Essays on household preference and dynamic decisions
Creators: name: Enkhbaatar, Tsenguun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: This study examines the identification of household preference from a micro-panel dataset and the effects of the stock market collapse and the Zero-Lower Bound monetary policy on household consumption decisions during the 2007-2008 global financial crisis (GFC). In the first chapter, I propose a procedure for estimating the household utility function from a micro-panel dataset using the intertemporal Euler equation. Here, I demonstrate that the household utility function can be estimated accurately from a micro-panel dataset using the intertemporal Euler equation by taking into account the differences in the portfolio compositions of household savings across households. In addition, I construct a new household dynamic model in which the household stock-holding behavior is modeled by explicitly taking into account the hidden stock market participation cost pointed out in recent empirical studies as a potential explanation for the low stock market participation rate among households in the United States. In the second chapter, I explore the effects of the stock market collapse and the Zero-Lower Bound monetary policy on household consumption decisions during the GFC. The huge drop in the stock market return and the decline in the risk-free rate due to the Zero-Lower Bound monetary policy triggered a large percentage decrease in the consumption of wealthy households in this period in the United States. Meanwhile, the consumption of households at the bottom part of the wealth distribution, which generally do not participate in the stock market, increased slightly in percentage due to the decline in the risk-free rate during the GFC in the United States. As a result, the stock market collapse and the Zero-Lower Bound monetary policy generated a substantial decrease in consumption inequality among households. In the third chapter, I estimate the heterogeneity in household preference by employing a combination of the extremum and nonparametric estimation methods and find significant heterogeneity in the preferences across households in the United States and Italy. This estimated heterogeneity in household preference can be used to explain the observed wealth distribution and the differences in career and investment choices across households in future research.

description: HESS J1632-478 is an extended and still unidentified TeV source in the galactic plane. In order to identify the source of the very high energy emission and to constrain its spectral energy distribution, we used a deep observation of the field obtained with XMM-Newton together with data from Molonglo, Spitzer and Fermi to detect counterparts at other wavelengths. The flux density emitted by HESS J1632-478 peaks at very high energies and is more than 20 times weaker at all other wavelengths probed. The source spectrum features two large prominent bumps with the synchrotron emission peaking in the ultraviolet and the external inverse Compton emission peaking in the TeV. HESS J1632-478 is an energetic pulsar wind nebula with an age of the order of 10^4 years. Its bolometric (mostly GeV-TeV) luminosity reaches 10% of the current pulsar spin down power. The synchrotron nebula has a size of 1 pc and contains an unresolved point-like X-ray source, probably the pulsar with its wind termination shock.

description: Starting from a master equation, we derive the evolution equation for the size distribution of elements in an evolving system, where each element can grow, divide into two, and produce new elements. We then probe general solutions of the evolution quation, to obtain such skew distributions as power-law, log-normal, and Weibull distributions, depending on the growth or division and production. Specifically, repeated production of elements of uniform size leads to power-law distributions, whereas production of elements with the size distributed according to the current distribution as well as no production of new elements results in log-normal distributions. Finally, division into two, or binary fission, bears Weibull distributions. Numerical simulations are also carried out, confirming the validity of the obtained solutions.

description: TRI-HP EU project is aiming to develop trigeneration integrated solutions that combine heating, cooling and electricity
 generation, based on heat pumps running with natural refrigerants and using multiple renewable energy
 sources. This deliverable describes the method used for testing two kinds of heat pump systems developed within the project under realistic dynamic conditions. Both systems contain heat pumps with natural refrigerants that have been developed within the project TRI-HP. The dual-source system, including a reversible heat pump that allows the use of ambient heat and ground source heat, has been developed for warm climates with high cooling demands. The ice-slurry system, using a combination of solarthermal collectors and an ice-slurry tank as source of a heat pump, has been developed for cooler climates with low cooling demand in summer. The implementation of different energy sources for systems for space heating space heating (SH), space cooling and domestic hot water preparation often leads to a complex architecture of the overall system. The efciency of the resulting system is highly dependent on dynamic operating conditions due to transient on/off cycles, component interactions, thermal storage, hydraulic designs, overall system control, and other factors. Performance evaluation of such systems is not trivial and cannot be done via steady-state measurements of individual components. For this reason, measurements using the hardware-in-the-loop approach are performed in the TRI-HP project to test the performance of the newly developed systems.
 A method called concise cycle test (CCT) has been developed at SPF and IREC for this purpose. This method was adapted to the systems to be tested and applied in the different variants at SPF as well as at IREC. The CCT shall show the behavior of a complete system for heating and cooling under real-life conditions at different days of the year. In TRI-HP, the functionality of the ice-slurry storage will be tested in the system test as well as the advanced energy management (AEM) control developed within the project. Therefore, the complete system is installed on a test rig. The test rig emulates a building, including the SH and cooling distribution system, the domestic hot water (DHW) draw offs, the solar collector eld and the photo voltaic (PV) installation. The system under test must act completely autonomously to cover the demand for heating and cooling of the building and the draw-offs during a test cycle. This test cycle is composed of a number of representative days of a real year. The selected days are put together to a consecutive test-cycle.

description: The neutrino propagating in curved spacetimes, e.g. around black holes, in early curved universe, violates Lorentz and then CPT symmetry, at least in the local coordinate. This occurs due to coupling of spin of the neutrino to background spin connection which modifies the underlying dispersion relation. This results in the neutrino asymmetry and hence as a consequence neutrino oscillation probability gets affected.

Long-Term Preservation of Animal Viruses: An Overview
Creators: name: Avantika Srivastav1, Ankit Jaiswal2, Ithrineni Karthik3
Publisher: name: The Science world a Monthly e magazine
Year: 2024

description: Preservation of animal viruses for long term storage possess a significant challenge due to the delicate nature of the viruses. The traditional methods include cooling or freezing that can lead to ice crystal formation, membrane damage, osmotic shock and rendering the viruses non-infectious. Infectivity can also be compromised by degradative enzymes, detergents that solubilize lipid-containing envelopes. However, advanced virus storage techniques involve freeze-drying and ultra-freezing techniques. It has been proven that viruses can be preserved as infectious agents by being stored at low or ultra-low temperatures, or in the absence of water. This approach helps to mitigate the risks associated with ice crystal formation and other damaging effects. Additionally, the incorporation of supplements like serum is presumed to stabilize environmental conditions and impede degradative processes. The efficacy of these preservation methods varies, as different viruses exhibit unique properties that influence the choice of specific procedures for maintaining virus stocks. Overall, the balance between temperature control, moisture elimination, and the addition of stabilizing agents plays a crucial role in successful long-term storage of animal viruses.

description: The master equation approach is proposed to describe the evolution of passengers in a subway system. With the transition rate constructed from simple geographical consideration, the evolution equation for the distribution of subway passengers is found to bear skew distributions including log-normal, Weibull, and power-law distributions. This approach is then applied to the Metropolitan Seoul Subway system: Analysis of the trip data of all passengers in a day reveals that the data in most cases fit well to the log-normal distributions. Implications of the results are also discussed.

description: We present an overview of the design of IRIS, an infrared (0.85 - 2.5 micron) integral field spectrograph and imaging camera for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). With extremely low wavefront error (<30 nm) and on-board wavefront sensors, IRIS will take advantage of the high angular resolution of the narrow field infrared adaptive optics system (NFIRAOS) to dissect the sky at the diffraction limit of the 30-meter aperture. With a primary spectral resolution of 4000 and spatial sampling starting at 4 milliarcseconds, the instrument will create an unparalleled ability to explore high redshift galaxies, the Galactic center, star forming regions and virtually any astrophysical object. This paper summarizes the entire design and basic capabilities. Among the design innovations is the combination of lenslet and slicer integral field units, new 4Kx4k detectors, extremely precise atmospheric dispersion correction, infrared wavefront sensors, and a very large vacuum cryogenic system.

Neural coding of lactic acid taste in Drosophila melanogaster and Aedes aegypti
Creators: name: Ghosh, Britya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are anthropophilic. They locate human hosts by using multimodal cues like visual cues, carbon-dioxide, body heat, odor, and taste. Upon landing, female mosquitoes assess taste cues with their tarsi and proboscis to evaluate the surface before probing in to draw blood. Lactic acid is an important component of human body secretions, which plays a role in attracting mosquitoes to the human host. However, not much has been uncovered about the role of mosquito gustation in bite-initiation behavior. Does lactic acid taste on human skin elicit an appetitive response in the gravid female mosquitoes, initiating blood-feeding? While blood-feeding behavior is specific to female Aedes aegypti, both males and females engage in sugar feeding to acquire the nutrients for life processes. Is lactic acid taste an attractive gustatory cue for the sugar-feeding program? Does sexual dimorphism play a role in their gustatory response towards lactic acid? We have developed novel mosquito feeding and engorgement assays to answer these questions. We found that lactic acid is an attractive contact cue for the mosquitoes both during sugar-feeding and engorgement behavior. How acid taste is encoded, evaluated, processed, and modulates behavior are not well understood. To understand the neural coding of lactic acid taste, we used Drosophila melanogaster (flies). Flies show an appetitive response to lactic acid taste at low concentration, however as the concentration increases, they start demonstrating aversive behavior. We showed that attraction towards lactic acid taste is mediated by sweet Gustatory Receptor Neurons (GRNs), expressing Gr64f, which is a gustatory receptor similar to the G-protein-coupled receptor family. Further delving into the molecular mechanism, we found that lactic acid taste attraction in fruit flies is mediated by receptors belonging to two different families - the Gustatory Receptor (GR) family and the Ionotropic Receptor (IR) family. To our best knowledge, it is the first time the involvement of both an IR and a GR has been demonstrated in mediating taste response to a single modality.

description: For a polynomial p with a repelling fixed point w, we consider Poincaré functions of p at w, i.e. entire functions L which satisfy L(0)=w and p(L(z))=L(p'(w)*z) for all z in the complex plane. We show that if the component of the Julia set of p that contains w equals {w}, then the (fast) escaping set of L is a spider's web; in particular it is connected. More precisely, we classify all linearizers of polynomials with regards to the spider's web structure of the set of all points which escape faster than the iterates of the maximum modulus function at a sufficiently large point.

description: We present sensitivity estimates for point and resolved astronomical sources for the current design of the InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) on the future Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). IRIS, with TMT's adaptive optics system, will achieve unprecedented point source sensitivities in the near-infrared (0.84 - 2.45 μm) when compared to systems on current 8-10m ground based telescopes. The IRIS imager, in 5 hours of total integration, will be able to perform a few percent photometry on 26 - 29 magnitude (AB) point sources in the near-infrared broadband filters (Z, Y, J, H, K). The integral field spectrograph, with a range of scales and filters, will achieve good signal-to-noise on 22 - 26 magnitude (AB) point sources with a spectral resolution of R=4,000 in 5 hours of total integration time. We also present simulated 3D IRIS data of resolved high-redshift star forming galaxies (1 < z < 5), illustrating the extraordinary potential of this instrument to probe the dynamics, assembly, and chemical abundances of galaxies in the early universe. With its finest spatial scales, IRIS will be able to study luminous, massive, high-redshift star forming galaxies (star formation rates ~ 10 - 100 M yr-1) at ~100 pc resolution. Utilizing the coarsest spatial scales, IRIS will be able to observe fainter, less massive high-redshift galaxies, with integrated star formation rates less than 1 M yr-1, yielding a factor of 3 to 10 gain in sensitivity compared to current integral field spectrographs. The combination of both fine and coarse spatial scales with the diffraction-limit of the TMT will significantly advance our understanding of early galaxy formation processes and their subsequent evolution into presentday galaxies.

description: Water is often viewed as a collection of monomers interacting electrostatically with each other. We compare the water proton momentum distributions from recent neutron scattering data with those calculated from two electronic structure based models. We find that below 500 K the electrostatic models are not able to even qualitatively account for the sizable vibrational zero-point contribution to the enthalpy of vaporization. This discrepancy is evidence that the change in the proton well upon solvation cannot be entirely explained by electrostatic effects alone.

description: This summary report explains corrosion control methods, including using flexible fillers such as petroleum-based microcrystalline wax to replace cementitious grout—an impregnation method using a silicon polymer-based corrosion inhibitor that impregnates the grout to form a barrier to moisture and oxygen upon a pressure-driven injection process—and electrically isolating tendons from surroundings and monitoring their in-service condition. These methods and ongoing efforts are encouraging developments for constructing more durable PT bridges. More time is needed to uncover pros and cons due to the limited experience with the new methods, but the bridge community has been moving forward in a positive direction.

description: We study a chain of coupled nanomagnets in a classical approximation. We show that the infinitely long chain of coupled nanomagnets can be equivalently mapped onto an effective one-dimensional Hamiltonian with a fictitious time-dependent perturbation. We establish a connection between the dynamical characteristics of the classical system and spin correlation time. The decay rate for the spin correlation functions turns out to depend logarithmically on the maximal Lyapunov exponent. Furthermore, we discuss the non-trivial role of the exchange anisotropy within the chain.

description: We develop a theory of nonlinear cosmological perturbations on superhorizon scales for a single scalar field with a general kinetic term and a general form of the potential. We employ the ADM formalism and the spatial gradient expansion approach, characterised by $O(ε^m)$, where $ε=1/(HL)$ is a small parameter representing the ratio of the Hubble radius to the characteristic length scale $L$ of perturbations. We obtain the general solution for a full nonlinear version of the curvature perturbation valid up through second-order in $ε$ ($m=2$). We find the solution satisfies a nonlinear second-order differential equation as an extension of the equation for the linear curvature perturbation on the comoving hypersurface. Then we formulate a general method to match a perturbative solution accurate to $n$-th-order in perturbation inside the horizon to our nonlinear solution accurate to second-order ($m=2$) in the gradient expansion on scales slightly greater than the Hubble radius. The formalism developed in this paper allows us to calculate the superhorizon evolution of a primordial non-Gaussianity beyond the so-called $δN$ formalism or separate universe approach which is equivalent to leading order ($m=0$) in the gradient expansion. In particular, it can deal with the case when there is a temporary violation of slow-roll conditions. As an application of our formalism, we consider Starobinsky's model, which is a single field model having a temporary non-slow-roll stage due to a sharp change in the potential slope. We find that a large non-Gaussianity can be generated even on superhorizon scales due to this temporary suspension of slow-roll inflation.

description: The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) is a first-light instrument being designed for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). IRIS is a combination of an imager that will cover a 16.4" field of view at the diffraction limit of TMT (4 mas sampling), and an integral field unit spectrograph that will sample objects at 4-50 mas scales. IRIS will open up new areas of observational parameter space, allowing major progress in diverse fields of astronomy. We present the science case and resulting requirements for the performance of IRIS. Ultimately, the spectrograph will enable very well-resolved and sensitive studies of the kinematics and internal chemical abundances of high-redshift galaxies, shedding light on many scenarios for the evolution of galaxies at early times. With unprecedented imaging and spectroscopy of exoplanets, IRIS will allow detailed exploration of a range of planetary systems that are inaccessible with current technology. By revealing details about resolved stellar populations in nearby galaxies, it will directly probe the formation of systems like our own Milky Way. Because it will be possible to directly characterize the stellar initial mass function in many environments and in galaxies outside of the the Milky Way, IRIS will enable a greater understanding of whether stars form differently in diverse conditions. IRIS will reveal detailed kinematics in the centers of low-mass galaxies, allowing a test of black hole formation scenarios. Finally, it will revolutionize the characterization of reionization and the first galaxies to form in the universe.

description: A standard goal of model evaluation and selection is to find a model that approximates the truth well while at the same time is as parsimonious as possible. In this paper we emphasize the point of view that the models under consideration are almost always false, if viewed realistically, and so we should analyze model adequacy from that point of view. We investigate this issue in large samples by looking at a model credibility index, which is designed to serve as a one-number summary measure of model adequacy. We define the index to be the maximum sample size at which samples from the model and those from the true data generating mechanism are nearly indistinguishable. We use standard notions from hypothesis testing to make this definition precise. We use data subsampling to estimate the index. We show that the definition leads us to some new ways of viewing models as flawed but useful. The concept is an extension of the work of Davies [Statist. Neerlandica 49 (1995) 185--245].

description: A new excitation is observed at 201 meV in the doped-hole ladder cuprate Sr$_{14}$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$, using ultraviolet resonance Raman scattering with incident light at 3.7 eV polarized along the direction of the rungs. The excitation is found to be of charge nature, with a temperature independent excitation energy, and can be understood via an intra-ladder pair-breaking process. The intensity tracks closely the order parameter of the charge density wave in the ladder (CDW$_L$), but persists above the CDW$_L$ transition temperature ($T_{CDW_L}$), indicating a strong local pairing above $T_{CDW_L}$. The 201 meV excitation vanishes in La$_{6}$Ca$_{8}$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41+δ}$, and La$_{5}$Ca$_{9}$Cu$_{24}$O$_{41}$ which are samples with no holes in the ladders. Our results suggest that the doped holes in the ladder are composite bosons consisting of paired holons that order below $T_{CDW}$.

The severe requirements of this ADC are reviewed, as are limitations to observing caused by uncorrectable atmospheric effects. The requirement of residual dispersion less than 1 milliarcsecond can be met with certain glass combinations. The design decisions are discussed and the performance of the design ADC is described. Alternative options and their performance tradeoffs are also presented.

Inference and Modeling with Log-concave Distributions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Log-concave distributions are an attractive choice for modeling and inference, for several reasons: The class of log-concave distributions contains most of the commonly used parametric distributions and thus is a rich and flexible nonparametric class of distributions. Further, the MLE exists and can be computed with readily available algorithms. Thus, no tuning parameter, such as a bandwidth, is necessary for estimation. Due to these attractive properties, there has been considerable recent research activity concerning the theory and applications of log-concave distributions. This article gives a review of these results.

Improved normal estimation from cross-section drawings
Creators: name: Burla, Silver Luciano
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Concept sketches are common in the early stages of production design, as they require little time to produce and are effective at communicating both shape and volume information via carefully placed strokes. However, they are limited in their ability to convey material properties, and they do not help to envision a fully shaded product. Affording artists and designers the ability for fast sketching of shapes with rich visual shading can save a significant amount of time during the design refinement process, where shading is often done manually across multiple variations of lighting and material properties per iteration of ideas. To meet this need, CrossShade is an existing tool designed by Shao et al. for automatically shading line drawings. By leveraging specialized curves, in particular cross-section curves and the intersections between them, surface information of the curve-described geometry can be solved for via optimization of cross-section curve plane normals. Cross-section curves enforce a set of geometric constraints that aid viewers in lifting and interpreting concept sketches into 3D space, and so readily supplement regularity cues and perceptual constraints in a 3D reconstruction framework. We adopt the same regularity cues employed by CrossShade to estimate normals along cross-section curves in a new optimization routine, individually target curve networks constituting the whole of a line drawing sketch, and include a simple solution selection heuristic yielding more efficient, and robust results than previously reported. Accompanying our work is an updated sketch interface to make the drawing process more enjoyable for artists and designers.

description: Inspired by the recent experimental data (Phys. Lett. B {\bf 675} (2009) 420), we extend the triaxial projected shell model approach to study the $γ$-band structure in odd-mass nuclei. As a first application of the new development, the $γ$-vibrational structure of $^{103}$Nb is investigated. It is demonstrated that the model describes the ground-state band and multi-phonon $γ$-vibrations quite satisfactorily, supporting the interpretation of the data as one of the few experimentally-known examples of simultaneous occurrence of one- and two-$γ$-phonon vibrational bands. This generalizes the well-known concept of the surface $γ$-oscillation in deformed nuclei built on the ground-state in even-even systems to $γ$-bands based on quasiparticle configurations in odd-mass systems.

description: The Infra-Red Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) is one of the three first light instruments for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) and is the only one to directly sample the diffraction limit. The instrument consists of a parallel imager and off-axis Integral Field Spectrograph (IFS) for optimum use of the near infrared (0.84um-2.4um) Adaptive Optics corrected focal surface. We present an overview of the IRIS spectrograph that is designed to probe a range of scientific targets from the dynamics and morphology of high-z galaxies to studying the atmospheres and surfaces of solar system objects, the latter requiring a narrow field and high Strehl performance. The IRIS spectrograph is a hybrid system consisting of two state of the art IFS technologies providing four plate scales (4mas, 9mas, 25mas, 50mas spaxel sizes). We present the design of the unique hybrid system that combines the power of a lenslet spectrograph and image slicer spectrograph in a configuration where major hardware is shared. The result is a powerful yet economical solution to what would otherwise require two separate 30m-class instruments.
