Relative susceptibility of interior spruce (Picea glauca x engelmannii engelm.) and lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. var. latifolia engelm.) to Inonotus tomentosus (Fr.) Teng in central British Columbia
Creators: name: Schulting, Peter John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Twenty sample plots located in Inonotus tomentosus (Fr.) Teng centers in mixed lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. var. latifolia Engelm.) and interior spruce (Picea glauca x engelmannii Engelm.) stands in central British Columbia were studied to investigate the behaviour of, and variation in host species attacked by the pathogen. The effect of infection on the radial increment of spruce and pine was studied by measuring increment bores. Characteristics of the fungus in culture were studied using isolates obtained from each of the study plots. In some cases, the fungus was found to behave differently on spruce and pine. In pine, advanced necrosis of the cambium and phloem of the roots caused crown thinning and eventual standing mortality. In spruce, decay of the heartwood and inner xylem of the roots caused windfall of the tree, often before expression of noticeable crown symptoms. In both host species studied, spread was commonly observed from infected to healthy, contacting roots. Possible cases of spore inoculation through root wounds were also found. In all plots, pine showed a higher infection level than spruce. Subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa (Hook.) Nutt.) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuqa menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) present within the plots were not found to be infected. Infection by I. tomentosus was not found to reduce significantly the basal area increment in pine or spruce. The fungus in culture demonstrated a large amount of variation in growth rate, mycelium color and mat color and texture. Such variation occurred both within and among isolates, and could not be related to the host species from which the isolate was obtained.

description: Perhaps the most controversial questions in the study of online platforms today surround the extent to which platforms can intervene to reduce the societal ills perpetrated on them. Up for debate is whether there exist any effective and lasting interventions a platform can adopt to address, e.g., online bullying, or if other, more far-reaching change is necessary to address such problems. Empirical work is critical to addressing such questions. But it is also challenging, because it is time-consuming, expensive, and sometimes limited to the questions companies are willing to ask. To help focus and inform this empirical work, we here propose an agent-based modeling (ABM) approach. As an application, we analyze the impact of a set of interventions on a simulated online dating platform on the lack of long-term interracial relationships in an artificial society. In the real world, a lack of interracial relationships are a critical vehicle through which inequality is maintained. Our work shows that many previously hypothesized interventions online dating platforms could take to increase the number of interracial relationships from their website have limited effects, and that the effectiveness of any intervention is subject to assumptions about sociocultural structure. Further, interventions that are effective in increasing diversity in long-term relationships are at odds with platforms' profit-oriented goals. At a general level, the present work shows the value of using an ABM approach to help understand the potential effects and side effects of different interventions that a platform could take.

description: The 3+1 GRMHD equations for Schwarzschild spacetime in Rindler coordinates with isothermal state of plasma are formulated. We consider the cases of non-rotating and rotating backgrounds with non-magnetized and magnetized plasmas. For these cases, the perturbed form of these equations are linearized and Fourier analyzed by introducing plane wave type solutions. The determinant of these equations in each case leads to two dispersion relations which give value of the wave number $k$. Using the wave number, we obtain information like phase and group velocities etc. which help to discuss the nature of the waves and their characteristics. These provide interesting information about the black hole magnetosphere near the horizon. There are cases of normal and anomalous dispersion. We find a case of normal dispersion of waves when the plasma admits the properties of Veselago medium. Our results agree with those of Mackay et al. according to which rotation of a black hole is required for negative phase velocity propagation.

Content: Audio and image files used for the soundscapes adopted during evaluation Questionnaires (anonymised) compiled during evaluation Abstract: PlugSonic is a suite of web- and mobile-based applications for the curation and experienceof 3D interactive soundscapes and sonic narratives in the cultural heritage context. It was developedas part of the PLUGGY EU project (Pluggable Social Platform for Heritage Awareness and Partici-pation) and consists of two main applications: PlugSonic Sample, to edit and apply audio effects,and PlugSonic Soundscape, to create and experience 3D soundscapes for headphones playback. Theaudio processing within PlugSonic is based on the Web Audio API and the 3D Tune-In Toolkit, whilethe mobile exploration of soundscapes in a physical space is obtained using Apple’s ARKit. The maingoal of PlugSonic is technology democratisation; PlugSonic users—whether cultural institutions orcitizens—are all given the instruments needed to create, process and experience 3D soundscapes andsonic narratives; without the need for specific devices, external tools (software and/or hardware),specialised knowledge or custom development. The aims of this paper are to present the design anddevelopment choices, the user involvement processes as well as a final evaluation conducted withinexperienced users on three tasks (creation, curation and experience), demonstrating how PlugSonicis indeed a simple, effective, yet powerful tool.

description: We study the spectrum of the staggered Dirac operator in SU(2) gauge fields close to the free limit, for both the fundamental and the adjoint representation. Numerically we find a characteristic cluster structure with spacings of adjacent levels separating into three scales. We derive an analytical formula which explains the emergence of these different spectral scales. The behavior on the two coarser scales is determined by the lattice geometry and the Polyakov loops, respectively. Furthermore, we analyze the spectral statistics on all three scales, comparing to predictions from random matrix theory.

description: We derive the planar large N non-supersymmetric background of the quantum mechanical hamiltonian of two hermitean matrices coupled via a Yang-Mills interaction, in terms of the density of eigenvalues of one of the matrices. This background satisfies an implicit non linear integral equation, with a perturbative small coupling expansion and a solvable large coupling solution, which is obtained. The energy of system and the expectation value of several correlators are obtained in this strong coupling limit. They are free of infrared divergences.

description: According to Two-Time Physics, there is more to space-time than can be garnered with the ordinary formulation of physics. Two-Time Physics has shown that the Standard Model of Particles and Forces is successfully reproduced by a two-time field theory in 4 space and 2 time dimensions projected as a holographic image on an emergent spacetime in 3+1 dimensions. Among the successes of this approach is the resolution of the strong CP problem of QCD as an outcome of the restrictions imposed by the higher symmetry structures in 4+2 dimensions. In this paper we launch a program to construct the duals of the Standard Model as other holographic images of the same 4+2 dimensional theory on a variety of emergent spacetimes in 3+1 dimensions. These dual field theories are obtained as a family of gauge choices in the master 4+2 field theory. In the present paper we deal with some of the simpler gauge choices which lead to interacting Klein-Gordon field theories for the conformal scalar with a predicted SO(d,2) symmetry in a variety of interesting curved spacetimes in (d-1)+1 dimensions. More challenging and more interesting gauge choices (including some that relate to mass) which are left to future work are also outlined. Through this approach we discover a new realm of previously unexplored dualities and hidden symmetries that exist both in the macroscopic and microscopic worlds, at the classical and quantum levels. Such phenomena predicted by 2T-physics can in principle be confirmed both by theory and experiment. 1T-physics can be used to analyze the predictions but in most instances gives no clue that the predicted phenomena exist in the first place. This point of view suggests a new paradigm for the construction of a fundamental theory that is likely to impact on the quest for unification.

description: In a previous paper, referred to as a "Mini-Landscape" search, we explored a "fertile patch" of the heterotic landscape based on a Z6-II orbifold with SO(10) and E6 local GUT structures. In the present paper we extend this analysis. We find many models with the minimal supersymmetric standard model spectra and an exact R parity. In all of these models, the vector-like exotics decouple along D flat directions. We present two "benchmark" models which satisfy many of the constraints of a realistic supersymmetric model, including non-trivial Yukawa matrices for 3 families of quarks and leptons and Majorana neutrino masses for right-handed neutrinos with non-trivial See-Saw masses for the 3 light neutrinos. In an appendix we comment on the important issue of string selection rules and in particular the so-called "gamma-rule".

description: Aims: We explore the relation between charge state of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and extinction curve morphology. Methods: We fit extinction curves with a dust model including core-mantle spherical particles of mixed chemical composition (silicate core, $sp^2$ and $sp^3$ carbonaceous layers), and an additional molecular component. We use exact methods to calculate the extinction due to classical particles and accurate computed absorption spectra of PAHs in different charge states, for the contribution due to the molecular component, along a sample of five rather different lines of sight. Results: A combination of classical dust particles and mixtures of real PAHs satisfactorily matches the observed interstellar extinction curves. Variations of the spectral properties of PAHs in different charge states produce changes consistent with the varying relative strengths of the bump and non-linear far-UV rise.

description: Increasing miniaturization and complexity of nanostructures require innovative metrology solutions with high throughput that can assess complex 3D structures in a non-destructive manner. EUV scatterometry is investigated for the characterization of nanostructured surfaces. The reconstruction is based on a rigorous simulation using a Maxwell solver based on finite-elements and is statistically validated with a Markov-Chain Monte Carlo sampling method. Here it is shown that this method is suitable for the dimensional characterization of the nanostructures and the investigation of oxide or contamination layers. In comparison to grazing-incidence small-angle X-rayscattering (GISAXS) EUV allows to probe smaller areas. The influence of the divergence on the diffracted intensities in EUV is much lower than in GISAXS, which also reduces the computational effort of the reconstruction.

description: This work designs an image restoration deep network relying on unfolded Chambolle-Pock primal-dual iterations. Each layer of our network is built from Chambolle-Pock iterations when specified for minimizing a sum of a $\ell_2$-norm data-term and an analysis sparse prior. The parameters of our network are the step-sizes of the Chambolle-Pock scheme and the linear operator involved in sparsity-based penalization, including implicitly the regularization parameter. A backpropagation procedure is fully described. Preliminary experiments illustrate the good behavior of such a deep primal-dual network in the context of image restoration on BSD68 database.

description: We show that the rank reduction of the gauge group on orientifolds in presence of non vanishing discrete Kalb-Ramond field can be explained by the presence of an induced field strength in a non trivial bundle on the branes. This field strength is also necessary for the tadpole cancellation and the number of branes is left unchanged by the presence of the discrete Kalb-Ramond background.

Atmospheric dynamics of Pegasi planets

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present three-dimensional numerical simulations of the atmospheric dynamics of close-orbiting planets such as HD209458b. Our simulations show that winds of several km/sec and day-night temperature differences reaching 500-1000 K are possible at and above the photosphere. The circulation takes the form of a broad superrotating (eastward) equatorial jet. At 0.1-1 bar, the superrotation blows the hottest regions of the atmosphere downwind by 60 degrees of longitude, but at lower pressures the temperature pattern tracks the stellar illumination. We predict factors of several variation in the infrared flux received at Earth throughout an orbital cycle; if the photosphere is deep enough (>50-100 mbar pressure), the peak infrared emission should lead the time of secondary eclipse by 10 hours or more. Dynamics plays a key role in shaping the spectrum, clouds, chemistry, and long-term planetary evolution.

description: We present a continuous-wave, 810 nm laser with watt-level powers. Our system is based on difference-frequency generation of 532 nm and 1550 nm fiber lasers in a single pass through periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). We measure the broadband spectral noise and residual intensity noise to be compatible with off-resonant dipole trapping of ultracold atoms. Given the large bandwidth of the fiber amplifiers, the output can be optimized for a range of wavelengths, including the strontium clock-magic wavelength of 813 nm. Furthermore, with the exploration of more appropriate nonlinear crystals, we believe there is a path toward scaling this proof-of-principle design to many watts of power, and that this approach could provide a robust, rack-mountable trapping-laser for future use in strontium-based optical clocks.

Adopting a Gaussian broadening of magnetic-field-dependent width in the density of states, we present explicit and simple expressions for the magnetocapacitance, valid for the relevant weak magnetic fields and modulation strengths. As the modulation strength in both directions increase, beats of the magnetocapacitance oscillations are observed, in the low magnetic field range (Weiss-oscillations regime), which are absent in the one-dimensional weak modulation case.

Waste vegetable oil as a diesel fuel extender
Creators: name: Lague, Christian M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The possibility of using waste vegetable oil from deep-frying processes as a fuel for long term use in diesel engines was investigated. Research was aimed at using existing technology in terms of engine design in order to utilize a maximum amount of waste vegetable oil as the energy source with a minimum of processing. A small swirl-chamber diesel engine was selected and used to run the 200-hour test recommended by the EMA for testing vegetable oil-based fuels. A blend of 20/80 (waste oil/diesel fuel) was tested as well as a 50/50 blend. BSFC data for both blends did not indicate any significant deterioration in engine performance during the 200 hour tests for ail the fuels tested. However, the 50/50 blend BSFC data had more spread than the data from the 20/80 or the diesel baseline test. This was attributed to variable amounts of deposits on the injector nozzle throughout this test Carbon deposits on all other parts of the combustion chamber were comparable for all the fuels tested. Wear of the engine parts was also comparable except for the piston rings. Piston ring wear was greater with diesel fuel and smaller when burning the 50/50 blend. This was attributed to a film of unburned fuel on the cylinder wall that improved lubrication. Lower -lubricating oil consumption was also attributed to this film. The alternate fuel blends completed the 200 hour EMA screening test and could be considered as possible candidates for long-term use in I.D.I, engines.

description: Knowledge of the night sky radiance over a large territory may be valuable informationto identify sites appropriate to astronomical observations or for assessing the impacts ofartificial light at night on ecosystems. Measuring the sky radiance can be a complex endeavourdepending on the desired temporal and spatial resolution. Similarly, modelling of artificialnight sky radiance for multiple points of a territory can represent a significant amount ofcomputing time depending on the complexity of the model used. The use of the convolutionof a point spread function with the light sources geographical distribution has been suggestedin order to model the sky radiance over large territories of hundreds of kilometres in size.We determine how the point spread function is sensitive to the main driving parameters ofthe artificial night sky radiance such as the wavelength, the ground reflectance, the obstaclesproperties, the Upward Light Output Ratio and the Aerosol Optical Depth using the Illuminav2 model. The obtained functions were used to model the artificial night sky brightness ofthe Mont-Mégantic International Dark Sky Reserve for winter and summer conditions. Theresults were compared to the New world atlas of artificial night sky brightness, the Illuminav2 model and in situ Sky Quality Camera measurements. We found that the New world atlasoverestimates the artificial sky brightness by 55% whereas the Illumina model underestimatesit by 48%. This may be due to varying atmospherical conditions and the fact that the modelonly accounts for public light sources.

description: We explore a mechanism of radiative B-L symmetry breaking in analogous to the radiative electroweak symmetry breaking. The breaking scale of B-L symmetry is related to the neutrino masses through the see-saw mechanism. Once we incorporate the U(1)_{B-L} gauge symmetry in SUSY models, the U(1)_{B-L} gaugino appears, and it can mediate the SUSY breaking (Z-prime mediated SUSY breaking) at around the scale of 10^6 GeV. Then we find a links between the neutrino mass (more precisly the see-saw or B-L scale of order 10^{6} GeV) and the Z-prime mediated SUSY breaking scale. It is also very interesting that the gluino at the weak scale becomes relatively light, and almost compressed mass spectra for the gaugino sector can be realized in this scenario, which is very interesting in scope of the LHC.

description: Collisions of light and heavy nuclei in relativistic heavy-ion collisions have been shown to be sensitive to nuclear structure. With a proposed $^{16}\mathrm{O}^{16}\mathrm{O}$ run at the LHC and RHIC we study the potential for finding $α$ clustering in $^{16}$O. Here we use the state-of-the-art iEBE-VISHNU package with $^{16}$O nucleonic configurations from {\rm ab initio} nuclear lattice simulations. This setup was tuned using a Bayesian analysis on pPb and PbPb systems. We find that the $^{16}\mathrm{O}^{16}\mathrm{O}$ system always begins far from equilibrium and that at LHC and RHIC it approaches the regime of hydrodynamic applicability only at very late times. Finally, by taking ratios of flow harmonics we are able to find measurable differences between $α$-clustering, nucleonic, and subnucleonic degrees of freedom in the initial state.

description: Topological defects in active liquid crystals can be confined by introducing gradients of activity. Here, we examine the dynamical behavior of two defects confined by a sharp gradient of activity that separates an active circular region and a surrounding passive nematic material. Continuum simulations are used to explain how the interplay among energy injection into the system, hydrodynamic interactions, and frictional forces governs the dynamics of topologically required self-propelling $+1/2$ defects. Our findings are rationalized in terms of a phase diagram for the dynamical response of defects in terms of activity and frictional damping strength. Different regions of the underlying phase diagram correspond to distinct dynamical modes, namely immobile defects (ID), steady rotation of defects (SR), bouncing defects (TB), bouncing-cruising defects (BC), dancing defects (DA), and multiple defects with irregular dynamics (MD). These dynamic states raise the prospect of generating synchronized defect arrays for microfluidic applications.

description: The paper considers scheduling on parallel machines under the constraint that some pairs of jobs cannot be processed concurrently. Each job has an associated weight, and all jobs have the same deadline. The objective is to maximise the total weight of on-time jobs. The problem is known to be strongly NP-hard in general. A polynomial-time algorithm for scheduling unit execution time jobs on two machines is proposed. The performance of a broad family of approximation algorithms for scheduling unit execution time jobs on more than two machines is analysed. For the case of arbitrary job processing times, two integer linear programming formulations are proposed and compared with two formulations known from the earlier literature. An iterated variable neighborhood search algorithm is also proposed and evaluated by means of computational experiments.

description: By performing two parallel numerical experiments -- solving the dynamical Hamiltonian equations and solving the Hasselmann kinetic equation -- we examined the applicability of the theory of weak turbulence to the description of the time evolution of an ensemble of free surface waves (a swell) on deep water. We observed qualitative coincidence of the results. To achieve quantitative coincidence, we augmented the kinetic equation by an empirical dissipation term modelling the strongly nonlinear process of white-capping. Fitting the two experiments, we determined the dissipation function due to wave breaking and found that it depends very sharply on the parameter of nonlinearity (the surface steepness). The onset of white-capping can be compared to a second-order phase transition. This result corroborates with experimental observations by Banner, Babanin, Young.

description: The majority of fatalities and traumatic injuries in heavy industries involve mobile plant and vehicles, often resulting from a lapse of attention or communication. Existing approaches to hazard identification include the use of human spotters, passive reversing cameras, non-differentiating proximity sensors and tag based systems. These approaches either suffer from problems of worker attention or require the use of additional devices on all workers and obstacles. Whilst computer vision detection systems have previously been deployed in structured applications such as manufacturing and on-road vehicles, there does not yet exist a robust and portable solution for use in unstructured environments like construction that effectively communicates risks to relevant workers. To address these limitations, our solution, the Toolbox Spotter (TBS), acts to improve worker safety and reduce preventable incidents by employing an embedded robotic perception and distributed HMI alert system to augment both detection and communication of hazards in safety critical environments. In this paper we outline the TBS safety system and evaluate its performance based on data from real world implementations, demonstrating the suitability of the Toolbox Spotter for applications in heavy industries.

The Inner Jet of the Radio Galaxy M87

description: We report new 2 cm VLBA images of the inner radio jet of M87 showing a limb brightened structure and unambiguous evidence for a faint 3 mas long counter-feature which also appears limb brightened. Multi-epoch observations of seven separate jet features show typical speeds of less than a few percent of the speed of light, despite the highly asymmetric jet structure and the implications of the canonical relativistic beaming scenario. The observed morphology is consistent with a two stream spine-sheath velocity gradient across the jet, as might be expected from the recently discovered strong and variable TeV emission as well as from numerical modeling of relativistic jets. Considering the large jet to counter-jet flux density ratio and lack of observed fast motion in the jet, we conclude that either the inner part of the M87 jet is intrinsically asymmetric or that the bulk plasma flow speed is much greater than any propagation of shocks or other pattern motions.

description: We use the tridiagonal representation approach to solve the radial Schrödinger equation for an inverse power-law potential of a combined quartic and sextic degrees and for all angular momenta. The amplitude of the quartic singularity is larger than that of the sextic but the signs are negative and positive, respectively. It turns out that the system has a finite number of bound states, which is determined by the larger ratio of the two singularity amplitudes. The solution is written as a finite series of square integrable functions written in terms of the Bessel polynomial.

description: The fully three dimensional governing equations in the electron magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) regime for a plasma with inhomogeneous density is obtained. These equations in the two dimensional (2-D) limit can be cast in terms of the evolution of two coupled scalar fields. The nonlinear simulations for the two dimensional case are carried out to understand the propagation of EMHD magnetic structures in the presence of inhomogeneity. A novel effect related to trapping of dipolar magnetic structures in the high density plasma region in the EMHD regime is observed. The interpretation of this phenomena as well as its relevance to the problem of hot spot generation in the context of fast ignition is presented.

description: After 15 years, in late 2018, the magnetar XTE J1810-197 underwent a second recorded X-ray outburst event and reactivated as a radio pulsar. We initiated an X-ray monitoring campaign to follow the timing and spectral evolution of the magnetar as its flux decays using Swift, XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and NICER observations. During the year-long campaign, the magnetar reproduced similar behaviour to that found for the first outburst, with a factor of two change in its spin-down rate from $\sim7.2\times10^{-12}$ s s$^{-1}$ to $\sim1.5\times10^{-11}$ s s$^{-1}$ after two months. Unique to this outburst, we confirm the peculiar energy-dependent phase shift of the pulse profile. Following the initial outburst, the spectrum of XTE J1810-197 is well-modelled by multiple blackbody components corresponding to a pair of non-concentric, hot thermal caps surrounded by a cooler one, superposed to the colder star surface. We model the energy-dependent pulse profile to constrain the viewing and surface emission geometry and find that the overall geometry of XTE J1810-197 has likely evolved relative to that found for the 2003 event.
