Linking demographic history and evolution at the expanding range edge of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis)
Creators: name: Elleouet, Joane Simone
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Anthropogenic climate change is shifting species ranges and exerting high selection pressures on populations of all taxa, including trees. Temperate tree species of the northern hemisphere share a history of large-scale postglacial colonization during the Quaternary, providing a natural laboratory for the study of evolutionary responses to climate fluctuations. This dissertation aims at improving our understanding of the mutual influences of demography and evolutionary patterns during range expansions in trees using Picea sitchensis (Sitka spruce) as a focal species. I first focused on the most recent P. sitchensis expansion event in south-central Alaska to study the interplay between demography and population genetics by combining neutral genetic markers and tree ring data. This multidisciplinary approach allowed me to assess the pace of neutral evolution across five centuries of colonization. Allelic richness was efficiently recovered in the colonizing population by early, open-grown colonizers on the Kodiak Archipelago during a long phase of low population growth. However, heterozygosity remains low compared with the nearest mainland populations. These results highlight the long-term importance of early colonizing genotypes in genetics of populations and the influence of pollen dispersal in maintaining standing genetic variation during forest expansion. Local hybridization of P. sitchensis colonizers with foreign pollen from white spruce (Picea glauca) populations occurred repeatedly during the early colonization period. However, introgression was suppressed in subsequent generations growing under a closed canopy. As the two species occupy separate climatic niches, selection against hybrids, intensified by competition, might explain this pattern. Spring precipitation tended to affect hybrid growth more negatively than pure P. sitchensis genotypes, but this effect was nonsignificant. I finally assessed the extent to which demographic parameters of range expansion can be estimated from genomic data through simulations using the approximate Bayesian computation framework. Simple 3-parameter models could be successfully estimated with genetic markers developed from reduced-representation methods currently available for nonmodel species. Models of higher complexity presented challenges, especially when ongoing migration after expansion was considered, and the accuracy of results depended on the time of expansion. The demic expansion models examined here were inadequate to infer the colonization history of P. sitchensis.

description: Basic SiC bipolar transistors have been studied in the past for their applications where high power or high temperature operation is required. However since the current gain in SiC bipolar transistors is very low and therefore, a large base drive is required in high current applications. Therefore, it is important to enhance the current gain of SiC bipolar transistors. Using two dimensional mixed mode device and circuit simulation, for the first time, we report a new Darlington transistor formed using two polytypes 3C-SiC and 4H-SiC having a very high current gain as a result of the heterojunction formation between the emitter and the base of transistor. The reasons for the improved performance are analyzed.

description: We consider deflection of rotating symmetric molecules by inhomogeneous optical and static electric fields, compare results with the case of linear molecules, and find new singularities in the distribution of the scattering angle. Scattering of the prolate/oblate molecules is analyzed in detail, and it is shown that the process can be efficiently controlled by means of short and strong femtosecond laser pulses. In particular, the angular dispersion of the deflected molecules may be dramatically reduced by laser-induced molecular pre-alignment. We first study the problem by using a simple classical model, and then find similar results by means of more sophisticated methods, including the formalism of adiabatic invariants and direct numerical simulation of the Euler-Lagrange equations of motion. The suggested control scheme opens new ways for many applications involving molecular focusing, guiding, and trapping by optical and static fields.

description: We perform high resolution N-body simulations for f(R) gravity based on a self-adaptive particle- mesh code MLAPM. The Chameleon mechanism that recovers General Relativity on small scales is fully taken into account by self-consistently solving the non-linear equation for the scalar field. We independently confirm the previous simulation results, including the matter power spectrum, halo mass function and density profiles, obtained by Oyaizu et al. (Phys.Rev.D 78, 123524, 2008) and Schmidt et al. (Phys.Rev.D 79, 083518, 2009), and extend the resolution up to k~20 h/Mpc for the measurement of the matter power spectrum. Based on our simulation results, we discuss how the Chameleon mechanism affects the clustering of dark matter and halos on full non-linear scales.

We give an explicit sharp bound on the irregularity if $X$ is canonical or regular. In particular, we show that wild canonical del Pezzo surfaces exist only in characteristic 2. As an application, we deduce that canonical del Pezzo surfaces form a bounded family over $\mathbb{Z}$, generalising work of Tanaka. More generally, we prove the BAB conjecture on the boundedness of $\varepsilon$-klt del Pezzo surfaces over arbitrary fields of characteristic different from 2, 3, and 5.

description: Viruses present an amazing genetic variability. An ensemble of infecting viruses, also called a viral quasispecies, is a cloud of mutants centered around a specific genotype. The simplest model of evolution, whose equilibrium state is described by the quasispecies equation, is the Moran--Kingman model. For the sharp peak landscape, we perform several exact computations and we derive several exact formulas. We obtain also an exact formula for the quasispecies distribution, involving a series and the mean fitness. A very simple formula for the mean Hamming distance is derived, which is exact and which do not require a specific asymptotic expansion (like sending the length of the macromolecules to $\infty$ or the mutation probability to $0$). We try also to extend these formulas to a general fitness landscape. We obtain an equation involving the covariance of the fitness and the Hamming class number in the quasispecies distribution. With the help of these formulas, we discuss the phenomenon of the error threshold and the notion of quasispecies. We recover the limiting quasipecies distribution in the long chain regime. We go beyond the sharp peak landscape and we consider fitness landscapes having finitely many peaks and a plateau--type landscape. We finally prove rigorously within this framework the possible occurrence of the survival of the flattest, a phenomenon which has been previously discovered by Wilke, Wang, Ofria, Lenski and Adami and which has been investigated in several works.

description: The construction of an alternative electromagnetic theory that preserves Lorentz and gauge symmetries, is considered. We start off by building up Maxwell electrodynamics in (3+1)D from the assumption that the associated Lagrangian is a gauge-invariant functional that depends on the electron and photon fields and their first derivatives only. In this scenario, as well-known, it is not possible to set up a Lorentz invariant gauge theory containing a massive photon. We show nevertheless that there exist two radically different electrodynamics, namely, the Chern-Simons and the Podolsky formulations, in which this problem can be overcome. The former is only valid in odd space-time dimensions, while the latter requires the presence of higher-order derivatives of the gauge field in the Lagrangian. This theory, usually known as Podolsky electrodynamics, is simultaneously gauge and Lorentz invariant; in addition, it contains a massive photon. Therefore, a massive photon, unlike the popular belief, can be adequately accommodated within the context of a gauge-invariant electrodynamics.

Донная фауна озер включает 32 вида донных беспозвоночных из 4 классов: Gastropoda (1), Crustacea (1), Arachnida (1), Insecta (29). Выявлены доминирующие виды, определена численность и биомасса бентоса в прибрежных и центральных зонах озер. В различных озерах средняя биомасса макрозообентоса колебалась от 0 до 19,55 г/м2, а число видов от 0 до 12, что в основном, вероятно, определялось величиной минерализации вод (от гипогалинного до гипергалинного уровня).In 2017, the composition and community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates from 7 lakes (i.e. Balansor, B. Tassor, Gor’koyer, Zalivnoye, Korostyle’vskoye, L’apunikha and Shuba) in the dry steppe subzone of the Ob-Irtysh interfluve (Uglovsky region, Altai Krai) were studied. The benthic fauna of lakes consists of 32 species of benthic invertebrates from 4 classes: Gastropoda (1), Crustacea (1), Arachnida (1) and Insecta (29). The dominant species were identified, and the benthos abundance and biomass in the coastal and central zones of the lakes were determined. In different lakes the average biomass of macrozoobenthos varied from 0 to 19,55 g/m2, and the number of species from 0 to 12 that probably depended on water salinity (from hypohaline to hypehaline level).

description: We generalize our recent approach to reconstruction of phase dynamics of coupled oscillators from data [B. Kralemann et al., Phys. Rev. E, 77, 066205 (2008)] to cover the case of small networks of coupled periodic units. Starting from the multivariate time series, we first reconstruct genuine phases and then obtain the coupling functions in terms of these phases. The partial norms of these coupling functions quantify directed coupling between oscillators. We illustrate the method by different network motifs for three coupled oscillators and for random networks of five and nine units. We also discuss nonlinear effects in coupling.

Ohm's Law for Plasma in General Relativity and Cowling's Theorem

description: The general-relativistic Ohm's law for a two-component plasma which includes the gravitomagnetic force terms even in the case of quasi-neutrality has been derived. The equations that describe the electromagnetic processes in a plasma surrounding a neutron star are obtained by using the general relativistic form of Maxwell equations in a geometry of slow rotating gravitational object. In addition to the general-relativistic effect first discussed by Khanna \& Camenzind (1996) we predict a mechanism of the generation of azimuthal current under the general relativistic effect of dragging of inertial frames on radial current in a plasma around neutron star. The azimuthal current being proportional to the angular velocity $ω$ of the dragging of inertial frames can give valuable contribution on the evolution of the stellar magnetic field if $ω$ exceeds $2.7\times 10^{17} (n/σ) \textrm{s}^{-1}$ ($n$ is the number density of the charged particles, $σ$ is the conductivity of plasma). Thus in general relativity a rotating neutron star, embedded in plasma, can in principle generate axial-symmetric magnetic fields even in axisymmetry. However, classical Cowling's antidynamo theorem, according to which a stationary axial-symmetric magnetic field can not be sustained against ohmic diffusion, has to be hold in the general-relativistic case for the typical plasma being responsible for the rotating neutron star.

description: We present results from several years of fast optical photometry of 4U0614+091 (V1055 Orionis), a candidate ultracompact X-ray binary most likely consisting of a neutron star and a degenerate secondary. We find evidence for strong accretion-driven variability at all epochs, that manifests itself as red noise. This flickering produces transient peaks in the observed power spectrum in the 15-65 min period range. Only in one of our 12 optical datasets can we see evidence for a period that cannot be reproduced using the red noise model. This period of 51 minutes coincides with the strongest period detected by Shahbaz et al. (2008) and can thus be taken as the prime candidate for the orbital period of the system. Furthermore, we find some tentative evidence for the X-ray vs. optical flux anticorrelation discovered by Machin et al. (1990) using our data together with the all-sky X-ray monitoring data from RXTE/ASM. We propose that the complex time series behaviour of 4U0614+09 is a result of drastic changes in the accretion disc geometry/structure on time scales from hours to days. Finally we want to draw attention to the interpretation of moderately strong peaks in the power spectra of, especially accreting, sources. Many of such "periods" can probably be attributed to the presence of red noise (i.e. correlated events) in the data.

description: The CDS is a science driven data centre for reference astronomy data. The objectives have been defined since its creation in 1972: collecting, improving and distributing data for the international astronomical community.

 However, science and techniques have significantly evolved over the past 50 years, resulting in a deluge of data in terms of both quantity and complexity.

 The CDS has been able to constantly adapt to these evolutions to offer the community appropriate services and quality data with high added value.

 In this presentation we will focus mainly on the impact of these changes on the skills of the CDS data stewards, the so-called documentalists, in terms of specialisation, adaptation to technologies and understanding of data taking into account the evolution of astronomy. All this while ensuring a high level of quality and quick availability of the data.

We consider the problem of communicating as much quantum information, as measured by the qubit rate, through this quantum information wire as possible. We describe a protocol whereby Alice and Bob can achieve a qubit rate for these systems which is proportional to N^(-1/3) qubits per unit time, where N is the number of lattice sites. Our protocol also functions equally in the presence of interactions modelled via the t-J and Hubbard models.

description: On the basis of the Carter-Israel conjecture, today we believe that some compact and massive objects in the Galaxy and in the Universe are Kerr black holes. However, this idea cannot yet be confirmed by observations. We can currently obtain reliable estimates of the masses of these objects, but we do not know if the space-time around them is described by the Kerr metric and if they have an event horizon. A fundamental limit for a Kerr black hole is the Kerr bound $|a_*| \le 1$. Here I discuss some astrophysical implications associated with the violation of this bound, which can thus be used to test the Carter-Israel conjecture.

Climate change and cultural heritage
Creators: name: Quinlan, Sara
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Natural hazards such as flooding, hurricanes, and wildfires threaten cultural heritage throughout the United States. Although disaster management for cultural heritage has improved over the last few decades, the threat of climate change increases the frequency and severity of these hazards, requiring unique planning and mitigation actions. While states and local municipalities would typically look to the federal government for financial resources and technical assistance to develop these planning tools, the Trump Administration denies the existence of human-induced climate change. Therefore, state and local governments are solely responsible to prepare their communities as well as their valuable cultural heritage and historic resources for the impacts of climate change.This thesis seeks to demonstrate the importance of integrating climate change planning into state and local hazard mitigation plans for historic resources. By reviewing changes made by the Trump Administration to climate change planning and their likely impacts on cultural heritage, this thesis establishes the need for local climate change planning efforts to start immediately in light of this unpredictable change. The research conducted for this study involved assessments of existing state and local hazard mitigation plans in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Annapolis, Maryland, to determine best practices for integrating climate change planning into disaster management for historic resources. By identifying best practices, this thesis aims to illustrate how state and local level disaster management can prepare for the effects of climate change on historic resources despite the fact that the federal administrationdenies its existence.

In the thermodynamic formalism, there are phase transition-like phenomena close to the q=1 region. We develop a theoretical model for this based on the superposition of two multifractal sets, which can be associated with the different statistical properties of coding and non-coding DNA sequences. This model is in good agreement with the human chromosome data.

Dissolved organic carbon in lakes: effects on thermal structure, primary production, and hypolimnetic metabolism

description: Watershed characteristics determine the inputs of dissolved organic carbon (D O C) and nutrients into lakes. In-lake processes modify these inputs to determine lake characteristics. I examined the role of allochthonous DOC as a m aster variable that affects the thermal structure of lakes during summer stratification, primary production, ecosystem respiration, and dynam ics of the biota. I combined comparative studies, theoretical modeling, and ecosystem experiments to address the following questions: 1) Is light important in the interactions of algal biomass and DOC concentrations? 2) How does the input of allochthonous nutrients (which affects chlorophyll concentrations) and DOC (which determines water color) affect lake thermal structure? 3) What effect does DOC have on hvpolimnetic metabolism? 4) Do short-term fluctuations in food-web structure have long-term effects on lake nutrient dynamics and primary production?

Data-driven predictive analytics for water infrastructure condition assessment and management
Creators: name: Shi, Fang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: In North American, aging water infrastructure continually challenges communities’ safety. An efficient infrastructure management system is thus required to manage deteriorating pipeline systems. However, there are several challenges in the water infrastructure management. For instance, water systems are often buried underground, making regular inspection and asset condition evaluation difficult. Furthermore, pipe working environment is always complex and not well-understood. In this thesis, data-driven approaches were used to address these challenges. The first study examines the relationship between soil properties and cast iron water main deterioration condition. The effects of soil properties on pipe failure were visualized and analyzed. Additionally, a stacking ensemble based method was proposed to overcome the drawbacks of the individual models by optimally combining the predictive results from multiple learners. Using soil property data, a single-model and an ensemble-model were developed to predict the pipe condition. The prediction results demonstrated that the proposed ensemble method outperforms the existing single models. Next, to investigate the structural response of pipelines to varying soil movements, a machine learning based framework was proposed to predict pipe deformations. The critical predictors contributing to the pipe deformations were first identified by random forest-recursive feature elimination algorithm. Super learning based methods were then employed to predict pipe deformations considering the selected feature subsets. Based on the prediction performance, the scalability and superiority of super learning was validated. Finally, a novel risk analysis approach was investigated by developing both condition rating and consequence models. For condition evaluation, multiple regression analyses were conducted for pipe structural and operational condition rating, respectively. A geographical information system based method was then applied to determine the multi-variant weighting system criteria for economic, operational, environmental, and social impacts. Finally, a risk matrix was used to integrate the results of condition grades and failure consequence scores, allowing the high-risk areas to be identified. With the data-driven methodology employed in this research, a cloud-based infrastructure management system which can accommodate the data-driven analysis, was designed to support the decision making for pipe system inspection, maintenance, and rehabilitation.
Convergence of the derivative martingale for the branching random walk in time-inhomogeneous random environment

description: Consider a branching random walk on the real line with a random environment in time (BRWRE). A necessary and sufficient condition for the non-triviality of the limit of the derivative martingale is formulated. To this end, we investigate the random walk in time-inhomogeneous random environment (RWRE), which related the BRWRE by the many-to-one formula. The key step is to figure out Tanaka's decomposition for the RWRE conditioned to stay non-negative (or above a line), which is interesting itself as well.

description: In this paper, we demonstrate that the performance of silicon Schottky rectifiers on SOI can be significantly improved using a Lateral Dual Sidewall Schottky (LDSS) concept. Our results based on numerical simulation show that the LDSS structure on SOI has low forward voltage drop and low reverse leakage current while its breakdown voltage is significantly larger than that of a conventional Schottky rectifier.

How light can the lightest neutralino be?

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this talk we summarize previous work on mass bounds of a light neutralino in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We show that without the GUT relation between the gaugino mass parameters M_1 and M_2, the mass of the lightest neutralino is essentially unconstrained by collider bounds and precision observables. We conclude by considering also the astrophysics and cosmology of a light neutralino.

On the estimation of the curvatures and bending rigidity of membrane networks via a local maximum-entropy approach

description: We present a meshfree method for the curvature estimation of membrane networks based on the Local Maximum Entropy approach recently presented in (Arroyo and Ortiz, 2006). A continuum regularization of the network is carried out by balancing the maximization of the information entropy corresponding to the nodal data, with the minimization of the total width of the shape functions. The accuracy and convergence properties of the given curvature prediction procedure are assessed through numerical applications to benchmark problems, which include coarse grained molecular dynamics simulations of the fluctuations of red blood cell membranes (Marcelli et al., 2005; Hale et al., 2009). We also provide an energetic discrete-to-continuum approach to the prediction of the zero-temperature bending rigidity of membrane networks, which is based on the integration of the local curvature estimates. The Local Maximum Entropy approach is easily applicable to the continuum regularization of fluctuating membranes, and the prediction of membrane and bending elasticities of molecular dynamics models.

description: We dissect genetically a gene regulatory network, including the transcription factors Tbx4, Pitx1 and Isl1 that act cooperatively to establish the hindlimb bud and identify key differences in the pathways that initiate formation of the hindlimb and forelimb. Using live image analysis of limb mesenchyme cells undergoing chondrogenesis in micromass culture, we distinguish a series of changes in cellular behaviours and cohesiveness that are required for chondrogenic precursors to undergo differentiation. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the proximal hindlimb defects in the Tbx4 mutant result from a failure in the early differentiation step of chondroprogenitors into chondrocytes, providing a novel explanation for the origins of proximally-biased limb defects.

description: In the quantum regime information can be copied with only a finite fidelity. This fidelity gradually increases to 1 as the system becomes classical.

3D numerical simulations of photodissociated and photoionized disks

description: In this work we study the influence of the UV radiation field of a massive star on the evolution of a disklike mass of gas and dust around a nearby star. This system has similarities with the Orion proplyds. We study disks with different inclinations and distances from the source, performing 3D numerical simulations. We use the YGUAZÚ-A adaptative grid code modified to account for EUV/FUV fluxes and non-spherical mass distributions. We treat H and C photoionization to reproduce the ionization fronts and photodissociation regions observed in proplyds. We also incorporate a wind from the ionizing source, to investigate the formation of the bow shock observed in several proplyds. Our results show that a photoevaporated wind propagates from the disk surface and becomes ionized after an ionization front (IF) seen as a bright peak in Ha maps. We follow the development of an HI region inside the photoevaporated wind which corresponds to a photodissociated region (PDR) for most of our models, except those without a FUV flux. For disks that are at a distance from the source d \geq 0.1 pc, the PDR is thick and the IF is detached from the disk surface. In contrast, for disks that are closer to the source, the PDR is thin and not resolved in our simulations. The IF then coincides with the first grid points of the disk that are facing the ionizing photon source. In both cases, the photoevaporated wind shocks (after the IF) with the wind that comes from the ionizing source, and this interaction region is bright in Ha. Our 3D models produce two emission features: a hemispherically shaped structure (associated with the IF) and a detached bow shock where both winds collide. A photodissociated region develops in all of the models exposed to the FUV flux. More importantly, disks with different inclinations with respect to the ionizating source have relatively similar photodissociation regions. (abridged)
