description: Today's data centres, which underpin software such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, rely on optical transceivers to move information between servers. Hundreds of thousands of such transceivers are installed yearly. Despite this being a mass market, assembly of electronics and optics into a transceiver is still a step-by-step process, which makes it difficult to increase throughput and drive down cost. The EU-funded Caladan project is harnessing micro-transfer printing technology to move from sequential assembly to a manufacturing process in which thousands of transceivers are assembled in one parallel step.
 At the transmit side, a Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) driver IC is designed to be compatible with the micro transfer printing process by limiting its footprint to a mere 200µm by 300µm. Such a small footprint allows for dense integration with the long (typically a couple of mm) MZMs implemented in imec’s silicon photonics platform (iSiPP).
 However, innovation at the device level only is not sufficient to support the increasing demands for more bandwidth. System level developments towards coherent communication links are hampered by the need for power hungry DSP to correct the phase error between the received signal and the LO at the receiver. One way to completely mitigate this problem is by detecting the phase difference between subsequent symbols (by way of a delay line interferometer), instead of detecting the phase with respect to a fixed reference laser (LO). Analysis shows that optical systems using Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK) offer a viable alternative to LO-based coherent systems.
Travail, force vive et fatigue dans l'oeuvre de Daniel Bernoulli: vers l'optimisation du fait biologique (1738-1753) / Work, vis viva and tiredness in Daniel Bernoulli's works: towards the optimization of the biological fact (1738-1753)

description: The concept of mechanical work is inherited from the concepts of potentia absoluta and men's work, both implemented in the Section IX of Daniel Bernoulli's Hydrodynamica in 1738. Nonetheless, Bernoulli did not confuse those two entities: he defined a link from gender to species between the former, general, and the latter, organic. Besides, Bernoulli clearly distinguished vis viva and potentia absoluta (or work). Their mutual conversions are rarely explicitly mentionned in this book, except once, in the Section X of his work, from vis viva to work, and subordinated to the mediation of a machine, in a driving forces substitution problem. His attitude significantly evolved in a text in 1753, in which work and vis viva were unambiguously connected, while the concept of potentia absoluta was reduced to the one of men's work, and the expression itself was abandoned. It was then accepted that work can be converted into vis viva, but the opposite is true in only one case, the intra-organic one. The concept of tiredness, seen as an expenditure of animal spirits conceived themselves as little tensed springs liberating vis viva, allowed direct conversion, even never quantified and listed simply as a model, from vis viva to work. Thus, work may have ultimately appeared as a transitional state between two kinds of vis viva, which the first is non-quantifiable. At the same time, natural elements were discredited from any hint of profitable production. Only men and animals were able to work in the strict sense of the word. Nature did not work by itself, according to Bernoulli. Despite his will to bring together rational mechanics and common mechanics, one perceived in the work of Bernoulli the subsistence of a rarely crossed disjunction between practical and theoretical fields.

Multi-mode theory of pulsed twin beams generation using a high gain fiber optical parametric amplifier

description: Using the Bogoliubov transformation in multi-frequency modes to describe the evolution of the non-degenerate signal and idler twin beams, we theoretically investigate the quantum noise properties of the pulse pumped high gain fiber optical parametric amplifiers (FOPA). The results show that the noise figure of the FOPA is generally greater than the 3 dB quantum limit unless the joint spectral function is factorable and the spectrum of the input signal well matches the gain spectrum in the signal band. However, the intensity difference noise of the twin beams, which weakly depends on the joint spectral function, can be significantly less than the shot-noise limit when the temporal modes of the pump and the input signal are properly matched. Moreover, to closely resemble the real experimental condition, the quantum noise of twin beams generated from a broadband FOPA is numerically studied by taking the various kinds of experimental imperfections into account. Our study is not only useful for developing a compact fiber source of twin beams, but also helpful for understanding the quantum noise limit of a pulse pumped FOPA in the fiber communication system.

description: Extra value is calculated for 65 agricultural cooperatives by subtracting an interest charge on equity from net savings and also expressed as a percentage of operating capital. Cooperative performance is examined by type of agricultural cooperative—cotton, dairy, farm supply, fruit and vegetable, grain, sugar, and other—for 1992-96 and 2000-04. At least one cooperative of each type (except for sugar cooperatives) was able to show positive extra value when equity was assigned a charge 10 percent above the basic rate, while there were cooperatives of each type that showed negative extra value at the basic charge for member capital. Dairy cooperatives represented one-half of the top performers, while fruit and vegetable cooperatives represented one-half of those with negative extra value in both time periods. Results showed that cooperatives of all types can be very able performers but that some cooperatives may not be fully rewarding members for the use of their equity.

description: Recent nonlinear completions of Fierz-Pauli theory for a massive spin-2 field include nonlinear massive gravity and bimetric theories. The spectrum of black-hole solutions in these theories is rich, and comprises the same vacuum solutions of Einstein's gravity enlarged to include a cosmological constant. It was recently shown that Schwarzschild (de Sitter) black holes in these theories are generically unstable against spherical perturbations. Here we show that a notable exception is partially massless gravity, where the mass of the graviton is fixed in terms of the cosmological constant by μ^2=2Λ/3 and a new gauge invariance emerges. We find that general-relativity black holes are stable in this limit. Remarkably, the spectrum of massive gravitational perturbations is isospectral.

description: Over the last years, manufacturing companies have experienced an increasing demand for more complex products with an increasing amount of product variants. The high complexity and variant in the manufacturing line bring the need for more expertise level for operators. For making sure that the operator can be adapted to this need, adequate and timely training and guidelines and real-time support of workers in manufacturing area is required. For having a better manufacturing process, operators should receive appropriate and updated process and safety training and guidelines to decrease the risk.
 So, one of the main challenges in the smart industry is providing smart guideline and support for the operators based on their need. Having the smart assistance systems in the manufacturing environment can lead to higher quality and more efficiency. One way to provide these support can be using the question answering system. A QA system is a system that gives appropriate answers to questions expressed in natural languages. The advantage of QA systems in the assembly line is that operators have the luxury of asking queries in natural language and also get a precise answer instead of just displaying a list of links to documents that may or may not be relevant or waiting for a long time for the supervisors .

 Most studies in the QA system concern the open domain. The restricted domains already available in the research are mainly related to medical care. Based on our knowledge, for the assembly domain, there are still gaps related to having a QA system for supporting the operators in the assembly line. The text-based operator support in the assembly domain is not widely explored in state-of-the-art.

description: We analyze 2-point functions in the relativistic Bose gas on the lattice, i.e., a charged scalar phi-4 field with chemical potential mu. Using a generalized worm algorithm we perform a Monte Carlo simulation in a dual representation in terms of fluxes where the complex action problem is overcome. We explore various aspects of lattice spectroscopy at finite density and zero temperature, such as the asymmetry of forward and backward propagation in time and the transition into the condensed phase. It is shown that after a suitable subtraction the exponents for forward and backward propagation are independent of mu and agree with the mass obtained from the propagator at mu = 0. This holds for mu < mu_c and shows that below the condensation transition the mass is independent of mu as expected from the Silver Blaze scenario.

description: In Variational Quantum Simulations, the construction of a suitable parametric quantum circuit is subject to two counteracting effects. The number of parameters should be small for the device noise to be manageable, but also large enough for the circuit to be able to represent the solution. Dimensional expressivity analysis can optimize a candidate circuit considering both aspects. In this article, we will first discuss an inductive construction for such candidate circuits. Furthermore, it is sometimes necessary to choose a circuit with fewer parameters than necessary to represent all relevant states. To characterize such circuits, we estimate the best-approximation error using Voronoi diagrams. Moreover, we discuss a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm to estimate the worst-case best-approximation error, its complexity, and its scaling in state space dimensionality. This allows us to identify some obstacles for variational quantum simulations with local optimizers and underparametrized circuits, and we discuss possible remedies.

description: It is shown that in a single-axis antiferromagnetic semiconductor placed in a strong magnetic field, dispersionless magnons start emitting at any arbitrarily small velocity of an electron occurring in a spinpolaron state. If magnons are dispersed they are generated when the spinpolaron velocity exceeds the minimum phase velocity of magnons. The maximum power of magnon generation caused by the drift of spinpolarons is estimated.

description: Recent experimental advances in neuroscience have opened new vistas into the immense complexity of neuronal networks. This proliferation of data challenges us on two parallel fronts. First, how can we form adequate theoretical frameworks for understanding how dynamical network processes cooperate across widely disparate spatiotemporal scales to solve important computational problems? And second, how can we extract meaningful models of neuronal systems from high dimensional datasets? To aid in these challenges, we give a pedagogical review of a collection of ideas and theoretical methods arising at the intersection of statistical physics, computer science and neurobiology. We introduce the interrelated replica and cavity methods, which originated in statistical physics as powerful ways to quantitatively analyze large highly heterogeneous systems of many interacting degrees of freedom. We also introduce the closely related notion of message passing in graphical models, which originated in computer science as a distributed algorithm capable of solving large inference and optimization problems involving many coupled variables. We then show how both the statistical physics and computer science perspectives can be applied in a wide diversity of contexts to problems arising in theoretical neuroscience and data analysis. Along the way we discuss spin glasses, learning theory, illusions of structure in noise, random matrices, dimensionality reduction, and compressed sensing, all within the unified formalism of the replica method. Moreover, we review recent conceptual connections between message passing in graphical models, and neural computation and learning. Overall, these ideas illustrate how statistical physics and computer science might provide a lens through which we can uncover emergent computational functions buried deep within the dynamical complexities of neuronal networks.

description: Some 32,000 member-producers — owners of the Nation’s 118 dairy cooperatives — marketed 167 billion pounds of milk in 2017, or about 77.8 percent of all U.S. milk marketed that year. Including milk received from non-members and non-cooperative firms, total milk handled by U.S. cooperatives was 182 billion pounds, or an 84.8 percent-share of the national market. Milk plants and receiving facilities were operated by 41 cooperatives. Dairy coops marketed 86 percent of the Nation’s butter, 90 percent of nonfat and skim milk powders, 23 percent of natural cheeses, and 37 percent of dry whey products. Dairy co-ops are also major employers, with 86 co-ops reporting that they employed 35,004 full-time and 1,507 part-time employees, for a total of 36,511 employees. In 2017, those same 86 cooperatives, on a per-hundredweight (cwt) basis, had: total assets of $12.71, total liabilities of $8.55, total equity of $4.16, and a net margin before taxes of 48 cents, or a return-on-equity of 11.6 percent. This report focuses on 2017, with results compared to 2012 and 2007. It also provides some historical and trend statistics from previous studies for more extensive comparison of dairy cooperatives through time.

description: We present multi-epoch photometric and spectroscopic near-infrared observations of the Be star X Persei in the JHK bands covering the wavelength range 1.08 to 2.35 micron. Combining results from our earlier studies with the present observations, it is shown that the equivalent widths and line fluxes of the prominent HI and HeI lines anti-correlate with the strength of the adjacent continuum. That is, during the span of the observations, the JHK broad band fluxes increase while the emission equivalent width values of the HI and HeI lines decrease (the lines under consideration being the Paschen and Brackett lines of hydrogen and the 1.7002 micron and 2.058 micron lines of helium). Such an anti-correlation effect is not commonly observed in Be stars in the optical; in the infrared this may possibly be the first reported case of such behavior. We examine different mechanisms that could possibly cause it and suggest that it could originate due to a radiatively warped, precessing circumstellar disk. It is also shown that during the course of our studies X Per evolved to an unprecedented state of high near-IR brightness with J, H, K magnitudes of 5.20, 5.05 and 4.84 respectively.

description: A fundamental aspect of cooperative organizations is “member control” or member governance of the organization. Member control is facilitated through a series of member offices, elections to those offices, and organizational bylaws. When challenges to the legitimacy of cooperative organization occurs, those challenges often revolve around questions of member control. Do members actually control the cooperative? Our current era is of no exception given a context of acquisitions, mergers, and joint ventures in the cooperative community. This report presents a series of membership charts, from simple to complex, demonstrating various ways to depict a membership structure, with the explicit highlighting of mechanisms for member control. The report begins with simple depictions of macro-membership structures, e.g. local, centralized and federated. It culminates with a “containment” method that is able to illustrate appointed and elected positions, positions with and without decision-making authority, a basis of representation in geographic districts, flows and levels of authority, and whether authority is contained by the membership or outside of members’ control and oversight.

description: We report a correlation between velocity offset (beta = v/c) of strong Mg II absorption systems and the bolometric luminosity (L_bol) of quasars in SDSS-DR7. We find that, beta shows a power law increase with L_bol, with a slope (~ 1/4). We find that such a relation of beta with L_bol is expected for outflows driven by scattering of black hole radiation by dust grains, and which are launched from the innermost dust survival radius. Our results indicate that a significant fraction of the strong MgII absorbers, in the range of beta = (0--0.4) may be associated with the quasars themselves.

description: We modeled the V-band light curve of beta Lyrae with two stellar components plus an optically thick accretion disc around the gainer assuming a semidetached configuration. We present the results of this calculation, giving physical parameters for the stars and the disc, along with general system dimensions. We discuss the evolutionary stage of the system finding the best match with one of the evolutionary models of Van Rensbergen et al. According to this model, the system is found at age 2.30E7 years, in the phase of rapid mass transfer, the second one in the life of this binary, in a Case-B mass-exchange stage with dM/dt = 1.58E-5 Msun/year. This result, along with the reported rate of orbital period change and observational evidence of mass loss, suggests that the mass transfer in beta Lyrae, is quasi-conservative. The best model indicates that beta Lyrae finished a relatively large mass loss episode 31400 years ago. The light curve model that best fit the observations has inclination angle i = 81 degree, M1 = 13.2 Msun, M2 = 3.0 Msun, R1 = 6.0 Rsun and R2 = 15.2 Rsun. The disc contributes 22% to the total V-band light curve at quadrature, has a radius of 28.3 Rsun and the outer edge thickness is 11.2 Rsun. The light curve model is significantly better with two bright regions in the disc rim with temperatures 10% and 20% higher than the disc outer edge temperature. We compare our results with earlier studies of this interacting binary.

description: We study "gluonic effects" (gluon condensation effects) on the hadronic leading order (HLO) contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment (g-2) of leptons, based on a holographic model having explicit gluonic mode introduced for consistency with the operator product expansion of QCD. We find gluonic enhancement of HLO contributions to the muon g-2 by about 6%, which nicely fills in the gap between the holographic estimate without gluonic effects and the phenomenological one using the experimental data as inputs. Similar calculations including the gluonic effects for the electron and the tau lepton g-2 are also carried out in good agreement with the phenomenological estimates. We then apply our holographic estimate to the Walking Technicolor (WTC) where large techni-gluonic effects were shown to be vital for the Technidilaton, (pseudo) Nambu-Goldstone boson of the (approximate) scale symmetry of WTC, to be naturally as light as 125 GeV. It is shown that the value of the techni-HLO contributions to the muon g-2 is 10-100 times enhanced by inclusion of the same amount of the gluonic effects as that realizing the 125 GeV Technidilaton, although such an enhanced techni-HLO contribution is still negligibly small compared with the current deviation of the Standard Model prediction of the muon g-2 from the experiments. The techni-HLO contributions to the tau lepton g-2 is also discussed, suggesting a possible phenomenological relevance to be tested by the future experiments.

Vindicating single-T modified blackbody fits to Herschel SEDs (Research Note)

description: I show here that the bulk of the dust mass in a galaxy can be equivalently estimated from: i) the full spectral energy distribution of dust emission, using the approach of Draine & Lee (2007) that includes a distribution of dust grains and a range of interstellar radiation field intensities; ii) the emission in the wavelength range 100um <= lambda <= 500um (covered by the Herschel Space Observatory), by fitting to the data a simpler single temperature modified blackbody. Recent claims on the contrary (Dale et al. 2012) should be interpreted as a caveat to use in the simpler fits an absorption cross section which is consistent both in the normalization and in the spectral index beta with that of the full dust model. I also show that the dust mass does not depend significantly on the choice of beta, if both the dust mass and the absorption cross section are derived with the same assumption on beta.

description: Calls for Action (‘C4A’) was developed in 2012 to address groups underrepresented in sports participation. The overarching objectives are focused on positive action, changing lives, encouraging new approaches, and increasing regular and frequent sporting activity in Wales. Eleven projects were implemented in Phase 1. C4A Phase 2 was launched in 2014. It is delivered through 11 projects, and aims to attract new partners and encourage innovative methods. 144 applications were received and eleven organisations were grant funded through a total budget commitment of £3 million from National Lottery. The funded organisations are a mix of traditional partners exploring new approaches, and new partners. At headline level the programme and projects are making good progress against overall targets – 9,904 participants against 11,404 target, 1,793 regular participants to 3,317 target, 712 new activities to 415 target, 2,037 activity sessions to 2,803 target, 443 new coaches/leaders to 328 target, and 219 new volunteers to 265 target.

description: We report on the realization of quantum degenerate gas mixtures of the alkaline-earth element strontium with the alkali element rubidium. A key ingredient of our scheme is sympathetic cooling of Rb by Sr atoms that are continuously laser cooled on a narrow linewidth transition. This versatile technique allows us to produce ultracold gas mixtures with a phase-space density of up to 0.06 for both elements. By further evaporative cooling we create double Bose-Einstein condensates of 87Rb with either 88Sr or 84Sr, reaching more than 10^5 condensed atoms per element for the 84Sr-87Rb mixture. These quantum gas mixtures constitute an important step towards the production of a quantum gas of polar, open-shell RbSr molecules.

description: We modify the ansatz for embedding chameleon scalars in string theory proposed in [1] by considering a racetrack superpotential with two KKLT-type exponentials $e^{ia\varrho}$ instead of one. This satisfies all experimental constraints, while also allowing for the chameleon to be light enough on cosmological scales to be phenomenologically interesting.

On Local Congruence of Immersions in Homogeneous or Nonhomogeneous Spaces

description: We show how to find a complete set of necessary and sufficient conditions that solve the fixed-parameter local congruence problem of immersions in $G$-spaces, whether homogeneous or not, provided that a certain $k^{\rm th}$ order jet bundle over the $G$-space admits a $G$-invariant local coframe field of constant structure. As a corollary, we note that the differential order of a minimal complete set of congruence invariants is bounded by $k+1$. We demonstrate the method by rediscovering the speed and curvature invariants of Euclidean planar curves, the Schwarzian derivative of holomorphic immersions in the complex projective line, and equivalents of the first and second fundamental forms of surfaces in ${\mathbb R}^3$ subject to rotations

Qubit-mediated energy transfer between thermal reservoirs: beyond Markovian Master equation
Creators: name: Segal, D.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study qubit-mediated energy transfer between two electron reservoirs by adopting a numerically-exact influence functional path-integral method. This non-perturbative technique allows us to study the system's dynamics beyond the weak coupling limit. Our simulations for the energy current indicate that perturbative-Markovian Master equation predictions significantly deviate from exact numerical results already at intermediate coupling, $πρα_{j,j'}\gtrsim 0.4$, where $ρ$ is the metal (Fermi sea) density of states, taken as a constant, and $α_{j,j'}$ is the scattering potential energy of electrons, between the $j$ and $j'$ states. Markovian Master equation techniques should be therefore used with caution beyond the strictly weak subsystem-bath coupling limit, especially when a quantitative knowledge of transport characteristics is desired.

Lexicosemantic diffusion in World Englishes: variable meaning–form relations in prospective verbs
Creators: name: SCHNEIDER, EDGAR W.
Publisher: name: Universität Regensburg
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: polysemy, prospective verbs, semantic change, word fields, World Englishes
subject: 420 Englisch

description: This article suggests that in the investigation of World Englishes, which has tended to focus on syntactic, phonological and lexical preferences, the analysis of shifts in word meanings (and meaning–form relations in lexical items) needs to be incorporated. Exemplary small-scale studies show that in polysemic words certain varieties come to prefer specific meanings, and in word fields some varieties begin to prefer certain forms over others. Based on analyses of different ICE corpora, a set of prospective verbs, their meaning relationships and their varying correlations with syntactic construction choices in different varieties are investigated quantitatively (using HCFA and conditional inference trees) and qualitatively (showcasing interesting innovative, possibly emerging uses in some countries). Regionality is consistently shown to be a weakly conditioning significant factor. Thus, it is suggested that lexicosemantic variability and diffusion in the evolution of World Englishes deserve and need to be investigated systematically.

description: Purpose and Conclusions: Dr Alice Stewart, 1906-2002, came from a medical background which included a strong commitment to social justice and equality. Her father became Professor of Medicine at Sheffield University and her mother was one of the first women to qualify as a doctor, and together they practiced in Hillsborough, near Sheffield. Having qualified as a doctor herself in 1932, Alice worked in London hospitals before moving to Oxford, where she became a pioneer in epidemiology. Early in her career, she showed that X-raying pregnant women was a cause of childhood leukemia. Her later work focused on the harmful effects of low-level radiation on nuclear industry workers, the role of background radiation and she went on to question the dose limits set for radiation protection. All her results were initially challenged, but subsequent studies have borne out her findings. Dr Alice Stewart’s research was pioneering, fundamental and challenging, and is now widely accepted.
Heavy-quarkonium suppression in p-A collisions from parton energy loss in cold QCD matter

description: The effects of parton energy loss in cold nuclear matter on heavy-quarkonium suppression in p-A collisions are studied. It is shown from first principles that at large quarkonium energy E and small production angle in the nucleus rest frame, the medium-induced energy loss scales as E. Using this result, a phenomenological model depending on a single free parameter is able to reproduce J/psi and Upsilon suppression data in a broad xF-range and at various center-of-mass energies. These results strongly support energy loss as the dominant effect in heavy-quarkonium suppression in p-A collisions. Predictions for J/psi and Upsilon suppression in p-Pb collisions at the LHC are made. It is argued that parton energy loss scaling as E should generally apply to hadron production in p-A collisions, such as light hadron or open charm production.
