description: In recent years, the black hole candidate X-ray binary system H1743-322 has undergone outbursts and it has been observed with X-ray and radio telescopes. We present 1.3 GHz MeerKAT radio data from the ThunderKAT Large Survey Project on radio transients for the 2018 outburst of H1743-322. We obtain seven detections from a weekly monitoring programme and use publicly available Swift X-ray Telescope and MAXI data to investigate the radio/X-ray correlation of H1743-322 for this outburst. We compare the 2018 outburst with those reported in the literature for this system and find that the X-ray outburst reported is similar to previously reported `hard-only' outbursts. As in previous outbursts, H1743-322 follows the `radio-quiet' correlation in the radio/X-ray plane for black hole X-ray binaries, and the radio spectral index throughout the outburst is consistent with the `radio-quiet' population.

description: The outbreak and propagation of COVID-19 have posed a considerable challenge to modern society. In particular, the different restrictive actions taken by governments to prevent the spread of the virus have changed the way humans interact and conceive interaction. Due to geographical, behavioral, or economic factors, different sub-groups among a population are more (or less) likely to interact, and thus to spread/acquire the virus. In this work, we present a general multi-group SEIRA model for representing the spread of COVID-19 among a heterogeneous population and test it in a numerical case of study. By highlighting its applicability and the ease with which its general formulation can be adapted to particular studies, we expect our model to lead us to a better understanding of the evolution of this pandemic and to better public-health policies to control it.

description: We predict a new mechanism for the spin light of neutrino ($SLν$) that can be emitted by a neutrino moving in gravitational fields. This effect is studied on the basis of the quasiclassical equation for the neutrino spin evolution in a gravitational field. It is shown that the gravitational field of a rotating object, in the weak-field limit, can be considered as an axial vector external field which induces the neutrino spin procession. The corresponding probability of the neutrino spin oscillations in the gravitational field has been derived for the first time. The considered in this paper $SLν$ can be produced in the neutrino spin-flip transitions in gravitational fields. It is shown that the total power of this radiation is proportional to the neutrino gamma factor to the fourth power, and the emitted photon energy, for the case of an ultra relativistic neutrino, could span up to gamma-rays. We investigate the $SLν$ caused by both gravitational and electromagnetic fields, also accounting for effects of arbitrary moving and polarized matter, in various astrophysical environments. In particular, we discuss the $SLν$ emitted by a neutrino moving in the vicinity of a rotating neutron star, black hole surrounded by dense matter, as well as by a neutrino propagating in the relativistic jet from a quasar.

Climate-Friendly Food (CFF) Labels Data Assessment at AMS Flavour Lab 2022-2023
Creators: name: Lee, Jenny
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: As a response to rising concerns about climate change, the University of British Columbia (UBC) proposed the Climate Action Plan (CAP) 2030 to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the next 15 years. 17.9 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2 eq.), which account for approximately 34% of global GHG emission, is generated through the human-driven food supply chain. To reduce GHG emissions associated with food production, the Climate-Friendly Food Services (CFFS) team aims to display sustainability labels on each menu item sold at Flavour Lab. This project is a pilot project which serves to inform students at UBC Vancouver of sustainable food options and encourage them to develop climate-friendly dietary habits. The CFFS Food Labeling Project first started with a pilot project conducted in 2020. The pilot project successfully assigned labels to menu items sold at three residence dining halls at the UBC Vancouver campus. Current research is an extension of the pilot project, with a separate workflow but sharing the same research objective, goal, and purpose. The data source provided by the current client, Alma Mater Society (AMS), does not align with that of the pilot project; hence a different workflow was needed. Primary data is collected with the assistance of UBC AMS, which is exported from the food nutrition management service, Optimum Control (OC), as a PDF file. The data on carbon, nitrogen and water footprint factors came from external secondary data sources. One critical change that distinguishes this research from the past pilot project is a change in the programming environment to PyCharm. PyCharm is an ideal environment for script automation and debugging. In total, 26 food items are analyzed from the three residence dining halls: Feast, Gather, and Open Kitchen. 19 items are classified as green, 5 items as yellow, and 2 items are classified as red. This sets the distribution percentage of the green items to approximately 73.01% of all items analyzed, which perfectly adheres to the goal of reducing food production-associated GHG emissions by 50%. Although all menu items are successfully analyzed, the analysis workflow still leaves a few limitations. In the next phase of the study, it is recommended by a new CFFS Data Analyst student to continue working towards improving the accuracy of the final outcomes.

Suppressed flavor violation in Lepton Flavored Dark Matter from an extra dimension

description: Phenomenological studies of Flavored Dark Matter (FDM) models often have to assume a near-diagonal flavor structure in the coupling matrix in order to remain consistent with bounds from flavor violating processes. In this paper we show that for Lepton FDM, such a structure can naturally arise from an extra dimensional setup. The extra dimension is taken to be flat, with the dark matter and mediator fields confined to a brane on one end of the extra dimension, and the Higgs field to a brane on the other end. The Standard Model fermion and gauge fields are the zero modes of corresponding bulk fields with appropriate boundary conditions. Global flavor symmetries exist in the bulk and on the FDM brane, while they are broken on the Higgs brane. Flavor violating processes arise due to the misalignment of bases for which the interactions on the two branes are diagonalized, and their size can be controlled by a choice of the lepton profiles along the extra dimension. By studying the parameter space for the model, we show that when relic abundance and indirect detection constraints are satisfied, the rates for flavor violating processes such as $μ\to eγ$ remain far below the experimental limits.

description: A series of novel polycyclic structures, with an imidazothiazole central core, were successfully synthesized through the anodic oxidation of catechols in the presence of2-imidazolidine thione, as nucleophiles in aqueous solution. The cyclic voltammetric results indicated that one-pot multi-step sequential reactions occur between the electrochemically derived o-benzoquinones intermediates and nucleophiles affording fused polyheterocyclic compounds.Themechanismof these catalyst-free, tandemreactions are proved asECECEor ECECCE pathways using potentiostatic and galvanostatic coulometries. In addition, the electrosyntheses of fused imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles have been successfully performed inambient conditions in an undivided cell using an environmentally friendly method with highatom economy and current efficiency. The novel fused polyheterocycles were fully characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HR-MS spectrometric methods.

description: (Abridged) We show that sizeable fractions of incident ionizing radiation from stochastic astrophysical sources can be redistributed to biologically and chemically important UV wavelengths, a significant fraction of which can reach the surface. This redistribution is mediated by secondary electrons, resulting from Compton scattering and X-ray photoabsorption, with energies low enough to excite atmospheric molecules and atoms, resulting in a rich aurora-like spectrum. We calculate the fraction of energy redistributed into biologically and chemically important wavelength regions for spectra characteristic of stellar flares and supernovae using a Monte-Carlo transport code written for this problem and then estimate the fraction of this energy that is transmitted from the atmospheric altitudes of redistribution to the surface for a few illustrative cases. Redistributed fractions are found to be of order 1%, even in the presence of an ozone shield. This result implies that planetary organisms will be subject to mutationally significant, if intermittent, fluences of UV-B and harder radiation even in the presence of a narrow-band UV shield like ozone. We also calculate the surficial transmitted fraction of ionizing radiation and redistributed ultraviolet radiation for two illustrative evolving Mars atmospheres whose initial surface pressures were 1 bar. Our results suggest that coding organisms on planets orbiting low-mass stars (and on the early Earth) may evolve very differently than on contemporary Earth, with diversity and evolutionary rate controlled by a stochastically varying mutation rate and frequent hypermutation episodes.

description: We investigate the stochasticity in temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation data from {\it Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe}. We show that the angular fluctuations of the temperature is a Markov process with a {\it Markov angular scale}, $Θ_{\rm Markov}=1.01^{+0.09}_{-0.07}$. We characterize the complexity of the CMB fluctuations by means of a Fokker-Planck or Langevin equation and measure the associated Kramers-Moyal coefficients for the fluctuating temperature field $T(\hat n)$ and its increment, $ΔT =T(\hat n_1) - T(\hat n_2)$. Through this method we show that temperature fluctuations in the CMB has fat tails compared to a Gaussian distribution.

description: Residual network (ResNet) and densely connected network (DenseNet) have significantly improved the training efficiency and performance of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) mainly for object classification tasks. In this paper, we propose an efficient network architecture by considering advantages of both networks. The proposed method is integrated into an encoder-decoder DCNN model for medical image segmentation. Our method adds additional skip connections compared to ResNet but uses significantly fewer model parameters than DenseNet. We evaluate the proposed method on a public dataset (ISIC 2018 grand-challenge) for skin lesion segmentation and a local brain MRI dataset. In comparison with ResNet-based, DenseNet-based and attention network (AttnNet) based methods within the same encoder-decoder network structure, our method achieves significantly higher segmentation accuracy with fewer number of model parameters than DenseNet and AttnNet. The code is available on GitHub (GitHub link: https://github.com/MinaJf/DRU-net).

description: This paper describes how realistic neuromorphic networks can have their connectivity fully characterized in analytical fashion. By assuming that all neurons have the same shape and are regularly distributed along the two-dimensional orthogonal lattice with parameter $Δ$, it is possible to obtain the exact number of connections and cycles of any length from the autoconvolution function as well as from the respective spectral density derived from the adjacency matrix. It is shown that neuronal shape plays an important role in defining the spatial distribution of synapses in neuronal networks. In addition, we observe that neuromorphic networks typically exhibit an interesting phenomenon where the pattern of connections is progressively shifted along the spatial domain for increasing connection lengths. This is a consequence of the fact that in neurons the axon reference point usually does not coincide with the cell centre of mass. Morphological measurements for characterization of the spatial distribution of connections, including the adjacency matrix spectral density and the lacunarity of the connections, are suggested and illustrated. We also show that Hopfield networks with connectivity defined by different neuronal morphologies, quantified by the proposed analytical approach, lead to distinct performace for associative recall, as measured by the overlap index. The potential of the proposed approach is illustrated with respect to digital images of real neuronal cells.

description: The paper analyses effects in the European fish sector which might occur due to technological innovations (pulse trawling in the case plaice) introduced under a regime of output controls to protect fish resources using. A partial equilibrium model (AGMEMOD) which covers among other agri-food products also 8 different fish categories is applied to conduct model simulations for the EU countries and some additional neighbouring countries European countries and the Rest of the world. The paper concentrates on plaice because the categories comprises very few fish species which allows to implement fish quotas and well as technological innovation. Therefore, this technology should contribute with the biomass protection as well as it proclaimed to increase fisher’s profits. Hence, model results indicate production increases may occur due to slight bio mass growth or cost decline until quotas are reached. Hence, all production growth will affect future prices negatively as expected growth of use in European countries is lower than production growth. The implementation of the pulse will enhance the currently existing price pressure whereas the impacts will vary significantly across the different European countries, affected by the size of the margin and the share of energy cost in total cost.

description: Since hardware oftentimes serves as the root of trust in our modern interconnected world, malicious hardware manipulations constitute a ubiquitous threat in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT). Hardware reverse engineering is a prevalent technique to detect such manipulations. Over the last years, an active research community has significantly advanced the field of hardware reverse engineering. Notably, many open research questions regarding the extraction of functionally correct netlists from Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) or Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) have been tackled. In order to facilitate further analysis of recovered netlists, a software framework is required, serving as the foundation for specialized algorithms. Currently, no such framework is publicly available. Therefore, we provide the first open-source gate-library agnostic framework for gate-level netlist analysis. In this positional paper, we demonstrate the workflow of our modular framework HAL on the basis of two case studies and provide profound insights on its technical foundations.

description: Poor sitting habits have been identified as a risk factor to musculoskeletal disorders and lower back pain especially on the elderly, disabled people, and office workers. In the current computerized world, even while involved in leisure or work activity, people tend to spend most of their days sitting at computer desks. This can result in spinal pain and related problems. Therefore, a means to remind people about their sitting habits and provide recommendations to counterbalance, such as physical exercise, is important. Posture recognition for seated postures have not received enough attention as most works focus on standing postures. Wearable sensors, pressure or force sensors, videos and images were used for posture recognition in the literature. The aim of this study is to build Machine Learning models for classifying sitting posture of a person by analyzing data collected from a chair platted with two 32 by 32 pressure sensors at its seat and backrest. Models were built using five algorithms: Random Forest (RF), Gaussian Na\"ive Bayes, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine and Deep Neural Network (DNN). All the models are evaluated using KFold cross-validation technique. This paper presents experiments conducted using the two separate datasets, controlled and realistic, and discusses results achieved at classifying six sitting postures. Average classification accuracies of 98% and 97% were achieved on the controlled and realistic datasets, respectively.

description: We study the effects of the presence of the tachyon field around the black hole. We show that in presence of the tachyon field, unlike the ordinary canonical scalar field, the time evolution of the black hole mass depends on the potential of this field. By considering several types of potential, we study the behavior of the black hole mass and its time evolution and find some interesting results. We find that the presence of the tachyon field causes the accretion of the mass into the black hole. We also show that with linear and hilltop potentials, in some ranges of the parameters space, the mass of the black hole can decrease even without any Hawking radiation.

description: Following the well-succeed experience of developed countries such as Canada and the United States, Brazil implemented the Crop Insurance Program (PSR) in 2005 seeking to provide subsidies for the purchase of crop insurance policies by Brazilian farmers. Despite the importance of this public policy, there is no empirical investigation about the effects of premium subsidies on the quantity demanded for crop insurance in Brazil. This paper aimed to fill this gap through the investigation of the three grains – corn, soybeans and wheat – that are most cultivated in southern Brazil, the region where PSR is most developed. A fixed effects model was applied to an unbalanced panel data of municipalities of southern Brazil considering the years between 2006 and 2015. Three measures of crop insurance demand were considered: level of total premiums, level of total premiums per hectare and level of total liability per hectare. Results was in line with previous literature, suggesting the existence of a positive, although inelastic, effect of the subsidy level on the demand for crop insurance.
Spectroscopic Interpretation: The High Vibrations of CDBrClF

description: We extract the dynamics implicit in an algebraic fitted model Hamiltonian for the deuterium chromophore's vibrational motion in the molecule CDBrClF. The original model has 4 degrees of freedom, three positions and one representing interbond couplings. A conserved polyad allows in a semiclassical approach the reduction to 3 degrees of freedom. For most quantum states we can identify the underlying motion that when quantized gives the said state. Most of the classifications, identifications and assignments are done by visual inspection of the already available wave function semiclassically transformed from the number representation to a representation on the reduced dimension toroidal configuration space corresponding to the classical action and angle variables. The concentration of the wave function density to lower dimensional subsets centered on idealized simple lower dimensional organizing structures and the behavior of the phase along such organizing centers already reveals the atomic motion. Extremely little computational work is needed.

description: Frequent droughts affect agriculture and livelihoods of millions of farm households in Semiarid India. Here we attempt to answer the question why some farm households are able to better cope with drought and bounce back quickly as compared to many others. The analysis considered 256 households-data from 2006 to 2014 from three semi-arid regions in India. Households were categorized using crop income and composite crop productivity index of pre-drought and post-drought years. The principal component analysis was applied to construct a composite vulnerability and resilience index. Study analyzes determinants of drought-impacts and risk choices through rigorous statistical process. It is revealed that cultivated area was more impacted then crop yields; adopting cash crops was an important driver of household’s resilience. Crop income drives not only high drought impacts but also the ability of households to bounce back. Higher operated-area, off-farm and livestock income in pre-drought years and cash crop area and cropping intensity post-drought enabled households to stay highly resilient. We conclude that drought impacts and resilience ability of different farm households in a region is not uniform. There is need to consider this heterogeneity to devise robust policy to derive effective resilience enhancing strategies targeting vulnerable households.

description: Despite recent progress in poverty reduction globally, millions of people are either near or living in severe multidimensional poverty in Nigeria. This study examined multidimensional poverty transitions in rural Nigeria, employing the Alkire and Foster Measure of Multidimensional Poverty, Markov Model of Poverty Transitions and the Multinomial Logistic Regression Model for analysis. Results showed that multidimensional poverty among rural households in Nigeria is mainly chronic (46.5%) while education and assets dimensions contributed most to the incidence and severity of multidimensional poverty among the households. Educational status, household size, number of assets owned, ownership of land influenced transient poverty while marital status, household size, land ownership and number of assets owned influenced chronic poverty. The study recommends the enactment and implementation of relevant laws against marginalization of rural women in ownership of assets and intensification of efforts and incentives aimed at encouraging human capital development in the rural areas

description: We propose that quarks and leptons are interchangeable entities in the high-energy limit. This naturally results in the extension of [SU(3)]^3 trinification to [SU(3)]^4 quartification. In addition to the unbroken color SU(3)_q of quarks, there is now also a color SU(3)_l of leptons which reduces to an unbroken SU(2)_l. We discuss the natural occurrence of SU(2)_l doublets at the TeV energy scale, which leads remarkably to the unification of all gauge couplings without supersymmetry. Proton decay occurs through the exchange of scalar bosons, with a lifetime in the range 10^{34} - 10^{36} years.

description: An understanding of dynamics of the labour market is a major economic issue that interests economists in developing countries like Nigeria but poses challenges in term of data availability and quality. In this paper, we made a good attempt to construct the required data using the LSMS panel data available in Nigeria between 2010 and 2013. To gain insights into how workforce move from one sector to another and identify key determinants of a worker’s decision to dissolve a job match and go to engage in another in another sector, we tested within a model if job characteristics, demographic variable, social networks, information and communication factors, space and time variables contribute to switching job from one sector to another. To achieve this, Nigeria LSMS panel data for both 2010/2011 and 2012/2013 were used with multinomial regression analysis. The empirical model results reveal that job characteristics, individual demographic characteristics, social networks, information and communication assets and locations do determine job transition.

description: This paper addresses the role of religious practices on market outcomes. We study the Ethiopian milk market what amounts to a natural experiment influenced by different Christian, Islamic and traditional faiths. Focal point of this article are the fasting rituals characterized by the abstinence of animal products, a fundamental pillar of Orthodox Christianity, the dominant religious group within Ethiopia. Employing country-wide data collected by the Living Standards Measurement Studies, we find, much to our surprise, that the fasting rituals of the Orthodox Christian society adversely affects both milk demand in Orthodox and local Muslim communities alike. The direct effect on Orthodox groups and the spillovers to Muslim networks create important market inefficiencies. The religion-related demand cycles are particularly challenging to government policies that aim to develop the livestock sector.
