description: Understanding properties of Quark-Gluon Plasma requires an unbiased comparison of experimental data with theoretical predictions. To that end, we developed the dynamical energy loss formalism which, in distinction to most other methods, takes into account a realistic medium composed of dynamical scattering centers. The formalism also allows making numerical predictions for a wide number of observables with the same parameter set fixed to standard literature values. In this proceedings, we overview our recently developed DREENA-C and DREENA-B frameworks, where DREENA is a computational implementation of the dynamical energy loss formalism, and where C stands for constant temperature QCD medium, while B stands for the medium modeled by 1+1D Bjorken expansion. At constant temperature our predictions overestimate $v_2$, in contrast to other models, but consistent with simple analytical estimates. With Bjorken expansion, we have a good agreement of the predictions with both $R_{AA}$ and $v_2$ measurements. We find that introducing medium evolution has a larger effect on $v_2$ predictions, but for precision predictions it has to be taken into account in $R_{AA}$ predictions as well. Based on numerical calculations and simple analytical derivations, we also propose a new observable, which we call path length sensitive suppression ratio, for which we argue that the path length dependence can be assessed in a straightforward manner. We also argue that $Pb+Pb$ vs. $Xe+Xe$ measurements make a good system to assess the path length dependence. As an outlook, we expect that introduction of more complex medium evolution (beyond Bjorken expansion) in the dynamical energy loss formalism can provide a basis for a state of the art QGP tomography tool - e.g. to jointly constrain the medium properties from the point of both high pt and low pt data.

description: The Event Horizon Telescope recently produced the first images of a black hole. These images were synthesized by measuring the coherent correlation function of the complex electric field measured at telescopes located across the Earth. This correlation function corresponds to the Fourier transform of the image under the assumption that the source emits spatially incoherent radiation. However, black holes differ from standard astrophysical objects: in the absence of absorption and scattering, an observer sees a series of increasingly demagnified echos of each emitting location. These echos correspond to rays that orbit the black hole one or more times before reaching the observer. This multi-path propagation introduces spatial and temporal correlations into the electric field that encode properties of the black hole, irrespective of intrinsic variability. We explore the coherent temporal autocorrelation function measured at a single telescope. Specifically, we study the simplified toy problem of scalar field correlation functions $\langle Ψ(t) Ψ(0) \rangle$ sourced by fluctuating matter located near a Schwarzschild black hole. We find that the correlation function is peaked at times equal to integer multiples of the photon orbit period; the corresponding power spectral density vanishes like $λ/r_{\rm g}$ where $r_{\rm g} = G M / c^{2}$ is the gravitational radius of the black hole and $λ$ is the wavelength of radiation observed. For supermassive black holes observed at millimeter wavelengths, the power in echos is suppressed relative to direct emission by $\sim 10^{-13} λ_{\rm mm}/M_{6}$, where $λ_{\rm mm} = λ/(1\,{\rm mm})$ and $M_6 = M/(10^6 M_\odot)$. Consequently, detecting multi-path propagation near a black hole using the coherent electric field autocorrelation is infeasible with current technology.

description: Prompted by X-ray detections from multiple surveys, we investigated the A-type star HD 63021 and found that it is a double-lined spectroscopic binary with highly variable emission associated with the primary star. Analysis of our multi-epoch spectroscopic observations, the majority of which were carried out on small aperture telescopes, indicates a very short orbital period of just $2.9$ days, and a mass ratio M$_2$/M$_1$ of $0.23$. The A1 V star is a slow rotator, with a rotational speed of $\sim34$ km/s. Assuming its mass is $2.3$ M$_{\odot}$, the present-day secondary is an evolved star of $\sim0.5$ M$_{\odot}$ that nearly fills its Roche lobe. This secondary star rotates comparatively rapidly at $\sim44$ km/s, and we see evidence that it is chromospherically active. Analysis of a photometric lightcurve from TESS reveals two strong periods, one at the orbital period for the system and another at half the orbital period. These findings suggest that HD 63021 is a close binary system undergoing mass transfer from the secondary star onto the primary star -- in all ways like an Algol eclipsing binary system, except without the eclipse. We discuss the system's mass transfer, which is not steady but seems to run in fits and bursts, and infer the system's basic physical properties from an orbital parameter study, the Roche lobe geometry, and its extant X-ray emission.

Soft-gluon and hadron-mass effects on fragmentation functions

description: We review recent progress in the development of an approach valid to any order which unifies the fixed-order DGLAP evolution of fragmentation functions at large x with soft-gluon logarithmic resummation at small x. At leading order, this approach, implemented with the Double Logarithmic Approximation, reproduces exactly the Modified Leading Logarithm Approximation, but it is more complete due to the degrees of freedom given to the quark sector and the inclusion of the fixed-order terms. We find that data from the largest x values to the peak region can be better fitted than with other approaches. In addition, we develop a treatment of hadron mass effects that leads to additional improvements at small x.

description: In order to evaluate the ground-based infrared telescope sensitivity affected by the noise from the atmosphere, instruments and detectors, we construct a sensitivity model that can calculate limiting magnitudes and signal-to-noise ratio ($S/N$). The model is tested with tentative measurements of $\rm M'$-band sky brightness and atmospheric extinction obtained at the Ali and Daocheng sites. We find that the noise caused by an excellent scientific detector and instruments at $-135^\circ \rm C$ can be ignored compared to the $\rm M'$-band sky background noise. Thus, when $S/N=3$ and total exposure time is 1 second for 10 m telescopes, the magnitude limited by the atmosphere is $13.01^{\rm m}$ at Ali and $12.96^{\rm m}$ at Daocheng. Even under less-than-ideal circumstances, i.e., the readout noise of a deep cryogenic detector is less than $200e^-$ and the instruments are cooled to below $-87.2^\circ \rm C$, the above magnitudes decrease by $0.056^{\rm m}$ at most. Therefore, according to observational requirements with a large telescope in a given infrared band, astronomers can use this sensitivity model as a tool for guiding site surveys, detector selection and instrumental thermal-control.

description: We present an interesting dynamical temporal localization of a strongly driven two-level system (TLS), a plateau with quantized oscillation, by an analytical and transparent method, the counter-rotating-hybridized rotating-wave (CHRW) method. This approach, which is based on unitary transformations with a single parameter, treats the rotating and counter-rotating terms on equal footing. In the unitarily transformed representation, we find that it is the multiple-harmonic terms shown in the transformed Hamiltonian that make a crucial contribution to the generation of the exotic plateau phenomenon. By comparing the results of the numerically exact calculation and several other methods, we show that the CHRW results obtained by analytical formalism involving the collective effects of multiple harmonics are in good agreement with the numerical results, which illustrates not only the general tendency of the dynamical evolution of strongly driven TLS, but also the interesting phenomena of plateaus. The developed CHRW method reveals two kinds of plateau patterns: zigzag plateau and armchair plateau. The plateau phenomenon has a periodical pattern whose frequency is double the driving frequency, and possesses quantized oscillations the number of which has a certain, precise value. Besides, fast oscillation is produced on every plateau which is determined by the relevant driving parameters of the TLS. Our main results are as follows: (i) in the large-amplitude oscillatory case, it turns out that the collective effects of all even harmonics contribute to the generation of zigzag plateau with quantized oscillation; (ii) in the small-amplitude oscillatory case, the dynamics of the coherent destruction of tunneling under strong driving is exactly exhibited by including the odd-harmonic effect, namely, armchair plateau possessing a two-stair structure rather than the complete destruction.

Crisis management and regional security systems in Southeast Asia

description: This thesis examines what the management of crises can reveal about the type and the nature of regional security systems in Southeast Asia. It seeks to evaluate whether or not crisis management conducted by the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN) member countries helps to provide ways of conceptualising regional security systems, namely a security community, a balance of power, or a classical concert of powers. While there is a growing body of literature examining the relevance of the first two concepts for explaining the type of regional security system in Southeast Asia, there is a very limited literature that explores whether or not a regional classical concert of powers can provide a relevant explanation. Given that historically the notion of crisis management has been a useful indicator that sheds light the international system, this thesis specifically examines a possible connection between crisis management and security systems in Southeast Asia. The study approaches this task by investigating three case studies: the 1978-1991 Cambodian crisis, the 1999-2002 East Timor crisis and the 2008-2010 Cyclone Nargis crisis. The thesis has two key arguments. First, whether or not the three conceptualisations of regional security systems examined and their variations in the thesis have explanatory value depends on at least two conditions, namely the phase of the crisis - whether it is in an escalating, acute, or de-escalating period - and the nature of the crisis - whether it is traditional or non traditional. Second, the thesis argues that under the same conditions, there are times when the regional security system can best be conceptualised as a 'quasi concert of regional leading powers'. The introduction of this concept contributes to ongoing debate within academic literature about the nature of the regional security systems that operate in Southeast Asia. These two arguments also have additional implications for policy development in Southeast Asia. The first is that the management of crises in Southeast Asia needs to be reviewed and ways found to establish more robust policies and structures for managing crises. ASEAN member states need to set up formal dispute settlement and crisis management mechanisms and the role of the Secretary-General of ASEAN should be strengthened with monitoring and evaluation. The second policy direction that the findings point to is that the burdens of the crisis management should be shared by the regional leading powers and all ASEAN member states. Regional security requires dedicated effort by every Southeast Asian country.

description: In computer vision, reference datasets have been highly successful in promoting algorithmic development in stereo reconstruction. Surgical scenes gives rise to specific problems, including the lack of clear corner features, highly specular surfaces and the presence of blood and smoke. Publicly available datasets have been produced using CT and either phantom images or biological tissue samples covering a relatively small region of the endoscope field-of-view. We present a stereo-endoscopic reconstruction validation dataset based on CT (SERV-CT). Two {\it ex vivo} small porcine full torso cadavers were placed within the view of the endoscope with both the endoscope and target anatomy visible in the CT scan. Orientation of the endoscope was manually aligned to the stereoscopic view. Reference disparities and occlusions were calculated for 8 stereo pairs from each sample. For the second sample an RGB surface was acquired to aid alignment of smooth, featureless surfaces. Repeated manual alignments showed an RMS disparity accuracy of ~2 pixels and a depth accuracy of ~2mm. The reference dataset includes endoscope image pairs with corresponding calibration, disparities, depths and occlusions covering the majority of the endoscopic image and a range of tissue types. Smooth specular surfaces and images with significant variation of depth are included. We assessed the performance of various stereo algorithms from online available repositories. There is a significant variation between algorithms, highlighting some of the challenges of surgical endoscopic images. The SERV-CT dataset provides an easy to use stereoscopic validation for surgical applications with smooth reference disparities and depths with coverage over the majority of the endoscopic images. This complements existing resources well and we hope will aid the development of surgical endoscopic anatomical reconstruction algorithms.

description: This paper aims to develop brain-computer interface system based on electroencephalography that can aid disabled people in daily life. The system relies on one of the most effective event-related potential wave, P300, which can be elicited by oddball paradigm. Developed application has a basic interaction tool that enables disabled people to convey their needs to other people selecting related objects. These objects pseudo-randomly flash in a visual interface on computer screen. The user must focus on related object to convey desired needs. The system can convey desired needs correctly by detecting P300 wave in acquired 14-channel EEG signal and classifying using linear discriminant analysis classifier just in 15 seconds. Experiments have been carried out on 19 volunteers to validate developed BCI system. As a result, accuracy rate of 90.83% is achieved in online performance

description: We present a realistic supersymmetric SU(5) model combined with a non-anomalous U(1)_F symmetry. We find a set of U(1)_F charges which automatically lead to the realistic mass hierarchy and mixing patterns for quarks, leptons and neutrinos. All gauge anomalies, including the [U(1)_F]^3 anomaly, are cancelled in our model without invoking the Green-Schwarz mechanism or having exotic fields. Proton decay mediated by dimension 5 operators is automatically suppressed in our model, because the scale set by the largest right-handed neutrino mass is much less than the GUT scale.

Global Debates, local dilemmas : sex-selective abortion in contemporary Vietnam

description: Sex-selective abortion has been the subject of vigorous debate around the world. While the ethical implications and consequences of sex-selective abortion have been intensely debated within the field of bioethics and feminism, anthropological contributions to these debates have been surprisingly limited. In Vietnam, demographic data indicates that the proportion of male births has increased over the last decade, especially since 2003. The national average sex ratio at birth, an indicator of sex selection, today is close to 111, and may rise to 115 in the current decade. Although demographic research indicates that the trend is the result of the practice of sex-selective abortion, very little is understood about the incidence of sex-selective abortions in Vietnam: who undertakes them, why they decide to do so, how they take place and why policy measures to prevent them apparently have had such little effect. Also noticeably missing in discussions of this problem in Vietnam is attention to the identities, circumstances and experiences of those who provide and undergo sex-selective abortions. Adopting a processual and phenomenological approach to sex-selective abortion, this study aims to examine how and why sex-selective abortions occur and to explore the motives, circumstances and experiences of the people, especially women, who undertake them. As the first ethnographic study of sex-selective abortion in Vietnam, the research sheds light on the social, cultural, institutional and personal contexts in which such abortions take place and contributes to debates on the global and local factors that influence the utilization of new reproductive technologies for sex selection. This study suggests that sex-selective abortion in Vietnam is driven by three important factors: the perception of son preference rooted in the structure of the society; the desire for smaller sized families that reflects personal ambitions, economic imperativeness and policy constraints; and the development and market-driven proliferation of new reproductive technologies, particularly ultrasound, that facilitate sex determinations. The study identifies the people who engage in sex selection and investigates who they are sociologically, what motivates them, what procedures they follow, and how the practice of sex selection impacts upon them physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually. The thesis includes eight chapters, in which the five substantive chapters give an ethnographic account of how sex-selective abortions take place. The account traces women's experiences of this process, from their involvement in sex determination and abortion decision-making, through to their experiences of abortion procedures and the after{u00AC}effects of abortions. It concludes with a discussion of societal responses to this phenomenon.

description: This essay is based on Roland Βarthes's texts of theatrical criticism and it is developed throught three main axes. The ancient Greek tragedy played a significant role in the development of his theatrical views, mainly as an important form of political and popular theater. At first Barthes is largely interested in the efforts of Jean Vilar and his Theatre National Populaire before discovering an accomplished form of political theater in the theatrical and theoretical work of Brecht. After ten years of continuous interest in the theater, Barthes stops attending theatrical events and thus writing about theater, ending in this way a vibrant and passionate career as theater critic.

description: In life, individuals have rights and responsibilities from birth to death. After death, they lose legal personhood and become possessions, with concerns extending to their body, reputation, and estate. While ownership of property ends, the law recognizes three posthumous rights: dignified burial or cremation, execution of the will, and preservation of reputation. Criminal law prohibits desecration of the body. Despite not being legal persons, the legal system respects their testamentary wishes, allowing the establishment of trusts for graveyard upkeep. However, individuals can't permanently allocate estate parts for personal grave maintenance. Lifetime bequests of body parts are restricted, but eye donation is legally permissible.

description: We show that the diffusion of a single file of particles moving in a fluctuating modulated 1D channel is enhanced with respect to the one in a bald pipe. This effect, induced by the fluctuations of the modulation, is favored by the incommensurability between the channel potential modulation and the moving file periodicity. This phenomenon could be of importance in order to optimize the critical current in superconductors, in particular in the case where mobile vortices move in 1D channels designed by adapted patterns of pinning sites.

Barnes-Evans relations for dwarfs with an application to the determination of distances to cataclysmic variables

description: Barnes-Evans type relations provide an empirical relationship between the surface brightness of stars and their color. They are widely used for measuring the distances to stars of known radii, as the Roche-lobe filling secondaries in cataclysmic variables (CVs). The calibration of the surface brightness of field dwarfs of near-solar metalicity with spectral types A0 to L8 covers all secondary spectral types detectable in CVs and related objects and will aid in the measurement of their distances. The calibrations are based on the radii of field dwarfs measured by the Infrared Flux Method and by interferometry. Published photometry is used and homogenized to the Cousins Rc and Ic and the CIT JHK photometric systems. The narrow band surface brightness at 7500A is based on our own and published spectrophotometry. Care is taken to select the dwarfs for near-solar metalicity, appropriate to CVs, and to avoid errors caused by unrecognized binarity. Relations are provided for the surface brightness in V, Rc, Ic, J, H, K and in a narrow band at 7500A as functions of V-K and of spectral type. The method is tested with selected CVs for which independent information on their distances is available. The observed spread in the radii of early M-dwarfs of given mass or luminosity and its influence on the distance measurements of CVs is discussed. As long as accurate trigonometric parallaxes are not routinely available for a large number of CVs, the surface brightness method remains a reliable means of determining distances to CVs in which a spectral signature of the secondary star can be discerned.

description: This thesis addresses three problems in trichromatic and hyperspectral imagery: outdoor shadow detection, recovery of photometric invariants and personalised image visualisation. It shows how detection of shadows in outdoor imagery is a necessary preprocessing step, before photometric invariants can be separated from a single spectral or RGB image. It then shows how the recovered reflectance parameters can be used to create user colour preferences for visualising the image. The first contribution of this thesis is a physics based model to detect shadows in outdoor scenes. Here, we note that shadows arise from diffuse skylight that has been scattered by particles in the atmosphere. This yields a treatment in which shadows in the image can be viewed as a linear combination of scattered sunlight obeying Rayleigh scattering and Mie theory. This allows a ratio to be calculated that permits the problem of recovering the shadowed areas in an image to be recast into a clustering setting making use of active contours. It also allows a metric to be formulated that indicates the degree to which a scene is overcast. Secondly, we address the problem of efficiently recovering the reflectance parameters from a single multispectral or hyperspectral image. To do so, we propose a shapelet based estimator (SBE) to recover shading in an image. The optimisation setting presented here is based on a three-step process. The first calculates the geometric shading based on an alternative shapelets method; the second uses a constrained optimisation approach to update the surface reflectance and the specular coefficients; and the third employs either a simple least-squares formulation or its variants to update the illuminant power spectrum. This yields a computationally efficient method that achieves speed-ups of nearly an order of magnitude as compared to its closest alternative without compromising performance. Moreover, our photometric invariants recovery method can derive the material reflectance and illumination parameters which are necessary for creating user colour preference profiles. To visualise an image, we make use of the heterogeneous nature of a scene and impose consistency over object materials, an approach that allows small compositional variations across objects in the image to be detected. In this way, the quality of the images under consideration can be maximised based on user preferences. This means individual user profiles can be employed for processing real world imagery, while avoiding undesirable effects when the final colour image is produced.

description: The Berger model of perturbative fragmentation of quarks to pions is improved by providing an absolute normalization and keeping all terms in a (1-z) expansion, which makes the calculation valid at all values of fractional pion momentum z. We also replace the nonrelativistic wave function of a loosely bound pion by the more realistic procedure of projecting to the light-cone pion wave function, which in turn is taken from well known models. The full calculation does not confirm the (1-z)^2 behavior of the fragmentation function (FF) predicted in for $z>0.5$, and only works at very large z>0.95, where it is in reasonable agreement with phenomenological FFs. Otherwise, we observe quite a different z-dependence which grossly underestimates data at smaller z. The disagreement is reduced after the addition of pions from decays of light vector mesons, but still remains considerable. The process dependent higher twist terms are also calculated exactly and found to be important at large z and/or pT.

description: Bentazone, an herbicide widely applied in rice and cereal crops, is widespread in the aquatic environment. This study evaluated the capacity of Trametes versicolor to remove bentazone from water. The fungus was able to completely remove bentazone after three days at Erlenmeyer-scale incubation. Both laccase and cytochrome P450 enzymatic systems were involved in bentazone degradation. A total of 19 transformation products (TPs) were identified to be formed during the process. The reactions involved in their formation included hydroxylations, oxidations, methylations, N-nitrosation, and dimerization. A laccase mediated radical mechanism was proposed for TP formation. In light of the results obtained at the Erlenmeyer scale, a trickle-bed reactor with T. versicolor immobilized on pine wood chips was set up to evaluate its stability during bentazone removal under non-sterile conditions. After 30 days of sequencing batch operation, an average bentazone removal of 48 % was obtained, with a considerable contribution of adsorption onto the lignocellulosic support material. Bacterial contamination, which is the bottleneck in the implementation of fungal bioreactors, was successfully addressed by this particular system according to its maintained performance. This research is a pioneering step forward to the implementation of fungal bioremediation on a real scale.

Statistical admission control for MPEG streams with non-overflow guarantees
Creators: name: Dilek, Rita
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Most of the existing analyses on admission control and buffer management for continuous media streams assume fixed rate data compression. This assumption is invalid for MPEG streams, which have variable bit rate (VBR) compression. With the increased acceptance of VBR compression and the development of new, more efficient VBR techniques, there is a need for new models, analyses and algorithms for streams with variable compression. The Central Limit Theorem of Statistics has been proposed for use at the granularity level of data streams to handle admission control of concurrent variably compressed streams. The implication here is that the total amount of buffer space required by all streams in the system at a particular point in time is approximately normally distributed. In this thesis we develop a model for MPEG streams that applies the Central Limit Theorem at the finer granularity level of frames. This gives a stronger and more general result: that the amount of buffer space required for each stream approximates a normal distribution. Using this model we develop several admission control algorithms that provide user-selectable, individual non-overflow guarantee levels by computing the amount of exclusive buffers needed to provide these guarantees. Experimental results indicate that the buffer space overhead required to support individual guarantees is fairly small and worthwhile. We also investigate the feasibility of providing an additional q% system-wide non-overflow guarantee on top of the individual guarantees through the use of shared buffers. Experimental results indicate that the buffer space overhead is again quite small but very successful in enhancing the reliability and quality of service to the user.

description: Natural language processing is a branch of computer science that combines artificial intelligence with linguistics. It aims to analyze a language element such as writing or speaking with software and convert it into information. Considering that each language has its own grammatical rules and vocabulary diversity, the complexity of the studies in this field is somewhat understandable. For instance, Turkish is a very interesting language in many ways. Examples of this are agglutinative word structure, consonant/vowel harmony, a large number of productive derivational morphemes (practically infinite vocabulary), derivation and syntactic relations, a complex emphasis on vocabulary and phonological rules. In this study, the interesting features of Turkish in terms of natural language processing are mentioned. In addition, summary info about natural language processing techniques, systems and various sources developed for Turkish are given.
