description: We consider atomic Fermi gases where Feshbach resonances can be used to continuously tune the system from weak to strong interaction regime, allowing to scan the whole BCS-BEC crossover. We show how a probing field transferring atoms out of the superfluid can be used to detect the onset of the superfluid transition in the high-$T_c$ and BCS regimes. The number of transferred atoms, as a function of the energy given by the probing field, peaks at the gap energy. The shape of the peak is asymmetric due to the single particle excitation gap. Since the excitation gap includes also a pseudogap contribution, the asymmetry alone is not a signature of superfluidity. Incoherent nature of the non-condensed pairs leads to broadening of the peak. The pseudogap and therefore the broadening decay below the critical temperature, causing a drastic increase in the asymmetry. This provides a signature of the transition.

Year: 2014

description: This study was sponsored by UBC SEEDS, Social Ecological Economic Development Studies, a program which aims to address sustainability challenges on campus such as which type of disposable cutlery is the most sustainable choice (SEEDS). In this report, a life cycle assessment was performed for one specific cutlery brand, Aspenware, a manufacturer of disposable and compostable wooden cutlery. The goal of this study is to help UBC and AMS food services determine cutlery consumption habits and impacts in order to make informed decisions when purchasing disposable cutlery. In this study, a full life cycle assessment will be presented for Aspenware, along with a comparison to traditional polystyrene plastic cutlery in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and economic costs. Aspenware will benefit from this study in determining the environmental impact of their products and areas for improvement. The study applies a life cycle assessment based on ISO 14044 standards. The functional unit of this analysis is per utensil, assuming single use, limited to services and events at the University of British Columbia. The results, data and methodology used in this report are incorporated into the Quantis SUITE 2.0 LCA software tool, using the database EcoInvent 2.2 (Quantis Intl). Overall, the production of 2.6 g plastic cutlery and 5 g plastic cutlery results in an approximate increase of 24% and 60% kg CO₂ emissions per piece of cutlery, respectively, when compared to Aspenware. Plastic cutlery is about 43% less expensive than Aspenware. The end-of-life impacts of Aspenware cutlery will have broader implications than simple reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. Plastic may not degrade for many years and this was not quantified in the report’s data (Cruise). Aspenware’s wooden cutlery composts in less than 49 days, making it a more viable option (Aspenware, 2013). Overall, it is recommended that Aspenware be purchased over plastic cutlery due to the reduced greenhouse gas emissions and its compostable nature which results in less space requirements for on campus composting.

description: It is known that geometrical optics no longer applies to the gravitational lensing if the wavelength of a propagating wave becomes comparable to or larger than the Schwarzshild radius of a lensing object. We investigate the propagation of gravitational waves in wave optics, particularly focusing on the difference between their arrival time and the arrival time of light. We argue that, contrary to the observation in the previous work, gravitational waves never arrive at an observer earlier than light when both gravitational waves and light are emitted from a same source simultaneously.

description: The rapid experimental progress in the field of superconducting nanocircuits gives rise to an increasing quest for advanced quantum-control techniques for these macroscopically coherent systems. Here we demonstrate theoretically that stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) should be possible with the quantronium setup of a Cooper-pair box. The scheme appears to be robust against decoherence and should be realizable even with the existing technology. As an application we present a method to generate single-phonon states of a nanomechnical resonator by vacuum-stimulated adiabatic passage with the superconducting nanocircuit coupled to the resonator.

description: We elaborate on previous results concerning the positivity of the Euclidean path integral measure for low-energy modes in dense fermionic matter. We show that the sign problem usually associated with fermions is absent if one considers only low-energy degrees of freedom. We describe a method for simulating dense QCD on the lattice and give a proof using rigorous inequalities that the color-flavor locked (CFL) phase is the true vacuum of three flavor, massless QCD. We also discuss applications to electronic systems in condensed matter, such as generalized Hubbard models.

Development of anisotropic orthopaedic medical devices
Creators: name: Pfaff, William
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Cartilaginous tissue is vital to the mechanical function of several joints throughout the body. However, its lack of vasculature and low cell population make it vulnerable to trauma and degeneration, often leading to pain, instability, and loss of joint function. Often, this requires surgical intervention leading to resection of damaged tissue, prosthetic implants, and arthroplasty. Tissue engineered devices hold the promise of preserving these joints while enabling long-term regeneration of the damaged tissue. In order to recreate the biomechanical functions of these complex tissues, however, these devices need to be anisotropic in design and mechanics. Our group has had success developing and designing composite devices consisting of an isotropic collagen sponge reinforced with an anisotropic polymer fiber network. This dissertation seeks to advance this technology by: [1] designing and testing the viscoelastic function of a 1st generation articular cartilage scaffold, [2] improving a 2nd generation design for an intervertebral disc scaffold using collagen films, [3] testing potential substrate materials for the MeniscoFix™, [4] translating and designing the lateral version of the MeniscoFix™, a medial meniscus device and [5] manufacturing and testing this device to determine its in situ biomechanical function. The results of these aims help progress the preclinical development of these devices, hopefully leading to clinical trials and eventual commercial availability.

description: An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus is ongoing from December 2019. As of July 22, 2020, it has caused an epidemic outbreak with more than 15 million confirmed infections and above 6 hundred thousand reported deaths worldwide. During this period of an epidemic when human-to-human transmission is established and reported cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are rising worldwide, investigation of control strategies and forecasting are necessary for health care planning. In this study, we propose and analyze a compartmental epidemic model of COVID-19 to predict and control the outbreak. The basic reproduction number and control reproduction number are calculated analytically. A detailed stability analysis of the model is performed to observe the dynamics of the system. We calibrated the proposed model to fit daily data from the United Kingdom (UK) where the situation is still alarming. Our findings suggest that independent self-sustaining human-to-human spread ($R_0>1$, $R_c>1$) is already present. Short-term predictions show that the decreasing trend of new COVID-19 cases is well captured by the model. Further, we found that effective management of quarantined individuals is more effective than management of isolated individuals to reduce the disease burden. Thus, if limited resources are available, then investing on the quarantined individuals will be more fruitful in terms of reduction of cases.

description: Given a Bratteli diagram D we consider the compact topological space formed by all infinite paths on D. Two such path are said to be tail-equivalent when they "have the same tail", i.e. when they eventually coincide. This equivalence relation is approximately proper and hence one may consider the C*-algebra associated to it according to a procedure recently introduced by the first named author and A. Lopes. The main result of this work is the proof that this algebra is isomorphic to the AF-algebra associated to the given Bratteli diagram.

description: Machine Learning (ML) models are very effective in many learning tasks, due to the capability to extract meaningful information from large data sets. Nevertheless, there are learning problems that cannot be easily solved relying on pure data, e.g. scarce data or very complex functions to be approximated. Fortunately, in many contexts domain knowledge is explicitly available and can be used to train better ML models. This paper studies the improvements that can be obtained by integrating prior knowledge when dealing with a non-trivial learning task, namely precision tuning of transprecision computing applications. The domain information is injected in the ML models in different ways: I) additional features, II) ad-hoc graph-based network topology, III) regularization schemes. The results clearly show that ML models exploiting problem-specific information outperform the purely data-driven ones, with an average accuracy improvement around 38%.

40Ar/39Ar geochronology of the Lothagam Basalt, Turkana Depression, Kenya
Creators: name: Rowan, Christian Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: The fossil-bearing site of Lothagam is an isolated outcrop of gently dipping strata located west of present-day Lake Turkana, Kenya. Its late Miocene to Pliocene vertebrate fossil record has been a key focus of past and ongoing paleontological studies. Placing the fossils and sediments in a correct chronostratigraphic framework is critical to determine rates of evolutionary and tectonic processes, as our knowledge rests upon the chronology of dated tuffs and basalts. An important stratigraphic marker overlying the fossil localities, the Lothagam Basalt, is dated at 4.24 ± 0.03 Ma using 40Ar/39Ar geochronology. However, available paleomagnetic, geochemical ,seismic reflection, and petrological data suggest the Lothagam Basalt likely represents basin-wide flood basalts known as the Gombe Group erupted ~ 4 Ma. Conflicting data aside, the suspected presence of excess argon in the samples calls into question the basalt's age. Here I reanalyze the Lothagam Basalt using 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, yielding a weighted mean age of 3.84 ± 0.04 Ma. At the time of deposition of the Lothagam Basalt, the Kerio and southern Turkana basin formed an integrated basin before the formation of the Lothagam fault. The 60 m of lacustrine strata above the basalt suggest the continuation of the Lonuyumn Lake facies in the southern parts of the depression. At the same time, a fluvial system, the Moiti Floodplain, occupied the Turkana basin to the north.

description: In this review article we will describe recent developments in statistical theory of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. Kraichnan and Iroshnikov first proposed a phenomenology of MHD turbulence where Alfven time-scale dominates the dynamics, and the energy spectrum E(k) is proportional to k^{-3/2}. In the last decade, many numerical simulations show that spectral index is closer to 5/3, which is Kolmogorov's index for fluid turbulence. We review recent theoretical results based on anisotropy and Renormalization Groups which support Kolmogorov's scaling for MHD turbulence. Energy transfer among Fourier modes, energy flux, and shell-to-shell energy transfers are important quantities in MHD turbulence. We report recent numerical and field-theoretic results in this area. Role of these quantities in magnetic field amplification (dynamo) are also discussed. There are new insights into the role of magnetic helicity in turbulence evolution. Recent interesting results in intermittency, large-eddy simulations, and shell models of magnetohydrodynamics are also covered.

Digital Twin-based Anomaly Detection in Cyber-physical Systems

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are susceptible to various anomalies during their operations. Thus, it is important to detect such anomalies. Detecting such anomalies is challenging since it is uncertain when and where anomalies can happen. To this end, we present a novel approach called Anomaly deTection with digiTAl twIN (ATTAIN), which continuously and automatically builds a digital twin with live data obtained from a CPS for anomaly detection. ATTAIN builds a Timed Automaton Machine (TAM) as the digital representation of the CPS, and implements a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to detect anomalies. GAN uses a GCN-LSTM-based module as a generator, which can capture temporal and spatial characteristics of the input data and learn to produce realistic unlabeled adversarial samples. TAM labels these adversarial samples, which are then fed into a discriminator along with real labeled samples. After training, the discriminator is capable of distinguishing anomalous data from normal data with a high F1 score. To evaluate our approach, we used three publicly available datasets collected from three CPS testbeds. Evaluation results show that ATTAIN improved the performance of two state-of-art anomaly detection methods by 2.413%, 8.487%, and 5.438% on average on the three datasets, respectively. Moreover, ATTAIN achieved on average 8.39% increase in the anomaly detection capability with digital twins as compared with an approach of not using digital twins.

description: We perform three tests on our proposal to implement diffeomorphism invariance in the non-abelian D0-brane DBI action as a basepoint independence constraint between matrix Riemann normal coordinate systems. First we show that T-duality along an isometry correctly interchanges the potential and kinetic terms in the action. Second, we show that the method to impose basepoint independence using an auxiliary dN^2-dimensional non-linear sigma model also works for metrics which are curved along the brane, provided a physical gauge choice is made at the end. Third, we show that without alteration this method is applicable to higher order in velocities. Testing specifically to order four, we elucidate the range of validity of the symmetrized trace approximation to the non-abelian DBI action.

description: The totally asymmetric simple exclusion process in discrete time is considered on finite rings with fixed number of particles. A translation-invariant version of the backward-ordered sequential update is defined for periodic boundary conditions. We prove that the so defined update leads to a stationary state in which all possible particle configurations have equal probabilities. Using the exact analytical expression for the propagator, we find the generating function for the conditional probabilities, average velocity and diffusion constant at all stages of evolution. An exact and explicit expression for the stationary velocity of TASEP on rings of arbitrary size and particle filling is derived. The evolution of small systems towards a steady state is clearly demonstrated. Considering the generating function as a partition function of a thermodynamic system, we study its zeros in planes of complex fugacities. At long enough times, the patterns of zeroes for rings with increasing size provide evidence for a transition of the associated two-dimensional lattice paths model into a clustered phase at low fugacities.

description: The Unruh effect is the phenomenon that accelerated observers detect particles even when inertial observers experience the vacuum state. In particular, uniformly accelerated observers are predicted to measure thermal radiation that is proportional to the acceleration. Here we consider the Unruh effect for a detector that follows a quantum superposition of different accelerated trajectories in Minkowski spacetime. More precisely, we analyse the excitations of a pointlike multilevel particle detector coupled to a massless real scalar field and moving in the superposition of accelerated trajectories. We find that the state of the detector excitations is, in general, not a mere (convex) mixture of the thermal spectrum characteristics of the Unruh effect for each trajectory with well-defined acceleration separately. Rather, for certain trajectories and excitation levels, and upon the measurement of the trajectory state, the state of the detector excitations features in addition off-diagonal terms. The off-diagonal terms of these "superpositions of thermal states" are related to the distinguishability of the different possible states in which the field is left after its interaction with detector's internal degrees of the freedom.

Another specimen from the Burman herbarium represents possible original material of Guilandina moringa, namely Burman 18 (G-PREL [G00818136]), which represents original material of the pre-Linnaean “Moringa zeylanica Burm. ” published in Thes. Zeyl.: 162, tab. 75. 1736. The Burman publication was cited by Linnaeus in 1753 and Burman 18 was designated as the lectotype by VIDAL (1962: 5), but rejected by the LINNAEAN PLANT NAME TYPIFICATION PROJECT (2016), indicating “… this would not have been studied by Linnaeus and is not original material”. The correct lectotype, which Linnaeus definitely saw, was designated by KERAUDREN & GILLETT (1963: 317): Hermann 2: 24, n° 155 [BM000594587].

description: AS SPECULATIVE ARCHITECTURAL drawings approach greater levels of abstraction, the question arises as to how (or even if) they might actually contribute to the professional practice of ‘buildable’ architecture. In this article, I reflect on this important contemporary issue by looking at one of Perry Kulper’s speculative drawings for the 2000 Central California History Museum competition (CCHMC), as well as speculative architectural drawings by postgraduates in my ‘Narrative Architecture’ master’s thesis stream at Wellington School of Architecture, Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington (VUW).

description: Deep 21-cm HI line observations of the Virgo cluster spiral galaxy NGC 4569 have been obtained with the VLA in its D configuration and with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope. A low surface density arm was discovered in the west of the galaxy, whose velocity field is distinct from that of the overall disk rotation. The observed gas distribution, velocity field, and velocity dispersion are compared to snapshots of dynamical simulations that include the effects of ram pressure. Two different scenarios were explored: (i) ongoing stripping and (ii) a major stripping event that took place about 300 Myr ago. It is concluded that only the post-stripping scenario can reproduce the main observed characteristics of NGC 4569. It is not possible to determine if the gas disk of NGC 4569 had already been truncated before it underwent the ram pressure event that lead to its observed HI deficiency.

description: Context. HD13724 is a nearby solar-type star at 43.48 $\pm$ 0.06 pc hosting a long-period low-mass brown dwarf detected with the CORALIE echelle spectrograph as part of the historical CORALIE radial-velocity search for extra-solar planets. The companion has a minimum mass of $26.77^{+4.4}_{-2.2} M_{\mathrm{Jup}}$ and an expected semi-major axis of $\sim$ 240 mas making it a suitable target for further characterisation with high-contrast imaging, in particular to measure its inclination, mass, and spectrum and thus establish its substellar nature. Aims. Using high-contrast imaging with the SPHERE instrument on the Very Large Telescope (VLT), we are able to directly image a brown dwarf companion to HD13724 and obtain a low-resolution spectrum. Methods. We combine the radial-velocity measurements of CORALIE and HARPS taken over two decades and high contrast imaging from SPHERE to obtain a dynamical mass estimate. From the SPHERE data we obtain a low resolution spectrum of the companion from Y to J band, as well as photometric measurements from IRDIS in the J, H and K bands. Results. Using high-contrast imaging with the SPHERE instrument at the VLT, we report the first images of a brown dwarf companion to the host star HD13724. It has an angular separation of 175.6 $\pm$ 4.5 mas and H-band contrast of $10.61\pm0.16$ mag and, using the age estimate of the star to be $\sim$1 Gyr, gives an isochronal mass estimate of $\sim$44 $M_{\mathrm{Jup}}$. By combining radial-velocity and imaging data we also obtain a dynamical mass of $50.5^{+3.3}_{-3.5} M_{\mathrm{Jup}}$. Through fitting an atmospheric model, we estimate a surface gravity of $\log g = 5.5$ and an effective temperature of 1000K. A comparison of its spectrum with observed T dwarfs estimates a spectral type of T4 or T4.5, with a T4 object providing the best fit.

Investigation of the potential for DDC lighting control retrofits at UBC : a technical viability and economic analysis
Creators: name: Luk, Andrea
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This research paper investigates feasibility of implementing Direct Digital Controls in lighting systems of existing UBC buildings as a means to reduce energy consumption and Greenhouse Gas emissions. Through in person, phone interviews, email correspondence and online research, information was gathered to evaluate the suitability of five specific DDC lighting controls solutions. Two companies were found to be ideal candidates and a break even feasibility analysis was performed for one of the companies. The financial analysis identified strategies to reduce electricity consumption and laboratories as a good candidate for energy savings. It appears that DDC controls are worth further investigation and given the lack of retrofit costs provided, more information should be gathered as explained in this report.

Langevin theory of absorbing phase transitions with a conserved magnitude

description: The recently proposed Langevin equation, aimed to capture the relevant critical features of stochastic sandpiles, and other self-organizing systems is studied numerically. This equation is similar to the Reggeon field theory, describing generic systems with absorbing states, but it is coupled linearly to a second conserved and static (non-diffusive) field. It has been claimed to represent a new universality class, including different discrete models: the Manna as well as other sandpiles, reaction-diffusion systems, etc. In order to integrate the equation, and surpass the difficulties associated with its singular noise, we follow a numerical technique introduced by Dickman. Our results coincide remarkably well with those of discrete models claimed to belong to this universality class, in one, two, and three dimensions. This provides a strong backing for the Langevin theory of stochastic sandpiles, and to the very existence of this new, yet meagerly understood, universality class.

Massive core/star formation triggered by cloud-cloud collision: Effect of magnetic field

description: We study effect of magnetic field on massive dense core formation in colliding unequal molecular clouds by performing magnetohydrodynamic simulations with sub-parsec resolution (0.015 pc) that can resolve the molecular cores. Initial clouds with the typical gas density of the molecular clouds are immersed in various uniform magnetic fields. The turbulent magnetic fields in the clouds consistent with the observation by Crutcher et al. (2010) are generated by the internal turbulent gas motion before the collision, if the uniform magnetic field strength is 4.0 $μ$G. The collision speed of 10 km s$^{-1}$ is adopted, which is much larger than the sound speeds and the Alfvén speeds of the clouds. We identify gas clumps with gas densities greater than 5 $\times$ 10$^{-20}$ g cm$^{-3}$ as the dense cores and trace them throughout the simulations to investigate their mass evolution and gravitational boundness. We show that a greater number of massive, gravitationally bound cores are formed in the strong magnetic field (4.0 $μ$G) models than the weak magnetic field (0.1 $μ$G) models. This is partly because the strong magnetic field suppresses the spatial shifts of the shocked layer that should be caused by the nonlinear thin shell instability. The spatial shifts promote formation of low-mass dense cores in the weak magnetic field models. The strong magnetic fields also support low-mass dense cores against gravitational collapse. We show that the numbers of massive, gravitationally bound cores formed in the strong magnetic field models are much larger than the isolated, non-colliding cloud models, which are simulated for comparison. We discuss the implications of our numerical results on massive star formation.

description: Recently, there has been an increased awareness of the one-sided nature of many econometric testing problems. For testing Ho : 0 = 0 against H a : 0 * 0 where 0 is px1, SenGupta and Vermeire (1986) introduced the class of locally most mean powerful (LMMP) unbiased tests. They are constructed to maximize the mean curvature of the power hypersurface in the neighbourhood of 0 = 0. Our interest is in testing H 0 against H a : 0 1 0, ..., 0 0 with at least one strict inequality. We show how LMMP critical regions can be constructed and note that they suggest a new form for the Lagrange multiplier test in one-sided testing problems. Applications considered in the context of the linear regression model include joint one-sided testing for non-zero regression coefficients, autoregressive disturbances, heteroscedastic disturbances, random regression coefficients and variance components.

description: We study and generalize the momentum operator satisfying the extended uncertainty principle relation (EUP). This generalized extended momentum operator (GEMO) consists of an arbitrary auxiliary function of position operator, $μ\left( x\right) $, in such a combination that not only GEMO satisfies the EUP relation but also it is Hermitian. Next, we apply the GEMO to construct the generalized one-dimensional Schrödinger equation. Upon using the so called point canonical transformation (PCT), we transform the generalized Schrödinger equation from $x$-space to $z$-space where in terms of the transformed coordinate, $z$, it is of the standard form of the Schrödinger equation. In continuation, we study two illustrative examples and solve the corresponding equations analytically to find the energy spectrum.
