description: PurposeStudy on curcumin dissolved in natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) was aimed at exploiting their beneficial properties as drug carriers.MethodsThe concentration of dissolved curcumin in NADES was measured. Simulated gastrointestinal fluids were used to determine the concentration of curcumin and quantum chemistry computations were performed for clarifying the origin of curcumin solubility enhancement in NADES.ResultsNADES comprising choline chloride and glycerol had the highest potential for curcumin dissolution. This system was also successfully applied as an extraction medium for obtaining curcuminoids from natural sources, as well as an effective stabilizer preventing curcumin degradation from sunlight. The solubility of curcumin in simulated gastrointestinal fluids revealed that the significant increase of bioavailability takes place in the small intestinal fluid.ConclusionsSuspension of curcumin in NADES offers beneficial properties of this new liquid drug formulation starting from excreting from natural sources, through safe storage and ending on the final administration route. Therefore, there is a possibility of using a one-step process with this medium. The performed quantum chemistry computations clearly indicated the origin of the enhanced solubility of curcumin in NADES in the presence of intestinal fluids. Direct intermolecular contacts leading to hetero-molecular pairs with choline chloride and glycerol are responsible for elevating the bulk concentration of curcumin. Choline chloride plays a dominant role in the system and the complexes formed with curcumin are the most stable among all possible homo- and hetero-molecular pairs that can be found in NADES-curcumin systems.

description: Double groupoids are a type of higher groupoid structure that can arise when one has two distinct groupoid products on the same set of arrows. A particularly important example of such structures is the irrational torus and, more generally, strict 2-groups. Groupoid structures give rise to convolution operations on the space of arrows. Therefore, a double groupoid comes equipped with two product operations on the space of functions. In this article we investigate in what sense these two convolution operations are compatible. We use the representation theory of compact Lie groups to get insight into a certain class of 2-groups.

History

description: This dissertation analyzes the critical importance of the late nineteenth century to the development of a novel, radical approach to cancer that continues into the twenty-first century. From the 1870s to the 1890s, physicians and the public came to understand cancer in an entirely new light, founded upon the application of scientific principles, methods, and instruments to cancer medicine as well as upon a major change in the social perception of the disease. Cancer as it was conceptualized, diagnosed, and treated prior to this revolutionary transformation will be explored. The birth of cellular pathology will set the stage for the transition of cancer from a macroscopic, eponymous malady to a microscopic, cellular disease. The founding of an institution devoted solely to the care of cancer patients and the investigation of the disease will illustrate how societal beliefs, combined with personal tragedy, philanthropy, and medical expertise, legitimized the disease and fostered cancer research. The histories of the cancers of two Presidents of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant and Grover Cleveland, who were diagnosed with the disease only nine years apart during these critical years, will be compared and contrasted for the insights they provide on this great transformation. The scientific underpinnings of these changes will be examined from their roots in physics, chemistry, and biology to their applications in microscopy, anesthesia, and antisepsis. Modern cancer will be shown to be based firmly on the medical microscope and the advent of scientific surgery that occurred in the late nineteenth century.

title: Modelling variations in human learning in probabilistic decision-making tasks
Creators: name: Hunt, Dominic
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2020

description: This thesis focused on evaluating the capacity of models of human learning to encapsulate the action choices of a range of individuals performing probabilistic decision-making tasks. To do so, an extensible evaluation framework, Tinker Taylor py (TTpy), was developed in Python allowing models to be compared like-for-like across a range of tasks. TTpy allows models, tasks and fitting methods to be added or replaced without affecting the other parts of the simulation and fitting process. Models were drawn from the reinforcement learning literature along with a few similarly structured Bayesian learning models. The fitting assumed that the same model was used throughout a task to make all the choices. Using TTpy, significant uncertainty was found in parameter recovery for short, simple tasks across a range of models. This was traced back to significant overlap in the action sequences plausibly produced by different combinations of parameters. Replacing softmax with epsilon greedy, as the way of calculating the action choice probabilities, was found to improve parameter recovery in simulated data. Datasets from three existing unpublished probabilistic decision-making tasks were examined. These datasets were chosen as they contained information on extraversion for all their participants, their tasks were well established, and the tasks had a gains-only promotion focus. Only one of the three tasks provided models where most of the model participant fits had strong evidence that they were better fits than uniform random action choices. In light of the difficulties in parameter recovery for individual participants, the unusual step was taken of averaging the recovered parameters across a subset of the best performing and most consistently recovered models within the same family. A significant correlation was found between this learning rate parameter and the participant extraversion measure when the softmax parameter variance was taken into account.

description: We show the existence of Shilnikov-type dynamics and bifurcation behaviour in general discrete three-dimensional piecewise smooth maps and give analytical results for the occurence of such dynamical behaviour. Our main example in fact shows a `two-sided' Shilnikov dynamics, i.e. simultaneous looping and homoclinic intersection of the one-dimensional eigenmanfolds of fixed points on both sides of the border. We also present two complementary methods to analyse the return time of an orbit to the border: one based on recursion and another based on complex interpolation.

Phosphorus fixation characteristics of Valley Mine tailings
Creators: name: Hackinen, Coleen Marie, 1957-
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Phosphorus is often a limiting plant nutrient and, when applied as fertilizer, may be "fixed" in forms unavailable to plants. Thus an understanding of phosphorus behaviour in mine tailings is important to any reclamation program. Phosphorus adsorption isotherms were constructed for three copper mine tailing materials, one of which had been subjected to artificial weathering in Soxhlet apparatus. Equilibrating conditions were: 23 degrees C, O.01 M CaCl2 and distilled water, for 72 hours. There was no difference in adsorption as a result of the ionic concentration of the equilibrating solution. This was probably a reflection of the extremely low cation exchange capacity of the tailing material. Adsorption behaviour in all samples was best described by the Langmuir equation. Maximum adsorption of the untreated material occurred as 42-48 [nu/g P/g tailings, whereas the artificially weathered tailing adsorption maximum as reached as 105 [nu/g P/g tailings. At equilibrium concentrations exceeding approximately 60 ppm P, precipitation reactions were indicated. To obtain an equilibrium concentration of 0.5 ppm P in solution, the equivalent of 41 kg P2O5/ha must be supplied.

description: This thesis contributes towards science studies in the forestry milieu, a topic little investigated. In particular, it directs attention to the paucity of theoretical and critical discourse amongst the private landowner research community. While conducting research into private forest landowners, significant difficulties were noted within the forestry milieu over understanding complex socio-material systems. Consequently, an assertion was made that there exists a single research rationality that has epistemic (knowledge) and normative (belief) characteristics which restrict how landowners can be known. To assess the assertion, thirty-two research reports were analysed from within the landowner literature using insights from epistemology (theory of knowledge) and critical realism (philosophy on the nature of reality). The analysis was conducted through a general assessment of core epistemic and normative criteria across all cases, as well as of a single case showing how the normative and epistemic inter-relate. It was found that one knowledge framework dominates. As a generalisation, it lacks conceptual sophistication and is largely a-theoretical, emphasising data collection by questionnaire and data analysis by statistics. The dominant knowledge framework proves to be objectivist, determinist, dualist, positivist and foundationalist. It is being informed by a normative approach that promotes managerialism to the exclusion of any other relational system regarding people and forests. Although the knowledge framework appears rational, the lack of critique and diversity in ways of building knowledge both internal to it and external to it across the research community, suggests the science produced in the research community that studies landowners is irrational. This thesis may encourage critical dialogue alongside growing the potential for diverse theorisations and methodological care in research.

description: Integral symplectic 4-manifolds may be described in terms of Lefschetz fibrations. In this note we give a formula for the signature of any Lefschetz fibration in terms of the second cohomology of the moduli space of stable curves. As a consequence we see that the sphere in moduli space defined by any (not necessarily holomorphic) Lefschetz fibration has positive "symplectic volume"; it evaluates positively with the Kahler class. Some other applications of the signature formula and some more general results for genus two fibrations are discussed.

Multi-fluid Plasma Modelling

Plasma physics

description: Contemporary plasma fusion experiments use significant power injection for plasma heating. The injected power selectively heats only part of the plasma, which then transfers its energy to the rest of the plasma through collisions. Continuous power injection gives rise to a dynamic equilibrium whereby part of the plasma has a higher energy than the bulk of the plasma. Current plasma fluid treatments assume that the velocity distribution of each particle species is described by a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution function, and so may not be accurate for plasmas with a significant energetic component. A new method of modelling toroidally-symmetric plasma equilibria is derived in this thesis: multi-fluid plasma modelling. In this model, the non-Maxwellian plasma is decomposed into an arbitrary number of energy-resolved fluids. Each fluid is charge-neutral, canhave arbitrary rotation, and is described by a Maxwellian distribution function. To investigate the model numerically, it is implemented as a modification to an existing single-fluid plasma equilibrium code. The modified code is then used to investigate the effect of an energetic component on the plasma equilibrium. We find that the influence of the energetic component can be significant if it has large toroidal flow (or flow-shear). The plasma equilibrium is, however, relatively robust to variations in the energetic component’s toroidal flow and pressure profiles.

description: Segmentation is the assigning of a semantic class to every pixel in an image and is a prerequisite for various statistical analysis tasks in materials science, like phase quantification, physics simulations or morphological characterization. The wide range of length scales, imaging techniques and materials studied in materials science means any segmentation algorithm must generalise to unseen data and support abstract, user-defined semantic classes. Trainable segmentation is a popular interactive segmentation paradigm where a classifier is trained to map from image features to user drawn labels. SAMBA is a trainable segmentation tool that uses Meta's Segment Anything Model (SAM) for fast, high-quality label suggestions and a random forest classifier for robust, generalizable segmentations. It is accessible in the browser (https://www.sambasegment.com/) without the need to download any external dependencies. The segmentation backend is run in the cloud, so does not require the user to have powerful hardware.

description: This is a follow-up study to investigate the findings from the studies described in the pre-registration here: https://osf.io/h3u2c/. In the previous studies, we asked whether infants attend to two cues—affiliative touch and physical size—to predict who will respond to distress, and whether infants’ expectations about who will respond were asymmetric. In this investigation, we will test whether social touch by itself influences infants’ expectations about who will respond to distress. If so, this would suggest that when infants observe social touch, they may infer social closeness as a cue of a broader category of caregiving relationships. Collectively, these studies will provide insight on whether social touch is a recognizable cue of social intimacy for human infants.

description: We demonstrate a real-space imaging of a heterodyne signal of light that is produced as a result of the Brillouin light scattering by coherently driven magnons in magnetostatic modes. With this imaging technique, we characterize surface magnetostatic modes (Damon-Eshbach modes) in a one-dimensional magnonic crystal, which is formed by patterned aluminum strips deposited on the ferromagnetic film. The modified band structures of the magnonic crystal are deduced from the Fourier transforms of the real-space images. The heterodyne imaging provides a simple and powerful method to probe magnons in structured ferromagnetic films, paving a way to investigate more complex phenomena, such as Anderson localization and topological transport with magnons.

Sonic Superradiance in Bose Einstein Condensates

Subjects: Bose-Einstein condensation
Honours thesis
sonic super radiance

description: There are a number of interesting phenomena that are predicted to be a result of the behaviour of general relativity close to a black hole. The most well known of these is Hawking radiation. Although well established, the theory of Hawking radiation is unsupported by experiment, since black holes cannot be investigated in the lab. However, there is a strong similarity between the equations governing the behaviour of a sound wave in inviscid irrotational fluid systems and a massless scalar field in a gravitational system. This similarity provides hope that effects like Hawking radiation can be investigated in analogous fluid systems. The requirement that potential fluid analogues be barotropic, inviscid and irrotational indicates that superfluids would be the logical object of experiments designed to analyse such systems. The most easily controlled superfluid to which experimentalists have access is a Bose Einstein Condensate in an appropriately designed trap, and there is interest in designing an experiment to look for Hawking radiation in a BEC. A BEC is also ideal for that purpose because of the extremely low temperatures at which the condensation occurs, given the very low temperature of Hawking radiation. However, Hawking radiation itself is a very subtle effect, and it would be very hard to detect. This means that a related but more conspicuous effect is interesting as a stepping stone to a test for the more well known Hawking radiation. This related effect is Superradiance, a result of the reflection of an incoming scalar field with appropriate angular characteristics from the ergoregion of a massive rotating body such as a black hole. An ergoregion is a region around a rotating black hole or supermassive rotating star within which it is impossible to remain stationary with respect to an observer at infinity without exceeding the speed of light. Before an experiment can be designed to test for superradiance in a BEC it is necessary to establish whether the theory describing Bose-Einstein Condensates predicts that it will actually occur. Work on this problem thus far has either failed to consider whether the effect occurs, and instead focused on the consequences it would have, or has involved approximations that are not strictly valid. Here therefore, after an overview of both the analogy between fluid and gravitational systems and the specific theory related to Bose Einstein Condensates is an analysis using the full quantum theory of BECs. The initial consideration is analytic in character, but the equations do not allow for an exact solution within the approximations attempted that predict superradiance, so a change is made to a numerical simulation using the XMDS numerical simulation package. Unfortunately, this attempt also fails, since ongoing problems encountered in running the simulation consumed all the time available. A discussion of these problems is included.

My professional interests and an opportunity provided by the Care Plus (Coordinated Care) Trial in the ACT led me to consider client perceptions as a potentially appropriate measure. My research question is “can coordination of health care be usefully measured through client perceptions?” ¶ I addressed this question by developing and testing an instrument to measure perceptions of coordination called the Client Perceptions of Coordination Questionnaire (CPCQ). In the thesis I describe the processes of developing the instrument, testing it through use in several studies and considering how useful such an instrument may be for health services research. In addition to the Coordinated Care Trial, I conducted two validation studies - in a chronic pain population and a general practice sample. ¶ ...

description: Weak ergodicity breaking, particularly through quantum many-body scars (QMBS), has become a significant focus in many-body physics. Krylov state complexity quantifies the spread of quantum states within the Krylov basis and serves as a powerful diagnostic for analyzing nonergodic dynamics. In this work, we study spin-one XXZ magnets and reveal nonergodic behavior tied to QMBS. For the XY model, the nematic Néel state exhibits periodic revivals in Krylov complexity. In the generic XXZ model, we identify spin helix states as weakly ergodicity-breaking states, characterized by low entanglement and nonthermal dynamics. Across different scenarios, the Lanczos coefficients for scarred states display an elliptical pattern, reflecting a hidden SU(2) algebra that enables analytical results for Krylov complexity and fidelity. These findings, which exemplify the rare capability to characterize QMBS analytically, are feasible with current experimental techniques and offer deep insights into the nonergodic dynamics of interacting quantum systems.

If properly designed such an index can act as a summary variable for a larger set of stand structural attributes, providing a means of ranking stands in terms of their structural complexity, and by association, their biodiversity and vegetation condition. This type of index can also facilitate the use of alternative policy instruments for biodiversity conservation, such as mitigation banking, auctions and offsets, that rely on a common currency – the index value – that can be compared or traded between sites. My intention was to establish a clear and documentable methodology for developing a stand scale index of structural complexity, and to test this methodology using data from real stands.¶ ...

description: This paper relates uniform alpha-Hoelder continuity, or alpha-dimensionality, of spectral measures in an arbitrary interval to the Fourier transform of the measure. This is used to show that scaling exponents of exponential sums obtained from time series give local upper bounds on the degree of Hoelder continuity of the power spectrum of the series. The results have applications to generalized random walk, numerical detection of singular continuous spectra and to the energy growth in driven oscillators.

description: Fording Coal Limited operates the Fording River Operations coal mine located in southeastern British Columbia, Canada. The mine site, as shown in Figure 1, is within the medial range of the southern Canadian Rocky Mountains, approximately 136 km north of the United States - Canadian border, and 6 to 12 km west of the British Columbia - Alberta provincial border. The Fording River Operations produces an average of 4 million tons of cleaned coal per annum, primarily for export to Japan. Both thermal and metallurgical coal are produced at the minesite. Mining operations commenced in 1972 and are carried out on a continuous basis. The operations employ both truck/shovel and dragline mining techniques in multiple seam pits. Total material moved annually is approximately 42.6 million bank cubic metres (BCM) of waste and 6.0 million BCM of raw coal. This report summarizes the rationale and background with respect to resloping spoils at the minesite and describes the spoil resloping project carried out in 1984 in the South Greenhills spoil area.

description: An abstract, Hales-Jewett type extension of the polynomial van der Waerden Theorem [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 9 (1996),725-753] is established: Theorem. Let r,d,q \in \N. There exists N \in \N such that for any r-coloring of the set of subsets of V={1,...,N}^{d} x {1,...,q} there exist a set a \subset V and a nonempty set γ\subseteq {1,...,N} such that a \cap (γ^{d} x {1,...,q}) = \emptyset, and the subsets a, a \cup (γ^{d} x {1}), a \cup (γ^{d} x {2}), ..., a \cup (γ^{d} x {q}) are all of the same color. This ``polynomial'' Hales-Jewett theorem contains refinements of many combinatorial facts as special cases. The proof is achieved by introducing and developing the apparatus of set-polynomials (polynomials whose coefficients are finite sets) and applying the methods of topological dynamics.

Temporal Representation in speech

description: This thesis explores the treatment of temporal information in Automated Speech Recognition. It reviews the study of time in speech perception and concludes that while some temporal information in the speech signal is of crucial value in the speech decoding process not all temporal information is relevant to decoding. We then review the representation of temporal information in the main automated recognition techniques: Hidden Markov Models and Artificial Neural Networks. We find that both techniques have difficulty representing the type of temporal information that is phonetically or phonologically significant in the speech signal. ¶ ...

description: The present study provides a comparative assessment of non-invasive sensors as means of estimating the microbial contamination and time-on-shelf (i.e. storage time) of leafy green vegetables, using a novel unified spectra analysis workflow. Two fresh ready-to-eat green salads were used in the context of this study for the purpose of evaluating the efficiency and practical application of the presented workflow: rocket and baby spinach salads. The employed analysis workflow consisted of robust data normalization, powerful feature selection based on random forests regression, and selection of the number of partial least squares regression coefficients in the training process by estimating the knee-point on the explained variance plot. Training processes were based on microbiological and spectral data derived during storage of green salad samples at isothermal conditions (4, 8 and 12C), whereas testing was performed on data during storage under dynamic temperature conditions (simulating real-life temperature fluctuations in the food supply chain). Since an increasing interest in the use of non-invasive sensors in food quality assessment has been made evident in recent years, the unified spectra analysis workflow described herein, by being based on the creation/usage of limited sized featured sets, could be very useful in food-specific low-cost sensor development.

description: We propose a scheme to enhance the sensitivity of Non-Hermitian optomechanical mass-sensors. The benchmark system consists of two coupled optomechanical systems where the mechanical resonators are mechanically coupled. The optical cavities are driven either by a blue or red detuned laser to produce gain and loss, respectively. Moreover, the mechanical resonators are parametrically driven through the modulation of their spring constant. For a specific strength of the optical driving field and without parametric driving, the system features an Exceptional Point (EP). Any perturbation to the mechanical frequency (dissipation) induces a splitting (shifting) of the EP, which scales as the square root of the perturbation strength, resulting in a sensitivity-factor enhancement compared with conventional optomechanical sensors. The sensitivity enhancement induced by the shifting scenario is weak as compared to the one based on the splitting phenomenon. By switching on parametric driving, the sensitivity of both sensing schemes is greatly improved, yielding to a better performance of the sensor. We have also confirmed these results through an analysis of the output spectra and the transmissions of the optical cavities. In addition to enhancing EP sensitivity, our scheme also reveals nonlinear effects on sensing under splitting and shifting scenarii. This work sheds light on new mechanisms of enhancing the sensitivity of Non-Hermitian mass sensors, paving a way to improve sensors performance for better nanoparticles or pollutants detection, and for water treatment.

Randomized Block Proximal Methods for Distributed Stochastic Big-Data Optimization

description: In this paper we introduce a class of novel distributed algorithms for solving stochastic big-data convex optimization problems over directed graphs. In the addressed set-up, the dimension of the decision variable can be extremely high and the objective function can be nonsmooth. The general algorithm consists of two main steps: a consensus step and an update on a single block of the optimization variable, which is then broadcast to neighbors. Three special instances of the proposed method, involving particular problem structures, are then presented. In the general case, the convergence of a dynamic consensus algorithm over random row stochastic matrices is shown. Then, the convergence of the proposed algorithm to the optimal cost is proven in expected value. Exact convergence is achieved when using diminishing (local) stepsizes, while approximate convergence is attained when constant stepsizes are employed. The convergence rate is shown to be sublinear and an explicit rate is provided in the case of constant stepsizes. Finally, the algorithm is tested on a distributed classification problem, first on synthetic data and, then, on a real, high-dimensional, text dataset.

description: We find time discretizations for the two ''second flows'' of the Ablowitz-Ladik hierachy. These discretizations are described by local equations of motion, as opposed to the previously known ones, due to Taha and Ablowitz. Certain superpositions of our maps allow a one-field reduction and serve therefore as valid space-time discretizations of the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. We expect the performance of these discretizations to be much better then that of the Taha-Ablowitz scheme. The way of finding interpolating Hamiltonians for our maps is also indicated, as well as the solution of an initial value problem in terms of matrix factorizations.

description: Optimal decision directed equalization techniques for time dispersive communication channels are often too complex to implement. This thesis considers reduced complexity decision directed equalization that lowers complexity demands yet retains close to optimal performance. The first part of this dissertation consists of three reduced complexity algorithms based on the Viterbi Algorithm (VA) which are: the Parallel Trellis VA (PTVA); Time Reverse Reduced State Sequence Estimation (TR-RSSE); and Forward-Backward State Sequence Detection (FBSSD). The second part of the thesis considers structural modifications of the Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE), which is a special derivative of the VA, specifically, optimal vector quantization for fractionally spaced DFEs, and extended stability regions for baud spaced DFEs using passivity analysis are investigated. ¶ ...
