description: Due to their high circulating intensities, ultra-high quality factor dielectric whispering-gallery mode resonators have enabled the development of low threshold Raman microlasers. Subsequently, other Raman-related phenomena, such as cascaded stimulated Raman scattering (CSRS) and stimulated anti-Stokes Raman scattering (SARS), were observed. While low threshold frequency conversion and generation have clear applications, CSRS and SARS have been limited by the low Raman gain. In this work, the surface of a silica resonator is modified with an organic monolayer, increasing the Raman gain. Up to four orders of CSRS is observed with sub-mW input power, and the SARS efficiency is improved by three orders of magnitude compared to previous studies with hybrid resonators.

description: The institutional development of a domestic carbon trading institution in Canada that includes carbon off-sets must address the problems of providing the appropriate incentives to generate carbon reductions and removals and the problem of non-permanency of sequestered carbon. The paper analyzes two rule sets to address these problems and estimates the economic impact of these sets.

description: Rotating star clusters near supermassive black holes are studied using Touma-Tremaine thermodynamics of gravitationally interacting orbital ellipses. A simple numerical procedure for calculating thermodynamic equilibrium states for an arbitrary distribution of stars over masses and semimajor axes is described. Spontaneous symmetry breaking and breakdown of thermodynamics at low positive temperatures are rigorously proven for non-rotating clusters. Rotation is introduced through a second temperature-like parameter. Both axially symmetric and lopsided rotational equilibria are found; the lopsided equilibria precess with the angular velocity that is given by the ratio of the two temperatures. Eccentric stellar disc in the nucleus of Andromeda galaxy may be an example of a lopsided thermodynamic equilibrium of a rotating black hole star cluster. Stellar-mass black holes occupy highly eccentric orbits in broken-symmetry star clusters, and form flattened disc-like configurations in rotating star clusters. They are attracted to orbits that are stationary in the frame of reference rotating with the angular velocity of the cluster. In spherical clusters, stellar-mass black holes' orbits are significantly more eccentric than those of the lighter stars if the temperature is negative, and more circular if the temperature is positive. Finally we note that planets, comets, dark matter particles and other light bodies tend to form a spherically symmetric non-rotating sub-cluster with maximum-entropy eccentricity distribution $\mathscr{P}(e)=2e$, even if their host cluster is rotating and lopsided.

R-symmetry in the Q-exact (2,2) 2d lattice Wess-Zumino model

description: In this article we explore the R-symmetry of the (2,2) 2d Wess-Zumino model. We study whether or not this symmetry is approximately realized in the Q-exact lattice version of this theory. Our study is nonperturbative: it relies on Monte Carlo simulations with dynamical fermions. Irrelevant operators in the lattice action explicitly break the R-symmetry. In spite of this, it is found to be a symmetry of the effective potential. We find nonperturbative evidence that the nonrenormalization theorem of the continuum theory is recovered in the continuum limit; e.g., there is no additive mass renormalization. In our simulations we find that Fourier acceleration of the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm allows us to avoid difficulties with critical slowing-down.

description: Large-scale Fourier modes of the cosmic density field are of great value for learning about cosmology because of their well-understood relationship to fluctuations in the early universe. However, cosmic variance generally limits the statistical precision that can be achieved when constraining model parameters using these modes as measured in galaxy surveys, and moreover, these modes are sometimes inaccessible due to observational systematics or foregrounds. For some applications, both limitations can be circumvented by reconstructing large-scale modes using the correlations they induce between smaller-scale modes of an observed tracer (such as galaxy positions). In this paper, we further develop a formalism for this reconstruction, using a quadratic estimator similar to the one used for lensing of the cosmic microwave background. We incorporate nonlinearities from gravity, nonlinear biasing, and local-type primordial non-Gaussianity, and verify that the estimator gives the expected results when applied to N-body simulations. We then carry out forecasts for several upcoming surveys, demonstrating that, when reconstructed modes are included alongside directly-observed tracer density modes, constraints on local primordial non-Gaussianity are generically tightened by tens of percents compared to standard single-tracer analyses. In certain cases, these improvements arise from cosmic variance cancellation, with reconstructed modes taking the place of modes of a separate tracer, thus enabling an effective "multitracer" approach with single-tracer observations.

description: Individual transferable quotas system is widely regarded as the best fishery management regime. The literature, however, has ignored the consequence of this managerial system under the existence of market imperfection. This article analyzes the behavior of fishing households based on the household model when individual transferable quota system is introduced under missing labor market. It is shown that the individual transferable quotas system could adversely redistribute the quotas through quotas trade and thus cause social inefficiency.

description: We report the Chandra detection of OVII Kαabsorption at z=0 in the direction of the z=0.03 Seyfert 1 galaxy Mkn 279. The high velocity cloud Complex C lies along this line of sight, with HI 21-cm emission and OVI 1032Åabsorption both observed at velocities of ~ -150 km/s relative to the local standard of rest. We present an improved method for placing limits on the Doppler parameter and column density of a medium when only one unresolved line can be measured; this method is applied to the OVII absorption seen here, indicating that the OVII Doppler parameter is inconsistent with that of any low-velocity (Galactic thick disk) or high-velocity OVI (OVI_HV) component. Direct association of the OVII with the OVI_HV is further ruled out by the high temperatures required to produce the observed OVI_HV/OVII ratio and the significant velocity difference between the OVII and OVI_HV lines. If the OVII absorption is associated with a very broad, undetected OVI component, then the absorption must be broadened by primarily nonthermal processes. The large velocity dispersion and possible slight redshift of the OVII absorption (as well as limits on the absorber's temperature and density) may be indicative of a local intergalactic medium origin, though absorption from a hot, low-density Galactic corona cannot be ruled out.

description: We investigate the possibility of a supernova in supermassive ($5 \times 10^4 \;M_\odot$) population III stars induced by a general relativistic instability occurring in the helium burning phase. This explosion could occur via rapid helium burning during an early contraction of the isentropic core. Such an explosion would be visible to future telescopes and could disrupt the proposed direct collapse formation channel for early universe supermassive black holes. We simulate first the stellar evolution from hydrogen burning using a 1D stellar evolution code with a post Newtonian approximation; at the point of dynamical collapse, we switch to a 1D (general relativistic) hydrodynamics code with the Misner-Sharpe metric. In opposition to a previous study, we do not find an explosion in the non rotating case, although our model is close to exploding for a similar mass to the explosion in the previous study. When we include slow rotation, we find one exploding model, and we conclude that there likely exist additional exploding models, though they may be rare.

description: The PHENIX experiment at RHIC measured the omega-meson production in the range of pT from 2.5 GeV/c to 9.5 GeV/c in p+p and d+Au collision systems at sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV. We present the consistent results of two independent measurements in decay channels omega-->pi^{0}pi^{+}pi^{-}$ and omega-->pi^{0}gamma. The omega/pi^{0} ratio was found to be 0.90+/-0.06. The Nuclear Modification Factor R_{dA} is 1.3+/-0.2 both in the Minimum Biased and (0%-20%) central event samples. The mass of the omega-meson was measured to be consistent with the PDG value within the errors of the measurement. We also measured the K_{S}^{0}-meson production in K_{S}^{0}-->pi^{0}pi^{0} in the same collision systems.

Determinants of dust exposure in sawmills : a comparison of fixed-effects and mixed-effects predictive statistical models
Creators: name: Friesen, Melissa Charmaine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Personal dust measurements (n=1516) collected over the period 1981-1997 for both research and compliance purposes were used to construct two statistical models to predict historical dust exposures for a cohort of 14 B.C. sawmills and 28,000 workers. Two multiple linear regression models were built: (1) a fixed-effects model, with potential exposure determinants designated as fixed effects; and (2) a mixed-effects model, with job title designated as a random effect and all other variables as fixed effects. The two predictive models were validated against personal dust exposures (n=213) from a large interior mill that was not part of the sawmill cohort. The two models explained 36% of the dataset's variability. The predicted values were strongly correlated with observed values for both models (fixed-effects model: Pearson r=0.617; mixedeffects model: Pearson r = 0.619). The fixed-effects model predicted 56 of 58 jobs within ± 0.2 mg/m3 of the job geometric means. The mixed-effects model predicted 54 jobs within ± 0.2 mg/m . Multiple linear regressions revealed that the most important determinants of wood dust exposure were process group, coastal mill location(-), number of employees(+), and annual production levels per sawmill size(-). The two models underestimated the validation mill's geometric mean exposure level by 0.5 mg/m³ . On average, outdoor jobs were underestimated by 0.8 mg/m³ and indoor jobs by 0.3 mg/m³ . Precisions within the datasets were poor, with GSD's of bias of 2.36 for both models in the modeling dataset and 2.50 and 2.45 for the fixed-effects and mixed-effects models, respectively, in the validation dataset. The predicted values from the two models were nearly perfectly correlated for both the model building dataset (Pearson r=0.975) and the validation dataset (Pearson r=0.985). The mixed-effects model provided no improvement in predictive ability over the fixed-effects model. Several jobs in the validation mill were predicted within the range of normal day-to-day variability, but a few jobs were significantly underestimated, suggesting that the models are only generalizable to mills of similar size, level of technology, and building/yard conditions.

description: We explore the distribution of position angles (PA) of galaxies in clusters. We selected for study the isolated clusters, since the distribution of the galaxy orientation in clusters with close neighbors could be altered by gravitational influence of the latter. We assume that galaxies are aligned, if their number at one $90^o$ position angle interval is more than twice higher than at the other $90^o$ interval. We study the galaxy PA distribution at the outer regions of clusters with smaller space density, where the probability of the PA variation in the result of interactions between galaxies is smaller than at the dense central regions. We found that the alignment of galaxies is more often observed in poor clusters and concluded that originally galaxies were aligned, but in the result of accretion in time of field galaxies with arbitrary orientations and also due to the mutual interactions the relative number of aligned galaxies decreases.

description: Geological parameterization enables the representation of geomodels in terms of a relatively small set of variables. Parameterization is therefore very useful in the context of data assimilation and uncertainty quantification. In this study, a deep-learning-based geological parameterization algorithm, CNN-PCA, is developed for complex 3D geomodels. CNN-PCA entails the use of convolutional neural networks as a post-processor for the low-dimensional principal component analysis representation of a geomodel. The 3D treatments presented here differ somewhat from those used in the 2D CNN-PCA procedure. Specifically, we introduce a new supervised-learning-based reconstruction loss, which is used in combination with style loss and hard data loss. The style loss uses features extracted from a 3D CNN pretrained for video classification. The 3D CNN-PCA algorithm is applied for the generation of conditional 3D realizations, defined on $60\times60\times40$ grids, for three geological scenarios (binary and bimodal channelized systems, and a three-facies channel-levee-mud system). CNN-PCA realizations are shown to exhibit geological features that are visually consistent with reference models generated using object-based methods. Statistics of flow responses ($\text{P}_{10}$, $\text{P}_{50}$, $\text{P}_{90}$ percentile results) for test sets of 3D CNN-PCA models are shown to be in consistent agreement with those from reference geomodels. Lastly, CNN-PCA is successfully applied for history matching with ESMDA for the bimodal channelized system.

description: We discuss the possibility of a quantum phase transition in ultra-cold spin-polarized Fermi gases which exhibit a p-wave Feshbach resonance. We show that when fermionic atoms form a condensate that can be externally tuned between the BCS and BEC limits, the zero temperature compressibility and the spin susceptibility of the fermionic gas are non-analytic functions of the two-body bound state energy. This non-analyticity is due to a massive rearrangement of the momentum distribution in the ground state of the system. Furthermore, we show that the low temperature superfluid density is also non-analytic, and exhibits a dramatic change in behavior when the critical value of the bound state energy is crossed.

description: This paper analyzes the rice production technology in Korea in the context of multi-output framework. The estimation uses a set of national farm-level panel data within the primal approach. The particular focus of the study is to analyze the existence of heterogeneous technologies for different farm sizes, and the possibility of output substitution. Unlike many previous studies, we employ a farm-specific fixed effects model, which accounts for the effects of individual specific characteristics or constraints on production. Our results suggest that considerable differences in technology exist across various farm sizes. Interestingly, input substitution and output substitution possibilities are more limited for smaller farms. However, in general, output substitution possibilities are very limited across all farm sizes.

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been employed in the medical field for diagnosing multiple diseases. Additionally, the use of AI has had a significant impact in pediatrics by identifying sepsis subtypes, diagnosing pulmonary hypertension and neonatal jaundice, and detecting brain changes in neuroimaging. On the other hand, breastfeeding rates are low, increasing the risk of illness and death in children. The use of AI could contribute to improving health indicators and enhancing knowledge of human milk.
This study aims, through a scoping review, to identify and synthesize the currently available information on the application of artificial intelligence in the analysis of human milk and breastfeeding.

Nonlinear trident in the high-energy limit: Nonlocality, Coulomb field and resummations

description: We study nonlinear trident in laser pulses in the high-energy limit, where the initial electron experiences, in its rest frame, an electromagnetic field strength above Schwinger's critical field. At lower energies the dominant contribution comes from the "two-step" part, but in the high-energy limit the dominant contribution comes instead from the one-step term. We obtain new approximations that explain the relation between the high-energy limit of trident and pair production by a Coulomb field, as well as the role of the Weizsäcker-Williams approximation and why it does not agree with the high-$χ$ limit of the locally-constant-field approximation. We also show that the next-to-leading order in the large-$a_0$ expansion is, in the high-energy limit, nonlocal and is numerically very important even for quite large $a_0$. We show that the small-$a_0$ perturbation series has a finite radius of convergence, but using Padé-conformal methods we obtain resummations that go beyond the radius of convergence and have a large numerical overlap with the large-$a_0$ approximation. We use Borel-Padé-conformal methods to resum the small-$χ$ expansion and obtain a high precision up to very large $χ$. We also use newer resummation methods based on hypergeometric/Meijer-G and confluent hypergeometric functions.

Finite-size eff ects are elucidated for the charge fluctuations in various subdomains that serve to evaluate $ξ_{\text{L}}$. On extrapolation to the bulk limit for $T\gtrsim 10T_c$ the low-density expansions (Bekiranov and Fisher, 1998) are seen to fail badly when $ρ> {1/10}ρ_c$ (with $ρ_c a^3 \simeq 0.08$). At highe r densities $ξ_{\text{L}}$ rises above the Debye length, $ξ_{\text{D}} \prop to \sqrt{T/ρ}$, by 10-30% (upto $ρ\simeq 1.3ρ_c$); the variation is portrayed fairly well by generalized Debye-Hückel theory (Lee and Fisher, 19 96). On approaching criticality at fixed $ρ$ or fixed $T$, $ξ_{\text{L}}(T, ρ)$ remains finite with $ξ_{\text{L}}^c \simeq 0.30 a \simeq 1.3 ξ_{\text {D}}^c$ but displays a weak entropy-like singularity.

description: Vehicle detection in remote sensing images has attracted increasing interest in recent years. However, its detection ability is limited due to lack of well-annotated samples, especially in densely crowded scenes. Furthermore, since a list of remotely sensed data sources is available, efficient exploitation of useful information from multi-source data for better vehicle detection is challenging. To solve the above issues, a multi-source active fine-tuning vehicle detection (Ms-AFt) framework is proposed, which integrates transfer learning, segmentation, and active classification into a unified framework for auto-labeling and detection. The proposed Ms-AFt employs a fine-tuning network to firstly generate a vehicle training set from an unlabeled dataset. To cope with the diversity of vehicle categories, a multi-source based segmentation branch is then designed to construct additional candidate object sets. The separation of high quality vehicles is realized by a designed attentive classifications network. Finally, all three branches are combined to achieve vehicle detection. Extensive experimental results conducted on two open ISPRS benchmark datasets, namely the Vaihingen village and Potsdam city datasets, demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed Ms-AFt for vehicle detection. In addition, the generalization ability of Ms-AFt in dense remote sensing scenes is further verified on stereo aerial imagery of a large camping site.

description: An empirical methodology is developed for statistically testing the hedging effectiveness among competing futures contracts. The presented methodology is based on the encompassing principle, widely used in the forecasting literature, and applied here to minimum variance hedging regressions. Intuitively, the test is based on an alternative futures contract's ability to reduce residual basis risk by offering either diversification or a smaller absolute level of basis risk than a preferred futures contract. The methodology is also easily extended to cases involving multiple hedging instruments and general hedge ratio models. The methodology is demonstrated by evaluating the hedging effectiveness of Chicago Board of Trade's (CBOT) corn futures versus the Minneapolis Grain Exchange's National Corn Index (NCI) futures. The results indicate that the NCI futures encompass the CBOT futures for hedging country-level corn price risk in North Central Iowa; but, the NCI and CBOT futures are complementary in hedging terminal-level corn price risk at the U.S. Gulf.

description: We study the problem of sequential task assignment and collision-free routing for large teams of robots in applications with inter-task precedence constraints (e.g., task $A$ and task $B$ must both be completed before task $C$ may begin). Such problems commonly occur in assembly planning for robotic manufacturing applications, in which sub-assemblies must be completed before they can be combined to form the final product. We propose a hierarchical algorithm for computing makespan-optimal solutions to the problem. The algorithm is evaluated on a set of randomly generated problem instances where robots must transport objects between stations in a "factory "grid world environment. In addition, we demonstrate in high-fidelity simulation that the output of our algorithm can be used to generate collision-free trajectories for non-holonomic differential-drive robots.

description: In these lectures I make an introduction to chiral unitary theory applied to the meson baryon interaction and show how several well known resonances are dynamically generated, and others are predicted. Two very recent experiments are analyzed, one of them showing the existence of two $Λ(1405)$ states and the other one providing support for the $Λ(1520)$ resonance as a quasibound state of $Σ(1385) π$. The use of chiral Lagrangians to account for the hadronic interaction at the elementary level introduces a new approach to deal with the modification of meson and baryon properties in a nuclear medium. Examples of it for $\bar{K}$, $η$ and $ϕ$ modification in the nuclear medium are presented.

Anime in the North American context : (post)modern cultural transmission, content, and meanings
Creators: name: Thomas, Darren
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Anime (Japanese Animation) is an example of transmission of a postmodern popular culture artefact. As such, it is subject to a number of influences that shape what is transmitted, how it is transmitted, and to whom it is transmitted. These influences are both specific to anime and the result of more general cultural trends and preferences. By developing a system of ideal types based on the characteristics of anime transmission, it becomes possible to examine the phenomenon of transmission in some detail. Through analysis of anime titles, anime fan websites and magazines, and interviews, transmission and reception can be gauged. This in-depth examination of the contents and themes of anime provides insight into the needs and desires of the North American audiences for anime. By examining the imagery and narratives that have developed around gender, technology, and other thematic and cultural indicators, the audience's preferences may become understandable. By understanding the role that anime plays for these audiences, it is possible to identify the rationales that drive this form of cultural transmission. Once this is done, it is possible to extrapolate from anime to other cultural artefacts in order to gain a better understanding of postmodern cultural transmission in general.

description: We have calculated the dispersion curves of H vibrational modes on Pt(111), using first-principles, total energy calculations based on a mixed-basis set and norm-conserving pseudopotentials. Linear response theory and the harmonic approximation are invoked. For 1 ML coverage, H atoms are assumed to occupy the fcc hollow sites. At the Gamma point of the surface Brillouin zone, we find modes, respectively, polarized parallel and perpendicular to the surface at 73.5 meV and 142.6 meV. The degeneracy of the parallel mode is lifted at the zone boundaries, yielding modes at 69.6 meV and 86.3 meV, at the M point, and at 79.4 meV and 80.8 meV, at the K point. The substrate surface modes are also found to shift in frequencies from their calculated values for clean Pt(111). We discuss the details of the changes in surface force constant on H adsorption on Pt(111). We also consider the case of subsurface adsorption for 2 ML of H and present vibrational frequencies of H atoms adsorbed in several subsurface sites. The appearance of new vertically polarized modes in the range of 98 . 106 meV (octahedral site) and 124 . 162 meV (tetrahedral site) is discussed in the context of experimental data.

description: Using a monthly data covering from 1974:1 to 2002:12, this paper explores the linkage between changes in macroeconomic variables (real exchange rate and inflation rate) and changes in relative agricultural prices in different time horizons (1, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months). Controlling for factors likely to determine the long run trend of relative agricultural prices, the results show that long-term changes in real exchange rate has had a significant negative correlation with the long-term changes in relative agricultural prices. Conversely, changes of the general price have a role in explaining short-term changes in relative agricultural price at best.

description: We study the possibility of having a static, asymptotically AdS black hole localized on a braneworld with matter fields, within the framework of the Randall and Sundrum scenario. We attempt to look for such a brane black hole configuration by slicing a given bulk spacetime and taking Z_2 symmetry about the slices. We find that such configurations are possible, and as an explicit example, we provide a family of asymptotically AdS brane black hole solutions for which both the bulk and brane metrics are regular on and outside the black hole horizon and brane matter fields are realistic in the sense that the dominant energy condition is satisfied. We also find that our braneworld models exhibit signature change inside the black hole horizon.

description: Online lexicons such as Wikipedia rely on incremental edits that change text strings marginally. To support text versioning inside of the Umbra database system, this study presents the implementation of a dedicated data type. This versioning data type is designed for maximal throughput as it stores the latest string as a whole and computes previous ones using backward diffs. Using this data type for Wikipedia articles, we achieve a compression rate of up to 5% and outperform the traditional text data type, when storing each version as one tuple individually, by an order of magnitude.
Estimating Dark Matter Distributions

description: Thanks to instrumental advances, new, very large kinematic datasets for nearby dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are on the horizon. A key aim of these datasets is to help determine the distribution of dark matter in these galaxies. Past analyses have generally relied on specific dynamical models or highly restrictive dynamical assumptions. We describe a new, non-parametric analysis of the kinematics of nearby dSph galaxies designed to take full advantage of the future large datasets. The method takes as input the projected positions and radial velocities of stars known to be members of the galaxies, but does not use any parametric dynamical model, nor the assumption that the mass distribution follows that of the visible matter. The problem of estimating the radial mass distribution, M(r) (the mass interior to true radius r), is converted into a problem of estimating a regression function non-parametrically. From the Jeans Equation we show that the unknown regression function is subject to fundamental shape restrictions which we exploit in our analysis using statistical techniques borrowed from isotonic estimation and spline smoothing. Simulations indicate that M(r) can be estimated to within a factor of two or better with samples as small as 1000 stars over almost the entire radial range sampled by the kinematic data. The technique is applied to a sample of 181 stars in the Fornax dSph galaxy. We show that the galaxy contains a significant, extended dark halo some ten times more massive than its baryonic component. Though applied here to dSph kinematics, this approach can be used in the analysis of any kinematically hot stellar system in which the radial velocity field is discretely sampled.

122. The cosmic distance ladder

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: I give a big picture of where we are in establishing the cosmic distance scale, noting the `tension' that exists between the `early' and `late Universe' estimates of the Hubble constant. This, in turn, seems to imply that there is a problem with the late Universe distance `ladder'. I point to the areas where we are expecting Gaia to contribute in the future.
