description: Conceptually reconstructing the physical conditions in relativistic jets, given the observed electromagnetic spectrum, poses a complex inverse problem. We aim to obtain a better understanding of the mechanisms operating in relativistic jets through the modeling of their broadband electromagnetic spectrum. We develop an inhomogeneous jet model where the injection of relativistic primary and secondary particles takes place in a spatially extended region. We calculate the contribution of all particles species to the jet emissivity due to several processes, and assess the effect of gamma-ray absorption in internal and external photon fields. A number of specific models with different parameters are computed to explore the possibilities of this scenario. We obtain a variety of spectral shapes depending on the model parameters, some of them predicting significant gamma-ray emission. The observed broadband spectrum of the low-mass microquasar XTE J1118+480 can be satisfactorily reproduced by the model. Our results indicate that outbursts similar to those displayed in the past by XTE J1118+480 might be detected with present-day gamma-ray instruments.

New approaches to linear graph modeling of distributed-parameter systems
Creators: name: Alipourazadi, Shahram
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Analytical modeling is an important fundamental step in the development of procedures such as simulation, design, control, and health monitoring of engineering systems. Typically, physical properties such as inertia, flexibility (or stiffness), capacitance, inductance, and energy dissipation (mechanical damping or electrical resistance) are spatially distributed in a physical dynamic system. Often in dynamic models, these characteristics are approximated by spatially “lumped” elements. For better accuracy, however, the true distributed nature of these parameters has to be incorporated into the model. Distributed parameter (DP) models are important in this context. This thesis concerns the representation of distributed parameter engineering systems using linear graphs (LG). Among possible approaches for modeling of engineering systems, linear graphs are used in the present work due to its numerous advantages as discussed in the thesis. An engineering system may possess physical properties in many domains such as mechanical, electrical, thermal, and fluid. Mechatronic systems are multi-domain systems, which typically possess at least electro-mechanical characteristics. Linear graphs present a domain-independent unified approach for modeling multi-domain systems. Furthermore, linear graphs have beneficial features in the development of automatic procedures for modeling and designing engineering systems, which are long-term goals of the present work. In this thesis, approaches are developed for the representation of distributed-parameter systems as LG models. Different approaches are presented for this purpose and compared. The LG modeling approach enables one to visualize the system structure before formulating the dynamic equations of the system. For example, for a DP system the structure of its LG model may possess a well-defined pattern. In this work, vector linear graphs are introduced to take advantage of these patterns. General notations and elements are defined for vector linear graphs. As a result of this development a new single element is generated for use in the modeling of distributed-parameter systems, particularly in the mechanical domain. In this thesis, a software toolbox is enhanced and presented for LG modeling, which is able to automatically extract the state space equations of a mechatronic system. This software tool is provided free for academic use and is accessible through the Internet. Throughout the thesis many comprehensive examples are provided to illustrate the developed concepts and procedures and their application.

description: In this paper, we describe Topic Pages, an inventory of scientific concepts and information around them extracted from a large collection of scientific books and journals. The main aim of Topic Pages is to provide all the necessary information to the readers to understand scientific concepts they come across while reading scholarly content in any scientific domain. Topic Pages are a collection of automatically generated information pages using NLP and ML, each corresponding to a scientific concept. Each page contains three pieces of information: a definition, related concepts, and the most relevant snippets, all extracted from scientific peer-reviewed publications. In this paper, we discuss the details of different components to extract each of these elements. The collection of pages in production contains over 360,000 Topic Pages across 20 different scientific domains with an average of 23 million unique visits per month, constituting it a popular source for scientific information.

description: The Lifting Problem for Commuting Subnormals (LPCS) asks for necessary and sufficient conditions for a pair of subnormal operators on Hilbert space to admit commuting normal extensions. \ We study LPCS within the class of commuting 2-variable weighted shifts $\mathbf{T} \equiv (T_1,T_2)$ with subnormal components $T_1$ and $T_2$, acting on the Hilbert space $\ell ^2(\mathbb{Z}^2_+)$ with canonical orthonormal basis $\{e_{(k_1,k_2)}\}_{k_1,k_2 \geq 0}$ . \ The \textit{core} of a commuting 2-variable weighted shift $\mathbf{T}$, $c(\mathbf{T})$, is the restriction of $\mathbf{T}$ to the invariant subspace generated by all vectors $e_{(k_1,k_2)}$ with $k_1,k_2 \geq 1$; we say that $c(\mathbf{T})$ is of \textit{tensor form} if it is unitarily equivalent to a shift of the form $(I \otimes W_α, W_β\otimes I)$, where $W_α$ and $W_β$ are subnormal unilateral weighted shifts. \ Given a 2-variable weighted shift $\mathbf{T}$ whose core is of tensor form, we prove that LPCS is solvable for $\mathbf{T}$ if and only if LPCS is solvable for any power $\mathbf{T}^{(m,n)}:=(T^m_1,T^n_2)$ ($m,n\geq 1$). \

description: Various applications leverage location data to increase transparency, efficiency, and safety in intralogistics. There are several properties of location data, such as the data's degrees of freedom, system latency, update rate, or accuracy. To select a suitable indoor localization system, corresponding data requirements must be derived by analyzing the considered application. To date, the dependencies of the system performance and location data requirements have not been satisfactorily described in the literature. Thus, no method exists to adequately derive location data requirements. For intralogistics, such a method is of particular relevance due to the high-cost sensitivity and heterogeneity of partially safety-relevant indoor localization applications. To fill this gap, a method for selecting and quantifying location data requirements for the application in intralogistics is presented in this work, creating substantial added value for warehouse managers and system integrators. The method is based on a spatial model that is built on the premise that location data is used to determine the presence or absence of an entity in a multidimensional interest space. The usage of the method is demonstrated in an exemplary case study for the application of 'Automated Pallet Booking'.

description: Swift J1822.3-1606 was discovered on 2011 July 14 by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope following the detection of several bursts. The source was found to have a period of 8.4377 s and was identified as a magnetar. Here we present a phase-connected timing analysis and the evolution of the flux and spectral properties using RXTE, Swift, and Chandra observations. We measure a spin frequency of 0.1185154343(8) s$^{-1}$ and a frequency derivative of $-4.3\pm0.3\times10^{-15}$ at MJD 55761.0, in a timing analysis that include significant non-zero second and third frequency derivatives that we attribute to timing noise. This corresponds to an estimated spin-down inferred dipole magnetic field of $B\sim5\times10^{13}$ G, consistent with previous estimates though still possibly affected by unmodelled noise. We find that the post-outburst 1--10 keV flux evolution can be characterized by a double-exponential decay with decay timescales of $15.5\pm0.5$ and $177\pm14$ days. We also fit the light curve with a crustal cooling model which suggests that the cooling results from heat injection into the outer crust. We find that the hardness-flux correlation observed in magnetar outbursts also characterizes the outburst of Swift J1822.3-1606. We compare the properties of Swift J1822.3-1606 with those of other magnetars and their outbursts.

description: In the iconic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, Judy Garland's character Dorothy exclaimed, "there's no place like home" (Fleming, 1939, 1:38:55). With the click of her heels, she awakes in her bed. Her wish to return to her most beloved place granted after a tornado turned her world upside down. Unfortunately, real life is often nothing like the films we view at leisure, and for many of us who have lost our homes due to a disaster event, our journey to find home again presents far more challenge and change than is depicted on the big screen. This difficulty is further compounded by concurring life factors, such as being a student. This research explores the transitional experiences of adult learners that navigated disaster-induced home loss in Alberta while enrolled in a full-time post-secondary program. Using a narrative methodological approach (Connelly & Clandinin, 2006) and guided by Schlossberg's Transition Theory (Schlossberg, 1981), the experiences of seven participants were storied from interviews and analyzed collaboratively. The findings of this endeavour suggest that the adult learners experienced a high degree of simultaneous transitions because of their disaster-induced home losses but noted that these transitions were often not recognized while they were occurring. When considered alongside their full-time post-secondary programming obligations, the participants noted that their educational experience had both a protective and inhibiting influence on their ability to manage the resultant change. This research has implications for policymakers and educators as they work to better support and understand adult learners in similar contexts, as well as implications for the adult learners themselves.

A design expert system for guidance and assessment of the design evolution of motion control systems
Creators: name: Gadala, Ibrahim M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The automation of engineering design is of great significance in the development of machinery and products in competitive industries. Using an automated and “optimal” design process to redesign the faulty components and poorly performing regions of an existing engineering system will facilitate the realization of realistic design alternatives, with benefits such as improved quality, reliability, and cost effectiveness. Motivated by such needs, this thesis develops a Design Expert System (DES) for motion control (MC) applications. The developed DES is expected to be integrated into a multi-system Evolutionary Design Framework (EDF) which is being developed in our laboratory. The EDF integrates techniques of condition monitoring, modeling, and evolutionary optimization for autonomous identification, diagnosis, and redesign of poorly performing aspects of an existing machine. Through integration with optimization routines and the use of a comprehensive knowledge base (KB) in the MC domain, the DES developed in this work is able to guide the evolution of optimal design alternatives and assess their feasibility and effectiveness. Due to the prevalence of electric motors as actuators in many industrial applications, MC design and actuator (motor) selection represent the application domain of the DES developed in the present research. The KB of the DES includes knowledge of typical mechanical structures used in industrial MC systems, common profiles of load speed or position (duty cycles), and the effect of practical issues such as s-curve profiling, geometric trajectory blending, intermittent duty cycles, rms torque, and the thermal response of motors. A systematic methodology for detailed design analysis and subsequent selection of commercially available motors, their drive systems, and transmission devices (e.g., gears) from an external database is developed. Selections by the DES are compared to those by a human designer for both hypothetical and actual designs, thereby verifying the DES procedure. To facilitate the interaction between different systems in the EDF, a graphical user interface (GUI) is created for the DES in Excel®. The DES is synchronized with Matlab® to guide optimization routines based on its built-in human expertise and heuristic design knowledge. A guided optimization case study is presented and benefits of the guidance process are discussed.

description: Within today's large-scale systems, one anomaly can impact millions of users. Detecting such events in real-time is essential to maintain the quality of services. It allows the monitoring team to prevent or diminish the impact of a failure. Logs are a core part of software development and maintenance, by recording detailed information at runtime. Such log data are universally available in nearly all computer systems. They enable developers as well as system maintainers to monitor and dissect anomalous events. For Cloud computing companies and large online platforms in general, growth is linked to the scaling potential. Automatizing the anomaly detection process is a promising way to ensure the scalability of monitoring capacities regarding the increasing volume of logs generated by modern systems. In this paper, we will introduce MoniLog, a distributed approach to detect real-time anomalies within large-scale environments. It aims to detect sequential and quantitative anomalies within a multi-source log stream. MoniLog is designed to structure a log stream and perform the monitoring of anomalous sequences. Its output classifier learns from the administrator's actions to label and evaluate the criticality level of anomalies.

Predicting adverse neurological outcomes in infants receiving therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy

Subjects: subject: HIE
subject: Therapeutic Hypothermia
subject: NIRS
subject: Neuroscience

description: Background: Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a categorization of term infants with brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen and/or blood flow to the brain. Despite, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) treatment, consequences of HIE can include life-long disability or even death. Current diagnostic tools may not always be associated with outcomes. Thus, better tools are needed for prognostication. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measures of cerebral regional oxygenation (rSO2) is a growing area of interest for prognostication. Objective: The objective of this study is to determine if changes in rSO2 measured via NIRS during TH are associated with brain injury or neurodevelopmental outcomes in term infants. Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of 36 term (>35 weeks gestation) infants born between March 01, 2018 – March 21, 2020. All infants met the criteria for TH based on hospital protocol. The rSO2 was measured alongside other variables in a clinical profile. Statistical analysis and machine learning (ML) algorithms were used to determine which variables were associated with the short-term outcome of brain injury on MRI or long-term outcomes of neurodevelopmental impairments within 3 years of life. Results: In our cohort, it was difficult to predict brain injury and neurodevelopmental outcomes based on HIE severity at birth as well as MRI. Mean rSO2 was not associated with MRI. Although not statistically significant, higher mean rSO2 values with less variability were associated with neurodevelopmental impairments and consistently higher in infants with moderate/severe HIE. NIRS may be an important predictor when only monitoring tools (MRI and EEG) are considered, and in conjunction with other variables in the clinical profile. Conclusion: These findings suggest that infants who go on to have neurodevelopmental impairments may have dysregulation in oxygen extraction, neurovascular coupling (NVC) or cerebral autoregulation in the cerebral cortical region of the brain. Future work should include increasing the sample size, enhancing data capture and machine learning (ML) algorithms, expanding follow-up to school age children as well as investigating brain functionality, connectivity regional oxygen saturation in various brain regions.

description: A poorly constrained parameter in the Standard Model of Cosmology is the lepton asymmetry l = \sum_f l_f=\sum_f(n_f+n_{ν_f})/s. Each flavour asymmetry l_f with f=e, μ, τ is the sum of the net particle density of the charged leptons n_f and their corresponding neutrinos, normalized with the entropy density s. Constraints on l_f \leq O(0.1) from BBN and CMB allow for lepton flavour asymmetries orders of magnitudes larger then the baryon asymmetry b ~ 10^{-10}. In this article we show how such large lepton (flavour) asymmetries influence the early universe, in particular the freeze out of WIMPs and the cosmic QCD transition.

description: Here I extend my last work about the origin of the pseudo-gaps in underdoped cuprates (arXiv: cond-mat. 1011.3206), to include the mechanism of superconductivity. This is done by adapting the formalism of the double correlations in systems with nested Fermi surfaces to the semi one dimensional system of strings of holes. It is proposed that magnetic interaction is crucial for the establishment of the pseudogap and the high temperature superconductivity. It is shown that superconductivity disturbs the completeness of the strings of holes, and creates fluctuations in their shapes. This, in turn, reduces the magnetic interaction and the pseudogap order.

Characterizing the effect of precise exercise intensity prescription on physiological adaptations to endurance training - an intensity domain-specific approach

description: Exercise intensity determines the magnitude of the metabolic disturbance which is directly related to the upregulation of signalling pathways responsible for the adaptative responses to exercise training. The exercise intensity domain schema describes four distinct domains (i.e., moderate-, heavy-, severe- and extreme-intensity) each characterized by distinct metabolic responses. These domains are separated by exercise thresholds – of which the position varies widely between individuals. The most commonly used endurance exercise intensity prescription approach utilizes a percentage of maximal values (i.e., maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) or maximal heart rate (HRmax)) to assign intensity. However, a major limitation to this approach is that it ignores the existence of individual exercise thresholds and the exercise intensity domains they create. This is problematic as research has shown that a given percentage of maximal values does not ensure a homogenous metabolic disturbance across individuals which complicates the interpretation of previous research studies that utilized this approach. Therefore, the true contribution of exercise intensity in modulating changes in response to endurance exercise training is unknown. The aim of this thesis was to apply a domain-based approach that precisely accounts for the metabolic disturbance of the intervention, to allow for the determination of the true effect of intensity on V̇O2max, submaximal thresholds, oxygen uptake (V̇O2) kinetics, and central and peripheral adaptations. The main findings were that i) changes in V̇O2max were intensity-domain dependent such that, with the exception of sprint interval training (SIT), greater magnitudes of change were found with progressively greater intensities with severe-intensity exercise (i.e., high-intensity interval training) producing the greatest magnitude of change, ii) this intensity-domain dependency was less pronounced when evaluating changes in the estimated lactate threshold and the maximal metabolic steady state and did not apply to the extreme-intensity domain (i.e. was not evident with SIT), iii) greater intensities of exercise resulted in central adaptations (i.e., maximal cardiac output and maximal stroke volume), with evidence for some peripheral adaptations to be present as well, iv) when compared to control, there was an equal speeding of V̇O2 kinetics across intervention with no significant correlations between changes in the speed of V̇O2 kinetics and performance variables.

description: In this study structural and mechanical properties of a 1 um thick Al2O3 coating, deposited on 316L stainless steel by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), subjected to high energy ion irradiation were assessed. Mechanical properties of pristine and ion-modified specimens were investigated using the nanoindentation technique. A comprehensive characterization combining Transmission Electron Microscopy and Grazing-Incidence X-ray Diffraction provided deep insight into the structure of the tested material at the nano- and micro- scale. Variation in the local atomic ordering of the irradiated zone at different doses was investigated using a reduced distribution function analysis obtained from electron diffraction data. Findings from nanoindentation measurements revealed a slight reduction in hardness of all irradiated layers. At the same time TEM examination indicated that the irradiated layer remained amorphous over the whole dpa range. No evidence of crystallization, void formation or element segregation was observed up to the highest implanted dose. Reported mechanical and structural findings were critically compared with each other pointing to the conclusion that under given irradiation conditions, over the whole range of doses used, alumina coatings exhibit excellent radiation resistance. Obtained data strongly suggest that investigated material may be considered as a promising candidate for next-generation nuclear reactors, especially LFR-type, where high corrosion protection is one of the highest prerogatives to be met.

description: In this thesis, I investigated whether incorporating medical images in the training of feature extractors would enhance their performance in medical imaging tasks. To achieve this objective, I conducted two studies. In the first study, I compared the performance of a feature extractor pretrained with natural images from ImageNet (referred to as ImageNet-derived) with a feature extractor trained from scratch without any pre-existing feature extraction capabilities. Both feature extractors were trained to classify medical images into nineteen categories. The results demonstrated that the performance of the feature extractor trained from scratch approached the performance of the ImageNet-derived feature extractor as the size of the training set increased. Additionally, I introduced a metric called the "transfer learning gap" to quantify the relative amount of knowledge transfer in transfer learning. The experiments revealed that training the feature extractor twice, first with the ImageNet dataset and then with 160,000 medical images, resulted in a better-performing deep learning model. This was an unexpected result and likely due to training with an insufficient number of medical images. Thus, I named the better performing, twice-trained feature extractor "TomoNet" and used it in my subsequent studies. In the second study, I compared the performance of TomoNet with that of the ImageNet-derived feature extractor in classifying medical images based on sex. This study failed to provide conclusive evidence that TomoNet, the twice-trained feature extractor, outperformed the ImageNet-derived feature extractor. Both models exhibited signs of overfitting, and there was potential evidence of catastrophic interference in TomoNet results. Finally, I presented an initial business model for a company aiming to commercialize products derived from the TomoNet studies. The business model focused on the commercialization of "Petal-Blue," a deep learning model designed to detect white matter hyperintensities associated with dementia in brain imaging. The Canvas Business Model framework was utilized to evaluate crucial aspects of the startup, including value proposition, customer segments, revenue streams, and partnerships.

description: Despite achieving endoscopic remission, a substantial number of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly females, continue to experience chronic abdominal pain. The mecha- nisms underlying these sex differences in pain perception remain unclear, but the gut microbiota and sex hormones are potential factors influencing pain sensitivity. The study utilizes a post- inflammatory DSS mouse model of IBD to examine sex-specific differences in the gut microbiota and visceral pain. We hypothesized that the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in modulating chronic visceral pain in females, leading to increased pain compared to ovariectomized females and male mice. Male and female mice were given DSS to induce colitis and thereafter allowed to recover to achieve a post-inflammatory state. Visceral pain was assessed using the visceral motor reflex (VMR) to colorectal distention (CRD). The results demonstrate that cycling female mice exhibit increased visceral pain compared to males and ovariectomized females, despite dis- playing decreased colitis severity compared to males. DSS-induced colitis altered the gut mi- crobial community in both male and cycling female mice, with sex-specific differences observed in metabolic profiles. Short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels were increased in post-inflammatory male mice but decreased in females. Furthermore, specific metabolite levels, such as adenine and d-tryptophan, exhibit sex-specific differences in post-inflammatory mice. Using fecal micro- biota transplant (FMT) to colonize germ-free mice with sex-hormone-appropriate and opposite sex-hormone microbiota, showed that the female post-inflammatory microbiota increased visceral hypersensitivity in both female and male recipient mice. These findings highlight the importance of sex-specific differences in the post-inflammatory gut microbiota and their influence on chronic pain. Understanding role of these differences in post-inflammatory visceral pain in IBD is crucial and may lead to the development of novel therapeutic approaches for managing chronic pain.

description: It is well known that ion irradiation can be successfully used to reproduce microstructural features triggered by neutron irradiation. Even though the irradiation process brings many benefits, it is also associated with several drawbacks. For example, the penetration depth of the ion in the material is very limited. This is particularly important for energies below MeV, ultimately reducing the number of available irradiation facilities. In addition to that, extracting information exclusively from the modified volume may be challenging. Therefore, extreme caution must be taken when interpreting obtained data. Our work aims to compare the findings of nanomechanical studies already conducted separately on thin amorphous ceramic coatings irradiated with ions of different energies, hence layers of different thicknesses. In this work, we show that in some instances, the 10% rule may be obeyed. In order to prove our finding, we compared results obtained for ion irradiated (with two energies: 0.25 and 1.2 MeV up to 25dpa) alumina coating system. Mechanical properties of pristine and ion-irradiated specimens were studied by nanoindentation technique. Interestingly, the qualitative relationship between nanohardness and irradiation damage level is very similar, regardless of the energy used. The presented work proves that for some materials (e.g., hard coatings), the qualitative assessment of the mechanical changes using nanoindentation might be feasible even for shallow implantation depths.

description: From 1939-1945, the traditionally pacifist Mennonites who called Canada their home were faced with difficult decisions when it came to their participation in the war effort. Their leadership was ill-prepared for the outbreak of hostilities and hurriedly began meeting in May 1939 to resolve the question of acceptable service. The inability to agree on what alternative to violence they were willing to offer their government created instability within the community. Through the efforts of some bishops, pastors and other representatives, a proposal for civilian-run alternative service work camps was accepted. Many embraced this tradition of non-resistance, appearing before judges to defend their people's centuries-old tradition of pacifism, by offering alternative service work. Others felt their call to participate in the military, through combative or non-violent means, such as the Restricted Medical Corps. While the latter may seem like the abandonment of their peace principles, both forms of service came with their own challenges and sacrifices for the community. This created challenges post-war, where some Mennonites were hailed as heroes for defending their faith position, whereas others who fought were ostracised for discrediting it. Regardless of the debate, their services throughout the conflict, both domestically and abroad, led the group, who already began to integrate into Canadian society, to dramatically accelerate their own assimilation.
