description: In finitely cocomplete homological categories, co-smash products give rise to (possibly higher-order) commutators of subobjects. We use binary and ternary co-smash products and the associated commutators to give characterisations of internal crossed modules and internal categories, respectively. The ternary terms are redundant if the category has the Smith is Huq property, which means that two equivalence relations on a given object commute precisely when their normalisations do. In fact, we show that the difference between the Smith commutator of such relations and the Huq commutator of their normalisations is measured by a ternary commutator, so that the Smith is Huq property itself can be characterised by the relation between the latter two commutators. This allows to show that the category of loops does not have the Smith is Huq property, which also implies that ternary commutators are generally not decomposable into nested binary ones. Thus, in contexts where Smith is Huq need not hold, we obtain a new description of internal categories, Beck modules and double central extensions, as well as a decomposition formula for the Smith commutator. The ternary commutator now also appears in the Hopf formula for the third homology with coefficients in the abelianisation functor.

description: Pinpointing the origin of inefficiency can expedite the process of optimizing the efficiency of perovskite photovoltaics. However, it is challenging to discern and quantify the different loss pathways in a complete perovskite photovoltaic device under operational conditions. To address this challenge, we propose a modified diode model that can quantify bulk/interface defect-assisted recombination and series/shunt resistive losses. By adopting drift-diffusion simulation as the benchmark, we explore the physical meanings of the modified diode model parameters and evaluate the performance of the model for simulation parameters spanning many orders of magnitude. Our evaluation shows that, in most practical cases, the proposed model can accurately quantify all the aforementioned losses, and in some special cases, it is possible to identify the predominant loss pathway. Moreover, we apply the modified diode model to our lab-produced devices (based on Cs0.05FA0.95PbI3 perovskites), demonstrating its effectiveness in quantifying entangled losses in practice. Finally, we provide a set of guidelines for applying the modified diode model and interpreting the results. Source code available at https://github.com/WPT-Lab124/Modified-Diode-Model.

description: It is widely believed that quadratic divergences severely restrict natural constructions of particle physics models beyond the standard model (SM). Supersymmetry provides a beautiful solution, but the recent LHC experiments have excluded large parameter regions of supersymmetric extensions of the SM. It will now be important to reconsider whether we have been misinterpreting the quadratic divergences in field theories. In this paper, we revisit the problem from the viewpoint of the Wilsonian renormalization group and argue that quadratic divergences, which can always be absorbed into a position of the critical surface, should be simply subtracted in model constructions. Such a picture gives another justification to the argument that the scale invariance of the SM, except for the soft-breaking terms, is an alternative solution to the naturalness problem. It also largely broadens possibilities of model constructions beyond the SM since we just need to take care of logarithmic divergences, which cause mixings of various physical scales and runnings of couplings.

Can type II Semi-local cosmic strings form?

description: We present the simplest possible model for a semi-local string defect in which a U(1) gauged subgroup of an otherwise global SU(2) is broken to produce local cosmic strings endowed with current-carrying properties. Restricting attention to type II vortices for which the non current-carrying state is unstable, we show that a condensate must form microscopically and macroscopically evolve towards a chiral configuration. It has been suggested that such configurations could potentially exist in a stable state, thereby inducing large cosmological consequences based on equilibrium angular momentum supported loop configurations (vortons). Here we show that the current itself induces a macroscopic (longitudinal) instability: we conclude that type II semi-local cosmic strings cannot form in a cosmological context.

An ion exchange loading correlation for the simulation of base metal resin-in-pulp circuits
Creators: name: McKevitt, Bethan Ruth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis investigates the loading rate of nickel onto an iminodiacetic ion exchange resin, with the goal of gaining insight into operation of a base metals resin-in-pulp (RIP) circuit. A modified pH-stat method was used to generate loading data under infinite solution volume conditions. A comparison of several commercially available iminodiacetic resins was performed, using this method. The standard linear approach to equilibrium was found to fit well to the portion of loading under film diffusion control, but none of the standard engineering approximations could adequately describe the data from the intraparticle diffusion / exchange rate limited regime. A hybrid correlation was developed and was found to adequately describe single element loading of nickel, copper, and cobalt from synthetic solution. In order to know which of the two models to use at a given point in time, a modified Helfferich number was derived. This dimensionless number can be used to track when the resin bead switches from film diffusion control to intraparticle diffusion control. The experimental fit parameters of the film diffusion model and the hybrid correlation were used to successfully predict the results of batch experiments with varying solution concentration. The effectiveness of these equations were also assessed and verified through the operation of a five stage RIP miniplant, using synthetic solutions. Using these circuit models, various RIP circuit operating configurations were simulated. Results from these simulations suggest that all operating configurations and strategies have both advantages and disadvantages. A table summarizing the process sensitivity of a cascade circuit to various operating conditions has been generated.

description: There is a dearth of research on women with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and women’s voices and experiences of ADHD need to be better heard and understood. This qualitative inquiry aimed to better understand the lived and holistic experiences of women with ADHD in Alberta Canada, and how their experiences impacted identity and sense of self. A holistic perspective was chosen as it considers not only the mind, but the body and spirituality of the individual which are important to understanding self and experience. This study interviewed six adult women from Alberta, Canada using a narrative inquiry methodology. Themes presented from the narratives included 1) ‘feeling like an alien’ and experiences of alienation from self and social worlds; 2) differences in male and female experiences; 3) narratives of self-discovery, acceptance, and redefining success; 4) narratives on the importance of relationships; 5) narratives on identity and ADHD; 6) narratives on a holistic sense of self. This study presented an important perspective and insight into the worlds of women living with ADHD, and additionally exposed several gaps in the literature that would be important for further social work research and informing practice.

description: One of the central challenges in materials science is the design of functional and multifunctional materials, in which large responses are produced by applied fields and stresses. A rapidly developing paradigm for the rational design of such materials is based on the first-principles study of a large materials family, the perovskite oxides being the prototypical case. Specifically, first-principles calculations of structure and properties are used to explore the microscopic origins of the functional properties of interest and to search a large space of equilibrium and metastable phases to identify promising candidate systems. In this paper, we use a first-principles rational-design approach to demonstrate semiconducting half-Heusler compounds as a previously-unrecognized class of piezoelectric materials, and to provide guidance for the experimental realization and further investigation of high-performance materials suitable for practical applications.

We prove that the group of all class preserving automorphisms of $Γ_{n,k}$ is equal to $\Inn(Γ_{n,k})$ if and only if $K$ is a prime field. Let $G_n^{(m)} := \mathrm{UT}_n (\mathbb{F}_{p^m}) / γ_3 (\mathrm{UT}_n(\mathbb{F}_{p^m}))$.

Molecular phenotyping of cell wall development in the Arabidopsis thaliana primary stem
Creators: name: Hall, Hardy Craig
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Plant cell walls are sophisticated, dynamic structures that play a vital role in coordinating the directional growth of plant tissues. The rapid elongation of the inflorescence stem in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana is accompanied by radical changes in cell wall structure and chemistry, but the study of the underlying mechanisms has been hampered by difficulties in sampling discrete developmental states along the developing stem. I have created a novel sampling approach that allows me to sample stem tissues representing specific and distinct developmental phases (elongation rate increase, maximum growth rate, and growth cessation) from individual plants, by use of time-lapse imagery and computational analysis of growth kinematic profiles. This high-resolution growth context enables the harvest of pooled, developmentally-matched samples that I then used for transcriptome profiling of growth-characterized stem segments, and for immunohistochemical analysis of growth-associated cell wall epitopes in specific cell types within stem crosssections. The resulting transcript profiles have identified dozens of genes, both known and novel, whose expression is coupled to these growth transitions. Unique cell typespecific epitope patterns were observed during the most rapid phase of elongation, providing evidence for structural divergence of cell walls among these cell types despite a common developmental environment of diffuse elongation. This study has thus produced two global perspectives of the cellular events accompanying the transition from early differentiation through maximum anisotropic cell expansion to growth cessation and secondary cell wall maturation, in a single organ. The results collectively provide important hypothesis-generating insights anchored to a precise developmental scaffold of cell wall differentiation established through growth kinematic profiling.

description: Heat stress (HS) is a worldwide problem due to temperature elevations associated with global warming. Monitoring temperature changes in testes and scrotum over time is important to understand thermoregulatory capacity of testes and scrotum. Temperature data loggers (DLs) are reliable devices that can be implanted in scrotal subcutaneous tissues to serially record intrascrotal temperature without altering animal behavior. Testicular HS causes a variety of outcomes, depending on the degree and duration of testicular heating. Some effects of testicular HS on testicular tissues, blood flow and sperm quality and attempts to prevent them, by treating animals or semen extender, have been reported. The overall objective of this study was to investigate impacts of HS on sperm quality and use various ameliorative strategies to mitigate these detrimental effects, using bull and ram models. We validated data loggers as a reliable, less invasive and serial method to measure intrascrotal temperature. Scrotal subcutaneous temperature was significantly increased by scrotal insulation or whole-body heating, but not by scrotal neck insulation; however, all three heat-stress models decreased sperm motility and morphology in bulls and rams. In addition, our hypothesis that melatonin or L-arginine improve quality of frozen-thawed sperm from HS rams was supported; 1 mM of either gave best results, except 0.5 mM minimized DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI%). Moreover, during hot weather, bulls voluntarily accessed shade, significantly lowering scrotal subcutaneous temperatures and improving sperm quality. In rams exposed to testicular HS, slow-release melatonin significantly improved testicular blood flow, protected sperm motility and morphology, and lessened HS-induced reductions in post-thaw sperm quality. Therefore, melatonin has potential for mitigating effects of testicular HS under field conditions.

description: Many mainstream robust control/estimation algorithms for power networks are designed using the Lyapunov theory as it provides performance guarantees for linear/nonlinear models of uncertain power networks but comes at the expense of scalability and sensitivity. In particular, Lyapunov-based approaches rely on forming semi-definite programs (SDPs) that are (i) not scalable and (ii) extremely sensitive to the choice of the bounding scalar that ensures the strict feasibility of the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). This paper addresses these two issues by employing a celebrated non-Lyapunov approach (NLA) from the control theory literature. In lieu of linearized models of power grids, we focus on (the more representative) nonlinear differential algebraic equation (DAE) models and showcase the simplicity, scalability, and parameter-resiliency of NLA. For some power systems, the approach is nearly fifty times faster than solving SDPs via standard solvers with almost no impact on the performance. The case studies also demonstrate that NLA can be applied to more realistic scenarios in which (i) only partial state data is available and (ii) sparsity structures are imposed on the feedback gain. The paper also showcases that virtually no degradation in state estimation quality is experienced when applying NLA.

description: A wide range of bacteria is known to be capable of synthesizing metallic nanoparticles. One such bacterium, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, can reduce palladium ions to elemental palladium (Pd) and form nanoparticles that attach to the surface of the cells. Previous research has been concerned with utilizing this ability as an innovative method for the production of precious metals, but the impact of these surface associated metallic nanoparticles on bacterial metabolism has not previously been investigated. In addition, the amount of Pd that a microbe can reduce in this manner has also not been explored. Desulfovibrio species can exist as members of the microbial community inside low carbon steel oil and gas pipelines and play a role in internal microbially influenced corrosion as a result of the production of hydrogen sulfide from sulfate reduction and the oxidation of steel. This study demonstrates the remarkable extent to which Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and Desulfovibrio ferrophilus IS5 can be coated with locally generated metal nanoparticles, with individual cells carrying more than 100 times their mass of palladium metal. The effect of metal coating mass on metabolism and replication for a wide range of loadings is also studied, revealing that Desulfovibrio spp. are unable to utilize sulfate for iron oxidation at a specific threshold which further prevents the formation of corrosive sulfide. This work also demonstrates for the first time that the Desulfovibrio spp. studied are capable of self assembling a variety of structures through metal reduction, forming unique biological-palladium scaffolds. Furthermore, D. ferrophilus IS5 rapidly produces microbial nanowires in response to palladium reduction, interlinking with neighbouring bacterial cells. This further adds to the complexity and range of potential self assembled nanomaterials. These findings offer a new method for preventing internal pipeline corrosion and a novel approach to self-assembled materials.

description: For uniaxial easy axis films, properties of magnetic domains are usually described within the Kittel model, which assumes that domain walls are much thinner than the domains. In this work we present a simple model that includes a proper description of the magnetostatic energy of domains and domain walls and also takes into account the interaction between both surfaces of the film. Our model describes the behavior of domain and wall widths as a function of film thickness, and is especially well suited for the strong stripe phase. We prove the existence of a critical value of magneto-crystalline anisotropy above which stripe domains exist for any film thickness and justify our model by comparison with exact results. The model is in good agreement with experimental data for hcp cobalt.

SM sensitivity, however, has been reached for Bs --> mu+ mu- rate, and there may be some hint for a suppression. We illustrate that, if a suppressed B(Bs --> mu+ mu-) bears out with 2012 data, it would imply a lower bound on the fourth generation quark mixing product |V_{t's}^*V_{t'b}|.

description: According to a recent modified model of gravity at large distances, a radial constant and uniform extra-acceleration A_Rin of Rindler type acts upon a test particle p in the static field of a central mass M if certain conditions are satisfied. Among other things, it was proposed as a potentially viable explanation of a part of the Pioneer anomaly. We study the impact that an anomalous Rindler-type term as large as |A_Rin| \sim 10^-10 m s^-2 may have on the the orbital dynamics of a typical object of the Oort cloud whose self-energy is quite smaller than its putative Rindler energy. By taking a typical comet moving along a highly eccentric and inclined orbit throughout the expected entire extension of the Oort cloud (0.02 pc-1 pc), it turns out that the addition of an outward Rindler-like acceleration, i.e. for A_Rin > 0, does not allow bound orbits. Instead, if A_Rin < 0, the resulting numerically integrated trajectory is limited in space, but it radically differs from the standard Keplerian ellipse. In particular, the heliocentric distance of the comet gets markedly reduced and experiences high frequency oscillations, its speed is increased, and the overall pattern of the trajectory is quite isotropic. As a consequence, the standard picture of the Oort cloud is radically altered since its modified orbits are much less sensitive to the disturbing actions of the Galactic tide and nearby passing stars whose effects, in the standard scenario, are responsible for the phenomenology on which our confidence in the existence of the cloud itself is based. The present analysis may be supplemented in future by further statistical Monte Carlo-type investigations by randomly varying the initial conditions of the comets.

description: Most out-of-the-box institutional repository systems don’t provide the workflows and metadata features required for research data. Consequently, many libraries now support two institutional repository systems—one for publications, and one for research data—even when there are nearly a thousand data repositories in the United States, many of which provide services and policies that ensure their trustworthiness and suitability for institutional research data. Libraries are either increasing spending by purchasing data repository solutions from vendors, or replicating work by building, customizing, and managing individual instances of data repository software. This presentation suggests a potential solution to this issue: a prototype for an open source Institutional Research Data Index (IRDI) that promotes discovery and reuse of institutional datasets through automatic metadata harvesting and search engine optimization. IRDI could lead to a single, unified index for academic institutional research data. A unified data index would lead to three key impacts: increasing discovery, reuse, and citation of open research data; reinforcing the idea that research data is a legitimate scholarly product; and promoting community-wide systems that require less resource expenditure.

description: We consider two lattice models for strongly correlated electrons which are exactly-solvable in one dimension. Along with the Hubbard model and the su(2|2) spin chain, these are the only parity-invariant models that can be obtained from Shastry's R-matrix. One exhibits itinerant ferromagnetic behaviour, while for the other the electrons form bound pairs and at half-filling the model becomes insulating. We derive the TBA equations for the models, analyze them at various limits, and in particular obtain zero temperature phase diagrams. Furthermore we consider extensions of the models, which reduce to the Essler-Korepin-Schoutens model in certain limits.

Characterization of tumour vasculature with dynamic contrast enhanced MRI and Gd-hyperbranched polyglycerols
Creators: name: McPhee, Kelly Catherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Tumour tissue is highly heterogeneous with disordered vasculature that is characteristically highly permeable relative to other normal tissue blood vessels. Non-invasive investigation of tumour vasculature may be achieved using Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). Pharmacokinetic modelling of contrast agent uptake can provide information about blood flow and vessel permeability, but modelling is limited due to the ability of typical contrast agents such as Gd-DTPA to extravasate and accumulate in tumour tissue. The hypothesis motivating this work is that DCE-MRI measurements with both high and low molecular weight contrast agent uptake will allow for improved interpretation of the tumour micro-environment. A new high molecular weight contrast agent comprised of hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG) molecules doubly labelled with gadolinium and a fluorescent marker is characterized, and used along side a standard low molecular weight contrast agent, Gadovist (Bayer Healthcare). Histological data reveals that HPG extravasates slowly from vasculature, and remains near blood vessels over the time-frame of a DCE-MRI experiment. HPG was also found to accumulate in tumour tissue over days, peaking at 2-4 days. HPG was found to be inappropriate for pharmacokinetic modelling, due to relatively low enhancement in the DCE-MRI data. Parameter maps showing bolus arrival time of HPG throughout the tumour show increased sensitivity to necrosis relative to Gadovist. Initial area under the HPG-concentration time curve was found to be correlated with vascular density. Modelling of DCE-MRI data should be performed with a model appropriate to the tissue, contrast agent, and data available. While simpler models are not able to distinguish blood flow from permeability, data quality is not necessarily sufficient to justify the use of a more complex model. This problem is addressed in this work by modelling contrast agent uptake with system of increasingly complex models, and the Akaike information criterion was used to determine that a general two compartment exchange model was more appropriate than the extended Tofts model for pharmacokinetic modelling of DCE-MRI with a standard contrast agent.

description: We numerically analyze the evolution of a two-dimensional dilatonic black hole, within the CGHS model. We focus our attention on the finite-mass corrections to the universal evaporation rate which applies at the large-mass limit. Our numerical results confirm a previous theoretical prediction for the first-order ($\propto 1/M$) correction. In addition, our results strongly suggest that the next-order ($\propto 1/M^{2}$) term vanishes, and provide a rough estimate for the third-order term.

Lattice QCD analysis for Faddeev-Popov eigenmodes in terms of gluonic momentum components in the Coulomb gauge

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: We analyze the relation between Faddeev-Popov eigenmodes and gluon-momentum components in the Coulomb gauge using SU(3) lattice QCD. In the Coulomb gauge, the color-Coulomb energy is largely enhanced by near-zero Faddeev-Popov eigenmodes, which would lead to the confining potential. By the ultraviolet-momentum gluon cut, the color-Coulomb energy and the Faddeev-Popov spectrum are almost unchanged. In contrast to the ultraviolet insensitivity, the color-Coulomb energy and the Faddeev-Popov eigenmodes drastically change by infrared-momentum gluon cut. Without infrared gluons, the color-Coulomb energy tends to become non-confining, and near-zero Faddeev-Popov eigenmodes vanish. We also investigate the full FP eigenmodes, and find that infrared gluons widely influence both high and low Faddeev-Popov eigenmodes.
