description: We study exponential Levy models with change-point which is a random variable, independent from initial Levy processes. On canonical space with initially enlarged filtration we describe all equivalent martingale measures for change-point model and we give the conditions for the existence of f-divergence minimal equivalent martingale measure. Using the connection between utility maximisation and $f$-divergence minimisation, we obtain a general formula for optimal strategy in change-point case for initially enlarged filtration and also for progressively enlarged filtration in the case of exponential utility. We illustrate our results considering the Black-Scholes model with change-point.

description: We define the bounded jump of A by A^b = {x | Exists i <= x [phi_i (x) converges and Phi_x^[A|phi_i(x)](x) converges} and let A^[nb] denote the n-th bounded jump. We demonstrate several properties of the bounded jump, including that it is strictly increasing and order preserving on the bounded Turing (bT) degrees (also known as the weak truth-table degrees). We show that the bounded jump is related to the Ershov hierarchy. Indeed, for n > 1 we have X <=_[bT] 0^[nb] iff X is omega^n-c.e. iff X <=_1 0^[nb], extending the classical result that X <=_[bT] 0' iff X is omega-c.e. Finally, we prove that the analogue of Shoenfield inversion holds for the bounded jump on the bounded Turing degrees. That is, for every X such that 0^b <=_[bT] X <=_[bT] 0^[2b], there is a Y <=_[bT] 0^b such that Y^b =_[bT] X.

Earthquake and deterioration inclusive probabilistic life cycle assessment (EDP-LCA) framework for buildings
Creators: name: Ramos Guerrero, Jorge Andrés
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: With increasing demand to reduce the carbon emission of buildings, it is crucial to quantify the life cycle environmental impact of new buildings, including the environmental impact due to natural hazards, such as earthquakes. In this thesis, a novel and comprehensive probabilistic framework has been developed to quantify the environmental impact of buildings, including uncertainties in the extraction and production, transportation, construction, seismic exposure and aging (including deterioration) and end-of-life stages. The developed framework is used to quantify the environmental impact of a 3-storey residential building located in Vancouver, Canada. The results show that there is a significant variation in the environmental impact of the prototype building in each stage of the life cycle assessment stages. If the prototype building is hit by the design level earthquake, it is expected that the median environmental impact for the prototype will be further increased by 43%. In addition, by accounting for the probability of occurrence of different earthquakes within a 50-year design life of the prototype building, the earthquake related damage will result in an additional 5% of the initial carbon emission of the building. This shows the importance of including earthquake hazard and deterioration in whole building life cycle assessments.

description: This paper presents new probability inequalities for sums of independent, random, self-adjoint matrices. These results place simple and easily verifiable hypotheses on the summands, and they deliver strong conclusions about the large-deviation behavior of the maximum eigenvalue of the sum. Tail bounds for the norm of a sum of random rectangular matrices follow as an immediate corollary. The proof techniques also yield some information about matrix-valued martingales. In other words, this paper provides noncommutative generalizations of the classical bounds associated with the names Azuma, Bennett, Bernstein, Chernoff, Hoeffding, and McDiarmid. The matrix inequalities promise the same diversity of application, ease of use, and strength of conclusion that have made the scalar inequalities so valuable.

description: Up to now, more than 150 fb−1 of integrated luminosity have been collected by the CMS and ATLAS experiments at 13 TeV. These large data-sets allow challenging searches for subtle signs of generic physics beyond the standard model (BSM). A theoretical framework to describe such effects is provided by the standard model effective field theory (SMEFT) in which BSM physics is encoded via higher-dimensional operators modifying the couplings of the standard model particles. Developing a comprehensive research program to measure the coefficients of these modified couplings with highest precision is one of the main tasks of the LHC experiments in the upcoming years.In this talk, latest experimental results on SMEFT measurements from the LHC experiments will be summarized, and a potential roadmap towards a first global analysis will be outlined using the example of the CMS experiment.

The effect of adiabatic and non-adiabatic spin transfer torques on vortex motion is highlighted. Similarities to and differences from the superconducting case are presented and explained. Current flow across a magnetically ordered state is shown to lead to a defect-unbinding phase transition which is intrinsically nonequilibrium in the sense of not being driven by a variation in effective temperature. The dependence of the density of vortices on the current density is determined.

description: It is proven that the connected pathwidth of any graph $G$ is at most $2\cdot\pw(G)+1$, where $\pw(G)$ is the pathwidth of $G$. The method is constructive, i.e. it yields an efficient algorithm that for a given path decomposition of width $k$ computes a connected path decomposition of width at most $2k+1$. The running time of the algorithm is $O(dk^2)$, where $d$ is the number of `bags' in the input path decomposition. The motivation for studying connected path decompositions comes from the connection between the pathwidth and the search number of a graph. One of the advantages of the above bound for connected pathwidth is an inequality $\csn(G)\leq 2\sn(G)+3$, where $\csn(G)$ and $\sn(G)$ are the connected search number and the search number of $G$. Moreover, the algorithm presented in this work can be used to convert a given search strategy using $k$ searchers into a (monotone) connected one using $2k+3$ searchers and starting at an arbitrary homebase.

description: This Article analyses several ways in which democracy as a core value of the European Union can be enforced against member States violating democratic principles. Following the crisis of democratic backsliding in several Member States, no legal action has been taken on the basis of a breach of democracy or democratic principles. A possible explanation is that violations of art. 2 TEU are subject to a specific enforcement procedure (laid down in art. 7 TEU), which is notoriously hard to trigger. Furthermore, since art. 2 TEU refers to abstract values, it is frequently asserted that values such as “democracy” cannot be legally enforced. This Article, however, claims that the value of democracy has a sufficiently clear core legal meaning in EU law to be legally enforceable. Secondly, this Article claims that EU law includes numerous other centralized (at EU level) and decentralized (at Member State level) enforcement mechanisms beyond art. 7 TEU that can be used to enforce democratic principles. The current absence of enforcement action against such Member States, therefore, is largely a political choice instead of a legal requirement.
Natural Cold Baryogenesis from Strongly Interacting Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

description: The mechanism of "cold electroweak baryogenesis" has been so far unpopular because its proposal has relied on the ad-hoc assumption of a period of hybrid inflation at the electroweak scale with the Higgs acting as the waterfall field. We argue here that cold baryogenesis can be naturally realized without the need to introduce any slow-roll potential. Our point is that composite Higgs models where electroweak symmetry breaking arises via a strongly first-order phase transition provide a well-motivated framework for cold baryogenesis. In this case, reheating proceeds by bubble collisions and we argue that this can induce changes in Chern-Simons number, which in the presence of new sources of CP violation commonly lead to baryogenesis. We illustrate this mechanism using as a source of CP violation an effective dimension-six operator which is free from EDM constraints, another advantage of cold baryogenesis compared to the standard theory of electroweak baryogenesis. Our results are general as they do not rely on any particular UV completion but only on a stage of supercooling ended by a first-order phase transition in the evolution of the universe, which can be natural if there is nearly conformal dynamics at the TeV scale. Besides, baryon-number violation originates from the Standard Model only.

description: This Article analyses the issue of the compatibility with the ne bis in idem principle of the double-track sanctioning systems present in various European legal orders in the light of the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. In particular, after a reconstruction of the most significant case-law after the famous ruling A and B v. Norway, three main critical points are brought into focus: the divergences between the national and European case-law on the interpretation of the notion of idem factum, the difficult practical application of the close connection test between proceedings developed by the European Court of Human Rights, which can be seen as the precipitate of an unsatisfactory balancing act of opposing interests, and the possible extension of the ne bis in idem principle also to cases of lis pendens.

description: We show that given a $G$-structure $P$ on a differentiable manifold $M$, if the group $G(M)$ of automorphisms of $P$ is big enough, then there exists the quotient of an stochastic flows $phi_t$ by $G(M)$, in the sense that $ϕ_t = ξ_t \circ ρ_t$ where $ξ_t \in G(M)$, the remainder $ρ_t$ has derivative which is vertical but transversal to the fibre of $P$. This geometrical context generalizes previous results where $M$ is a Riemannian manifold and $ϕ_t$ is decomposed with an isometric component, see Liao \cite{Liao1} and Ruffino \cite{Ruffino}, which in our context corresponds to the particular case of an SO(n)-structure on $M$.

description: The Article aims to investigate the relevance of the EU agency model in the evolving European legal order and test its enduring ability to provide a functional and normative response to the complex challenges the EU is facing, first and foremost the achievement of climate neutrality, the macro-objective at the heart of the European Green Deal (EGD). By its long-term vision, latitude and regulatory effort, the latter has the capacity to determine a deep impact on the EU and its regulatory space. The analysis of the dynamics, governance arrangements, policy options and legal developments that characterise the EGD can thus represent an interesting “litmus test” for measuring more general trends and transformations in the European legal order and, in cascade, its administrative system. In light of these premises, the essence of the argument is as follows. Within the climate neutrality regulatory framework, a subtle functional downsizing of the European Environment Agency occurred due to the recent creation of the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change, a multifunctional independent scientific body that should act as a point of reference for the EU on climate change issues. While testifying to the Union’s ever-growing confidence in the independence formula, now experienced in climate neutrality realm, its establishment represents a significant and challenging development, capable of deeply impacting future EU climate policy-making, yet also triggering a series of tensions within the EGD political project.

description: Sustaining efficiency and stability by properly controlling the equity to asset ratio is one of the most important and difficult challenges in bank management. Due to unexpected and abrupt decline of asset values, a bank must closely monitor its net worth as well as market conditions, and one of its important concerns is when to raise more capital so as not to violate capital adequacy requirements. In this paper, we model the tradeoff between avoiding costs of delay and premature capital raising, and solve the corresponding optimal stopping problem. In order to model defaults in a bank's loan/credit business portfolios, we represent its net worth by Levy processes, and solve explicitly for the double exponential jump diffusion process and for a general spectrally negative Levy process.

description: The study at Bapco Refining B.S.C aimed to manage the sulfur-contaminated soil that is currently at Bapco's refinery in Sitra, Bahrain, with a focus on the development of a suggested environmentally and economically feasible treatment method for the contaminated soil that contributes to the achievement of Bapco Refining's vision, mission, and objectives (For Bapco Refining's goal statements, see Appendix J). The DMAIC cycle, a lean six sigma problems-solving tool, was utilized in the study to identify and solve the problem from all angles in order to successfully accomplish the objectives and outputs. Following a thorough understanding of sulfur and its characteristics, its chemical effects on soil, and probable remediation, a research was undertaken on prospective remediation technologies available to Bapco Refining and local and international companies who provide the service.A decision matrix was established to rate the remediation technology and its provider from most effective to least effective, based on cost, time, sustainability, and the specificity of the company's offered quotation. Other factors like accessibility, location, and communication were also considered when establishing the best countermeasure for Bapco Refining. After conducting a thorough analysis, it was determined that the soil washing remediation technology developed by BAUER ENVIRONMENT BAHRAIN W.L.L is the most effective method and the primary countermeasure for treating and reusing the sulfur- contaminated soil at Bapco Refining. Since the process was the most cost-effective and explicit in terms of SMART goals, communication between BAUER and myself was the most collaborative and easy, and for the company's long-term record of working with corporations in the Middle East such as Kuwait Oil Company (KOC). Bapco Refining can successfully remove the sulfur-contaminated soil from the site, reuse the treated soil and profit from it. Bapco Refining are able reuse the same space for other projects by applying the primary countermeasure or the additional countermeasures described below.
The physical origin of optical flares following GRB 110205A and the nature of the outflow

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The optical emission of GRB 110205A is distinguished by two flares. In this work we examine two possible scenarios for the optical afterglow emission. In the first scenario, the first optical flare is the reverse shock emission of the main outflow and the second one is powered by the prolonged activity of central engine. We however find out that it is rather hard to interpret the late ($t>0.1$ day) afterglow data reasonably unless the GRB efficiency is very high ($\sim 0.95$). In the second scenario, the first optical flare is the low energy prompt emission and the second one is the reverse shock of the initial outflow. Within this scenario we can interpret the late afterglow emission self-consistently. The reverse shock region may be weakly magnetized and the decline of the second optical flare may be dominated by the high latitude emission, for which strong polarization evolution accompanying the quick decline is possible, as suggested by Fan et al. in 2008. Time-resolved polarimetry by RINGO2-like polarimeters will test our prediction directly.

description: The Data Stewardship Wizard is a tool for data management planning that is focused on getting the most value out of data management planning for the project itself rather than on fulfilling obligations. It is based on FAIR Data Stewardship, in which each data-related decision in a project acts to optimize the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and/or Reusability of the data. The background to this philosophy is that the first reuser of the data is the researcher himself. The tool encourages the consulting of expertise and experts, can help researchers avoid risks they did not know they would encounter, and can help them discover helpful technologies they did not know existed
Efficient cutter-workpiece engagement determination in multi-axis milling by voxel modeling
Creators: name: Nie, Zhengwen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Geometric modeling, including the computational tasks of cutter swept volume generation, in-process workpiece update, and cutter-workpiece engagement (CWE) extraction, is an essential component of virtual machining which simulates the use of machine tools for part machining. Geometric modeling not only verifies the machining tool paths but also provides the required geometric information for simulating the involved cutting mechanics and dynamics. CWE, the instantaneous engagement area between the cutter and in-process workpiece at a given cutter location, is the key input for cutting force prediction, chatter analysis, and process parameter optimization. Given that extracting such information accurately and efficiently is still a known challenge in multi-axis milling, this research aims to develop an efficient method for reliable CWE determination based on voxel modeling. To accomplish the computational tasks of workpiece update and CWE extraction, the algorithm of direct voxel tracing is developed to efficiently trace a line or any quadratic curve. As the tracing process is implemented by simple incremental/decremental operations, the algorithm yields high efficiency. Based on this tracing algorithm, a 3D circle voxelization method is developed to directly calculate immersion angels along the cutter axis. Direct voxel tracing is initially implemented for three-axis milling on a basic uniform-grid voxel modeling space. Since all sliced cutter profiles by voxel layer boundary planes are 2D circles, workpiece update and CWE determination can be accomplished simultaneously. The algorithm is then extended to five-axis milling, and the notion of a cutter internal voxel space boundary is proposed to capture the cutter internal space accurately and execute a minimum number of deactivation operations for workpiece model voxels. Due to the much-increased geometric complexity in five-axis milling, a 3D circle voxelization algorithm is needed for CWE extraction. To further increase the computational time and memory efficiency, such tracing algorithm is implemented on two-level voxel modeling grids. To apply the developed algorithms to all types of cutters, a versatile implicit function for the surface of a general milling tool has been formulated, and efficient workpiece update is achieved by forming an oriented cylindrical bounding surface around the general milling tool.

description: The game of war is one of the most popular international children's card games. In the beginning of the game, the pack is split into two parts, then on each move the players reveal their top cards. The player having the highest card collects both and returns them to the bottom of his hand. The player left with no cards loses. Those who played this game in their childhood did not always have enough patience to wait until the end of the game. A player who has collected almost all the cards can lose all but a few cards in the next 3 minutes. That way the children essentially conduct mathematical experiments observing chaotic dynamics. However, it is not quite so, as the rules of the game do not prescribe the order in which the winning player will put his take to the bottom of his hand: own card, then rival's or vice versa: rival's card, then own. We provide an example of a cycling game with fixed rules. Assume now that each player can seldom but regularly change the returning order. We have managed to prove that in this case the mathematical expectation of the length of the game is finite. In principle it is equivalent to the graph of the game, which has got edges corresponding to all acceptable transitions, having got the following property: from each initial configuration there is at least one path to the end of the game.

Employment transitions and weight change : a longitudinal study of retirement and work stoppage in middle- and older-aged adults in Canada using the CLSA
Creators: name: Tam, Alexander Chi Tsung
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The objectives of this thesis were to: (1) examine the sex/gender-specific impacts that employment status change (employment transitions, ETs) have on body weight and waist circumference (WC) changes in middle- and older-age adults and (2) assess the contribution of changes in health behaviours (HBs: sleep duration and quality, smoking status, alcohol consumption, and physical activity) in the association between ETs and anthropometric changes. Chapter 1: Eight bibliometric databases were systematically searched, with citations followed up. Twelve studies were included. All studies examined retirement but reported mixed results. Retirement either led to weight gain or did not alter weight compared to non-retirement. Occupation type modified the association: weight gain was more commonly reported among retirees from physically demanding occupations. Two included studies also examined job-loss and results were also mixed. Key confounders and commonly studied HBs were identified. Chapter 2 & 3: Two waves of data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging were used to classify 10,117 working women and men into three ET groups: stayed working, entered retirement, and stopped working. The outcomes were change in weight and WC on continuous scales, and change as categories (≥5% gain, ≥5% loss, no change). Multivariable linear and multinomial logistic regressions were adjusted for confounders and HBs. Multivariable linear regression models showed that weight changes did not differ across ETs in women, although changes in WC showed different directions across ET. By contrast, men who entered retirement lost more weight and had greater reductions in WC relative to men who stayed working (-0.59 kg, [95% CI: -1.11, -0.08] and -0.83 cm, [95% CI: -1.46, -0.20]). Final multinomial logistic regression models did not show significant associations; however, the direction of the effects remained. In models that included HB change variables, estimates were not attenuated. Retirement may result in small amounts of weight loss in middle-aged and older Canadian men. Work stoppage appears to lead to more WC increases in women, but the evidence is uncertain. Contrary to hypotheses that place HBs along the pathway between ETs and anthropometric change, the findings from the empirical study suggest that they are independent risk factors instead.

B physics constraints on a flavor symmetric scalar model to account for the ttbar asymmetry and Wjj excess at CDF

description: Recently Nelson et al. proposed an interesting flavor symmetric model to account for the top quark forward-backward asymmetry and the dijet anomaly at CDF simultaneously with just three parameters: a coupling constant of order one, and two scalar masses of 160 GeV and 220 GeV. However these fiducial values of the parameters lead to the branching ratio of a almost pure penguin B -> pi K decay about one hundred times larger than the experimental results. Consider also the precision electroweak constraints, the scalar masses should be at least around 500 GeV. Actually with the coupling constant larger than one, it is impossible to explain either of the two CDF measurements consistently in this model. But one may raise the charged scalar mass to, for example, 250 GeV and reduce the coupling strength to 0.6 to meet the B physics constraints. With this parameter set, the Wjj cross section is found to be in the right range. But due to the scalar mass splitting, its correction to T-parameter is about 3 sigma away from the precision electroweak constraints. In addition, the top quark forward-backward asymmetry should be well below 0.1 with this small coupling constant.

description: Identifying codes have been introduced in 1998 to model fault-detection in multiprocessor systems. In this paper, we introduce two variations of identifying codes: weak codes and light codes. They correspond to fault-detection by successive rounds. We give exact bounds for those two definitions for the family of cycles.

description: We present an unexpected connection between two map enumeration problems. The first one consists in counting planar maps with a boundary of prescribed length. The second one consists in counting planar maps with two points at a prescribed distance. We show that, in the general class of maps with controlled face degrees, the solution for both problems is actually encoded into the same quantity, respectively via its power series expansion and its continued fraction expansion. We then use known techniques for tackling the first problem in order to solve the second. This novel viewpoint provides a constructive approach for computing the so-called distance-dependent two-point function of general planar maps. We prove and extend some previously predicted exact formulas, which we identify in terms of particular Schur functions.
