description: The rotating linear dilatonic black hole is an asymptotically non-flat solution to Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton-Axion gravity theory due to the existence of non-trivial matter fields. We have analytically studied the wave equation of scalar field in this background and shown that the radial wave equation can be solved in terms of hypergeometric function. By determining the ingoing and the outgoing fluxes at the asymptotic infinity, we have found the analytical expressions for reflection coefficient and greybody factor for certain scalar modes. In the high frequency regime, we obtain the Hawking temperature by comparing the blackbody spectrum with the radiation spectrum resulting from reflection coefficient. It is shown that the Hawking temperature, which depends only on the linear dilatonic background parameter, does not agree with the temperature calculated from surface gravity. At last, the quasinormal modes of scalar field perturbation are presented, which shows that the rotating linear dilationic black hole is unstable for certain modes apart from the superradiant modes.

description: In this thesis, we present a real-time hardware implementation of an exponent-based tone mapping algorithm of Horé et al. Although there are several tone mapping algorithms available in the literature, most of them require manual tuning of their rendering parameters. However, in our implementation, the algorithm has an embedded automatic key parameter estimation block that controls the brightness of the tone-mapped images. We also present the implementation of a Gaussian-based halo reducing filter. The hardware implementation is described in Verilog and synthesized for a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device. Experimental results performed on different wide dynamic range (WDR) images show that we are able to get images which are of good visual quality and have good brightness and contrast. The good performance of our hardware architecture is also confirmed quantitatively with the high peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM) index.
Space densities of AGN and the FR dichotomy
Creators: name: Gendre, Melanie A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Extended double-lobe radio sources can be morphologically classified into two groups: Fanaroff-Riley (FR) type I sources have the highest surface brightness along the jets near the core and FR type II sources show the highest surface brightness at the lobe extremities, as well as more collimated jets. This thesis work focuses on a comparison of the space densities of FRI and FRII sources at different epochs, with a particular focus on FRI sources. First, we present the construction of the Combined NVSS-FIRST Galaxy catalogue (CoNFIG), a new sample of radio sources at 1.4 GHz. It includes VLA observations, FRI/FRII morphology classifications, optical identifications and redshift estimates. The final catalogue consists of 858 sources over 4 samples (CoNFIG-1, 2, 3 and 4 with flux density limits of S₁.₄_GHz=1.3, 0.8, 0.2 and 0.05 Jy respectively). It is 95.7% complete in radio morphology classification and 74.3% of the sources have redshift data. Combining CoNFIG with complementary samples, the distribution and cosmic evolution of FRI and FRII sources are investigated. We find that FRI sources undergo mild evolution and that, at the same radio luminosity, FRI and FRII sources show similar space density enhancements in various redshift ranges, implying a common mechanism powering the luminosity-dependent evolution. This improved understanding of radio galaxy evolution will also give better insight into the the physics of AGN and their role in galaxy formation.

description: We measured the shot noise in the CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB-based magnetic tunneling junctions with a high tunneling magnetoresistance ratio (over 200% at 3 K). Although the Fano factor in the anti-parallel configuration is close to unity, it is observed to be typically 0.91\pm0.01 in the parallel configuration. It indicates the sub-Poissonian process of the electron tunneling in the parallel configuration due to the relevance of the spin-dependent coherent transport in the low bias regime.

description: The use of coagulation and Fenton oxidation was studied for total organic carbon (TOC) and silica removal from SAGD water at 80oC and 22oC and two different concentrations replicating the stream feeding the warm lime softening unit and the blowdown of the once through steam generator (OTSG). Coagulation was carried out by the addition of FeCl3, Al(NO3)3 and Ca(NO3)2. The results showed that Fe(III) salt outperformed Al(III) and Ca(II) salts. A two-stage addition of 2.5 g FeCl3 per g TOC intermediated by a filtration unit resulted in approximately 72% TOC removal and more than 80% Si removal while maintaining low solid waste. It is believed that silica removal was governed by the resultant pH, whereas TOC removal was accomplished through localized enmeshment coagulation. Fenton Oxidation is proposed to further treat the filtrate obtained from the second stage Fe(III) coagulation. An additional 10% TOC removal could be achieved at 7 times lower H2O2 dose in the presence of Fe2+ or Fe0 reagent. Moreover, Advanced Fenton Process resulted in high Si removal as a consequence of adsorption onto Fe(OH)3 precipitate, which formed at the natural equilibrium pH of the system.

description: This paper presents a distributed algorithm to simultaneously compute the diameter, radius and node eccentricity in all nodes of a synchronous network. Such topological information may be useful as input to configure other algorithms. Previous approaches have been modular, progressing in sequential phases using building blocks such as BFS tree construction, thus incurring longer executions than strictly required. We present an algorithm that, by timely propagation of available estimations, achieves a faster convergence to the correct values. We show local criteria for detecting convergence in each node. The algorithm avoids the creation of BFS trees and simply manipulates sets of node ids and hop counts. For the worst scenario of variable start times, each node i with eccentricity ecc(i) can compute: the node eccentricity in diam(G)+ecc(i)+2 rounds; the diameter in 2*diam(G)+ecc(i)+2 rounds; and the radius in diam(G)+ecc(i)+2*radius(G) rounds.

description: Recently, Multi-Scenario Learning (MSL) is widely used in recommendation and retrieval systems in the industry because it facilitates transfer learning from different scenarios, mitigating data sparsity and reducing maintenance cost. These efforts produce different MSL paradigms by searching more optimal network structure, such as Auxiliary Network, Expert Network, and Multi-Tower Network. It is intuitive that different scenarios could hold their specific characteristics, activating the user's intents quite differently. In other words, different kinds of auxiliary features would bear varying importance under different scenarios. With more discriminative feature representations refined in a scenario-aware manner, better ranking performance could be easily obtained without expensive search for the optimal network structure. Unfortunately, this simple idea is mainly overlooked but much desired in real-world systems.Further analysis also validates the rationality of adaptive feature learning under a multi-scenario scheme. Moreover, our A/B test results on the Alibaba search advertising platform also demonstrate that Maria is superior in production environments.

Improvising spaces : places, spaces, and do-it-yourself performance in Vancouver, BC
Creators: name: McDermid, Heather Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines and documents the performance and arts culture emerging from underground and off-the-grid arts spaces in Vancouver, BC. This study examines a small cross-section of the city’s underground performance culture, and places it in the context of its time and place to inquire into why and how it is developing, and the impact that it is having on the individuals and communities who shape it. This study makes use of both arts-based and qualitative research methods to collect and analyze information about the practical, social and political influences that are contributing to the emergence of this section of underground culture. This study has roots in my own work as an artist and participant in underground cultural activities, and has required that I consider my role as both an insider (artist) and outsider (researcher). The written portion of this thesis examines three interconnected aspects: what kind of art is being developed in these spaces? How might it be understood as a product of its ‘environment’? And what sort of impact is this form of art-making having on the individuals who take part and on the wider community? The analysis suggests that artists’, organizers’ and participants’ experiences with and perceptions of regulations and enforcement agencies, their material limitations, and social/political values and intentions play significant roles in defining the character of underground spaces, what kinds of artistic activity takes place and how it is organized. The artist book that accompanies this thesis aims to document the creative practices that are taking place, and to reflect them back to the people who are contributing to creating this cultural landscape. With this study and artist book I hope to both capture a snapshot of what is currently taking place in a section of the underground art scene, as well as produce a work that serves as an example of research-as-art.

Experimental Investigation of Expanding Solvent Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage using Multicomponent Solvents

description: The Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) process is the only proven commercially-viable in situ bitumen recovery method for the Athabasca oil sands deposit. However, in spite of its success in recovering highly viscous bitumen, SAGD remains an expensive technique that requires large energy input in the form of steam for each barrel of produced oil. Many modifications to SAGD continue to evolve to achieve higher energy efficiency and environmental sustainability while maintaining economic viability. The application of Expanding Solvent SAGD (ES-SAGD) has the potential to significantly address the aforementioned issues. ES-SAGD is a variation of SAGD wherein solvent is co-injected with steam to mobilize bitumen through simultaneous heat and mass transfer. The inter-related effects of heat transfer, molecular diffusion and mechanical dispersion, in addition to reservoir properties and operational considerations, play an important role in identifying the appropriate solvent concentration and co-injection strategy. This study evaluates, using a partially-scaled two-dimensional physical model, the application of ES-SAGD based on actual Long Lake reservoir properties and operating conditions, using cracked naphtha and gas condensate at different concentrations. These solvents are multicomponent, readily available, relatively inexpensive and highly effective in enhancing SAGD performance. Eight high pressure experiments were conducted using a highly instrumented physical model to accurately measure pressure, temperature and fluid flow rates. Upon completion of each experiment, extensive produced fluid and porous media analyses were conducted to evaluate the performance of ES-SAGD relative to SAGD. The results from this study conclusively demonstrate that co-injecting cracked naphtha and gas condensate with steam, under specific conditions, significantly increases oil production rates and reduces steam requirements. Solvent recovery was in the range of 72 to 99 percent and varied with solvent type, concentration and operating strategy. These promising results are expected to be instrumental in the design and implementation of an ES-SAGD field trial.

description: The vulnerability of deep neural network models to adversarial example attacks is a practical challenge in many artificial intelligence applications. A recent line of work shows that the use of randomization in adversarial training is the key to find optimal strategies against adversarial example attacks. However, in a fully randomized setting where both the defender and the attacker can use randomized strategies, there are no efficient algorithm for finding such an optimal strategy. To fill the gap, we propose the first algorithm of its kind, called FRAT, which models the problem with a new infinite-dimensional continuous-time flow on probability distribution spaces. FRAT maintains a lightweight mixture of models for the defender, with flexibility to efficiently update mixing weights and model parameters at each iteration. Furthermore, FRAT utilizes lightweight sampling subroutines to construct a random strategy for the attacker. We prove that the continuous-time limit of FRAT converges to a mixed Nash equilibria in a zero-sum game formed by a defender and an attacker. Experimental results also demonstrate the efficiency of FRAT on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 datasets.

description: It is an indisputable fact that solar magnetic fields are force-free in the corona, where force free fields means that current and magnetic fields are parallel and there is no Lorentz force in the fields. While the force-free extent of photospheric magnetic fields remains open. In this paper, the statistical results about it is given. The vector magnetograms (namely, $B_{x}$, $B_{y}$ and $B_{z}$ in heliocentric coordinates) are employed, which are deduced and calibrated from Stokes spectra, observed by Solar Magnetic Field Telescope (SMFT) at Huairou Solar Observing Station (HSOS) are used. We study and calibrated 925 magnetograms calibrated by two sets of calibration coefficients, that indicate the relations between magnetic fields and the strength of Stokes spectrum and can be calculated either theoretically or empirically. The statistical results show that the majority of active region magnetic fields are not consistent with the force-free model.

Minimum Hellinger Distance Estimation for a Two-component Mixture Model

subject: Minimum Hellinger Distance Estimation
subject: location-shifted mixture model

description: Over the last two decades, semiparametric mixture model receives increasing attention, simply due to the fact that mixture models arise frequently in real life. In this thesis we consider a semiparametric two-component location-shifted mixture model. We propose to use the minimum Hellinger distance estimator (MHDE) to estimate the two location parameters and the mixing proportion. A MHDE is obtained by minimizing the Hellinger distance between an assumed parametric model and a nonparametric estimation of the model. MHDE was proved to have asymptotic effciency and excellent robustness against small deviations from assumed model. To construct the MHDE,we propose to use a bounded linear operator introduced by Bordes et al. (2006) to estimate the unknown nuisance parameter (an unknown function). To facilitate the calculation of the MHDE,we develop an iterative algorithm and propose a novel initial estimation of the parameters of our interest. To assess the performance of the proposed estimations, we carry out simulation studies and a real data analysis and compare the results with those of the minimum profile Hellinger distance estimator (MPHDE) proposed by Wu et al. (2017) for the same model. The results show that the MHDE is very competitive with the MPHDE in terms of bias and mean squared error, while the MHDE is on average about 2.7 times computationally faster than the MPHDE. The simulation studies also demonstrate that the proposed initial is much more robust than the one used in Wu et al. (2017).

description: The complex admittance of metal/oxide/pentacene thin film junctions is investigated under ambient conditions. At low frequencies, a contribution attributed to proton diffusion through the oxide is seen. This diffusion is shown to be anomalous and is believed to be also at the origin of the bias stress effect observed in organic field effect transistors. At higher frequencies, two dipolar contributions are evidenced, attributed to defects located one at the organic/oxide interface or within the organic, and the other in the bulk of the oxide. These two dipolar responses show different dynamic properties that manifest themselves in the admittance in the form of a Debye contribution for the defects located in the oxide, and of a Cole-Cole contribution for the defects related to the organic.

description: The neocortex is the site of higher order cognitive functioning and sensory processing. It is an essential region of the brain as a reduction in neocortical mass at birth due to reduced neuronal number is often associated with intellectual deficits and behavioural abnormalities. It is thus important that we decipher how neurogenesis is regulated during neocortical development. My research has focused on determining how neocortical progenitors decide to proliferate or differentiate; a cell fate choice that dictates how many neurons are born during development. Specifically, I have studied the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors encoded by the proneural genes Neurogenin 2 (Neurog2) and Achaete scute-like 1 (Ascl1). Neurog2 and Ascl1 are expressed in neural progenitor cells and give rise to distinct neuronal and glial cell types. In the developing telencephalon, Neurog2 promotes the differentiation of excitatory projection neurons while Ascl1 promotes the differentiation of interneurons and glioblasts. My general hypothesis was that Neurog2-Ascl1 form a genetic switch, and that the extrinsic/intrinsic cues that control this genetic switch lie at the crux of cortical progenitor cell fate decisions, ensuring that cortical cells differentiate in sequence and on time. Data that supports this hypothesis, demonstrates that Neurog2-Ascl1 do indeed form a cross-repressive genetic switch, acting together to regulate the timing of laminar fate transitions, and conferring a metastable stem cell state onto a subpool of cortical progenitors. Furthermore, I made inroads into understanding how Neurog2 proneural activity is regulated, demonstrating that Mbt1, a polycomb group protein, regulates Neurog2 function. In sum, through my PhD work, I have made significant inroads into deciphering the molecular mechanisms that control the balance between neocortical progenitor cell self-renewal and differentiation.

description: Bennett et al. showed that allowing shared entanglement between a sender and receiver before communication begins dramatically simplifies the theory of quantum channels, and these results suggest that it would be worthwhile to study other scenarios for entanglement-assisted classical communication. In this vein, the present paper makes several contributions to the theory of entanglement-assisted classical communication. First, we rephrase the Giovannetti-Lloyd-Maccone sequential decoding argument as a more general "packing lemma" and show that it gives an alternate way of achieving the entanglement-assisted classical capacity. Next, we show that a similar sequential decoder can achieve the Hsieh-Devetak-Winter region for entanglement-assisted classical communication over a multiple access channel. Third, we prove the existence of a quantum simultaneous decoder for entanglement-assisted classical communication over a multiple access channel with two senders. This result implies a solution of the quantum simultaneous decoding conjecture for unassisted classical communication over quantum multiple access channels with two senders, but the three-sender case still remains open (Sen recently and independently solved this unassisted two-sender case with a different technique). We then leverage this result to recover the known regions for unassisted and assisted quantum communication over a quantum multiple access channel, though our proof exploits a coherent quantum simultaneous decoder. Finally, we determine an achievable rate region for communication over an entanglement-assisted bosonic multiple access channel and compare it with the Yen-Shapiro outer bound for unassisted communication over the same channel.

description: Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) is widely recognized as being beneficial for teachers. Despite the contributions of school psychologists to mathematics education, the MKT possessed by school psychologists has not yet been considered. The current study explores the nature of school psychologists’ (n = 154) MKT pertaining to elementary number and operations. A number of factors were shown to influence school psychologists’ MKT including age, self-efficacy, science-based backgrounds, and mathematical education. Moreover, school psychologists appear to be slightly more mathematically informed in number and operations in comparison to their teacher counterparts. Future research may benefit from evaluating more areas of MKT across a greater number of mathematics domains. Continued research in this area has the potential to ensure that school psychologists are the most effective resource that they can be within schools, thereby improving mathematics education.

description: The character of neonatal nurses’ work is episodic and discontinuous. While nurses play an integral role in mediating the ebb and flow of constantly changing priorities, in the Level 2 Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) their work is also complicated by new technologies, safety work, and institutionally driven quality improvement (QI) projects. As the numbers and types of QI, safety, and standardizing strategies proliferate, they can overwhelm nurses’ responses to infant’s needs, particularly late preterm infants (LPIs) who require less technological interventions during their care in the NICU. An institutional ethnographic approach was used to examine the social organization of nurses’ work with LPIs in Level 2 NICU. Feeding work, a central organizer of nurses’ work, emerged as the main thread of analysis. The data showed that feeding work does not unfold as an orderly, stepwise procedure. Observations revealed how feeding episodes for all infants were broken up by the need for a nurse to attend to technologies developed for ‘safety’ and to meet standardized protocols. The work relies on nurses’ capacity to notice, to respond, to flex, and to adapt. However, nursing tasks are being broken into disparate pieces as nurses become subject to ideological practices that rely on a form of logical/rational thinking about how work can be planned and organized to unfold safely. Often in the milieu of nursing activity, LPIs were viewed ‘out of the corner of nurses’ eyes,’ socially organized to be rendered peripheral to nurses’ full attention. The research findings explicate serious tensions in nurses’ work, particularly with feeding LPIs. The findings call into question the foundations on which standardized protocols and practices are built and offers an opportunity for policy makers, health care leaders, and nurses themselves to understand how neonatal nurses’ work is organized and to begin creative discussions to resolve tensions and to direct further research in Level 2 NICUs.

description: Here we report an ensemble study of 214 A- and F-type stars observed by \textit{Kepler}, exhibiting the so-called \textit{hump and spike} periodic signal, explained by Rossby modes (r~modes) -- the \textit{hump} -- and magnetic stellar spots or overstable convective (OsC) modes -- the \textit{spike} -- respectively. We determine the power confined in the non-resolved hump features and find additional gravity~modes (g~modes) humps always occurring at higher frequencies than the spike. Furthermore, we derive projected rotational velocities from FIES, SONG and HERMES spectra for 28 stars and the stellar inclination angle for 89 stars. We find a strong correlation between the spike amplitude and the power in the r and g~modes, which suggests that both types of oscillations are mechanically excited by either stellar spots or OsC modes. Our analysis suggests that stars with a higher power in $m=1$ r~modes humps are more likely to also exhibit humps at higher azimuthal orders ($m$ = 2, 3, or 4). Interestingly, all stars that show g~modes humps are hotter and more luminous than the observed red edge of the $δ$ Scuti instability strip, suggesting that either magnetic fields or convection in the outer layers could play an important role.

description: Tous les ans, environ 200 nouveaux cas de cancer sont diagnostiqués chez des enfants en Suisse. Si leurs chances de survie sont élevées, ces patients et leurs familles vivent une expérience extrêmement difficile qui les marquent à jamais. Les épreuves qu’ils surmontent sont nombreuses tant sur un plan physique que psychologique et les efforts qu’ils doivent fournir pour faire face aux symptômes liés à la maladie et au traitement sont considérables. Le cancer, pour se développer, puise son énergie dans les ressources de son hôte, raison pour laquelle les besoins énergétiques des patients qui en sont atteints augmentent. De plus, le corps a besoin de plus d’énergie lorsqu’il doit lutter contre une maladie ou qu’il doit cicatriser. Ces deux phénomènes impliquent que le patient doit augmenter ses apports alimentaires pour parvenir à guérir et éviter des complications. Malheureusement, la chimiothérapie anticancéreuse a des effets secondaires qui peuvent empêcher l’enfant de se nourrir correctement : la mucite et les nausées et vomissements. Ces deux symptômes ont un impact énorme sur la qualité de vie du patient, sur son état physique et psychique et sur le bon suivi du traitement. Malgré cela, ils font partie des affections encore difficiles à prévenir et à traiter.
Late Pennsylvanian-Early Permian Stratigraphy, Sedimentology and Paleoceanography of the Sverdrup Basin, NW Ellesmere Island, Arctic Canada

description: The Pennsylvanian-Early Permian carbonate succession of the Sverdrup Basin was studied in Otto Fiord, northwest Ellesmere Island. Seven sections containing shelf carbonates and slope mudrocks and chert were analyzed. The Gzhelian-Kungurian sequence stratigraphy of the basin was revisited based on microfacies analysis and field observations performed in these sections. Two new unconformity-bounded T-R sequences were defined: 1) Sakmarian: composed of the Raanes and contemporaneous Hare Fiord formations; and 2) Artinskian: formed by the Trappers Cove and the bulk of the Great Bear Cape formations. Furthermore, the warm- to cool-water transition in carbonate sedimentation in the basin was analyzed. Based on microfacies analysis of samples from the Nansen and Raanes formations the origin and timing of this shift in sedimentation was discussed. Global warming-enhanced upwelling in Panthalassa is here suggested to be the trigger for this transition. This global warming marks the end of the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age.
Cold Electroweak Baryogenesis in the Two Higgs-Doublet Model

description: We perform the first investigation of cold electroweak baryogenesis in the two Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). The electroweak symmetry breaking transition is assumed to occur through a spinodal instability from a super-cooled initial state. We consider the creation of net Chern-Simons number, which through the axial anomaly is equivalent to baryon number. CP-violation is explicit in the scalar potential, but only in combination with P-violation is it possible for an asymmetry to be generated. This is introduced through the leading C- and P-breaking, but CP-invariant, term expected to arise upon integrating out the fermions in the theory. We perform real-time lattice simulations of the transition, and find the coefficient of this term required for successful bayogenesis.

description: This document contains the questionnaire of the survey entitled PID Service Landscape in the NFDI, which was conducted from April 9 to May 12, 2024 as part of the first phase of PID4NFDI. The survey was designed by the PID4NFDI team, implemented in LimeSurvey and completed by 34 consortia representatives with responsibilities in PID management. The purpose of the survey was to assess the current level of PID adoption and integration among NFDI consortia and to understand their future needs. By identifying these needs and pinpointing existing gaps, the PID4NFDI team aims to develop a cross-cutting PID service that meets the evolving needs of the NFDI community. A detailed report of the survey framework and results can be found in El-Gebali, S., & Böhm, J. (2025). Landscape Analysis of PID Practices in NFDI (1.0).

An optical mechanism for aberration of starlight

description: We present a physical-optics based theory of the physical mechanism for aberration of starlight. We apply non-relativistic and relativistic theories for wavefront image formation and include the effects of optically transmitting media within the sensor. We show that the sensors imaging properties combined with finite velocity of light fully accounts for aberration. That is, the influence of the moving sensor on the incident wavefront from the star fully explains aberration. Our treatment differs from all previous derivations because we include wavefront-imaging physics within the sensor model. Our predictions match Earth-sensor based measurements, but differ at larger sensor speeds from predictions of the special relativistic-based theory. While experimental uncertainty resulting from the low Earth-orbital velocity prevents experimental confirmation of the special relativistic model of aberration, we find that Earth-based sensors containing refractive optical media could experimentally differentiate between these competing descriptions and, in addition, yield an independent test of time dilation. We derive and present the details of such an experiment.

description: Multi-robot platforms are playing an increasingly important role in warehouse automation for efficient goods transport. This paper proposes a novel customization of a multi-robot system, called Tactile Mobile Manipulators (TacMMs). Each TacMM integrates a soft optical tactile sensor and a mobile robot with a load-lifting mechanism, enabling cooperative transportation in tasks requiring coordinated physical interaction. More specifically, we mount the TacTip (biomimetic optical tactile sensor) on the Distributed Organisation and Transport System (DOTS) mobile robot. The tactile information then helps the mobile robots adjust the relative robot-object pose, thereby increasing the efficiency of load-lifting tasks. This study compares the performance of using two TacMMs with tactile perception with traditional vision-based pose adjustment for load-lifting. The results show that the average success rate of the TacMMs (66%) is improved over a purely visual-based method (34%), with a larger improvement when the mass of the load was non-uniformly distributed. Although this initial study considers two TacMMs, we expect the benefits of tactile perception to extend to multiple mobile robots. Website: https://sites.google.com/view/tacmms
