description: Variational Autoencoder is a scalable method for learning latent variable models of complex data. It employs a clear objective that can be easily optimized. However, it does not explicitly measure the quality of learned representations. We propose a Variational Mutual Information Maximization Framework for VAE to address this issue. It provides an objective that maximizes the mutual information between latent codes and observations. The objective acts as a regularizer that forces VAE to not ignore the latent code and allows one to select particular components of it to be most informative with respect to the observations. On top of that, the proposed framework provides a way to evaluate mutual information between latent codes and observations for a fixed VAE model.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: Risk communication among stakeholders is the essential element behind decisions about risk management measures in the food safety field. However, risk communication has not always been favorably done. Slovic (1999) pointed out that unsuccessful risk management can be traced, in part, to a failure to appreciate the complex and socially determined nature of the concept "risk". The majority of risk perception studies with Socio-psychological models have focused on multi-dimensional characteristics of risk/hazard that have substantial influence on the subjective evaluation of risks. The identified factors of characteristics in these studies, however, cannot suitably explain the characteristics of food related risks. In this study, we re-investigated the factors that influence the perceived magnitude of food-related risks by a laddering method survey in Japan, Korea and the U.S.. The results show that the public have judged the high/low of risk level by 3 categories of factors: perceived risk/hazard characteristics, perceived personal factors and perceived social factors. Severity of damage to health, cause of illness, accumulation in body, benefit and natural/artificial origin were the major factors categorized in perceived risk/hazard characteristics. Perceived personal factors consist of experience, knowledge and association of terrible scene/image. Exposure to information and trust in government/experts were regarded as perceived social factors. A structural model of food-related risk perception might possibly be constructed by adding worldview and general trust to the above 3 factors. This model will be statistically analyzed in the continuous empirical cross-cultural studies.

description: A generalized definition of intrinsic and extrinsic transport coefficients is introduced. We show that transport coefficients from the intrinsic origin are solely determined by local electronic structure, and thus the intrinsic spin Hall effect is not a transport phenomenon. The intrinsic spin Hall current is always accompanied by an equal but opposite intrinsic orbital-angular-momentum Hall current. We prove that the intrinsic spin Hall effect does not induce a spin accumulation at the edge of the sample or near the interface.

description: D’après le Groupe d’experts Intergouvernemental sur l’Evolution du Climat (GIEC), les changements climatiques vont engendrer un accroissement du nombre d’évènements climatiques atypiques à travers le monde, tels les sécheresses et les inondations. Ces anomalies climatiques pourraient avoir des conséquences désastreuses pour les pays ayant des problèmes d’accès à l’eau potable ou dont l’économie dépend de l’agriculture locale. Des études récentes affirment même que la sécheresse est une des causes des guerres civiles. Le cas le plus emblématique est le Darfour. Il fait consensus sur le fait que la sécheresse a été l’un des facteurs de la guerre civile, même si le conflit avait aussi une composante ethnique. Dans notre étude, on montre que le lien entre précipitations, températures et guerre civile obtenu dans la littérature peut être dû à des chocs planétaires non liés à des variations climatiques. Le problème provient du fait qu’il n’est pas possible de distinguer les effets des variations climatiques annuelles des autres phénomènes planétaires tels que des changements politiques de grande échelle comme la fin de la guerre froide ou des variations macroéconomiques globales comme la crise financière. Lorsqu’on tient compte de ce type de facteurs, les variations de précipitation et de température ont un effet beaucoup plus faible et non significatif sur le risque de guerre civile. L’utilisation de l’indice de Palmer, une mesure locale de la sécheresse qui décrit l’impact du manque d’eau sur les conflits sociaux d’une façon plus satisfaisante que les mesures de précipitation et de température, permet de montrer que l’effet de la sécheresse sur le risque de guerre civile est faible mais positif.
Evaluation of the effects of nonlinear soil-structure interaction on the inelastic seismic response of pile-supported bridge piers
Creators: name: Ghalibafian, Houman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation presents an evaluation of the effects of nonlinear soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the inelastic seismic response of pile-supported bridge piers on soft soil. The research was carried out by studying the dynamic responses of prototype soil-foundation-bridge pier systems subjected to earthquake ground motions. The responses were obtained by performing nonlinear dynamic analyses using a commercial finite difference program. The nonlinearities of the soil, the structure, and the soil-structure interface were all accounted for. The numerical analysis method was carefully validated by verifying the modeling of each component of the system and by verifying the modeling of the system as a whole through analyzing an instrumented bridge pier subjected to an actual earthquake. The dynamic responses of the prototype bridge piers were computed with and without consideration of SSI (i.e. flexible-base versus fixed-base piers), and with and without consideration of the inelastic behaviour of the piers. This work explores the efficient implementation and practical application of the direct methods of SSI analysis with a system approach. It presents the seismic demands of the prototype piers and foundations, and provides a quantified picture of the effects of SSI on the ductility and the total displacement demands of the piers as functions of their natural period. This study investigates the effects of the modeling assumption of the structural elements (i.e. elastic versus inelastic behaviour) on the estimated demands, and demonstrates that SSI analyses with elastic structures cannot always provide plausible predictions of the inelastic responses. The effects of SSI on the seismic demands of the bridge piers are also studied probabilistically in order to consider the uncertainties in the system parameters and to account for the dispersions introduced by the variability of input ground motions and soil conditions. Subsequently, SSI modification factors are proposed to estimate the demands of the flexible-base piers from their corresponding fixed-base demands. The proposed method is probabilistic and quantifies the uncertainties involved in computing the modification factors. Finally, this work demonstrates the shortcomings of the nonlinear static pushover analysis for seismic demand estimation of pile-supported bridge piers when SSI is significant.

description: We report on the effect of sp3 hybridized carbon atoms in acene derivatives adsorbed on metal surfaces, namely decoupling the molecules from the supporting substrates. In particular, we have used a Ag(100) substrate and hydrogenated heptacene molecules, in which the longest conjugated segment determining its frontier molecular orbitals amounts to five consecutive rings. The non-planarity that the sp3 atoms impose on the carbon backbone results in electronically decoupled molecules, as demonstrated by the presence of charging resonances in dI/dV tunneling spectra and the associated double tunneling barriers, or in the Kondo peak that is due to a net spin S=1/2 of the molecule as its LUMO becomes singly charged. The spatially dependent appearance of the charging resonances as peaks or dips in the differential conductance spectra is further understood in terms of the tunneling barrier variation upon molecular charging, as well as of the different orbitals involved in the tunneling process.

description: In Einstein's general relativity, geometry replaces the concept of force in the description of the gravitation interaction. Such an approach rests on the universality of free-fall--the weak equivalence principle--and would break down without it. On the other hand, the teleparallel version of general relativity, a gauge theory for the translation group, describes the gravitational interaction by a force similar to the Lorentz force of electromagnetism, a non-universal interaction. It is shown that, similarly to the Maxwell's description of electromagnetism, the teleparallel gauge approach provides a consistent theory for gravitation even in the absence of the weak equivalence principle.

description: We present a lattice-QCD calculation of the pion, kaon and $η_s$ distribution amplitudes using large-momentum effective theory (LaMET). Our calculation is carried out using three ensembles with 2+1+1 flavors of highly improved staggered quarks (HISQ), generated by MILC collaboration, at 310 MeV pion mass with 0.06, 0.09 and 0.12 fm lattice spacings. We use clover fermion action for the valence quarks and tune the quark mass to match the lightest light and strange masses in the sea. The resulting lattice matrix elements are nonperturbatively renormalized in regularization-independent momentum-subtraction (RI/MOM) scheme and extrapolated to the continuum. We use two approaches to extract the $x$-dependence of the meson distribution amplitudes: 1) we fit the renormalized matrix elements in coordinate space to an assumed distribution form through a one-loop matching kernel; 2) we use a machine-learning algorithm trained on pseudo lattice-QCD data to make predictions on the lattice data. We found the results are consistent between these methods with the latter method giving a less smooth shape. Both approaches suggest that as the quark mass increases, the distribution amplitude becomes narrower. Our pion distribution amplitude has broader distribution than predicted by light-front constituent-quark model, and the moments of our pion distributions agree with previous lattice-QCD results using the operator production expansion.

description: We present the first results of meson production in the K^+K^- decay channel from Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV as measured at mid-rapidity by the PHENIX detector at RHIC. Precision resonance centroid and width values are extracted as a function of collision centrality. No significant variation from the PDG accepted values is observed. The transverse mass spectra are fitted with a linear exponential function for which the derived inverse slope parameter is seen to be constant as a function of centrality. These data are also fitted by a hydrodynamic model with the result that the freeze-out temperature and the expansion velocity values are consistent with the values previously derived from fitting single hadron inclusive data. As a function of transverse momentum the collisions scaled peripheral.to.central yield ratio RCP for the is comparable to that of pions rather than that of protons. This result lends support to theoretical models which distinguish between baryons and mesons instead of particle mass for explaining the anomalous proton yield.

Speckle interferometric data were obtained at the 6 m Big Alt-azimuth Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences (BTA SAO RAS) from 2007 to 2019. New data, together with measures already in the literature, made it possible to improve upon previous orbital solutions in six cases and to construct orbits for the first time in the two remaining cases (HIP 14524 and HIP 60444). Mass sums are obtained using both Hipparcos and Gaia parallaxes, and a comparison with previously published values is made. Using the Worley & Heintz criteria, the classiffcation of the orbits constructed is carried out.

description: Purpose: International data demonstrate association between clinical trial participation and reduced cancer mortality. Adolescents and young adults (AYA) have low clinical trial enrollment rates. We established a program to understand local barriers and develop targeted solutions that lead to greater AYA clinical trial participation. Methods: A steering committee (SC) with expertise in adult and pediatric oncology, research ethics, and consumer representation was formed. The SC mapped barriers related to AYA trial access and established working groups (WGs) around three themes. Results: The Regulatory Awareness WG identified a lack of understanding of processes that support protocol approval for clinical trials across the AYA age range. A guideline to raise awareness was developed. The Access WG identified challenges for young adults (18-25 years) to access a pediatric hospital to enroll in a pediatric trial. A procedure was developed to streamline applications for access. The first six applications using this procedure have been successful. The Availability WG identified lack of pediatric-adult oncology reciprocal relationships as a barrier to awareness of open trials, and future collaboration. An AYA Craft Group Framework was established to grow relationships within tumor streams across institutions; two craft groups are now operating locally. An additional achievement was a successful request to the Therapeutic Goods Administration for Australian adoption of the Food and Drug Administration Guidance on Considerations for the Inclusion of Adolescent Patients in Adult Oncology Clinical Trials. Conclusion: This multipronged approach to improving AYA clinical trial access has relevance for other health environments. Our knowledge products are available as an online toolkit.

description: We discuss the possibility that r-process nucleosynthesis may occur in the winds from gamma ray burst accretion disks. This can happen if the temperature of the disk is sufficiently high that electron antineutrinos are trapped as well as neutrinos. This implies accretion disks with greater than a solar mass per second accretion rate, although lower accretion rates with higher black hole spin parameters may provide viable environments as well. Additionally, the outflow from the disk must either have relatively low entropy, e.g. around s = 10, or the initial acceleration of the wind must be slow enough that it is neutrino and antineutrino capture as opposed to electron and positron capture that sets the electron fraction.

description: Triangular zigzag nanographenes, such as triangulene and its pi-extended homologues, have received widespread attention as organic nanomagnets for molecular spintronics, and may serve as building blocks for high-spin networks with long-range magnetic order - of immense fundamental and technological relevance. As a first step toward these lines, we present the on-surface synthesis and a proof-of-principle experimental study of magnetism in covalently bonded triangulene dimers. On-surface reactions of rationally-designed precursor molecules on Au(111) lead to the selective formation of triangulene dimers in which the triangulene units are either directly connected through their minority sublattice atoms, or are separated via a 1,4-phenylene spacer. The chemical structures of the dimers have been characterized by bond-resolved scanning tunneling microscopy. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy and inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy measurements reveal collective singlet-triplet spin excitations in the dimers, demonstrating efficient inter-triangulene magnetic coupling.

description: Finding an accurate stress-strain relation, able to describe the mechanical behavior of metals during {forming} and machining processes, is an important challenge in several fields of mechanics, with significant repercussions in the technological field. Indeed, in order to predict the real mechanical behavior of materials, constitutive laws must be able to take into account elastic, viscous and plastic phenomena. Most constitutive models are based on empirical evidence and/or theoretical approaches, and provide a good prediction of the mechanical behavior of several materials. Here we present a non linear stress-strain relation based on fractional operators. The proposed constitutive law is based on integral formulation, and takes into account the viscoelastic behavior of the material and the inelastic phenomenon that appears when the stress reaches a particular yielding value. A specific case of the proposed constitutive law for imposed strain history is used to fit experimental data obtained from tensile tests on two kind of metal alloys. A best-fitting procedure demonstrates the accuracy of the proposed stress-strain relation and its results are compared to those obtained with some classical models. We conclude that the proposed model provides the best results in predicting the mechanical behavior for low and high values of stress/strain.

We show that using the resonant pumping one can address and manipulate selectively individual spin states of a magnetic impurity. The mechanisms of resonant optical polarization of a single impurity in a quantum dot involve anisotropic exchange interactions and are different to those in diluted semiconductors. A Mn impurity can act as qubit. The limiting factors for the qubit manipulation are the electron-hole exchange interaction and finite temperature.

description: Following a recent report on experiments it has been claimed that a phonon heat transfer through a vacuum gap between two solids due to quantum fluctuations had been measured. Here we make a theoretical analyzis of this mechanism and demonstrate that the Casimir force driven heat flux is at least 15 orders of magnitude smaller than the near-field heat flux between two solids at any given separating distance. Moreover, we provide compelling arguments that the measures reported are no more and no less a measure of the virtual temperatures of vibrating modes which does not allow an access to the Casimir force driven heat flux.

We show that ferromagnetic fluctuations are dominant owing to the existence of disconnected Fermi pockets near van Hove singularity, and hence odd-parity spin-triplet superconductivity is favored. In the absence of the spin-orbit coupling, we find that odd-parity $f$-wave superconducting state is stabilized in a wide range of carrier density and interlayer coupling. Furthermore, we investigate impacts of the layer-dependent staggered Rashba and Zeeman spin-orbit coupling on the superconductivity. Multiple odd-parity superconducting phase diagrams are obtained as a function of the spin-orbit coupling and Coulomb interaction. Especially, a topological chiral $p$-wave pairing state is stabilized in the presence of a moderate Zeeman spin-orbit coupling. Our results shed light on a possibility of odd-parity superconductivity in various ferromagnetic van der Waals materials.

description: This paper examines the impact of the banana dispute between the European Union (EU) and Latin American banana producers and the US on the supply of bananas from Dominica. It also looks at the future of the banana industry in light of the resolution of the dispute and the possibilities of the Fairtrade market. This examination is done through the analysis of the trends in supply, exports, prices and the contribution of the industry to the economy since the 1980s. The impact was further assessed using regression analysis to determine the factors that may have led to the decline of the banana supply. Based on the analysis, it was found that the fall in price was a key factor responsible for the decline in banana production, as a result of changes in the trading arrangements by which bananas entered the EU. It is expected that the resolution of the banana dispute will further erode banana production by ACP producers. A strategy of diversification for bananas for Dominica is therefore highly endorsed.

description: We have searched for Theta+(1.54) -> K0,p decays using data from the 1999 run of the HyperCP experiment at Fermilab. We see no evidence for a narrow peak in the K0,p mass distribution near 1.54 GeV/c among 106,000 K0,p candidates, and obtain an upper limit for the fraction of Theta+(1.54) to K0,p candidates of <0.3% at 90% confidence.

description: Isotopically resolved cross sections and velocity distributions have been measured in charge-pickup reactions of 1 A GeV 208Pb with proton, deuterium and titanium target. The total and partial charge-pickup cross sections in the reactions 208Pb + 1H and 208Pb + 2H are measured to be the same in the limits of the error bars. A weak increase in the total charge-pickup cross section is seen in the reaction of 208Pb with the titanium target. The measured velocity distributions show different contributions - quasi-elastic scattering and Delta-resonance excitation - to the charge-pickup production. Data on total and partial charge-pickup cross sections from these three reactions are compared with other existing data and also with model calculations based on the coupling of different intra-nuclear cascade codes and an evaporation code.

Les jeunes détenus de Fleury-Mérogis et leurs pratiques alimentaires : créer du lien, se distinguer et hiérarchiser

description: Since young offenders share very few activities such as educational or training workshops, relationships and hierarchies are formed through speech (calls, shouts, insults, and discussions “just to talk”), brawls and fights. However, as we demonstrate in this paper based on a year of ethnographic fieldwork in Fleury-Mérogis Young Offenders Detention Centre, food also plays a major role in relationships through the exchange of edible goods and their display in cells as well as during mealtimes when prisoners have the opportunity to declare their tastes and proclaim who they are. Eating practices are used to define oneself and set oneself apart, enabling these boys to construct identities for themselves.

description: En juillet 2008 apparaît pour la première fois au Maroc la peste des petits ruminants (PPR). S'agissant d'une maladie décrite comme des plus violentes et destructrices, son occurrence sur le territoire marocain intéressait une grande variété d'acteurs, des éleveurs aux décideurs en passant par les gouvernements étrangers et les organisations internationales. A partir d'une enquête qualitative menée au Maroc entre 2011 et 2012, l'article analyse d'abord la construction du problème de la PPR, puis montre comment, pour être efficaces, les recommandations de l'OIE ont été adaptées au contexte marocain. Parmi les différentes préconisations pour lutter contre la PPR, c'est la vaccination qui a été privilégiée à la fois par les acteurs nationaux et internationaux. L'article met en lumière les nombreux éléments, institutionnels ou contextuels, qui ont facilité le transfert de cette solution et de quelle manière le Maroc et ses services vétérinaires ont transformé ce défi en opportunité. Elle va légitimer et renforcer les choix de politique publique engagés par le Maroc avant la crise.

description: This paper discusses experimental design for the Laser Astrometric Test Of Relativity (LATOR) mission. LATOR is designed to reach unprecedented accuracy of 1 part in 10^8 in measuring the curvature of the solar gravitational field as given by the value of the key Eddington post-Newtonian parameter γ. This mission will demonstrate the accuracy needed to measure effects of the next post-Newtonian order (~G^2) of light deflection resulting from gravity's intrinsic non-linearity. LATOR will provide the first precise measurement of the solar quadrupole moment parameter, J2, and will improve determination of a variety of relativistic effects including Lense-Thirring precession. The mission will benefit from the recent progress in the optical communication technologies -- the immediate and natural step above the standard radio-metric techniques. The key element of LATOR is a geometric redundancy provided by the laser ranging and long-baseline optical interferometry. We discuss the mission and optical designs, as well as the expected performance of this proposed mission. LATOR will lead to very robust advances in the tests of Fundamental physics: this mission could discover a violation or extension of general relativity, or reveal the presence of an additional long range interaction in the physical law. There are no analogs to the LATOR experiment; it is unique and is a natural culmination of solar system gravity experiments.

description: Chirality transfer between fermions and gauge fields plays a crucial role for understanding the dynamics of anomalous transport phenomena such as the Chiral Magnetic Effect. In this proceeding we present a first principles study of these processes based on classical-statistical real-time lattice simulations of strongly coupled QED $(e^2N_f=64)$. Our simulations demonstrate that a chirality imbalance in the fermion sector triggers chiral plasma instabilities in the gauge field sector, which ultimately lead to the generation of long range helical magnetic fields via a self-similar turbulent cascade of the magnetic helicity.

description: Systemische Innovationen erfolgen häufig in als überkomplex wahrgenommenen Umgebungen, etwa bei der Transformation unseres Energiesystems. In diesem Beitrag wenden wir uns Diskursen im Kontext der Energiewende in Deutschland zu, letztere getrieben vom Innovationsimperativ des Klimaschutzes. Anhand von vier exemplarischen Fällen (atomare Endlagersuche, Solarenergie sowie Windenergie an Land und auf See) betrachten wir Diskurskoalitionen heterogener Akteure in diesem Handlungsfeld. In Anlehnung an die wicked problems-Forschung von Horst Rittel und Melvin Webber konnten wir teils mehr, teils weniger verzwickte Auffassungen von Energiewendefragen herausstellen. Verzwickte Probleme werden unter erheblicher gesellschaftlicher Anstrengung erkannt und können umso motivierter einer gewissen Zähmung zugänglich sein. Wicked problems können Innovationen sowohl ankurbeln als auch hemmen, oftmals in Abhängigkeit der agierenden Akteure.

description: The recent changes in the agricultural world tend to blur the family farm’s boundaries, which invites us to analyse those two institutions as articulated. On the basis of a case study conducted on dairy cattle farms in Vercors, we set a framework which links family configurations and farm paths. In order to do that, we use the two concepts of descent group and domestic group. Thus, we reveal the diversity of ways of being a farming family, ways of being which don’t have the same consequences on the management of the farm. We show inversely how the farm’ family and technical history can have a greater or lesser strong influence on people. The study reveals that even in farms which are designed from a legal point of view to enable to keep the family at a distance, the family dimension is never absent.
