description: In 1980 Rostislav Grigorchuk constructed a group $G$ of intermediate growth, and later obtained the following estimates on its growth $γ$: $e^{\sqrt{n}}\precsimγ(n)\precsim e^{n^β},$ where $β=\log_{32}(31)\approx0.991$. He conjectured that the lower bound is actually tight. In this paper we improve the lower bound to $e^{n^α}\precsimγ(n),$ where $α\approx0.5157$, with the aid of a computer. This disproves the conjecture that the lower bound be tight.

description: Juanita Nieslen (1937 -75) was a wealthy young woman in Sydney who ran a newspaper "Now" which was a vehicle for her views, in particular, the buying up and demolishing of elegant old terrace houses to redevelop Kings Cross, which involved the harassment of tenants living in the area. She disappeared after a meeting in a club owned by Abe Saffron, and her dissappearance has never been solved. Due to corruption in the NSW police at that time, the original investigation was bungled -- perhaps deliberately -- but a thorough coronial equiry was not held until 1983, 8 years after her disappearance. The piece is dedicated to Jon Rose, who lived in NSW for many years, and the string performance techniques are inspired by him. The score reflects my impressions of this story -- a young woman's life moving forwards, ending by being cut up and dispersed, only to followed by a slow reflection on her past. The work was premiered by Decibel at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts in September 2012.

Threshold coupling strength for equilibration between small systems

description: In this paper we study the thermal equilibration of small bipartite Bose-Hubbard systems, both quantum mechanically and in mean-field approximation. In particular we consider small systems composed of a single-mode "thermometer" coupled to a three-mode "bath", with no additional environment acting on the four-mode system, and test the hypothesis that the thermometer will thermalize if and only if the bath is chaotic. We find that chaos in the bath alone is neither necessary nor sufficient for equilibration in these isolated four-mode systems. The two subsystems can thermalize if the combined system is chaotic even when neither subsystem is chaotic in isolation, and under full quantum dynamics there is a minimum coupling strength between the thermometer and the bath below which the system does not thermalize even if the bath itself is chaotic. We show that the quantum coupling threshold scales like $1/N$ (where $N$ is the total particle number), so that the classical results are obtained in the limit $N\rightarrow \infty$.

description: The current study examined the correlations between parental reflective functioning and children’s phonological awareness and reading-related neural development (measured via a phoneme-processing experiment using EEG), and its utility as a predictor of children’s reading skills one year later when they have begun literacy education.
      Fourteen pre-readers’ (mean age 4.51 years) phonological awareness and their parents’ reflective functioning skills were assessed, along with their EEG responses in a phoneme- processing task. Children’s phonological awareness and emergent reading skills were assessed again 12-15 months later, at the start of First Grade.
      Left-lateralized neural indices were observed to be correlated with parental reflective functioning (PRF) and children’s later reading-related skills. Specifically, scores on measures of PRF: Interest & Curiosity were positively correlated with the N2 amplitude in the left temporal cortex (p = 0.049), and the P2 amplitude in the left temporal cortex was also correlated with children’s Phonological Awareness scores (p = 0.004) and with their Basic Reading scores (p = 0.002) one year later. Multiple linear regression analyses also revealed that scores on measures of PRF: Interest and Curiosity significantly predicted children’s future phonological awareness (p = 0.014) and basic reading skills (p = 0.002). This study is the first of its kind to identify correlations between parental engagement and neural indices of children’s pre-reading skills, and to reveal parental reflective functioning as a strong predictor of children’s later reading abilities.

description: Using a new time-dependent measure, we demonstrate for the first time that each defect in a representative defect-mediated spatiotemporally chaotic system is associated with one to two degrees of dynamical freedom. Furthermore, we show that not all dynamical degrees of freedom are related to the defects; additional degrees of freedom are due to underlying phase turbulence. These results yield a deeper understanding of the dynamical role of defects and provide hope that these complicated systems might be reduced to simpler descriptions.

Education--Parent participation

description: Transition from high school to adulthood for students with developmental disabilities is a monumental stage for both the individual and his or her family. Past research has shown that one of the most salient predictors of students’ successful transition is their parents’ involvement with transition planning, however, during this time parent involvement often declines (Grigal & Neubert, 2004). The current study examined parent involvement and knowledge during the transition from high school to adulthood for the parents of young adults with developmental disabilities.  Participants included a diverse sample of 55 parents in an urban school district who had youth with special needs between the ages of 14 and 22.  The present study examined parental psychosocial factors, demographic factors, parents’ experiences during the transition process, and three dimensions of their educational involvement: school involvement, transition involvement, and transition knowledge. The study found that parent experiences during the transition period (IEP familiarity, perceived teacher invitations, and perceived time and energy) as well as the socio-economics of school neighborhood, were the most salient factors associated with parental involvement and knowledge. The study offers suggestions for future research, policy, and intervention ideas to assist in improving parents’ positive experiences during the transition process. These suggestions aim in increasing parental involvement and knowledge during an important time in their youths’ educational development.

description: We calculate the $S$-matrix element for the Higgs boson decay to a $Z$-boson and a photon, $h\to Zγ$, at one-loop in the Standard-Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) framework and in linear $R_ξ$-gauges. Our SMEFT expansion includes all relevant operators up to dimension-6 considered in Warsaw basis without resorting to any flavour or CP-conservation assumptions. Within this approximation there are 23 dimension-6 operators affecting the amplitude, not including flavour and hermitian conjugation. The result for the on-shell $h\to Zγ$ amplitude is gauge invariant, renormalisation-scale invariant and gauge-fixing parameter independent. The calculated ratio of the SMEFT versus the SM expectation for the $h\to Zγ$ decay width is then written in a semi-numerical form which is useful for further comparisons with related processes. For example, the $h\to Zγ$ amplitude contains 16 operators in common with the $h\to γγ$ amplitude and one can draw useful results about its feasibility at current and future LHC data.

Classical and Quantum Implications of the Causality Structure of Two-Dimensional Spacetimes with Degenerate Metrics

description: The causality structure of two-dimensional manifolds with degenerate metrics is analysed in terms of global solutions of the massless wave equation. Certain novel features emerge. Despite the absence of a traditional Lorentzian Cauchy surface on manifolds with a Euclidean domain it is possible to uniquely determine a global solution (if it exists), satisfying well defined matching conditions at the degeneracy curve, from Cauchy data on certain spacelike curves in the Lorentzian region. In general, however, no global solution satisfying such matching conditions will be consistent with this data. Attention is drawn to a number of obstructions that arise prohibiting the construction of a bounded operator connecting asymptotic single particle states. The implications of these results for the existence of a unitary quantum field theory are discussed.

description: Flood routing is an important topic in engineering hydrology and an integral part of flood management and hydrodynamic modelling studies. Muskingum and Muskingum-Cunge methods are commonly used in flood routing studies. Here, we perform a systematic review of research on linear and non-linear Muskingum and Muskingum-Cunge flood routing methods to document how they have contributed to the development of flood science. Specifically, we document the evolution of publications involving Muskingum flood routing methods between 1938 and 2021. Research gaps progressively filled over time include the use of optimization algorithms, and tools for uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. In addition, we document various case studies that were conducted to improve flood routing performance. The chronological analysis reveals performance improvement of Muskingum and Muskingum-Cunge models in terms of cost effectiveness, user friendliness and ease of use.

description: The mechanism of collectivity coexisting with chaos in a finite system of strongly interacting fermions is investigated. The complex spectra are represented in the basis of two-particle two-hole states describing the nuclear double-charge exchange modes in $^{48}$Ca. An example of $J^π=0^-$ excitations shows that the residual interaction, which generically implies chaotic behavior, under certain specific and well identified conditions may create strong transitions, even much stronger than those corresponding to a pure mean-field picture. Such an effect results from correlations among the off-diagonal matrix elements, is connected with locally reduced density of states and a local minimum in the information entropy.

To support the finding of causal features in biomedical experiments, we hereby present FRI, an open source Python library that can be used to identify all-relevant variables in linear classification and (ordinal) regression problems. Using the recently proposed feature relevance method, FRI is able to provide the base for further general experimentation or in specific can facilitate the search for alternative biomarkers. It can be used in an interactive context, by providing model manipulation and visualization methods, or in a batch process as a filter method.

description: The mapping of numbers in space to form a "mental number line" has been consistently found in adults in many different number situations. Typically, this mapping goes in a culturally-consistent direction mediated by the direction of writing, and has also been found to generalize to other non-numerical, ordinal stimuli such as the alphabet. The primary theory regarding the origins of this spatial-mapping is a causal role of the visuo-motor process of automatically scanning and reading language. Yet, more recent findings demonstrate that this directional orientation begins to develop prior to formal reading, suggesting that other earlier experiences might also be responsible for the structuring of this attentional bias. The current study investigates if and how caregivers structure the environment for their child in a culturally-congruent direction prior to any formal reading instruction. The structure of pointing behavior was observed and scored as caregivers to one- and two-year-olds described images in a slideshow task, told stories via placement of tiles with objects on them, and created scenes for their child using magnets. These children had not yet entered preschool, but were old enough for caregivers to have begun to extensively describe the environment to them. Caregivers showed a left-to-right directional preference when leading their child's attention in the slideshow task. Caregivers displayed a trend of left-to-right tile structuring during the tile placement task, and showed no preferred structuring in the magnet scene-construction task.

description: Previous research suggests that the home environment explains up to one half of the association between poverty and low cognitive skills. Building on this research, this study provides a more nuanced analysis of the family processes through which socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with children's academic outcomes by: 1) including maternal education and family income as predictors of parenting and children's academic skills, and 2) separating the home environment into parental investments of time and materials. Data are drawn from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K; n=20,582). Structural equation modeling is used to examine the extent to which these parental investments mediate associations between markers of SES and children's reading and math achievement. Models also test for moderation of the productivity of parental investments. Results indicate that SES is associated with children's school success via a pathway in which maternal education influences the extent to which parents invest in learning materials for their children, and these learning materials in turn foster development of early literacy and numeracy skills. Parental time has an unexpected negative association with children's achievement, which is explained in supplemental models. Family income and maternal education also moderate the productivity of parental investments, such that the negative effect of time and the positive effect of materials are magnified in more advantaged households. Findings suggest that the following interventions may be worthwhile policy priorities: 1) support for low-SES mothers' pursuit of further education, and/or 2) provision of learning materials for children in disadvantaged families.

description: This paper attempt to describe some cases and causes of unanticipated side effects of managerial decisions and organizational management, known as the organizational paradox. We found that the task of balancing education and research creates a paradoxical effect. Another case is the difficulty of achieving ‘total benefits’ from all departments. Action taken to improve the quality of the ‘rich’ department will create a dis-improvement of quality in ‘poor’ department. The third case is the paradox of paper-based performance quality. A performance quality based on the paper report is ‘an administrative performance quality’; not real performance. Some causes to these cases are the difficulty of balancing between the vision achievement and the scarcity of resources, the existence of a practical point of view toward everything, the complexity of human action and its relation to the environment, human motivation, systemic causes and a tendency of disregarding the value of information

This article proposes an alternative interpretation in which the observed dipole is the result of isocurvature perturbations on scales larger than the present Hubble radius. These perturbations are produced in the simplest model of double inflation, depending on three parameters. The observed dipole and quadrupole can be explained in this model, while severely constraining its parameters.

description: Baseflow is a critical hydrological variable linked to a variety of environmental factors. The construction of a dam may modify baseflow generation and adjust its environmental dependence via the regulation of discharge. However, its effects on the relationships among air temperature, water temperature, and baseflow remain unclear. Here, we use copula functions to explore the relationships among these variables in the Yangtze River and show how they have changed in response to the Three Gorges Dam (TGD). Because of the buffering effects of the baseflow, baseflow is negatively correlated to water temperature, and the relationship between baseflow and water temperature lessens as air temperature rises. Construction of the TGD attenuates the relationship between baseflow and water temperature when air temperature is low, and this attenuation is especially prominent in winter and spring. Our findings will enhance environmental protection in the Yangtze River and improve the ecological operations of the TGD.

description: We present necessary and sufficient conditions on systems of random variables for them to possess a lacunary subsystem equivalent in distribution to the Rademacher system on the segment [0,1]. In particular, every uniformly bounded orthonormal system has this property. Furthermore, an arbitrary finite uniformly bounded orthonormal set of N functions contains a subset of "logarithmic" density equivalent in distribution to the corresponding set of Rademacher functions, with a constant independent of N. A connection between the tail distribution and the L_p-norms of polynomials with respect to systems of random variables exploited. We use also these results to study K-closed representability of some Banach couples.

description: In this work, we study the formation and chemical evolution of the Galactic bulge with particular focus on the abundance pattern ([Mg/Fe] vs. [Fe/H]), metallicity and age distribution functions. We consider detailed chemical evolution models for the Galactic bulge and inner disc, with the aim of shedding light on the connection between these components and the origin of bulge stars. In particular, we first present a model assuming a fast and intense star formation, with the majority of bulge stars forming on a timescale less than 1 Gyr. Then we analyze the possibility of two distinct stellar populations in the bulge, as suggested by Gaia-ESO and APOGEE data. These two populations, one metal poor and the other metal rich, can have had two different origins: i) the metal rich formed after a stop of roughly 250 Myr in the star formation rate of the bulge, or ii) the metal rich population is made of stars formed in the inner disc and brought into the bulge by the early secular evolution of the bar. We also examine the case of multiple star bursts in the bulge with consequent formation of multiple populations, as suggested by studies of microlensed stars. After comparing model results and observations, we suggest that the most likely scenario is that there are two main stellar populations, both made mainly by old stars (> 10 Gyr), with the metal rich and younger one formed from inner thin disc stars, in agreement with kinematical arguments. However, on the basis of dynamical simulations, we cannot completely exclude that the second population formed after a stop in the star formation during the bulge evolution, so that all the stars formed in situ.

description: The nature of the heterogeneity of terrestrial water storage in the main river basins of Ethiopia is poorly understood. In river basins, measurements of terrestrial water storage changes are exceedingly rare in all temporal dimensions. This study investigates the spatiotemporal variation of water storage in the main river basins of Ethiopia using the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) with Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS). The results revealed significant variation in liquid water equivalents from GRACE and terrestrial water storage from GLDAS for each river basin, following a seasonal pattern. I found that GRACE and GLDAS datasets can be combined effectively to evaluate the long-term water storage in large-scale basins with limited hydrological data, and the obtained result provides a reliable outcome that will be essential for the establishment of climate change adaptation pathways in the future for essential water resource management and optimization.

description: Teck Coal Limited operates five coal mines in the Elk River Valley in southeastern British Columbia. Selenium concentrations were found to be elevated in some mine-influenced waters in the area. The major sources of selenium are the large rock spoils present in the drainage area. Removal of selenium by water treatment is being researched to decrease loadings on the Elk River. The focus of the treatment program is biological reduction and volatilization methods, which are more effective for selenium removal in high flow, multiple discharge and low concentration scenarios typical at the sites. Bench-scale testing of active, passive and hybrid bioreactors is currently underway at Teck's Applied Research and Technology (ART) research centre in Trail, British Columbia. Six active bioreactors were operated using a variety of parameters for eight months, achieving up to 98% selenium removal. Mobilization experiments were also conducted in humidity cells to determine the potential for selenium to leach from sediment samples. Results indicated that selenium was being mobilized from sediment at some of the sites tested. Future testing will continue in the future using a variety of methods.

Dilaton-assisted generation of the Fermi scale from the Planck scale

description: In scale-invariant theories of gravity the Planck mass $M_P$, which appears due to spontaneous symmetry breaking, can be the only scale at the classical level. It was argued that the second scale can be generated by a quantum non-perturbative gravitational effect. The new scale, associated with the Higgs vacuum expectation value, can be orders of magnitude below $M_P$, leading to the hierarchy between the Fermi and the Planck scales. We study a theory in which the non-perturbative effect is sensitive both to the physics at energy scales as high as $M_P$ and to the low-energy, Standard Model physics. This makes it possible to constrain the mechanism from experiment. We find that the crucial ingredients of the mechanism are non-minimal coupling of the scalar fields to gravity, the approximate Weyl invariance at high energies, and the metastability of the low-energy vacuum.

Deflationary Models Driven by Matter Creation

description: A nonsingular deflationary cosmology driven by adiabatic matter creation is proposed. In this scenario there is no preinflationary stage as happens in conventional inflationary models. Deflation starts from a de Sitter spacetime characterized by an arbitrary time scale $H_{I}^{-1}$, which also pins down an initial value for the temperature of the universe. The model evolves continuously towards a slightly modified Friedman-Robertson-Walker universe. The horizon and other well known problems of the standard model are then solved but, unlike in microscopic models of inflation, there is no supercooling and subsequent reheating. Entropy generation is concomitant with deflation and if $H_{I}^{-1}$ is of the order of the Planck time, the present day value of the radiation temperature is deduced. It is also shown that the ``age problem'' does not exist here. In particular, the theoretically favored FRW flat model is old enough to agree with the observations even given the high values of $H_{o}$ suggested by recent measurements.

description: The problem of explaining the behavior of deep neural networks has recently gained a lot of attention. While several attribution methods have been proposed, most come without strong theoretical foundations, which raises questions about their reliability. On the other hand, the literature on cooperative game theory suggests Shapley values as a unique way of assigning relevance scores such that certain desirable properties are satisfied. Unfortunately, the exact evaluation of Shapley values is prohibitively expensive, exponential in the number of input features. In this work, by leveraging recent results on uncertainty propagation, we propose a novel, polynomial-time approximation of Shapley values in deep neural networks. We show that our method produces significantly better approximations of Shapley values than existing state-of-the-art attribution methods.

description: We study the dynamical spin susceptibility $χ({\bf q},ω)$ for spin-triplet superconductivity. We show that a large peak at $ω= 2 Δ$ appears in $\textrm{Im} χ_{zz}({\mathbf{Q}}, ω)$, where $z$ is the direction of the $\mathbf{d}$ vector for triplet pairing, if Fermi surface has a nested part with the nesting vector $\mathbf{Q}$ and the order parameter is $+Δ$ and $-Δ$ in this part of the Fermi surface. If there are line nodes in the nested part of the Fermi surface, a peak appears in either $\textrm{Im} χ_{zz}(\mathbf{Q}, ω)$ or $\textrm{Im} χ_{+-}(\mathbf{Q}, ω)$, or both, depending on the perpendicular component of the nesting vector. The comparison with inelastic neutron scattering experiments can determine the position of the line nodes in triplet superconductor Sr$_2$RuO$_4$.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Selenium (Se) concentrations in the Elk Valley have become elevated due to the weathering and mobilization of Se from seleniferous bearing rock, which is intensified as a result of mining practices. The Elk Valley Selenium Task Force (EVSTF) was established in 1998, to investigate the potential environmental effects of Se in the Elk River watershed. The EVSTF is a joint industry-government steering committee consisting of representatives from: the B.C. Ministry of Environment (MoE), the B.C. Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources (MEMPR), Environment Canada, representatives from each of the five Teck Coal (formerly, the Elk Valley Coal Corporation (EVCC)) coal mines (specifically: Fording River, Greenhills, Coal Mountain, Line Creek, and Elkview Operations), representatives of the corporate Environment, Health and Safety departments of Teck Coal and Teck Resources, and a Secretariat. In the past few years, the EVSTF has expanded its focus and direction beyond biological effects studies, to include a better understanding of the fate, speciation, and bioavailability of Se, and Se management and control opportunities; biological effects and biomonitoring studies continue in order to establish practical, site-specific criteria. Work plans for 2009 and beyond will focus on: biomonitoring trend studies, Se geochemical behaviour and modeling, Se treatment research and development, and the development of site-specific thresholds and management triggers for Se.
