description: By measuring a linear response function directly, such as the dynamic susceptibility, one can understand fundamental material properties. However, a fresh perspective can be offered by studying fluctuations. This can be related back to the dynamic susceptibility through the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, which relates the fluctuations in a system to its response, an alternate route to access the physics of a material. Here, we describe a new x-ray tool for material characterization that will offer an opportunity to uncover new physics in quantum materials using this theorem. We provide details of the method and discuss the requisite analysis techniques in order to capitalize on the potential to explore an uncharted region of phase space. This is followed by recent results on a topological chiral magnet, together with a discussion of current work in progress. We provide a perspective on future measurements planned for work in unconventional superconductivity.

description: We present deep Keck/MOSFIRE $H$-band spectroscopic observations covering the [CIII],CIII]$λ\lambda1907,1909$ doublet for three $z\sim8$ galaxy candidates in the AEGIS field. Along with non-detections in two galaxies, we obtain one of the highest-redshift detections to-date of [CIII]$λ1907$ for the galaxy AEGIS-33376, finding $z_{\rm spec}=7.945\pm0.001$. We measure a [CIII]$λ$1907 flux of $2.24\pm0.71\times10^{-18} \mbox{ erg}\mbox{ s}^{-1} \mbox{ cm}^{-2}$, corresponding to a rest-frame equivalent width of $20.3\pm6.5 \unicode{x212B}$ for the single line. Given the not very constraining upper limit for CIII]$λ1909$ based on strong sky-line contamination, we assume a [CIII]$λ$1907/CIII]$λ1909$ doublet ratio of 1.5 and infer a total [CIII],CIII]$λ\lambda1907,1909$ equivalent width of $33.7\pm 10.8 \unicode{x212B}$. We repeat the same reductions and analysis on multiple subsets of our raw data divided on the basis of time and observing conditions, verifying that the [CIII]$λ1907$ emission is present for AEGIS-33376 throughout our observations. We also confirm that the significance of the [CIII]$λ1907$ detection in different subsets of our data tracks that of brighter emission features detected on the same multi-slit mask. These multiple tests suggest that the observed emission line is real and associated with the $z\sim 8$ target. The strong observed [CIII],CIII]$λ\lambda1907,1909$ in AEGIS-33376 likely indicates ISM conditions of low metallicity, high ionization parameter, and a hard ionizing spectrum, although AGN contributions are possible. This single detection represents a sizable increase in the current sample [CIII],CIII]$λ\lambda1907,1909$ detections at $z>7$, while $\textit{JWST}$ will provide the first statistical samples of such measurements at these redshifts.

description: In this paper we present an improved process for producing elastomer transistor stamps and high-mobility organic field-effect transistors (FETs) based on semiconducting acene molecular crystals. In particular, we have removed the need to use a silanized Si wafer for curing the stamps and to handle a fragile micron-thickness polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) insulating film and laminate it, bubble free, against the PDMS transistor stamp. We find that despite the altered design, rougher PDMS surface, and lamination and measurement of the device in air, we still achieve electrical mobilities of order 10 cm^2/Vs, comparable to the current state of the art in organic FETs. Our device shows hole conduction with a threshold voltage of order -9V, which corresponds to a trap density of 1.4 x 10^10 cm^-2.

Biochemical models for biological excess phosphorus removal from wastewater
Creators: name: Comeau, Yves
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The objectives of this research were to propose some biochemical models that would explain the basic mechanisms of biological excess phosphorus removal from wastewater, and to provide selected experimental confirmations of the proposed models. The models postulated had to be based on the observations available from the literature as well as to be consistent with principles of bacterial biochemistry and microbiology. The phenomena of phosphate release and uptake were explained by the role of carbon substrates being stored anaerobically as poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), and by the aerobic utilization of PHB for energy production. It was postulated that under anaerobic conditions (in absence of both free oxygen and nitrate), substrates such as acetate would diffuse in cells and de-energize the membrane. Bacteria that had polyphosphate reserves could re-energize their membrane by neutral phosphate expulsion, thus causing a net ejection of protons. Speculations on the possible role of polyphosphate as an anaerobic energy source were provided. The experimentation involved preliminary technique development, and batch testing under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The effect of the addition of acetate, nitrate, and 2,4-dinitrophenol (a toxicant) and of various pH's on phosphate release were also studied. The following observations were made from the experimentation. The expected role for PHB was confirmed. Nitrate addition anaerobically resulted in phosphate uptake. Potassium, magnesium, and calcium were found to be co-transported with phosphate. Under anaerobic conditions, with identical amounts of acetate addition, a higher pH resulted in an increased magnitude of rapid phosphate release. The addition of 2,4-dinitrophenol resulted in a higher degree of anaerobic phosphate release when acetate was added. The postulated models were found to be consistent with most observations from the literature and from this research. From the understanding provided by these models, recommendations were given for efficient approaches to the operation of treatment plants removing phosphorus biologically, and for optimum processes for biological excess phosphorus removal.

description: DualSPHysics is a weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) Navier-Stokes solver initially conceived to deal with coastal engineering problems, especially those related to wave impact with coastal structures. Since the first release back in 2011, DualSPHysics has shown to be robust and accurate for simulating extreme wave events along with a continuous improvement in efficiency thanks to the exploitation of hardware such as graphics processing units (GPUs) for scientific computing or the coupling with wave propagating models such as SWASH and OceanWave3D. Numerous additional functionalities have also been included in the DualSPHysics package over the last few years which allow the simulation of fluid-driven objects. The use of the discrete element method (DEM) has allowed the solver to simulate the interaction among different bodies (sliding rocks, for example), which provides a unique tool to analyse debris flows. In addition, the recent coupling with other solvers like Project Chrono or MoorDyn has been a milestone in the development of the solver. Project Chrono allows the simulation of articulated structures with joints, hinges, sliders and springs and MoorDyn allows simulating moored structures. Both functionalities make DualSPHysics one of the meshless model world leaders in the simulation of offshore energy harvesting devices. Lately, the present state of maturity of the solver goes beyond single phase simulations, allowing multi-phase simulations with gas-liquid and a combination of Newtonian and non-Newtonian models expanding further the capabilities and range of applications for the DualSPHysics solver. These advances and functionalities make DualSPHysics a state-of-the-art meshless solver with emphasis on free-surface flow modelling.

description: Higher-order perturbative calculations in Quantum (Field) Theory suffer from the factorial increase of the number of individual diagrams. Here I describe an approach which evaluates the total contribution numerically for finite temperature from the cumulant expansion of the corresponding observable followed by an extrapolation to zero temperature. This method (originally proposed by Bogolyubov and Plechko) is applied to the calculation of higher-order terms for the ground-state energy of the polaron. Using state-of-the-art multidimensional integration routines two new coefficients are obtained corresponding to a four- and five-loop calculation. Several analytical and numerical procedures have been implemented which were crucial for obtaining reliable results.

description: Based on the reciprocity theorem, we put forward a generalized parametric space for an arbitrary transfer matrix with parity time (PT) symmetry. Through this space, one can extract complete information involving PT phases, reflectances, transmittance and known extraordinary scattering phenomena. We demonstrate a PT heterostructure with coherent perfect absorption-lasing, anisotropic transmission resonance, and parity symmetry of reflection coefficients at the frequencies of interest. In addition, with the parametric space and the analytical formula, the corresponding complex dielectric permittivities for a simple PT system made of a gain, a gap, and a loss media in deeply subwavelength is derived to achieve various exotic PT functionality. This work could offer an alternative route to design versatile optical and photonic PT devices.
Structural phases of strained LaAlO3 driven by octahedral tilt instabilities

description: We investigate the effect of epitaxial strain on [001]-oriented LaAlO3 using first-principles density functional calculations. We find a series of structural phase transitions between states characterized by distinct patterns of tilting of the AlO6 octahedra. By tuning the biaxial strain from compressive to tensile, we induce an evolution in the crystal structure in which the tilt axis changes from out-of-plane to in-plane, corresponding to space groups I4/mcm and Imma. We also study the effect of uniaxial relaxation of the usual biaxial epitaxial constraint and explore this as a mechanism for selectively stabilizing different patterns of octahedral tilts.
Passenger distribution functions for small airports
Creators: name: Geddes, Erica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This research looks at one input required for the design and planning of small airports. It investigates the number of passengers expected to use the terminal. Data describing passenger volumes was gathered from airline flight records at eight airports in British Columbia. The volumes were formed into frequency distributions and a theoretical model was found that would best describe the data. The selection of the model was based on the overall fit of the curve (as measured by the Chi-Squared statistic and by visual inspection) and the ability of the model to predict the right hand tail of the observed curve (as measured by the 90th percentile values). Three model distributions were studied: the Normal, the Poisson and the Lognormal. According to the selection criteria, the lognormal distribution was found to be the best model for use in air terminal design.

description: We study a method to cool down the vibration mode of a micro-mechanical beam using a capacitively-coupled superconducting transmission line. The Coulomb force between the transmission line and the beam is determined by the driving microwave on the transmission line and the displacement of the beam. When the frequency of the driving microwave is smaller than that of the transmission line resonator, the Coulomb force can oppose the velocity of the beam. Thus, the beam can be cooled. This mechanism, which may enable to prepare the beam in its quantum ground state of vibration, is feasible under current experimental conditions.

Ensemble Feature Extraction for Multi-Container Quality-Diversity Algorithms
Creators: name: Cazenille, Leo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Neural and Evolutionary Computing (cs.NE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Quality-Diversity algorithms search for large collections of diverse and high-performing solutions, rather than just for a single solution like typical optimisation methods. They are specially adapted for multi-modal problems that can be solved in many different ways, such as complex reinforcement learning or robotics tasks. However, these approaches are highly dependent on the choice of feature descriptors (FDs) quantifying the similarity in behaviour of the solutions. While FDs usually needs to be hand-designed, recent studies have proposed ways to define them automatically by using feature extraction techniques, such as PCA or Auto-Encoders, to learn a representation of the problem from previously explored solutions. Here, we extend these approaches to more complex problems which cannot be efficiently explored by relying only on a single representation but require instead a set of diverse and complementary representations. We describe MC-AURORA, a Quality-Diversity approach that optimises simultaneously several collections of solutions, each with a different set of FDs, which are, in turn, defined automatically by an ensemble of modular auto-encoders. We show that this approach produces solutions that are more diverse than those produced by single-representation approaches.

Mode selection for log transportation on the coastal water of B.C. : a transport-inventory cost model approach
Creators: name: Sarkar, Ashoke K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Logging and sawmilling are the activities identified with B.C. and are integral parts of its economy. Forestries direct employment is about 72,000 and involves more than 6 billion dollars in economic activity. The annual log production from the coastal forest is about 31 million cubic metres. The mountainous nature of B.C.'s coast line makes the construction of continuous roads and railways difficult, if not impossible. Thus, water transport of logs is most popular way of transporting coastal logs from the logging areas to the consuming mills. There are three principal methods of moving logs on water along the coast: flat raft, bundle boom, and log barge or log ship. Each mode has its own advantages and disadvantages. Flat rafts and bundle booms do not need high initial capital investment, but because of slow speed of travel and dependency on weather condition, time taken to cover the distances are very high and sometimes unpredictable. Whereas, a log barge or a log ship requires a high capital investment, but its speed is high and is almost independent of adverse weather conditions, thus, time of travel is low. This study considers a simple problem of economic transport of logs from a single source (sorting yard) to a single destination (mill). The problem is named as a transport - inventory selection problem', which means the selection of the mode of transport from the available modes in order to minimize the sum of the yearly transportation and inventory costs. Depending on the availability of suitable data and capacities, five different modes of transport have been considered in this study. They are: flat raft, bundle boom, log barge of capacity 15,000 tons, log ships of capacities 10,000 and 15,000 tons. The study shows that different modes give minimum total costs depending on their capacities, the distance between the source and the destination, and the type of log being transported.

description: Reussinella nom. nov.
 Gender: feminine.
 Diagnosis. Colony encrusting, unilaminar, multiserial. Zooids with an extensive granular cryptocyst, somewhat convex except for area proximal to orifice, with sparse marginal foramina. Gymnocyst vestigial, represented by exceedingly thin marginal strip interzooidally. Opesia small, roundly triangular, the operculum smaller than the opesia but of the same length and parallel-sided. A pair of very short oral spines present, with cuticularised bases, retained in ovicelled zooids. No avicularia. Ovicell subimmersed in cryptocyst of originating zooid but frontally prominent, surface granular and transversely ridged, not closed by zooidal operculum. Interzooidal communication via basal pore-chambers.
 Remarks. The family attribution of this genus is not straightforward. Kluge (1922) conservatively included Reussina in the Membraniporidae as traditionally circumscribed, part of which would today correspond to the Calloporidae. In parallel, Taylor & McKinney (2006) provisionally included Euritina, to which Osburn (1950) attributed the type species, in the Calloporidae [cf. Bassler (1934), who included Euritina in the Alderinidae, a family considered synonymous with Calloporidae]; Euritina species have much larger opesiae than in R. arctica and thus can compared with calloporid genera like Amphiblestrum. On the other hand, related calloporid genera like Ammatophora and Rhamphonotus have smaller opesiae and indeed bear comparison with Reussinella arctica. Osburn (1950), on the other hand, included the species in the microporoidean family Aspidostomatidae, and indeed there are a number of morphological similarities. On balance, Reussinella is here provisionally included in the Microporidae. Not only is the opesia small (though not yet fully corresponding to the orifice/operculum in size, but the sparse marginal pores ― unknown in calloporids and aspidostomatids ― appear to be opesiules. They were not noted by previous workers.

description: We propose an alternative to the usual time--independent Born--Oppenheimer approximation that is specifically designed to describe molecules with non--symmetrical hydrogen bonds. In our approach, the masses of the hydrogen nuclei are scaled differently from those of the heavier nuclei, and we employ a specialized form for the electron energy level surface. As a result, the different vibrational modes appear at different orders of approximation. Although we develop a general theory, our analysis is motivated by an examination of the F H Cl- ion. We describe our results for it in detail. We prove the existence of quasimodes and quasienergies for the nuclear vibrational and rotational motion to arbitrary order in the Born--Oppenheimer parameter epsilon. When the electronic motion is also included, we provide simple formulas for the quasienergies up to order epsilon cubed that compare well with experiment and numerical results.

description: We compare the characteristics of flare-accelerated energetic electrons at the Sun with those injected into interplanetary space. We have identified 17 energetic electron events well-observed with the SEPT instrument aboard STEREO which show a clear association with a hard X-ray (HXR) flare observed with the RHESSI spacecraft. We compare the spectral indices of the RHESSI HXR spectra with those of the interplanetary electrons. Because of the frequent double-power-law shape of the in situ electron spectra, we paid special attention to the choice of the spectral index used for comparison. The time difference between the electron onsets and the associated type III and microwave bursts suggests that the electron events are detected at 1 AU with apparent delays ranging from 9 to 41 minutes. While the parent solar activity is clearly impulsive, also showing a high correlation with extreme ultraviolet jets, most of the studied events occur in temporal coincidence with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). In spite of the observed onset delays and presence of CMEs in the low corona, we find a significant correlation of about 0.8 between the spectral indices of the HXR flare and the in situ electrons. The correlations increase if only events with significant anisotropy are considered. This suggests that transport effects can alter the injected spectra leading to a strongly reduced imprint of the flare acceleration. We conclude that interplanetary transport effects must be taken into account when inferring the initial acceleration of solar energetic electron events. Although our results suggest a clear imprint of flare acceleration for the analyzed event sample, a secondary acceleration might be present which could account for the observed delays. However, the limited and variable pitch-angle coverage of SEPT could also be the reason for the observed delays.

description: We prove fluctuation bounds for the particle current in totally asymmetric zero range processes in one dimension with nondecreasing, concave jump rates whose slope decays exponentially. Fluctuations in the characteristic directions have order of magnitude $t^{1/3}$. This is in agreement with the expectation that these systems lie in the same KPZ universality class as the asymmetric simple exclusion process. The result is via a robust argument formulated for a broad class of deposition-type processes. Besides this class of zero range processes, hypotheses of this argument have also been verified in the authors' earlier papers for the asymmetric simple exclusion and the constant rate zero range processes, and are currently under development for a bricklayers process with exponentially increasing jump rates.

description: X-ray emission from the surface of isolated neutron stars (NSs) has been now observed in a variety of sources. The ubiquitous presence of pulsations clearly indicates that thermal photons either come from a limited area, possibly heated by some external mechanism, or from the entire (cooling) surface but with an inhomogeneous temperature distribution. In a NS the thermal map is shaped by the magnetic field topology, since heat flows in the crust mostly along the magnetic field lines. Self-consistent surface thermal maps can hence be produced by simulating the coupled magnetic and thermal evolution of the star. We compute the evolution of the neutron star crust in three dimensions for different initial configurations of the magnetic field and use the ensuing thermal surface maps to derive the spectrum and the pulse profile as seen by an observer at infinity, accounting for general-relativistic effects. In particular, we compare cases with a high degree of symmetry with inherently 3D ones, obtained by adding a quadrupole to the initial dipolar field. Axially symmetric fields result in rather small pulsed fractions ($\lesssim 5\%$), while more complex configurations produce higher pulsed fractions, up to $\sim25\%$. We find that the spectral properties of our axisymmetric model are close to those of the bright isolated NS RX~J1856.5-3754 at an evolutionary time comparable with the inferred dynamical age of the source.

description: Over the last few decades, artificial intelligence research has made tremendous strides, but it still heavily relies on fixed datasets in stationary environments. Continual learning is a growing field of research that examines how AI systems can learn sequentially from a continuous stream of linked data in the same way that biological systems do. Simultaneously, fake media such as deepfakes and synthetic face images have emerged as significant to current multimedia technologies. Recently, numerous method has been proposed which can detect deepfakes with high accuracy. However, they suffer significantly due to their reliance on fixed datasets in limited evaluation settings. Therefore, in this work, we apply continuous learning to neural networks' learning dynamics, emphasizing its potential to increase data efficiency significantly. We propose Continual Representation using Distillation (CoReD) method that employs the concept of Continual Learning (CL), Representation Learning (RL), and Knowledge Distillation (KD). We design CoReD to perform sequential domain adaptation tasks on new deepfake and GAN-generated synthetic face datasets, while effectively minimizing the catastrophic forgetting in a teacher-student model setting. Our extensive experimental results demonstrate that our method is efficient at domain adaptation to detect low-quality deepfakes videos and GAN-generated images from several datasets, outperforming the-state-of-art baseline methods.

description: Given an image or a video captured from a monocular camera, amodal layout estimation is the task of predicting semantics and occupancy in bird's eye view. The term amodal implies we also reason about entities in the scene that are occluded or truncated in image space. While several recent efforts have tackled this problem, there is a lack of standardization in task specification, datasets, and evaluation protocols. We address these gaps with AutoLay, a dataset and benchmark for amodal layout estimation from monocular images. AutoLay encompasses driving imagery from two popular datasets: KITTI and Argoverse. In addition to fine-grained attributes such as lanes, sidewalks, and vehicles, we also provide semantically annotated 3D point clouds. We implement several baselines and bleeding edge approaches, and release our data and code.

description: The osteogenic and angiogenic responses to metal macroporous scaffolds coated with silicon substituted hydroxyapatite (SiHA) and decorated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Ti6Al4V-ELI scaffolds were prepared by electron beam melting and subsequently coated with Ca10(PO4)5.6(SiO4)0.4(OH)1.6 following a dip coating method. In vitro studies demonstrated that SiHA stimulates the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblastic cells, whereas the adsorption of VEGF stimulates the proliferation of EC2 mature endothelial cells. In vivo studies were carried out in an osteoporotic sheep model, evidencing that only the simultaneous presence of both components led to a significant increase of new tissue formation in osteoporotic bone.

description: We focus on studying the opacity of iron, chromium, and nickel plasmas at conditions relevant to experiments carried out at Sandia National Laboratories [J. E. Bailey et al., Nature 517, 56 (2015)]. We calculate the photo-absorption cross-sections and subsequent opacity for plasmas using linear response time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). Our results indicate that the physics of channel mixing accounted for in linear response TD-DFT leads to an increase in the opacity in the bound-free quasi-continuum, where the Sandia experiments indicate that models under-predict iron opacity. However, the increase seen in our calculations is only in the range of 5-10%. Further, we do not see any change in this trend for chromium and nickel. This behavior indicates that channel mixing effects do not explain the trends in opacity observed in the Sandia experiments.

description: Two dozens of radio loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have been observed with Urumqi 25 m radio telescope in order to search for intra-day variability (IDV). The target sources are blazars (namely flat spectrum radio quasars and BL Lac objects) which are mostly selected from the observing list of RadioAstron AGN monitoring campaigns. The observations were carried out at 4.8 GHz in two sessions of 8-12 February 2014 and 7-9 March respectively. We report the data reduction and the first results of observations. The results show that the majority of the blazars exhibit IDV in 99.9% confidence level, some of them show quite strong IDV. We find the strong IDV of blazar 1357 + 769 for the first time. The IDV at centimeter-wavelength is believed to be predominately caused by the scintillation of blazar emission through the local interstellar medium in a few hundreds parsecs away from Sun. No significant correlation between the IDV strength and either redshift or Galactic latitude is found in our sample. The IDV timescale along with source structure and brightness temperature analysis will be presented in a forthcoming paper.

Production of high energy particles in laser and Coulomb fields and e^+e^- antenna

description: A strong laser field and the Coulomb field of a nucleus can produce e^{+}e^{-} pairs. It is shown for the first time that there is a large probability that electrons and positrons created in this process collide after one or several oscillations of the laser field. These collisions can take place at high energy resulting in several phenomena. The quasielastic collision e^{+}e^{-} -> e^{+}e^{-} allows acceleration of leptons in the laser field to higher energies. The inelastic collisions allow production of high energy photons e^{+}e^{-}-> 2 gamma and muons, e^{+}e^{-} -> mu^{+}mu^{-}. The yield of high-energy photons and muons produced via this mechanism exceeds exponentially their production through conventional direct creation in laser and Coulomb fields. A relation of the phenomena considered with the antenna-mechanism of multiphoton absorption in atoms is discussed.
