description: We present secondary eclipse observations of the highly irradiated transiting brown dwarf KELT-1b. These observations represent the first constraints on the atmospheric dynamics of a highly irradiated brown dwarf, and the atmospheres of irradiated giant planets at high surface gravity. Using the Spitzer Space Telescope, we measure secondary eclipse depths of 0.195+/-0.010% at 3.6um and 0.200+/-0.012% at 4.5um. We also find tentative evidence for the secondary eclipse in the z' band with a depth of 0.049+/-0.023%. These measured eclipse depths are most consistent with an atmosphere model in which there is a strong substellar hotspot, implying that heat redistribution in the atmosphere of KELT-1b is low. While models with a more mild hotspot or even with dayside heat redistribution are only marginally disfavored, models with complete heat redistribution are strongly ruled out. The eclipse depths also prefer an atmosphere with no TiO inversion layer, although a model with TiO inversion is permitted in the dayside heat redistribution case, and we consider the possibility of a day-night TiO cold trap in this object. For the first time, we compare the IRAC colors of brown dwarfs and hot Jupiters as a function of effective temperature. Importantly, our measurements reveal that KELT-1b has a [3.6]-[4.5] color of 0.07+/-0.11, identical to that of isolated brown dwarfs of similarly high temperature. In contrast, hot Jupiters generally show redder [3.6]-[4.5] colors of ~0.4, with a very large range from ~0 to ~1. Evidently, despite being more similar to hot Jupiters than to isolated brown dwarfs in terms of external forcing of the atmosphere by stellar insolation, KELT-1b has an atmosphere most like that of other brown dwarfs. This suggests that surface gravity is very important in controlling the atmospheric systems of substellar mass bodies.

Chronic Fatigue Mechanisms in Autoimmune Diseases: Lessons  from Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Systemic Sclerosis
Creators: Elezzabi, Muhammad A.
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease affecting the body's connective tissues, resulting in progressive fibrosis and vasculopathy. In some cases, individuals with SSc may also develop primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), another autoimmune disease characterized by damage to their liver’s bile ducts. Chronic fatigue frequently affects SSc and PBC patients, significantly impacting their cognitive abilities

and quality of life. To date, there are no reliable treatments for these patients’ fatigue.  Research on myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) - a type of chronic fatigue characterized by post-exertional malaise - has uncovered potential connections between chronic fatigue and abnormalities in the metabolic dysfunction, atypical hypoxia responses, problems with oxygen delivery, and the immune system. The shared disease characteristics among PBC, SSc, and ME/CFS patients suggest that chronic fatigue has a physical basis and is not just a psychological phenomenon. This thesis provides an overview of the roles of metabolic dysfunctions, hypoxia responses, oxygen delivery problems, and immune system abnormalities in PBC and SSc

individuals, as well as the similarities to findings in those with ME/CFS. A deeper understanding of the commonalities between SSc and PBC will serve as a catalyst for designing more effective therapies for chronic fatigue, ultimately enhancing the patients' quality of life.
Face sketch colorization using conditional normalizing flow
Creators: Pi, Ruiqin
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

To colorized a face sketch involves adding appropriate color to the original sketch while maintaining the sketch's structure. This task combines the concept of gray-scale image colorization, which focuses on introducing color elements without changing the image's geometry, and image translation, which adds missing luminance and chrominance information to transform a sketch to a color image. However, existing works for gray-scale image colorization tend to produce satisfactory colorization results only when they are provided with a rich and detailed gray-scale image as input. In contrast, sketches have much less information because of its minimalistic nature and the absence of shading or texture details, which makes the colorization process more challenging, as it requires the model to not only add the necessary color elements but also infer the missing details based on the sketch's structure. Some researchers tend to address this problem using image translation techniques. State-of-the-art approaches using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) based models are preferred due to their impressive performance and realistic results. Nevertheless, the semantic difference between synthesized images and their corresponding input sketches remains a key challenge that needs further investigation. Recently, normalizing flow, which is a new generative model, with ability to losslessly encode and decode data, has shown potential to tackle the face sketch colorization problem.

In this thesis, we first focus on converting sketches and their corresponding color images to high-dimensional latent features using a conditional normalizing flow within an Encoder-Decoder architecture. This framework adopts an inverse learning mechanism to simultaneously learn the color encoding and decoding processes. To ensure preserving geometry of the sketch while maintaining high-quality colorization, we integrate a Feature Aggregation module into the coupling block of our normalizing flow. This module can adaptively fuse sketch and color information within a high-dimensional space. Moreover, our normalizing flow is designed to be memory-efficient, which requires much less computational resources compared to that of similar models. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of our method to preserve the input geometry and to achieve perceptually satisfying colorization quality using both qualitative and quantitative evaluations comparisons with existing methods. This research contributes to advancing the field of face sketch colorization, and providing an innovative solution that addresses some of the limitations of existing approaches.
Understanding Practices of Patient and Family Centred Care in Hospitals

Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

In Canada, the adoption of Patient and Family Centred Care (PFCC) initiatives for adult patient populations across hospital care settings are thought to improve quality of care, safety, and cost effectiveness. However, PFCC strategies have been reported to be difficult to implement and sustain at the direct level of acute patient care due to a variety of issues including competing organizational priorities, paradoxical ethical implications, and insufficient conceptual knowledge about PFCC in practice. These persistent difficulties suggest that care in general may actually be more complex than often assumed. As such, this study investigates everyday care practices to explore how patient and family centredness is enacted in acute care. The main research objective of this study is to think about the possibilities of improving care for patients and families in hospital settings by paying attention to the complex and entangled relations, actors, technologies, and politics involved in organizing care. A practice view of work and organization is used to explore how care of families and patients is enacted in hospitals. Ethnographic methods, including participant observation, document analysis, and interviews with patients, families and members of patient care teams were conducted over one year. The study took place in a teaching hospital located within Alberta and included two surgical wards that specialized in the delivery of orthopaedic care to adult patient populations. Five patients and their family members were recruited as case study participants. Nurses and unit managers were also shadowed, interviewed, and observed while organizing everyday care. Findings in this study are organized around three observations. First, hospitals are not neutral settings of care in which PFCC can simply be implemented. Second, there were multiple values entangled in nursing practices and these were not always aligned with the values, desires, or preferences of patients. Third, despite, or perhaps because of, significant material and bodily precarity, patients and families in this study worked actively to ‘centre’ themselves in day-to-day orthopaedic care practices. These findings are relevant for nurses and researchers interested in reinventing ideas about good care practices for patients and families experiencing hospitalization.

Rethinking Critical Thinking in Colombian High School Philosophy through Paul Ricoeur’s Phronesis: A Hermeneutic Inquiry
Creators: Prieto Galindo, Fredy
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Current times underscore the imperative to look for educational possibilities in Colombian schools that support a greater openness to listening to diverse voices. In my experience, the dominant training of critical thinking in high school philosophy courses is grounded in philosophical logic and modern epistemology deemed to be neutral, universal, and objective. Any view outside this framework is commonly disregarded. In such a context, I re-examine educational curricula aimed at cultivating critical thinking in philosophy courses and interview four Colombian teachers to ascertain their approaches to teaching high school philosophy.

More specifically, my interest lies in exploring the ways in which Paul Ricoeur’s (1913-2005) theory of phronesis (practical wisdom) might inform philosophy instruction. While my theoretical framework is based on Hans-Georg Gadamer’s (1900‒2002) and Ricoeur’s hermeneutics, a deeper understanding of Ricoeur’s phronesis as critical thinking for high school philosophy is my primary focus. Accordingly, my research question is: In what ways do teachers experience and understand the possibilities and complexities in teaching critical thinking in Colombian high school-level philosophy? A subsidiary question is: What new ways of understanding the teaching of critical thinking emerge from the Ricoeurean theory of phronesis?

My methodology is hermeneutic inquiry, which seeks to better comprehend a phenomenon in its own ambience and acquire other interpretations that allow an enrichment of the knowledge and practice around the phenomenon. In searching for new a comprehension of teaching critical thinking, I weave a hermeneutic autobiographical approach with my learnings from the participants’ interviews. Data collection includes my field journal, interviews, and participants’ teaching tools (syllabi, lesson plans, class record books, rubrics, etc.). The findings of this research study relate to three main themes: First, the difficulties of instilling critical thinking in high school students through Western philosophy and an exploration of possibilities for decolonizing Colombian high school curricula. Second, the teachers’ pedagogical pathways to overcoming difficulties in cultivating critical thinking among their students. Finally, the study reveals that an epistemological understanding of critical thinking, is only one kind of criticality needed by students: two more forms of critical thinking emerged from the interviews.

description: The count rate at dark-matter direct-detection experiments should modulate annually due to the motion of the Earth around the Sun. We show that higher-frequency modulations, including daily modulation, are also present and in some cases are nearly as strong as the annual modulation. These higher-order modes are particularly relevant if (i) the dark matter is light, O(10) GeV, (ii) the scattering is inelastic, or (iii) velocity substructure is present; for these cases, the higher-frequency modes are potentially observable at current and ton-scale detectors. We derive simple expressions for the harmonic modes as functions of the astrophysical and geophysical parameters describing the Earth's orbit, using an updated expression for the Earth's velocity that corrects a common error in the literature. For an isotropic halo velocity distribution, certain ratios of the modes are approximately constant as a function of nuclear recoil energy. Anisotropic distributions can also leave observable features in the harmonic spectrum. Consequently, the higher-order harmonic modes are a powerful tool for identifying a potential signal from interactions with the Galactic dark-matter halo.

Der dieser frühen Besiedlung zugrunde liegende Prozess kann bisher nur ansatzweise nachvollzogen werden. Zwei tiefe Gruben von der Fundstelle Campo, Église catholique (Südkamerun), werfen Licht auf diesen Prozess. Die Befunde, die vor allem Keramik enthielten, wurden 2007 ausgegraben. Sie enthielten zudem auch einige Schlacken, was die Eisenproduktion der damaligen Bevölkerung anzeigt. Vor allem die Keramik aus der älteren Grube CAM 07/11 belegt die starken Beziehungen der Fundstellen im südlichen Kamerun zu jenen im nördlichen Gabun im 1. Jtsd. v. Chr.
description: During the second half of the first millennium BC, the Central African rainforest was first settled by sedentary and potteryproducing people. The underlying settlement process is still not very well understood. Two pit features from the site of Campo, Église catholique (South Cameroon), throw some light on this process. The pits, which contained mostly ceramics, were excavated in 2007. They also yielded some iron slag, which indicate the production of iron by the people in question. Especially the ceramics of the older pit show a strong relationship between the sites in southern Cameroon and those in northern Gabon in the latter half of the first millennium BC.
Deep Dive on Checkers Endgame Data
Creators: Wang, Jiuqi
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

In this thesis, we investigate applying deep learning techniques to learn the win-loss-draw results contained in the databases of the checkers-playing program CHINOOK. Our initial objectives were to (1) compare a deep-learning-based compression scheme versus the custom algorithm used in CHINOOK, and to (2) extract human-understandable

features from the data. We have implemented the data processing pipeline, the neural network and its training loop, and an experimentation infrastructure. Our experiment results suggest that (1) training the neural network with a small random subset of the target database can achieve a high accuracy; (2) using the learned network with a naïve one-ply minimax search can further improve the robustness of the predictor most of the time; (3) transfer learning from one database to another one is feasible; (4) dynamically switching between the model and the one-ply search can give a better result than using either exclusively. We conclude that the neural network equipped with search does a decent job compressing the endgame databases, but the custom algorithm is hard to beat. Extracting features that are useful not only to the neural network but also to humans is a tricky task that requires more sophisticated and creative techniques. Our work is the first effort in this direction.

description: In the case involving particles the necessary and sufficient condition for the Penrose process to extract energy from a rotating black hole is absorption of particles with negative energies and angular momenta. No torque at the black-hole horizon occurs. In this article we consider the case of arbitrary fields or matter described by an unspecified, general energy-momentum tensor $T_{μν}$ and show that the necessary and sufficient condition for extraction of a black hole's rotational energy is analogous to that in the mechanical Penrose process: absorption of negative energy and negative angular momentum. We also show that a necessary condition for the Penrose process to occur is for the Noether current (the conserved energy-momentum density vector) to be spacelike or past directed (timelike or null) on some part of the horizon. In the particle case, our general criterion for the occurrence of a Penrose process reproduces the standard result. In the case of relativistic jet-producing "magnetically arrested disks" we show that the negative energy and angular-momentum absorption condition is obeyed when the Blandford-Znajek mechanism is at work, and hence the high energy extraction efficiency up to $\sim 300\%$ found in recent numerical simulations of such accretion flows results from tapping the black hole's rotational energy through the Penrose process. We show how black-hole rotational energy extraction works in this case by describing the Penrose process in terms of the Noether current.

Roles of PIKfyve in the Retina: A Zebrafish Study
Creators: Attia, Karen
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Phosphoinositides (PIs) are membrane lipids that function as signaling molecules. PIs

undergo phosphorylation and dephosphorylation at various positions to produce the seven known

PI molecules. PIKfyve is a phosphoinositide kinase that produces phosphoinositide-3,5-

bisphosphate (PI(3,5)P2) and phosphoinositide-5-phosphate (PI5P). PI(3,5)P2 and PI5P have a

low abundance in the cell and their roles are not fully characterized. Evidence suggests

involvement in melanosome biogenesis, phagocytosis, endosomal trafficking, lysosomal

homeostasis, and autophagy. In humans, mutations in PIKFYVE are rare and have been

associated with Corneal Fleck Dystrophy and congenital cataracts. Dr. Ian MacDonald at the

University of Alberta identified a patient with a novel heterozygous missense mutation in

PIKFYVE (c.5492A>G, p.(His1831Arg)). The patient does not present with corneal flecks nor

congenital cataracts, but rather exhibits a retinal dystrophy phenotype. Thus, phenotypes

associated with PIKFYVE mutations in humans are heterogeneous and present largely in the eye.

Little is known about PIKfyve in vivo due to the embryonic lethality of gene knockout in

common animal models. Here, I sought to characterize the roles of PIKfyve in vivo to elucidate

disease mechanism in the patient using zebrafish. I used CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis to introduce

loss of function mutations in pikfyve, and pharmacological inhibition to temporarily inhibit

Pikfyve. Moreover, I experimented with various precise gene editing technologies in zebrafish to

create a patient mimic mutant line. I found that Pikfyve inhibition/knockdown impaired retinal

electrical function, increased cell death, and introduced a variety of abnormalities to the retinal

pigment epithelium. Moreover, I determined that cytosine base editing is efficient in zebrafish

and established the technique in our lab.

Zur Entstehung und Entwicklung neolithischer Großbauten und erster komplexer Gesellschaften im nördlichen Mitteleuropa“ unter der Koordination von Johannes Müller und Friedrich Lüth im Rahmen eines durch die DFG geförderten Schwerpunktprogramms (SPP 1400) die Forschungsarbeit aufgenommen. Beteiligt sind 22 Universitätsinstitute, Forschungseinrichtungen und Denkmalämter in Deutschland.

description: In July 2009, a new research programme of the German research foundation was established, to investigate “Early Monumentality and Social Differentiation. On the origin and development of neolithic large-scale buildings and the emergence of early complex societies in Northern Central Europe”. Johannes Müller and Friedrich Lüth coordinate the programme. So far, 17 projects, with participants of 22 universities, research institutions and from institutes of the heritage management offices are integrated and working together in 17 single projects. The following article explains briefly the scientific and structural design of the program and then present two sub-projects with the participation of the author as an example of the project works. Particular attention is directed to the staffing and the support of young scientists in order to match the theme of the conference proceedings. The second part of this article is primarily a representation, less than an assessment of whether female or young scientists funding were successful or not. This would be more usefull only in comparison with other projects or at the end of the programme, when also the gender of all former applicants in relation to the graduates are to be considered. As an example, the integration of young scientist within the projects is illustrated to show the support of their careers.

We compare our results with those obtained from full atomistic simulations using the technique of thermodynamic integration and show a satisfactory agreement. In GC-AdResS the procedure to calculate $μ^{ex}$ corresponds to the process of standard initial equilibration of the system; this implies that, independently of the specific aim of the study, $μ^{ex}$, for each molecular species, is automatically calculated every time a GC-AdResS simulation is performed.

description: In der didaktischen Aufbereitung des Geschichtsunterrichtes eignet sich der Einsatz archäologischer Erzählungen in besonderer Weise, da diese, klug eingesetzt, ein Reflexionsangebot für die Schüler beinhalten. Die Darstellung und Konstruktion von Kindheiten in dieser Literatur ermöglicht den SchülerInnen einen Brückenschlag zur eigenen Lebenswirklichkeit. Im Bemühen um einen reflektierten Umgang und Einsatz archäologischer Erzählungen im Geschichtsunterricht der Grundschule liegt der Fokus dieses Aufsatzes deshalb auf der Analyse der Konstruktionen von Kindheiten in diesen Erzählungen. Sich den spezifischen Anforderungen dieser Erzählgattung stellend, bewegen sich die AutorInnen mit ihren Texten im Spannungsfeld zwischen wissenschaftlich fundierter Informationsweitergabe auf der einen und fiktiver Dichtung auf der anderen Seite. Die Darstellung von HandlungsträgerInnen und deren Rollenbildern ist demgemäß fiktiv, unterliegt aber gleichwohl im lebendigen Konstrukt der Vergangenheit dem Anspruch der Glaubwürdigkeit. Im Aufsatz wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Konstrukte von Kindheiten dieser Literatur zugrunde liegen. In welcher Weise finden gegenwärtige Kindheitsdiskurse in den literarischen Konstruktionen der Vergangenheit ihren Niederschlag? Was haben Kindheiten der Moderne und die in den Erzählungen projizierten Kindheiten der Vergangenheit gemeinsam – was unterscheidet sie? Welche Identifikationsfiguren werden den jungen LeserInnen angeboten?
description: Archaeological fictional narratives can offer a point of reflection for primary school pupils. The representation and construction of childhood in this type of literature offers pupils the possibility to connect archaeology with their own experiences. In the effort to propose a conscious and reflective use of archaeological fiction within primary school history lessons, this paper analyses the construction of childhood within these narratives. The authors need to take into account the specific requirements of this literary genre as well as reconcile the transmission of scientific knowledge with fictional prose. The representation of the protagonists and their role-models is thus fictional, but whilst vividly reconstructing the past, they have to remain believable. This paper therefore questions which constructs of childhood form the basis fort his type of literature? How is the current discourse of childhood reflected in the literary reconstructions? What connects modern childhood with the childhood projected into the past, and what differentiates the two? What role models are being offered to the young readers?

description: Die Wirkungen von instruktionalen Erklärungen (wie in Erklärvideos) und ihre Gelingensbedingungen wurden in der Lernpsychologie sehr differenziert beschrieben (Survey von Wittwer & Renkl, 2008). Während prozedurale Fertigkeiten gut in Erklärvideos eingeführt werden können, sind zum Aufbau von konzeptuellem Verständnis weitere Studien dazu notwendig, wie Erklärvideos tatsächlich wirksam auszugestalten sind. Eine wichtige Bedingung scheint zu sein, dass zunächst Vorwissen aktiviert wird bzw. eigenständige Erarbeitungsphasen dem Video vorausgehen und das Video erst in der Systematisierungsphase genutzt wird. Empirische Studien zeigen, dass Erklärvideos das Systematisieren konzeptuellen Wissens fördern können, z. B. indem sie anregen, vorhandenes Wissen anzureichern, Verstehenslücken zu schließen oder unpassende Vorstellungen zu revidieren (Survey von Wittwer & Renkl, 2008). Im Projekt MuM-Video untersuchen wir zudem, inwiefern Erklärvideos beim Systematisieren Sprachvorbilder bieten.

Non-linear fluctuations are a common feature of data extracted from plasma experiments

and are common in the edge regions of magnetically confined plasmas where

long filament-like structures of density and temperature can generate them. These

fluctuations are associated with turbulence and vortices leading to complex chaotic

transport in these regions. Hence, the analysis of these fluctuations are important

due to the applications of plasma confinement in research like nuclear fusion.

Non-linear time series are present in many fields of research such as atmospheric

sciences, neuroscience, finance, seismology and more. Hence, methods to understand

non-linear dynamics has been of utmost importance to researchers. One of the main

outcomes of non-linear time series analysis is to identify the nature of the time series

as periodic, chaotic or stochastic. There have been many methods developed to

perform this analysis from well established methods such as Lyapunov exponents to

newly developed methods such as multifractal analysis.

The following thesis explores three methods of non-linear time series analysis:

CH-Plane method, Hurst exponent and Lyapunov exponent. CH-Plane is a newly

developed method to identify whether a time series is based on underlying dynamics

of a deterministic or stochastic nature. Hurst exponent is a well known quantifier for

the memory of a system. Lyapunov exponent is the most commonly used quantifier

for the degree of chaotic nature in a system. These methods are used to analyze Ion

Saturation Current and Floating Voltage fluctuation data from a plasma experiment

focusing on cross-field transport fluctuations associated with temperature filaments

in cold plasma background. Through this, the thesis shows the breadth of non-linear

time series analysis methods available to researchers and their applications in plasma

research.

description: Im Projekt studiVEMINTvideos werden seit Oktober 2019 mathematische Lernvideos zur Unterstützung von Studierenden beim Übergang in die Hochschule erstellt. Diese ergänzen den vorhandenen E Learning-Kurs studiVEMINT (http://go.upb.de/studivemint), der für das selbstständige Wiederholen der Schulmathematik oder das neue Lernen schulmathematischer Inhalte, die nicht mehr oder nur randständig in der Schule behandelt werden, aber für den Start an der Hochschule wichtig sind, entwickelt wurde. Dabei geht es auch um Aufbereitung der Schulmathematik im Hinblick auf die Verwendung in der Hochschule, was etwas formalere Darstellungen und adäquatere Begründungen als in der Mathematik in der Schule beinhaltet. Der Kurs umfasst 13 Lerneinheiten mit für alle mathematikhaltigen Studiengänge relevanten Inhalten. studiVEMINTvideos ist ein Kooperationsprojekt der Universität Paderborn und der Technischen Hochschule Köln und wird bis September 2022 vom Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes NRW gefördert. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird exemplarisch anhand des Videotyps Begründungsvideo die Konzeption der Lernvideos genauer vorgestellt und an einem Beispiel illustriert.

description: Zeitknappheit und Themenvielfalt im Fach Geschichte führen dazu, dass die Archäologie häufig nur am Rand berücksichtigt wird. Folglich müssen andere Möglichkeiten in der Schulstruktur genutzt werden, um Räume für die Vermittlung der Inhalte und Belange der Ur- und Frühgeschichte zu schaffen. Für den Nachmittagsbereich wird deswegen ein altersdifferenziertes AG – Konzept einschließlich seiner Chancen und Probleme vorgestellt, das an der Ricarda-Huch Schule in Hannover angeboten wird. Des Weiteren skizziert der Beitrag, wie die Archäologie in den Vormittagsbereich, also den regulären Unterricht, integriert werden könnte. Die günstigsten Möglichkeiten dafür bieten die Wahlpflichtkurse der Mittelstufe und das Seminarfach der Oberstufe.
description: Due to a limited amount of time and a diversity of topics, History as a school subject mostly neglects the concerns of archaeology. That is why different slots within the school´s scheme of organisation need to be taken into consideration in order to create opportunities for conveying archaeological content and interest. Thus, this article introduces a concept of voluntary archaeological clubs for different age groups. Furthermore, suggestions for the integration of archaeology into the morning lessons are made by examining the potential of Wahlpflichtkurse for the Mittelstufe and the Seminarfach for the Oberstufe.

description: Kochen-Specker theorems assure the breakdown of certain types of non-contextual hidden variable theories through the non-existence of global, holistic frame functions; alas they do not allow us to identify where this breakdown occurs, nor the extent of it. It was recently shown [Phys. Rev. A 86, 062109 (2012)] that this breakdown does not occur everywhere; here we show that it is maximal in that it occurs almost everywhere, and thus prove that quantum indeterminacy--often referred to as contextuality or value indefiniteness--is a global property as is often assumed. In contrast to the Kochen-Specker theorem, we only assume the weaker non-contextuality condition that any potential value assignments that may exist are locally non-contextual. Under this assumption, we prove that once a single arbitrary observable is fixed to occur with certainty, almost (i.e. with Lebesgue measure one) all remaining observables are indeterminate.

description: In this work, we build a covariant basis for operators acting on the $(j,0)\oplus(0,j)$ Lorentz group representations. The construction is based on an analysis of the covariant properties of the parity operator, which for these representations transforms as the completely temporal component of a symmetrical tensor of rank $2j$. The covariant properties of parity involve the Jordan algebra of anti commutators of the Lorentz group generators which unlike the Lie algebra is not universal. We make the construction explicit for $j=1/2,1$ and $3/2$, reproducing well-known results for the $j=1/2$ case. We provide an algorithm for the corresponding calculations for arbitrary $j$. This covariant basis provides an inventory of all the possible interaction terms for gauge and non-gauge theories of fields for these representations. In particular, it supplies a single second rank antisymmetric structure, which in the Poincaré projector formalism implies a single Pauli term arising from gauge interactions and a single (free) parameter $g$, the gyromagnetic factor. This simple structure predicts that for an elementary particle in this formalism all multipole moments, $Q^{l}_{E}$ and $Q^{l}_{M}$, are dictated by the complete algebraic structure of the Lorentz generators and the value of $g$. We explicitly calculate the multipole moments, for arbitrary $j$ up to $l=8$. Comparing with results in the literature we find that only the electric charge and magnetic moment of a spin $j$ particle are independent of the Lorentz representation under which it transforms, all higher multipoles being representation dependent. Finally we show that the propagation of the corresponding spin $j$ waves in a electromagnetic background is causal.

Advanced Machine Learning-based Alarm Flood Monitoring Using Alarm Data
Creators: Alinezhad, Haniyeh Seyed
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library

Monitoring industrial processes is essential to maintain efficient and safe operation. An alarm system is an imperative component of industrial process monitoring, as it alerts operators to abnormal conditions. Alarms indicate when the process is disrupted, which allows operators to react accordingly. A modern industrial plant consisting of many interconnections is susceptible to fault propagation via information and material flow pathways. During fault propagation, a large number of alarms are triggered in control rooms, which results in a phenomenon known as alarm flood. As a result, operators are overwhelmed with a high volume of alarms and may miss out on safety and efficiency measures. It is therefore crucial to deal with the problem of alarm floods, particularly for online applications. The development of efficient online alarm flood analysis can provide operator decision support for root cause analysis of abnormal events and prevent the occurrence of destructive effects. The large amount of data generated by modern computerized processes has recently led to considerable interest in data-based methods. Developing data-driven methods in the field of machine learning can reduce reliance on expert knowledge and human effort in online alarm monitoring. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the development of machine learning-based methods for alarm management and alarm flood monitoring using alarm data.
