences in socioeconomic trends. However, as population changes, counties' designations also change over time. This feature of Beale codes is commonly overlooked by researchers, yet it has important implications for understanding rural growth. Since the fastest growing counties grow out of their rural status, use of the most recent codes excludes the most successful rural counties. Average economic performance of the countries remaining rural significantly understates the true performance of rural counties. This paper illustrates that choice of Beale code can alter conclusions regarding the relative speed of rural and urban growth across a variety of commonly used social and economic indicators. The bias can alter conclusions regarding the magnitude and even the sign of factors believed to influence growth. Most strikingly, the estimated impact of human capital on rural growth is completely reversed when the sample is based on end-of-period rather than relative growth across counties can also yield misleading inferences. Therefore, both academicians and policy-makers must be careful to use appropriate Beale code designations and time frames in evaluating prescriptions for rural growth.
High temperature oxidation of low carbon steels containing residual copper
Creators: name: Kumar, Dilip
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Oxidation studies were carried out on low carbon steels containing 0.2%, 0.39% and 0.78% (wt) Cu at temperatures 1000°, 1100°, 1200° and 1275°C for times 5 minutes to 2 hrs in air. Oxide growth curves were plotted from the weight gain data. The scale surfaces were examined under optical microscope as well as SEM. Analyses by EDX, XRD as well as XPS were also performed on a few of them. Cross-sectional examination of samples was carried out under SEM in order to study the Cu enrichment at the substrate surface. The growth curves displayed parabolic behavior in general, even during the early stages of oxidation. However, the parabolic rate constants dropped to lower values after a certain time at 1200°C as well as 1275°C. Usually, the scale was adherent in the beginning. However, it became detached from the substrate with passage of time. Decreasing Cu content and decreasing temperature enhanced the scale detachment. Oxide surfaces in the steels oxidized for times 1 hour or less exhibited growth of whiskers of CuFe2O4 spinels over the scale comprising mainly of FeO. Increasing temperature increased the diameters of whiskers marginally and decreased their lengths. Increasing Cu reduced the growth of whisker. The whiskers disappeared from scale surface when the steel was oxidized for 2 hours and what remained afterwards on the surface consisted only of Fe2O3 crystals. Enrichment of Cu was observed at the oxide-metal interface and the grain boundaries close to the steel surface even in the early stages of oxidation at all temperatures. However, the enriched phase at the surface was discontinuous and separated from the substrate at 1000°C. Grain boundary enrichment of Cu was very marginal at 1000°C. At 1100°C, the size of Cu rich phase increased for lower Cu levels (e.g. 0.22% and 0.39%). However, this phase remained discontinuous and separated from substrate for these steels. On the other hand, a continuous layer of Cu was observed at the surface at most of the locations for 0.78% Cu steel. Additionally, there were locations near the interface devoid of any surface enrichment but accompanied by penetration of grain boundaries by the enriched layer. Increasing the temperature above 1100°C caused enhanced internal oxidation of Si, Mn and Fe. Increasing the time of oxidation accentuated this process. Increasing the time also increased the Cu content of the enriched layer at both 1000°C as well as 1100°C. The thickness of the enriched phase also increased with time. Increasing temperature too, had a similar effect. However, increasing the time to 2 hours at 1200°C and 1275°C caused the thickness of highly enriched layer to decrease. No penetration of grain boundaries by the enriched phase was observed at 1200°C and 1275°C.

Propagation of very high energy gamma-rays inside massive binaries LS 5039 and LSI +61 303
Creators: name: Bednarek, W.
Publisher: name: arXiv

description: It is expected that high energy gamma-rays, if injected relatively close to the massive stars in binary systems LS 5039 and LSI 61 3003, should be strongly absorbed, initiating inverse Compton $e^\pm$ pair cascades in the anisotropic radiation from stellar surfaces. We investigate influence of the propagation effects on the spectral and angular features of the gamma-ray spectra emerging from these two binary systems by applying the Monte Carlo method. Two different hypothesis are considered: isotropic injection of primary gamma-rays with the power law spectrum and electrons. It is concluded that propagation effects of gamma-rays can be responsible for the spectral features observed from LS 5039. The cascade processes occurring inside these binary systems significantly reduce the gamma-ray opacity obtained in other works by simple calculations of the escape of gamma-rays from the radiation fields of the massive stars. Both systems provide very similar conditions for the TeV gamma-ray production at the periastron passage. Any TeV gamma-ray flux at the apastron passage in LSI +61 303 will be relatively stronger with respect to its GeV flux than in LS 5039. If gamma-rays are produced inside these binaries not far from the massive stars, i.e. within a few stellar radii, then clear anticorrelation between the GeV and TeV emission should be observed, provided that primary gamma-rays at GeV and TeV energies are produced in the same process by the same population of relativistic particles. These gamma-ray propagation features can be tested in the near future by the multi-wavelength campaigns engaging the AGILE and GLAST telescopes and the Cherenkov telescopes (e.g. MAGIC, HESS, VERITAS and CANGAROO).

description: We compare the performance of BB84 and SARG04, the later of which was proposed by V. Scarani et al., in Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 057901 (2004). Specifically, in this paper, we investigate SARG04 with two-way classical communications and SARG04 with decoy states. In the first part of the paper, we show that SARG04 with two-way communications can tolerate a higher bit error rate (19.4% for a one-photon source and 6.56% for a two-photon source) than SARG04 with one-way communications (10.95% for a one-photon source and 2.71% for a two-photon source). Also, the upper bounds on the bit error rate for SARG04 with two-way communications are computed in a closed form by considering an individual attack based on a general measurement. In the second part of the paper, we propose employing the idea of decoy states in SARG04 to obtain unconditional security even when realistic devices are used. We compare the performance of SARG04 with decoy states and BB84 with decoy states. We find that the optimal mean-photon number for SARG04 is higher than that of BB84 when the bit error rate is small. Also, we observe that SARG04 does not achieve a longer secure distance and a higher key generation rate than BB84, assuming a typical experimental parameter set.

description: Horizontal Federated learning (FL) handles multi-client data that share the same set of features, and vertical FL trains a better predictor that combine all the features from different clients. This paper targets solving vertical FL in an asynchronous fashion, and develops a simple FL method. The new method allows each client to run stochastic gradient algorithms without coordination with other clients, so it is suitable for intermittent connectivity of clients. This method further uses a new technique of perturbed local embedding to ensure data privacy and improve communication efficiency. Theoretically, we present the convergence rate and privacy level of our method for strongly convex, nonconvex and even nonsmooth objectives separately. Empirically, we apply our method to FL on various image and healthcare datasets. The results compare favorably to centralized and synchronous FL methods.

description: A multilayer perovskite thin film resistive memory device has been developed comprised of: a Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3 (PCMO) perovskite oxide epitaxial layer on a YBCO bottom thin film electrode; a thin yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) buffer layer grown on the PCMO layer, and a gold thin film top electrode. The multi-layer thin film lattice structure has been characterized by XRD and TEM analyses showing a high quality heterostructure. I-AFM analysis indicated nano granular conductivity distributed uniformly throughout the PCMO film surface. With the addition of the YSZ buffer layer, the pulse voltage needed to switch the device is significantly reduced and the resistance-switching ratio is increased compared to a non-buffered resistance memory device, which is very important for the device fabrication. The magnetic field effect on the multilayer structure resistance at various temperatures shows CMR behavior for both high and low resistance states implying a bulk material component to the switch behavior.

description: Stratification due to ion-ion friction in a magnetized multiple-ion species plasma is shown to be accompanied by a heat pump effect, identified for the first time here, transferring heat from one ion species to another as well as from one region of space to another. The heat pump is produced via newly identified heating mechanisms associated with charge incompressibility and the Ettingshausen effect. Besides their academic interest, these new effects may have useful applications to plasma technologies that involve rotation or compression.

description: We present calculations of the beauty photoproduction at HERA collider in the framework of the kt-factorization approach. Both direct and resolved photon contributions are taken into account. The unintegrated gluon densities in a proton and in a photon are obtained from the full CCFM, from unified BFKL-DGLAP evolution equations as well as from the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin prescription. We investigate different production rates (both inclusive and associated with hadronic jets) and compare our theoretical predictions with the recent experimental data taken by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations. Special attention is put on the x_γ^{obs} variable which is sensitive to the relative contributions to the beauty production cross section.

description: As market conditions change rapidly in the 21st century, questions arise concerning how the organizational structures of co-operatives (co-ops) can meet the challenges that these new conditions pose. This paper introduces a framework to structure marketing co-ops (MCs) based on members' preferences. Several notions from the behavioral decision theory framework are utilized, and a principal-agent approach is adopted for the design of this framework. It focuses on the subjective utility that co-op members derive from levels of the MCs' firm-behavioral attributes, such as business issue/scope, corporate governance, product-related decision-making, financial structure, member benefits, and product quality. Data was collected by means of in-depth interviews with 30 producers and 120 structured computer-assisted face-to-face interviews. The utilities that producers attached to MC's attributes were derived by means of a conjoint experiment.

description: A survey of state veterinarians and leaders of state cattle producer associations was conducted in January 2004 to identify the determinants of support for animal ID programs in the US. The results indicate strong support for implementing some form of animal ID program, but that only about 40% of cattle association leaders supported a specific plan called the USAIP. The results suggest that familiarity with the USAIP, a perception that producers will share net benefits equally with other downstream firms, and whether or not a respondent was from a state requiring cattle to be branded were significantly related to the level of support a respondent indicated for the USAIP.
Mathematical modelling of the high temperature constitutive behaviour of as-cast AA5182 aluminum alloy

Year: 2009

description: Compression, tension and cyclical compression-tension tests were done using the Gleeble 1500 thermomechanical simulator at the University of British Columbia to measure the constitutive behaviour in an as-cast AA5182 aluminum alloy. The temperatures (i.e., 250-500°C) and strain rates (1E-5 – 1s⁻¹) used for the tests were chosen to represent typical conditions experienced in the solid phase during DC casting due to thermally induced deformations which occur during cooling. Using the measurement results, a constitutive relationship using Garofalo's hyperbolic sine relationship was developed and tabular data relating stress to strain at various strain rates and temperatures was also generated. The experiments done on the Gleeble 1500 machine were also simulated using the commercial finite element code ABAQUS™. Various methods within ABAQUS were used to numerically simulate the inelastic behaviour of the material during the deformation and included a hyperbolic sine creep law, strain rate dependent plasticity using tabular data and strain rate independent plasticity. The results predicted by the models developed within ABAQUS were then verified by comparing the predicted results to measurements made using the Gleeble 1500 thermal mechanical simulator under different temperature and strain rate conditions than originally used to develop the constitutive relationships. The results indicated that within ABAQUS the most accurate way to simulate stress strain behaviour that occurs during DC casting is to use strain rate dependent plasticity.
Spectra of black-hole binaries in the low/hard state: from radio to X-rays

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005

description: We propose a jet model for the low/hard state of Galactic black-hole X-ray sources that can explain the energy spectra from radio to X-rays. The model assumes that i) there is a magnetic field along the axis of the jet; ii) the electron density in the jet drops inversely proportional to distance; and iii) the electrons in the jet follow a power law distribution function. We have performed Monte Carlo simulations of Compton upscattering of soft photons from the accretion disk and have found power-law high-energy spectra with photon-number index in the range 1.5 - 2 and cutoff at a few hundred keV. The spectrum at long wavelengths (radio, infrared, optical) is modeled to come from synchrotron radiation of the energetic electrons in the jet. We find flat to inverted radio spectra that extend from the radio up to about the optical band. For magnetic field strengths of the order of 10^5-10^6G at the base of the jet, the calculated spectra agree well in slope and flux with the observations. Our model has the advantage over other existing models that it also explains many of the existing timing data such as the time lag spectra, the hardening of the power density spectra and the narrowing of the autocorrelation function with increasing photon energy.

description: In the dynamical gauge-Higgs unification of electroweak interactions in the Randall-Sundrum warped spacetime the Higgs boson mass is predicted in the range 120 GeV -- 290 GeV, provided that the spacetime structure is determined at the Planck scale. Couplings of quarks and leptons to gauge bosons and their Kaluza-Klein (KK) excited states are determined by the masses of quarks and leptons. All quarks and leptons other than top quarks have very small couplings to the KK excited states of gauge bosons. The universality of weak interactions is slightly broken by magnitudes of $10^{-8}$, $10^{-6}$ and $10^{-2}$ for $μ$-$e$, $τ$-$e$ and $t$-$e$, respectively. Yukawa couplings become substantially smaller than those in the standard model, by a factor $|\cos \onehalf θ_W|$ where $θ_W$ is the non-Abelian Aharonov-Bohm phase (the Wilson line phase) associated with dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking.

description: This paper investigates PTM behaviour and currency invoicing decisions of Canadian pork exporters in the presence of menu costs. It is shown that when export prices are negotiated in the exporter's currency, menu costs cause threshold effects in the sense that there are bounds within (outside of) which PTM is not (is) observed. Conversely, PTM is not interrupted by menu costs when export prices are denominated in the importer's currency. The empirical model focuses on pork meat exports from Canada to the U.S. and Japan. Hansen's (2000) threshold estimation procedure is used to jointly test for currency invoicing and PTM in the presence of menu costs. Inference is conducted using bootstrap methods. PTM effects are smaller when accounting for currency invoicing decisions and menu costs than under standard linear models. The data does not reject the null hypothesis that Quebec pork exporters exercise PTM behaviour in the Japanese market and invoice their sales in Japanese currency. Evidence of PTM behaviour and foreign currency invoicing is weak for the U.S. market. Ontario pork exporters do not exercise PTM behaviour in any market.
