description: Galois conjugation relates unitary conformal field theories (CFTs) and topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) to their non-unitary counterparts. Here we investigate Galois conjugates of quantum double models, such as the Levin-Wen model. While these Galois conjugated Hamiltonians are typically non-Hermitian, we find that their ground state wave functions still obey a generalized version of the usual code property (local operators do not act on the ground state manifold) and hence enjoy a generalized topological protection. The key question addressed in this paper is whether such non-unitary topological phases can also appear as the ground states of Hermitian Hamiltonians. Specific attempts at constructing Hermitian Hamiltonians with these ground states lead to a loss of the code property and topological protection of the degenerate ground states. Beyond this we rigorously prove that no local change of basis can transform the ground states of the Galois conjugated doubled Fibonacci theory into the ground states of a topological model whose Hermitian Hamiltonian satisfies Lieb-Robinson bounds. These include all gapped local or quasi-local Hamiltonians. A similar statement holds for many other non-unitary TQFTs. One consequence is that the "Gaffnian" wave function cannot be the ground state of a gapped fractional quantum Hall state.

description: Novel electronic systems forming at oxide interfaces comprise a class of new materials with a wide array of potential applications. A high mobility electron system forms at the LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface and, strikingly, both superconducts and displays indications of hysteretic magnetoresistance. An essential step for device applications is establishing the ability to vary the electronic conductivity of the electron system by means of a gate. We have fabricated metallic top gates above a conductive interface to vary the electron density at the interface. By monitoring capacitance and electric field penetration, we are able to tune the charge carrier density and establish that we can completely deplete the metallic interface with small voltages. Moreover, at low carrier densities, the capacitance is significantly enhanced beyond the geometric capacitance for the structure. In the same low density region, the metallic interface overscreens an external electric field. We attribute these observations to a negative compressibility of the electronic system at the interface. Similar phenomena have been observed previously in semiconducting two-dimensional electronic systems. The observed compressibility result is consistent with the interface containing a system of mobile electrons in two dimensions.

description: Electric field produced inside a solute by a uniformly polarized liquid is strongly affected by dipolar polarization of the liquid at the interface. We show, by numerical simulations, that the electric "cavity" field inside a hydrated non-polar solute does not follow the predictions of standard Maxwell's electrostatics of dielectrics. Instead, the field inside the solute tends, with increasing solute size, to the limit predicted by the Lorentz virtual cavity. The standard paradigm fails because of its reliance on the surface charge density at the dielectric interface determined by the boundary conditions of the Maxwell dielectric. The interface of a polar liquid instead carries a preferential in-plane orientation of the surface dipoles thus producing virtually no surface charge. The resulting boundary conditions for electrostatic problems differ from the traditional recipes, affecting the microscopic and macroscopic fields based on them. We show that relatively small differences in cavity fields propagate into significant differences in the dielectric constant of an ideal mixture. The slope of the dielectric increment of the mixture versus the solute concentration depends strongly on which polarization scenario at the interface is realized. A much steeper slope found in the case of Lorentz polarization also implies a higher free energy penalty for polarizing such mixtures.

Mass and geometric measurements of binary radio pulsars
Creators: name: Fonseca, Emmanuel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: One of the primary, long-term goals in high-energy astrophysics is the measurement of macroscopic parameters that constrain the equation of state for compact stellar objects. For neutron stars, known to be composed of the densest matter in the Universe, measurements of their masses and sizes are of considerable importance due to the poorly understood processes that govern their interiors. Measurements of relativistic “post-Keplerian” effects in binary systems can be used to significantly constrain viable equations of state, test modern theories of gravitation, verify binary-evolution models that predict correlations between certain binary parameters, and determine the Galactic neutron-star mass distribution that is expected to reflect different supernovae mechanisms and evolutionary paths. In this thesis, we use established pulsar-timing techniques to analyze signals from radio pulsars in 25 binary systems, as well as from one pulsar in a hierarchical triple system, in order to detect perturbations from Keplerian motion of the bodies. We characterize observed relativistic Shapiro timing delays to derive estimates of the component masses and inclination angles in 14 pulsar-binary systems, and measure a large number of secular variations due to kinematic, relativistic and/or third-body effects in the majority of binary systems studied here. We find a wide range of statistically-significant pulsar masses and make new detections of the relativistic Shapiro-delay signal in four binary systems for the first time. In the relativistic PSR B1534+12 binary system, we derive an accurate and precise rate of geodetic precession of the pulsar-spin axis -- due to secular variations of electromagnetic pulse structure -- that is consistent with the prediction from general relativity. In the PSR B1620-26 triple system, we discuss ongoing efforts to simultaneously model both “inner” and “outer” orbits and tentatively measure secular variations of all “inner-orbital” elements that we show are likely due to third-body interactions between the smaller orbit and outer companion, which can eventually be used to constrain orientation angles and possibly the pulsar mass in the near future.
Leo Lipski: Disabling Modernity

description: I my dissertation I argue that Leo Lipski’s prose, written mostly in the 1950s, vividly renders modernity’s late stage, concurrent with the twentieth-century totalitarian projects in which the human body loses its singularity and individual value to become, instead, a mere vehicle for ideological, political, and collective pursuits. In the aftermath of the twentieth century’s atrocities, the human body in Lipski’s texts, once a central political concern, radically disintegrates and depreciates. In this disabling of the human body––a process foregrounded in Lipski’s work as well as life––modernity experiences its own undoing as its erstwhile focal point––biological life itself––is consistently negated

description: We extend the basic concepts of Street's formal theory of monads from the setting of 2-categories to that of double categories. In particular, we introduce the double category Mnd(C) of monads in a double category C and define what it means for a double category to admit the construction of free monads. Our main theorem shows that, under some mild conditions, a double category that is a framed bicategory admits the construction of free monads if its horizontal 2-category does. We apply this result to obtain double adjunctions which extend the adjunction between graphs and categories and the adjunction between polynomial endofunctors and polynomial monads.

description: What prevents employees from supporting their colleagues who are stigmatized because of their social identity? I develop a theoretical framework based on risk-taking, legitimacy, and trust that explains the mechanisms leading to a stronger relationship between stigmatized employees and their allies along with the factors preventing someone from acting as an ally. Using theory of planned behavior, I theorize and investigate ally risk beliefs shaping ally risk-taking and propose how servant leadership can reduce the impact of these risk beliefs on risk-taking. My dissertation findings contribute to HR theory and practice by advancing research on allies to employees with a stigmatized identity and opens avenues for further discussion on the relationship dynamics between stigmatized employees and their allies which may thrive under the supervision of servant leaders.

description: We report an experimental investigation of the longitudinal space-time cross-correlation function of the velocity field, $C(r,τ)$, in a cylindrical turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell using the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. We show that while the Taylor's frozen-flow hypothesis does not hold in turbulent thermal convection, the recent elliptic model advanced for turbulent shear flows [He & Zhang, \emph{Phys. Rev. E} \textbf{73}, 055303(R) (2006)] is valid for the present velocity field for all over the cell, i.e., the isocorrelation contours of the measured $C(r,τ)$ have a shape of elliptical curves and hence $C(r,τ)$ can be related to $C(r_E,0)$ via $r_E^2=(r-βτ)^2+γ^2τ^2$ with $β$ and $γ$ being two characteristic velocities. We further show that the fitted $β$ is proportional to the mean velocity of the flow, but the values of $γ$ are larger than the theoretical predictions. Specifically, we focus on two representative regions in the cell: the region near the cell sidewall and the cell's central region. It is found that $β$ and $γ$ are approximately the same near the sidewall, while $β\simeq0$ at cell center.

description: We construct the type IIB supergravity solutions describing D3-branes ending on 5-branes, in the near-horizon limit of the D3-branes. Our solutions are holographically dual to the 4d N=4 SU(N) super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory on a half-line, at large N and large 't Hooft coupling, with various boundary conditions that preserve half of the supersymmetry. The solutions are limiting cases of the general solutions with the same symmetries constructed in 2007 by D'Hoker, Estes and Gutperle. The classification of our solutions matches exactly with the general classification of boundary conditions for D3-branes ending on 5-branes by Gaiotto and Witten. We use the gravity duals to compute the one-point functions of some chiral operators in the N=4 SYM theory on a half-line at strong coupling, and find that they do not match with the expectation values of the same operators with the same boundary conditions at small 't Hooft coupling. Our solutions may also be interpreted as the gravity duals of 4d N=4 SYM on AdS_4, with various boundary conditions.

Deformability based sorting of red blood cells and white blood cells using microfluidic ratchets
Creators: name: Guo, Quan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: There are many situations in medicine and biology where it is desirable to sort cells in a heterogeneous sample based on their mechanical deformability, which can potentially serve as a proxy for morphology or pathology. This biophysical characteristic is particularly relevant for cells in the circulatory system, such as red blood cells and white blood cells, because deformability determines the capacity for these cells to transit through the microvasculature. Since deformability is such a fundamental characteristics of blood cells, deviations in normal cell deformability can contribute to a range of pathological conditions, such as microvascular occlusion, tissue necrosis and organ failure, observed in diseases such as malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. A commonly employed approach for deformability-based cell sorting is microfiltration. However, this method suffers from cell clogging at the filter microstructures, leading to reduced selectivity and device malfunction. This dissertation presents an improved microfiltration strategy performed using the microfluidic ratchet mechanism, which relies on the deformation of individual cells through micrometer-scale tapered constrictions. Deforming single cells through such constrictions requires directionally asymmetrical forces, which enables oscillatory flow to create a ratcheting transport that depends on cell size and deformability. Simultaneously, oscillatory flow continuously agitates the cells to limit the contact time with the filter microstructure to prevent clogging and adsorption. This work demonstrates the utility of the ratchet mechanism for cell sorting by developing a microfluidic device to sort red blood cells based on deformability. The device is used to separate Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells from uninfected cells. The method was shown to dramatically improve the sensitivity of malaria diagnosis performed using both microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests by converting samples with difficult-to-detect parasitemia (<0.01%) into samples with easily detectable parasitemia (>0.1%). This work further demonstrates the utility of the microfluidic ratchet mechanism by developing a microfluidic device to isolate and sort leukocytes directly from whole blood. The method is capable of separating leukocytes from whole blood with 100% purity (i.e. no contaminant erythrocytes) and <2% leukocytes loss. Furthermore, the approach demonstrates the potential to phenotypically sort leukocytes to enrich for granulocytes and lymphocytes subpopulations.
Beyond the Good Intentions: Assessing Unintended Consequences of Labor and Health Policies

description: In the first chapter, I study the causal effect of longer maternity leave on postpartum depression and other measures of mental health. Using a difference-in-difference instrumental variable approach, I find that one extra week of paid maternity leave increases the probability of being diagnosed with postpartum depression by 0.3 percentage points. However, I find no evidence of an increase in self-reported maternal stress level during the first 18 months after delivery or an increase in longer term depressive symptoms. A likely mechanism driving the increased diagnosis is that longer paid maternity leave increases the likelihood of diagnosis given a fixed level of depressive symptoms. I show that longer leave increases labor market attachment of mothers and thereby affects insurance coverage and doctor visits. By remaining employed, women are not only less likely to be uninsured, but they also get access to better health insurance. The availability of better health insurance combined with more time to go to the doctor, increase doctor visits during the first year after delivery, especially mental health visits. In the second chapter, I study the impact of the Chilean paid maternity leave extension on labor market discrimination against women. Using a difference-in-differences approach, I find robust evidence that the aforementioned policy had an unintended effect: it reduced labor force participation of women of childbearing age by 3 percentage points and their employment by 2.4 percentage points, while it had no effect on the gender pay gap. In the third chapter, I study how the availability of a drug that reduces the risk of sexually acquired HIV, Truvada for Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), is affecting men who have sex with men (MSM) sexual behavior, and if this change in behavior has a causal effect on the increase in sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) seen in the United States in the last years. Using data from NSFG and NHANES, and a propensity score matching differences-in-differences approach, I find evidence of risk compensation after the introduction of PrEP. I document an increase in the probability of having more than 2 sexual partners in the last year as well as having a new sex partner in the last 12 months. I do not find evidence of an increase in sexual activity, however. I also find a large increase in condomless sexual activity. I document individuals switching from always using condoms and using condoms less than 50% of the times to never using condoms. Additionally, I provide suggestive evidence of an increase in STDs (chlamydia and HPV).

Now or Later? Emotional Factors and Decision-Making in Cocaine Use Disorder
Creators: name: Hoots, Jennifer K.
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Cocaine use disorder (CUD) remains a major public health concern, contributing significantly to death and disability. One defining feature of CUD is the repeated use of cocaine at the expense of alternative rewards. While use of cocaine quickly leads to rewarding effects, working towards alternative, long-term goals tends to involve more delay until reward receipt. Rewards are generally perceived as worth less when people must wait longer to receive them, a phenomenon called delay discounting. Individuals with CUD show steep delay discounting, indicating that they perceive the value of the reward as quickly decreasing as the delay increases. This study focuses on the relationship of delay discounting with distress tolerance and depression symptoms, including anhedonia. These factors are functionally significant areas of deficit in CUD and show promise for future treatment. We hypothesized: (1) lower distress tolerance will relate to steeper delay discounting in treatment-seeking individuals with CUD and (2) higher levels of depression symptoms and anhedonia will relate to steeper delay discounting in treatment-seeking individuals with CUD, although we also tested for possible quadratic relationships with discounting. Participants included treatment-seeking individuals with CUD. Distress tolerance was measured using a self-report questionnaire (Distress Tolerance Scale) and a behavioral measure of pain tolerance (Cold Pressor Task). Depression symptoms were self-reported on the Beck Depression Inventory Second Edition, and anhedonia was self-reported on the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale. To assess the relationship between these factors and temporal decision-making, we used multiple regression analyses with AUClog and log k from the delay discounting task as dependent variables. Results showed that self-reported distress tolerance showed no relationship with delay discounting, but lower levels of physical distress tolerance were associated with steeper delay discounting. Depressive symptoms showed a quadratic relationship with delay discounting, such that low and high levels of depression were associated with steeper delay discounting than moderate levels. Anhedonia showed a quadratic relationship with delay discounting as well, but moderate levels of anhedonia were associated with steeper delay discounting in comparison to low and high levels. Findings provide insight into the distinct relationship which tolerating physical distress may have with delay discounting in CUD. The unique relationships reported here for depression and anhedonia with delay discounting likely indicate differential associations of mood and reward-processing with decision-making in CUD. These findings offer deeper insight into decision-making in this population and a variety of potential treatment targets for further analysis.

Understanding Couple Relationship Education: Examining Mechanisms of Change
Creators: name: Friend, Daniel Joseph
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background: Couple relationship education (CRE) programs have demonstrated mixed effects, and our inadequate understanding of the mechanisms underlying CRE may contribute to these effects. The existing theory underpinning CRE posits that participation should lead to the acquisition of communication and conflict managements skills, driving improved communication between coupled partners, which should lead to changes in more distal couple-functioning outcomes such as relationship satisfaction. However, there is a dearth of research testing this theory. In addition, CRE curricula provide content on other relationship skills that could improve relationship-oriented, cognitive-behavioral constructs such as trust or intimacy. However, no evaluations have tested a theory of change that incorporates these cognitive-behavioral constructs. Method: This research explores the current theory of change using the dataset from the Building Strong Families project, a large-scale experimental evaluation of CRE programs which includes baseline, 15- , and 36-month self-reported surveys from participants. Actor-partner independence mediation modeling is used to examine whether positive and negative conflict management (CM) skills and relationship-oriented, cognitive-behavioral variables related to support and affection (SA) at 15-months mediate the association between CRE assignment and couple-functioning outcomes (satisfaction, stability, infidelity, co-parenting, and intimate partner violence) at 36-months. This project also explores whether CM skills at 15-months mediate the effect of CRE assignment on measures of SA at 36-months and vice versa. Results: CM skills did not mediate the effects of CRE assignment on any couple-functioning outcomes, and the same was true of SA behaviors. In addition, SA behaviors did not mediate the effects of CRE assignment on CM skills. This was also the case for CM skills mediating the effects of CRE assignment on measures of SA at 36-months. Discussion: This study contributes to the literature on CRE’s existing theory of change and represents the first study to examine mediating mechanisms in a large-scale experimental evaluation of CRE programs for low-income unmarried couples. Although significant mediation was not observed, this finding is consistent with a previous study examining the theory in another large-scale evaluation. Several limitations may have contributed to the lack of significant findings. Recommendations for future research exploring this topic are discussed.

description: A crucial issue for a mobile ad hoc network is the handling of a large number of nodes. As more nodes join the mobile ad hoc network, contention and congestion are more likely. The on demand routing protocols which broadcasts control packets to discover routes to the destination nodes, generate a high number of broadcast packets in a larger networks causing contention and collision. We propose an efficient route discovery protocol, which reduces the number of broadcast packet, using controlled flooding technique. The simulation results show that the proposed probabilistic flooding decreases the number of control packets floating in the network during route discovery phase, without lowering the success ratio of path discoveries. Furthermore, the proposed method adapts to the normal network conditions. The results show that up to 70% of control packet traffic is saved in route discovery phase when the network is denser.

Beginning with the pre-galactic evolution of baryonic material we describe the analytical and numerical understanding of how baryons condense into galaxies, what determines the structure of those galaxies and how internal and external processes (including star formation, merging, active galactic nuclei etc.) determine their gross properties and evolution. Throughout, we highlight successes and failings of current galaxy formation theory. We include a review of computational implementations of galaxy formation theory and assess their ability to provide reliable modelling of this complex phenomenon. We finish with a discussion of several "hot topics" in contemporary galaxy formation theory and assess future directions for this field.

description: We investigate a game-theoretic model of a social system where both the rules of the game and the interaction structure are shaped by the behavior of the agents. We call this type of model, with several types of feedback couplings from the behavior of the agents to their environment, a multiadaptive game. Our model has a complex behavior with several regimes of different dynamic behavior accompanied by different network topological properties. Some of these regimes are characterized by heterogeneous, hierarchical interaction networks, where cooperation and network topology coemerge from the dynamics.

description: We report the discovery of two field brown dwarfs, ULAS J0128-0041 and ULAS J0321+0051, and the rediscovery of ULAS J0226+0051 (IfA 0230-Z1), in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) southern equatorial stripe. They are found in the course of our follow-up observation program of 1 um excess sources in the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope Infrared Deep Sky Survey. The Gemini Multi-Object Spectrographs spectra at red optical wavelengths (6500-10500 A) are presented, which reveal that they are early-T dwarfs. The classification is also supported by their optical to near-infrared colors. It is noted that ULAS J0321+0051 is one of the faintest currently known T dwarfs. The estimated distances to the three objects are 50-110 pc, thus they are among the most distant field T dwarfs known. Dense temporal coverage of the target fields achieved by the SDSS-II Supernova Survey allows us to perform a simple time-series analysis, which leads to the finding of significant proper motions of 150-290 mas/yr or the transverse velocities of 40-100 km/s for ULAS J0128-0041 and ULAS J0226+0051. We also find that there are no detectable, long-term (a-few-year) brightness variations above a few times 0.1 mag for the two brown dwarfs.

description: The American cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon, has been reported to benefit human health Cranberry polyphenols, proanthocyanidins have been shown to inhibit in vitro biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans. We hypothesize that consumption of cranberry juice suppresses metabolic activity of children’s dental plaque biofilm. Purpose: To evaluate the effects of cranberry juice on children’s supragingival plaque regrowth and acid production . Methods: Commercially marketed unsweetened 100% pure cranberry juice (CJ) and cranberry juice cocktail (CJC, 27% juice) were used. Fifteen children (7-12 years) participated in the controlled crossover study. Overnight fasting supragingival plaque from buccal and lingual surfaces in the left maxillary and mandibular quadrants was collected (Baseline untreated plaque). Participants then consumed 10 ml of CJ, CJC or water for 30 seconds three consecutive times. After 30 minutes, their right maxillary and mandibular plaque was collected. All plaque samples were assessed for acid production and regrowth after 2 and 4hr at 37°C. Results: Consumption of 100% cranberry juice inhibited the average regrowth (~27.5 %) and acid production (ΔpH: 0.31) of children’s supragingival plaque bacteria. No significant inhibition was noted after exposure to CJC or water. Conclusions: Consumption of cranberry juice may represent a healthier alternative over popular sugary snacks for children.
A study of unified models of radio-loud active galactic nuclei through radio source evolution

description: The study of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) unified models attempts to unite quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) and radio galaxies (RGs) through two orienta- tion effects: (1) from twin-jet relativistic ejection of synchrotron radiating plasma along an axis; and from (2) a central dusty torus aligned at 90⁰ to the axis and hiding the black-hole (BH) accretion disk cone from side-on viewing. Random orientation of the axis to our line of sight provides such orientation-dependent appearances that QSOs and RGs were originally clas- sified as entirely different. However, if unified models are correct, we gain deeper theoretical understanding of the interplay among AGN, black-holes and host galaxy properties. This should provide an answer to what causes the origin and diversity of AGN populations. The subset of AGN populations with powerful radio frequency emission is called radio-loud (RL) AGN. The RL AGN unification scheme claims that powerful radio galaxies are the parent population of RL QSOs or BL Lac objects. RL AGN unified models cannot ignore the impact of strong cosmic evolution of powerful radio sources. Moreover, radio-source counts of the populations differ at varying radio frequencies. Detailed modelling of the radio source evolution and radio luminosity function must be ac- counted for by cosmic evolution in order to properly interpret any unified model. Preliminary investigations of new techniques to incorporate updated data are described here. These include both evolution-model tests and tests on directly constructing the local radio luminosity function from new low- frequency data. Despite some successes, the subject of radio-loud AGN unified mod- elling remains active, since there are still unresolved issues, for example, contradictory results are revealed in existing samples that compare the pro- jected linear sizes of radio galaxies with radio-loud QSOs. Whether this is merely the result of selection effects or there are complications in radio-loud unified models remains unclear. The surface-brightness sensitivity of new- generation low-frequency radio telescopes (e.g. the Murchison Wide Field Array, MWA) may shed light on resolving these discrepancies.

description: The persistent discrepancy between observations of 7Li with putative primordial origin and its abundance prediction in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) has become a challenge for the standard cosmological and astrophysical picture. We point out that the decay of GeV-scale metastable particles X may significantly reduce the BBN value down to a level at which it is reconciled with observations. The most efficient reduction occurs when the decay happens to charged pions and kaons, followed by their charge exchange reactions with protons. Similarly, if X decays to muons, secondary electron antineutrinos produce a similar effect. We consider the viability of these mechanisms in different classes of new GeV-scale sectors, and find that several minimal extensions of the Standard Model with metastable vector and/or scalar particles are capable of solving the cosmological lithium problem. Such light states can be a key to the explanation of recent cosmic ray anomalies and can be searched for in a variety of high-intensity medium-energy experiments.

description: The MAYA detector is a Time-Charge Projection Chamber based on the concept of active target. These type of devices use a part of the detection system, the filling gas in this case, in the role of reaction target. The MAYA detector performs three-dimensional tracking, in order to determine physical observables of the reactions occurring inside the detector. The reconstruction algorithms of the tracking use the information from a two-dimensional projection on the segmented cathode, and, in general, they need to be adapted for the different experimental settings of the detector. This work presents some of the most relevant solutions developed for the MAYA detector.
