description: We measured the single-photon detection efficiency of NbN superconducting single photon detectors as a function of the polarization state of the incident light for different wavelengths in the range from 488 nm to 1550 nm. The polarization contrast varies from ~5% at 488 nm to ~30% at 1550 nm, in good agreement with numerical calculations. We use an optical-impedance model to describe the absorption for polarization parallel to the wires of the detector. For lossy NbN films, the absorption can be kept constant by keeping the product of layer thickness and filling factor constant. As a consequence, we find that the maximum possible absorption is independent of filling factor. By illuminating the detector through the substrate, an absorption efficiency of ~70% can be reached for a detector on Si or GaAs, without the need for an optical cavity.

Analysis of factors affecting the demand for housing in British Columbia
Creators: name: Horwood, Peter J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The main justification for selecting this topic is the general lack of understanding surrounding the basic operation of the housing market and the subsequent errors which arise from this basic ignorance. Private discussion, public opinion and even government policy have displayed an unnerving inability to separate symptom from cause, promoting misdirected effort and in some cases initiating action which compounds the perceived problem. Following the premise that an understanding of the fundamentals is essential to the solution of any problem, this thesis helps to elucidate the operation of the housing supply-demand relationship by analyzing the effect of the four major components of housing demand: demographic forces; income; price; and credit conditions. To give relevance and strength to the theoretical analysis, current data pertaining to the effect of these components, in a British Columbia context, is supplied wherever possible. Finally, this thesis provides an exploration of the related policy implications. The majority of the data used in this thesis was obtained from a survey of housing consumers in British Columbia, administered jointly with the Interdepartmental Study Team on Housing and Rents of the Government of British Columbia. The survey collected results from 1769 interviews conducted in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, the Prince George Census Agglomeration and the City of Cranbrook in July 1975.

Power Transfer between Two Antenna Arrays in the Near Field

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Signal Processing (eess.SP)

description: We present numerical results with a focus on power transfer between two standard linear antenna arrays placed in the near field, where a much smaller active multi-antenna feeder (AMAF) space feeds a far larger passive array referred to as a reflective intelligent surface (RIS). The interest is in the regime of focal length to diameter ratio ($F/D$) less than unity. We address the question of center feed vs. end feed for array fed array antenna architectures and present the following novel findings and contributions: 1. In the regime of $F/D$ ratio less than one, the AMAF-RIS power transfer deviates from the classical inverse square law. Furthermore, the behavior of the power transmission coefficient is more sensitive to the $F/D$ ratio than to a particular RIS size. 2. For an end feed, non-eigenmodes provide better beam shapes than the eigenmodes, which are still inferior to beam shapes from the center feed eigenmodes. 3. The center feed provides more power gain than an end feed. This clearly illustrates that the center feed configuration should be used for array fed arrays, in contrast to the classical parabolic geometry.

Understanding muon diffusion in perovskite oxides below room temperature based on harmonic transition state theory

description: In positive muon spin rotation and relaxation ($μ^+$SR) spectroscopy, positive muons ($μ^+$) implanted into solid oxides are conventionally treated as immobile spin-probes at interstitial sites below room temperature. This is because each $μ^+$ is thought to be tightly bound to an oxygen atom in the host lattice to form a muonic analogue of the hydroxy group. On the basis of this concept, anomalies in $μ^+$SR spectra observed in oxides have been attributed in most cases to the intrinsic properties of host materials. On the other hand, global $μ^+$ diffusion with an activation energy of $\sim$0.1~eV has been reported in some chemically-substituted perovskite oxides at cryogenic temperatures, although the reason for the small activation energy despite the formation of the strong O$μ$ bond has not yet been quantitatively understood. In this study, we investigated interstitial $μ^+$ diffusion in the perovskite oxide lattice using KTaO$_3$ cubic perovskite as a model system. We used the $μ^+$SR method and density functional theory calculations along with the harmonic transition state theory to study this phenomenon both experimentally and theoretically. Experimental activation energies for global $μ^+$ diffusion obtained below room temperature were less than a quarter of the calculated classical potential barrier height for a bottleneck $μ^+$ transfer path. The reduction in the effective barrier height could be explained by the harmonic transition state theory with a zero-point energy correction; a significant difference in zero-point energies for $μ^+$ at the positions in the O$μ$ bonding equilibrium state and a bond-breaking transition state was the primary cause of the reduction. This suggests that the assumption of immobile $μ^+$ in solid oxides is not always satisfied since such a significant decrease in diffusion barrier height can also occur in other oxides.

Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem in Nonequilibrium Steady States

description: In equilibrium, the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) expresses the response of an observable to a small perturbation by a correlation function of this variable with another one that is conjugate to the perturbation with respect to \emph{energy}. For a nonequilibrium steady state (NESS), the corresponding FDT is shown to involve in the correlation function a variable that is conjugate with respect to \emph{entropy}. By splitting up entropy production into one of the system and one of the medium, it is shown that for systems with a genuine equilibrium state the FDT of the NESS differs from its equilibrium form by an additive term involving \emph{total} entropy production. A related variant of the FDT not requiring explicit knowledge of the stationary state is particularly useful for coupled Langevin systems. The \emph{a priori} surprising freedom apparently involved in different forms of the FDT in a NESS is clarified.

All simulations were performed on the supercomputer HLRB II at the Leibniz Rechenzentrum in Munich. Specifically we have analyzed the pressure induced metal-insulator transitions in Fe2O3 and NiS2, the charge susceptibility of the fluctuating-valence elemental metal Yb, and the spectral properties of a covalent band-insulator model which includes local electronic correlations.

Evolution of dust grain size distribution and grain porosity in galaxies

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: The radiative properties of interstellar dust are affected not only by the grain size distribution but also by the grain porosity. We develop a model for the evolution of size-dependent grain porosity and grain size distribution over the entire history of galaxy evolution. We include stellar dust production, supernova dust destruction, shattering, coagulation, and accretion. Coagulation is {assumed to be} the source of grain porosity. We use a one-zone model with a constant dense gas fraction ($η_\mathrm{dense}$), which regulates the balance between shattering and coagulation. We find that porosity develops after small grains are sufficiently created by the interplay between shattering and accretion (at age $t\sim 1$ Gyr for star formation time-scale $τ_\mathrm{SF}=5$ Gyr) and are coagulated. The filling factor drops down to 0.3 at grain radii $\sim 0.03~μ$m for $η_\mathrm{dense}=0.5$. The grains are more porous for smaller $η_\mathrm{dense}$ because small grains, from which porous coagulated grains form, are more abundant. We also calculate the extinction curves based on the above results. The porosity steepens the extinction curve significantly for silicate, but not much for amorphous carbon. The porosity also increases the collisional cross-sections and produces slightly more large grains through the enhanced coagulation; however, the extinction curve does not necessarily become flatter because of the steepening effect by porosity. We also discuss the implication of our results for the Milky Way extinction curve.

description: We construct the general renormalizable actions for the scalar field and the gauge field at a Lifshitz point characterized by the dynamical critical exponent $z$. The Lorentz invariance is broken down in the UV region, but is recovered in the IR limit. Even though the theories are UV complete, the speed of light is related to the momentum by $z(k/M)^{z-1}$ which can go to infinity in the UV limit for $z\geq 2$. Since the Lorentz invariance is broken down, the dispersion relation is modified and the time delays in Gamma-Ray bursts can be easily explained. In addition, we also discuss the thermal dynamics and the size of causal patch in a FRW universe for the field theory at a Lifshitz point.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the economic feasibility of the financing, controlling and administering of the vending services on the University of British Columbia campus by the University Food Services Department. To do this, sales are projected for a period of five years (a year being an academic term from September 1st to August 31st), based on data collected on past vending sales and based on the projection of student enrollment made by the U.B.C. Department of Academic Planning. Sales were estimated in physical units to minimize the effect of inflation and price increases. Two estimates were made (a high and a low estimate) based on the Department of Academic Planning's high and low estimates of student enrollment. Only major vending products were considered - cigarettes, cold drinks, hot drinks and candy because they make up more than 99% of the total vending sales. Cost of goods sold, cash receipts, operating expenses and net profits are also projected on the same basis. After determining the capital outlay of the investment, the cash flows for the five year period (from September 1975 to August 1980) are determined and then discounted to present values using two discount rates - 10% and 10%%. These discounted incomes generated by the investment are then compared to discounted incomes generated by the continuation of the present system - that of receiving commissions from an outside vending firm. On a short term basis (that of five years), it is obvious that it is more profitable for the U.B.C. Food Services Department to stay with the present system. On a long term basis (over five years), this department would generate more income and retain greater control by administering the operation.

description: We discuss short-baseline and very-short-baseline electron neutrino disappearance at a neutrino factory. We take into account geometric effects, such as from averaging over the decay straights, and the uncertainties of the cross sections. We follow an approach similar to reactor experiments with two detectors: we use two sets of near detectors at different distances to cancel systematics. We demonstrate that such a setup is very robust with respect to systematics, and can have excellent sensitivities to the effective mixing angle and squared-mass splitting. In addition, we allow for CPT invariance violation, which can be tested (depending on the parameters) up to a 0.1% level.

description: Perturbative calculations predict that the Standard Model (SM) effective potential should have a new minimum, well beyond the Planck scale, much deeper than the electroweak vacuum. As it is not obvious that gravitational effects can get so strong to stabilize the potential, most authors have accepted the metastability scenario in a cosmological perspective. This perspective is needed to explain why the theory remains trapped into our electroweak vacuum, but requires to control the properties of matter in the extreme conditions of the early universe. Alternatively, one can consider the completely different idea of a non-perturbative effective potential which, as at the beginning of the SM, is restricted to the pure $Φ^4$ sector yet consistent with the now existing analytical and numerical studies. In this approach, where the electroweak vacuum is the lowest-energy state, besides the resonance of mass $m_h=125$ GeV defined by the quadratic shape of the potential at its minimum, the Higgs field should exhibit a second resonance with mass $690\pm10({\rm stat})\pm20({\rm sys})$ GeV associated with the zero-point energy determining the potential depth. Despite its large mass, this would couple to longitudinal $W$s with the same typical strength as the low-mass state at 125 GeV and represent a relatively narrow resonance of width $Γ_H=30÷38$ GeV, mainly produced at LHC by gluon-gluon fusion. So it is interesting that, in the LHC data, one can find various indications for a new resonance in the expected mass range with a non-negligible statistical significance. As this could become an important new discovery by just adding two missing samples of RUN2 data, we outline further refinements of the theoretical predictions that could be obtained by implementing unitarity constraints, in the presence of fermion and gauge fields, with coupled-channel calculations used for meson spectroscopy.

description: On the basis of a supersymmetric yukawaon model, Sumino's relation for charged lepton masses is re-derived. A relation between values of $K(μ) \equiv (m_e +m_μ+ m_τ)/(\sqrt{m_e} + \sqrt{m_μ} + \sqrt{m_τ})^2$ and $κ(μ) \equiv \sqrt{m_e m_μm_τ}/ (\sqrt{m_e} + \sqrt{m_μ}+ \sqrt{m_τ})^3$ is investigated without using a relation $K=2/3$. Predicted value of $κ(μ)$ is compared with the observed value of $κ(μ)$, and it is concluded that the value $ξ(μ)\equiv (3/2)K(μ) -1$ is of the order of $10^{-3}$ or less.

description: Die vorliegende Studie stellt eine Laboruntersuchung an acht Versuchspersonen dar, die mit Hilfe einer Postkorbübung drei unterschiedlichen Belastungsstufen aufgrund von steigender Informationsmenge ausgesetzt werden. Es wird untersucht, ob Informationsmenge ein psychischer Belastungsfaktor ist und wann/ob dieser zu einer Fehlbelastung führen kann. Erhoben werden die Kopf- und Gesichtsbewegungen, die in vorherigen Studien als Indikatoren für Fehlbelastung identifiziert wurden, sowie die Anzahl korrekter Antworten. Die Daten werden mittels Korrelations‑, Regressions- und Varianzanalysen ausgewertet. Es zeigen sich signifikante Zusammenhänge zwischen Informationsmenge und richtigen Antworten (τb = −0,43, p = 0.013), Informationsmenge und Kopf‑/Gesichtsbewegungen (τb = 0,43, p = 0.009) sowie richtigen Antworten und Kopf‑/Gesichtsbewegungen (τb = −0,29, p = 0.050). Das Ergebnis der linearen Regression ist signifikant, weil F (1,9998) = 1,577e + 04 und p < 0.001 ist bei R² = 0,612. Somit ist Informationsmenge ein signifikanter Prädiktor für Kopf‑/Gesichtsbewegungen. Auch die zweite Regressionsanalyse ist signifikant mit F (1,9998) = 1,261e + 04 und p < 0.001 bei R² = 0,5577. Somit ist Informationsmenge ein signifikanter Prädiktor für richtige Antworten. Die Ergebnisse der ANOVA zeigen, dass sich Kopf‑/Gesichtsbewegungen signifikant für die verschiedenen Belastungsstufen (p = 0.02) und ebenfalls die Anzahl der richtigen Antworten (p = 0.03) unterscheiden. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass Informationsmenge ein psychischer Belastungsfaktor ist und dass innerhalb der zweiten Belastungsstufe (mittlere Informationsmenge) eine Grenze der menschlichen Informationsverarbeitung liegt.
 
Praktische Relevanz: Die Studie bereitet erste Erkenntnisse zur Festlegung von Grenzwerten für Informationsmenge auf und gibt Tipps speziell für den Versand von E‑Mails sowie zu Arbeitsunterbrechungen für die berufliche Praxis.

This change of the Nationality Code in order to include all those children was coincided by the economic crisis resulting into the rise of xenophobia, racism and extreme-right rhetoric.  The outcome was the cancellation of the Act 3838 by the State Council in February 2013. 
   Under this particular framework, the notions of identity and belonging formed among the youth of African background in Athens are explored.  The ways those youngsters perceive not only themselves but also their peers, their countries of origin and the country they live in, are crucial elements of their self-identification. Researches have shown that the integration of the second generation is highly connected to their legal and social status. However, integration is a rather complex process, influenced and shaped by many variables and multiple factors.  It is not linear; therefore, its outcomes are difficult to be predicted.  Yet, I argue that citizenship acquisition facilitates the process as it transforms those children from ‘aliens’ to ‘citizens’.
   How these youngsters are perceived by the majority society and the State is one of the core questions of the research, focusing on the imposed dual ‘otherness’ they are subject to.  On the one hand, they have to deal with the ‘otherness’ originating from the migrant status inherited to them by their parents, and on the other with the ‘otherness’ deriving from their different phenotypic characteristics.  Race matters and becomes a means of discrimination against youth of African background who are perceived as inassimilable and ‘forever others’.

description: This letter summarizes and proves the concept of bounded-input bounded-state (BIBS) stability for weight convergence of a broad family of in-parameter-linear nonlinear neural architectures as it generally applies to a broad family of incremental gradient learning algorithms. A practical BIBS convergence condition results from the derived proofs for every individual learning point or batches for real-time applications.

description: Twisted bilayer graphene near the magic angle is known to have a cascade of insulating phases at integer filling factors of the low-energy bands. In this Letter we address the nature of these phases through an unrestricted, large-scale Hartree-Fock calculation on the lattice that self-consistently accounts for all electronic bands. Using numerically unbiased methods, we show that Coulomb interactions produce ferromagnetic insulating states at integer fillings $ν\in[-3,3]$ with maximal spin polarization $M_{\text{FM}}=4-|ν|$. We find that the $ν=0$ state is a pure ferromagnet, whereas all other insulating states are spin-valley polarized. At odd filling factors $|ν|=1,3$ those states have a quantum anomalous Hall effect with Chern number $\mathcal{C}=1$. Except for the $ν=0,-2$ states, all other integer fillings have insulating phases with additional sublattice symmetry breaking and antiferromagnetism in the remote bands. We map the metal-insulator transitions of these phases as a function of the effective dielectric constant. Our results establish the importance of large-scale lattice calculations to faithfully determine the ground states of TBG at integer fillings.

description: Prostate cancer is the most frequent (excluding skin) malignancy diagnosed in males (in the US) and it is estimated that 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed within their life. African American men are inordinately at risk for developing this disease and are twice as likely to die from it compared to European American men. African American men are also susceptible to vitamin D deficiency as melanin inhibits cutaneous synthesis of vitamin D. Vitamin D is a hormone suspected to be chemopreventive in the prostate and its deficiency has been theorized to promote prostate cancer disparities in African American men. Androgens are another class of steroid hormones with carcinogenic properties that promote prostate cancer progression. This thesis challenges the ideas and explores the outcomes of an extracellular receptor, MEGALIN, that can internalize and be negatively regulated transcriptionally by vitamin D and androgens within the prostate
Measurements of jet quenching using semi-inclusive hadron+jet distributions in pp and central Pb$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV

description: The ALICE Collaboration reports measurements of the semi-inclusive distribution of charged-particle jets recoiling from a high transverse momentum (high $p_{\rm T}$) charged hadron, in pp and central Pb$-$Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon$-$nucleon collision $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV. The large uncorrelated background in central Pb$-$Pb collisions is corrected using a data-driven statistical approach, which enables precise measurement of recoil jet distributions over a broad range in $p_{\rm T,ch\,jet}$ and jet resolution parameter $R$. Recoil jet yields are reported for $R=0.2$, 0.4, and 0.5 in the range $7 < p_{\rm T,ch\, jet} < 140$ GeV$/c$ and $π/2<Δφ<π$, where $Δφ$ is the azimuthal angular separation between hadron trigger and recoil jet. The low $p_{\rm T,ch\,jet}$ reach of the measurement explores unique phase space for studying jet quenching, the interaction of jets with the quark-gluonnplasma generated in high-energy nuclear collisions. Comparison of $p_{\rm T,ch\,jet}$ distributions from pp and central Pb$-$Pb collisions probes medium-induced jet energy loss and intra-jet broadening, while comparison of their acoplanarity distributions explores in-medium jet scattering and medium response. The measurements are compared to theoretical calculations incorporating jet quenching.

description: We consider quantum learning machines -- quantum computers that modify themselves in order to improve their performance in some way -- that are trained to perform certain classical task, i.e. to execute a function which takes classical bits as input and returns classical bits as output. This allows a fair comparison between learning efficiency of quantum and classical learning machine in terms of the number of iterations required for completion of learning. We find an explicit example of the task for which numerical simulations show that quantum learning is faster than its classical counterpart. The task is extraction of the k-th root of NOT (NOT = logical negation), with k=2^m and m \in N. The reason for this speed-up is that classical machine requires memory of size log k=m to accomplish the learning, while the memory of a single qubit is sufficient for the quantum machine for any k.

Sanctuary and Revolution: Reaching Toward Disability Justice in Cultural Spaces

description: Access is at the heart of cultural work. The goal of this dissertation is to urge cultural workers to realistically and sustainably integrate a Disability Justice paradigm into their spheres of influence. Throughout the piece, I explore the ways that inaccessibility, ableism, and other forms of oppression are present in cultural spaces, while also critiquing the current ways cultural spaces ineffectively attempt to remedy these exclusions. The liberal inclusion approach they often take up, I argue, focuses on sameness, privileges the dominant group, and approaches inclusion at the individual level. Thus, these approaches are insufficient because they do not address the structural underpinnings of oppression. Instead, I call for a full paradigm shift wherein cultural spaces align themselves with the principles of Disability Justice, a dynamic and intersectional way of conceptualizing relationship, care, access at the structural level. While a Disability Justice practice may not be fully possible within each cultural space, I argue that it is vital for cultural spaces to take responsibility for critically considering the exclusionary structures in their current systems. I push cultural workers to orient toward Disability Justice in order to grow, avoid future harm, and perceive new possibility. Focusing on cultural spaces such as the Great Lakes Area Contact Improvisation Enthusiasts’ Retreat (GLACIER) community, the genre of outsider art, and Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, I explore the role that time plays in each context, arguing that approaching time in non-linear ways is a critical component of a Disability Justice-based framework. How can understanding time non-linearly reduce ableism and ageism and bring us closer to liberation? What happens when we resist the capitalist focus on productivity and strict timelines and instead bring about change gradually and sustainably? How might adopting a “time travel state of mind” bring freedom and abundance to our cultural spaces? How might questioning normative benchmarks, expectations, and pacing open possibilities for new ways of being? Using a Midwest contact improvisation annual event as a laboratory, I explore techniques of integrating Disability Justice principles and access in practice. Throughout the dissertation, I frame Disability Justice as a world-building practice and a future to reach for, while also recognizing the artists and activists who are already realizing this vision and guiding other cultural workers to do the same. I gesture toward current Disability Justice projects and practices as proof of what is possible and invite cultural workers to learn from these models to expand their imaginations and commitments to justice.
The effect of spatial displacement on children’s concept of directionality involving hidden objects
Creators: name: Wood, Ian Murray
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This study arose from a classroom discovery of a phenomenon involving an inconsistency in children's concepts of the direction of a distant unseen location. The importance of directionality problems, especially in outdoor education, led to the decision to attempt to describe the development of this phenomenon. A task was devised to duplicate the classroom situation. The task procedure involved having the subjects identify the location of a distant telephone pole from outside the gymnasium and then returning to the gymnasium and pointing the two arrows at the telephone pole which they could no longer see. When they were satisfied that both arrows were correct the subjects were questioned in an attempt to discover the underlying reasons for their responses. Fifty-five children from ages 5 to 11 were tested. A videotape recording, a cassette tape recording and a typed protocol were prepared for each interview. Piaget's theory of the development of knowledge provided the theoretical model for this study and the interview technique was based on the Piagetian model of the clinical interview. Witzian framework analysis was used to analyse the subject's responses. Analysis of the data collected resulted in the identification of six different sets of ideas used by young children to cope with the task situation. Also noted was the inability of children under age 5 to complete the task. The six sets of ideas or frameworks were identified from the data as: Framework 1 - The indicator on the south is closer to the telephone pole than the indicator on the north. Framework 2 - The indicator on the north is closer to the telephone pole than the indicator on the south. Framework 3 - The telephone pole is between the two indicators. Framework 4 - Part of the wall is equated to the telephone pole. Framework 5 - One indicator is chosen as a reference point. Framework 6 - Adult response (correct cognition). The indicators should be almost parallel.

Observation of medium-induced yield enhancement and acoplanarity broadening of low-$p_\mathrm{T}$ jets from measurements in pp and central Pb$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV

description: The ALICE Collaboration reports the measurement of semi-inclusive distributions of charged-particle jets recoiling from a high transverse momentum (high $p_{\rm T}$) hadron trigger in proton$-$proton and central Pb$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV. A data-driven statistical method is used to mitigate the large uncorrelated background in central Pb$-$Pb collisions. Recoil jet distributions are reported for jet resolution parameter $R=0.2$, 0.4, and 0.5 in the range $7 < p_{\rm T,jet} < 140$ GeV$/c$ and trigger$-$recoil jet azimuthal separation $π/2 < Δφ< π$. The measurements exhibit a marked medium-induced jet yield enhancement at low $p_{\rm T}$ and at large azimuthal deviation from $Δφ\simπ$. The enhancement is characterized by its dependence on $Δφ$, which has a slope that differs from zero by 4.7$σ$. Comparisons to model calculations incorporating different formulations of jet quenching are reported. These comparisons indicate that the observed yield enhancement arises from the response of the QGP medium to jet propagation.

description: We present a new theoretical approach for collisional absorption of laser energy in dense plasmas which accommodates arbitrary frequencies and high intensities of the laser field. We establish a connection between laser absorption by inverse Bremstrahlung and the stopping power. This relation is then applied to include strong correlations beyond the mean field approach. The results show an excellent agreement with molecular dynamics simulations up to very high coupling strength.
