description: We present a lattice calculation of the renormalized running coupling constant in symmetric (MOM) and asymmetric ($\widetilde{\rm MOM}$) momentum substraction schemes including $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks in the sea. An Operator Product Expansion dominated by the dimension-two $\langle A^2\rangle$ condensate is used to fit the running of the coupling. We argue that the agreement in the predicted $\langle A^2\rangle$ condensate for both schemes is a strong support for the validity of the OPE approach and the effect of this non-gauge invariant condensate over the running of the strong coupling.

description: Concepts and methods of complex networks have been employed to uncover patterns in a myriad of complex systems. Unfortunately, the relevance and significance of these patterns strongly depends on the reliability of the data sets. In the study of collaboration networks, for instance, unavoidable noise pervading author's collaboration datasets arises when authors share the same name. To address this problem, we derive a hybrid approach based on authors' collaboration patterns and on topological features of collaborative networks. Our results show that the combination of strategies, in most cases, performs better than the traditional approach which disregards topological features. We also show that the main factor for improving the discriminability of homonymous authors is the average distance between authors. Finally, we show that it is possible to predict the weighting associated to each strategy compounding the hybrid system by examining the discrimination obtained from the traditional analysis of collaboration patterns. Once the methodology devised here is generic, our approach is potentially useful to classify many other networked systems governed by complex interactions.

description: Due to random dopant fluctuations, the device-to-device variability is a serious challenge to emerging nanoelectronics. In this work we present theoretical formalisms and numerical simulations of quantum transport variability, based on the nonequilibrium Green's functions and the multiple scattering theory. We have developed a general formalism using the diagrammatic technique within the coherent potential approximation (CPA) that can be applied to a wide range of disorder concentrations. In addition, we have developed a method by using a perturbative expansion within the low concentration approximation (LCA) that is extremely useful for typical nanoelectronic devices having low dopant concentration. Applying both formalisms, transport fluctuations due to random impurities can be predicted without lengthy brute force computation of ensemble of devices structures. Numerical implementations of the formalisms are demonstrated using both tight-binding models and first principles models.

Detecting Word Transfer in Open Domain Question Answering
Creators: Yadegari, Mostafa
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

There is essential information in the underlying structure of sentences and the relationships between words and phrases in natural language questions, and the use of this information has been extensively studied. This thesis studies the problem of word transfer from questions to answer passages in the context of open-domain question answering. Word transfer happens for both terms that are explicitly mentioned in questions and those that may be implied. On the same basis, this thesis is broken down to two parts.

In the first part of the thesis, we study one particular structure, referred to as {\em frozen phrases}, that is highly expected to transfer as a whole from questions to answer passages. Frozen phrases, if detected, can be helpful in open-domain Question Answering (QA) where identifying the localized context of a given input question is crucial. To identify those phrases, we cast the problem as a sequence-labeling task and create synthetic data from existing QA datasets to train a model. We further plug this model into a sparse retriever that is made aware of the detected phrases. Our experiments reveal that detecting frozen phrases whose presence in answer documents are highly plausible yields significant improvements in retrievals as well as in the end-to-end accuracy of open-domain QA models.

In the second part, a query expansion method is introduced to predict the terms that fall outside of a question but are expected to be found in the answer passages. For this task, we explore the capacity of modern language models under few-shot in-context learning. Our evaluation reveals that the proposed method is quite effective, achieving a new state-of-the-art unsupervised query expansion on Natural Questions dataset.

description: HD 202850 is a late B-type supergiant. It is known that photospheric lines of such stars vary. Due to macroturbulence the lines are much wider than expected. Macroturbulence has been linked to stellar pulsations. It has been reported that there are several B supergiants that undergo pulsations. In our previous work, we detected a pulsational period of 1.59 hours in this object from data taken with the Ondrejov 2-m telescope. We continued to investigate this object and we took several time series with the DAO 1.2-m telescope. Our new data suggest that there may be some additional pulsational periods in this star. We present our new results in this poster.

The Body Exposed: An Analysis of the Performative Body in the Work of Jan Fabre
Creators: Sacca, Karl
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Jan Fabre has been and continues to be one of Europe’s most controversial theatre directors, who never fails to shock the audience with very powerful yet provocative scenes. He has gained world recognition as a theatre director and visual artist, and his productions have been very successful and appraised. Fabre is always looking to learn something new about the human body and likes to experiment with different approaches every chance he gets.

    This thesis provides an in-depth analysis of the performative body on stage by offering a close reading to three of Fabre's productions and one of his projects as a visual artist. The thesis discusses Fabre's experiments with the body, the postdramatic features prevalent in his productions, the use of nudity on stage, and some of Fabre's other provocative strategies. The analysis relies on critical reviews collected from Troubleyn's archive, interviews conducted with Fabre on print or on YouTube, and video recordings of the productions.

    This research highlights the powers of the body and digs deeper into the creative mind of this remarkable contemporary director. It also connects all three productions that might seem very different in themes and context but are very similar in terms of its approach to the performance of body, the creation process, and audience and critical reception.

description: We present a theoretical analysis of the relaxation cascade of a photoexcited electron in graphene in the presence of RPA screened electron-electron interaction. We calculate the relaxation rate of high energy electrons and the jump-size distribution of the random walk constituting the cascade which exhibits fat tails. We find that the statistics of the entire cascade are described by Lévy flights with constant drift instead of standard drift-diffusion in energy space. The Lévy flight manifests nontrivial scaling relations of the fluctuations in the cascade time, which is related to the problem of the first passage time of Lévy processes. Furthermore we determine the transient differential transmission of graphene after an excitation by a laser pulse taking into account the fractional kinetics of the relaxation dynamics.

Document Image Cleaning using Budget-Aware Black-Box Approximation
Creators: Tata, Ganesh
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Recent work has shown that by approximating the behaviour of a non-differentiable black-box function using a neural network, the black-box can be integrated into a differentiable training pipeline for end-to-end training. This methodology is termed "differentiable bypass," and a successful application of this method involves training a document preprocessor to improve the performance of a black-box OCR engine. However, a good approximation of an OCR engine requires querying it for all samples throughout the training process, which can be computationally and financially expensive. Several zeroth-order optimization (ZO) algorithms have been proposed in black-box attack literature to find adversarial examples for a black-box model by computing its gradient in a query-efficient manner. However, the query complexity and convergence rate of such algorithms makes them infeasible for our problem. In this work, we propose two sample selection algorithms to train an OCR preprocessor with less than 10% of the original system's OCR engine queries, resulting in more than 60% reduction of the total training time without significant loss of accuracy. We also show an improvement of 4% in the word-level accuracy of a commercial OCR engine with only 2.5% of the total queries and a 32x reduction in monetary cost. Moreover, we propose a simple ranking technique to prune 30% of the document images from the training dataset without significantly affecting the system's performance. Finally, we demonstrate that the history of OCR engine predictions for each sample throughout the training process further improves the system's performance in a low query setting.

description: We discuss the specificity of searches for hypothetical $W^{\prime}$, $Z^{\prime}$ and $γ^{\prime}$ bosons at hadron colliders in single top quark and $μ^{+}ν_μ$ production and Drell-Yan processes assuming these particles to be the Kaluza-Klein excitations of the gauge bosons of the Standard Model. In this case any process mediated by $W$ is also mediated by the whole KK tower of its excitations, whereas to the processes mediated by $Z$ and $γ$ there is not only a contribution from their KK towers, but also from that of the graviton. The contributions of the towers above $W^{\prime}$, $Z^{\prime}$ and $γ^{\prime}$ and above the first excitation of the graviton are included with the help of effective four-fermion Lagrangians. We compute the cross-sections of these processes taking into account the contributions of the Standard Model gauge bosons, of their first KK modes and of the corresponding KK towers and discuss the impact of the interference between them. For pp-collisions at the LHC with the center of mass energy 14 TeV we found specific changes of the distribution tails due to the interference effects. Such a modification of distribution tails is characteristic for the processes mediated by particles coming from extra dimensions and should always be taken into account when looking for them.

Unpaired Document Image Denoising for OCR using BiLSTM enhanced CycleGAN
Creators: Singh, Katyani
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

The recognition performance of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) models can be sub-optimal when document images suffer from various degradations. Supervised learning-based methods for image enhancement can generate high-quality enhanced images. However, these methods require the availability of corresponding clean images or ground truth text for training. Moreover, the paired training data used for training these models is usually generated by adding different types of synthetic noise to clean images. Real-world noise is more challenging and complex in nature compared to synthetic noise. To effectively enhance real-world noisy images, the models must be trained using real noisy images. However, it is infeasible to have corresponding clean images for real-world noisy images, and creating ground truth text requires manual effort. Unsupervised methods have been explored in recent years, focusing on enhancing natural scene images. In the case of document images, preserving the readability of text in the enhanced images is of utmost importance for improved OCR performance. In this thesis, we explore the possibility of enhancing documents in an unsupervised setting using unpaired training samples. To this end, we propose a modified architecture for the standard CycleGAN model to improve its performance in enhancing document images with better text preservation. The results indicate that the proposed model leads to better preservation of text and improved OCR performance compared to the CycleGAN model and classical unsupervised image preprocessing techniques like Sauvola and Otsu.

description: We introduce and study extensions of the varying alpha theory of Bekenstein-Sandvik-Barrow-Magueijo to allow for an arbitrary coupling function and self-interaction potential term in the theory. We study the full evolution equations without assuming that variations in alpha have a negligible effect on the expansion scale factor and the matter density evolution, as was assumed in earlier studies. The background FRW cosmology of this model in the cases of zero and non-zero spatial curvature is studied in detail, using dynamical systems techniques, for a wide class of potentials and coupling functions. All the asymptotic behaviours are found, together with some new solutions. We study the cases where the electromagnetic parameter, zeta, is positive and negative, corresponding to magnetic and electrostatic energy domination in the non-relativistic matter. In particular, we investigate the cases where the scalar field driving alpha variations has exponential and power-law self-interaction potentials and the behaviour of theories where the coupling constant between matter and alpha variations is no longer a constant.

description: Interest in light dark matter candidates has recently increased in the literature; some of these works consider the role of additional neutrinos, either active or sterile. Furthermore, extragalactic neutrinos have been detected with energies higher than have ever been reported before. This opens a new window of opportunities to the study of neutrino properties that were unreachable up to now. We investigate how an interaction potential between neutrinos and dark matter might induce a resonant enhancement in the oscillation probability, an effect that may be tested with future neutrino data.

description: We generalize our holographic derivation of spontaneous angular momentum generation in 2 + 1 dimensions in several directions. We consider cases when a parity violating perturbation responsible for the angular momentum generation can be non-marginal (while in our previous paper we restricted to a marginal perturbation), including all possible two-derivative interactions, with parity violations triggered both by gauge and gravitational Chern-Simons terms in the bulk. We make only a minimal assumption about the bulk geometry that it is asymptotically AdS, respects the Poincaré symmetry in 2 + 1 dimensions, and has a horizon. In this generic setup, we find a remarkably concise and universal formula for the expectation value of the angular momentum density, to all orders in the parity violating perturbation.

description: As our lives become more intertwined with the digital landscape, an increasing number of individuals are relying on the internet and social media as their main sources of health information. Currently, there is a dearth of knowledge on how the Asian community interacts with digital health information, specifically in the context of social media.
In this thesis, a 10-week social media campaign was implemented with the goal of increasing the percentage of Asian participants in the Stanford Research Registry - platforms utilized include Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter through the Stanford Center for Asian Health Research and Education accounts. Participant data was disaggregated by race and ethnicity in order to better understand the diversity among Asian subgroups.
The percentage of Asian participants increased from 14.26% at baseline to 23.83% at the end of the campaign (525 Asian identifying individuals to 1,871). The greatest increase occurred during the General Outreach phase which utilized all channels of outreach available. Frequencies of Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese ethnicities were higher in the Multi-Ethnic category compared to their corresponding monoethnic group.
Social media is a powerful tool that can be leveraged for targeted recruitment – in this study we see how it can increase diversity amongst research participants and potentially be used as an effective tool for information dissemination. This work can be expanded in the future by looking into other social media platforms that are more targeted towards Asian populations and by disaggregating the data even further to fully understand the diversity present in the Asian population.

We propose that their spatial structure is mathematically encoded as information in their momentum modes and described by a measure known as configurational entropy (CE). Investigating solitonic Q-balls and stars with a polytropic equation of state $P = Kρ^γ$, we show that objects with large binding energy have low CE, whereas those at the brink of instability (zero binding energy) have near maximal CE. In particular, we use the CE to find the critical charge allowing for classically stable Q-balls and the Chandrasekhar limit for white dwarfs $(γ = 4/3)$ with an accuracy of a few percent.

description: We address the non-Markovian character of quantum maps describing the interaction of a qubit with a random classical field. In particular, we evaluate trace- and capacity-based non-Markovianity measures for two relevant classes of environments showing non-Gaussian fluctuations, described respectively by random telegraph noise and colored noise with spectra of the the form $1/f^α$. We analyze the dynamics of both the trace distance and the quantum capacity, and show that the behavior of non-Markovianity based on both measures is qualitatively similar. Our results show that environments with a spectrum that contains a relevant low-frequency contribution are generally non-Markovian. We also find that the non-Markovianity of colored environments decreases when the number of fluctuators realizing the environment increases.

A qualitative study of teen mothers’ experiences accessing mental health services
Creators: Puinean, Giulia
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

The transition to motherhood carries significant challenges. Teen mothers, in particular, are disproportionately impacted by mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression, compounded by criticism, judgement, and stereotyping from others in the community. If not addressed, mental health challenges can negatively affect maternal well-being and child development outcomes. Many teen parents and their children thrive with the proper support, and it is important to explore how they can achieve positive mental health. This study was led in collaboration with the Terra Centre, a non-profit organization that has been supporting pregnant and parenting teens in Edmonton for more than 50 years.

Using a community-based research approach and qualitative descriptive design, this study aimed to answer the following questions: (1) What are teen mothers’ experiences with accessing and receiving mental health services? (2) How are mental health services provided to teen mothers? And (3) How can mental health service providers best meet teen mothers’ unique needs? Participants included five young mothers and one father served by the Terra Centre, and three full-time therapists working at the organization.

Findings highlight the importance of the therapeutic relationship, where trust and mutual respect are essential for continued engagement. Participants identified attributes of an ideal provider such as being present, laid-back, and respectful of boundaries. Therapists touched on their experiences working with this population and outlined Terra’s approach to mental health service provision, which was said to be flexible, relational, responsive, and growth-oriented. Altogether, these findings contribute to our understanding of barriers and facilitators to accessing mental health services, with key implications for better supporting the mental health needs of teen parents.

When $0 < t \le 1$, the known theory of positive-definite kernels ensures that the operator is positive-definite; when $t > 1$, constructions disprove positive-definiteness for many $(t, a)$-pairs.

Sasa, June 22, reared from caterpillar feeding in flowers of A.belmoschus esculentus, Usinger; Piti, July 8, at light, Swezey; Piti, Sept. 17, Oct. 10, reared from caterpillars boring the tips of branches of a weed, Malachra capitata, Swezey. This moth is distributed from India and Ceylon to Burma, Java, Andaman Islands, Philippines, Australia, and Fiji. In India, it is called the cotton bollworm on account of the injury to cotton bolls by its caterpillars. In Guam, it was recorded by Fullaway in 1911 as a stem borer in cotton. We reared the moths from caterpillars mostly on weeds.

description: A mass of traces of human activities show diverse dynamic patterns. In this paper, we comprehensively investigate the dynamic pattern of human attention defined by the quantity of interests on subdisciplines in an online academic communication forum. Both the expansion and exploration of human attention have a power-law scaling relation with browsing actions, of which the exponent is close to that in one-dimension random walk. Furthermore, the memory effect of human attention is characterized by the power-law distributions of both the return interval time and return interval steps, which is reinforced by studying the attention shift that monotonically increase with the interval order between pairs of continuously segmental sequences of expansion. At last, the observing dynamic pattern of human attention in the browsing process is analytically described by a dynamic model whose generic mechanism is analogy to that of human spatial mobility. Thus, our work not only enlarges the research scope of human dynamics, but also provides an insight to understand the relationship between the interest transitivity in online activities and human spatial mobility in real world.

description: We study the phase diagram of a holographic model realizing a U(2) global symmetry on the boundary and show that at low temperature a phase with both scalar s and vector p condensates exists. This is the s+p-wave phase where the global U(2) symmetry and also the spatial rotational symmetry are spontaneously broken. By studying the free energy we show that this phase is preferred when it exists. We also consider unbalanced configurations where a second chemical potential is turned on. They present a rich phase diagram characterized by the competition and coexistence of the s and p order parameters.

Temperature dependent weak value of dwell time for a two state particle tunneling through a thermal magnetic barrier

description: Dwell time for a two state particle tunneling through a noisy thermal magnetic barrier has been calculated by studying the time evolution of the system. The effect of temperature has been included by averaging over the environmental magnetic modes. The time scale has been calculated in the framework of weak measurement. The dwell time initially increases with the rise of temperature and finally saturates. The increment of dwell time can be explained by the phenomena of quantum memory loss caused by efficient energy exchange with the environmental modes. The saturation region at higher temperature corresponds to the process of thermal hopping of the barrier.

Smoking

description: Smoking is a major health risk that affects both smokers and non-smokers. Although extensive studies on smoking, mostly quantitative, have been carried out worldwide, little is known about the smoking phenomenon in the Philippines, especially in rural areas, wherein smoking is highly prevalent. Through the sociocultural lens, this qualitative study was undertaken using the narrative approach to identify the meaning of smoking among the farmworkers of Sitio Lalawan, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon. Individual open interview among seven participants was used as the means for data collection. The interview transcripts were then analyzed through restorying and narrative thematic analysis, which yielded five themes, representing their meanings of smoking. For the farmworkers, smoking was a parent and peer’s influence, a means to manage negative feelings and emotions, a thought provoker and organizer, a culture among friends, and an integral part of life. These findings demonstrated that family and peer smoking resulted in behavior modeling. Smoking was a coping mechanism when they experienced all types of life problems that caused stress. Smoking aided them at work by improving their mental capacities, thereby boosting productivity and efficiency. Socializing with smoker friends formed a culture, wherein they observed social norms, namely smoking while conversing, sharing cigarettes, and looking for ways to obtain cigarettes or find their alternatives. Ultimately, smoking was an inseparable component of their lives; it is attributed to the previously mentioned meanings alongside nicotine dependence, perceived ill outcomes of smoking cessation, and the absence of perceptible evidence, displayed by family members who smoked, that smoking damages the health. In conclusion, smoking is their life and breaking it would seriously result in unweaving the social fabric that binds the members of the farming community. Public health experts, concerned agencies, development communication practitioners, and the local government unit of Malaybalay are enjoined to consider these findings in crafting or improving smoking cessation programs and campaigns and strengthening current smoking policies intended for the farmworkers.

On Type 0 Open String Amplitudes and the Tensionless Limit

description: The sum over planar multi-loop diagrams in the NS+ sector of type 0 open strings in flat spacetime has been proposed by Thorn as a candidate to resolve non-perturbative issues of gauge theories in the large $N$ limit. With $SU (N)$ Chan-Paton factors, the sum over planar open string multi-loop diagrams describes the 't Hooft limit $N\to \infty$ with $Ng_s^2$ held fixed. By including only planar diagrams in the sum the usual mechanism for the cancellation of loop divergences (which occurs, for example, among the planar and Möbius strip diagrams by choosing a specific gauge group) is not available and a renormalization procedure is needed. In this article the renormalization is achieved by suspending total momentum conservation by an amount $p\equiv \sum_i^n k_i\neq 0$ at the level of the integrands in the integrals over the moduli and analytically continuing them to $p=0$ at the very end. This procedure has been successfully tested for the 2 and 3 gluon planar loop amplitudes by Thorn. Gauge invariance is respected and the correct running of the coupling in the limiting gauge field theory was also correctly obtained. In this article we extend those results in two directions. First, we generalize the renormalization method to an arbitrary $n$-gluon planar loop amplitude giving full details for the 4-point case. One of our main results is to provide a fully renormalized amplitude which is free of both UV and the usual spurious divergences leaving only the physical singularities in it. Second, using the complete renormalized amplitude, we extract the high-energy scattering regime at fixed angle (tensionless limit). Apart from obtaining the usual exponential falloff at high energies, we compute the full dependence on the scattering angle which shows the existence of a smooth connection between the Regge and hard scattering regimes.
