description: The Deep Operator Network (DeepONet) structure has shown great potential in approximating complex solution operators with low generalization errors. Recently, a sequential DeepONet (S-DeepONet) was proposed to use sequential learning models in the branch of DeepONet to predict final solutions given time-dependent inputs. In the current work, the S-DeepONet architecture is extended by modifying the information combination mechanism between the branch and trunk networks to simultaneously predict vector solutions with multiple components at multiple time steps of the evolution history, which is the first in the literature using DeepONets. Two example problems, one on transient fluid flow and the other on path-dependent plastic loading, were shown to demonstrate the capabilities of the model to handle different physics problems. The use of a trained S-DeepONet model in inverse parameter identification via the genetic algorithm is shown to demonstrate the application of the model. In almost all cases, the trained model achieved an $R^2$ value of above 0.99 and a relative $L_2$ error of less than 10\% with only 3200 training data points, indicating superior accuracy. The vector S-DeepONet model, having only 0.4\% more parameters than a scalar model, can predict two output components simultaneously at an accuracy similar to the two independently trained scalar models with a 20.8\% faster training time. The S-DeepONet inference is at least three orders of magnitude faster than direct numerical simulations, and inverse parameter identifications using the trained model is highly efficient and accurate.

description: Diamond Tin-Vacancy centers have emerged as a promising platform for quantum information science and technology. A key challenge for their use in more complex quantum experiments and scalable applications is the ability to prepare the center in the desired charge state with the optical transition at a pre-defined frequency. Here we report on heralding such successful preparation using a combination of laser excitation, photon detection, and real-time logic. We first show that fluorescence photon counts collected during an optimized resonant probe pulse strongly correlate with the subsequent charge state and optical transition frequency, enabling real-time heralding of the desired state through threshold photon counting. We then implement and apply this heralding technique to photoluminescence excitation measurements, coherent optical driving, and an optical Ramsey experiment, finding strongly improved optical coherence with increasing threshold. Finally, we demonstrate that the prepared optical frequency follows the probe laser across the inhomogeneous linewidth, enabling tuning of the transition frequency over multiple homogeneous linewidths.

description: As an emerging mode of urban transportation, Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) systems show the potential in improving mobility in cities through timely and door-to-door services. However, the spatiotemporal imbalances between mobility demand and supply may lead to inefficiencies and a low quality of service. Vehicle rebalancing (i.e., dispatching idle vehicles to high-demand areas), is a potential solution for efficient AMoD fleet management. In this paper, we formulate the vehicle rebalancing problem as a coverage control problem for the deployment of a fleet of mobile agents for AMoD operation in urban areas. Performance is demonstrated via microscopic simulations representing a large urban road network of Shenzhen, China. Results reveal the potential of the proposed method in improving service rates and decreasing passenger waiting times.

description: Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) are a hallmark sign of osteoarthritis (OA) associated with clinical symptoms of pain and pain progression. Based on previous literature, BMLs are likely centers of increased bone remodeling. Currently, there is no consensus as to what defines a BML outside of its appearance on MRI. This study aimed to better understand bone remodeling rates in BML tissue versus matched OA control tissue from total knee arthroplasty (TKA) tibial plateau explants in five individuals with end stage OA. Participants were scanned with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) six months prior to TKA. Tetracycline hydrochloride was administered to produce fluorescent double labels signifying newly mineralized bone. BMLs and paired control (BML-free) regions were identified in the tibial plateaus on the in vivo MRI images before polymethyl methacrylate embedding and sectioning. BIOQUANTOsteo and paired T tests were used to measure differences in mineral appositional rate (MAR), bone formation rate (BFR/BS), and mineralizing surface (MS/BS) on histological sections. Five tibial plateau explants showed that MAR was significantly higher in the BML group (1.14 +/- 0.3μm/day) than the control group (0.37 +/- 0.24μm/day, p = 0.0003). BFR/BS (p = 0.058) and MS/BS (p = 0.140) appeared to trend higher in the BML group (0.08 +/- 0.07μm/day, 0.064 +/- 0.046%, respectively) than in the paired control group (0.02 +/- 0.02μm/day, 0.042 +/- 0.039%, respectively). Taken together these results signify that BMLs likely have an increased rate of bone remodeling when compared to paired non BML OA tissue. This research could assist in elucidating novel therapeutic targets for treatment of knee OA and identify those needing TKA, thus improving the quality of life for affected individuals.

description: Urban environments quite often do not meet accessibility requirements. This thesis examines how Cities can make their built environments accessible, inclusive and welcoming. Using a design and research science approach this thesis developed a response in the form of the Comprehensive Accessibility Enhancement Package (CAEP). CAEP consists of two key components: the Accessibility Enhancement Framework and the Accessibility Growth Model. The framework guides cities in setting accessibility goals, crafting policies, and establishing necessary procedures and tools. The model enables them to assess progress through three defined stages—Fundamental, Developing, and Advanced. CAEP was developed with expert feedback from accessibility experts, city officials, and disability advocates via two rounds of interviews. A case study conducted with the City of Mississauga demonstrates how CAEP can be applied for structured evaluation, continuous improvement, and benchmarking of accessibility and disability inclusion. CAEP is intended to be an institutional aid to help advance accessibility within urban built environments. With CAEP, cities can integrate strategic planning, cultural transformation, and innovative methodologies into their built environment-making process, thereby fostering spaces that are truly inclusive.

title: Quantification of Variations in Velocity Vector Fields

Publisher: name: Schulich School of Engineering

Subjects: subject: Engineering--Mechanical

description: Quantifying the similarity of velocity vector fields has been a critical task across numerous applications within fluid mechanics research, such as computational fluid dynamics validation and quantifying the levels of variability in a flow field. However, this task remains challenging for widely used vector comparison metrics at present. Traditional metrics include the Relevance Index (RI) and Magnitude Similarity Index (MSI) as well as their local versions, Local Structural Index (LSI) and Local Magnitude Index (LMI). These metrics, however, are often sensitive to low-velocity magnitude areas, which can distort the results and provide misleading guidance for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. To address this, improved metrics like the Weighted Relevance Index (WRI), the Weighted Magnitude Index (WMI), and their amalgamated Combined Magnitude And Relevance Index (CMRI), have been introduced in the literature. Despite having reduced sensitivity to low-velocity areas, CMRI in its original form does not equally consider the significance of WRI and WMI, and introduces a degree of subjectivity. In the present work, we propose two enhanced metrics to address this problem: the modified CMRI for one-by-one flow field comparison, and the ensemble CMRI for comparing collections of vector fields. We compare their properties to the previously developed CMRI and spatially averaged CMRI, and investigate their usage in an applied example for quantifying cyclic variations in a cyclic flow from a single-cylinder research combustion engine. The newly proposed metrics were found to more robustly isolate the effects of discrepant vector magnitudes and directions, leading to improved diagnostics of in-cylinder flow fields. In particular, the modified CMRI, which ensures equal treatment of WMI and WRI, can serve as a baseline for flow field comparison, providing a more objective target for quantifying flow similarity. Finally, we utilized the proposed metrics to show that using reconstructed 0 Hz mode SPDMD of the ensemble, instead of the ensemble mean, as the baseline for velocity field dataset characterization, will yield to highlighting variations in the magnitude of the regions with relatively more kinetic energy. Although the proposed techniques have been validated for in-cylinder flow, the metrics can be broadly applied to compare and characterize variations in different types of fluid flows.

description: After emerging from the civil war in 1986, Uganda has demonstrated a proactive response to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) through its early adoption and implementation of the multisectoral approach to the HIV/AIDS crisis. Uganda’s early response has contributed substantially to reducing HIV transmission in the country. Thus, using a qualitative research approach and drawing on the multiple streams framework (MSF), the top-down and bottom-up approaches to policy implementation, and the concepts of gender and patriarchy as theoretical lenses, this dissertation seeks to understand the factors that shape Uganda’s policy response to HIV/AIDS. Specifically, it seeks to provide a better understanding of how Uganda has responded to HIV/AIDS and the factors that hinder the effective response to the epidemic. I argue that the early adoption of the multisectoral response to HIV/AIDS, along with the continued involvement of key policy actors, including the Uganda AIDS Commission (UAC), international donors, civil society organizations (CSOs), and the First Lady, has significantly reduced HIV transmission rates in Uganda; nonetheless persistent gender inequality and harmful customary practices undermine the response. The study reveals first how the severity of HIV/AIDS and the advocacy role of a policy entrepreneur supported by bureaucrats, CSOs, and international donors promoted a multisectoral approach to HIV/AIDS. Second, it reveals how the coordinated and collaborative roles of key policy actors such as the UAC, the First Lady, international donors, and CSOs in implementing the multisectoral approach through the provision of funding, service delivery and public awareness programs at the national and local levels contributed substantially to the decline in HIV prevalence in Uganda. Finally, despite the significant progress in reducing HIV transmission following the implementation of the multisectoral approach, gender inequality and harmful customary practices persistently hinder the effective response to HIV/AIDS in Uganda.

description: The Shox homeobox 2 gene codes for a homeodomain transcription factor which is a critical mediator of proximal limb and hindbrain development, with a loss of expression in the limb and central nervous system resulting in a severe truncation of the developing stylopod and postnatal lethality, respectively. Shox2 expression is regulated by a combination of enhancers in the Shox2 regulatory landscape including the limb hindbrain control region (LHB) and over 19 other enhancers within the downstream Shox2 gene desert (S2GD). Here, we characterize the function and regulation of Shox2 in embryonic mouse development, expanding the mammalian limb development model and contributing to a better understanding of combinatorial gene regulation. First, the function of Shox2 in the patterning and outgrowth of the proximal limb is explored through single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of datasets from wild-type and Shox2-null embryonic limb buds. A combined approach of clustering and RNA velocity comparisons of these datasets reveal broad-scale changes in mesenchymal, progenitor, and chondrocyte populations in the early limb bud and altered trajectories of progenitor cells in the early embryonic limb bud. Second, the regulatory contribution of the S2GD and individual LHB enhancer were explored through the characterization of knockouts with a loss of S2GD activity in the limb and a genomic loss of the LHB enhancer, respectively. Inter-landmark calculations of stylopod lengths on adult reconstructions from µCT scans reveal that a loss of S2GD activity in the early limb mesenchyme results in a significant truncation of the humerus and femur, which is less severe, but phenotypically similar to the truncation in corresponding Shox2 mutants. Despite exhaustive phenotyping including geometric morphometrics, no significant change in length or morphology of the humerus or femur was detected in LHB knockout adult limbs. However, LHB knockout mice have an acoustic startle defect, likely associated with a detected loss of Shox2 expression in the embryonic hindbrain. These findings present the LHB enhancer as one of many enhancers in the S2GD which dynamically regulates expression of Shox2 uniquely in different tissues, with redundant activity in the developing limb and an essential activity contributing to Shox2 expression in the developing hindbrain.

Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2025

description: This paper introduces a closed-form analytical approach to the postbuckling analysis of simply supported shear-deformable composite laminated plates under uniaxial compression. The analysis is based on three different laminate theories in order to explicitly account for transverse shear deformations and uses a geometrically nonlinear formulation in conjunction with the Ritz method in order to enable closed-form analytical expressions for the state variables of buckled composite plates. Results are presented for several different plate configurations, and a comparison is performed with literature results as well as comparative finite element computations which leads to a very satisfying results accuracy. The presented analysis method delivers results without any significant numerical effort and is thus especially suited for practical applications where such postbuckling analyses are performed many times.

description: The limited access to Quranic knowledge for Urdu speakers is due to inadequate Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, which hinder precise Quranic understanding and retrieval. This research introduces a Transformer-based Urdu Quranic Question-Answering (QA) system, a novel approach that enhances semantic accuracy and retrieval precision, unlike existing Arabic-and English-based models. This study primarily leverages Transformer-based technology to develop a context-aware Urdu Quranic chatbot, unlike conventional systems, which primarily support Arabic and English Quranic texts. The system addresses the missing linguistic gaps in Quranic QA by enhancing both precision and semantic interpretation for Urdu users. The system was trained using Fateh Muhammad Jalandhari’s Urdu Quranic translation and fine-tuned with RoBERTafor enhanced semantic text analysis. It integrates TF-IDF with SBERT for improved question-answering performance. The NLP system went through multiple evaluation metrics were used to assess its precision and overall capability. The chatbot achieved high retrieval accuracy with a Mean Average Precision of 0.85, an Exact Match of 0.82, and an F1 Score of 0.88. User satisfaction reached 92%, indicating its effectiveness in providing precise Quranic answers. Future updateswill introduce that include voice detection features, expanded language support, and integration with Tafsir and Hadith databases for improved contextual understanding. This study enhances Urdu Quranic information retrieval by providing an improved NLP-based solution for automated Islamic knowledge dissemination.

description: The University of Calgary’s Multipurpose Uncrewed Fixed-wing Advanced Supersonic Aircraft (MUFASA) program intends to advance open knowledge of small-scale supersonic uncrewed aerial vehicle (SSUAV) aerodynamics using novel, air-breathing propulsion. Continued MUFASA development relies on a lightweight, downsized demonstrator possessing satisfactory low-speed stability and control characteristics. Following an iterative prototype development program, sustained flight of a second-generation demonstrator was achieved. Comprehensive development consisted of: modular design and fabrication; ongoing geometry, inertia, and power accommodations; and semi- and fully autonomous flight testing to acquire state, control and positioning data. Variation in static margin, and control surface trim and deflection limits contributing to successful tests were documented. A system identification with multivariate least-squares linear regression was performed with maneuver-specific autonomous data, invoking orthogonal functions as dictated by collinearity. A set of 25 local aerodynamic coefficients were estimated from regression to construct linearized models describing the aircraft’s non-dimensional aerodynamic forces and moments as functions of state and control derivatives. A comparison of coefficients to computational fluid dynamics estimates generally supports positive static and dynamic stability. Conspicuous differences help to identify longitudinal overdamping and poor elevator authority for the current center of gravity placement with presently sized control surfaces. A limited comparison to a six degree-of-freedom mathematical model over brief segments of flight data, applying the generated coefficients, shows satisfactory local agreement in aircraft attitude prediction, but inconsistent angular rates and moment damping. Unsustained flight attempts highlight sensitivity to environmental disturbances causing asymmetric flow effects, preceding lateral and directional destabilization. Sustained flight has qualified the current MUFASA version for future high-speed testing, subject to further refinement of maneuverability and control.

description: We show that a charged, massive scalar field in the vicinity of an electrically-charged Ayón-Beato-García (ABG) regular black hole has a spectrum of quasibound states that (in a certain parameter regime) grow exponentially with time, due to black hole superradiance. Superradiant quasibound states are made possible by the enhancement of the electrostatic potential at the horizon in nonlinear electrodynamics; in contrast, the Reissner-Nordström black hole does not possess such superradiant quasibound states. Here we compute the spectrum for a range of multipoles $\ell$ across the parameter space, and we find the fastest growth rate in the monopole mode. We find that a regular black hole with a small charge can still trigger a significant superradiant instability if the charge-to-mass ratio of the field is compensatingly large. We estimate the amount of black hole mass that can be deposited in the scalar field, finding an upper bound of circa $20\%$ in the extreme charge scenario. Finally, we consider the stationary bound states at the superradiant threshold, and we conjecture that, due to this instability, the ABG black hole will evolve towards a configuration with charged scalar hair.

description: Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) is a brain-inspired and light-weight machine learning method. It has received significant attention in the literature as a candidate to be applied in the wearable internet of things, near-sensor artificial intelligence applications and on-device processing. HDC is computationally less complex than traditional deep learning algorithms and typically achieves moderate to good classification performance. A key aspect that determines the performance of HDC is the encoding of the input data to the hyperdimensional (HD) space. This article proposes a novel light-weight approach relying only on native HD arithmetic vector operations to encode binarized images that preserves similarity of patterns at nearby locations by using point of interest selection and local linear mapping. The method reaches an accuracy of 97.35% on the test set for the MNIST data set and 84.12% for the Fashion-MNIST data set. These results outperform other studies using baseline HDC with different encoding approaches and are on par with more complex hybrid HDC models. The proposed encoding approach also demonstrates a higher robustness to noise and blur compared to the baseline encoding.

description: Continual learning (CL) is the research field that aims to build machine learning models that can accumulate knowledge continuously over different tasks without retraining from scratch. Previous studies have shown that pre-training graph neural networks (GNN) may lead to negative transfer (Hu et al., 2020) after fine-tuning, a setting which is closely related to CL. Thus, we focus on studying GNN in the continual graph learning (CGL) setting. We propose the first continual graph learning benchmark for spatio-temporal graphs and use it to benchmark well-known CGL methods in this novel setting. The benchmark is based on the N-UCLA and NTU-RGB+D datasets for skeleton-based action recognition. Beyond benchmarking for standard performance metrics, we study the class and task-order sensitivity of CGL methods, i.e., the impact of learning order on each class/task's performance, and the architectural sensitivity of CGL methods with backbone GNN at various widths and depths. We reveal that task-order robust methods can still be class-order sensitive and observe results that contradict previous empirical observations on architectural sensitivity in CL.

Andromeda XXXV: Working Hypothesis on the Evolution of Ultra-Faint Galaxies
Creators: name: Adán Estudillo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This study introduces the Emergent Time Hypothesis, a novel theoretical framework that proposes an alternative explanation for the observed properties of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies such as Andromeda XXXV. The model suggests that emergent time behaves dynamically, slowing down in high-density regions and accelerating in less dense areas. This temporal redistribution halts stellar evolution in one region while simultaneously advancing it in another, potentially generating what appears to be a duplicated galaxy in a more evolved state.

Inspired by Einstein's gravitational time dilation, the emergent time model extends this principle by treating time as a dynamic property of the system rather than a passive variable. This hypothesis offers a potential explanation for low-luminosity galaxies without invoking dark matter, suggesting that certain gravitational anomalies can be attributed to emergent time effects.

The paper presents theoretical predictions that could be tested through observational studies, such as the identification of galaxy pairs showing similar structural features but differing evolutionary states.

We invite the scientific community to explore these predictions and to investigate the feasibility of the emergent time model as a potential alternative to dark matter in the context of galaxy evolution.

description: We analyse a model that connects the neutrino sector and the dark sector of the universe via a mediator $Φ$, stabilised by a discrete $Z_4$ symmetry that breaks to a remnant $Z_2$ upon $Φ$ acquiring a non-zero vacuum expectation value ($v_ϕ$). The model accounts for the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe via additional contributions to the canonical Type-I leptogenesis. The $Z_4$ symmetry breaking scale ($v_ϕ$) in the model not only establishes a connection between the neutrino sector and the dark sector, but could also lead to gravitational wave signals that are within the reach of current and future experimental sensitivities.

Epithelial progenitor cells in human endometrium and endometriosis
Creators: name: Tan, Charmaine
Publisher: name: Figshare

description: The human endometrium is a highly regenerative tissue that undergoes rapid repair and restoration following menstruation and parturition. Endometrial stem/progenitor cells have been hypothesised to be responsible for this. Despite evidence for endometrial epithelial progenitor cells, there are currently no known markers for their prospective identification.
The aim of this thesis was to identify a candidate marker by screening endometrial cells against a panel of known and novel antibodies for immunoreactivity by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. H3 was identified as a priority and was assessed for its ability to be a candidate marker. Endometrial epithelial cells were flow cytometry sorted into subpopulations based upon the relative expression of H3 and EpCAM (an epithelial marker). These subpopulations were assessed for stem/progenitor cell properties using functional assays. This thesis demonstrates for the first time that H3 and EpCAM are putative markers that enrich for endometrial epithelial progenitor cells that are clonogenic and undergo self-renewal in vitro.
This thesis also investigated the role that endometrial stem/progenitor cells may have in the development of endometriosis. Shedding endometrium and peritoneal fluid were collected from menstruating women with and without endometriosis and assessed for presence of endometrial stem/progenitor cells. Clonal studies did not support the hypothesis that endometriosis is established because of the erroneous shedding of endometrial stem/progenitor cells during menstruation. This was in contrast to preliminary flow cytometry results that detected an increased expression of putative endometrial stem/progenitor cell markers (H3 and W5C5) in samples collected from endometriosis women. Further studies will investigate this.
The findings of this thesis have identified a putative marker that will enable further identification of endometrial epithelial progenitor cell markers in future. These markers will allow further characterisation of this rare population and investigations into their potential role in gynaecological disorders such as endometriosis. The current aetiology of endometriosis remains unknown. The identification of endometrial clonogenic cells within endometriotic lesions will provide future examination into what factors in peritoneal fluid may support ectopic endometrial growth so that improvements in treatment can be made.

Geometric Analysis and Condensed Matter Analogies in Topological Nucleonic Structure Theory
Creators: name: Francesco D'Agostino
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This study provides the analysis of nuclear spectral triples and their universal invariants is established, yielding robust classification theorems for topological phases, quantum field theories, and smooth 4--manifolds. Key results include the invariance of the universal invariant under \(\Sigma\)–preserving deformations, rigorous asymptotic expansions of the heat kernel and spectral action, and index–spectral flow correspondences that underpin nuclear Seiberg–Witten and instanton invariants. These findings provide a unified noncommutative approach to geometric and topological analysis.

description: Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are rapidly gaining prominence in the realm of fifth generation (5G)-Advanced, and predominantly, sixth generation (6G) mobile networks, offering a revolutionary approach to optimizing wireless communications. This article delves into the intricate world of the RIS technology, exploring its diverse hardware architectures and the resulting versatile operating modes. These include RISs with signal reception and processing units, sensors, amplification units, transmissive capability, multiple stacked components, and dynamic metasurface antennas. Furthermore, we shed light on emerging RIS applications, such as index and reflection modulation, non-coherent modulation, next generation multiple access, integrated sensing and communications (ISAC), energy harvesting, as well as aerial and vehicular networks. These exciting applications are set to transform the way we will wirelessly connect in the upcoming era of 6G. Finally, we review recent experimental RIS setups and present various open problems of the overviewed RIS hardware architectures and their applications. From enhancing network coverage to enabling new communication paradigms, RIS-empowered connectivity is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of wireless networking. This article unveils the underlying principles and potential impacts of RISs, focusing on cutting-edge developments of this physical-layer smart connectivity technology.

Second-order phase transitions and divergent linear response in dynamical mean-field theory
Creators: name: van Loon, Erik G. C. P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Second-order phase transitions appear as a divergence in one of the linear response functions. For a system of correlated electrons, the relevant divergent response can and does involve many-particle observables, most famously the double occupancy. Generally, evaluating the linear response function of many-particle observables requires a many-particle generalization of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. However, here I show that the divergence of linear response functions in dynamical mean-field theory is governed by a two-particle Bethe-Salpeter equation, even for many-particle observables. The reason for this is that the divergence at the second-order phase transition is produced by the self-consistent feedback of the dynamical mean-field.
