description: ヴァーチャルリアリティー (VR) 市場が急速に拡大することで,VR 空間内で楽 器の演奏を可能とした作品も多く見られるようになった.しかし,それらの多く はエア楽器のようなものであり,演奏時に触覚フィードバックを得ることができ ないため,VR を用いない自然楽器と比べ演奏がしにくくなると考えられる. 既存作品には,コントローラーを振動させることで触覚フィードバックを与えて いるシステムが存在する.しかし我々は実在の物体を叩打することで触覚フィー ドバックを与えるべきだと考えられる.なぜならドラムの奏法として叩打時の反 動を利用して次の叩打に繋げる方法が一般的であるためである. 本研究では上記の考えに基づき,VR 空間のドラムの位置に重なるように実在の ドラムを配置する.ユーザーは仮想空間での演奏を実在のドラムを叩きながら行 うことになる.叩打時に反動を得られることでユーザーが演奏をしやすくなるこ とを期待する. 評価実験では,実ドラムがあるシステム (条件1) を使用した演奏と実ドラムの ないシステム (条件2) を使用した演奏を8通りのパターンで行い,発音タイミン グの inter-onset interval (IOI) の変動を比較した.実験の結果,条件 1 は条件 2 と 比べすべてのパターンで発音タイミングの IOI の変動係数が小さくなった.この 結果より条件 1 のほうがより安定して演奏できる環境であった.

description: This paper evaluates the impact of some key labor market reforms on rural-urban inequality and income distribution, using a household-disaggregated, recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of China. We also explore how these factor market reforms interact with product market reforms currently underway as part of China's WTO accession process. The simulation results show that the reforms in rural land rental market and Hukou system, as well as increasing off-farm labor mobility would reduce the urban-rural income ratio dramatically. Furthermore, the combination of WTO accession and factor market reforms improves both efficiency and equality significantly.

description: I review recent results on the spatial distribution of substructure in CDM halos. I show that the spatial distribution of subhalos is anisotropic and generally prolate with a long axis that is closely aligned with the long axis of the total mass distribution of the host halo. I show that the correlation between the subhalo distribution and the long axis of the host halo is strong both in dissipationless and dissipational gasdynamical simulations. More massive subhalos tend to be more strongly clustered along the major axis of the host halo reflecting filamentary accretion. The anisotropy of subhalos has potential implications for the interpretation of several observations in the Local Group and beyond. For example, I show that while the mean projected mass fraction in substructure in the central regions of CDM halos is fsub \approx 0.4%, fsub is a strong function of projection angle and is ~ 5 to 6 times higher for projections that are nearly collinear with the major axis of the host halo.

description: Freshwater fish play a crucial role in controlling mosquito populations, serving as natural predators of mosquito larvae in aquatic ecosystems. This study investigates the effectiveness of various freshwater fish species in reducing mosquito populations, with a focus on both native and introduced species in diverse habitats. By analyzing the predation rates, feeding behaviors, and environmental adaptability of these fish, this research aims to identify the most effective species for biological mosquito control. The findings indicate that certain species, such as Gambusia affinis (mosquitofish), are particularly effective in reducing mosquito larvae density, making them valuable allies in integrated mosquito management strategies. This study highlights the potential of leveraging freshwater fish as an eco-friendly alternative to chemical mosquito control methods, contributing to sustainable public health interventions.

Development and analysis of a computer model of endometrial thermal ablation for the treatment of menorrhagia

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Menorrhagia, the condition of excessive menstrual flow, affects up to 20% of women at some point in their lives. In the past decade a new treatment, endometrial thermal ablation, has been developed. Rather than removing the whole uterus, as in a hysterectomy, only the inner lining responsible for menstrual flow is eliminated. A computer model of the heat transfer and tissue burning process was created to analyse two different approaches that utilize heated liquid contained in a flexible balloon to cauterise the endometrium. One approach maintains a constant fluid temperature throughout the treatment protocol. The other approach, referred to in this thesis as the Thermal Reservoir System (TRS), oscillates preheated fluid between the balloon and a reservoir via an insulated tube. Validation of the model predictions was performed using data from the literature, meat analogues of the uterus with thermometry data, and the results of clinical trials of the TRS. The model accurately predicts burn depth within the limits of the inter-individual variation. The results indicate that both devices provide an adequate degree of endometrial destruction with minimal risk of thermal damage to organs in the peritoneal cavity. In general, the TRS is predicted to be less affected by variation in individual treatment parameters (such as the uterus cavity volume and the blood perfusion rate). The model also indicates that the use of higher temperatures improves the specificity of the burn injury, reducing damage to the non-targeted tissue while adequately cauterising the targeted tissue. The use of computer modelling in the study of endometrial thermal ablation has been very fruitful. As a result of this study, many useful insights have been obtained regarding both the physics of the TRS device and the general process of endometrial thermal ablation.

description: The nucleon EDM is shown to be directly related to the EDM of atomic systems. From the observed EDM values of the atomic Hg system, the neutron EDM can be extracted, which gives a very stringent constraint on the supersymmetry parameters. It is also shown that the measurement of Nitrogen and Thallium atomic systems should provide important information on the flavor dependence of the quark EDM. We perform numerical analyses on the EDM of neutron, proton and electron in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with CP-violating phases. We demonstrate that the new limit on the neutron EDM extracted from atomic systems excludes a wide parameter region of supersymmetry breaking masses above 1 TeV, while the old limit excludes only a small mass region below 1 TeV.

description: The growing popularity of marine recreational fishing has created considerable interest in artificial marine habitat development to maintain and enhance coastal fishery stocks. This paper provides a comparative evaluation of travel cost methods to estimate recreational use benefits for new habitat site planning. Theoretical concerns about price and quality effects of substitute sites, corner solutions in site choice, and econometric estimation are considered. Results from a case study indicate that benefit estimates are influenced by the way these concerns are addressed, but relatively simple single site models can provide defensible estimates. Practical limitations on data collection and model estimation are also considered.

description: Aberrations limit optical systems in many situations, for example when imaging in biological tissue. Machine learning offers novel ways to improve imaging under such conditions by learning inverse models of aberrations. Learning requires datasets that cover a wide range of possible aberrations, which however becomes limiting for more strongly scattering samples, and does not take advantage of prior information about the imaging process. Here, we show that combining model-based adaptive optics with the optimization techniques of machine learning frameworks can find aberration corrections with a small number of measurements. Corrections are determined in a transmission configuration through a single aberrating layer and in a reflection configuration through two different layers at the same time. Additionally, corrections are not limited by a predetermined model of aberrations (such as combinations of Zernike modes). Focusing in transmission can be achieved based only on reflected light, compatible with an epidetection imaging configuration.

description: I address some recently raised issues regarding the time-parametrization dependence in stochastic descriptions of eternal inflation. To clarify the role of the choice of the time gauge, I show examples of gauge-dependent as well as gauge-independent statements about physical observables in eternally inflating spacetimes. In particular, the relative abundance of thermalized and inflating regions is highly gauge-dependent. The unbounded growth of the 3-volume of the inflating regions is found in certain time gauges, such as the proper time or the scale factor gauge. Yet in the same spacetimes there exist time foliations with a finite and monotonically decreasing 3-volume, which I demonstrate by an explicit construction. I also show that there exists no "correct" choice of the time gauge that would yield an unbiased stationary probability distribution for observables in thermalized regions.

description: Consider the ensemble of real symmetric Toeplitz matrices, each independent entry an i.i.d. random variable chosen from a fixed probability distribution p of mean 0, variance 1, and finite higher moments. Previous investigations showed that the limiting spectral measure (the density of normalized eigenvalues) converges weakly and almost surely, independent of p, to a distribution which is almost the standard Gaussian. The deviations from Gaussian behavior can be interpreted as arising from obstructions to solutions of Diophantine equations. We show that these obstructions vanish if instead one considers real symmetric palindromic Toeplitz matrices, matrices where the first row is a palindrome. A similar result was previously proved for a related circulant ensemble through an analysis of the explicit formulas for eigenvalues. By Cauchy's interlacing property and the rank inequality, this ensemble has the same limiting spectral distribution as the palindromic Toeplitz matrices; a consequence of combining the two approaches is a version of the almost sure Central Limit Theorem. Thus our analysis of these Diophantine equations provides an alternate technique for proving limiting spectral measures for certain ensembles of circulant matrices.

description: La pianificazione urbana nel Vicereame del Perù nel XVI secolo e la fondazione di Lima come città modello sono state tradizionalmente studiate alla luce della lunga durata delle tradizioni urbanistiche della madrepatria spagnola e dell'integrazione della teoria architettonica classica. Poca attenzione è stata dedicata all'affermarsi di una nuova cultura architettonica in Spagna dopo la proclamazione di Carlo V come re con l'obiettivo di rappresentare il potere imperiale e alle conseguenze che ciò ebbe sulla pianificazione urbana in Spagna e soprattutto in America Latina. Sulla base di questa prospettiva, l'articolo esplora il ruolo poco notato delle direttive dei viceré e delle ordinanze comunali, nonché le loro interazioni. Con riferimento agli attuali discorsi sull'architettura, queste direttive e ordini ebbero una profonda influenza sulla protezione, l'ulteriore sviluppo e la propagazione del modello sviluppato in Perù. Questa politica proseguì la strategia di urbanizzazione imperiale di Carlo V e può essere considerata un passo importante verso la costituzione delle Ordenanzas de descubrimientos, nueva población y pacificación de las Indias del 1573.

Urban planning in the Viceroyalty of Peru in the 16th century and the foundation of Lima as model city has traditionally been studied in the light of the long duration of urbanistic traditions of the Spanish motherland and the integration of classical architectural theory. Little attention has been paid to the establishment of a new architectural culture in Spain after the proclamation of Charles V as king aiming at representing imperial power and the consequences this had for urban planning in Spain and especially in Latin America. Based on this perspective, the paper explores the little-noticed role of the viceroys' directives and of communal orders as well as their interactions. With reference to current architectural discourses, these directives and orders had a profound influence on the protection, further development and propagation of the model developed in Peru. This policy continued the imperial urbanisation strategy of Charles V and can be considered as an important step towards the constitution of the Ordenanzas de descubrimientos, nueva población y pacificación de las Indias of 1573.

description: The effect of irrigation system uniformity on the selection of risk-efficient irrigation strategies is evaluated using crop simulation and stochastic dominance procedures. Alternative strategies are evaluated under assumptions of both uniform and non-uniform application. Results indicate that the variability of net returns resulting from the employment of a specified schedule increases when irrigation uniformity is explicitly represented. Solutions derived using economic efficiency and stochastic dominance criteria indicate that the uniformity with which irrigations are applied contributes to the application of water-intensive irrigation schedules.

description: We theoretically study the effect of external deformation on activated structural relaxation and elementary aspects of the nonlinear mechanical response of glassy hard sphere fluids in the context of the nonequilibrium version of the Elastically Collective Nonlinear Langevin Equation (ECNLE) theory. ECNLE theory describes activated relaxation as a coupled local-nonlocal event involving local caging and longer range collective elasticity, with the latter becoming more important with increasing packing fraction. The central new question is how this physical picture, and the relative importance of caging versus elasticity physics, depends on external stress, strain and shear rate. Theoretical predictions are presented for deformation induced enhancement of mobility, onset of relaxation speed up at remarkably low values of stress, strain or dimensionless shear rate, thinning of the structural relaxation time and viscosity with apparent power law exponents, a non-vanishing activation barrier in the shear thinning regime, a Herschel-Bulkley form of rate dependence of the steady state shear stress, exponential growth of dynamic yield stresses with packing fraction, and reduced dynamic fragility and heterogeneity under deformation. The results are contrasted with experiments and simulations, and qualitative or better agreement is found. An overarching conclusion is that deformation strongly reduces the importance of longer range collective elastic effects for most, but not all, physical questions, with stress-dependent dynamic heterogeneity phenomena being qualitatively sensitive to collective elasticity. Overall, nonlinear rheology is a more local cage scale problem than quiescent relaxation, albeit with deformation-modified activated processes still important.

This corresponds up to the 7th peak in the CMB angular power spectrum. The acoustic scale derived, (105.4 \pm 2.3) h^{-1}Mpc, agrees very well with the ``concordance'' model prediction and also with the one determined via the analysis of the spatial two-point correlation function by Eisenstein et al. (2005). The models with baryonic features are favored by 3.3 σover their ``smoothed-out'' counterparts without any oscillatory behavior.

description: A conceptual link among mean-variance (EV), stochastic dominance (SD), and mean-risk (ET), and Gini mean difference (EG) is established for determining risk efficient decision sets. The theoretical relations among the various efficiency criteria are then empirically demonstrated with a soybean and wheat double-crop simulation model. Empirical results associated with extended Gini mean difference (EEG) and extended mean-absolute Gini (EET) for risk analysis are encouraging.

description: We discuss higher spin gauge symmetry breaking in AdS space from a holographic prespective. Indeed, the AdS/CFT correspondence implies that N=4 SYM theory at vanishing coupling constant is dual to a theory in AdS which exhibits higher spin gauge symmetry enhancement. When the SYM coupling is non-zero, the current conservation condition becomes anomalous, and correspondingly the local higher spin symmetry in the bulk gets spontaneously broken. In agreement with previous results and holographic expectations, we find that the Goldstone mode responsible for the symmetry breaking in AdS has a non-vanishing mass even in the limit in which the gauge symmetry is restored. Moreover, we show that the mass of the Goldstone mode is exactly the one predicted by the correspondence. Finally, we obtain the precise form of the higher spin supercurrents in the SYM side.

The effects of long chain branching on the rheological properties of polymers
Creators: name: Giumanca, Radu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Long chain branching (LCB) is a very important feature in polymer science due to its influence on the rheological properties of polymers. It has been shown that long chain branching causes strain hardening behavior in the extensional flow of polymer, feature which is not seen in linear species. A great industrial interest has been shown in a method which would detect long chain branching by a simple, yet robust method. Fifteen different samples of polypropylene (PP) of varying molecular weights (MW) and branching structures were studied. The aim was to obtain linear viscoelastic measurements using a Rheometrics System IV rheometer and compare the results to determine the effects of backbone MW, branch MW, and number of branches on the polymers' viscoelastic properties. It was discovered that the samples exhibit drastic thermal degradation, even under inert atmosphere. An antioxidant (Irganox 1010) was found to have no effect. A comparison of linear viscoelastic data yielded questionable results, perhaps suggesting a higher than expected polydispersity. Samples of comb-structure polystyrene were also studied. Linear viscoelastic data was obtained for two different series of PS, differing in MW and branch MW. By comparing with previously obtained data, it was discovered that time (~20 years) has had a small effect for most of the samples. Non-linear measurements were also obtained, and the results for the most part agree with published data. The differences, especially an extended plateau feature previously unpublished, are discussed.

description: In recent years, the decay-less regime of standing transverse oscillations in coronal loops has been the topic of many observational and numerical studies, focusing on their physical characteristics, as well as their importance for coronal seismology and wave heating. However, no definitive answer has yet been given on the driving mechanism behind these oscillations, with most studies focusing on the use of periodic footpoint drivers as a means to excite them. In this paper, our goal is to explore the concept of these standing waves being self-sustained oscillations, driven by a constant background flow. To that end, we use the PLUTO code, to perform $3$D magnetohydrodynamic simulations of a gravitationally stratified straight flux tube in a coronal environment, in the presence of a weak flow around the loop, perpendicular to its axis. Once this flow is firmly set up, a transverse oscillation is initiated, dominated by the fundamental kink mode of a standing wave, while the existence of a second harmonic is revealed, with a frequency ratio to the fundamental mode near the observed ones in decay-less oscillations. The presence of vortex shedding is also established in our simulations, which is connected to the "slippery" interaction between the oscillator and its surrounding plasma. We thus present a proof-of-concept of a self-oscillation in a coronal loop, and we propose it as a mechanism that could interpret the observed decay-less transverse oscillations of coronal loops.

description: Interference phenomena render tailoring propagation of electromagnetic waves by controlling phases of several scattering channels. Huygens element, being a representative example of this approach, allows enhancement of the scattering from an object in a forward direction, while the reflection is suppressed. However, a typical resonant realization of Huygens element employs constructive interference between electric and magnetic dipolar resonances that makes it relatively narrowband. Here we develop the concept of a broadband resonant Huygens element, based on a circular array of vertically aligned metal wires. Accurate management of multipole interference in an electrically small structure results in directional scattering over a large bandwidth, acceding 10% of the carrier frequency. Being constructed from non-magnetic materials, this structure demonstrates a strong magnetic response appearing in dominating magnetic multipoles over electric counterparts. Moreover, we predict and observe very high-order magnetic hexadecapole (M16-pole) and magnetic triakontadipole (M32-pole) with quality factors, approaching 6,000. The experimental demonstration is performed at the low GHz spectral range. Our findings shed light on a simple approach for engineering compact and open electromagnetic devices (antennas, directional reflectors, refractors, etc.) able to tailor wave propagation in a broadband domain, concentrate strong magnetic field, and generate high-order magnetic multipoles.

description: In this article, we propose a very efficient technique to enhance the dynamical robustness for a network of mean-field coupled oscillators experiencing aging transition. In particular, we present a control mechanism based on delayed negative self-feedback, which can effectively enhance dynamical activities in a mean-field coupled network of active and inactive oscillators. Even for a small value of delay, robustness gets enhanced to a significant level. In our proposed scheme, the enhancing effect is more pronounced for strong coupling. To our surprise even if all the oscillators perturbed to equilibrium mode delayed negative self-feedback able to restore oscillatory activities in the network for strong coupling strength. We demonstrate that our proposed mechanism is independent of coupling topology. For a globally coupled network, we provide numerical and analytical treatment to verify our claim. Also, for global coupling to establish the generality of our scheme, we validate our results for both Stuart-Landau limit cycle oscillators and chaotic Rossler oscillators. To show that our scheme is independent of network topology, we also provide numerical results for the local mean-field coupled complex network.

description: We describe a chiral formalism for processes involving both energetic hadrons and soft Goldstone bosons, which extends the application of soft-collinear effective theory to multibody B decays. The nonfactorizable helicity amplitudes for heavy meson decays into multibody final states satisfy symmetry relations analogous to the large energy form factor relations, which are broken at leading order in Lambda/mb by calculable factorizable terms. We use the chiral effective theory to compute the leading corrections to these symmetry relations in B -> M_n pi ell\barνand B -> M_n pi e+e- decays.

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: Numerical simulations of high-strain-rate and high-temperature deformation of pure metals and alloys require realistic plastic constitutive models. Empirical models include the widely used Johnson-Cook model and the semi-empirical Steinberg-Cochran-Guinan-Lund model. Physically based models such as the Zerilli-Armstrong model, the Mechanical Threshold Stress model, and the Preston-Tonks-Wallace model are also coming into wide use. In this paper, we determine the Mechanical Threshold Stress model parameters for various tempers of AISI 4340 steel using experimental data from the open literature. We also compare stress-strain curves and Taylor impact test profiles predicted by the Mechanical Threshold Stress model with those from the Johnson-Cook model for 4340 steel. Relevant temperature- and pressure-dependent shear modulus models, melting temperature models, a specific heat model, and an equation of state for 4340 steel are discussed and their parameters are presented.

description: The purpose of this study was to develop a procedure for estimating future rail traffic that considers the relationship between the structure of a state's economy and rail freight traffic. The study expands the use of input-output models to include the forecasting of transportation demand. Georgia and Michigan case studies were used to test the forecasting capability of the input-output procedure. For Michigan's 1980 rail movements, the model predicted rail traffic to within 0.15 percent of actual traffic. For 1979 Georgia traffic, the model predicted within 4.3 percent of actual traffic. Various statistical tests indicate that the procedure was effective in forecasting rail freight traffic.
