description: We study the role of massive perturbers (MPs) in deflecting stars and binaries to almost radial ("loss-cone") orbits, where they pass near the central massive black hole (MBH), interact with it at periapse, and are ultimately destroyed. MPs dominate dynamical relaxation when the ratio of the 2nd moments of the MP and star mass distributions, mu_2=(N_p*)/(N_s*), satisfies mu_2>>1. We compile the MP mass function from published observations, and show that MPs in the nucleus of the Galaxy (mainly giant molecular clouds), and plausibly in late type galaxies generally, have 10^2

description: Using 10 095 galaxies (B < 20 mag) from the Millennium Galaxy Catalogue, we derive B-band luminosity distributions and selected bivariate brightness distributions for the galaxy population. All subdivisions extract highly correlated sub-sets of the galaxy population which consistently point towards two overlapping distributions. A clear bimodality in the observed distribution is seen in both the rest-(u-r) colour and log(n) distributions. The rest-(u-r) colour bimodality becomes more pronounced when using the core colour as opposed to global colour. The two populations are extremely well separated in the colour-log(n) plane. Using our sample of 3 314 (B < 19 mag) eyeball classified galaxies, we show that the bulge-dominated, early-type galaxies populate one peak and the bulge-less, late-type galaxies occupy the second. The early- and mid-type spirals sprawl across and between the peaks. This constitutes extremely strong evidence that the fundamental way to divide the luminous galaxy population is into bulges and discs and that the galaxy bimodality reflects the two component nature of galaxies and not two distinct galaxy classes. We argue that these two-components require two independent formation mechanisms/processes and advocate early bulge formation through initial collapse and ongoing disc formation through splashback, infall and merging/accretion. We calculate the B-band luminosity-densities and stellar-mass densities within each subdivision and estimate that the z ~ 0 stellar mass content in spheroids, bulges and discs is 35 +/- 2 per cent, 18 +/- 7 and 47 +/- 7 per cent respectively.

description: We identify the rich Carbon star population of the Magellanic-type dwarf irregular galaxy WLM (Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte) and study its photometric properties from deep near-IR observations. The galaxy exhibits also a clear presence of Oxygen rich population. We derive a Carbon to M-star ratio of C/M=0.56(+/-0.12), relatively high in comparison with many galaxies. The spatial distribution of the AGB stars in WLM hints at the presence of two stellar complexes with a size of a few hundred parsecs. Using the HI map of WLM and the derived gas-to-dust ratio for this galaxy we re-determined the distance modulus of WLM from the IR photometry of four known Cepheids, obtaining (m-M)o=24.84(+/-0.14) mag. In addition, we determine the scale length of 0.75(+/-)0.14 kpc of WLM disk in J-band.

The Universal Identity Neural Network is an multidomain, cross-channel algorithmic knowledge graph providing persistent digital identity resolution, created through a unique set of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) used to deterministically and probabilistically stitch real-time micro-moments information and customer data through a process called “Automated Algorithmic Identity Resolution or AAIR”.
DescriptionA universal identification graph algorithm connects identities across computing devices and digital channels to one customer. The universal identification allow marketers to engage customers with relevant brand experience as they move between devices and across all digital channels. The universal identification graph algorithm enables mapping of a customer's journey across multiple, different identifications, allows deep personalization based on behaviors, habits, and preferences across the entire customer journey, helps create a more comprehensive customer profile to enable marketers to target the customer with relevant content at the right time and through the right channels, and also provides the customer with the ability to quickly opt out

description: We derive the luminosity functions of elliptical galaxies, galaxy bulges, galaxy pseudo-bulges and galaxy discs from our structural catalogue of 10,095 galaxies. In addition we compute their associated luminosity and stellar mass densities. We show that spheroidal systems (elliptical galaxies and the bulges of disc galaxies) exhibit a strong color bimodality indicating two distinct types of spheroid which are separated by a core color of (u-r) ~ 2 mag. We argue that the similarity of the red elliptical and the red bulge luminosity functions supports our previous arguments that they share a common origin and surprisingly find that the same follows for the blue ellipticals and blue bulges, the latter of which we refer to as pseudo-bulges. In terms of the stellar mass budget we find that $58\pm6$ per cent is currently in the form of discs, 39+/-6 per cent in the form of red spheroids (13+/-4 per cent ellipticals, 26+/-4 per cent bulges) and the remainder is in the form of blue spheroidal systems (~1.5 per cent blue ellipticals and ~1.5 per cent pseudo-bulges). In terms of galaxy formation we argue that our data on galaxy components strongly supports the notion of a two-stage formation process (spheroid first, disc later) but with the additional complexity of secular evolution occurring in quiescent discs giving rise to two distinct bulge types: genuine 'classical' bulges and pseudo-bulges. We therefore advocate that there are three significant structures underpinning galaxy evolution: classical spheroids (old); pseudo-bulges (young) and discs (intermediate). The luminous nearby galaxy population is a mixture of these three structural types. [abridged].

description: A new, versatile, multiphasic buffer system for high-resolution sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins in the relative molecular weight range of 300 000-3000 Da is described. The system, based on the theory of multiphasic zone electrophoresis, allows complete stacking and destacking of proteins in the above M(r) range. The buffer system uses taurine and chloride as trailing and leading ion, respectively, and Tris, at a pH close to its pK(a), as the buffering counterion. Coupled with limited variation in the acrylamide concentration, this electrophoresis system allows to tailor the resolution in the 6-200 kDa M(r) range, with minimal difficulties in the post electrophoretic identification processes.

description: Datasets have played a foundational role in the advancement of machine learning research. They form the basis for the models we design and deploy, as well as our primary medium for benchmarking and evaluation. Furthermore, the ways in which we collect, construct and share these datasets inform the kinds of problems the field pursues and the methods explored in algorithm development. However, recent work from a breadth of perspectives has revealed the limitations of predominant practices in dataset collection and use. In this paper, we survey the many concerns raised about the way we collect and use data in machine learning and advocate that a more cautious and thorough understanding of data is necessary to address several of the practical and ethical issues of the field.

description: In 1968, Atkinson proved the existence of functions that satisfy all S-matrix axioms in four spacetime dimensions. His proof is constructive and to our knowledge it is the only result of this type. Remarkably, the methods to construct such functions used in the proof were never implemented in practice. In the present paper, we test the applicability of those methods in the simpler setting of two-dimensional S-matrices. We solve the problem of reconstructing the scattering amplitude starting from a given particle production probability. We do this by implementing two numerical iterative schemes (fixed-point iteration and Newton's method), which, by iterating unitarity and dispersion relations, converge to solutions to the S-matrix axioms. We characterize the region in the amplitude-space in which our algorithms converge, and discover a fractal structure connected to the so-called CDD ambiguities which we call "CDD fractal". To our surprise, the question of convergence naturally connects to the recent study of the coupling maximization in the two-dimensional S-matrix bootstrap. The methods exposed here pave the way for applications to higher dimensions, and expose some of the potential challenges that will have to be overcome.

Design and development of an automated can filling system for fish

description: Salmon processing is a five hundred million dollar industry in British Columbia. This research is a part of the work undertaken in the Industrial Automation Laboratory at the University of British Columbia to develop advanced, low-cost technology for flexible automation in the fish processing industry. The scope of the research reported in this thesis is limited to the design' and development of an automated can-filling system for fish. Higher operating speeds, improved filling accuracy and waste reduction, better versatility and process flexibility, improved product quality and presentation, and a greater level of automation are some of the key objectives of the research. These are addressed in the thesis. The performance of the existing special purpose machines is examined in detail to identify problem areas and their possible causes. Alternative conceptual designs are studied, that would eliminate these problems. An appropriate design is chosen and further analyzed and developed. The particular design chosen uses weight-based portion control of fish as opposed to the existing volume-based processing and portion compacting. This new approach is expected to provide improved accuracy and product quality. The proposed design for an automated canfilling system is developed up to the stage of component specification and selection that would meet the industrial requirements. Also, a cost-benefit analysis is made for the proposed can filling system, with a critical comparison with the existing technology. Laboratory experiments have been carried out to check the suitability of the design. In particular, an experimental prototype for the filling system has been designed, built and employed to test the filling effectiveness of the proposed system. The experimental results are evaluated and further improvements are recommended for the can-filling system.

description: Blandford-Znajek mechanism, by which the rotational energy of a black hole is extracted through electromagnetic fields, is one of the promising candidates as an essential process of the central engine of active compact objects such as Gamma-Ray Bursts. The only known analytical solution of this mechanism is the perturbative monopole solution for Kerr parameter a up to the second order terms. In order to apply Blandford-Znajek mechanism to rapidly rotating black holes, we try to obtain the perturbation solution up to the fourth order. As a result, we find that the fourth order terms of the vector potential diverge at infinity, which implies that the perturbation approach breaks down at large distance from the black hole. Although there are some uncertainties about the solution due to the unknown boundary condition at infinity for the fourth order terms, we can derive the evaluation of the total energy flux extracted from the black hole up to fourth order of a without any ambiguity. Further more, from the comparison between the numerical solution that is valid for 0

description: We fabricate nanolayer alumina capacitor and apply high electric fields, close to 1 GV/m, to inject charges in the dielectric. Asymmetric charge distributions have been achieved due to the selectivity of the quantum tunneling process. Namely, the electrons cannot tunnel to a region near cathode, where the total energy would be less than the potential energy. This mechanism exhibits a strong tendency to populate charge traps located near the anode, i.e., the regions where their potential energy is the lowest. This charge injection allows a permanent storage of the bulk charge even if the capacitor plates are short-circuited, provided that the temperature is sufficiently low so that the conductivity of the dielectric is negligible. In our experiments, the total charge stored in the dielectric was up to seven and a half times higher than the charge stored on the capacitor plates. Also, measurements of the breakdown voltage show that the breakdown electric field, i.e., the dielectric strength, is independent of the thickness of the dielectric.

Size and Orientation of the `Z' in ZRGs

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Some X-shaped radio galaxies (XRGs) show a Z-symmetric morphology in the less luminous secondary lobes. Our geometrical arguments strongly support a merger of two galaxies as mechanism for the formation of these sources (ZRG). They also strengthen the conjecture that a jet is aligned with the spin of the BH at its base and that the jet flips into the direction of the orbital angular momentum of the pre-merger binary black hole (BHB). We could also restrict the distance where the pre-merger jet is bent into Z-shape by the inspiralling galaxy to the range of 30-100 kpc. One of three possible orientations of the jet relative to our line of sight is more likely than the others and allows us to deduce the direction of the spin of the merged BH. The existence of XRGs and ZRGs proves that the binary has merged, contrary to previous speculations that after a merger of two galaxies the decay of the BHB stalls due to loss cone depletion. In ZRGs the black holes probably merge on timescales of some 10^8 yr after the bending of the jet in a distance of about 50 kpc. Thus, in a way, the bending starts a stop watch for the rest of the merger.

description: Closed mines pose significant risks to the environment and human health. Uranium mine contamination of surface water, groundwater and soil have received moderate attention, but few studies have investigated dust transport of uranium. The latter has immediate implications for remediation efforts and environmental/human health regulators. Frequent dust storms intensify aeolian transport of uranium in arid settings. At the Jackpile Mine in Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico, 15 sets of dust traps have been installed at heights of 0.25 m, 0.5 m, 1.0 m and 1.5 m above the soil surface. Some of these traps are within the mine pit, while others are up to 4 km away; dust from these sites was collected every two months. In addition, soil samples from each site were collected and sieved into eight size classes. All samples were acid digested, and the uranium content analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. We investigate whether uranium has an affinity for a particular particle size class, with interest centered on particles small enough to be completely inhaled by humans. Results show that surface concentrations of uranium vary substantially across the landscape. Distance from the pit shows no correlation with uranium in the upper 5 cm of soil. Other factors appear to control accumulation, such as vegetation height and density and topographic relief, which are known to have a significant impact on wind speeds, soil erosion and dust deposition. Our study site has over 150 m of relief and intricate topography that lead to a range of wind speeds between sites. The soil uranium content determined at 15 sites has been compared to site elevation and vegetation height. Analysis suggests that elevation and vegetation height may impact local erosion and deposition of uranium contamination. Dust mass was collected at each height and converted into a flux (g/d/m2). The relationship between mass flux and height above ground followed a power law relationship as supported by previous research (Zingg 1953; Butterfield 1999; Dong et al 2003; Dong et al 2004a, 2004b). Particle size fractionation during aeolian transport led to an increase in metal concentrations in 4 of 6 metals of concern in the dust compared to the soil.

description: We present deep B- and R-band surface photometry for a sample of 21 galaxies with morphological types between S0 and Sab. We present radial profiles of surface brightness, colour, ellipticity, position angle and deviations of axisymmetry for all galaxies, as well as isophotal and effective radii and total magnitudes. We have decomposed the images into contributions from a spheroidal bulge and a flat disk, using an interactive, 2D decomposition technique. We study in detail the relations between various bulge and disk parameters. In particular, we find that the bulges of our galaxies have surface brightness profiles ranging from exponential to De Vaucouleurs, with the average value of the Sersic shape parameter n being 2.5. In agreement with previous studies, we find that the shape of the bulge intensity distribution depends on luminosity, with the more luminous bulges having more centrally peaked light profiles. By comparing the ellipticity of the isophotes in the bulges to those in the outer, disk dominated regions, we are able to derive the intrinsic axis ratio q_b of the bulges. The average axis ratio is 0.55, with an rms spread of 0.12. None of the bulges in our sample is spherical, whereas in some cases, the bulges can be as flat as q_b = 0.3 - 0.4. The bulge flattening seems to be weakly coupled to luminosity, more luminous bulges being on average slightly more flattened than their lower-luminosity counterparts. Our finding that most bulges are significantly flattened and have an intensity profile shallower than R^{1/4} suggests that `pseudobulges', formed from disk material by secular processes, do not only occur in late-type spiral galaxies, but are a common feature in early-type disk galaxies as well.

title: The role of HER2 in canine mammary cancer
Creators: name: Magub, Stephanie Jane
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2012

description: While the role of the EGF family (in particular the HER2 receptor) has been well documented in human cancers, its role in the progression of canine mammary cancer is less well understood. Dogs have long been used as models of human disease in the development of human therapeutics, however the animal health market is only just beginning to develop animal-specific therapies. This project aimed to survey the expression of the complete family of EGF receptors and ligands in a range of normal tissues, and also in benign and malignant canine mammary cancers. In addition to this, the functional role of HER2 in maintaining transformed canine mammary cancer cells was also explored through cell proliferation assays, in which cells were treated with specific SMTKls and siRNA. Results showed that the EGF family was well-distributed throughout normal canine tissues - in particular in the GI tract - and that inhibiting HER2 with SMTKls and knocking it down with siRNA caused a decrease in cell proliferation, suggesting the receptor is involved in the growth of canine mammary cancer cells.

description: As a simple model for piezoelectricity we consider a gas of infinitely many non-interacting electrons subject to a slowly time-dependent periodic potential. We show that in the adiabatic limit the macroscopic current is determined by the geometry of the Bloch bundle. As a consequence we obtain the King-Smith and Vanderbilt formula up to errors smaller than any power of the adiabatic parameter.

The charmonium and bottomonium mass spectroscopy with a simple approximaton of the kinetic term

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

description: In this paper we propose a particular description of meson spectroscopy, with emphasis in heavy bound states like charmonia and bottomonia, after working on the main aspects of the construction of an effective potential model. We use the prerogatives from ``soft QCD'' to determine the effective potential terms, establishing the asymptotic Coulomb term from one gluon exchange approximation. At the same time, a linear confinement term is introduced in agreement with QCD and phenomenological prescription. The main aspect of this work is the simplification in the calculation, consequence of a precise and simplified description of the kinetic term of the Hamiltonian. With this proposition we perform the calculations of mass spectroscopy for charmonium and bottomonium mesons and we discuss the real physical possibilities of developing a generalized potential model, its possible advantages relative to experimental parameterization and complexity in numerical calculations.

description: We show that certain submanifolds of generalized complex manifolds ("weak branes") admit a natural quotient which inherits a generalized complex structure. This is analog to quotienting coisotropic submanifolds of symplectic manifolds. In particular Gualtieri's generalized complex submanifolds ("branes") quotient to space-filling branes. Along the way we perform reductions by foliations (i.e. no group action is involved) for exact Courant algebroids - interpreting the reduced Ševera class - and for Dirac structures.

The Evolution of the Low-Frequency Radio AGN Population to $z\simeq 1.5$ in the ELAIS N1 Field

description: We study the cosmic evolution of radio sources out to $z \simeq 1.5$ using a GMRT 610 MHz survey covering $\sim$1.86 deg$^2$ of the ELAIS N1 field with a minimum/median rms noise 7.1/19.5\,$μ$Jy / beam and an angular resolution of 6\,arcsec. We classify sources as star forming galaxies (SFGs), radio-quiet (RQ) and radio-loud (RL) Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) using a combination of multi-wavelength diagnostics and find evidence in support of the radio emission in SFGs and RQ AGN arising from star formation, rather than AGN-related processes. At high luminosities, however, both SFGs and RQ AGN display a radio excess when comparing radio and infrared star formation rates. The vast majority of our sample lie along the $\rm{SFR - M_{\star}}$ "main sequence" at all redshifts when using infrared star formation rates. We derive the 610 MHz radio luminosity function for the total AGN population, constraining its evolution via continuous models of pure density and pure luminosity evolution with $\rm{Φ^{\star}\,\propto\,(\,1+\,z)^{(2.25\pm0.38)-(0.63\pm0.35)z}}$ and $\rm{L_{610\,MHz}\,\propto\,(\,1+\,z)^{(3.45\pm0.53)-(0.55\pm0.29)z}}$ respectively. For our RQ and RL AGN, we find a fairly mild evolution with redshift best fitted by pure luminosity evolution with $\rm{L_{610\,MHz}\,\propto\,(\,1+\,z)^{(2.81\pm0.43)-(0.57\pm0.30)z}}$ for RQ AGN and $\rm{L_{610\,MHz}\,\propto\,(\,1+\,z)^{(3.58\pm0.54)-(0.56\pm0.29)z}}$ for RL AGN. The 610 MHz radio AGN population thus comprises two differently evolving populations whose radio emission is mostly SF-driven or AGN-driven respectively.

description: The single band, two dimensional Hubbard Hamiltonian has been extensively studied as a model for high temperature superconductivity. While Quantum Monte Carlo simulations within the dynamic cluster approximation are now providing considerable evidence for a d-wave superconducting state at low temperature, such a transition remains well out of reach of finite lattice simulations because of the "sign problem". We show here that a bilayer Hubbard model, in which one layer is electron doped and one layer is hole doped, can be studied to lower temperatures and exhibits an interesting signal of d-wave pairing. The results of our simulations bear resemblance to a recent report on the magnetic and superconducting properties of Ba$_2$Ca$_3$Cu$_4$O$_8$F$_2$ which contains both electron and hole doped CuO$_2$ planes. We also explore the phase diagram of bilayer models in which each sheet is at half-filling.

On the control volume arbitrariness in the Navier--Stokes equation
Creators: name: Espath, Luis

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: We present a continuum theory to demonstrate the implications of considering general tractions developed on arbitrary control volumes where the surface enclosing it lacks smoothness. We then tailor these tractions to recover the Navier--Stokes-$αβ$ equation and its thermodynamics. Consistent with the surface balances postulated to propose this theory, we provide an alternative approach to derive the natural boundary conditions.
Direct injection of natural gas for diesel engine fueling
Creators: name: Ouellette, Patric
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Transient turbulent underexpanded jets are formed when natural gas is directly injected, late in the compression stroke, in the combustion chamber of diesel engines. An analysis of gaseous jets, entering a large chamber at high Reynolds number and at sonic nozzle conditions, defines the similarity conditions pertaining to the jet penetration and mixing with the surrounding air. It is shown that the jet penetration varies with (Μ[sub n]/Ρ[sub ch])[sup ¼] t[sup ½], where M[sub n] is the momentum injection rate at the nozzle, Ρ[sub ch] the chamber gas density and t the time from beginning of injection. This dependency is supported by jet theory and by experimental data. The experimental data, which are also used to confirm the validity of multidimensional simulations, were obtained by schlieren visualization of underexpanded transient methane jets. Autoignition or ignition through pilot fuel combustion of the gaseous jets leads to transient flames whose configuration is affected by the length of the ignition delay. The ignition and combustion of the gaseous jets were studied using a multidimensional model which includes a new ignition scheme reproducing well the temperature dependency of methane autoignition data, a two-step high-temperature kinetic, and an eddy-dissipation turbulent combustion model. The simulations indicate that transient flames penetrate at much the same rate as cold jets, which can be formally shown for autoigniting flames with little or no premixed combustion (early ignition). The simulations demonstrate that the ignition delay and the nozzle injection rate of the gaseous jets affects the proportion of premixed and mixing-limited burning. In the case of pilot-ignited gaseous jets, it is shown that increasing the interaction between the pilot fuel sprays and the gaseous jets promotes early ignition of the gaseous jets. Results also indicate that injecting the natural gas later than the pilot fuel spray promotes early ignition and complete combustion of the gaseous fuel jet. The simulations, of both cold and igniting jets, permitted to highlight consequences and practical considerations regarding the choice of injection pressure, nozzle diameter, number of holes, and regarding the ignition of methane jets through pilot fuel combustion.
