description: Amongst the class of supergravity solutions found by Lin, Lunin and Maldacena, we consider pure and mixed state configurations generated by phase space densities in the dual fermionic picture. A one-to-one map is constructed between the phase space densities and piecewise monotonic curves, which generalize the Young diagrams corresponding to pure states. Within the fermionic phase space picture, a microscopic formula for the entropy of mixed states is proposed. Considering thermal ensembles, agreement is found between the thermodynamic and the proposed microscopic entropies. Furthermore, we study fluctuations in thermodynamic ensembles for the superstar and compare the entropy of these ensembles with the area of stretched horizons predicted by the mean fluctuation size.

Airline yield management : a dynamic seat allocation model
Creators: name: Sun, Xiao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Suppose an airplane has a seat capacity of C, we have time T left before the airplane will take off, the fare structure is given, and the arrival process of booking requests is stochastic, we want to know if there is an optimal policy to control booking process in order to maximize total expected revenue from this particular airplane. We formulate the problem as a continuous time Markov decision problem. Under certain conditions the existence and some of the properties of an optimal policy are shown. In the case where the arrival process is a nonhomogenous Poisson it is shown that the optimal policy has a very simple structure and that an e-optimal policy can be easily computed. It is also shown that in general 'Littlewood-type' formula, even being used continuously overtime, does not protect enough seats for full fare passengers and results in less total revenue.

description: We discuss the serendipitous discovery of an extremely metal poor galaxy, SDSS 0809+1729, classified as a star in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The galaxy has a redshift z = 0.0441 and a B-band absolute magnitude M_B = -17.1. With a metallicity of log(O/H)+12~7.44 or ~1/20 solar, this galaxy is among the 10 most metal poor emission-line galaxies known. SDSS 0809+1729 is a blue compact galaxy (BCG) with a stellar age of ~4.5 Myr, a star formation rate of 0.18 Msun/yr, and a large gas-phase electron density ~367/cm^3. Similar values of these parameters are common among other extremely metal poor galaxies, including IZw18. SDSS 0809+1729 is, however, unusual among BCGs because it lies in the same region of the luminosity-metallicity diagram as the two lowest metallicity long duration gamma ray burst (GRB) hosts. For a given B-band luminosity, both nearby GRB hosts and SDSS 0809+1729 have systematically lower metallicities than dwarf irregulars, the majority of BCGs, and normal star-forming galaxies. Because the star formation properties of SDSS 0809+1729 are similar to nearby long duration GRB hosts, SDSS 0809+1729 may be a potential GRB host. Identification of larger samples of similar extremely metal poor objects may provide important insights into the conditions required to produce long duration GRBs.

description: A sequential decision process in which an adaptive radar system repeatedly interacts with a finite-state target channel is studied. The radar is capable of passively sensing the spectrum at regular intervals, which provides side information for the waveform selection process. The radar transmitter uses the sequence of spectrum observations as well as feedback from a collocated receiver to select waveforms which accurately estimate target parameters. It is shown that the waveform selection problem can be effectively addressed using a linear contextual bandit formulation in a manner that is both computationally feasible and sample efficient. Stochastic and adversarial linear contextual bandit models are introduced, allowing the radar to achieve effective performance in broad classes of physical environments. Simulations in a radar-communication coexistence scenario, as well as in an adversarial radar-jammer scenario, demonstrate that the proposed formulation provides a substantial improvement in target detection performance when Thompson Sampling and EXP3 algorithms are used to drive the waveform selection process. Further, it is shown that the harmful impacts of pulse-agile behavior on coherently processed radar data can be mitigated by adopting a time-varying constraint on the radar's waveform catalog.

Assuming it continues to behave like a cosmological constant $Λ$ on much smaller scales, I discuss its effects on the motion of non-relativistic test-particles in a weak gravitational field and I propose a way to detect evidences of $Λ\neq 0$ at the scale of about 1 Mpc: the main ingredient is the measurement of galaxy cluster masses.

description: We report the existence of a localization-delocalization transition in the classical plasma modes of a one dimensional Wigner Crystal with a white noise potential environment at T=0. Finite size scaling analysis reveals a divergence of the localization length at a critical eigenfrequency. Further scaling analysis indicates power law behavior of the critical frequency in terms of the relative interaction strength of the charges. A heuristic argument for this scaling behavior is consistent with the numerical results. Additionally, we explore a particular realization of random-bond disorder in a one dimensional Wigner lattice in which all of the collective modes are observed to be localized.

description: This paper studies a shape optimization problem which reduces to a nonlocal free boundary problem involving perimeter. It is motivated by a study of liquid crystal droplets with a tangential anchoring boundary condition and a volume constraint. We establish in 2D the existence of an optimal shape that has two cusps on the boundary. We also prove the boundary of the droplet is a chord-arc curve with its normal vector field in the VMO space. In fact, the boundary curves of such droplets belong to the so-called Weil-Petersson class. In addition, the asymptotic behavior of the optimal shape when the volume becomes extremely large or small is also studied.

Effect of deuteron breakup on the deuteron-$Ξ$ correlation function

description: The hadron-deuteron correlation function has attracted many interests as a potential method to access the three-hadron interactions. However, the weakly-bound nature of deuteron has not been considered in the preceding studies. In this study, the breakup effect of deuteron on the deuteron-$Ξ^-$ ($d$-$Ξ^-$) correlation function $C_{dΞ^-}$ is investigated. The $d$-$Ξ^-$ scattering is described by a nucleon-nucleon-$Ξ$ three-body reaction model. The continuum-discretized coupled-channels method, which is a fully quantum-mechanical and non-perturbative reaction model, is adopted. $C_{dΞ^-}$ turns out to be sensitive to the strong interaction and enhanced by the deuteron breakup effect by 6--8 % for the $d$-$Ξ^-$ relative momentum below about 70 MeV/$c$. Low-lying neutron-neutron continuum states are responsible for this enhancement. Within the adopted model, the deuteron breakup effect on $C_{dΞ^-}$ is found to be appreciable but not very significant. Except for the enhancement by several percent, studies on $C_{dΞ^-}$ without the deuteron breakup effect can be justified.

description: The Natural Language Processing task we focus on in this thesis is Geoparsing. Geoparsing is the process of extraction and grounding of toponyms (place names). Consider this sentence: "The victims of the Spanish earthquake off the coast of Malaga were of American and Mexican origin." Four toponyms will be extracted (called Geotagging) and grounded to their geographic coordinates (called Toponym Resolution). However, our research goes further than any previous work by showing how to distinguish the literal place(s) of the event (Spain, Malaga) from other linguistic types/uses such as nationalities (Mexican, American), improving downstream task accuracy. We consolidate and extend the Standard Evaluation Framework, discuss key research problems, then present concrete solutions in order to advance each stage of geoparsing. For geotagging, as well as training a SOTA neural Location-NER tagger, we simplify Metonymy Resolution with a novel minimalist feature extraction combined with an LSTM-based classifier, matching SOTA results. For toponym resolution, we deploy the latest deep learning methods to achieve SOTA performance by augmenting neural models with hitherto unused geographic features called Map Vectors. With each research project, we provide high-quality datasets and system prototypes, further building resources in this field. We then show how these geoparsing advances coupled with our proposed Intra-Document Analysis can be used to associate news articles with locations in order to monitor the spread of public health threats. To this end, we evaluate our research contributions with production data from a real-time downstream application to improve geolocation of news events for disease monitoring. The data was made available to us by the Joint Research Centre (JRC), which operates one such system called MediSys that processes incoming news articles in order to monitor threats to public health and make these available to a variety of governmental, business and non-profit organisations. We also discuss steps towards an end-to-end, automated news monitoring system and make actionable recommendations for future work. In summary, the thesis aims are twofold: (1) Generate original geoparsing research aimed at advancing each stage of the pipeline by addressing pertinent challenges with concrete solutions and actionable proposals. (2) Demonstrate how this research can be applied to news event monitoring to increase the efficacy of existing biosurveillance systems, e.g. European Commission’s MediSys.

Segmented regression modelling with an application to German exchange rate data
Creators: name: Susko, Edward Andrew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Segmented regression models are the topic of this thesis. These are regression models in which the mean response is thought to be linear in the explanatory variables within regions of a particular explanatory variable. A criterion for estimating the number of segments in a segmented model is given and the consistency of this estimator is established under rather general conditions. There have been many studies on modeling and forecasting foreign exchange rates using various models, notably the random walk model, the forward rate model, monetary models and vector autoregressions, see, for example, Meese and Rogoff (1983) and Baillie and McMahon (1989). The general conclusions have been that most of the models cannot outperform the random walk model by a significant margin. The observation that the dependence of the exchange rate on the key macroeconomic indicators is time varying, nonstationary and nonlinear leads to consideration of nonlinear models. In this thesis segmented models are fitted to German exchange rate data using least squares and forecasting results obtained from these models are compared with forecasting results from widely used models in exchange rate prediction. The segmented models tend to perform better than models that have been established in the literature, notably, the random walk model.

description: We study the Page curve and the island rule for black holes evaporating into gravitating baths, with an eye towards establishing a connection with the ER=EPR proposal. We consider several models of two entangled 2d black holes in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity with negative cosmological constant. The first, "doubled PSSY," model is one in which the black holes have end-of-the-world (ETW) branes with a flavour degree of freedom. We study highly entangled states of this flavour degree of freedom and find an entanglement-induced Hawking-Page-like transition from a geometry with two disconnected black holes to one with a pair of black holes connected by a wormhole, thus realising the ER = EPR proposal. The second model is a dynamical one in which the ETW branes do not have internal degrees of freedom but the JT gravity is coupled to a 2d CFT, and we entangle the black holes by coupling the two CFTs at the $AdS$ boundary and evolving for a long time. We study the entanglement entropy between the two black holes and find that the story is substantially similar to that with a non-gravitating thermal bath. In the third model, we couple the two ends of a two-sided eternal black hole and evolve for a long time. Finally, we discuss the possibility of a Hawking-Page-like transition induced by real-time evolution that realises the ER = EPR proposal in this dynamical setting.

Experimental tests to probe such possibilities are within reach in the near future.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We show that a metastable dark matter candidate arises naturally from the conformal transformation between the Einstein metric, where gravitons are normalised states, and the Jordan metric dictating the coupling between gravity and matter. Despite being secluded from the Standard Model by a large scale above which the Jordan metric shows modifications to the Einstein frame metric, dark matter couples to the energy momentum tensor of the Higgs field in the primordial plasma primarily. This allows for the production of dark matter in a sufficient amount which complies with observations. The seclusion of dark matter makes it long-lived for masses $\lesssim 1$ MeV, with a lifetime much above the age of the Universe and the present experimental limits. Such a dark matter scenario has clear monochromatic signatures generated by the decay of the dark matter candidate into neutrino and/or $γ-$rays.

description: The breakup of the shearless invariant torus with winding number $ω=\sqrt{2}-1$ is studied numerically using Greene's residue criterion in the standard nontwist map. The residue behavior and parameter scaling at the breakup suggests the existence of a new fixed point of the renormalization group operator (RGO) for area-preserving maps. The unstable eigenvalues of the RGO at this fixed point and the critical scaling exponents of the torus at breakup are computed.

description: Advancements in distributed ledger technologies are driving the rise of blockchain-based social media platforms such as Steemit, where users interact with each other in similar ways as conventional social networks. These platforms are autonomously managed by users using decentralized consensus protocols in a cryptocurrency ecosystem. The deep integration of social networks and blockchains in these platforms provides potential for numerous cross-domain research studies that are of interest to both the research communities. However, it is challenging to process and analyze large volumes of raw Steemit data as it requires specialized skills in both software engineering and blockchain systems and involves substantial efforts in extracting and filtering various types of operations. To tackle this challenge, we collect over 38 million blocks generated in Steemit during a 45 month time period from 2016/03 to 2019/11 and extract ten key types of operations performed by the users. The results generate SteemOps, a new dataset that organizes more than 900 million operations from Steemit into three sub-datasets namely (i) social-network operation dataset (SOD), (ii) witness-election operation dataset (WOD) and (iii) value-transfer operation dataset (VOD). We describe the dataset schema and its usage in detail and outline possible future research studies using SteemOps. SteemOps is designed to facilitate future research aimed at providing deeper insights on emerging blockchain-based social media platforms.

description: Aim of this thesis paper is to present a number of Designs of Experiments, which allow us to study the effects of two or more factors on the variables of the experiments that we conduct. The Screening Experiments are examples of experiments which indicate the importance and the necessity of the use of Factorial Designs. The study of as many factors as possible in the performance of an experiment, using the least conductions possible in order to achieve the minimum cost, led to the construction of Supersaturated Factorial Designs. Supersaturated Designs are of great importance as they manage to examine a wide variety of factors, using a relatively small number of experimental conductions. The study of this specific field is still in process, so further research could be done in the future. In this thesis paper, various constructive methods developed throughout the years, and methods of Analysis of Supersaturated Designs are presented

description: The geometrical approximation of the extended Maxwell equation in curved spacetime incorporating interactions induced by the vacuum polarization effects is considered. Taking into account these QED interactions and employing the analogy between eikonal equation in geometrical optics and Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the particle motion, we study the phase structure of the modified theory. There is a complicated, local induced phase which is believed to be responsible for the modification of the classical picture of light ray. The main features of QGO could be obtained through the study of this induced phase. We discuss initial principles in conventional and modified geometrical optics and compare the results.

description: In this dissertation, we are talking about the pseudorandom numbers and the statistical tests that their results have to be presented so that they meet certain characteristics for being able to be used in cryptographic applications. Initially, it is emphasized in a probabilistic method that manages to distinguish whether a generator produces truly random or pseudo-random numbers and in particular bits. It is noted that the basic property that determines the independence of the binary sequence of numbers and the lack of possibility of predicting the next binary bit knowing the foregoing is entropy and the fact that the markovian property is satisfied. In addition, two specific generators, Blum Blum Shub as well as the Linear Congruential Method, are emphasized. From the results of the first parent I create a random key length as long as the length of a clean text and by applying the one-way pad we encrypt a message

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η αποτίμηση της φθοράς του μνημείου από την ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Στην παρούσα εργασία πραγματοποιήθηκε δειγματοληψία 13 δειγμάτων από διάφορα σημεία του μνημείου. Ο προσδιορισμός των ιχνοστοιχείων έγινε με σύστημα φασματομετρίας μάζας με πηγή επαγωγικά συζευγμένου πλάσματος (ICP-MS), ενώ των ιοντικών συστατικών με ιοντική χρωματογραφία (IC). Οι συγκεντρώσεις As, Zn, Pb και Cu ήταν σημαντικά υψηλότερες στις σωματιδιακές επικαθήσεις από ό,τι στην κρούστα σε αντίθεση με Fe, Co, Ni που ήταν στα ίδια επίπεδα. Όλα τα ιχνοστοιχεία, εκτός από τον Pb που έχει μεγαλύτερη συγκέντρωση στον Βόρειο πεσσό, βρέθηκαν σε μεγαλύτερη συγκέντρωση στον Νότιο πεσσό. Τα ιχνοστοιχεία Pb, Zn, Cu που σχετίζονται με τις εκπομπές από την κυκλοφορία είναι σε σημαντικά υψηλότερες συγκεντρώσεις στα δείγματα χαμηλού ύψους. Οι συγκεντρώσεις των νιτρικών, θειικών, χλωριούχων και οξικών ιόντων ήταν σημαντικά υψηλότερες στις σωματιδιακές επικαθήσεις από ό,τι στην κρούστα, σε αντίθεση με εκείνες των φορμικών που ήταν στα ίδια επίπεδα. Όλα τα ιόντα είναι σε μεγαλύτερη συγκέντρωση στον Βόρειο πεσσό. Επιπλέον, όλα σχεδόν τα ιόντα είναι σε σχετικά υψηλότερες συγκεντρώσεις στα δείγματα χαμηλού ύψους με εξαίρεση τα θειικά που οι συγκεντρώσεις τους είναι σχετικά υψηλότερες στα δείγματα μεγάλου ύψους.
description: The aim of the present thesis was to evaluate the deterioration of the monument due to atmospheric pollution in Thessaloniki. In the present study, 13 samples were taken from various points of the monument. The trace element was determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and the ionic components by ionic chromatography (IC). The concentrations of As, Zn, Pb, and Cu were significantly higher in particle deposits than in the black crust as opposed to Fe, Co, Ni that were at the same level. All trace elements, except Pb, which has a higher concentration in the North Pillar, were found to have a higher concentration in the Southern Pillar. Pb, Zn, Cu trace elements associated with circulatory emissions are significantly higher in low altitude samples. Concentrations of nitrate, sulphate, chloride and acetate were significantly higher in particulate matter than in the crust, as opposed to those of formates at the same levels. All ions are at a higher concentration in the North Pillar. In addition, all ions are at relatively higher concentrations in low altitude samples except for sulphates whose concentrations are relatively higher in high altitude samples.
A New bound on CP Violation in the $τ$ Lepton Yukawa Coupling and electroweak baryogenesis

description: The origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe is a fundamental question of physics. Electroweak baryogenesis is a compelling scenario for explaining it but it requires beyond the Standard Model sources of the CP symmetry violation. The simplest possibility is CP violation in the third generation fermion Higgs couplings, widely investigated theoretically and searched for experimentally. It has been found that the experimental bounds on the CP violation in the quark Yukawa couplings exclude their significant role in the electroweak baryogenesis, but it can be still played by the $τ$ lepton Yukawa coupling. It is shown in this paper that, within the context of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory and assuming an underlying flavour symmetry of the Wilson coefficients, the electron dipole moment bound on the $τ$ lepton Yukawa coupling is two orders of magnitude stronger than previously reported. This sheds strong doubts on its role in the electroweak baryogenesis, further stimulates the interest in its experimental verification and makes electroweak baryogenesis even more difficult to explain.

Fermi surface studies of a non-trivial topological compound YSi

description: The Fermi surface properties of a nontrivial system YSi is investigated by de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillation measurements combined with the first-principle calculations. Three main frequencies ($α$, $β$, $γ$) are probed up to $14$~T magnetic field in dHvA oscillations. The $α$-branch corresponding to $21$~T frequency possesses non-trivial topological character with $π$ Berry phase and a linear dispersion along $Γ$ to $Z$ direction with a small effective mass of $0.069~m_e$ with second-lowest Landau-level up to $14$~T. For $B~\parallel$~[010] direction, the 295~T frequency exhibits non-trivial $2D$ character with $1.24π$ Berry phase and a high Fermi velocity of $6.7 \times 10^5$~ms$^{-1}$. The band structure calculations reveal multiple nodal crossings in the vicinity of Fermi energy $E_f$ without spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Inclusion of SOC opens a small gap in the nodal crossings and results in nonsymmorphic symmetry enforced Dirac points at some high symmetry points, suggesting YSi to be a symmetry enforced topological metal.

description: Human personality traits are the key drivers behind our decision-making, influencing our life path on a daily basis. Inference of personality traits, such as Myers-Briggs Personality Type, as well as an understanding of dependencies between personality traits and users' behavior on various social media platforms is of crucial importance to modern research and industry applications. The emergence of diverse and cross-purpose social media avenues makes it possible to perform user personality profiling automatically and efficiently based on data represented across multiple data modalities. However, the research efforts on personality profiling from multi-source multi-modal social media data are relatively sparse, and the level of impact of different social network data on machine learning performance has yet to be comprehensively evaluated. Furthermore, there is not such dataset in the research community to benchmark. This study is one of the first attempts towards bridging such an important research gap. Specifically, in this work, we infer the Myers-Briggs Personality Type indicators, by applying a novel multi-view fusion framework, called "PERS" and comparing the performance results not just across data modalities but also with respect to different social network data sources. Our experimental results demonstrate the PERS's ability to learn from multi-view data for personality profiling by efficiently leveraging on the significantly different data arriving from diverse social multimedia sources. We have also found that the selection of a machine learning approach is of crucial importance when choosing social network data sources and that people tend to reveal multiple facets of their personality in different social media avenues. Our released social multimedia dataset facilitates future research on this direction.

description: We present Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) observations at 24 and 70 microns for 30 stars, and at 160 microns for a subset of 12 stars, in the nearby (~30 pc), young (~12 Myr) Beta Pictoris Moving Group (BPMG). In several cases, the new MIPS measurements resolve source confusion and background contamination issues in the IRAS data for this sample. We find that 7 members have 24 micron excesses, implying a debris disk fraction of 23%, and that at least 11 have 70 micron excesses (disk fraction of >=37%). Five disks are detected at 160 microns (out of a biased sample of 12 stars observed), with a range of 160/70 flux ratios. The disk fraction at 24 and 70 microns, and the size of the excesses measured at each wavelength, are both consistent with an "inside-out" infrared excess decrease with time, wherein the shorter-wavelength excesses disappear before longer-wavelength excesses, and consistent with the overall decrease of infrared excess frequency with stellar age, as seen in Spitzer studies of other young stellar groups. Assuming that the infrared excesses are entirely due to circumstellar disks, we characterize the disk properties using simple models and fractional infrared luminosities. Optically thick disks, seen in the younger TW Hya and eta Cha associations, are entirely absent in the BPMG. Additional flux density measurements at 24 and 70 microns are reported for nine Tucanae-Horologium Association member stars. Since this is <20% of the association membership, limited analysis on the complete disk fraction of this association is possible.

description: We present an analytic model for the splashback mass function of dark matter halos, which is parameterized by a single coefficient and constructed in the framework of the generalized excursion set theory and the self-similar spherical infall model. The value of the single coefficient that quantifies the diffusive nature of the splashback boundary is determined at various redshifts by comparing the model with the numerical results from the Erebos N-body simulations for the Planck and the WMAP7 cosmologies. Showing that the analytic model with the best-fit coefficient provides excellent matches to the numerical results in the mass range of $5\le M/(10^{12}h^{-1}\,M_{\odot})< 10^{3}$, we employ the Bayesian and Akaike Information Criterion tests to confirm that our model is most preferred by the numerical results to the previous models at redshifts of $0.3\le z\le 3$ for both of the cosmologies. It is also found that the diffusion coefficient decreases almost linearly with redshifts, converging to zero at a certain threshold redshift, $z_{c}$, whose value significantly differs between the Planck and WMAP7 cosmologies. Our result implies that the splashback mass function of dark matter halos at $z\ge z_{c}$ is well described by a parameter-free analytic formula and that $z_{c}$ may have a potential to independently constrain the initial conditions of the universe.
