description: In-vehicle traffic lights have been demonstrated as an effective method to assist drivers in crossing unsignalized intersections, by displaying virtual traffic lights inside vehicles based on vehicle-to-vehicle communications. However, previous studies assumed that all the vehicles were equipped with vehicular communications, of which the deployment might last for decades. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the application of the system in partial deployment scenarios. This study aimed to analyze the influences of in-vehicle traffic light system on driving safety at unsignalized intersections within different penetration rates. Driving simulator experiments involving 18 participants were performed. Evaluation indexes including post-encroachment time, maximum acceleration stroke of ego vehicle, and times of near miss incidents were investigated for different penetration rates of vehicular communications. Significant differences were observed between the conditions when no in-vehicle traffic light was used and when the penetration rate was 100% for the post-encroachment time (p = 0.02), and the maximum acceleration stroke of ego vehicle (p = 0.05). Meanwhile, it was found that the post-encroachment time slightly decreased, and the times of near miss incidents slightly increased when the penetration rate increased from 0% to 50%. However, the post-encroachment time was still longer for different penetration rates, compared to the condition when no in-vehicle traffic light was applied. The results indicated that the in-vehicle traffic light system could significantly improve driving safety at unsignalized intersections when the penetration rate was 100%. For partial deployment conditions, it is essential to speed up the deployment of vehicular communication-based driver assistance systems within early deployment stage, especially when the penetration rate was within 50%, to ensure driving safety.

description: Differential privacy (DP) uses a probabilistic framework to measure the level of privacy protection of a mechanism that releases data analysis results to the public. Although DP is widely used by both government and industry, there is still a lack of research on statistical inference under DP guarantees. On the one hand, existing DP mechanisms mainly aim to extract dataset-level information instead of population-level information. On the other hand, DP mechanisms introduce calibrated noises into the released statistics, which often results in sampling distributions more complex and intractable than the non-private ones. This dissertation aims to provide general-purpose methods for statistical inference, such as confidence intervals (CIs) and hypothesis tests (HTs), that satisfy the DP guarantees. In the first part of the dissertation, we examine a DP bootstrap procedure that releases multiple private bootstrap estimates to construct DP CIs. We present new DP guarantees for this procedure and propose to use deconvolution with DP bootstrap estimates to derive CIs for inference tasks such as population mean, logistic regression, and quantile regression. Our method achieves the nominal coverage level in both simulations and real-world experiments and offers the first approach to private inference for quantile regression.In the second part of the dissertation, we propose to use the simulation-based ``repro sample'' approach to produce CIs and HTs based on DP statistics. Our methodology has finite-sample guarantees and can be applied to a wide variety of private inference problems. It appropriately accounts for biases introduced by DP mechanisms (such as by clamping) and improves over other state-of-the-art inference methods in terms of the coverage and type I error of the private inference. In the third part of the dissertation, we design a debiased parametric bootstrap framework for DP statistical inference. We propose the adaptive indirect estimator, a novel simulation-based estimator that is consistent and corrects the clamping bias in the DP mechanisms. We also prove that our estimator has the optimal asymptotic variance among all well-behaved consistent estimators, and the parametric bootstrap results based on our estimator are consistent. Simulation studies show that our framework produces valid DP CIs and HTs in finite sample settings, and it is more efficient than other state-of-the-art methods.

description: We study the quantum complexity class QNC^0_f of quantum operations implementable exactly by constant-depth polynomial-size quantum circuits with unbounded fan-out gates (called QNC^0_f circuits). Our main result is that the quantum OR operation is in QNC^0_f, which is an affirmative answer to the question of Hoyer and Spalek. In sharp contrast to the strict hierarchy of the classical complexity classes: NC^0 \subsetneq AC^0 \subsetneq TC^0, our result with Hoyer and Spalek's one implies the collapse of the hierarchy of the corresponding quantum ones: QNC^0_f = QAC^0_f = QTC^0_f. Then, we show that there exists a constant-depth subquadratic-size quantum circuit for the quantum threshold operation. This implies the size difference between the QNC^0_f and QTC^0_f circuits for implementing the same quantum operation. Lastly, we show that, if the quantum Fourier transform modulo a prime is in QNC^0_f, there exists a polynomial-time exact classical algorithm for a discrete logarithm problem using a QNC^0_f oracle. This implies that, under a plausible assumption, there exists a classically hard problem that is solvable exactly by a QNC^0_f circuit with gates for the quantum Fourier transform.

Quantification of motor unit activity and steadiness in a functional task
Creators: name: Cornett, Kayla Margaret Dawn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The ability to control functional movement is essential for daily life. Extensive literature exists on lower motor unit (MU) recruitment thresholds and greater discharge rates in anisometric compared with isometric contractions. This difference is in-part related to task specificity. To-date the spinal control of functional movement has not been evaluated relative to the performance of functional movement. The purpose of this thesis was to quantify and evaluate MU activity and steadiness in a functional task compared to anisometric and isometric contractions. Thirteen female subjects (22.5 ± 2.9 years) were recruited. Surface and intramuscular electromyography (EMG) were recorded from the elbow flexor muscles. Subjects performed 4 experimental contractions; 1. a waterbottle drinking task where subjects lifted a waterbottle, took a sip of water and lowered the bottle (functional task); 2. a waterbottle lifting task performed identical to the previous but without drinking; 3. an anisometric contraction matched for load, range of motion, and acceleration; 4. a load matched isometric contraction. Repeated measures ANOVAs were used to assess EMG, MU recruitment and discharge rates and steadiness between the contractions. Surface EMG was not different between the three movement tasks but lower during the isometric contraction. The waterbottle drinking task had the highest discharge rate, as well as discharge rate variability and was the least steady. There were no differences in recruitment between the 4 contraction types. This was the first study to evaluate MU activity in functional tasks. It is clear that functional tasks require unique activation strategies which occur primarily through alterations in MU discharge rate. Thus, spinal control is not only task specific, but also related to goal-directed outcomes of the movement.

description: Chern-Weil theory provides for each invariant polynomial on a Lie algebra g a map from g-connections to differential cocycles whose volume holonomy is the corresponding Chern-Simons theory action functional. Kotov and Strobl have observed that this naturally generalizes from Lie algebras to dg-manifolds and dg-bundles and that the Chern-Simons action functional associated this way to an $n$-symplectic manifold is the action functional of the AKSZ $σ$-model whose target space is the given $n$-symplectic manifold (examples of this are the Poisson sigma-model or the Courant sigma-model, including ordinary Chern-Simons theory, or higher dimensional abelian Chern-Simons theory). Here we show how, within the framework of the higher Chern-Weil theory in smooth infinity-groupoids, this result can be naturally recovered and enhanced to a morphism of higher stacks, the same way as ordinary Chern-Simons theory is enhanced to a morphism from the stack of principal G-bundles with connections to the 3-stack of line 3-bundles with connections.
description: We learned that an equivalent Chern-Weil description of AKSZ sigma-models is already presented in [arXiv:0711.4106] in the language of Q-manifolds. This result is now properly credited. We thank Alexei Kotov and Thomas Strobl for this remark

A numerical model for predicting and optimizing the temperature profile in multi-stage roll forming of thermoplastic composites
Creators: name: Schuetze, Dylan Daniel Carl
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The thermal profile through a product’s thickness and over the duration of the forming process on polymer matrix composites can have a significant effect on ensuing undesired deformation modes, such as spring-in or spring forward. The following thesis describes the development of a comprehensive thermal finite element model (FEM) of a multi-stage roll forming process for a commingled glass-fibre and polypropylene (PP) woven composite. Over the progression of developing the model, as the process of roll forming when applied to this thermoplastic composite material is relatively new, many previously unavailable properties and characteristics needed to be quantified and described. The developed model can provide the manufacturer with the ability to predict the crystallization point of the composite under alternative forming conditions and therefore, optimize the rolling schedule of the process. Also, when used in conjunction with a similar “simplified” mechanical model, it can estimate the undesired end product deformations such as spring-in. In particular, it is shown that the combination of simple thermal and mechanical models can provide an accurate description of the manufacturing process without the need for computationally expensive, fully coupled 3D models. Furthermore the FEM allows the manufacturer to investigate the robustness of the forming process and the effect of modifications to processing parameters. The ability to predict the thermal profile under varying process conditions henceforth provides a designer the ability to create accurate tooling geometry in order to compensate for final product spring-in and optimize the roll schedule according to the crystallization region of the material, while avoiding or greatly reducing the costly and time consuming trial and error methods otherwise required for such process optimization.

In the case of second-order polynomials of the form $x+2\cos{π/n_o}+x^{-1}$ these transformations are related to triangulations of Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus with at least one hole/puncture and with an arbitrary number of orbifold points of arbitrary integer orders $n_o$. We propose the dual graph description of the corresponding Teichmüller spaces, construct the Poisson algebra of the Teichmüller space coordinates, propose the combinatorial description of the corresponding geodesic functions and find the mapping class group transformations.

description: I summarize recent surveys of protoplanetary disks at millimeter wavelengths and show that the distribution of luminosity, equivalent to the mass in small dust grains, declines rapidly. This contrasts with statistics on the lifetime of disks from infrared observations and the high occurrence of planets from radial velocity and transit surveys. I suggest that these disparate results can be reconciled if most of the dust in a disk is locked up in millimeter and larger sized particles within about 2 Myr. This statistical result on disk evolution agrees with detailed modeling of a small number of individual disks and with cosmochemical measurements of rapid planetesimal formation.

description: We review weakly-bound heavy quarkonium systems using effective field theories of QCD. We concentrate on potential Non-Relativistic QCD, which provides with a well founded connection between QCD and descriptions of the heavy quarkonium dynamics in terms of Schrödinger-like equations. This connection is obtained using standard quantum field theory techniques such as dimensional regularization, which is used throughout, and renormalization. Renormalization group equations naturally follow. Certain effort is made to illustrate how computations are performed and the necessary techniques, providing some examples. Finally, we briefly review a selected set of applications, which include spectroscopy, radiative transitions, Non-Relativistic sum rules, inclusive decays, and electromagnetic threshold production.

Morphometric Characterization of Longitudinal Striae on Martian Landslides and Impact Ejecta Blankets and Implications for the Formation Mechanism
Creators: name: Pietrek, Alexa
name: Hergarten, Stefan
name: Kenkmann, Thomas
Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2020

description: Longitudinal striae are a shared characteristic of long run-out landslides and layered ejecta crater deposits. They appear to be a fundamental feature of disintegrated mass flows, but their formation and the required conditions are poorly understood. We evaluated their similarity using spectral analysis and assessed the possibility of a common formation mechanism. The topography of striae is scale-invariant in the form of a power law relationship of the power spectrum and the derived spectral exponent and amplitude factor, which are a measure for roughness, show similar correlations on both types of deposit. There is no correlation to geologic substrate units, latitude, or age. Parameter values are isotropic in horizontal direction for ejecta deposits and show a weak anisotropy for landslide deposits. Spectral parameter values of substrate topography match well with the values of the superposed deposit, which indicates that roughness is transferred from substrate to deposit surface during emplacement. Testing different geometric models, we find that a simple superposition of topography with a semideterministic, anisotropic pattern does not reproduce the patterns of our data. We find that phase locking of a surface with scale-invariant properties creates striae with fractal properties close to our natural data sets as well as recreating other morphological features that can form alongside striae. Although the transferal of substrate roughness cannot be fully conciliated with conventional flow models, we find that a model that combines advection with lateral diffusion accounts for the unidirectional preservation of phase information and is also consistent with the scale-invariance of striae.

description: A classic no-go theorem in one-dimensional quantum mechanics can be evaded when the potentials are unbounded below, thus allowing for novel parity-paired degenerate energy bound states. We numerically determine the spectrum of one such potential and study the parametric variation of the transition wavelength between a bound state lying inside the valley of the potential and another, von Neumann-Wigner-like state, appearing above the potential maximum. We then construct a modified potential which is bounded below except when a parameter is tuned to vanish. We show how the spacing between certain energy levels gradually decreases as we tune the parameter to approach the value for which unboundedness arises, thus quantitatively linking the closeness of degeneracy to the steepness of the potential. Our results are generic to a large class of such potentials. Apart from their conceptual interest, such potentials might be realisable in mesoscopic systems thus allowing for the experimental study of the novel states. The numerical spectrum in this study is determined using the asymptotic iteration method which we briefly review.

description: Computation of the ionization and radiation dose in arbitrary (exo-) planetary atmospheres due to energetic particles is recently becoming more important due to several reasons that are either correlated with the detection of trace gases for life on exoplanets or with computing dose rates at arbitrary altitudes in the Earth atmosphere. We previously presented Atmospheric Radiation Interaction Simulator, a new Geant4-based code tailored specifically to enable parametric studies of radiation propagation through exoplanetary atmospheres (Banjac et al., 2019 https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JA026042). Therein, the calculation of ion-electron pair production rates, which are a mandatory input for chemical and atmospheric modeling, has been presented and validated against Earth measurements and also other, similar, but solar-system-specific Geant4-based codes (PLANETOCOSMICS). In addition to providing input for atmospheric modeling of exoplanets, with AtRIS we aim to directly characterize the habitability by calculating the absorbed dose. In this technical validation study, after showing a detailed analysis of the secondary particles contributing to the atmospheric radiation, we describe a feature of the code which makes direct parametric studies of the interrelation of incident radiation and the resulting absorbed dose throughout the atmosphere possible. In a validation case study configured using an atmospheric model obtained with NRLMSISE-00 and a primary proton and helium GCR flux calculated using a recent improvement of the force-field approach, we have compared simulation results with measurements obtained with the Flight Radiation Environment Detector (FRED). We show that Atmospheric Radiation Interaction Simulator (AtRIS) can reproduce the measured dose rate dependence on altitude.

description: We describe a new approach for on-chip optical non-reciprocity which makes use of strong optomechanical interaction in microring resonators. By optically pumping the ring resonator in one direction, the optomechanical coupling is only enhanced in that direction, and consequently, the system exhibits a non-reciprocal response. For different configurations, this system can function either as an optical isolator or a coherent non-reciprocal phase shifter. We show that the operation of such a device on the level of single-photon could be achieved with existing technology.

description: In order to quantify the optimal radiation shielding depth on Mars in preparation for future human habitats on the red planet, it is important to understand the Martian radiation environment and its dependence on the planetary atmospheric and geological properties. With this motivation we calculate the absorbed dose and equivalent dose rates induced by galactic cosmic ray particles at varying heights above and below the Martian surface considering various subsurface compositions (ranging from dry rock to water-rich regolith). The state-of-the-art Atmospheric Radiation Interaction Simulator based on GEometry And Tracking Monte Carlo method has been employed for simulating particle interaction with the Martian atmosphere as well as subsurface materials. We calculate the absorbed dose in two different phantoms: a thin silicon slab and a water sphere. The former is used to validate our model against the surface measurement by the Radiation Assessment Detector on the Curiosity rover, while the later is used to approximate a human torso, also for evaluation of the biologically weighted equivalent dose. We find that the amount of hydrogen contained in the water-rich regolith plays an important role in reducing the equivalent dose through modulation of neutron flux (below 10 MeV). This effective shielding by underground water is also present above the surface, providing an indirect shielding for potential human explorations at this region. For long-term habitats seeking the Martian natural surface material as protection, we also estimate the optimal shielding depth, for different given subsurface compositions, under maximum, average, and minimum heliospheric modulation conditions.

description: We introduce a nonlocal transformation to generate exact solutions of the constant astigmatism equation $z_{yy} + (1/z)_{xx} + 2 = 0$. The transformation is related to the special case of the famous Bäcklund transformation of the sine-Gordon equation with the Bäcklund parameter $λ= \pm1$. It is also a nonlocal symmetry.
Non-axisymmetric oscillations of rapidly rotating relativistic stars by conformal flatness approximation

description: We present a new numerical code to compute non-axisymmetric eigenmodes of rapidly rotating relativistic stars by adopting spatially conformally flat approximation of general relativity. The approximation suppresses the radiative degree of freedom of relativistic gravity and the field equations are cast into a set of elliptic equations. The code is tested against the low-order f- and p-modes of slowly rotating stars for which a good agreement is observed in frequencies computed by our new code and those computed by the full theory. Entire sequences of the low order counter-rotating f-modes are computed, which are susceptible to an instability driven by gravitational radiation.

Beyond borders : perspectives from English-speaking Latin American immigrant women on their integration experiences in Kelowna and their transnational ties
Creators: name: Bishop, Shani Eulandi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Immigrants continue to endure challenges when settling and integrating in mid-sized cities. In a city such as Kelowna with a homogeneous ‘white’ and ‘older’ population, settlement and integration for immigrants of ‘other’ ethnicities is a challenge. This study focuses on English-speaking immigrant women from Latin America: their integration experiences in Kelowna and their transnational relationships. In addition, coping mechanisms used by immigrant women to overcome integration challenges are examined. Data for this exploratory case study were obtained from semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. Interviews were done with 10 key informants (government employees, settlement workers, lawyers, journalists, community leaders, and religious leaders) and a questionnaire was completed by 33 immigrant women from Latin America living in the city of Kelowna, all of whom were English speaking with Spanish as their first language. Of these immigrant women, six were randomly selected for in-depth interviews regarding the challenges they have faced in the process of integrating in Kelowna and in maintaining transnational ties with their countries of origin. The results from this study revealed some of the challenges Latin American immigrant women face when settling and integrating in Kelowna. These challenges include accented language, transferring work experience, having academic credentials recognized, and finding affordable housing. While these women face integration challenges, they stressed the importance of transnational ties with their home countries. Recommendations were made to all levels of government to improve the few services offered to immigrants and/or to implement new services to better assist newly arrived immigrants to Kelowna.

Restrictions on the lifetime of sterile neutrinos from primordial nucleosynthesis

description: We analyze the influence of decaying sterile neutrinos with the masses in the range 1-140 MeV on the primordial Helium-4 abundance, explicitly solving the Boltzmann equations for all particle species, taking into account neutrino flavour oscillations, and paying special attention to systematic uncertainties. We show that the Helium abundance depends only on the sterile neutrino lifetime and not on the way the active-sterile mixing is distributed between flavours, and derive an upper bound on the lifetime. We also demonstrate that the recent results of Izotov & Thuan [arXiv:1001.4440], who find 2sigma higher than predicted by the standard primordial nucleosynthesis value of Helium-4 abundance, are consistent with the presence in the plasma of sterile neutrinos with the lifetime 0.01-2 seconds. The decay of these particles perturbs the spectra of (decoupled) neutrinos and heats photons, changing the ratio of neutrino to photon energy density, that can be interpreted as extra neutrino species at the recombination epoch.

description: It is shown for a class of random, time-independent, square-integrable, three-dimensional magnetic fields that the one-loop effective fermion action of four-dimensional QED increases faster than a quadratic in B in the strong coupling limit. The limit is universal. The result relies on the paramagnetism of charged spin - 1/2 fermions and the diamagnetism of charged scalar bosons.
Tensor hierarchies, Borcherds algebras and E11

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Gauge deformations of maximal supergravity in D=11-n dimensions generically give rise to a tensor hierarchy of p-form fields that transform in specific representations of the global symmetry group E(n). We derive the formulas defining the hierarchy from a Borcherds superalgebra corresponding to E(n). This explains why the E(n) representations in the tensor hierarchies also appear in the level decomposition of the Borcherds superalgebra. We show that the indefinite Kac-Moody algebra E(11) can be used equivalently to determine these representations, up to p=D, and for arbitrarily large p if E(11) is replaced by E(r) with sufficiently large rank r.
