description: Extreme precipitation (rain or/and snow) in upstream areas of the Himalayan region often triggers water and sediment hazards, including flash floods, landslides, debris flow, and river damming. These hazards often interact with the environmental and human systems, resulting in acute and chronic disasters that deleteriously impact the economy, infrastructure, and livelihoods. As cascading and compound hazards become more common in the Himalayan region, a more holistic approach is needed to understand the complex interaction among human, natural, and engineered systems and tackle problems connected to several system constraints. Recent catastrophes like the 2021 Melamchi disaster cannot be attributed to a single cause; rather, they result from several geomorphologic and hydroclimatic factors and physical processes. Individual and interacting dynamics and their cascading and compounding effects occurred in various settings, from high elevations to river valleys along the Melamchi River. This study diagnoses the likely causal effects of hydroclimatic processes of the 2021 Melamchi disaster by integrating space-borne remotely sensed data, hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling, and machine learning techniques. We have evaluated several scenarios of landslide damming and breaching and analyzed flooding impacts on major settlements across the Melamchi River. Model outputs evaluated using satellite flood imagery, field-based surveys, and published reports were used to understand the characteristics of the 2021 Melamchi disaster. We find that earlier rain episodes had saturated the soil and increased the river’s water level. Therefore, after the outburst of the landslide dam coupled with heavy downpours, a sudden release of huge water had enormous energy to inundate vast areas of flood plains and damaged settlements near riverbanks far downstream up to the Melamchi Bazar. It was not just one extreme event that led to the devastation but a series of non-extreme events. This further reinforces the idea that not just extreme events, but several not-extreme series of events may lead to disaster. Thus, the chances of such a sequence of cascading events must be investigated for risk computation along with extreme events.
Infrared Conductivity of Elemental Bismuth under Pressure: Evidence for an Avoided Lifshitz-Type Semimetal-Semiconductor Transition

description: The application of pressure to elemental bismuth reduces its conduction-valence band overlap, and results in a semimetal-semiconductor (SMSC) transition around 25 kbar. This transition is nominally of the topological "Lifshitz" Fermi surface variety, but there are open questions about the role of interactions at low charge densities. Using a novel pressure cell with optical access, we have performed an extensive study of bismuth's infrared conductivity under pressure. In contrast to the expected pure band behavior we find signatures of enhanced interaction effects, including strongly coupled charge-plasmon (plasmaron) features and a plasma frequency that remains finite up to the transition. These effect are inconsistent with a pure Lifshitz bandlike transition. We postulate that interactions play a central role in driving the transition.

description: We consider two calculi of pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with fibered boundary: Mazzeo's edge calculus, which has as local model the operators associated to products of closed manifolds with asymptotically hyperbolic spaces, and the phi calculus of Mazzeo and the second author, which is similarly modeled on products of closed manifolds with asymptotically Euclidean spaces. We construct an adiabatic calculus of operators interpolating between them, and use this to compute the `smooth' K-theory groups of the edge calculus, determine the existence of Fredholm quantizations of elliptic symbols, and establish a families index theorem in K-theory.
An analysis of conservation easements as a means of preserving open space
Creators: name: Caldow, Douglas Kennedy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Open space is one of the most important and most neglected parts of the urban fabric. The rush of rapid urbanization has consumed much land which might better have been left open to exploit its values to society for recreation, food production, flood prevention, aesthetics, and even for shaping urban development. In order for open space to fulfill these functions the use of the land must be planned in advance of development, and open land which has natural qualities that are valuable to society should be preserved. One method which is being used to preserve this land is through the use of conservation easements. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not conservation easements are an effective means of preserving open space, and which level of government is best able to use them. Therefore, the hypothesis was posed that, Conservation easements are an effective means of preserving open space, and they should be implemented by local public agencies. To reach a conclusion about this hypothesis an exhaustive review of all the available literature on the subject of conservation easements was conducted. This was followed by correspondence and interviews with representatives of several public and private bodies which were known to have been involved in the acquisition of easements, or were known to have considered the use of conservation easements. The analysis indicates that the successful use of conservation easements, their acceptance by both public officials and private landowners, and the resolution of the technical difficulties which are inevitable in the application of a developing concept, are evidence that conservation easements are an effective means of preserving open space. Furthermore, the analysis shows that various factors in the use of conservation easements mitigate for different conclusions as to which level of government can best implement them. Therefore, it is concluded that only some conservation easements should be implemented by local public agencies, and that the choice as to which level of government or private organization is most suitable should be based on a knowledge of the easement's purposes and the circumstances under which it is to be acquired and held, as well as on a knowledge of the capabilities of the various public and private bodies.

description: The accurate characterization of microearthquake sequences allows seismologists to better understand the physical processes involved in earthquake nucleation and rupture propagation and to gain insights on fault geometry at depth. Standard procedures for seismic sequences analysis are based on manual detection and phase-picking, requiring a huge amount of work from expert seismologists, particularly in the case of microseismic events. Here we show how the investigation of a low-magnitude foreshock-mainshock-aftershock sequence, occurred in August 2020 close to Castelsaraceno village (southern Italy), greatly benefited from the application of a semi-automated template matching and machine-learning based workflow. The phase-picking was automatically performed through a deep-learning algorithm on 202 microearthquakes detected between July and October 2020, followed by an automatic multi-step absolute and relative earthquake location procedure. The 72 relocated events of the seismic sequence were clustered in time (7–12 August) and in a narrow range of depths (10–12 km). The Ml 2.1 foreshock doublet and the Ml 2.9 mainshock identified a persistent asperity. The joint analysis of aftershocks distribution, the mainshock focal mechanism, and the geology of the study area suggest the occurrence of the sequence along a NNE-SSW left-lateral, transtensional fault in the brittle portion of the crystalline basement.

description: Due to climate change, the future Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) risk is more likely in the Himalayas. Despite several GLOF studies, little attention has been given to the combined surge that can result from a pair of upstream-downstream glacial lakes. We chose Upper and Lower Barun glacial lakes as a pilot study due to the region’s increasing population and hydropower investments and the possible outbursts of upper-lower glacial lakes. This study mainly considered four scenarios (100 and 50% breach combination of upper-lower lakes), using a two-dimensional dam break model and inundation propagation. Based on our observations, the glaciers in the study area shrank by 33 km2, and the two glacial lakes expanded by 2.06 km2 between 1976 and 2020. The modeling result suggests that the single flood triggered by Upper Barun cannot travel beyond 50 km; however, the combined flow from the lakes could reach over 85 km. Our results illustrate that at least 60 buildings, motorable bridges, and infrastructures of Arun hydropower along the river course have high damage potential. The study insights can be helpful for effectively planning and formulating various disaster risk reduction initiatives to mitigate the likely effects of glacial lake(s) outbursts.

description: The dark energy problem has led to speculation that not only may LCDM be wrong, but that the FLRW models themselves may not even provide the correct family of background models. We discuss how direct measurements of H(z) can be used to formulate tests of the standard paradigm in cosmology. On their own, such measurements can be used to test for deviations from flat LCDM. When combined with supernovae distances, Hubble rate measurements provide a test of the Copernican principle and the homogeneity assumption of the standard model, which is independent of dark energy or metric based theory of gravity. A modification of this test also provides a model independent observable for flatness which decorrelates curvature determination from dark energy. We investigate these tests using Hubble rate measurements from age data, as well as from a Hubble rate inferred from recent measurements of the baryon acoustic oscillations. While the current data is too weak to say anything significant, these tests are exciting prospects for the future.

description: We study kinetic master equations for chemical reactions involving the formation and the natural decay of unstable particles in a thermal bath. We consider the decay channel of one into two particles, and the inverse process, fusion of two thermal particles into one. We present the master equations the evolution of the density of the unstable particles in the early Universe. We obtain the thermal invariant reaction rate using as an input the free space (vacuum) decay time and show the medium quantum effects on $π+π\leftrightarrow ρ$ reaction relaxation time. As another laboratory example we describe the $K+K \leftrightarrow ϕ$ process in thermal hadronic gas in heavy-ion collisions. A particularly interesting application of our formalism is the $π^{0}\leftrightarrow γ+γ$ process in the early Universe. We also explore the physics of $π^{\pm}$ and $μ^{\pm}$ freeze-out in the Universe.

description: In the background of ongoing climate change, it is important to monitor the spatial and temporal changes of glacial lakes (GLs) since they influence snowmelt runoff, stream discharge, water resources, and glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF). However, accurate identification and mapping of GLs in the background of snow-clad mountains through visual interpretation of satellite data is a tedious and challenging assignment when multiyear time-series analysis is considered. To overcome this challenge, automated extraction of GLs in satellite images has been carried out in this study with the help of machine learning (ML). The novelty of this study is identification and tracking of GLs over three decades using ML and geospatial analysis using pixel-based image classification. For this, Random Forest Classifier (RFC) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) were employed. The methodology is demonstrated here for the identification and mapping of GLs in the Sikkim Himalaya from 1987 to 2020 and for forecasting the possible fate of these GLs through time-series modelling. The geospatial time-series analysis using Google Earth Engine, ML classifiers, and GIS framework, has captured the dynamics of GLs in Sikkim and has revealed the spatial and temporal patterns in GLs’ dimensions as well as GLOF risk.

description: The control of magnetic properties by means of an electric field is an important aspect in magnetism and magnetoelectronics. We here utilize magnetoelastic coupling in ferromagnetic/piezoelectric hybrids to realize a voltage control of magnetization orientation at room temperature. The samples consist of polycrystalline nickel thin films evaporated onto piezoelectric actuators. The magnetic properties of these multifunctional hybrids are investigated at room temperature as a function of the voltage controlled stress exerted by the actuator on the Ni film. Ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy shows that the magnetic easy axis in the Ni film plane is rotated by 90 degree upon changing the polarity of the voltage Vp applied to the actuator. In other words, the in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of the Ni film can be inverted via the application of an appropriate voltage Vp. Using SQUID magnetometry, the evolution of the magnetization vector is recorded as a function of Vp and of the external magnetic field. Changing Vp allows to reversibly adjust the magnetization orientation in the Ni film plane within a range of approximately 70 degree. All magnetometry data can be quantitatively understood in terms of the magnetic free energy determined from the ferromagnetic resonance experiments. These results demonstrate that magnetoelastic coupling in hybrid structures indeed is a viable option to control magnetization orientation in technologically relevant ferromagnetic thin films at room temperature.

description: The quantum cohomology of CP^1 provides a distinguished solution of the third Painleve equation. S. Cecotti and C. Vafa discovered this from a physical viewpoint. We derive it from a differential geometric viewpoint, using the theory of harmonic maps and in particular the generalized Weierstrass representation (DPW representation) for spacelike surfaces of constant mean curvature in Minkowski space. The nontrivial aspects are the characterization of the solution, and its global behaviour. From our point of view, the latter property says that the extended harmonic map remains entirely within a single Iwasawa orbit of the appropriate loop group.

description: We present a possibility of coupling a point-like, non-singular, mass distribution to four-dimensional quantum gravity in the nonperturbative setting of causal dynamical triangulations (CDT). In order to provide a point of comparison for the classical limit of the matter-coupled CDT model, we derive the spatial volume profile of the Euclidean Schwarzschild-de Sitter space glued to an interior matter solution. The volume profile is calculated with respect to a specific proper-time foliation matching the global time slicing present in CDT. It deviates in a characteristic manner from that of the pure-gravity model. The appearance of coordinate caustics and the compactness of the mass distribution in lattice units put an upper bound on the total mass for which these calculations are expected to be valid. We also discuss some of the implementation details for numerically measuring the expectation value of the volume profiles in the framework of CDT when coupled appropriately to the matter source.

description: Transport measurements in the hole-doped cuprates show a "strange metal" normal state with an electrical resistance which varies linearly with temperature. This strange metal phase is often identified with the quantum critical region of a zero temperature quantum critical point (QCP) at hole density x=x_m, near optimal doping. A long-standing problem with this picture is that low temperature experiments within the superconducting phase have not shown convincing signatures of such a optimal doping QCP (except in some cuprates with small superconducting critical temperatures). I review theoretical work which proposes a simple resolution of this enigma. The crossovers in the normal state are argued to be controlled by a QCP at x_m linked to the onset of spin density wave (SDW) order in a "large" Fermi surface metal, leading to small Fermi pockets for x

Chaotic quasi-collision trajectories in the 3-centre problem

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: We study a particular kind of chaotic dynamics for the planar 3-centre problem on small negative energy level sets. We know that chaotic motions exist, if we make the assumption that one of the centres is far away from the other two (see Bolotin and Negrini, J. Diff. Eq. 190 (2003), 539--558): this result has been obtained by the use of the Poincaré-Melnikov theory. Here we change the assumption on the third centre: we do not make any hypothesis on its position, and we obtain a perturbation of the 2-centre problem by assuming its intensity to be very small. Then, for a dense subset of possible positions of the perturbing centre on the real plane, we prove the existence of uniformly hyperbolic invariant sets of periodic and chaotic almost collision orbits by the use of a general result of Bolotin and MacKay (see Cel. Mech. & Dyn. Astr. 77 (2000), 49--75). To apply it, we must preliminarily construct chains of collision arcs in a proper way. We succeed in doing that by the classical regularisation of the 2-centre problem and the use of the periodic orbits of the regularised problem passing through the third centre.

description: We show that a well-known result on solutions of the Maurer--Cartan equation extends to arbitrary (inhomogeneous) odd forms: any such form with values in a Lie superalgebra satisfying $dø+ø^2=0$ is gauge-equivalent to a constant, $$ø=gCg^{-1}-dg\,g^{-1}\,.$$ This follows from a non-Abelian version of a chain homotopy formula making use of multiplicative integrals. An application to Lie algebroids and their non-linear analogs is given. Constructions presented here generalize to an abstract setting of differential Lie superalgebras where we arrive at the statement that odd elements (not necessarily satisfying the Maurer--Cartan equation) are homotopic\,---\,in a certain particular sense\,---\,if and only if they are gauge-equivalent.

description: The supermassive black hole candidate at the Galactic Center is surrounded by a parsec-scale star cluster, which contains a number of early type stars. The presence of such stars has been called a "paradox of youth" as star formation in the immediate vicinity of a supermassive black hole seemed difficult, as well as the transport of stars from far out in a massive-star lifetime. I will recall 30 years of technological developments which led to the current understanding of the nuclear cluster stellar population. The number of early type stars known at present is sufficient to access the 3D structure of this population and its dynamics, which in turn allows discriminating between the various possible origins proposed along the years.

Mass gap without vacuum energy
Creators: name: Holdom, B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider soft nonlocal deformations of massless theories that introduce a mass gap. By use of a renormalization scheme that preserves the ultraviolet softness of the deformation, renormalized quantities of low mass dimension, such as normal mass terms, vanish via finite counterterms. The same applies to the renormalized cosmological constant. We connect this discussion to gauge theories, since they are also subject to a soft nonlocal deformation due to the effects of Gribov copies. These effects are softer than usually portrayed.

Non-Gaussianities in Single Field Inflation and their Optimal Limits from the WMAP 5-year Data

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using the recently developed effective field theory of inflation, we argue that the size and the shape of the non-Gaussianities generated by single-field inflation are generically well described by two parameters: f_NL^equil, which characterizes the size of the signal that is peaked on equilateral configurations, and f_NL^orthog, which instead characterizes the size of the signal which is peaked both on equilateral configurations and flat-triangle configurations (with opposite signs). The shape of non-Gaussianities associated with f_NL^orthog is orthogonal to the one associated to f_NL^equil, and former analysis have been mostly blind to it. We perform the optimal analysis of the WMAP 5-year data for both of these parameters. We find no evidence of non-Gaussianity, and we have the following constraints: -125 < f_NL^equil < 435, -369 < f_NL^orthog < 71 at 95% CL. We show that both of these constraints can be translated into limits on parameters of the Lagrangian of single-field inflation. For one of them, the speed of sound of the inflaton fluctuations, we find that it is either bounded to be c_s > 0.011 at 95% CL. or alternatively to be so small that the higher-derivative kinetic term dominate at horizon crossing. We are able to put similar constraints on the other operators of the inflaton Lagrangian.

description: In this paper we study various particle physics effects of a light, scalar dark energy field with chameleon-like couplings to matter. We show that a chameleon model with only matter couplings will induce a coupling to photons. In doing so, we derive the first microphysical realization of a chameleonic dark energy model coupled to the electromagnetic field strength. This analysis provides additional motivation for current and near-future tests of axion-like and chameleon particles. We find a new bound on the coupling strength of chameleons in uniformly coupled models. We also study the effect of chameleon fields on Higgs production, which is relevant for hadron colliders. These are expected to manufacture Higgs particles through weak boson fusion, or associated production with a Z or W. We show that, like the Tevatron, the LHC will not be able to rule out or observe chameleons through this mechanism, because gauge invariance of the low energy Lagrangian suppresses the corrections that may arise.

A one-dimensional variational problem with continuous Lagrangian and singular minimizer
Creators: name: Gratwick, Richard

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Classical Analysis and ODEs (math.CA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We construct a continuous Lagrangian, strictly convex and superlinear in the third variable, such that the associated variational problem has a Lipschitz minimizer which is non-differentiable on a dense set. More precisely, the upper and lower Dini derivatives of the minimizer differ by a constant on a dense (hence second category) set. In particular, we show that mere continuity is an insufficient smoothness assumption for Tonelli's partial regularity theorem.

Software for a medium-scale hybrid computer
Creators: name: Crawley, Barry Gerome Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The combinations of analog and digital equipment to form hybrid installations are of such variety that hybrid software routines are generally restricted to particular hardware configurations. The software developed in this thesis is applicable and operational on the EAI PACE-231R-V; DEC PDP-9 Hybrid Computer. The programs (in the form of subroutines and handlers) are structured, according to the characteristics of this computer, to handle the general situations of hybrid programming; such situations as the synchronization of the analog and digital computers, and the transfer of data and control information. The present level of software development has considerably simplified the use of the interface for hybrid problem applications. Successive stages of software development would incorporate this stage, in whole or in part; each stage being more comprehensive and sophisticated than its predecessor.

description: The use of gas expansions to generate atomic or molecular beams has become a standard technique in nuclear and hadron physics for the production of polarized ion beams and gas targets. A direct simulation Monte Carlo method was used to understand the processes occurring in an expansion of highly dissociated hydrogen or deuterium gas at low densities. The results were verified in several measurements including time-of-flight and beam-profile determinations which showed that the supersonic gas expansions can properly be described by the Monte Carlo calculations. Additionally a new method of beam formation, the hollow carrier jet, was tested under the conditions of the atomic beam source operation.
