Analytical modeling of modern microprocessor performance
Creators: name: Chen, Xi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: As the number of transistors integrated on a chip continues to increase, a growing challenge is accurately modeling performance in the early stages of processor design. Analytical modeling is an alternative to detailed simulation with the potential to shorten the development cycle and provide additional insight. This thesis proposes hybrid analytical models to predict the impact of pending cache hits, hardware prefetching, and realistic miss status holding register (MSHR) resources on superscalar performance. We propose techniques to model the non-negligible influences of pending hits and the fine-grained selection of instruction profile window blocks on the accuracy of hybrid analytical models. We also present techniques to estimate the performance impact of data prefetching by modeling the timeliness of prefetches and to account for a limited number of MSHRs by restricting the size of profile window blocks. As with earlier hybrid analytical models, our approach is roughly two orders of magnitude faster than detailed simulations. Overall, our techniques reduce the error of our baseline from 39.7% to 10.3% when the number of MSHRs is unlimited. When modeling a processor with data prefetching, a limited number of MSHRs, or both, our techniques result in an average error of 13.8%, 9.5% and 17.8%, respectively. Moreover, this thesis proposes analytical models for predicting the cache contention and throughput of heavily fine-grained multithreaded architectures such as Sun Microsystems' Niagara. We first propose a novel probabilistic model using statistics characterizing individual threads run in isolation as inputs to accurately predict the number of extra cache misses due to cache contention among a large number of threads. We then present a Markov chain model for analytically estimating the throughput of multicore, fine-grained multithreaded architectures. Combined, the two models accurately predict system throughput obtained from a detailed simulator with an average error of 8.3% for various cache configurations. We also show that our models can find the same optimized design point of fine-grained multithreaded chip multiprocessors for application-specific workloads 65 times faster than detailed simulations. Furthermore, we show that our models accurately predict cache contention and throughput trends across varying workloads on real hardware, a Sun Fire T1000 server.

description: ColorVideoVDP is a video and image quality metric that models spatial and temporal aspects of vision, for both luminance and color. The metric is built on novel psychophysical models of chromatic spatiotemporal contrast sensitivity and cross-channel contrast masking. It accounts for the viewing conditions, geometric, and photometric characteristics of the display. It was trained to predict common video streaming distortions (e.g. video compression, rescaling, and transmission errors), and also 8 new distortion types related to AR/VR displays (e.g. light source and waveguide non-uniformities). To address the latter application, we collected our novel XR-Display-Artifact-Video quality dataset (XR-DAVID), comprised of 336 distorted videos. Extensive testing on XR-DAVID, as well as several datasets from the literature, indicate a significant gain in prediction performance compared to existing metrics. ColorVideoVDP opens the doors to many novel applications which require the joint automated spatiotemporal assessment of luminance and color distortions, including video streaming, display specification and design, visual comparison of results, and perceptually-guided quality optimization.

description: The Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) carries a huge astrophysical and cosmological content: its frequency spectrum and redshift evolution are determined by the integrated emission of unresolved sources, these being galaxies, active galactic nuclei, or more exotic components. The near-UV region of the EBL spectrum is currently not well constrained, yet a significant improvement can be expected thanks to the soon-to-be launched Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT). Intended to study transient events in the $2300-2900\,{\rm Å}$ observed band, this detector will provide wide field maps, tracing the UV intensity fluctuations on the largest scales. In this paper, we suggest how to exploit ULTRASAT to reconstruct the redshift evolution of the UV-EBL volume emissivity. We build upon the work of Chiang et al. (2019), where the Clustering-Based Redshift (CBR) technique was used to study diffuse light maps from GALEX. Their results showed the capability of the cross correlation between GALEX and SDSS spectroscopic catalogs in constraining the UV emissivity, highlighting how CBR is sensitive only to the extragalactic emissions, avoiding foregrounds and Galactic contributions. In our analysis, we introduce a framework to forecast the CBR constraining power when applied to ULTRASAT and GALEX in cross correlation with the 5-year DESI spectroscopic survey. We show that these will yield a strong improvement in the measurement of the UV-EBL volume emissivity. For $λ= 1500\,{\rm Å}$,non-ionizing continuum below $z \sim 2$, we forecast a $1σ$ uncertainty $\lesssim 26\%\,(9\%)$ with conservative (optimistic) bias priors using ULTRASAT full-sky map; similar constraints can be obtained from its low-cadence survey, which will provide a smaller but deeper map. We finally discuss how these results will foster our understanding of UV-EBL models.

description: This lecture part illustrates how, when we bring N identical potential wells (or atoms) together, the individual well or atomic energy levels split into N different coupled energy levels, which we can view as forming a "band" of energies or states. These wavefunctions tend to be a product of a "unit cell" function that is approximately the same in each unit cell or period, and a larger envelope function, which is approximately a large sinusoid.

description: Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) comprises detection and analysis of non-cooperative targets by exploiting the resources of the mobile radio system. In this context, micro-Doppler is of great importance for target classification, in order to distinguish objects with local movements. For developing algorithms for target classification, it is necessary to have a large amount of target signatures. Aiming to generate these data, this paper proposes a mathematical model for the micro-Doppler of drone rotating propellers, and validate the proposed model by comparing it to measured micro-Doppler. Results show that the proposed mathematical model can generate micro-Doppler data very similar to those from measurement data.

Calcium-decorated boron-doped graphene for high-capacity hydrogen storage
Creators: name: Beheshti Zavareh, Elham
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Hydrogen has been viewed as a clean synthetic energy carrier that could replace fossil fuels, especially for transport applications. One bottleneck in developing a hydrogen economy is to find feasible and safe storage materials that can store hydrogen with high gravimetric and volumetric densities at ambient conditions. The U.S. depart ment of energy has set a system target of 6 wt.% hydrogen storage density by 2010 and 9 wt.% by 2015, which has not been met yet. In this thesis, hydrogen adsorption and storage in calcium-decorated boron-doped graphene is studied by ab initio calculations using density functional theory (DFT). We first consider pure graphene coated with calcium atoms on both sides, supposing that metal atoms are dispersed uniformly on the surface with a calcium coverage of 25%. We find that up to four hydrogen molecules can bind to a Ca atom, which results in a storage capacity of 8.32 wt.%. Then, we address the issue of metal adsorbate clustering. Our calculations show that Ca clustering takes place on pristine graphene because of the small binding energy of Ca to graphene. One way to enhance the metal adsorption strength on the graphene plane is to dope graphene with acceptors such as boron atoms. We show that upon boron doping with a concentration of 12 at.%, the clustering problem could be prevented and the resulting gravimetric capacity is 8.38 wt.% hydrogen.

description: The geometry of the neutral gas in and around galaxies is a key regulator of the escape of ionizing photons. We present the first statistical study aiming at linking the neutral and ionized gas distributions to the Lyman continuum (LyC) escape fraction (fesc(LyC)) in a sample of 22 confirmed LyC leakers and non-leakers at z~0.35 using the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (Keck/KCWI) and the Low Resolution Spectrograph 2 (HET/LRS2). Our integral field unit data enable the detection of neutral and low-ionization gas, as traced by Mg II, and ionized gas, as traced by [O II], extending beyond the stellar continuum for 7 and 10 objects, respectively. All but one object with extended Mg II emission also shows extended [O II] emission; in this case, Mg II emission is always more extended than [O II] by a factor 1.3 on average. Most of the galaxies with extended emission are non or weak LyC leakers (fesc(LyC) < 5%), but we find a large diversity of neutral gas configurations around these weakly LyC-emitting galaxies. Conversely, the strongest leakers (fesc(LyC) > 10%) appear uniformly compact in both Mg II and [O II] with exponential scale lengths <1 kpc. We also find a trend between fesc(LyC) and the spatial offsets of the nebular gas and the stellar continuum emission. Moreover, we find significant anti-correlations between the spatial extent of the neutral gas and the [O III]/[O II] ratio, and H$β$ equivalent width, as well as positive correlations with metallicity and UV size, suggesting that galaxies with more compact neutral gas sizes are more highly ionized. The observations suggest that strong LyC emitters do not have extended neutral gas halos and ionizing photons may be emitted in many directions. Combined with high ionization diagnostics, we propose the Mg II, and potentially [O II], spatial compactness are indirect indicators of LyC emitting galaxies at high-redshift.

description: Cybersecurity remains a critical challenge in the digital age, with network traffic flow anomaly detection being a key pivotal instrument in the fight against cyber threats. In this study, we address the prevalent issue of data integrity in network traffic datasets, which are instrumental in developing machine learning (ML) models for anomaly detection. We introduce two refined versions of the CICIDS-2017 dataset, NFS-2023-nTE and NFS-2023-TE, processed using NFStream to ensure methodologically sound flow expiration and labeling. Our research contrasts the performance of the Random Forest (RF) algorithm across the original CICIDS-2017, its refined counterparts WTMC-2021 and CRiSIS-2022, and our NFStream-generated datasets, in both binary and multi-class classification contexts. We observe that the RF model exhibits exceptional robustness, achieving consistent high-performance metrics irrespective of the underlying dataset quality, which prompts a critical discussion on the actual impact of data integrity on ML efficacy. Our study underscores the importance of continual refinement and methodological rigor in dataset generation for network security research. As the landscape of network threats evolves, so must the tools and techniques used to detect and analyze them.

description: Aims: During its all-sky survey phase, the eROSITA X-ray telescope onboard SRG scans through the ecliptic poles every 4 hours. This extensive data set of long-duration, frequent, and consistent observations of thousands of X-ray sources is ideal for a detailed long-term X-ray variability analysis. However, individual observations are short, are separated by long but consistent gaps, and have varying exposure times. Therefore, the identification of variable sources, and the characterisation and quantification of their variability requires a unique methodology. We aim to develop and evaluate such methods for eROSITA observations, focusing on sources close to the survey poles.
 Methods: We simulate eROSITA-like light curves to evaluate and quantify the effect of survey mode observations on the measured periodogram and normalised excess variance. We introduce a new method for estimating the normalised intrinsic variance of a source based on the Bayesian excess variance (bexvar) method.
 Results: We determine thresholds for identifying likely variable sources while minimising the false-positive rate, as a function of the number of bins, and the average count rate in the light curve. The bexvar normalised intrinsic variance estimate is significantly more accurate than the normalised excess variance method in the Poisson regime. At high count rates, the two methods are comparable. We quantify the scatter in the intrinsic variance of a stationary pink noise process, and investigate how to reduce it. Finally, we determine a description of the excess noise in a periodogram caused by varying exposure times throughout a light curve. Although most of these methods were developed specifically for analysing variable AGN in the eROSITA all-sky survey, they can also be used for the variability analysis of other datasets from other telescopes, with slight modifications.

Cells were mock-infected with saline, and incubated at 37 °C (7 % CO2). After 24 h, the monolayer was visualized at 400X magnification. The medium was discarded, cells were washed in 0.5 mL 1X HBSS, and visualized again. The F-12 periphery monolayer looks similar before (A) and after (B) the HBSS wash. In contrast, the 60 % ASMDM shows cell detachment (arrows) before (C) the HBSS wash, and there are larger, more noticeable gaps are seen after the wash (D). (DOCX 1977 kb)

description: Aims: During the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG)/ eROSITA all-sky surveys, X-ray sources close to the South Ecliptic Pole (SEP) are observed almost every 4 hours. We aim to identify the sources exhibiting the most significant long-term X-ray variability within 3 degrees of the SEP in the first three surveys, and investigate their properties.
 Methods: We determined the variability significance of all sources observed by eROSITA within 3 degrees of the SEP by using thresholds on the Bayesian excess variance (SCATT_LO) and the maximum amplitude deviation (AMPL_SIG). Sources exhibiting a variability significance above $3σ$ were subdivided into likely Galactic and extragalactic sources, by using spectral and photometric information of their optical counterparts. We quantified the X-ray normalised excess variances of all variable sources, and also calculated the periodograms of the brightest ones.
 Results: Out of more than $10^4$ X-ray sources detected by eROSITA within 3 degrees of the SEP, we identified 453 that exhibit significant X-ray variability. SCATT_LO is significantly more sensitive to detecting variable sources in this field, but AMPL_SIG helps provide a more complete variability sample. Of those variable sources, 168 were classified as likely extragalactic, and 235 as likely Galactic. The periodograms of most bright and variable extragalactic sources are approximately described by an aliased power law ($P\proptoν^{-α}$) with an index of $α\approx 1$. We identified a potential tidal disruption event, and long-term transient sources. The stellar X-ray variability was predominantly caused by bright X-ray flares from coronally active stars.

description: Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) such as Pratylenchus spp., Helicotylenchus spp., and Radopholus spp. amongst others are a major constraint to sustainable bananas (Musa spp.) production, (Stover and Simmonds 1987) and have been identified as a major factor contributing to declining production (Speijer et al., 1999) especially among small holder farmers. The root burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, has been reported as the most destructive nematode parasite of banana in the tropics (Gowen, 1993). To avert the yield reducing constraints due to nematode infestations, timely management and control of these bio-constraints is warranted. Nematodes can be controlled with chemicals, however, most of these chemicals have adverse effects to the environment and human health (Nyczepir and Thomas 2009). Furthermore, chemical nematicides are too expensive for the small holder farmers (Savangikar 2004). Besides other nematode control and management strategies, development of nematode resistant banana genotypes through breeding is a promising strategy for the management of nematode infection in banana (Speijer and De Waele, 1997). This standard operating procedure focuses on screening banana breeding genotypes for resistance to R. similis.

description: We aim at advancing our understanding of magnetic activity and the underlying dynamo mechanism at the end of the main-sequence. To this end, we collected simultaneous X-ray and radio observations for a sample of M7-L0 dwarfs using XMM-Newton jointly with the JVLA and the ATCA. We also included data from the all-sky surveys of eROSITA on board the Russian Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma mission (SRG) and rotation periods from TESS together with an archival compilation of X-ray and radio data for UCDs from the literature. We limit the sample to objects with rotation period <1d, focusing on the study of a transition in magnetic behavior suggested by a drastic change in the radio detection rate at vsini \approx 38 km/s. We compiled the most up-to-date radio/X-ray luminosity relation for 26 UCDs with rotation periods lower than 1d, finding that rapid rotators lie the furthest away from the Güdel-Benz relation previously studied for earlier-type stars. Radio bursts are mainly experienced by very fast UCDs, while X-ray flares are seen along the whole range of rotation. We examined the L_{\rm x}/L_{\rm bol} vs P_{\rm rot} relation, finding no evident relation between the X-ray emission and rotation, reinforcing previous speculations on a bimodal dynamo across late-type dwarfs. One radio-detected object has a rotation period consistent with the range of auroral bursting sources; while it displays moderately circularly polarized emission. A radio flare from this object is interpreted as gyrosynchrotron emission, and it displays X-ray and optical flares. We also found a slowly rotating apparent auroral emitter, that is also one of the X-ray brightest radio-detected UCDs. We speculate that this UCD is experiencing a transition of its magnetic behavior since it produces signatures expected from higher mass M dwarfs along with emerging evidence of auroral emission.

description: Allogalumna alamellae (Jacot, 1935) (195e,f)
Diagnose: ss keulenförmig, grob bedornt; le und in lang, Abstand in-in größer als le-le; NG-Vorderand vorn offen, Aa ungeteilt, klein, rundlich; A1-A3 klein, rund-oval; zentral auf NG zwischen A2 mit kleinem Porenpunkt; Körperlänge 400-430 µm.
Syn., Tax.: Galumna alamellae Jacot, 1935. Nom. nov. für " Galumna alatus " sensu Willmann 1931 (B).
- Willmanns Art ist offensichtlich nicht G. alata (Hermann, 1804), deshalb benannte Jacot (1935b) die Art neu. Seine Beschreibung basierte jedoch auf Material von Grandjean aus Frankreich. Gleichzeitig beschrieb Jacot eine Unterart G. alamellae italicum. Die Unterschiede werden heute als ungesichert angesehen; die Differenzierung beider Arten in Ghilarov & Krivoluckij (1975) ist nicht aufrechtzuerhalten, da die Arten dort in mancher Hinsicht fehlinterpretiert werden (z.B. angeblich nur mit 3 Paar Areae porosae), was sich aus der vorliegenden Nachuntersuchung von Willmanns Präparat erwiesen hat.
Allogalumna alamellae: Grandjean 1936b; Perez-Inigo 1993 (B).
-? Galumna alamellae italicum Jacot, 1935. Allogalumna i.: Ghilarov & Krivoluckij 1975. -? Allogalumna neerlandica Hammen, 1952 (die Art soll sich durch spindelförmigen Sensillus unterscheiden): Synonym nach Perez-Inigo 1872a. Die Typenstudien an Berlese-Arten durch Mahunka (1992) legen den Verdacht nahe, daß einerseits A. alamellae mit Allogalumna parva (Berlese, 1916) aus Italien identisch ist, andererseits A. neerlandica mit A. integer (Berlese, 1904).

description: Evolutionary models suggest that the initial growth phases of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are dust-enshrouded, and characterised by jet/wind outflows that should gradually clear the interstellar medium (ISM) in the host by heating and/or expelling the surrounding gas. eFEDSJ091157.4$+$014327 (z$\sim$0.6) was selected from X-ray samples for its characteristics that are similar to sources with outflows which include red, obscured and X-ray luminous. We aim to explore the environment around this red quasar and characterise kinematics within the system. We used spatially resolved spectroscopic data from Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) with an average seeing of 0.6" to construct flux, velocity and velocity dispersions maps. We found that the quasar is embedded in an interacting and merging system with three other galaxies $\sim$ 50 kpc from its nucleus. Spatially resolved kinematics reveal that the quasar has extended ionised outflows of up to 9.2 kpc with positive and negative velocities up to 1000 km s$^{-1}$ and -1200 km s$^{-1}$, respectively. The velocity dispersion (W$_{80}$) ranges from 600-1800 km s$^{-1}$. We associate the presence of turbulent and high-velocity components with the outflow. The total mass outflow rate is estimated to be $\sim$ 10 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ and kinetic power of 2x10$^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$. The kinetic coupling efficiencies range from 0.01%-0.03% and the momentum boosts are $\sim$ 0.2. These low values indicate that the ionised outflow is not energetically relevant. These values don't align with the theoretical predictions of both radiation-pressure-driven outflows and energy-conserving mechanisms. However, note that our results are based only on the ionised phase while theoretical predictions are multiphase. Moreover, the mass loading factor of $\sim$ 5 is an indication that these outflows are more likely AGN-driven than star formation-driven.

Modern Physics for Engineers Lecture slides 06d – The nature of the particle-in-a-box solutions
Creators: name: Miller, David
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2025
Subjects: Particle in a box
Zero-point energy
Parity of a wavefunction
Quantum confinement

description: This lecture part uses the solutions to the particle-in-a-box problem to illustrate several general behaviors found in quantum mechanics, including the notion of only specific allowed energy "states", quantum numbers that label these states, the notion of "parity" or odd or even symmetry of wavefunctions, and other quantum mechanical behaviors, including "zero-point energy", and points in space that the electron in a given state will never be found. This particle-in-a-box problem allows simple estimates of the energies of quantum mechanical electron states when the electron is "quantum-confined" in a small space.
