description: Affleck-Dine baryogenesis is preconditioned on a certain structure of non-renormalizable operators in the Kahler potential. In this paper, we geometrically characterize the resulting constraint on the field space Kahler geometry and survey the Lagrangian for correlated predictions. The Affleck-Dine field backreacts on the inflaton, and by mapping the backreacted potential to an inflaton potential with a step, we find that current CMB data severely constrain some versions of the scenario.

Three essays in applied economics
Creators: name: Dai, Guang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation discusses three topics in applied economics. The first essay examines the causal effect of social capital on individual income by exploiting the historically determined pattern of family name distribution in Chinese villages. Family name distribution impacts social capital through historical inter-lineage rivalry and cooperation. The estimates show a strong first order effect on male villagers, which implies a one standard deviation increase in social capital is equivalent to two to four years of education. No effects on female villagers were found. The gender differentiation could be accounted for by occupation difference: male villagers' income mainly comes from market exchange, while female villagers' income comes mainly from home production. Using a simple model, it is demonstrated that a village's social capital determines its trade scope and therefore income of its residents. The second essay proposes a general method to identify subjective expectation bias. The method exploits an implication of rational expectations that requires the identical weight of an independent variable in projecting both objective and subjective probabilities. The empirical analysis shows that female seniors do not correctly internalize age information while male seniors fail at internalizing income information. Though cognitive ability and risk aversion can partially explain the results, they are not the sources of the identified biases. The third essay explores how seniors make long term care insurance (LTCI) decisions by developing a dynamic structural discrete choice model where a rational, risk averse, bequest motivated senior has to decide at each period whether to buy an insurance policy or not. Using the Health and Retirement Survey data, this essay finds substantial heterogeneity in bequest motive that drives LTCI decisions. Specially, the idiosyncratic bequest motive helps to explain why LTCI holders do not experience a higher incidence rate than non-holders.

description: The existence of exotic scalars that mix with the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson can affect Higgs boson phenomenology in a multitude of ways. We consider two light Higgs bosons with shared couplings to SM fields and with masses close to each other, in the range where the h \to WW \to l νl νis an important search channel. In this channel, we do not find the dilution of significance of the `SM-like' Higgs boson that is naively expected because of the mixing. This is because of leakage of events from the decay of the other scalar into its signal region. Nevertheless, we show that the broadening of the h\to WW \to l νl νsignificance plots of Standard Model Higgs boson searches could indicate the first evidence of the the extra scalar state.

description: The BaBar Collaboration has recently reported the measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions of $\bar{B} \to D(D^{*}) τ^{-} \bar{ν_τ}$ to $\bar{B} \to D(D^{*}) \ell^{-} \bar{ν_\ell}$ which deviates from the Standard Model prediction by 2$σ$(2.7$σ$). This deviation goes up to 3.4$σ$ level when the two measurements in the $D$ and $D^*$ modes are taken together and could indicate new physics. Using an effective Lagrangian for the new physics we study the implication of these results and calculate other observables that can shed light on the nature of the new physics. We show that the measurements of the forward-backward asymmetries and the $τ$ and $D^*$ polarization fractions can distinguish among the various couplings of the new physics operators.

description: We study the cost of improving the goodput, or the useful data rate, to user in a wireless network. We measure the cost in terms of number of base stations, which is highly correlated to the energy cost as well as capital and operational costs of a network provider.We show that increasing the available bandwidth, or throughput, may not necessarily lead to increase in goodput, particularly in lossy wireless networks in which TCP does not perform well. As a result, much of the resources dedicated to the user may not translate to high goodput, resulting in an inefficient use of the network resources. We show that using protocols such as TCP/NC, which are more resilient to erasures and failures in the network, may lead to a goodput commensurate the throughput dedicated to each user. By increasing goodput, users' transactions are completed faster; thus, the resources dedicated to these users can be released to serve other requests or transactions. Consequently, we show that translating efficiently throughput to goodput may bring forth better connection to users while reducing the cost for the network providers.

Using an ultrasound-derived model to assist in dosimetry for prostate cancer treatment through brachytherapy
Creators: name: Tam, Cindy R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting men in Canada. Patients with localized, early stage disease are often treated using prostate brachytherapy, a technique that involves surgically implanting small radioactive capsules or “seeds” in the prostate. Implantation is performed under the guidance of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) imaging, and treatment is assessed postoperatively for quality assurance purposes. Pelvic CT imaging is used to evaluate the dose delivered to the target; however, it is a challenge to consistently and confidently identify prostate boundaries due to the poor soft tissue contrast on CT. This leads to large variability in CT-defined anatomical contours and calculated dosimetric quality assurance parameters, and has led to increased reliance on other imaging technologies such as MR. Meanwhile, TRUS typically provides high-quality anatomical visualization, but provides insufficient information for dose calculation purposes. We have developed a new method to transfer ultrasound-based contours to CT images using mathematical modeling and a novel registration technique. The prostate model, derived from TRUS contours, is generated via two streams: one assumes a modified ellipsoid shape (model X), and the other performs a straightforward linear interpolation (model Y). Both are manipulated to account for expected deformations such as TRUS-probe compression and edema. Registration from TRUS to CT spatial coordinates is based on matched seed locations. We evaluate the quality of model-generated contours primarily by comparing the measured volume and dosimetric parameters to the observed variability range determined from manual CT contours. In 19 of model X, and 18 of model Y, cases out of 20, volumes produced were within the variability observed from 5 experienced physicians. However, dose parameters agreed in only a moderate number of cases (9–13), partly motivating a region-specific analysis. We found the least agreement in the posterior apex, with model contours tending to be larger. We discuss the possible reasons for this, as well as implications on the role of modeling in an applied clinical setting. Ultimately, the ultrasound-informed model shows promise, and has many benefits relative to other methods, such those based on CT or MR.

We derive a general dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) which shows very good agreement with full Langevin dynamics. In suitable limits, we recover existing DDFTs and a Navier-Stokes-like equation with additional non-local terms.

description: I discuss the impact of gauge-gravity duality on our understanding of two classes of systems: conformal quantum matter and compressible quantum matter. The first conformal class includes systems, such as the boson Hubbard model in two spatial dimensions, which display quantum critical points described by conformal field theories. Questions associated with non-zero temperature dynamics and transport are difficult to answer using conventional field theoretic methods. I argue that many of these can be addressed systematically using gauge-gravity duality, and discuss the prospects for reliable computation of low frequency correlations. Compressible quantum matter is characterized by the smooth dependence of the charge density, associated with a global U(1) symmetry, upon a chemical potential. Familiar examples are solids, superfluids, and Fermi liquids, but there are more exotic possibilities involving deconfined phases of gauge fields in the presence of Fermi surfaces. I survey the compressible systems studied using gauge-gravity duality, and discuss their relationship to the condensed matter classification of such states. The gravity methods offer hope of a deeper understanding of exotic and strongly-coupled compressible quantum states.

The optical absorption study in the range of 0.6-5.6 eV shows that the films are transparent below 1.9 eV; above this energy four broad intense absorption bands are distinguished. The absorption spectra are analyzed taking into account the unusual fivefold coordination of the Fe(3+) ion. Temperature dependence of the optical absorption at 4.9 eV shows anomaly at 124 K, which we attribute to magnetic ordering of iron sublattices.

description: Mass and energy injection throughout the lifetime of a star cluster contributes to the gas reservoir available for subsequent episodes of star formation and the feedback energy budget responsible for ejecting material from the cluster. In addition, mass processed in stellar interiors and ejected as winds has the potential to augment the abundance ratios of currently forming stars, or stars which form at a later time from a retained gas reservoir. Here we present hydrodynamical simulations that explore a wide range of cluster masses, compactnesses, metallicities and stellar population age combinations in order to determine the range of parameter space conducive to stellar wind retention or wind powered gas expulsion in star clusters. We discuss the effects of the stellar wind prescription on retention and expulsion effectiveness, using MESA stellar evolutionary models as a test bed for exploring how the amounts of wind retention/expulsion depend upon the amount of mixing between the winds from stars of different masses and ages. We conclude by summarizing some implications for gas retention and expulsion in a variety of compact ($σ_v \gtrsim 20 \, {\rm km s^{-1}}$) star clusters including young massive star clusters ($10^5 \lesssim M/M_\odot \lesssim 10^7$, $age \lesssim 500$~Myrs), intermediate age clusters ($10^5 \lesssim M/M_\odot \lesssim 10^7$, $age \approx 1-4$~Gyrs), and globular clusters ($10^5 \lesssim M/M_\odot \lesssim 10^7$, $age \gtrsim 10$~Gyrs).

Femicides in Mexico from 1990 to Present: The Power of the Media in Respects to Fomentation and Advocacy Against Femicides

description: Femicide is the term given to describe the gender-based murder of a woman or girl by a man (Merriam-Webster). This is the most extreme form of gender-violence and, sadly, the numbers continue to rise with no end in sight. Thousands of women live in fear for their own life as well as that of their female family members, friends, neighbors, etc. as they never know what day will be their last. Since 1993, femicides have increased at a staggering rate. In 2019 there were 976 reported femicides (Pasquali, 2020), with the number increasing 7.7% in the first half of 2020 (Sanchez and Rodriguez, 2020). With the rise in numbers there has also been a rise in awareness of the problem. The pages below seek to answer the question: How do the discursive strategies employed in different media portrayals of femicide resist or reproduce the sexist, gendered logics underpinning femicide itself? I pose that media is a strong influencer of society and has been used to foment misogyny and ultimately femicides. In my analysis, I examine the lyrics of popular music to expose the misogynistic message, which is often overlooked. I analyze how snuff films, an extreme form of pornography sexualizes female murder, further fetishizing violence against women. Social media is a powerful tool, but I show how it is used for victim blaming and shaming. I explore how policymakers and even the general public in Mexico may disregard the importance of femicide and partake in victim blaming. While media in general is often a driving force for femicide, advocates against femicide have come to realize the influence of the media and are taking charge of that power by using it to create a conversation surrounding femicides in order to incite people to begin to speak out against femicides and demand a solution. I discuss three documentaries from the point of view of the families in which they express the impact that femicide has had on them. I provide examples of femicide cases and how they have been handled by the general public and the media. I examine news articles and videos ranging from 1990 to the present in which femicide is mentioned or reported about. In my research I have found that there is a glorification of violence against women, fomented by the misogynistic culture prevalent in the country. Due to the fact that a critical conversation around the portrayal of femicides in popular media could incite people to begin to speak out against these atrocities and demand a solution, my research has the potential to show how the media can have a greater effect on topics such as femicide than simple policy.
Probing the fourth generation Majorana neutrino dark matter

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

description: Heavy fourth generation Majorana neutrino can be stable and contribute to a small fraction of the relic density of dark matter (DM) in the Universe. Due to its strong coupling to the standard model particles, it can be probed by the current direct detection experiments even it is a subdominant component of the whole halo DM. Assuming that it contributes to the same fraction of the local halo DM density as that of the DM relic density, we show that the current Xenon100 data constrain the mass of the stable Majorana neutrino to be greater than the mass of the top quark. In the mass range between 200 GeV and a few hundred GeV, the effective spin-independent cross section for the neutrino elastic scattering off nucleon is insensitive to the neutrino mass and is predicted to be $\sim 1.5\times 10^{-44} cm^2$, which can be reached by the direct DM search experiments soon. In the same mass region the predicted effective spin-dependent cross section for the heavy neutrino scattering off proton is in the range $2\times 10^{-40} cm^2\sim 2\times 10^{-39} cm^2$, which is within the reach of the ongoing IceCube experiment. We demonstrate such properties in a fourth generation model with the stability of the fourth Majorana neutrino protected by an additional generation-dependent U(1) gauge symmetry.

description: We report about the confirmation of binary nature for the early-type star and X-ray source HD 3191. This object is one of the two candida tes proposed as counterparts to the flaring gamma-ray source 4FGL J0035.8+6131, the other one being a possible blazar source. An orbital period of 16.09 d has been determined for HD 3191 based on independent data series of optical photometry, both ground and space based. Moreover, evidence of a possible accretion disk producing a HeII emission line has also been obtained from low-resolution optical spectroscopy. Even if unrelated to the high-energy emission, HD3191 deserves its own interest as a newly confirmed high-mass X-ray binary system.

description: We have developed a model for the polarization of curvature radiation by taking into account the polar-cap-current induced perturbation on the dipolar magnetic field. We present the effects of the polar cap current on the pulsar radio emission in an artificial case when the rotation effects, such as aberration and retardation, are absent. Our model indicates that the intensity components and the polarization angle inflection point can be shifted to either the leading or the trailing side depending upon the prevailing conditions in the viewing geometry, the non-uniformity in source distribution (modulation), and the polar cap-current-induced perturbation. Also, we find evidence for the origin of symmetric-type circular polarization in addition to the antisymmetric type. Our model predicts a stronger trailing component compared to that on the leading side of a given cone under some specific conditions.

Bayesian prediction and inference in analysis of computer experiments
Creators: name: Chen, Hao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Gaussian Processes (GPs) are commonly used in the analysis of data from a computer experiment. Ideally, the analysis will provide accurate predictions with correct coverage probabilities of credible intervals. A Bayesian method can, in principle, capture all sources of uncertainty and hence give valid inference. Several implementations are available in the literature, differing in choice of priors, etc. In this thesis, we first review three popular Bayesian methods in the analysis of computer experiments. Two prediction criteria are proposed to measure both the prediction accuracy and the prediction actual coverage probability. From a simple example, we notice that the performances of the three Bayesian implementations are quite different. Motivated by the performance difference, we specify four important factors in terms of Bayesian analysis and allocate different levels for the factors based on the three existing Bayesian implementations. Full factorial experiments are then conducted on the specified factors both for real computer models and via simulation with the aim of identifying the significant factors. Emphasis is placed on the prediction accuracy, since the performances of the prediction coverage probability for most combinations are satisfactory. Through the analyses described above, we find that among the four factors, two factors are actually significant to the prediction accuracy. The best combination for the levels of the four factors is also identified.

GRS 1758-258

description: GRS 1758–258 in the vicinity of the Galaxy center is one of the prototypes of microquasar. Radio observations revealed in the past a morphological evolution at large scales that have been attributed to the developing of instabilities. But precession could be at work as in other microquasars such as SS433 and 1E1740.7-2942. We used new and archival data to fit a precession model whose parameters let us find contraints on the physical properties and jet precession mechanisms in GRS 1758-258, in particular tidal torque induced by the secondary and Lense-Thirring effect. The results confirm that precession could be the responsible for the 18.48 day period actually assumed to be orbital, while a ~1 day orbital period seems more suitable in this system. However, precession could not be behind the large-scale behaviour of GRS 1758-258 jets, but the growth of instabilities. Taking all these things together, a new scenario is proposed for this microquasar.

description: We investigate the effect of Pauli blocking on universal two- and three-body states in the medium. Their corresponding energies are extracted from the poles of two- and three-body in-medium scattering amplitudes. Compared to the vacuum, the binding of dimer and trimer states is reduced by the medium effects. In two-body scattering, the well-known physics of Cooper pairs is recovered. In the three-body sector, we find a new class of positive energy poles which can be interpreted as Cooper triples.

Accreting white dwarfs : a theoretical analysis of nuclear burning
Creators: name: Pillay, Samara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Accreting white dwarfs can exhibit a variety of thermonuclear phenomena, such as shell flashes, classical and recurrent novae, as well as Type Ia supernovae. To better understand these processes, we consider the accretion of hydrogen-rich material onto the surface of a white dwarf. Our analysis is based on a semi-analytical approach that allows the investigation of properties of nuclear burning on accreting white dwarfs. In particular, we determine steady-state solutions and evaluate the stability of these solutions. As a first step, we follow Paczyński's one-zone model and confirm his results by following his analysis independently. We extend the framework to a sophisticated multi-zone model encompassing a variety of detailed physics. We determine accretion rates that may lead to stable or to unstable burning. Regimes of stable burning may result in mass increase and potentially identify progenitors of Type Ia supernovae. Unstable burning may lead to nova-like outbursts. The identification of both burning regimes is important, as these thermonuclear events influence the chemical and dynamical evolution of the Universe.

description: AstroSAT has observed Her X-1 on 4 occasions with the Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT). UVIT has a 30 cm diameter mirror with a photon counting detector, which were calibrated at the University of Calgary, and launched on AstroSAT in Sept. 2015. As part of the guest investigator program, we have obtained orbital light curves of high sensitivity in the Far UV band during different parts of the 35 day cycle. The FUV light curve has contributions from the heated face of the companion star HZ Her and from the accretion disk. We model the FUV light curves to measure the shape of the accretion disk.

description: The physics behind the ionization structure of outflows from black holes is yet to be fully understood. Using archival observations with the Chandra/ HETG gratings, we measured an absorption measure distribution for a sample of outflows in eight active galaxies (AGNs), namely the dependence of outflow column density,𝑁𝐻, on the ionization parameter,𝜉. The slope of log𝑁𝐻vs. log𝜉is found to be universally between 0.0 and 0.5. We find an anti-correlation between the total column density of the outflow and the AGN luminosity. A major improvement in the diagnostics of AGN outflows will potentially occur with the launch of the XRISM/Resolve spectrometer. In this work, we study the abilities of Resolve reveal the outflow ionization structure. We construct the absorption measure distributions using simulated Resolve spectra, utilizing its superior resolution and effective area. Resolve constrains the column density of the high-𝜉components better than HETG, even with much shorter observations. These components carry the highest column densities.
All bark and no bite? : illegal logging and REDD implementation in weak states
Creators: name: Gochberg, William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Despite efforts to reduce logging rates, deforestation due to illegal timber harvests continues to plague REDD+ countries. This problem occurs in an array of states that exhibit variance regarding quality of governance, commitment to REDD+ projects, as well as history and causes of deforestation. This behavior is best explained as a typical challenge of implementing policy for nations in which the ‘weak’ state is merely one of several actors wielding power in the form of social control. These power dynamics are likely to persist, or change only at a rate that puts successful implementation of REDD+ projects in jeopardy. Extending this framework to the international level demonstrates how the design of international regimes such as REDD+ may work either to exacerbate or to moderate existing conflict among actors with social power, and how contestation at the local level may act to influence the politics of these global regimes.
