description: Space-time (ST) wave packets are pulsed optical beams endowed with precise spatio-temporal structure by virtue of which they exhibit unique and useful characteristics, such as propagation invariance and tunable group velocity. We study in detail here, and in two accompanying papers, the refraction of ST wave packets at planar interfaces between non-dispersive, homogeneous, isotropic dielectrics. We formulate a law of refraction that determines the change in the ST wave-packet group velocity across such an interface as a consequence of a newly identified optical refractive invariant that we call 'the spectral curvature'. Because the spectral curvature vanishes in conventional optical fields where the spatial and temporal degrees of freedom are separable, these phenomena have not been observed to date. We derive the laws of refraction for baseband, X-wave, and sideband ST wave packets that reveal fascinating refractive phenomena, especially for the former class of wave packets. We predict theoretically, and confirm experimentally in the accompanying papers, refractive phenomena such as group-velocity invariance (ST wave packets whose group velocity does not change across the interface), anomalous refraction (group-velocity increase in higher-index media), group-velocity inversion (change in the sign of the group velocity upon refraction but not its magnitude), and the dependence of the group velocity of the refracted ST wave packet on the angle of incidence.

description: The question addressed by this dissertation is how the human brain builds a coherent representation of the body, and how this representation is used to recognize its own body. Recent approaches by neuroimaging and TMS revealed hints for a distinct brain representation of human body, as compared with other stimulus categories. Neuropsychological studies demonstrated that body-parts and self body-parts recognition are separate processes sub-served by two different, even if possibly overlapping, networks within the brain.
Bodily self-recognition is one aspect of our ability to distinguish between self and others and the self/other distinction is a crucial aspect of social behaviour. This is the reason why I have conducted a series of experiment on subjects with everyday difficulties in social and emotional behaviour, such as patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). More specifically, I studied the implicit self body/face recognition (Chapter 6) and the influence of emotional body postures on bodily self-processing in TD children as well as in ASD children (Chapter 7). I found that the bodily self-recognition is present in TD and in ASD children and that emotional body postures modulate self and others’ body processing.
Subsequently, I compared implicit and explicit bodily self-recognition in a neuro-degenerative pathology, such as in PD patients, and I found a selective deficit in implicit but not in explicit self-recognition (Chapter 8). This finding suggests that implicit and explicit bodily self-recognition are separate processes subtended by different mechanisms that can be selectively impaired.
If the bodily self is crucial for self/other distinction, the space around the body (personal space) represents the space of interaction and communication with others. When, I studied this space in autism, I found that personal space regulation is impaired in ASD children (Chapter 9).

description: Time Reversal Symmetry (TRS) broken topological phases provide gapless surface states protected by topology, regardless of additional internal symmetries, spin or valley degrees of freedom. Despite the numerous demonstrations of 2D topological phases, few examples of 3D topological systems with TRS breaking exist. In this article, we devise a general strategy to design 3D Chern insulating (3D CI) cubic photonic crystals in a weakly TRS broken environment with orientable and arbitrarly large Chern vectors. The designs display topologically protected chiral and unidirectional surface states with disjoint equifrequency loops. The resulting crystals present the following novel characteristics: First, by increasing the Chern number, multiple surface states channels can be supported. Second, the Chern vector can be oriented along any direction simply changing the magnetization axis, opening up larger 3D CI/3D CI interfacing possibilities as compared to 2D. Third, by lowering the TRS breaking requirements, the system is ideal for realistic photonic applications where the magnetic response is weak.

description: The quasi-spherical Szekeres dust solutions are a generalization of the spherically symmetric Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi dust models where the spherical shells of constant mass are non-concentric. The quasi-spherical Szekeres dust solutions can be considered as cosmological models and are potentially models for the formation of primordial black holes in the early universe. Any collapsing quasi-spherical Szekeres dust solution where an apparent horizon covers all shell-crossings that will occur can be considered as a model for the formation of a black hole. In this paper we will show that the apparent horizon can be detected by a Cartan invariant. We will show that particular Cartan invariants characterize properties of these solutions which have a physical interpretation such as: the expansion or contraction of spacetime itself, the relative movement of matter shells, shell-crossings and the appearance of necks and bellies.

description: The geometrically frustrated 3D pyrochlore lattice has been long predicted to host a quantum spin liquid, an intrinsic long-range entangled state with fractionalized excitations. To date, most proposals for pyrochlore materials have focused on quantum spin ice, a $\mathrm{U(1)}$ quantum spin liquid whose only low energy excitations are emergent photons of Maxwell type. In this work, we explore the possibility of finding pyrochlore quantum spin liquids whose low energy theories go beyond this standard one. We give a complete classification of symmetric $\mathrm{U(1)}$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin liquids on the pyrochlore lattice within the projective symmetry group framework for fermionic spinons. We find 18 $\mathrm{U(1)}$ spin liquids and 28 $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin liquids that preserve pyrochlore space group symmetry while, upon further imposing time reversal symmetry, the numbers of classes become 16 and 48, respectively. For each class, the most general symmetry-allowed spinon mean-field Hamiltonian is given. Interestingly, we find that several $\mathrm{U(1)}$ spin liquid classes possess an unusual gapless multi-nodal-line structure ("nodal star") in the spinon bands, which is protected by the projective actions of the three-fold rotation and screw symmetries of the pyrochlore space group. Through a simple model, we study the effect of gauge fluctuations on such a nodal star spin liquid and propose that the leading terms in the low temperature specific heat have the scaling form $C/T\sim \sqrt{T}+\sqrt{T}/\ln T$, in contrast to the form $C/T \sim T^2$ of the standard $\mathrm{U(1)}$ pyrochlore spin liquid with gapped spinons.

description: This paper presents key aspects and trade-offs that designers and Human-Computer Interaction practitioners might encounter when designing multimodal interaction for older adults. The paper gathers literature on multimodal interaction and assistive technology, and describes a set of design challenges specific for older users. Building on these main design challenges, four trade-offs in the design of multimodal technology for this target group are presented and discussed. To highlight the relevance of the trade-offs in the design process of multimodal technology for older adults, two of the four reported trade-offs are illustrated with two user studies that explored mid-air and speech-based interaction with a tablet device. The first study investigates the design trade-offs related to redundant multimodal commands in older, middle-aged and younger adults, whereas the second one investigates the design choices related to the definition of a set of mid-air one-hand gestures and voice input commands. Further reflections highlight the design trade-offs that such considerations bring in the process, presenting an overview of the design choices involved and of their potential consequences.

Computer programming and kindergarten children in two learning environments
Creators: name: Clouston, Dorothy Ruth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study examined the appropriateness of introducing computer programming to kindergarten children. Three issues were explored in the research: 1. the programming capabilities of kindergarten children using a single keystroke program 2. suitable teaching techniques and learning environments for introducing programming 3. the benefits of programming at the kindergarten level. The subjects for the study were 40 kindergarten students from a surburban community in British Columbia, Canada. All students used the single keystroke program, DELTA DRAWING. Two teaching techniques were used—a structured method and a guided discovery method. Quantitative data were collected by administering five skills tests (skills relating to programming) as pretests and postests to both groups. A programming posttest was also given. Qualitative data were obtained by recording detailed observation reports for each of the 22 lessons (11 for each group), conducting an interview with each child at the end of the study and distributing a parent questionnaire. It can be concluded that it is appropriate to introduce computer programming to kindergarten students. The children in this study showed they are capable of programming. All students mastered some programming commands to instruct the "turtle" to move on the screen. DELTA DRAWING was determined to be a suitable means to introduce programming to kindergarten children. A combination of a structured teaching method and a guided discovery method is recommended for introducing a single keystroke program. It was observed that students in a guided discovery learning environment are more enthusiastic and motivated than students in a structured environment. Students need time to explore and make discoveries, but some structure is necessary to teach specific commands and procedures which may otherwise not be discovered. Social interaction should be encouraged while children use the computer, however most kindergarten children prefer to work on their own computer. There was no significant difference between the two groups on all but one of the five skills tests for both the pretests and the posttests. On the Programming Test the two groups did not perform significantly different. It can also be concluded that learning to program promotes cognitive development in certain areas. On all but one of the five skills test both the Structured Group and the Guided Discovery Group scored significantly better on the posttest than on the pretest. Lesson observation reports, student interviews and responses on parent questionnaires suggested that the computer experience was positive and rewarding for the kindergarten students.

description: Visual Attention Prediction (VAP) is a significant and imperative issue in the field of computer vision. Most of existing VAP methods are based on deep learning. However, they do not fully take advantage of the low-level contrast features while generating the visual attention map. In this paper, a novel VAP method is proposed to generate visual attention map via bio-inspired representation learning. The bio-inspired representation learning combines both low-level contrast and high-level semantic features simultaneously, which are developed by the fact that human eye is sensitive to the patches with high contrast and objects with high semantics. The proposed method is composed of three main steps: 1) feature extraction, 2) bio-inspired representation learning and 3) visual attention map generation. Firstly, the high-level semantic feature is extracted from the refined VGG16, while the low-level contrast feature is extracted by the proposed contrast feature extraction block in a deep network. Secondly, during bio-inspired representation learning, both the extracted low-level contrast and high-level semantic features are combined by the designed densely connected block, which is proposed to concatenate various features scale by scale. Finally, the weighted-fusion layer is exploited to generate the ultimate visual attention map based on the obtained representations after bio-inspired representation learning. Extensive experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

description: We investigate the construction of five-dimensional, three-charge supergravity solutions that only have a rotational U(1) isometry. We show that such solutions can be obtained as warped compactifications with a singular ambi-polar hyper-Kahler base space and singular warp factors. We show that the complete solution is regular around the critical surface of the ambi-polar base. We illustrate this by presenting the explicit form of the most general supersymmetric solutions that can be obtained from an Atiyah-Hitchin base space and its ambi-polar generalizations. We make a parallel analysis using an ambi-polar generalization of the Eguchi-Hanson base space metric. We also show how the bubbling procedure applied to the ambi-polar Eguchi-Hanson metric can convert it to a global AdS_2xS^3 compactification.

description: In the modern world, the connectivity-as-we-go model is gaining popularity. Internet-of-Things (IoT) envisions a future in which human beings communicate with each other and with devices that have identities and virtual personalities, as well as sensing, processing, and networking capabilities, which will allow the developing of smart environments that operate with little or no human intervention. In such IoT environments, that will have battery-operated sensors and devices, energy efficiency becomes a fundamental concern. Thus, energy-efficient (EE) connectivity is gaining significant attention from the industrial and academic communities. This work aims to provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art survey on the energy efficiency of medium access control (MAC) protocols for cellular IoT. we provide a detailed discussion on the sources of energy dissipation at the MAC layer and then propose solutions. In addition to reviewing the proposed MAC designs, we also provide insights and suggestions that can guide practitioners and researchers in designing EE MAC protocols that extend the battery life of IoT devices. Finally, we identify a range of challenging open problems that should be solved for providing EE MAC services for IoT devices, along with corresponding opportunities and future research ideas to address these challenges.

description: The refraction of space-time (ST) wave packets offers many fascinating surprises with respect to conventional pulsed beams. In paper (I) of this sequence, we described theoretically the refraction of all families of ST wave packets at normal and oblique incidence at a planar interface between two non-dispersive, homogeneous, isotropic dielectrics. Here, in paper (II) of this sequence, we present experimental verification of the novel refractive phenomena predicted for `baseband' ST wave packets upon normal incidence on a planar interface. Specifically, we observe group-velocity invariance, normal and anomalous refraction, and group-velocity inversion leading to group-delay cancellation. These phenomena are verified in a set of optical materials with refractive indices ranging from 1.38 to 1.76, including MgF$_2$, fused silica, BK7 glass, and sapphire. We also provide a geometrical representation of the physics associated with anomalous refraction in terms of the dynamics of the spectral support domain for ST wave packets on the surface of the light-cone.

description: In this paper, a wavelet-based iterative learning control (WILC) scheme with Fuzzy PD feedback is presented for a pneumatic control system with nonsmooth nonlinearities and uncertain parameters. The wavelet transform is employed to extract the learnable dynamics from measured output signal before it can be used to update the control profile. The wavelet transform is adopted to decompose the original signal into many low-resolution signals that contain the learnable and unlearnable parts. The desired control profile is then compared with the learnable part of the transformed signal. Thus, the effects from unlearnable dynamics on the controlled system can be attenuated by a Fuzzy PD feedback controller. As for the rules of Fuzzy PD controller in the feedback loop, a genetic algorithm (GA) is employed to search for the inference rules of optimization. A proportional-valve controlled pneumatic cylinder actuator system is used as the control target for simulation. Simulation results have shown a much-improved positiontracking performance.

Questions of value : an inquiry into the nature of research on teacher thinking
Creators: name: Court, Deborah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Early in this dissertation a defensible conception of teaching is laid out. This conception specifies that there are learning conditions for teaching, whereby teachers do their best to bring about learning in students, and that there is a moral condition for teaching, whereby teachers accord students dignity and respect. With this conception laid out, analyses are undertaken of literature on teacher thinking. The main purposes of these analyses are to see what conception of teaching is Implicit in studies of teacher thinking, and to compare this conception with the conception presented early in the dissertation. As a framework for analysis of literature on teacher thinking, Lakatos' idea of a research program is used. Literature on teacher thinking is viewed as a research program, the "hard core" of which is the implicit conception of teaching. Lakatos' idea of "problemshifts" is used to examine the moves from the study of teacher decision making, to teachers' practical knowledge, to teacher reflection. Studies of decision making and practical knowledge are found to be based on a conception of teaching which meets the learning conditions of teaching but not the moral condition, because these studies investigate teachers' knowledge but not their values and beliefs. Several reasons for the lack' of Investigation into values are postulated and explored, among these the possibility that values are seen by researchers as tacitly held and therefore inarticulable. Investigation of Polanyi's idea of tacit knowing leads to the argument that material which is tacitly held can indeed be articulated. The concept of values is then explored and it is argued that teachers' values should be investigated. The main reason why this investigation is important is that teachers' classroom actions and decisions are to a large extent motivated by their values. To understand teacher thinking, it is argued, researchers must understand how teachers' values affect their practice. It is also argued that to change and improve their teaching practice, and to meet the moral condition of teaching, teachers must gain insight into their own values. From the study of practical knowledge, research on teacher thinking is shown to be moving to the study of teachers' reflection on their practice. Work on reflection is in its infancy, but examination of writing on teacher reflection indicates that this research focus may offer potential access to teachers' values in a way that previous research has not. It is suggested that if research into teacher thinking includes teachers reflecting on their values, improvement of practice could result, and the "hard core" of the teacher thinking research program could change to include the moral condition of teaching.

description: We perform a thorough first-principles study on superconductivity in yttrium carbide halide Y$_2$$X_2$C$_2$ ($X$=Cl, Br, I) whose maximum transition temperature ($T_{\rm c}$) amounts to $\sim$10 K. A detailed analysis on the optimized crystal structures reveals that the Y$_2$C$_2$ blocks are compressed uniaxially upon the halogen substitution from Cl, Br to I, contrary to the monotonic expansion of the lattice vectors. With a nonempirical method based on the density functional theory for superconductors within the conventional phonon mechanism, we successfully reproduce the halogen dependence of $T_{\rm c}$. Anomalously enhanced coupling of one C$_2$ libration mode is observed in Y$_2$I$_2$C$_2$, which imply possible departure from the conventional pairing picture. Utilizing the Wannier representation of the electron-phonon coupling, we show that the halogen electronic orbitals and ionic vibrations scarcely contribute to the superconducting pairing. The halogen dependence of this system is hence an indirect effect of the halogen ions through the uniaxial compressive force on the superconducting Y$_2$C$_2$ blocks. We thus establish a quantitatively reliable picture of the superconducting physics of this system, extracting a unique effect of the atomic substitution which is potentially applicable to other superconductors.

description: We construct explicit approximating nets for crossed products of C*-algebras by actions of discrete quantum groups. This implies that C*-algebraic approximation properties such as nuclearity, exactness or completely bounded approximation property are preserved by taking crossed products by actions of amenable discrete quantum groups. We also show that the noncommutative topological entropy of a transformation commuting with the quantum group action does not change when we pass to the canonical extension to the crossed product. Both these results are extended to twisted crossed products via a stabilisation trick.

description: The refraction of space-time (ST) wave packets at planar interfaces between non-dispersive, homogeneous, isotropic dielectrics exhibit fascinating phenomena, even at normal incidence. Examples of such refractive phenomena include group-velocity invariance across the interface, anomalous refraction, and group-velocity inversion. Crucial differences emerge at oblique incidence with respect to the results established at normal incidence. For example, the group velocity of the refracted ST wave packet can be tuned simply by changing the angle of incidence. In paper (III) of this sequence, we present experimental verification of the refractive phenomena exhibited by ST wave packets at oblique incidence that were predicted in paper (I). We also examine a proposal for 'blind synchronization' whereby identical ST wave packets arrive simultaneously at different receivers without \textit{a priori} knowledge of their locations except that they are all located at the same depth beyond an interface between two media. A first proof-of-principle experimental demonstration of this effect is provided.

description: If the Higgs does not propagate into an otherwise universal extra dimension, then tree-level Kaluza-Klein number is not conserved in the Yukawa interactions. This leads to mixing between zero-mode fermions and their associated Kaluza-Klein excitations. The effect can be quite large for the top quark, since its mass (171.4 plus or minus 2.1 GeV) is approximately one-half the current Tevatron mass bound (about 350-400 GeV) for Kaluza-Klein excitations of quarks with one universal extra dimension. In contrast to the SM, the bi-unitary transformation that diagonalizes the mass matrix does not diagonalize the effective 4D Yukawa coupling matrix because of the presence of the 5D kinetic terms. This leads to violation of tree-level Kaluza-Klein number conservation in the gauge sector due to a unique feature of the 5D theory. This allows Kaluza-Klein excitations of the fermions to be produced singly, and opens up new decay channels in the gauge sector. We compute the cross section for the production of the lowest-lying Kaluza-Klein excitations of the top and bottom quarks in the non-universal Higgs model at the Large Hadron Collider, and consider their subsequent decays. The effect is quite large: For example, pair production of Kaluza-Klein excitations of the bottom quark will lead to a pair of top quarks plus a pair of charged weak gauge bosons. Since the production is via the strong interaction, such final states stand out well against the Standard Model background, and are observable at the LHC for a wide range of compactification scales. Finally, we discuss the effects that such a model has on the T- parameter, and propose a model with maximal mixing where the compactification scale may be as large as a universal extra dimension.

description: This paper presents the positive real analysis and synthesis for Networked Control Systems (NCS) in discrete time. Based on the definition of passivity, the sufficient condition of NCS is given by stochastic Lyapunov functional. The controller via state feedback is designed to guarantee the stability of NCS and closed-loop positive realness. It is shown that a mode-dependent positive real controller exists if a set of coupled linear matrix inequalities has solutions. The controller can be then constructed in terms of the solutions.

description: Spin$-$orbit alignment (SOA; i.e., the vector alignment between the halo spin and the orbital angular momentum of neighboring halos) provides an important clue to how galactic angular momenta develop. For this study, we extract virial-radius-wise contact halo pairs with mass ratios between 1/10 and 10 from a set of cosmological $N$-body simulations. In the spin--orbit angle distribution, we find a significant SOA in that 52.7%$\pm$0.2% of neighbors are on the prograde orbit. The SOA of our sample is mainly driven by low-mass target halos ($<10^{11.5}h^{-1}M_{\odot}$) with close merging neighbors, corroborating the notion that the tidal interaction is one of the physical origins of SOA. We also examine the correlation of SOA with the adjacent filament and find that halos closer to the filament show stronger SOA. Most interestingly, we discover for the first time that halos with the spin parallel to the filament experience most frequently the prograde-polar interaction (i.e., fairly perpendicular but still prograde interaction; spin--orbit angle $\sim$ 70$^{\circ}$). This instantly invokes the spin-flip event and the prograde-polar interaction will soon flip the spin of the halo to align it with the neighbor's orbital angular momentum. We propose that the SOA originates from the local cosmic flow along the anisotropic large-scale structure, especially that along the filament, and grows further by interactions with neighbors.

description: We investigate isophotal properties and dust morphology in the nuclear regions of 84 radio galaxies, imaged in the optical and near-infrared as part of Hubble Space Telescope snapshot surveys. We present a sample-wide trend between host galaxy isophotal structure and the inclination of dusty circumnuclear disks at the centers of 13 of these objects. We find that galaxies containing edge-on disks are invariably seen to possess boxy isophotes, while round, face-on disks are seen exclusively in objects with round or elliptical isophotes. Dust-rich sources with disky isophotes are observed only to possess dust in the form of extended filamentary lanes, and not in settled distributions like disks. As we do not expect that edge-on and face-on disks reside in different populations of galaxies, we conclude that perceived isophotal boxiness is dependent upon the angle at which the observer views the host galaxy's axis of symmetry. We discuss our results in the context of dissipative merger scenarios, and infer that dusty disks primarily reside in old, boxy remnants of gas-poor galaxy mergers, whereas filamentary dust lanes reside in younger disky remnants of gas-rich mergers.
