description: We explicitly find the minima as well as the minimum points of the geodesic length functions for the family of filling (hence non-simple) closed curves, $a^2b^n$ ($n\ge 3$), on a complete one-holed hyperbolic torus in its relative Teichmüller space, where $a, b$ are simple closed curves on the one-holed torus which intersect exactly once transversely. This provides concrete examples for the problem to minimize the geodesic length of a fixed filling closed curve on a complete hyperbolic surface of finite type in its relative Teichmüller space.

description: A bending based approach for the preforming of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) tapes has been implemented at wbk Institute of Production Science. In early experimentation, it became evident that the process requires regular adaption of process parameters in order to meet the desired quality level. To limit the manual effort, the parameter variation and process characterization should be automated. In this paper, an approach for the automatic parameter identification and tuning through systematic variation combined with optical process measurement is presented. The functionality of the measurement system as well as the parameter identification and error compensation are described.

description: The asymptotic behaviour of solutions to $y'(x)=\cos[πx y(x)]$ was investigated by Bender, Fring and Komijani \cite{BenderEtAl:2014}. They found, for example, a relation between the initial value $y(0)=a$ and the number of maxima that the solution exhibited. We present an alternative derivation of the asymptotic results that looks at the solutions in the regions $xy$, and confirms the behaviour found previously for larger values of $a$. This method uses the small amplitude and high frequency of the oscillatory behaviour in the region $x

description: Optomechanical systems provide a pathway for the bidirectional optical-to-microwave interconversion in (quantum) networks. We demonstrate the implementation of this functionality and non-adiabatic optomechanical control in a single, $μ$m-sized potential trap for phonons and exciton-polariton condensates in a structured semiconductor microcavity. The exciton-enhanced optomechanical coupling leads to self-oscillations (phonon lasing) -- thus proving reversible photon-to-phonon conversion. We show that these oscillations are a signature of the optomechanical strong coupling signalizing the emergence of elusive phonon-exciton-photon quasiparticles -- the phonoritons. We then demonstrate full control of the phonoriton spectrum as well as coherent microwave-to-photon interconversion using electrically generated GHz-vibrations and a resonant optical laser beam. These findings establish the zero-dimensional polariton condensates as a scalable coherent interface between microwave and optical domains with enhanced microwave-to-mechanical and mechanical-to-optical coupling rates.

description: This paper describes the TSUP team's submission to the ISCSLP 2022 conversational short-phrase speaker diarization (CSSD) challenge which particularly focuses on short-phrase conversations with a new evaluation metric called conversational diarization error rate (CDER). In this challenge, we explore three kinds of typical speaker diarization systems, which are spectral clustering(SC) based diarization, target-speaker voice activity detection(TS-VAD) and end-to-end neural diarization(EEND) respectively. Our major findings are summarized as follows. First, the SC approach is more favored over the other two approaches under the new CDER metric. Second, tuning on hyperparameters is essential to CDER for all three types of speaker diarization systems. Specifically, CDER becomes smaller when the length of sub-segments setting longer. Finally, multi-system fusion through DOVER-LAP will worsen the CDER metric on the challenge data. Our submitted SC system eventually ranks the third place in the challenge.

description: We utilize the lepton number violation signal process $p\, e^- \to τ^+ jjj$ to search for heavy Majorana neutrinos at future proton-electron colliders. The LHeC (FCC-eh) is considered to run with an electron beam energy of 60 GeV, a proton beam energy of 7 (50) TeV and an integrated luminosity of 1 (3) ab$^{-1}$, and the electron beam is considered to be unpolarized. We apply detector configurations and simulate signal and related standard model background events for both hadronic $τ_h$ and leptonic $τ_\ell$ final states, $\ell$ being a muon. After preselection, multivariate analyses are performed to reject the background. The strategy to reconstruct the heavy neutrino mass is developed and distributions of reconstructed mass are presented. Discovery sensitivities on parameter $|V_{τN}|^2 |V_{eN}|^2 / ( |V_{τN}|^2 + |V_{eN}|^2 )$ for the heavy neutrino mass between 10 and 3000 GeV are predicted. At the 2-$σ$ significance, the best discovery sensitivity is $\sim 1.2 \times10^{-5} \,\,(5.0 \times 10^{-6})$ at the LHeC (FCC-eh) when $m_N \sim 100$ GeV for the hadronic $τ_h$ final state. Sensitivities for the leptonic $τ_\ell$ final state are found to be similar to those for the hadronic $τ_h$ final state for most of the parameter space investigated. We also derive the limits on mixing parameters from electroweak precision data (EWPD) and DELPHI experiment. Assuming $|V_{τN}|^2 = |V_{eN}|^2 = |V_{\ell N}|^2$, sensitivity bounds from the LHeC and FCC-eh experiments are found to be stronger than those from EWPD when $m_N \lesssim 900$ GeV, and also stronger than those from DELPHI when $m_N \gtrsim 70$ GeV. Constraints are also interpreted and compared in the $|V_{τN}|^2$ vs. $|V_{e N}|^2$ plane.

description: In this paper we use the MareNostrum Universe Simulation, a large scale, hydrodynamic, non-radiative simulation in combination with a simple abundance matching approach to determine the ram pressure statistics for bent radio sources (BRSs). The abundance matching approach allows us to determine the locations of all galaxies with stellar masses $> 10^{11} MSol$ in the simulation volume. Assuming ram pressure exceeding a critical value causes bent morphology, we compute the ratio of all galaxies exceeding the ram pressure limit (RPEX galaxies) relative to all galaxies in our sample. According to our model 50% of the RPEX galaxies at $z = 0$ are found in clusters with masses larger than $10^{14.5}MSol$ the other half resides in lower mass clusters. Therefore, the appearance of bent tail morphology alone does not put tight constraints on the host cluster mass. In low mass clusters, $M < 10^{14}MSol$, RPEX galaxies are confined to the central 500 kpc whereas in clusters of $> 10^{15}Msol$ they can be found at distances up to 1.5Mpc. Only clusters with masses $> 10^{15}MSol $ are likely to host more than one BRS. Both criteria may prove useful in the search for distant, high mass clusters.

description: Because of the difficulty in detecting final state taus, the mixing parameter $|V_{τN}|^2$ for heavy neutrino $N$ is not well studied at current experiments, compared with other mixing parameters $|V_{e N}|^2$ and $|V_{μN}|^2$. In this paper, we focus on a challenging scenario where $N$ mixes with active neutrino of tau flavour only, i.e. $ |V_{τN}|^2 \neq 0 $ and $|V_{e N}|^2 = |V_{μN}|^2 = 0$. We derive current constraints on $|V_{τN}|^2$ from the rare $Z$-boson decay and electroweak precision data (EWPD). To forecast the future limits, we also investigate the signal $p p \to τ^{\pm} τ^{\pm} j j $ via a Majorana heavy neutrino at future proton-proton colliders. To suppress the background, both taus are required to decay leptonically into muons, leading to the final state containing two same sign muons, at least two jets plus moderate missing energy. The signal and relevant background processes are simulated at the HL-LHC and SppC/FCC-hh with center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV and 100 TeV. The preselection and multivariate analyses based on machine-learning are performed to reduce background. Limits on $|V_{τN}|^2$ are shown for heavy neutrino mass in the range 10-1000 GeV based on measurements from the rare $Z$-boson decay and EWPD, and searches at the HL-LHC and SppC/FCC-hh with integrated luminosities of 3 and 20 ab$^{-1}$.

description: When Islamic or Christian religious leaders encountered the indigenous beliefs of Indonesia known today as Kejawen, Kepercayaan, or Kebathinan in Java, various engagements took place. Outsiders often view that folk indigenous beliefs among others are syncretistic, superstitious, pantheistic, or simplistic. Yet, their leaders produce numerous sophisticated spiritual texts that among others enable them to survive holding their spiritual views persistently while continuously influencing believers of various formal religions while frequently facing marginalization. In 1925, a book called Serat Suluk Pawestri Samariyah was published in Central Java. The author transforms the narrative of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman into Javanese grand poetry or canto called Macapat. The article explores questions concerning the writer’s faithfulness in maintaining the message of the original source, the enrichment, and the impact of his work. Through literary form analysis and narrative interpretation, several results show that the author dares to deviate from the narrative to enter a mutual enrichment process yet, he maintains a faithfulness to the core of Christology, and gives hints of a sophisticated method to be replicated in cross-cultural hermeneutic or contextualization process.

Microwave Absorption of Multifunctional Graphene Based Polylactide Acid Composites: Experimental and Numerical Study
Creators: Dua, Mahima
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Thermoplastic polymer piping is increasingly used in a variety of industries. Thermoplastics permit fusion bonding for the joining of pipe sections, which can be performed using joule heating. However, embedding heating wires into the plastic adds fabrication complexity and expenditure. Moreover, joule heating enables only localized heat input that requires moderation to avoid damage in polymers. Another key factor linked to failure with this joining method is joint misalignment. Microwave heating may compensate for these inadequacies, resulting in shorter fusing times, improved heating uniformity, and lower electricity use. This study explores the use of pure graphene nanoplatelets (pGNP) and functionalized GNP (fGNP) to create multifunctional polylactide acid (PLA) composites for high microwave absorption. GNP was treated with tannic acid to produce fGNP. A two-step scalable fabrication procedure, consisting of solution blending followed by hot compression molding was used to obtain the pGNP/PLA and fGNP/PLA composites. The concentration of GNP and fGNP in the composites ranged from 0 to 8 wt%. The resulting composites were characterized for their heat capacity, thermal and electrical conductivity, and complex permittivity. Thermal imaging was used to investigate the efficacy of microwave heating in pGNP/PLA and fGNP/PLA samples as a function of microwave power and filler weight fractions. Multi-physics finite element software was used to explore and simulate the microwave heating mechanism in GNP composites. The experimental results were compared to numerical model predictions for maximum temperature and microwave energy absorbed. The produced nanocomposites were found to exhibit strong microwave absorption and thus rapid heating, making this type of composite a promising candidate for gasket materials that facilitate fusion bonding in thermoplastic-based piping via localized heating.

description: Context: Observations of scattered light in the 1-5 $μ$m range have revealed dust grains in molecular cores with sizes larger than commonly inferred for the diffuse interstellar medium. It is currently unclear whether these grains are grown within the molecular cores or are an ubiquitous component of the interstellar medium. Aims: We investigate whether the large grains necessary for efficient scattering at 1-5 mum are associated with the abundance of water-ice within molecular clouds and cores. Methods: We combined water-ice abundance measurements for sight lines through the Lupus IV molecular cloud complex with measurements of the scattered light at 3.6 mum for the same sight lines. Results: We find that there is a similar threshold for the cores in emission in scattered light at 3.6 mum (tau_9.7=0.15pm0.05, A_K=0.4pm0.2 as water-ice (tau_9.7=0.11pm0.01, A_K=0.19pm0.04) and that the scattering efficiency increases as the relative water-ice abundance increases. The ice layer increases the average grain size, which again strongly increases the albedo. Conclusions: The higher scattering efficiency is partly due to layering of ice on the dust grains. Although the layer can be relatively thin it can enhance the scattering substantially.

description: We present a novel, power and hardware efficient, antenna system leveraging the eigenmodes of the over-the-air propagation matrix from an active multi-antenna feeder (AMAF) to a large reflective intelligent surface (RIS), both configured as standard linear arrays and placed in the near field of each other. We demonstrate the flexibility of the proposed architecture by showing that it is capable of generating radiation patterns for multiple applications such as very narrow beams with low side lobes for space-division multiple access communications, wide-angle beams for short range automotive sensing and sectorial beaconing, and monopulse patterns for radar angular tracking. A key parameter in our design is the AMAF-RIS distance which must be optimized and it is generally much less than the Rayleigh distance. For a given AMAF aperture, the optimal AMAF-RIS distance increases as a function of the RIS size. The AMAF-RIS loss is compensated almost exactly by the larger aperture gain of the RIS leading to almost constant RIS gain with increasing RIS sizes. This allows to choose different beam angular selectivities with the same center beam gain. Active RF amplification is done at the AMAF only, thus resulting in a much higher power efficiency and much lower hardware complexity than conventional phased arrays with same beamforming performance.

description: Manufacturing companies operating in global production networks face rising complexities and increasing susceptibilities to disruptions. For coping with disruptions, companies are in need of a holistic, comprehensive disruption management, involving all network actors to find optimal measures. However, today’s disruption management approaches are characterized by intuitive, experienced-based reactions, limiting themselves to solely the production or the logistics perspective and hence not permitting an overarching reaction. Therefore, this paper presents an integrated approach to disruption management, combining the production and logistics perspectives. It incorporates DoE and metamodelling methods in a simulation model to enable efficient, robust decision-making in highly complex environments.

Subcritical Water Hydrolysis of Citrus Pectin, Pea Protein Concentrate, and Their Mixture for Oligosaccharide and Peptide Production
Creators: Vo, Hung Ha Phuoc
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Bioactive oligosaccharides and peptides have drawn great attention due to reported health benefits such as antidiabetic, anti-obesity, anticancer, anti-hypertensive, and antioxidant. The most common methods to produce oligosaccharides and peptides are enzymatic and acid hydrolysis which have multiple disadvantages such as being environmentally harmful, time consuming, expensive, and using complicated procedures. Therefore, the main objective of this thesis was to evaluate subcritical water processing as an ecofriendly technology to hydrolyze pectin and pea protein concentrate to obtain oligosaccharides and peptides, respectively. In the first study, citrus pectin was hydrolyzed at 135-200oC and 50 bar for 10-60 min using subcritical water, modified by either malic acid or citric acid, to obtain hexuronic acids and pectic oligosaccharides. The contents of hexuronic acids, pectic oligosaccharides, rhamnose, and the antioxidant activity of the obtained hydrolysates were determined. The results showed that with increasing temperature, the content of hexuronic acid significantly enhanced up to 0.63 g/g pectin at 200oC/50 bar/10 min in aqueous citric acid media. The main oligosaccharide in the hydrolysates was arabino-oligosaccharide with the highest content obtained at 160oC/50 bar/20 min with a molecular weight of 2.65 kDa. The main monosaccharide in the hydrolysates was rhamnose, which content increased at elevated temperature with a maximum value of 0.075 g/g pectin at 180oC/50 bar/10 min. In the second study, citrus pectin was added as a catalyst for pea protein concentrate hydrolysis due to its ability of releasing hexuronic acids into the media to obtain bioactive peptides. Subcritical water at 160-240oC and 50 bar for 10-60 min was employed. The degree of hydrolysis, the peptide size distribution, the hydrolysate antioxidant activity, the amino acid profile, the fluorescence intensity, and the total protein/peptide/amino acid content were determined. The degree of hydrolysis improved with increasing temperature with the highest value of 64.8% at 220oC/50 bar/10 min

using pectin as the catalyst compared to citric acid (27.2%). The peptide with molecular weight of 4.1 kDa was the dominant peptide in the hydrolysate. The DPPH- scavenging activity of protein hydrolysates using citric acid was significantly higher than the ones obtained with pectin. The hydrolysates with pectin, on the other hand, had significantly higher ferric reducing antioxidant activity than the ones obtained with citric acid, indicating that pectin and citric acid catalyzed the hydrolysis reaction in different patterns to produce peptides capable of accepting and donating hydrogen atoms, respectively

An Equal-Size Hard EM Algorithm for Multi-Decoder Dialogue Generation
Creators: Wen, Yuqiao
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Building intelligent open-domain dialogue systems is a long-standing goal of artificial intelligence. These systems, also known as chatbots, aim to hold conversations with humans in an open-ended fashion. However, it is well known that standard encoder-decoder dialogue systems tend to generate generic responses. A previous study hypothesizes that this phenomenon is due to the one-to-many mapping in the open-domain dialogue task, where the target distribution is multi-modal. As a result, standard cross-entropy training fails as it learns an overly smoothed function that causes the mode averaging problem.

In this work, we address the mode averaging issue with a multi-decoder model, where each decoder can cover a subset of the modes. We treat the choice of the decoder as a latent variable and apply EM-like algorithms. However, we observe that

traditional Hard-EM and Soft-EM may not perform well due to the collapse issue: the decoders fail to specialize and the multi-decoder model degenerates to a single-decoder model. To this end, we propose EqHard-EM, which is an EM variant that assigns an equal number of samples to every decoder to alleviate the collapse issue. Results show that our EqHard-EM algorithm achieves significant improvements over single-decoder models in terms of both response quality and diversity. In addition, extensive analyses show that our EqHard-EM algorithm indeed alleviates the collapse issue: different decoders are specialized and generate diverse responses.

description: One of the major unsolved problems in Solar Physics is that of CME initiation. In this paper, we have studied the initiation of a flare associated CME which occurred on 2010 November 03 using multi-wavelength observations recorded by Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI). We report an observation of an inflow structure initially in 304~Å and in 1600~Å images, a few seconds later. This inflow strucure was detected as one of the legs of the CME. We also observed a non-thermal compact source concurrent and near co-spatial with the brightening and movement of the inflow structure. The appearance of this compact non-thermal source, brightening and movement of the inflow structure and the subsequent outward movement of the CME structure in the corona led us to conclude that the CME initiation was caused by magnetic reconnection.

description: Two courses, one in Dentistry and one in Nursing, utilized gated learning pathways in Sakai in the 22-23 academic year. These gated paths required learners to complete a specific task before they could move on in the course. For this presentation, we aim to (1) demonstrate how to set up gated pathways in Sakai and (2) discuss benefits of utilizing gated paths. Having initially attempted this approach in two courses, we can share preliminary analytical data and qualitative data from students and faculty.
Optical sensors for dissolved sulfur dioxide

description: Colorimetric sensing membranes for the determination of sulfur dioxide were developed and characterized. These films can be used for sensing trace amounts of sulfur dioxide both in the gas phase and in aqueous solutions. Lipophilic pH indicator ion pairs were immobilized in hydrophobic gas-permeable silicone and phenyl substituted ormosil. On exposure to SO₂ the films undergo a visually detectable color change from blue to yellow. No cross-sensitivity to pH and CO₂ was observed. Response times depend on the thickness of the sensing membranes, the indicator concentration in the film as well as on the respective SO₂ concentration. Membranes with response times of < 1 min (t₉o) were developed. The sensitivity to sulfur dioxide depends on the pKa of the indicator. An increase in the pKa results in a lower detection limit. The new optical SO₂ sensors are chemically and mechanically stable and are easy to manufacture. The storage stability of the membranes is at least 7 months if stored in the dark.

description: The PREX and the CREX group reported their skin values. Using the Love-Franey (LF) $t$-matrix folding model with the neutron and proton densities scaled to the neutron radius $r_{\rm n}^{208}({\rm PREX2})$ and the proton radius of the electron scattering, we found that the model reproduces $σ_R$ for p+ $^{208}$Pb scattering at $E_{\rm lab} = 534.1, 549, 806$MeV. Zenihiro {\it el al. } deduce neutron radii $r_{\rm n}^{48,40}({\rm exp})$ from proton elastic scattering, whereas we determine $r_{\rm m}^{\rm 40}({\rm exp})=3.361 \pm 0.075$fm from measured $σ_R$ for $^{4}$He+ $^{40}$Ca scattering. Our first aim is to determine $r_{\rm skin}^{\rm 208}$ from measured $σ_R$ of p+$^{208}$Pb scattering at $E_{\rm lab} = 534.1, 549, 806$MeV by using the LF $t$-matrix folding model. Our second aim is to determine $r_{\rm skin}^{\rm 48}$ from the $r_{\rm m}^{\rm 40}({\rm exp})$ and $Δ\equiv r_{\rm m}^{\rm 48}({\rm exp})-r_{\rm m}^{\rm 40}({\rm exp})$ that is evaluated from the $r_{\rm n}^{48,40}({\rm exp})$ and the $r_{\rm p}^{48,40}({\rm exp})$ calculated with the isotope shift method based on the electron scattering. For the first aim, we use the LF $t$-matrix model with the densities scaled from the D1S-GHFB+AMP neutron density. The D1M-GHFB+AMP is used to estimate a theoretical error. The resulting skin values are $r_{\rm skin}^{\rm 208}= 0.324 \pm 0.047$fm for D1S and $r_{\rm skin}^{\rm 208}({\rm exp})=0.333 \pm 0.047 $fm for D1M. The $Δ=0.109$fm and $r_{\rm m}^{\rm 40}({\rm exp})=3.361 \pm 0.075$fm yield $r_{\rm m}^{\rm 48}=3.470 \pm 0.075$fm, leading to $r_{\rm skin}^{\rm 48}=0.144 \pm 0.075$fm. We conclude that $r_{\rm skin}^{208}({\rm exp})=0.324 \pm (0.047)_{\rm exp} \pm (0.009)_{\rm th}~{\rm fm}$ for p scattering at $E_{\rm lab} = 534.1, 549, 806$MeV. Our skin values are consistent with the PREX2 and CREX values.

description: The recent synthesis of the chromium selenide compound LiCrSe$_2$ constitutes a valuable addition to the ensemble of two-dimensional triangular lattice antiferromagnets (2D-TLA). In this work we present the very first comprehensive study of the combined low temperature nuclear and magnetic structure established in this material. Details on the connection between Li-ion dynamics and structural changes are also presented along with a direct link between atomic structure and spin order via a strong magnetoelastic coupling. LiCrSe$_2$ was found to undergo a first order structural transition from a trigonal crystal system with space group $P\bar{3}m1$ to a monoclinic one with space group $C2/m$ at $T_{\rm s}=30$~K. Such restructuring of the lattice is accompanied by a magnetic transition at $T_{\rm N}=30$~K, with the formation of a complex spin arrangement for the Cr$^{3+}$ moments. Refinement of the magnetic structure with neutron diffraction data and complementary muon spin rotation analysis reveal the presence of two incommensurate magnetic domains with a up-up-down-down arrangement of the spins with ferromagnetic (FM) double chains coupled antiferromagnetically (AFM). In addition to this unusual arrangement, the spin axial vector is modulated both in direction and modulus, resulting in a spin density wave-like order with periodic suppression of the Cr moment along the chains. This behavior is believed to appear as a result of strong competition between direct exchange AFM and superexchange FM couplings established between both nearest neighbor and next nearest neighbor Cr$^{3+}$ ions. We finally conjecture that the resulting magnetic order is stabilized via subtle vacancy/charge order within the Li layers, potentially causing a mix of two different magnetic phases within the sample.
