description: Robot-moderated group discussions have the potential to facilitate engaging and productive interactions among human participants. Previous work on topic management in conversational agents has predominantly focused on human engagement and topic personalization, with the agent having an active role in the discussion. Also, studies have shown the usefulness of including robots in groups, yet further exploration is still needed for robots to learn when to change the topic while facilitating discussions. Accordingly, our work investigates the suitability of machine-learning models and audiovisual non-verbal features in predicting appropriate topic changes. We utilized interactions between a robot moderator and human participants, which we annotated and used for extracting acoustic and body language-related features. We provide a detailed analysis of the performance of machine learning approaches using sequential and non-sequential data with different sets of features. The results indicate promising performance in classifying inappropriate topic changes, outperforming rule-based approaches. Additionally, acoustic features exhibited comparable performance and robustness compared to the complete set of multimodal features. Our annotated data is publicly available at https://github.com/ghadj/topic-change-robot-discussions-data-2024.

Variations of the Fraser River plume : observations and computer simulations
Creators: name: Royer, Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Temporal and spatial variations of the Fraser River plume, in the central Strait of Georgia (British Columbia, Canada), are monitored by continuous salinity sampling of the engine cooling water on two B.C. ferries. Travelling along two different routes between Vancouver Island and the mainland the ferries provide eight crossings per day both north and south of the river outflow. From each crossing, characteristic measures of the plume are extracted, such as the average salinity and the maximum salinity gradient. These parameters are then formulated as time series and used to compute cross-correlations and cross-spectra with the probable driving forces of wind and river discharge. The effect of the tides is examined using harmonic analysis. Periods of high river discharge lead to decreases in the average salinity for each section, and peaks in the magnitude of the maximum salinity gradient. The correlation of the plume characteristics (average salinity, maximum salinity gradient) on the southern section with the along-strait component of the wind is consistent with advection by the wind. Weak correlation is found between the plume characteristics on the northern section and the wind. Linear combination of the wind and the discharge variations reproduce the general trend of the average salinities but cannot explain the level of variability. A shift to a nonlinear combination of the wind and discharge improves this comparison. The phases of parameter fluctuations at tidal frequencies, on the southern section, agree with the expected effects of tidal currents and the modulation of the river discharge. The agreement is not as apparent for the northern section. The level of the discharge is seen to affect the tidal amplitudes of the salinity fluctuations on the southern section. A numerical model, previously developed to examine the effect of tidal forcing on the plume, is modified to input the hourly wind and daily discharge data record. Equivalent average salinities along the ferry section are outputed and compared to the observed ferry data. Good agreement is reached after manipulating the entrainment velocity and the momentum transfer from the wind to the plume. The tides are seen to add a tidal modulation to the general salinity pattern resulting from the combined effect of the wind and the discharge. Horizontal distributions from the model and from CTD cruise results agree fairly well with each another.

description: Recent observations have revealed that high surface-brightness, metal-rich debris is present over large regions of the Andromeda (M31) stellar halo. We use a set of numerical models to determine whether extended metal-rich debris is expected to exist in galaxy halos formed in a hierarchical LambdaCDM universe. We identify tidal debris in the simulations according to the current best surface brightness detection limits in M31 and demonstrate that bright features in the outer halo regions usually originate from single satellites, with very little contamination from other sources due to the low probability of tidal streams from two overlapping accretion events. In contrast, high-surface brightness features in the inner halo often originate from multiple progenitors. We also compare the age and metallicity distribution of the debris with the well-mixed stellar halos in which they reside. We find that high-surface brightness tidal debris is produced almost exclusively by relatively high mass progenitors (Mstar ~ 10^7- 10^9 Msun) and thus is expected to be of moderate- to high-metallicity. Similarly, in our models the smooth inner halo is expected to be metal-rich as this region has been built up mainly from massive satellites. Our results imply that the stellar populations of substructure observed around external galaxies with current techniques should not resemble old and metal-poor dwarf spheroidal satellites, nor the underlying component of the stellar halo.

description: We propose a method of measuring the electron temperature $T_e$ in mesoscopic conductors and demonstrate experimentally its applicability to micron-size graphene devices in the linear-response regime ($T_e\approx T$, the bath temperature). The method can be {especially useful} in case of overheating, $T_e>T$. It is based on analysis of the correlation function of mesoscopic conductance fluctuations. Although the fluctuation amplitude strongly depends on the details of electron scattering in graphene, we show that $T_e$ extracted from the correlation function is insensitive to these details.

description: In this paper we generalize the work of Lin, Lunin and Maldacena on the classification of 1/2-BPS M-theory solutions to a specific class of 1/4-BPS configurations. We are interested in the solutions of 11 dimensional supergravity with $SO(3)\times SO(4)$ symmetry, and it is shown that such solutions are constructed over a one-parameter familiy of 4 dimensional almost Calabi-Yau spaces. Through analytic continuations we can obtain M-theory solutions having $AdS_2\times S^3$ or $AdS_3\times S^2$ factors. It is shown that our result is equivalent to the $AdS$ solutions which have been recently reported as the near-horizon geometry of M2 or M5-branes wrapped on 2 or 4-cycles in Calabi-Yau threefolds. We also discuss the hierarchy of M-theory bubbles with different number of supersymmetries.

description: Our goal is to characterize AGN populations by comparing their X-ray and optical classifications. We present a sample of 99 spectroscopically identified X-ray point sources in the XMM-LSS survey which are significantly detected in the [2-10] keV band, and with more than 80 counts. We performed an X-ray spectral analysis for all of these 99 X-ray sources. Introducing the fourfold point correlation coefficient, we find only a mild correlation between the X-ray and the optical classifications, as up to 30% of the sources have differing X-ray and optical classifications: on one hand, 10% of the type 1 sources present broad emission lines in their optical spectra and strong absorption in the X-rays. These objects are highly luminous AGN lying at high redshift and thus dilution effects are totally ruled out, their discrepant nature being an intrinsic property. Their X-ray luminosities and redshifts distributions are consistent with those of the unabsorbed X-ray sources with broad emission lines. On the other hand, 25/32 are moderate luminosity AGN, which are both unabsorbed in the X-rays and only present narrow emission lines in their optical spectra. The majority of them have an optical spectrum which is representative of the host galaxy. We finally infer that dilution of the AGN by the host galaxy seems to account for their nature. 5/25 have been defined as Seyfert 2. In conclusion, most of these 32 discrepant cases can be accounted for by the standard AGN unified scheme, as its predictions are not met for only 12% of the 99 X-ray sources. ABRIDGED

description: We explicitly compute the optimal cost for a class of example problems in geometric quantum control. These problems are defined by a Cartan decomposition of $su(2^n)$ into orthogonal subspaces $\mathfrak{l}$ and $\mathfrak{p}$ such that $[\mathfrak{l},\mathfrak{l}] \subseteq \mathfrak{p}, [\mathfrak{p},\mathfrak{l}] = \mathfrak{p}, [\mathfrak{p},\mathfrak{p}] \subseteq \mathfrak{l}$. Motion in the $\mathfrak{l}$ direction are assumed to have negligible cost, where motion in the $\mathfrak{p}$ direction do not. In the special case of two qubits, our results correspond to the minimal interaction cost of a given unitary.

description: The oriented link of the cyclic quotient singularity $\mathcal{X}_{p,q}$ is orientation-preserving diffeomorphic to the lens space $L(p,q)$ and carries the standard contact structure $ξ_{st}$. Lisca classified the Stein fillings of $(L(p,q), ξ_{st})$ up to diffeomorphisms and conjectured that they correspond bijectively through an {\it explicit} map to the Milnor fibers associated with the irreducible components (all of them being smoothing components) of the reduced miniversal space of deformations of $\mathcal{X}_{p,q}$. We prove this conjecture using the smoothing equations given by Christophersen and Stevens. Moreover, based on a different description of the Milnor fibers given by de Jong and van Straten, we also canonically identify these fibers with Lisca's fillings. Using these and a newly introduced additional structure - the order - associated with lens spaces, we prove that the above Milnor fibers are pairwise non-diffeomorphic (by diffeomorphisms which preserve the orientation and order). This also implies that de Jong and van Straten parametrize in the same way the components of the reduced miniversal space of deformations as Christophersen and Stevens.

We discuss how IMF variations may account for these high M/L ratios and how observational approaches may in the future allow to discriminate between those possibilities. We also briefly discuss the possibility of dark matter in UCDs.

description: We study the shapes of spatially integrated H I emission-line profiles of galaxies in the EAGLE simulation using three separate measures of the profile's asymmetry. We show that the subset of EAGLE galaxies whose gas fractions and stellar masses are consistent with those in the xGASS survey also have similar H I line asymmetries. Central galaxies with symmetric H I line profiles typically correspond to rotationally supported H I and stellar disks, but those with asymmetric line profiles may or may not correspond to dispersion-dominated systems. Galaxies with symmetric H I emission lines are, on average, more gas rich than those with asymmetric lines, and also exhibit systematic differences in their specific star formation rates, suggesting that turbulence generated by stellar or AGN feedback may be one factor contributing to H I line asymmetry. The line asymmetry also correlates strongly with the dynamical state of a galaxy's host dark matter halo: older, more relaxed haloes host more-symmetric galaxies than those hosted by unrelaxed ones. At fixed halo mass, asymmetric centrals tend to be surrounded by a larger number of massive subhaloes than their symmetric counterparts, and also experience higher rates of gas accretion and outflow. At fixed stellar mass, central galaxies have, on average, more symmetric H I emission lines than satellites; for the latter, ram pressure and tidal stripping are significant sources of asymmetry.

description: We present the $NuSTAR$ extragalactic survey of the $James$ $Webb$ $Space$ $Telescope$ ($JWST$) North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) Time-Domain Field. The survey covers a $\sim$0.16 deg$^2$ area with a total exposure of 681 ks acquired in a total of nine observations from three epochs. The survey sensitivities at 20% of the area are 2.39, 1.14, 2.76, 1.52, and 5.20 $\times$ 10$^{-14}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ in the 3-24, 3-8, 8-24, 8-16, and 16-24 keV bands, respectively. The NEP survey is one of the most sensitive extragalactic surveys with $NuSTAR$ so far. A total of 33 sources were detected above 95% reliability in at least one of the five bands. We present the number counts, log$N$-log$S$, measured in the hard X-ray 8-24 and 8-16 keV bands, uniquely accessible by $NuSTAR$ down to such faint fluxes. We performed source detection on the XMM-$Newton$ and $Chandra$ observations of the same field to search for soft X-ray counterparts of each $NuSTAR$ detection. The soft band positions were used to identify optical and infrared associations. We present the X-ray properties (hardness ratio and luminosity) and optical-to-X-ray properties of the detected sources. The measured fraction of candidate Compton-thick (N$\rm _H\ge10^{24} cm^{-2}$) active galactic nuclei, derived from the hardness ratio, is between 3% to 27%. As this survey was designed to have variability as its primary focus, we present preliminary results on multi-epoch flux variability in the 3-24 keV band.

Preparing for assault: framing the psychological impact of “the talk” within Black childhood
Creators: name: Ryan, Janene M,
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: “The talk” is regularly thought of as a conversation that parents have with their Black children. The conversation is known as an unorthodox survival tool in communities of color that have experienced an extensive history of discrimination and racialized brutality. With countless incidences of Black children (i.e. Emmett Till, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, etc.) being harmed or killed during encounters with law enforcement or racist vigilantes, Black families are left responsible for preparing their children of what lies beyond their protected homes and comminutes. However, with images of harm and death of Black bodies widely shared across mass media, especially Black children, these lived experiences have potentially caused an indelible impact. This research will investigate how or in what ways Black children psychologically, cognitively, and emotionally process the preparation of a possible assault on their humanity primarily based on their race.

description: After proposing a new method of deriving the atmospheric time constant from the speed of focus variations (Kellerer & Tokovinin 2007), we now implement it with the new instrument, FADE. FADE uses a 36-cm Celestron telescope that is modified to transform stellar point images into a ring by increasing the central obstruction and combining defocus with spherical aberration. Sequences of images recorded with a fast CCD detector are processed to determine the defocus and its variations in time from the ring radii. The temporal structure function of the defocus is fitted with a model to derive the atmospheric seeing and time constant. We investigated by numerical simulation the data reduction algorithm and instrumental biases. Bias caused by instrumental effects, such as optical aberrations, detector noise, acquisition frequency, etc., is quantified. The ring image must be well-focused, i.e. must have a sufficiently sharp radial profile, otherwise, scintillation seriously affects the results. An acquisition frequency of 700 Hz appears adequate. FADE was operated for 5 nights at the Cerro Tololo observatory in parallel with the regular site monitor. Reasonable agreement between the results from the two instruments has been obtained.

description: Let $X$ be a finite connected poset, $F$ a field and $I(X,F)$ the incidence algebra of $X$ over $F$. We describe the bijective linear idempotent preservers $φ:I(X,F)\to I(X,F)$. Namely, we prove that, whenever $\mathrm{char}(F)\ne 2$, $φ$ is either an automorphism or an anti-automorphism of $I(X,F)$. If $\mathrm{char}(F)=2$ and $|F|>2$, then $φ$ is a (in general, non-proper) Lie automorphism of $I(X,F)$. Finally, if $F=\mathbb{Z}_2$, then $φ$ is the composition of a bijective shift map and a Lie automorphism of $I(X,F)$. Under certain restrictions on the characteristic of $F$ we also obtain descriptions of the bijective linear maps which preserve tripotents and, more generally, $k$-potents of $I(X,F)$ for $k\ge 3$.

These criteria are the martingale-coboundary decomposition developed by Gordin in Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 188 (1969), the projective criterion introduced by Dedecker in Probab. Theory Related Fields 110 (1998), which was subsequently improved by Dedecker and Rio in Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Probab. Statist. 36 (2000) and the condition introduced by Maxwell and Woodroofe in Ann. Probab. 28 (2000) later improved upon by Peligrad and Utev in Ann. Probab. 33 (2005). We prove that in every ergodic dynamical system with positive entropy, if we consider two of these criteria, we can find a function in $\mathbb{L}^2$ satisfying the first but not the second.

description: The Shastry-Sutherland model and its generalizations have been shown to capture emergent complex magnetic properties from geometric frustration in several quasi-two-dimensional quantum magnets. Using an $sd$ exchange model, we show here that metallic Shastry-Sutherland magnets can exhibit a topological Hall effect driven by magnetic skyrmions under realistic conditions. The magnetic properties are modeled with competing symmetric Heisenberg and asymmetric Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange interactions, while a coupling between the spins of the itinerant electrons and the localized moments describes the magnetotransport behavior. Our results, employing complementary Monte Carlo simulations and a novel machine learning analysis to investigate the magnetic phases, provide evidence for field-driven skyrmion crystal formation for an extended range of Hamiltonian parameters. By constructing an effective tight-binding model of conduction electrons coupled to the skyrmion lattice, we clearly demonstrate the appearance of the topological Hall effect. We further elaborate on the effects of finite temperatures on both magnetic and magnetotransport properties.

description: We have recently developed a self-consistent theory of Strong-Coupling in the presence of an incoherent pumping [arXiv:0807.3194] and shown how it could reproduce quantitatively the experimental data [PRL 101, 083601 (2008)]. Here, we summarize our main results, provide the detailed analysis of the fitting of the experiment and discuss how the field should now evolve beyond merely qualitative expectations, that could well be erroneous even when they seem to be firmly established.

Internal solitary waves in Davis Strait
Creators: name: Cummins, Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Current meters and a thermistor chain deployed in proximity of a drillship over the continental shelf off Baffin Island revealed the presence of large amplitude internal waves. This thesis reviews properties of the internal waves, observed to propagate away from the coast and to coincide with the local low water phase of the tide, at the drillship. The waves were characterized by a sudden pulse-like increase in current speed and a rapid depression of isotherms suggestive of internal solitary waves. Measurements of propagation time indicate phase speeds of 1.1 m/s are typical with horizontal length scales comparable to the total fluid depth. An analysis based on linear internal wave theory and involving the solution of the vertical eigenfunction was found to fit the measured wave characteristics poorly. A nonlinear wave analysis, based on the Korteweg-de Vries equation and employing the vertical eigenfunction, gave better results. Wave profiles are correctly given by the solitary wave solution of the KdV equation. The relation between amplitude and phase speed indicates that the advection due to the tidal flow is important. The length of the disturbances is underpredicted by the theory at large amplitudes. Calculations of Richardson number using the wave-induced shear show that shear instabilities are likely to occur.

description: Over the years, several classes of scalarization techniques in optimization have been introduced and employed in deriving separation theorems, optimality conditions and algorithms. In this paper, we study the relationships between some of those classes in the sense of inclusion. We focus on three types of scalarizing functionals defined by Hiriart-Urruty, Drummond and Svaiter, and Gerstewitz. We completely determine their relationships. In particular, it is shown that the class of the functionals by Gerstewitz is minimal in this sense. Furthermore, we define a new (and larger) class of scalarizing functionals that are not necessarily convex, but rather quasidifferentiable and positively homogeneous. We show that our results are connected with some of the set relations in set optimization.

description: The paradigm of Floquet engineering of topological states of matter can be generalized into the time-quasiperiodic scenario, where a lower dimensional time-dependent system maps into a higher dimensional one by combining the physical dimensions with additional synthetic dimensions generated by multiple incommensurate driving frequencies. Different than most previous works in which gapped topological phases were considered, we propose an experimentally realizable, one dimensional chain driven by two frequencies, which maps into a gapless Weyl semimetal in synthetic dimension. Based on analytical reasoning and numerical simulations, we found the nonadiabatic quantum dynamics of this system exhibit energy pumping behaviors characterized by universal functions. We also numerically found such behaviors are robust against a considerable amount of spatial disorder.

ANTASID: A Novel Temporal Adjustment to Shannon's Index of Difficulty for Quantifying the Perceived Difficulty of Uncontrolled Pointing Tasks

description: Shannon's Index of Difficulty ($ID$), reputable for quantifying the perceived difficulty of pointing tasks as a logarithmic relationship between movement-amplitude ($A$) and target-width ($W$), is used for modelling the corresponding observed movement-times ($MT_O$) in such tasks in controlled experimental setup. However, real-life pointing tasks are both spatially and temporally uncontrolled, being influenced by factors such as - human aspects, subjective behavior, the context of interaction, the inherent speed-accuracy trade-off where, emphasizing accuracy compromises speed of interaction and vice versa, and so on. Effective target-width ($W_e$) is considered as spatial adjustment for compensating accuracy. However, no significant adjustment exists in the literature for compensating speed in different contexts of interaction in these tasks. As a result, without any temporal adjustment, the true difficulty of an uncontrolled pointing task may be inaccurately quantified using Shannon's ID. To verify this, we propose the ANTASID (A Novel Temporal Adjustment to Shannon's ID) formulation with detailed performance analysis. We hypothesized a temporal adjustment factor ($t$) as a binary logarithm of $MT_O$, compensating for speed due to contextual differences and minimizing the non-linearity between movement-amplitude and target-width. Considering spatial and/or temporal adjustments to ID, we conducted regression analysis using our own and Benchmark datasets in both controlled and uncontrolled scenarios of pointing tasks with a generic mouse.ANTASID formulation showed significantly superior fitness values and throughput in all the scenarios while reducing the standard error. Furthermore, the quantification of ID with ANTASID varied significantly compared to the classical formulations of Shannon's ID, validating the purpose of this study.

description: While the labor share of income has decreased in most advanced economies since the 1980s, it has remained relatively stable in Switzerland. However, this does not imply that the capital share of income has also remained stable. Our results suggest that the share of imputed capital rental payments to income has decreased. Similar to other countries, Switzerland has seen an increase in the so-called factorless income share that cannot be readily attributed to capital and labor. The increase in factorless income may reflect a rise in economic rents, higher compensation for business risks, or increased compensation for unmeasured input factors, especially intangible capital. We find that the stable labor share in Switzerland cannot be traced back to high wage growth, but rather to subdued investment growth and a high growth rate of the labor force.

The direct examination of biologically active Cu in seawater
Creators: name: Zorkin, N. R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: An analytical technique for the differentiation of biologically active copper (Cu) in seawater was developed. The procedure involves passing a seawater sample through an ion exchange resin of the sulponate type until complete breakthrough of metal ion is achieved. The sorbed Cu is then eluted and its total concentration is determined by anodic stripping voltammetry. Comparison with Cu adsorption from standard seawater samples of similar composition, pH, and ionic strength yields a Cu equivalent measurement that is related to the free cupric ion activity of the sample. Since the cupric ion is believed to be the toxic form of the metal, the Cu equivalent measurement can be related to the biologically active fraction of Cu. The measurement of biologically active Cu by the resin technique was verified by comparing the analytical results with results from phytoplankton bioassays. Tests were first conducted in artificial seawater that had its chemistry well defined and where model organic ligand (EDTA, NTA, histidine and glutamic acid) were used to control the speciation of the metal. In the experiments using the organic ligands EDTA, NTA, or glutamic acid added to Cu spiked artificial seawater, a strong relationship between the Cu equivalent values and growth rates of the bioassay organism was found (r=0.92). However, in experiments with histidine, this relationship was much weaker and was attributed to the adsorption of positively charged Cu-histidine complexes onto the resin. The adsorption of these complexes results in overestimating the amount of biologically active Cu present in the sample. The few studies on the electrochemical nature of organic complexing agents in seawater suggests, however, that most are negatively charged. Thus the technique would be suitable in many seawater systems. The analytical and bioassay techniques were then applied to natural seawater samples collected from five depths in a local fjord. A discrepancy was found between some of the bioassay and resin test results. However, the discrepancy was attributed to a physiological Cu-Mn interaction in the bioassay organism and not to a problem with the resin technique.

description: We consider a diffusion process on the edges of a finite network and allow for feedback effects between different, possibly non-adjacent edges. This generalizes the setting that is common in the literature, where the only considered interactions take place at the boundary, i. e., in the nodes of the network. We discuss well-posedness of the associated initial value problem as well as contractivity and positivity properties of its solutions. Finally, we discuss qualitative properties that can be formulated in terms of invariance of linear subspaces of the state space, i. e., of symmetries of the associated physical system. Applications to a neurobiological model as well as to a system of linear Schroedinger equations on a quantum graph are discussed.
