description: Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) were extracted in an eco-friendly manner from the crown of Ananas comosus (pineapple, AC SiNPs) and leaves of Saccharum ravannae (weed grass, SR SiNPs). Initial studies were performed to examine the adsorption of various cationic (Methylene blue, MB; Safranin, SA), anionic (Trypan Blue, TB; Eosin yellow, EY), and neutral dyes (Neutral red, NR). The investigation revealed that the maximum removal was achieved at an adsorbent dose of 1 g L−1 at an optimum pH of 7–8, at an equilibrium contact time of ∼15 mins for the dye concentration of 10 mg L−1 at 298 K. Adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm model, indicating multi-layered heterogeneous adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) for MB, SA, and NR was found to be 81.3 mg g−1, 21.74 mg g−1, and 24.75 mg g−1 respectively, for AC SiNPs. The qmax for SR SiNPs was found to be 78.12 mg g−1, 47 mg g−1, and 70 mg g−1 for MB, SA, and NR respectively. Moreover, desorption studies showed that till 4–5 cycles, >90% of the removal efficiency was retained. Thus, the biogenic and non-toxic SiNPs can be a greener, eco-friendly alternative material for dye removal from wastewater.

description: Combining multi-spectral satellite data and machine learning has been suggested as a method for monitoring plastic pollutants in the ocean environment. Recent studies have made theoretical progress regarding the identification of marine plastic via machine learning. However, no study has assessed the application of these methods for mapping and monitoring marine-plastic density. As such, this paper comprised of three main components: (1) the development of a machine learning model, (2) the construction of the MAP-Mapper, an automated tool for mapping marine-plastic density, and finally (3) an evaluation of the whole system for out-of-distribution test locations. The findings from this paper leverage the fact that machine learning models need to be high-precision to reduce the impact of false positives on results. The developed MAP-Mapper architectures provide users choices to reach high-precision ($\textit{abbv.}$ -HP) or optimum precision-recall ($\textit{abbv.}$ -Opt) values in terms of the training/test data set. Our MAP-Mapper-HP model greatly increased the precision of plastic detection to 95\%, whilst MAP-Mapper-Opt reaches precision-recall pair of 87\%-88\%. The MAP-Mapper contributes to the literature with the first tool to exploit advanced deep/machine learning and multi-spectral imagery to map marine-plastic density in automated software. The proposed data pipeline has taken a novel approach to map plastic density in ocean regions. As such, this enables an initial assessment of the challenges and opportunities of this method to help guide future work and scientific study.

description: We investigate systematically the impacts of heat bath used in molecular dynamics simulations on heat conduction in nanostructures exemplified by Silicon Nanowires (SiNWs) and Silicon/Germanium nano junction. It is found that multiple layers of Nosé-Hoover heat bath are required to reduce the temperature jump at the boundary, while only a single layer of Langevin heat bath is sufficient to generate a linear temperature profile with small boundary temperature jump. Moreover, an intermediate value of heat bath parameter is recommended for both Nosé-Hoover and Langevin heat bath in order to achieve correct temperature profile and thermal conductivity in homogeneous materials. Furthermore, the thermal rectification ratio in Si/Ge thermal diode depends on the choice of Nosé-Hoover heat bath parameter remarkably, which may lead to non-physical results. In contrast, Langevin heat bath is recommended because it can produce consistent results with experiment in large heat bath parameter range.

Mechanism of ferroelectric instabilities in non d^0 perovskites: LaCrO_3 versus CaMnO_3

description: The incompatibility of partial d occupation on the perovskite B-site with the standard charge transfer mechanism for ferroelectricity has been a central paradigm in multiferroics research. Nevertheless, it was recently shown by density functional theory calculations that CaMnO_3 exhibits a polar instability that even dominates over the octahedral tilting for slightly enlarged unit cell volume. Here, we present similar calculations for LaCrO_3, which has the same d^3 B-site electron configuration as CaMnO_3. We find that LaCrO_3 exhibits a very similar, albeit much weaker, polar instability as CaMnO_3. In addition, while the Born effective charge (BEC) of the Mn^{4+} cation in CaMnO_3 is highly anomalous, the BEC of Cr^{3+} in LaCrO_3 is only slightly enhanced. By decomposing the BECs into contributions of individual Wannier functions we show that the ferroelectric instabilities in both systems can be understood in terms of charge transfer between TM d and O p states, analogously to the standard d^0 perovskite ferroelectrics.

Benchmarking Long-tail Generalization with Likelihood Splits

description: In order to reliably process natural language, NLP systems must generalize to the long tail of rare utterances. We propose a method to create challenging benchmarks that require generalizing to the tail of the distribution by re-splitting existing datasets. We create 'Likelihood Splits' where examples that are assigned lower likelihood by a pre-trained language model (LM) are placed in the test set, and more likely examples are in the training set. This simple approach can be customized to construct meaningful train-test splits for a wide range of tasks. Likelihood Splits surface more challenges than random splits: relative error rates of state-of-the-art models increase by 59% for semantic parsing on Spider, 93% for natural language inference on SNLI, and 33% for yes/no question answering on BoolQ, on our splits compared with the corresponding random splits. Moreover, Likelihood Splits create fairer benchmarks than adversarial filtering; when the LM used to create the splits is also employed as the task model, our splits do not unfairly penalize the LM.

Future suburban forests in a changing climate : an approach for integrated planning and design in compact communities
Creators: name: Barron, Sara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: North American suburban landscapes are facing critical pressures such as climate change, increasing human health concerns, and loss of biodiversity and habitat. Suburban forests are a critical component of these landscapes and can help face these pressures in a number of ways. The emerging field of urban forestry is producing research that can inform policy and practice to design and plan for future forests in human landscapes. The field currently lacks tested approaches to holistically integrate the complex multiple factors involved with future planning. This study explores a new framework for a scenario-based approach incorporating a design process to examine potential solutions to these complex problems in a holistic way for suburban forests. A Canadian case study was used to develop and evaluate this framework approach combining multiple methods. Within this approach, future scenarios were used to explore suburban forest configurations in an already compact community through the lens of addressing three major critical pressures. This process was informed by participants representing a range of knowledge groups, including academics, practitioners, and local residents. Indicators and preferences elicited from these diverse participants suggested design directions for the emerging scenarios. During the process, each of the knowledge groups acknowledged some aspects of the indicators and preferences, but all missed something that others prioritized. Four scenarios were produced with distinctly different objectives and suburban forest retrofit configurations within the case study compact community. The scenarios were then assessed with a suite of tools and quantitative and qualitative methods, drawn from within the field of urban forestry and from other disciplines. Through informing, designing, and assessing the scenario set, the research found that there is potential for the performance of suburban forests to be enhanced within already dense built environments, and that a range of options exists for doing this. The combination of methods used in this study provide a holistic approach to support such planning and decision-making processes. The framework provides guidance on configurations and variables for suburban forest design and planning in the face of the critical pressures described above.
title: DEPRECATED: COMPRESSIVE MEMBRANE ACTION in BRIDGE DECK SLABS

description: Merged with duplicate record 10026.1/654 on 27.02.2017 by CS (TIS)
description: An elastic analysis of restrained slab strips shows that membrane action enhances serviceability behaviour. However, the enhancement is not as great as for strength and serviceability is critical when membrane action is considered in design. A relatively simple form of non-linear finite element analysis is developed which is able to model bridge deck behaviour allowing for membrane action. This reduces some of the disadvantages of non-linear analysis which have prevented its use in practice. It uses line elements but, because of novel features of the elements and because it considers all six degrees of freedom at each node, it is still able to model in-plane forces reasonably realistically. It gives acceptable predictions for behaviour. The tension stiffening functions used in non-linear analysis, which are important to the prediction of restraint, are considered. Explanations are proposed for several aspects of the behaviour and a new function is developed. This gives better results than previous expressions, particularly for deflections on unloading and reloading. Tests under full HB load have been performed on two half scale bridges. These, and the analysis, show that conventional design methods for deck slab reinforcement are very conservative. They also show that the restraint required to develop membrane action is not dependent on diaphragms; it comes from under-stressed material surrounding the critical areas. Thus, over much of a bridge's span, there is transverse tension in the slab and membrane action does not significantly enhance the resistance to global moments. Both bridge models failed by a wheel punching through the slab. It is shown that these were primarily brittle bending compression failures which were strongly influenced by global behaviour. This is confirmed both by the analysis and by the higher wheel load at failure in single wheel tests. Recommendations are made for using the results in design and assessment.

description: Kehagias-Sfetsos black hole in Hořava-Lifshitz gravity is probed through particle geodesics. Gravitational force of KS black hole becomes weaker than that of Schwarzschild around horizon and interior space. Particles can be always scattered or trapped in new closed orbits, unlike those falling forever in Schwarzschild black. The properties of null and timelike geodesics are classified with values of coupling constants. The precession rates of the orbits are evaluated. The time trajectories are also classified under different values of coupling constants for both null and timelike geodesics. Physical phenomena that may be observable are discussed.

description: The dynamics of a two dimensional autophoretic disk is quantified as a minimal model for the chaotic trajectories undertaken by active droplets. Via direct numerical simulations, we show that the mean-square displacement of the disk in a quiescent fluid is linear at long times. Surprisingly, however, this apparently diffusive behavior is non-Brownian, owing to strong cross-correlations in the displacement tensor. The effect of a shear flow field on the chaotic motion of a 2D autophoretic disk is examined. Here, the stresslet on the disk is chaotic for weak shear flows; a dilute suspension of such disks would exhibit a chaotic shear rheology. This chaotic rheology is quenched first into a periodic state and ultimately a steady state as the flow strength is increased.

description: We study the dynamics of ultracold atoms in tailored bichromatic optical lattices. By tuning the lattice parameters, one can readily engineer the band structure and realize a Dirac point, i.e. a true crossing of two Bloch bands. The dynamics in the vicinity of such a crossing is described by the one-dimensional Dirac equation, which is rigorously shown beyond the tight-binding approximation. Within this framework we analyze the effects of an external potential and demonstrate numerically that it is possible to demonstrate Klein tunneling with current experimental setups.

However, its effectiveness under saturated conditions is questionable, while network-wide application is limited due to high instrumentation cost. Perimeter control (PC) based on the concept of the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) is a state-of-the-art aggregated strategy that regulates exchange flows between regions, in order to maintain maximum regional travel production and prevent over-saturation. Yet, homogeneity assumption is hardly realistic in congested states, thus compromising PC efficiency. In this paper, the effectiveness of network-wide, parallel application of PC and MP embedded in a two-layer control framework is assessed with mesoscopic simulation. Aiming at reducing implementation cost of MP without significant performance loss, we propose a method to identify critical nodes for partial MP deployment. A modified version of Store-and-forward paradigm incorporating finite queue and spill-back consideration is used to test different configurations of the proposed framework, for a real large-scale network, in moderately and highly congested scenarios. Results show that: (i) combined control of MP and PC outperforms separate MP and PC applications in both demand scenarios; (ii) MP control in reduced critical node sets leads to similar or even better performance compared to full-network implementation, thus allowing for significant cost reduction; iii) the proposed control schemes improve system performance even under demand fluctuations of up to 20% of mean.

description: Diboson processes are one of the most accessible and stringent probes of the Standard Model's electroweak gauge structure at the LHC. They will be probed at the percent level at the high-luminosity LHC, challenging current theory predictions. We present transverse momentum resummed calculations at N3LL+NNLO for the processes $ZZ$, $WZ$, $WH$ and $ZH$, compare our predictions with most recent LHC data and present predictions at 13.6 TeV including theory uncertainty estimates. For $W^+W^-$ production we further present jet-veto resummed results at N3LLp+NNLO. Our calculations will be made publicly available in the upcoming MCFM release and allow future analyses to take advantage of improved predictions.

description: We present a summary of current knowledge about the AGT relations for conformal blocks with additional insertion of the simplest degenerate operator, and a special choice of the corresponding intermediate dimension, when the conformal blocks satisfy hypergeometric-type differential equations in position of the degenerate operator. A special attention is devoted to representation of conformal block through the beta-ensemble resolvents and to its asymptotics in the limit of large dimensions (both external and intermediate) taken asymmetrically in terms of the deformation epsilon-parameters. The next-to-leading term in the asymptotics defines the generating differential in the Bohr-Sommerfeld representation of the one-parameter deformed Seiberg-Witten prepotentials (whose full two-parameter deformation leads to Nekrasov functions). This generating differential is also shown to be the one-parameter version of the single-point resolvent for the corresponding beta-ensemble, and its periods in the perturbative limit of the gauge theory are expressed through the ratios of the Harish-Chandra function. The Shrödinger/Baxter equations, considered earlier in this context, directly follow from the differential equations for the degenerate conformal block. This provides a powerful method for evaluation of the single-deformed prepotentials, and even for the Seiberg-Witten prepotentials themselves. We mostly concentrate on the representative case of the insertion into the four-point block on sphere and one-point block on torus.

Decay spectroscopy of neutron-rich cadmium around the N = 82 shell closure
Creators: name: Bernier, Nikita
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: The neutron-rich cadmium isotopes around the well-known magic numbers at Z=50 and N=82 are prime candidates to study the evolving shell structure observed in exotic nuclei. Additionally, the extra binding energy observed around the nearby doubly-magic ¹³²Sn has direct implications for in astrophysical models, leading to the second r-process abundance peak at A≈130 and the corresponding waiting-point nuclei around N=82. The β-decay of the N=82 isotope ¹³⁰Cd into ¹³⁰In was investigated in 2002, but the information for states of the lighter indium isotope ¹²⁸In is still limited. Detailed beta-gamma-spectroscopy of ¹²⁸,¹³¹,¹³²Cd was accomplished using the GRIFFIN facility at TRIUMF. In ¹²⁸In, 32 new transitions and 11 new states have been observed in addition to the four previously observed excited states. The ¹²⁸Cd half-life has also been remeasured via the time distribution of the strongest gamma-rays in the decay scheme with a higher precision. For the decay of ¹³¹,¹³²Cd, results are compared with the recent EURICA data. These new results are compared with recent shell model and IMSRG calculations, highlighting the necessity to re-investigate even "well-known" decay schemes for missing transitions.

description: We propose a new method to probe the learning mechanism of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) by perturbing the system using Noise Injection Nodes (NINs). These nodes inject uncorrelated noise via additional optimizable weights to existing feed-forward network architectures, without changing the optimization algorithm. We find that the system displays distinct phases during training, dictated by the scale of injected noise. We first derive expressions for the dynamics of the network and utilize a simple linear model as a test case. We find that in some cases, the evolution of the noise nodes is similar to that of the unperturbed loss, thus indicating the possibility of using NINs to learn more about the full system in the future.

description: We explore feasibility of a quantum self-correcting memory based on 3D spin Hamiltonians with topological quantum order in which thermal diffusion of topological defects is suppressed by macroscopic energy barriers. To this end we characterize the energy landscape of stabilizer code Hamiltonians with local bounded-strength interactions which have a topologically ordered ground state but do not have string-like logical operators. We prove that any sequence of local errors mapping a ground state of such Hamiltonian to an orthogonal ground state must cross an energy barrier growing at least as a logarithm of the lattice size. Our bound on the energy barrier is shown to be tight up to a constant factor for one particular 3D spin Hamiltonian.

description: SGR~0501+4516 was discovered with the Swift satellite on 2008 August 22, after it emitted a series of very energetic bursts. Since then, the source was extensively monitored with Swift, the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and observed with Chandra and XMM-Newton, providing a wealth of information about its outburst behavior and burst induced changes of its persistent X-ray emission. Here we report the most accurate location of SGR~0501+4516 (with an accuracy of 0.11'') derived with Chandra. Using the combined RXTE, Swift/X-ray Telescope, Chandra and XMM-Newton observations we construct a phase connected timing solution with the longest time baseline (~240 days) to date for the source. We find that the pulse profile of the source is energy dependent and exhibits remarkable variations associated with the SGR~0501+4516 bursting activity. We also find significant spectral evolution (hardening) of the source persistent emission associated with bursts. Finally, we discuss the consequences of the SGR~0501+4516 proximity to the supernova remnant, SNR G160.9+2.6 (HB9).

description: Precast concrete deck panels (PCPs) are commonly used on simply supported girders. With recent advances on the use of spliced concrete girders and the potential to use PCPs on steel girder systems, the deck reinforcement and cracking behavior in the negative moment regions of continuous girder systems is of interest. However, there is currently inadequate guidance on reinforcing requirements for the cast-in-place portion of bridge decks constructed using PCPs in negative moment regions. Developing appropriate deck reinforcing requirements is critical for ensuring acceptable deck cracking behavior and to avoid long-term maintenance problems. The purpose of this study is to understand the cracking behavior of reinforced concrete bridge decks with PCPs in the negative moment regions of continuous girders under service loading and to develop suitable guidelines for their use in such applications. A major focus of the research is the influence of the reinforcing details on the control of deck crack width. Four concrete bridges were monitored during their construction, during subsequent live-load tests with loaded trucks, and while in-service under traffic loading. The monitoring demonstrated that concrete early-age shrinkage is the dominant reason for deck cracking. The measurements demonstrated the influence of the deck reinforcement ratio and rebar spacing on deck cracking behavior. Large-scale laboratory tests on composite steel tub girders showed that surface crack widths generally matched the predictions from the AASHTO crack width equation correlating with the maximum rebar stress. Additional direct tensile tests were carried out to measure the concrete tension-stiffening effects. Numerical parametric studies were carried out to confirm that the deck reinforcement ratio is the critical factor controlling the maximum rebar stress and therefore controlling crack width. A design procedure is proposed for the longitudinal deck reinforcement in the negative moment regions. This procedure shows that in most cases, providing a reinforcement ratio of 1.0% based upon the thickness of the cast-in- place layer limits the maximum rebar stress to less than 36-ksi (Gr. 60 steel) and maximum crack widths to 0.012 in. under the AASHTO LRFD Service I load combination.

description: The quantum χ^2-divergence has recently been introduced and applied to quantum channels (quantum Markov processes). In contrast to the classical setting the quantum χ^2-divergence is not unique but depends on the choice of quantum statistics. In the reference [11] a special one-parameter family of quantum χ^2_α(ρ,σ)-divergences for density matrices were studied, and it was established that they are convex functions in (ρ,σ) for parameter values α\in [0,1], thus mirroring the classical theorem for the χ^2(p,q)-divergence for probability distributions (p,q). We prove that any quantum χ^2-divergence is a convex function in its two arguments.

description: We introduce a general odd qubit entangled system composed of GHZ and Bell pairs and explicate its usefulness for quantum teleportation, information splitting and superdense coding. After demonstrating the superdense coding protocol on the five qubit system, we prove that '2N +1' classical bits can be sent by sending 'N+1' quantum bits using this channel. It is found that the five-qubit system is also ideal for arbitrary one qubit and two qubit teleportation and quantum information splitting (QIS). For the single qubit QIS, three different protocols are feasible, whereas for the two qubit QIS, only one protocol exists. Protocols for the arbitrary N-qubit state teleportation and quantum information splitting are then illustrated.

description: The change of physical conditions across the turbulent and magnetized interstellar medium (ISM) induces a 3D spatial variation of the properties of Galactic polarized emission. The observed signal results from the averaging of different spectral energy distributions (SED) and polarization angles, along and between lines of sight. As a consequence, the total Stokes parameters $Q$ and $U$ will have different distorted SEDs, so that the polarization angle becomes frequency dependent. In the present work, we show how this phenomenon similarly induces a different distorted SED for the three polarized angular power spectra $EE$, $BB$ and $EB$, implying a variation of the $EE/BB$ ratio with frequency. We demonstrate how the previously introduced spin-moment formalism provides a natural framework to grasp these effects, allowing us to derive analytical predictions for the spectral behaviors of the polarized spectra, focusing here on the example of thermal dust polarized emission. After a quantitative discussion based on a model combining emission from a filament with its background, we further reveal that the spectral complexity implemented in the dust models commonly used by the cosmic microwave background (CMB) community produce such effects. This new understanding is crucial for CMB component separation, in which an extreme accuracy is required in the modeling of the dust signal to allow for the search of the primordial imprints of inflation or cosmic birefringence. For the latter, as long as the dust $EB$ signal is not measured accurately, great caution is required about the assumptions made to model its spectral behavior, as it may not simply follow from the other dust angular power spectra.
