description: There has been quite some activity and progress concerning spectral asymptotics of random operators that are defined on percolation subgraphs of different types of graphs. In this short survey we record some of these results and explain the necessary background coming from different areas in mathematics: graph theory, group theory, probability theory and random operators.

Hydrologic monitoring and analysis of porous parking lot in Linden, New Jersey

description: Impervious surfaces have long been implicated in the increase of stormwater runoff in urban watersheds, leading to flooding even during small to moderate rainfall events. Replacing impervious surfaces with porous pavement could restore the predevelopment hydrology and improve stormwater management. In this study, hydrologic observation and analysis were performed for a 1,450 m^2 porous parking lot located in Linden, New Jersey. Submerged velocity and water level sensors were tested and calibrated before and after data collection. These measurements include effective data from 16 rainfall events to quantify runoff volume, peak flow rate and lag to peak flow. The methods used in the analysis include: the NRCS Curve Number (CN) Method and the Rational Method. The watershed boundaries were delineated through high-resolution land surveys. 3D terrain surface point cloud datasets were obtained by Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). The datasets generated were imported to the open-source software CloudCompare to perform point-cloud filtering analysis. ArcGIS tools were used to create a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to perform drainage area delineation analysis. Results from the DEM delineation analysis showed an extra 25% drainage area outside the parking lot itself. Sensor analysis and calibration showed that the sensor works with high accuracy at water depths above 1.4 inches. Linear regression between measured and predicted runoff volume showed a R^2=0.90. The comparison showed a relative variation of 3% with a CN of 95 and 18% with a CN of 84. The rational method showed an overestimate of the peak flow reduction of 30% with a R^2=0.80. The analysis of October 27th rainfall event concluded that the incorporation of the outlet structure in October 2019 increased lag to peak by 34 minutes and reduced the peak flow rate by 72%. The study demonstrated that a high-resolution drainage area delineation is necessary for small watersheds as the landscape varies over time. The CN of 95 resulted in a better fit for this study, showing the importance of the CN selection as soil conditions and properties are unique. The porous parking lot showed a significant peak flow reduction and a long lag of peak flow, contributing to flooding mitigation.

description: The theory of zonal polynomials is used to compute the average of a Schur polynomial of argument $AX$, where $A$ is a fixed matrix and $X$ is from the real Ginibre ensemble. This generalizes a recent result of Sommers and Khorozhenko [J. Phys. A {\bf 42} (2009), 222002], and furthermore allows analogous results to be obtained for the complex and real quaternion Ginibre ensembles. As applications, the positive integer moments of the general variance Ginibre ensembles are computed in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions, these are written in terms of averages over matrices of the same size as the moment to give duality formulas, and the averages of the power sums of the eigenvalues are expressed as finite sums of zonal polynomials.

description: This study was commissioned by Geoscience Australia (GA) to produce a report on source rock maturity and maceral/organoclast assemblages for a suite of rock samples from from the MinEx CRC National Drilling Initiative (NDI) Carrara 1 drill hole in the Northern Territory, Australia. 25 samples consisting of 24 drill core samples and 1 drill cutting sample were studied using organic petrological methods to evaluate the organic matter type, content, thermal maturity and hydrocarbon potential. Vitrinite was absent in all the samples and variable amounts of bitumen was present throughout the stratigraphic section studied. Fluorescing lamalginite was present in the upper part of the section and no bioclasts were detected in the samples from the lower section. Vitrinite reflectance equivalents calculated from bitumen reflectance indicated that upper part of the section containing lamalginite is early to mid-mature and the lower part of the section is over-mature. Good potential for liquid hydrocarbons may exist in the upper part of the section and the overmature lower part of the stratigraphic section could be gas prone.

description: The diagnostic age versus mass-to-light ratio diagram is often used in attempts to constrain the shape of the stellar initial mass function, and the stability and the potential longevity of extragalactic young to intermediate-age massive star clusters. Here, we explore the pitfalls associated with this approach and its potential for use with Galactic open clusters. We conclude that for an open cluster to survive for any significant fraction of a Hubble time (in the absence of substantial external perturbations), it is a necessary but not a sufficient condition to be located close to the predicted photometric evolutionary sequences for "normal" simple stellar populations.

description: The magnetic fields of our Milky Way galaxy are the main agent for cosmic rays to transport. In the last decade, much new knowledge has been gained from measurements of the Galactic magnetic fields. In the Galactic disk, from the RMs of a large number of newly discovered pulsars, the large-scale magnetic fields along the spiral arms have been delineated in a much larger region than ever before, with alternating directions in the arm and interarm regions. The toroidal fields in the Galactic halo were revealed to have opposite directions below and above the Galactic plane, which is an indication of an A0 mode dynamo operating in the halo. The strength of large-scale fields obtained from pulsar RM data has been found to increase exponentially towards the Galactic center. Compared to the steep Kolmogorov spectrum of magnetic energy at small scales, the large-scale magnetic fields show a shallow broken spatial magnetic energy spectrum.

description: Explicit-exact expressions for the particle propagator of the spin 1/2 Calogero-Sutherland model are derived for the system of a finite number of particles and for that in the thermodynamic limit. Derivation of the expression in the thermodynamic limit is also presented in detail. Combining this result with the hole propagator obtained in earlier studies, we calculate the spectral function of the single particle Green's function in the full range of the energy and momentum space. The resultant spectral function exhibits power-law singularity characteristic to correlated particle systems in one dimension.

description: Symplectic forms taming complex structures on compact manifolds are strictly related to Hermitian metrics having the fundamental form $\partial \bar \partial $-closed, i.e. to strong Kähler with torsion (${\rm SKT}$) metrics. It is still an open problem to exhibit a compact example of a complex manifold having a tamed symplectic structure but non-admitting Kähler structures. We show some negative results for the existence of symplectic forms taming complex structures on compact quotients of Lie groups by discrete subgroups. In particular, we prove that if $M$ is a nilmanifold (not a torus) endowed with an invariant complex structure $J$, then $(M, J)$ does not admit any symplectic form taming $J$. Moreover, we show that if a nilmanifold $M$ endowed with an invariant complex structure $J$ admits an ${\rm SKT}$ metric, then $M$ is at most 2-step. As a consequence we classify 8-dimensional nilmanifolds endowed with an invariant complex structure admitting an SKT metric.

description: Topological configurations, monopoles and vortices, successfully describe quark confinement and the spontaneous breakdown of chiral symmetry. Despite their infinite action, these configurations are relevant due to a subtle cancellation between action and entropy. A natural explanation for this intrinsic fine-tuning is that smooth low action configurations exist which confine and which appear as singular topological objects in certain gauges. To reveal these confining semi-classical configurations, a new cooling method is proposed which largely reduces the action while preserving the asymptotic quark-antiquark potential. First numerical results for a SU(2) gauge theory show that confining configurations with an average plaquette as high as 0.95 do exist.

description: GH20 human β-N-acetylhexosaminidases (hsHex) and GH84 human O-GlcNAcase (hOGA) are involved in numerous pathological processes and emerged as promising targets for drug discovery. Based on the catalytic mechanism and structure of the catalytic domains of these β-N-acetylhexosaminidases, a series of novel naphthalimide moiety-bearing thioglycosides with different flexible linkers were designed, and their inhibitory potency against hsHexB and hOGA was evaluated. The strongest potency was found for compound 15j (Ki = 0.91 µM against hsHexB; Ki > 100 µM against hOGA) and compound 15b (Ki = 3.76 µM against hOGA; Ki = 30.42 µM against hsHexB), which also exhibited significant selectivity between these two enzymes. Besides, inhibitors 15j and 15b exhibited an inverse binding patterns in docking studies. The determined structure–activity relationship as well as the established binding models provide the direction for further structure optimizations and the development of specific β-N-acetylhexosaminidase inhibitors.

description: Hosta plantaginea was a traditional Chinese medicinal plants used to treat inflammatory and painful diseases with partial scientific validation. Solvent extractions followed by repeated chromatographic purification of the H. plantaginea flowers led to the isolation of one new flavonoid glycoside, hostaflavone A (1), together with one related known compound, kaempferol-3-O-sophoroside-7-O-glucoside (2), and their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectral evidence, as well as by comparison with literature data. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for the anti-inflammatory activites against cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) and DPPH free radical-scavenging activities in vitro. The results revealed that 1 and 2 exhibited significant COX-1 inhibition and moderate COX-2 inhibition compared to the reference celecoxib. Additionally, 1 and 2 displayed insignificant antioxidant activities compared to the positive control L-ascorbic acid.

description: In this document, I outline the research, theory and practice that are the foundation of my work with the more-than-human world. I draw on the theoretical discussions of what constitutes a person, the inherent vitality of thing power and ideas about kinship and multi-species survival to investigate how we might move towards a glimmer of poly-ontological possibility. The body of work described in this text is an attempt to concurrently experience, facilitate and chronicle my interactions in material form through the creation of objects that serve as both agents and archives. I utilize ceremonial field studies that involve approaching the subject with openness to whatever might transpire, and studio practices with materials that refer to a homesteading vernacular. As a woman of both settler and Indigenous ancestry, I explore my relationship to the more-than-human from a place that straddles, and honours, different cultures and ontologies. There are many ways to create kin, and in this paper I present several potential avenues. Reflecting on the writings of Priscilla Stuckey, Rosi Braidotti, Donna Haraway and Zoe Todd, I propose that we need to adapt our approach to encounters with human and non-human alike in order to be in solidarity with one another as we begin to structure a collaborative response to our unknown future. My research reflects a sensibility that believes in ethics, is concerned with our relationship to nature, is socially oriented and seeks a kind of in-betweeness. To further my understanding of how we might transform mythologies, language and definitions, and to situate my practice within a thinking within a broader artistic and theoretical context, I refer to contemporary artists centralizing relationships with the more-than- human world, including Rebecca Belmore, Marcus Coates and Tanya Willard.

Post secondary family life education in British Columbia
Creators: name: MacDonald, Joan Phyllis Diana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Family life education is now advocated by many authorities but rarely defined. Analysis and definition of curricula in the field is equally rare. This study pays special attention to education in this subject area, especially in tertiary institutions. University and community college programs are discussed. Part of this thesis is a detailed review of relevant literature. Particular attention is paid to (1) definitions of the topic, (2) possibilities and proposals for interdisciplinary contributions to the field of study, (3) instruction in the area, including content and methods. Focusing on British Columbia, a detailed survey was conducted of all agencies expected to be active in family life education. Many gave negative reports indicating no programs were offered. Detailed analysis of the responses produced a comprehensive profile of agencies reporting participation. Critical aspects of the analysis were, (1) types of agencies, (2) the instructors active, (3) clients of the programs, (4) outline of curriculum. While several types of agencies are active in family life education (schools, churches), the bulk of the courses were offered in the realm of social work. Nevertheless, the need is apparent for more and different courses available at the tertiary level in community colleges and universities. Final recommendations Include establishing a Family Life Studies Institute to coordinate local instruction, research and study programs.

description: We provide analytical results for the $O(α_s)$ corrections to the polar angle dependence of the longitudinal spin-spin correlation asymmetry in $e^+e^-\to q\bar q$. For top quark pair production the $O(α_s)$ corrections to the longitudinal spin-spin asymmetry are strongly polar angle dependent and can amount up to $4\%$ in the $q^2$-range from above $t\bar t$ threshold up to $\sqrt{q^2}=1000$ GeV. The $O(α_s)$ radiative corrections to the correlation asymmetry are below $1\%$ in the forward direction where the cross section is largest. In the $e^+e^-\to b\bar b$ case the $O(α_s)$ corrections reduce the asymmetry value from its $m_b=0$ value of $-100\%$ to approximately $-96\%$ for $q^2$-values around the $Z$ peak and are practically independent of the value of the polar angle theta. This reduction can be traced to finite anomalous contributions from residual mass effects which survive the $m_b\to 0$ limit. We discuss the role of the anomalous contributions and the pattern of how they contribute to spin-flip and non-flip terms.

Comparison of load rating methods for complex bridges
Creators: name: Strafaci, Joseph R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: With the lack of funding to address all infrastructure needs, highway agencies are faced with prioritizing their greatest infrastructure needs. This especially holds true for complex structures, which as defined by the 2018 AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluation include movable, suspension, cable stayed, or other unusual characteristic not found in common structures These bridges usually provide access for a great number of users and come with a high cost of replacement. The purpose of this project was to perform a comparison of load rating methods for Complex Bridges. Focus was placed on the current Load Factor Resistance Rating and Load Factor Rating methodology. This study utilizes a movable bridge as a form of comparative evaluation. The bridge was selected due to its age, complexity, and condition. To assist in this comparison, analysis by field testing, and a refined method of analysis was utilized in the form of finite element modeling. Additionally, weigh-in-motion sensors were installed at the selected bridge to understand daily truck traffic, identify maximum loading scenarios, and develop a site-specific live load factor. Based on the analysis performed, it was concluded that the LRFR method is the preferred method when compared to the LFR Method. Given the current code provisions, when compared against each other, the LRFR not only provides the most ideal rating factor, but also provides a clearer picture of how members are being affect by subject loads. Additionally, based off the comparison performed and results obtained, this project developed a proposed guide for inclusion into the MBE for the evaluation of complex structures. Additionally, based on the analysis performed guidance regarding repaired members, and prediction models was also proposed.

We study two different types of chirally rotated Schroedinger functional boundary conditions which have been recently proposed to retain the bulk automatic O(a) improvement of massless Wilson fermions in finite volume. We investigate the spectral properties and the quark propagators which derive from these two proposals in the continuum at tree-level of perturbation theory.

An analysis of the effects of an experimental remedial reading program on the comprehension skills of potential school dropouts.
Creators: name: Ahrendt, Kenneth Martin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The present study investigated the effects of a specially designed remedial reading program consisting of intensive training sessions which emphasized the direct instruction of vocabulary skills by the use of context clue or by structural analysis and dictionary usage using individual teaching techniques rather than group teaching techniques on the comprehension skills of potential school dropouts. The subjects in this experimental study were grade eight students from a junior secondary school. They were divided into three categories: (1) comprehension and vocabulary scores the same as or less than grade 6.0; (2) comprehension score the same as or less than grade 6.0; but vocabulary score the same as or greater than grade 6.0; and (3) vocabulary score the same as or less than grade 6.0; but comprehension score the same as or greater than grade 6.0. Thirty-six subjects were identified on the basis of these criteria. Each subject in each of the three categories was assigned to one of three treatment conditions at random. They received four treatment lessons; forty minutes each over a period of four weeks. The instructional materials were worksheets prepared by the experimenter. Each subject was given the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test, Survey E, Form 1, The School Interest Inventory; a pre- and post- paper-pencil Comprehension Test "X", and a common transfer task which consisted of a reading selection and comprehension questions constructed by the experimenter. The findings of this experimental study indicate that the treatment effects observed in terms of the number of correct responses on the transfer task with acquired vocabularies were not significant. The treatment effects in terms of the time in minutes to the completion of the transfer task with acquired vocabularies were significant indicating that the treatment with the use of contextual clues was particularly effective to those subjects in Category 3. Both the treatments with the use of contextual clues and structural analysis with dictionary usage were effective to Category 3 subjects who were lacking in vocabulary skills when the kind of transfer comprehension test with acquired vocabularies via four sessions of treatment were given. The analysis of performance on the transfer test with new vocabularies indicates that the remedial treatments as compared to the non-remedial control treatment are significant. The treatment with the use of contextual clues is no more effective than the treatment with the use of structural analysis with dictionary usage. The treatment effects on comprehension were interpreted on the results of the significant practice effects observed over four exposure treatments. These suggest that extended treatments of the kinds used in the present study would have shown significant remedial training effects via the use of contextual clues in the training of vocabulary skills.

description: The relativistic spinning particle model, proposed in [3,4], is analyzed in a Hamiltonian framework. The spin is simulated by extending the configuration space by introducing a light-like four vector degree of freedom. The model is heavily constrained and constraint analysis, in the Dirac scheme, is both novel and instructive. Our major finding is an associated novel non-commutative structure in the extended space. This is obtained in a particular gauge. The model possesses a large gauge freedom and hence a judicious choice of gauge becomes imperative. The gauge fixed system in reduced phase space simplifies considerably for further study. We have shown that this non-commutative phase space algebra is essential in revealing the spin effects in the particle model through the Lorentz generator and Hamiltonian equations of motion.

Hadronic observables from Au+Au collisions at s(NN)**(1/2)=200 GeV and Pb+Pb collisions at s(NN)**(1/2)=5.5 TeV from a simple kinematic model

description: A simple kinematic model based on superposition of p+p collisions, relativistic geometry and final-state hadronic rescattering is used to calculate various hadronic observables in s(NN)**(1/2) = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions and s(NN)**(1/2) = 5.5 TeV Pb+Pb collisions. The model calculations are compared with experimental results from several s(NN)**(1/2) = 200 GeV Au+Au collision studies. If a short hadronization time is assumed in the model, it is found that this model describes the trends of the observables from these experiments surprisingly well considering the model's simplicity. This also gives more credibility to the model predictions presented for s(NN)**(1/2) = 5.5 TeV Pb+Pb collisions.

Storytelling

description: In this thesis, I outline my research project that investigates how everyday materials and consumables from the quotidian help us to understand who we are and how we fit into the communities we are a part of. My thesis questions include: As an Indigenous woman how can I unpack how subjectivity and identity are constructed through understanding my own identity as well as others? Why are objects and the things that we consume in our lives often overlooked? How can we interpret what they signify, and what commonalities do they reveal between us? Throughout this paper I consider my own identity as an adopted Indigenous woman and discuss the intricacies of identity and subjectivity and how these topics are continually being pieced together throughout our lives. I delve into contemporary artists and writers who explore concepts around identity and how we relate to others as a means to support this discussion. Through referencing writers and artists from the past and present, I discuss the significance of serendipitous moments that occur around us on a day-to-day basis. I define the everyday in relationship to my process, and consider what it means to concentrate on unnoticed items and how this informs my practice. I follow with a section about storytelling and how it is tied to my research and my completed artworks. Writing informs every step of my practice and helps me to contextualize the environments that I occupy and critically question how they operate socially. This thesis defines a practice that strives to learn how the communities that we occupy collectively share more than just the landscape. We hold connections together through our own subjectivity and identity that is assembled through commonplace objects and consumable items from our everyday environments. I am advocating for the power of these overlooked ties in society as they transcend the power structures and social positions we hold.

description: The following essay includes information that surrounds my investigations into the human desire to invest in objects. This writing accompanies questions concerning systems built for, by, and with things, as well as the possibilities of breaching those boundaries. Explorations around what becomes available in this stuff when significance becomes both flexible and untethered are considered from separate, sometimes overlapping vantages within my practice. Using complicate, devotion, dualism, evidence, fraternize, gap, interpretation, naiveté, riddle, and unsettle as anchor points, I contemplate the real and sensual, the emotional and physical, experiences that objects provoke in all types of possible relationships.

Tunable Casimir repulsion with three dimensional topological insulators

description: In this Letter, we show that switching between repulsive and attractive Casimir forces by means of external tunable parameters could be realized with two topological insulator plates. We find two regimes where a repulsive (attractive) force is found at small (large) distances between the plates, canceling out at a critical distance. For a frequency range where the effective electromagnetic action is valid, this distance appears at length scales corresponding to $1-ε(ω) (2/π)αθ$.

description: Measures of innovative activity show it to be concentrated in a small number of countries. Yet the benefits of innovation are experienced broadly. International trade is one conduit through which the benefits of innovation in one country can flow abroad. Technological diffusion is another. In this paper we develop a model of technology and trade to explore these alternatives. An implication of the model is that increased trade will itself affect observed productivity as well 85 real wages. We analyse data on trade, research, and productivity from five major industrial economies in light of the model. Trade alone can explain observed cross-sectional patterns of innovation and productivity quite well. Nonetheless trade fails to explain why productivity growth is 85 high in countries where less inventive activity occurs. An implication is that diffusion rather than trade is responsible for the similarity in growth rates across major industrial countries.
Brownian and fractional Brownian stochastic currents via Malliavin calculus

description: By using Malliavin calculus and multiple Wiener-Itô integrals, we study the existence and the regularity of stochastic currents defined as Skorohod (divergence) integrals with respect to the Brownian motion and to the fractional Brownian motion. We consider also the multidimensional multiparameter case and we compare the regularity of the current as a distribution in negative Sobolev spaces with its regularity in Watanabe space.

Non-equilibrium current and relaxation dynamics of a charge-fluctuating quantum dot

description: We study the steady-state current in a minimal model for a quantum dot dominated by charge fluctuations and analytically describe the time evolution into this state. The current is driven by a finite bias voltage V across the dot, and two different renormalization group methods are used to treat small to intermediate local Coulomb interactions. The corresponding flow equations can be solved analytically which allows to identify all microscopic cutoff scales. Exploring the entire parameter space we find rich non-equilibrium physics which cannot be understood by simply considering the bias voltage as an infrared cutoff. For the experimentally relevant case of left-right asymmetric couplings, the current generically shows a power-law suppression for large V. The relaxation dynamics towards the steady state features characteristic oscillations as well as an interplay of exponential and power-law decay.
Atomic Frequency standards Based on Pulsed Coherent Light Storage

description: We propose a new scheme of microwave frequency standards based on pulsed coherent optical information storage. Unlike the usual frequency reference where the Ramsey fringe is printed on the population of a certain state, we print the Ramsey fringe on the coherence. Then the coherence is detected in the form of a retrieval light. The central line of the Ramsey fringe can be used as a frequency reference in an absorption-cell-based atomic frequency standard. This scheme is free of light shifts as the interrogating process is separated from the optical pumping processes, and the cavity pulling effect is negligible due to the low Q requirement. Encoding the Ramsey interference into the retrieval light pulse has the merit of high signal to noise ratio and the estimated frequency stability of shot noise limit is about $2\times10^{-14}$ in 1 second, this scheme is promising for building small, compact and stable atomic frequency standards.

description: SARAH is a Mathematica package for studying supersymmetric models. It calculates for a given model the masses, tadpole equations and all vertices at tree-level. Those information can be used by \SARAH to write model files for CalcHep/CompHep or FeynArts/FormCalc. In addition, the second version of SARAH can derive the renormalization group equations for the gauge couplings, parameters of the superpotential and soft-breaking parameters at one and two-loop level. Furthermore, it calculates the one-loop self energies and the one-loop corrections to the tadpoles. SARAH can handle all N=1 SUSY models whose gauge sector is a direct product of SU(N) and U(1) gauge groups. The particle content of the model can be an arbitrary number of chiral superfields transforming as any irreducible representation with respect to the gauge groups. To implement a new model, the user has just to define the gauge sector, the particle, the superpotential and the field rotations to mass eigenstates.
