Monolithic integration of 850 nm and 940 nm AlGaAs vertical cavity surface emitting lasers on bulk Si and Ge substrates
Creators: name: Zhao, Yunlong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The production of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), which are widely used in short-reach optical communication and three-dimensional (3D) sensing for consumer and industry products, currently heavily relies on 4-inch and 6-inch bulk GaAs wafers. This GaAs-based production limits production volume and increases manufacturing costs. To address these challenges, the monolithic integration of VCSELs on alternative substrates, which can be made beyond 6-inch size, to enable large-scale production on larger wafer sizes, thus higher throughput and lower cost, was investigated. Three technical pathways to replace conventional GaAs substrates were proposed. Two were to replace the GaAs substrates with engineered Si substrates using aspect ratio trapping (ART)-Ge transition layers and graded GaAsP buffer layers. The third one is to apply Ge wafers as the substrates for VCSEL epitaxy. In this study, these three approaches were thoroughly analyzed and evaluated based on material characterization and optical spectra measurement. The distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs), the first and one major structural part of VCSELs, and full VCSELs were epitaxially grown on ART-Ge/Si substrates. DBRs were grown on GaAsP/Si substrates. For Ge substrates, DBRs and half-VCSELs growth were conducted. Bulk GaAs wafers were used as control samples for comparison. The material quality of growth on ART-Ge/Si substrates is low. The surface exhibits a high density of bumps and cracks, and the thickness of DBR layers is not uniform. Multiple techniques were tried for improvement, but the effects were limited. Due to supply chain difficulty, this approach was abandoned. In contrast, the GaAsP/Si-based DBRs demonstrate better material quality, but a crosshatch pattern leads to disappointing optical performance. After evaluation, the possibility of successful integration on Si substrates is low with limited resources available to the research. On the other hand, the Ge-based DBRs and half-VCSELs exhibit the best material and optical quality, comparable to those of the conventional GaAs-based counterparts. The monolithic integration on Ge substrates was successful, and it is the first study to show successful DBR and half VCSEL results on engineered Ge substrates with structure and fabrication details. Industry companies can use this study much more readily to adopt this technology.

description: Throughput optimal scheduling policies in general require the solution of a complex and often NP-hard optimization problem. Related literature has shown that in the context of time-varying channels, randomized scheduling policies can be employed to reduce the complexity of the optimization problem but at the expense of a memory requirement that is exponential in the number of data flows. In this paper, we consider a Linear-Memory Randomized Scheduling Policy (LM-RSP) that is based on a pick-and-compare principle in a time-varying network with $N$ one-hop data flows. For general ergodic channel processes, we study the performance of LM-RSP in terms of its stability region and average delay. Specifically, we show that LM-RSP can stabilize a fraction of the capacity region. Our analysis characterizes this fraction as well as the average delay as a function of channel variations and the efficiency of LM-RSP in choosing an appropriate schedule vector. Applying these results to a class of Markovian channels, we provide explicit results on the stability region and delay performance of LM-RSP.

description: The present study for the first time manifests the outstanding potential of amine grafted magnetic graphene oxide (m-GO-NH2) synthesized from Typha latifolia stems for mercury (Hg (II)) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) removal. The adsorption performance of m-GO-NH2 was apprised by considering the impact of the contact time (0-120 min), pH (2-9), adsorbent dose (5-40 mg), and adsorbate concentration (10-50 mg/L). The maximum Hg (II) and TNP removals (∼ 100%) were obtained using 30 mg adsorbent dose in 90 and 75 min, respectively. The best performance of m-GO-NH2 was observed at pH of 7, 20 mg/L Hg (II), and pH of 2, 30 mg/L TNP. According to the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis, the surface area of GO was 34.81 m2/g and the simultaneous micro and mesoporosity was observed. Regarding the thermodynamic studies, the adsorption procedure was spontaneous and endothermic for Hg (II) followed Redlich-Peterson (R-P) and Freundlich isotherm equations while it was exothermic for TNP, well fitted with Langmuir and R-P isotherms. Kinetic data also indicated a good correlation with pseudo-second-order model. The highest adsorption capacity was estimated as 107.33 mg/g and 105.2 mg/g for Hg (II) and TNP, respectively. Accordingly, the proposed m-GO-NH2 can be a promising adsorbent for the elimination of metal and organic contaminants.

description: In 2019 in the course of excavations of the Tazovsky settlement-workshop of the 12th–14th centuries (Tazovsky District of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug) the archer’s protective gear-plate for wrist used during shooting was found. The plate is made of mammoth tusk. On the sides of the plate, there are holes for fastening. On the front side of the plate, there is a dot pattern. The archer’s protective gear was found not far from metallurgical furnace along with other finds among which are a bone knife, a bone spoon, and others. Similar plates are recorded in the cultural layer of objects of the archaeological heritage of Bukhta Nahodka and Nadymsky settlement. The introduction of these materials into scientific discourse is important for the study of the material culture of the Polar region population.

description: The homogeneous Cu–ZnO and heterogeneous Ag/ZnO nanorods were synthesised by controlling the ionic radius of Cu and Ag with lattice of ZnO. The structure of Cu–ZnO and Ag/ZnO was investigated by a series of methods. The study of the photoelectric properties suggested both the homogeneously and heterogeneously doped ZnO displayed an increased photocatalytic performance. It was worth noting that the Cu–ZnO and Ag/ZnO composites shown different degradation activities of methylene blue under the visible and UV light irradiation. The data suggested that the Cu species incorporated into the crystal lattice of ZnO nanorods could promote the utilisation of visible light, leading to 2.5- and 2.7-fold increase in the degradation rates compared with Ag/ZnO and ZnO nanorods. However, when UV light was employed, on the one hand, the significant increase of the activity for both Cu–ZnO and Ag/ZnO compared with ZnO was observed and on the other hand, the degradation rate of Cu–ZnO was close to that of Ag/ZnO. The investigation suggested that the metallic Cu in the ZnO crystal lattice could promote the separation of electrons and holes generated by ZnO under visible light. As for the UV light, both doping styles could favour the separation process. The present work could provide a further insight for the design of ZnO-based nanomaterials and development of their applications in environmental catalysis.

The discovered eggs of trematodes such as Opisthorchis felineus, Alaria alata, and Diphyllobothrium sp. allowed reconstructing some life aspects of the Nadymsky gorodok’s population. Raw and/or undercooked fish has been the predominant food source for the townspeople and their dogs for at least 400 years. Territorial differences in the distribution area of the intermediary hosts of Opisthorchis felineus in the North of Western Siberia could be the basis for the reconstruction of migration and economic relations of the local population.

description: Whether paternal epigenetic changes resulting from nutrition might be inherited by their offspring remains unknown. This study evaluated the relationship between preconception paternal body weight and their offspring’s birth weight in 1,810 Chinese mother-father-baby trios. Information on paternal and maternal preconception body weight and height was collected via a self-reported questionnaire. Birth weight was collected from medical records. Paternal preconception body weight was associated with offspring’s birth weight (p trend = .02) after multivariate adjustment. Each standard deviation increment of paternal body mass index was associated with an additional 29.6 g increase of birth weight (95% confident interval: 5.7 g, 53.5 g). The association was more pronounced in male neonates, and neonates with overweight mothers, and with mothers who gained excessive gestational weight, compared to their counterparts (all p interaction < .05). Sensitivity analyses showed similar pattern to that of the main analysis. Paternal preconception body weight was associated with birth weight of their offspring.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? More efforts have previously been put on the maternal contribution to birth weight, however, it is uncertain whether paternal pre-conceptional body weight, an indicator for epigenetic information, might be inherited by their offspring.What do the results of this study add? In the current study that included 1,810 Chinese mother-father-baby trios, a small but significant association was observed between paternal preconception body weight and offspring’s birth weight (p trend =.02).What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research?

The archaeological evidence about this game is examined. The evidence was found during the excavation of the Mangazeya settlement and other Russian Siberian towns and forts: bone chips, or checkers, dice, and the unique mangazeiskaya discovery that is the first in Russia tavlei board (the early 17th century).
Application of Conformal Mapping to the determination of Magnetic Moment Distributions in typical Antidot Film Nanostructures

Year: 2008

description: There has been an increasing technological interest on magnetic thin films containing antidot arrays of hexagonal or square symmetry. Part of this interest is related to the possibility of domain formation and pinning at the antidots boundaries. In this paper, we develop a method for the calculation of the magnetic moment distribution for such arrays which concentrates on the immediate vicinity of each antidot. For each antidot distribution (square or hexagonal) a suitable system of coordinates is defined to exploit the shape of the unit-cells of the overall nanostructure. The Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Brown equations that govern the distribution of moments are rewritten in terms of these coordinates. The equilibrium moments orientation is calculated for each position in a Cartesian grid defined for these new coordinate systems, and then a conformal transformation is applied to insert the moment vectors into the actual unit-cell. The resulting vector maps display quite clearly regions of different moment orientation around the antidots, which can be associated with nanoscale domains. These results are similar to the ones obtained by other authors[1-4] using the NIST oommf method.

Regulating the infrared by mode matching: A massless scalar in expanding spaces with constant deceleration

description: In this paper we consider a massless scalar field, with a possible coupling $ξ$ to the Ricci scalar in a $D$ dimensional FLRW spacetime with a constant deceleration parameter $q=ε-1$, $ε=-{\dot{H}}/{H^2}$. Correlation functions for the Bunch-Davies vacuum of such a theory have long been known to be infrared divergent for a wide range of values of $ε$. We resolve these divergences by explicitly matching the spacetime under consideration to a spacetime without infrared divergencies. Such a procedure ensures that all correlation functions with respect to the vacuum in the spacetime of interest are infrared finite. In this newly defined vacuum we construct the coincidence limit of the propagator and as an example calculate the expectation value of the stress energy tensor. We find that this approach gives both in the ultraviolet and in the infrared satisfactory results. Moreover, we find that, unless the effective mass due to the coupling to the Ricci scalar $ξR$ is negative, quantum contributions to the energy density always dilute away faster, or just as fast, as the background energy density. Therefore, quantum backreaction is insignificant at the one loop order, unless $ξR$ is negative. Finally we compare this approach with known results where the infrared is regulated by placing the Universe in a finite box. In an accelerating universe, the results are qualitatively the same, provided one identifies the size of the Universe with the physical Hubble radius at the time of the matching. In a decelerating universe however, the two schemes give different late time behavior for the quantum stress energy tensor. This happens because in this case the length scale at which one regulates the infrared becomes sub-Hubble at late times.

description: The concentration of nitrate (NO3−) in Narragansett Bay has been shown to undergo considerable temporal and spatial variation. However, the dynamics of this flux has never been monitored on a fine-scale (<100 m, < 1 day) or in real-time. Whole-cell bio-reporters are promising candidates for low cost environmental sensing of bioavailable nutrients. Yet difficulties remain in creating sensors for long term deployment in the marine environment. This paper describes the creation and validation of a low-cost sensor using a self-bioluminescent strain of the cyanobacteria Synechococcus elongatus pcc 7942 for the direct measurement of bioavailable nitrate. Nitrate bioavailability was measured by monitoring light emission from a luxAB based promotor fusion to glnA using a light to frequency sensor and single board microcontroller. Sensor designs are presented in this manuscript with specific focus on storage, cell viability, and compatibility with the marine environment. Sensors were able to consistently assess nitrate standards as low as 1 ppm (16.3 μM). Using a wavelet denoising approach to reduce white noise and hardware noise, nitrate detection of standards as low as 0.037 ppm (0.65 μM) was achieved. Good sensitivity and low cost make these sensors ideal candidates for continuous monitoring of biological nitrates in estuarine systems.

description: In hierarchical Mobile IPv6 networks, Mobility Anchor Point (MAP) may become a single point of bottleneck as it handles more and more mobile nodes (MNs). A number of schemes have been proposed to achieve load balancing among different MAPs. However, signaling reduction is still imperfect because these schemes also avoid the effect of the number of CNs. Also only the balancing of MN is performed, but not the balancing of the actual traffic load, since CN of each MN may be different. This paper proposes an efficient admission control algorithm along with a replacement mechanism for HMIPv6 networks. The admission control algorithm is based on the number of serving CNs and achieves actual load balancing among MAPs. Moreover, a replacement mechanism is introduced to decrease the new MN blocking probability and the handoff MN dropping probability. By simulation results, we show that, the handoff delay and packet loss are reduced in our scheme, when compared with the standard HMIPv6 based handoff.

description: Flue gases emitted from the industries and other emission sources are considered the main atmospheric issues. The main Flue gases emitted are sulfur oxides SOX and Nitrogen oxides NOX. The study was about methods of removing SOX and NOX from emitted gases and the possibility of deriving useful byproducts. The process for removing was investigated using different absorbers, process conditions, and phosphorus allotropes. The yellow phosphorus (P4) was applied for removal accompanied by Potash. The simultaneous removal achieved higher removing efficiency for SOX than NOX. Yellow phosphorus emulsion proved to be one of the effective SOX and NOX removal techniques. Byproducts produced from SOX and NOX proved to contain the complete fertiliser Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium NPK. The obtained results showed that several useful byproducts can be derived from SOX and NOX removal process.

description: This article introduces Object-Oriented Intensional Programming (OO-IP), a new hybrid language between Object-Oriented and Intensional Programming Languages in the sense of the latest evolutions of Lucid. This new hybrid language combines the essential characteristics of Lucid and Java, and introduces the notion of object streams which makes it is possible that each element in a Lucid stream to be an object with embedded intensional properties. Interestingly, this hybrid language also brings to Java objects the power to explicitly express and manipulate the notion of context, creating the novel concept of intensional object, i.e. objects whose evaluation is context-dependent, which are here demonstrated to be translatable into standard objects. By this new approach, we extend the use and meaning of the notion of intensional objects and enrich the meaning of object streams in Lucid and semantics of intensional objects in Java.

description: The ensemble of random Markov matrices is introduced as a set of Markov or stochastic matrices with the maximal Shannon entropy. The statistical properties of the stationary distribution pi, the average entropy growth rate $h$ and the second largest eigenvalue nu across the ensemble are studied. It is shown and heuristically proven that the entropy growth-rate and second largest eigenvalue of Markov matrices scale in average with dimension of matrices d as h ~ log(O(d)) and nu ~ d^(-1/2), respectively, yielding the asymptotic relation h tau_c ~ 1/2 between entropy h and correlation decay time tau_c = -1/log|nu| . Additionally, the correlation between h and and tau_c is analysed and is decreasing with increasing dimension d.

description: East Asia is a powerhouse of economic and social development, with cultural industries that have burgeoned as countries in the region have generated consumer economies and a middle class. Despite ongoing security tensions, growing evidence suggests that a vigorous cultural trade in such commodities as comics, cinema and TV drama is creating a shared regional popular culture. The widespread diffusion of the Internet, and the concomitant rise of non-professional online publishing and social networking, is creating new communities among the consumers of these cultural commodities. Rivalry for leadership in the sphere of the culture industries provides a fertile field for the study of soft market power versus hard political power. The competing national discourses of the ‘Korean Wave’ (hallyu) and Japan’s ‘Gross National Cool’ indicate a struggle for new forms of influence in the East Asian region, a struggle that is becoming more intense as China, too, starts to exert soft power influence on a global scale in the form of cultural industries and foreign aid. This volume addresses transnational production and consumption of media products such as cinema, television dramas, popular music, comics and animation in Japan, South Korea and China. Its multidisciplinary approaches include Cultural Studies, Gender Studies, Media Studies, and a content analysis of the popular discourse of otherness in the East Asian context. While suggesting the emergence of a shared East Asian popular consumer culture, it critically examines the proposition that such a shared popular culture can resolve tensions between nation-states, and highlights the appropriation of popular culture by nation-states in an attempt to exercise soft power. This volume will be of interest to researchers and students in Asian Studies, Cultural Studies and Media Studies, and will be particularly useful to researchers in the emerging area of intra-Asian Cultural Studies.

description: Surveys for exoplanetary transits are usually limited not by photon noise but rather by the amount of red noise in their data. In particular, although the CoRoT spacebased survey data are being carefully scrutinized, significant new sources of systematic noises are still being discovered. Recently, a magnitude-dependant systematic effect was discovered in the CoRoT data by Mazeh & Guterman et al. and a phenomenological correction was proposed. Here we tie the observed effect a particular type of effect, and in the process generalize the popular Sysrem algorithm to include external parameters in a simultaneous solution with the unknown effects. We show that a post-processing scheme based on this algorithm performs well and indeed allows for the detection of new transit-like signals that were not previously detected.

Streamlined high throughput assembly and standardization of reference-grade animal mitochondrial genomes
Creators: name: Yang, Lingyu (Cecilia)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Mitochondrial genomes (or mitogenomes) are circular double-stranded DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) present in the mitochondria of a eukaryotic cell, typically containing 16,000 nucleotides. Mitochondrial DNA has several characteristics, including maternal inheritance, low mutation rate, higher copy number and higher resistance to degradation, making it a valuable tool for ecological system monitoring, evolutionary studies as well as forensics identifications. In the past, the importance of the mitochondrial genome was not fully appreciated, and mitochondrial DNA was considered less valuable than nuclear DNA due to its smaller size and limited number of coding regions. As a result, mitogenome records on public data portals are limited compared to nuclear references, particularly for underrepresented species. Nowadays, increased attention is directed toward reconstructing mitogenomes, considering their diverse applications. Scalable and robust mitogenome assembly tools are in high demand due to the large volume of DNA sequencing data produced. In this thesis, I have developed mtGrasp: Mitochondrial Genome Assembly and Standardization Pipeline. mtGrasp is a high throughput in silico tool that generates reference-grade mitogenomes in their final standardized format. Three hundred and twenty eight DNA read libraries from the iTrackDNA project and 23 Sequence Read Archive (SRA) libraries were used. Reads were assembled into contigs by ABySS, followed by mitochondrial sequence filtering, gap-filling, polishing, circularization and standardization, resulting in 274 reference-grade genomes (from iTrackDNA samples) and 15 complete sequences (from SRA samples) while requiring only a moderate timeframe and memory usage.

description: Feature selection is an indispensable preprocessing step when mining huge datasets that can significantly improve the overall system performance. Therefore in this paper we focus on a hybrid approach of feature selection. This method falls into two phases. The filter phase select the features with highest information gain and guides the initialization of search process for wrapper phase whose output the final feature subset. The final feature subsets are passed through the Knearest neighbor classifier for classification of attacks. The effectiveness of this algorithm is demonstrated on DARPA KDDCUP99 cyber attack dataset.

Thermal near-field radiative transfer between two spheres

description: Radiative energy transfer between closely spaced bodies is known to be significantly larger than that predicted by classical radiative transfer because of tunneling due to evanescent waves. Theoretical analysis of near--field radiative transfer is mainly restricted to radiative transfer between two half--spaces or spheres treated in the dipole approximation (very small sphere) or proximity force approximation (radius of sphere much greater than the gap). Sphere--sphere or sphere--plane configurations beyond the dipole approximation or proximity force approximation have not been attempted. In this work, the radiative energy transfer between two adjacent non--overlapping spheres of arbitrary diameters and gaps is analyzed numerically. For spheres of small diameter (compared to the wavelength), the results coincide with the dipole approximation. We see that the proximity force approximation is not valid for spheres with diameters much larger than the gap, even though this approximation is well established for calculating forces. From the numerical results, a regime map is constructed based on two non--dimensional length scales for the validity of different approximations.

description: Flue gases emitted from the industries and other emission sources are considered the main atmospheric issues. The main Flue gases emitted are sulfur oxides SOX and Nitrogen oxides NOX. The study was about methods of removing SOX and NOX from emitted gases and the possibility of deriving useful byproducts. The process for removing was investigated using different absorbers, process conditions, and phosphorus allotropes. The yellow phosphorus (P4) was applied for removal accompanied by Potash. The simultaneous removal achieved higher removing efficiency for SOX than NOX. Yellow phosphorus emulsion proved to be one of the effective SOX and NOX removal techniques. Byproducts produced from SOX and NOX proved to contain the complete fertilizer Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium NPK. The obtained results showed that several useful byproducts can be derived from SOX and NOX removal process.
