description: We report on the design and first results from experiments looking at the formation of radiative shocks on the Shenguang-II (SG-II) laser at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics in China. Laser-heating of a two-layer CH/CH-Br foil drives a $\sim$40 km/s shock inside a gas-cell filled with argon at an initial pressure of 1 bar. The use of gas-cell targets with large (several mm) lateral and axial extent allows the shock to propagate freely without any wall interactions, and permits a large field of view to image single and colliding counter-propagating shocks with time resolved, point-projection X-ray backlighting ($\sim20$ $μ$m source size, 4.3 keV photon energy). Single shocks were imaged up to 100 ns after the onset of the laser drive allowing to probe the growth of spatial non-uniformities in the shock apex. These results are compared with experiments looking at counter-propagating shocks, showing a symmetric drive which leads to a collision and stagnation from $\sim$40 ns onward. We present a preliminary comparison with numerical simulations with the radiation hydrodynamics code ARWEN, which provides expected plasma parameters for the design of future experiments in this facility.

description: The performance of peer-to-peer file replication comes from its piece and peer selection strategies. Two such strategies have been introduced by the BitTorrent protocol: the rarest first and choke algorithms. Whereas it is commonly admitted that BitTorrent performs well, recent studies have proposed the replacement of the rarest first and choke algorithms in order to improve efficiency and fairness. In this paper, we use results from real experiments to advocate that the replacement of the rarest first and choke algorithms cannot be justified in the context of peer-to-peer file replication in the Internet. We instrumented a BitTorrent client and ran experiments on real torrents with different characteristics. Our experimental evaluation is peer oriented, instead of tracker oriented, which allows us to get detailed information on all exchanged messages and protocol events. We go beyond the mere observation of the good efficiency of both algorithms. We show that the rarest first algorithm guarantees close to ideal diversity of the pieces among peers. In particular, on our experiments, replacing the rarest first algorithm with source or network coding solutions cannot be justified. We also show that the choke algorithm in its latest version fosters reciprocation and is robust to free riders. In particular, the choke algorithm is fair and its replacement with a bit level tit-for-tat solution is not appropriate. Finally, we identify new areas of improvements for efficient peer-to-peer file replication protocols.
The formation and reactivity of positive Muon molecular ions
Creators: name: Arseneau, Donald Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Thermal (117—445 K) ion—molecule reaction rates are measured, using the µSR technique, for the muonated molecular ions HeMu+, NeMu+, ArMu+, and N²Mu+ reacting with a wide variety of polar and non-polar neutral species. Mu is a light (0.11 amu) isotope of H with a positive muon replacing the proton. In almost all cases, both charge- and muon-transfer reactions are observed. Since charge transfer is endothermic in many cases, the reaction is believed to occur from rovibrationally excited states, (HeMuj* and (NeMu+)*, in accordance with the low efficiencies of He and Ne moderators for collisional deactivation. The total experimental rate constants are generally in good agreement with capture theories (Langevin, ADO, AADO) and in excellent agreement with the few corresponding protonated ion measurements, regardless of the degree of internal excitation. The reacting muonated ions are found to form by association of a µ+ with the bath gas at muon kinetic energies <1 eV, and much of the binding energy is retained as rovibrational excitation. Collisional deactivation was investigated by varying the bath gas pressure (500~3000 torr) and by adding 0~2 torr Ar. A mechanism of de-excitation of (NeMuX+)* (for reactive gas X) is suggested, while direct quenching of (NeMu+)* and (HeMu+)* is less important, though it does occur.

description: We propose an experiment that the entanglement between two macroscopic mirrors suspended at the end of an equal-arm interferometer is destroyed by the noise of gravitons through bremsstrahlung. By calculating the correlation function of the noise, we obtain the decoherence time from the decoherence functional. We estimate that the decoherence time induced by the noise of gravitons in squeezed states stemming from inflation is approximately 20 seconds for 40 km long arms and 40 kg mirrors. Our analysis shows that observation of the decoherence time of quantum entanglement has the potential to detect gravitons indirectly. This indirect detection of gravitons would give strong evidence of quantum gravity.

description: The main chromospheric activity indicator is the S index, which is esentially the ratio of the flux in the core of the Ca II H and K lines to the continuum nearby, and is well studied basically for stars from F to K. Another usual chromospheric proxy is the Hαline, which is beleived to be tightly correlated with the Ca II index. In this work we characterize both chromospheric activity indicators, one associated with the H and K Ca II lines and the other with Hα, for the whole range of late type stars, from F to M. We present periodical medium-resolution echelle observations covering the complete visual range, which were taken at the CASLEO Argentinean Observatory. These observations are distributed along 7 years. We use a total of 917 flux-calibrated spectra for 109 stars which range from F6 to M5. We statistically study these two indicators for stars of different activity levels and spectral types. We directly derive the conversion factor which translate the known S index to flux in the Ca II cores, and extend its calibration to a wider spectral range. We investigate the relation between the activity measurements in the calcium and hydrogen lines, and found that the usual correlation observed is basically the product of the dependence of each flux with stellar colour, and not the product of similar activity phenomena.

A new robotic hand based on the design of fingers with spatial motions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021

description: This article presents a new hand architecture with three under-actuated fingers. Each finger performs spatial movements to achieve more complex and varied grasping than the existing planar-movement fingers. The purpose of this hand is to grasp complex-shaped workpieces as they leave the machining centres. Among the taxonomy of grips, cylindrical and spherical grips are often used to grasp heavy objects. A combination of these two modes makes it possible to capture most of the workpieces machined with 5-axis machines. However, the change in grasping mode requires the fingers to reconfigure themselves to perform spatial movements. This solution requires the addition of two or three actuators to change the position of the fingers and requires sensors to recognize the shape of the workpiece and determine the type of grasp to be used. This article proposes to extend the notion of under-actuated fingers to spatial movements. After a presentation of the kinematics of the fingers, the problem of stability is discussed as well as the transmission of forces in this mechanism. The complete approach for calculating the stability conditions is presented from the study of Jacobian force transmission matrices. CAD representations of the hand and its behavior in spherical and cylindrical grips are presented.

description: TESS serves as a formidable tool for investigating stellar variability. Nonetheless, the adaptation of methodologies employed in other space missions, such as Kepler, to deduce long stellar rotation periods or solar-like stellar pulsations has been a challenge. The advent of multiple sectors of data for most stars every two years with the extended TESS mission, alongside enhanced stability, and the introduction of newly calibrated data sets like the Quick Look Pipeline (QLP), has significantly improved this situation. This presentation aims at describing our calibration of TESS light curves, starting from QLP raw flux and employing the Py-TADACS software — a Python package based on the Kepler asteroseismic optimised KADACS software — allowing us to dramatically improve the extraction of low-frequency signals for surface rotation and seismology. In this talk, our primary focus will be the determination of surface gravities (or 𝜈_max) of several hundred thousand subgiants and red giants (including super-luminous giants) through the utilisation of the machine learning FliPer metric as well as Py-A2Z. We will then present the comparison of our findings with previous investigations and Gaia DR3, discussing our yield statistics, problems encountered (pollution, binarity etc.), and future prospects in light of the PLATO mission.
Effects of grains' features in surface roughness scaling

description: We study the local and global roughness scaling in growth models with grains at the film surfaces. The local roughness, measured as a function of window size r, shows a crossover at a characteristic length r_c, from a rapid increase with exponent α_1 to a slower increase with exponent α_2. The result α_1\approx 1 is explained by the large height differences in the borders of the grains when compared to intragrain roughness, and must not be interpreted as a consequence of a diffusion dominated intragrain dynamics. This exponent shows a weak dependence on the shape and size distribution of the grains, and typically ranges from 0.85 for rounded grain surfaces to 1 for the sharpest ones. The scaling corrections of exactly solvable models suggest the possibility of slightly smaller values due to other smoothing effects of the surface images. The crossover length r_c provides a reasonable estimate of the average grain size in all model systems, including the cases of wide grain size distributions. In Kardar-Parisi-Zhang growth, very different values of α_2 are obtained, ranging from 0.4 for the films with smoothest surfaces to values in the range 0.1\lesssim α_2 \lesssim 0.2 for systems with large cliffs separating the grains. Possible applications to real systems which show this crossover with similar exponents are discussed.

description: The present PhD thesis combines methods of linear and nonlinear time series analysis and of dynamical systems analysis with statistical methods with aim to study and develop statistical measures computed directly on one time series and on extracted time series of oscillation features. Basic aim of this dissertation is the use of these measures for detecting dynamic changes in the brain activity of epileptic patients, as seizure approaches. In particular, two methods for determining the optimum time series model in the cases of linear and nonlinear modeling were developed, and measures based on model fitting and measures computed on features time series were defined. These measures were used for detecting dynamic change in preictal periods and they performed very well. The comparison of said measures with other, commonly used in practice, ranked them among the best

description: This paper empirically investigates the impact of additional reimbursement instruments on the diffusion of new technologies in inpatient care. Using 2010–2014 German panel data on hospital level for every patient undergoing coronary angioplasty, this study examines the utilisation of drug-eluting balloon catheters (DEB) over time while additional payment instruments changed. Hypothesising that the utilisation of DEB increased abruptly when a new reimbursement instrument came into force, we estimate a fixed effects regression comparing years with a change and years where the reimbursement instrument remained the same. The model is adjusted for patient age and severity of the disease. The utilisation of DEB increased from 8407 in 2010 to 19,065 in 2014. Hospitals used significantly more DEB when an additional payment instrument changed compared to years when it remained the same. The increase was roughly twice as large. In short, hospitals are incentivised to utilise new technologies if the reimbursement changes to an instrument that is designed in a more reliable way, e.g. including less bureaucracy or guaranteeing fixed prices.

description: With this paper we propose a model to simulate the functional aspects of light adaptation in retinal photoreceptors. Our model, however, does not link specific stages to the detailed molecular processes which are thought to mediate adaptation in real photoreceptors. We rather model the photoreceptor as a self-adjusting integration device, which adds up properly amplified luminance signals. The integration process and the amplification obey a switching behavior that acts to locally shut down the integration process in dependence on the internal state of the receptor. The mathematical structure of our model is quite simple, and its computational complexity is quite low. We present results of computer simulations which demonstrate that our model adapts properly to at least four orders of input magnitude.

Gas-phase ion-molecule chemistry of chromium nitrosyl complex CpCr(NO)₂CH₃ and coulomb interaction between ions in fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry
Creators: name: Chen, Shu-Ping
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This work is devoted to application and performance modifications of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR): (1) gas-phase chemistry of chromium nitrosyl; (2) Coulomb interactions between ions in ion cyclotron motion. Chromium nitrosyl CpCr(NO)2CH3 (Cp = η5-C5H5) produces a series of ions which has been observed to fifth kinetic order. The ions of CpCr(NO)2CH3 show many products in which the oxygen of the NO ligand is retained and the nitrogen is lost as part of a neutral product. An empirical method was proposed for calibrating nominal pressures of transition metal complexes to determine real rate constants. The Cr+ ions in an excited state can be quenched in collision with moleculesN2,H2,H20, NH3, and CH4. The ground state Cr+ ions prefer charge transfer reactions which result in different products from those of the condensation reactions of the excited state Cr+ ions. H2, H2O, NH3 and CH4 also can react with the nitrosyl ligand in CpCr(NO)2CH3 to produce the ammine ligand. A point model and a line model, which correspond more closely to physical reality than some prior models, are proposed to account for the Coulomb-induced frequency shifts observed in FT-ICR. The first model consists of two point charges which undergo cyclotron orbits with the same orbit centers at their respective frequencies. The model predicts that each excited cyclotron motion should induce a negative frequency shift in the other’s cyclotron motion. The line model, created by extension of the point model, gives rise to a position-dependent frequency shift which is synonymous with inhomogeneous Coulomb broadening. A disk model for the Coulomb shifting, unlike the point model, has a finite average radial Coulomb force. It consists of a uniformly charged disk, whose excited cyclotron motion is perturbed by a second excited, uniformly charged disk. The average radial force is found to be a function of ratio of the cyclotron radius to the disk radius. This allows characterization in terms of an “apparent Coulomb distance”. This distance, when applied in a charged-cylinder model, accounts for Coulomb-induced line broadening and frequency shifting. The charged-cylinder model agrees with experiments. Absolute mass calibration of FT-ICR spectra is enhanced by the Coulomb correction. The charged-point and charged-disk models are valid when the Coulomb interaction is much smaller than the Lorentz force. When the Coulomb force is comparable to the Lorentz force, a strong coupling interaction arises. A strong coupling Coulomb interaction for small spatial separations between two ion species is developed using a Taylor’s expansion method based on two tetragonal ion clouds. Under strong coupling, the two ion mass peaks will merge.

description: Biological information processing is generally assumed to be classical. Measured cellular energy budgets of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, however, fall orders of magnitude short of the power required to maintain classical states of protein conformation and localization at the Å, fs scales predicted by single-molecule decoherence calculations and assumed by classical molecular dynamics models. We suggest that decoherence is limited to the immediate surroundings of the cell membrane and of intercompartmental boundaries within the cell, and that bulk cellular biochemistry implements quantum information processing. Detection of Bell-inequality violations in responses to perturbation of recently-separated sister cells would provide a sensitive test of this prediction. If it is correct, modeling both intra- and intercellular communication requires quantum theory.

description: One way to unambiguously confirm the existence of particle dark matter and determine its mass would be to detect its annihilation into monochromatic gamma-rays in upcoming telescopes. One of the most minimal models for dark matter is the inert doublet model, obtained by adding another Higgs doublet with no direct coupling to fermions. For a mass between 40 and 80 GeV, the lightest of the new inert Higgs particles can give the correct cosmic abundance of cold dark matter in agreement with current observations. We show that for this scalar dark matter candidate, the annihilation signal of monochromatic γγand Zγfinal states would be exceptionally strong. The energy range and rates for these gamma-ray line signals make them ideal to search for with the soon upcoming GLAST satellite.

description: A numerical search for bosonic superconducting static vortex rings in a $U(1)_{A}\times U(1)_{W}$ model is presented. The fate of these rings without current, is to shrink due to their tension until extinction. The superconductivity of the loop does not seem to prevent shrinking. Current quenching takes place before stabilization.

description: We present a Chandra X-ray observation of G12.82-0.02, a shell-like radio supernova remnant coincident with the TeV gamma-ray source HESS J1813-178. We resolve the X-ray emission from the co-located ASCA source into a compact object surrounded by structured diffuse emission that fills the interior of the radio shell. The morphology of the diffuse emission strongly resembles that of a pulsar wind nebula. The spectrum of the compact source is well-characterized by a power-law with index approx. 1.3, typical of young and energetic rotation-powered pulsars. For a distance of 4.5 kpc, consistent with the X-ray absorption, the 2-10 keV X-ray luminosity of the putative pulsar and nebula is L(PSR) = 3.2E33 erg/s and L(PWN) = 1.4E34 erg/s, respectively. Both the flux ratio of L(PWN)/L(PSR) = 4.3 and the total luminosity of this system imply a pulsar spin-down power greater then 1E37 erg/s, on a par with the top ten most energetic young pulsars in the Galaxy. We associate the putative pulsar with the radio remnant and the TeV source and discuss the origin of the gamma-ray emission.

description: Image matting is an ill-posed problem that usually requires additional user input, such as trimaps or scribbles. Drawing a fne trimap requires a large amount of user effort, while using scribbles can hardly obtain satisfactory alpha mattes for non-professional users. Some recent deep learning-based matting networks rely on large-scale composite datasets for training to improve performance, resulting in the occasional appearance of obvious artifacts when processing natural images. In this article, we explore the intrinsic relationship between user input and alpha mattes and strike a balance between user effort and the quality of alpha mattes. In particular, we propose an interactive framework, referred to as smart scribbles, to guide users to draw few scribbles on the input images to produce high-quality alpha mattes. It frst infers the most informative regions of an image for drawing scribbles to indicate different categories (foreground, background, or unknown) and then spreads these scribbles (i.e., the category labels) to the rest of the image via our well-designed two-phase propagation. Both neighboring low-level afnities and high-level semantic features are considered during the propagation process. Our method can be optimized without large-scale matting datasets and exhibits more universality in real situations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that smart scribbles can produce more accurate alpha mattes with reduced additional input, compared to the state-of-the-art matting methods.

Measurements on Composite Qudits

description: We study measurements of the unitary generalization of Pauli operators. First, an analytical (constructive) solution to the eigenproblem of these operators is presented. Next, in the case of two subsystems, the Schmidt form of the eigenvectors is derived to identify measurements which are easy to implement. These results are utilized to show that quantum cryptography with two bases, when operating on a two-component qudit, can be realized with measurements on individual subsystems, assisted with classical communication. We also discuss feasible devices which perform tomography of polarisation-path qudits.

Gas phase ion-moleculae chemistry of an analogous series of aryl transition-metal carbonyl compounds by Fourier transformation ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry
Creators: name: Taylor, Sandra M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The gas phase ion-molecule chemistry of an analogous series of five aryl transition-metal carbonyl compounds has been examined using FT-ICR-MS techniques. Under 25 eV (positive ion) and 2.5 eV (negative ion) electron ionisation, ionic fragments of the following compounds were generated: CpV(CO)4; BzCr(CO) 3;CpMn(CO)3; BuFe(CO)3; and CpCo(CO)2; {where Cp=ƞ5-C5H5; Bz=ƞ6-C6H6;Bu=ƞ4-C4H6).Ion-molecule reaction products were temporally monitored. Kinetic analyses showed that reaction pathways for each reactive cation fragment involved interaction with the neutral parent molecule, either by electron or ligand transfer, or by condensation with simultaneous carbonyl ejection. Condensations resulted in generation of higher molecular weight polynuclear ionic cluster fragments such as: (CpV)3(CO)3+; (BzCr)2(CO)3+;and (BuFe)2(CO)+. In general, the reactivity of any cationic species varied directly with electron deficiency and coordination site availability of the central metal core. Some reactive cations exhibited unexpected reactivity patterns, despite their large formal electron deficiency, suggesting possession of unusual bonding configuration within cluster cores. Several reactive cations exhibited excited state behaviour, reacting more rapidly than their ground state counterparts. Reaction rate constants approximated those predicted by Langevin for unpolarised gas phase bimolecular processes. Smaller, highly electron-deficient daughter cations, e.g. CpV+ and BzCrCO+, were reactive with respect to some small molecular addition reagents such as ammonia or dioxygen. Several important hydride adducts were also observed. On the other hand, anion-molecule chemistry was less complicated: anion daughter fragments reacted solely by formation of one or two stable clusters; and were relatively unreactive with respect to addition reagent molecules.

description: Soft materials with a liquid component are an emerging paradigm in materials design. The incorporation of a liquid phase, such as water, liquid metals, or complex fluids, into solid materials imparts unique properties and characteristics that emerge as a result of the dramatically different properties of the liquid and solid. Especially in recent years, this has led to the development and study of a range of novel materials with new functional responses, with applications in topics including soft electronics, soft robotics, 3D printing, wet granular systems and even in cell biology. Here we provide a review of solid-liquid composites, broadly defined as a material system with at least one, phase-separated liquid component, and discuss their morphology and fabrication approaches, their emergent mechanical properties and functional response, and the broad range of their applications.

description: We present observations at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8, 24, 70 & 160um of NGC 205, the dwarf elliptical companion of M31, obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope. The point sources subtracted images at 8 and 24um display a complex and fragmented infrared emission coming from both very small dust particles and larger grains. The extended dust emission is spatially concentrated in three main emission regions, seen at all wavelengths from 8 to 160um. These regions lie approximately along NGC 205's semi-major axis and range from ~100 to 300 pc in size. Based on our mid-to-far infrared flux density measurements alone, we derive a total dust mass estimate of the order of 3.2e4 solar masses, mainly at a temperature of ~20K. The gas mass associated with this component matches the predicted mass returned by the dying stars from the last burst of star formation in NGC 205 (~0.5 Gyr ago). Analysis of the Spitzer data combined with previous 1.1mm observations over a small central region or "Core'' (18" diameter), suggest the presence of very cold (~12K) dust and a dust mass about sixteen times higher than is estimated from the Spitzer measurements alone. Assuming a gas to dust mass ratio of 100, these two datasets, i.e.with and without the millimeter observations, suggest a total gas mass range of 3.2e6 to 5e7 solar masses.

description: Several late-type stars present activity cycles resembling the Solar one. This fact has been observed mostly in stars ranging from F to K, i.e., in stars with a radiative core and an outer convective layer. This work aims at studying whether an activity cycle can be detected in the dM5.5e star Proxima Centauri, which is supposed to be completely convective. We present periodical medium-resolution echelle observations covering the complete visual range, which were taken at the CASLEO Argentinean Observatory. These observations are distributed over 7 years. We discarded the spectra that present flare activity, and analyze the remaining activity levels using four different statistical techniques to look for a period of activity. We find strong evidence of a cyclic activity, with a period of around 442 days. We also estimate that the Ca II S index varies around 130% due to activity variations outside of flares.

Power law decay of local density of states oscillations near a line defect in a system with semi-Dirac points

description: We theoretically study the power-law decay behavior of the local density of states (LDOS) oscillations near a line defect in system with semi-Dirac points by using a low-energy k.p Hamiltonian. We find that the LDOS oscillations are strongly anisotropic and sensitively depend on the orientation of the line defect. We analytically obtain the decay indexes of the LDOS oscillations near a line defect running along different directions by using the stationary phase approximation. Specifically, when the line defect is perpendicular to the linear dispersion direction, the decay index is -5/4 whereas it becomes -1/4 if the system is gapped, both of which are different from the decay index -3/2 in isotropic Dirac systems. In contrast, when the line defect is perpendicular to the parabolic dispersion direction, the decay index is always -1/2 regardless of whether the system is gapped or not, which is the same as that in a conventional semimetal. In general, when the defect runs along an arbitrary direction, the decay index sensitively depends on the incident energy for a certain orientation of the line defect. It varies from -5/4 to -1/2 due to the absence of strict stationary phase point. Our results indicate that the decay index -5/4 provides a fingerprint to identify semi-Dirac points in 2D electron systems.
