description: We estimate the impact of ultra-fast broadband on schools’ academic performance using a difference-in-difference study of a new fibre broadband network. We show that fibre broadband increases primary schools’ passing rates in standardised assessments by roughly one percentage point. Estimates are robust to alternative specifications, such as controlling for time-varying covariates. We find no evidence that gender, ethnic minorities or students enrolled in remote schools benefit disproportionately. However, we find some evidence of a larger benefit within schools that have a greater proportion of students from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

description: We study the status of the CPT violating neutrino mass spectrum which has been proposed to simultaneously accommodate the oscillation data from LSND, KamLAND, atmospheric and solar neutrino experiments, as well as the non-observation of anti-neutrino disappearance in short-baseline reactor experiments. We perform a three-generation analysis of the global data with the aim of elucidating the viability of this solution. We find no compatibility between the results of the oscillation analysis of LSND and all-but-LSND data sets below 3$σ$ CL. Furthermore, the global data without LSND show no evidence for CPT violation: the best fit point of the all-but-LSND analysis occurs very close to a CPT conserving scenario.

description: As is the case in most developed countries, the population of New Zealand is ageing numerically and structurally. Population ageing can have important effects on the distribution of personal income within and between urban areas. The age structure of the population may affect the distribution of income through the life-cycle profile of earnings but also through the spatial-temporal distribution of income within the various age groups. By decomposing New Zealand census data from 1986 to 2013 by age and urban area, this chapter examines the effects of population ageing on spatial-temporal changes in the distribution of personal income to better understand urban area-level income inequality (measured by the Mean Log Deviation index). We focus explicitly on differences between metropolitan and non-metropolitan urban areas. New Zealand has experienced a significant increase in income inequality over the last few decades, but population ageing has slightly dampened this trend. Because metropolitan areas are ageing slower, the inequality-reducing effect of ageing has been less in these areas. However, this urban-size differential-ageing effect on inequality growth has been relatively small compared with the faster growth in intra-age group inequality in the metropolitan areas.

description: Particle identity and entanglement are two fundamental quantum properties that work as major resources for various quantum information tasks. However, it is still a challenging problem to understand the correlation of the two properties in the same system. While recent theoretical studies have shown that the spatial overlap between identical particles is necessary for nontrivial entanglement, the exact role of particle indistinguishability in the entanglement of identical particles has never been analyzed quantitatively before. Here, we theoretically and experimentally investigate the behavior of entanglement between two bosons as spatial overlap and indistinguishability simultaneously vary. The theoretical computation of entanglement for generic two bosons with pseudospins is verified experimentally in a photonic system. Our results show that the amount of entanglement is a monotonically increasing function of both quantities. We expect that our work provides an insight into deciphering the role of the entanglement in quantum networks that consist of identical particles.

description: Bipartite entanglement is one of the fundamental quantifiable resources of quantum information theory. We propose a new application of this resource to the theory of quantum measurements. According to Naimark's theorem any rank 1 generalised measurement (POVM) M may be represented as a von Neumann measurement in an extended (tensor product) space of the system plus ancilla. By considering a suitable average of the entanglements of these measurement directions and minimising over all Naimark extensions, we define a notion of entanglement cost E_min(M) of M. We give a constructive means of characterising all Naimark extensions of a given POVM. We identify various classes of POVMs with zero and non-zero cost and explicitly characterise all POVMs in 2 dimensions having zero cost. We prove a constant upper bound on the entanglement cost of any POVM in any dimension. Hence the asymptotic entanglement cost (i.e. the large n limit of the cost of n applications of M, divided by n) is zero for all POVMs. The trine measurement is defined by three rank 1 elements, with directions symmetrically placed around a great circle on the Bloch sphere. We give an analytic expression for its entanglement cost. Defining a normalised cost of any d-dimensional POVM by E_min(M)/log(d), we show (using a combination of analytic and numerical techniques) that the trine measurement is more costly than any other POVM with d>2, or with d=2 and ancilla dimension 2. This strongly suggests that the trine measurement is the most costly of all POVMs.

description: This note aims to help firms looking to offset their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Emissions reductions from native forestry sequestration are already recognised in the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and it is ‘shovel ready’ to generate native forest offsets. 10,000 Ha of post-1989 native forest land would sequester 65,000 tonnes of CO2-e annually on average over 50 years, and would be eligible to earn 65,000 NZUs per year under the ETS. Native forestry also has a wide range of associated environmental, cultural, social and economic co-benefits. It is certainly possible for more native afforestation to occur at present, and within the existing policy framework; however, challenges do still exist. These include: a lack of awareness; limited access to capital; the complexity of the ETS; policy uncertainty; and some specific policy settings. The New Zealand business community can play an important role in solving these problems. Businesses can help influence government policy and have the capital and capacity to play a facilitating role in the market.

description: Accurate measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy call for high precision and reliability of the in-flight calibration. For extended surveys the CMB dipole provides an excellent calibration source at frequencies lower than 200 GHz; however poorly known foreground emissions, such as diffuse galactic components, complicate the signal and introduce a systematic error in the calibration. We show that introducing a weight function that takes into account the uncertainty in the a priori knowledge of the sky, allows us to substantially improve the calibration accuracy with respect to methods involving galactic latitude cuts. This new method is tested for Planck-LFI radiometers at 30 and 100 GHz. On short time scales (less than 1 day) the absolute calibration of each channel can be recovered with an overall 1-2% accuracy. We also consider the effect of CMB anisotropy itself on the calibration, and find that knowledge of the CMB pattern on large scales is needed to keep the short-time scale calibration accuracy within 1%

description: The administration of President Donald Trump has made altering the international commercial practices of Chinese firms, state-owned enterprises and various levels of government the centrepiece of its trade policy agenda. It expects China to meet its perceived standards for the conduct of international commerce. It takes no account of China’s experience with the unequal treaties imposed on China by the United States and other powers in the 19th and early 20th centuries – and as a result has unrealistic expectations regarding China’s international trade practices. The existing rules of trade have little to say regarding the complaints of the United States pertaining to China’s conduct of international commerce. The rules of trade agreed at the WTO, however, constrain the ability of the Trump administration to induce China to change its trade practices. As a result, the Trump administration is attempting to have the constraints removed or is choosing to ignore them. This puts the rules-based system of international trade at risk.

description: AbstractBackground and aims: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is an important public health problem globally. Algorithms incorporating the assessment of clinical biomarkers together with several established traditional risk factors can help clinicians to predict CHD and support clinical decision making with respect to interventions. Decision tree (DT) is a data mining model for extracting hidden knowledge from large databases. We aimed to establish a predictive model for coronary heart disease using a decision tree algorithm. Methods: Here we used a dataset of 2346 individuals including 1159 healthy participants and 1187 participant who had undergone coronary angiography (405 participants with negative angiography and 782 participants with positive angiography). We entered 10 variables of a total 12 variables into the DT algorithm (including age, sex, FBG, TG, hs-CRP, TC, HDL, LDL, SBP and DBP). Results: Our model could identify the associated risk factors of CHD with sensitivity, specificity, accuracy of 96%, 87%, 94% and respectively. Serum hs-CRP levels was at top of the tree in our model, following by FBG, gender and age. Conclusion: Our model appears to be an accurate, specific and sensitive model for identifying the presence of CHD, but will require validation in prospective studies.

description: This analysis examined the effects of the implementation of the Chinese retaliatory tariff on U.S. cotton exports and the world cotton market using a partial equilibrium model of the world fibre market. A unique characteristic of this model is that China’s cotton imports are divided into imports from the United States and imports from the rest of the world (ROW). Compared to a base-level estimate, the imposed tariff on U.S. cotton imports would decrease Chinese cotton imports from the United States and increase imports from ROW. Meanwhile, it would put downward pressure on the world cotton price and the U.S. cotton farm price.

description: With the recent developments in engineering quantum systems, the realization of scalable local-area quantum networks has become viable. However, the design and implementation of a quantum network is a holistic task that is way beyond the scope of an abstract design problem. As such, a testbed on which multiple disciplines can verify the design and implementation across a full networking stack has become a necessary infrastructure for the future development of quantum networks. In this work, we demonstrate the concept of quantum internet service provider (QISP), in analogy to the conventional ISP that allows for the sharing of classical information between the network nodes. The QISP is significant for the next-generation quantum networks as it coordinates the production, management, control, and sharing of quantum information across the end-users of a quantum network. We construct a reconfigurable QISP comprising both the quantum hardware and classical control software. Building on the fiber-based quantum-network testbed of the Center for Quantum Networks (CQN) at the University of Arizona (UA), we develop an integrated QISP prototype based on a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) architecture, whose classical control software is abstracted and modularized as an open-source QISP framework. To verify and characterize the QISP's performance, we demonstrate multi-channel entanglement distribution and routing among multiple quantum-network nodes with a time-energy entangled-photon source. We further perform field tests of concurrent services for multiple users across the quantum-network testbed. Our experiment demonstrates the robust capabilities of the QISP, laying the foundation for the design and verification of architectures and protocols for future quantum networks.

Due to orbital degeneracy, Jahn-Teller coupling and Hund's rule exchange, and with a large on-site Coulomb repulsion, these molecular conductors should display, particularly near half filling at two electrons/molecule, very unconventional properties, including Mott insulators, strongly correlated superconductivity, and other intriguing phases.

description: Collecting data about the sequences of function calls executed by an application while running in the field can be useful to a number of applications, including failure reproduction, profiling, and debugging. Unfortunately, collecting data from the field may introduce annoying slowdowns that negatively affect the quality of the user experience. So far, the impact of monitoring has been mainly studied in terms of the overhead that it may introduce in the monitored applications, rather than considering if the introduced overhead can be really recognized by users. In this paper we take a different perspective studying to what extent collecting data about sequences of function calls may impact the quality of the user experience, producing recognizable effects. Interestingly we found that, depending on the nature of the executed operation and its execution context, users may tolerate a non-trivial overhead. This information can be potentially exploited to collect significant amount of data without annoying users.

 Curculio picipes Marsham, 1802: 272.
 Description
Length 3.5–6.9 mm. Head seldom with any trace of a frontal pit; rostrum not, or only slightly, longer than pronotum, usually with distinct median carina, often extending for most of its length; nasal plate without a distinct median carinula; sides very weakly tapering anteriad and often with faint constriction just before pre­apical expansion.
Antennae with funicle segment 2 × 1.2–1.8 as long as 3; segment 7 quadrate (weakly transverse in small specimens).
Pronotum with or without a smooth median line; punctures on disc fairly regular, with hexagonal interspaces.
Vestiture of elytra uniformly variegated, never with larger scattered suberect white setae (Fig. 5); scutellum only rarely white; setae at sides of prothorax, above coxae, mostly bi­ or multifid.
Terminalia. Column of male sternite 8 with elongate, straight or sinuous, flexible processes (Figs 74–82); sternite 8 of female with pigmented areas convergent or fused, apical setae large (<0.1 mm long)(Figs 24, 25, 27–34); spermatheca with elongate tapering gland­lobe.
 Comments
 In this species antennal funicle segment 2 is, on average, longer, in relation to 3, than in the other species. In many specimens the pre­apical expansion of the upperside of the rostrum is displaced anteriad of the expansion of the underside, so that the rims of the latter are narrowly exposed when viewed directly from above. In other species the expansions coincide exactly. It is interesting that this character, first noticed by my colleague, Roger Booth, was used by Calder and Sands (1985: figs 5, 7) to separate two species of the South American erirhinid Cyrtobagous.
 The range of P. picipes extends from Spain to Azerbaijan and the Middle East. I have seen enough material to convince me that three allopatric forms of this species exist, one in western Europe, another in the Russian Federation and a third in the Middle East. These forms differ chiefly in the vestiture of the tibiae, as indicated in the key (above, p.13). Although some variation has been detected in the shape of the duct­lobe of the spermatheca, this is not supported by any differences in male sternite 8. Moreover, the differences in vestiture of the tibiae seem to show a west­east progression from banded to uniform. For these reasons I treat these three forms as subspecies.

description: The hadron/pion ratio is calculated in 200 GeV AuAu collisions at midrapidity, applying pQCD and non-universal transverse-momentum broadening. Arguments are presented for such non-universality, and the idea is implemented in a model, which explains the enhancement of the hadron/pion ratio in central AuAu collisions. The model also describes the qualitative difference between the recently-measured dAu nuclear enhancement factors for pions and charged hadrons.

Zeeman-splitting-induced Topological Nodal Structure and Anomalous Hall Conductivity in ZrTe$_5$

description: We investigate the topological nodal structure of three-dimensional (3D) ZrTe$_5$ driven by Zeeman splitting as a function of the direction of external magnetic (B) field by using a Wannier-function-based tight-binding (WFTB) model obtained from first-principles calculations. It is known that small external stimuli can drive 3D ZrTe$_5$ into different topological phases including Dirac semimetal. In order to emphasize the effect of Zeeman splitting, we consider 3D ZrTe$_5$ in a strong TI phase with a small band gap. With Zeeman splitting greater than the band gap, the WFTB model suggests that a type-I nodal ring protected by (glide) mirror symmetry is formed when the B field aligns with the crystal $a$ or $b$ axes, and that a pair of type-I Weyl nodes are formed otherwise, when conduction and valence bands touch. We show that a pair of Weyl nodes can disappear through formation of a nodal ring, rather than requiring two Weyl nodes with opposite chirality to come together. Interestingly, a type-II nodal ring appears from crossings of the top two valence bands when the B field is applied along the $c$ axis. This nodal ring gaps out to form type-II Weyl nodes when the B field rotates in the $bc$ plane. Comparing the WFTB and linearized $k \cdot p$ model, we find inadequacy of the latter at some B field directions. Further, using the WFTB model, we numerically compute the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity ${σ_{ac}}$ induced by Berry curvature as a function of chemical potential and B field direction. We find that ${σ_{ac}}$ increases abruptly when the B field is tilted from the $a$ axis within the $ab$ plane. Our WFTB model also shows significant anomalous Hall conductivity induced by avoided level crossings even in the absence of Weyl nodes.

description: There have been some important changes in Canada’s preferential trade network over the last few years. At the regional level, the renegotiations over the NAFTA produced the generally similar USMCA. At the inter-regional level, the CETA and the CPTPP marked significant steps toward promoting Canada’s trade with distant countries. This article overviews the corresponding regional and inter-regional trade preferences for agricultural products. It examines the welfare effects of the USMCA and more pronounced regional preferential schemes, and those of the CETA and the CPTPP for Canada in the agricultural markets. It assesses the welfare outcomes from different scenarios involving various combinations of presence and absence of regional and inter-regional trade preferences. The analysis underlines that the deepening of North American market integration would lead to increases in Canada’s welfare. It shows that inter-regional trade preferences could exceed the USMCA/NAFTA in promoting imports in some cases, resulting in increases in Canada’s welfare. However, inter-regional trade preferences may not entirely substitute for the welfare losses resulting from the absence/elimination of regional trade preferences in some other cases. This article suggests that Canada would generally benefit from higher welfare levels across agricultural markets through a simultaneous network of regional and inter-regional trade preferences.

description: SDA has been successful in facilitating easy online analysis of survey data for a wide range of users -- researchers, faculty, students, journalists and others. SDA's ability to provide analysis "in the cloud" -- without the need to download data or install statistical software -- has proven very popular. Now we are extending SDA's capabilities in a number of ways for various types of users. For students and other "beginners" we are simplifying the user interface by hiding more advanced options until they are needed. For more advanced users we are: adding new options for complex standard errors, enabling private workspaces where analysts can create recoded and computed variables and selectively share them with collaborators, and providing ways to save and share analysis options so a particular analysis can be easily recreated. And for archivists who are setting up an SDA archive, we are simplifying the installation procedure by consolidating the SDA distribution package into a single Java Web application.

description: From July 2016 to June 2017, the market research company GfK SE introduced the first representative diary study on food waste in German private households. Almost 7,000 households recorded and reported about their handling of food waste (FW) over a period of 14 days each. The study distinguished between avoidable and unavoidable FW and leftovers. The present report introduces the methodology and the findings of that study and also provides comments and recommendations by Thünen Institute (German Federal Research Institute for Rural Areas, Forestry and Fisheries) for future replications from a scientific point of view. The GfK study provides many new insights into how FW is handled in private households in Germany and offers basic knowledge for developing new policy options for reducing food waste. In particular, the type and composition of the discarded foods provides detailed indications of key issues, e.g. 16 % of avoidable FW is cooked / prepared (with a very high energy input). In some cases well-known reasons for disposal are confirmed, and classified in their importance for the topic, such as the result related to the best-before date (BBD): Only 5.8 % of respondents indicate this as a disposal reason. Overall, 57.6 % of food is thrown away due to ´problems related to durability´, 36.6 % were spoiled. When interpreting the results one should bear in mind that carryover effects can obscure the root causes of food disposal, e.g. suboptimal shopping behaviour causes problems regarding durability. Thus, the most important disposal reasons could be reduced by more planned and needs-based shopping and proper storage and processing at home. But this would take much more time, which may seem disproportionate to many consumers. It should be underlined that the extrapolated values for the total food waste of just under 4.4 million tons are to be considered as the lower threshold. About 44 % of this food waste was considered avoidable by the surveyed households. Thus, there is a theoretical potential for improvement, which could be specifically addressed by using additional information from more detailed surveys.

description: For a finite dimensional vector space G we define the k-th generic syzygy scheme Gensyz_k(G) by explicit equations. We show that the syzygy scheme Syz(f) of any syzygy in the linear strand of a projective variety X which is cut out by quadrics is a cone over a linear section of a corresponding generic syzygy scheme. We also give a geometric description of Gensyz_k(G) for k=0,1,2. In particular Gensyz_2(G) is the union of a Pl"ucker embedded Grassmannian and a linear space. From this we deduce that every smooth, non-degenerate projective curve C which is cut out by quadrics and has a p-th linear syzygy of rank p+3 admits a rank 2 vector bundle E with det E = O_C(1) and h^0(E) at least p+4.

No Fun City
Creators: name: Killoh, Rachel
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Vancouver has developed a branding over the years, as “No Fun City", with distinct factors of outdated regulations, expensive rent and exclusive attitudes surrounding its night scene. With current existential threats to nightlife, this reputation for the third largest Canadian city is more relevant now than ever before. Through historical and personal analysis, this proposal investigates the many facets that compose the way in which Vancouver nightlife experiences have been designed and cultivated over time. Specifically, places of alternative D.I.Y. venues have come to be misunderstood as illegal liabilities to the city, while a breadth of subcultures and diversity exists within. While to some controversial, these authentic spaces of gather are pivotal to Vancouver’s culture and arguably all night time economies. In a post-covid world, where boundaries and definitions of social drinking space have disseminated and new alcohol regulations have been put in place, it begs the question how can we look to it’s wild nightlife history to better connect post-adolescence communities? How might this inform a new, authentic architectural language unique to Vancouver? This thesis investigates the current complexities surrounding Vancouver’s nightlife by re-imagining a new typology as incubation space for creative post-adolescents.
Exploring digital curation definition across research centers, university, government, and commercial industries in the U.S.

description: Cursory research of literature and select US and foreign institutions' websites on the emerging field of digital curation reveal varied definitions of digital curation with some definitions possessing ambiguous interpretations when digital curation and data curation appear to be used interchangeably to define digital curation. Hence, a survey titled defining digital curation understanding was developed to address this research issue. The goal of this survey is to understand the public's perception of data curation, digital preservation, digital curation, and life cycle terms. This survey was created to illuminate common terminology development across multiple research disciplines for deeper inter-disciplinary research exploration and collaboration within the broader context of data management. Since digital curation involves multiple research disciplines, institutions and organizations, there is a need to assess the public's response to the development towards common nomenclature of definitions and interpretations across multiple disciplines. The data from this survey will be used to support and stimulate discussions toward impacting decisions for the establishment of baseline terminology agreement across disciplines, institutions, and organizations in the US with practical implications for contributions to curriculum, theoretical, and professional development. This exploratory research poster will use text, graphics, and survey results to explore defining digital curation understanding across disciplines, institutions, and organizations in the US, provide insight into future digital curation curriculum development, and contribute to existing literature in the emerging field of digital curation research in the US.

description: With the increased need for multi-center magnetic resonance imaging studies, problems arise related to differences in hardware and software between centers. Namely, current algorithms for brain volume quantification are unreliable for the longitudinal assessment of volume changes in this type of setting. Currently most methods attempt to decrease this issue by regressing the scanner- and/or center-effects from the original data. In this work, we explore a novel approach to harmonize brain volume measurements by using only image descriptors. First, we explore the relationships between volumes and image descriptors. Then, we train a Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) model over a large multi-site dataset of healthy subjects to perform volume harmonization. Finally, we validate the method over two different datasets: i) a subset of unseen healthy controls; and ii) a test-retest dataset of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The method decreases scanner and center variability while preserving measurements that did not require correction in MS patient data. We show that image descriptors can be used as input to a machine learning algorithm to improve the reliability of longitudinal volumetric studies.

How to encode the states of two non-entangled qubits in one qutrit?

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: A new scheme of quantum coding is presented. The scheme concerns the quantum states to which Schumacher's compression does not apply. It is shown that two qubits can be encoded in a single qutrit in such a way that one can faithfully reconstruct the state of one qubit. Decision on which of these two qubits is to be reconstructed can be made long after the encoding took place. The scheme succeeds with the average probability of 2/3.

subject: Thünen-Accessibility-Model

description: Within the scope of the project, „Future of refugees in rural areas in Germany,” determinants of the integration of refugees in rural areas are analysed to identify potential needs for policy action and to deduce policy recommendations. It is often said that rural areas are especially suited to integrating refugees because ample living spaces are available to house them at a local level. However, one drawback of this approach might be the local abundance or poor accessibility of important infrastructures of basic needs. In addition, dependent on the housing location, the access to these infrastructures might differ considerably within a county. This can have considerable consequences on the individual living conditions of the refugees. Therefore, the accessibility of infrastructures of basic needs with different means of transport like car, bicycle, foot or public transport is one of the central factors of integration. Against this background within the scope of the work package “Accessibility and Mobility” the accessibility of selected infrastructures of basic needs are examined within the eight project counties: Bautzen, Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim, Nordsachsen, Northeim, Regen, Vechta, Waldeck-Frankenberg und Werra-Meißner-Kreis. The Thünen-Accessibility-Model is used to assess access data for the following means of transport: car, foot, bicycle and public transport The results are based on a 250 m x 250 m-analysis grid covering the project counties. The results of this analysis are presented in maps and statistical figures in the data-report at hand. In part I of the report the Thünen-Accessibility-Model is introduced, followed by considerations on the explanatory power and interpretation of the analysis results. Part I of the report closes with a summary on the accessibility of infrastructures of basic needs in the project counties. In part II of the report for the eight project counties and its communities the accessibility of selected infrastructures of basic needs are presented in detail in terms of maps and statistics.

description: We consider a semi-classical completely integrable system defined by a $\hbar$-pseudodifferential operator $\hat{H}$ on the torus $\mathbb{T}^{d}$. In order to study perturbed operators of the form $\hat{H}+\hbar^κ\hat{K}$, where $\hat{K}$ is an arbitrary pseudodifferential operator and $κ>0$, we prove the conjugacy to a suitable normal form. This is then used to construct a large number of quasimodes.

description: This paper analyses the location choices of new entrants to Auckland between 1996 and 2006, to identify a systematic relationship between residential location choices and features of local areas such as population density, the population composition of the area or its neighbourhood, accessibility to different types of amenities, paying particular attention to the influence of land prices. For the analysis, the Auckland Urban Area is divided into around 9,000 small areas (“meshblocks”). Location choices are analysed using count data methods applied to microdata from the Census of Population and Dwellings. The results emphasise the importance of own-group attraction. Groups of entrants classified by qualification, income, ethnicity, or country of birth are all attracted to meshblocks or neighbourhoods where their group already has a strong presence. The evidence demonstrates that this sorting reflects attraction to fellow group members, rather than being due to group members having common preferences for local amenities.
