description: We give a lower bound for the $\ell^p$-distortion $c_p(X)$ of finite graphs $X$, depending on the first eigenvalue $λ_1^{(p)}(X)$ of the $p$-Laplacian and the maximal displacement of permutations of vertices. For a $k$-regular vertex-transitive graph it takes the form $c_p(X)^{p}\geq diam(X)^{p}λ_{1}^{(p)}(X)/2^{p-1}k$. This bound is optimal for expander families and, for $p=2$, it gives the exact value for cycles and hypercubes. As a new application we give a non-trivial lower bound for the $\ell^2$-distortion of a family of Cayley graphs of $SL_n(q)$ ($q$ fixed, $n\geq 2$) with respect to a standard two-element generating set.

description: The classical approach to visualizing a flow, in terms of its streamlines, motivates a topological/soft-analytic argument for constrained variational equations. In its full generality, that argument provides an explicit formula for completely integrable solutions to a broad class of n-dimensional quasilinear exterior systems. In particular, it yields explicit solutions for extremal surfaces in Minkowski space and for Born--Infeld models.

Bis(amidate) and bis(ureate) complexes of zirconium and tantalum : synthesis and catalytic application in C-N and C-C bond formation
Creators: name: Yonson, Neal
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This is a study of early metal organometallic complexes for catalytic C-N and C-C bond formation using amines. The use of zirconium complexes as hydroamination catalysts is explored first. New axially-chiral bis(amide) and bis(urea) proligands are designed. Synthetic methods used to generate these compounds are described and X-ray crystallographic analysis of a bis(sulfonamide) establishes the absolute configuration of the chiral proligands. Installation of the new bis(amidate) and bis(ureate) ligands onto zirconium is undertaken and the structure of these complexes is examined in solution and, where possible, in the solid state. Where well-defined zirconium complexes can be obtained, those complexes are tested for their efficacy in enantioselective catalytic hydroamination. In the absence of well-defined zirconium complexes, an in situ catalyst generation protocol is employed. Catalysts featuring a bis(amidate) ligand derived from 2,2ʹ-diamino-6,6ʹ-dimethylbiphenyl achieve modest hydroamination activity with a primary aminoalkene at 110 °C, with enantiomeric excesses (ee’s) of up to 25%. Catalysts featuring a bis(amidate) ligand derived from 3,3ʹ,5,5ʹ-tetrabromo-2,2ʹ-diamino-6,6ʹ-dimethylbiphenyl display impressive reactivity with a primary aminoalkene, including room temperature hydroamination, with ee’s ranging from 52-55%. Catalysts featuring a bis(ureate) ligand derived from 2,2ʹ-diamino-6,6ʹ-dimethylbiphenyl are shown to be capable of cyclizing secondary aminoalkenes with ee’s up to 63%. Capillary electrophoresis is developed as a method to determine the ee of tertiary amine products. A kinetic study of a catalyst featuring a bis(amidate) ligand derived from 2,2ʹ-diamino-6,6ʹ-dimethylbiphenyl supports established mechanistic proposals for neutral group 4 hydroamination catalysts. Solid state molecular structures, combined with existing knowledge of bonding and catalytic reaction pathways, are used to propose models for how enantioselectivity is achieved through the use of different ligand frameworks. The use of known ligands in the formation of tantalum complexes for hydroaminoalkylation catalysis is then explored. Installation of such axially-chiral bis(amidate) ligands onto tantalum centres is undertaken and the structure of these complexes is examined in solution and, where possible, in the solid state. Catalytic testing reveals general competence of these catalysts for the hydroaminoalkylation reaction.

description: Pervasive socio-technical networks bring new conceptual and technological challenges to developers and users alike. A central research theme is evaluation of the intensity of relations linking users and how they facilitate communication and the spread of information. These aspects of human relationships have been studied extensively in the social sciences under the framework of the "strength of weak ties" theory proposed by Mark Granovetter.13 Some research has considered whether that theory can be extended to online social networks like Facebook, suggesting interaction data can be used to predict the strength of ties. The approaches being used require handling user-generated data that is often not publicly available due to privacy concerns. Here, we propose an alternative definition of weak and strong ties that requires knowledge of only the topology of the social network (such as who is a friend of whom on Facebook), relying on the fact that online social networks, or OSNs, tend to fragment into communities. We thus suggest classifying as weak ties those edges linking individuals belonging to different communities and strong ties as those connecting users in the same community. We tested this definition on a large network representing part of the Facebook social graph and studied how weak and strong ties affect the information-diffusion process. Our findings suggest individuals in OSNs self-organize to create well-connected communities, while weak ties yield cohesion and optimize the coverage of information spread.

description: We present a catalog of revised effective temperatures for stars observed in long-cadence mode in the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC). We use SDSS griz filters tied to the fundamental temperature scale. Polynomials for griz color-temperature relations are presented, along with correction terms for surface gravity effects, metallicity, and statistical corrections for binary companions or blending. We compare our temperature scale to the published infrared flux method (IRFM) scale for VJKs in both open clusters and the Kepler fields. We find good agreement overall, with some deviations between (J - Ks)-based temperatures from the IRFM and both SDSS filter and other diagnostic IRFM color-temperature relationships above 6000 K. For field dwarfs we find a mean shift towards hotter temperatures relative to the KIC, of order 215 K, in the regime where the IRFM scale is well-defined (4000 K to 6500 K). This change is of comparable magnitude in both color systems and in spectroscopy for stars with Teff below 6000 K. Systematic differences between temperature estimators appear for hotter stars, and we define corrections to put the SDSS temperatures on the IRFM scale for them. When the theoretical dependence on gravity is accounted for we find a similar temperature scale offset between the fundamental and KIC scales for giants. We demonstrate that statistical corrections to color-based temperatures from binaries are significant. Typical errors, mostly from uncertainties in extinction, are of order 100 K. Implications for other applications of the KIC are discussed.

description: We present Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy and CFHT/MegaCam photometry for the Milky Way globular cluster Palomar 13. We triple the number of spectroscopically confirmed members, including many repeat velocity measurements. Palomar 13 is the only known globular cluster with possible evidence for dark matter, based on a Keck/HIRES 21 star velocity dispersion of sigma=2.2+/-0.4 km/s. We reproduce this measurement, but demonstrate that it is inflated by unresolved binary stars. For our sample of 61 stars, the velocity dispersion is sigma=0.7(+0.6/-0.5) km/s. Combining our DEIMOS data with literature values, our final velocity dispersion is sigma=0.4(+0.4/-0.3) km/s. We determine a spectroscopic metallicity of [Fe/H]=-1.6+/-0.1 dex, placing a 1-sigma upper limit of sigma_[Fe/H]~0.2 dex on any internal metallicity spread. We determine Palomar 13's total luminosity to be M_V=-2.8+/-0.4, making it among the least luminous known globular clusters. The photometric isophotes are regular out to the half-light radius and mildly irregular outside this radius. The outer surface brightness profile slope is shallower than typical globular clusters (eta=-2.8+/-0.3). Thus at large radius, tidal debris is likely affecting the appearance of Palomar 13. Combining our luminosity with the intrinsic velocity dispersion, we find a dynamical mass of of M_1/2=1.3(+2.7/-1.3)x10^3 M_sun and a mass-to-light ratio of M/L_V=2.4(+5.0/-2.4) M_sun/L_sun. Within our measurement errors, the mass-to-light ratio agrees with the theoretical predictions for a single stellar population. We conclude that, while there is some evidence for tidal stripping at large radius, the dynamical mass of Palomar 13 is consistent with its stellar mass and neither significant dark matter, nor extreme tidal heating, is required to explain the cluster dynamics.

         la totalité de leur développement larvaire dans le lagon. Cette stratégie est possible en
         raison d'un développement court et d'une adaptation à l'hydrodynamisme du lagon. En
         revanche, les espèces à longue vie larvaire (genres panulirus, parribacus, scyllarides et
         certaines espèces de scyllarus) effectuent leur développement dans l'océan. Afin de limiter
         ou d'éviter un passage dans le lagon, les phyllosomes remontent à la surface à l'éclosion
         ce qui les positionne dans une couche d'eau qui, grâce aux alizes, dérive rapidement vers

It is argued that the term $Nσ(γ)$ must be negative definite, which leads to the bound on the BI parameter.

description: Richard Feynman once said, “What I cannot create, I do not understand.” Similarly, making virtual humans more realistic helps us better grasp human nature. Simulating lifelike avatars has scientific value (such as in biomechanics) and practical applications (like the Metaverse). However, creating them affordably at scale with high quality remains challenging. Reconstructing complex poses, varied clothing, and unseen areas from casual photos under real-world conditions is still difficult. We address this through a series of works—ICON, ECON, TeCH, PuzzleAvatar—bridging pixel-based reconstruction with text-guided generation to reframe reconstruction as conditional generation. This allows us to turn everyday photos, like personal albums featuring random poses, diverse clothing, tricky angles, and arbitrary cropping, into 3D avatars. The process converts unstructured data into structured output without unnecessary complexity. With these techniques, we can efficiently scale up the creation of digital humans using readily available imagery.

description: The top quark pair production cross section is measured in dilepton events with one electron or muon, and one hadronically decaying tau lepton from the decay t anti-t to (l nu(l)) (tau nu(tau)) b anti-b, where l can be either an electron or a muon. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.0 inverse femtobarns for the electron channel and 2.2 inverse femtobarns for the muon channel, collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. This is the first measurement of the t anti-t cross section explicitly including tau leptons in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The measured value sigma(t anti-t) = 143 +/- 14 (stat.) +/- 22 (syst.) +/- 3 (lumi.) pb is consistent with the standard model predictions.

Job, Ecclesiastes, and the mechanics of wisdom in Old English poetry
Creators: name: Persson, Karl Arthur Erik
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation raises and answers, as far as possible within its scope, the following question: “What does Old English wisdom literature have to do with Biblical wisdom literature?” Critics have analyzed Old English wisdom with regard to a variety of analogous wisdom cultures; Carolyne Larrington (A Store of Common Sense) studies Old Norse analogues, Susan Deskis (Beowulf and the Medieval Proverb Tradition) situates Beowulf’s wisdom in relation to broader medieval proverb culture, and Charles Dunn and Morton Bloomfield (The Role of the Poet in Early Societies) situate Old English wisdom amidst a variety of international wisdom writings. But though Biblical wisdom was demonstrably available to Anglo-Saxon readers, and though critics generally assume certain parallels between Old English and Biblical wisdom, none has undertaken a detailed study of these parallels or their role as a precondition for the development of the Old English wisdom tradition. Limiting itself to the discussion of two Biblical wisdom texts, Job and Ecclesiastes, this dissertation undertakes the beginnings of such a study, orienting interpretation of these books via contemporaneous reception by figures such as Gregory the Great (Moralia in Job, Werferth’s Old English translation of the Dialogues), Jerome (Commentarius in Ecclesiasten), Ælfric (“Dominica I in Mense Septembri Quando Legitur Job”), and Alcuin (Commentarius Super Ecclesiasten). It then traces parallels between the Jobean and Ecclesiastean traditions and various instances of Old English wisdom. These instances include wisdom in heroic, hagiographic, and riddling poetry, including Beowulf, The Battle of Maldon, Guthlac A & B, the Exeter riddles, and Solomon and Saturn I; they also include typical exemplars of the Old English wisdom canon, including Solomon and Saturn II, Maxims I & II, The Fortunes of Men, Precepts, Vainglory, The Wanderer, and The Seafarer.

description: The N=4 super Yang-Mills plasma is studied in the regime of weak coupling. Collective excitations and collisional processes are discussed. Since the Keldysh-Schwinger approach is used, the collective excitations in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium plasma are under consideration. The dispersion equations of gluon, fermion, and scalar modes are written down and the self-energies, which enter the equations, are computed in the Hard Loop Approximation. The self-energies are discussed in the context of effective action which is also given. The gluon modes and fermion ones appear to be the same as those in the QCD plasma of gluons and massless quarks. The scalar modes are as of a free relativistic massive particle. The binary collisional processes, which occur at the lowest nontrivial order of the coupling constant, are reviewed and then the transport properties of the plasma are discussed. The N=4 super Yang-Mills plasma is finally concluded to be very similar the QCD plasma of gluons and light quarks. The differences mostly reflect different numbers of degrees of freedom in the two systems.

description: The $q,t$-Catalan numbers can be defined using rational functions, geometry related to Hilbert schemes, symmetric functions, representation theory, Dyck paths, partition statistics, or Dyck words. After decades of intensive study, it was eventually proved that all these definitions are equivalent. In this paper, we study the similar situation for higher $q,t$-Catalan numbers, where the equivalence of the algebraic and combinatorial definitions is still conjectural. We compute the limits of several versions of the modified higher $q,t$-Catalan numbers and show that these limits equal the generating function for integer partitions. We also identify certain coefficients of the higher $q,t$-Catalan numbers as enumerating suitable integer partitions, and we make some conjectures on the homological significance of the Bergeron-Garsia nabla operator.

Translocation stress in Stephens' kangaroo rats : how individual variation influences success
Creators: name: Baker, Liv
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Wildlife translocation involves the relocation of free-ranging animals from one area to another. It is commonly used to combat species loss. However, its outcomes are poor; some reviews put the success rate as low as 10-25%. This is likely influenced by a lack of attention to individuals. Translocations involve some combination of stressors (e.g., capture, captivity, monitoring, environmental change). Although animals have evolved behavioural and physiological mechanisms to manage challenges, the combination of stressors during translocation can compromise these coping mechanisms. Personality should have significance for translocations as individuals with certain personality types and life experience may handle translocation stressors better than others. The aim of this thesis was to profile individual Stephens’ kangaroo rats (SKR), Dipodomys stephensi, and to assess their responses to translocation. To do this a combination of behavioural and physiological measures were used. Personality types were identified using quantitative and qualitative measures from mirror-image stimulation and predator scent tests done while animals were held before release (Chapters 3 and 5). A radioimmunoassay specific for cortisol in SKR fecal extract was developed and adrenocortical activity (cortisol) in response to predator urine was reliably assessed in fecal samples (Chapter 2). Fecal cortisol concentration (FCC) was used to measure the effect of translocation stressors, including the use of radio transmitters (Chapters 4 and 5). Survival was affected by individual variation in behavioural and physiological responses (Chapter 5). Assertiveness, Excitability and Persistence were identified as three personality dimensions. Overall, FCC increased in response to temporary captivity. Radio transmitters caused a short-term elevation in FCC 6 days after attachment but not at 30 days. Survival to 1 month was similar for animals with and without transmitters. SKR with lower Assertiveness and Excitability and with higher basal FCC had higher short-term survival. Higher Assertiveness was correlated with lower basal FCC. SKR that had a smaller change in FCC during captivity had higher long-term survival. This study lends convincing support that variation in personality affects how well an animal copes with translocation and has consequences for survival. Knowing how to manage different personality types may determine how successfully a translocated population establishes itself.

description: High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in simultaneous intense near-infrared (NIR) laser light and brilliant x rays above an inner-shell absorption edge is examined. A tightly bound inner-shell electron is transferred into the continuum. Then, NIR light takes over and drives the liberated electron through the continuum until it eventually returns to the cation leading in some cases to recombination and emission of a high-order harmonic (HH) photon that is upshifted by the x-ray photon energy. We develop a theory of this scenario and apply it to $1s$ electrons of neon atoms. The boosted HH light is used to generate a single attosecond pulse in the kiloelectronvolt regime. Prospects for nonlinear x-ray physics and HHG-based spectroscopy involving core orbitals are discussed.

description: The shear-induced fluidization of a carbopol microgel is investigated during long start-up experiments using combined rheology and velocimetry in Couette cells of varying gap widths and boundary conditions. As already described in [Divoux et al., {\it Phys. Rev. Lett.}, 2010, {\bf 104}, 208301], we show that the fluidization process of this simple yield stress fluid involves a transient shear-banding regime whose duration $τ_f$ decreases as a power law of the applied shear rate $\gp$. Here we go one step further by an exhaustive investigation of the influence of the shearing geometry through the gap width $e$ and the boundary conditions. While slip conditions at the walls seem to have a negligible influence on the fluidization time $τ_f$, different fluidization processes are observed depending on $\gp$ and $e$: the shear band remains almost stationary for several hours at low shear rates or small gap widths before strong fluctuations lead to a homogeneous flow, whereas at larger values of $\gp$ or $e$, the transient shear band is seen to invade the whole gap in a much smoother way. Still, the power-law behaviour appears as very robust and hints to critical-like dynamics. To further discuss these results, we propose (i) a qualitative scenario to explain the induction-like period that precedes full fluidization and (ii) an analogy with critical phenomena that naturally leads to the observed power laws if one assumes that the yield point is the critical point of an underlying out-of-equilibrium phase transition.

description: Random dynamical systems with countably many maps which admit countable Markov partitions on complete metric spaces such that the resulting Markov systems are uniformly continuous and contractive are considered. A non-degeneracy and a consistency conditions for such systems, which admit some proper Markov partitions of connected spaces, are introduced, and further sufficient conditions for them are provided. It is shown that every uniformly continuous Markov system associated with a continuous random dynamical system is consistent if it has a dominating Markov chain. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an invariant Borel probability measure for such a non-degenerate system with a dominating Markov chain and a finite (16) is given. The condition is also sufficient if the non-degeneracy is weakened with the consistency condition. A further sufficient condition for the existence of an invariant measure for such a consistent system which involves only the properties of the dominating Markov chain is provided. In particular, it implies that every such a consistent system with a finite Markov partition and a finite (16) has an invariant Borel probability measure. A bijective map between these measures and equilibrium states associated with such a system is established in the non-degenerate case. Some properties of the map and the measures are given.

description: Heavy-tailed high-dimensional data are commonly encountered in various scientific fields and pose great challenges to modern statistical analysis. A natural procedure to address this problem is to use penalized quantile regression with weighted $L_1$-penalty, called weighted robust Lasso (WR-Lasso), in which weights are introduced to ameliorate the bias problem induced by the $L_1$-penalty. In the ultra-high dimensional setting, where the dimensionality can grow exponentially with the sample size, we investigate the model selection oracle property and establish the asymptotic normality of the WR-Lasso. We show that only mild conditions on the model error distribution are needed. Our theoretical results also reveal that adaptive choice of the weight vector is essential for the WR-Lasso to enjoy these nice asymptotic properties. To make the WR-Lasso practically feasible, we propose a two-step procedure, called adaptive robust Lasso (AR-Lasso), in which the weight vector in the second step is constructed based on the $L_1$-penalized quantile regression estimate from the first step. This two-step procedure is justified theoretically to possess the oracle property and the asymptotic normality. Numerical studies demonstrate the favorable finite-sample performance of the AR-Lasso.

A collapse study of a lightly reinforced concrete shear wall building during the February 22, 2011 Christchurch earthquake
Creators: name: Barnes, Alex

description: The Canterbury earthquake sequence in New Zealand started with the September 2010 earthquake, followed by large aftershock events throughout the following year. This sequence displayed the vulnerability of lightly reinforced concrete buildings built prior to 1980; specifically, the Pyne Gould Corporation (PGC) building, which collapsed during the February 22, 2011 event in Christchurch, New Zealand. PGC was a lightly reinforced concrete shear wall building with an exterior gravity frame built in 1964. A previous seismic study by Beca Carter Hollings and Ferner (Beca) of PGC was prepared for the Canterbury Earthquake Royal Commission and concluded flexural failure of the shear core governed the collapse. Failure initiated by rupture of the reinforcement in the west wall flange, followed by crushing of the east wall flange, leading to an increase in deformation demand on the building causing the exterior frame to lose its vertical-load-carrying capability. A seismic performance study and collapse analysis was performed on PGC during the September and February earthquakes. The study focuses on the vulnerabilities of the shear core and the exterior gravity frame, as well as the torsion irregularity and how it may have contributed to the collapse. Two comprehensive nonlinear models, a fiber element model and a multiple-vertical-line-element model were used to simulate the September and February earthquakes within the computer software OpenSees. Non-linear time history analyses were performed to determine the primary cause of failure, how the gravity frame lost its vertical-load-carrying capacity and how the torsional irregularity affected the seismic response. The analysis concluded failure of the core walls was likely initiated by shear failure in the highly perforated wall at the north end of the core. This conclusion is consistent with the observation of sizable diagonal cracks in the third story of the north wall, indicating possible shear failure. By comparing multiple configurations the analysis concluded the location of the core had minimal influence on the collapse. This is consistent with the post collapse photos of the floor slabs indicating minimal plan rotation. Post-processing indicated the exterior gravity frame was governed by joint shear failure causing the frame to fail in a sidesway mechanism.

description: This article deals with IDT processes, i.e. processes which are infinitely divisible with respect to time. Given an IDT process $(X_{t},\,t\geq0)$, there exists a unique (in law) Lévy process $(L_{t}; t\geq0)$ which has the same one-dimensional marginals distributions, i.e for any $t\geq0$ fixed, we have $$X_{t}\stackrel{(law)}{=}L_{t}.$$ Such processes are said to be associated. The main objective of this work is to exhibit numerous examples of IDT processes and their associated Lévy processes. To this end, we take up ideas of the monograph \textit{Peacocks and associated martingales} from F. Hirsch, C. Profeta, B. Roynette and M. Yor (Lévy, Sato and Gaussian sheet methods) and apply them in the framework of IDT processes. This gives a new interesting outlook to the study of processes whose only one-dimensional marginals are known. Also, we give an integrated weak Itô type formula for IDT processes (in the same spirit as the one for Gaussian processes) and some links between IDT processes and selfdecomposability. The last sections are devoted to the study of some extensions of the notion of IDT processes in the weak sense as well as in the multiparameter sense. In particular, a new approach for multiparameter IDT processes is introduced and studied. Main examples of this kind of processes are the $\mathbb{R}_{+}^{N}$-parameter Lévy process and the Lévy's $\mathbb{R}^{M}$-parameter Brownian motion. These results give some better understanding of IDT processes, and may be seen as some continuation of the works of K. Es-Sebaiy and Y. Ouknine [\textit{How rich is the class of processes which are infinitely divisible with respect to time ?}] and R. Mansuy [\textit{On processes which are infinitely divisible with respect to time}].

description: Aqueous rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have attracted great attention as an alternative to traditional battery technologies, being able to overcome the issues caused by flammable and expensive organic electrolytes. In particular, LiMn2O4 has reached very fast second-level charge capability by the synthesis of unconventional morphology and particle sizes, allowing charging rates up to 600 C and 93% retention of the capacity after 10,000 cycles. However, the self-discharge process and aging mechanisms for aqueous batteries have been rarely studied, which contrasts with the extensive bibliography of the same phenomena in LMO cells based on organic electrolytes. In this article, the mechanisms involved in the loss of reversible specific charges were studied by diverse techniques like OCV, EIS, and In-situ Raman. The results revealed a more favorable self-discharge process compared with using organic electrolytes owing to the lower stability of water. The self-discharge process can be divided into three different regions with a sequential lower decay rate of voltage and capacity as well as two different evolutions of the electric parameters. This study opens new questions about the nature, composition, and mechanisms of the self-discharge in aqueous media which will play a critical role in the electrochemical performance of novel aqueous Li-ion batteries.
