description: We propose a general correspondence between gravity and spin models, inspired by the well-known IR equivalence between lattice gauge theories and the spin models. This suggests a connection between continuous type Hawking-phase transitions in gravity and the continuous order-disorder transitions in ferromagnets. The black-hole phase corresponds to the ordered and the graviton gas corresponds to the disordered phases respectively. A simple set-up based on Einstein-dilaton gravity indicates that the vicinity of the phase transition is governed by a linear-dilaton CFT. Employing this CFT we calculate scaling of observables near T_c, and obtain mean-field scaling in a semi-classical approximation. In case of the XY model the Goldstone mode is identified with the zero mode of the NS-NS two-form. We show that the second speed of sound vanishes at the transition also with the mean field exponent.

description: We present an improved approach to the impedance spectroscopy of conductive liquid samples using four-electrode measurements. Our method enables impedance measurements of conductive liquids down to the sub-Hertz frequencies, avoiding the electrode polarization effects that usually cripple standard impedance analysers. We have successfully tested our apparatus with aqueous solutions of potassium chloride and gelatin. The first substance has shown flat spectra from $\sim$100 kHz down to sub-Hz range, while the results on gelatin clearly show the existence of two distinct low frequency conductive relaxations.

description: We study extremal black hole solutions of the S3 model (obtained by setting S=T=U in the STU model) using group theoretical methods. Upon dimensional reduction over time, the S3 model exhibits the pseudo-Riemannian coset structure G/K with G=G2(2) and K=SO(2,2). We study nilpotent K-orbits of G2(2) corresponding to non-rotating single-center extremal solutions. We find six such distinct K-orbits. Three of these orbits are supersymmetric, one is non-supersymmetric, and two are unphysical. We write general solutions and discuss examples in all four physical orbits. We show that all solutions in supersymmetric orbits when uplifted to five-dimensional minimal supergravity have single-center Gibbons-Hawking space as their four-dimensional Euclidean hyper-Kähler base space. We construct hitherto unknown extremal (supersymmetric as well as non-supersymmetric) pressureless black strings of minimal five-dimensional supergravity and briefly discuss their relation to black rings.

description: Let $ρ: G \to \operatorname{GL}(V)$ be a rational finite dimensional complex representation of a reductive linear algebraic group $G$, and let $σ_1,σ_n$ be a system of generators of the algebra of invariant polynomials $\mathbb{C}[V]^G$. We study the problem of lifting mappings $f : \mathbb{R}^q \supseteq U \to σ(V) \subseteq \mathbb{C}^n$ over the mapping of invariants $σ=(σ_1,σ_n) : V \to σ(V)$. Note that $σ(V)$ can be identified with the categorical quotient $V /\!\!/ G$ and its points correspond bijectively to the closed orbits in $V$. We prove that, if $f$ belongs to a quasianalytic subclass $\mathcal{C} \subseteq C^\infty$ satisfying some mild closedness properties which guarantee resolution of singularities in $\mathcal{C}$ (e.g.\ the real analytic class), then $f$ admits a lift of the same class $\mathcal{C}$ after desingularization by local blow-ups and local power substitutions. As a consequence we show that $f$ itself allows for a lift which belongs to $SBV_{\operatorname{loc}}$ (i.e.\ special functions of bounded variation). If $ρ$ is a real representation of a compact Lie group, we obtain stronger versions.

description: High-resolution X-ray scattering studies of the nonpolar thermotropic liquid crystal 4-n-pentylphenylthiol-4'-n-octyloxybenzoate (\bar{8}S5) in aerosil gel nano-networks reveal that the aerosil-induced disorder significantly alters both the nematic to Smectic-A and Smectic-A to Smectic-C phase transitions. The limiting Smectic-A correlation length follows a power-law dependence on the aerosil density in quantitative agreement with the limiting lengths measured previously in other Smectic-A liquid crystal gels. The Smectic-A to Smectic-C liquid crystalline phase transition is altered fundamentally by the presence of the aerosil gel. The onset of the Smectic-C phase remains relatively sharp but there is an extended coexistence region where Smectic-A and Smectic-C domains can exist.
Grx4 : a key regulator of secondary metabolism, nitrogen uptake, and iron homeostasis in the corn smut fungus, Ustilago maydis
Creators: name: McCotter, Sean Wesley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The corn smut fungus, Ustilago maydis, is the premier basidiomycete model for the study of biotrophic plant-pathogen interactions. In fungi, monothiol glutaredoxins are central regulators of key cellular functions such as iron homeostasis, cell wall integrity and redox status via their interactions with other proteins as well as iron-sulfur clusters and glutathione. In this study I characterized the novel roles of the monothiol glutaredoxin Grx4 in the biology of U. maydis. In addition to its roles identified in other fungi, Grx4 is necessary for normal pathogenesis by U. maydis on its plant host, Zea mays. Mutants expressing a conditional allele of grx4 under the control of the arabinose-induced/glucose-repressed promoter Pcrg, exhibited decreased virulence on maize which correlated with grx4 transcript levels at the time of infection. Additionally, perturbations were detected in homeostasis and perception of the essential nutrients iron and nitrogen following grx4 repression in glucose-containing media. Furthermore, grx4 repression strongly altered secondary metabolism, leading to induction of melanin and itaconic acid biosynthetic genes and accumulation of these metabolites in vitro. A subset of Grx4-regulated multicopper oxidase genes with possible roles in secondary metabolism, (particularly genes potentially involved in melanin biosynthesis) were targeted for further reverse genetic study. This aspect of the work identified the key laccase enzyme required for melanization and laccase activity by U. maydis in a variety of conditions, Lac2. It also identified hitherto unknown roles in virulence for this gene family. Together, these data suggest that glutaredoxins could play important roles in the virulence of plant pathogenic fungi in addition to their established roles as key regulators of fundamental cellular processes. The involvement of Grx4 in the production by U. maydis of industrially relevant secondary metabolites (e.g., itaconic acid) also renders these findings of biotechnological interest.

description: We resolve the breakdown of angular momentum conservation on two-dimensional photon tunneling by considering spin Hall effect (SHE) of light. This interesting effect manifests itself as polarization-dependent transverse shifts for a classic wave packet tunneling through a prism-air-prism barrier. For a certain circularly polarized component, the transverse shifts can be modulated by altering the refractive index gradient associated with the two prisms. We find that the SHE in conventional beam refraction can be evidently enhanced via photon tunneling mechanism. The polarization-dependent transverse shift is governed by the total angular momentum conservation law, while the polarization-dependent angular shift is governed by the total linear momentum law. These findings open the possibility for developing new nano-photonic devices and can be extrapolated to other physical systems.

Investigation into the mechanisms behind the differential inhibition of Listeria monocytogenes in soft-ripened cheeses
Creators: name: Falardeau, Justin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Soft-ripened cheeses (e.g., Camembert; SRC) are at risk for the growth of the Listeria monocytogenes due to favourable moisture and pH compared to other cheeses; however, the L. monocytogenes growth is not uniform across all SRC. The cheese microbiome, which is influenced by the farm and processing environments, may affect L. monocytogenes growth. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to investigate how the taxonomic and functional profiles of SRC microbiomes may affect the growth of L. monocytogenes. Forty-three SRC were inoculated with L. monocytogenes, and pathogen growth was monitored over 12 days at 8°C by select plating. Cheeses were produced from both raw (n=12) and pasteurized (n=31) milk. The taxonomic and functional profiles of the cheeses microbiomes was investigated using 16S rRNA targeted amplicon sequencing, shotgun metagenomic sequencing of 39 and 15 cheeses, respectively. L. monocytogenes growth differed significantly between cheeses (ANOVA; p < 0.001), with increases ranging from 0 to 5.4 log CFU (mean of 2.5 ± 1.2 log CFU) over the incubation period. Raw milk cheeses showed significantly lower L. monocytogenes growth than pasteurized milk cheeses (t-test; p = 0.008), possibly due to an increase in microbial richness. L. monocytogenes growth in cheeses was positively correlated with the relative abundance of Streptococcus thermophilus (Spearman correlation; p < 0.0001), and negatively correlated with the relative abundances of Brevibacterium aurantiacucm (Spearman correlation; p = 0.0002) and two Lactococcus spp. (Spearman correlation; p < 0.01). The inclusion of S. thermophilus as a starter culture is more common in industrialize SRC production, suggesting that industrial production of SRC may increase the risk of L. monocytogenes growth. L. monocytogenes growth was negatively correlated with the relative abundance of two metabolic pathways related to formaldehyde oxidation and β-D-glucuronosides degradation. No mechanism was identified for the antilisterial effects of these pathways, but it may involve the depletion of micronutrients. The presence of bacteriocin-encoding genes did not affect the growth of L. monocytogenes in the cheeses. These results further our understanding of the cheese microbiome’s affect on L. monocytogenes growth, hopefully leading to the development of SRC starter/ripening cultures that can prevent L. monocytogenes growth.

description: We investigate cyclic and singularity-free evolutions in a universe governed by Lagrange-multiplier modified gravity, either in scalar-field cosmology, as well as in $f(R)$ one. In the scalar case, cyclicity can be induced by a suitably reconstructed simple potential, and the matter content of the universe can be successfully incorporated. In the case of $f(R)$-gravity, cyclicity can be induced by a suitable reconstructed second function $f_2(R)$ of a very simple form, however the matter evolution cannot be analytically handled. Furthermore, we study the evolution of cosmological perturbations for the two scenarios. For the scalar case the system possesses no wavelike modes due to a dust-like sound speed, while for the $f(R)$ case there exist an oscillation mode of perturbations which indicates a dynamical degree of freedom. Both scenarios allow for stable parameter spaces of cosmological perturbations through the bouncing point.

Testing Methods of Testing Replication Success
Creators: name: Kim, Sheri
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: The Replication Crisis refers to a time of doubt on the trustworthiness of the published research findings. Replicability at its simplest form is taken to mean the consistency of a finding. The crisis in confidence in research findings assumes that consistency of a finding confirms an effect and an inconsistent finding disputes an effect. However, the performance of the methods used to test replicability have been largely ignored. Different tests of replicability give different outcomes for the same data, which shows that these tests do not measure the same thing. This thesis explored how sampling variability and study variables (such as sample size, effect size index, base-rates) impact expected rates of replication success and failure. Four approaches to testing replicability were explored using simulation in R: comparing p-values, comparing effect sizes, using heterogeneity tests and comparing Bayes Factors across original and replication studies. The relationship between sampling variability and various study characteristics on the expected outcomes of these tests was complex. Unlike the assumption that consistency in findings confirms an effect and inconsistency in findings disputes an effect, the simulation studies in this thesis demonstrated that under certain combinations of study characteristics, replication success was unlikely to occur and replication failure was likely to occur even though the effect was truly consistent. When a replication failure occurs, it is difficult to interpret whether this is due to true and meaningful inconsistency in effects, or due to other factors unrelated to the consistency of the effect. Replication cannot conclusively verify or disconfirm prior findings due to this difficulty in interpreting replication outcomes. It is suggested that the importance of replication in psychology is in its role in improving research practice, not in its ability to conclusively verify prior results.
The local politics of mining under decentralisation in Indonesia
Creators: name: Holthouse, Kym
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: Since the late 1990s, artisanal and small-scale mining operations have expanded greatly in Indonesia, heralding new income opportunities for the rural poor in many parts of the country. However, as this study shows, the impact of artisanal and small-scale mining on rural livelihoods has been mixed. In some cases, economically vulnerable populations have become even more vulnerable since the arrival of mining. This dissertation examines the political economy of artisanal and small to medium-scale manganese mining in Nusa Tenggara Timur, one of Indonesia's poorest provinces. It examines contests between individuals, local communities, mining companies, and the state over access to minerals and land, and seeks to explain why an apparently promising alternative livelihood opportunity has produced widespread disappointment, resentment, mistrust and conflict. The study highlights how national regulations and policies and local government incentives have worked against the interests of the poor. It argues that the rural poor are marginalised by the extractive process because the regulatory environment too easily allows local authorities to dismiss local claims to resources whenever they conflict with elite interests. Contrary to the promises of decentralisation, the lack of political power among the rural peasantry in NTT has deprived them of a voice in decision-making, leaving local elites the primary beneficiaries of the resource boom. Paradoxically, while democratic decentralisation triggered an expansion of mining activity that provided new mining livelihoods in NTT, and throughout Indonesia, on balance mining became another source of marginalisation and disempowerment for poor rural communities. Meanwhile, the incentives that localised control over mining created for policymakers often had a corrosive effect on local democratic institutions and the public's trust towards them.
A Convenient Massacre: Did Sharpeville Save Apartheid?
Creators: name: Edelstein, Ian
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation is focussed on the re-examination and critique of the veracity of the accepted narrative of a seminal event in the history of the struggle against apartheid. It utilises a two-tiered approach using non-traditional methods to challenge traditional South African historiography. In the first section theatre is used as a vehicle to re-evaluate the ideas of the Pan-Africanists by bringing the words of their leader Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe to the stage. The correspondence between the imprisoned Sobukwe and his friend, journalist Benjamin Pogrund, is dramatized in the style of Verbatim Theatre, creating an historical document in dramatic form. The second section of the dissertation examines the rapid ascension of Sobukwe's Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) and how his Pan Africanist vision, incorporating a United States of Africa, had begun to resonate in South Africa. After this background, rarely asked but important questions are posed: How would the history of South Africa (and Africa itself) been different had the Sharpeville Massacre not taken place? What if the demonstration had resolved itself peacefully? What would have transpired if ergo the PAC and the African National Congress (ANC) had not been banned? These and other questions are answered, and disparate outcomes from which to examine history are created, through the construction of a Virtual History for South Africa had events unfolded differently. Finally, international influences are re-assessed from within the paradigm of a South Africa in which this event, and its aftermath, had not transpired.

description: We report on the detection and follow-up high cadence monitoring observations of MAXI J1659-152, a bright Galactic X-ray binary transient with a likely black-hole accretor, by Swift over a 27 day period after its initial outburst detection. MAXI J1659-152 was discovered almost simultaneously by Swift and MAXI on 2010 Sept 25, and was monitored intensively from the early stages of the outburst through the rise to a brightness of ~0.5 Crab by the Swift XRT, UVOT, and BAT. We present temporal and spectral analysis of the Swift observations. The broadband light-curves show variability characteristic of black-hole candidate transients. We present the evolution of thermal and non-thermal components of the 0.5-150 keV combined X-ray spectra during the outburst. MAXI J1659-152 displays accretion state changes typically associated with black-hole binaries, transitioning from its initial detection in the Hard State, to the Steep Power-Law State, followed by a slow evolution towards the Thermal State, signified by an increasingly dominant thermal component associated with the accretion disk, although this state change did not complete before Swift observations ended. We observe an anti-correlation between the increasing temperature and decreasing radius of the inner edge of the accretion disk, suggesting that the inner edge of the accretion disk in-falls towards the black-hole as the disk temperature increases. We observed significant evolution in the absorption column during the initial rise of the outburst, with the absorption almost doubling, suggestive of the presence of an evolving wind from the accretion disk. We detect quasi- periodic oscillations that evolve with the outburst, as well as irregular shaped dips that recur with a period of 2.42\pm0.09 hours, strongly suggesting an orbital period that would make MAXI J1659-152 the shortest period black-hole binary yet known.

Closed Shell Atoms subjected to Short and Intense Laser Pulses
Creators: name: Naseem, Faiza
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis contains several theoretical investigations of different ionization phenomena resulting from exposure of closed-shell atoms and atomic species to short and intense laser pulses. 1. Wigner time delay in atomic photoionization of noble gas atoms. Theory is based on a perturbative treatment of the interaction of an atom with a weak ionizing electromagnetic field. Inter-electron interaction is treated non perturbatively by the random phase approximation with exchange (RPAE) [Phys. Rev. A 98, 013420 (2018)]. 2. Atomic time delay in free and encapsulated noble gas atoms atoms subjected to XUV ionizing and IR dressing fields (RABBITT). Strong laser-atom interaction is treated non-perturbatively by a numerical solution of the time dependent Schrodinger equation (TDSE). Many-electron correlations are omitted and the atom is considered in the single active electron (SAE) approximation [Phys. Rev. A 97, 063404 (2018), Phys. Rev. A 98, 043427 (2018)]. 3. High order harmonics generation in noble gases and transitional atoms near giant autoionization resonances. The tunnel ionization and laser driven propagation is described by the SAE TDSE in while recombination with the parent ion is affected by inter-shell many-electron correlation which is accounted for in the RPAE [Phys. Rev. A 101, 053415 (2020)] or spin-polarized RPAE [Phys. Rev. A 101, 053415 (2020)]. The main theoretical tools employed in this thesis are TDSE for treating laser atom interaction in SAE and RPAE for treating laser-matter interaction perturbatively while keeping the full account of inter-electron interaction. These techniques are used in separation as in 1 and 2 or collectively as in 3. The TDSE and RPAE which are common themes of this thesis are described in the Introduction. They are implemented within efficient computer codes deployed in multi-processor supercomputer environment. Our numerical results reveal important aspects of ultrafast electron dynamics in atomic ionization and will serve to guide the existing and future strong laser physics experiments.

description: We study the properties of simulated high-redshift galaxies using cosmological N-body/gasdynamical runs from the OverWhelmingly Large Simulations (OWLS) project. The runs contrast several feedback implementations of varying effectiveness: from no-feedback, to supernova-driven winds to powerful AGN-driven outflows. These different feedback models result in large variations in the abundance and structural properties of bright galaxies at z=2. We find that feedback affects the baryonic mass of a galaxy much more severely than its spin, which is on average roughly half that of its surrounding dark matter halo in our runs. Feedback induces strong correlations between angular momentum content and galaxy mass that leave their imprint on galaxy scaling relations and morphologies. Encouragingly, we find that galaxy disks are common in moderate-feedback runs, making up typically ~50% of all galaxies at the centers of haloes with virial mass exceeding 1e11 M_sun. The size, stellar masses, and circular speeds of simulated galaxies formed in such runs have properties that straddle those of large star-forming disks and of compact early-type galaxies at z=2. Once the detailed abundance and structural properties of these rare objects are well established it may be possible to use them to gauge the overall efficacy of feedback in the formation of high redshift galaxies.

description: We use the Gross-Pitaevskii equation to determine the spatial structure of the condensate density of interacting bosons whose energy dispersion epsilon_k has two degenerate minima at finite wave-vectors q. We show that in general the Fourier transform of the condensate density has finite amplitudes for all integer multiples of q. If the interaction is such that many Fourier components contribute, the Bose condensate is localized at the sites of a one-dimensional lattice with spacing 2pi/q; in this case Bose-Einstein condensation resembles the transition from a liquid to a crystalline solid. We use our results to investigate the spatial structure of the Bose condensate formed by magnons in thin films of ferromagnets with dipole-dipole interactions.

description: Waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED) is a subfield of quantum optics that studies arrays of atoms coupled to a waveguide. Confining the propagation of light to a one-dimensional (1D) channel enhances the atom-photon interaction strength which is crucial for many quantum information applications. It also allows for infinite-range atom-atom interactions mediated by photons which gives rise to a plethora of exotic effects such as the fermionisation of photons, interaction-induced localisation, bound photons and even quantum chaos. The first part of this thesis is about the numerical results in Ref. [1]. I focus on a specific kind of localisation in the two-photon subspace of waveguide QED which are self-induced topological edge states. The hallmarks of the quantum Hall effect can be found in our model, from Landau levels to a Hofstadter-like butterfly energy spectrum. The second part of this thesis focuses on Ref. [2]. I provide the first classification of eigenstates in the three-photon subspace of waveguide QED and show that the rich interplay of order, chaos and localisation found in two-photon systems extends naturally to three-photon systems. There also exist interaction-induced localised states unique to three-photon systems such as bound trimers, corner states and trimer edge states. Our results show that there are many exotic and unexplored effects within interacting waveguide QED systems. [1] Poshakinskiy, Alexander V., et al.

description: A search for double beta processes in 190Pt and 198Pt was realized with the help of ultra-low background HP Ge 468 cm^3 gamma spectrometer in the underground Gran Sasso National Laboratories of the INFN (Italy). After 1815 h of data taking with 42.5 g platinum sample, T_{1/2} limits on 2beta processes in 190Pt (εβ^+ and 2ε) have been established on the level of 10^{14}-10^{16} yr, 3 to 4 orders of magnitude higher than those known previously. In particular, a possible resonant double electron capture in 190Pt was restricted on the level of 2.9 \times 10^{16} yr at 90% C.L. In addition, T_{1/2} limit on 2 beta^- decay of 198Pt (2ν+0ν) to the 2^+_1 excited level of 198Hg has been set at the first time: T_{1/2}>3.5 \times 10^{18} yr. The radiopurity level of the used platinum sample is reported.

PalmSpace : leveraging the palm for touchless interaction on public touch screen devices
Creators: name: Nath, Pinku Deb
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The touchscreen is the primary solution to interact with public devices such as Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). However, the touch modality raises health concerns since users have to touch the screens, and therefore risk the spread of contagious diseases. I designed PalmSpace, an alternate input technique leveraging users’ hand palms to interact with public devices. With PalmSpace, UI elements are mapped onto the users’ palms and can be accessed by touching various locations directly on the palm. I conducted a series of user studies to evaluate several design options, such as interface layout, item size, preferred item location, and suitable feedback for items. Based on the results, I designed PalmSpace and compared its performance with mid-air input. I showed that PalmSpace is a potential solution to interact with public devices without using their touchscreen. I concluded with design guidelines for using the palm as an alternative input space for touchscreen devices.
Obtaining Potential Field Solution with Spherical Harmonics and Finite Differences

description: Potential magnetic field solutions can be obtained based on the synoptic magnetograms of the Sun. Traditionally, a spherical harmonics decomposition of the magnetogram is used to construct the current and divergence free magnetic field solution. This method works reasonably well when the order of spherical harmonics is limited to be small relative to the resolution of the magnetogram, although some artifacts, such as ringing, can arise around sharp features. When the number of spherical harmonics is increased, however, using the raw magnetogram data given on a grid that is uniform in the sine of the latitude coordinate can result in inaccurate and unreliable results, especially in the polar regions close to the Sun. We discuss here two approaches that can mitigate or completely avoid these problems: i) Remeshing the magnetogram onto a grid with uniform resolution in latitude, and limiting the highest order of the spherical harmonics to the anti-alias limit; ii) Using an iterative finite difference algorithm to solve for the potential field. The naive and the improved numerical solutions are compared for actual magnetograms, and the differences are found to be rather dramatic. We made our new Finite Difference Iterative Potential-field Solver (FDIPS) a publically available code, so that other researchers can also use it as an alternative to the spherical harmonics approach.

Re-(de)politicizing carbon : climate governance in urban Vancouver
Creators: name: Yang, Sherry
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Urban governments across the globe are reimagining and reasserting their roles and responsibilities in climate action by creating new policy and institutional spaces for tackling this wicked problem. The emerging role of the city in climate action has been a subject of policy and governance studies. The field benefits from in-depth inquiry on not only what climate measures are developed, but how they materialize. This study extends these questions to the case study of the Vancouver region. More recently, municipalities in the region are responding to the global call for climate mitigation by taking on new, ambitious reduction goals. Drawing on approaches of critical policy studies and discourse analysis, this study examines how climate and carbon are made governable in a post-political urban setting. The study considers the discursive elements of the policy process, the agency of policy practitioners, the spaces and networks they occupy and influence, as well as the logics and expert technologies they use to mobilize policy. This research highlights the importance of both formal and informal social norms in urban policy processes. This study finds that despite what appears to be their bold aspirations to drastically reduce carbon emissions, policy actors are constrained by path-dependent governing logics, territorial politics and power relations embedded in the dominant sociopolitical and economic regime. Climate actions are also driven by particular rationalities and storylines which sustain climate as a depoliticized and technocratic policy matter, thus producing a set of techno-managerial responses while precluding others.

description: A novel method based on image scanning densitometry is described here to determine aspirin using smartphone camera and spot tests. Salicylate ion forms violet colored complex with Fe(III), which is the basis of most common spectrophotometric methods for the determination of aspirin. In this work, aspirin was assayed using violet colored spot tests and 96-microwell plate. Images were captured by a smartphone and quantification was done using a novel grayscale technique in Adobe Photoshop. Calibration was plotted between integrated density and concentration of aspirin. Analytical parameters and concentration of the reagents were optimized to get the best results. Results of three commercial aspirin samples were also assayed and compared with that of drug label. The developed method provided good precision (relative standard deviation <0.68%) and accuracy with relative errors less than 5.2%. Comparison of the present technique with RGB and HSL models showed excellent correlation for grayscale (R2 >0.996), while the RGB model gave the least precise results (R2 =0.792). The proposed method is low-cost, portable, robust and more accurate for the determination of aspirin using smartphone with no considerable effects of ambient light on the results.
