description: Diese Master Thesis stellt einen Ansatz zur Gesichtsanimation mit Autodesk Mayas Muskel-Funktion vor. Die Anatomie der menschlichen Gesichtsknochen und -muskeln, sowie der Haut wird von der Realität abstrahiert. Das Muskel-Modell wird als wiederverwendbare Schnittstelle zwischen beliebigen Schädel- und Haut-Modellen implementiert. Basierend auf dem Facial Action Coding System werden die Muskelaktionen durch Gewichtung des Haut-Modells modelliert. Das kombinierte Ak- tivieren einzelner Muskeln ermöglicht die Animation von Gesichtsausdrücken, wie Emotionen oder Phoneme. Die Genauigkeit, Nutzbarkeit und Leistungsfähigkeit des Ansatzes werden nachgewiesen, indem verschiedene Viseme mimisch artikuliert werden.
description: This master thesis describes an approach to facial animation using the muscle feature of Autodesk Maya. The skeletal, muscular and skin anatomy of the human head is abstracted from nature. The muscular structure is modelled to act as a highly reusable interface between any skull and skin model. The muscle actions are based on the Facial Action Coding System and are implemented using weights painted on the skin mesh. By combining several muscle actions it is possible to animate facial expressions, e.g. emotions or phonemes. By animating the mimic articulation of several visemes, the accuracy, usability and performance of the developed approach is determined.

description: We consider the Casimir interaction between two spheres at zero and finite temperature, for both scalar fields and electromagnetic fields. Of particular interest is the asymptotic expansions of the Casimir free energy when the distance between the spheres is small. The scenario where one sphere is inside the other is discussed in detail. At zero temperature, we compute analytically the leading and the next-to-leading order terms from the functional determinant representation of the Casimir energy. As expected, the leading order term agrees with the proximity force approximation. The results for the next-to-leading order terms are new. In the limit where the radius of the outer sphere goes to infinity, the results for the sphere-plane geometry are reproduced. At finite temperature, the leading order term is computed and it is found to agree completely with the proximity force approximation in the medium and high temperature regions. For the scenario where two spheres are outside each other, analogous results are obtained. In the case of Dirichlet boundary conditions on both spheres, the next-to-leading order term of the zero temperature Casimir energy is found to agree with that computed recently using derivative expansion.

description: The stability of the motion of the planet satellites is considered in the model of the general three-body problem (Sun-planet-satellite). "Sundman surfaces" are constructed, by means of which the concept "Sundman stability" is formulated. The comparison of the Sundman stability with the results of Golubev's c2h method and with the Hill's classical stability in the restricted three-body problem is performed. The constructed Sundman stability regions in the plane of the parameters "energy - moment of momentum" coincide with the analogous regions obtained by Golubev's method, with the value (c2h)cr. The construction of the Sundman surfaces in the three-dimensional space of the specially selected coordinates xyR is carried out by means of the exact Sundman inequality in the general three-body problem. The determination of the singular points of surfaces, the regions of the possible motion and Sundman stability analysis are implemented. It is shown that the singular points of the Sundman surfaces in the coordinate space xyR lie in different planes. Sundman stability of all known natural satellites of planets is investigated. It is shown that a number of the natural satellites, that are stable according to Hill and also some satellites that are stable according to Golubev's method are unstable in the sense of Sundman stability.

description: We present the results of wide-field deep JHK imaging of the SSA22 field using MOIRCS instrument equipped with Subaru telescope. The observed field is 112 arcmin^2 in area, which covers the z=3.1 protocluster characterized by the overdensities of Ly Alpha emitters (LAEs) and Ly Alpha Blobs (LABs). The 5 sigma limiting magnitude is K_{AB} = 24.3. We extract the potential protocluster members from the K-selected sample by using the multi-band photometric-redshift selection as well as the simple color cut for distant red galaxies (DRGs; J-K_{AB}>1.4). The surface number density of DRGs in our observed fields shows clear excess compared with those in the blank fields, and the location of the densest area whose projected overdensity is twice the average coincides with the large-scale density peak of LAEs. We also found that K-band counterparts with z_{phot} = 3.1 are detected for 75% (15/20) of the LABs within their Ly Alpha halo, and the 40 % (8/20) of LABs have multiple components, which gives a direct evidence of the hierarchical multiple merging in galaxy formation. The stellar mass ofLABs correlates with their luminosity, isophotal area, and the Ly Alpha velocity widths, implying that the physical scale and the dynamical motion of Ly Alpha emission are closely related to their previous star-formation activities. Highly dust-obscured galaxies such as hyper extremely red objects (HEROs; J-K_{AB}>2.1) and plausible K-band counterparts of submillimeter sources are also populated in the high density region.

Smooth trajectory generation and precision control of 5-axis CNC machine tools
Creators: name: Sencer, Burak
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis presents experimentally verified optimal feedrate generation and high performance precision control algorithms developed for 5-axis machine tools. A feedrate scheduling algorithm has been introduced to minimize the cycle time for 5-axis machining of curved tool-paths. The variation of the feed along the tool-path is expressed in a cubic B-spline form as a function of the arc displacement. The velocity, acceleration and jerk limits of the five axis drives are considered in finding the most optimal feed along the tool-path to ensure smooth and linear operation of the servo drives with minimal tracking error. Improvement in the productivity and linear operation of the drives are demonstrated through 5-axis experiments. In an effort to design an accurate contour controller, analytical models are developed to estimate the contour errors during simultaneous 5-axis machining. Two types of contouring errors are defined by considering the normal deviation of tool tip from the reference path, and the normal deviation of the tool axis orientation from the reference orientation trajectory. A novel multi-input-multi-output sliding mode controller is introduced to directly minimize the tool tip and tool orientation errors, i.e. the contouring errors, along the 5-axis tool-paths. The stability of the control scheme is proven analytically, and the effectiveness of this new control strategy has been demonstrated experimentally. An identification technique for identifying the closed loop transfer function of machine tool feed drives has been introduced. The drive system is identified in closed loop, including the feed drive mechanism, motor amplifier, and the control law. A short Numerical Control Program is used for exciting the axis dynamics without interfering with the servo control loop. A generalized drive model is utilized to capture the key dynamics of the drive systems, while guaranteeing the stability of the identified model dynamics by solving a constrained optimization problem. Methods developed in this thesis have been evaluated on a table tilting 5-axis machining center. Their application to other 5-axis machines would require modeling of the kinematic chain and the drive dynamics to be considered in the control law design and trajectory generation.

description: We demonstrate ultrafast resonant energy absorption of rare-gas doped He nanodroplets from intense few-cycle (~10 fs) laser pulses. We find that less than 10 dopant atoms "ignite" the droplet to generate a non-spherical electronic nanoplasma resulting ultimately in complete ionization and disintegration of all atoms, although the pristine He droplet is transparent for the laser intensities applied. Our calculations at those intensities reveal that the minimal pulse length required for ignition is about 9 fs.

description: A modified Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) reconstruction technique preventing accuracy loss near critical points (regardless of their order) of the underlying data is presented. This approach only uses local data from the reconstruction stencil and does not rely on any sort of scaling parameters. The key novel ingredient is a weight design based on a new smoothness indicator, which defines the first WENO reconstruction procedure that never loses accuracy on smooth data, regardless of the presence of critical points of any order, and is therefore addressed as optimal WENO (OWENO) method. The corresponding weights are non-dimensional and scale-independent. The weight designs are supported by theoretical results concerning the accuracy of the smoothness indicators. The method is validated by numerical tests related to algebraic equations, scalar conservation laws, and systems of conservation laws.

Subjects: subject: Filigree History--Peru

description: In the context of visual arts, more specifically, gold and silversmithing, this Sub thesis discusses and contextualizes, silver filigree objects and jewellery produced in Peru from the 18th to early 21st century. There is an assumption that silver filigree developed in Peru was a consequence of Spanish colonisation; however this research demonstrates the origins of filigree in Asia and Europe, and how it was disseminated before coming to the Americas. The purpose of this research is to find how filigree was grafted onto and further developed in Peruvian metalsmithing, what other decorative objects informs this practice, and if there is a distinctive Peruvian filigree style. Through an examination of complex global trade routes in Asia and Europe during the 16th-18th centuries and close visual analyses, this sub thesis proposes an alternative theory on how Asian decorative objects informed filigree objects produced in Peru from the 18th century onwards. In addition, it discusses a commercial edict issued by the Spanish government which affected the labelling and provenance of Asian imports including filigree. It is with the introduction of decorative objects and silver filigree jewellery, from Asia and Europe, that filigree manifested in a distinctive figurative form reflected in the objects and jewellery of Peru. The results were hybrid figurative forms, which became a new cottage industry in Peru. Close visual analyses of filigree objects housed in public and private collections in Europe and the Americas provide the context for this research. It is the identification of other filigree objects crafted in China, India and Italy that have helped identify what is unique about the silver filigree objects made in Peru. The introduction of objects and forms through trade and migration has constituted the development and history of Peruvian filigree.

description: Along with the construction of non-Lorentz-invariant effective field theories, recent studies which are based on geometric models of Finsler space-time become more and more popular. In this respect, the Finslerian approach to the problem of Lorentz symmetry violation is characterized by the fact that the violation of Lorentz symmetry is not accompanied by a violation of relativistic symmetry. That means, in particular, that preservation of relativistic symmetry can be considered as a rigorous criterion of the viability for any non-Lorentz-invariant effective field theory. Although this paper has a review character, it contains (with few exceptions) only those results on Finsler extensions of relativity theory, that were obtained by the authors.

description: Nogat mani, the Tok Pisin term expressing ‘we have no money’, is a familiar refrain of migrants in Port Moresby, the capital city of Papua New Guinea (PNG). In the absence of formal income opportunities and affordable housing, many are forced to resort to informal forms of shelter and income generation. Food and shelter are particularly difficult to secure which is why many rely on support from people of their own ethnic group. One such group is the Tufi people of Oro Province who live in the ATS squatter settlement located near the city’s airport. There, kin and neighbors are important sources of support but, paradoxically, also place severe demands on those who have food, housing and money. Moreover, people must contribute to collective undertakings or risk becoming alienated from this urban safety net. This collective identity has to be balanced with the reality of being marginal citizens in the increasingly cosmopolitan city. This thesis examines the livelihood and social safety strategies of this group of Tufi migrants over the period from the mid-1990s to 2013. It draws on a combination of ethnographic and quantitative data based on fieldwork conducted in 2013, reflective autoethnographic data and secondary sources. It examines the changing forms of indigenous Melanesian value systems in urban settings as they come into contestation with neo-liberal systems of value which dominate access to basic needs in the city. Drawing on theoretical concepts of value, exchange, kinship and urban space, this thesis provides a grounded account of settlement life in PNG. It examines the challenges and responses of the Tufi as marginal citizens in one PNG informal settlement and demonstrates how collective identity is deployed to address the many challenges encountered in urban life. The thesis makes visible emerging forms of citizenship in urban PNG and the paradoxes of collective action and identity.

description: Understanding coronal mass ejection (CME) energetics and dynamics has been a long-standing problem, and although previous observational estimates have been made, such studies have been hindered by large uncertainties in CME mass. Here, the two vantage points of the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) COR1 and COR2 coronagraphs were used to accurately estimate the mass of the 2008 December 12 CME. Acceleration estimates derived from the position of the CME front in 3-D were combined with the mass estimates to calculate the magnitude of the kinetic energy and driving force at different stages of the CME evolution. The CME asymptotically approaches a mass of 3.4\pm1.0x10^15 g beyond ~10 R_sun. The kinetic energy shows an initial rise towards 6.3\pm3.7x10^29 erg at ~3 R_sun, beyond which it rises steadily to 4.2\pm2.5x10^30 erg at ~18 R_sun. The dynamics are described by an early phase of strong acceleration, dominated by a force of peak magnitude of 3.4\pm2.2x10^14N at ~3 R_sun, after which a force of 3.8\pm5.4x10^13 N takes affect between ~7-18 R_sun. These results are consistent with magnetic (Lorentz) forces acting at heliocentric distances of <7 R_sun, while solar wind drag forces dominate at larger distances (>7 R_sun).

description: Although historical documents and texts tell us otherwise, it is generally believed, not only by people without the expertise to know better, that nobody lived to what we would consider to be old age in the distant past. While it is certainly true that fewer individuals reached their allotted three score years and ten, most communities would have had people who lived to their seventies, eighties or even nineties. It is not that the elderly didn’t exist, it is that the methods used to identify and age people in the past, combined with current attitudes, have rendered them invisible. This thesis seeks to examine the implications on life, both social and physical, of living to old age in Early Anglo-Saxon England. To do this, elderly individuals first need to be made visible and identified. For this purpose then, an approach that identifies the invisible elderly in a cemetery context is proposed, illustrated with an Anglo-Saxon cemetery example. Subsequently, the elderly in three Early Anglo-Saxon cemeteries are examined: Great Chesterford, Essex; Mill Hill, Deal, Kent; Worthy Park, Kingsworthy, Hampshire. The graves of the individuals buried in these cemeteries, their grave goods and their skeletal remains are discussed and elderly people are compared to those younger to determine whether old age increased their relative status, decreased it, or whether it remained the same. Whether sex or its close relative gender had an effect on these determinations is also explored. A case study involving two elderly women concludes this thesis. In general, it is found that while the elderly are not a homogenous group, some evidence for respect is found, as well as some lesser treatment, and that the elderly are treated similarly in death to younger cohorts. In contrast, when examined through the lens of sex, it was found that males, fewer of whom reach the oldest age categories, tend to increase their status with age, while the status of females appears to decline from about the age of about thirty. The two women in the case study, who were given somewhat less than average burial treatment, may have been the last pagans in the community.
Traditional knowledge for health

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The objective of this research is strengthening Nłeʔkepmx Traditional Food Relationships (NTFR) for community health, education and self-sufficiency and ultimately self-determination of Siska community members. Upholding the interconnected Nłeʔkepmx worldview, the research became known as “Traditional Knowledge for Health”. Research took place at Siska within the Nłeʔkepmx Nation Territory. Siska Traditions Society led this research in partnership with University of British Columbia- Faculty of Land and Food Systems. This partnership made explicit respectful research processes in the Siska-UBC Traditional Knowledge Protocol (TKP), an ethical research agreement. The principles of the agreement were enacted through community-directed Indigenous action research processes. This strength-based approach led to achieving self-determined control and application of Nłeʔkepmx knowledge systems through two main research activities: 1) The Siska Traditions Ethical Picking Practices- Harvest Training and Certification Program (STEPP) set a precedent for self-determined Indigenous education and policy creation for Nłeʔkepmx traditional food relationships (NTFR). The STEPP training resulted in hands-on culturally relevant traditional food workshops. Community members unanimously agreed the workshops are an effective way to pass on NTFR knowledge, practices and values. Following the training, participants increased their traditional food use and time spent on the land base. STEPP participants demonstrated their role as NTFR stewards and managers. The Siska community policy creation process provided clear direction for jurisdiction and management of NTFR. Indigenous title and jurisdiction will guide NTFR management. 2) The Youth-Elder Traditional Food Interviews reinstated the honourable roles of Nłeʔkepmx Elders as educators and youth as self-determined leaders of tomorrow. The Youth-Elder Interviews arose from Elders’ recommendation that technology may be part of the solution to getting youth to engage actively and passionately with the traditional teachings about food and health. The interviews resulted in the youth-directed documentary, “Traditional Foods of the Nłeʔkepmx Territory”. In this documentary, Elders’ share stories about Nłeʔkepmx traditional food relationships’ interconnectedness with: spiritual, cultural, educational practices; overall community health and strength; as well as impacts of colonization and ecological degradation. Overall this research has led to sustained community actions to strength Nłeʔkepmx traditional food relationships and ultimately contributes to Nłeʔkepmx Peoples’ self-determination.

description: This thesis takes Kerewo historical consciousness as the frame for an analysis of the ways in which reflections on the past are fundamentally informed by orientations towards the future. In particular, I draw on various representations of the historical event of the killing of missionary James Chalmers in 1901, and its consequences, to explore local conceptions of modernity as a moral state withheld from Kerewo in the absence of a reconciliation with their past. This particular historical episode occupies a central place in contemporary Kerewo understandings of their perceived marginality within the post-Independence state of Papua New Guinea, and more widely in the world system. This marginality is manifest in Kerewo daily experience as a lack of services and infrastructure, despite the presence in the area of a multi-billion dollar resource extraction enterprise. The roots of this perceived lack of ‘modernity’ are sought in the colonial past, and articulated in moral terms through historical narratives. The colonial era emerges from these narratives as the period in which Kerewo were exposed to modernity in its ideological and material forms. Yet, the promises and expectation of an amelioration of life conditions engendered by several colonial discourses never materialised, leaving contemporary Kerewo people with a sense of frustrated modernity. It is the conflation of the colonial era with the idea of modernity that informs Kerewo historical consciousness, and thus it is by ritually addressing the colonial past that Kerewo people seek to transform the ‘frustrated modernity’ of the present into a better future. What emerges from the analysis of the historical and ethnographic material that constitutes the core of this dissertation is that historical consciousness consists fundamentally of a social process – which emerges from the social labour of history- making – to apprehend present conditions through reflection on the past informed by competing orientations toward the future.

description: It is shown that the nonperturbative effects due to hadronization play a crucial role in low-energy strong interaction processes. Specifically, such effects impose a stringent constraint on the infrared behavior of the Adler function and play an essential role in the theoretical analysis of inclusive tau lepton decay.

description: Side Channel Analysis (SCA) presents a clear threat to privacy and security in modern computing systems. The vast majority of communications are secured through cryptographic algorithms. These algorithms are often provably-secure from a cryptographical perspective, but their implementation on real hardware introduces vulnerabilities. Adversaries can exploit these vulnerabilities to conduct SCA and recover confidential information, such as secret keys or internal states. The threat of SCA has greatly increased as machine learning, and in particular deep learning, enhanced attacks become more common. In this work, we will examine the latest state-of-the-art deep learning techniques for side channel analysis, the theory behind them, and how they are conducted. Our focus will be on profiling attacks using deep learning techniques, but we will also examine some new and emerging methodologies enhanced by deep learning techniques, such as non-profiled attacks, artificial trace generation, and others. Finally, different deep learning enhanced SCA schemes attempted against the ANSSI SCA Database (ASCAD) and their relative performance will be evaluated and compared. This will lead to new research directions to secure cryptographic implementations against the latest SCA attacks.

description: Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Optimierung eines zentrifugalen Wirbelschichtklassierers zur Gewährleistung scharfer kontinuierlicher Klassierungen mit Trennschnitten im Mikrometerbereich. Zu diesem Zweck wurden CFD Simulationen, sowie Experimente mit Tracern durchgeführt, um die Strömungsmechanik, insbesondere unter dem Einfluß der Corioliskraft, zu bestimmen. Des Weiteren wurden Druckverlustprofile gemessen und das Expansionsverhalten der Wirbelschicht analysiert. Aus den gewonnen Erkenntnissen konnte ein neuer Grobgutabzug installiert werden, wodurch ein scharfer und kontinuierlicher Klassierbetrieb ermöglicht wurde. Abschließend wird ein Modell vorgestellt, aus dem sich für gegebene Klassieraufgaben die optimalen Betriebsparameter bestimmen lassen.
description: The present work deals with the optimization of a novel wet centrifugal fluidized bed classifier for separations in the micron range. Experiments and CFD calculations were applied to investigate the influence of the Coriolis force on the fluid flow and the fluidized bed. Further experiments were conducted to study and to model the expansion behavior of the centrifugal fluidized bed. Based on the findings a novel discharge mechanism for the coarse fraction has been developed. The measured pressure drop characteristic of the coarse particle bed reveals the range of fluidizing velocities which are optimal for the performance of classification. With the optimized classifier sharp classifications with a strong reduction of the misclassification of fines were achieved in different experiments with quartz, limestone and glass beads.

description: With the advent of quantum information, the violation of a Bell inequality is used as evidence of the absence of an eavesdropper in cryptographic scenarios such as key distribution and randomness expansion. One of the key assumptions of Bell's Theorem is the existence of experimental "free will", meaning that measurement settings can be chosen at random and independently by each party. The relaxation of this assumption potentially shifts the balance of power towards an eavesdropper. We consider a no-signalling model with reduced "free will" and bound the adversary's capabilities in the task of randomness expansion.

An efficient third-order WENO scheme with unconditionally optimal accuracy

description: A novel scheme, based on third-order Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) reconstructions, is presented. It attains unconditionally optimal accuracy when the data is smooth enough, even in presence of critical points, and second-order accuracy if a discontinuity crosses the data. The key to attribute these properties to this scheme is the inclusion of an additional node in the data stencil, which is only used in the computation of the weights measuring the smoothness. The accuracy properties of this scheme are proven in detail and several numerical experiments are presented, which show that this scheme is more efficient in terms of the error reduction versus CPU time than its traditional third-order counterparts as well as several higher-order WENO schemes that are found in the literature.

description: The so-called Simpson's "paradox", or Yule-Simpson (YS) effect, occurs in classical statistics when the correlations that are present among different sets of samples are reversed if the sets are combined together, thus ignoring one or more lurking variables. Here we illustrate the occurrence of two analogue effects in quantum measurements. The first, which we term quantum-classical YS effect, may occur with quantum limited measurements and with lurking variables coming from the mixing of states, whereas the second, here referred to as quantum-quantum YS effect, may take place when coherent superpositions of quantum states are allowed. By analyzing quantum measurements on low dimensional systems (qubits and qutrits), we show that the two effects may occur independently, and that the quantum-quantum YS effect is more likely to occur than the corresponding quantum-classical one. We also found that there exist classes of superposition states for which the quantum-classical YS effect cannot occur for any measurement and, at the same time, the quantum-quantum YS effect takes place in a consistent fraction of the possible measurement settings. The occurrence of the effect in the presence of partial coherence is discussed as well as its possible implications for quantum hypothesis testing.

description: In this work we matched the AKARI archival data to the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment-III (OGLE-III) catalog to derive the mid-infrared period luminosity (PL) relations for Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) Cepheids. Mismatched AKARI sources were eliminated using random-phase colors obtained from the full I-band light curves from OGLE-III. It was possible to derive PL relations in the N3 and N4 bands only, although the S7, S11, L15, and L24 band data were also tested. Random-phase correction was included when deriving the PL relation in the N3 and N4 bands using the available time of observations from AKARI data. The final adopted PL relations were: N3 = -3.370 logP + 16.527 and N4 = -3.402 logP + 16.556. However, these PL relations may be biased due to the small number of Cepheids in the sample.

Induced self-interactions in the spacetime of a global monopole with finite core

description: In this paper we analyze induced self-interactions for point-like particles with electric and scalar charges placed at rest in the spacetime of a global monopole admitting a general spherically symmetric inner structure to it. In order to develop this analysis we calculate the three-dimensional Green function associated with the physical system under consideration. As we shall see for the charged particle outside the monopole core, the corresponding Green functions are composed by two distinct contributions, the firsts ones are induced by the non-trivial topology of the global monopole considered as a point-like defect and the seconds are corrections induced by the non-vanishing inner structure attributed to it. For both cases, the self-energies present a similar structure, having also two distinct contributions as well. For a specific model considered for region inside the monopole, named flower-pot, we shall see that the particle with electric charge will be always subject to a repulsive self-force with respect to the monopole core's boundary, on the other scalar charged particle exhibits peculiar behavior. Depending on the curvature coupling the self-force can be repulsive or attractive with respect to the core's boundary. Moreover, the contribution due to the point-like global monopole vanishes for massless particle conformally coupled with three dimensional space section of the manifold, and the only contribution comes from the core-induced part.

description: Defect detection by ultrasonic method is limited by the pulse width. Resolution can be improved through a deconvolution process with a priori information of the pulse or by its estimation. In this paper a regularization of the Wiener filter using wavelet shrinkage is presented for the estimation of the reflectivity function. The final result shows an improved signal to noise ratio with better axial resolution.
