description: Das Eis der Erde spielt nicht nur im Verbund mit zahlreichen anderen Einflußfaktoren eine wichtige Rolle für die Klimaentwicklung, sondern es reagiert auch auf Klimaschwankungen und -veränderungen. Diese Reaktionen können wir z.B. am drastischen Rückgang der Alpengletscher erkennen. Da alle kontinentalen Gletscher zusammen nur rd. 1% des gesamten Eisvolumens der Erde liefern, ist es wichtig, die grönländische Eiskalotte mit 9% und die antarktischen Eismassen mit 90% dieses gewaltigen Süßwasservorrats zu studieren bzw. zu erfassen. Während Alpengletscher bereits seit über 100 Jahren beobachtet und auch vermessungstechnisch überwacht werden, kann der Beginn der umfassenden interdisziplinären Erforschung des antarktischen Eisschildes erst auf 1957/58, der Zeit des "Internationalen Geophysikalischen Jahres", datiert werden. Seit der Wiederaufnahme der deutschen Antarktisforschung durch die Bundesrepublik Deutschland und dem Beitritt zum Antarktisvertrag 1979 liefert auch das Institut für Vermessungskunde der TU Braunschweig hierzu geodätische Beiträge, z.Z. aber vor allem zur genauen Erfassung des status quo und nur in Einzelfällen zur exakten Bestimmung der zeitlichen Variationen.
Dagegen bietet sich in Grönland die Chance, aufbauend auf ältere Arbeiten, die Veränderungen des Massenhaushalts und der Dynamik der Eiskalotte durch weitere Messungen zu ermitteln.
Die Insel Grönland ist zu rd. 80% ihrer Fläche mit Eis bedeckt. Das Eisvolumen beträgt 2,6 Millionen km^3, es entspricht dem 50fachen Wasservolumen der Nordsee und bei totaler Abschmelzung einer durchschnittlichen Hebung des Weltmeeresspiegels um 7m.

System Shocks: Technology and Ambiguity in International Law and Arms Control

subject: Technological innovations

description: Pundits and policymakers often decry the inability of international law to keep pace with technological change. Political scientists expect technological innovation to grant revisionist states with both the means and motive to evade unfavorable legal commitments. In practice, however, only some militarily disruptive technologies are institutionally disruptive. Status quo powers sometimes decline to contest revisionist breakthroughs, and revisionists sometimes concede (or conceal) their innovations instead of leveraging them to contest or evade undesirable rules. When contestation does arise, it is not always resolved in favor of the materially stronger party. If international law is what powerful states say it is, why are some international legal institutions comparatively resilient to militarily impactful technological innovations? This dissertation presents evidence that linguistic nuance, negotiated in ignorance about what the future might bring, can handcuff states to materially disadvantageous interpretations about what technologies are "compliant." To advance this argument, I depart from longstanding assumptions about what makes institutions effective. Norm specificity -- conventionally understood to minimize noncompliance -- works well for known forms of deviations, but unanticipated forms are inevitable. As the technology frontier inexorably expands, specificity dampens the credibility of restrictive analogies, making norms hard but brittle. When this happens, states that care about preserving at least the veneer of legal credibility can be deterred from adopting policies that would otherwise improve their material security. The theory is tested with a mixed-method empirical strategy. Seven case studies, based on thousands of pages of declassified records, are paired with two theoretically-motivated randomized experiments. This evidence shows while that emerging technologies may present states with incentives to evade the rules, the cost of evasive action depends on the perceived credibility of evasive justifications, a function of commitment language. An important finding is that seemingly "ambiguous" language can actually make legal institutions more resilient. In a world where change is understood as the only constant; words are widely viewed as cheap talk; and law is subordinate to politics, these results help explain why technology contestation is not ubiquitous.
Implementation of the 5A's Smoking cessation tool in the electronic medical record: a quality improvement project
Creators: name: Mansfield, Jill
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Purpose of Project: Primary care providers have prime opportunity to provide smoking cessation counseling and care for all of their patient population. Unfortunately, smoking cessation care is lacking by primary care providers. Guidelines recommend the use of the evidence-based 5A’s approach to screen and treat patients at every patient encounter for smoking cessation. This project sought to place the 5A’s smoking cessation tool into the EMR at a primary care practice in Monroe, New Jersey and assess for any increases in smoking cessation screening and care.Methodology: Quality improvement project - pre-/post-intervention chart reviews. The intervention includes implementation by the clinicians to complete and document the 5A’s for smoking cessation care at every patient encounter in the EMR and measuring rates of providers counseling and prescriptions prior to and after the intervention.Results: Pre-intervention 14.7% were provided counseling and 5.9% prescriptions; post-interventions 33.3% were provided counseling and 20.0% prescriptions. These findings were not statistically significant (p=0.082 and P=0.103, respectively).Implications for Practice: 5A’s approach can be easily intergraded into EMRs and used at primary care practice at no cost to provider or patient. It will help provided evidence-based smoking cessation care to all patients.

description: We present quantum Maxwell-Bloch equations (QMBE) for spatially inhomogeneous semiconductor laser devices. The QMBE are derived from fully quantum mechanical operator dynamics describing the interaction of the light field with the quantum states of the electrons and the holes near the band gap. By taking into account field-field correlations and field-dipole correlations, the QMBE include quantum noise effects which cause spontaneous emission and amplified spontaneous emission. In particular, the source of spontaneous emission is obtained by factorizing the dipole-dipole correlations into a product of electron and hole densities. The QMBE are formulated for general devices, for edge emitting lasers and for vertical cavity surface emitting lasers, providing a starting point for the detailed analysis of spatial coherence in the near field and far field patterns of such laser diodes. Analytical expressions are given for the spectra of gain and spontaneous emission described by the QMBE. These results are applied to the case of a broad area laser, for which the frequency and carrier density dependent spontaneous emission factor beta and the evolution of the far field pattern near threshold are derived.

description: The paper derives the optimal second-order coding rate for the continuous-time Poisson channel. We also obtain bounds on the third-order coding rate. This is the first instance of a second-order result for a continuous-time channel. The converse proof hinges on a novel construction of an output distribution induced by Wyner's discretized channel and the construction of an appropriate $ε$-net of the input probability simplex. While the achievability proof follows the general program to prove the third-order term for non-singular discrete memoryless channels put forth by Polyanskiy, several non-standard techniques -- such as new definitions and bounds on the probabilities of typical sets using logarithmic Sobolev inequalities -- are employed to handle the continuous nature of the channel.

Fiber Optic Distributed Sensing System for Monitoring of Tailings Storage Facilities
Creators: name: Inaudi, Daniele

name: Dinh, Olivier
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: A fiber optic distributed sensing system concentrates on the monitoring of parameters useful to determine the short- and long-term behaviour of the structure in response to external actions, including, for example, seismic activities, as well as long-term phenomena such as seepage, tunneling, sinkholes, and other geostructural movements. Monitoring of large retaining structures with such a system provides direct strain/deformation and temperature measurements on the broad interior area, enabling early detection, localization, and sizing of subsurface damages. Measurements are provided every meter along the entire sensing cable; this is particularly important in cases where the location of defects cannot be predicted, and localized geotechnical instrumentation is therefore useless. Fiber optic distributed sensing cables are relatively easy to deploy, and are generally available for retrofit installation inside the dam structure using trenches on the downstream face, or are laid during construction below the geomembrane liner within the bedding sand layer. Mapping the cable route enables exact correlation between a linear coordinate on the cable length and a position in the dam. Cable installation is envisaged to be carried out during further raising of the embankment; additional cable sections are plugged to the previously installed cables and measured with the existing measurement system, requiring only an update of the mapping. The measurement system is placed remotely from the sensing area, since a section of the sensing cable can be used to link to the sensing area at the storage facility several kilometers away without any performance degradation. The system is available for on-line, 24/7 real-time operational data management. Such fiber optic distributed sensing systems allow the storage facilities to be monitored with long, accurate, continuous and precise data for geotechnical diagnostic purposes.

Concordance and Mutation

description: We provide a framework for studying the interplay between concordance and positive mutation and identify some of the basic structures relating the two. The fundamental result in understanding knot concordance is the structure theorem proved by Levine: for n>1 there is an isomorphism phi from the concordance group C_n of knotted (2n-1)-spheres in S^{2n+1} to an algebraically defined group G_{+-}; furthermore, G__{+-} is isomorphic to the infinite direct sum Z^infty direct sum Z_2^infty direct sum Z_4^infty. It was a startling consequence of the work of Casson and Gordon that in the classical case the kernel of phi on C_1 is infinitely generated. Beyond this, little has been discovered about the pair (C_1,phi). In this paper we present a new approach to studying C_1 by introducing a group, M, defined as the quotient of the set of knots by the equivalence relation generated by concordance and positive mutation, with group operation induced by connected sum. We prove there is a factorization of phi, C_1-->M-->G_-. Our main result is that both maps have infinitely generated kernels. Among geometric constructions on classical knots, the most subtle is positive mutation. Positive mutants are indistinguishable using classical abelian knot invariants as well as by such modern invariants as the Jones, Homfly or Kauffman polynomials. Distinguishing positive mutants up to concordance is a far more difficult problem; only one example has been known until now. The results in this paper provide, among other results, the first infinite families of knots that are distinct from their positive mutants, even up to concordance.

description: Conventional and hybrid light quark baryons are constructed in the non-relativistic flux-tube model of Isgur and Paton, which is motivated by lattice QCD. The motion of the flux tube with the three quark positions fixed, except for center of mass corrections, is discussed. It is shown that the problem can be reduced to the independent motion of the junction and the strings connecting the junction to the quarks. The important role played by quark-exchange symmetry in constraining the flavor structure of (hybrid) baryons is emphasized. The flavor, quark spin S, total spin J, and parity P of the seven low-lying hybrid baryons are found to be N2(1/2)+, N2(3/2)+, Delta4(1/2)+, Delta4(3/2)+, and Delta4(5/2)+, where the notation is flavor[2S+1](J)P, and the N2(1/2)+ and N2(3/2)+ states are doublets. The motion of the three quarks in an adiabatic potential derived from the flux-tube dynamics is considered. A mass of 1870 +/- 100 MeV for the lightest nucleon hybrids is found by employing a variational method.

We consider one conformally coupled scalar field and, using the fact that the model is integrable when the field is massless, we show in detail how homoclinic chaos arises for nonzero masses using a perturbative method.

description: DNA sequence information is constantly threatened by damage. In the clinic, intentional DNA damage is often used to treat cancer. Cisplatin, a first-line chemotherapy used to treat millions of patients, functions specifically by generating physical links within DNA strands, blocking DNA replication, and killing dividing cells. To maintain genome integrity, organisms have evolved the capacity to repair, respond, or otherwise resist change to the DNA sequence through a network of genetically encoded DNA damage tolerance pathways. In chapter 1, I present advances in experimental design and current progress for a systems genetics approach, using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to reveal relationships between cisplatin tolerance pathways. Additionally, recent efforts to sequence thousands of cancer genomes have revealed recurrent genetic changes that cause overexpression of specific cisplatin tolerance genes. In chapter 2, I present a submitted manuscript that models overexpression of an essential cisplatin tolerance gene. This study uses a systems genetics approach to reveal the genetic pathways that are essential for tolerating this perturbation, which ultimately led to mechanistic insights for this gene. Convenient genome engineering in Saccharomyces has made this organism an ideal model to develop systems genetics concepts and approaches. In chapter 3, I present a published manuscript that demonstrates a new approach to disrupting genes by making site-specific nonsense mutations. Importantly, this approach does not require cytotoxic double-strand DNA breaks and is applicable to many model organisms for disrupting almost any gene, which may advance systems genetics into new model organisms. Systems genetics provides a framework for determining how DNA damage tolerance pathways act together to maintain cellular fitness and genome integrity. Such insights may one day help clinicians predict which cancers will respond to treatment, potentially sparing patients from unnecessary chemotherapy.

description: The increasing integration of digital information with our daily lives has led to the rise of big data, cloud computing, and the internet of things. The growth in these categories will lead to an exponential increase in the required capacity for data centers and high performance computation. Meanwhile, due to bottlenecks in data access caused by the limited energy and bandwidth scalability of electrical interconnects, computational speedup can no longer scale with demand. A better solution is necessary in order to increase computational performance and reduce the carbon footprint of our digital future.
People have long thought of photonic interconnects, which can offer higher bandwidth, greater energy efficiency, and orders-of-magnitude distance scalability compared to electrical interconnects, as a solution to the data access bottleneck in chip, board, and datacenter scale networks. Over the past three decades we have seen impressive growth of photonic technology from theoretical predictions to high-performance commercially available devices. However, the dream of an all-optical interconnection network for use in CPU, Memory, and rack-to-rack datacenter interconnects is not yet realized. Many challenges and obstacles still have to be addressed. This work investigates these challenges and describe some of the ways to overcome them.
First we will first examine the pattern sensitivity of microring modulators, which are likely to be found as the first element in an optical interconnect. My work will illustrate the advantage of using depletion mode modulators compared to injection mode modulators as the number of consecutive symbols in the data pattern increases.
Next we will look at the problem of thermal initialization for microring demultiplexers near the output of the optical interconnect. My work demonstrates the fastest achieved initialization speed to-date for a microring based demultiplexer. I will also explore an thermal initialization and control method for microrings based on temperature measurement using a pn-junction.
Finally, we will look at how to control and initialize microring and MZI based optical switch fabrics, which is the second element found in a optical interconnect. Work here will show the possibility of switching high-speed WDM datastreams through microring based switches, as well as methods to deal with the complexities inherent in control and initialization of high-radix switch topologies.
Through these demonstrations I hope to show that the challenges facing optical interconnects, although very real, are surmountable using reasonable engineering efforts.

description: We derive an explicit formula for the well-known Chern-Moser-Weyl tensor for nondegenerate real hypersurfaces in complex space in terms of their defining functions. The formula is considerably simplified when applying to "pluriharmonic perturbations" of the sphere or to a Fefferman approximate solution to the complex Monge-Ampère equation. As an application, we show that the CR invariant one-form $X_α$ constructed recently by Case and Gover is nontrivial on each real ellipsoid of revolution in $\mathbb{C}^3$, unless it is equivalent to the sphere. This resolves affirmatively a question posed by these two authors in 2017 regarding the (non-) local CR invariance of the $\mathcal{I}'$-pseudohermitian invariant in dimension five and provides a counterexample to a recent conjecture by Hirachi.

description: There is a growing interest in the automated analysis of chest X-Ray (CXR) as a sensitive and inexpensive means of screening susceptible populations for pulmonary tuberculosis. In this work we evaluate the latest version of CAD4TB, a commercial software platform designed for this purpose. Version 6 of CAD4TB was released in 2018 and is here tested on a fully independent dataset of 5565 CXR images with GeneXpert (Xpert) sputum test results available (854 Xpert positive subjects). A subset of 500 subjects (50% Xpert positive) was reviewed and annotated by 5 expert observers independently to obtain a radiological reference standard. The latest version of CAD4TB is found to outperform all previous versions in terms of area under receiver operating curve (ROC) with respect to both Xpert and radiological reference standards. Improvements with respect to Xpert are most apparent at high sensitivity levels with a specificity of 76% obtained at a fixed 90% sensitivity. When compared with the radiological reference standard, CAD4TB v6 also outperformed previous versions by a considerable margin and achieved 98% specificity at the 90% sensitivity setting. No substantial difference was found between the performance of CAD4TB v6 and any of the various expert observers against the Xpert reference standard. A cost and efficiency analysis on this dataset demonstrates that in a standard clinical situation, operating at 90% sensitivity, users of CAD4TB v6 can process 132 subjects per day at n average cost per screen of \$5.95 per subject, while users of version 3 process only 85 subjects per day at a cost of \$8.38 per subject. At all tested operating points version 6 is shown to be more efficient and cost effective than any other version.

description: Background: Growing evidence indicates that periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS) may be related to increasedrisk of developing cardiovascular disease. However, the association of PLMS with atrial fibrillation (AF)is unclear, especially in patientswith sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). This study sought to investigatewhetherPLMS were associated with increased AF prevalence, independent of established risk factors.Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of patients who underwent attended polysomnography atMayoClinic from2011 to 2014. The association of PLMSwith AF prevalence was estimated by using logistic regressionmodels.Results: 15,414 patients were studied, 76.3% of individuals with SDB defined by apnea-hypopnea index(AHI) ≥5/h, and 15.3% with a diagnosis of AF. In univariate logistic modelling, individuals with periodiclimb movement index (PLMI) ≥30/h had higher odds of AF (odds ratio [OR] 1.96, 95% confidence interval[CI]1.79–2.16, p b 0.001) when compared to patients with PLMI b15/h. After multivariate adjustment (forage, race, sex, history of smoking, hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, heart failure, cerebrovasculardisease, renal disease, iron deficiency anemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, AHI, arousalindex), inmild SDB patients, a PLMI ≥30/h or periodic limbmovement arousal index (PLMAI) ≥5/h had significantlyhigher odds of AF than thosewith PLMI b15/h (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.00–1.47, p=0.048) or PLMAI b1/h (OR 1.27, 95%CI 1.03–1.56, p= 0.024).Conclusions: Frequent PLMS are independently associated with AF prevalence in patients with mild SDB. Furtherstudies are needed to better understand the relationship with incident AF.

description: Electron-electron interactions play an important role in graphene and related systems and can induce exotic quantum states, especially in a stacked bilayer with a small twist angle. For bilayer graphene where the two layers are twisted by a "magic angle", flat band and strong many-body effects lead to correlated insulating states and superconductivity. In contrast to monolayer graphene, the band structure of untwisted bilayer graphene can be further tuned by a displacement field, providing an extra degree of freedom to control the flat band that should appear when two bilayers are stacked on top of each other. Here, we report the discovery and characterization of such displacement-field tunable electronic phases in twisted double bilayer graphene. We observe insulating states at a half-filled conduction band in an intermediate range of displacement fields. Furthermore, the resistance gap in the correlated insulator increases with respect to the in-plane magnetic fields and we find that the g factor according to spin Zeeman effect is ~2, indicating spin polarization at half filling. These results establish the twisted double bilayer graphene as an easily tunable platform for exploring quantum many-body states.

description: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are crystalline layered materials that have significantly impacted the field of condensed matter physics. These materials were the first exfoliatable semiconductors to be discovered after the advent of graphene. The focus of this dissertation is utilizing multiple imaging and characterization techniques to improve and understand the impact of strain and lattice defects in these materials.  These inclusions to the lattice, alter the semiconducting performance in controllable ways. A comprehensive study using scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STM), spectroscopy (STS), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and photoluminescence (PL) in this work will provide a breadth of ways to pinpoint and cross-examine the impact of these factors on these materials. In the first half of this work we focus on the control of lattice defects through two growth processes: chemical vapor transport (CVT) and self-flux. By fine tuning the growth procedure we are both able to determine the intrinsic defects of the material, their electronics, and consistently diminish their density. The second half uses an in-situ strain device to reversibly control and examine the effects of applied strain on transition metal dichalcogenide layers. Utilizing the scanning tunneling microscope to image the lattice, we characterize the change of lattice parameters and observe the formation of strain solitons within the lattice. Measuring these solitons directly we look at the dynamics of a special class of line defects, folds within the top layer of the material, that occur naturally as strain is relieved within the monolayer. With the available imaging techniques and theoretical models we uncover a host of properties of these materials that are only accessible within the high strain regime
Can neutrino vacuum support the wormhole?

description: The renormalised vacuum expectation values of massless fermion (conventionally call it neutrino) stress-energy tensor are calculated in the static spherically-symmetrical wormhole topology. Consider the case when the derivatives of metric tensor over radial distance are sufficiently small (in the scale of radius) to justify studying a few first orders of quasiclassical (WKB) expansion over derivatives. Then we find that violation of the averaged weak energy condition takes place irrespectively of the detailed form of metric. This is a necessary condition for the neutrino vacuum to be able to support the wormhole geometry. In this respect, neutrino vacuum behaves like electromagnetic one and differs from the conformal scalar vacuum which does not seem to violate energy conditions for slowly varied metric automatically, but requires self-consistent wormhole solution for this.

description: Upstream construction relies on the integrity of the tailings for stability. As such, while this construction method has been successfully used for decades, these designs require greater ongoing scrutiny. The Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) complex at the Granny Smith mine comprises three cells and was designed preANCOLD guidelines with minimum allowable factors of safety for static conditions of 1.3. Previous investigations on Cell 1 identified horizontal layering resulting from deposition of primary and oxide ore tailings. The oxide layers were located beneath the top elevation of and adjacent to the original starter embankment, covering approximately 50% of the TSF floor area. The Engineer of Record assessed that the oxide tailings would likely exhibit brittle behaviour and very low post-peak undrained shear strength ratios. As a result, preliminary stability assessments yielded factors of safety below 1.5 under undrained static loading conditions. Deposition into Cell 1 was therefore suspended and deposition diverted to Cell 3. This paper presents the approach followed to confirm the stability of the cells and to optimize the geometry of the toe buttress (including geotechnical investigations, laboratory testing, and deformation modelling). The dynamic deformation modelling completed to predict the deformation of the TSF under the seismic design load and to check the propensity of the low predicted post-seismic strengths to trigger under the seismic design event is discussed. The paper highlights the importance of material characterization, particularly for upstream constructed dams, and that brittle materials are a special case that requires conservative design.
