description: Recurrence plots were introduced to help aid the detection of signals in complicated data series. This effort was furthered by the quantification of recurrence plot elements. We now demonstrate the utility of combining recurrence quantification analysis with principal components analysis to allow for a probabilistic evaluation for the presence of deterministic signals in relatively short data lengths.

description: Natural and biological systems inspire novel approaches to robotic design and control. This thesis applies principles of stochastic mechanics and collective intelligence to develop amorphous robots composed of loosely coupled components, or particles. Like the individual units that constitute many biological structures or swarms, the particles lack a unique identity or specialized function, and they operate without a centralized control. Only through interactions and external conditions do complex behaviors arise. To provide greater scalability and robustness, individual particles are kept simple, capable of a single degree-of-freedom motion that can be modulated; alone they are incapable of directed locomotion. However, by loosely coupling and systematically modulating the particles, the aggregate can migrate as a single entity and adaptively reconfigure when interacting with unfamiliar environments. We call this stochastic formation a particle robot. The particle communication and coordination does not rely on the unique identity or addressable position of individual particles, thereby removing any single point of failure typical of traditional robots. Further, groups of particles may splinter into smaller groups or annex additional particles without catastrophic effects. Through detailed modeling of the interactions and dynamics of the particles and extensive simulations based upon this modeling, the work presented in this thesis characterizes the scalability, robustness, resilience, and adaptability of this paradigm.

description: Anisotropic nanophotonic structures can couple the levels of a quantum emitter through the quantum interference effect. In this paper we study the coupling of quantum emitters excited states through the modes of a fully anisotropic structure: a structure for which all directions are physically nonequivalent. We consider an anisotropic metasurface as an illustrative example of such a structure. We point out a novel degree of freedom in controlling the temporal dynamics and spectral profiles of quantum emitters: namely, we show that a combination of the metasurface anisotropy and tilt of the emitter quantization axis with respect to the metasurface normal results in nonsymmetric dynamics between the transitions of electrons from left-circular state to the right-circular states and the inverse process. Our findings give an additional mechanism for control over the light emission by quantum systems and, vice versa, can be utilized for probing active transitions of quantum emitters.

description: The measurement of ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos (E $>$ \SI{e16}{eV}) opens a new field of astronomy with the potential to reveal the sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays especially if combined with observations in the electromagnetic spectrum and gravitational waves. The ARIANNA pilot detector explores the detection of UHE neutrinos with a surface array of independent radio detector stations in Antarctica which allows for a cost-effective instrumentation of large volumes. Twelve stations are currently operating successfully at the Moore's Bay site (Ross Ice Shelf) in Antarctica and at the South Pole. We will review the current state of ARIANNA and its main results. We report on a newly developed wind generator that successfully operates in the harsh Antarctic conditions and powers the station for a substantial time during the dark winter months. The robust ARIANNA surface architecture, combined with environmentally friendly solar and wind power generators, can be installed at any deep ice location on the planet and operated autonomously. We report on the detector capabilities to determine the neutrino direction by reconstructing the signal arrival direction of a \SI{800}{m} deep calibration pulser, and the reconstruction of the signal polarization using the more abundant cosmic-ray air showers. Finally, we describe a large-scale design -- ARIA -- that capitalizes on the successful experience of the ARIANNA operation and is designed sensitive enough to discover the first UHE neutrino.

Differential results at 14 TeV are presented, and we discuss the implications of anomalous trilinear couplings as well as differences between the PYTHIA 8.2 and HERWIG 7.1 parton showers in combination with POWHEG. The implementation of the NLO QCD calculation with variable Higgs boson self-coupling is made publicly available in the POWHEG-BOX-V2 Monte Carlo framework. A simple method for using the new implementation to study also variations of the top quark Yukawa coupling is described.

description: The magnetic behavior of single-crystal Ho$_2$PdSi$_3$, crystallizing in an AlB$_2$-derived hexagonal structure, is investigated by magnetic susceptibility ($χ$) and electrical resistivity ($ρ$) measurements along two directions. There is no dramatic anisotropy in the high temperature Curie-Weiss parameter or in the $ρ$ and isothermal magnetization data, though there is a noticeable anisotropy in the magnitude of $ρ$ between two perpendicular orientations. The degree of anisotropy is overall less prominent than in the Gd (which is an S-state ion!) and Tb analogues. A point of emphasis is that this compound undergoes long range magnetic ordering below 8 K as in the case of analogous Gd and Dy compounds. Considering this fact for these compounds with well-localised f-orbital, the spin glass freezing noted for isomorphous U compounds in the recent literature could be attributed to the role of the f-ligand hybridization, rather than just Pd-Si disorder.

description: We present self-consistent radiation hydrodynamic simulations of hydrogen reionization performed with Arepo-RT complemented by a state-of-the-art galaxy formation model. We examine how photoheating feedback, due to reionization, shapes the galaxies properties. Our fiducial model completes reionization by $z\approx6$ and matches observations of the Ly$α$ forest, the CMB electron scattering optical depth, the high-redshift UV luminosity function, and stellar mass function. Contrary to previous works, photoheating suppresses star formation rates by more than $50\%$ only in halos less massive than $\sim10^{8.4}\ M_\odot$ ($\sim10^{8.8}\ M_\odot$) at $z=6$ $(z=5)$, suggesting inefficient photoheating feedback from photons within galaxies. The use of a uniform UV background that heats up the gas at $z\approx10.7$ generates an earlier onset of suppression of star formation compared to our fiducial model. This discrepancy can be mitigated by adopting a UV background model with a more realistic reionization history. In the absence of stellar feedback, photoheating alone is only able to quench halos less massive than $\sim10^9\ M_\odot$ at $z\gtrsim5$, implying that photoheating feedback is sub-dominant in regulating star formation. In addition, stellar feedback, implemented as a non-local galactic wind scheme in the simulations, weakens the strength of photoheating feedback by reducing the amount of stellar sources. Most importantly, photoheating does not leave observable imprints in the UV luminosity function, stellar mass function, or the cosmic star formation rate density. The feasibility of using these observables to detect imprints of reionization therefore requires further investigation.

description: We study a 1D ring of diffusively coupled logistic maps in the vicinity of an unstable, spatially homogeneous fixed point. The failure of linear controllers due to additive noise is discussed with the aim of clarifying the failure mechanism. A criterion is suggested for estimating the noise level that can be tolerated by the given controller. The criterion implies the loss of control for surprisingly low noise levels in certain cases of interest, and accurately accounts for the results of numerical experiments over a broad range of parameter values. Previous results of Grigoriev, et al (Phys. Rev. Lett., 79, 2795) are reviewed and compared with our numerical and analytical results.

Revegetation restoration for culvert replacement in a wetland

description: Impacts from industrial activities in and near sensitive wetlands and streams receive considerable attention resulting in a wide variety of environmental protection techniques. This paper examines impact mitigation to a small stream (Palmer Bar Creek, East Kootenay) and surrounding wetlands during a train crossing culvert replacement and decommissioning. Prior to the placement of fill and construction of working platforms for heavy equipment, wetland soil was removed and temporarily stockpiled. Once work was complete, the temporary fill was removed and the native soil was replaced. Revegetation of the disturbed areas involved a combination of transplanting species from the immediate undisturbed wetland and planting nursery stock of native species identified in the area. Restoration of the temporary access road included placement of randomly spaced large boulders along the road and seeding with a mixture of agronomic grasses and legumes to reduce overland flow erosion during large rain events. Seeding also reduced the likelihood of noxious weed establishment from the undisturbed upland habitat. The replacement of the stockpiled wetland soil provided an excellent growth medium resulting in 99.5% survival and mean growth of 30 cm for woody species of nursery stock the following year.

description: We consider $κ$-deformed relativistic quantum phase space and possible implementations of the Lorentz algebra. There are two ways of performing such implementations. One is a simple extension where the Poincaré algebra is unaltered, while the other is a general extension where the Poincaré algebra is deformed. As an example we fix the Jordanian twist and the corresponding realization of noncommutative coordinates, coproduct of momenta and addition of momenta. An extension with a one-parameter family of realizations of the Lorentz generators, dilatation and momenta closing the Poincaré-Weyl algebra is considered. The corresponding physical interpretation depends on the way the Lorentz algebra is implemented in phase space. We show how the spectrum of the relativistic hydrogen atom depends on the realization of the generators of the Poincaré-Weyl algebra.

description: Motivated by recent experiments on $^{6}$Li-$^{133}$Cs atomic mixtures with high mass imbalance, we study the Efimov correlation in atomic system of two heavy bosons ($^{133}$Cs) immersed in a bath of light fermions ($^{6}$Li). Using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, we identify two different regimes, depending on the Fermi momentum of light fermions ($k_F$) and the boson-fermion scattering length $a_s(<0)$, where the presence of underlying Fermi sea plays distinct roles in the Efimov-type binding of bosons. Namely, in the regime $k_F|a_s|\lesssim 1$ ($k_F|a_s|\gtrsim1$), the Fermi sea induces an attractive (repulsive) effective interaction between bosons and thus favors (disfavors) the formation of bound state, which can be seen as the Efimov trimer dressed by the fermion cloud. Interestingly, this implies a non-monotonic behavior of these bound states as increasing the fermion density (or $k_F$). Moreover, we establish a generalized universal scaling law for the emergence/variation of such dressed Efimov bound states when incorporating a new scale ($k_F$) brought by the Fermi sea. These results can be directly tested in Li-Cs cold atoms experiment by measuring the modified bound state spectrum and the shifted Efimov resonance, which manifest an emergent non-trivial Efimov correlation in a fermionic many-body environment.

description: Technology is advancing at an astonishing rate and the tools to collect and analyze large amounts of data are now becoming readily available. Urban planners have begun to utilize these tools including online surveys for example. The relative newness of such tools begs for best practices for these new methods. These tools have also changed the frame around the conversation of inclusion and democratic planning in this modern era. Two planning methodologies from prominent documents are compared and contrasted in this research study. The Second Regional Plan by the Regional Plan Association in 1967 and the PlaNYC 2030’s policy recommendations by the New York City Mayor’s Office Long-term Planning and Sustainability (OLTPS) in 2010 are the case studies selected. Lastly, the public has been given more access than previously offered by supporting institutions such as the New York Public Library System in New York City and the support has proven to be an effective outlet for bridging the digital divide. Libraries are important places where residents can gain access to the global information society, learn, seek entertainment, and connect with others using the Internet. Urban planning can greatly benefit from understanding Internet usage to give all residents an equal voice in the planning process to meet the goals of true democracy.
Participatory Budgeting in Belo Horizonte, Brazil:  Assessing the Impact of Local Governance on Public Health

Subjects: Public policy (Law)

description: This thesis seeks to answer whether or not the program of participatory budgeting has resulted in improvements in the health and well-being of residents in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in an attempt to understand how city governance may impact population health. Governance is largely expected to impact health by ensuring efficient and equitable distribution of resources across the population, something that participatory budgeting, a program that democratizes the process of city budgeting, has proven to accomplish effectively. By analyzing participatory budgeting's policy design, namely how the program is carried out, as well as its outcomes, or the participatory budgeting projects themselves, this thesis analyzes the impacts of the program on health specifically. This analysis revealed that participatory budgeting is able to impact health by reducing inequalities in income and quality of life and by enhancing social capital in the city, or the ability of a population to work together to achieve communal goals, both of which leaded to improvements in population health. The participatory budgeting projects themselves also improved the health of Belo Horizonte residents by addressing more specific diseases. Investments in city infrastructure addressed infant mortality rates and rates of the vector-borne diseases such as dengue. Investments in health, education, and sports facilities improved control of non-communicable and chronic diseases such as diabetes and improved maternal health. Projects focusing on society and culture, housing, and the environment brought more generalized improvements in health through the building of social capital, the provision of social and economic security, and the expansion of green space in the municipality, respectively. This thesis therefore concludes that city government may positively impact health though effective distribution of needed resources, as well as through policy design that prioritizes the needs of the poor and seeks to build communal action and include public insight in governmental deliberations.

description: Open source cloud technologies provide a wide range of support forcreating customized compute node clusters to schedule tasks andmanaging resources. In cloud infrastructures such asJetstream and Chameleon, which are used for scientific research, usersreceive complete control of the Virtual Machines (VM) that are allocated tothem. Importantly, users get root access to the VMs. This provides anopportunity for HPC users to experiment with new resource managementtechnologies such as Apache Mesos that have proven scalability,flexibility, and fault tolerance. To ease the development anddeployment of HPC tools on the cloud, the containerization technologyhas matured and is gaining interest in the scientific community. Inparticular, several well known scientific code bases now have publiclyavailable Docker containers. While Mesos provides support for Dockercontainers to execute individually, it does not provide support forcontainer inter-communication or orchestration of the containers for aparallel or distributed application. In this paper, we present thedesign, implementation, and performance analysis of a Mesos framework,{\it Scylla}, which integrates Mesos with Docker Swarm to enableorchestration of MPI jobs on a cluster of VMs acquired from theChameleon cloud\cite{ChameleonCloud}. Scylla uses Docker Swarm for communication betweencontainerized tasks (MPI processes) and Apache Mesos for resourcepooling and allocation. Scylla allows a policy driven approach todetermine how the containers should be distributed across the nodesdepending on the CPU, memory, and network throughput requirement foreach application.

Pulsars

description: Neutron stars are surrounded by dense magnetospheres with nontrivial magnetic field structure. They are sources of multi-band emission from radio waves to very high energy gamma-rays. Pulsar wind nebulae observations also show that a large number of e^± pairs flow from the neutron star, which are produced in the magnetosphere. The structure of the magnetosphere, the mechanism of pair production and particle acceleration in the magnetosphere, and how magnetic energy is converted to kinetic energy is a complex problem that only recently has started to be addressed fully from first principles. In this dissertation I describe how I developed a numerical code tailored to study this problem. A detailed description of the code and method is given, then it is used to study the pair discharge mechanism in the magnetosphere of rotating neutron stars whose rotating axis is aligned with the magnetic axis. It was found that to form the an active magnetosphere it is necessary to have pair creation all the way towards the light cylinder. In the dissertation I classify the pulsars into two classes, and describe their differences. The magnetospheres of magnetars are believed to be different from ordinary pulsars, in that they are sustained not by the rotation of the star, but by a twist launched from the stellar surface due to some sudden breakdown of the crust. I apply the same numerical tool to study the particle acceleration and pair creation mechanism in the twisted magnetosphere of the magnetar, showing where the gap is, and how the magnetosphere evolves over time. The magnetic twist was found to live much longer than the Alfvén time of the system, and slowly dissipates through developing a cavity in the inner magnetosphere. This not only explains the long term evolution of the magnetar lightcurve after an outburst, but also explains the observed evolution hotspots on the stellar surface.

description: The learning of Transformation-Equivariant Representations (TERs), which is introduced by Hinton et al. \cite{hinton2011transforming}, has been considered as a principle to reveal visual structures under various transformations. It contains the celebrated Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) as a special case that only equivary to the translations. In contrast, we seek to train TERs for a generic class of transformations and train them in an {\em unsupervised} fashion. To this end, we present a novel principled method by Autoencoding Variational Transformations (AVT), compared with the conventional approach to autoencoding data. Formally, given transformed images, the AVT seeks to train the networks by maximizing the mutual information between the transformations and representations. This ensures the resultant TERs of individual images contain the {\em intrinsic} information about their visual structures that would equivary {\em extricably} under various transformations in a generalized {\em nonlinear} case. Technically, we show that the resultant optimization problem can be efficiently solved by maximizing a variational lower-bound of the mutual information. This variational approach introduces a transformation decoder to approximate the intractable posterior of transformations, resulting in an autoencoding architecture with a pair of the representation encoder and the transformation decoder. Experiments demonstrate the proposed AVT model sets a new record for the performances on unsupervised tasks, greatly closing the performance gap to the supervised models.

description: In analyzing the nature of thermal radiance experienced by an accelerated observer (Unruh effect), an eternal black hole (Hawking effect) and in certain types of cosmological expansion, one of us proposed a unifying viewpoint that these can be understood as arising from the vacuum fluctuations of the quantum field being subjected to an exponential scale transformation. This viewpoint, together with our recently developed stochastic theory of particle-field interaction understood as quantum open systems described by the influence functional formalism, can be used to address situations where the spacetime possesses an event horizon only asymptotically, or none at all. Examples studied here include detectors moving at uniform acceleration only asymptotically or for a finite time, a moving mirror, and a collapsing mass. We show that in such systems radiance indeed is observed, albeit not in a precise Planckian spectrum. The deviation therefrom is determined by a parameter which measures the departure from uniform acceleration or from exact exponential expansion. These results are expected to be useful for the investigation of non-equilibrium black hole thermodynamics and the linear response regime of backreaction problems in semiclassical gravity.

description: وجود حجم مناسبی از ایرانیان در خارج از کشور و به‌تبع آن وجود خیل زیادی از مشمولان مقیم و غیر مقیم (حضور در برهه زمانی کوتاه) در خارج از کشور، می‌تواند به‌عنوان فرصتی جهت توسعه اقتصاد کشور محسوب شود. درحالی‌که شاید بسیاری از مشمولان خدمت وظیفه به دلیل ترس‌های واهی و یا مسائل بدون پایه انگیزه کافی برای بازگشت به کشور را ندارند و یا سال‌های زیادی را در خارج از کشور باقی بمانند تا به حد غیبت مجاز برسند تا بتوانند از تسهیلات خرید مشمولان غایب استفاده کنند و سپس به کشور بازگردند، این فرصت حضور آنان در خارج از کشور می‌تواند به‌عنوان یک فرصت عالی جهت توسعه اقتصادی جمهوری اسلامی ایران و ورود به بازارهای جهانی با استفاده از ظرفیت‌های مشمولان باشد و بدین نحو این تهدید عدم بازگشت مشمولان و خانواده‌هایشان به کشور تبدیل به یک فرصت شود.

description: Graph jobs represent a wide variety of computation-intensive tasks in which computations are represented by graphs consisting of components (denoting either data sources or data processing) and edges (corresponding to data flows between the components). Recent years have witnessed dramatic growth in smart vehicles and computation-intensive graph jobs, which pose new challenges to the provision of efficient services related to the Internet of Vehicles. Fortunately, vehicular clouds formed by a collection of vehicles, which allows jobs to be offloaded among vehicles, can substantially alleviate heavy on-board workloads and enable on-demand provisioning of computational resources. In this paper, we present a novel framework for vehicular clouds that maps components of graph jobs to service providers via opportunistic vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Then, graph job allocation over vehicular clouds is formulated as a non-linear integer programming with respect to vehicles' contact duration and available resources, aiming to minimize job completion time and data exchange cost. The problem is addressed for two scenarios: low-traffic and rush-hours. For the former, we determine the optimal solutions for the problem. In the latter case, given the intractable computations for deriving feasible allocations, we propose a novel low complexity randomized graph job allocation mechanism by considering hierarchical tree based subgraph isomorphism. We evaluate the performance of our proposed algorithms through extensive simulations.

description: Antiferromagnetic materials as active components in spintronic devices promise insensitivity against external magnetic fields, the absence of own magnetic stray fields, and ultrafast dynamics at the picosecond time scale. Materials with certain crystal-symmetry show an intrinsic Néel-order spin-orbit torque that can efficiently switch the magnetic order of an antiferromagnet. The tetragonal variant of CuMnAs was shown to be electrically switchable by this intrinsic spin-orbit effect and its use in memory cells with memristive properties has been recently demonstrated for high-quality films grown with molecular beam epitaxy. Here, we demonstrate that the magnetic order of magnetron-sputtered CuMnAs films can also be manipulated by electrical current pulses. The switching efficiency and relaxation as a function of temperature, current density, and pulse width can be described by a thermal-activation model. Our findings demonstrate that CuMnAs can be fabricated with an industry-compatible deposition technique, which will accelerate the development cycle of devices based on this remarkable material.

Extended Falicov-Kimball model: Exact solution for finite temperatures

description: The extended Falicov-Kimball model is analyzed exactly for finite temperatures ($T\geq0$) in the limit of large dimensions. Onsite and intersite density-density interactions $U$ and $V$ are included in the model. Using the dynamical mean field theory formalism on the Bethe lattice we find rigorously the temperature dependent density of states (DOS) at half-filling. At $T=0$ the system is ordered to form the checkerboard pattern and the DOS has the gap $Δ(\varepsilon_F) > 0$ at the Fermi level, if only $U\neq 0$ or $V\neq 0$. If $U <0$ or $U > 2V$, two additional subbands develop inside the principal energy gap. They become wider with increasing $T$ and at a certain $U$- and $V$-dependent temperature $T_{MI}$ they join with each other at $\varepsilon_F$. Since above $T_{MI}$ the DOS is positive at $\varepsilon_F$, we interpret $T_{MI}$ as the transformation temperature from insulator to metal. Moreover, we show that if $V\lesssim 0.54$ then $T_{MI}=0$ at two quasi-quantum critical points $U_{cr}^{\pm}$ (one positive and the other negative), whereas for $V\gtrsim 0.54$ there is only one negative $U^-_{cr}$. Having calculated the temperature dependent DOS we study thermodynamic properties of the system starting from its free energy and then we construct the phase diagrams in the variables $T$ and $U$ for a few values of $V$. Our calculations give that inclusion of the intersite coupling $V$ causes the finite temperature phase diagrams to become asymmetric with respect to a change of sign of $U$. On these phase diagrams we detected stability regions of eight different kinds of ordered phases, where both charge-order and antiferromagnetism coexists (five of them are insulating and three are conducting) and three different nonordered phases (two of them are insulating and one is conducting). Moreover, both continuous and discontinuous transitions between various phases were found.

description: We show that singularities necessarily occur when a boundary of causality violating set exists in a space-time under the physically suitable assumptions except the global causality condition in the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems. Instead of the global causality condition, we impose some restrictions on the causality violating sets to show the occurrence of singularities.

description: We calculate the soft-gluon corrections for $tW$ production to all orders. The soft limit is defined in the pair invariant mass or one particle inclusive kinematic schemes. We find that at NLO the contribution of the soft-gluon effect dominates in the total cross section or the differential distributions. After resumming the soft-gluon effect to all orders using the renormalization group equation, we find that the NLO+NNLL results increase the NLO cross sections by $12\%\sim 17\%$ depending on the scheme and the collider energy. Our results are in agreement with the measurements at the 8 and 13 TeV LHC. We also provide predictions for the total cross section at the 14 TeV LHC.
