Ice flow

description: The Google Earth imagery can give us some evidence of the ice flows of Antarctica. Here we will show, in particular, that the Google Earth time series can evidence the motion of some surface features, which are considered as the surface expression of basal crevasses. We can measure the rate of their motion too.

description: We study how fluctuations in fluid dynamic fields can be dissipated or amplified within the characteristic spatio-temporal structure of a heavy ion collision. The initial conditions for a fluid dynamic evolution of heavy ion collisions may contain significant fluctuations in all fluid dynamical fields, including the velocity field and its vorticity components. We formulate and analyze the theory of local fluctuations around average fluid fields described by Bjorken's model. For conditions of laminar flow, when a linearized treatment of the dynamic evolution applies, we discuss explicitly how fluctuations of large wave number get dissipated while modes of sufficiently long wave-length pass almost unattenuated or can even be amplified. In the opposite case of large Reynold's numbers (which is inverse to viscosity), we establish that (after suitable coordinate transformations) the dynamics is governed by an evolution equation of non-relativistic Navier-Stokes type that becomes essentially two-dimensional at late times. One can then use the theory of Kolmogorov and Kraichnan for an explicit characterization of turbulent phenomena in terms of the wave-mode dependence of correlations of fluid dynamic fields. We note in particular that fluid dynamic correlations introduce characteristic power-law dependences in two-particle correlation functions.

description: Two topics are presented: synchronization games and synchronization costs. In a synchronization game on a deterministic finite automaton, there are two players, Alice and Bob, whose moves alternate. Alice wants to synchronize the given automaton, while Bob aims to make her task as hard as possible. We answer a few natural questions related to such games. Speaking about synchronization costs, we consider deterministic automata in which each transition has a certain price. The problem is whether or not a given automaton can be synchronized within a given budget. We determine the complexity of this problem. We also formulate a few open questions.

description: In the paper, we study behavior of discrete dynamical systems (automata) w.r.t. transitivity; that is, speaking loosely, we consider how diverse may be behavior of the system w.r.t. variety of word transformations performed by the system: We call a system completely transitive if, given arbitrary pair $a,b$ of finite words that have equal lengths, the system $\mathfrak A$, while evolution during (discrete) time, at a certain moment transforms $a$ into $b$. To every system $\mathfrak A$, we put into a correspondence a family $\mathcal F_{\mathfrak A}$ of continuous maps of a suitable non-Archimedean metric space and show that the system is completely transitive if and only if the family $\mathcal F_{\mathfrak A}$ is ergodic w.r.t. the Haar measure; then we find easy-to-verify conditions the system must satisfy to be completely transitive. The theory can be applied to analyze behavior of straight-line computer programs (in particular, pseudo-random number generators that are used in cryptography and simulations) since basic CPU instructions (both numerical and logical) can be considered as continuous maps of a (non-Archimedean) metric space $\mathbb Z_2$ of 2-adic integers.

description: The aim of the present paper is to extend the dualizing object approach to Stone duality to the non-commutative setting of skew Boolean algebras. This continues the study of non-commutative generalizations of different forms of Stone duality initiated in recent papers by Bauer and Cvetko-Vah, Lawson, Lawson and Lenz, Resende, and also the current author. In particular, we construct a series of dual adjunctions between the categories of Boolean spaces and skew Boolean algebras, unital versions of which are induced by dualizing objects ${0,1,..., n+1}$, $n\geq 0$. We describe Eilenberg-Moore categories of the monads of our adjunctions and construct easily understood non-commutative reflections of skew Boolean algebras, where the latter can be faithfully embedded (if $n\geq 1$) in a canonical way. As an application, we answer the question that arose in a recent paper by Leech and Spinks to describe the left adjoint to their `twisted product' functor $ω$.

description: We compute the non-equilibrium stress tensor induced by a heavy quark moving through weakly coupled QCD plasma at the speed of light and compare the result to N = 4 Super Yang Mills theory at strong coupling. The QCD Boltzmann equation is reformulated as a Fokker-Planck equation in a leading log approximation which is used to compute the induced stress. The transition from nonequilibrium at short distances to equilibrium at large distances is analyzed with first and second order hydrodynamics. Even after accounting for the obvious differences in shear lengths, the strongly coupled theory is significantly better described by hydrodynamics at sub-asymptotic distances. We argue that this difference between the kinetic and AdS/CFT theories is related to the second order hydrodynamic coefficient $τ_π$. $τ_π$ is numerically large in units of the shear length for theories based on the Boltzmann equation.

Evolutionary accessibility in tunably rugged fitness landscapes

description: The adaptive evolution of a population under the influence of mutation and selection is strongly influenced by the structure of the underlying fitness landscape, which encodes the interactions between mutations at different genetic loci. Theoretical studies of such landscapes have been carried out for several decades, but only recently experimental fitness measurements encompassing all possible combinations of small sets of mutations have become available. The empirical studies have spawned new questions about the accessibility of optimal genotypes under natural selection. Depending on population dynamic parameters such as mutation rate and population size, evolutionary accessibility can be quantified through the statistics of accessible mutational pathways (along which fitness increases monotoncially), or through the study of the basin of attraction of the optimal genotype under greedy (steepest ascent) dynamics. Here we investigate these two measures of accessibility in the framework of Kauffman's $LK$-model, a paradigmatic family of random fitness landscapes with tunable ruggedness. The key parameter governing the strength of genetic interactions is the number $K$ of interaction partners of each of the $L$ sites in the genotype sequence. In general, accessibility increases with increasing genotype dimensionality $L$ and decreases with increasing number of interactions $K$. Remarkably, however, we find that some measures of accessibility behave non-monotonically as a function of $K$, indicating a special role of the most sparsely connected, non-trivial cases K=1 and 2. The relation between models for fitness landscapes and spin glasses is also addressed.

Electro-hydrodynamics of gas-solid fluidized beds
Creators: name: Jalalinejad, Farzaneh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The generation of electrical charges, reported in gas-solid fluidized beds for over sixty years, can cause serious problems like wall sheeting in polyolefin reactors, leading to costly shutdown, electrical shock hazards and even explosions. Understanding the associated phenomena plays an important role to avoid these problems. In this study an attempt has been made to broaden the understanding of electrostatics in fluidized beds by adopting computational fluid dynamics (CFD), using the Two-Fluid-Model in MFIX (an open-source code originated by the U.S. Department of Energy). The Maxwell equations were incorporated in the MFIX code. The resulting model is then used to investigate how electrostatics modify bubble shape, size, velocity and interaction for three cases: (a) single bubbles, (b) bubble pairs in vertical and horizontal alignment, and (c) a freely-bubbling bed. In each of these cases, a two-dimensional column, partially filled with mono-sized particles, is simulated for both uncharged and charged particles. In case (a), it is predicted that single bubbles elongate and rise more quickly in charged particles than in uncharged ones. For case (b), electrostatics cause asymmetry of coalescence for a pair of vertically-aligned bubbles, while leading to the migration of a side bubble towards the axis of the column and changing the leading-trailing role for a pair of horizontally-aligned bubbles. Finally in case (c), the simulation predicts that electrostatics decrease bubble size and frequency in the free bubbling regime, accompanied by a change in the spatial distribution of bubbles, causing them to rise more towards the axis of the column. An attempt was also made to test experimentally the single bubble simulations. To reach this goal, a two-dimensional fluidization column was built with a central jet to inject single bubbles. The setup is equipped with a novel Faraday-cup device to measure the charge density accurately. The experimental results indicates a small decrease in bubble size and an increase in bubble height-to-width ratio with increasing charge density, accompanied by an increase in particles raining from the bubble roof. The assumption of uniform charge density on the particles is identified as a significant reason for differences between observed and predicted behaviour.

Thermal and dietary optimization in the hatchery culture of juvenile Pacific geoduck clams (Panopea generosa, Gould 1850)
Creators: name: Arney, Bianca Danielle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This research is the first to examine thermal and dietary optimization in the hatchery culture of juvenile Pacific geoduck (Panopea generosa). Chapter 2 investigated temperature and feed ration optimization; chapter 3 examined live algae substitution with the spray-dried species, Schizochytrium spp. or Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis). Geoduck growth and survival were measured to quantify treatment success. The temperature trial tested four temperatures (7, 11, 15, 19 °C) in juvenile and post-larval culture. Temperature promoted a significant growth effect in both sizes. The 19 °C culture elicited a delayed growth benefit in juveniles, and suppressed ash-free dry weight (AFDW), which recommends utilization of 15 °C. In contrast, geoduck post-larvae displayed immediate (post 7 d) shell growth acceleration at 19 °C. The 19 °C temperature shortened the rearing period by 2.9 d, suggesting its application in post-larval culture. The ration experiment examined the feed ration requirements of four geoduck juvenile size classes. Ration quantities between 0.0 - 128.0x10⁶ equivalent Isochrysis cells individual⁻¹ day⁻¹ were tested. All treatments received Chaetoceros muelleri and Isochrysis sp. mixed by AFDW. Following shell length/wet weight optimization, the following rations (10⁶ equivalent Isochrysis cells individual⁻¹ day⁻¹) should be applied between week 1 and 4 of the tested geoduck culture: 4.0 (1); 8.0 (2); 16.0 or 32.0 (shell length or wet weight optimum, respectively; 3); and 32.0 (4). The algae substitution trial replaced the above bi-algae diet with variant levels (0, 25, 50, 75, 100%) of Schizochytrium or Spirulina in two size classes. Between spray-dried diets, Spirulina treatments enhanced geoduck growth. However, overall growth displayed a general decline with elevated spray-dried inclusion and maximal growth occurred between 0 – 25% substitution. The superior bi-algae diet contained a polyunsaturated fatty acid Σn – 3/n – 6 ratio of 2.9, a value conserved in the bivalve literature. This may indicate its importance in future bivalve studies. Tissue analysis suggested potential limited digestion of spray-dried derived protein or carbohydrate, but indicated general lipid/fatty acid sequestration. These findings do not recommend dietary incorporation of Schizochytrium or Spirulina, but culture refinement may enhance juvenile geoduck hatchery production.

description: Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) has become an essential tool for the analysis of complex stochastic models when the likelihood function is numerically unavailable. However, the well-established statistical method of empirical likelihood provides another route to such settings that bypasses simulations from the model and the choices of the ABC parameters (summary statistics, distance, tolerance), while being convergent in the number of observations. Furthermore, bypassing model simulations may lead to significant time savings in complex models, for instance those found in population genetics. The BCel algorithm we develop in this paper also provides an evaluation of its own performance through an associated effective sample size. The method is illustrated using several examples, including estimation of standard distributions, time series, and population genetics models.

A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF SPARSE DEEP LEARNING WITH DIFFERENT PENALTIES
Creators: name: Tao, Xinlin
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Deep learning
Statistics not elsewhere classified

description: Deep learning has been the driving force behind many successful data science achievements. However, the deep neural network (DNN) that forms the basis of deep learning is often over-parameterized, leading to training, prediction, and interpretation challenges. To address this issue, it is common practice to apply an appropriate penalty to each connection weight, limiting its magnitude. This approach is equivalent to imposing a prior distribution on each connection weight from a Bayesian perspective. This project offers a systematic investigation into the selection of the penalty function or prior distribution. Specifically, under the general theoretical framework of posterior consistency, we prove that consistent sparse deep learning can be achieved with a variety of penalty functions or prior distributions. Examples include amenable regularization penalties (such as MCP and SCAD), spike-and?slab priors (such as mixture Gaussian distribution and mixture Laplace distribution), and polynomial decayed priors (such as the student-t distribution). Our theory is supported by numerical results.

description: In dense colloids it is commonly assumed that hydrodynamic interactions do not play a role. However, a found theoretical quantification is often missing. We present computer simulations that are motivated by experiments where a large colloidal particle is dragged through a colloidal crystal. To qualify the influence of long-ranged hydrodynamics, we model the setup by conventional Langevin dynamics simulations and by an improved scheme with limited hydrodynamic interactions. This scheme significantly improves our results and allows to show that hydrodynamics strongly impacts on the development of defects, the crystal regeneration as well as on the jamming behavior.

description: We present new planet candidates identified in NASA Kepler quarter two public release data by volunteers engaged in the Planet Hunters citizen science project. The two candidates presented here survive checks for false-positives, including examination of the pixel offset to constrain the possibility of a background eclipsing binary. The orbital periods of the planet candidates are 97.46 days (KIC 4552729) and 284.03 (KIC 10005758) days and the modeled planet radii are 5.3 and 3.8 R_Earth. The latter star has an additional known planet candidate with a radius of 5.05 R_Earth and a period of 134.49 which was detected by the Kepler pipeline. The discovery of these candidates illustrates the value of massively distributed volunteer review of the Kepler database to recover candidates which were otherwise uncatalogued.

description: We derive the leading non-global logarithms (NGLs) of ratios of jet masses m_{1,2} and a jet energy veto Λdue to soft gluons splitting into regions in and out of jets. Such NGLs appear in any exclusive jet cross section with multiple jet measurements or with a veto imposed on additional jets. Here, we consider back-to-back jets of radius R produced in e^+e^- collisions, found with a cone or recombination algorithm. The leading NGLs are of the form α_s^2 \ln^2(Λ/m_{1,2}) or α_s^2\ln^2(m_1/m_2). Their coefficients depend both on the algorithm and on R. We consider cone, \kt, anti-\kt, and Cambridge-Aachen algorithms. In addition to determining the full algorithmic and R dependence of the leading NGLs, we derive new relations among their coefficients. We also derive to all orders in α_s a factorized form for the soft function S(k_L,k_R,Λ) in the cross section σ(m_1,m_2,Λ) in which dependence on each of the global logs of μ/k_L, μ/k_R and μ/Λdetermined by the renormalization group are separated from one another and from the non-global logs. The same kind of soft function, its associated non-global structure, and the algorithmic dependence we derive here will also arise in exclusive jet cross sections at hadron colliders, and must be understood and brought under control to achieve precise theoretical predictions.

description: We consider normal covers of CP^1 with abelian deck group, branched over at most four points. Families of such covers yield arithmetic Teichmüller curves, whose period mapping may be described geometrically in terms of Schwarz triangle mappings. These Teichmüller curves are generated by abelian square-tiled surfaces. We compute all individual Lyapunov exponents for abelian square-tiled surfaces, and demonstrate a direct and transparent dependence on the geometry of the period mapping. For this we develop a result of independent interest, which, for certain rank two bundles, expresses Lyapunov exponents in terms of the period mapping. In the case of abelian square-tiled surfaces, the Lyapunov exponents are ratios of areas of hyperbolic triangles.

description: We consider the (finite) $W$-algebra $W_{m|n}$ attached to the principal nilpotent orbit in the general linear Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n}(\mathbb C)$. Our main result gives an explicit description of $W_{m|n}$ as a certain truncation of a shifted version of the Yangian $Y(\mathfrak{gl}_{1|1})$. We also show that $W_{m|n}$ admits a triangular decomposition and construct its irreducible representations.

description: We derive quantum counterparts of two key theorems of classical information theory, namely, the rate distortion theorem and the source-channel separation theorem. The rate-distortion theorem gives the ultimate limits on lossy data compression, and the source-channel separation theorem implies that a two-stage protocol consisting of compression and channel coding is optimal for transmitting a memoryless source over a memoryless channel. In spite of their importance in the classical domain, there has been surprisingly little work in these areas for quantum information theory. In the present paper, we prove that the quantum rate distortion function is given in terms of the regularized entanglement of purification. We also determine a single-letter expression for the entanglement-assisted quantum rate distortion function, and we prove that it serves as a lower bound on the unassisted quantum rate distortion function. This implies that the unassisted quantum rate distortion function is non-negative and generally not equal to the coherent information between the source and distorted output (in spite of Barnum's conjecture that the coherent information would be relevant here). Moreover, we prove several quantum source-channel separation theorems. The strongest of these are in the entanglement-assisted setting, in which we establish a necessary and sufficient codition for transmitting a memoryless source over a memoryless quantum channel up to a given distortion.

description: We revisit the problem of the plateau transition in the integer quantum Hall effect. Here we develop an analytical approach for this transition, based on the theory of conformal restriction. This is a mathematical theory that was recently developed within the context of the Schramm-Loewner evolution which describes the stochastic geometry of fractal curves and other stochastic geometrical fractal objects in 2D space. Observables elucidating the connection with the plateau transition include the so-called point-contact conductances (PCCs) between points on the boundary of the sample, described within the language of the Chalker-Coddington network model. We show that the disorder-averaged PCCs are characterized by classical probabilities for certain geometric objects in the plane (pictures), occurring with positive statistical weights, that satisfy the crucial restriction property with respect to changes in the shape of the sample with absorbing boundaries. Upon combining this restriction property with the expected conformal invariance at the transition point, we employ the mathematical theory of conformal restriction measures to relate the disorder-averaged PCCs to correlation functions of primary operators in a conformal field theory (of central charge $c=0$). We show how this can be used to calculate these functions in a number of geometries with various boundary conditions. Since our results employ only the conformal restriction property, they are equally applicable to a number of other critical disordered electronic systems in 2D. For most of these systems, we also predict exact values of critical exponents related to the spatial behavior of various disorder-averaged PCCs.

description: X-ray surface brightness fluctuations in the core ($650 \times 650$ kpc) region of the Coma cluster observed with XMM-Newton and Chandra are analyzed using a 2D power spectrum approach. The resulting 2D spectra are converted to 3D power spectra of gas density fluctuations. Our independent analyses of the XMM-Newton and Chandra observations are in excellent agreement and provide the most sensitive measurements of surface brightness and density fluctuations for a hot cluster. We find that the characteristic amplitude of the volume filling density fluctuations relative to the smooth underlying density distribution varies from 7-10% on scales of $\sim$500 kpc down to $\sim$5% at scales $\sim$ 30 kpc. On smaller spatial scales, projection effects smear the density fluctuations by a large factor, precluding strong limits on the fluctuations in 3D. On the largest scales probed (hundreds of kpc), the dominant contributions to the observed fluctuations most likely arise from perturbations of the gravitational potential by the two most massive galaxies in Coma, NGC4874 and NGC4889, and the low entropy gas brought to the cluster by an infalling group. Other plausible sources of X-ray surface brightness fluctuations are discussed, including turbulence, metal abundance variations, and unresolved sources. Despite a variety of possible origins for density fluctuations, the gas in the Coma cluster core is remarkably homogeneous on scales from $\sim$ 500 to $\sim$30 kpc.

description: Grundlegende Kenntnisse zur scherinduzierten Kristallisation (FIC) sind erforderlich, um das Verhalten von Polymeren während der Schmelzeverarbeitung zu verstehen. Reines Polyamid 66 wurde untersucht, um die Kristallisation der gescherten Schmelze unter prozessrelevanten Kristallisationsbedingungen zu verstehen, und es wurde festgestellt, dass eine kritische Scherrate von 0.1 s-1 und eine kritische Arbeit von 0.1 MPa erforderlich sind, um eine Kettendehnung zu erzeugen, welche dann zu einer verkürzten Kristallisationszeit führt. Die scherinduzierten Kristallisationsprecursor wirken wie heterogene Keime und verkürzen die Kristallisationszeit nur im heterogenen Keimbildungsbereich. In Kohlenstoffnanoröhren (CNT) enthaltenden Nanokompositen gab es keine Auswirkungen der FIC, wenn die CNT-Beladung ein Sättigungsnetzwerk innerhalb der Polymermatrix entwickelte, was zu dem Schluss führte, dass es unabhängig von der Quelle einen Sättigungspunkt für heterogene Keimbildung gibt.
description: A foundational knowledge of flow-induced crystallization (FIC) is required to understand polymer behaviors during melt flow manufacturing. Neat polyamide 66 was studied to understand the crystallization behavior of the sheared melt under process-relevant crystallization conditions, and it was discovered that a critical shear rate of 0.1 s-1 and a critical work of 0.1 MPa is required to produce chain orientation, resulting in reduced crystallization time. The precursors from shearing act like heterogeneous nucleation sites, decreasing the time of crystallization only in the heterogeneous nucleation regime. In carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites, when the CNT loading developed a saturating network within the polymer matrix, there were no effects of FIC, leading to the conclusion that there is a saturation point for heterogeneous nucleation regardless of the source.
