description: We present status and results of AstroGrid-D, a joint effort of astrophysicists and computer scientists to employ grid technology for scientific applications. AstroGrid-D provides access to a network of distributed machines with a set of commands as well as software interfaces. It allows simple use of computer and storage facilities and to schedule or monitor compute tasks and data management. It is based on the Globus Toolkit middleware (GT4). Chapter 1 describes the context which led to the demand for advanced software solutions in Astrophysics, and we state the goals of the project. We then present characteristic astrophysical applications that have been implemented on AstroGrid-D in chapter 2. We describe simulations of different complexity, compute-intensive calculations running on multiple sites, and advanced applications for specific scientific purposes, such as a connection to robotic telescopes. We can show from these examples how grid execution improves e.g. the scientific workflow. Chapter 3 explains the software tools and services that we adapted or newly developed. Section 3.1 is focused on the administrative aspects of the infrastructure, to manage users and monitor activity. Section 3.2 characterises the central components of our architecture: The AstroGrid-D information service to collect and store metadata, a file management system, the data management system, and a job manager for automatic submission of compute tasks. We summarise the successfully established infrastructure in chapter 4, concluding with our future plans to establish AstroGrid-D as a platform of modern e-Astronomy.

Co-design of Environmental Compliance for High-speed Contact Tasks
Creators: name: Hartisch, Richard

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: The design of physical compliance – its location, de-
 gree, and structure – involves tradeoffs in collision performance,
 proprioceptive capabilities, and motion control performance.
 While compliance can be introduced in the robot (in the joints,
 flange, end-effector/gripper), most manipulation tasks are done in
 human-built environments, and compliance can also be integrated
 into the environment. This paper presents three prototypes
 for environment compliance, using additive manufacturing to
 integrate flexures and viscoelastic materials. Two remote center
 of compliance (RCC) devices and a 1-DOF linear device are
 prototyped and tested in high-speed assembly tasks

According to our main conjecture, each class in the Belavin-Drinfeld classification of Poisson-Lie structures on $\G$ corresponds to a cluster structure in $Ø(\G)$. We prove a reduction theorem explaining how different parts of the conjecture are related to each other. The conjecture is established for $SL_n$, $n<5$, and for any $\G$ in the case of the standard Poisson-Lie structure.

This study aims to analyze the type of metaphorical speech contained in Satou Kazutoyo's Justice faiz song that orientates the concept of space to the theory of Orientational Metaphor and Structural Metaphor Jhonsen & Lakkof (2003). This research method is a descriptive method with the following steps: listening to songs, looking for song lyrics transcripts on the internet, classifying the songs that contain orientational metaphors, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions from the data. It can be concluded that metaphor is used by writer to describe his ‘real meaning’ that can not be described with ‘ordinary’ words.
Lab-scale optimization and process modeling of anaerobic fermentation for maximizing volatile fatty acid production from municipal sludge
Creators: name: Nabaterega, Resty
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Volatile fatty acid (VFA) production from municipal sludge via anaerobic fermentation is a promising venture to reuse the sludge for resource recovery while ensuring the economic and ecological sustainability of wastewater treatment plants. However, information on optimum digester operating conditions to maximize VFA, especially acetic acid, remains unclear and incomparable. The current study investigated the impact of digester sludge retention time (SRT), temperature, pH, sludge composition, and their combinations on optimizing VFA production via anaerobic fermentation of municipal sludge in semi-continuous flow acid fermenters (AFs). A fractional factorial experimental design and response surface methodology were used to optimize VFA production from municipal sludge in the AFs based on the four critical parameters individually and interactively. To explain the mechanisms of VFA production dynamics, this study also explored batch non-methanogenic microbial activity assays (i.e., specific acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and hydrolysis) and linked them to VFA yields. The present study also modified the International Water Association Anaerobic digestion model No.1 (ADM1) to simulate the experimental VFA production. The fractional factorial design and response surface methodology successfully optimized VFA production in the AFs. A second-order polynomial model with an R-squared of 0.83 and an adjusted R-squared value of 0.84 was derived. The optimal model conditions for VFA production were 3-days SRT, 45°C, pH of 8.1, and sludge composition (VS/TS ratio) of 0.92. Under these conditions, the model simulated a 3.47-fold increase in VFA production, nearly identical to the experimental value of 3.48-fold. Furthermore, the AF had high activities in the non-methanogenic assays. These results suggested that batch non-methanogenic activity assays could provide quantitative information regarding the presence and activity of cultures in continuously fed anaerobic digestion utilizing more complex substrates, such as municipal sludge. Additionally, the modified ADM1 implemented in the AQUASIM 2.0 modeling platform successfully simulated the experimental VFA production.

description: Honey bees are highly prone to infectious diseases, causing colony losses in the worst case. However, they combat diseases through a combination of their innate immune system and social defence behaviours like foraging for health-enhancing plant products (e.g. nectar, pollen and resin). Plant secondary metabolites are not only highly active against bacteria and fungi, they might even enhance selective foraging and feeding decisions in the colony. Here, we tested six major plant terpenes and their corresponding acetates, characterizing six natural Thymus vulgaris chemotypes, for their antimicrobial activity on bacteria associated with European foulbrood. Comparison of the inhibitory activity revealed the highest activity for carvacrol and thymol whereas the acetates mostly did not inhibit bacterial growth. All terpenes and acetates are present in the nectar and pollen of thyme, with pollen containing concentrations higher by several orders of magnitude. The physiological response was tested on forager and freshly emerged bees by means of antennal electroantennography. Both responded much stronger to geraniol and trans-sabinene hydrate compared to carvacrol and thymol. In conclusion, bee-forageable thyme product terpenes (mainly from pollen) yield effective antibiotic activity by reducing the growth of bee disease-associated bacteria and can be detected with different response levels by the honey bees’ antennae. This is a further step forward in understanding the complex pathogen-pollinator-plant network.

description: The Kekule structure of the ground state of (5,5) armchair carbon nanotube is revealed by semiempirical molecular orbital calculations. This structure has bonds with two different bond lengths, differing by 0.003 nm. The ground state has tripled (compared to undistorted case) translational period due to Peierls distortions. Two first order structural phase transitions controlled by the tension are predicted at zero temperature. These transitions correspond to 5% and 13% elongations of a uniaxially deformed (5,5) nanotube. The narrow gap semiconductor to metal transition is predicted at 5% elongation of the nanotube.

description: It is known that the SU(2) degrees of freedom manifest in the description of the gravitational field in loop quantum gravity are generally reduced to U(1) degrees of freedom on an $S^2$ isolated horizon. General relativity also allows black holes with planar, toroidal, or higher genus topology for their horizons. These solutions also meet the criteria for an isolated horizon, save for the topological criterion, which is not crucial. We discuss the relevant corresponding symmetry reduction for black holes of various topologies (genus 0 and $\geq 2$) here and discuss its ramifications to black hole entropy within the loop quantum gravity paradigm. Quantities relevant to the horizon theory are calculated explicitly using a generalized ansatz for the connection and densitized triad, as well as utilizing a general metric admitting hyperbolic sub-spaces. In all scenarios, the internal symmetry may be reduced to combinations of U(1).

description: Motivated by recent attempts to find nontrivial infrared fixed points in 4-dimensional lattice gauge theories, we discuss the extension of the renormalization group (RG) transformations to complex coupling spaces for O(N) models on LxL lattices, in the large-N limit. We explain the Riemann sheet structure and singular points of the finite L mappings between the mass gap and the 't Hooft coupling. We argue that the Fisher's zeros appear on "strings" ending approximately near these singular points. We show that for the spherical model at finite N and L, the density of states is stripwise polynomial in the complex energy plane. We compare finite volume complex flows obtained from the rescaling of the ultraviolet cutoff in the gap equation and from the two-lattice matching. In both cases, the flows are channelled through the singular points and end at the strong coupling fixed points, however strong scheme dependence appear when the Compton wavelength of the mass gap is larger than the linear size of the system. We argue that the Fisher's zeros control the global properties of the complex flows. We briefly discuss the implications for perturbation theory, proofs of confinement and searches for nontrivial infrared fixed points in models beyond the standard model.

description: Microplastics are separated from environmental samples based on their electrostatic behavior. They were taken with a continuous flow centrifuge and by sediment cores. The effects of different plastics on Lumbriculus variegatus were determined and whether the plastic types dissolve poisonous additives in the water phase. The results of a sediment contact test show that PVC had a negative effect on mortality with an LC 50 of 1.7 mg/g dw. The glycogen content of the surviving worms show that only the increasing concentration of PVC causes a negative effect. Additives were leached of the plastics.

It is clearly illustrated that the energy renormalization gives rise to a dynamic charge blockade mechanism, which eventually results in super-Poissonian noise. Coupling of the double dots to an external heat bath leads to dephasing and relaxation mechanisms, which are demonstrated to suppress the noise in a unique way.

In the K^+Lambda channel we show that the model can nicely describe the available experimental data. In the K^0Lambda channel we demonstrate that the K^0 charge form factor has sizable effects on the longitudinal cross section. By extending the model up to W = 1730 MeV, we are able to observe the existence of the narrow P_{11} (J^p = 1/2^+) resonance in the kaon photoproduction process. It is found that the most convincing mass (width) of this resonance is 1650 MeV (5 MeV).

Volumetric real-time shear wave vibro-elastography with matrix array transducer – imaging system validation and preliminary results for the liver
Creators: name: Zeng, Qi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The progression of chronic liver disease, including hepatitis B, C, and non-alcoholic steatotic hepatitis, is closely associated with advancing fibrosis which stiffens the liver tissue over time. Magnetic resonance elastography is a quantitative imaging method that measures the liver tissue shear modulus over a volume and provides the most accurate imaging-based fibrosis staging results when compared to biopsy. While ultrasound-based elastography methods have been developed for liver fibrosis staging, they are mostly confined to providing measurements for a 1D or a 2D region of interest and with a limited imaging depth. In this thesis, a novel 3D ultrasound liver shear wave absolute vibro-elastography (S-WAVE) imaging technique is developed. With the aid of state-of-the-art 3D ultrasound hardware, 3D S-WAVE aims to provide quantitative and volumetric hepatic stiffness measurements comparable to magnetic resonance elastography. The new 3D S-WAVE utilizes a high element count matrix array transducer. With a modified 3D color power angiography imaging sequence, large field-ofview multi-frequency shear wave imaging could be achieved with a significantly shorter scan time. Learning-based automatic image segmentation and cross-modality registration techniques have also been developed to streamline the image processing pipeline and assist the comparison study between the S-WAVE and magnetic resonance elastography methods. Real-time shear wave imaging capability has also been enabled to improve the efficiency and repeatability of the S-WAVE exam. Validation studies with liver tissue phantoms and in vivo subjects have been designed and implemented using magnetic resonance elastography as the ground truth. The results showed that 3D S-WAVE had a high consistency with magnetic resonance elastography and outperformed conventional ultrasound transient elastography. The collected 3D S-WAVE data were also utilized to assess the performance difference between 2D and 3D elasticity reconstruction techniques. The results indicated that the 3D method effectively overcame the overestimation and the spatial bias issues which were commonly introduced by the 2D imaging method.

Model of plasmon excitations in a bundle and two-dimensional array of nanotubes

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We calculate the plasma excitations in a bundle as well as a two-dimensional (2D) periodic array of aligned parallel multishell nanotubes on a substrate. The carbon nanotubes are oriented perpendicular to the substrate. The model we use for the system is an electron gas confined to the surface of an infinitely long cylinder embedded in a background dielectric medium. Electron tunneling between individual tubules is neglected. We include the Coulomb interaction between electrons on the same tubule and on different tubules for the same nanotube and neighboring nanotubes. We present a self-consistent field theory for the dispersion equation for intrasubband and intersubband plasmon excitations. For both the bundle and 2D array of aligned parallel nanotubes, the dispersion relation of the collective modes is determined by a three-dimensional wave vector with components in the direction of the nanotube axes and in the transverse directions. The dispersion equation is solved numerically for a singlewall nanotube 2D array as well as a bundle, and the plasmon excitation energies are obtained as a function of wave vector. The intertube Coulomb interaction couples plasmons with different angular momenta in individual nanotubes, lifting the degeneracy of the single-nanotube modes. This effect is analyzed numerically as a function of the separation between the tubules. We show that the translational symmetry of the lattice is maintained in the plasmon spectrum for the periodic array, and the plasmon energies have a periodic dependence on the transverse wave vector. For the bundle, the Coulomb interaction between nanotubes gives rise to optical plasmon excitations.

description: Many types of molecular motors have been proposed and synthesized in recent years, displaying different kinds of motion, and fueled by different driving forces such as light, heat, or chemical reactions. We propose a new type of molecular motor based on electric field actuation and electric current detection of the rotational motion of a molecular dipole embedded in a three-terminal single-molecule device. The key aspect of this all-electronic design is the conjugated backbone of the molecule, which simultaneously provides the potential landscape of the rotor orientation and a real-time measure of that orientation through the modulation of the conductivity. Using quantum chemistry calculations, we show that this approach provides full control over the speed and continuity of motion, thereby combining electrical and mechanical control at the molecular level over a wide range of temperatures. Moreover, chemistry can be used to change all key parameters of the device, enabling a variety of new experiments on molecular motors.

description: Generating multimedia streams, such as in a netradio, is a task which is complex and difficult to adapt to every users' needs. We introduce a novel approach in order to achieve it, based on a dedicated high-level functional programming language, called Liquidsoap, for generating, manipulating and broadcasting multimedia streams. Unlike traditional approaches, which are based on configuration files or static graphical interfaces, it also allows the user to build complex and highly customized systems. This language is based on a model for streams and contains operators and constructions, which make it adapted to the generation of streams. The interpreter of the language also ensures many properties concerning the good execution of the stream generation.

Density of States Modulations from Oxygen Phonons in d-wave Superconductors: Reconciling Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

description: Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements have observed modulations in the density of states (DOS) of a number of high-T$_c$ cuprates. These modulations have been interpreted in terms of electron-boson coupling analogous to the dispersion "kinks" observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). However, a direct a reconciliation of the energy scales and features observed by the two probes is presently lacking. In this paper we examine the general features of el-boson coupling in a $d-$wave superconductor using Eliashberg theory, focusing on the structure of the modulations and the role of self energy contributions $λ_z$ and $λ_ϕ$. We identify the features in the DOS that correspond to the gap-shifted bosonic mode energies and discuss how the structure of the modulations provides information about an underlying pairing mechanism and the pairing nature of the boson. We argue that the scenario most consistent with the STM data is that of a low-energy boson mode renormalizing over a second dominant pairing interaction and we identify this low-energy mode as the out-of-phase bond buckling oxygen phonon. The influence of inelastic damping on the phonon-modulated DOS is also examined for the case of Bi$_2$Si$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$. Using this simplified framework we are able to account for the observed isotope shift and anti-correlation between the local gap and mode energies. Combined, this work provides a direct reconciliation of the bandstructure renormalizations observed by both ARPES and STM in terms of coupling to optical oxygen phonons.

description: Global biodiversity is under high and rising anthropogenic pressure. Yet, how the taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional facets of biodiversity are affected by different threats over time is unclear. This is particularly true for the two main drivers of the current biodiversity crisis: habitat destruction and overexploitation. We provide the first long-term assessment of multifaceted biodiversity changes caused by these threats for any tropical region. Focussing on larger mammals in South America's 1.1 million km2 Gran Chaco region, we assessed changes in multiple biodiversity facets between 1985 and 2015, determined which threats drive those changes, and identified remaining key areas for all biodiversity facets. Using habitat and threat maps, we found, first, that between 1985 and 2015 taxonomic (TD), phylogenetic (PD) and functional (FD) diversity all declined drastically across over half of the area assessed. FD declined about 50% faster than TD and PD, and these declines were mainly driven by species loss, rather than species turnover. Second, habitat destruction, hunting, and both threats together contributed ~57%, ~37%, and ~6% to overall facet declines, respectively. However, hunting pressure increased where TD and PD declined most strongly, whereas habitat destruction disproportionally contributed to FD declines. Third, just 23% of the Chaco would have to be protected to safeguard the top 17% of all three facets. Our findings uncover a widespread impoverishment of mammal species richness, evolutionary history, and ecological functions across broad areas of the Chaco due to increasing habitat destruction and hunting. Moreover, our results pinpoint key areas that should be preserved and managed to maintain all facets of mammalian diversity across the Chaco. More generally, our work highlights how long-term changes in biodiversity facets can be assessed and attributed to specific threats, to better understand human impacts on biodiversity and to guide conservation planning to mitigate them.

description: A large number of models for pedestrian dynamics have been developed over the years. However, so far not much attention has been paid to their quantitative validation. Usually the focus is on the reproduction of empirically observed collective phenomena, as lane formation in counterflow. This can give an indication for the realism of the model, but practical applications, e.g. in safety analysis, require quantitative predictions. We discuss the current experimental situation, especially for the fundamental diagram which is the most important quantity needed for calibration. In addition we consider the implications for the modelling based on cellular automata. As specific example the floor field model is introduced. Apart from the properties of its fundamental diagram we discuss the implications of an egress experiment for the relevance of conflicts and friction effects.

description: We consider tensor-multiscalar representations for several types of modified gravity actions. The first example is the theory with the action representing an arbitrary smooth function of the scalar curvature R and (Box R), the integrand of the Gauss-Bonnet term and the square of the Weyl tensor. We present a simple procedure leading to an equivalent theory of a space-time metric and four auxiliary scalars and specially discuss calibration of a cosmological constant and the condition of the existence of dS-like solutions in the case of empty universe. The condition for obtaining a smaller number of independent scalar fields is derived. The second example is the Eddington-like gravity action. In this case we show, in particular, the equivalence of the theory to GR with the cosmological constant term, with or without use of the first-order formalism, and also discuss some possible generalizations.

Model Checking of Continuous-Time Markov Chains Against Timed Automata Specifications

description: We study the verification of a finite continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) C against a linear real-time specification given as a deterministic timed automaton (DTA) A with finite or Muller acceptance conditions. The central question that we address is: what is the probability of the set of paths of C that are accepted by A, i.e., the likelihood that C satisfies A? It is shown that under finite acceptance criteria this equals the reachability probability in a finite piecewise deterministic Markov process (PDP), whereas for Muller acceptance criteria it coincides with the reachability probability of terminal strongly connected components in such a PDP. Qualitative verification is shown to amount to a graph analysis of the PDP. Reachability probabilities in our PDPs are then characterized as the least solution of a system of Volterra integral equations of the second type and are shown to be approximated by the solution of a system of partial differential equations. For single-clock DTA, this integral equation system can be transformed into a system of linear equations where the coefficients are solutions of ordinary differential equations. As the coefficients are in fact transient probabilities in CTMCs, this result implies that standard algorithms for CTMC analysis suffice to verify single-clock DTA specifications.

description: Les Mâchefers d’Incinération des Déchets Non-Dangereux (MIDND), sont produits à hauteur de 3 millions de tonnes chaque année en France. Leurs granulométrie, compositions élémentaires et propriétés pouzzolaniques font des MIDND de potentiels substituts aux matières premières utilisées dans la mise en œuvre de mortiers et bétons. Cet article présente les résultats de l’utilisation de la fraction < 2 mm des MIDND comme agent porogène dans des mortiers aérés. Une première étape d’identification des paramètres favorisant l’aération des mortiers a été réalisée sur pâte pure. Les formulations les plus prometteuses ont, par la suite, été mises en œuvre sur mortier. Les essais de densité, résistance à la compression et conductivité thermique réalisés sur mortiers avec MIDND ont démontré la possibilité d’une telle substitution. En effet des formulations utilisant un rapport Eau/Liant de 0,55 et une quantité de 50 % de mâchefers ont présenté des résultats comparables à ceux du témoin aéré. Des essais de lixiviation suivant la norme EN 12457-2 ont également démontré que ces substitutions n’ont pas d’impact environnemental. En effet, les concentrations en polluants dans les éluâts des mortiers avec mâchefers sont comparables à celles du témoin aéré.

description: Let (M,g) be a four or six dimensional compact Riemannian manifold which is locally conformally flat and assume that its boundary is totally umbilical. In this note, we prove that if the Euler characteristic of M is equal to 1 and if its Yamabe invariant is positive, then (M,g) is conformally isometric to the standard hemisphere. As an application and using a result of Hang-Wang, we prove a rigidity result for these hemispheres regarding the Min-Oo conjecture.

Interdependent networks: Reducing the coupling strength leads to a change from a first to second order percolation transition

description: We study a system composed from two interdependent networks A and B, where a fraction of the nodes in network A depends on the nodes of network B and a fraction of the nodes in network B depends on the nodes of network A. Due to the coupling between the networks when nodes in one network fail they cause dependent nodes in the other network to also fail. This invokes an iterative cascade of failures in both networks. When a critical fraction of nodes fail the iterative process results in a percolation phase transition that completely fragments both networks. We show both analytically and numerically that reducing the coupling between the networks leads to a change from a first order percolation phase transition to a second order percolation transition at a critical point. The scaling of the percolation order parameter near the critical point is characterized by the critical exponent beta=1.
