description: We report on the selective addressing of an individual atom in a pair of single-atom microtraps separated by $3\;μ$m. Using a tunable light-shift, we render the selected atom off-resonant with a global Rydberg excitation laser which is resonant with the other atom, making it possible to selectively block this atom from being excited to the Rydberg state. Furthermore we demonstrate the controlled manipulation of a two-atom entangled state by using the addressing beam to induce a phase shift onto one component of the wave function of the system, transferring it to a dark state for the Rydberg excitation light. Our results are an important step towards implementing quantum information processing and quantum simulation with large arrays of Rydberg atoms.

description: Fort Sam Houston, through the Residential Communities Initiative (RCI) partnership with Lincoln Military Housing is proposing an undertaking to alter the area identified as the laundry porch at Staff Post 9. Staff Post 9 is a property eligible for the national Register of Historic Places and is a contributing element to the Fort Sam Houston National Historic Landmark District. After careful examination of this proposal, the FSH Cultural Resource Staff has determined this undertaking will result in no adverse effect. This determination is based on the fact that the space to be altered is on the far northeast corner of the property and is not visible from the primary façade. Additionally, other areas of the porch adjacent to this area have been fully enclosed.

description: Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death. Survivors may sustain severe neurologic morbidity. There is negligible research specific to brain injury in drowning making current clinical management non-specific to this disorder. This review represents an evidence-based consensus effort to provide recommendations for management and investigation of the drowning victim. Epidemiology, brain-oriented prehospital and intensive care, therapeutic hypothermia, neuroimaging/monitoring, biomarkers, and neuroresuscitative pharmacology are addressed. When cardiac arrest is present, chest compressions with rescue breathing are recommended due to the asphyxial insult. In the comatose patient with restoration of spontaneous circulation, hypoxemia and hyperoxemia should be avoided, hyperthermia treated, and induced hypothermia (32–34 °C) considered. Arterial hypotension/hypertension should be recognized and treated. Prevent hypoglycemia and treat hyperglycemia. Treat clinical seizures and consider treating non-convulsive status epilepticus. Serial neurologic examinations should be provided. Brain imaging and serial biomarker measurement may aid prognostication. Continuous electroencephalography and N20 somatosensory evoked potential monitoring may be considered. Serial biomarker measurement (e.g., neuron specific enolase) may aid prognostication. There is insufficient evidence to recommend use of any specific brain-oriented neuroresuscitative pharmacologic therapy other than that required to restore and maintain normal physiology. Following initial stabilization, victims should be transferred to centers with expertise in age-specific post-resuscitation neurocritical care. Care should be documented, reviewed, and quality improvement assessment performed. Preclinical research should focus on models of asphyxial cardiac arrest. Clinical research should focus on improved cardiopulmonary resuscitation, re-oxygenation/reperfusion strategies, therapeutic hypothermia, neuroprotection, neurorehabilitation, and consideration of drowning in advances made in treatment of other central nervous system disorders.

Finnegans Wake, Storytelling, and the Antenarratives of Geopolitics
Creators: Kashani Lotfabadi, Mohammad M
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

This dissertation scrutinizes the effects of post-Einsteinian science on modes of storytelling, “tality,” generated in James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake that foster readings of world literature, late-modernist storytelling, global and Irish cultural memory, and geopolitics. I am looking into how the Wakean “tality” generates and (re)quests an antenarrative of futurity to reconceive geopolitics for a de facto independent Irish state. The Wake’s storytelling machine represents such geopolitics as spacetimemattering dynamics for the Irish state. I contend that form and content merge in Joyce’s opus to create a narratological universe that interlocutes with world literature classics. First, I interrogate and further Wakean scholarship through the study of narratological dynamics of world literature classics. Second, I look at the development of spatiotemporal spacetimemattering in the Wake that aims to transform the Global and Irish geopolitical spacetimes. Third, I elaborate on what I call Joyce’s “quantum theory of tality” to transpire his late modernist parameters of meaning. I read Joyce’s opus in tandem with the Qu’ran, The Thousand and One Nights, and The Epic of Gilgamesh to show that Ireland’s “longstanding and politically decisive narrative of national self-becoming” has been subject to areadings of global or cosmopolitan political consciousness (Brazeau 23). The outcome of this quantum theory of tality emerges as a state of post-postcoloniality with a “forward-looking” and “inward-looking” framework concerned with re-evaluating and re-positioning Ireland’s postcolonial discourses to mitigate its sociopolitical narratives within the global geopolitical spacetime and move away from the binarism in postcolonial dialectics (Etim 5). Finnegans Wake, I argue, enacts a discourse to unpin the dialectics of colonizers versus the colonized as a critical spacetimemattering of spatiotemporal self-determination in the borderlands of postcoloniality. It generates a pan-chronotopic rereading and rewriting of the Irish and global geopolitics.

description: Sustained intracranial hypertension and acute brain herniation are “brain codes,” signifying catastrophic neurological events that require immediate recognition and treatment to prevent irreversible injury and death. As in cardiac arrest, a brain code mandates the organized implementation of a stepwise management algorithm. The goal of this emergency neurological life support protocol is to implement an evidence-based, standardized approach to the evaluation and management of patients with intracranial hypertension and/or herniation.

description: The chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system linking the chemotaxis equations \[ n_t + u\cdot\nabla n = Δn - \nabla \cdot (nχ(c)\nabla c) \] and \[ c_t + u\cdot\nabla c = Δc-nf(c) \] to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, \[ u_t + (u\cdot\nabla)u = Δu +\nabla P + n \nabla Φ, \qquad \nabla \cdot u = 0, \] is considered under homogeneous boundary conditions of Neumann type for $n$ and $c$, and of Dirichlet type for $u$, in a bounded convex domain $Ω\subset R^3$ with smooth boundary, where $Φ\in W^{1,\infty}(Ω)$, and where $f\in C^1([0,\infty))$ and $χ\in C^2([0,\infty))$ are nonnegative with $f(0)=0$. Problems of this type have been used to describe the mutual interaction of populations of swimming aerobic bacteria with the surrounding fluid. Up to now, however, global existence results seem to be available only for certain simplified variants such as e.g.the two-dimensional analogue, or the associated chemotaxis-Stokes system obtained on neglecting the nonlinear convective term in the fluid equation. The present work gives an affirmative answer to the question of global solvability in the following sense: Under mild assumptions on the initial data, and under modest structural assumptions on $f$ and $χ$, inter alia allowing for the prototypical case when \[ f(s)=s \quad {for all} s\ge 0 \qquad {and} \qquad χ\equiv const., \] the corresponding initial-boundary value problem is shown to possess a globally defined weak solution.
Coupling Strength in Coulomb and Yukawa One-Component Plasmas

description: In a non-ideal classical Coulomb one-component plasma (OCP) all thermodynamic properties are known to depend only on a single parameter -- the coupling parameter $Γ$. In contrast, if the pair interaction is screened by background charges (Yukawa OCP) the thermodynamic state depends, in addition, on the range of the interaction via the screening parameter $κ$. How to determine in this case an effective coupling parameter has been a matter of intensive debate. Here we propose a consistent approach for defining and measuring the coupling strength in Coulomb and Yukawa OCPs based on a fundamental structural quantity, the radial pair distribution function (RPDF). The RPDF is often accessible in experiments by direct observation or indirectly through the static structure factor. Alternatively, it is directly computed in theoretical models or simulations. Our approach is based on the observation that the build-up of correlation from a weakly coupled system proceeds in two steps: First, a monotonically increasing volume around each particle becomes devoid of other particles (correlation hole), and second (upon further increase of the coupling), a shell structure emerges around each particle giving rise to growing peaks of the RPDF. Using molecular dynamics simulation, we present a systematic study for the dependence of these features of the RPDF on $Γ$ and $κ$ and derive a simple expression for the effective coupling parameter.
Pretty Good Strategies and Where to Find Them

description: Synthesis of bulletproof strategies in imperfect information scenarios is a notoriously hard problem. In this paper, we suggest that it is sometimes a viable alternative to aim at "reasonably good" strategies instead. This makes sense not only when an ideal strategy cannot be found due to the complexity of the problem, but also when no winning strategy exists at all. We propose an algorithm for synthesis of such "pretty good" strategies. The idea is to first generate a surely winning strategy with perfect information, and then iteratively improve it with respect to two criteria of dominance: one based on the amount of conflicting decisions in the strategy, and the other related to the tightness of its outcome set. We focus on reachability goals and evaluate the algorithm experimentally with very promising results.
Illumination of Convex Bodies with Symmetries in Dimensions 3 and 4
Creators: Sun, Wen R
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Let n ≥ 3 and B ⊂ ℝⁿ. The Illumination Conjecture states that the minimal number I(B) of directions/‘light sources’ that illuminate the boundary of a convex body B, which is not the affine image of a cube, is strictly less than 2ⁿ. The conjecture in most cases is widely open, and it has only been verified for certain special classes of convex bodies. For instance, significant progress in dimension 3 has been made for convex bodies with certain symmetries. Moreover, in large dimensions with dimension greater than some universal constant C, Konstantin Tikhomirov showed the conjecture in the setting of 1-symmetric bodies, but unfortunately there is a gap in his proof which still leaves a case to be handled. In addition, an explicit value for this constant C was not computed. The natural question which follows from Tikhomirov’s paper is whether we can use Tikhomirov’s method for 1-symmetric bodies or 1-unconditional bodies in low dimensions. In this thesis, we will first fill the gap in Tikhomirov’s results. Through this process, we are also able to prove the Illumination Conjecture, with bound 2ⁿ (and not < 2ⁿ), for any 1-symmetric convex body regardless of dimension. Additionally, we are able to show that for 1-symmetric convex bodies in dimensions 3 and 4, I(B) ≤ 7 and I(B) ≤ 15, respectively. Finally, we are also able to show that for 1-unconditional polytopes in dimensions 3 and 4, I(B) ≤ 6 and I(B) ≤ 16, respectively.

Single Centre Experience with Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy: Prognostic Factors and Development of a Prognostication Model
Creators: Anderson, Nicole M
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) continues to carry prognostic uncertainty despite therapeutic hypothermia (TH) becoming standard of care in high income nations. Prognostic factors have been identified with recent evidence relying on factors that are available later in a hospital admission such as brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Further, most of the research utilizes a composite outcome of death or disability which makes it difficult to apply findings to patient-specific conversations at the bedside. In this thesis, we conducted a systematic review to identify early prognostic factors (those that can be identified in the first 72 hours) from randomized control trials (RCTs) of TH for neonatal HIE. This review identified pre-randomization, biochemical and clinical factors which were then used to guide model development from a cohort of infants with HIE in Edmonton, Alberta since 2006. We developed a regression model for early and late prediction of death in addition to a prediction model for significant/severe neurodevelopmental impairment (sNDI). The early prediction model included receipt of phenobarbital, hypotension receiving inotrope(s), severe HIE (as per Sarnat staging), chest compressions and perinatal sentinel event. The late prediction model for death included the above factors in addition to renal dysfunction. The prediction model for sNDI included receipt of phenobarbital, hypoglycemia, abnormal MRI, electrolyte abnormality and 10-minute Apgar score less than 5. Using the same cohort, classification and regression tree (CART) analysis was used to develop prediction models for death and sNDI. The CART models outperformed the logistic regression models for measures of sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value, thereby providing a clinical picture of what survival and NDI-free survival would look like. According to the separate models, an infant who did not require inotropes for hypotension or receive phenobarbital would have a very low chance of death or sNDI. The findings from this thesis will improve bedside conversations by decreasing prognostic uncertainty, allow for the identification of high-risk infants and ensure appropriate triage for neonatal follow-up.

Hindsight Rational Learning for Sequential Decision-Making: Foundations and Experimental Applications
Creators: Morrill, Dustin
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

This thesis develops foundations for the development of dependable, scalable reinforcement learning algorithms with strong connections to game theory. I present a version of rationality for learning---one grounded in the learner's experience and connected with the rationality concepts of optimality and equilibrium---that demands resiliency to uncertainty, environmental changes, and adversarial pressures. This notion of hindsight rationality is based on regret, a well-known concept for evaluating a sequence of decisions with unilateral deviations. I show that in sequential decision-making tasks, there are many natural deviation sets with critical practical differences beyond those previously studied. I design and implement three extensions to the counterfactual regret minimization (CFR) algorithm, one that is observably sequentially hindsight rational for any given subset of deviations within a broad class; a second that generalizes regression CFR; and a third that applies to continuing Markov decision processes and robust optimization tasks.

The first part develops hindsight rationality and the partially observable history process (POHP) formalism for concisely describing multi-agent sequential decision-making from a single agent's perspective.The second part develops the foundations of defining, analyzing, and using deviations in finite-horizon POHPs to develop efficient hindsight rational algorithms, and the practical consequences of designing algorithms around different deviation sets. The third and final part describes experimental applications of these foundations that use function approximation and condensed domain representations to effectively play games and learn cautious behavior in safety challenges.

Fourier Pipeflow Manipulation for Thermal Energy Systems
Creators: Salem, Nawaf Talal Mohammed
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

This dissertation numerically evaluates the performance of targeted wall-shape pipe inserts on reducing heat convection and frictional drag of turbulent pipeflow at a range of Reynolds numbers, Re = 2.5 × 10^4 − 7.5 × 10^4. The wall modifications are constructed to closely follow three azazimuthal Fourier modes corresponding to m = 3 (Case I), 15 (Case II), and 3+15 (Case III). The implementation of these pipe-inserts generates flow features that can render significant improvements to the efficiency of subsurface thermal processes, including extraction and harvesting of geothermal energy. First, thermal response is investigated by characterizing mean flow and convective heat transfer features downstream of the pipe-inserts at Re = 7.5 × 104. Particularly, the results exhibit a maximum reduction of 9% in near-wall heat transfer for Case II and Case III, compared to a smooth pipe. The fully-developed thermal condition is recovered at an axial location of x/D = 40 from the perturbation, where D is the pipe diameter. Further, a significant attenuation in skin-frictional drag is observed, hinting at maximum decrease of 17.4% and 16.5% for

Case II and Case III, respectively. At x = 2D−10D following the inserts, the maximum averaged contractions in near-wall heat transfer and frictional drag are depicted for Case II, corresponding to 3.4% and 5.0%, respectively. The wall modification of Case I results in a relatively minor impact on convective heat transfer and frictional drag, before returning to fully-recovered state. Reynolds number implications suggest increasing reductions of near-wall convective heat transfer and frictional drag with decreasing Re. The maximum reductions of 10.5% and 20.5% in near-wall convective heat transfer and frictional drag are achieved at the lowest Reynolds number of 2.5×10^4, indicating averaged reductions of 5.7% and 8.3% within x = 2D−10D, respectively. Increasing Reynolds number delays heat transfer recovery, which depicts an asymptotic trend for Re ≥ 5.0×10^4. This research found that targeted wall-shape pipe inserts contribute to mitigation

of near-wall convective heat transfer with a decrease in frictional drag. These contributions hint at extensive enhancements to the efficiency of energy extraction and transportation in subsurface thermal applications.

Monitoring insect diversity and parasitism levels in alfalfa seed production fields in western Canada

Alfalfa, Medicago sativa (L.) (Fabales: Fabaceae), is an excellent source of high protein feed for livestock. Canada is the second largest producer of alfalfa seed (4.2 M kg/year) in the world, with the vast majority of production concentrated in the province of Alberta. The productivity of these fields is threatened by an invasive insect, the alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) as well as a myriad of other potential insect pests. Recently, insecticide resistance was confirmed in several alfalfa weevil populations in Alberta, and few other management options exist. Many natural enemies of alfalfa insect pests are present in Alberta, including biological control agents of alfalfa weevil, Bathyplectes curculionis (Thomson) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) and Oomyzus incertus (Ratzeburg) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae); however, the distribution of these species and their parasitism levels are currently unknown. Here, we assessed the current diversity and distribution of insects in alfalfa seed production fields, with special emphasis on parasitism levels of B. curculionis and O. incertus throughout southern Alberta. A survey was conducted to collect insects, including alfalfa weevil larvae, from seed production fields in 2020 and 2021. During this survey, insect collections were taken from fields at three crop stages: bud, flower and seed, these insects were sorted to guild (pest of alfalfa or natural enemy of pests) and identified to genus and species. In addition, alfalfa weevil larval samples were collected weekly from the end of May to the beginning of July to assess the activity period of these parasitoids, finding parasitism activity throughout the month of June and into July. Parasitism levels based on the multiplex PCR assay were comparable to live rearing and ranged from 0-90% across sites. Assessing when and where these parasitoids occur, as well has how the two guilds interact will allow growers to better utilize these biological control agents and, ultimately, reduce spray applications.

description: Gastric slow waves propagate in the electrical syncytium of the healthy stomach, being generated at a rate of approximately three times per minute in a pacemaker region along the greater curvature of the antrum and propagating distally towards the pylorus. Disease states are known to alter the normal gastric slow wave. Recent studies have suggested the use of biomagnetic techniques for assessing parameters of the gastric slow wave that have potential diagnostic significance. We present a study in which the gastric syncytium was uncoupled by mechanical division as we recorded serosal electric potentials along with multichannel biomagnetic signals and cutaneous potentials. By computing the surface current density (SCD) from multichannel biomagnetic recordings, we were able to quantify gastric slow wave propagation as well as the frequency and amplitude of the slow wave and to show that these correlate well with similar parameters from serosal electrodes. We found the dominant slow wave frequency to be an unreliable indicator of gastric uncoupling as uncoupling results in the appearance of multiple slow wave sources at various frequencies in external recordings. The percentage of power distributed in specific frequency ranges exhibited significant postdivision changes. Propagation velocity determined from SCD maps was a weak indicator of uncoupling in this work; we believe that the relatively low spatial resolution of our 19-channel biomagnetometer confounds the characterization of spatial variations in slow wave propagation velocities. Nonetheless, the biomagnetic technique represents a non-invasive method for accurate determination of clinically significant parameters of the gastric slow wave.

description: Our work is based on the stacked weak-lensing analysis of a sample of 80 strong-lensing galaxy groups. Our main results are the following: (i) the lensing signal does not allow us to firmly reject a simple singular isothermal sphere mass distribution compared to the expected NFW mass profile; (ii) we obtain an average concentration $c_{200}=8.6_{-1.3}^{+2.1}$ that is much higher than the expected value from numerical simulations for the corresponding average mass $M_{200}=0.73_{-0.10}^{+0.11}\times10^{14}\mathrm{M_{\odot}}$; (iii) the combination of our results with those at larger mass scales gives a mass-concentration relation $c(M)$ over nearly two decades in mass, with a slope in disagreement with predictions from numerical simulations using unbiased populations of dark matter haloes; (iv) our combined $c(M)$ relation matches results from simulations using only haloes with a large strong-lensing cross section, i.e. elongated with a major axis close to the line of sight; (v) for the simplest case of prolate haloes, we estimate with a toy model a lower limit on the minor:major axis ratio $a/c=0.5$ for the average SARCS galaxy group. Our analysis based on galaxy groups confirmed the results obtained at larger mass scales: strong lenses present apparently too large concentrations, which can be explained by triaxial haloes preferentially oriented with the line of sight. Because more massive systems already have large lensing cross sections, they do not require a large elongation along the line of sight, contrary to less massive galaxy groups. Therefore, it is natural to observe larger lensing (projected) concentrations for such systems, resulting in an overall mass-concentration relation steeper than that of non-lensing haloes.

description: This deliverable is an academic paper published in the LEM (Laboratory of Economics and Management) working paper series from the Institute of Economics at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, entitled 'Digitalization, copyright and innovation in the creative industries: an agent-based model'. ABSTRACT: The ambiguity of the empirical results on the relationship between copyright and creativity calls for a better theoretical understanding of the issue, possibly enlarging the analysis to other factors such as technology and copyright enforcement. This paper addresses these complex policy issues by developing an agent-based model (ABM) to study how the interplay between digitization and copyright enforcement affects the production and access to cultural goods. The model includes creators who compete in different submarkets and invest in activities that might lead to the generation of creative outputs in existing submarkets, new (to the creators) submarkets, or in newly “invented” submarkets. Finally, the model features a copyright system that provides creators with the exclusive right to reproduce their original copies and a pirate market responsible for creating and distributing pirated copies.

description: Applying ozone removal devices in ventilation systems is an effective way to reduce building occupant exposure to ozone. However, the test method on ozone removal devices has not been fully validated. Little is known about the performance of commercially-available ozone removal devices under realistic usage conditions. Additionally, the device performance in building ventilation systems can be affected by a wide range of environmental and operating conditions. This dissertation aims to 1) assess the test method of ozone removal devices and introduce modifications, 2) evaluate and compare a list of devices and identify important device characteristics, 3) quantify the impact of usage conditions on device performance, and 4) develop a mechanistic model for device performance prediction. A prolonged test protocol “Ozone Stress Test” and several metrics for evaluating device performance were proposed, and results of this new test protocol were compared to the existing ASHRAE Standard 145.2 method. Results show that activated carbon-based devices had a high degradation rate at the beginning of exposure to ozone or exposure to significantly increased ozone, so a short test (i.e., 1-h initial efficiency test and 4-h capacity test in Standard 145.2) overestimated device performance. A total of 14 ozone removal devices that utilize various technologies were tested by the ozone stress test. Results show a wide range of single-pass removal efficiency from 3% to 93% at 70 ppb, and all devices degraded at a slow rate at 500 ppb. The loading and source of carbon had a significant impact on the efficiency of activated carbon filters. The impact of temperature, relative humidity, ozone concentration, approach air speed, and intermittent exposure on the ozone removal performance of activated carbon filters and one metal oxide catalyst filter were systematically evaluated. Within the realistic range, temperature, relative humidity, and ozone concentration had very small effect on device performance, but an increase in air speed decreased efficiency significantly. Activated carbon filters regenerated after a break, while metal oxide did not. The dynamic and quasi-steady-state device performance was successfully explained by a plug flow reactor model.
