Dark matter in the form of axion quark nuggets : formation, detections, and evidence
Creators: name: Liang, Xunyu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Over two decades of development since its establishment, the axion quark nugget (AQN) model is one of the best-studied macroscopic dark matter (DM) candidates, with a mass of grams and a size of around 0.1 micrometres. It naturally explains the observed similarity between the dark and visible densities in the Universe, i.e. Ωᴅᴍ~Ω𝚟i𝚜, with no fitting parameters, while many conventional DM candidates such as the weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) and axions do not. This dissertation presents numerous key developments of the AQN model, including the formation mechanism for AQNs in the early Universe and new search strategies such as axion detection and a global network of synchronized detectors. Lastly, we discuss potential evidence of AQNs from the anomalous events recently observed by the Telescope Array (TA) and ANtarctic Impulse Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiments.

description: Die Online-Direct-to-Consumer (D2C)-Strategie, welche durch den direkten Kontakt mit Konsument:innen auf die Schaffung von Markenerlebnissen abzielt, gewann in den letzten Jahren zwar zunehmend an Bedeutung, wird jedoch in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur kaum behandelt. Ziel dieser Thesis ist es daher, zu untersuchen, wie Markenerlebnisse durch Online-D2C-Strategien von Modemarken (mit-)geschaffen werden und in welchen Ausprägungen diese von Konsument:innen erlebt werden. Auf Basis des theoretischen Hintergrunds, wurden in einer qualitativen Forschung Interviews durchgeführt und die Ergebnisse in einem erweiterten Modell dargestellt. Markenerlebnisse werden auf der Kultur- & Marktebene, kollektiven sowie individuellen Ebene geschaffen und von verschiedenen Aspekten beeinflusst, wobei Markenstimuli im Hinblick auf eine Online-D2C-Strategie eine besonders wichtige Rolle spielen. Die Reaktionen der Konsument:innen werden als sensorisch, affektiv, intellektuell, verhaltens- und beziehungsbezogen identifiziert, wobei jede Dimension spezifische Komponenten aufweist. Eine systematische Betrachtung aller Ebenen und ein tiefgreifendes Verständnis der Dimensionen erweist sich als notwendige Implikation für Modemarken.
description: The online direct-to-consumer (D2C) strategy, which aims to create an extensive brand experience through direct contact with consumers, has become increasingly widespread in recent years. However, this strategy presents a notable research gap in academic literature. As such, the purpose of this thesis is to investigate how a brand experience is (co-)created via an online D2C strategy used by fashion brands and how it is manifested by consumers. Based on a literature review, consumer interviews are used to create a qualitative research approach, which results in the development of a model that extends previous research. This method reveals that brand experience is co-created at three levels (culture & market, collective, individual) which are influenced by different factors, with brand stimuli being particularly important in terms of an online D2C strategy. Furthermore, consumer responses are identified assensory, affective, intellectual, behavioural, and relational, with each dimension having specific components. A systematic consideration of all levels and a profound understanding of the dimensions is shown to be a necessary managerial implication.

description: Psychologische Online-Beratung hat großes Potenzial, bietet zahlreiche Vorteile und wird als vielversprechendes Angebot der digitalen Gesundheitsversorgung gesehen. Dennoch sind die Nutzungszahlen bisher gering. Studien, welche Einflussfaktoren der Nutzungsabsicht aus Marketingsicht beleuchten, sind kaum vorhanden. An diesem Punkt setzt diese Arbeit an und untersucht den Einfluss von elektronischem Word-of-Mouth auf die Nutzungsabsicht psychologischer Online-Beratung. Dazu wird das erweiterte Information Adoption Model eingesetzt, dass die wahrgenommene Nützlichkeit und die Informationsannahme als Einflussfaktoren der Nutzungsabsicht untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die wahrgenommene Nützlichkeit und die Informationsannahme von elektronischem Word-of-Mouth die Nutzungsabsicht psychologischer Online-Beratung signifikant beeinflussen. Die Erkenntnisse tragen somit zur Schließung der Forschungslücke bei und bieten wertvolle Hinweise für Anbietende psychologischer Online-Beratung, um elektronisches Word-of-Mouth zu forcieren und gezielt einzusetzen, um die Nutzungsabsicht potenzieller Kund*innen zu erhöhen.

description: For a given quantum state $ρ$ and two quantum operations $Φ$ and $Ψ$, the information encoded in the quantum state $ρ$ is quantified by its von Neumann entropy $§(ρ)$. By the famous Choi-Jamiołkowski isomorphism, the quantum operation $Φ$ can be transformed into a bipartite state, the von Neumann entropy $§^{\mathrm{map}}(Φ)$ of the bipartite state describes the decoherence induced by $Φ$. In this Letter, we characterize not only the pairs $(Φ, ρ)$ which satisfy $§(Φ(ρ))=§(ρ)$, but also the pairs $(Φ, Ψ)$ which satisfy $§^{\mathrm{map}}(Φ\circΨ) = §^{\mathrm{map}}(Ψ)$.

description: We investigate the 16-band d-p model for iron pnictide superconductors in the presence of the electron-phonon coupling g with the orthorhombic mode which is crucial for reproducing the recently observed ultrasonic softening. Within the RPA, we obtain the ferro-orbital order below TQ which induces the tetragonal-orthorhombic structural transition at Ts = TQ, together with the stripe-type antiferromagnetic order below TN. Near the phase transitions, the system shows the s++ wave superconductivity due to the orbital fluctuation for a large g case with TQ > TN, while the s+- wave due to the magnetic fluctuation for a small g case with TQ < TN. The former case is consistent with the phase diagram of doped iron pnictides with Ts > TN.

description: Das Content-Format Video gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung. Gerade auf Social Media und speziell auf Instagram und TikTok setzt sich der Trend von statischen Inhalten hin zu Bewegtbildern weiter fort. Firmen nutzen vermehrt dieses Format, um Imagewerte an ihre Zielgruppe zu transportieren. Jedoch gibt es wenige Erkenntnisse darüber, inwieweit Videos das Markenimage beeinflussen können. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, Einflussfaktoren im Videocontent zu identifizieren, die sich positiv auf die Brand Awareness von B2C-Unternehmen auswirken. Zur Beantwortung dieser Forschungsfrage wurde eine multiple Case Study mit fünf verschiedenen Unternehmen durchgeführt. Dabei konnte herausgefunden werden, dass durch die Nutzung von Videocontent das Markenimage positiv beeinflusst werden kann. Marken sollen ihre Videos möglichst kreativ, individuell und zielgruppenspezifisch gestalten, um somit die gewünschten Markenwerte an die Zielgruppe zu transportieren. Dabei können aufkommende Trends und sogenannte „Corporate Influencer*innen“ in der Kommunikation genutzt werden. Weitere Forschungen könnten sich mit bestimmten Einflussfaktoren und Netzwerken tiefgehender beschäftigen.
description: The content format video is becoming increasingly important. The trend from static content to moving images is continuing on social media and especially on Instagram and TikTok. Companies are increasingly using this format to transport image values to their target group. However, there is limited research on the extent to which videos can influence brand image. The objective of this thesis is to identify influencing factors in video content that have a positive impact on the brand awareness of B2C companies. To answer this research question, a multiple case study was conducted with five different companies. The study showed that the use of video content can positively influence the brand image. Brands should make their videos as creative, individual and target group specific as possible to convey the desired brand values to the target group. It is advisable to use emerging trends and so-called "corporate influencers" in communication. Further research could look more deeply into individual influencing factors and networks.
Charged-particle multiplicity measurement in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 0.9 and 2.36 TeV with ALICE at LHC

description: Charged-particle production was studied in proton-proton collisions collected at the LHC with the ALICE detector at centre-of-mass energies 0.9 TeV and 2.36 TeV in the pseudorapidity range |$η$| < 1.4. In the central region (|$η$| < 0.5), at 0.9 TeV, we measure charged-particle pseudorapidity density dNch/deta = 3.02 $\pm$ 0.01 (stat.) $^{+0.08}_{-0.05}$ (syst.) for inelastic interactions, and dNch/deta = 3.58 $\pm$ 0.01 (stat.) $^{+0.12}_{-0.12}$ (syst.) for non-single-diffractive interactions. At 2.36 TeV, we find dNch/deta = 3.77 $\pm$ 0.01 (stat.) $^{+0.25}_{-0.12}$ (syst.) for inelastic, and dNch/deta = 4.43 $\pm$ 0.01 (stat.) $^{+0.17}_{-0.12}$ (syst.) for non-single-diffractive collisions. The relative increase in charged-particle multiplicity from the lower to higher energy is 24.7% $\pm$ 0.5% (stat.) $^{+5.7}_{-2.8}$% (syst.) for inelastic and 23.7% $\pm$ 0.5% (stat.) $^{+4.6}_{-1.1}$% (syst.) for non-single-diffractive interactions. This increase is consistent with that reported by the CMS collaboration for non-single-diffractive events and larger than that found by a number of commonly used models. The multiplicity distribution was measured in different pseudorapidity intervals and studied in terms of KNO variables at both energies. The results are compared to proton-antiproton data and to model predictions.

description: Motivated by the recent work of one of us [1], we generalize this work to the case where the pressureless dark matter and the holographic dark energy do not conserve separately but interact with each other. We investigate the cosmological applications of interacting holographic dark energy in Brans-Dicke theory with chameleon scalar field which is non-minimally coupled to the matter field. We find out that in this model the phantom crossing can be constructed if the model parameters are chosen suitably. We also perform the study for the new agegraphic dark energy model and calculate some relevant cosmological parameters and their evolution.

description: We argue that current neutron star observations exclude asymmetric bosonic non-interacting dark matter in the range from 2 keV to 16 GeV, including the 5-15 GeV range favored by DAMA and CoGeNT. If bosonic WIMPs are composite of fermions, the same limits apply provided the compositeness scale is higher than ~10^12 GeV (for WIMP mass ~1 GeV). In case of repulsive self-interactions, we exclude large range of WIMP masses and interaction cross sections which complements the constraints imposed by observations of the Bullet Cluster.

description: Mango kernel fat and rice bran oils are produced from the by-products of mango and rice. Using these two oils can be helpful in the food industry and for sustainable waste management. Cocoa butter is the main ingredient in chocolate. Due to its high demand and limited supply, people are looking for cocoa butter alternatives. This research aims to produce a cocoa butter alternative from mango kernel fat and rice bran oil and analyze its physicochemical properties. The final product can be used as a cocoa butter replacer for up to 20% replacement with cocoa butter in compound chocolate applications.

description: The transient stability (TS) of grid-forming inverters (GFMIs) during and subsequent to faults are focused. Firstly, an adaptive virtual resistor is proposed to mitigate post-fault oscillations of GFMIs. The study then concentrates on the TS of the synchronising loop of GFMIs, with the limited overcurrent capability of GFMI considered. It is then extended to investigating the TS of GFMI-GFLI systems. The study expands to radial multi-IBR networks. These studies provide insights into stability boundaries and instability mechanisms of GFMIs and their impacts on the connected network. Furthermore, several enhancing control solutions are proposed to improve the TS of GFMIs.

description: The pseudorapidity density and multiplicity distribution of charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV, were measured in the central pseudorapidity region |$η$| < 1. Comparisons are made with previous measurements at $\sqrt{s}$ = 0.9 TeV and 2.36 TeV. At $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV, for events with at least one charged particle in |$η$| < 1, we obtain dNch/deta = 6.01 $\pm$ 0.01 (stat.) $^{+0.20}_{-0.12}$ (syst.). This corresponds to an increase of 57.6% $\pm$ 0.4% (stat.) $^{+3.6}_{-1.8}$% (syst.) relative to collisions at 0.9 TeV, significantly higher than calculations from commonly used models. The multiplicity distribution at 7 TeV is described fairly well by the negative binomial distribution.

Modelling forest carbon dynamics in two physiographic regions of Nepal
Creators: name: Khatri Chhetri, Pramila
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle because of their large and dynamic carbon stocks. Improved understanding of the processes that affect the net ecosystem exchange of carbon are needed to conserve and enhance carbon stocks. In this dissertation, I addressed the impacts of forest disturbances on the forest carbon dynamics under a status quo scenario and a variety of managerial and policy assumptions in two physiographic regions of Nepal (Terai and Churia). I used a carbon dynamic modelling approach to: i) estimate the forest carbon stocks and changes; ii) assess the impacts of different forest management scenarios on forest carbon dynamics; and iii) examine the impact on carbon stocks and GHG emissions of different harvest rates and distributions of harvested wood products. I initially modelled the impact of forest disturbances on carbon stocks for 2010 to 2017 and then projected this forward to 2030 under a “business-as-usual” scenario. The carbon stocks were impacted more by human encroachment in Terai and by fire, landslides, and harvesting in Churia. However, the forest remained a carbon sink in both regions. I then explored the potential impact of management interventions on the carbon dynamics of forest of Terai region, where forests are experiencing the most population pressure. I used a multivariate imputation approach to provide a spatially explicit, wall-to-wall map of attributes to forecast alternative forest management scenarios. A scenario involving the highest investments and the lowest harvest level resulted in the most carbon sequestration and a scenario with higher disturbance levels reflecting the possible impacts of population pressure and climate change resulted in the least carbon sequestration. Lastly, I explored the combined impact of different harvest levels and harvested wood product mixtures (fuel wood vs. sawn wood products) in Terai on the overall carbon storage. Increasing the proportion of sawn wood products relative to fuel wood increased the carbon stock, allowing the possibility of higher harvest levels with a net increase in carbon storage compared to the status quo. Such an approach could convey economic benefits while retaining or enhancing the present rate of carbon sequestration.

description: The rotation states of kilometer sized near earth asteroids are known to be affected by the YORP effect. In a related effect, Binary YORP (BYORP) the orbital properties of a binary asteroid evolves under a radiation effect mostly acting on a tidally locked secondary. The BYORP effect can alter the orbital elements in $\sim 10^{4-5}$ years for a $D_{p}=2\;km$ primary with a $D_{s}=0.4\; km$ secondary at $1\; AU$. It can either separate the binary components or cause them to collide. In this paper we devise a simple approach to calculate the YORP effect on asteroids and BYORP effect on binaries including $J_2$ effects due to primary oblateness and the sun. We apply this to asteroids with known shapes as well as a set of randomly generated bodies with various degrees of smoothness. We find a strong correlation between the strengths of an asteroid's YORP and BYORP effects. Therefore, a statistical knowledge on one, could be used to estimate the effect of the other. We show that the action of BYORP preferentially shrinks rather than expands the binary orbit and that YORP preferentially slows down asteroids. This conclusion holds for the two extremes of thermal conductivities studied in this work and assuming the asteroid reaches a stable point, but may break down for moderate thermal conductivity. The YORP and BYORP effects are shown to be smaller than what could be naively expected due to near cancellation of the effects on small scales. Taking this near cancellation into account, a simple order of magnitude estimate of the YORP and BYORP effects as function of the sizes and smoothness of the bodies is calculated. Finally, we provide a simple proof showing that there is no secular effect due to absorption of radiation in BYORP.

description: Numerous explanation methods have been recently developed to interpret the decisions made by deep neural network (DNN) models. For image classifiers, these methods typically provide an attribution score to each pixel in the image to quantify its contribution to the prediction. However, most of these explanation methods appropriate attribution scores to pixels independently, even though both humans and DNNs make decisions by analyzing a set of closely related pixels simultaneously. Hence, the attribution score of a pixel should be evaluated jointly by considering itself and its structurally-similar pixels. We propose a method called IProp, which models each pixel's individual attribution score as a source of explanatory information and explains the image prediction through the dynamic propagation of information across all pixels. To formulate the information propagation, IProp adopts the Markov Reward Process, which guarantees convergence, and the final status indicates the desired pixels' attribution scores. Furthermore, IProp is compatible with any existing attribution-based explanation method. Extensive experiments on various explanation methods and DNN models verify that IProp significantly improves them on a variety of interpretability metrics.

description: Growing health awareness among consumers has increased the demand for natural phytonutrients. Carotene and tocols found in crude palm oil (CPO) can confer various health benefits. This work explored the use of a water-based approach to produce carotene and tocols concentrates from CPO. Enzymatic hydrolysis was first performed to convert the CPO to free fatty acids (FFA), followed by the removal of FFA by distillation. The addition of antioxidants was required to improve the retention of carotene and tocols during hydrolysis. Furthermore, the use of combi-lipases was found to significantly improve the FFA yield. The FFA produced could be effectively removed by distillation, yielding an oil residue which contained a high concentration of carotene and tocols. This water-based approach offers an inherently safer and a more sustainable process to produce palm phytonutrient concentrates compared to the conventional methanolysis process.

description: When professional learning and development (PLD) is provided for educators, those responsible for programme design and delivery seek to offer an experience that is appropriate, challenging and helpful, with the aim of improving education by changing thinking and therefore professional behaviour. However, appropriateness, challenge and the kinds of thinking capable of constructing improvements in education vary according to context. In order to better tailor PLD, it is helpful to understand not only what educators think about their PLD experiences, but also the frameworks through which they respond to, appreciate and describe their learning experiences. In this article, we offer insights into the value of open-ended questions in programme evaluation to reveal the reactions and comprehension frameworks of PLD recipients through a case study of Solomon Island teachers. The research deals with responses to and appreciations of PLD experiences in a leadership programme and subsequent qualification offered to principals across education sectors throughout the Solomon Islands. Analysis of responses to a single open-ended question, “Any other comments?”, reveals the importance of factoring in worldview, the fit between delivery mode and cultural practice, and contextual factors such as isolation when evaluating educators’ accounts of learning and perceptions of PLD.

The role of skewed immune responses in the resolution of viral infection, allergic disease, and sterile injury
Creators: name: Messing, Melina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The immune system evolved to protect the host from external pathogens as well as manage host internal processes including tissue repair after damage. This thesis explores different aspects of immune responses in the context of viral infection, allergic disease, and internal, sterile muscle injury. Firstly, the characterization of peripheral blood immune cells in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to an infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uncovered immune biomarkers, specifically serum IL-10 and CD11cˡºʷ classical monocytes, that are predictive of disease outcome. The unprecedented and ongoing burden caused by the COVID-19 pandemic makes this research timely and critical to assist with ICU patient management. Secondly, the characterization of immune cells in archived umbilical cord blood revealed biomarkers predictive of the development of childhood allergic disease, which occurs commonly and severely and for which disease origin is unclear. Our findings suggest that alterations in naive CD8 T cells and monocytes are already established prior to birth in children who, by the age of 5, develop a combined wheeze and atopy phenotype. The stages of prenatal immune development are rarely explored in the context of allergic disease development and may be a new avenue for early disease detection and prevention. Lastly, the characterization and manipulations of type-2 immune responses in mouse models of sterile acute and chronic skeletal muscle injury showed that type-2 immune cells are largely expendable in normal tissue regeneration but accelerate muscle pathology. Specifically, IL-33- induced type-2 immunity promoted prominent influx of ILC2s and eosinophils in acutely injured skeletal muscle with no discernable impact on muscle regeneration but accelerated fibrosis deposition in mdx mice – a model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. These findings add to our understanding of how the immune system supports normal tissue function and how tissue is damaged in disease, which is fundamental for future development of disease treatments and preventative measures.
Microstructure, Residual Stresses and Mechanical Properties of Laser Clad Rail Components

description: Increasing rates of railway deterioration requires new maintenance strategies to keep critical railway networks safe and operational. Laser cladding is an additive manufacturing-based technology that can deposit a metallurgically-bonded coating to restore worn rail profiles. An in-depth investigation has been undertaken to assess the resultant microstructure, mechanical properties and residual stresses after laser cladding both train and tram rails using different cladding alloys. A post-cladding heat treatment was found to be more effective at reducing the residual stresses than surface grinding operations. A unique combination of desirable microstructure, low tensile residual stresses and mechanical properties which complement the rail substrate has been achieved on different rail grades. This will assist in the development of a versatile laser cladding-based maintenance technique to repair and maintain essential railway infrastructure.

Gravitational wave astronomy: the definitive test for the "Einstein frame versus Jordan frame" controversy

description: The potential realization of a gravitational wave (GW) astronomy in next years is a great challenge for the scientific community. By giving a significant amount of new information, GWs will be a cornerstone for a better understanding of the universe and of the gravitational physics. In this paper the author shows that the GW astronomy will permit to solve a captivating issue of gravitation as it will be the definitive test for the famous "Einstein frame versus Jordan frame" controversy. In fact, we show that the motion of the test masses, i.e. the beam splitter and the mirror in the case of an interferometer, which is due to the scalar component of a GW, is different in the two frames. Thus, if a consistent GW astronomy will be realized, an eventual detection of signals of scalar GWs will permit to discriminate among the two frames. In this way, a direct evidence from observations will solve in an ultimate way the famous and long history of the "Einstein frame versus Jordan frame" controversy.

Relation between the 4d superconformal index and the S^3 partition function

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: A relation between the 4d superconformal index and the S^3 partition function is studied with focus on the 4d and 3d actions used in localization. In the case of vanishing Chern-Simons levels and round S^3 we explicitly show that the 3d action is obtained from the 4d action by dimensional reduction up to terms which do not affect the exact results. By combining this fact and a recent proposal concerning a squashing of S^3 and SU(2) Wilson line, we obtain a formula which gives the partition function depending on the Weyl weight of chiral multiplets, real mass parameters, FI parameters, and a squashing parameter as a limit of the index of a parent 4d theory.

description: We consider Lovelock theories of gravity in the context of AdS/CFT. We show that, for these theories, causality violation on a black hole background can occur well in the interior of the geometry, thus posing more stringent constraints than were previously found in the literature. Also, we find that instabilities of the geometry can appear for certain parameter values at any point in the geometry, as well in the bulk as close to the horizon. These new sources of causality violation and instability should be related to CFT features that do not depend on the UV behavior. They solve a puzzle found previously concerning unphysical negative values for the shear viscosity that are not ruled out solely by causality restrictions. We find that, contrary to previous expectations, causality violation is not always related to positivity of energy. Furthermore, we compute the bound for the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio of supersymmetric conformal field theories from d=4 till d=10 - i.e., up to quartic Lovelock theory -, and find that it behaves smoothly as a function of d. We propose an approximate formula that nicely fits these values and has a nice asymptotic behavior when d goes to infinity for any Lovelock gravity. We discuss in some detail the latter limit. We finally argue that it is possible to obtain increasingly lower values for the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio by the inclusion of more Lovelock terms.

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 400403
subject: Chemical engineering design

description: The centrifugal slurry pump is widely used across industries for the transportation of particle-fluid slurries, which exhibit entrained flow and erosion severity. Numerical modeling shows promise in realistically analyzing this system and providing insightful flow information.This project developed two different models, namely DDPM and CFD-DEM, based on the Euler-Lagrange framework. The DDPM model was used to study the effects of characteristic variables and geometrical retrofit. The CFD-DEM model was used to analyze particle-fluid interaction in detail. Both models were validated against experiments conducted on a jet erosion test and clear water performance. The developed models demonstrate a strong capability for further application in turbomachinery processes.

description: We provide a rigorous lattice approximation of conformal field theories given in terms of lattice fermions in 1+1-dimensions, focussing on free fermion models and Wess–Zumino–Witten models. To this end, we utilize a recently introduced operator-algebraic framework for Wilson–Kadanoff renormalization. In this setting, we prove the convergence of the approximation of the Virasoro generators by the Koo–Saleur formula. From this, we deduce the convergence of lattice approximations of conformal correlation functions to their continuum limit. In addition, we show how these results lead to explicit error estimates pertaining to the quantum simulation of conformal field theories.
