description: Topological multipole insulators are a class of higher order topological insulators (HOTI) in which robust fractional corner charges appear due to a quantized electric multipole moment of the bulk. This bulk-corner correspondence has been expressed in terms of a topological invariant computed using the eigenstates of the Wilson loop operator, a so called "nested Wilson loop" procedure. We show that, similar to the unitary Floquet operator describing periodically driven systems, the unitary Wilson loop operator can realize "anomalous" phases, that are topologically non-trivial despite having a trivial topological invariant. We introduce a concrete example of an anomalous HOTI, which has a quantized bulk quadrupole moment and fractional corner charges, but a vanishing nested Wilson loop index. A new invariant able to capture the topology of this phase is then constructed. Our work shows that anomalous topological phases, previously thought to be unique to periodically driven systems, can occur and be used to understand purely time-independent HOTIs.

description: We introduce ALPACA, a Lorentz invariant parton cascade encoding the AMY effective kinetic theory of QCD at high temperatures. It solves the Boltzmann equation by explicitly simulating the evolution of parton ensembles corresponding to single events. We discuss how the effective masses and temperature entering the elastic collision and splitting/merging rates can be estimated from just a single event. We perform an extensive validation of the framework by showing that it reproduces the expected behaviour in thermal equilibrium.

description: The chemical structure of neutral clouds in low metallicity environments is examined with particular emphasis on the H to H_2 and C+ to CO transitions. We observed near-IR H_2 lines and the CO J=1-0 line from 30 Doradus and N159/N160 in the Large Magellanic Cloud and from DEM S 16, DEM S 37, and LI-SMC 36 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. We find that the H_2 emission is UV-excited and that (weak) CO emission always exists (in our surveyed regions) toward positions where H_2 and [CII] emission have been detected. Using a PDR code and a radiative transfer code, we simulate the emission of line radiation from spherical clouds and from large planar clouds. Because the [CII] emission and H_2 emission arise on the surface of the cloud and the lines are optically thin, these lines are not affected by changes in the relative sizes of the neutral cloud and the CO bearing core, while the optically thick CO emission can be strongly affected. The sizes of clouds are estimated by measuring the deviation of CO emission strength from that predicted by a planar cloud model of a given size. The average cloud column density and therefore size increases as the metallicity decreases. Our result agrees with the photoionization regulated star formation theory by Mc Kee (1989).

description: This paper introduces transformer-based language models to the literature measuring corporate culture from text documents. We compile a unique data set of employee reviews that were labeled by human evaluators with respect to the information the reviews reveal about the firms' corporate culture. Using this data set, we fine-tune state-of-the-art transformer-based language models to perform the same classification task. In out-of-sample predictions, our language models classify 17 to 30 percentage points more of employee reviews in line with human evaluators than traditional approaches of text classification. We make our models publicly available.

description: Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and star-forming galaxies are leading candidates for being the luminous sources that reionized our Universe. Next-generation 21cm surveys are promising to break degeneracies between a broad range of reionization models, hence revealing the nature of the source population. While many current efforts are focused on a measurement of the 21cm power spectrum, some surveys will also image the 21cm field during reionization. This provides further information with which to determine the nature of reionizing sources. We create a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that is efficiently able to distinguish between 21cm maps that are produced by AGN versus galaxies scenarios with an accuracy of 92-100%, depending on redshift and neutral fraction range. An exception to this is when our Universe is highly ionized, since the source models give near-identical 21cm maps in that case. When adding thermal noise from typical 21cm experiments, the classification accuracy depends strongly on the effectiveness of foreground removal. Our results show that if foregrounds can be removed reasonably well, SKA, HERA and LOFAR should be able to discriminate between source models with greater accuracy at a fixed redshift. Only future SKA 21cm surveys are promising to break the degeneracies in the power spectral analysis.

description: The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) primordial B-modes signal is predicted to be much lower than the polarized Galactic emission (foregrounds) in any region of the sky pointing to the need for sophisticated component separation methods. Among them, the blind Needlet-ILC (NILC) has great relevance given our current poor knowledge of the B-modes foregrounds. However the expected level of spatial variability of the foreground spectral properties complicates the NILC subtraction of the Galactic contamination. In order to reach the ambitious targets of future CMB experiments, we therefore propose a novel extension of the NILC approach, the Multi-Clustering NILC (MC-NILC), which performs NILC variance minimization on separate regions of the sky (clusters) properly chosen to have similar spectral properties of the B-modes foregrounds emission. Clusters are identified thresholding the ratio of B-modes maps at two separate frequencies which is used as tracer of the spatial distribution of the spectral indices of the Galactic emission in B modes. We consider ratios either of simulated foregrounds-only B modes (ideal case) or of cleaned templates of Galactic emission obtained from realistic simulations. In this work we present an application of MC-NILC to the future LiteBIRD satellite, which targets the observation of both reionization and recombination peaks of the primordial B-modes angular power spectrum with a total error on the tensor-to-scalar ratio $δr < 0.001$. We show that MC-NILC provides a CMB solution with residual foregrounds and noise contamination that is significantly reduced with respect to NILC and lower than the primordial signal targeted by LiteBIRD at all angular scales for the ideal case and at the reionization peak for a realistic ratio. Thus, MC-NILC will represent a powerful method to mitigate B-modes foregrounds for future CMB polarization experiments.

Phase structure of CP(N-1) model with topological term

description: CP(N-1) model with topological term is numerically studied. The topological charge distribution P(Q) is calculated and then transformed to the partition function Z($θ$) as a function of $θ$ parameter. In the strong coupling region, P(Q) shows a gaussian behavior, which indicates a first order phase transition at $θ=π$. In the weak coupling region, P(Q) deviates from gaussian. A bending behavior of resulting F($θ$) at $θ\neq π$, which might be a signal of a first order phase transition, could be misled by large errors coming from the fourier transform of P(Q). Results are shown mainly for CP(3) case.

description: Stress relaxation following deformation of an entangled polymeric liquid is thought to be affected by transient reforming of chain entanglements. In this work, we use single molecule techniques to study the relaxation of individual polymers in the transition regime from unentangled to entangled solutions. Our results reveal the emergence of dynamic heterogeneity underlying polymer relaxation behavior, including distinct molecular sub-populations described by a single-mode and a double-mode exponential relaxation process. The slower double-mode timescale $τ_{d,2}$ is consistent with a characteristic reptation time, whereas the single-mode timescale $τ_s$ and the fast double-mode timescale $τ_{d,1}$ are attributed to local regions of transient disentanglement due to deformation.

subject: Primary health care

description: Purpose: We aimed to test the effects of providing municipal support and training to primary health care providers compared to both training alone and to care as usual on the proportion of adult patients having their alcohol consumption measured.
Methods: We undertook a quasi-experimental study reporting on a five-month implementation period in 58 primary health care units from municipal areas within Bogotá (Colombia), Mexico City (Mexico) and Lima (Peru). Within the municipal areas, units were randomized to four arms: (1) care as usual (control); (2) training alone; (3) training and municipal support using a less intensive clinical and training package; and, (4) training and municipal support using a more intense clinical and training package. The primary outcome was the cumulative proportion of consulting adult patients out of the population registered within the unit whose alcohol consumption was measured
(coverage).
Results: The combination of municipal support and training did not result in higher coverage than training alone (negative binomial regression coefficient =-0.12, 95% CI= -0.67 to 0.44). Training alone resulted in higher coverage than no training (coefficient =2.28, 95% CI= 1.32 to 3.24). Coverage did not differ by intensity of the clinical and training package (coefficient = -0.2, 95% CI -0.9 to 0.4).
Conclusions: Training of providers is key to increasing coverage of alcohol measurement amongst primary health care patients. Although municipal support provided no added value, it is too early to conclude this finding since full implementation was shortened due to COVID-19 restrictions.

description: We develop a new method StarGO (Stars' Galactic Origin) to identify the galactic origins of halo stars using their kinematics. Our method is based on self-organizing map (SOM), which is one of the most popular unsupervised learning algorithms. StarGO combines SOM with a novel adaptive group identification algorithm with essentially no free parameters. In order to evaluate our model, we build a synthetic stellar halo from mergers of nine satellites in the Milky Way. We construct the mock catalogue by extracting a heliocentric volume of 10 kpc from our simulations and assigning expected observational uncertainties corresponding to bright stars from Gaia DR2 and LAMOST DR5. We compare the results from StarGO against that from a Friends-of-Friends (FoF) based method in the space of orbital energy and angular momentum. We show that StarGO is able to systematically identify more satellites and achieve higher number fraction of identified stars for most of the satellites within the extracted volume. When applied to data from Gaia DR2, StarGO will enable us to reveal the origins of the inner stellar halo in unprecedented detail.

Migration as resilience : multi-scalar GIS investigations of Levantine climate migration from the 13th-10th centuries BCE
Creators: name: Armstrong, Caroline
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The Levantine Late Bronze Age (1600-1100 BCE) ended in what scholars have deemed a perfect storm of cataclysmic factors such as warfare, famine, earthquakes, invasion, and climate change. This thesis focuses on the latter, specifically how non-anthropogenic climate change influenced human movement and adaptive strategies. Paleoenvironmental data indicate regional variations of aridity between the 13th and 10th centuries BCE in the Levant. However, despite renewed interest in migration studies in archaeology, little attention has been given to how shifting aridity coincides with the abandonment or continuation of LBA sites into the Early Iron Age (EIA). Moreover, dominant narratives of mass “Sea People” migrations have framed most regional migration as disruptive and destructive. This thesis argues that reframing Levantine migration as a form of resilience rather than a product of crisis allows climate migration to be conceptualized as a process instead of a singular event. This argument is demonstrated through a multi-scalar analysis, including GIS mapping of LBA and EIA settlements, shifting rainfall parameters, and two case studies of regional variations in resilience. This thesis’s exploration of migratory responses to LBA climate change relies on the assumption that despite other push factors compelling migration, access to reliable water determined survival. Archaeological evidence of water storage and management serves as a proxy for understanding the complexity of how climate influenced human movement. I compare migration patterns between two coastal settlements (Tell Tweini and Tell Sukas) and two inland sites (Tell Tayinat and Tell Atchana) in the Northern Levant, with abrupt migration to the Negev Highlands in the Southern Levant. In doing so, I explore how other “collapse” factors intersected with climatic change to cause unique migration situations. Ultimately, these case studies suggest that movement, technological innovation, or a combination of both enabled Levantine migrants to achieve water security, shaped by the duration and magnitude of climate change.
Determination of CKM phases through rigid polygons of flavor SU(3) amplitudes

description: Some new methods for the extraction of CKM phases $α$ and $γ$ using flavor SU(3) symmetry have been suggested through the construction of rigid polygons in the complex plane with sides equal to the decay amplitudes of B mesons into two mesons belonging to the light (charmless) pseudoscalar octet. These rigid polygons incorporate all the possible amplitude triangles and, being overdetermined, also serve as consistency checks and in estimating the rates of some decay modes. The same techniques also lead to numerous useful amplitude triangles when octet-singlet mixing has been taken into account and nearly physical $η,η'$ are used.

With a focus on the Tanzanian Rift Valley Area (largely as conceived by Kießling, Mous, and Nurse 2008), this talk examines how language documentation in Africa 1) is strongest when it takes into account the performativeness at the core of communicative practices; 2) has met with general failure when serving agendas of text-based maintenance and revitalization; and 3) shows great promise when it seeks to work within and strengthen traditions of orality (c.f. Ameka 2015).

description: The nonlocal correlations of noisy quantum systems are important for both understanding nature and developing quantum technology. We consider the correlations of star and chain quantum networks where noisy entanglement sources are measured by nonsignaling parties. When pairs of local dichotomic observables are considered on qubit systems, we derive maximal n-local violations that are larger and more robust to noise than the maximal n-local violations reported previously. To obtain these larger values, we consider observables overlooked in the previous studies. Thus, we gain new insights into self-testing measurements and entanglement sources in star and chain networks.

description: We analyse a supersymmetric string-inspired model of all fermion masses and mixing angles based on the Pati-Salam $SU(4)\times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ gauge group supplemented by a $U(1)_X$ flavour symmetry. The model involves third family Yukawa unification and predicts the top mass and the ratio of the vacuum expectation values $\tan β$. The model also provides a successful description of the CKM matrix and predicts the masses of the down and strange quarks. However our main focus is on the neutrino masses and MNS mixing angles, and we show how the recent atmospheric neutrino mixing observed by Super-Kamiokande, and the MSW solution to the solar neutrino problem lead to important information about the flavour structure of the model near the string scale. We show how single right-handed neutrino dominance may be implemented by the use of ``Clebsch zeros'', leading to the LMA MSW solution, corresponding to bi-maximal mixing. The LOW MSW and SMA MSW solutions are also discussed.

Universal Scaling of Polygonal Desiccation Crack Patterns

description: Polygonal desiccation crack patterns are commonly observed in natural systems. Despite their quotidian nature, it is unclear whether similar crack patterns which span orders of magnitude in length scales share the same underlying physics. In thin films, the characteristic length of polygonal cracks is known to monotonically increase with the film thickness, however, existing theories that consider the mechanical, thermodynamic, hydrodynamic, and statistical properties of cracking often lead to contradictory predictions. Here we experimentally investigate polygonal cracks in drying suspensions of micron-sized particles by varying film thickness, boundary adhesion, packing fraction, and solvent. Although polygonal cracks were observed in most systems above a critical film thickness, in cornstarch-water mixtures, multi-scale crack patterns were observed due to two distinct desiccation mechanisms. Large-scale, primary polygons initially form due to capillary-induced film shrinkage, whereas small-scale, secondary polygons appear later due to the deswelling of the hygroscopic particles. In addition, we find that the characteristic area of the polygonal cracks, $A_p$, obeys a universal power law, $A_p=αh^{4/3}$, where $h$ is the film thickness. By quantitatively linking $α$ with the material properties during crack formation, we provide a robust framework for understanding multi-scale polygonal crack patterns from microscopic to geologic scales.

description: Conventional cameras capture image irradiance on a sensor and convert it to RGB images using an image signal processor (ISP). The images can then be used for photography or visual computing tasks in a variety of applications, such as public safety surveillance and autonomous driving. One can argue that since RAW images contain all the captured information, the conversion of RAW to RGB using an ISP is not necessary for visual computing. In this paper, we propose a novel $ρ$-Vision framework to perform high-level semantic understanding and low-level compression using RAW images without the ISP subsystem used for decades. Considering the scarcity of available RAW image datasets, we first develop an unpaired CycleR2R network based on unsupervised CycleGAN to train modular unrolled ISP and inverse ISP (invISP) models using unpaired RAW and RGB images. We can then flexibly generate simulated RAW images (simRAW) using any existing RGB image dataset and finetune different models originally trained for the RGB domain to process real-world camera RAW images. We demonstrate object detection and image compression capabilities in RAW-domain using RAW-domain YOLOv3 and RAW image compressor (RIC) on snapshots from various cameras. Quantitative results reveal that RAW-domain task inference provides better detection accuracy and compression compared to RGB-domain processing. Furthermore, the proposed \r{ho}-Vision generalizes across various camera sensors and different task-specific models. Additional advantages of the proposed $ρ$-Vision that eliminates the ISP are the potential reductions in computations and processing times.

description: Globally hyperbolic spacetimes with timelike boundary $(\overline{M} = M \cup \partial M, g)$ are the natural class of spacetimes where regular boundary conditions (eventually asymptotic, if $\overline{M}$ is obtained by means of a conformal embedding) can be posed. $\partial M$ represents the naked singularities and can be identified with a part of the intrinsic causal boundary. Apart from general properties of $\partial M$, the splitting of any globally hyperbolic $(\overline{M},g)$ as an orthogonal product ${\mathbb R}\times \barΣ$ with Cauchy slices with boundary $\{t\}\times \barΣ$ is proved. This is obtained by constructing a Cauchy temporal function $τ$ with gradient $\nabla τ$ tangent to $\partial M$ on the boundary. To construct such a $τ$, results on stability of both, global hyperbolicity and Cauchy temporal functions are obtained. Apart from having their own interest, these results allow us to circumvent technical difficulties introduced by $\partial M$. As a consequence, the interior $M$ both, splits orthogonally and can be embedded isometrically in ${\mathbb L}^N$, extending so properties of globally spacetimes without boundary to a class of causally continuous ones.

description: The Sorkin-Johnston (SJ) state is a candidate physical vacuum state for a scalar field in a generic curved spacetime. It has the attractive feature that it is covariantly and uniquely defined in any globally hyperbolic spacetime, often reflecting the underlying symmetries if there are any. A potential drawback of the SJ state is that it does not always satisfy the Hadamard condition. In this work, we study the extent to which the SJ state in a $1+1$D causal diamond is Hadamard, finding that it is not Hadamard at the boundary. We then study the softened SJ state, which is a slight modification of the original state to make it Hadamard. We use the softened SJ state to investigate whether some peculiar features of entanglement entropy in causal set theory may be linked to its non-Hadamard nature.

Year: 2025

description: In this thesis, we focus on developing and implementing algorithms to find integral points on elliptic curves and generating useful data, based on Mordell's correspondence between integral points on elliptic curves and binary quartic forms, and existing algorithms to solve Thue equations arising from this algorithm. We then generate data of integral points for all elliptic curves up to some height, and summarize the average number of integral points and curves with many integral points or large integral points.

description: This is a collection of notes that are about spectral form factors of standard ensembles in the random matrix theory, written for the practical usage of current study of late time quantum chaos. More precisely, we consider Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE), Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE), Gaussian Symplectic Ensemble (GSE), Wishart-Laguerre Unitary Ensemble (LUE), Wishart-Laguerre Orthogonal Ensemble (LOE), and Wishart-Laguerre Symplectic Ensemble (LSE). These results and their physics applications cover a three-fold classification of late time quantum chaos in terms of spectral form factors.

Soft Supersymmetry Breaking in Deformed Moduli Spaces, Conformal Theories, and N = 2 Yang-Mills Theory

description: We give a self-contained discussion of recent progress in computing the non-perturbative effects of small non-holomorphic soft supersymmetry breaking, including a simple new derivation of these results based on an anomaly-free gauged U(1)_R background. We apply these results to N = 1 theories with deformed moduli spaces and conformal fixed points. In an SU(2) theory with a deformed moduli space, we completely determine the vacuum expectation values and induced soft masses. We then consider the most general soft breaking of supersymmetry in N = 2 SU(2) super-Yang-Mills theory. An N = 2 superfield spurion analysis is used to give an elementary derivation of the relation between the modulus and the prepotential in the effective theory. This analysis also allows us to determine the non-perturbative effects of all soft terms except a non-holomorphic scalar mass, away from the monopole points. We then use an N = 1 spurion analysis to determine the effects of the most general soft breaking, and also analyze the monopole points. We show that naive dimensional analysis works perfectly. Also, a soft mass for the scalar in this theory forces the theory into a free Coulomb phase.

description: The increasing demand on precision and throughput within high-precision mechatronics industries requires a new generation of feedforward controllers with higher accuracy than existing, physics-based feedforward controllers. As neural networks are universal approximators, they can in principle yield feedforward controllers with a higher accuracy, but suffer from bad extrapolation outside the training data set, which makes them unsafe for implementation in industry. Motivated by this, we develop a novel physics-guided neural network (PGNN) architecture that structurally merges a physics-based layer and a black-box neural layer in a single model. The parameters of the two layers are simultaneously identified, while a novel regularization cost function is used to prevent competition among layers and to preserve consistency of the physics-based parameters. Moreover, in order to ensure stability of PGNN feedforward controllers, we develop sufficient conditions for analyzing or imposing (during training) input-to-state stability of PGNNs, based on novel, less conservative Lipschitz bounds for neural networks. The developed PGNN feedforward control framework is validated on a real-life, high-precision industrial linear motor used in lithography machines, where it reaches a factor 2 improvement with respect to physics-based mass-friction feedforward and it significantly outperforms alternative neural network based feedforward controllers.

description: In practice of acoustic tomography, for example, in medical applications and ocean tomography, the relative deviation of sound speed from its background value usually does not exceed 10-30%. At the same time, in electromagnetic applications, the equivalent contrasts can be noticeably higher than 60%. Since the inverse electromagnetic problem can be reduced in some approximation to Helmholtz equation, a formal comparison of reconstruction results obtained for different "acoustic" contrast and corresponding "dielectric" contrast is possible. In this work examples of such reconstructions are presented, which were obtained by using the functional-analytical algorithm described in works of R.G. Novikov. Previously, the advantages of this algorithm for solving practical problems of acoustic tomography were demonstrated. Results obtained in the present work show that functional-analytical algorithm can also be applied to reconstructing inhomogeneities with high "dielectric" contrast. Moreover, the functional algorithm also perfectly reconstructs very small "dielectric" contrast, recovering of which can be difficult for other approaches due to weak backscattering.

Can alcohol consumption in Germany be reduced by alcohol screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment in primary health care? Results of a simulation study

description: Background:Screening, brief intervention and referral
to treatment (SBIRT) is a programme to reduce alcohol consumption for drinkers
with high alcohol consumption levels. Only 2.9% of patients in primary health
care (PHC) are screened for their alcohol use in Germany, despite high levels
of alcohol consumption and attributable harm. We developed an open-access simulation
model to estimate the impact of higher SBIRT delivery rates in German PHC
settings on population-level alcohol consumption.Methods and findings: A hypothetical population of drinkers and
non-drinkers was simulated by sex, age, and educational status for the year
2009 based on survey and sales data. Risky drinking persons receiving BI or RT
were sampled from this population based on screening coverage and other
parameters. Running the simulation model for a ten-year period, drinking levels
and heavy episodic drinking (HED) status were changed based on effect sizes
from meta-analyses.
In the baseline scenario of 2.9% screening
coverage, 2.4% of the adult German population received a subsequent
intervention between 2009 and 2018. If every second PHC patient would have been
screened for alcohol use, 21% of adult residents in Germany would have received
BI or RT by the end of the ten-year simulation period. In this scenario,
population-level alcohol consumption would be 12% lower than it was in 2018, without any
impact on HED prevalence. Screening coverage rates below 10% were not found to
have a measurable effect on drinking levels.
Discussion: Large-scale implementation of SBIRT in PHC
settings can yield substantial reductions of alcohol consumption in Germany. As
high screening coverage rates may only be achievable in the long run, other effective
alcohol policies are required to achieve short-term reduction of alcohol use
and attributable harm in Germany. There is large potential to apply this
open-access simulation model to other settings and for other alcohol
interventions.

description: Several decades of debate have centered around the nature of the enigmatic pseudo-gap state in high temperature superconducting copper oxides. Recently, we reported polarized neutron diffraction measurements that suggested the existence of a magnetic texture bound to the pseudo-gap phase [Bounoua, {\it et al}. Communications Physics 5, 268 (2022)]. Such a magnetic texture is likely to involve the spontaneous appearance of loop currents within the CuO$_2$ unit cells, which give birth to complex correlated patterns. In the underdoped ${\rm YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6.6}}$, the magnetic structure factor of such an orbital magnetic texture gives rise to two distinct magnetic responses at {\bf q}=0 and {\bf q}=1/2. As this pattern alters the lattice translation invariance, such a state of matter could contribute to an instability of the Fermi surface. Here, we report polarized neutron scattering measurements on a nearly optimally doped high quality single crystal of ${\rm YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6.9}}$ that exhibits the same {\bf q}=1/2 magnetism and a weakly overdoped ${\rm YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7}}$ sample where this signal is no longer sizeable. The in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic neutron scattering intensities in ${\rm YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6.9}}$ (at {\bf q}=1/2) and ${\rm YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6.85}}$ (at {\bf q}=0), reported previously, display the same temperature dependent hallmarks. The magnitudes of both {\bf q}=0 and {\bf q}=1/2 magnetic signals further exhibit the same trends upon doping in ${\rm YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6+x}}$, confirming that they are likely intertwined.
