description: We present a study on four new star clusters discovered in the halo of the intriguing dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 from a wide field survey covering 3 deg x 3 deg area carried out with MegaCam at Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). The star clusters have extended structures with half-light radii R_h ~ 7.5 -- 14.0 pc, larger than typical Galactic globular clusters and other known globular clusters in NGC 6822. The integrated colors and color magnitude diagrams (CMD) of resolved stars suggest that the new star clusters are 2 -- 10 Gyr old and relatively metal poor with Z=0.0001--0.004 based on the comparison with theoretical models. The projected distance of each star cluster from the galaxy center ranges from 10.7 arcmin (~ 1.5 kpc) to 77 arcmin (~ 11 kpc), far beyond the optical body of the galaxy. Interestingly, the new star clusters are aligned along the elongated old stellar halo of NGC 6822, which is almost perpendicular to the HI gas distribution where young stellar populations exist. We also find that the colors and half-light radii of the new clusters are correlated with the galactocentric distance: clusters farther from the galaxy center are larger and bluer than those closer to the galaxy center. We discuss the stellar structure and evolution of NGC 6822 implied by these new extended star clusters in the halo. We also discuss the current status of observational and theoretical understandings regarding the origin of extended star clusters in NGC 6822 and other galaxies.

MetaPathways : a modular pipeline for the analysis of environmental sequence information
Creators: name: Hanson, Niels William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The lack of cultivated reference strains for the majority of naturally occurring microorganisms has lead to the development of plurality sequencing methods and the field of metagenomics, offering a glimpse into the genomes of this so-called 'microbial dark matter' (MDM). An explosion of sequencing initiatives has followed, attempting to capture and extract biological meaning from MDM across a wide range of ecosystems from deep-sea vents and polar seas to waste-water bioreactors and human beings. Current analytic approaches focus on taxonomic structure and metabolic potential through a combination of phylogenetic anchor screening of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU or 16S rRNA) and general sequence searches using homology-based inference. Though much has been learned about microbial diversity and metabolic potential within natural and engineered ecosystems using these approaches, they are insufficient to resolve the ecological relationships that couple nutrient and energy flow between community members - ultimately translating into ecosystem functions and services. This shortcoming arises from a combination of data-intensive challenges presented by environmental sequence information that span processing, integration, and interpretation steps, and a general lack of robust statistical and analytical methods to directly address these problems. This dissertation addresses some of these shortcomings through the development of a modular analytical pipeline, MetaPathways, allowing for the large-scale and systematic processing and integration of many forms of environmental sequence information. MetaPathways is built to scale, comparing hundreds of metagenomic samples through the efficient use of data structures, grid compute models, and interactive data query. Moreover, it attempts to bring functional analysis back to the metabolic map through the creation of environmental pathway/genome databases (ePGDBs), adopting the Pathway Tools software for metabolic pathway prediction on the MetaCyc encyclopedia of genes and genomes. ePGDBs and the pathway-centric approach are validated to provide known and novel insights into community structure and function. Finally, novel taxonomic and metabolic methods supporting the pathway-centric model are derived and demonstrated, and enhance Pathway Tools as a framework for engineering microbial communities and consortia.

description: This paper reports on the research-driven design process of an innovative thermal mass concept: Convective Concrete. The goal is to improve building energy efficiency and comfort levels by addressing some of the shortcomings of conventional building slabs with high thermal storage capacity. Such heavyweight constructions tend to have a slow response time and do not make effective use of the available thermal mass. Convective Concrete explores new ways of making more intelligent use of thermal mass in buildings. To accomplish this on-demand charging of thermal mass, a network of ducts and fans is embedded in the concrete wall element. This is done by developing customized formwork elements in combination with advanced concrete mixtures. To achieve an efficient airflow rate, the embedded lost formwork and the concrete itself function like a lung. The convection takes place with separate pipes on both sides of the concrete’s core to increase the charge/discharge of the thermal storage process. The first stage of the research, described in this paper, is to simulate the Convective Concrete at the component level, whereupon a mock-up is tested in a climate test set-up. The paper concludes with describing planned activities for turning this concept into a real building product.

description: We show that entirely quantum Shannon theoretic methods, based on von Neumann entropies and their properties, can be used to derive Singleton bounds on the performance of entanglement-assisted hybrid classical-quantum (EACQ) error correcting codes. Concretely, we show that the triple-rate region of qubits, cbits and ebits of possible EACQ codes over arbitrary alphabet sizes is contained in the quantum Shannon theoretic rate region of an associated memoryless erasure channel, which turns out to be a polytope. We show that a large part of this region is attainable by certain EACQ codes, whenever the local alphabet size (i.e. Hilbert space dimension) is large enough, in keeping with known facts about classical and quantum minimum distance separable (MDS) codes: in particular, all of its extreme points and all but one of its extremal lines. The attainability of the remaining one extremal line segment is left as an open question.

title: The Politics of Euro-Balkan Police Cooperation in the 2000s
Creators: name: Kantokoski, Olga
Publisher: name: Universität Graz
Year: 2021

description: This article examines the political dynamics of Euro-Balkan police
cooperation in the context of recent Balkan history. In the existing
scholarship, the process of the ‘externalisation’ of EU-wide law enforcement
cooperation outside the Union's geographic frontiers is widely considered to
be a ‘functional-instrumental’ response to the menace of organised crime.
Scholars believe that the functional rationale has been a primary driver
behind the Union's endeavours to extend its governance of internal security
to the EU's core strategic neighbourhood of the Western Balkans. Perceived
in EU political discourse as a ‘stronghold’ of organised crime, in the 2000s
this region acted as a major site for the Union's counter-crime initiatives.
However, more detailed examination of the EU’s internal security
collaboration in the Western Balkan region against the contrasting
dynamics of organised crime reveals that Euro-Balkan cooperative
initiatives were not functionally-, but rather politically-driven par
excellence. In this article, the crucial period of 1999/2000-2010, when
collaboration on internal security issues with the Western Balkan partners
assumed major significance for the EU, is examined as an example of how
political factors have been major triggers of the Union's anti-crime police
cooperation with its Balkan neighbourhood.

description: We present Planar Rosa, a family of rhombus tilings with a $2n$-fold rotational symmetry that are generated by a primitive substitution and that are also discrete plane tilings, meaning that they are obtained as a projection of a higher dimensional discrete plane. The discrete plane condition is a relaxed version of the cut-and-project condition. We also prove that the Sub Rosa substitution tilings with $2n$-fold rotational symmetry defined by Kari and Rissanen do not satisfy even the weaker discrete plane condition. We prove these results for all even $n\geq 4$. This completes our previously published results for odd values of $n$.

description: The advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies constituted a major advance in genomic studies, offering new prospects in a wide range of applications. We propose a rigorous and flexible algorithmic solution to mapping SOLiD color-space reads to a reference genome. The solution relies on an advanced method of seed design that uses a faithful probabilistic model of read matches and, on the other hand, a novel seeding principle especially adapted to read mapping. Our method can handle both lossy and lossless frameworks and is able to distinguish, at the level of seed design, between SNPs and reading errors. We illustrate our approach by several seed designs and demonstrate their efficiency.

Solar PV Building Skins: Structural Requirements and Environmental Benefits
Creators: name: Hemmerle, Claudia
Publisher: name: Journal of Facade Design and Engineering
Year: 2017

description: The majority of the photovoltaic (PV) modules used in building skins contains glass, but does not entirely comply with the product standards and design rules for glass in building. As a result, structural applications are subject to individual approval by the building authorities in many cases. This paper presents experimental research on glass based photovoltaic modules, analysing their mechanical properties in comparison with approved construction products. The focus is on glass-glass modules and on the question whether the most common module configurations can be classified as laminated safety glass. Testing included residual resistance testing to study the potential to provide residual load-bearing capacity and shear testing to examine the interaction of photovoltaic cells and interlayer material as well as adhesion characteristics. If approved interlayers are used, glass-glass modules correspond to the safety level of laminated safety glass, because the PV integration does not impair breakage behaviour and improves residual resistance, while the observed reduced adhesive bond does not imply a higher injury risk. Formal classification of photovoltaic products within the product and design standards for glass in building could facilitate the use of building-integrated photovoltaics. Life-cycle assessments of photovoltaic systems so far concentrated on roof-top and ground-mounted installations. Based on these studies, the specific environmental performance of building-integrated systems was analysed. Constructive integration of the PV modules associated with the substitution of conventional materials in the building skin reduce the life-cycle environmental impacts like primary energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions, especially in those areas with suboptimal solar irradiation like façades. The net energy payback times calculated for Central European range from 0.8 and 5.6 years and the net carbon footprint varies between 12 and 192 g CO2-eq/kWh.

description: The purpose of this paper is to explore the use of deep learning for the solution of the nonlinear filtering problem. This is achieved by solving the Zakai equation by a deep splitting method, previously developed for approximate solution of (stochastic) partial differential equations. This is combined with an energy-based model for the approximation of functions by a deep neural network. This results in a computationally fast filter that takes observations as input and that does not require re-training when new observations are received. The method is tested on four examples, two linear in one and twenty dimensions and two nonlinear in one dimension. The method shows promising performance when benchmarked against the Kalman filter and the bootstrap particle filter.

description: We present deep J-, H-, and Ks-band imaging data of the MOIRCS Deep Survey (MODS), which was carried out with Multi-Object Infrared Camera and Spectrograph (MOIRCS) mounted on the Subaru telescope in the GOODS-North region. The data reach 5sigma total limiting magnitudes for point sources of J=23.9, H=22.8, and Ks=22.8 (Vega magnitude) over 103 arcmin^2 (wide field). In 28 arcmin^2 of the survey area, which is ultra deep field of the MODS (deep field), the data reach the 5sigma depths of J=24.8, H=23.4, and Ks=23.8. The spatial resolutions of the combined images are FWHM ~ 0.6 arcsec and ~ 0.5 arcsec for the wide and deep fields in all bands, respectively. Combining the MODS data with the multi-wavelength public data taken with the HST, Spitzer, and other ground-based telescopes in the GOODS field, we construct a multi-wavelength photometric catalog of Ks-selected sources. Using the catalog, we present Ks-band number counts and near-infrared color distribution of the detected objects, and demonstrate some selection techniques with the NIR colors for high redshift galaxies. These data and catalog are publicly available via internet.

We also show that though the natural extension of a rational function with a Cremer fixed point has a continuum of irregular points, it can not supply enough singularity to apply the Gross star theorem to find hyperbolic leaves.

A framework for designing serious games
Creators: name: Sinkewicz, Nicholas David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Integrating traditional learning content with the feeling of enjoyment that has made commercial video games wildly popular presents a significant design challenge. Serious video games, or games for learning, are most often studied from the viewpoint of disciplines such as psychology or education. There is a lack of applied research to guide serious game design, particularly the development process. Such frameworks are nonexistent or in their infancy. This thesis extends game design theory and creates an applied design framework for serious game development. It focuses on gameplay - the connection between the interactive engagements happening on-screen and the methods by which those events are manifest. Two game design constructs are conceptualized, linked, and illustrated: player archetypes and gameplay themes. The design framework is an applied tool to help serious game designers make video games that are both fun and educational, and that maximize audience appeal. The framework has broad design utility and is suited for use across a spectrum of serious game genres and content areas. The framework is illustrated with examples based on a University of British Columbia serious game project that is the focus of a community-based participatory research project with the municipality of Delta, British Columbia. The game, Future Delta 2, represents a new way to engage hard-to-reach community groups like youth in building awareness and action around the local causes and impacts of climate change.

description: We formulate the problem of approach to equilibrium in algebraic quantum statistical mechanics and study some of its structural aspects, focusing on the relation between the zeroth law of thermodynamics (approach to equilibrium) and the second law (increase of entropy). Our main result is that approach to equilibrium is necessarily accompanied by a strict increase of the specific (mean) energy and entropy. In the course of our analysis, we introduce the concept of quantum weak Gibbs state which is of independent interest.
Architecture Fully Fashioned - Exploration of foamed spacer fabrics for textile based building skins
Creators: name: Lüling, Prof. Dipl.-Ing Claudia
name: Richter, Dipl.-Ing. Iva
Publisher: name: Journal of Facade Design and Engineering
Year: 2017

description: “Architecture Fully Fashioned” is about lightweight design and new textile based building skins. Fully fashioned refers to a textile production technology wherein all parts of a piece of cloth are produced in one integrated production process, ready to wear the moment they leave the machine. Fully fashioned powerskin in an architectural sense implies a light, highly prefabricated textile envelope with minimum needs of installation work on the building site. To develop these new textile powerskins, experimental student works and applied research projects at Frankfurt University of Applied Science investigate the potential of the combination of textile technologies with foaming technologies. This paper focuses on so called spacer fabrics and a research project called 3dTEX and founded by Zukunf Bau, where wall elements from foamed spacer fabrics presently are under development. The aim of the paper is to present 3dTEX within the context of the accompanying experimental student design works and to show the so far achieved results for a prefabricated, lightweight, self supporting and highly insulated foamed textile skin, with reduced needs of installation work on the building site. This has been achieved by using the spacer fabric as lost formwork and using 3d-textile technologies, so as woven or warp-knitted spacer fabrics, in order to receive complex geometrical sandwich-like textiles. Together with the foam they become FabricFoam©. The new selfsupporting building elements not only offer possibilities for complex architectonical geometries including loadbearing structures, but also a wide range of surface designs in terms of structures, colours and additional functionalities. The focus of 3dTEX is on the development of appropriate textile geometries for one- ore two-layer textile elements, depending on the choosen textile technologies. Foamed, they become lightweight, insulated elements, where the two layer textile can even be transformed into a ready-made, rear-ventilated, insulated wall element made from gradient fibre and foam material, able to absorb tensile and compressive forces at the same time. The challenge for 3dTEX is to close the knowledge gap about what kind of textile technology can produce the envisioned textile geometry with which kind of fibre material. Further, 3dTEX research is about the appropriate, possibly in-situ, foaming technology and foam material, so that fibre and foam materials match as an aesthetic architectural element and in terms of mechanical and building physics as well as in terms of grey energy and recycling aspects.

Updated urban facade design for quieter outdoor spaces

description: The increasing migration into cities leads to an increasing number of people stressed by noise. More and more people are moving into urban settings comprised of multiple noise sources and hard reflective glass and steel facades. The omnidirectional arrangement of noise sources like airborne noise or car traffic noise and their reflection on the facades neither composes urban arrangements with silent indoor areas nor comfortable quiet areas outdoor. To come up with requirements for silent areas inside and outside of buildings further design parameters have to be introduced. The facade is not only a shelter for the inside it can also provide comfort spaces outside the building. As engineers and architects we cannot change the noise source, but we can influence the impact on the surrounding urban space by controlling the reflection of noise emissions on the urban surfaces like facades. In a facade design the capability of reflecting noise can be tuned by modifying the surface. In order to come up with the acoustical needs no radical new way of facade design has to be introduced. Mainly a shift of attention to the acoustic parameters is needed. Based on acoustic measurements of basic geometry principles this research presents known facade designs and their acoustic parameters regarding the reflection capabilities and the functions in a facade.

Primordial Magnetic Field Limits from Cosmic Microwave Background Bispectrum of Magnetic Passive Scalar Modes

description: Primordial magnetic fields lead to non-Gaussian signals in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) even at the lowest order, as magnetic stresses and the temperature anisotropy they induce depend quadratically on the magnetic field. In contrast, CMB non-Gaussianity due to inflationary scalar perturbations arises only as a higher order effect. Apart from a compensated scalar mode, stochastic primordial magnetic fields also produce scalar anisotropic stress that remains uncompensated till neutrino decoupling. This gives rise to an adiabatic-like scalar perturbation mode that evolves passively thereafter (called the passive mode). We compute the CMB reduced bispectrum ($b_{l_{_1}l_{_2}l_{_3}}$) induced by this passive mode, sourced via the Sachs-Wolfe effect, on large angular scales. For any configuration of bispectrum, taking a partial sum over mode-coupling terms, we find a typical value of $l_1(l_1+1)l_3(l_3+1) b_{l_{_1}l_{_2}l_{_3}} \sim 6-9 \times 10^{-16}$, for a magnetic field of $B_0 \sim 3$ nG, assuming a nearly scale-invariant magnetic spectrum . We also evaluate, in full, the bispectrum for the squeezed collinear configuration over all angular mode-coupling terms and find $l_1(l_1+1)l_3(l_3+1) b_{l_{_1}l_{_2}l_{_3}} \approx -1.4 \times 10^{-16}$. These values are more than $\sim 10^6$ times larger than the previously calculated magnetic compensated scalar mode CMB bispectrum. Observational limits on the bispectrum from WMAP7 data allow us to set upper limits of $B_0 \sim 2$ nG on the present value of the cosmic magnetic field of primordial origin. This is over 10 times more stringent than earlier limits on $B_0$ based on the compensated mode bispectrum.

description: We study the slowly varying, non-autonomous quantum dynamics of a translation invariant spin or fermion system on the lattice $\mathbb Z^d$. This system is assumed to be initially in thermal equilibrium, and we consider realizations of quasi-static processes in the adiabatic limit. By combining the Gibbs variational principle with the notion of quantum weak Gibbs states introduced in [Jakšić, Pillet, Tauber, arXiv:2204.00440], we establish a number of general structural results regarding such realizations. In particular, we show that such a quasi-static process is incompatible with the property of approach to equilibrium studied in this previous work.

description: We measure the thermal conductivity ($κ$) of individual InAs nanowires (NWs), and find that it is 3 orders of magnitude smaller than the bulk value in the temperature range of 10 to 50 K. We argue that the low $κ$ arises from the strong localization of phonons in the random superlattice of twin-defects oriented perpendicular to the axis of the NW. We observe significant electronic contribution arising from the surface accumulation layer which gives rise to tunability of $κ$ with the application of electrostatic gate and magnetic field. Our devices and measurements of $κ$ at different carrier concentrations and magnetic field without introducing structural defects, offer a means to study new aspects of nanoscale thermal transport.

description: Solar energy has been actively promoted as a clean energy source since 1973’s oil crisis, evidenced by the emergence of initiatives such as the Solar Heating & Cooling Programme of the International Energy Agency or the US Department of Energy. Nonetheless, solar technologies have not been widely used in the built environment, limiting their operation to industrial and macroscale applications. Commercially available products such as building integrated PV panels (BIPV) or building integrated solar thermal collectors (BIST); and novel prototypes and concepts for solar cooling integrated facades are seen as interesting alternatives for the development of new performance based façade components for high-performing commercial buildings. However, there are barriers to overcome in order to promote widespread application of architecturally integrated solar components. The present paper seeks to discuss perceived barriers for widespread façade integration of solar technologies, in order to define the current scenario and generate guidelines for future developments. In order to achieve this, the paper presents the results of a survey addressed to professionals with practical experience in the development of façade systems for office buildings, situated at any stage of the design and construction process. Hence, architects, façade consultants, system suppliers and façade builders were considered. The outcome of this study is the definition of the main perceived barriers for façade integration of solar technologies, discussing the results from the survey along with other related experiences found in the literature. This study is part of the ongoing PhD research project titled COOLFACADE: Architectural integration of solar cooling strategies into the curtain-wall, developed within the Façade Research Group (FRG) in the Green Building Innovation programme (GBI) of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, TU Delft.

description: Energy levels of the double $Λ$ hypernucleus, $^{11}_{ΛΛ}$Be are calculated within the framework of an $ααn ΛΛ$ five-body model. Interactions between constituent particles are determined so as to reproduce reasonably the observed low-energy properties of the $αα$, $ααn$ nuclei and the existing data for $Λ$-binding energies of the $αΛ$, $ααΛ$, $αn Λ$ and $ααn Λ$ systems. An effective $ΛΛ$ interaction is constructed so as to reproduce, within the $αΛΛ$ three-body model, the $B_{ΛΛ}$ of $^6_{ΛΛ}$He, which was extracted from the emulsion experiment, the NAGARA event. With no adjustable parameters for the $ααn ΛΛ$ system, $B_{ΛΛ}$ of the ground and bound excited states of $^{11}_{ΛΛ}$Be are calculated with the Gaussian Expansion Method. The Hida event, recently observed at KEK-E373 experiment, is interpreted as an observation of the ground state of the $^{11}_{ΛΛ}$Be.

description: We provide a constructive proof on the equivalence of two fundamental concepts: the global Lyapunov function in engineering and the potential function in physics, establishing a bridge between these distinct fields. This result suggests new approaches on the significant unsolved problem namely to construct Lyapunov functions for general nonlinear systems through the analogy with existing methods on potential functions. In addition, we show another connection that the Lyapunov equation is a reduced form of the generalized Einstein relation for linear systems.

description: We demonstrate the ability to receive live color analog television and video game signals with the use of the Rydberg atom receiver. The typical signal expected for traditional 480i NSTC format video signals requires a bandwidth of over 3 MHz. We determine the beam sizes, powers, and detection method required for the Rydberg atoms to receive this type of signal. The beam size affects the average time the atoms remain in the interaction volume, which is inversely proportional to the bandwidth of the receiver. We find that small beam diameters (less than 100 μm) lead to much faster responses and allow for color reception. We demonstrate the effect of beam size on bandwidth by receiving a live 480i video stream with the Rydberg atom receiver. The best fidelity was achieved with a beam width of 85 μm full-width at half-max.

A positive shift : Chinese post-secondary students who identify as thriving discuss their cross-cultural transition experiences in Canada
Creators: name: Huang, Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Throughout the literature, international students are portrayed as a vulnerable population because there is a tendency towards focusing solely on the challenges they encounter while studying abroad. As a result international students appear to be perceived as being prone to develop psychological distress. Inter-cultural variations also appear less pronounced because international students are often studied as a whole group, and results from various studies combine several culture-of-origins. Consequently, few studies have focused solely on understanding the overall transition experience of a selected population of international students with attention awarded to areas beyond challenges, such as the positive experiences, their desires, and unique characteristics. This study, therefore, sought to determine the different facets of the cross-cultural experiences for a specific group of students: Chinese international students from China. Both the positive and negative qualities of the transition were assessed. Furthermore, in order to portray the capacity for international students to prosper while studying abroad, only students who expressed they were “doing well” regarding the cross-cultural changes were selected. The methodology employed was the Enhanced Critical Incident Technique (ECIT), and this method identified 135 helping incidents, 102 hindering incidents, and 36 wish-list items. The helping incidents were grouped into 9 facilitating categories, the challenging incidents were grouped into 7 hindering categories, alongside 1 sub-category, and the 36 wish-list items were grouped into 3 categories (with 1 sub-category). It became evident in this study that by addressing a unique international student population, there appeared to be greater awareness towards the distinct experiences of this population, as well as the opportunity to contribute to the growing literature on international students. More importantly, the study provided a holistic perspective of international students by attending to both facilitating and hindering events. Supported by the deliberate selection of students who report that they are adapting well, the findings seemed to further corroborate a growing trend in the literature that views international students as capable of thriving and excelling, regardless of the difficulties or challenges they may encounter during their cross-cultural transition.

description: The last decades have been marked by a growing concern over scarcity of resources caused by the rapid industrialization of emerging economies as well as by the high material consumption at a global scale. These changing environmental conditions have inevitably created new challenges and demands for mediation of the interaction between the natural and the human-made environments. In response to these challenges, designers are currently moving away from conventional top-down design, towards a nature-inspired approach in search of the underlying principles of morphogenesis and materialization inherent to biological entities. Inscribed in this approach, this paper proposes an innovative design-to-fabrication workflow for the conception of nature-inspired load-responsive skin systems which integrates the use of computational tools, Additive Manufacturing, and material experiments with full-scale prototypes. The design phase employs custom algorithms to determine an optimal material distribution for free-form architectural shapes, given a specific loading condition. Through fabrication tests at different scales, the viability of a production system based on Fused Deposition Modelling is demonstrated. Subsequently, the realization of a final prototype of a load-responsive cellular envelope cladded with Fiber-Glass Reinforced Plastic is presented. Opportunities and current limitations of the approach and the emerging architectural system are critically discussed towards future developments.
