description: The strength of quantum correlations is bounded from above by Tsirelson's bound. We establish a connection between this bound and the fact that correlations between two systems cannot increase under local operations, a property known as the data processing inequality. More specifically, we consider arbitrary convex probabilistic theories. These can be equipped with an entropy measure that naturally generalizes the von Neumann entropy, as shown recently in [Short and Wehner, Barnum et al.]. We prove that if the data processing inequality holds with respect to this generalized entropy measure then the underlying theory necessarily respects Tsirelson's bound. We moreover generalise this statement to any entropy measure satisfying certain minimal requirements. A consequence of our result is that not all of the entropic relations used to derive Tsirelson's bound via information causality in [Pawlowski et al.] are necessary.

description: The probability distribution function for an out of equilibrium system may sometimes be approximated by a physically motivated "trial" distribution. A particularly interesting case is when a driven system (e.g., active matter) is approximated by a thermodynamic one. We show here that every set of trial distributions yields an inequality playing the role of a generalization of the second law. The better the approximation is, the more constraining the inequality becomes: this suggests a criterion for its accuracy, as well as an optimization procedure that may be implemented numerically and even experimentally. The fluctuation relation behind this inequality, -a natural and practical extension of the Hatano-Sasa theorem-, does not rely on the a priori knowledge of the stationary probability distribution.

description: An algorithm is presented for error correction in the surface code quantum memory. This is shown to correct depolarizing noise up to a threshold error rate of 18.5%, exceeding previous results and coming close to the upper bound of 18.9%. The time complexity of the algorithm is found to be polynomial with error suppression, allowing efficient error correction for codes of realistic sizes.

Designing online social networks to motivate health behaviour change
Creators: name: Kamal, Noreen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Eating nutritious foods and being more physically active prevents significant illnesses such as cardiac disease, stroke, and diabetes. However, leading a healthy lifestyle remains elusive and obesity continues to increase in North America. We investigate how online social networks (OSN) can change health behaviour by blending theories from health behaviour and participation in OSNs, which allow us to design and evaluate an OSN through a user-centred design (UCD) process. We begin this research by reviewing existing theoretical models to obtain the determining factors for participation in OSNs and changing personal health behaviour. Through this review, we develop a conceptual framework, Appeal Belonging Commitment (ABC) Framework, which provides individual determinants (Appeal), social determinants (Belonging), and temporal consideration (Commitment) for participation in OSNs for health behaviour change. The ABC Framework is used in a UCD process to develop an OSN called VivoSpace. The framework is then utilized to evaluate each design to determine if VivoSpace is able to change the determinants for health behaviour change. The UCD process begins with an initial user inquiry using questionnaires to validate the determinants from the framework (n=104). These results are used to develop a paper prototype of VivoSpace, which is evaluated through interviews (N=11). These results are used to design a medium fidelity prototype for VivoSpace, which is tested in a laboratory through both direct and indirect methods (n=36). The final iteration of VivoSpace is a high fidelity prototype, which is evaluated in a field experiment with clinical and non-clinical participants from Canada and USA (n=32). The results reveal positive changes for the participants associated with a clinic in self-efficacy for eating healthy food and leading an active lifestyle, attitudes towards healthy behaviour, and in the stages of change for health behaviour. These results are further validated by evaluating changes in health behaviour, which reveal a positive change for the clinical group in physical activity and an increase in patient activation. The evaluation of the high fidelity prototype allow for a final iteration of the ABC Framework, and the development of design principles for an OSN for positive health behaviour change.

description: The application of optical lattices allows a tuning of the geometry of Bose-Einstein condensates to effectively reduced dimensions. In the context of solid state physics the consideration of the low-dimensional Fröhlich polaron results in an extension of the polaronic strong coupling regime. With this motivation we apply the Jensen-Feynman variational principle to calculate the ground state properties of the polaron consisting of an impurity in a Bose-Einstein condensate in reduced dimensions. Also the response of this system to Bragg scattering is calculated. We show that reducing the dimension leads to a larger amplitude of the polaronic features and is expected to facilitate the experimental observation of polaronic properties. In optical lattices not only Feshbach resonances but also confinement-induced resonances can be used to tune the polaronic coupling strength. This opens up the possibility to experimentally reveal the intermediate and strong polaronic coupling regimes and resolve outstanding theoretical questions regarding polaron theory.

description: We improve the resummation calculations in the ResBos program for the Higgs boson production via gluon-gluon fusion by including the NNLO Wilson coefficient functions and G-functions. The improvement leads to increasing the total cross section predictions of the new ResBos program, dubbed as ResBos2, for Higgs boson production by about 8% and 6% at the Tevatron and the LHC, respectively, as compared to the old ResBos program. Furthermore, the improved predictions are compared with those from the programs HNNLO and HqT2. We find that they agree well for the total cross sections but differ slightly for the transverse momentum $Q_T$ distributions. With ResBos2, we present the distributions of the two variables $a_T$ and $ϕ^{*}$, which can have better experimental resolutions than $Q_T$, for the process of Higgs boson decaying into a photon pair. Theoretical uncertainties of the ResBos2 predictions are also discussed.

Consistency and Advantage of Loop Regularization Method Merging with Bjorken-Drell's Analogy Between Feynman Diagrams and Electrical Circuits

description: The consistency of loop regularization (LORE) method is explored in multiloop calculations. A key concept of the LORE method is the introduction of irreducible loop integrals (ILIs) which are evaluated from the Feynman diagrams by adopting the Feynman parametrization and ultraviolet-divergence-preserving(UVDP) parametrization. It is then inevitable for the ILIs to encounter the divergences in the UVDP parameter space due to the generic overlapping divergences in the 4-dimensional momentum space. By computing the so-called $αβγ$ integrals arising from two loop Feynman diagrams, we show how to deal with the divergences in the parameter space with the LORE method. By identifying the divergences in the UVDP parameter space to those in the subdiagrams, we arrive at the Bjorken-Drell's analogy between Feynman diagrams and electrical circuits. The UVDP parameters are shown to correspond to the conductance or resistance in the electrical circuits, and the divergence in Feynman diagrams is ascribed to the infinite conductance or zero resistance. In particular, the sets of conditions required to eliminate the overlapping momentum integrals for obtaining the ILIs are found to be associated with the conservations of electric voltages, and the momentum conservations correspond to the conservations of electrical currents, which are known as the Kirchhoff's laws in the electrical circuits analogy. As an application to the massive scalar $ϕ^4$ theory, it enables us to obtain the well-known logarithmic running of the coupling constant and the consistent power-law running of the scalar mass at two loop level. Especially, we present an explicit demonstration on the general procedure of applying the LORE method to the multiloop calculations of Feynman diagrams when merging with the advantage of Bjorken-Drell's circuit analogy.

description: In the years leading up to the Great War, Canadian military planning was driven by two masters: British strategic control, as directed by the General Officer Commanding of the Canadian Militia, and Canadian political authority, represented by the department of Militia and Defence. Following the war in South Africa, Militia Minister Frederick Borden initiated significant military reform. Growing tension in Europe called for closer imperial ties and the Canadian Militia replaced its former reliance upon on a defensive citizen army with a more comprehensive mobilization scheme intended to provide aid to the British Empire. Upon the outbreak of war, however, the enthusiastic and impulsive new Militia Minister Sam Hughes formulated an improvised mobilization plan to orchestrate the rapid departure of the first contingent, known as the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

Image and video classification and image similarity measurement by learning sparse representation
Creators: name: Guha, Tanaya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Sparse representation of signals has recently emerged as a major research area. It is well-known that many natural signals can be sparsely represented using a properly chosen dictionary (e.g. formed of wavelets bases). A dictionary could be complete or overcomplete depending on whether the number of bases it contains is the same or greater than the dimensionality of the given signal. Traditionally, the use of predefined dictionaries has been prevalent in sparse analysis. However, a more generalized approach is to learn the dictionary from the signal itself. Learnt dictionaries are known to outperform predefined dictionaries in several applications. This thesis explores the application of sparse representations of signals obtained by learning overcomplete dictionaries for three applications: 1) classification of images and videos, 2) measurement of similarity between two images, and 3) assessment of perceptual quality of an image. This thesis first capitalizes on the natural discriminative ability of sparse representations to develop efficient classification algorithms. The proposed algorithms are employed in image-based face recognition and video-based human action recognition. They are shown to perform better than the state-of-the-art. The thesis then studies how to obtain a good measure of similarity between two images. Despite the long history of image similarity evaluation, open issues still exist. These include the need of developing generic similarity measures that do not assume any prior knowledge of the task at hand or the data type. This thesis develops a generic image similarity measure based on learning sparse representations. Successful application of the proposed measure to clustering, retrieval and classification of different types of images is demonstrated. The thesis then examines a highly promising approach to assess the perceptual quality of an image. This approach involves comparing the structural information of a possibly distorted image with that in its reference image. The extraction of the structural information that is important to our visual system is a challenging task. A sparse representation-based image quality assessment approach is proposed to address this issue. When compared with seven existing metrics, our method performs the best in three databases and ranks among the top three in the remaining three databases.

description: This report describes a search for associated production of $W$ and Higgs bosons based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $\cal{L}$$ \approx 5.3 \rm fb^{-1}$ collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ Collider. Events containing a $W\rightarrow \ell ν$ candidate (with $\ell$ corresponding to $e$ or $μ$) are selected in association with two or three reconstructed jets. One or two of the jets are required to be consistent with having evolved from a $b$ quark. A multivariate discriminant technique is used to improve the separation of signal and backgrounds. Expected and observed upper limits are obtained for the product of the $WH$ production cross section and branching ratios and reported in terms of ratios relative to the prediction of the standard model as a function of the mass of the Higgs boson ($M_{H}$). The observed and expected 95% C.L. upper limits obtained for an assumed $M_{H}=115 \rm GeV$ are, respectively, factors of 4.5 and 4.8 larger than the value predicted by the standard model.

description: We present a numerical finite size scaling study of the localization length in long cylinders near the integer quantum Hall transition (IQHT) employing the Chalker-Coddington network model. Corrections to scaling that decay slowly with increasing system size make this analysis a very challenging numerical problem. In this work we develop a novel method of stability analysis that allows for a better estimate of error bars. Applying the new method we find consistent results when keeping second (or higher) order terms of the leading irrelevant scaling field. The knowledge of the associated (negative) irrelevant exponent $y$ is crucial for a precise determination of other critical exponents, including multifractal spectra of wave functions. We estimate $|y| > 0.4$, which is considerably larger than most recently reported values. Within this approach we obtain the localization length exponent $2.62 \pm 0.06$ confirming recent results. Our stability analysis has broad applicability to other observables at IQHT, as well as other critical points where corrections to scaling are present.

Fiber-connected massively distributed antenna systems : energy efficiency and interference management
Creators: name: Li, Haoming
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The density of wireless access nodes keeps increasing to provide ubiquitous wireless access and meet the ever-increasing traffic demand. However, the shrinking distance among neighboring access nodes causes excessive interference and the increasing number of access nodes incurs a higher power consumption. A careful management of interference ensures a high system capacity. An improved energy efficiency in wireless access network prevents the fast growth of wireless communication systems from aggravating the global energy crisis. In this thesis, we propose a novel architecture, Fiber-connected Massively Distributed Antennas (FMDA), to address the challenges of managing interference and improving energy efficiency in wireless access networks. A FMDA system is composed of a centralized processing system connected to a large number of antennas via optical cables. The centralized processing system processes all the radio signals and allocates all the radio resources to better manage interference; each antenna contains much simpler circuits than conventional access nodes and therefore allows a massive deployment and reduces the antenna power consumption. We first propose a novel multi-cell wireless local area network (WLAN) system based on our proposed FMDA architecture, where the centralized processing system can see the entire spectrum usage across the coverage area and control the radio signals to be sent to each antenna, thus allowing a better management of inter-cell interference. We then propose an antenna scheduling scheme in a novel cellular system composed of fiber-connected femto access nodes to manage the excessive inter-femtocell interference and reduce the energies consumed by non-sleeping access nodes, thus simultaneously improving the spectral and energy efficiency. When the number of cooperating antennas increases, the power consumption of signal processing spikes, thus drastically degrading the overall energy efficiency due to much smaller radio transmission power levels. Focusing on two typical indoor environments, office buildings and large public venues, we propose two low-complexity downlink transmission schemes to address these energy efficiency challenges.

description: We study some properties of a serial (i.e. one-by-one) symmetric exchange of elements of two disjoint bases of a matroid. We show that any two elements of one base have a serial symmetric exchange with some two elements of the other base. As a result, we obtain that any two disjoint bases in a matroid of rank 4 have a full serial symmetric exchange.

description: We obtain a new solution of the Einstein-anti-Maxwell theory with cosmological constant, called anti-Reissner-Nordstrom-(A)de Sitter (anti-RN-(A)dS) solution. The basic properties of this solution is reviewed. Its thermodynamics is consistently established, with the extreme cases and phase transitions, where the analysis is performed through two methods, the usual one and that of Geometrothermodynamics . The Geometrothermodynamics analysis does not provide a result in agreement with the usual method or by the specific heat. We establish local and global thermodynamic stabilities of anti-RN-AdS solution through the specific heat and the canonical and grand-canonical ensembles.

description: Sigmund Freud, the founding father of psychoanalysis, expressed a war-weariness and disappointment with the barbarity of the war that, after the final dissolution of the Habsburg Empire, gave way to nostalgia and resignation. In the aftermath of the conflict, Freud served as an expert in the Wagner-Jauregg process. His psychological profile of Woodrow Wilson, published posthumously, was the last echo of the Great War in Freud’s oeuvre.

description: In this paper, coordinated beamforming based on relaxed zero forcing (RZF) for K transmitter-receiver pair multiple-input single-output (MISO) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channels is considered. In the RZF coordinated beamforming, conventional zero-forcing interference leakage constraints are relaxed so that some predetermined interference leakage to undesired receivers is allowed in order to increase the beam design space for larger rates than those of the zero-forcing (ZF) scheme or to make beam design feasible when ZF is impossible. In the MISO case, it is shown that the rate-maximizing beam vector under the RZF framework for a given set of interference leakage levels can be obtained by sequential orthogonal projection combining (SOPC). Based on this, exact and approximate closed-form solutions are provided in two-user and three-user cases, respectively, and an efficient beam design algorithm for RZF coordinated beamforming is provided in general cases. Furthermore, the rate control problem under the RZF framework is considered. A centralized approach and a distributed heuristic approach are proposed to control the position of the designed rate-tuple in the achievable rate region. Finally, the RZF framework is extended to MIMO interference channels by deriving a new lower bound on the rate of each user.

Nuovo metodo per radiodatare l’uranio dei nazisti
Creators: Ilaria Barricella
Publisher: name: Media Inaf
Year: 2021

Un'innovativa tecnica di radiodatazione è stata sperimentata su cubi di uranio risalenti al programma nucleare nazista. Il nuovo metodo, messo a punto da un team di scienziati del Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Usa) guidato da Jon Schwantes, si basa su un procedimento già noto, quello della radiocronometria, cioè sulla misurazione dell’abbondanza di elementi prodotti dal decadimento radioattivo. Misurando contemporaneamente le quantità di torio e protoattinio si ottiene però un risultato più sicuro e veloce. I risultati dello studio sono stati presentati ieri a una conferenza dell’American Chemical Society

description: We report a theoretical non-equilibrium description of polaritonics and we propose ultrafast all- optical switching due to highly nonlinear polaritonics. The electronic band structure within gold (Au) nano grains is modified by external laser light. The Au grains are coupled to a single mode photonic waveguide and we derive a strong transmission reduction of switching originating from the establishd quantum interference with a finite lifetime.

Caveats for using statistical significance tests in research assessments

description: This paper raises concerns about the advantages of using statistical significance tests in research assessments as has recently been suggested in the debate about proper normalization procedures for citation indicators. Statistical significance tests are highly controversial and numerous criticisms have been leveled against their use. Based on examples from articles by proponents of the use statistical significance tests in research assessments, we address some of the numerous problems with such tests. The issues specifically discussed are the ritual practice of such tests, their dichotomous application in decision making, the difference between statistical and substantive significance, the implausibility of most null hypotheses, the crucial assumption of randomness, as well as the utility of standard errors and confidence intervals for inferential purposes. We argue that applying statistical significance tests and mechanically adhering to their results is highly problematic and detrimental to critical thinking. We claim that the use of such tests do not provide any advantages in relation to citation indicators, interpretations of them, or the decision making processes based upon them. On the contrary their use may be harmful. Like many other critics, we generally believe that statistical significance tests are over- and misused in the social sciences including scientometrics and we encourage a reform on these matters.
