description: This paper explores the methodologies, challenges, and expected advantages related to the use of the information-centric network (ICN) technology for federating spatial databases. ICN services allow simplifying the design of federation procedures, improving their performance, and providing so-called data-centric security. In this work, we present an architecture that is able to federate spatial databases and evaluate its performance using a real data set coming from OpenStreetMap within a heterogeneous federation formed by MongoDB and CouchBase spatial database systems.

description: By virtue of its long-running success, and the many contributed technical papers, the proceedings of the Tailings & Mine Waste and predecessor conferences present a good opportunity to review and consider the progress that has been made in the design, operation, and closure of tailings facilities world-wide. This paper explores thirty and more years of tailings facility design, operation, and closure by way of a survey of some of the best and some of the seminal technical papers that have been published in the proceedings of the conferences on Uranium Mill Tailings and Tailings & Mine Waste. The story told in this paper is of the movement from simple upstream hydraulic fill, through larger and higher earth and rock embankments, to thickened and polymeramended tailings. The story told is one of advancing from an emphasis on operation to a modern mind-set of design and operate for closure to integrate closed facilities into a final stable landscape.[All papers were considered for technical and language appropriateness by the organizing committee.]
Is Holography Implicit in Canonical Gravity?

description: We conjecture that, in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space, two solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation that coincide asymptotically must also coincide in the bulk. This suggests that the essential elements of holography are already present in canonical gravity. Our argument sheds light on why holography works only in gravitational theories, and also on the significance of anti-de Sitter boundary conditions.

description: The neonatal subventricular zone (SVZ) is a site of continued postnatal neurogenesis, and is the source of cortical glial cells. Apoptosis is an endogenous process of cell destruction, and is a key event in the proper development of the SVZ. Despite its importance, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the temporal and spatial occurrence of neonatal SVZ apoptosis, cell types affected and the underlying intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms that guide the process. This thesis addresses these issues, and in addition, finds a nontraditional mode of neurotrophic action for cell survival in the neonatal SVZ. We assessed SVZ apoptosis by subregion, employing the cell death markers, pH2ax and cleaved caspase 3. The medial SVZ contained the highest density of dying cells at p0, while at p7 there was no significant difference in the apoptotic cell density distribution in the SVZ subregions. Combining cell type specific markers with the death markers used, revealed immature postmitotic neurons were the primary cell type cleared in the p0 medial SVZ. The majority of dying cells in the p7 dorsolateral SVZ (SVZdl) were unable to be identified. Using stereotactic injection of a GFP expressing lentivirus, we determined the p0 medial SVZ cell population to be migratory cells bound for the olfactory bulb. An investigation into the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms mediating cell death in the neonatal SVZ, showed BH3-only protein Bim expression in the p0 and p7 SVZ, as well as significantly decreased p0 medial SVZ apoptosis in Bim knockout mice. Bim knockout mice did not show a significant change in apoptosis in the p7 SVZdl. TrkB knockout mice have shown a survival role for the receptor in the lateral ganglionic eminence of the neonatal SVZ. To test this in the p0 medial SVZ using a more specific method, a TrkB blocking antibody was injected into the p0 medial SVZ. This resulted in a significantly higher number of apoptotic cells in the p1 medial SVZ versus controls. These studies demonstrate the dynamic nature of the SVZ with its changing density and identity of apoptotic cells within the subregions. It has also shown the influence of Bim and TrkB signaling in neonatal SVZ apoptosis and survival. Finally, it has identified a premigratory cell population in the p0 medial SVZ, whose survival is mediated by neurotrophin signaling at their site of origin.

description: Faddeev and Jackiw's method for constrained systems is used to derive a gauge invariant formulation of cosmological perturbations in the one bubble inflationary universe. For scalar perturbations in a flat universe, reduction of the action to the one with a single physical degree of freedom has been derived in the literature. A straightforward generalization of it to the case of an open universe is possible but it is not adequate for quantizing perturbations in the one bubble universe, because of the lack of Cauchy surfaces inside the bubble. Therefore we perform the reduction of the action outside the lightcone emanating from the center of the bubble or nucleation event, where the natural time constant hypersurfaces are no longer homogeneous and isotropic and as a result the conventional classification of perturbations in terms of scalar and tensor modes is not possible. Nevertheless, after reduction of the action we find three decoupled actions for three independent degrees of freedom, one of which corresponds to the scalar mode and the other two to the tensor modes. Implications for the one bubble open inflationary models are briefly discussed. As an application of our formalism, the spectrum of long wavelength gravity waves is simply obtained in terms of the real part of the reflection amplitude for a one dimensional scattering problem, where the potential barrier is given in terms of the bubble profile.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The Mt. Milligan Project is a recently permitted large tonnage open pit mine in British Columbia currently under construction. Permit approvals were achieved by integrating the complete mine life cycle into the mine waste planning and design process. Knight Piésold (KP), in close collaboration with Terrane Metals Corp. (Terrane), developed a long-term, scientifically sound and sustainable design for an integrated tailings, overburden, mine waste rock and water management facility. Challenges in developing this state-of-the-art facility were numerous and included specific design measures to meet site specific environmental, geological, geotechnical and hydrogeological conditions, as well as geographic and economic factors. The storage of waste within the Tailing Storage Facility (TSF) has many advantages, including reduced environmental impacts, a reduced mine footprint, and economic savings while still ensuring secure and permanent engineered containment of mine waste solids during and after operations. The closure and reclamation initiatives will eventually return the TSF site to a self-sustaining facility with pre-mining usage and capability.

description: The characterization of free women of color living in New Orleans as women who relied on their sensuality to gain a foothold in society have been perpetrated since at least the 1810s and is repeated still, even as efforts to bring to light untold stories, particularly about women and people of color, have been gaining momentum in America’s social and political consciousness. Through the identification of four extant buildings in the Vieux Carré Historic District owned by free women of color between the acquisition of New Orleans as a Spanish colony until Louisiana’s admission to the Confederacy and a recommendation for physical permanent recognition of these sites, the underrepresented histories of this group who were and are intrinsic to New Orleans society will join the preservation discourse locally and on a larger scale. This thesis demonstrates a more accurate history of free women of color as integral members of the community, business proprietors, and property owners by identifying and physically recognizing vernacular buildings owned by free women of color between 1763 and 1861 in the Vieux Carré Historic District, and seeks to dismantle the misogynistic and racist myths surrounding free women of color by integrating sites they owned with the preservation narrative.

General Cosmography Model with Spatial Curvature

description: The cosmographic approach is adopted to determine the spatial curvature (i.e., $Ω_K$) combining the latest released cosmic chronometers data (CC), the Pantheon sample of type Ia supernovae observations, and the baryon acoustic oscillation measurements. We use the expanded transverse comoving distance $D_M(z)$ as a basic function for deriving $H(z)$ and the other cosmic distances. In this scenario, $Ω_K$ can be constrained only by CC data. To overcome the convergence issues at high-redshift domains, two methods are applied: the Padé approximants and the Taylor series in terms of the new redshift $y=z/(1+z)$. Adopting the Bayesian evidence, we find that there is positive evidence for the Padé approximant up to order ($2,2$) and weak evidence for the Taylor series up to 3-rd order against $Λ\text{CDM}+Ω_K$ model. The constraint results show that a closed universe is preferred by the present observations under all the approximants used in this study. And the tension level of the Hubble constant $H_0$ is less than $2σ$ significance between different approximants and the local distance ladder determination. For each assumed approximant, $H_0$ is anti-correlated with $Ω_K$ and the sound horizon at the end of the radiation drag epoch, which indicates that the $H_0$ tension problem can be slightly relaxed by introducing $Ω_K$ or any new physics which can reduce the sound horizon in the early universe.

description: Pattern formation during development is guided by tightly controlled gene regulatory networks that lead to reproducible cell fate outcomes. However, stochastic choices are often employed to further diversify cell fates. These two mechanisms are closely interlinked in the mouse olfactory system, where stochastic expression of one of one out of >1,000 olfactory receptor (OR) genes is restricted to anatomical segments, or “zones”, organized along the dorsoventral axis of the olfactory epithelium (OE). Despite recent progress in understanding the processes underlying OR choice, the mechanism by which the dorsoventral position of an olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) dictates its OR repertoire has remained elusive and is the focus of this thesis. To gain insight into a possible mechanism I compared the transcriptomes, chromatin landscape, and nuclear architecture of cells isolated from ventral and dorsal zonal segments of the OE. I determined the developmental window in which cells become restricted in their zonal OR repertoire and found this coincided with both the deposition of heterochromatic histone marks H3K9me3 and H3K79me3 on OR genes and their coalescence into a multi-chromosomal compartment. Comparing heterochromatin levels and OR compartment composition in OSNs from different zones, I determined in each case OR genes with more dorsal indexes have higher levels of H3K9me3/H3K79me3 and thus become silenced, while OR genes with more ventral indexes have no heterochromatin and consequently are excluded from OR compartments. Thus, ORs that are “competent” for activation are relatively more accessible, while still being recruited into the OR compartment where they can interact with the proximally positioned enhancer hub. I found that this mechanism is regulated by Nfi family transcription factors that are expressed in a ventral (high) to dorsal (low) gradient in the OE. Deletion of Nfi A, B and X transforms the heterochromatin and OR compartmentalization in ventral OSNs to a more dorsal state, and shifts their preferred OR repertoire towards more dorsal ORs. This result implicates Nfi proteins as key regulators of zonal OR expression. Finally, I probed the nuclear architecture in single cells to look for the source of stochastic choice within zonal segments. I found high variability in inter-chromosomal OR compartment and enhancer hub composition between individual OSNs that stemmed from the unpredictable and variable positioning of chromosomes in the interphase nucleus. Overall, this thesis provides evidence for a mechanism of zonal OR choice that combines deterministic restrictions imposed by a gradient of Nfi with random inter-chromosomal contacts.

description: Maximum likelihood estimators are used extensively to estimate unknown parameters of stochastic trait evolution models on phylogenetic trees. Although the MLE has been proven to converge to the true value in the independent-sample case, we cannot appeal to this result because trait values of different species are correlated due to shared evolutionary history. In this paper, we consider a $2$-state symmetric model for a single binary trait and investigate the theoretical properties of the MLE for the transition rate in the large-tree limit. Here, the large-tree limit is a theoretical scenario where the number of taxa increases to infinity and we can observe the trait values for all species. Specifically, we prove that the MLE converges to the true value under some regularity conditions. These conditions ensure that the tree shape is not too irregular, and holds for many practical scenarios such as trees with bounded edges, trees generated from the Yule (pure birth) process, and trees generated from the coalescent point process. Our result also provides an upper bound for the distance between the MLE and the true value.
A gauge model with spinor group for a description of local interaction of a fermion with electromagnetic and gravitational fields

description: We suggest model equations, which, from some point of view, describe local interaction of three physical fields: a field of matter, an electromagnetic field and a gravitational field. A base of the model is a field of matter described by the wave function of fermion satisfying the equation similar to Dirac equation for electron. Electromagnetic and gravitational fields appear as the gauge fields for this equation. We have found the connection between these fields and the curvature tensor of Riemannian manifold. We present a main Lagrangian from which the equations of the model are deduced. The covariance of the model equations under changes of coordinates is considered. We develop mathematical techniques needed for the model connected with an exterior algebra of Euclidean or Riemannian space. The exterior algebra is considered as a bialgebra with two operations of multiplications -- an exterior multiplication and Clifford multiplication. We define a structure of Euclidean or Riemannian space on the exterior algebra, which leads to the notions of Spin-isometric change of coordinates and Spin-isometric manifold used in the model.In the revised paper we correct an error with the formula $G_{ij}=-U^{-1}D_{ij}U/2$, (now U=1).

description: Despite their factor of ~10^8 difference in black hole mass, several lines of evidence suggest possible similarities between black hole accretion flows in active galactic nuclei (AGN) and Galactic X-ray binaries. However, it is still unclear whether the geometry of the disk-corona system in X-ray binaries directly scale up to AGN, and whether this analogy still holds in different accretion states. We test this AGN/X-ray binary analogy, by comparing the observed correlations between the UV-to-X-ray spectral index (alpha_OX) and Eddington ratio in AGN to those predicted from observations of X-ray binary outbursts. This approach probes the geometry of their disk-corona systems as they transition between different accretion states. We use new Chandra X-ray and ground-based rest-UV observations of faded 'changing-look' quasars to extend this comparison to lower Eddington ratios of <10^-2, where observations of X-ray binaries predict a softening of alpha_OX in AGN. We find that the observed correlations between alpha_OX and Eddington ratio of AGN displays a remarkable similarity to accretion state transitions in prototypical X-ray binary outbursts, including an inversion of this correlation at a critical Eddington ratio of ~10^-2. Our results suggest that the structures of black hole accretion flows directly scale across a factor of ~10^8 in black hole mass and across different accretion states, enabling us to apply theoretical models of X-ray binaries to explain AGN phenomenology.

description: We consider various methods of flow analysis in heavy ion collisions and compare experimental data on corresponding observables to the predictions of our saturation model proposed earlier. We demonstrate that, due to the nature of the standard flow analysis, azimuthal distribution of particles with respect to reaction plane determined from the second order harmonics should always be proportional to $\cos 2(ϕ-Ψ_R)$ independent of the physical origin of particle correlations (flow or non-flow). The amplitude of this distribution is always physical and proportional to $v_2$. Two-particle correlations analysis is therefore a more reliable way of extracting the shape of physical azimuthal anisotropy. We demonstrate that two-particle correlation functions generated in our minijet model of particle production are in good agreement with the data reported by PHENIX. We discuss the role of non-flow correlations in the cumulant flow analysis and demonstrate using a simple example that if the flow is weak, higher order cumulants analysis does not significantly reduce the contribution of non-flow correlations to elliptic flow observable $v_2$ in RHIC data.

description: Free fall experiments are discussed by using test masses associated to quantum states not necessarily possessing a classical counterpart. The times of flight of the Galileian experiments using classical test masses are replaced in the quantum case by probability distributions which, although still not defined in an uncontroversial manner, become manifestly dependent upon the mass and the initial state. Such a dependence is also expected in non inertial frames of reference if the weak equivalence principle still holds. This last could be tested, merging recent achievements in mesoscopic physics, by using cooled atoms in free fall and accelerated frames initially prepared in nonclassical quantum states.

description: The objective of this study was to characterize the weathering behavior of select samples from the non acid producing waste rock materials at the Antamina mine using field cell tests and laboratory scale sequential extraction tests. Field cell results have indicated the release of metals, particularly arsenic and zinc, under neutral pH conditions. Sequential extraction and mineralogical characterization tests have demonstrated that carbonate dissolution under acidic conditions may be a significant source of leached metals. Comparison of field cell and sequential extraction tests demonstrated that solid phase metal content and leachate metal concentration are not necessarily correlated: a high metal content in the solid phase does not imply high concentrations in the leachate, and conversely, relatively low levels of metal in the solid phase can result in significant metal release. The observed field cell behavior can be explained by differences in the mineralogical forms of the metals.

Analysis of dynamic and multidimensional data requires very different approaches to the classical segmentation and visualization tools developed for purely structural or anatomical imaging. This thesis details the development of two different spatiotemporal analysis approaches for high-speed in-vivo dynamic optical imaging. Optical imaging is a diverse, versatile, and generally inexpensive modality that can take advantage of a wide range of endogenous and exogenous sources of optical contrast within living tissue. While light scattering can limit resolution and sensitivity of imaging in deeper tissues, optical imaging is well suited for small animal studies where it can be used for studies of physiology and disease processes, for pharmaceutical development and as a test-bed for translation to clinical applications.
      In the first part of this work, we present and apply spatiotemporal analysis techniques which we define as `dynamic contrast enhancement' methods. We apply these methods to in-vivo whole body small animal molecular optical imaging to demonstrate that dynamic analysis can be used for longitudinal assessment of organ function.  We then demonstrate the equivalence of our approach to dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. This optical technique could allow for better informed drug development and longitudinal toxicity evaluation. This technique could also serve as a platform for the development of functional imaging methods using dynamic MRI.
      We then apply spatiotemporal analysis techniques to high speed optical hemodynamic imaging data acquired on the exposed rodent cortex. The purpose of this work is to develop a mechanistically-based spatiotemporal model of neurovascular coupling, in order to better understand the basis of functional magnetic resonance imaging data in the human brain. Our results also provide new insights into potential links between neurovascular disruption and disease pathophysiology in the brain.

description: A system of inelastic hard disks in a thin pipe capped by hot walls is studied with the aim of investigating velocity correlations between particles. Two effects lead to such correlations: inelastic collisions help to build localized correlations, while momentum conservation and diffusion produce long ranged correlations. In the quasi-elastic limit, the velocity correlation is weak, but it is still important since it is of the same order as the deviation from uniformity. For system with stronger inelasticity, the pipe contains a clump of particles in highly correlated motion. A theory with empirical parameters is developed. This theory is composed of equations similar to the usual hydrodynamic laws of conservation of particles, energy, and momentum. Numerical results show that the theory describes the dynamics satisfactorily in the quasi-elastic limit, however only qualitatively for stronger inelasticity.

description: Collective magnetic excitation modes, magnons, can be coherently coupled to microwave photons in the single excitation limit. This allows for access to quantum properties of magnons and opens up a range of applications in quantum information processing, with the intrinsic magnon linewidth representing the coherence time of a quantum resonator. Our measurement system consists of a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere and a three-dimensional (3D) microwave cavity at temperatures and excitation powers typical for superconducting quantum circuit experiments. We perform spectroscopic measurements to determine the limiting factor of magnon coherence at these experimental conditions. Using the input-output formalism, we extract the magnon linewidth $κ_\mathrm{m}$. We attribute the limitations of the coherence time at lowest temperatures and excitation powers to incoherent losses into a bath of near-resonance two-level systems (TLSs), a generic loss mechanism known from superconducting circuits under these experimental conditions. We find that the TLSs saturate when increasing the excitation power from quantum excitation to multi-photon excitation and their contribution to the linewidth vanishes. At higher temperatures, the TLSs saturate thermally and the magnon linewidth decreases as well.

description: Growing tissues are communities of cells that cooperate to form a robust, functional organ. Cooperative behavior is enforced by cell competition, wherein comparisons of fitness lead to selective elimination of cells sensed as relatively less healthy. Elimination of these ‘loser’ cells from Drosophila wing imaginal discs results in cell death induced by deployment of a genetic module consisting of the secreted Toll ligand Spätzle (Spz), several Toll related receptors, and NFkB factors. How signaling by this module is activated and restricted only to competing cells is unknown. Here, we investigate the signaling role of Spz in Myc-induced cell competition. We demonstrate that elimination of wild-type loser cells requires local synthesis and activation of Spz in the wing disc. We identify Spätzle Processing Enzyme (SPE) and Modular Serine Protease (modSP) as upstream mediators of Spz-mediated loser cell elimination, and show that an increase in SPE in ‘winner’ cells is required for Spz to kill loser cells. Finally, we show that Spz requires both Toll and Toll-8 to induce apoptosis of wing disc cells. Our results indicate that during cell competition, Spz-mediated signaling is strictly confined to the imaginal disc, allowing errors in tissue fitness to be corrected without compromising organismal physiology.

description: We report the first search for supersymmetric particles via s-channel production and decay of smuons or muon sneutrinos at hadronic colliders. The data for the two-muon and two-jets final states were collected by the DO experiment, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 94 +/- 5 pb^{-1}. Assuming that R-parity is violated via the single coupling lambda^{prime}_{211}, the number of candidate events is in agreement with expectation from the standard model. Exclusion contours are given in the (m_0,m_{1/2}) and (m_{tilde{chi}},m_{tilde{nu}}) planes for lambda^{prime}_{211}=0.09, 0.08 and 0.07.

description: We study $\bar qq$-hybrid mixing for the light vector mesons and $\bar qq$-glueball mixing for the light scalar mesons in Monte-Carlo based QCD Laplace sum rules. By calculating the two-point correlation function of a vector $\bar qγ_μq$ (scalar $\bar q q$) current and a hybrid (glueball) current we are able to estimate the mass and the decay constants of the corresponding mixed "physical state" that couples to both currents. Our results do not support strong quark/gluonic mixing for either the $1^{--}$ or the $0^{++}$ states.

description: We introduce and develop a theory of fusion and statistical processes of gapped excitations in Abelian fracton phases. The key idea is to incorporate lattice translation symmetry via its action on superselection sectors, which results in a fusion theory endowed with information about the non-trivial mobility of fractons and sub-dimensional excitations. This results in a description of statistical processes in terms of local moves determined by the fusion theory. Our results can be understood as providing a characterization of translation-invariant fracton phases. We obtain simple descriptions of the fusion theory in the X-cube and checkerboard fracton models, as well as for gapped electric and magnetic excitations of some gapless U(1) tensor gauge theories. An alternate route to the X-cube model fusion theory is provided by starting with a system of decoupled two-dimensional toric code layers, and giving a description of the p-string condensation mechanism within our approach. We discuss examples of statistical processes of fractons and sub-dimensional excitations in the X-cube and checkerboard models. As an application of the ideas developed, we prove that the X-cube and semionic X-cube models realize distinct translation-invariant fracton phases, even when the translation symmetry is broken corresponding to an arbitrary but finite enlargement of the crystalline unit cell.
