X-ray binaries jets: a polarimetric view
Creators: name: Baglio, Maria Cristina
name: Russell, David M.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021
Subjects: Jets, X-ray binaries, Polarization

description: Low mass X-ray binaries are known sources of relativistic jets emission. Jets are typically detected in the radio, where their contribution is dominant, but sometimes it is possible to observe signatures of their emission also at higher frequencies, namely the infrared and the optical. The most common jet feature that is observed at these wavelengths is an infrared excess in the broad-band spectrum, due to the optically thin synchrotron emission of the jet that is superimposed to the low-frequency black body tail of the accretion disc. Moreover, strong short timescale variability is often observed at infrared and optical frequencies, which suggests for the emission of strongly variable jets. Synchrotron emission is known to be intrinsically linearly polarized. Therefore, if jets are emitted, the detection of linear polarization is also expected, especially in the near infrared, depending on the level of ordering of the magnetic field lines in the jet. However, a small degree of linear polarization can also be observed in the optical, in case the overall contribution of the jet at those frequencies is significant. In this talk I will present a review of the most significant polarimetric measurements of Xray binaries aimed at unveiling the emission of jets in these systems.

The eccentric outsider. Or why Reyner Banham did not consider Giuseppe Samonà’s mega-project for the University of Cagliari

description: In 1976 Reyner Banham codified megastructure according to its mere pragmatism and lack of ideology, the essential qualities given by the British contribution – from Cedric Price to Archigram and their celebration of technology for a nomadic homo ludens. On this point he contrasted the Italian mega-architecture of the same period, dismissing it for its political collusions and figurative anxiety. While it is a truism that the postwar Italian architectural discourse was imbued in political ideology, Banham’s dismissal purposely misses out the intricacies of a period still awaiting thorough international reconsideration besides few recognised highlights of theorisation. By reviewing a neglected project whose gigantism is second to none of Banham’s examples – Giuseppe Samonà’s University of Cagliari – this essay digs into a chapter that ultimately reclaims its nature as outsider within the phenomenon of megastructure.

description: Little is known about morphological instability of a solidification front during the crystal growth of a thin film of flowing supercooled liquid with a free surface: for example, the ring-like ripples on the surface of icicles. The length scale of the ripples is nearly 1 cm. Two theoretical models for the ripple formation mechanism have been proposed. However, these models lead to quite different results because of differences in the boundary conditions at the solid-liquid interface and liquid-air surface. The validity of the assumption used in the two models is numerically investigated and some of the theoretical predictions are compared with experiments.

description: During the 70’s and 80’s, affordable housing production in Europe faced the huge emergency caused by rising urbanization. In suburban areas of European main cities, megastructures appeared, drawing visible marks in urban fabric. Megastructures were planned to synthesize residential functions and all existing services of traditional city in unique buildings. Nowadays, these buildings are affected by bad physical conditions and they are no longer able to satisfy the needs of the contemporary demand. The proposed paper investigates the genesis of housing megastructures with particular regards to the Italian case and council housing districts realized in Rome within the 1st public plan for council and affordable housing (1964), an original plan for the settlement of 700,000 inhabitants. A focus will be proposed concerning the differences between megastructures and traditional big buildings and the main connections between the spread of great-size buildings and the industrialization and automatization of construction techniques. An insight about possible future regenerations intervention is suggested.

description: Efficient electronic structure methods can be built around efficient tensor representations of the wavefunction. Here we describe a general view of tensor factorization for the compact representation of electronic wavefunctions. We use these ideas to construct low-complexity representations of the doubles amplitudes in local second order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory. We introduce two approximations - the direct orbital specific virtual approximation and the full orbital specific virtual approximation. In these approximations, each occupied orbital is associated with a small set of correlating virtual orbitals. Conceptually, the representation lies between the projected atomic orbital representation in Pulay-Saebø local correlation theories and pair natural orbital correlation theories. We have tested the orbital specific virtual approximations on a variety of systems and properties including total energies, reaction energies, and potential energy curves. Compared to the Pulay-Saebø ansatz, we find that these approximations exhibit favourable accuracy and computational times, while yielding smooth potential energy curves.

description: We present a new census of candidate pre-main-sequence stars in the Cepheus flare star-forming region, based on Gaia EDR3 parallaxes, proper motions, and colour-magnitude diagrams. We identified new candidate members of the previously known young stellar groups associated with NGC 7023, L1177, L1217/L1219, L1228, L1235, and L1251. We studied the 3D structure of the star-forming complex and the distribution of tangential velocities of the young stars. The young stellar groups are located between 330 and 368 pc from the Sun, divided into three kinematic subgroups, and have ages between 1 and 5 million yr. The results confirm the scenario of propagating star formation, suggested by previous studies. In addition to the bulk pre-main-sequence star population between 330 and 370 pc, there is a scattered and more evolved pre-main-sequence population around 150-180 pc. We found new candidate members of the nearby Cepheus Association, and identified a new moving group of 46, 15-20 million yr old pre-main-sequence stars located at a distance of 178 pc, around the A0-type star HD 190833. A few pre-main-sequence stars are located at 800-900 pc, indicative of star-forming regions associated with the Galactic local arm above the Galactic latitude of +10°.

Megaform versus Open Structure or the Legacy of Megastructure

description: Since the financial crisis of 2008, architecture must face growing conditions of instability. This rekindles the necessity to integrate the parameter of uncertainty into architectural design much like the concerns developed by the radical architects of the 1960s. At that time, these architects associated with megastructures challenged the opposites: fix/transient, permanent/ephemeral, primary/secondary structure, indeterminate/determinate. They raised the questions of uncertainty, instability over time, and gave shape to this condition. Their predecessors inside Team X introduced concepts like the ‘aesthetics of change’ (Smithsons), the ‘open form’ (Hansen), ‘open aesthetic’ (Voelcker) and developed architectural theories regarding indeterminacy and fragmentation. Out of a synthesis of this theoretical background, we propose to withdraw a conceptual tool with which we review the approach of two contemporary architectural offices, particularly concerned by the question of indeterminacy, uncertainty, open aesthetics and open structure in their achievements. Doing so, we aim to provide insights of what can constitutes a legacy out of megastrucuralist theory and identifies conceptual shifts.

An integrated planning framework for urban stormwater management : a one water approach
Creators: name: Hager, James Kirk
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Flooded streets and homes, polluted surface water bodies, degraded aquatic habitats, stressed aquifers, and expensive drainage infrastructure are evidence that Canada’s current approach to stormwater management is not financially or environmentally sustainable. Although there are several decision support tools and frameworks for stormwater management planning that have been developed in the past decade, few are suited to the specific needs of long-term community-level urban stormwater management planning in Canada’s diverse and extreme climates. To address the above-mentioned challenges, the development of a modern community-level urban stormwater decision support framework was proposed. The framework is capable of adapting to suit the needs of resilient stormwater infrastructure planning in Canada. The framework will assess low impact development infrastructure, traditional stormwater infrastructure, and community-level stormwater reuse schemes to identify the optimal resilient stormwater management strategy for a new urban community development in Canada based on the community’s water footprint. The proposed framework incorporates stochastic variation in natural processes (e.g., inter- and intra-annual variability in precipitation patterns) to predict a community’s water footprint using the “one water approach”. The one water approach is an integrated planning framework for managing all water resources (including stormwater, wastewater, and drinking water). A climate change sensitivity analysis is also incorporated to test any proposed stormwater systems for resiliency to Canada’s changing climate. The framework relies on two multi-criteria, multi-period decision-making methods to optimize a community’s stormwater infrastructure based on constraints defined by community planners. The proposed framework will allow new-community developers and planners to reduce a community’s long-term water footprint by identifying the optimal combination of resilient and cost-effective stormwater infrastructure. Two case studies were performed to highlight the capabilities of the developed framework. The results indicate that the optimal mix of stormwater infrastructure is heavily influenced by decision makers’ priorities, inter- and intra-annual weather patterns, site conditions, and regional predictions of climate change.
The Tragedy of the Megastructure

description: Relating the megastructure to the issue of the Commons is a useful exercise to understand the success and the disappearance of what Peter Reyner Banham called the “dinosaurs of the Modern Movement”. All these large-scale constructions suffered the same fate: a conflict between the promise of a large shared space and the temptation of its fragmentation. This quantitative quandary is also raised in another field by Garrett Hardin in 1968 as the ‘enclosure dilemma’. The publication of his article “The Tragedy of the Commons” sparked a broad controversy coinciding with the megastructure’s momentum. By assessing a number of theoretical correspondences, the article reexamines the impact of megastructures on the interdisciplinary debates of the time. It also considers the relationship between architecture and property as one of the possible–and tragically coincident–reasons for their success and dissolution.

description: People interact with a multitude of personal digital devices every day. However, transferring data between devices is still surprisingly cumbersome due to technical barriers, such as authentication or device pairing. Due to their clear affordances, physical devices offer a promising design space as mediators for natural interaction techniques. In a workshop and an elicitation study (n=30), we investigated different interaction techniques for cross-device data transfer using everyday objects. Our results suggest that depending on the use case, extending always-available physical objects might be more beneficial than developing new artifacts. Designing effective interaction techniques requires consideration of an artifact’s physical characteristics, affordances, and situational surroundings. Participants preferred multi-functional objects which are always at hand, such as their smartphone. However, they opted for more impersonal objects in unfamiliar situations. Interaction techniques associated with objects also influenced users' actions. We provide an overview of factors influencing intuitive interactions and we derived guidelines for user-centered development of interaction techniques with physical objects as mediators for data transfer.

description: Equally fascinated by the space frame, Yona Friedman and Eckhard Schulze-Fielitz came up with one of the most powerful alternative answers to the international crisis of urbanism and architecture in the late fifties and through the sixties. Megaspacestructure will be the portmanteau forged to encompass their common and distinctive view. The blended word subsumes the overriding features of their production, which impacted the theory of architecture and still question – up until this reassessment of their work – the “future of the city” as both project and fiction.

description: In this paper, we discuss alternative means of measuring the possible presence of local parity violation in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We focus on the phenomenon of charge separation and introduce the charged dipole vector $\hat{Q}^c_1$, which will measure the charge separation on an event-by-event basis. Using Monte Carlo events, we demonstrate the method and its discriminating power. In particular we show that such an analysis will reveal the strength of charge separation effect and its azimuthal correlation with the reaction plane. We further show that our proposed method may be able to distinguish between the actual charge separation effect and effects due to certain two particle correlations. The connection to present measurements based on particle correlations is discussed.

description: Jet-matter interaction remains a central question and a theoretical challenge in heavy-ion physics and might become important in high-multiplicity events in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies. Full jet measurement at LHC offer the proper tool to investigate energy loss process and fragmentation of hard parton in the medium. Since jet reconstruction will be constrained to small cone sizes, then study of the connection between jets and surrounding environment provides a further possibility to extend our exploration. We study jets at s = (14 TeV)^2 and pp collisions at s = (7 TeV)^2. We analyze the flavor components in jet-like environments. We introduce a definition for surrounding cones/belts and investigate flavor dependence and correlation of different hadron species produced in jets. Here, we focus on proton-triggered correlations. Our analysis can be extended for heavy ion collisions.

Fatigability and adaptation to maximal eccentric exercise in young females and males
Creators: name: Bruce, Christina Dominique
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: In addition to fatigue, performance of unaccustomed eccentric (ECC) exercise causes temporary muscle damage, initiating a protective response to minimize damage from a subsequent bout (i.e., the repeated-bout effect; RBE). Indirect evidence suggests females experience greater muscle damage following ECC maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs). If true, this could induce a larger RBE for females than males; however, the RBE has not been compared between the sexes. PURPOSE: To compare fatigue and damage induced by ECC MVCs as well as the magnitude of the RBE in females and males. METHODS: Twelve males (21.6 ± 2.2yrs; 1.8 ± 0.1m; 82.4 ± 12.4kg) and twelve females (23.5 ± 3.0yrs; 1.6 ± 0.1m; 60.1 ± 4.1kg) performed two bouts (separated by four weeks) of 200 ECC MVCs of the dorsiflexors (60°/s from an ankle angle of 90° to 30° of plantar flexion; 4 sets of 50 reps; 1min rest between sets). Isometric (ISO) MVC torque and the ratio of ISO torque responses to low vs. high frequencies of electrical stimulation (10:100Hz) were compared before and after (2, 3, 5, and 10min, as well as 2, 4, and 7d) the fatiguing protocol. RESULTS: Measures of fatigue (ECC MVC torque) and damage (ISO MVC torque and 10:100Hz ratio) did not differ for females and males for bout one (all P > 0.05). Pooled data revealed decreases of 31.6 ± 13.4% for ECC MVC torque, 25.2 ± 13.9% for ISO MVC torque (2min post-exercise) and 53.6 ± 9.0% for 10:100Hz ratio (10min post-exercise). A two-way repeated measures ANOVA determined no main effect of sex or bout for any measure except the 10:100Hz ratio. Recovery of the ratio improved between bouts for both females and males (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that an initial bout of ECC MVCs causes equivalent fatigue and muscle damage of the dorsiflexors for females and males. After bout two, acute decreases in the 10:100Hz ratio are attenuated for both groups, suggesting a similar RBE for both females and males.

description: Arguably one of the most notorious movements of postwar architecture, I would like to emphasize the continued pertinence of Megastructures through the lens of its main tenets: The city, technology and the human condition. Despite its persistent labelling as utopian, the protagonists of the movement have committed themselves to seeking an adequate architectural response to the emerging challenges of urban settlements (the deliberate use of a seemingly old-fashioned term, highlights the discursive evolution of the eld) early on, a quest that presents itself as apodictic anticipation of the Urban Age3. Covering the technological and social aspects of the movement, I would like to shed some light on the entanglement of cybernetics and the notion of creative self-determination through participation. The anticipated hybridization of natural and technological agency in pro-actively constituting the environments we inhabit, came hand in hand with the rise of cybernetic networks and corresponding modes of power, issues at the heart of contemporary critical discourse on the future of the profession.

description: As a hybrid of techniques from open-loop and feedback control, Lyapunov control has the advantage that it is free from the measurement-induced decoherence but it includes the system's instantaneous message in the control loop. Often, the Lyapunov control is confronted with time delay in the control fields and difficulty in practical implementations of the control. In this paper, we study the effect of time-delay on the Lyapunov control, and explore the possibility of replacing the control field with a pulse train or a bang-bang signal. The efficiency of the Lyapunov control is also presented through examining the convergence time of the controlled system. These results suggest that the Lyapunov control is robust gainst time delay, easy to realize and effective for high-dimensional quantum systems.

description: Correlator product states (CPS) are a class of tensor network wavefunctions applicable to strongly correlated problems in arbitrary dimensions. Here, we present a method for optimizing and evaluating the energy of the CPS wavefunction that is non-variational but entirely deterministic. The fundamental assumption underlying our technique is that the CPS wavefunction is an exact eigenstate of the Hamiltonian, allowing the energy to be obtained approximately through a projection of the Schrödinger equation. The validity of this approximation is tested on two dimensional lattices for the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model, the spinless Hubbard model, and the full Hubbard model. In each of these models, the projected method reproduces the variational CPS energy to within 1%. For fermionic systems, we also demonstrate the incorporation of a Slater determinant reference into the ansatz, which allows CPS to act as a generalization of the Jastrow-Slater wavefunction.

Worm algorithm path integral quantum Monte Carlo results for interacting bosons restricted to the one dimensional continuum are compared to the finite temperature and system size predictions of Luttinger liquid theory. For large system sizes at low temperature, excellent agreement is obtained after including the leading irrelevant interactions in the Hamiltonian which are determined explicitly.

description: The abelian hierarchy of quantum Hall states accounts for most of the states in the lowest Landau level, and there is evidence of a similar hierarchy of non-abelian states emanating from the ν = 5/2 Moore-Read state in the second Landau level. Extending a recently developed formalism for hierarchical quasihole condensation, we present a theory that allows for the explicit construction of the ground state wave function, as well as its quasiparticle excitations, for any state based on the abelian hierarchy. We relate our construction to structures in rational conformal field theory and stress the importance of using coherent state wave functions which allows us to formulate an extension of the bulk - edge correspondence that was conjectured by Moore and Read. Finally, we study the proposed ground state wave functions in the limiting geometry of a thin torus and argue that they coincide with the known exact results.

description: Purpose: This field study aimed to guide the planning of iron amendments for phosphorus retention by investigating the long-term fate of iron added to two urban lakes (Plötzensee and Groß Glienicker See) in Berlin, Germany. The contributions of iron dosing to improve lake status as well as the relevance of competing processes for management success were evaluated. Methods: Sediment stratigraphy, as well as occurrence of iron minerals, and fluxes between water and sediment were examined using geochemical analyses (i.e. element composition, sequential extraction, X-ray diffraction, and pore water analyses). A one-box lake model was used to relate these fluxes to monitoring data from the water column and to sediment inventories. Results: In both lakes, the added iron was preserved in the sediment. Whereas phosphorus retention increased following the addition of iron to Groß Glienicker See, sulphur was retained by the excess iron in Plötzensee. This contrasting effect is attributed to significantly different sulphate reduction rates in two lakes (Wilcoxon rank sum test: W = 25, p = 0.008). According to the one-box model, sulphate reduction explained both the decrease in measured sulphate concentrations after iron application as well as the observed increase in sulphur deposition in the sediments. Conclusion: Management interventions involving iron amendments to enhance phosphorus retention must consider the competing process of iron sulphide formation during the entire management plan period, and additional iron may need to be applied to account for this effect.

description: Quantum phase transitions arise in many-body systems due to competing interactions that promote rivaling ground states. Recent years have seen the identification of continuous quantum phase transitions, or quantum critical points, in a host of antiferromagnetic heavy-fermion compounds. Studies of the interplay between the various effects have revealed new classes of quantum critical points, and are uncovering a plethora of new quantum phases. At the same time, quantum criticality has provided fresh insights into the electronic, magnetic, and superconducting properties of the heavy-fermion metals. We review these developments, discuss the open issues, and outline some directions for future research.

description: We investigate the temporal patterns of human communication and its influence on the spreading of information in social networks. The analysis of mobile phone calls of 20 million people in one country shows that human communication is bursty and happens in group conversations. These features have opposite effects in information reach: while bursts hinder propagation at large scales, conversations favor local rapid cascades. To explain these phenomena we define the dynamical strength of social ties, a quantity that encompasses both the topological and temporal patterns of human communication.

description: Black hole (BH)--torus systems are promising candidates for the central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and also possible outcomes of the collapse of supermassive stars to supermassive black holes (SMBHs). By three-dimensional general relativistic numerical simulations, we show that an $m=1$ nonaxisymmetric instability grows for a wide range of self-gravitating tori orbiting BHs. The resulting nonaxisymmetric structure persists for a timescale much longer than the dynamical one, becoming a strong emitter of large amplitude, quasiperiodic gravitational waves. Our results indicate that both, the central engine of GRBs and newly formed SMBHs, can be strong gravitational wave sources observable by forthcoming ground-based and spacecraft detectors.

Alternative becomings, alternative belongings : Cordillera case studies of records in context
Creators: name: Maestro, Lara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The creation, maintenance, transmission, and preservation of knowledge over time is common to human cultures around the world. Knowledge-keeping practices differ based on social and cultural context, and can take a variety of forms, including the oral, the embodied, and the written word. Archival studies is the discipline and profession that concerns itself with the management and care of knowledge in the form of records. However, archival theory originating in the European tradition, which is based on the custody of documents generated by bureaucratic states, has not traditionally considered records to include knowledge kept in forms other than the written word. Inspired by movements within the archival profession to expand the theoretical definitions that underpin archival work, this paper considers two examples of knowledge-keeping mechanisms – the bodong and Cordillera Day – in order to determine community-based approaches to the subjects of the record and the archives: the bodong system and Cordillera Day. It provides an analysis of how the bodong, an Indigenous socio-political system used in the Kalinga province of the Philippines, functions as a record among the Basao, Butbut, and Tanglag tribes. It also provides an analysis of how Cordillera Day, an annual political and cultural event bringing together the various Indigenous tribes in the Cordillera region of Luzon, functions as a living archive. This exploration was conducted using unstructured interviews, participant observation, and content analysis during fieldwork conducted in the Cordillera region of the Philippines, primarily in Kalinga Province. The study concludes that the bodong and Cordillera Day function in such a way that they are analogous to established archival definitions of the archive and the record, but that they do not need to be understood as such by the community in order to be useful or successful. Further, this thesis finds that the recordkeeping practices of these Indigenous communities is inextricably linked with political struggles for the defense of ancestral lands and for self-determination. The study suggests that flexible and social-justice oriented interpretations of archival theory, such as were applied during the study, could open possibilities for archivists to better meet their custodial, ethical, and affective obligations.

description: The burgeoning field of mobile mental health has brought increased awareness of the need for greater ethical and regulatory frameworks to guide the design, use, and implementation of innovative interventions for vulnerable populations. Mental healthcare has long been guided and regulated by ethical principles and codes of conduct aimed at ensuring standards of practice, professional behaviour, and good and fair delivery of care. Key ethical concepts, such as safety, privacy, and competency, form an integral part of the language and behaviours of mental health practitioners. These issues pervade mobile mental health in much of the same way as traditional mental healthcare. Yet, the multidisciplinary nature of mobile mental health demands a broader conceptualisation and application of these ideas. At its most basic level, mobile mental health unites the fields of mental health, computer science, and human computer interaction. Each of these unique disciplines has its own ethical considerations and standards. There is need for greater integration of all disciplines and a more unified approach to understanding these shared and unique ethical concepts. Without a holistic approach to these critical matters, we risk the development and implementation of mobile mental health which falls short of accepted standards and which pose potential risks to individuals and society. The present research seeks to address this challenge with the development of a systemic ethical framework for mobile mental health. Guided by preliminary review of literature, we conceptualised a systems-based framework capturing the interrelation of pertinent ethical concepts across various disciplines and stakeholder groups, from the fundamental unit of the individual user to practitioners, developers, health agencies, and governance.

description: The study investigated the level and determinants of adaptive capacity among rural women Niger state. A Multistage random sampling technique was used to select 100 Women from three (3) peri-urban villages (Maikunkele, Bosso and Chanchaga) purposively selected based on the prevalence of poverty alleviation programmes as well as proximity to the State Capital and Federal University of Technology, Minna. The Primary data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, adaptive capacity and beta regression. The results revealed that the level of participation in the various PAPs was very low except in the case of National Health Insurance Scheme. Moreover, less than 10% of the women possess adequate capacity to participate in the PAPs. It was also observed that most of the factors either alone or in interaction with others tend to suppress the adaptive capacity of the women to participate in the PAPs. It was further noted that most of the respondents have not acquired beyond secondary education haven spent about 8 years in formal education, although completing College of Education was found to increase adaptive capacity by about 5%. The most serious constraint against full participation in the PAPs is lack of awareness of the programmes. There is need to integrate awareness and education in the programme document of any PAP in order to raise the level of participation above what is reported in this study.
