Photophysical Properties Of A Distyrylbenzene-related Color-change Fluorophore
Creators: Wang, Hui
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

This thesis mainly focuses on the photophysical properties and potential sens- ing applications of a designed fluorescent distyrylbenzene-related fluorophore. This fluorophore, which we refer to as “P4VB” in this work shows a large fluorescence spectral shift upon exposure to certain local environments. In this work, the response to protonation is shown to result in a blue-to-orange shift in the visible emitted color. The main research in this thesis then focuses on how one might develop this color-shifting fluorophore for several possi- ble applications, mainly relating to sensing. We start by examining how the fluorescence polarization can be controlled by incorporation of P4VB into a zinc-based metal-organic framework. Next, we show how P4VB can be used for paper-based carbon dioxide sensing, which is based on the formation and detection of carbonic acid in a humid carrier gas. Finally, we show how the sensing capacity can be dramatically enhanced by taking advantage of analyte partitioning into P4VB-loaded oil droplets. All of these methods capitalize on the ratiometric sensing approach afforded by a color-change fluorophore. We finally discuss the limitations of fluorescence color-shift sensing and potential further developments.

description: A two-fluid discrete Boltzmann model with a flexible Prandtl number is formulated to study the shock-bubble interaction (SBI). This paper mainly focuses on the viscous effects on morphological and thermodynamic non-equilibrium (TNE) characterizations during the SBI process. Due to the rapid and brief nature of the SBI process, viscosity has a relatively limited influence on macroscopic parameters but significantly affects the TNE features of the fluid system. Morphologically, viscosity affects the configuration of the vortex pair, increases both the amplitudes of gradients of average density and average temperature of the fluid field, and reduces circulation of the bubble. As a higher viscosity fluid absorbs more energy from the shock wave, it leads to an increase in both the proportion of the high-density region and the corresponding boundary length for a fixed density threshold. The spatiotemporal features of TNE quantities are analyzed from multiple perspectives. The spatial configuration of these TNE quantities exhibits interesting symmetry, which aids in understanding the way and extent to which fluid unit deviates from the equilibrium state. Theoretically, viscosity influences these TNE quantities by affecting the transport coefficients and gradients of macroscopic quantity. Meanwhile, the viscosity increases the entropy production rate originating from the non-organized momentum flux mainly through amplifying the transport coefficient and enhances the entropy production rate contributed by the non-organized energy flux by raising the temperature gradient. These multi-perspective results collectively provide a relatively comprehensive depiction of the SBI.

description: Finding whether a linear-constraint loop has a linear ranking function is an important key to understanding the loop behavior, proving its termination and establishing iteration bounds. If no preconditions are provided, the decision problem is known to be in coNP when variables range over the integers and in PTIME for the rational numbers, or real numbers. Here we show that deciding whether a linear-constraint loop with a precondition, specifically with partially-specified input, has a linear ranking function is EXPSPACE-hard over the integers, and PSPACE-hard over the rationals. The precise complexity of these decision problems is yet unknown. The EXPSPACE lower bound is derived from the reachability problem for Petri nets (equivalently, Vector Addition Systems), and possibly indicates an even stronger lower bound (subject to open problems in VAS theory). The lower bound for the rationals follows from a novel simulation of Boolean programs. Lower bounds are also given for the problem of deciding if a linear ranking-function supported by a particular form of inductive invariant exists. For loops over integers, the problem is PSPACE-hard for convex polyhedral invariants and EXPSPACE-hard for downward-closed sets of natural numbers as invariants.

description: Le riflessioni contenute nel presente contributo sono nate da alcuni interrogativi: che cos'è l'ascolto per noi? Come pensiamo che avvenga il processo dell'ascoltare, dell'intendere? Se proviamo a dare delle risposte a questi interrogativi ci rendiamo conto che esse sono cariche di pregiudizi. Infatti siamo portati a credere che l'ascolto sia, da un lato, un processo che avviene tra un "soggetto" che intende un "oggetto", qualcosa che gli sta di fronte; e, dall'altro, che nell'ascolto si metta in moto un meccanismo sia acustico sia intellettuale che ci permette di comprendere gli "oggetti" sonori. La tesi qui sostenuta è che l'ascolto così inteso non coglie affatto né la complessità né la verità del suo processo.

A framework to automate physical demand analysis based on artificial intelligence and motion capture for workplace safety improvement
Creators: Aliasgari, Ramin
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Workers' safety and productivity and its affecting factors, such as ergonomics, are essential aspects of construction projects. Applying ergonomics and realizing the connections among workers and their assigned tasks have indicated a decrease in workers' injuries and discomforts, a beneficial effect on productivity, and a reduction in project costs. Workers in the construction zone are often subjected to awkward body postures and repetitive motions that cause musculoskeletal disorders. Accordingly, these disorders and circumstances lead to delays in production.

This research focuses on an automated and systematic Physical Demand Analysis (PDA) via Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Motion Capture system (MOCAP) for analyzing the working circumstances associated with physical demand. It enables the health and safety department to comprehend the construction tasks and the plant operation in detail for each task and production line to analyze the potential ergonomic risks for workers. Conventionally, ergonomists use an expensive and long time process to manually gather data to fill out the forms associated with the PDA technique, which involves observing and interviewing the different workers about the physical demands of a particular job. No study has yet been conducted to make an automated framework based on construction 4.0 for this action. This study uses a MOCAP system and an artificial intelligence technique to obtain joint angles and body segment positions in different working situations, convert them to activities, and detect their frequency. The framework is created to automatically fill a posture-based PDA form and address the physiological side of the task demands. As a result, it can provide precise data about the physical demands of each job for different functions such as risk assessment, job matching, modified tasks for injured workers, and others. Also, the automated framework is created to reduce wastes related to costs and person-hours and improve the project's productivity.

description: Recent observations have shown that star-forming galaxies like our own Milky Way evolve kinematically into ordered thin disks over the last ~8 billion years since z=1.2, undergoing a process of "disk settling." For the first time, we study the kinematic evolution of a suite of four state of the art "zoom in" hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation and evolution in a fully cosmological context and compare with these observations. Until now, robust measurements of the internal kinematics of simulated galaxies were lacking as the simulations suffered from low resolution, overproduction of stars, and overly massive bulges. The current generation of simulations has made great progress in overcoming these difficulties and is ready for a kinematic analysis. We show that simulated galaxies follow the same kinematic trends as real galaxies: they progressively decrease in disordered motions (sigma_g) and increase in ordered rotation (Vrot) with time. The slopes of the relations between both sigma_g and Vrot with redshift are consistent between the simulations and the observations. In addition, the morphologies of the simulated galaxies become less disturbed with time, also consistent with observations, and they both have similarly large scatter. This match between the simulated and observed trends is a significant success for the current generation of simulations, and a first step in determining the physical processes behind disk settling.

Между первыми симптомами и диагностикой опухоли прошло около 3 месяцев. Проведено комплексное лечение: хирургическое, полихимиотера- пия, лучевая терапия. Заболевание было осложнено окклюзионной гидроцефалией, мозжечковыми симптомами, мутизмом, нарушением глотания, слабовыраженным метастатическим поражением спинного мозга. В катамнезе, несмотря на стабилизацию клинических проявлений болезни, у девочки имеется неблагоприятный прогноз с возможным прогрессированием патологического процесса.

description: We have experimentally studied the pump-probe Kerr rotation dynamics in WSe$_2$ monolayers. This yields a direct measurement of the exciton valley depolarization time $τ_v$. At T=4K, we find $τ_v\approx 6$ps, a fast relaxation time resulting from the strong electron-hole Coulomb exchange interaction in bright excitons. The exciton valley depolarization time decreases significantly when the lattice temperature increases with $τ_v$ being as short as 1.5ps at 125K. The temperature dependence is well explained by the developed theory taking into account the exchange interaction and a fast exciton scattering time on short-range potentials.

description: This paper considers the problem of distributed estimation in wireless sensor networks (WSN), which is anticipated to support a wide range of applications such as the environmental monitoring, weather forecasting, and location estimation. To this end, we propose a joint model and data driven distributed estimation method by designing the optimal quantizers and fusion center (FC) based on the Bayesian and minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterions. First, universal mean square error (MSE) lower bound for the quantization-based distributed estimation is derived and adopted as the design metric for the quantizers. Then, the optimality of the mean-fusion operation for the FC with MMSE criterion is proved. Next, by exploiting different levels of the statistic information of the desired parameter and observation noise, a joint model and data driven method is proposed to train parts of the quantizer and FC modules as deep neural networks (DNNs), and two loss functions derived from the MMSE criterion are adopted for the sequential training scheme. Furthermore, we extend the above results to the case with multi-bit quantizers, considering both the parallel and one-hot quantization schemes. Finally, simulation results reveal that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art schemes in typical scenarios.

For both we prove strong completeness with respect to the interpretation in Kleene algebras and a variant thereof. We also prove strong completeness for language models, where each logic comes with a different interpretation. We show that for both logics the cut rule is admissible and both have a decidable consequence relation.

description: Population structure has been known to substantially affect evolutionary dynamics. Networks that promote the spreading of fitter mutants are called amplifiers of natural selection, and those that suppress the spreading of fitter mutants are called suppressors. Research in the past two decades has found various families of amplifiers while suppressors still remain somewhat elusive. It has also been discovered that most networks are amplifiers under the birth-death updating combined with uniform initialization, which is a standard condition assumed widely in the literature. In the present study, we extend the birth-death processes to temporal (i.e., time-varying) networks. For the sake of tractability, we restrict ourselves to switching temporal networks, in which the network structure alternates between two static networks at constant time intervals. We show that, in a majority of cases, switching networks are less amplifying than both of the two static networks constituting the switching networks. Furthermore, most small switching networks are suppressors, which contrasts to the case of static networks.

description: The circadian clock allows the body to coordinate physiology with the light and dark cycles of the day. One of the critical components of the molecular clock machinery is the PER family of circadian clock genes, including PER1, PER2, and PER3. The PER3P1 (or PER4) is the only molecular clock-related pseudogene that has been derived from the PER3 gene. Pseudogenes have an essential role in the regulation of gene expression. In this study, we investigated the PER3P1 fluctuations and their effects on the PER3 expression level. We hypothesized that the PER3P1 pseudogene suppresses clock-related miRNAs and positively affects clock genes levels. The results showed that PER3P1 and its parent gene had a corresponding oscillatory expression pattern. The overexpression of PER3P1 increased the mRNA level of PER3. In contrast, the downregulation of PER3 decreased PER3P1 expression. Furthermore, PER3P1 modulates the expression level of other clock genes, including PER1, PER2, CRY1, and CRY2. Our results suggest that the PER3P1 pseudogene may positively affect the PER3 and other clock-related gene expressions.

description: Magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful, non invasive tool for medical diagnosis. The low sensitivity for detecting the nuclear spin signals, typically limits the image resolution to several tens of micrometers in preclinical systems and millimeters in clinical scanners. Other sources of information, derived from diffusion processes of intrinsic molecules as water in the tissues, allow getting morphological information at micrometric and submicrometric scales as potential biomarkers of several pathologies. Here we consider extracting this morphological information by probing the distribution of internal magnetic field gradients induced by the heterogeneous magnetic susceptibility of the medium. We use a cumulant expansion to derive the dephasing on the spin signal induced by the molecules that explore these internal gradients while diffuse. Based on the cumulant expansion, we define internal gradient distributions tensors (IGDT) and propose modulating gradient spin echo sequences to probe them. These IGDT contain microstructural morphological information that characterize porous media and biological tissues. We evaluate the IGDT effects on the magnetization decay with typical conditions of brain tissue and show their effects can be experimentally observed. Our results thus provide a framework for exploiting IGDT as quantitative diagnostic tools.

description: This is number twenty-two of 42 preservation briefs prepared by the Technical Preservation Services of the National Park Service. This brief focuses on the preservation and repair of historic stucco. Stucco is a material of deceptive simplicity: in most cases its repair should not be undertaken by a property owner unfamiliar with the art of plastering. Successful stucco repair requires the skill and experience of a professional plasterer. Therefore, this Brief has been prepared to provide background information on the nature and components of traditional stucco, as well as offer guidance on proper maintenance and repairs. The Brief will outline the requirements for stucco repair, and, when necessary, replacement. Although several stucco mixes representative of different periods are provided here for reference, this Brief does not include specifications for carrying out repair projects. Each project is unique, with its own set of problems that require individual solutions.
Methodological Comparisons of Classification Techniques and Refinement of an Operant go/no-go Procedure
Creators: Sahu, Prateek K.

Bioacoustic analyses have been used for a variety of purposes including classifying

vocalizations for biodiversity monitoring and understanding mechanisms of cognitive processes.

A wide range of statistical methods, including various automated methods, have been used to

successfully classify vocalizations based on species, sex, geography, and individual. Here, I used

several classification techniques, namely Discriminant Function Analyses (DFAs), Support

Vector Machines (SVMs), and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), for sex-based classification

of zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) distance calls using acoustic features measured from

spectrograms. We found that all three methods (DFAs, SVM, and ANNs) correctly classified the

calls to respective sex-based categories with high accuracy between 92% and 96%. Frequency

modulation of ascending frequency, total duration, and end frequency of the distance call were

the most predictive features underlying this classification in all our models. My results presented

here agree with previous results and identified highly convergent acoustic features involved in

this classification. My comparison of classification methods gives researcher much needed

information to select an optimal classification method.

Refining and modifying experimental procedures play a vital role in improving

methodology while also reducing animal distress. Standardized experimental procedures are

often modified for obtaining optimal responses. Many automated operant conditioning

procedures have been developed and modified over time. Here, I asked if an increase in feed

time duration affects discrimination in an operant go/no-go task. Specifically, we used zebra

finches’ sexually dimorphic distance calls as acoustic stimuli to test whether there were any

significant differences in performance on an operant discrimination task requiring zebra finches

iii

to classify calls according to the sex of the producer when a key experimental parameter, feed

time duration, was increased from 1 second to 2 seconds. We found no significant differences in

learning speed (trials to criterion) between birds that were given 1 sec or 2 sec of food access

following a correct go response. Our results indicate doubling food access duration did not

impact the speed of acquisition of distance call discrimination in zebra finches. These findings

suggest that we can provide twice as much time for zebra finches to access food, potentially

improving animal welfare, whilst still being able to compare new results with historical results.
Applications of resolvent analysis in fluid mechanics
Creators: name: McKeon, Beverley
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2019

description: These notes are intended to provide a description of some aspects of applications of resolvent analysis in fluid mechanics. They are targeted at students beginning research in this or related area, with the goal of providing a bridge between the generic linear algebra of textbooks and the archival journal articles implementing these techniques.

With regards to mathematical techniques, a working understanding of fundamental concepts of linear algebra, and in particular the singular value decomposition, as well a familiarity with the goals underlying modal analysis are assumed. Requiring more background in fluid mechanics, the reader will already be familiar with the formulation of resolvent analysis from the Navier-Stokes equations. These notes outline approaches to gaining insight into the characteristics of fluid system by viewing the governing equations in terms of linear dynamics driven by endogenous (nonlinear) or exogenous forcing. Such systems may exhibit laminar or turbulent behavior, may be forced or unforced, and may perhaps be under the influence of control actuation.

Physical interpretation of resolvent modes, the importance of mode weights and techniques for data reconstruction, and the incorporation of control into the analysis are covered.

description: Detection of regularities and their violations in sensory input is key to perception. Violations are indexed by an early EEG component called the mismatch negativity (MMN) – even if participants are distracted or unaware of the stimuli. On a mechanistic level, two dominant models have been suggested to contribute to the MMN: adaptation and prediction. Whether and how context conditions, such as awareness and task relevance, modulate the mechanisms of MMN generation is unknown. We conducted an EEG study disentangling influences of task relevance and awareness on the visual MMN. Then, we estimated different computational models for the generation of single-trial amplitudes in the MMN time window. Amplitudes were best explained by a prediction error model when stimuli were task-relevant but by an adaptation model when task-irrelevant and unaware. Thus, mismatch generation does not rely on one predominant mechanism but mechanisms vary with task relevance of stimuli.

Adaptation of white spruce to climatic risk environments in spring: implications for management under climate change
Creators: Casmey, Mariah
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The timing of spring dormancy release and bud break in trees is an adaptive trait with potentially important management implications. Depending on how spring phenology is controlled, climate warming may disrupt the synchronization of bud break with the available growing season. Further, addressing climate change through human assisted migration in reforestation programs could cause additional problems if phenology triggers of source and target locations differ. Here, we assess how phenology is controlled by heat sum and chilling requirements for a widespread and commercially important boreal tree species, white spruce (Picea glauca) in a range-wide common garden experiment. We find significant genetic population differentiation in heat sum requirements ranging from 390 to 450 degree days among regions (±12 average SE), and from 375 to 500 (±16) degree days among populations within regions. The lowest heat sum requirements are present in populations originating from climate environments with short growing seasons and high rates of spring warming. Chilling requirements in white spruce were also found (approx. 15 degree days), but they showed no genetic population differentiation. The results imply an evolutionary strategy of white spruce to take full advantage of a restricted northern boreal growing season. We can also infer that assisted migration of southern sources poleward is safe, but may entail a competitive disadvantage due to late bud break relative to local populations. Due to generally low chilling requirements, we do not anticipate de-synchronization of spring phenology with the growing season under climate warming in spruce, which could occur if high chilling requirements are not met.
ALP Conversion and the Soft X-ray Excess in the Outskirts of the Coma Cluster

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It was recently found that the soft X-ray excess in the center of the Coma cluster can be fitted by conversion of axion-like-particles (ALPs) of a cosmic axion background (CAB) to photons. We extend this analysis to the outskirts of Coma, including regions up to 5 Mpc from the center of the cluster. We extract the excess soft X-ray flux from ROSAT All-Sky Survey data and compare it to the expected flux from ALP to photon conversion of a CAB. The soft X-ray excess both in the center and the outskirts of Coma can be simultaneously fitted by ALP to photon conversion of a CAB. Given the uncertainties of the cluster magnetic field in the outskirts we constrain the parameter space of the CAB. In particular, an upper limit on the CAB mean energy and a range of allowed ALP-photon couplings are derived.
