Deconstruction and maintenance of steel bridge using fatigue data and BIM
Creators: name: Wokem, Christian

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Design for deconstruction is one of the emerging concepts for sustainability. For existing structures, the concept can be extended to optimize maintenance schedule for different components. Many existing steel bridges are at a stage in their lives where decisions need to be made to either continue in existing condition, to strengthen or to deconstruct them. This decision is highly dependent on the fatigue resistance of the steel connections which is a function of remaining structural strength, service load, expected future use and other environmental factors. Over the years a great deal of research work has been done in assessing the fatigue life of steel structures. This study utilizes these fatigue information to carry out a life cycle assessment of bridge elements and layer the system using BIM. As the BIM system will apply economic analysis for maintaining the bridge versus deconstructing and rebuilding of a new bridge, it will be instrumental to optimize the decision on any intervention in the bridge.

Beyond 2-approximation for k-Center in Graphs

description: We consider the classical $k$-Center problem in undirected graphs. The problem is known to have a polynomial-time 2-approximation. There are even $(2+\varepsilon)$-approximations running in near-linear time. The conventional wisdom is that the problem is closed, as $(2-\varepsilon)$-approximation is NP-hard when $k$ is part of the input, and for constant $k\geq 2$ it requires $n^{k-o(1)}$ time under SETH.
 Our first set of results show that one can beat the multiplicative factor of $2$ in undirected unweighted graphs if one is willing to allow additional small additive error, obtaining $(2-\varepsilon,O(1))$ approximations. We provide several algorithms that achieve such approximations for all integers $k$ with running time $O(n^{k-δ})$ for $δ>0$. For instance, for every $k\geq 2$, we obtain an $O(mn + n^{k/2+1})$ time $(2 - \frac{1}{2k-1}, 1 - \frac{1}{2k-1})$-approximation to $k$-Center. For $2$-Center we also obtain an $\tilde{O}(mn^{ω/3})$ time $(5/3,2/3)$-approximation algorithm. Notably, the running time of this $2$-Center algorithm is faster than the time needed to compute APSP.
 Our second set of results are strong fine-grained lower bounds for $k$-Center. We show that our $(3/2,O(1))$-approximation algorithm is optimal, under SETH, as any $(3/2-\varepsilon,O(1))$-approximation algorithm requires $n^{k-o(1)}$ time. We also give a time/approximation trade-off: under SETH, for any integer $t\geq 1$, $n^{k/t^2-1-o(1)}$ time is needed for any $(2-1/(2t-1),O(1))$-approximation algorithm for $k$-Center. This explains why our $(2-\varepsilon,O(1))$ approximation algorithms have $k$ appearing in the exponent of the running time. Our reductions also imply that, assuming ETH, the approximation ratio 2 of the known near-linear time algorithms cannot be improved by any algorithm whose running time is a polynomial independent of $k$, even if one allows additive error.

Multi-agent system for improved safety and productivity of earthwork equipment using real-timelocation systems

description: The growing complexity and scope of construction projects is making productivity and safety of earthwork of a great concern for project and site managers. In earthwork operations, where heavy machines are being used, various safety and risk issues put the timely completion of a project at stake. Additionally, the construction working environment is heavily susceptible to unforeseen changes and circumstances that could impact the project, both cost and schedule wise. As a response to the looming safety threats or unforeseen changes of working conditions, re-planning is almost always required. In order for re-planning to yield the optimum results, real-time information gathering and processing is a must. GPS and other Real-time Location Systems (RTLSs) have been used for the purpose of real-time data gathering and decision-making in recent years. Similarly, Location-based Guidance Systems (LGSs), e.g., Automated Machine Control/Guidance (AMC/G), are introduced and have been employed mainly for the purpose of high-precision earthwork operations. However, the current application of LGS is limited to the machine-level productivity optimization, which is not sufficient to address the project-level monitoring and decision-making needs. In the context of complex earthwork operations where several teams are concurrently working towards different ends, the globally optimized operations should coordinate the actions of multiple teams of equipment to eliminate the productivity lost by organizational, logistics and operational management. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to develop a Multi-agent System (MAS) structure to orchestrate the machine-level information (i.e. states and poses) induced based on RTLSs to a coherent project-level system committed to support operations towards the enhanced productivity and safety of the overall project. In the proposed MAS, several layers of agents are processing and managing the huge amount of collected sensory data into useful information that can be used in decision making at different operational levels. The proposed MAS has a semi-distributed structure to strike a balance between the optimality of the outputs and the required computational efforts. A case study is developed to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed MAS. Also, a two-layer safety mechanism is proposed based on which near real-time collision-free path planning and real-time collision avoidance can be performed. In the light of the results of the case study, it is found that the the proposed MAS structure is able to effectively address the team-level coordination of different pieces of equipment and improve the safety of construction site using the proposed two-layer safety mechanism.

description: We present a simulation of various active learning strategies for the discovery of polymer solar cell donor/acceptor pairs using data extracted from the literature spanning $\sim$20 years by a natural language processing pipeline. While data-driven methods have been well established to discover novel materials faster than Edisonian trial-and-error approaches, their benefits have not been quantified for material discovery problems that can take decades. Our approach demonstrates a potential reduction in discovery time by approximately 75 %, equivalent to a 15 year acceleration in material innovation. Our pipeline enables us to extract data from greater than 3300 papers which is $\sim$5 times larger and therefore more diverse than similar data sets reported by others. We also trained machine learning models to predict the power conversion efficiency and used our model to identify promising donor-acceptor combinations that are as yet unreported. We thus demonstrate a pipeline that goes from published literature to extracted material property data which in turn is used to obtain data-driven insights. Our insights include active learning strategies that can be used to train strong predictive models of material properties or be robust to the initial material system used. This work provides a valuable framework for data-driven research in materials science.

description: The scalability of blockchain technology remains a pivotal challenge, impeding its widespread adoption across various sectors. This study introduces an innovative approach to address this challenge by proposing the adaptive restructuring of Merkle and Verkle trees, fundamental components of blockchain architecture responsible for ensuring data integrity and facilitating efficient verification processes. Unlike traditional static tree structures, our adaptive model dynamically adjusts the configuration of these trees based on usage patterns, significantly reducing the average path length required for verification and, consequently, the computational overhead associated with these processes. Through a comprehensive conceptual framework, we delineate the methodology for adaptive restructuring, encompassing both binary and non-binary tree configurations. This framework is validated through a series of detailed examples, demonstrating the practical feasibility and the efficiency gains achievable with our approach. Moreover, we present a comparative analysis with existing scalability solutions, highlighting the unique advantages of adaptive restructuring in terms of simplicity, security, and efficiency enhancement without introducing additional complexities or dependencies. This study's implications extend beyond theoretical advancements, offering a scalable, secure, and efficient method for blockchain data verification that could facilitate broader adoption of blockchain technology in finance, supply chain management, and beyond. As the blockchain ecosystem continues to evolve, the principles and methodologies outlined herein are poised to contribute significantly to its growth and maturity.

description: Condensed matter systems are continuously subjected to dissipation, which often has adverse effects on quantum phenomena. We focus on the impact of dissipation on a superconducting Rashba nanowire. We reveal that the system can still host Majorana zero-modes (MZMs) with a finite lifetime in the presence of dissipation. Most interestingly, dissipation can also generate two kinds of dissipative boundary states: four robust zero-modes (RZMs) and two MZMs, in the regime where the non-dissipative system is topologically trivial. The MZMs appear via bulk gap closing and are topologically characterized by a winding number. The RZMs are not associated with any bulk states and possess no winding number, but their emergence is instead tied to exceptional points. Further, we confirm the stability of the dissipation-induced RZMs and MZMs in the presence of random disorder. Our study paves the way for both realizing and stabilizing MZMs in an experimental setup, driven by dissipation.

description: One of the open challenges in quantum computing is to find meaningful and practical methods to leverage quantum computation to accelerate classical machine learning workflows. A ubiquitous problem in machine learning workflows is sampling from probability distributions that we only have access to via their log probability. To this end, we extend the well-known Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) method for Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling to leverage quantum computation in a hybrid manner as a proposal function. Our new algorithm, Quantum Dynamical Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (QD-HMC), replaces the classical symplectic integration proposal step with simulations of quantum-coherent continuous-space dynamics on digital or analogue quantum computers. We show that QD-HMC maintains key characteristics of HMC, such as maintaining the detailed balanced condition with momentum inversion, while also having the potential for polynomial speedups over its classical counterpart in certain scenarios. As sampling is a core subroutine in many forms of probabilistic inference, and MCMC in continuously-parameterized spaces covers a large-class of potential applications, this work widens the areas of applicability of quantum devices.

How open is the asteroid-mass primordial black hole window?

description: Primordial black holes (PBHs) can make up all of the dark matter (DM) if their mass, $m$, is in the so-called 'asteroid-mass window', $10^{17} \, {\rm g} \lesssim m \lesssim 10^{22} \, {\rm g}$. Observational constraints on the abundance of PBHs are usually calculated assuming they all have the same mass, however this is unlikely to be a good approximation. PBHs formed from the collapse of large density perturbations during radiation domination are expected to have an extended mass function (MF), due to the effects of critical collapse. The PBH MF is often assumed to be lognormal, however it has recently been shown that other functions are a better fit to numerically calculated MFs. We recalculate both current and potential future constraints for these improved fitting functions. We find that for current constraints the asteroid-mass window narrows, but remains open (i.e. all of the DM can be in the form of PBHs) unless the PBH MF is wider than expected. Future evaporation and microlensing constraints may together exclude all of the DM being in PBHs, depending on the width of the PBH MF and also the shape of its low and high mass tails.

Applying the chronographical approach for modelling to different types of projects
Creators: name: Francis, Adel
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Graphical modeling is considered to be a suitable approach for displaying project data because of its ability to effectively communicate information. To meet this objective, the Chronographic Approach analyses the layout of the user interface in the spatial dimension and discusses the suitable visual parameters and their associated values. The main goal is to communicate information clearly and effectively through a visual graphical representation of the schedule. This paper discusses the application of the Chronographical Approach to modeling different types of projects, such as buildings and infrastructure. The graphical approach describes how the schedule information can be communicated using tabular and graphical interfaces, in order to manage specialties, locations, means, processes and constraints on different strata and show them either separately or combined using layering, sheeting, juxtaposition, alterations and permutations while allowing for groupings, hierarchies and the classification of project information. The result is the presentation of the same project schedule through different compatible approaches. The planner has the ability to switch from one approach to another by changing the graphical parameters. In this way, graphic representation becomes a living, transformable image, thus assisting planners in solving problems of a variable nature, and simplifying site management while simultaneously utilizing the visual space as efficiently as possible.

title: Imagine Yourself as a Media and Computer Science Teacher
Creators: name: Zaugg, Pascal

Publisher: name: ACM
Year: 2022

description: In order to investigate pre-service primary teachers’ mental images and beliefs about Media and Computer Science teaching, the Draw-A-Science-Teacher-Test Checklist (DASTT-C) was adapted for the field of Media and Computer Science. For this explorative study, 78 student teachers were asked to imagine themselves as Media and Computer Science teacher before and after a methods seminar. Using a qualitative research approach and building upon the ideas of the Draw-A-Science-Teacher-Test Checklist, the drawings before and after the course were coded. A coding scheme was developed, resulting in the Draw-A-Media-And-Computer-Science-Teacher Repository (DMECS-R). Subsequently, the results of the coding were analysed and evaluated with a mixed-method approach. Quantitative comparison of the number of recategorizations of the drawings after the methods course, comparison of ‘average’ images, visualization with multidimensional scaling and qualitative observations of minimum and maximum individual changes have led the authors to three conclusions: (1) After the method course it is less likely that student teachers draw individual work of students. (2) After the course, student teachers were less likely to draw children working on closely guided assignments. Post-course, more student teachers draw pupils working on own projects and tasks. (3) After the method course, it is less likely that student teachers draw themselves in a conventional, classically furnished classroom with only chalkboard and neatly arranged tables and chairs. Taking a dialogic and constructivist approach of learning into account, this research shows that the methods course expanded the student teachers’ repertoire of teaching methods for Media and Computer Science lessons. For following studies in computer science education, the results should be verified by accompanying interviews and subsequently find their way into pedagogical training.

description: Recently, the structural disorder-induced topological phase transitions in periodic systems have attracted much attention. However, in aperiodic systems such as quasicrystalline systems, the interplay between structural disorder and band topology is still unclear. In this work, we investigate the effects of structural disorder on a quantum spin Hall insulator phase and a higher-order topological phase in a two-dimensional Amman-Beenker tiling quasicrystalline lattice, respectively. We demonstrate that the structural disorder can induce a topological phase transition from a quasicrystalline normal insulator phase to an amorphous quantum spin Hall insulator phase, which is confirmed by bulk gap closing and reopening, robust edge states, quantized spin Bott index and conductance. Furthermore, the structural disorder-induced higher-order topological phase transition from a quasicrystalline normal insulator phase to an amorphous higher-order topological phase characterized by quantized quadrupole moment and topological corner states is also found. More strikingly, the disorder-induced higher-order topological insulator with eight corner states represents a distinctive topological state that eludes realization in conventional crystalline systems. Our work extends the study of the interplay between disorder effects and topologies to quasicrystalline and amorphous systems.

description: We consider a two $β$-ensemble realization of the series of $β$-deformed WLZZ matrix models. We demonstrate that such a realization involves $β$-deformed Harish-Chandra-Itzykson-Zuber integrals, one of them providing a coupling to the external field. We also construct Ward identities in the corresponding two $β$-ensemble model, which requires a set of identities for partition function of the one $β$-ensemble in the external field, and a set of identities for the $β$-deformed Itzykson-Zuber integral. These both sets of identities are formulated in terms of the Dunkl operators.

From the Fokker-Planck equation to a contact Hamiltonian system

description: The Fokker-Planck equation is one of the fundamental equations in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, and this equation is known to be derived from the Wasserstein gradient flow equation with a free energy. This gradient flow equation describes relaxation processes and is formulated on a Riemannian manifold. Meanwhile contact Hamiltonian systems are also known to describe relaxation processes. Hence a relation between these two equations is expected to be clarified, which gives a solid foundation in geometric statistical mechanics. In this paper a class of contact Hamiltonian systems is derived from a class of the Fokker-Planck equations on Riemannian manifolds. In the course of the derivation, the Fokker-Planck equation is shown to be written as a diffusion equation with a weighted Laplacian without any approximation, which enables to employ a theory of eigenvalue problems.

description: At the request of M&E Pacific Inc., Cultural Surveys Hawaii Inc. conducted archaeological monitoring of the replacement of two underground fuel storage tanks and associated fuel lines with new above ground fuel storage tanks at Bellows Air Force Station, ahupua'a of Waimanalo, District of Koolaupoko, Oahu, Hawaii (TMK 4:1:15). Although the tanks were situated in previously disturbed fill their removal required excavation extending into previously undisturbed deposits. Due to the project areas proximity to the coast and the high probability that the excavation would be in sand there was the possibility of encountering undisturbed cultural deposits or inadvertent burials. Monitoring was conducted on three separate days. No cultural material or burials were encountered.
