description: Veteran mental health is a significant national problem as large number of veterans are returning from the recent war in Iraq and continued military presence in Afghanistan. While significant existing works have investigated twitter posts-based Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) assessment using blackbox machine learning techniques, these frameworks cannot be trusted by the clinicians due to the lack of clinical explainability. To obtain the trust of clinicians, we explore the big question, can twitter posts provide enough information to fill up clinical PTSD assessment surveys that have been traditionally trusted by clinicians? To answer the above question, we propose, LAXARY (Linguistic Analysis-based Exaplainable Inquiry) model, a novel Explainable Artificial Intelligent (XAI) model to detect and represent PTSD assessment of twitter users using a modified Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) analysis. First, we employ clinically validated survey tools for collecting clinical PTSD assessment data from real twitter users and develop a PTSD Linguistic Dictionary using the PTSD assessment survey results. Then, we use the PTSD Linguistic Dictionary along with machine learning model to fill up the survey tools towards detecting PTSD status and its intensity of corresponding twitter users. Our experimental evaluation on 210 clinically validated veteran twitter users provides promising accuracies of both PTSD classification and its intensity estimation. We also evaluate our developed PTSD Linguistic Dictionary's reliability and validity.

description: This paper presents an analysis of the convergence properties of the Method of Conjugate Gradients. For the problem of unconstrained minimization of convex functions we obtain a condition for choosing scalar weights, which definitely guarantees convergence. We also consider algorithms in which restart procedures are made automatically by applying the above mentioned condition to two versions of the Fletcher-Reeves scheme.

description: Model continuity plays an important role in applications like system identification, adaptive control, and machine learning. This paper provides sufficient conditions under which input-output systems represented by locally convergent Chen-Fliess series are jointly continuous with respect to their generating series and as operators mapping a ball in an $L_p$-space to a ball in an $L_q$-space, where $p$ and $q$ are conjugate exponents. The starting point is to introduce a class of topological vector spaces known as Silva spaces to frame the problem and then to employ the concept of a direct limit to describe convergence. The proof of the main continuity result combines elements of proofs for other forms of continuity appearing in the literature to produce the desired conclusion.

description: Even though the usage amount of the traditional wood fiber paper has been greatly reduced by recycling or some other methods, the demand for paper is still enormous. As many global issues start to influent our daily life, people begin to pay attention to sustainable development. In order to reduce deforestation to preserve the environment, paper manufacturers and consumers start to search for alternative raw materials for paper. As one of the leading universities that dedicate to the pursuit of sustainability, UBC initiated this project to investigate and compare the advantages and disadvantages between sugarcane bagasse paper and wheat straw paper in three main aspects. The report assesses the environmental, economical, and social impacts for both sugarcane bagasse paper and wheat straw paper. With the information we founded and compared, we suggest that UBC should purchase wheat straw paper instead of sugarcane bagasse paper because wheat straw paper is more sustainable in all environmental, economical, and social aspects.

description: We implement two versions of a simple but illustrative smart contract: one in Solidity on the Ethereum blockchain platform, and one in Plutus on the Cardano platform, with annotated code excerpts and with source code attached. We get a clearer view of the Cardano programming model in particular by introducing a novel mathematical abstraction which we call Idealised EUTxO. For each version of the contract, we trace how the architectures of the underlying platforms and their mathematics affects the natural programming styles and natural classes of errors. We prove some simple but novel results about alpha-conversion and observational equivalence for Cardano, and explain why Ethereum does not have them. We conclude with a wide-ranging and detailed discussion in the light of the examples, mathematical model, and mathematical results so far.

description: A general formalism is developed that allows the construction of a field theory on quantum spaces which are deformations of ordinary spacetime. The symmetry group of spacetime (Poincar\' e group) is replaced by a quantum group. This formalism is demonstrated for the kappa-deformed Poincaré algebra and its quantum space. The algebraic setting is mapped to the algebra of functions of commuting variables with a suitable star-product. Fields are elements of this function algebra. The Dirac and Klein-Gordon equation are defined and an action is found from which they can be derived.

description: Quantum spin systems with kinetic constraints have become paradigmatic for exploring collective dynamical behaviour in many-body systems. Here we discuss a facilitated spin system which is inspired by recent progress in the realization of Rydberg quantum simulators. This platform allows to control and investigate the interplay between facilitation dynamics and the coupling of spin degrees of freedom to lattice vibrations. Developing a minimal model, we show that this leads to the formation of polaronic quasiparticle excitations which are formed by many-body spin states dressed by phonons. We investigate in detail the properties of these quasiparticles, such as their dispersion relation, effective mass and the quasiparticle weight. Rydberg lattice quantum simulators are particularly suited for studying this phonon-dressed kinetically constrained dynamics as their exaggerated length scales permit the site-resolved monitoring of spin and phonon degrees of freedom.

description: We consider N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with fundamental matter in the large-N_c approximation in 1+1 dimensions. We add a Chern-Simons term to give the adjoint partons a mass and solve for the meson bound states. Here ``mesons'' are color-singlet states with two partons in the fundamental representation. The spectrum is exactly supersymmetric, and there is complete degeneracy between the fermion and boson bound states. We find that the mass spectrum is composed of two distinct bands. We analyze the properties of the bound states in each band and find a number of interesting properties of these states. In both bands, some of the states are nearly pure quark-gluon bound states while others are nearly pure squark-gluon bound states. The structure functions of many of the bound states found are very strongly peaked near x=0. The convergence of the numerical approximation appears to be very good in all cases.

At order $1/N_f^2$ we discover a new logarithmic branch-cut closer to the origin when compared to the $1/N_f$ results. The same singularity location appears at $1/N_f^3$, and these correspond to a UV renormalon singularity in the finite part of the photon two-point function.

description: In this paper we show that it is possible to switch the spin polarization of the photocurrent signal obtained from a single self-assembled quantum dot photodiode under the effect of elliptically polarized light by just increasing the light intensity. In the nonlinear mechanism treated here, intense elliptically polarized light creates an effective exchange interaction between the exciton spin states through the biexciton state. This effect can be used as a dynamical switch to invert the spin-polarization of the extracted photocurrent. We further show that the effect persists in realistic ensembles of dots, making this a powerful technique to dynamically generate spin-polarized electrons.

description: Colloids coupled to a bath of swimming cells generically display enhanced diffusion. This transport dynamics stems from a subtle interplay between the active and passive particles that still resists our understanding despite decades of intense research. Here, we tackle the root of the problem by providing a quantitative characterisation of the single scattering events between a colloid and a bacterium. Based on our experiments, we build a minimal model that quantitatively predicts the geometry of the scattering trajectories, and enhanced colloidal diffusion at long times. This quantitative confrontation between theory and experiments elucidates the microscopic origin of enhanced transport. Collisions are solely ruled by stochastic contact interactions responsible both for genuine anomalous diffusion at short times and enhanced diffusion at long times with no ballistic regime at any scale.

description: We study tagged particle diffusion at large packing fractions, for a model of particles interacting with a generalized Lennard-Jones 2n-n potential, with large n. The resulting short-range potential mimics interactions in colloidal systems. In agreement with previous calculations for short-range potential, we observe a diffusivity maximum as a function of temperature. By studying the temperature dependence of the configurational entropy -- which we evaluate with two different methods -- we show that a configurational entropy maximum is observed at a temperature close to that of the diffusivity maximum. Our findings suggest a relationbetween dynamics and number of distinct states for short-range potentials.

description: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) must share space with pedestrians, both in carriageway cases such as cars at pedestrian crossings and off-carriageway cases such as delivery vehicles navigating through crowds on pedestrianized high-streets. Unlike static obstacles, pedestrians are active agents with complex, interactive motions. Planning AV actions in the presence of pedestrians thus requires modelling of their probable future behaviour as well as detecting and tracking them. This narrative review article is Part II of a pair, together surveying the current technology stack involved in this process, organising recent research into a hierarchical taxonomy ranging from low-level image detection to high-level psychological models, from the perspective of an AV designer. This self-contained Part II covers the higher levels of this stack, consisting of models of pedestrian behaviour, from prediction of individual pedestrians' likely destinations and paths, to game-theoretic models of interactions between pedestrians and autonomous vehicles. This survey clearly shows that, although there are good models for optimal walking behaviour, high-level psychological and social modelling of pedestrian behaviour still remains an open research question that requires many conceptual issues to be clarified. Early work has been done on descriptive and qualitative models of behaviour, but much work is still needed to translate them into quantitative algorithms for practical AV control.

description: The resummation of logarithmically-enhanced terms to all perturbative orders is a prerequisite for many studies of QCD final-states. Until now such resummations have always been performed by hand, for a single observable at a time. In this letter we present a general `master' resummation formula (and applicability conditions), suitable for a large class of observables. This makes it possible for next-to-leading logarithmic resummations to be carried out automatically given only a computer routine for the observable. To illustrate the method we present the first next-to-leading logarithmic resummed prediction for an event shape in hadronic dijet production.

A Primer on Carbon Tax Relief for Farmers
Creators: name: Dobson, Sarah
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2021

description: Canada’s federal carbon tax is currently inconsistently applied to agricultural fuels. Depending on the type of fuel and its use, farmers may be eligible for a full exemption from the carbon tax, a partial exemption or they may face the full amount of the tax. As an industry, agriculture has comparable sector-level emissions and trade flows as industrial sectors that are eligible to receive carbon pricing support through participation in the federal output-based pricing system (OBPS) and comparable provincial programs Agriculture is currently excluded from these programs, however, as it is characterized by thousands of small producers, the vast majority of which do not exceed the required minimum emissions thresholds. Looking ahead, agriculture should be evaluated to determine whether it meets the emissions intensity and trade exposure thresholds for voluntary participation in federal and provincial OBPS programs. If these thresholds are met then this provides a strong argument for extending carbon pricing support to all sources of combustion emissions in agriculture. Any future support should be offered through a mechanism that maintains the full incentive of the carbon tax. The preferred options are either a lump-sum rebate that is independent of fuel use and emissions, or an output-based rebate system specific to agriculture.

MACKENZIE VALLEY GAS PIPELINE IN RETROSPECT
Creators: name: Munzur, Alaz

description: Canada’s history is punctuated with a number of big and bold national projects, such as the Trans-Canada Highway and the Canadian Pacific Railway, that have played defining roles for the country and its citizens’ prosperity.1 However, over more recent decades, there has been much less success in bringing such projects to fruition. Indeed, the growing number of major national infrastructure projects that have been stalled or cancelled suggests some re-thinking of the factors that impact the development of these projects is required. The lengthy regulatory and review processes to assess major infrastructure development projects and lack of long-term planning are often viewed as sources of conflict between the economic objectives and environmental conservation and culture and heritage preservation. Cancelled and stalled infrastructure projects can offer valuable insight into this and can lead to better decision-making processes around infrastructure development in Canada. For this purpose, this communiqué provides a retrospective look at the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline. Industry proponents developed the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline project in the 1970s in response to the federal government’s decision to facilitate the delivery of gas from Canada’s Arctic to markets in the south (Dosman 1975, 119–124). About half a century later, the project was finally cancelled. As one of the largest infrastructure projects ever considered in Canada, the issues encountered throughout the initial development and regulatory review phases of the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline proposals can provide valuable lessons for similar major infrastructure projects.

description: Until recently, it was thought inappropriate to apply the Durbin-Watson (DW) test to a dynamic linear regression model because of the lack of appropriate critical values. Recently, Inder (1986) used a modified small-disturbance distribution (SDD) to find approximate critical values. This paper studies the exact SDD of statistics of the same general form as the DW statistic and suggests some changes to Inder's result. We show how to calculate true small-disturbance critical values and bounds for these critical values that take into account the exogenous regressors. Our results give a'justification for the use of the familiar tables of bounds when the DW test is applied to a dynamic regression model.
Multiband Quantum Criticality of Polar Metals

description: Motivated by recent experimental realizations of polar metals with broken inversion symmetry, we explore the emergence of strong correlations driven by criticality when the polar transition temperature is tuned to zero. Overcoming previously discussed challenges, we demonstrate a robust mechanism for coupling between the critical mode and electrons in multiband metals. We identify and characterize several novel interacting phases, including non-Fermi liquids, when band crossings are close to the Fermi level and present their experimental signatures for three generic types of band crossings.

A MULTIPLE ACCOUNT BENEFIT-COST ANALYSIS OF COAL MINING IN ALBERTA

description: We examine the positive and negative effects of coal mining in Alberta from a social perspective — that of the province of Alberta rather than the project proponent — using benefit-cost analysis. We provide estimates of the economic, social and environmental impacts (benefits and costs associated with the development, construction, operation and reclamation) of an illustrative coal mine in the Eastern Foothills of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains. Our analysis is meant to inform the public on the potential trade-offs associated with additional coal development, and support and inform Alberta’s current coal policy review. Our analytical framework relies on the method of multiple account benefit-cost analysis. We find small economic benefits in the form of incremental tax revenues ($671 million, nominal dollars) and employment earnings by mineworkers ($35 million, nominal dollars). Given any individual mine’s small size relative to Alberta’s overall economy, there is unlikely to be any material increase in economic activity relative to the absence of mine development. In contrast, costs to Alberta are likely to be significant. These costs come from displacing other economic activity (primarily ranching and tourism); significant and adverse environmental impacts on water, wildlife, vegetation and air; a non-zero probability the province will be responsible for reclamation liabilities; negative social impacts on nearby communities; and interference with Indigenous Peoples’ interests and rights. Overall, we conclude that coal mine development is not likely to be a net benefit to Alberta, and the costs are likely to outweigh the benefits.

description: Large amounts of dust have recently been discovered in high-z galaxies and QSOs. The stellar winds produced by AGB stars are thought to be the main source of dust in galaxies, but they cannot produce that dust on a short enough timescale (<1 Gyr) to explain the results in the high-z galaxies. Supernova explosions of massive stars (TypeII) are also a potential source, with models predicting 0.2-4 Msun of dust from each. As massive stars evolve rapidly, on timescales of a few Myr, these supernovae could be responsible for the high-z dust. Observations of supernova remnants in the Milky Way have previously only revealed 10^-7 - 10^-3 Msun of dust each, which is insufficient to explain the high-z data. Here we report the detection of ~2-4 Msun of cold dust in Cas A. This implies that supernovae are at least as important as stellar winds in producing dust in our Galaxy and would have been the dominant source of dust at high-z.
