Status report on special waste management in British Columbia
Creators: name: Hubbard, Lanny T.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This paper reviews the status of the special waste management program of the Province of British Columbia. Special wastes are wastes potentially hazardous to human health and/or the environment which require special management techniques. Approximately 74,000 tonnes are thought to be generated annually in the province, mostly in the Vancouver area. The program's waste management technologies, waste management legislation, criteria for siting disposal facilities, and public information plan are among the major topics discussed.

description: A fluid occupying a mechanically isolated vessel with walls kept at spatially non-uniform temperature is in the long run expected to reach the spatially inhomogeneous steady state. Irrespective of the initial conditions the velocity field is expected to vanish, and the temperature field is expected to be fully determined by the steady heat equation. This simple observation is however difficult to prove using the corresponding governing equations. The main difficulties are the presence of the dissipative heating term in the evolution equation for temperature and the lack of control on the heat fluxes through the boundary. Using thermodynamically based arguments, it is shown that these difficulties in the proof can be overcome, and it is proved that the velocity and temperature perturbations to the steady state actually vanish as the time goes to infinity.

description: Federated Learning (FL) presents a promising avenue for collaborative model training among medical centers, facilitating knowledge exchange without compromising data privacy. However, vanilla FL is prone to server failures and rarely achieves optimal performance on all participating sites due to heterogeneous data distributions among them. To overcome these challenges, we propose Gossip Contrastive Mutual Learning (GCML), a unified framework to optimize personalized models in a decentralized environment, where Gossip Protocol is employed for flexible and robust peer-to-peer communication. To make efficient and reliable knowledge exchange in each communication without the global knowledge across all the sites, we introduce deep contrast mutual learning (DCML), a simple yet effective scheme to encourage knowledge transfer between the incoming and local models through collaborative training on local data. By integrating DCML with other efforts to optimize site-specific models by leveraging useful information from peers, we evaluated the performance and efficiency of the proposed method on three publicly available datasets with different segmentation tasks. Our extensive experimental results show that the proposed GCML framework outperformed both centralized and decentralized FL methods with significantly reduced communication overhead, indicating its potential for real-world deployment. Upon the acceptance of manuscript, the code will be available at: https://github.com/CUMC-Yuan-Lab/GCML.

description: The precise relationship between the arbitrary monodromy dependent 2-form appearing in the chiral WZNW symplectic form and the `exchange r-matrix' that governs the corresponding Poisson brackets is established. Generalizing earlier results related to diagonal monodromy, the exchange r-matrices are shown to satisfy a new dynamical generalization of the classical modified Yang-Baxter equation, which is found to admit an interpretation in terms of (new) Poisson-Lie groupoids. Dynamical exchange r-matrices for which right multiplication yields a classical or a Poisson-Lie symmetry on the chiral WZNW phase space are presented explicitly.

description: Tensor network (TN) has recently triggered extensive interests in developing machine-learning models in quantum many-body Hilbert space. Here we purpose a generative TN classification (GTNC) approach for supervised learning. The strategy is to train the generative TN for each class of the samples to construct the classifiers. The classification is implemented by comparing the distance in the many-body Hilbert space. The numerical experiments by GTNC show impressive performance on the MNIST and Fashion-MNIST dataset. The testing accuracy is competitive to the state-of-the-art convolutional neural network while higher than the naive Bayes classifier (a generative classifier) and support vector machine. Moreover, GTNC is more efficient than the existing TN models that are in general discriminative. By investigating the distances in the many-body Hilbert space, we find that (a) the samples are naturally clustering in such a space; and (b) bounding the bond dimensions of the TN's to finite values corresponds to removing redundant information in the image recognition. These two characters make GTNC an adaptive and universal model of excellent performance.

description: The nature of the charge carriers in high-Tc cuprates is an essential issue to reveal their novel physical properties and the mechanism of their superconductivity. However, the experimental probes and the theoretical analysis have been mostly restricted to the linear responses. On the other hand, recent observations of Rashbatype spin-orbit coupling (SOC) on the surface of high-Tc cuprates imply the possible nonlinear and nonreciprocal transport phenomena under in-plane magnetic fields. In this paper, we study the nonreciprocal transport properties on the surface of cuprates by employing a U(1) gauge theory framework, where the electrons are considered to be fractionalized. Our investigation highlights the intricate variations in nonreciprocal transport with respect to temperatures and dopings. First, it reveals contrasting behavior of nonreciprocity in each normal phase. Second, it discerns the tendencies between underdoped and overdoped superconducting states and their paraconductivity. The complex behaviors of nonreciprocal transport originate from the spinful and spinless nature of the charge carriers and their kinetic energy scales. These findings pave a new avenue to explore the electronic states in high-Tc cuprates in terms of nonreciprocal transport phenomena.

Nitrogen cycling in high elevation reclaimed mine spoil in southeastern British Columbia
Creators: name: Fyles, Helen
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The research that has been carried out on N at Westar has been essential to determine the ability of the reclaimed sites to survive once management practices are terminated. It has been established that N is not accumulating in the litter on the soil surface but substantial amounts are being recycled by decomposition processes. A large proportion of the plant N is present in the plant roots; where it should be for a stable, self-sustaining plant system to develop. The labelled fertilizer study has shown that in the older reclaimed sites, only a small portion of the N in the plant comes from the fertilizer and most of it comes from supplies accumulated in the soil. This suggests that present management practices at Westar are successfully creating plant/soil systems on their high elevation reclaimed sites which recycle sufficient nutrients to meet the needs of plant growth.
Josephson Diode Effect in Topological Superconductor

description: We investigate the Josephson diode effect (JDE) in topological Josephson junctions. By both analytic and numerical calculations, we find that while a Josephson junction in the topological phase may exhibit higher diode efficiency compared to that in the trivial phase, this behavior is not universal. The presence of Majorana bound states is not a sufficient condition for a large diode effect. Furthermore, the diode efficiency undergoes substantial changes only in specific regions along the topological phase transition boundary, and a significant diode effect does coincide with the topological phases. Thereby our paper suggests the utilization of topological superconductivity for enhanced JDE, and also the Josephson diode effect may serve as an indicator for topological superconductor phase. These results suggest a nuanced relationship between the topological aspects of Josephson junctions and Josephson diode effect.

From Brand Village to Living Heritage: Tong-il-chon in the Area of Korean Demilitarized Zone
Creators: Kim, Sohyun
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Historic preservation
Architecture--Conservation and restoration

description: This thesis argues that Tong-il-chon should be revalorized into living heritage than a typical brand village, by providing in-depth analyses to evidence Tong-il-chon’s historical status of significance. It also offers suggestions for an integrity-conscious preservation approach that would help Tong- il-chon turn into compelling heritage with a clear historical identity of the inter-border area of Korean Peninsula. Tong-il-chon, a strategic civilian village built in the area of Korean Demilitarized Zone by the South Korean government in 1973, stands as an important evidence of the long history of the two Koreas’ discourses and diplomatic relations around unification. However, recent initiatives taken into Tong-il-chon and its surroundings – for example, the Tong- il-chon Brand Village Development Project that overlooked preservation of the village’s physical setting and the Camp Greaves History Theme Park Project that is considering a direct connection to the village – raise a question about conflicts with the deserving value and status of Tong-il-chon. In response to this question, this thesis will begin with a two-pronged analysis to establish Tong- il-chon’s values: first, a design analysis based on architectural documentation of the village to assess the character-defining features of Tong-il-chon and their associated values, and second, a sociopolitical analysis to understand the establishment of Tong-il-chon not only within the political, social, and economic background of South Korea in 1970s, but also in comparison with other countries’ cases which applied similar strategic development methods to certain villagizations. After Tong-il-chon’s values are defined, the current context around Tong-il-chon will be discussed to identify main imminent issues that could threaten the integrity of Tong-il- chon. Lastly, effective management plans and recommendations will be proposed based on the assessed values of Tong-il-chon, which will be suggesting an overarching conceptual foundation through more specific, elaborated objectives and methodologies so that they can help the village evolve into living heritage with a successful balance between preservation and development.
Integrals of motion and the shape of the attractor for the Lorenz model

description: In this paper, we consider three-dimensional dynamical systems, as for example the Lorenz model. For these systems, we introduce a method for obtaining families of two-dimensional surfaces such that trajectories cross each surface of the family in the same direction. For obtaining these surfaces, we are guided by the integrals of motion that exist for particular values of the parameters of the system. Nonetheless families of surfaces are obtained for arbitrary values of these parameters. Only a bounded region of the phase space is not filled by these surfaces. The global attractor of the system must be contained in this region. In this way, we obtain information on the shape and location of the global attractor. These results are more restrictive than similar bounds that have been recently found by the method of Lyapunov functions.

Wind Stress Parameterisation in the Southern Ocean

description: Wind stress is often parameterised in ocean-atmosphere coupled models by a quadratic function of atmosphere velocity. Strictly speaking, this drag law should be a quadratic function of the difference between the ocean and atmosphere velocities. The two schemes give very similar magnitudes of stress, however the power input is significantly reduced under the velocity difference stress. This work is the first to model this effect in the Southern Ocean. The velocity difference stress is found to reduce power input, but paradoxically the circumpolar transport is increased. The increase in transport is a consequence of two main factors: eddy saturation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, and eddy damping under the velocity difference stress. ¶ The wind stress parameterisation is also modified, by coupling the quadratic drag law to the temperature difference between the ocean and atmosphere. This simple representation is shown to be consistent with scatterometer observations, and the coupling constant is calibrated using known correlations between gradients of stress and sea surface temperature. Unlike the velocity difference stress, the temperature coupled stress is found to have a negligible effect on the mean flow in this model.
From Aesthetics to Politics in the Dreyfus Affair
Creators: Cooke, Roderick
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: Literature
History

description: This dissertation proposes a new interpretation for the political engagement of French writers in the Dreyfus Affair between 1897 and 1900. I argue that aesthetics has been undervalued by past scholarship on this question, and analyze the engagement of four very different writers - Emile Zola, Ferdinand Brunetière, Henry Céard and Saint-Georges de Bouhélier - demonstrating that, in each case, their prior aesthetic thought was a vital part of their political discourse on the Affair. This claim involves a rethinking of the relationship between aesthetics and politics as it has usually been conceived, with the aesthetic no longer a reflection of the political, but rather a potential source for it.
For each of the writers studied, his literary criticism and theory (dating as far back as the 1860s) are put in dialogue with his writing about the Dreyfus Affair itself through close readings of both corpuses. In each case, attention is paid to the continuities and inversions of central ideas such as individualism, truth, and the Republic, in order to illustrate their structural role in the intellectual world of the fin de siècle. As a result, I have termed the four chapters 'micro-histories of ideas' to convey the way in which individual concerns provide a window onto the major battles of ideas in the France of the early Third Republic.
Survey of Science Communication in Developing Pacific Island Nations
Creators: name: Hammond, Thomas J
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University

description: The developing nations of the Pacific Islands face a number of issues as they move towards economic and environmental sustainability. The application of science and scientific knowledge can be valuable in addressing these problems, and moving the region towards a more stable future. However, science can have little impact unless it is effectively communicated to relevant audiences. Science communication is a relatively new and developing discipline. It is concerned with the context in which information is delivered, and the processes by which knowledge is accepted by different groups in society. I completed an introductory study of the attitudes of scientists based in the Pacific towards science communication. To study the processes by which scientists produce, and subsequently communicate, their science, I invited scientists within the region to complete a short online survey. The survey asked respondents their attitudes towards science communication, the outcomes of their science, and their opinions on the overall success and quality of science communication in the region. Results from the survey indicate a high regard for the importance of science communication, and a general consensus that the quality and reach of science communication in the Pacific is poor. Reasons suggested for the weakness of Pacific science communication include the lack of facilities and infrastructure across the Pacific for broadcasting information, low levels of scientific literacy within the population, poorly managed networks of information exchange between scientists, and limited training and support of scientists in the communication of their work. Respondents varied in the manner in which they regarded aspects of their work to be characterised as ‘practical outcomes’. This suggests a need for more long-term studies looking at the sientific process from development of concepts, through data collection, communication and ultimately implementation.

Microwave Frequency Characterisation of Squeezed Light From an Optical Parametric Oscillator

Quantum optics

description: The quantum statistics of a laser result in noise when measurements of the beam are made. This noise sets a classical limit beyond which a laser cannot be used with increasing sensitivity. This quantum noise limit is imposed on many of the uses of lasers currently, especially in power limited devices such as optical communications. The statistics of the laser photon field can be modified to produce a non-classical state resulting in lower noise than the quantum noise limit when detected appropriately. This state, called a squeezed state, has been measured previously from a cavity enhanced optical parametric oscillator (OPO) only at frequency sidebands within the linewidth of the cavity. ¶ This thesis reports measurements of squeezing at microwave frequency sidebands on an optical beam produced by an optical parametric oscillator. This is the first reported measurement of squeezing at frequency sidebands at higher longitudinal modes of the cavity from an OPO. Noise reduction below the quantum noise limit is measured at sideband frequencies of 5 MHz, 1.7 GHz, 3.4 GHz and 5.1 GHz, corresponding to the zeroth, first, second and third longitudinal modes from the squeezed beam. These results are the highest frequency sideband measurements of squeezing to date. In addition to measuring squeezing at different longitudinal modes for the fundamental Gaussian spatial mode, non-classical noise reduction is measured at the same frequencies for a squeezed higher order spatial mode, TEM10. ¶ A single mode theoretical model of the OPO is presented, based on the work of ref. [1]. Computer simulations of the squeezing predicted by this model are developed and compared to the experimental results, showing excellent agreement between the different longitudinal modes for each of the two spatial modes measured.

description: Emerging adulthood is defined largely by two factors: its changeability and the focus on identity construction. The current trend towards increasing frequency of post-secondary education means that a major event in which these factors manifest with regard to is attending university. University is a time of increasing personal independence and identity development. Despite its contribution to individuation, university has come to be seen by many as the default, with alternative choices often being viewed in contrast with this default option—“if not university, then what?” At the same time, the negotiation of university has implications for future earning potential. Stories provide a unique and useful perspective for understanding the role of university studies in adult development. Stories are inherently about transition, as well as simultaneously being a thing-in-themselves and a metaphor. As a result, the study of the fluid, contradictory, metaphorical yet real, transitional yet discrete, stage of life development associated with commencing university studies is particularly well-suited to being studied through the stories individuals and groups tell about themselves and their experiences.
Biometric Backdoors: A Poisoning Attack Against Unsupervised Template Updating

description: In this work, we investigate the concept of biometric backdoors: a template poisoning attack on biometric systems that allows adversaries to stealthily and effortlessly impersonate users in the long-term by exploiting the template update procedure. We show that such attacks can be carried out even by attackers with physical limitations (no digital access to the sensor) and zero knowledge of training data (they know neither decision boundaries nor user template). Based on the adversaries' own templates, they craft several intermediate samples that incrementally bridge the distance between their own template and the legitimate user's. As these adversarial samples are added to the template, the attacker is eventually accepted alongside the legitimate user. To avoid detection, we design the attack to minimize the number of rejected samples. We design our method to cope with the weak assumptions for the attacker and we evaluate the effectiveness of this approach on state-of-the-art face recognition pipelines based on deep neural networks. We find that in scenarios where the deep network is known, adversaries can successfully carry out the attack over 70% of cases with less than ten injection attempts. Even in black-box scenarios, we find that exploiting the transferability of adversarial samples from surrogate models can lead to successful attacks in around 15% of cases. Finally, we design a poisoning detection technique that leverages the consistent directionality of template updates in feature space to discriminate between legitimate and malicious updates. We evaluate such a countermeasure with a set of intra-user variability factors which may present the same directionality characteristics, obtaining equal error rates for the detection between 7-14% and leading to over 99% of attacks being detected after only two sample injections.

High-spin States and K-isomers of 185Re

Subjects: Nuclear physics

description: The structure of 185Re was studied using inelastic excitation of an enricged 185Re target with 820 MeV 136Xe ions and the techniques of gamma-ray spectroscopy. The known level scheme of 185Re below the isomer at 2124 keV has been significantly extended. The 2124 keV long-lived isomer has been remeasured to have T1/2 = 200 ± 4 ns, and four isomers below this state have been characterised and their half-lives measured as 26 ± 2 ns at 368 keV, 1.3±0.6 ns at 1207 keV and 5.5±1.4 ns at 1411 keV. Through a comprehensive angular correlation analysis and consideration of K-forbidden transition strengths, the spins and parities of all states up to the T1/2 = 200 ns isomer at 2124 keV have been firmly identified.

description: We derive contributions to the trace formula for the spectral density accounting for the role of diffractive orbits in two-dimensional billiard systems with corners. This is achieved by using the exact Sommerfeld solution for the Green function of a wedge. We obtain a uniformly valid formula which interpolates between formerly separate approaches (the geometrical theory of diffraction and Gutzwiller's trace formula). It yields excellent numerical agreement with exact quantum results, also in cases where other methods fail.

On a categorical framework for classifying C*-dynamics up to cocycle conjugacy

description: We provide the rigorous foundations for a categorical approach to the classification of C*-dynamics up to cocycle conjugacy. Given a locally compact group $G$, we consider a category of (twisted) $G$-C*-algebras, where morphisms between two objects are allowed to be equivariant maps or exterior equivalences, which leads to the concept of so-called cocycle morphisms. An isomorphism in this category is precisely a cocycle conjugacy in the known sense. We show that this category allows sequential inductive limits, and that some known functors on the usual category of $G$-C*-algebras extend. After observing that this setup allows a natural notion of (approximate) unitary equivalence, the main aim of the paper is to generalize the fundamental intertwining results commonly employed in the Elliott program for classifying C*-algebras. This reduces a given classification problem for C*-dynamics to the prevalence of certain uniqueness and existence theorems, and may provide a useful alternative to the Evans--Kishimoto intertwining argument in future research.

description: We introduce a non-Markovian model for electricity markets where the spot price of electricity is driven by several Gaussian Volterra processes, which can be e.g., fractional Brownian motions (fBms), Riemann-Liouville processes or Gaussian-Volterra driven Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. Since in energy markets the spot price is not a tradeable asset, due to the limited storage possibilities, forward contracts are considered as traded products. We ensure necessary and sufficient conditions for the absence of arbitrage that, in this kind of market, reflects the fact that the prices of the forward contracts are (Gaussian) martingales under a risk-neutral measure. Moreover, we characterize the market completeness in terms of the number of forward contracts simultaneously considered and of the kernels of the Gaussian-Volterra processes. We also provide a novel representation of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) processes driven by Gaussian Volterra processes. Also exploiting this result, we show analytically that, for some kinds of Gaussian-Volterra processes driving the spot prices, under conditions ensuring the absence of arbitrage, the market is complete. Finally, we formulate a portfolio optimization problem for an agent who invests in an electricity market, and we solve it explicitly in the case of CRRA utility functions. We also find closed formulas for the price of options written on forward contracts, together with the hedging strategy.
The Ruijsenaars-Schneider Model

description: We seek to clarify some of the physical aspects of the Ruijsenaars-Schneider models. This important class of models was presented as a relativistic generalisation of the Calogero-Moser models but, as we shall argue, this description is misleading. It is far better to simply view the models as a one-parameter generalisation of Calogero-Moser models. By viewing the models as describing certain eigenvalue motions we can appreciate the generic nature of the models.

Bose-Einstein condensates

description: The analogy between the propagation of a massless scalar field in curved spacetime and the propagation of sound waves in a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) gives rise to the possibility of observing the analogues of black hole radiance effects, such as Hawking Radiation and superradiance, in the laboratory. In order to provide a solid foundation for realising such analogue gravity models in an experimental setting, we have conducted a numerical investigation of phonon scattering from a BEC vortex by solving the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation, describing the dynamics of dilute gas BECs. The consideration of phonon superradiance in BECs in advance of Hawking Radiation is motivated by the fact superradiance may be easier to detect. ¶ We first present the results of one-dimensional simulations of sound waves propagating in a BEC and reflecting from a vortex-like density profile. Using these results as a guide, two-dimensional simulations of sound propagation in a BEC, and reflection from a BEC vortex, are performed. The technique of propagating the wavefunction in imaginary time was employed to find the vortex ground state. The accuracy of the simulations and the convergence of the solution to the vortex ground state was verified using a range of numerical diagnostics. Finally, preliminary simulations were performed within the superradiant frequency regime for the purposes of determining whether the amplification of incoming waves occurs given an appropriate choice of parameters. Overall, the two-dimensional modelling of reflection of cylindrical waves from a BEC vortex provides a basis for a systematic study of phonon superradiance in BECs.
title: Social Media Usage Among Elite Athletes: An exploration of athlete usage during major events
Creators: name: Hayes, Michelle
Publisher: name: Griffith University

Subjects: subject: Social media
subject: Athletes
subject: Gratification
subject: Distraction

description: Social media platforms have proliferated the sport industry. Social media is constantly evolving, with platforms being adopted by many sport stakeholders including sport governing bodies, leagues, teams, sporting events, fans, coaches, managers, and athletes. For athletes, social media have provided new avenues to share personal and professional news, manage their personal image and brand, and develop deeper interactions with fans. However, since the rise of social media, sport stakeholders have debated the extent of athlete social media use at major sport events. The purpose of this research was threefold: (1) to investigate why athletes use social media, the gratifications they receive, and the challenges they experience during a major sport event, (2) explore the elements of social media athletes perceive to be distracting, the practices they undertake to address distractions, and the support they receive from sport organisations, and (3) to examine how national sport organisations manage athlete social media use and their perceptions of social media as a distraction. To better understand athlete social media use during major sport events, three studies were conducted sequentially. Each study gathered qualitative data, allowing the researcher to delve deeper into the perceptions of athletes and sport administrators.

description: We introduce a method to construct large classes of MSF wavelets of the Hardy space H^2(\R) and symmetric MSF wavelets of L^2(\R), and discuss the classification of such sets. As application, we show that there are uncountably many wavelet sets of L^2(\R) and H^2(\R). We also enumerate all symmetric wavelets of L^2(\R) with at most three intervals in the positive axis as well as 3-interval wavelet sets of H^2(\R). Finally, we construct families of MSF wavelets of L^2(\R) whose Fourier transform does not vanish in any neighbourhood of the origin.

From Choosing to Responsibility - The Impact of the Sense of Control on Memory

Subjects: Social psychology

description: The perceived exercise of volitional control results in better recall, beyond the effects of preference and attention to the task. Greater perceived control resulted in increased memory both in explicit learning (Studies one, two, and three) and implicit learning (four and five). In Studies one through three we used word list materials and allowed participants either an illusion of choice, forced choice or no choice during learning. Study 1 showed that perceived choice resulted in greater memory compared to forced choice. Study 2 showed that compared to no choice baseline, forced choice resulted in decreased cued recall performance, while the choice condition was marginally greater. In Study 3 we replicated this effect, and with better statistical power found that choice produced significantly greater recall than control, and forced choice produced significantly diminished recall. Studies four and five employed a novel implicit memory paradigm, leading participants to believe that their actions had caused an outcome either before the action, after the action occurred, after the ostensible outcome, or no causality (Study 4), caused by either oneself or another student (Study 5). Memory for the "outcome" was greater when the perception of causality was induced before the outcome compared to both after outcome and no causality for both self and other as causal agents. Moreover, greater perceived causal involvement of either self or other increased the emotional response to the negative outcome. Our results are best understood in terms of increased motivational relevance, leading to greater accessibility and salience of events caused by an intentional agent.
