description: Moment-closure methods are popular tools to simplify the mathematical analysis of stochastic models defined on networks, in which high dimensional joint distributions are approximated (often by some heuristic argument) as functions of lower dimensional distributions. Whilst undoubtedly useful, several such methods suffer from issues of non-uniqueness and inconsistency. These problems are solved by an approach based on the maximisation of entropy, which is motivated, derived and implemented in this article. A series of numerical experiments are also presented, detailing the application of the method to the Susceptible-Infective-Recovered model of epidemics, as well as cautionary examples showing the sensitivity of moment-closure techniques in general.

description: In a remarkable series of papers, Zlil Sela classified the first-order theories of free groups and torsion-free hyperbolic groups using geometric structures he called towers. It was later proved by Chloé Perin that if H is an elementarily embedded subgroup (or elementary submodel) of a torsion-free hyperbolic group G, then G is a tower over H. We prove a generalization of Perin's results to toral relatively hyperbolic groups using JSJ and shortening techniques.

These equations are obtained in kinetic approach using quasi-equilibrium distribution function of quasi-particles, which vanishs collision integral of quasi-particles, and contains dependence on electric field by means of phenomenological parameter α. Using experimental data at temperature range of 1,4 - 2 K, where basic role plays roton hydrodynamics, the value of phenomenological parameter, is obtained.

description: Developing a theory of high-temperature superconductivity in copper oxides is one of the outstanding problems in physics. It is a challenge that has defeated theoretical physicists for more than twenty years. Attempts to understand this problem are hindered by the subtle interplay among a few mechanisms and the presence of several nearly degenerate and competing phases in these systems. Here we present some crucial experiments that place essential constraints on the pairing mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity. The observed unconventional oxygenisotope effects in cuprates have clearly shown strong electron-phonon interactions and the existence of polarons and/or bipolarons. Angle-resolved photoemission and tunneling spectra have provided direct evidence for strong coupling to multiple-phonon modes. In contrast, these spectra do not show strong coupling features expected for magnetic resonance modes. Angle-resolved photoemission spectra and the oxygen-isotope effect on the antiferromagnetic exchange energy J in undoped parent compounds consistently show that the polaron binding energy is about 2 eV, which is over one order of magnitude larger than J = 0.14 eV. The normal-state spin-susceptibility data of holedoped cuprates indicate that intersite bipolarons are the dominant charge carriers in the underdoped region while the component of Fermi-liquid-like polarons is dominant in the overdoped region. All the experiments to test the gap or order-parameter symmetry consistently demonstrate that the intrinsic gap (pairing) symmetry for the Fermi-liquid-like component is anisotropic s-wave and the order-parameter symmetry of the Bose-Einstein condensation of bipolarons is d-wave.

J/ψ Polarization At Mid-rapidity In P+P Collisions At √s = 200 GeV At STAR
Creators: name: Siwei Luo
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Experimental measurements of quarkonium cross section and polarization are two main approaches to gain insight into quarkonium production mechanism. Quarkonium polarization refers to anisotropic spatial distribution of lepton decay from quarkonium with regard to quarkonium momentum. Although many theoretical models achieve good consistency with the experimental measurement on quarkonium transverse momentum spectra, they have very different predictions on quarkonium polarization. Therefore, quarkonium polarization measurements have a strong capability to distinguish different models and portrait the quarkonium production mechanism. In this study, the main detectors in Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC (STAR), time projection chamber, time-of-flight and Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter are fully applied for track reconstruction, particle identification and physical quantity measurement. The raw yield of J/ψ as a function of polar and azimuthal angles is calculated from STAR datasets collected in 2012 from p+p collisions at √s = 200GeV, and the efficiency of detectors is obtained by GEANT3 simulation. A statistical estimator for J/ψ polarization parameters is constructed based on the principle of maximum likelihood estimation. Its properties are studied via Monte Carlo simulation. It is the first time that the measurements of λφ, λθφ and λinv are presented by STAR experiment. The results don’t suggest prominent J/ψ polarization. Among available theoretical models compared with the measurement, the CGC+NRQCD achieve the best agreement.

description: Deneb is often considered the prototypical A-type supergiant, and is one of the visually most luminous stars in the Galaxy. A-type supergiants are potential extragalactic distance indicators, but the variability of these stars needs to be better characterized before this technique can be considered reliable. We analyzed 339 high resolution echelle spectra of Deneb obtained over the five-year span of 1997 through 2001 as well as 370 Stromgren photometric measurements obtained during the same time frame. Our spectroscopic analysis included dynamical spectra of the H-alpha profile, H-alpha equivalent widths, and radial velocities measured from Si II 6347, 6371. Time-series analysis reveals no obvious cyclic behavior that proceeds through multiple observing seasons, although we found a suspected 40 day period in two, non-consecutive observing seasons. Some correlations are found between photometric and radial velocity data sets, and suggest radial pulsations at two epochs. No correlation is found between the variability of the H-alpha profiles and that of the radial velocities or the photometry. Lucy (1976) found evidence that Deneb was a long period single-lined spectroscopic binary star, but our data set shows no evidence for radial velocity variations caused by a binary companion.

The semantics and pragmatics of English evidential expressions : the expression of evidentiality in police interviews
Creators: name: Glougie, Jennifer Robin Sarah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The goal of this dissertation is to examine how English speakers express their evidence in the context of police interviews. I show that speakers use discourse markers, in particular, actually, apparently and supposedly, to explain their evidence in a criminal investigation. The data for this research was collected exclusively from transcripts of police interviews of lay witnesses in the investigation into the disappearance and murder of Caylee Anthony that occurred in Orange County, Florida, between 2008 and 2011. I show that actually marks evidence strength and is felicitous where the speaker has the ‘best’ evidence for their proposition. Actually’s evidential contribution largely parallels the best possible grounds evidential -mi in Cuzco Quechua, and contrasts with that observed for English must. Apparently marks that the speaker’s evidence for the proposition is indirect and supposedly marks that the speaker has reported evidence for the proposition and that they distrust the report. In addition to what evidentials mean, this dissertation considers what speakers use evidentials to do. I show that speakers use evidentials to negotiate the common ground (cg) of discourse. While a bare assertion proposes its propositional content for inclusion in the cg, speakers use actually-assertions both to propose the propositional content for inclusion and to advocate for its inclusion by marking that the speaker has best evidence for that content. Because actually highlights the strength of the speaker’s evidence, it can be used to achieve delicate discourse actions like correcting, challenging and disagreeing. In questions, actually puts the addressee on notice that the information proposed in a bare assertion cannot be included in the cg without more information; actually-questions encourage the addressee to justify their evidence either by disclosing the source of their evidence or by expressly aligning as author and/or principal of that information. Speakers use apparently and supposedly to proffer information that may be relevant to the investigation but without proposing it for inclusion in the cg, because they are either agnostic about its reliability or know it to be untrustworthy.

description: Because of their caloric and thermal nature, speed of sound data are vital for the development of fundamental Helmholtz energy equations of state for fluids. The present work reports such data for methanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, and 1-butanol along seven isotherms in the temperature range from 220 to 500 K and a pressure of up to 125 MPa. The overall expanded uncertainty varies between 0.07% and 0.11% with a confidence level of 95%. The employed experiment is based on a double path length pulse-echo method with a single piezoelectric quartz crystal of 8 MHz, which is placed between two reflectors at different path lengths. Measured speed of sound data for the four alcohols are fitted with double polynomial equations and compared with literature sources.

description: Thermodynamic speed of sound data are an important basis for the development of Helmholtz energy equations of state because of their thermal and caloric nature. Moreover, they can be measured rapidly and with a high accuracy. Xenon is sampled with the pulse-echo technique to provide speed of sound data covering a temperature range from 217 K to 500 K with a pressure of up to 100 MPa. The measurement cell’s path length is calibrated with water and validated with the reference equation of state by Wagner and Pruß (2002). At a confidence level of 95% (k=2), the data have an overall expanded uncertainty of up to 0.17% near the critical point and less than 0.1% in the liquid and supercritical regions. The results are in good agreement with the Helmholtz energy equation of state by Lemmon and Span (2006) with a maximum deviation of up to 1.1%. The present data are also used to optimize the parameters of the Lennard-Jones potential and its truncated and shifted form for xenon. This parameterization leads to a convincingly better performance for the speed of sound calculation, but the representation of other properties, like the vapor-liquid two phase region, is significantly deteriorated.

description: We investigate the phase transitions of holographic p-wave superconductors in (4+1)-dimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills-Gauss-Bonnet theories, in a grand canonical ensemble. Turning on the back-reaction of the Yang-Mills field, it is found that the condensations of vector order parameter become harder if the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient grows up or the back-reaction becomes stronger. In particular, the vector order parameter exhibits the features of first order and second order phase transitions, while only the second order phase transition is observed in the probe limit. We discuss the roles that the Gauss-Bonnet term and the back-reaction play in changing the order of phase transition.

Domesticating the Country: Indigenous Power and Colonialism in the Black Swamp of the Old Northwest
Creators: name: Fackler, Eliot Henry
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This dissertation examines the history of Indigenous communities living in and around the Black Swamp, a vast wetland between the Maumee and Sandusky rivers in the southwestern Lake Erie basin. For millennia diverse groups constructed niches in this fertile landscape. During the second half of the eighteenth century, France, Great Britain, and, later, the United States sought to exert territorial control over the Ohio Country. The Black Swamp, however, provided refuge and abundant food and furs for the Odawa, Wyandot, Miami, and other communities that called the region home. Utilizing the abundance of the region, Native peoples asserted their political autonomy and territorial control over the region between the 1750s and 1790s. By the mid-1790s, the United States conquered most of the Ohio Country. Yet, even after the 1795 Treaty of Greenville the Black Swamp remained a multispecies refuge and Indigenous homeland. Relying on geological and archaeological evidence and written sources, “Domesticating the Country” argues that Native peoples in this contested region successfully resisted colonial conquest throughout the eighteenth century. Ultimately, I conclude that the occupation of the region by soldiers and citizens of the United States during the first third of the nineteenth century was not chiefly the result of the military “conquest” that facilitated the Treaty of Greenville and subsequent negotiations between Indigenous communities and the United States. Rather, this study argues that American conquest was inaugurated by the rapid attenuation of Indigenous subsistence practices, community viability, and forms of political power. The decline of game populations, the razing of villages and burning of fields, the application of European law to Indigenous social systems, and the insistence of legal property transfers by British and American military leaders and diplomats as a condition of battlefield defeats and treaty negotiations steadily created the conditions of possibility that slowly led to the subjugation and colonial occupation of the Black Swamp and its peoples.

description: The thermodynamic properties of strong short-range attractive Yukawa fluids, k=10, 9, 8, and 7, are determined by combining the slab technique with the standard and the replica exchange Monte Carlo (REMC) methods. A good agreement was found among the coexistence curves of these systems calculated by REMC and those previously reported in the literature. However, REMC allows exploring the coexistence at lower temperatures, where dynamics turns glassy. To obtain the surface tension we employed, for both methods, a procedure that yields the pressure tensor components for discontinuous potentials. The surface tension results obtained by the standard MC and REMC techniques are in good agreement.

Understanding Parent Participation in the Postsecondary Education of Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder

description: Of the 50,000 youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who achieve adulthood each year, the National Autism Indicators Report disclosed that 36% attend a postsecondary school. Among these, an 80% majority, attended 2-year colleges and 11% attended 4-year colleges (Roux et al., 2015a, 2015b). A systematic review of the literature exposed a gap with respect to the participation of parents of postsecondary students with ASD, a best practice in primary and secondary education. To understand parent participation in the postsecondary education of their students with ASD, I designed a mixed-methods research study examining three domains of support, autonomy, social integration, and stress/emotional relief. An online dichotomous survey of 45 questions plus 14 open-ended questions collected data contemporaneously from 45 parents. Construct validity as measured through Mokken Scale Analysis rated strongest for social integration with the scalability coefficient H=.39 and standard error of .08, with KR-20 analysis confirming high reliability of .76 for internal consistency. Quantitative and qualitative results triangulated, with academic and executive function support emerging as additional domains of participation exposed through qualitative elaboration. To generalize, parents were fostering skills which fall under the rubric of self-determination, the development of which is delayed beyond young adulthood among individuals with ASD, particularly skills associated with executive function. Further testing of the dichotomous instrument with larger sample sizes is warranted and suggested.

Silicon-on-insulator microring resonator based filters with bent couplers
Creators: name: Eid, Nourhan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: In this thesis, we present and study the use of bent couplers in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) microring resonator (MRR) based filters. MRR based filters are attractive candidates in wavelength division-multiplexing (WDM) transceivers because of their compactness and low power consumptions. However, they suffer from drawbacks that include a limited free spectral range (FSR) which limit the number of channels that can be simultaneously multiplexed and/or demultiplexed. Our work investigates SOI single-ring MRR filters with bent couplers that have extended FSRs, enhanced filter performance (such as bandwidth, out-of-band rejection ratio, side-mode suppression, extinction ratio, and insertion loss) while maintaining compact footprints. Our aim is to make these filters attractive candidates to the current state-of-the-art WDM transceivers. We first demonstrated a 2.75 μm radius MRR filter that employs bent directional couplers in its coupling regions. This MRR filter was fabricated using a 248 nm photolithography process. Our filter has a 33.4 nm FSR and a 3-dB bandwidth of 25 GHz. Also, our MRR achieved an out-of-band-rejection ratio of 42 dB, an extinction ratio of 19 dB, and a drop-port insertion loss that is less than 1 dB. Lastly, our MRR filter has a tuning efficiency of 12 mW/FSR. Then, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrated an MRR filter with bent contra-directional couplers that exhibits an FSR-free response, at both the drop and through ports, while achieving a compact footprint. Also, using bent contra-directional couplers in the coupling regions of MRRs allows us to achieve larger side-mode suppressions than MRRs with straight CDCs. The fabricated MRR filter has a minimum suppression ratio of more than 15 dB, a 3dB-bandwidth of ~23 GHz, a through-port extinction ratio of ~18 dB, and a drop-port insertion loss of ~1 dB. High-speed data transmission through the MRR filter is demonstrated at data rates of 12.5 Gbps, 20 Gbps, and 28 Gbps.

Here, we apply techniques from dynamical systems and perturbation theory to analyze a theoretical framework for the growth and decline of competing social groups. We present a new treatment of the competition for adherents between religious and irreligious segments of modern secular societies and compile a new international data set tracking the growth of religious non-affiliation. Data suggest a particular case of our general growth law, leading to clear predictions about possible future trends in society.

The immediate need for access to research across the globe for those working on the Coronavirus demonstrates the true value and impact of Open Science to help solve global problems such as COVID-19. This crisis has undoubtedly shone a light on just how critical the implications of Open Science can be to society. Unfortunately, the truth remains that many of the world’s researchers only have access to a fraction of the information and knowledge that should be available to them. This presentation opened the 4th Scientific Session: Panel Discussion: Open Science in COVID Times during the Open Innovation in Life Sciences 2021 conference (#OILS2021)
Characterization of ionic polymers : towards applications as soft sensors in medicine
Creators: name: Dobashi, Yuta
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: A phenomenon termed the piezoionic effect is described and characterized in various ionic polymers including polymer networks containing aqueous electrolytes (hydrogels) and organic electrolytes. Initial observations suggest that when an ion containing polymer is compressed, a concentration gradient is induced by the pressure differential, leading to an electrical potential difference detectable at electrodes placed at compressed and uncompressed portions of the polymer. The work focuses on the fundamental characterization of the nature of the piezoionic transduction to probe the effects of relative mobilities of the ions present in the system. The effective ion radii due to ion-solvent interactions and electrostatic ion-polymer interactions have been investigated for their contribution in dictating the piezoionic behavior by NMR measurements of the self-diffusion coefficients. The results are qualitatively correlated to the voltage response to mechanical compression of the polymer samples. Following the experiments, a numerical model is developed which incorporates a number of contributing events believed to be taking place in a concerted manner to cause the piezoionic effect. The deformation induced solvent flow is modeled by means of Biot’s constitutive equations on poroelasticity, a combination of thermodynamic equilibrium and Darcy’s law. The Darcy’s flow induced is then used as the input to model transport of dilute species. Here, the convective factor is being continuously modulated by Darcy’s flow, while Fickian diffusion concurrently takes place. The ionic species experience different displacements due to Stokes' drag experienced by the solvation spheres of the ionic species and solvent molecules and the electrostatic interactions between the charged polymer chains and the mobile ions. Furthermore, this non-homogeneous ionic charge distribution yields a voltage distribution via the Poisson’s equation. This voltage distribution is used to account for the migration of ionic species. The following chapter is dedicated to a novel electrochemical method and modelling approach designed to probe various ionic polymers, some electronically conductive and others interpenetrated, to determine the phase-wise contributions to ionic conductivities. Finally, potential applications of the piezoionic polymers as soft sensors in medicine, particularly in unobtrusive and longitudinal monitoring of physical parameters, are discussed and some preliminary prototypes are introduced and ultimate feasibility is assessed.

The objective of this work was to carry out a comparative evaluation of despeckle filtering on ultrasound images of the carotid artery, and develop a new segmentation system, for detecting the IMT of the common carotid artery and the borders of the athrerosclerotic carotid plaque in longitudinal ultrasound images of the carotid artery. To the best of our knowledge no similar system has been developed for segmenting the atherosclerotic carotid plaque, although a number of techniques have been proposed for IMT segmentation. A total of 11 despeckle filtering methods were evaluated based on texture analysis, image quality evaluation metrics, and visual evaluation made by two experts, on 440 ultrasound images of the carotid artery bifurcation. Furthermore, the proposed IMT and plaque segmentation techniques were evaluated on 100 and 80 longitudinal ultrasound images of the carotid bifurcation respectively based on receiver operating chatracteristic (ROC) analysis. The despeckle filtering results showed that a despeckle filter based on local statistics (lsmv) improved the class separation between asymptomatic and symptomatic classes, gave only a marginal improvement in the percentage of correct classifications success rate, and improved the visual assessment carried out by the experts. It was also found that the lsmv despeckle filter can be used for despeckling asymptomatic images where the expert is interested mainly in the plaque composition and texture analysis, whereas a geometric despeckle filter (gf4d) can be used for despeckling of symptomatic images where the expert is interested in identifying the degree of stenosis and the plaque borders. The IMT snakes segmentation results showed that no significant difference was found between the manual and the snakes segmentation measurements. Better segmentation results were obtained for the normalized despeckled images. The plaque segmentation results showed that, the Lai&Chin snakes segmentation method gives results comparable to the manual delineation procedure. The IMT and plaque snakes segmentation method may be therefore used to complement and assist the final expert’s evaluation. The proposed despeckling and segmentation methods will be further evaluated on a larger number of ultrasound images and on multiple experts’ evaluation. Furthermore, it is expected that both methods will be incorporated into an integrated system enabling the texture analysis of the segmented plaque, providing an automated system for the early diagnosis and the assessment of the risk of stroke

description: A twisted generalized Weyl algebra A of degree n depends on a base algebra R, n commuting automorphisms s_i of R, n central elements t_i of R and on some additional scalar parameters. In a paper by V.Mazorchuk and L.Turowska (1999) it is claimed that certain consistency conditions for s_i and t_i are sufficient for the algebra to be nontrivial. However, in this paper we give an example which shows that this is false. We also correct the statement by finding a new set of consistency conditions and prove that the old and new conditions together are necessary and sufficient for the base algebra R to map injectively into A. In particular they are sufficient for the algebra A to be nontrivial. We speculate that these consistency relations may play a role in other areas of mathematics, analogous to the role played by the Yang-Baxter equation in the theory of integrable systems.

The most metal-poor damped Lyman-alpha systems: Insights into chemical evolution in the very metal-poor regime

description: We present a high spectral resolution survey of the most metal-poor damped Lyman-alpha absorption systems (DLAs) aimed at probing the nature and nucleosynthesis of the earliest generations of stars. Our survey comprises 22 systems with iron abundance less than 1/100 solar; observations of seven of these are reported here for the first time. Together with recent measures of the abundances of C and O in Galactic metal-poor stars, we reinvestigate the trend of C/O in the very metal-poor regime and we compare, for the first time, the O/Fe ratios in the most metal-poor DLAs and in halo stars. We confirm the near-solar values of C/O in DLAs at the lowest metallicities probed, and find that their distribution is in agreement with that seen in Galactic halo stars. We find that the O/Fe ratio in very metal-poor (VMP) DLAs is essentially constant, and shows very little dispersion, with a mean [] = +0.39 +/- 0.12, in good agreement with the values measured in Galactic halo stars when the oxygen abundance is measured from the [O I] 6300 line. We speculate that such good agreement in the observed abundance trends points to a universal origin for these metals. In view of this agreement, we construct the abundance pattern for a typical very metal-poor DLA and compare it to model calculations of Population II and Population III nucleosynthesis to determine the origin of the metals in VMP DLAs. Our results suggest that the most metal-poor DLAs may have been enriched by a generation of metal-free stars; however, given that abundance measurements are currently available for only a few elements, we cannot yet rule out an additional contribution from Population II stars.

description: This report presents an archaeological survey and assessment of the proposed Highline Canal Corridor Beautification Project. The project is located just north of a significant archaeological site, AZ U:9:35(PG). This site contains a Pioneer period Hohokam occupation in an unusual geographic location. An archaeological survey of the project, an area 1200 m in length and 25 m in width, revealed no surface indications of buried archaeological resources. No further archaeological investigations are recommended. This file includes related correspondence.
Writing the Disaster: Disruptions of Reason, Religion, and Rhetoric
Creators: name: Sloey, Courtney
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The resurgent question ever-present in the wake of extreme pain, suffering, and inexplicability is “Why?” This question fuels philosophical, scientific, theological, and historical investigation, and the response to this question drives the research of this dissertation. The compulsion towards the question “why” reveals a presumptive necessity for answers, and the ontological burden placed on those answers to ameliorate suffering. Often, the answer to the why is too burdensome, and also, altogether illusory. In this project, “Disaster” is the term given to the inexplicable, extreme event of suffering which disrupts and confuse the strategic path of understanding and also provides a complex rhetorical situation, rich for investigation. The main objective of this dissertation will be to explore responses to pain and suffering and look into how the fields of religion, philosophy and rhetoric and writing the impossible task of “answering” in the midst of those experiences. One of the reasons the project is so fraught is because of the impossibility of answering the most traumatic experiences of pain and suffering. Language, understanding, and rationality at times do not suffice, and so these experiences leave us with only more confusion, questions, and uncertainty. I will be pursuing answers to these questions through a study of theodicy, philosophy post–Holocaust, writing in the disaster, and Expressive Writing pedagogy.

description: We report the first determination of the binary period and orbital ephemeris of the Be X-ray binary containing the pulsar 1A 1118-616 (35 years after the discovery of the source). The orbital period is found to be Porb = 24.0 +/- 0.4 days. The source was observed by RXTE during its last large X-ray outburst in January 2009, which peaked at MJD 54845.4, by taking short observations every few days, covering an elapsed time comparable to the orbital period. Using the phase connection technique, pulse arrival time delays could be measured and an orbital solution determined. The data are consistent with a circular orbit, and the time of 90 degrees longitude was found to be T90 = MJD 54845.37(10), which is coincident with that of the peak X-ray flux.
