description: Recently, great interest in the production of medicines is observed for natural substances that have a wide range of pharmacological action and are characterized by a high safety index. Such natural substances include bee products, one of which is drone homogenate, which is characterized by various types of pharmacological activity. The chemical composition of drone homogenate consists of about two hundred substances, in particular, representatives of amino acids, mono-, diand hydroxyl-carboxylic acids, vitamins C, E, A and group B; polyatomic alcohols, monoand disaccharides, and other substances that require additional identification. Drone brood helps to improve the antimicrobial, antioxidant, immune, androgenic, physical, and intellectual activity of the body, which is why it is a promising active pharmaceutical ingredient in pharmaceutical technology.

Addressing Supply Noise in Digital Domains  through Adaptive Clocking: Past, Present, and Future Slides
Creators: Visvesh Sathe

Webinar Slides
Abstract:   Energy efficiency remains a key concern in modern SoCs. Despite tremendous advances in packaging and power delivery, the margins required to withstand supply voltage noise still play a dominant role in dictating SoC energy efficiency. Starting from early efforts that injected charge into the supply, the field has evolved toward instruction throttling and adaptive clocking which are now widely used. Even so, there remains significant room for further margin reduction.In this talk, we briefly introduce the problem of supply noise and examine several adaptive clocking techniques that have been adopted over the years to address this challenge. We examine their existing limitations to motivate the design of several recent adaptive clocking innovations that unify voltage regulation and clock generation into a single entity. We will more closely examine  the Unified Clock and Power (UniCaP) architecture as an example of such an approach. The effectiveness of this technology and its enabling capabilities will be discussed through multiple test-chip demonstrations and measurements, including a performance-regulated 65nm Cortex M0 processor which achieves 98% voltage margin Finally, we discuss some  limitations of UniCaP that inform both its existing usability and future directions.

Anomalous scaling and first-order dynamical phase transition in large deviations of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process

description: We study the full distribution of $A=\int_{0}^{T}x^{n}\left(t\right)dt$, $n=1,2,\dots$, where $x\left(t\right)$ is an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We find that for $n>2$ the long-time ($T \to \infty$) scaling form of the distribution is of the anomalous form $P\left(A;T\right)\sim e^{-T^μf_{n}\left(ΔA/T^ν\right)}$ where $ΔA$ is the difference between $A$ and its mean value, and the anomalous exponents are $μ=2/\left(2n-2\right)$, and $ν=n/\left(2n-2\right)$. The rate function $f_n\left(y\right)$, that we calculate exactly, exhibits a first-order dynamical phase transition which separates between a homogeneous phase that describes the Gaussian distribution of typical fluctuations, and a "condensed" phase that describes the tails of the distribution. We also calculate the most likely realizations of $\mathcal{A}(t)=\int_{0}^{t}x^{n}\left(s\right)ds$ and the distribution of $x(t)$ at an intermediate time $t$ conditioned on a given value of $A$. Extensions and implications to other continuous-time systems are discussed.

Creators: Jun Liang
Publisher: name: IEEE
Year: 2021

This presentation covers recent needs and development of DC technologies for the integration of large scale offshore wind power.
Modelling and control of voltage source converters for HVDC are described for connecting offshore wind farms and for operation of multiple converters in multi-terminal DC grids. A method is presented to compare the reliability and economics of various types of converters with different power ratings, topologies, drives, cooling and submodule redundancy. Recommendations are made for optimal converter design for reliable DC grid operation. This presentation also compares various topologies of collection systems within offshore farms including AC and parallel/series DC collectors. Power losses, energy curtailment, power capacity, control capability of wind farms are analyzed considering different wind turbine ratings, cable distance and connection to HVDC or MVDC networks. A method is presented to compare reliability and economics of MVDC converters in order to achieve most suitable configurations at MV level for grid integration of offshore wind power.

description: The work simulates the operation of a plasma generator, which creates elastic waves in a pipe filled with a two-phase fluid. Modeling is based on wave models of non-stationary gas dynamics. The nonlinear nature of the properties of such systems was taken into account in the simulation. A model of the expansion of a plasma formation in a waveguide is proposed, which made it possible to study the process of excitation of elastic pressure pulses. The time dependences of the rate of expansion of the cavity, sound pressure, and energy of acoustic radiation were obtained and analyzed at various values of the gas content and static pressure of the fluid.
Directors’ duty of care, diligence and skill : a comparative study of Japanese and Canadian law
Creators: name: Toriumi, Tetsuro
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Most of the powers of the modern corporation are vested not in the general meeting, but in the Board of Directors. It is therefore important to see whether these powers are properly controlled. Both Canadian and Japanese company law adopt a similar view on the allocation of the administration and control between directors and shareholders. In addition, directors have two kinds of duties: duties of care, skill and diligence; and fiduciary duties. However, there are important contrasts between the development of directors' duties in Canada and in Japan. In Canada, the common law has not been nearly as effective in developing a managerial duty and skill as it has been in the elaboration and enlargement of fiduciary duties. There are few cases where directors have been found liable for breach of a duty of care, diligence and skill. Conversely, there are numerous instances in Japanese law where directors have been found liable. This paper compares and contrasts Japanese and Canadian law regarding directors' liability for mismanagement and negligence in the performance of their duties. It is suggested that there are two principal reasons for the differences between Canadian and Japanese principles: one is whether or not directors owe a duty to third parties rather than simply to the company; the other is the strictness of the standards of care, diligence and skill which are owed by directors. By comparing Canadian and Japanese law, it is intended not only to point out differences but also to suggest possible ways which encourage directors to increase their care, diligence and skill in performing their duties.

description: We study the influence of dissipation on the switching current statistics of moderately damped Josephson junctions. Different types of both low- and high- $T_c$ junctions with controlled damping are studied. The damping parameter of the junctions is tuned in a wide range by changing temperature, magnetic field, gate voltage, introducing a ferromagnetic layer or in-situ capacitive shunting. A paradoxical collapse of switching current fluctuations occurs with increasing $T$ in all studied junctions. The phenomenon critically depends on dissipation in the junction and is explained by interplay of two counteracting consequences of thermal fluctuations, which on the one hand assist in premature switching into the resistive state and on the other hand help in retrapping back to the superconducting state. This is one of the rare examples of anticorrelation between temperature and fluctuation amplitude of a physically measurable quantity.

We characterize the percolation transition, predict cluster size distributions and suggest vaccination strategies. All predictions are compared to numerical simulations on real networks. The percolation threshold which we predict is a rigorous lower bound to the threshold on real networks. For large, locally tree-like networks, our predictions agree very well with the numerical data.

description: We give a global bilateral estimate on the maximal solution $\bar u_F$ of $ \prt_tu-Δu+u^q=0$ in $\BBR^N\times (0,\infty)$, $q>1$, $N\geq 1$, which vanishes at $t=0 $ on the complement of a closed subset $F\subset \BBR^N$. This estimate is expressed by a Wiener test involving the Bessel capacity $C_{2/q,q'}$. We deduce from this estimate that $\bar {u}_F$ is $σ$-moderate in Dynkin's sense.

description: We study the nonlinear conductance through a quantum dot, specifically its dependence on the asymmetries in the tunnel couplings and bias voltages $V$, at low energies. Extending the microscopic Fermi-liquid theory for the Anderson impurity model, we obtain an exact formula for the steady current $I$ up to terms of order $V^3$ in the presence of these asymmetries. The coefficients for the nonlinear terms are described in terms of a set of the Fermi-liquid parameters: the phase shift, static susceptibilities, and three-body correlation functions of electrons in the quantum dots, defined with respect to the equilibrium ground state. We calculate these correlation functions, using the numerical renormalization group approach (NRG), over a wide range of impurity-electron filling that can be controlled by a gate voltage in real systems. The NRG results show that the order $V^2$ nonlinear current is enhanced significantly in the valence fluctuation regime. It is caused by the order $V$ energy shift of the impurity level, induced in the presence of the tunneling or bias asymmetry. Furthermore, in the valence fluctuation regime, we also find that the order $V^3$ nonlinear current exhibits a shoulder structure, for which the three-body correlations that evolve for large asymmetries play an essential role.

description: Next generation probes of dark matter and dark energy require high precision reconstruction of faint galaxy shapes from hundreds of dithered exposures. Current practice is to stack the images. While valuable for many applications, this stack is a highly compressed version of the data. Future weak lensing studies will require analysis of the full dataset using the stack and its associated catalog only as a starting point. We describe a "Multi-Fit" algorithm which simultaneously fits individual galaxy exposures to a common profile model convolved with each exposure's point spread function at that position in the image. This technique leads to an enhancement of the number of usable small galaxies at high redshift and, more significantly, a decrease in systematic shear error.

Gifts to unincorporated associations
Creators: name: Dennis, Sally
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: An unincorporated association is a strange phenomenon. As a matter of fact, it undoubtedly exists and engages in as wide a range of transactions as any legal person. As a matter of law, however, it has no existence separate and apart from that of its constituent members. It is consequently incapable of either bearing liabilities or enjoying rights. In particular, it cannot be a donee or legatee in its own right, nor can it be a beneficiary under a trust. Yet gifts, both by way of inter vivos disposition and legacy, and both, directly and on trust, are continually made in favour of unincorporated associations. If the purposes pursued by an unincorporated association are charitable a gift made to it will be valid. If its purposes are not charitable, however, the fate of the gift is uncertain. This thesis examines the current law on non-charitable gifts made to an unincorporated association, concludes that it is in an unsatisfactory state and suggests a legal analysis by reference to which such, gifts can be held to be valid. The courts of the common law jurisdictions of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have developed no less- than nine different possible ways of analysing a gift for the purposes of an unincorporated association. None is satisfactory. The gift may be held to be totally ineffective or, if effective, there is no assurance, that the purposes of the association will in fact be carried out. A gift for the purposes of an unincorporated association operates satisfactorily only if it ensures that the donated property is used for those purposes and not for the personal purposes of the members of the association. Prima facie a trust on those terms would achieve this result. However, this is not the case because of a major deficiency in the law of trusts. The current law espouses the so-called 'beneficiary principle' under which no non-charitable trust is valid unless it has human beneficiaries. The result is that it is impossible to make a gift to an unincorporated association by way of a trust to further its purposes. On examination of the 'beneficiary principle', the conclusion is reached that it has no solid foundation in authority. While it is based upon the undoubtedly sound principle that a trust must be subject to enforcement, it represents an extremely restrictive view of the manner in which the need for enforceability can be satisfied. It is argued that a broader viewpoint is both possible and acceptable. The 'beneficiary principle' should be replaced by the 'control principle'. The 'control principle' stands for the proposition that a trust for non-charitable purposes can be adequately controlled by a broad range of individuals, and not only direct beneficiaries. With this principle as its starting point, this thesis propounds the Control Analysis of gifts to unincorporated associations whereby gifts on trust for the purposes of the association are recognised as enforceable by its members and are therefore valid.

description: This study presents a novel piezoelectric beam structure for acoustic energy harvesting. The beams have been designed to maximize output energy in areas where the noise level is loud such as highway traffic. The beam consists of two layers of copper and polyvinylidene fluoride that convert the ambient noise's vibration energy to electrical energy. The piezoelectric material's optimum placement has been studied, and its best position is obtained on the substrate for the maximum yield. Unlike previous studies, in which the entire beam substrate used to be covered by a material, this study presents a modest material usage and contributes to lowering the harvester's final production cost. Additionally, in this study, an electrical model was developed for the sensor and a read-out circuitry was proposed for the converter. Moreover, the sensor was validated at different noise levels at various lengths and locations. The simulations were performed in COMSOL Multiphysics and MATLAB and report a maximum sound pressure of 140 dB from 100 dB point sources in an enclosed air-filled cubic meter chamber.

Year: 2020

TEC Webinar Slides
Abstract: The transportation sector consumes approximately 28 percent of the total energy consumption. The most prominent sustainable solution to profoundly reduce both oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions lies in grid-enabled electric vehicles (EVs). These vehicles are propelled either partially or fully by electricity through energy storage systems such as electrochemical batteries, which need to be charged from the grid. One of the most important realities that will facilitate the adoption of grid enabled plugin EVs (PEVs) is the method by which these vehicles will be charged. Currently, conductive charging is the dominant charging technology in commercially available PEVs.

In this webinar, I will give an extensive overview of the conductive charging technology of PEV from the perspective of a power electronics professional.  The background review covers the charging power levels, PEV charger architectures, charging profiles of Lithium Ion batteries, as well as the challenges and opportunities. Followed by is a comprehensive review of state of the art emerging solutions to those technological challenges. The advanced topics include innovative circuit topologies, advanced control strategies, integrated architectures wide bandgap devices, and boosted power density with high switching frequency. Furthermore, I will give an introduction to our recent related research works. Finally, the webinar concludes with an outlook on future technology trends.

description: We show that polaritons in an array of interacting micro-cavities with strong atom-photon coupling can form a two-component Bose-Hubbard model. Both polariton species are thereby protected against spontaneous emission as their atomic part is stored in two ground states of the atoms. The parameters of the effective model can be tuned via the driving strength of external lasers. We also describe a method to measure the number statistics in one cavity for each polariton species independently.

The colored Jones polynomials are obtained as the Wilson loop expectation values along knots in $SU(2)$ Chern-Simons gauge theories on $\mathbb{S}^3$, and then our construction provides an explicit correspondence between 3D $\mathcal{N}=2$ abelian gauge theories and 3D $SU(2)$ Chern-Simons gauge theories. We verify, in particular, the applicability of our constructions to a class of tangle diagrams of 2-bridge knots with certain specific twists.

A second look at the Mareva injunction
Creators: name: Jessiman, Jon L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The form of interlocutory injunction commonly called "Mareva" is a recent judicial invention. It was initially designed by the United Kingdom courts to restrain a debtor, prior to judgment, from removing his assets beyond the jurisdiction of the court so as to prevent a creditor from subsequently executing upon a judgment. Prior to 1975, this particular remedy was practically unknown to the common law and injunctions were not granted for such purposes. In the intervening eight years, both the practice and the procedure for obtaining the injunction have been expanded and refined. The use of the injunction has spread to Canada and to other Commonwealth nations. Its legitimacy was mooted for several years following the first reported case. The burden of this thesis is to examine the principle and the extensions authorized for its application both in Canada and abroad, to probe the sources of its invention and to reflect on its appropriate use within the Canadian context. This is done, as it were, as a second view, with the dispassion that distance in time safely allows and with regard to the learnings that extensive experience in the courts might afford. The examination begins with a review of the law prior to Mareva, continues with the reasoning utilised by the English court in its adoption from civil law processes and questions the authenticity of the Court's logic in such a step. An extensive review is made of similar remedies available in some other jurisdictions and the thesis concludes with an analysis of the dangers inherent in simply importing the English practice to the Canadian scene, a course which ostensibly the Canadian courts have initially followed.

A family of abelian theories are identified with those proposed earlier in the context of the M-crystal model for M2-branes probing (C^2/Z_n)^2 orbifolds. Possible extension with non-abelian BF couplings and string/M-theory realization are briefly discussed.

Enhancing the life of Lithium Ion (LiIon) battery packs has been the topic of much interest. In this framework, the role of on board cell voltage balancing of Li Ion batteries will be highlighted in this talk. This is a very important topic in the context of battery energy storage cost and life state of charge, SOC (state of health), SOH monitoring. Li Iion batteries, although popularly proposed for electric transport, have been highly uneconomic for energy storage, overshooting cost requirements by a large margin.

This talk will also introduce a first of its kind closed-loop cell charge (voltage) balancing and extreme fast charging technique. The technique uses instantaneous cell voltage and or temperature rise as a control parameter. Existing charging techniques for Li Ion batteries use a largely open loop approach, where the charge profile is pre decided, based on apriori knowledge of cell parameters.  There is a need for closed loop charging techniques that use instantaneous cell voltage and or temperature to modulate the charging current magnitude. This seminar addresses this gap by proposing for the first time ever a constant temperature constant voltage (CT-CV) charging technique, considering cell temperature as a key degradation metric. This talk will also establish the benefits of the proposed CT-CV charging at cell level and increases the possibility of extending it to the pack level by integrating it with battery management systems.

description: We obtain orthogonal polynomial self-duality functions for multi-species version of the symmetric exclusion process (SEP$(2j)$) and the independent random walker process (IRW) on a finite undirected graph. In each process, we have $n>1$ species of particles. In addition, we allow up to $2j$ particles to occupy each site in the multi-species SEP$(2j)$. The duality functions for the multi-species SEP$(2j)$ and the multi-species IRW come from unitary intertwiners between different $*$-representations of the special linear Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$ and the Heisenberg Lie algebra $\mathfrak{h}_n$, respectively. The analysis leads to multivariate Krawtchouk polynomials as orthogonal duality functions for the multi-species SEP$(2j)$ and homogeneous products of Charlier polynomials as orthogonal duality functions for the multi-species IRW.

description: In multi-cell non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems, designing an appropriate user grouping strategy is an open problem due to diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements and inter-cell interference. In this paper, we exploit both game theory and graph theory to study QoS-aware user grouping strategies, aiming at minimizing power consumption in downlink multi-cell NOMA systems. Under different QoS requirements, we derive the optimal successive interference cancellation (SIC) decoding order with inter-cell interference, which is different from existing SIC decoding order of increasing channel gains, and obtain the corresponding power allocation strategy. Based on this, the exact potential game model of the user grouping strategies adopted by multiple cells is formulated. We prove that, in this game, the problem for each player to find a grouping strategy can be converted into the problem of searching for specific negative loops in the graph composed of users. Bellman-Ford algorithm is expanded to find these negative loops. Furthermore, we design a greedy based suboptimal strategy to approach the optimal solution with polynomial time. Extensive simulations confirm the effectiveness of grouping users with consideration of QoS and inter-cell interference, and show that the proposed strategies can considerably reduce total power consumption comparing with reference strategies.

description: Clozel and Labesse proved the base change fundamental lemma for spherical Hecke algebras attached to an unramified group over a p-adic field. This paper proves an analogous fundamental lemma for centers of parahoric Hecke algebras attached to the same class of groups. This provides an ingredient needed for the author's program to study Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure at p.

description: We review our recent proposal for a background independent formulation of a holographic theory of quantum gravity. The present review incorporates the necessary background material on geometry of canonical quantum theory, holography and spacetime thermodynamics, Matrix theory, as well as our specific proposal for a dynamical theory of geometric quantum mechanics, as applied to Matrix theory. At the heart of this review is a new analysis of the conceptual problem of time and the closely related and phenomenologically relevant problem of vacuum energy in quantum gravity. We also present a discussion of some observational implications of this new viewpoint on the problem of vacuum energy.

description: The structural deformations of the sedimentary cover of the Dnieper-Donets basin (DDB) of the stages of platform tectonic activation in the zone of its articulation with the Donets Foldbelt (DF) were studied. Based on the structural analysis of the geocarting materials of the territory of the Western Donets Graben (WDG), using field definitions of the directions of tectonic movements along the faults, structural patterns of different age tectonites were analyzed. It was found that folded deformations in three structural floors identified in the sedimentary cover (Hercinian, Laramian, and Attic) were controlled by overthrusts and reverse faults of the north, northwest, and southeast azimuths with a significant component of horizontal displacements along them. A feature of inverse tectonics is the formation of dynamically conjugated lattices of thrusts of the Late Hercynian and Alpine (Laramian and Attic phases) stages of orogenesis, which control layered cover-thrust dislocations and linear, coulisse jointed uplift-folding The set of identified deformation structures is considered as part of the regional system of tectonic thrust of repeatedly deployed, crushed into geomass folds of sedimentary rocks from the southeast, from the DF, to the northwest into the weakly deployed syneclise cover of the basin. The main structural element of the cover-folded system, which determines the inverse tectonic style, is the wedge-shaped tectonic segment of the geomass wedging. Its northeastern flank is formed by zones of open Paleozoic structures Torsko-Drobishivskaya, North-Donetsk, Matrossko-Toshkovskaya, south-west by echelons of scaly folded covers controlled by lattices of Hercynian and Alpine thrusts. The axis of the segment is formed by Petrovsko-Novotroitska, Komyshuvakhska, Druzhkivsko-Kostyantinovska and Main uplift-anticlines. Based on the identification of the tectonic style of inversion deformations, it was established that the riftogenic structure of the WDG was completely destroyed by collision deformations with the formation of the West Donetsk Cover-Folded Tectonic Region. According to the style and intensity of deformations, in its northern part, the Lugansko-Komyshuvakhsky Area is distinguished by coulisse jointed uplift-folding, and in the south by the Kalmius-Toretsky Area of scaly thrust covers.

description: In close binaries mass and angular momentum can be transferred from one star to the other during Roche-lobe overflow. The efficiency of this process is not well understood and constitutes one of the largest uncertainties in binary evolution. One of the problems lies in the transfer of angular momentum, which will spin up the accreting star. In very tight systems tidal friction can prevent reaching critical rotation, by locking the spin period to the orbital period. Accreting stars in systems with orbital periods larger than a few days reach critical rotation after accreting only a fraction of their mass, unless there is an effective mechanism to get rid of angular momentum. In low mass stars magnetic field might help. In more massive stars angular momentum loss will be accompanied by strong mass loss. This would imply that most interacting binaries with initial orbital periods larger than a few days evolve very non-conservatively. In this contribution we wish to draw attention to the unsolved problems related to mass and angular momentum transfer in binary systems. We do this by presenting the first results of an implementation of spin up by accretion into the TWIN version of the Eggleton stellar evolution code.

description: We present two alternative proofs for the cancellation mechanism in the U(1) symmetric pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone-Boson Dark Matter (pNGB DM) model. They help us to have a better understanding of the mechanism from multi-angle, and inspire us to propose some interesting generalizations. In the first proof, we revisit the non-linear representation method and rephrase the argument with the interaction eigenstates. In this picture, the phase mode (DM) can only have a trilinear interaction with a derivative-squared acting on the radial mode when the DM is on-shell. Thus, the DM-quark scattering generated by a mass mixing between the radial mode and the Higgs boson vanishes in the limit of zero-momentum transfer. Using the same method, we can easily generalize the model to an SO(N) model with general soft-breaking structures. In particular, we study the soft-breaking cubic terms and identify those terms which preserve the cancellation mechanism for the DM candidate. In our discussion of the second method, we find that the cancellation relies on the special structure of mass terms and interactions of the mediators. This condition can be straightforwardly generalized to the vector-portal models. We provide two examples of the vector-portal case where the first one is an SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_X model and the second one is an SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_(B-L) \times U(1)_X model. In the first model, the vector mediators are the Z_nu boson and a new U(1)_X gauge boson X_nu, while in the second model the mediators are the U(1)_(B-L) and U(1)_X gauge bosons. The cancellation mechanism works in both models when there are no generic kinetic mixing terms for the gauge bosons. Once the generic kinetic mixing terms are included, the first model requires a fine-tuning of the mixing parameter to avoid the stringent direct detection bound, while the second model can naturally circumvent it.
