description: With the rapid development of cloud computing, the privacy security incidents occur frequently, especially data security issues. Cloud users would like to upload their sensitive information to cloud service providers in encrypted form rather than the raw data, and to prevent the misuse of data. The main challenge is to securely process or analyze these encrypted data without disclosing any useful information, and to achieve the rights management efficiently. In this paper, we propose the encrypted data processing protocols for cloud computing by utilizing additively homomorphic encryption and proxy cryptography. For the traditional homomorphic encryption schemes with many limitations, which are not suitable for cloud computing applications. We simulate a cloud computing scenario with flexible access control and extend the original homomorphic cryptosystem to suit our scenario by supporting various arithmetical calculations. We also prove the correctness and security of our protocols, and analyze the advantages and performance by comparing with some latest works.
Critical velocity and event horizon in pair-correlated systems with "relativistic" fermionic quasiparticles

description: The condition for the appearance of event horizon is considered in such pair-correlated systems (superfluids and superconductors) where the fermionic quasiparticles obey the "relativistic" equations. In these systems, the Landau critical velocity of superflow corresponds to the speed of light. In conventional systems, such as s-wave superconductors, the superflow remains stable even above the Landau treshold. We showed that in the "relativistic" systems however the quantum vacuum becomes unstable and the superflow collapses after the "speed of light" is reached, so that horizon cannot appear. Thus an equilibrium dissipationless superfluid flow state and the horizon are incompatible due to quantum effects. This negative result is consistent with the quantum Hawking radiation from the horizon, which would lead to the dissipation of the flow.

description: This dissertation investigates the phenomenon of the digitally native production of foreign and international news in Anglo-American media. The focus is on the news startups I am calling “virtual foreign bureaus” (VFBs), independent, professional and niche news outlets that carry out much of the reporting remotely. These news startups have increased in numbers and importance with the shutdowns of foreign bureaus in traditional news organizations. Using newsroom visits, interviews, and content analysis, I compare and contrast journalistic routines and norms of VFBs with those of traditional foreign correspondence. As organizations, VFBs are more networked and less hierarchal than traditional foreign bureaus. I find a different use of sources, with open-source Web databases, crowdsourced material, and social network sources taking precedence over traditional “human” sources, because the former are more accessible to VFBs and also seen as more verifiable than the latter. Despite these differences, I note an increasing convergence of the norms of VFBs and traditional foreign correspondence, working toward the creation of a hybrid professional identity. As organizations, VFBs are entrepreneurial, seeking to combine multiple funding streams to achieve financial independence and sustainability. They rely heavily on foundation grants and partnerships, but such relationships rarely constitute a sustainable business model. I argue that any meaningful solution to the financial woes of foreign reporting should include policy interventions and an infusion of public funds.

description: The UBC Botanical Garden (UBCBG) plays an integral role in maintaining biodiversity across campus, acting as a hub of ecological interactions for thousands of plant, bird and insect species. To ensure continued success in this unique ecosystem, it is necessary to accurately map the location of each plant. Through the use of field measurements and GIS, this project aims to create a fully delineated representation of the UBCBG that can act as the basemap for long-term database project of plant species inventory. The goals of this project are to: 1. Map the features within the UBCBG in order to: a. Accurately delineate garden boundaries. b. Track/update plant inventories at the garden bed level. 2. Create point-lines that represent the pathways and other features of interest throughout the Gardens using highly accurate GPS equipment.

Virtual Relationship Management in Social Media

subject: Consumer behavior

description: The desire for social connectedness affects the way consumers live and make decisions.  While social media has expanded the size and reach of social networks, people paradoxically feel less connected with the friends and acquaintances they communicate with online.  This occurs because compared to face-to-face communication, digital communication is relatively impoverished and lacks the same level of richness, immediacy, and feeling of presence.  Although social media platforms have sought technological solutions to enrich interpersonal communication, I propose and find that without having to transmit more and richer content, virtual relationships can be managed and strengthened through different presentation format (i.e., ephemeral communication vs. permanent communication) and channels of communication (i.e., public messaging vs. private messaging).  First, under settings that are disruptive to communication, ephemerality, which is the quality of transience and disappearance causes consumers become more immersed and in the (“present”) moment, which produces interrelated consequences of being present that are beneficial to virtual relationship management.  Second, when their behaviors are publically observable, consumers strategically signal information about their relationship in order to strengthen their tie with close others.  Although abundant research has focused on consumers’ individual behaviors on social media, an understanding of the antecedents and consequences of interpersonal behaviors is lacking.  To fill this gap, my dissertation introduces and investigates the implications of virtual relationship management in social media.

We also show that the number of probability measures describing the statistical asymptotic behaviour of random orbits is bounded by the number of SRB measures if the noise level is small enough. As an application of these results we prove the stochastic stability of certain classes of non-uniformly expanding maps introduced in \cite{V} and \cite{ABV}.

description: In urban environments, supply resources have to be constantly matched to the "right" locations (where customer demand is present) so as to improve quality of life. For instance, ambulances have to be matched to base stations regularly so as to reduce response time for emergency incidents in EMS (Emergency Management Systems); vehicles (cars, bikes, scooters etc.) have to be matched to docking stations so as to reduce lost demand in shared mobility systems. Such problem domains are challenging owing to the demand uncertainty, combinatorial action spaces (due to allocation) and constraints on allocation of resources (e.g., total resources, minimum and maximum number of resources at locations and regions). Existing systems typically employ myopic and greedy optimization approaches to optimize allocation of supply resources to locations. Such approaches typically are unable to handle surges or variances in demand patterns well. Recent research has demonstrated the ability of Deep RL methods in adapting well to highly uncertain environments. However, existing Deep RL methods are unable to handle combinatorial action spaces and constraints on allocation of resources. To that end, we have developed three approaches on top of the well known actor critic approach, DDPG (Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient) that are able to handle constraints on resource allocation. More importantly, we demonstrate that they are able to outperform leading approaches on simulators validated on semi-real and real data sets.
Virtual Motion: Dance and Mobility in Early Modern English Literature

Dance in literature

Literature, Modern

description: "Virtual Motion” asks how early modern literature may be apprehended as a choreographic medium. It explores the relationship between literature and dance across plays, poems, ballads, and political and religious treatises, in order to show that dance manifests to different ends in each. It treats dance as aesthetic patterns of movement that span a range of virtual and actual spaces, from the imagination of readers to specific material and textual phenomena, which include the human body most consequentially, but also scripts and libretti, moving scenery, engravings, and manuscript miscellanies. It argues that as dance circulates between such media, it helps to emblematize broad forms of social upheaval characterized by motional effects, for example the migration of people and the spread of religious beliefs. Its four chapters study four such social upheavals. The first chapter studies theological controversies that arose during the Reformation, and argues that the graceful dancing body became implicated in theories concerning the circulation of spiritual grace between divine and mortal bodies. In points to the ambiguous place of the body in the writings of John Calvin and Baldassare Castiglione, and argues that William Shakespeare drew on dance theory in order to grant women a specifically choreographic form of devotional authority. The second chapter demonstrates that the classical interests of prominent humanist scholars, especially Julius Caesar Scaliger, included reviving the dances of antiquity. It traces the influence of such scholarship on two productions that sought to revive satyr dances as a form of embodied satire: Ben Jonson’s masque Oberon, and an anonymous Jesuit play staged at the English College in Rome, Captiva Religio. The third chapter argues that literature used New World “Indian” dance as a means of theorizing the tensions of colonial ventures both past and present, and traces Indian dance across several media: a single engraving altered to produce new kinetic effects as it was reused by multiple travelogues, the scenery and bodies in William Davenant’s “history ballet” about the Spanish colonization of Peru, and the ballads that Aphra Behn drew upon to stage the collision of Scottish and Indian dance in Virginia. The fourth chapter examines how English country dance, as both a physical practice and a political metaphor, circulated between actual households and those depicted in plays, for example through manuscript miscellanies like that maintained at Monkland manor in Herefordshire. It studies country dances that occurred in performances devised by Thomas Heywood, Ben Jonson, Henry Purcell, and Thomas Betterton, in order to argue that this genre played an underappreciated role in cultivating political identities across some of England’s most turbulent decades.

 SPECIES SCORED: † Rhizosthenurus flanneryi (type and only described species).
GEOLOGICAL PROVENANCE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Encore Site, Riversleigh Faunal Zone D, Riversleigh World Heritage Area, Queensland, Australia.
AGE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Riversleigh Faunal Zone D is estimated to be early late Miocene based on biostratigraphy (see above). In the absence of radiometric dates, however, we have assumed the entire span of the late Miocene (Tortonian to Messinian; Cohen et al., 2013 [updated]) for this terminal.
ASSIGNED AGE RANGE: 11.630 –5.333 Mya.
 REMARKS: Kear et al. (2001a) described macropodiform postcranial remains from the Encore Site of Riversleigh Faunal Zone D, which they interpreted as representing an unidentified species of the “bulungamayine” genus † Wanburoo. In a subsequent paper, Kear (2002) reallocated this material to a new species, † Rhizosthenurus flanneryi. The sthenurine affinities of † R. flanneryi were supported by Kear et al.’s (2001a) and Kear’s (2002) phylogenetic analyses of postcranial characters, and by subsequent analyses of combined craniodental and postcranial evidence (Kear et al., 2007; Bates et al., 2014; Black et al., 2014c; Travouillon et al., 2014b, 2015a; Cooke et al., 2015). A well-preserved skull is associated with the holotype postcranial skeleton of † R. flanneryi (QM F31456), and additional isolated teeth from the Encore site have also been referred to this taxon in an unpublished thesis (Kirkham, 2004). We examined these craniodental specimens of † R. flanneryi (which have yet to be formally described) to score character data for this study.

description: This thesis analyzes the viscosity characterizations of the explosion time distribution for diffusions and of the arbitrage function in an equity market model with uncertainty. In the first part, we show that the tail distribution U of the explosion time for a multidimensional diffusion -- and more generally, a suitable function 𝒰 of the Feynman-Kac type involving the explosion time -- is a viscosity solution of an associated parabolic partial differential equation (PDE), provided that the dispersion and drift coefficients of the diffusion are continuous. This generalizes a result of Karatzas and Ruf (2015), who characterize U as a classical solution of a Cauchy problem for the PDE in the one-dimensional case, under the stronger condition of local Hölder continuity on the coefficients. We also extend their result to 𝒰 in the one-dimensional case by establishing the joint continuity of 𝒰. Furthermore, we show that 𝒰 is dominated by any nonnegative classical supersolution of this Cauchy problem. Finally, we consider another notion of weak solvability, that of the distributional (sub/super)solution, and show that 𝒰 is no greater than any nonnegative distributional supersolution of the relevant PDE. In the second part, a more elaborate mathematical finance setting is taken. We show that, in an equity market model with Knightian uncertainty regarding the relative risk and covariance structure of its assets, the arbitrage function -- defined as the reciprocal of the highest return on investment that can be achieved relative to the market using nonanticipative strategies, and under any admissible market model configuration -- is a viscosity solution of an associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation under appropriate boundedness, continuity and Markovian assumptions on the uncertainty structure. This result generalizes that of Fernholz and Karatzas (2011), who characterized this arbitrage function as a classical solution of a Cauchy problem for this HJB equation under much stronger conditions than those needed here. Our approach and results also extend to the Markovian Market Weight model introduced in Fernholz and Karatzas (2010b).

description: Extending the analysis in our previous paper, we construct the entanglement thermodynamics for a massless scalar field on the Schwarzschild spacetime. Contrary to the flat case, the entanglement energy $E_{ent}$ turns out to be proportional to area radius of the boundary if it is near the horizon. This peculiar behavior of $E_{ent}$ can be understood by the red-shift effect caused by the curved background. Combined with the behavior of the entanglement entropy, this result yields, quite surprisingly, the entanglement thermodynamics of the same structure as the black hole thermodynamics. On the basis of these results, we discuss the relevance of the concept of entanglement as the microscopic origin of the black hole thermodynamics.

description: Charge density functional plus $U$ calculations are carried out to examine the validity of molecular $J_\text{eff}$=1/2 and 3/2 state in lacunar spinel GaM$_4$X$_8$ (M = Nb, Mo, Ta, and W). With LDA (spin-unpolarized local density approximation)$+U$, which has recently been suggested as the more desirable choice than LSDA (local spin density approximation)$+U$, we examine the band structure in comparison with the previous prediction based on the spin-polarized version of functional and with the prototypical $J_\text{eff}$=1/2 material Sr$_2$IrO$_4$. It is found that the previously suggested $J_\text{eff}$=1/2 and 3/2 band characters remain valid still in LDA$+U$ calculations while the use of charge-only density causes some minor differences. Our result provides the further support for the novel molecular $J_\text{eff}$ state in this series of materials, which can hopefully motivate the future exploration toward its verification and the further search for new functionalities.

description: An alternative description of quantum scattering processes rests on inhomogeneous terms amended to the Schroedinger equation. We detail the structure of sources that give rise to multipole scattering waves of definite angular momentum, and introduce pointlike multipole sources as their limiting case. Partial wave theory is recovered for freely propagating particles. We obtain novel results for ballistic scattering in an external uniform force field, where we provide analytical solutions for both the scattering waves and the integrated particle flux. Our theory directly applies to p-wave photodetachment in an electric field. Furthermore, illustrating the effects of extended sources, we predict some properties of vortex-bearing atom laser beams outcoupled from a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate under the influence of gravity.

Future Weather Files to Support Climate Resilient Building Design in Vancouver
Creators: name: Cavka, Belgin Terim

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Since local weather and climate greatly affect the construction and performance of buildings, reliable meteorological data is essential when simulating building performance. It is well understood that climate change will affect future weather and there is a growing interest in generating future weather files to support climate resilient building design. Weather files that account for climate change have not been widely used for the lower mainland region of British Columbia. In this study, hourly weather files for future climate conditions in Vancouver are created for three time periods using a “morphing” methodology. Morphing uses results from global climate models to adjust observed weather data at a specific location. In this study, daily data from climate simulations for the RCP8.5 emission scenario have been used. The weather variables that have been adjusted are dry-bulb temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, cloud cover, wind speed and atmospheric pressure. The impact of climate change on the energy performance of a multi-unit residential building located on the University of BC campus is analyzed using the energy modelling software EnergyPlus. The simulation results indicate that the changing climate in Vancouver, following RCP8.5, would have a considerable effect on building energy performance and energy demand due to decrease in space heating and increase in cooling requirements.

description: Within a multi-phase transport model with string melting scenario, jet transport parameter $\hat{q}$ is calculated in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN} } $= 200 GeV and Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN} } $= 2.76 TeV. The $\hat{q}$ increases with the increasing of jet energy for both partonic phase and hadronic phase. The energy and path length dependences of $\hat{q}$ in full heavy-ion evolution are consistent with the expectations of jet quenching. The correlation between jet transport parameter $\hat{q}$ and dijet transverse momentum asymmetry $A_{J}$ is mainly investigated, which discloses that a larger $\hat{q}$ corresponds to a larger $A_{J}$. It supports a consistent jet energy loss picture from the two viewpoints of single jet and dijet. It is proposed to measure dijet asymmetry distributions with different jet transport parameter ranges as a new potential method to study jet quenching physics in high energy heavy-ion collisions.

Vision, Folly and Balance: Imperial Approaches to Commerce and War in the Roman Near East, 27 BCE-180 CE
Creators: Paranac, Michael E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: History

description: Few occurrences in antiquity are as widely discussed by a diverse, ancient authorship as transcontinental commerce between the Mediterranean Sea and East Asia. Yet modern historians remain profoundly divided over long-distance trade's origin, operation and effect with regard to the governance of the Roman Principate. There is broad consensus, however, that the volume and value of this trade consistently increased between the administrations of Augustus and Marcus Aurelius. These two centuries also witness curiously divergent foreign policies between emperors, particularly in Rome's Near Eastern possessions. It is thus argued that these phenomena are intrinsically connected and further, that emperors considered them so in deliberating policy. These findings throw light on previous topical historiography and propose a different approach to writing—and understanding—a Roman commercial history.

On the discrete and continuous Miura Chain associated with the Sixth Painlevé Equation

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)

description: A Miura chain is a (closed) sequence of differential (or difference) equations that are related by Miura or Bäcklund transformations. We describe such a chain for the sixth Painlevé equation (\pvi), containing, apart from \pvi itself, a Schwarzian version as well as a second-order second-degree ordinary differential equation (ODE). As a byproduct we derive an auto-Bäcklund transformation, relating two copies of \pvi with different parameters. We also establish the analogous ordinary difference equations in the discrete counterpart of the chain. Such difference equations govern iterations of solutions of \pvi under Bäcklund transformations. Both discrete and continuous equations constitute a larger system which include partial difference equations, differential-difference equations and partial differential equations, all associated with the lattice Korteweg-de Vries equation subject to similarity constraints.

Sparse Model Identification and Learning for Ultra-high-dimensional Additive Partially Linear Models

description: The additive partially linear model (APLM) combines the flexibility of nonparametric regression with the parsimony of regression models, and has been widely used as a popular tool in multivariate nonparametric regression to alleviate the "curse of dimensionality". A natural question raised in practice is the choice of structure in the nonparametric part, that is, whether the continuous covariates enter into the model in linear or nonparametric form. In this paper, we present a comprehensive framework for simultaneous sparse model identification and learning for ultra-high-dimensional APLMs where both the linear and nonparametric components are possibly larger than the sample size. We propose a fast and efficient two-stage procedure. In the first stage, we decompose the nonparametric functions into a linear part and a nonlinear part. The nonlinear functions are approximated by constant spline bases, and a triple penalization procedure is proposed to select nonzero components using adaptive group LASSO. In the second stage, we refit data with selected covariates using higher order polynomial splines, and apply spline-backfitted local-linear smoothing to obtain asymptotic normality for the estimators. The procedure is shown to be consistent for model structure identification. It can identify zero, linear, and nonlinear components correctly and efficiently. Inference can be made on both linear coefficients and nonparametric functions. We conduct simulation studies to evaluate the performance of the method and apply the proposed method to a dataset on the Shoot Apical Meristem (SAM) of maize genotypes for illustration.
Texas Reimagines the Fight Against Floods
Creators: name: Lake, Peter
Publisher: name: Texas Water Journal
Year: 2021

description: The Texas Water Journal invited former Chairman of the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) and current Chairman of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, Peter Lake, to share his thoughts on the 2019 state flood assessment and other framework efforts. The opinion expressed in this commentary is the opinion of the individual author and not the opinion of the Texas Water Journal or the Texas Water Resources Institute. In response to the TWDB’s 2019 state flood assessment and other efforts initiated in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, the 86th Texas Legislature developed a visionary new framework to fight future floods. The TWDB was tasked with overseeing and coordinating this new effort in conjunction with fellow state and federal agencies. In accordance with the guiding legislation, the TWDB is using a familiar framework based on key functional areas: science, planning, and financing. In the case of floods, that framework transforms into mapping, planning, and mitigation—the three pillars of fighting floods in Texas.

Vision, Voice and Audience in La Chartreuse de Parme
Creators: Katz, Lottie
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Literature

description: This dissertation presents a close reading of Stendhal’s La Chartreuse de Parme, analyzing its written style, its themes, and the relationships between its numerous characters and narrative lines. Through a rigorous investigation of these factors, Stendhal’s explicit creative project emerges: the author’s desire to present himself as a storyteller in conversation with his reader.
      	As storyteller, Stendhal applies himself to show rather than tell. In his narrative method first person often replaces the third; the story unfolds before the reader’s eyes as it would on a stage. The clarity and sobriety of Stendhal’s language becomes a vehicle for the vivid expressivity and dynamic energy that give rise to the Chartreuse’s blatant theatrical presentation.
      	This analysis unfolds in five chapters and an epilogue, illuminating the foundations of Stendhal’s theatrical style.
      I. Caricature: The Rogues’ Gallery: An inquiry into the passages that present Stendhal at his satiric best.
      II. Sentence Structure: The stylistic characteristics that underpin theatrical presentation.
      III. The Emphasis on Time: Stendhal’s manipulation of narrative time facilitates the forward movement of the action; it is theatrical in the sense that there is a continuous flow of movement.
      IV. Architectural Structure: Enables the disparate components of the narrative to fit together, though there are a multitude.
      V. Theatrical Prelude: The culmination of Stendhal’s tactics results in an aura of theatricality.

description: The main purpose of this paper is to establish a noncommutative analogue of the Efron--Stein inequality, which bounds the variance of a general function of some independent random variables. Moreover, we state an operator version including random matrices, which extends a result of D. Paulin et al. [Ann. Probab. 44 (2016), no. 5, 3431--3473]. Further, we state a Steele type inequality in the framework of noncommutative probability spaces.

description: We analyse numerically the onset of pre-big bang inflation in an inhomogeneous, spherically symmetric Universe. Adding a small dilatonic perturbation to a trivial (Milne) background, we find that suitable regions of space undergo dilaton-driven inflation and quickly become spatially flat ($Ω\to 1$). Numerical calculations are pushed close enough to the big bang singularity to allow cross checks against previously proposed analytic asymptotic solutions.
