description: The electric dipole and quadrupole polarizabilities of the $5s5p~^3\!P_1^o$ state and the $C_6$ and $C_8$ coefficients for the $^1\!S_0 +\, ^1\!S_0$ and $^1\!S_0 +\, ^3\!P_1^o$ dimers of strontium are calculated using a high-precision relativistic approach that combines configuration interaction and linearized coupled-cluster methods. Our recommended values of the long range dispersion coefficients for the $0_u$ and $1_u$ energy levels are $C_6(0_u)=3771(32)$ a.u. and $C_6(1_u)= 4001(33)$ a.u., respectively. They are in good agreement with recent results from experimental photoassociation data. We also calculate $C_8$ coefficients for Sr dimers, which are needed for precise determination of long-range interaction potential. We confirm the experimental value for the magic wavelength, where the Stark shift on the $^1\!S_0$-$^3\!P_1^o$ transition vanishes. The accuracy of calculations is analyzed and uncertainties are assigned to all quantities reported in this work.

description: Contextual morphological analysis is the task of finding the most probable lemma and morpho-syntactic description (i.e. part of speech and grammatical markers, such as case, tense, etc.) for a given word in a given context. Historically, approaches to the task relied on using few words of local context due to both model design (e.g. HMM) and data sparseness concerns. With the advent of deep learning, resorting to local context ceased to be a necessity, and modern approaches exclusively use global (sentential) context. In this thesis we investigate whether context restriction can still be useful for neural morphological analysis. For our first set of experiments we adapt a character-level encoder-decoder model that was previously used for related tasks of lemmatization and morphological generation. We start by showing that using just one word of surrounding context not only yields better results, but is also more efficient than using global context. Then, on a data set of more than hundred corpora, we show that relying on larger context windows is preferable only when training data is sufficiently large, while using a single word of context is better both in low resource scenarios and on average. Finally, we show that augmenting our model with contextualized word embeddings does not increase its performance. Inspired by the success of our character-level model, in our second set of experiments we try context restriction with a popular off-the-shelf word-level neural morphological analyzer. Here too, we show, that when training data is scarce, limiting context to a few words does improve performance, especially for agglutinative and fusional languages. However, with enough data using global context is still better. To investigate what restricted models miss from global context, in a follow-up experiment we show, that context restriction hinders the ability of the model to correctly analyze words, whose dependency heads are left beyond the context window. Finally, we find, that to improve performance on small data sets, one does not even have to train in a context-restricted manner. It is enough to limit context at inference time to achieve comparable performance.

description: The evolution of wireless communications into 6G and beyond is expected to rely on new machine learning (ML)-based capabilities. These can enable proactive decisions and actions from wireless-network components to sustain quality-of-service (QoS) and user experience. Moreover, new use cases in the area of vehicular and industrial communications will emerge. Specifically in the area of vehicle communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) schemes will benefit strongly from such advances. With this in mind, we have conducted a detailed measurement campaign that paves the way to a plethora of diverse ML-based studies. The resulting datasets offer GPS-located wireless measurements across diverse urban environments for both cellular (with two different operators) and sidelink radio access technologies, thus enabling a variety of different studies towards V2X. The datasets are labeled and sampled with a high time resolution. Furthermore, we make the data publicly available with all the necessary information to support the onboarding of new researchers. We provide an initial analysis of the data showing some of the challenges that ML needs to overcome and the features that ML can leverage, as well as some hints at potential research studies.

Expanding Rh-Catalyed Nucleophile Additions to Electron-Deficient Dienes
Creators: Cooze, Christopher Joseph Craig
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The metal-catalyzed addition of nucleophiles to electron-deficient alkenes represents

one of the most useful tools for the construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom

bonds. Of the methods that have been developed, the Rh-catalyzed conjugate addition of aryl

and alkenyl boronic acids to electron-deficient dienes is considered one of the most useful

platforms for installing a stereocenter b to an electron-withdrawing group. While this area

has seen a tremendous amount of development over the last 25 years, the Rh-catalyzed

addition to structurally related electron-deficient dienes remains comparatively

underdeveloped. This thesis describes the development of new methods for the

stereoselective functionalization of electron-deficient dienes, initiated by nucleophilic

addition to the d-position of the diene.
title: Nonlinear effects in OFDM signal transmission over radio over fibre links
Creators: name: Assimakopoulos, Philippos
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: The dynamic range limitations that arise from nonlinearity in low-cost and low complexity directly modulated radio over fibre (RoF) links are examined. Statistical non linear models are presented and applied to the case of a RoF link with a low biased laser diode. The effects of distortion on the Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) performance of Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signals with different numbers of subcarriers and the connection to the Peak-ta-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the signals are investigated. Statistical distributions of the EVM over a large number of transmitted OFDM frames are gained from experimental measurements and analyses of idealized processes. The measurement results show that as the number of subcarriers is reduced the distribution means are not dependent in the expected way on the statistical PAPR of the transmitted OFDM signals. Instead, it is shown that in regions of moderate distortion the median of the EVM is more closely related to the statistical PAPR and to the required back-off for signals with different numbers of subcarriers. Through the employed statistical analysis, the asymptotic convergence of the EVM result to that expected in the idealized case is observed. The results of this analysis also show, how, including the EVM variance in estimations for back-off might be useful, how, in a measurement, the number of transmitted OFDM frames affects the estimated mean EVM. Differing EVM results for subcarriers at the edge and middle of the signal band show that distortion affects the subcarriers at the middle of the band to a stronger degree and that their behaviour is correlated "to the statistical PAPR of the individual signals. Then, a laser model validated against measured performance is designed arid used for simulating the performance of a subcarrier multiplexed 4th generation mobile/wireless RoF transmission system. Predictions indicate that the architecture provides adequate performance in terms of EVM, for different IFFT sizes and modulation levels of up to 256 QAM (at leastL and a combined raw data rate of up to 3.2 Gbps. Based on a 1.5% EVM transmitter requirement with 256 QAM, a system dynamic range of approximately 5.1 dB is predicted. Finally, the use of companding in a directly modulated RaF link, with the aim of reducing the amplification (and isolation) requirements in the remote antenna unit, is demonstrated, quantified through EVM measurements. The resulting improvements in output power are approximately 4.7 dB at an EVM transmitter requirement of 5.6 %, while in terms of the point of onset of distortion-induced EVM increase, the improvement is approximately 7.6 dB.
Sentencing Judgements of Adolescents with and Without Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
Creators: Deren, Cassandra L
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

As many as 60% of those diagnosed with FASD come into contact with the Criminal Justice System (CJS), with youth with FASD being 19 times more likely to be in prison than their peer without (Chartrand & Forbes-Chilibeck, 2003; Fast et al., 1999; Institute of Health Economics, 2013; Popova et al., 2011). While the unique constellation of impairments of those with FASD can present challenges at every stage of the CJS, it is at the sentencing stage of the process where there is much controversy (Gagnier et al., 2011; Millward, 2013; Roach & Bailey, 2009). There has been no quantitative research conducted with youth to examine whether a diagnosis of FASD influences sentencing when comparing those with FASD to those without. Although it has been acknowledged that FASD should be given special consideration (e.g., considered a mitigating factor or result in individualized sentencing). Despite this lack of knowledge, there is much interest in legislation and policy development aimed at better responding to those with FASD in the CJS (Flannigan et al., 2018). This study quantitatively examined whether youth with a diagnosis of FASD are sentenced differently than youth who do not have FASD, after controlling for factors that must be considered in standard sentencing principles (e.g., prior offence history and risk to re-offend). The results of this study found that sentencing decisions were not impacted by whether there was a diagnosis of FASD. The results have several important implications and highlight the need for further research in this area.

A Human-in-the-loop Approach to Generate Annotation Usage Rules
Creators: Gulami, Mansur
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Frameworks and libraries provide functionality through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Developers might misuse these APIs because the library's usage rules are often implicit, undocumented, or not readily available in the form of checkable rules. At the same time, manually writing usage rules for each API is time-consuming. Therefore, researchers have proposed various techniques to automatically mine API usage rules. However, mined rules are not always accurate, resulting in false positives when used for misuse detection.

To overcome these trade-offs, in this thesis, we combine rule mining and manual rule authoring approaches by creating a human-in-the-loop API usage rule generation pipeline.

Based on our industrial collaborator's needs, our work focuses on generating annotation-based API usage rules for MicroProfile, a framework designed for building microservices using Enterprise Java. We use an existing frequent itemset-based pattern-mining technique to mine MicroProfile annotation usage rules. We contribute a GUI-based rule validation tool (RVT) that represents rules in an easy-to-read English-like syntax and allows experts to browse through the mined rules to validate (accept, edit, discard) them. Our pipeline then automatically generates checkable API usage rules from the confirmed rules, which can then be used to detect misuses or to enhance documentation.

We verify the correctness of the automatically generated static analysis checks by evaluating our misuse detector against 517 projects. Our results show that our misuse detector can find misuses with 100% recall and 84% precision.

To assess the usefulness of having mined rules as a starting point for rule authoring and to assess the usability of RVT in validating rules, we perform a user study with four MicroProfile API experts where they validate 18 mined rules. The results show that the API experts find having starting points useful when it comes to rule authoring. Additionally, the experts unanimously agree on the usefulness of having a dedicated tool for authoring rules.
The end of the MACHO era- revisited: new limits on MACHO masses from halo wide binaries

description: In order to determine an upper bound for the mass of the massive compact halo objets (MACHOs) we use the halo binaries contained in a recent catalog (Allen \& Monroy-Rodr\'ıguez 2013). To dynamically model their interactions with massive perturbers a Monte Carlo simulation is conducted, using an impulsive approximation method and assuming a galactic halo constituted by massive particles of a characteristic mass. The results of such simulations are compared with several subsamples of our improved catalog of candidate halo wide binaries. In accordance with Quinn et al. (2009) we also find our results to be very sensitive to the widest binaries. However, our larger sample, together with the fact that we can obtain galactic orbits for 150 of our systems, allows a more reliable estimate of the maximum MACHO mass than that obtained previously. If we employ the entire sample of 211 candidate halo stars we obtain an upper limit of $112 M_\sun$. However, using the 150 binaries in our catalog with computed galactic orbits we are able to refine our fitting criteria. Thus, for the 100 most halo-like binaries we obtain a maximum MACHO mass of $21-68 M_\sun$. Furthermore, we can estimate the dynamical effects of the galactic disk using binary samples that spend progressively shorter times within the disk. By extrapolating the limits obtained for our most reliable -albeit smallest- sample we find that as the time spent within the disk tends to zero the upper bound of the MACHO mass tends to less than $5 M_\sun$. The non-uniform density of the halo has also been taken into account, but the limit obtained, less than $5 M_\sun$, does not differ much from the previous one. Together with microlensing studies that provide lower limits on the MACHO mass, our results essentially exclude the existence of such objects in the galactic halo.
Skyhook: Managing Columnar Data Within Storage
Creators: name: Jayjeet Chakraborty
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The advent of high-speed network and storage devices like RDMA-enabled networks and NVMe SSDs, the fundamental bottleneck in any data management system has shifted from the I/O layer to the CPU layer resulting in reduced scalability and performance. This issue is quite prominent in systems reading popular data formats like Parquet and ORC which involve CPU intensive tasks like decoding and decompression of data on the client. One solution to this problem is adopting computational storage, where CPU intensive tasks like decoding, decompression, and filtering are offloaded/distributed to often underutilized storage server CPUs, getting back scalability and accelerating performance. We build Skyhook, a programmable data management system based on Apache Arrow and Ceph that enables offloading of query processing tasks to storage servers. Skyhook does not require any modifications to Ceph nor assumes computational storage devices, rather its unique design embeds query processing in Ceph objects. This approach makes adding query offloading capabilities to the storage systems a breeze for practitioners. We use Skyhook to manage HEP datasets with storage, i.e., minimizing the creation of additional copies. The current release is deployed in University of Nebraska and University of Chicago and supports offloading of Nano Event filtering and projection queries. Our roadmap includes supporting joins with a distributed query execution framework that partitions Substrait query plans and distributes them for execution on clients, worker nodes, and storage objects. For the execution we plan to use the Acero (Arrow Compute Engine). For generating Substrait query plans we are planning to use Ibis. We are also collaborating with Argonne National Lab to extend Skyhook to other storage systems such as the Mochi software-defined storage system using RDMA for data transport to accelerate Skyhook query performance.
Perinatal Choline Influences Brain Structure and Function

Year: 2006

description: Choline is derived not only from the diet, but also from de novo synthesis. It is important for methyl-group metabolism, the formation of membranes, kidney function, and neurotransmission. When deprived of dietary choline, most adult men and postmenopausal women develop signs of organ dysfunction (fatty liver or muscle damage) and have a decreased capacity to convert homocysteine to methionine. Choline is critical during fetal development, when it influences stem cell proliferation and apoptosis, thereby altering brain structure and function (memory is permanently enhanced in rodents exposed to choline during the latter part of gestation).

description: The interplay between spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and magnetic order is currently one of the most active research fields in condensed matter physics and leading the search for materials with novel and tunable magnetic and spin properties. Here we report on a variety of unexpected and unique observations in thin multiferroic \Ge$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Te films. The ferrimagnetic order in this ferroelectric semiconductor is found to reverse with current pulses six orders of magnitude lower as for typical spin-orbit torque systems. Upon a switching event, the magnetic order spreads coherently and collectively over macroscopic distances through a correlated spin-glass state. Lastly, we present a novel methodology to controllably harness this stochastic magnetization dynamics, allowing us to detect spatiotemporal nucleation of topological spin textures we term ``skyrmiverres''.

description: The long-term evolution of large-amplitude Alfven waves propagating in the solar wind is investigated by performing two-dimensional MHD simulations within the expanding box model. The linear and nonlinear phases of the parametric decay instability are studied for both circularly polarized waves in parallel propagation and for arc-polarized waves in oblique propagation. The non-monochromatic case is also considered. In the oblique case, the direct excitation of daughter modes transverse to the local background field is found for the first time in an expanding environment, and this transverse cascade seems to be favored for monochromatic mother waves. The expansion effect reduces the instability growth rate, and it can even suppress its onset for the lowest frequency modes considered here, possibly explaining the persistence of these outgoing waves in the solar wind.

description: Recently, all major weather centres issue ensemble forecasts which even covering the same domain differ both in the ensemble size and spatial resolution. These two parameters highly determine both the forecast skill of the prediction and the computation cost. In the last few years, the plans of upgrading the configuration of the Integrated Forecast System of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) from a single forecast with 9 km resolution and a 51-member ensemble with 18 km resolution induced an extensive study of the forecast skill of both raw and post-processed dual-resolution predictions comprising ensemble members of different horizontal resolutions. We investigate the predictive performance of the censored shifted gamma (CSG) ensemble model output statistic (EMOS) approach for statistical post-processing with the help of dual-resolution 24h precipitation accumulation ensemble forecasts over Europe with various forecast horizons. As high-resolution, the operational 50-member ECMWF ensemble is considered, which is extended with a 200-member low-resolution (29-km grid) experimental forecast. The investigated dual-resolution combinations consist of (possibly empty) subsets of these two forecast ensembles with equal computational cost, being equivalent to the cost of the operational 50-member ECMWF ensemble. Our case study verifies that, compared with the raw ensemble combinations, EMOS post-processing results in a significant improvement in forecast skill and the differences between the various dual-resolution combinations are reduced to a non-significant level. Moreover, the semi-locally trained CSG EMOS is fully able to catch up with the state-of-the-art quantile mapping and provides an efficient alternative without requiring additional historical data essential in determining the quantile maps.

From Reinforcement Learning to Robot Learning: Leveraging Prior Data and Shared Evaluation
Creators: name: Dean, Victoria
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: Adaptive Agents and Intelligent Robotics

description: Deep learning holds promise for learning complex patterns from data, which is especially useful when the input or output space is large. In robot learning, both the input (images or other sensor data) and the output (actions such as joint angles) can be large, suggesting that deep learning could be especially well-suited to making progress on challenging problems in robotics. However, unlike most machine learning applications, robotics involves physical constraints that make off-the-shelf learning challenging. Robots are expensive and typically require human involvement for resetting environments and fixing hardware. These constraints make large-scale data collection and training difficult, presenting a major roadblock to applying today’s data-intensive algorithms. Robot learning has an additional roadblock in evaluation: every physical space is different, making results across labs inconsistent. Two common assumptions of the robot learning paradigm limit data efficiency. First, an agent typically assumes isolated environments and no prior knowledge or experience – learning is done tabula-rasa. Second, agents typically receive only image observations as input, relying on vision alone to learn tasks. However, in the real world, humans learn with many senses across many environments and come with prior experiences as they learn new tasks. This approach is not only practical but also crucial for feasibility in real robotics where it is cost-prohibitive to collect many samples from deployed physical systems. In this thesis, I present work that lifts these two assumptions, improving the data efficiency of robot learning by leveraging multimodality and pretraining. First, I show how multimodal sensing like sight and sound can provide rich self-supervision (Chapter 2). Second, I introduce a framework for pretraining and evaluating selfsupervised exploration via environment transfer (Chapter 3). In Chapter 4, I apply these ideas to real-world manipulation, combining the benefits of large-scale pretraining and multimodality through audio-visual pretraining for contact microphones. Finally, drawing upon the benchmarking efforts from Chapter 3, I introduce a real-robot benchmark for evaluating the generalization of both visual and policy learning methods via shared data and hardware (Chapter 5).

description: We present new theoretical stellar evolutionary models of metal-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Stellar models are evolved with initial masses between 1Msun and 7Msun at Z=0.007, and 1Msun and 8Msun at Z=0.014 (solar) and at Z=0.03. We evolve models with a canonical helium abundance and with helium enriched compositions (Y=0.30, 0.35, 0.40) at Z=0.014 and Z=0.03. The efficiency of third dredge-up and the mass range of carbon stars decreases with an increase in metallicity. We predict carbon stars form from initial masses between 1.75-7Msun at Z=0.007 and between 2-4.5Msun at solar metallicity. At Z=0.03 the mass range for C-star production is narrowed to 3.25-4Msun. The third dredge-up is reduced when the helium content of the model increases owing to the reduced number of thermal pulses on the AGB. A small increase of Delta Y = 0.05 is enough to prevent the formation of C stars at Z=0.03, depending on the mass-loss rate, whereas at Z=0.014, an increase of Delta Y = 0.1 is required to prevent the formation of C stars. We speculate that the probability of finding C stars in a stellar population depends as much on the helium abundance as on the metallicity. To explain the paucity of C stars in the inner region of M31 we conclude that the observed stars have Y > 0.35 or that the stellar metallicity is higher than [Fe/H] ~ 0.1.

Calnexin and fatty acid binding protein 5 (Fabp5) complex in the blood-brain barrier
Creators: Paskevicius, Tautvydas
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Calnexin is a type 1 integral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein and molecular chaperone involved in the folding and quality control of membrane associated and secreted proteins. The ER luminal domain of calnexin is responsible for the chaperone function, whereas the C-terminal domain is oriented to the cytoplasm and provides the link between ER luminal events and cytoplasmic signaling. This unique C-terminal domain of the protein undergoes distinct post-translational modifications including palmitoylation, SUMOylation and phosphorylation. In addition to that, the calnexin C-terminal domain interacts with various proteins including fatty acid binding protein 5 (Fabp5), a small (~15-kDa) cytoplasmic lipid chaperone that binds long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands.

We have discovered that multiple sclerosis (MS) patients have unusually high abundance of calnexin and Fabp5 in their blood-brain barrier (BBB) endothelial cells. The loss of either calnexin or Fabp5 in mice confers resistance to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of MS. Moreover, calnexin-deficient (Canx-/-) mice expressing a recombinant calnexin derivative that is missing the cytoplasmic C-terminal domain remain partially protected from EAE symptoms, indicating that deletion of the C-terminal domain alone, the site of the calnexin/Fabp5 complex formation, have protective effects against EAE symptoms.

We identified that resistance to EAE in Canx-/- mice was due to inhibition of trans-endothelial T-cell migration across the brain endothelial cell monolayer when calnexin and Fabp5 complex formation is prevented. These findings uncovered the existence of an unanticipated link between the calnexin C-terminal domain/Fabp5 complex and EAE/MS pathogenesis.

description: This review attempts to provide some sense of our current knowledge of water including overall patterns of intake and some factors linked with intake, the complex mechanisms behind water homeostasis, the effects of variation in water intake on health and energy intake, weight, and human performance and functioning. Water represents a critical nutrient whose absence will be lethal within days. Water’s importance for prevention of nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases has emerged more recently because of the shift toward large proportions of fluids coming from caloric beverages. Nevertheless, there are major gaps in knowledge related to measurement of total fluid intake, hydration status at the population level, and few longer-term systematic interventions and no published random-controlled longer-term trials. We suggest some ways to examine water requirements as a means to encouraging more dialogue on this important topic.

description: An architectural assessment of Building 610 at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Included is the structure's description, significance, and character-defining features, as well as a condition summary, and general assessment of building condition and integrity. Building 610 is one of a series of interconnected barracks known as the Long Barracks (Building Nos. 603–610, 613). The Long Barracks extends the entirety of the east end of the parade ground in the historic Infantry Post and is a major contributing element of the Fort Sam Houston National Historic Landmark District. As a consequence of its historical significance, large footprint (combined with the other sections of barracks), efficient arrangement for egress, and sound structural condition, it is recommended that Building 610 be considered a good candidate for reuse. Rehabilitation costs for this property are not expected to exceed new construction costs (which is typically around $243 per square foot for new administrative facilities at Fort Sam Houston) for a similar size facility.
Intergenerational impact of maternal obesity and postnatal feeding practices on pediatric obesity
Creators: name: Thompson, Amanda L
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: The postnatal feeding practices of obese and overweight mothers may place their children at particular risk for the development of obesity through shared biology and family environments. This paper reviews the feeding practices of obese mothers, describes potential mechanisms linking maternal feeding behaviors to child obesity risk, and highlights potential avenues for intervention. This review documents that supporting breastfeeding, improving the food choices of obese women, and encouraging the development of feeding styles that are responsive to hunger and satiety cues are important for improving the quality of the eating environment and preventing the intergenerational transmission of obesity.

Resonating Valence-Bond State in an Orbitally Degenerate Quantum Magnet with Dynamical Jahn-Teller Effect

description: Short-range resonating-valence bond states in an orbitally degenerate magnet on a honeycomb lattice is studied. A quantum-dimer model is derived from the Hamiltonian which represents the superexchange interaction and the dynamical Jahn-Teller (JT) effect. We introduce two local units termed "spin-orbital singlet dimer", where two spins in a nearest-neighbor bond form a singlet state associated with an orbital polarization along the bond, and "local JT singlet", where an orbital polarization is quenched due to the dynamical JT effect. A derived quantum-dimer model consists of the hopping of the spin-orbital singlet dimers and the JT singlets, and the chemical potential of the JT singlets. We analyze the model by the mean-field approximation, and find that a characteristic phase, termed "JT liquid phase", where both the spin-orbital singlet dimers and the JT singlets move quantum mechanically, is realized. Possible scenarios for the recently observed non magnetic-ordered state in Ba$_3$CuSb$_2$O$_9$ are discussed.

description: It is an established understanding that the electromagnetic contribution (the plasmon-mediated enhancement of the laser and scattered local electromagnetic fields) is the main actor in Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS), with the so-called chemical (molecule-related) contribution assuming only, if any, a supporting role. The conclusion of our comprehensive resonant study of a broad range of nanosphere lithography based metallic substrates, with covalently attached 4-mercaptobenzoic acid monolayers used as probe (molecules non-resonant in solution), is that this accepted understanding needs to be revised. We present a detailed resonant SERS study of Metal-film over nanosphere (MFON) substrates done both by scanning the laser wavelength, and by tuning the plasmon response through the nanosphere diameter. Far and local field properties are characterized through measures of optical reflectivity and SERS efficiency, respectively, and are supported by numerical simulations. We demonstrate that the SERS efficiency depends indeed on the electromagnetic mechanism, determined by the plasmonic response of the system, but we observe that it is also strongly defined by a chemical resonant contribution related to a metal-to-ligand electronic transition of the covalently bound probe molecule. Optimum amplification occurs when the plasmon modes intersect with the ligand-to-metal chemical resonance, contributing synergically both mechanisms together. The same general trend is observed for other nanosphere lithography based substrates, including sphere-segment void cavities and hexagonally ordered triangular nanoparticles, using both Ag or Au as the plasmonic metal, and also with a commercial substrate (Klarite). We conclude that a deep understanding of both the electromagnetic and chemical mechanisms is necessary to fully exploit these substrates for analytical applications.
