On decomposing mixed-mode oscillations and their return maps

description: Alternating patterns of small and large amplitude oscillations occur in a wide variety of physical, chemical, biological and engineering systems. These mixed-mode oscillations (MMOs) are often found in systems with multiple time scales. Previous differential equation modeling and analysis of MMOs has mainly focused on local mechanisms to explain the small oscillations. Numerical continuation studies reported different MMO patterns based on parameter variation. This paper aims at improving the link between local analysis and numerical simulation. Our starting point is a numerical study of a singular return map for the Koper model which is a prototypical example for MMOs that also relates to local normal form theory. We demonstrate that many MMO patterns can be understood geometrically by approximating the singular maps with affine and quadratic maps. Motivated by our numerical analysis we use abstract affine and quadratic return map models in combination with two local normal forms that generate small oscillations. Using this decomposition approach we can reproduce many classical MMO patterns and effectively decouple bifurcation parameters for local and global parts of the flow. The overall strategy we employ provides an alternative technique for understanding MMOs.

description: We report on twenty-three clusters detected blindly as Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) decrements in a 148 GHz, 455 square-degree map of the southern sky made with data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope 2008 observing season. All SZ detections announced in this work have confirmed optical counterparts. Ten of the clusters are new discoveries. One newly discovered cluster, ACT-CL J0102-4915, with a redshift of 0.75 (photometric), has an SZ decrement comparable to the most massive systems at lower redshifts. Simulations of the cluster recovery method reproduce the sample purity measured by optical follow-up. In particular, for clusters detected with a signal-to-noise ratio greater than six, simulations are consistent with optical follow-up that demonstrated this subsample is 100% pure. The simulations further imply that the total sample is 80% complete for clusters with mass in excess of 6x10^14 solar masses referenced to the cluster volume characterized by five hundred times the critical density. The Compton y -- X-ray luminosity mass comparison for the eleven best detected clusters visually agrees with both self-similar and non-adiabatic, simulation-derived scaling laws.

description: We study certain Z_2-graded, finite-dimensional polynomial algebras of degree 2 which are a special class of deformations of Lie superalgebras, which we call quadratic Lie superalgebras. Starting from the formal definition, we discuss the generalised Jacobi relations in the context of the Koszul property, and give a proof of the PBW basis theorem. We give several concrete examples of quadratic Lie superalgebras for low dimensional cases, and discuss aspects of their structure constants for the `type I' class. We derive the equivalent of the Kac module construction for typical and atypical modules, and a related direct construction of irreducible modules due to Gould. We investigate in detail one specific case, the quadratic generalisation gl_2(n/1) of the Lie superalgebra sl(n/1). We formulate the general atypicality conditions at level 1, and present an analysis of zero-and one-step atypical modules for a certain family of Kac modules.

description: Quantum physics has revealed many interesting formal properties associated with the algebra of two operators, A and B, satisfying the partial commutation relation AB-BA=1. This study surveys the relationships between classical combinatorial structures and the reduction to normal form of operator polynomials in such an algebra. The connection is achieved through suitable labelled graphs, or "diagrams", that are composed of elementary "gates". In this way, many normal form evaluations can be systematically obtained, thanks to models that involve set partitions, permutations, increasing trees, as well as weighted lattice paths. Extensions to q-analogues, multivariate frameworks, and urn models are also briefly discussed.

description: This thesis investigates one of Iran’s grand narratives, the myth of victimisation, as a tool of the Iranian political elite to achieve foreign policy goals. It studies the leadership of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (1941-1979), Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq (1951-1953), Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (1979-1989), and President Mahmood Ahmadinejad (2005-2013) to argue that the sense of grievance of justice denied has had a cultural provenance, rooted in historical, literary and religious references spanning centuries. Accordingly Iranian leaders have been able to pursue and perpetuate narratives that have served to cast Iranians as victims of foreign intrigue, thus relieving themselves from accountability and inaction. The narrative of grievance has had a resurgence with the rise of populism around the world, but as an ideational catalyst in Iranian politics, where it has been at play for decades, it has received scant attention. The leaders studied in this thesis have each employed this narrative to varying degrees and effects, to cast the world as a battleground between victim and victimizer. This process was most evident in the lead up to and in the aftermath of the Islamic Revolution, when Ayatollah Khomeini and President Ahmadinejad repurposed the myth of victimisation to launch and export the revolution. While the Shah and Prime Minister Mosaddeq disseminated such myths to extract favourable concessions from foreign powers, mainly the United States and Great Britain. As a result, the grounding of Iran’s most exigent foreign policy issues in myths and populist narratives has led to an incongruity between its potential and its current standing in the community of nations.

description: Paramagnetic correlations in the magnetic material Yb2Ti2O7 have been investigated via neutron scattering, revealing a [111] rod of scattering intensity. Assuming interactions between the Yb^{3+} ions composed of all symmetry-allowed nearest neighbor exchange interactions and long-range dipolar interactions, we construct a model Hamiltonian that allows for an excellent description of the neutron scattering data. Our results provide compelling evidence for significant anisotropic exchange interactions in an insulating magnetic pyrochlore oxide. We also compute the real space correlations leading to the [111] rod of scattering.

Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity

description: This document is the next iteration of the requirements and guidelines for the SPHINX System from the end-user's perspective. In particular, this document provides an overview and the main outcomes of the work performed by the SPHINX Consortium on the SPHINX requirements and guidelines, as part of Task 2.3 - Stakeholders’ Requirements. This deliverable describes the methodological approach that has led to the definition of eighty-five requirements for SPHINX. The identified user requirements are distinguished between functional and nonfunctional requirements and, while the functional requirements highlight a specific functionality domain concerning the SPHINX user interface, the non-functional requirements are further classified with respect to the associated usability, maintainability and support, security and legal and ethical aspects. The SPHINX requirements are also introduced with two categorisation methods, which serve as means for understanding the end-users’ needs when addressing cybersecurity protection, in particular the design and development of the SPHINX System.

description: This review presents an insight into our current knowledge of the atmospheres of the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, the satellite Titan, and those of exoplanets. It deals with the thermal structure, aerosol properties (hazes and clouds, dust in the case of Mars), chemical composition, global winds and selected dynamical phenomena in these objects. Our understanding of atmospheres is greatly benefitting from the discovery in the last three decades of thousands of exoplanets. The exoplanet properties span a broad range of conditions, and it is fair to expect as much variety for their atmospheres. This complexity is driving unprecedented investigations of the atmospheres, where those of the solar systems bodies are the obvious reference. We are witnessing a significant transfer of knowledge in both directions between the investigations dedicated to Solar System and exoplanet atmospheres, and there are reasons to think that this exchange will intensity in the future. We identify and select a list of research subjects that can be conducted at optical and infrared wavelengths with future and currently available ground-based and space-based telescopes, but excluding those from the space missions to solar system bodies.

Upper bounds on the quantum relative $q$-entropy in terms of norm distances between its arguments are obtained in finite-dimensional context. These bounds characterize a continuity property in the sense of Fannes.

description: Numerous studies demonstrate the importance of self-regulation during learning by problem-solving. Recent work in learning analytics has largely examined students' use of SRL concerning overall learning gains. Limited research has related SRL to in-the-moment performance differences among learners. The present study investigates SRL behaviors in relationship to learners' moment-by-moment performance while working with intelligent tutoring systems for stoichiometry chemistry. We demonstrate the feasibility of labeling SRL behaviors based on AI-generated think-aloud transcripts, identifying the presence or absence of four SRL categories (processing information, planning, enacting, and realizing errors) in each utterance. Using the SRL codes, we conducted regression analyses to examine how the use of SRL in terms of presence, frequency, cyclical characteristics, and recency relate to student performance on subsequent steps in multi-step problems. A model considering students' SRL cycle characteristics outperformed a model only using in-the-moment SRL assessment. In line with theoretical predictions, students' actions during earlier, process-heavy stages of SRL cycles exhibited lower moment-by-moment correctness during problem-solving than later SRL cycle stages. We discuss system re-design opportunities to add SRL support during stages of processing and paths forward for using machine learning to speed research depending on the assessment of SRL based on transcription of think-aloud data.

Why do we observe a weak force? The hierarchy problem in the multiverse

description: Unless the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking is stabilized dynamically, most of the universes in a multiverse theory will lack an observable weak nuclear interaction. Such "weakless universes" could support intelligent life based on organic chemistry, as long as other parameters are properly adjusted. By taking into account the seemingly-unrelated flavor dynamics that address the hierarchy of quark masses and mixings, we show that such weakless (but hospitable) universes can be far more common than universes like ours. The gauge hierarchy problem therefore calls for a dynamical (rather than anthropic) solution.

Impact of COVID-19 on achieving required competencies in North American graduate orthodontic programs
Creators: name: Kehler, Jessica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Introduction: COVID-19 invoked many restrictions on graduate orthodontic programs. This may have impacted the development of required competencies for the graduation of orthodontic residents. We hypothesized orthodontic graduates in the COVID-19 era (2020-2022) feel less competent as compared to pre-COVID-19 graduates (2019). Objectives: The aims of this study were to develop a list of competencies for orthodontic graduates, use this list to assess perceived competence, and identify common challenges among orthodontic programs due to COVID-19, and how these challenges were overcome. Methods: An orthodontic competency list was based on available information from Canada, USA, and Europe. Part A Qualtrics® survey included information about the perceived competencies of orthodontic graduates (2019-2022) from accredited Canadian and American programs. Graduates were also asked about the importance of achieving these competencies, and the best modes of learning for them. Part B survey asked program directors/faculty from each program to identify COVID-19-imposed challenges in achieving specific competencies, and the accommodations made to overcome them. Results: Pre-COVID-19 graduates (2019) had higher levels of perceived competencies as compared to COVID-19 graduates (2020-2022), and significant differences were found for 8 Competencies out of 21. There were no significant differences in perceived competencies between Canadian and American graduates. Major COVID-19-imposed challenges as identified by the faculty included having fewer patients/patient visits/less of a variety of malocclusions to treat, and less instructor feedback. Few significant differences were observed between Canadian and American programs. Limited accommodations were needed to overcome COVID-19-imposed challenges, with the most common need to introduce additional clinics/seminars, reducing aerosols, and teleorthodontics. Conclusions: Restrictions on orthodontic education due to COVID-19 impacted the perceived competencies of graduates, where pre-COVID-19 graduates felt more competent than graduates during COVID-19. There were no significant differences between Canadian and American graduates. Graduate programs identified a few COVID-19-imposed challenges in achieving competencies, however, little accommodations were needed to overcome them.
Heat Transfer in Gold Interfaces Capped with Thiolated Polyethylene Glycol: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Creators: name: Shavalier, Sydney A.

description: Reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD) simulations were used to study heat transport in solvated gold interfaces which have been functionalized with a low molecular weight thiolated polyethylene glycol (PEG). The gold interfaces studied included (111), (110), and (100) facets, as well as spherical nanoparticles with radii of 10 and 20 Å. The embedded atom model (EAM) and the polarizable density-readjusted embedded atom model (DR-EAM) were implemented to determine the effect of metal polarizability on heat transport properties. We find that the interfacial thermal conductance values for thiolated PEG capped interfaces are higher than those for pristine gold interfaces. Hydrogen bonding between the thiolated PEG and solvent differs between planar facets and the nanospheres, suggesting one mechanism for enhanced transfer of energy, while the covalent gold sulfur bond appears to create the largest barrier to thermal conduction. Through analysis of vibrational power spectra, we find an enhanced population at low frequency heat carrying modes for the nanospheres, which may also explain the higher mean G value.
Generation of a bubble universe using a negative energy bath

description: This paper suggests a model for a bubble universe using buildable false vacuum bubbles. We study the causal structures of collapsing false vacuum bubbles using double-null simulations. False vacuum bubbles violate the null energy condition and emit negative energy along the outgoing direction through semi-classical effects. If there are a few collapsing false vacuum bubbles and they emit negative energy to a certain region, then the region can be approximated by a negative energy bath, which means the region is homogeneously filled by negative energy. If a false vacuum bubble is generated in the negative energy bath and the tension of the bubble effectively becomes negative in the bath, then the bubble can expand and form an inflating bubble universe. This scenario uses a set of assumptions different from those in previous studies because it does not require tunneling to unbuildable bubbles.

description: We perform a calculation for the three body $N \bar{K} K$ scattering amplitude by using the fixed center approximation to the Faddeev equations, taking the interaction between $N$ and $\bar{K}$, $N$ and $K$, and $\bar{K}$ and $K$ from the chiral unitary approach. The resonant structures show up in the modulus squared of the three body scattering amplitude and suggest that a $N\bar{K}K$ hadron state can be formed. Our results are in agreement with others obtained in previous theoretical works, which claim a new $N^*$ resonance around 1920 MeV with spin-parity $J^P=1/2^+$. The existence of these previous works allows us to test the accuracy of the fixed center approximation in the present problem and sets the grounds for possible application in similar problems, as an explorative tool to determine bound or quasibound three hadron systems.

description: Diabetes is a disease that affects how the body processes glucose, leading to a cascade of other complications, one of which is diabetic retinopathy (DR). DR is a neurovascular disease that affects the retina and research has revealed the role of retinal neurodegeneration in its development. Animal models like zebrafish have emerged as important tools for studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying DR. On the other hand, retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a degenerative disease that involves the progressive degeneration of rods and cones, and hyperglycemia has been found to impair regeneration. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effects of acute and chronic hyperglycemia on the retina and retinal degeneration, utilizing zebrafish as a model organism. Chapter 1 of this thesis provides a comprehensive overview of the zebrafish retina and the impact of chronic, acute, and embryonic hyperglycemia on retinal tissue. In Chapter 2, a hyperglycemic rod-degeneration model was employed to assess the effects of chronic hyperglycemia on regeneration, with cell proliferation as the primary marker. The Appendix discusses a significant part of my thesis that involved using an acute hyperglycemic model to study rod degeneration.

description: Натуральные шелковые нити «Bombyx mori» по составу состоят из двух белков: фиброина, который имеет волокнистую структуру и серицина имеющую глобулярную природу. Фиброин уже давно используется в производстве гигиенических тканей, одежды и домашнего текстиля, а также применяется как биомедицинский продукт специального назначения. Для использования фиброина в текстильной промышленности из натуральных шелковых нитей серицин удоляют путем их обработки слабощелочными или кислыми водными растворами. При этом натуральный шелк теряет 10-25% массы в виде серицина который на сегодня утилизируется как отход. По оценкам, во всем мире при переработке 1,0 млн тонн коконов ежегодно в водоемы сбрасиваются около 50000 тонн ценного белка серицина.

Целью проводимых исследований была разработка способа и технологии производства чистого фиброина и серицина, которые являются ценным сырём в создании специальных биомедицинских препаратов и изделий медицинского назначения. 

Для получения из шелковых нитей чистого фиброина и серицина нами разработан способ и технология их разделения в среде чистой воды при высоких значениях температуры (120-240 °С) и давлении (4-16 атм). При этом в автоклаве остается чистый волокнистый фиброин, а в раствор переходит глобулярный водорастворимый серицин. Далее с целью получения полифункционального гемосорбента чистый фиброин подвергнут повторному гидролизу в среде воды при высокой температуре и давлении с использованием методов сверхвысокочастотного излучения и ультразвукового диспергирования. Полученные, волокнистой структурой, полифункциональные гемосорбенты подвергнуты физико-химическим, структурным исследованиям с использованием ВЭЖ-хроматографии, ИК- и УФ-спектроскопии, рентгенографического, электрофоретического и сорбционного анализа.

Сорбционная активность полученного гемосорбента оценена на модельных системах витамина В12, крови и сыворотки крови экспериментальных животных.

Установлено, что сорбционная активность полученных полифункциональных сорбентов фиброина находится на уровне промышленно производимого гемосорбента на основе активированного угля «Симплекс-ЕК».

Посредством концентрирования, термической и леофильной сушки раствора серицина получен чистый порошок серицина с молекулярной массой 250-150 кДа.

Методом ВЭЖ-хроматографии определен аминокислотный состав серицина – Ser-24,8%, Asp-15,9%, Thr-8,8% и Ala-7,3% из 18 видов заменимых и незаменимых аминокислот.

Далее, путем повторного гидротермического гидролиза серицина получен олигомер серицина с молекулярной массой 5-6 кДа содержащий смесь заменимых и незаменимых аминокислот представляющий интерес как биологически активная пищевая добавка (БАД) для профилактики сахарного диабета второго типа. Полученный БАД испытан на экспериментальных крысах, у которых вызван гипергликемия.

Установлено, что у животных, принявших БАД уровень сахара в крови в сравнении с контрольной группой снижался – через 3 часа на 31,0%, а через 6 часов на 54,0%.
The 2d-Directed Spanning Forest is almost surely a tree

description: We consider the Directed Spanning Forest (DSF) constructed as follows: given a Poisson point process N on the plane, the ancestor of each point is the nearest vertex of N having a strictly larger abscissa. We prove that the DSF is actually a tree. Contrary to other directed forests of the literature, no Markovian process can be introduced to study the paths in our DSF. Our proof is based on a comparison argument between surface and perimeter from percolation theory. We then show that this result still holds when the points of N belonging to an auxiliary Boolean model are removed. Using these results, we prove that there is no bi-infinite paths in the DSF.

description: Headline: Europe-wide research reveals how transgender rights and LGBTIQ+ advocacy are systematically attacked in European politics and media.

Lead: A project researching so-called ‘anti-gender’ politics across Europe shows how politics attacking the idea of gender have taken root internationally.

The RESIST project has released research results demonstrating how transgender rights and LGBTIQ advocacy have become key targets for ‘anti-gender’ politics internationally.

Prof Gavan Titley, principal investigator at Maynooth University said, “Our research demonstrates that an intensive attack on LGBTIQ+ people across Europe is advanced through attacking the very idea of ‘gender’. While so-called ‘anti-gender’ politics have been attacking feminism and reproductive rights for decades, this politics is not static, and ‘anti-gender’ actors are always on the look-out for new targets. Anotable addition right now is to try to marginalise any form of LGBTIQ+ visibility and advocacy as ‘aggressive activism’ that is accused of wanting to impose ‘minority’ ideas and values on ‘majority populations.’ Once you do this, you can declare that you are defending children’s rights, parent’s rights, freedom of speech and even democracy against them”.
Rotating BHs as Central Engines of Long GRBs: Faster is Better

description: We performed simulations of collapsars with different Kerr parameters a=0, 0.5, 0.9, 0.95. It is shown that a more rapidly rotating black hole is driving a more energetic jet. No jet is seen for the case of Schwartzschild black hole case, while the total energy of the jet is as large as 10^50 erg for a rapidly rotating Kerr black hole case (a=0.95). In order to explain the high luminosity of a GRB, it is concluded that a rapidly rotating black hole is favored ('faster is better'). We also find in the case of a=0.95 that (i) the stagnation region is clearly found in the jet region, (ii) the ordered poloidal field lines are seen in the jet, (iii) the jet region is surrounded by a 'Wall-like' structure that has a higher pressure than the jet region and contains strong vertical magnetic fields, and (iv) the jet is initiated by outgoing Poynting flux from the outer horizon of the black hole (Blandford-Znajek effect). The bulk Lorentz factor of the jet is still of the order of unity. However, energy density of electro-magnetic fields dominates the one of rest-mass in the jet. It can be expected that a relativistic jet will be seen if we perform a simulation for a longer time scale (of the order of 10-100 sec).

description: Potential scattering problems governed by the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation are investigated numerically for various values of coupling constants. The initial condition is assumed to have the Gaussian-type envelope, which differs from the soliton solution. The potential is chosen to be a box or well type. We estimate the dependences of reflectance and transmittance on the width of the potential and compare these results with those given by the stationary Schrödinger equation. We attribute the behaviors of these quantities to the limitation on the width of the nonlinear wave packet. The coupling constant and the width of the potential play an important role in the distribution of the waves appearing in the final state of scattering.

description: Suppose $C$ is a subset of non-zero vectors from the vector space $\mathbb{Z}_2^d$. The cubelike graph $X(C)$ has $\mathbb{Z}_2^d$ as its vertex set, and two elements of $\mathbb{Z}_2^d$ are adjacent if their difference is in $C$. If $M$ is the $d\times |C|$ matrix with the elements of $C$ as its columns, we call the row space of $M$ the code of $X$. We use this code to study perfect state transfer on cubelike graphs. Bernasconi et al have shown that perfect state transfer occurs on $X(C)$ at time $π/2$ if and only if the sum of the elements of $C$ is not zero. Here we consider what happens when this sum is zero. We prove that if perfect state transfer occurs on a cubelike graph, then it must take place at time $τ=π/2D$, where $D$ is the greatest common divisor of the weights of the code words. We show that perfect state transfer occurs at time $π/4$ if and only if D=2 and the code is self-orthogonal.

description: An N-body hybrid simulation, integrating both massive and tracer particles, of a Galactic disk is used to study the stellar phase space distribution or velocity distributions in different local neighborhoods. Pattern speeds identified in Fourier spectrograms suggest that two-armed and three-armed spiral density waves, a bar and a lopsided motion are coupled in this simulation, with resonances of one pattern lying near resonances of other patterns. We construct radial and tangential (uv) velocity distributions from particles in different local neighborhoods. More than one clump is common in these local velocity distributions regardless of the position in the disk. Features in the velocity distribution observed at one galactic radius are also seen in nearby neighborhoods (at larger and smaller radii) but with shifted mean v values. This is expected if the v velocity component of a clump sets the mean orbital galactic radius of its stars. We find that gaps in the velocity distribution are associated with the radii of kinks or discontinuities in the spiral arms. These gaps also seem to be associated with Lindblad resonances with spiral density waves and so denote boundaries between different dominant patterns in the disk. We discuss implications for interpretations of the Milky Way disk based on local velocity distributions. Velocity distributions created from regions just outside the bar's Outer Lindblad resonance and with the bar oriented at 45 degrees from the Sun-Galactic center line more closely resemble that seen in the solar neighborhood (triangular in shape at lower uv and with a Hercules like stream) when there is a strong nearby spiral arm, consistent with the observed Centaurus Arm tangent, just interior to the solar neighborhood.
