description: Femtosecond time-resolved x-ray diffraction is employed to study the dynamics of the periodic lattice distortion (PLD) associated with the charge-density-wave (CDW) in K0.3MoO3. Using a multi-pulse scheme we show the ability to extend the lifetime of coherent oscillations of the PLD about the undistorted structure through re-excitation of the electronic states. This suggests that it is possible to enter a regime where the symmetry of the potential energy landscape corresponds to the high symmetry phase but the scattering pathways that lead to the damping of coherent dynamics are still controllable by altering the electronic state population. The demonstrated control over the coherence time offers new routes for manipulation of coherent lattice states.

description: Objective: Some Veterans who recently served in the military report significant psychological problems based on their experiences in the military. Stressors that these Veterans face when they transition out of the military can exacerbate these problems and negatively impact their long-term physical and psychological well-being. We are conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy of providing Veterans who are transitioning back into their civilian communities trained, peer mentorship (Pro Vetus) and membership in a Veteran Support Organization (VSO- Team Red, White, and Blue) to reduce transition stressors, maintain psychological and physical health, reduce suicides and reduce criminal incidents.
      Method: Six hundred, New York City area Veterans who transitioned out of the military since 2002 will be randomized to one of three study arms (1. Team Red, White and Blue membership plus trained, peer Pro Vetus mentorship; 2. Team Red, White, and Blue membership; and 3. Waitlist control). Intent-to-treat analysis will compare changes in transition stressors (proximal measures) as well as psychological and physical health, suicide, and criminal incidents (distal measures). For this preliminary investigation of the full RCT, the results of 58 Veterans who completed the pre-intervention and post-intervention were analyzed. For the analysis, the first and second study arms were combined into one intervention arm because of the unbalanced nature of the arms.
      Results: The preliminary results indicate that Veterans in the combined intervention arm experienced less transition difficulties and had higher levels of social support at the four month post-intervention assessment. Though promising, there are still extensive limitations to the inferences that can be drawn from this research. These limitations will be reduced as data points increase and more Veterans participate in the research study.

description: Data sets are growing in complexity thanks to the increasing facilities we have nowadays to both generate and store data. This poses many challenges to machine learning that are leading to the proposal of new methods and paradigms, in order to be able to deal with what is nowadays referred to as Big Data. In this paper we propose a method for the aggregation of different Bayesian network structures that have been learned from separate data sets, as a first step towards mining data sets that need to be partitioned in an horizontal way, i.e. with respect to the instances, in order to be processed. Considerations that should be taken into account when dealing with this situation are discussed. Scalable learning of Bayesian networks is slowly emerging, and our method constitutes one of the first insights into Gaussian Bayesian network aggregation from different sources. Tested on synthetic data it obtains good results that surpass those from individual learning. Future research will be focused on expanding the method and testing more diverse data sets.

description: We investigate the evolutionary properties of AM~CVn stars with massive white dwarf donors and accretors. As a representative of them we consider a binary initially composed by a 0.30 M$_\odot$, He WD and a 1.02 M$_\odot$, CO WD. We evaluate the time-dependent mass transfer rate from the donor and compute the evolution of the accretor, accounting for the effects of mass exchange on the evolution of orbital parameters. We model the thermal response of the accreting CO WD with the FUN evolutionary code coupled to a full nuclear network, from H to Bi, including more than 700 isotopes linked by about 1000 nuclear processes. We find that accretors in these systems evolve through the stages of steady He-burning and mild and strong He-flashes and become at the end CO WDs capped by a massive ($\sim 0.1$ M$_\odot$) He-rich buffer. During He-flashes (both mild and strong) the temperature in the He-shell increases above $3\times 10^8$ K, so that the ${^{22}Ne}(α,n){^{25}Mg}$ reaction becomes efficient and $n$-rich isotopes can be produced. During the RLOF episodes triggered by strong non-dynamical He-flashes matter enriched in $α$-elements and $n$-rich isotopes is ejected, polluting the interstellar medium. Our results strongly suggest that massive AM CVn systems with WD donors do not experience a final very strong dynamical He-flash driving an explosive event like SN .Ia. Though the ejected matter is highly enriched in heavy isotopes, the relative contribution of massive AM CVn systems to the Galactic chemical evolution is, most probably, negligible due to their expected paucity.

description: Comets are large objects primarily made up of dust and gas that orbit around the Sun. Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is known for having massive outbursts, which is when a comet becomes drastically brighter. The outbursts can be unpredictable in cause and duration. There are many theories as to why these outbursts happen, but we don’t always know the causes. Through this semester, we studied the mass of the outbursts and the lightcurve of this comet to learn information about the causes of these outbursts. We started with plotting the magnitude of the comet versus the distance of the comet from the Sun. We did this to calculate the scale of the outbursts and other information as well. We found that the data, which was in three different filters, didn't line up. We created a loop using python code that found the offset values in each filter and corrected them. With this information we can learn about the scale of these outbursts as well as do some calculations to figure out how massive these outbursts are. Our next few steps involved a multitude of calculations to find the mass of an outburst on any given day. Through aperture photometry, an astronomical imaging technique, we found the brightness of outbursts on nights of outbursts. We used these numbers to calculate the differential size distribution of the comet, the number of dust grains in the comet’s outbursts, the cross sectional area of the comet, and finally to calculate the mass of the outbursts. The mass of the outburst on July 21st 2023 was found to be 5.18*109 kg. We also compared this qualitatively to other masses to get an idea for just how big this was.

A redesign of the waste and sorting room at the Marine Drive residence has been proposed as a pilot project. The improved room design includes a recycling pathway with an improved layout, the addition of audio and visual prompts and improved signage. By implementing the recycling pathway at residence buildings on campus, the University of British Columbia will be one step closer to achieving their goal of diverting 70% of their waste by 2016.

description: Caputo-Fabrizio fractional delta derivatives on an arbitrary time scale are presented. When the time scale is chosen to be the set of real numbers, then the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative is recovered. For isolated or partly continuous and partly discrete, i.e., hybrid time scales, one gets new fractional operators. We concentrate on the behavior of solutions to initial value problems with the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional delta derivative on an arbitrary time scale. In particular, the exponential stability of linear systems is studied. A necessary and sufficient condition for the exponential stability of linear systems with the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional delta derivative on time scales is presented. By considering a suitable fractional dynamic equation and the Laplace transform on time scales, we also propose a proper definition of Caputo-Fabrizio fractional integral on time scales. Finally, by using the Banach fixed point theorem, we prove existence and uniqueness of solution to a nonlinear initial value problem with the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional delta derivative on time scales.

Steps towards Lorentzian quantum gravity with causal sets
Creators: name: Eichhorn, Astrid
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Causal set quantum gravity is a Lorentzian approach to quantum gravity, based on the causal structure of spacetime. It models each spacetime configuration as a discrete causal network of spacetime points. As such, key questions of the approach include whether and how a reconstruction of a sufficiently coarse-grained spacetime geometry is possible from a causal set. As an example for the recovery of spatial geometry from discrete causal structure, the construction of a spatial distance function for causal sets is reviewed. Secondly, it is an open question whether the path sum over all causal sets gives rise to an expectation value for the causal set that corresponds to a cosmologically viable spacetime. To provide a tool to tackle the path sum over causal sets, the derivation of a flow equation for the effective action for causal sets in matrix-model language is reviewed. This could provide a way to coarse-grain discrete networks in a background-independent way. Finally, a short roadmap to test the asymptotic-safety conjecture in Lorentzian quantum gravity using causal sets is sketched.

Training Decision Trees for Optimal Decision-Making

subject: Decision trees

description: Many analytics problems in Operations Research and the Management Sciences can be framed as decision-making problems containing uncertain input parameters to be estimated from data. For example, inventory optimization problems often require forecasts of future demand, and product recommendation systems (e.g., movies, sporting goods) depend on models for predicting customer responses to the feasible recommendations. Therefore, a question central to many analytics problems is how to optimally build models from data which estimate the uncertain inputs for the decision problems of interest. We argue that most common approaches for this task either (a) focus on the wrong objectives in training the models for the decision problem, or (b) focus on the right objectives but only study how to do so with prohibitively simple machine learning models (e.g. linear and logistic regression). In this work, we study how to train decision tree models for predicting uncertain parameters for analytical decision-making problems. Unlike other machine learning models such as linear and logistic regression, decision trees are both nonparameteric and interpretable, allowing them the capability of modeling highly complex relationships between data and predictions while also being easily visualized and interpreted. We propose tractable algorithms for decision tree training in the context of three problem domains relevant to Operations Research. First, we study how to train decision trees for delivering real-time personalized recommendations of products in settings where little prior data is available for training purposes. This problem is known in the literature as the contextual bandit problem and requires careful navigation of the so-called "exploration-exploitation trade-off" in utilizing the decision tree models. Second, we propose a new framework which we call Market Segmentation Trees (MSTs) for training decision tree models for the purposes of market segmentation and personalization. We explore several applications of MSTs relevant to personalized advertising, including recommending hotels to Expedia users as a function of their search queries and segmenting ad auctions according to the distribution of bids that they receive. Finally, we propose a general framework for training decision tree models for uncertain optimization problems which we call "SPO Trees" (SPOTs). In contrast to the typical objective of maximizing predictive accuracy, the SPOT framework trains decision trees to maximize the quality of the solutions found in the uncertain optimization problem, therefore yielding better decisions in several analytics problems of interest.

Popular music--Social aspects

description: This dissertation shows how gay, trans and queer performers in Brazil, Portugal, and Angola, working in traditionally misogynistic, homo- and transphobic popular music genres, have successfully claimed and refigured those genres and repertoires through iterations of transgender voices and bodies. I show how Pabllo Vittar, Fado Bicha and Titica refigure normative gendered conventions of sex and song through trans formations of popular music genres. I locate them within a genealogy of queer Luso-Afro-Brazilian popular music practices and performances that deploy trans formations of voice, body, and repertoire. I trace a genealogy of transgender voice in Brazilian popular music to Ney Matogrosso’s 1975 debut release, through which I reveal a cacophony of queer, indigenous and Afro-Brazilian intersections; and in Portuguese popular music to António Variações 1982 debut, through whom I trace a fado genealogy of Afro-diasporic cultural practices, gender transgression and sexual deviance. Finally, I locate Titica’s music in practices of the black queer diaspora as a refiguring of Angolan postcolonial aesthetics. Together, these artists and their music offer a queer Luso-Afro-Brazilian diaspora in spectacular popular music formations that transit beside and beyond the Portuguese-speaking world, unbound by it, and refiguring hegemonic Luso-Afro-Brazilian discourses of gender, sexuality, race and nation.

description: We show that a large class of two-field models of single-bubble open inflation do not lead to infinite open universes, as it was previously thought, but to an ensemble of very large but finite inflating `islands'. The reason is that the quantum tunneling responsible for the nucleation of the bubble does not occur simultaneously along both field directions and equal-time hypersurfaces in the open universe are not synchronized with equal-density or fixed-field hypersurfaces. The most probable tunneling trajectory corresponds to a zero value of the inflaton field; large values, necessary for the second period of inflation inside the bubble, only arise as localized fluctuations. The interior of each nucleated bubble will contain an infinite number of such inflating regions of comoving size of order $γ^{-1}$, where $γ$ depends on the parameters of the model. Each one of these islands will be a quasi-open universe. Since the volume of the hyperboloid is infinite, inflating islands with all possible values of the field at their center will be realized inside of a single bubble. We may happen to live in one of those patches of comoving size $d\lesssim γ^{-1}$, where the universe appears to be open. In particular, we consider the ``supernatural'' model proposed by Linde and Mezhlumian. There, an approximate U(1) symmetry is broken by a tunneling field in a first order phase transition, and slow-roll inflation inside the nucleated bubble is driven by the pseudo-Goldstone field. We find that the excitations of the pseudo-Goldstone produced by the nucleation and subsequent expansion of the bubble place severe constraints on this model. We also discuss the coupled and uncoupled two-field models.

description: The great demand for real-time multimedia sessions encompassing groups of users (multi-user), associated with the limitations of the current Internet in providing quality assurance, has raised challenges for defining the best mechanisms to deploy the Next Generation of Networks (NGN). There is a consensus that an efficient and scalable provisioning of network resources is crucial for the success of the NGN, mainly in what concerns access networks. Previous solutions for the control of multi-user sessions rely mostly on uncoordinated actions to allocate per-flow bandwidth and multicast trees. This paper introduces a Multiuser Aggregated Resource Allocation mechanism (MARA) that coordinates the control of class-based bandwidth and multicast resources in a scalable manner. In comparison with previous work, MARA significantly reduces signaling, state and processing overhead. The performance benefits of MARA are analyzed though simulations, which successfully demonstrated the significant optimization in the network performance.

 Abstract: Availability of large databases of chemical structures along with experimental data provides a great opportunity to build predictive and robust QSAR/QSPR models for application in various fields. The most common concern while using these databases is the quality of the chemical structures and associated biological data. It is very important to deal with correct chemical structure since incorrect structure will lead to the errors in calculation of molecular descriptors. Incorrect biological data will ultimately lead to meaningless results. This seminar will discuss experiences while curating these bioactivity databases with focus towards ADMET properties in drug discovery. Various sources of these errors and measures to find and correct these errors will be discussed.

description: Maxwell electromagnetism, describing the wave properties of light, was formulated 150 years ago. More than 60 years ago it was shown that interfaces between optical media (including dielectrics, metals, negative-index materials) can support surface electromagnetic waves, which now play crucial roles in plasmonics, metamaterials, and nano-photonics. Here we show that surface Maxwell waves at interfaces between homogeneous, isotropic media described by real permittivities and permeabilities have a purely topological origin explained by the bulk-boundary correspondence. Importantly, the topological classification is determined by the helicity operator, which is generically non-Hermitian even in lossless optical media. The corresponding topological invariant, which determines the number of surface modes, is a Z4 number (or a pair of Z2 numbers) describing the winding of the complex helicity spectrum across the interface. Moreover, there is an additional pair of non-topological Z2 indices, which describe zones of the TE and TM polarizations at the phase diagram of surface modes. Our theory provides a new twist and insights for several areas of wave physics: Maxwell electromagnetism, topological quantum states, non-Hermitian wave physics, and metamaterials.

description: Earth’s climate can exist in many stable states that are vastly different from the modern climate state. Understanding modern and future climate requires a thorough understanding of the full range of possible climate states and the processes that trigger transitions between states. Quantitative reconstructions of past climate variables provide constrains on the magnitude, mechanisms and feedbacks involved in producing stable climate states. As such, they provide insights into past climate states unobservable today.
      This thesis focuses on quantifying three metrics of past climate systems: (a) quantitative rainfall amount, which provides means for assessing how the spatial distribution of rainfall changed in the past, (b) the isotopic composition of past rainwater (δP ), which provides means for understand- ing how atmospheric circulation changed in the past, and (c) relative humidity, which provides estimates of evaporative processes and hydrospheric fluxes.
      The regions studied are in the two far reaches of the Asian continent. In eastern Asia, changes in rainfall amount and δP over the past 125 ka were studied using geomorphological evidence from a closed basin lake in Inner Mongolia, China and compound-specific δDwax and δ13Cwax from organic molecules in lake sediments. In western Asia, the research focused on processes that govern modern δP and modern δDwax and δ13Cwax in soils. In addition the hydrological regime of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Levant during the Last Glacial Maximum were studied using evidence from speleothem δ18Oc and foraminifera δ18O.
      These records provide empirical and quantitative information about rainfall amount, δP and relative humidity at singular locations, and as such provide the building blocks for producing coherent large-scale reconstruction of the migration of rain-belts in the past.

description: This thesis and exhibition are a tribute to the fragility and beauty of coral and to raise awareness of the impact reefs have on human life and marine ecosystems. The ceramic installation “The Final Reef” translates scientific research on living coral, coral bleaching, and marine degradation, into a tactile, visual language. The work explores the tension between beauty and loss, rendering coral forms in their living vibrancy and alternatively, when they are bleak and bleached. Assembled to function symbiotically within the exhibition space, the sculptures highlight the interconnectedness of reef systems while expressing their critical endangerment. Through sculpture and hand building with clay, this installation encapsulates and preserves the delicate essence of coral reefs, capturing their forms in both living and bleached states.

description: For granular materials falling through a circular exit at the bottom of a silo, no continuous flow can be sustained when the diameter D of the exit is less than 5 times the characteristic size of the grains. If the bottom of the silo rotates horizontally with respect to the wall of the silo, finite flow rate can be sustained even at small D. We investigate the effect of bottom rotation to the flow rate of a cylindrical silo filled with mono-disperse plastic beads of d = 6 mm diameter. We find that the flow rate W follows Beverloo Law down to D = 1.2d and that W increases with the rotation rate ω in the small exit regime. If the exit is at an off-center distance R from the axis of the silo, W increases with rate of area swept by the exit. On the other hand, when the exit diameter is large, W decreases with rotation speed at small ω but increases with ω at large ω. Such non-monotonic behavior of W on rotation speed may be explained as a gradual change from funnel flow to mass flow due to the shear at the bottom of the silo

description: Amhr2-Cre mice had formerly been used to generate Leydig cell-specific Tspo conditional knock-out (cKO) mice. However, using the same Cre mouse line as we reported previously, it was unable to generate Tspo cKO mice, possibly due to genetic linkage between Tspo and Amhr2 and the fact that Amhr2-Cre is expressed at two-cell to blastocyst stages of preimplantation development, whereas Tspo is also expressed at the blastocyst stage. To elucidate the reasons why Amhr2-Cre-mediated Tspo cKO produced such a different result in our hands, we produced Amhr2-Cre-mediated Tspo global knock-out (gKO, Tspo-/-) mice by crossing two global heterozygous mice (Amhr2-Cre+/- , Tspo-/+), followed by tail genotyping, which was further confirmed by immunofluorescence staining of testis, adrenal gland, brain, and liver tissues. We also found that 33.3% of blastocysts at E3.5-4.5 showed normal morphology, whereas 66.7% of blastocysts showed delayed development, which correlates well with expected Mendelian proportions of Tspo+/+ (25%), Tspo-/- (25%), and Tspo+/- (50%) genotypes from crossing two Tspo-/+ mice. However, only small number of early embryos from E3.5 to E4.5 (8.3%) with Tspo-/- and Tspo+/- genotypes were normal. The Tspo gKO mice exhibited disturbances in neutral lipid homeostasis and reduced circulating testosterone levels, but no change in circulating basal corticosterone levels. Re-analysis of RNA-sequencing data from mouse adrenal glands and lungs revealed evidence of transcriptome changes in response to the loss of TSPO, including changes in several cholesterol-binding and transfer proteins (e.g., apolipoprotein O, members of the Slc25a family). This study demonstrates that Amhr2-Cre can be used to produce Tspo gKO mice, instead of cKO, and can serve as a new global “Cre deleter”. Moreover, our results show that Tspo deletion causes delayed pre-implantation embryonic development, alters adult neutral lipid storage, and leads to transcriptome changes that may reflect compensatory mechanisms in response to the loss-of-function of TSPO.
Ordinal Utility Models Of Decision Making Under Uncertainty

description: This paper studies two models of rational behavior under uncertainty whose predictions are invariant under ordinal transformations of utility. The 'quantile utility' model assumes that the agent maximizes some quantile of the distribution of utility. The 'utility mass' model assumes maximization of the probability of obtaining an outcome whose utility is higher than some fixed critical value. Both models satisfy weak stochastic dominance. Lexicographic refinements satisfy strong dominance. The study of these ordinal utility models suggests a significant generalization of traditional ideas of riskiness and risk preference. We define one action to be riskier than another if the utility distribution of the latter crosses that of the former from below. The single crossing property is equivalent to a 'minmax spread' of a random variable. With relative risk defined by the single crossing criterion, the risk preference of a quantile utility maximizer increases with the utility distribution quantile that he maximizes. The risk preference of a utility mass maximizer increases with his critical utility value.

Trans-Acting Factors Affecting Retroviral Recoding

description: The production of retroviral enzymes requires a translational recoding event which subverts normal decoding, either by direct suppression of termination with the insertion of an amino acid at a stop codon (readthrough), or by an alteration of the reading frame of the mRNA (frameshift). It has been determined that retroviral readthrough and frameshift require cis-acting factors in the mRNA to stimulate recoding on the eukaryotic ribosome. Here we investigate the affects of trans acting factors on recoding, primarily in the context of the MoMLV gag-pol junction. We report the effects of a host protein, Large Ribosomal Protein Four (RPL4), on the efficiency of recoding. Using a dual luciferase reporter assay, we show that transfection of cells with an RPL4 cDNA expression construct enhances recoding efficiency in a dose-dependent manner. The increase in the frequency of recoding can be more than 2-fold, adequate to disrupt normal viral production. This effect is cell line specific, and appears to be distinct to RPL4 among ribosomal proteins. The RPL4 increase occurs with both retroviral readthrough and frameshift sequences, and even at other viral readthrough regions that do not involve RNA secondary structures. We show that RPL4 effects are negated by release factor over-expression, and that RPL4 will increase readthrough above the levels of a hyperactive mutant and in addition to G418. When cotransfected with Moloney murine leukemia provirus, the RPL4-mediated increase in readthrough reduces the amount of virus released. We also examined the effects of aminoglycoside drugs and the small molecule PTC124 on readthrough of the MoMLV gag-pol junction. We show that G418, paromomycin and PTC124 increase readthrough of our MoMLV reporter in a dose dependent manner in 293A cells. These drugs reduce viral replication, as measured by a recombinant transducing virus assay. We further examine G418 and paromomycin in an in-vitro system; readthrough is increased to higher levels than those seen in vivo. G418 displays deleterious effects on cell viability and overall translation. Paromomycin does not appear as toxic, suggesting differences in interactions by which these drugs enhance readthrough.

Reputational Constraints On Monetary Policy

description: Recent advances in game theory have made it possible to study monetary policy credibility in a more structured fashion. Some have used these new models to argue that there is less need to place legal restraints on monetary policy than was previously believed; reputational considerations discourage the monetary authorities from attempting surprise inflations. In this study, I critically assess a number of alternative models of monetary policy reputation, including some variants which have not been examined previously. The bulk of the paper is concerned with comparing specific details of these models. One general conclusion is that although the first generation of models of monetary policy reputation yield a significant number of important insights, it is premature to argue that time consistency is not a major issue in the design of monetary policy institutions. The main problem is that the models either yield a multiplicity of equilibria, or/and yield conclusions which are very sensitive to apparently minor changes in the information structure. Whereas an optimal reputational equilibrium can be achieved without any explicit cooperation among atomistic private agents, it is not (yet) clear how they coordinate on expectations strategies.

description: We investigate dynamical instability of a two-dimensional quantum black hole model considered by Lowe in his study of Hawking evaporation. The model is supposed to express a black hole in equilibrium with a bath of Hawking radiation. It turns out that the model has at least one instability modes for a wide range of parameters, and thus it is unstable.
