Assessment and recommendations: Spray River restoration

description: Bibliography: p. 97-103
description: This Master's Degree project focuses on the assessment of the ecological integrity of the Spray River in Banff National Park, and provides recommendations for the future study and management of the aquatic resources in the Spray River. The purpose of this project was to assess the current state of the fish population and its related ecosystem in the Spray River below Canyon Dam and to recommend management actions to improve fish habitat, within the context of ecological integrity. To assess the native fish habitat restoration potential in the Spray River, a comprehensive study approach was employed, including measurements of stream discharge, stream temperature, topographic and bathymetric survey, substrate, fish community, instream cover, riparian vegetation, conductivity and pH, benthic invertebrates, and total suspended solids (TSS). Data were compared to habitat suitability indices to determine the quality of cutthroat trout and bull trout habitat in the Spray River. Low stream flows have reduced and homogenized available fish habitat in the Spray River. The habitat assessment indicated that the low number of pools, lack of deep pools, and lack of instream cover limit habitat suitability for cutthroat trout and bull trout. Non-indigenous brook trout dominated the fish community. Stream flows and water depths in the Spray River have been significantly reduced from their historic levels. Reduced water depths and stream flows are the primary limiting factors for the re-establishment of native fish species. Removal of brook trout from the Spray River may never be successful due to the difficulty to completely remove small brook trout and several open fish migration pathways into the stream. Direct habitat modification would have to be extensive and would require a long-term monitoring and maintenance program. Keywords: Environmental science, ecological integrity, Spray River, habitat assessment, restoration, cutthroat trout, bull trout, brook trout.

description: While pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) and their associated isolated pulsars are commonly detected at X-ray energies, they are much rarer at near infrared (nIR) and optical wavelengths. Here we examine three PWN systems in the Galactic plane - IGR J14003-6326, HESS J1632-478 and IGR J18490-0000 - in a bid to identify optical/nIR emission associated with either the extended PWNe or their previously detected X-ray point sources. We obtain optical/nIR images of the three fields with the ESO - New Technology Telescope and apply standard photometric and astrometric calibrations. We find no evidence of any extended emission associated with the PWNe in any of the fields; neither do we find any new counterparts to the X-ray point sources, except to confirm the magnitude of the previously identified counterpart candidate of IGR J18490-0000. Further observations are required to confirm the association of the nIR source to IGR J18490-0000 and to detect counterparts to IGR J14003-6326 and HESS J1632-478, while a more accurate X-ray position is required to reduce the probability of a chance superposition in the field of the latter.

Universality Conjecture for all Airy, Sine and Bessel Kernels in the Complex Plane

description: We address the question of how the celebrated universality of local correlations for the real eigenvalues of Hermitian random matrices of size NxN can be extended to complex eigenvalues in the case of random matrices without symmetry. Depending on the location in the spectrum, particular large-N limits (the so-called weakly non-Hermitian limits) lead to one-parameter deformations of the Airy, sine and Bessel kernels into the complex plane. This makes their universality highly suggestive for all symmetry classes. We compare all the known limiting real kernels and their deformations into the complex plane for all three Dyson indices beta=1,2,4, corresponding to real, complex and quaternion real matrix elements. This includes new results for Airy kernels in the complex plane for beta=1,4. For the Gaussian ensembles of elliptic Ginibre and non-Hermitian Wishart matrices we give all kernels for finite N, built from orthogonal and skew-orthogonal polynomials in the complex plane. Finally we comment on how much is known to date regarding the universality of these kernels in the complex plane, and discuss some open problems.

Reside: graduate student living in Calgary's beltline
Creators: name: Edmonds, Jeremiah Jeffrey
Publisher: name: Environmental Design

description: Bibliography: p. 84-86
description: The need for housing for the university student population is prevalent. As schools grow and attract more students from afar, difficulty arises in providing appropriate housing for their needs. Graduate students are a specific group within the university context, requiring living space that will address the specific needs of the demographic. Moving beyond the programmatic needs of the graduate student, the question can be asked as to how a graduate student can be given a rich living environment conducive to learning. The spirit of place for a student needs to be legible and identified with easily. A place that can be identified with has the ability to create a rich engagement, and can add to academic learning by providing more than the basic needs. Using the concept of threshold can allow a student to read the spaces that they are residing in. This project details a design for a proposed graduate student residence in Calgary's Beltline neighbourhood. Through the hierarchy of public and private spaces and thresholds, it is hoped that a student could identify with the building, allowing for a positively perceived spirit of place.
Driver eye movements at intersections: a modified flicker method approach
Creators: name: Edwards, Christopher J.
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 98-106
description: Inexperienced drivers are involved disproportionately in traffic accidents. Lacking appropriate hazard and decision skills may predispose these individuals to higher crash risks. To understand inexperienced and experienced driver visual behaviour for hazard detection at intersections, twelve less experienced drivers aged 18 to 19 and twelve experienced drivers aged 35 to 48 were shown 36 complex intersection images using a modified flicker method. Twenty-four intersections contained a changing object that was either a pedestrian, vehicle, or a traffic control device. The remaining 12 intersections did not contain a changing object. Visual search was monitored using an eye movement system. Areas of interest were constructed for each image in order to measure visual search behaviour. Less experienced drivers were inclined to fixate on other vehicles within the intersections, compared to experienced drivers who fixated on lights and signs. Time to view the images influenced both turn and object decision accuracy. The less experienced drivers outperformed the experienced group with respect to object detection accuracy. Overall, time to view the intersection, hazard type, and other objects influence driver's visual behaviour and decision making at intersections.

description: We present a study of the kinematical properties of a small sample of nearby near-infrared bright massive and intermediate mass young stellar objects using emission lines sensitive to discs and winds. We show for the first time that the broad ($\sim500$kms$^{-1}$) symmetric line wings on the HI Brackett series lines are due to Stark broadening or electron scattering, rather than pure Doppler broadening due to high speed motion. The results are consistent with the presence of a very dense circumstellar environment. In addition, many of these lines show evidence for weak line self-absorption, suggestive of a wind or disc-wind origin for that part of the absorbing material. The weakness of the self-absorption suggests a large opening angle for such an outflow. We also study the fluorescent 1.688$μ$m FeII line, which is sensitive to dense material. We fitted a Keplerian disc model to this line, and find reasonable fits in all bar one case, in agreement with previous finding for classical Be stars that fluorescent iron transitions are reasonable disc tracers. Overall the picture is one in which these stars still have accretion discs, with a very dense inner circumstellar environment which may be tracing either the inner regions of a disc, or of a stellar wind, and in which ionised outflow is also present. The similarity with lower mass stars is striking, suggesting that at least in this mass range they form in a similar fashion.

description: Meteorological sensors from Autonomous Temperature Line Acquisition System (ATLAS), Tropical Flex (T-Flex), and BaiLong mooring systems were run in a 6-week-long, side-by-side comparison test at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) in Seattle, Washington, from 30 July to 16 September. Time series were analyzed at the highest common time interval, which was 10 min for most observations. ATLAS data were chosen to be the standard to which T-Flex and BaiLong data were compared. All three systems provided nearly complete data for the test period, all of which were highly correlated with correlation coefficients > 0.95. RMS differences in time series were generally within or near the expected accuracy of the ATLAS system. The largest differences were in wind direction, daytime air temperature, rainfall, and short-wave radiation. Rainfall was infrequent and light during the test period, limiting the comparison to a few relatively low rain events.
Entrywise tensor-train approximation of large tensors via random embeddings

description: The theory of low-rank tensor-train approximation is well understood when the approximation error is measured in the Frobenius norm. The entrywise maximum norm is equally important but is significantly weaker for large tensors, making the estimates obtained via the Frobenius norm and norm equivalence pessimistic or even meaningless. In this article, we derive a direct estimate of the entrywise approximation error that is applicable in some of these cases. The estimate is given in terms of the higher-order generalization of the matrix factorization norm, and its proof is based on the tensor-structured Hanson--Wright inequality. The theoretical results are accompanied by numerical experiments carried out with the method of alternating projections.

description: Interwall interaction energies, as well as barriers to relative sliding of the walls along the nanotube axis, are first calculated for pairs of both armchair or both zigzag adjacent walls of carbon nanotubes with a wide range of radiuses. It is found that for the pairs with the radius of the outer wall greater than 5 nm both the interwall interaction energy and barriers to the relative sliding per one atom of the outer wall only slightly depends on the wall radius. A wide set of the measurable physical quantities determined by these barriers are estimated as a function of the wall radius: shear strengths and diffusion coefficients for relative sliding of the walls along the axis, as well as frequencies of relative axial oscillations of the walls. For nonreversible telescopic extension of the walls, maximum overlap of the walls for which threshold static friction forces are greater than capillary forces is estimated. Possibility of experimental verification of the calculated barriers by measurements of the estimated physical quantities is discussed.

description: We identify 51 blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars, 12 possible BHB stars and 58 RR Lyrae stars in Anticentre fields. Their selection does not depend on their kinematics. Light curves and ephemerides are given for 7 previously unknown RR Lyrae stars. All but 4 of the RR Lyrae stars are of Oosterhoff type I. Our selection criteria for BHB stars give results that agree with those used by Smith et al. (2010) and Ruhland et al. (2011). We use 5 methods to determine distances for the BHB stars and 3 methods for the RR Lyrae stars to get distances on a uniform scale. Absolute proper motions (largely derived from the GSCII and SDSS (DR7) databases) are given for these stars; radial velocities are given for 31 of the BHB stars and 37 of the RR Lyrae stars. Combining these data for BHB and RR Lyrae stars with those previously found in fields at the North Galactic Pole, we find that retrograde orbits dominate for galactocentric distances greater than 12.5 kpc. The majority of metal-poor stars in the solar neighbourhood are known to be concentrated in a Lperp vs. Lz angular momentum plot. We show that the ratio of the number of outliers to the number in the main concentration increases with galactocentric distance. The location of these outliers with Lperp and Lz shows that the halo BHB and RR Lyrae stars have more retrograde orbits and a more spherical distribution with increasing galactocentric distance. Six RR Lyrae stars are identified in the H99 group of outliers; the small spread in their [Fe/H] suggests that they could have come from a single globular cluster. Another group of outliers contains two pairs of RR Lyrae stars; the stars in each pair have similar properties.

description: We study massive particle radiation from cosmic string kinks, and its observability in extremely high energy neutrinos. In particular, we consider the emission of moduli --- weakly coupled scalar particles predicted in supersymmetric theories --- from the kinks of cosmic string loops. Since kinks move at the speed of light on strings, moduli are emitted with large Lorentz factors, and eventually decay into many pions and neutrinos via hadronic cascades. The produced neutrino flux has energy $E \gtrsim 10^{11} \rm{GeV}$, and is affected by oscillations and absorption (resonant and non-resonant). It is observable at upcoming neutrino telescopes such as JEM-EUSO, and the radio telescopes LOFAR and SKA, for a range of values of the string tension, and of the mass and coupling constant of the moduli.

The two-tiered illusion of self
Creators: name: Albahari, Miri
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 263-273
description: Parties from traditions in both East and West have claimed that the self lacks reality. I defend a version of this claim that uses some concepts and ideas drawn from an unorthodox (but argued-for) reading of the Buddhist doctrine of no-self (anattd). On this reading, the ordinary self is an illusion; its singular impression created by input from two sources. One source pertains to what I refer to as underlying witness-consciousness or awareness: this, I argue, is neither illusory nor mentally constructed. I argue that, through its very nature, awareness brings to the 'self a host of non-illusory features: a subjective sense of presence, the elusiveness to its own observation, unity (disparate percepts appearing to a single point of view), endurance and invariability (non-perduring, unchanging sense of presence). The other source pertains to what I call 'boundedness', and it brings to the 'self an ontological distinctness, such that the self is felt to be an individual, personalised entity with all the features of awareness. I argue that boundedness is not intrinsic to awareness, but comes about through desire-driven thoughts and emotions. When infused with the 'awareness source', their content depicts a separate self as their subject. Input from the 'boundedness-source' makes the self a mental construct, and the constructedness bestows on the self an illusory status. (For the self does not subjectively seem to be the mental construct it actually is: the self seems to be an unconstructed entity which thinks the thoughts rather than an entity whose existence depends on thoughts). In virtue of its two sources or 'tiers' - one constructed and one unconstructed -1 term the phenomenon a 'two-tiered illusion of self. The theory is to be contrasted with standard Western theories of self-as-illusion (e.g., Hume, James, Dennett) which tend to pin the selfs illusory status on unity and endurance, by regarding these features as illusory in themselves.

African media during democratization: tracing media policy in Ghana and Zimbabwe
Creators: name: Eizlini, Gaelle
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 130-143
description: In Huntington's (1991) study of democratization, the press, or information media are barely mentioned, and the focus is on authoritarian control of the media, or how outside media influence a state's transition to democracy. Using a contingency model, and an understanding of the place of the media and media freedom from Mill and Habermas, this study will examine the media policies and legal instruments of two African states: Ghana and Zimbabwe. Examining current media policy (legal instruments, guarantees and state regulatory bodies) in Ghana and Zimbabwe offer interesting contrasts in their current attitudes towards the press and the kinds of press environments they are creating and how those affect democratization. Ghana has moved very aggressively to open media space which has created an environment of broad support for democracy. While in Zimbabwe, the Mugabe government has systematically targeted the independent media leading to a general reduction of the democratic impulse.

description: The goal of retrospective data assimilation or 'reanalysis' is to combine disparate observations into physically consistent estimates of the past state of the Earth system and its components - e.g., ocean, atmosphere, waves, land, cryosphere, and ionosphere - with quantified uncertainties. Reanalyses spanning the limits of the instrumental record of each component serve as a key tool for climate monitoring and analysis, and for providing initial and boundary conditions and verification for retrospective forecasts. The reanalysis research enterprise, begun nearly 40 years ago, has led to a cycle of improvement of models, data assimilation systems, and historical observational databases required for improved reanalysis datasets. Together, these improvements have led to dramatic advances in understanding and predicting weather and climate variability, from extreme events to centennial trends. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which has a need to provide prediction capabilities at lead times from minutes to decades, continues to be an important contributor in the progress towards the goal of improved Earth system reanalysis.
Design for project change management

Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 94-105
description: In the pipeline design and construction industry, the construction projects are carried out based upon the design descriptions including design configuration and design attributes. The design configuration and attributes of the projects occasionally have to be modified after the construction has been scheduled or during the construction process, thus resulting in construction project changes. These project changes usually bring significant, negative impacts on cost, quality, and construction schedules of the project. In this research, a new systematic approach is proposed to identifying the optimal design to minimize the potential construction project changes. This research focuses on the aspects of pipeline system design. In the configuration design aspect, relations between design configurations and construction tasks are modeled by matrices. The design configuration that is most independent to the construction tasks is identified based upon Axiomatic Design approach. In addition, estimation of project change cost due to the design configuration changes is also discussed In attribute design aspect, potential changes of design attribute values are modeled by probability distribution functions. Attribute values of the design whose construction tasks are least sensitive to the changes of these attribute values are identified based upon Taguchi Method. In addition, estimation of project change cost due to the design attribute value changes is also discussed. Two case studies are conducted to show that the proposed approach can effectively manage the design and construction changes.

description: The ATLAS experiment has recently presented its search results for final states containing jets and/or b-jet(s) and missing transverse momentum, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 165 pb^{-1}. We employ this data to constrain a class of supersymmetric SU(4)_c X SU(2)_L X SU(2)_R models with t-b-τYukawa unification, in which the gluino is the next to lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP). The NLSP gluino is slightly (~10-30%) heavier than the the LSP dark matter neutralino, and it primarily decays into the latter and a quark-antiquark pair or gluon. We find that NLSP gluino masses below ~300 GeV are excluded by the ATLAS data. For LSP neutralino mass ~200-300 GeV and μ>0, where μis the coefficient of the MSSM Higgs bilinear term, the LHC constraints in some cases on the spin-dependent (spin-independent) neutralino-nucleon cross section are significantly more stringent than the expected bounds from IceCube DeepCore (Xenon 1T/SuperCDMS). For μ<0, this also holds for the spin-dependent cross sections.

description: The common internal structure and algorithmic organization of object detection, detection-based tracking, and event recognition facilitates a general approach to integrating these three components. This supports multidirectional information flow between these components allowing object detection to influence tracking and event recognition and event recognition to influence tracking and object detection. The performance of the combination can exceed the performance of the components in isolation. This can be done with linear asymptotic complexity.

description: We use new Herschel multi-band imaging of the Andromeda galaxy to analyze how dust heating occurs in the central regions of galaxy spheroids that are essentially devoid of young stars. We construct a dust temperature map of M31 through fitting modified blackbody SEDs to the Herschel data, and find that the temperature within 2 kpc rises strongly from the mean value in the disk of 17 pm 1K to \sim35K at the centre. UV to near-IR imaging of the central few kpc shows directly the absence of young stellar populations, delineates the radial profile of the stellar density, and demonstrates that even the near-UV dust extinction is optically thin in M31's bulge. This allows the direct calculation of the stellar radiation heating in the bulge, U\ast(r), as a function of radius. The increasing temperature profile in the centre matches that expected from the stellar heating, i.e. that the dust heating and cooling rates track each other over nearly two orders of magnitude in U\ast. The modelled dust heating is in excess of the observed dust temperatures, suggesting that it is more than sufficient to explain the observed IR emission. Together with the wavelength dependent absorption cross section of the dust, this demonstrates directly that it is the optical, not UV, radiation that sets the heating rate. This analysis shows that neither young stellar populations nor stellar near-UV radiation are necessary to heat dust to warm temperatures in galaxy spheroids. Rather, it is the high densities of Gyr-old stellar populations that provide a sufficiently strong diffuse radiation field to heat the dust. To the extent which these results pertain to the tenuous dust found in the centres of early-type galaxies remains yet to be explored.

description: A new representation, which does not contain the third-order derivatives of the coordinates, of the exact Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equations, describing the motion of a spinning test particle, is obtained under the assumption of the Mathisson-Pirani condition in a Kerr background. For this purpose the integrals of energy and angular momentum of the spinning particle as well as a differential relationship following from the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equations are used. The form of these equations is adapted for their computer integration with the aim to investigate the influence of the spin-curvature interaction on the particle's behavior in the gravitational field without restrictions on its velocity and spin orientation. Some numerical examples for a Schwarzschild background are presented.

Inflow pattern stochastic dynamic programming and its application in reservoir operation optimization

description: Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP) has often been a useful technique for identifying the optimal operating policies for reservoirs. The stochastic nature of inflows is usually described by an order one Markov process, of which the current inflow is only conditioned on the preceding inflow, and represented by a transition probability Pr(Qt+i\Qt). An important controversy in the literature of stochastic reservoir optimizations, as well as that of stream flow modeling, concerns the appropriateness of using order one Markov process to describe the inflow sequence. If correlations among inflows beyond lag 1 are strong (the shorter the time step, the wider the correlations will span among them, e.g. daily inflows normally show wider span of correlations than weekly or monthly inflows), which implies that the occurrence of current inflow can be more precisely conditioned on more previous inflows Pr(Qt+i\Qt,Qt~ii ...,Qt-k) (higher order autoregressive models are often used in stochastic hydrological modeling under this situation). Theoretically, these previous inflows can be treated as state variables to be included in the SDP formulation. However, this addition of state variables yields a mathematical formulation that is impractical to solve due to the "curse of dimensionality" inherent in the SDP formulation. Specifically, these difficulties stem from the structural limitations of the SDP, whereby the addition of each new state variable forces exponential increases in the number of system states to be evaluated, quickly making it impractical to solve. In this study, the previous inflows Qt, Qt-i, •••> Qt-k are treated as an inflow pattern to be included in the SDP formulation as a single state variable. The number of state variables remains the same as that of the SDP, with one storage state variable and one hydrologie state variable. The computational efficiency of the SDP model is maintained, while the model captures the higher order correlation structure in the inflow sequence. The resulting model is termed inflow Pattern Stochastic Dynamic Programming (PSDP) model. The improvement of PSDP models over their classic SDP counterparts are demonstrated through their application to the Glenmore Reservoir, which is located in southwest Calgary, Canada.
Compressed quantum simulation of the Ising model

description: In [R. Jozsa, B. Kraus, A. Miyake, J. Watrous, Proc. R. Soc. A {\bf 466}, 809-830 (2010)] it has been shown that a match gate circuit running on n qubits can be compressed to a universal quantum computation on \log(n)+3 qubits. Here, we show how this compression can be employed to simulate the Ising interaction of a 1D--chain consisting out of n qubits using a universal quantum computer running on log(n) qubits. We demonstrate how the adiabatic evolution can be realized on this exponentially smaller system and how the magnetization, which shows a quantum phase transition, can be measured.

description: Federated learning (FL) allows training machine learning models on distributed data without compromising privacy. However, FL is vulnerable to model-poisoning attacks where malicious clients tamper with their local models to manipulate the global model. In this work, we investigate the resilience of the partial-sharing online FL (PSO-Fed) algorithm against such attacks. PSO-Fed reduces communication overhead by allowing clients to share only a fraction of their model updates with the server. We demonstrate that this partial sharing mechanism has the added advantage of enhancing PSO-Fed's robustness to model-poisoning attacks. Through theoretical analysis, we show that PSO-Fed maintains convergence even under Byzantine attacks, where malicious clients inject noise into their updates. Furthermore, we derive a formula for PSO-Fed's mean square error, considering factors like stepsize, attack probability, and the number of malicious clients. Interestingly, we find a non-trivial optimal stepsize that maximizes PSO-Fed's resistance to these attacks. Extensive numerical experiments confirm our theoretical findings and showcase PSO-Fed's superior performance against model-poisoning attacks compared to other leading FL algorithms.
