High-Level Software Frameworks To Surmount The Challenge Of 100X Scaling For Biomolecular Simulation Science

Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: molecular science simulations, adaptive,

description: Next-generation exascale systems will fundamentally expand the reach of biomolecular simulations and the resulting scientific insight, enabling the simulation of larger biological systems (weak scaling), longer timescales (strong scaling), more complex molecular interactions, and robust uncertainty quantification (more accurate sampling). Since currently envisioned exascale hardware architectures are essentially larger versions of systems available today, it will be challenging to solve biological problems that require longer timescales, involve more complex interactions and robust uncertainty quantification without significant algorithmic improvements. We believe that high-level simulation algorithms incorporating high-level parallelism and leveraging the statistical nature of molecular processes can provide a means to address these challenges of scaling. Proof-of-concept simulation algorithms have yielded advanced sampling and adaptive control algorithms for efficient simulation of long timescales and complex behaviors. Novel dataflow and workflow systems are needed to implement these advanced algorithms in a way that is usable by the community in exascale systems. A middleware ecosystem that provides these in a robust, scalable, reusable, and extensible framework is a key requirement for exascale infrastructure investment to result in revolutionary biological insight.

description: There is broad agreement among researchers to view mind wandering as an obstacle to learning because it draws attention away from learning tasks. Accordingly, empirical findings revealed negative correlations between the frequency of mind wandering during learning and various kinds of learning outcomes (e.g., text retention). However, a few studies have indicated positive effects of mind wandering on creativity in real-world learning environments. The present article reviews these studies and highlights potential benefits of mind wandering for learning mediated through creative processes. Furthermore, we propose various ways to promote useful mind wandering and, at the same time, minimize its negative impact on learning.

description: 'Low-beta' radio-frequency accelerating structures are used in the sections of a linear accelerator where the velocity of the particle beam increases with energy. The requirement for space periodicity to match the increasing particle velocity led to the development of a large variety of structures, both normal and superconducting, which are described in this lecture.

Three distinct types of quantum phase transitions in a (2+1)-dimensional array of dissipative Josephson junctions

description: We have performed large-scale Monte Carlo simulations on a model describing a (2+1)-dimensional array of dissipative Josephson junctions. We find three distinct stable quantum phases of the system. The most ordered state features long-range spatial ordering in the phase $θ$ of the superconducting order parameter, but temporal ordering only in spatial gradients $Δθ$, not in $θ$. Significantly, the most ordered state therefore does not have 3D XY ordering. Rather, it features 2D spin waves coexisting with temporally disordered phases $θ$. There is also an intermediate phase featuring quasi-long-range spatial order in $θ$ coexisting with a gas of instantons in $Δθ$. We briefly discuss possible experimental signatures of such a state, which may be viewed as a local metal and a global superconductor. The most disordered state has phase disorder in all spatio-temporal directions, and may be characterized as a gas of proliferated vortices coexisting with a gas of $Δθ$-instantons. The phase transitions between these phases are discussed. The transition from the most ordered state to the intermediate state is driven by proliferation of instantons in $Δθ$. The transition from the intermediate state to the most disordered state is driven by the proliferation of spatial point vortices in the background of a proliferated $Δθ$-instanton gas, and constitutes a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. The model also features a direct phase transition from the most ordered state to the most disordered state, and this transition is neither in the 2D XY nor in the 3D XY universality class. It comes about via a simultaneous proliferation of point vortices in two spatial dimensions and $Δθ$-instantons, with a complicated interplay between them.

description: Interfacial ferroelectricity emerges in heterostructures consisting of nonpolar van der Waals (vdW) layers, greatly expanding the scope of two dimensional ferroelectrics. In particular, the unconventional moire ferroelectricity observed in bilayer graphene/boron nitride (BN) heterostructures, exhibits promising functionalities with topological current, superconductivity and synaptic responses. However, the debate about its mechanism - correlation driven charge transfer between two graphene layers - limits device reproducibility and hence large-scale production. Here by designing a single-layer graphene encapsulated by lattice-mismatched WSe2, we identify the ferroelectricity as stemming from - instead of graphene moire bands - the particular BN, where interfacial sliding ferroelectricity must play a role. With similar structures, multilayer twisted MoS2 is found to reproduce the ferroelectricity. The key is a conductive moire ferroelectric, where the screened gate and the pinned domain wall together result in unchanged electronic states, i.e. anomalous screening. The intimate connection to interfacial sliding ferroelectricity thus provides advantages of diverse choices of constituent materials and robust polarization switching while preserving the unique anomalous screening, paving the way to reproducible and reliable memory-based devices in artificial intelligence.

Knowledge base creation and managment for automation of the goal-oriented software measurement using multi-agent technology

Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 140-146
description: Effective implementation of a software measurement system to map collected data to business goals in a software organization is a prime problem. Goal Question Metrics (GQM) measurement provides the guidelines to solve this problem. Nevertheless, the GQM approach is complex, knowledge-intensive, iterative, time consuming and therefore expensive. In this thesis, the procedure of automating a specific GQM process has been devised, and the adopted methodologies and technologies also have been introduced. An agent-based system called Intelligent Software Measurement System (ISMS) has been proposed to automatically produce a software measurement implementation plan based on users' initial business or measurement goal(s). As the main part of this research, particularly, a step-by-step methodology for building the knowledge base that is composed of a series of relational tables, weights and factual rules for the ISMS has been presented. In this knowledge base, the various opinions of software measurement experts have been combined and integrated following a specific mathematical theory, Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. This research could provide a methodology to build a knowledge base for the automation of the GQM process, and make contributions to the design and implementation of intelligent goal-oriented software measurement systems.

description: We establish a simple variance inequality for U-statistics whose underlying sequence of random variables is an ergodic Markov Chain. The constants in this inequality are explicit and depend on computable bounds on the mixing rate of the Markov Chain.

INS/GPS integration using neural networks for land vehicular navigation applications
Creators: name: Chiang, Kai-Wei
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 232-244
description: Most of the positioning technologies for modern land vehicular navigation systems have been available for 25 years. Virtually all of the systems augment two or more of these technologies. Typical candidates for an integrated navigation system are the Global Position System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). The Kalman filter has been widely adopted as an optimal estimation tool for the INS/GPS integration, however, several limitations of such multi-sensor integration methodology have been reported; such as the impact of INS short term errors, model dependency, prior knowledge dependency, sensor dependency, and linearization dependency. To reduce the impact of short term INS sensor errors, the bandwidth of true motion dynamics were identified by spectrum analysis and the first generation denoising algorithm that used the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) was applied to identify the limitations of the existing denoising algorithm. Consequently, this research proposed the cascade denoising algorithm to overcome the limitations of existing denoising algorithms. It was then evaluated using several INS/GPS integrated land vehicular systems and the results demonstrated superior performance to existing denoising algorithms in both the positioning and spectrum domains. In addition, the impact of proposed algorithms on different integrated systems was investigated extensively. Furthermore, an alternative INS/GPS integration methodology, the conceptual intelligent navigator incorporating artificial intelligence techniques, was proposed to reduce the remaining limitations of traditional navigators that use the Kalman filter approach. The proposed conceptual intelligent navigator consisted of several different INS/GPS integration architectures that were developed using artificial neural networks to acquire the navigation knowledge. In addition, the "brain", a navigation information database, and a window based weight updating scheme were implemented to store and accumulate navigation knowledge. The conceptual intelligent navigator was evaluated using several INS/GPS integrated land vehicular systems and the results demonstrated superior performance to traditional navigator in the position domain. Finally, a low cost INS/GPS integrated system was considered to verify the advantages gained by incorporating the conceptual intelligent navigator as an alternative method toward developing next generation land vehicular navigation systems.

description: The results from the first three years observation in Telescope Array are reviewed. The energy spectrum, mass composition, and anisotropy in arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays are discussed. The energy spectrum of cosmic rays with energies above $10^{18}$ eV is determined using the data of the fluorescence detectors, surface detectors, and with a hybrid shower reconstruction technique using the both data. The ankle structure is clearly found at $10^{18.7}$ eV. The second bending point is also identified, at which the flux of cosmic rays begins to decrease and the spectral index changes from $E^{-2.68}$ to $E^{-4.2}$. The study of shower development using the fluorescence detector data shows that proton is dominant in cosmic rays above $10^{18.2}$ eV. No apparent anisotropies in the arrival direction of cosmic rays are found. I also present further experimental extensions which are being developed at the Telescope Array site.

description: We present a laboratory experiment that systematically investigates the determinants of acquisition behavior with a negative externality on a rights holder. We consider social and moral determinants of unlawful behavior as well as standard penalty and punishment risk trade-offs. We find that, while punishment risk and penalty size reduce unlawful behavior, they are not the only determinants that do. Moral determinants matter: there being a victim, and the victim deserving to be the rights holder, makes a difference.  Social norms also matter: controlling for other variables, one point more of social appropriateness increase unlawful behavior by around 30-40%.

description: This paper provides a derivation, description and econometric explanation of how to estimate the Antitrust Logit Model used to simulate price changes in mergers. It tests the predictions of the ALM against those from the Rotterdam model, which does not impose the Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives assumption. Bootstrap confidence intervals are used to determine the significance of the predicted price changes. The ALM is compared to the Herfindahl-Hirschman index to see if there is any advantage to using the ALM to determine which mergers should be challenged. The ALM does not provide any gain in information when compared to the structural approach of the HHI. Comparing the ALM to the Rotterdam model I find that the Rotterdam model is a better predictor of price changes.

description: We introduce a new and highly tractable structural model for spot and derivative prices in electricity markets. Using a stochastic model of the bid stack, we translate the demand for power and the prices of generating fuels into electricity spot prices. The stack structure allows for a range of generator efficiencies per fuel type and for the possibility of future changes in the merit order of the fuels. The derived spot price process captures important stylized facts of historical electricity prices, including both spikes and the complex dependence upon its underlying supply and demand drivers. Furthermore, under mild and commonly used assumptions on the distributions of the input factors, we obtain closed-form formulae for electricity forward contracts and for spark and dark spread options. As merit order dynamics and fuel forward prices are embedded into the model, we capture a much richer and more realistic dependence structure than can be achieved by classical reduced-form models. We illustrate these advantages by comparing with Margrabe's formula and a simple cointegration model, and highlight important implications for the valuation of power plants.

Heterogeneous patellofemoral articular cartilage mechanical and biological response to compression and anterior cruciate ligament transection
Creators: name: Clark, Andrea Louise
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 174-186
description: Damage to the articular cartilages of the patellofemoral joint is frequently observed in humans and is one sign associated with osteoarthritis. Loading of articular cartilage influences the biological responses and thus the health of this tissue in both an amplitude and frequency sensitive manner. Furthermore, chondrocyte and nuclear deformation that occurs with cartilage deformation has been proposed as a transduction mechanism which enables the cells to detect and biologically respond to changes in their local environment. The majority of these data have been derived from experiments using expiants of articular cartilage removed from healthy joints. Therefore the chondrocyte response in-situ and in-vivo and the effects of anterior cruciate ligament transection on this response still require investigation. In this research we firstly quantified the contact areas and pressures in the feline patellofemoral joint in-situ. Secondly, we developed methods to apply a static load to articular cartilage still fully intact and attached to its native bone and systematically evaluated cartilage and chondrocyte deformation throughout tissue depth. Thirdly, we used this technique to apply a physiological magnitude of load to healthy, short- and long-term anterior cruciate ligament transected feline patellofemoral articular cartilage. Finally, we developed methods to apply a repeatable, measurable and muscle induced cyclical load to an intact patellofemoral joint and measure the biological responses of the articular cartilages at the mRNA level. We found that significant chondrocyte deformation did occur when a physiological magnitude of compression was applied to the fully intact articular cartilages of the patellofemoral joint. This observation was consistent in healthy, short- and long-term anterior cruciate ligament deficient feline knees. This result supports the notion that significant chondrocyte deformation occurs in cartilage during in-vivo loading and could therefore be one way in which chondrocytes can detect and respond to changes in their environment. Secondly, we found that the articular cartilages of the patellofemoral joint were heterogeneous mechanically, histologically, biologically and in their response to anterior cruciate ligament deficiency and an applied load. This heterogeneity was evident when comparing different surfaces of the joint as well as different areas and/or depths of the same surface.
The architecture of human sustainability: interpreting the artness of complexity

Publisher: name: Environmental Design
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 178-181
description: This MDP investigates the associations between architecture's cultural significance and its technologically driven mandate of sustainable practice. It seeks to understand continuing perceptions of imbalance and disparity between the art and science of modern architecture and considers how this perception hinders the assessment of current sustainable practices across all domains. It endeavors to resolve this disparity by showing how the interpretation of cultural indicators can enhance the appreciation and assessment of sustainable architecture. An analytical framework is developed to facilitate the integration of architecture's cultural significance with other methods for assessing sustainability. The foundation of the framework establishes an inclusive, ethical context of human sustainability to evaluate architecture's mandate of technological and cultural sustainability. It builds on the current 'triple bottom line' paradigm of environmental, economic and social factors found in advanced sustainability frameworks across all domains. The comprehensive human sustainability framework is guided by awareness of thinking and behavior as a basis for the assessment of sustainable practice. It borrows strategies from management science, educational psychology, complexity theory and contemporary art to identify and assess the complex triple bottom line associations that are critical to sustainable practice and assessment across all domains. These strategies are used in the critical evaluation of architectural theories to show how awareness of thinking can enhance the integrated assessment of architecture as a technologically, culturally and ethically inclusive phenomenon.

description: Mitochondrial hypervariable region I genetic data from ancient populations at two sites from Asia, Linzi in Shandong (northern China) and Egyin Gol in Mongolia, were reanalyzed to detect population affinities. Data from a total of 51 modern populations were used to generate distance measures (Fst's) to the two ancient populations. The tests first analyzed relationships at the regional level, and then compiled the top regional matches for an overall comparison to the two probe populations. The reanalysis showed that the Egyin Gol and Linzi populations have clear distinctions in genetic affinity. The Egyin Gol population as a whole appears to bear close affinities with modern populations of northern East Asia. The Linzi population does seem to have some genetic affinities with the West as suggested by the original analysis, though the original attribution of "European-like" seems to be misleading. This study suggests that the Linzi individuals are potentially related to early Iranians, who are thought to have been widespread in parts of Central Eurasia and the steppe regions in the first millennium BC, though some significant admixture between a number of populations of varying origin cannot be ruled out. The study also examines the effect of sequence length on this type of genetic data analysis and provides analysis and explanation for the results of previous studies on the Linzi sample as compared to this one.

description: We calculate the spin relaxation time of mobile electrons due to spin precession between random impurity scattering (D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism) in electrically gated bilayer graphene analytically and numerically. Due to the trigonal warping of the bandstructure, the spin relaxation time exhibits an interesting non-monotonic behavior as a function of both the Fermi energy and the interlayer bias potential. Our results are in good agreement with recent four-probe measurements of the spin relaxation time in bilayer graphene and indicate the possibility of an electrically-switched spin device.

The physical interaction of calcineurin with N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunits in rat hippocampus
Creators: name: Cochrane, Kimberley
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 75-92
description: During long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) in the CAl region of the hippocampus, approximately 100 different proteins form a complex to modulate the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA) function. The physiological significance of these protein-protein interactions in synapses from the central nervous system is unclear. One of the proteins found in the NMDA receptor complex is calcineurin, which regulates NMDA receptor channel activity. To determine the cellular events underlying calcineurin regulation of NMDA receptors, I examined the physical interaction between calcineurin and the NMDA receptor in rat hippocampus. The results show that calcineurin was found in a complex that contained NMDA receptor subunits: NRl, NR2A, and NR2B and with postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95), suggesting that calcineurin physically interacts with the NMDA receptor subunits.

description: We study the structure of the energy-momentum tensor of radial excitations of Q-balls in scalar field theories with U(1) symmetry. The obtained numerical results for the $1\le N \le 23$ excitations allow us to study in detail patterns how the solutions behave with N. We show that although the fields and energy-momentum tensor densities exhibit a remarkable degree of complexity, the properties of the solutions scale with N with great regularity. This is to best of our knowledge the first study of the D-term d1 for excited states, and we demonstrate that it is negative --- in agreement with results from literature on the d1 of ground state particles.

An Empirical Investigation of UIP and PPP in Inflation Targeting Countries
Creators: name: Anderl, Christina Athena
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis consists of three empirical chapters, which study the role of central bank credibility in influencing the exchange rate parities in inflation targeting countries. Central bank credibility is considered to be of upmost importance to the success of the inflation targeting regime. The increasing popularity of inflation targeting as a monetary policy framework requires an evaluation of its wider implications on the economy compared to alternative monetary regimes. This thesis provides insight into the relation between central bank credibility and the exchange rate parities in a comparative study of inflation targeting countries and countries that operate alternative monetary regimes. The first empirical chapter investigates the extent to which deviations from the Taylor rule influence the exchange rate parities. The use of a nonlinear framework provides evidence for the strong persistence of deviations from the parities when Taylor rule deviations are large. The findings of the comparative study show that central bank credibility is more important in inflation targeting countries than in nontargeting countries. The second empirical chapter considers the role of interest rate expectations as an often overlooked measure of central bank credibility when investigating the UIP relation. Using a nonlinear framework, the findings are able to confirm the validity of UIP when the public expects the central bank to adopt a tight monetary stance with closer adherence to the inflation target. The final empirical chapter analyses the role of macroeconomic shocks including inflation expectations shocks in a nonlinear model of the real exchange rate. It is shown that the adjustment to PPP is partially influenced by central bank credibility shocks, in particular those arising from survey expectations.

description: Mediation analysis is commonly used in epidemiological research, but guidance is lacking on how multivariable missing data should be dealt with in these analyses. Multiple imputation (MI) is a widely used approach, but questions remain regarding impact of missingness mechanism, how to ensure imputation model compatibility and approaches to variance estimation. To address these gaps, we conducted a simulation study based on the Victorian Adolescent Health Cohort Study. We considered six missingness mechanisms, involving varying assumptions regarding the influence of outcome and/or mediator on missingness in key variables. We compared the performance of complete-case analysis, seven MI approaches, differing in how the imputation model was tailored, and a "substantive model compatible" MI approach. We evaluated both the MI-Boot (MI, then bootstrap) and Boot-MI (bootstrap, then MI) approaches to variance estimation. Results showed that when the mediator and/or outcome influenced their own missingness, there was large bias in effect estimates, while for other mechanisms appropriate MI approaches yielded approximately unbiased estimates. Beyond incorporating all analysis variables in the imputation model, how MI was tailored for compatibility with mediation analysis did not greatly impact point estimation bias. BootMI returned variance estimates with smaller bias than MIBoot, especially in the presence of incompatibility.
Improved algorithms for approximate quantum fourier transforms and sparse hamiltonian simulations

description: Bibliography: p. 104-107
description: We investigate and improve algorithms for computing the approximate quantum Fourier transform (QFT ) and simulating a sparse Hamiltonian. We present an improved near-linear time algorithm for the approximate QFT modulo 2™. We give a circuit for the arbitrary modulus version that matches the best currently-known bound. We then relate the difficulty of the arbitrary modulus QFT to classical integer multiplication and division. We also investigate the problem of simulating an n-qubit sparse Hamiltonian. As input we receive the system's start state, a black box which, via queries, provides the non-zero entries of each row of the Hamiltonian, and a time t. We present an improved polynomial-time quantum algorithm for computing an approximation of the state of the system at time t. Prior to this, we provide an introduction to quantum computing, and survey some quantum algorithms that are used in our improved algorithms.

description: The electronic structure of graphene on Cu(111) and Cu(100) single crystals is investigated using low energy electron microscopy, low energy electron diffraction and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. On both substrates the graphene is rotationally disordered and interactions between the graphene and substrate lead to a shift in the Dirac crossing of $\sim$ -0.3 eV and the opening of a $\sim$ 250 meV gap. Exposure of the samples to air resulted in intercalation of oxygen under the graphene on Cu(100), which formed a ($\sqrt{2} \times 2\sqrt{2}$)R45$^{\rm o}$ superstructure. The effect of this intercalation on the graphene $π$ bands is to increase the offset of the Dirac crossing ($\sim$ -0.6 eV) and enlarge the gap ($\sim$ 350 meV). No such effect is observed for the graphene on Cu(111) sample, with the surface state at $Γ$ not showing the gap associated with a surface superstructure. The graphene film is found to protect the surface state from air exposure, with no change in the effective mass observed.

Novel flame photometric detection methods using counter-current flames and packed-column supercritical fluid chromatography
Creators: name: Cooke, Bradley Wallace
Publisher: name: University of Calgary

description: Bibliography: p. 98-101
description: A novel analytical device, the counter-current flame photometric detector (ccFPD), has been developed for gas chromatography, based upon emission from a counter-current air flame, which burns in an opposing stream of hydrogen and column effluent. This device demonstrated excellent stability over a wide range of gas flows. Sensitivity toward phosphorus and sulfur was determined and a linear sulfur emitter was exploited by premixing air with hydrogen/effluent flow. This device conventional FPD was developed and the background emission characteristics of supercritical CO2 and supercritical argon were evaluated and compared. While supercritical CO2 displayed intense emission, supercritical argon was transparent, yielding the same spectrum as an FPD flame without effluent. This translated to a 10 fold increase in sensitivity for sulfur when supercritical argon is used rather than supercritical CO2.

Understanding schizophrenia and relapse from persons who experience it: an oral history
Creators: name: Cooke, Danielle
Publisher: name: Nursing
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 83-89
description: The biomedical model characterizes schizophrenia as a psychotic disorder, with periods of remission and relapse and is the dominant paradigm to frame the experience of schizophrenia. Patients have been afforded few opportunities to include their perspectives and understandings into this dominant framework. This study addresses this and asks the question: How do people diagnosed with schizophrenia understand their experience with schizophrenia and relapse? Foucauldian notions of discourse, power and resistance informed the analysis and interpretation of the in-depth oral history interviews. The findings of this study emphasis the dominance of the biomedical discourse, illustrate how all participants are caught up in the discourse, explore the socialization process that the narrators went through in taking up the discourse and examine the instances of resistance to the discourse: a sense of 'is there anything else?’ These aspects make up an understanding of the experience of schizophrenia and relapse from the individual's perspective.
