Interracial intimacy : how mixed couples negotiate and narrate their identity and experience
Creators: name: Sirari, Tanvi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The rising number of interracial couples in Canada has often been interpreted as a success of multicultural inclusion. This dissertation questions this assumption by examining the experiences of interracial couples and how they identify themselves and their relationships. Through 87 in-depth interviews with 29 interracial couples in Vancouver, I investigated how couples narrate their stories of intimacy in relation to larger national narratives of Canada as a multicultural nation. My research led to four key findings. First, most of the couples in my study were affectively invested in dominant discourses of multiculturalism. While many viewed it as reflecting their values and aspirations, others were critical of how this national narrative muted certain aspects of their identity and experiences while deflecting attention from racism in Canadian society. For example, couples with Black partners faced greater hostility due to their interracial status and were more critical of racial inequalities in Canada. This can be understood in the context of anti-Black racism in Vancouver and Canada. People of colour said that their white partners had a legitimation effect on them and made them more acceptable in social spaces dominated by whiteness. Second, Québécois and Anglo-Canadian couples in my study expressed a desire to be considered ‘mixed’ in the Canadian context, given the historical relations of colonialism, power and domination between the two groups. Their reflections offer new possibilities for understanding whiteness in Canada. Third, for some of the couples I interviewed, interracial relationships offered opportunities for white partners to cultivate racial literacy by learning from their partners' experiences of racialization and empathetic identification. However, most male white partners in my study refused to recognize their own racial privilege and diminished their partners’ experiences of racialization. Cultivation of racial literacy required people of colour to perform the emotional labour of sharing their experiences of racialization with their partner. Finally, LGBTQ interracial couples experienced the double burden of defying the norms of monoraciality and heteronormativity and felt a need to ‘legitimize’ their relationships through symbolic means. Interracial relationships can be sites of power and contestation, but they cannot resolve the problem of racism in Canada.

description: Self-attractive random walks undergo a phase transition in terms of the applied drift: If the drift is strong enough, then the walk is ballistic, whereas in the case of small drifts self-attraction wins and the walk is sub-ballistic. We show that, in any dimension at least 2, this transition is of first order. In fact, we prove that the walk is already ballistic at critical drifts, and establish the corresponding LLN and CLT.

description: For open quantum systems coupled to a thermal bath at inverse temperature $β$, it is well known that under the Born-, Markov-, and secular approximations the system density matrix will approach the thermal Gibbs state with the bath inverse temperature $β$. We generalize this to systems where there exists a conserved quantity (e.g., the total particle number), where for a bath characterized by inverse temperature $β$ and chemical potential $μ$ we find equilibration of both temperature and chemical potential. For couplings to multiple baths held at different temperatures and different chemical potentials, we identify a class of systems that equilibrates according to a single hypothetical average but in general non-thermal bath, which may be exploited to generate desired non-thermal states. Under special circumstances the stationary state may be again be described by a unique Boltzmann factor. These results are illustrated by several examples.

The privacy analysis, based on the full tomographic reconstruction of the prepared state, is utilized in a proof-of-principle key generation. The inferiority of distillation-based strategies to extract the key is exposed by an implementation of an entanglement distillation protocol for the produced state.

description: Storing quantum information for long times without disruptions is a major requirement for most quantum information technologies. A very appealing approach is to use self-correcting Hamiltonians, i.e. tailoring local interactions among the qubits such that when the system is weakly coupled to a cold bath the thermalization process takes a long time. Here we propose an alternative but more powerful approach in which the coupling to a bath is engineered, so that dissipation protects the encoded qubit against more general kinds of errors. We show that the method can be implemented locally in four dimensional lattice geometries by means of a toric code, and propose a simple 2D set-up for proof of principle experiments.

description: Biological tissue integrity is actively maintained by cells. It is essential to comprehend how cells accomplish this in order to stage tissue diseases. However, addressing the complexity of a cell's system of interrelated mechanisms poses a challenge. This necessitates a well-structured identification framework and an effective integration of measurements. Here we introduce the use of state-of-the-art frequency-domain system identification techniques combined with an indentation measurement platform to analyze the underlying mechanisms from the perspective of control system theory. The ultimate goal is to explore how mechanical and biological factors are related in induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived vascular smooth muscle cells. We study on the frequency-domain analysis for the investigation and characterization of cellular dynamics of smooth muscle cells from the measured data. The measurement model in this study exploits the availability of human tissue and samples, enabling fundamental investigations of vascular tissue disease. This approach using human cell lines holds significant potential to decrease the necessity for animal-based safety and efficacy studies. The focus of this review is to investigate the cellular dynamics underlying the myogenic response and to demonstrate the practicability of employing a nano-indentation measurement setup for the broadband frequency-domain characterization of induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived vascular smooth muscle cells.

description: Cyclotron resonance has been measured in far-infrared transmission of GaAs/Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As heterostructures with an etched hexagonal lateral superlattice. Non-linear dependence of the resonance position on magnetic field was observed as well as its splitting into several modes. Our explanation, based on a perturbative calculation, describes the observed phenomena as a weak effect of the lateral potential on the two-dimensional electron gas. Using this approach, we found a correlation between parameters of the lateral patterning and the created effective potential and obtain thus insights on how the electronic miniband structure has been tuned. The miniband dispersion was calculated using a simplified model and allowed us to formulate four basic criteria that have to be satisfied to reach graphene-like physics in such systems.
An extended scaling analysis of the S=1/2 Ising ferromagnet on the simple cubic lattice

description: It is often assumed that for treating numerical (or experimental) data on continuous transitions the formal analysis derived from the Renormalization Group Theory can only be applied over a narrow temperature range, the "critical region"; outside this region correction terms proliferate rendering attempts to apply the formalism hopeless. This pessimistic conclusion follows largely from a choice of scaling variables and scaling expressions which is traditional but which is very inefficient for data covering wide temperature ranges. An alternative "extended caling" approach can be made where the choice of scaling variables and scaling expressions is rationalized in the light of well established high temperature series expansion developments. We present the extended scaling approach in detail, and outline the numerical technique used to study the 3d Ising model. After a discussion of the exact expressions for the historic 1d Ising spin chain model as an illustration, an exhaustive analysis of high quality numerical data on the canonical simple cubic lattice 3d Ising model is given. It is shown that in both models, with appropriate scaling variables and scaling expressions (in which leading correction terms are taken into account where necessary), critical behavior extends from Tc up to infinite temperature.

description: In this paper, whose aims are mainly pedagogical, we illustrate how to use the local zeta regularization to compute the stress-energy tensor of the Casimir effect. Our attention is devoted to the case of a neutral, massless scalar field in flat space-time, on a space domain with suitable (e.g., Dirichlet) boundary conditions. After a simple outline of the local zeta method, we exemplify it in the typical case of a field between two parallel plates, or outside them. The results are shown to agree with the ones obtained by more popular methods, such as point splitting regularization. In comparison with these alternative methods, local zeta regularization has the advantage to give directly finite results via analitic continuation, with no need to remove or subtract divergent quantities.

description: It was predicted by Wigner in 1934 that the electron gas will undergo a transition to a crystallized state when its density is very low. Whereas significant progress has been made towards the detection of electronic Wigner states, their clear and direct experimental verification still remains a challenge. Here we address signatures of Wigner molecule formation in the transport properties of InSb nanowire quantum dot systems, where a few electrons may form localized states depending on the size of the dot (i.e. the electron density). By a configuration interaction approach combined with an appropriate transport formalism, we are able to predict the transport properties of these systems, in excellent agreement with experimental data. We identify specific signatures of Wigner state formation, such as the strong suppression of the antiferromagnetic coupling, and are able to detect the onset of Wigner localization, both experimentally and theoretically, by studying different dot sizes.

When is a family of generalized means a scale?

Subjects: subject: Functional Analysis (math.FA)

description: For a family {k_t | t \in I} of real C^2 functions defined on U (I, U -- open intervals) and satisfying some mild regularity conditions, we prove that the mapping I \ni t --> k_t^{-1}(\sum_{i=1}^n w_i k_t(a_i)) is a continuous bijection between I and (min a, max a), for every fixed non-constant sequence a = (a_i)_{i=1}^n with values in U and every set, of the same cardinality, of positive weights w=(w_i)_{i=1}^n. In such a situation one says that the family of functions {k_t} generates a scale on U. The precise assumptions in our result read (all indicated derivatives are with respect to x \in U) (i) k'_t does not vanish anywhere in U for every t \in I, (ii) I \ni t \mapsto \frac{k"_t(x)}{k'_t(x)} is increasing, 1--1 on a dense subset of U and onto the image R for every x \in U. This result makes possible few new things as well as new proofs of classical results.

description: We study by Monte Carlo simulations a coarse-grained model of a water layer confined in a fixed disordered matrix of hydrophobic nanoparticles at different particle concentrations c. For c=0 (bulk water) we find a first order liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT). For c>0 our simulations are consistent with a LLPT line ending in two critical points at low and high pressure P. For c=25% we find a dramatic decrease of compressibility K_T, thermal expansion coefficient α_P, specific heat C_P at high P and low temperature T. Surprisingly, the effect is present also for c as low as 2.4%. We conclude that the higher the confinement, the lower the thermodynamic fluctuations and the more difficult it will be to detect the LLPT.

Negotiating the feminine : travel, writing and identity in Rosario Castellanos's nonfiction from Spain, the United States and Israel
Creators: name: Ross, Nancy Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The Mexican writer Rosario Castellanos (1925-1974) is well known for Balún Canán (1957) and other works of prose, poetry, or drama. However, in my thesis I aim to shed light on a genre that has been understudied by scholars and neglected by translators: her nonfiction. Of her nonfiction, I look specifically at her travel writing. Firstly, at the letters she addressed to Ricardo Guerra (1927-2007), compiled in Cartas a Ricardo (1994) [Letters to Ricardo]. And, lastly, at the articles she wrote as Mexican ambassador to Israel (1971-1974) which were originally published in Excélsior but, have since been anthologized and edited by Andrea Reyes in Mujer de palabras: artículos rescatados de Rosario Castellanos, volume III (2007). More specifically, Castellanos, after being awarded a scholarship by the Institute of Hispanic Culture (1950-1951), wrote letters from aboard the S.S. Argentina, and from the women’s residence in Madrid. I look at Castellanos and her companion, Dolores Castro (1923- 2022), as women traveling unaccompanied by men in Franco’s Spain. I also analyze Castellanos’s reaction to the Moorish, Jewish and Catholic cultures in Spain in relation to her own complex legacy as a member of the dominant land-owning class in Mexico. Some twenty-five years later in Castellanos’s letters which she wrote as a visiting professor in the U.S., (1966-1967), I focus on her identity as a cosmopolitan woman whose letters constitute a form of resistance to gender roles in Mexican society. I argue that she uses the epistolary genre to create her own self and that during her stay in the U.S., along with her son and her son’s nanny, Herlinda Bolaños, she reconfigures her own identity and, consequently, her identity from both inside and beyond the confines of the family. Castellanos’s letters, and to some extent her journalism, with the myriad details of daily life, function as a combination of travel diary, autobiographical memoir, and epistolary novel where she can create herself as a literary character. My objective is to avoid a strictly autobiographical reading of this work and so be able to place Castellanos’s travel writing firmly in contemporary literature.

description: We aim at modeling the infrared galaxy evolution in an as simple as possible way and reproduce statistical properties among which the number counts between 15 microns and 1.1 mm, the luminosity functions, and the redshift distributions. We then aim at using this model to interpret the recent observations (Spitzer, Akari, BLAST, LABOCA, AzTEC, SPT and Herschel), and make predictions for future experiments like CCAT or SPICA. This model uses an evolution in density and luminosity of the luminosity function with two breaks at redshift ~0.9 and 2 and contains the two populations of the Lagache et al. (2004) model: normal and starburst galaxies. We also take into account the effect of the strong lensing of high-redshift sub-millimeter galaxies. It has 13 free parameters and 8 additional calibration parameters. We fit the parameters to the IRAS, Spitzer, Herschel and AzTEC measurements with a Monte-Carlo Markov chain. The model ajusted on deep counts at key wavelengths reproduces the counts from the mid-infrared to the millimeter wavelengths, as well as the mid-infrared luminosity functions. We discuss the contribution to the cosmic infrared background (CIB) and to the infrared luminosity density of the different populations. We also estimate the effect of the lensing on the number counts, and discuss the recent discovery by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) of a very bright population lying at high-redshift. We predict confusion level for future missions using a P(D) formalism, and the Universe opacity to TeV photons due to the CIB.

We find that close to the critical temperature $T_c$ of zero current, the numerical results of both the p wave model and the $p+ip$ model are the same as those of Ginzburg-Landau (G-L) theory, for example, the critical current $j_c \sim (T_c-T)^{3/2}$ and the phase transition in the presence of a DC current is a first order transition. Besides the similar results between both models, the $p+ip$ superconductor shows isotropic behavior for the supercurrent, while the p-wave superconductor shows anisotropic behavior for the supercurrent.

description: We show that semiconductor nanowires coupled to an s-wave superconductor provide a playground to study effects of interactions between different topological superconducting phases supporting Majorana zero-energy modes. We consider quasi-one dimensional system where the topological phases emerge from different transverse subbands in the nanowire. In a certain parameter space, we show that there is a multicritical point in the phase diagram where the low-energy theory is equivalent to the one describing two coupled Majorana chains. We study effect of interactions as well as symmetry-breaking perturbations on the topological phase diagram in the vicinity of this multicritical point. Our results shed light on the stability of the topological phase around the multicritical point and have important implications for the experiments on Majorana nanowires.

description: State-of-the-art (SOTA) visual object tracking methods have significantly enhanced the autonomy of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). However, in low-light conditions, the presence of irregular real noise from the environments severely degrades the performance of these SOTA methods. Moreover, existing SOTA denoising techniques often fail to meet the real-time processing requirements when deployed as plug-and-play denoisers for UAV tracking. To address this challenge, this work proposes a novel conditional generative denoiser (CGDenoiser), which breaks free from the limitations of traditional deterministic paradigms and generates the noise conditioning on the input, subsequently removing it. To better align the input dimensions and accelerate inference, a novel nested residual Transformer conditionalizer is developed. Furthermore, an innovative multi-kernel conditional refiner is designed to pertinently refine the denoised output. Extensive experiments show that CGDenoiser promotes the tracking precision of the SOTA tracker by 18.18\% on DarkTrack2021 whereas working 5.8 times faster than the second well-performed denoiser. Real-world tests with complex challenges also prove the effectiveness and practicality of CGDenoiser. Code, video demo and supplementary proof for CGDenoier are now available at: \url{https://github.com/vision4robotics/CGDenoiser}.

description: The first observation of the kaonic 3He 3d - 2p transition was made using slow K- mesons stopped in a gaseous 3He target. The kaonic atom X-rays were detected with large-area silicon drift detectors using the timing information of the K+K- pairs of phi-meson decays produced by the DAFNE e+e- collider. The strong interaction shift of the kaonic 3He 2p state was determined to be -2+-2 (stat)+-4 (syst) eV.

description: We present a technique for manipulating the nuclear spins and the emission polarization from a single optically active quantum dot. When the quantum dot is tunnel coupled to a Fermi sea, we have discovered a natural cycle in which an electron spin is repeatedly created with resonant optical excitation. The spontaneous emission polarization and the nuclear spin polarization exhibit a bistability. For a sigma(+) pump, the emission switches from sigma(+) to sigma(-) at a particular detuning of the laser. Simultaneously, the nuclear spin polarization switches from positive to negative. Away from the bistability, the nuclear spin polarization can be changed continuously from negative to positive, allowing precise control via the laser wavelength.

The enhanced crystal-chemistry and structure prediction of beryl
Creators: name: Henry, Rhiana Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: This dissertation is a multipart study of the crystal-chemistry and structure of the mineral beryl. The H₂O and Na content of beryl are quantified and related for emerald and each major beryl variety using single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The crystal-chemistry of beryl is shown to have differences across beryl varieties. A model that accurately determines the permutations in the beryl crystal structure using measured chemistry is created and is used to explore the limitations of the mineral. Beryl from the Prof Pegmatite near Revelstoke, British Columbia, is examined, using knowledge gained during this research. Beryl (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈) is a well-known mineral, most famously in its vivid green form of emerald, but also in a range of colors. Prominent varieties of beryl aside from emerald include aquamarine, red beryl, heliodor, goshenite, and morganite. Emerald is studied first to remedy problems in prior research and to prove that this methodology is reliable. A relation between Na and H₂O content in beryl is determined that is consistent for beryl with significant Na content. Natural red beryl is regularly anhydrous, and heliodor has too low a Na content to reliably determine H₂O content from measured Na. A complete crystal structure of beryl can be calculated using chemical composition by utilizing the average ionic radii of the cations within the Al- and Be-sites. The structure is predictable using the Al-site average ionic radius for octahedrally trending beryl or the Be-site average ionic radius for tetrahedrally trending beryl. This model makes it possible to explore limitations on the beryl structure and the possibility of unusual cation substitutions. It is robust for true beryl up to a high limit of cation substitutions. The beryl studied from the Prof Pegmatite demonstrates an application of the crystal-chemical models to a newly described locality. This research will help guide future beryl studies in classifying beryl variety by chemistry and structure and allow for the calculation of H₂O content in a range of beryl varieties from easily measured Na content. Future beryl studies will be able to determine crystal structures during standard chemical analyses using the predictive structural model.
Opportunities and lessons learnt from AgGateway’s field operations interoperability effort

description: Data sharing and reuse in the industrial field-operations space has the potential to unlock huge value for farmers and their business partners, but it has been limited by two fundamental interoperability challenges: Lack of common data formats, lack of common semantics (meanings)
An collaborative international effort (reflected in the SPADE, PAIL and ADAPT projects) has been taking place since 2011 in the context of the AgGateway organization, which brought together machine and implement manufacturers (OEMs), farm management information system (FMIS) companies and service providers to implement existing standards, and work with standards organizations to create new ones where appropriate standards didn’t fit or exist.
Key lessons from the process include:

	Implementation of these solutions by OEMs and FMIS companies requires significant allocation of resources, which is difficult in the context of “lean” organizations. A chicken-and-egg problem ensues, where the various actors until hedge they see others make the commitment.
	This pattern can be broken when a major industry player commits, and reaps early-adopter benefits accordingly. Others soon follow, and soon a participation & investment become normal.
	A succession of small, limited scope projects can continue to make progress when there is no longer momentum for large, open-ended commitments.
	Face-to-face trust-building is an effective tool for competitors to find, and come together to collaborate in, a pre-competitive space.
	Opportunities are numerous, and include:
	It becomes easier for software companies to provide farmers with friction-less tools that can support principled agronomic and farm management decisions (e.g., by leveraging soil test and crop protection label data, calculating nutrient and active ingredient loads, restricted-entry and pre-harvest interval notifications, and so forth).
	It becomes easier for farmers to share data with partners in valuable ways (e.g., custom application, accurate seed, crop nutrition and crop protection purchase orders, cost and revenue-sharing with landlords, information exchange with insurers and financiers, etc.).
	Many of these applications can be implemented using mobile technology, and are applicable both a) by small companies and b) in a smallholder context, leveraging interoperability investments made by major industry players.

description: We can find research fronts by continuously tracking the most important scientific research papers in the world, and analyzing the cited patterns and clustering of papers, especially the frequent co-citation of highly cited papers into clusters. A research front is formed when a cluster of highly cited papers are cited together to a certain degree. Base on the bibliometrics method, we selected 14 research fronts in 2017 from the ESI database of agricultural science, animal and plant science in Web of Science relying on the related experts. We also analyzed the structure and layout of the 2017 global agricultural science research fronts and etc.

description: Quantum entanglement plays a vital role in many quantum information and communication tasks. Entangled states of higher dimensional systems are of great interest due to the extended possibilities they provide. For example, they allow the realisation of new types of quantum information schemes that can offer higher information-density coding and greater resilience to errors than can be achieved with entangled two-dimensional systems. Closing the detection loophole in Bell test experiments is also more experimentally feasible when higher dimensional entangled systems are used. We have measured previously untested correlations between two photons to experimentally demonstrate high-dimensional entangled states. We obtain violations of Bell-type inequalities generalised to d-dimensional systems with up to d = 12. Furthermore, the violations are strong enough to indicate genuine 11-dimensional entanglement. Our experiments use photons entangled in orbital angular momentum (OAM), generated through spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), and manipulated using computer controlled holograms.

description: We provide a path integral treatment of the decoherence process induced by a heat bath on a single particle whose dynamics is classically chaotic and show that the decoherence rate is given by the Lyapunov exponent. The loss of coherence is charaterized by the purity, which is calculated semiclassically within diagonal approximation, when the particle initial state is a single gaussian wave packet. The calculation is performed for weak dissipation and in the high temperature limit. This situation allows us to simplify the heat bath description to a single random potential. Although the dissipative term is neglected in such approach, the fluctuating one can be treated phenomenologically to fit with the above regime. Our results are therefore valid for times shorter than the inverse of the dissipation rate.

The Council of Europe v. state restriction of NGOs : can they do more to protect civil society?
Creators: name: Yao, Tzu-Yu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Shrinking civic space has become increasingly widespread worldwide since the mid-2000s, including in recognized liberal democracies. A component of shrinking civic space includes violent and non-violent state backlash against civil society organizations to restrict their activities. The Council of Europe, armed with the ratified European Convention of Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights, has been widely regarded as the most effective human rights system in the world. Thus, using the Council of Europe as a case study, this paper examines the CoE’s response to non-violent state backlash against NGOs. How is the Council of Europe responding to CoE member states increasing use of legal and administrative tools to restrict civil society freedoms? Are they acting to their full capacity? If not, why not?

description: The solar atmosphere is magnetically structured and highly dynamic. Owing to the dynamic nature of the regions in which the magnetic structures exist, waves can be excited in them. Numerical investigations of wave propagation in small-scale magnetic flux concentrations in the magnetic network on the Sun have shown that the nature of the excited modes depends on the value of plasma beta (the ratio of gas to magnetic pressure) where the driving motion occurs. Considering that these waves should give rise to observable characteristic signatures, we have attempted a study of synthesized emergent spectra from numerical simulations of magneto-acoustic wave propagation. We find that the signatures of wave propagation in a magnetic element can be detected when the spatial resolution is sufficiently high to clearly resolve it, enabling observations in different regions within the flux concentration. The possibility to probe various lines of sight around the flux concentration bears the potential to reveal different modes of the magnetohydrodynamic waves and mode conversion. We highlight the feasibility of using the Stokes-V asymmetries as a diagnostic tool to study the wave propagation within magnetic flux concentrations. These quantities can possibly be compared with existing and new observations in order to place constraints on different wave excitation mechanisms.

description: In this paper we analyze perturbatively a g phi^4 classical field theory with and without temperature. In order to do that, we make use of a path-integral approach developed some time ago for classical theories. It turns out that the diagrams appearing at the classical level are many more than at the quantum level due to the presence of extra auxiliary fields in the classical formalism. We shall show that several of those diagrams cancel against each other due to a universal supersymmetry present in the classical path integral mentioned above. The same supersymmetry allows the introduction of super-fields and super-diagrams which considerably simplify the calculations and make the classical perturbative calculations almost "identical" formally to the quantum ones. Using the super-diagrams technique we develop the classical perturbation theory up to third order. We conclude the paper with a perturbative check of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem.
