description: Quantum stabilizer codes constructed from sparse matrices have good performance and can be efficiently decoded by belief propagation (BP). A conventional BP decoding algorithm treats binary stabilizer codes as additive codes over GF(4). This algorithm has a relatively complex process of handling check-node messages, which incurs higher decoding complexity. Moreover, BP decoding of a stabilizer code usually suffers a performance loss due to the many short cycles in the underlying Tanner graph. In this paper, we propose a refined BP decoding algorithm for quantum codes with complexity roughly the same as binary BP. For a given error syndrome, this algorithm decodes to the same output as the conventional quaternary BP but the passed node-to-node messages are single-valued, unlike the quaternary BP, where multivalued node-to-node messages are required. Furthermore, the techniques of message strength normalization can naturally be applied to these single-valued messages to improve the performance. Another observation is that the message-update schedule affects the performance of BP decoding against short cycles. We show that running BP with message strength normalization according to a serial schedule (or other schedules) may significantly improve the decoding performance and error floor in computer simulation.

description: A multitude of approaches and modalities are available for delivering useful information to rural communities. However, evidence regarding the information efficiency of these modalities is limited, as is evidence identifying the mechanisms of potential information loss in the agricultural extension system. In this paper, we assess information efficiency along the knowledge transmission chain from researchers to agricultural extension agents (EAs) to lead farmers (LFs) to other farmers. By asking the same set of questions about a fairly well known technology, pit planting, we construct a measure of knowledge at each node of the knowledge transmission chain. Evidence shows that the majority of information loss happens at the researcher-to-EA link and the EA-to-LF link, and that the loss is potentially caused by teaching failures or by selective attention and learning among both the EAs and the LFs concerning all important details of the technology. Results highlight the need for greater emphasis during training and learning on key dimensions of technology packages that are commonly ignored. Acknowledgement :

description: We study the exchange interactions and resulting magnetic phases in the honeycomb cobaltates. For a broad range of trigonal crystal fields acting on Co2+ ions, the low-energy pseudospin-1/2 Hamiltonian is dominated by bond-dependent Ising couplings that constitute the Kitaev model. The non-Kitaev terms nearly vanish at small values of trigonal field Δ, resulting in spin liquid ground state. Considering Na3Co2SbO6 as an example, we find that this compound is proximate to a Kitaev spin liquid phase, and can be driven into it by slightly reducing Δby \sim 20 meV, e.g., via strain or pressure control. We argue that due to the more localized nature of the magnetic electrons in 3d compounds, cobaltates offer the most promising search area for Kitaev model physics.

description: In a previous paper, published in 1992, a primal conical LP algorithm with exact finite coonvergence was presented. The underlying optimality condition requires tangency of two sets (an affine space and a cone). In the algorithm the two sets remain disjoint until the last step. This left open the possibility of developing an internal algorithm in which, by the contrary, the two sets keep intersecting each other. Such an algorithm along with a new optimality condition is presented here. It is stressed that the results given here complete the picture of the conical approach to LP in many other important respect, as illustrated in detail in the introduction.

description: Computer Vision is the ability of machines to make explicit descriptions and useful decisions from images. These decisions are usually based on the enabling artificial intelligence in the system. At the very core of artificial intelligence is machine learning – which is a superset of deep learning. Deep learning uses robust algorithms in analysing data at a deep level; as a result, it is a surging type of learning technique in Computer Vision. This work aims to review one of deep learning algorithms- Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) -that is now commonly used in computer vision and their applications in different vison involving tasks.

description: Theoretically, a pair of Majorana bound states in a topological superconductor forms a single fermionic level even at large separations, implying that the parity information is stored nonlocally. The nonlocality leads to a long-distance coherence for electrons tunneling through a Coulomb blockaded Majorana wire [Fu, Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 056402 (2010)], an effect that can be observed, e.g., in an interferometer. Here, we examine theoretically the coherent electron transfer, taking into account that tunneling implies the long-distance transfer of charge, which is carried by one-dimensional plasmons. We show that the charge dynamics does not affect the coherence of the electron tunneling process in a topological superconductor consisting of a semiconductor wire proximitized by a single bulk superconductor. The coherence may be strongly suppressed, however, if the topological superconductivity derives from a semiconductor wire proximitized by a granular superconductor.

description: We consider the disorder-induced correction to the minimal conductance of an anisotropic two-dimensional Dirac node or a three-dimensional Weyl node. An analytical expression is derived for the correction $δG$ to the conductance of a finite-size sample by an arbitrary potential, without taking the disorder average, in second-order perturbation theory. Considering a generic model of a short-range disorder potential, this result is used to compute the probability distribution $P(δG)$, which is compared to the numerically exact distribution obtained using the scattering matrix approach. We show that $P(δG)$ is Gaussian when the sample has a large width-to-length ratio, and study how the expectation value, the standard deviation, and the probability of finding $δG < 0$ depend on the anisotropy of the dispersion.

description: First opened in 2015, the AMS Nest is a student-focused hub with a dual mandate of being both fiscally responsible while meeting the needs of UBC students. The Nest currently offers a variety of activities and services for students to eat, study, and socialize. In this report, we will focus on a relatively new entrant within its food offerings – the Palate. Situated in a prime location that intersects both students in the Nest and those walking around it, the specialty sandwich store has the enormous potential to become the go-to-place for UBC students. Our analysis started with us interviewing UBC students within the Nest, and we found that student decisions on where to eat ultimately came down to three main considerations. Firstly, price has proven to be a key factor in the decision making of students – the primary target for restaurants in the AMS Nest – which has driven students to various alternatives around the Nest which deliver food at a seemingly more reasonable price point. Secondly, convenience in terms of location, space, and seating, has proven to be an important part of choosing where to purchase food – we’ve found that areas that have more space surrounding it, or space for sit-down meals, have encouraged customer visits. Lastly, variety of offered products. Currently, Palate’s offerings are less varied than that of some of their more popular competition, leading us to believe that, based on the primary research, students are driven by variety of choice as well. As part of our analysis, we recommend Palate to undertake several operational changes starting with opening up a door along its curved windows. This will allow us to expand the preparation area and let us add an additional employee during peak hour to address an existing bottleneck. We will also undertake a small but on-going marketing effort to spread awareness of the store and its price advantages. Taking into account these considerations, we believe that the proposal will generate positive income as early as 2018. The main limitation of this report is forecasting revenue and salary expectations with incomplete data, as well as relying on a small sample size for our analysis which may be incomplete or not representative of the overall student body. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: The structural transformation and corresponding labor productivity growth is one of the fundamentals of economic development. In the last 20 years the latest structural transformation has occurred in Sub-Saharan African countries. The structural transformation was, however, not always accompanied by overall labor productivity growth even with labor shift from low to high productivity sectors. This study is motivated to provide a microeconomic evidence of the effect of education on within-sector labor productivity in Uganda by jointly estimating returns to education and labor supply. To overcome double censoring problem, the combined model of Double Hurdle and Type III Tobit is constructed and applied for the estimation. Endogeneity of years of education is also tested and controlled by the IVs of primary school fee abolition policy and distance to nearest bank before implementation of the policy in born district. The results suggest an additional 1-year of schooling increases within-sector labor productivity by 0.049, 0.002, 0.128, 0.754 ($/hour) in farming self-employment, farming wage, nonfarm self-employment, nonfarm wage respectively. The joint estimation allows us to decompose the effect into the direct effect on wage, labor supply, labor composition, and the externality effect through own and other household members labor income.

description: We present an overview of BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras observations of the nine most frequent type-I X-ray bursters in the Galactic center region. Six years of observations (from 1996 to 2002) have amounted to 7 Ms of Galactic center observations and the detection of 1823 bursts. The 3 most frequent bursters are GX 354-0 (423 bursts), KS 1731-260 (339) and GS 1826-24 (260). These numbers reflect an unique dataset. We show that all sources have the same global burst behavior as a function of luminosity. At the lowest luminosities (L_X<=2E37 erg/s bursts occur quasi-periodically and the burst rate increases linearly with accretion rate (clear in e.g. GS 1826-24 and KS 1731-260). At L_pers=2E37 erg/s the burst rate drops by a factor of five. This corresponds to the transition from, on average, a hydrogen-rich to a pure helium environment in which the flashes originate that are responsible for the bursts. At higher luminosities the bursts recur irregularly; no bursts are observed at the highest luminosities. Our central finding is that most of the trends in bursting behavior are driven by the onset of stable hydrogen burning in the neutron star atmosphere. Furthermore, we notice three new observational fact which are difficult to explain with current burst theory: the presence of short pure-helium bursts at the lowest accretion regimes, the bimodal distribution of peak burst rates, and an accretion rate that is ten times higher than predicted at which the onset of stable hydrogen burning occurs. Finally, we note that our investigation is the first to signal quasi-periodic burst recurrence in KS 1731-260, and a clear proportionality between the frequency of the quasi-periodicity and the persistent flux in GS 1826-24 and KS 1731-260.

description: Myanmar s agricultural sector has unexploited potential to underpin its economic development. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of Myanmar s agricultural export sector and its performance against neighboring agricultural exporting countries using the UN Comtrade data. The key research question is to find whether Myanmar has the revealed comparative advantages of exporting the selected agricultural commodities when comparing with its major competitors in the target market. The findings are as follows: 1) Myanmar shows low product and market diversification in the agricultural export sector in the global market; 2) Myanmar enjoys comparative advantage in the agricultural export in the global market; 3) Myanmar reveals high level of NRCAs in black gram & pigeon peas, natural rubber, sesame seeds, rice, frozen fish, while has a low NRCAs in crustacean, dried fruits; and suffers a loss of NRCAs in bananas, fish fillet, maize, nuts, and watermelon in the certain years.

description: Beginning in the 1960s, agricultural economists used mathematical programming methods to examine producers responses to policy changes. Today, positive mathematical programming (PMP) employs observed average costs and crop allocations to calibrate a nonlinear cost function, thereby modifying a linear objective function to a nonlinear one to replicate observed allocations. The standard PMP approach takes into account producers risk aversion, which is not a very satisfying outcome because it intricately entangles the cost parameters and the producer s attitudes biophysical aspects of production and human behavior are intertwined so that one cannot study the impact of policy on one in the absence of the other. Several approaches that calibrate both the risk coefficient and cost function parameters have been proposed. In this paper, we discuss two methods mentioned in literature one based on constant absolute risk aversion (exponential utility function) and the other on decreasing absolute risk aversion (logarithmic utility function). We compare these methods to an approach that employs maximum entropy method. Then we use historical data from a region in Alberta s southern grain belt to compare the different outcomes to which the three approaches lead. We find that the latter approach is robust and easier to employ. Acknowledgement :

description: The transport properties of a quantum dot coupled to superconducting leads are analyzed. It is shown that the quasiparticle current in the Kondo regime is determined by the non-equilibrium dynamics of subgap states (Andreev states) under an applied voltage. The current at low bias is suppressed exponentially for decreasing Kondo temperature in agreement with recent experiments. We also predict novel interference effects due to multiple Landau-Zener transitions between Andreev states.

description: Using an experimental methodology based on investment games, this study examines whether smallholder rice farmers from Nueva Ecija, Philippines have heterogeneous preferences for improvements in ten rice varietal traits. On average, farmers invested the most in VTIs that can potentially reduce losses caused by lodging, insects, and diseases. A latent class cluster approach was employed to identify different segments of rice producing households and their distinct preferences. The identified clusters were characterised post-hoc using household and farm characteristics. We found four classes of farmers with distinct preferences for improvements in variety traits. The results also revealed that the clusters are significantly different in terms of household, farm, and marketing characteristics. The findings can guide breeding research in the development of varieties that have the traits farmers identified for improvement, and that will address distinct farmer segments and needs.

title: The Effects of Confidentiality Gender and Subject Shyness on the Social Desirability Response Bias

description: This study examined the effect of confidentiality on objective and semi-projective personality measures. Confidentiality was manipulated by telling the subject his/her responses would, or would not, be discussed with the examiner. The effect was assessed by comparing a subject s scores on two different measures of the same construct'ne test completed with confidentiality, the other without. It was hypothesized that subjects in the non-confidential condition would alter the responses on the measures and that this effect would be greatest with opposite gender pairings of subjects and examiners. The possible moderator variables of shyness, self-monitoring, and self-actualization were also examined. Data was collected from 109 subjects aged 18 to 48 using six examiners, three males and three females. The objective measures used to assess the effects of confidentiality were the NEO-Five Factor Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1985) and the Adjective Rating Scale (McCrae a Costa, 1985). The semi-projective measures used were the Maturation Scale (Archer s Pancoast, in preparation} and the Washington University Sentence Completion Test for Ego Development (Loevinger & Wessler, 1970). The analysis used separate analysis of variance procedures for each scale. The only significant effect for confidentiality was an interaction between confidentiality and self-actualization on the Neuroticism scale of the NEO-FFI/ARS. One significant effect out of the large number of analyses performed clearly supported retaining the null hypothesis. Self-report measures provide reliable measures of personality that are not affected by the conditions under which the tests are administered.

description: In this work we study the Tomita-Takesaki construction for a family of excited states that, in a strongly coupled CFT - at large $N$-, correspond to coherent states in an asymptotically AdS spacetime geometry. We compute the modular flow and modular Hamiltonian associated to these excited states in the Rindler wedge and for a ball shaped entangling surface. Using holography, one can compute the bulk modular flow and construct the Tomita-Takesaki theory for these cases. We also discuss generalizations of the entanglement regions in the bulk and how to estimate the modular Hamiltonian in a large N approximation. Finally we present a holographic formula, based on the BDHM prescription, to compute the modular evolution of operators in the corresponding CFT algebra.

Conserved gravitational charges from Yano tensors

description: The defining properties of Yano tensors naturally generalize those of Killing vectors to anti-symmetric tensor fields of arbitrary rank. We show how the Yano tensors of flat spacetime can be used to construct new, conserved gravitational charges for transverse asymptotically flat spacetimes. The relationship of these new charges to Yano tensors parallels that of ordinary ADM conserved charges to Killing vectors. Hence, we call them Y-ADM charges. A rank n Y-ADM charge is given by an integral over a co-dimension $n$ slice of spatial infinity. In particular, a rank (p+1) Y-ADM charge in a p-brane spacetime is given by an integral over only the D-(p+2) dimensional sphere surrounding the brane and may be regarded as an intensive property of the brane.

description: The INFRAFRONTIER / IMPC Stakeholder Conference 2019: Genetic Variation, Big Data and Ageing (3rd – 5th June 2019) was attended by 200 participants from more than 22 countries across Europe, East-Asia, North America and Australia, and was jointly organized with the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) in Helsinki, Finland. Biocenter Oulu from University of Oulu was the co-organiser and national local host of the event. Understanding the role of human genetic variation and its functional analysis is the next big step in genomic and precision medicine. The collection of such genomic data and its analysis falls into the category of big data sciences that has become commonplace in the present biomedical research landscape. In addition to this need, an increasing worldwide ageing population warrants the better understanding of the ageing processes and diseases associated with ageing to not only improve longevity but also to improve the quality of long life. These ideas were the basis for the INFRAFRONTIER / IMPC Conference 2019. This conference provided an excellent opportunity to support a better alignment of INFRAFRONTIER / IMPC platforms with current ageing and big data initiatives along with supporting interactions with human genetics centres and clinical consortia to promote the functional analysis of human genetic variation.

We also show that this result holds extends to $\mathcal{C}^1$ manifolds, and that in dimensions $2,3$ and 4 it also holds for $PL$ manifolds. We employ the main result to prove that given any orientable $\mathcal{C^\infty}$ Riemannian manifold with boundary admits quasimeromorphic mappings onto $\hat{\mathbb{R}^n}$. In addition some generalizations are given.

Abstract
Cemiplimab (Libtayo®) is an antibody immunotherapy that stimulates an anti-cancer response via programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) blockade. It is the first approved treatment in the USA and EU for patients with locally advanced (laCSCC) or metastatic (mCSCC) cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiotherapy. Approval was based largely on positive results from the phase II EMPOWER-CSCC 1 trial in this patient population. In this pivotal trial, treatment with intravenous cemiplimab 3 mg/kg once every 2 weeks or 350 mg once every 3 weeks resulted in a clinically significant objective response rate across laCSCC and mCSCC patient groups. Furthermore, responses appear to be durable, as the median duration of response has not yet been reached. Similarly, the median overall survival has also not yet been reached as of the latest data cut-off date. The safety and tolerability profile of cemiplimab was acceptable, with most immune-related adverse events being clinically manageable with appropriate therapy or discontinuation of cemiplimab. Overall, cemiplimab has a durable, clinically significant effect and an acceptable tolerability and safety profile. As the first approved treatment for this indication, cemiplimab represents a welcome therapeutic advance for patients with advanced CSCC.© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020

description: High-purity germanium (HPGe) crystals are required to be well-characterized before being fabricated into Ge detectors. The characterization of HPGe crystals is often performed with the Hall Effect system, which measures the carrier concentration, the Hall mobility, and the electrical resistivity. The reported values have a strong dependence on the size of the ohmic contacts and the geometry of the samples used in conducting the Hall Effect measurements. We conduct a systematic study using four samples cut from the same location in a HPGe crystal made into different sized ohmic contacts or different geometries to study the variation of the measured parameters from the Hall Effect system. The results are compared to the C-V measurements provided by the Ge detector made from the same crystal. We report the systematic errors involved with the Hall Effect system and find a reliable technique that minimizes the systematic error to be only a few percent from the Hall Effect measurements.

description: Based on an unrestricted Gutzwiller approximation (GA) we investigate the stripe orientation and periodicity in an extended one-band Hubbard model. A negative ratio between next-nearest and nearest neighbor hopping t'/t, as appropriate for cuprates, favors partially filled (metallic) stripes for both vertical and diagonal configurations. At around optimal doping diagonal stripes, site centered (SC) and bond centered (BC) vertical stripes become degenerate suggesting strong lateral and orientational fluctuations. We find that within the GA the resulting phase diagram is in agreement with experiment whereas it is not in the Hartree-Fock approximation due to a strong overestimation of the stripe filling. Results are in agreement with previous calculations within the three-band Hubbard model but with the role of SC and BC stripes interchanged.
