Formal specification and verification techniques for mutable references and advanced aliasing in Rust
Creators: name: Ewert, David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Verification tools allow developers to write specifications (or rules) that are used to verify the correctness of their programs, i.e., that the programs follow the specified rules. Prusti and Creusot are two verification tools that can be used to verify programs written in Rust. The way Rust handles aliasing mutation has interesting implications when it comes to verification. Prusti and Creusot each use different techniques to take advantage of this; Prusti uses separation logic while Creusot uses its prophecy model. In this thesis, we present several enhancements to these tools that relate to aliasing mutation. The first is a type system for defining well-typed Prusti specifications, which we use to develop a translation from Prusti's specification language to Creusot's specification language. Because of the differences in the way Prusti and Creusot handle mutable references, this translation is non-trivial. We then propose an updated soundness proof for Creusot that allows proving the soundness of a new version of its ghost type. The old version of the ghost type was found to be unsound. The existing soundness proof for Creusot has limitations, which require us to make non-trivial changes to its prophecy model to allow it to prove the soundness of our new version of this ghost type. Lastly, we introduce a new type for Rust that can be used with verification tools such as Prusti or Creusot to verify safety in cases where, because of the aliasing restrictions on Rust's reference types, raw pointers are required to implement data structures.

description: The temperature-dependent optical reflectivity and complex transmissivity of an epitaxially grown Ba(Fe$_{0.9}$Co$_{0.1}$)$_2$As$_2$ thin film were measured and the optical conductivity and permittivity evaluated over a wide frequency range. The opening of the superconducting gap $2Δ_0 = 3.7$ meV below $T_c\approx 20$ K is {\em directly} observed by a completely vanishing optical conductivity. The temperature and frequency dependent electrodynamic properties of Ba(Fe$_{0.9}$Co$_{0.1}$)$_2$As$_2$ in the superconducting state agree well with the BCS predictions with no nodes in the order parameter. The spectral weight of the condensate $1.94\times 10^7 {\rm cm}^{-2}$ corresponds to a London penetration depth $λ_L=3600$ Å.

description: Investigations of the resistivity and the Hall effect as a function of electric field and temperature in the normal state and upper part of the superconducting transition of an optimally doped, very thin film of YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-δ}$ are reported. Using a fast pulsed-current technique allowed to reduce the self-heating of the sample and to reach electric fields up to 1 kV/cm. An intrinsic non-Ohmic behavior of the Hall conductivity above the critical temperature that appears to originate from two different, partially counteracting effects is revealed. The major contribution stems from the suppression of Aslamazov-Larkin superconducting fluctuations in high electric fields.

description: The fluctuation-dissipation relation (FDR), a fundamental result of equilibrium statistical physics, ceases to be valid when a system is taken out of the equilibrium. A generalization of FDR has been theoretically proposed for out-of-equilibrium systems: the kinetic temperature entering FDR is substituted by a time-scale dependent effective temperature. We combine the measurements of the correlation function of the rotational dynamics of colloidal particles obtained via dynamic light scattering with those of the birefringence response to study the generalized FDR in an off-equilibrium clay suspension undergoing aging. We i) find that FDR is strongly violated in the early stage of the aging process and is gradually recovered as the aging time increases and, ii), we determine the aging time evolution of the effective temperature, giving support to the proposed generalization scheme.

description: We identify an unusual new gauge-gravity relation: the one-loop effective action for a massive spinor in 2n dimensional AdS space is expressed in terms of precisely the same function [a certain multiple gamma function] as the one-loop effective action for a massive charged scalar in 4n dimensions in a maximally symmetric background electromagnetic field [one for which the eigenvalues of F_{μν} are maximally degenerate, corresponding in 4 dimensions to a self-dual field, equivalently to a field of definite helicity], subject to the identification F^2 Λ, where Λis the gravitational curvature. Since these effective actions generate the low energy limit of all one-loop multi-leg graviton or gauge amplitudes, this implies a nontrivial gauge-gravity relation at the non-perturbative level and at the amplitude level.

description: As of August 2008, over 30 multiple exoplanet systems are known, and 28% of stars with planets show significant evidence of a second companion. I briefly review these 30 systems individually, broadly grouping them into five categories: 1) systems with 3 or more giant (Msini > 0.2 M_Jup) planets, 2) systems with two giant planets in mean motion resonance (MMR), 3) systems with two giant planets not in MMR but whose dynamical evolution is affected by planet-planet interactions, 4) highly hierarchical systems, having two giant planets with very large period ratios (> 30:1), and 5) systems of ``Super-Earths'', containing only planets with (Msini < 20 M_Earth). It now appears that eccentricities are not markedly higher among planets in known multiple planet systems, and that planets with Msini < 1 M_Jup have lower eccentricities than more massive planets. The distribution of semimajor axes for planets in multiplanet systems does not show the 3-day pile-up or the 1 AU "jump" of the apparently-single planet distribution.

The process of transitioning to a mainstream high school for hard-of-hearing youth
Creators: name: Bridger, Alisa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this study was to understand the process of transitioning to their neighbourhood, mainstream, high school for students in British Columbia (BC) who are Hard of Hearing (HoH). The study used a constructivist grounded theory approach. Interviews were conducted with 14 adolescents who had transitioned from elementary school and were currently registered in Grades 8-12, in mainstream classroom placements. Interviews were coded, and memo writing and diagramming were utilized to assist in searching for key terms and linking interview data. Findings revealed one core organizing category, Navigating the Transition to Mainstream High School: The Process of Hard-of-Hearing Students, which explains the processes that occur over the six main categories in the high school transition theory. These six categories are: Feeling Comfortable, Naïvely Anticipating, Surviving the Unknown, Finding my Footing, Hitting my Stride, and Anticipating Again. The results indicate that the process of transitioning is not a purely linear one; rather, it is progressive, with participants generally navigating toward increased engagement and connection as they progress through the mid-level transition theory. Additionally, the theory conceptualizes the experience of a successful transition to high school for HoH participants as a process of navigating relationships with peers, teachers, and self, in a novel environment, namely, a mainstream high school. The process described in this dissertation provides the first self-reported understanding of the process of high school transition for HoH youth, which affirms that this population has a unique lived experience of the transition to high school that is of import. The theory emphasizes the many parallel processes navigated by HoH youth and their typically hearing peers but amplifies the novel experience of barriers to independence and connection created by auditory challenges and actions of hearing peers and teachers. It emphasizes the pivotal role that a trusted adult can play in supporting the process of transitioning and may serve as a guide for professionals and families supporting HoH youth. Finally, as conveyed by the youth themselves, understanding of the transition process may serve as support and connection for other HoH youth who often feel alone in their HoH mainstream experience.
Structure and decay of rotating homogeneous turbulence

Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: Navier-Stokes turbulence subject to solid-body rotation is studied by high-resolution direct numerical simulations (DNS) of freely decaying and stationary flows. Setups characterized by different Rossby numbers are considered. In agreement with experimental results strong rotation is found to lead to anisotropy of the direct nonlinear energy flux, which is attenuated primarily in the direction of the rotation axis. In decaying turbulence the evolution of kinetic energy follows an approximate power law with a distinct dependence of the decay exponent on the rotation frequency. A simple phenomenological relation between exponent and rotation rate reproduces this observation. Stationary turbulence driven by large-scale forcing exhibits $k_\perp^{-2}$-scaling in the rotation-dominated inertial range of the one-dimensional energy spectrum taken perpendicularly to the rotation axis. The self-similar scaling is shown to be the cumulative result of individual spectral contributions which, for low rotation rate, display $k_\perp^{-3}$-scaling near the $k_\parallel=0$ plane. A phenomenology which incorporates the modification of the energy cascade by rotation is proposed. In the observed regime the nonlinear turbulent interactions are strongly influenced by rotation but not suppressed. {Longitudinal two-point velocity structure functions taken perpendicularly to the axis of rotation indicate weak intermittency of the $k_\parallel=0$ (2D) component of the flow while the intermittent scaling of $k_\parallel\neq 0$ (3D) fluctuations is well captured by a modified She-Lévêque intermittency model which yields the expression $ζ_p=p/6 + 2(1-(2/3)^{p/2})$ for the structure function scaling exponents.

description: We analyze H-alpha images, soft X-ray profiles, magnetograms, extreme ultra-violet images and radio observations of two homologous flare events (M1.4/1N and M9.6/2B) on 20 November 2003 in the active region NOAA 10501 and study properties of reconnection between twisted filament systems, energy release and associated launch of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). During both events twisted filaments observed in H-alpha approached each other and initiated the flare processes. However, the second event showed the formation of cusp as the filaments interacted. The rotation of sunspots of opposite polarities, inferred from magnetograms likely powered the twisted filaments and injection of helicity. Along the current sheet between these two opposite polarity sunspots, the shear was maximum, which could have caused the twist in the filament. At the time of interaction between filaments, the reconnection took place and flare emission in thermal and non-thermal energy ranges attained the maximum. The radio signatures revealed the opening of field lines resulting from reconnection. The H-alpha images and radio data provide the inflow speed leading to reconnection and the scale size of particle acceleration region. The first event produced a narrow and slow CME, whereas the later one was associated with a fast full halo CME. The halo CME signatures observed between Sun and Earth using white-light and scintillation images and in-situ measurements indicated the magnetic energy utilized in the expansion and propagation. The magnetic cloud signature at the Earth confirmed the flux rope ejected at the time of filament interaction and reconnection.

description: Glueballs and other resonances with large gluonic components are predicted as bound states by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The lightest (scalar) glueball is estimated to have a mass in the range from 1 to 2 GeV/c**2; a pseudoscalar and tensor glueball are expected at higher masses. Many different experiments exploiting a large variety of production mechanisms have presented results in recent years on light mesons with J(PC) = 0(++), 0(-+), and 2(++) quantum numbers. This review looks at the experimental status of glueballs. Good evidence exists for a scalar glueball which is mixed with nearby mesons, but a full understanding is still missing. Evidence for tensor and pseudoscalar glueballs are weak at best. Theoretical expectations of phenomenological models and QCD on the lattice are briefly discussed.

Integrating nanopore long-range genomic variant phasing to improve resolution of allele-specific expression from short-read RNA-seq
Creators: name: Chang, Keng Man Glenn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Cancer genomes often carry somatic mutations that disrupt gene expression on specific alleles, leading to Allele-Specific Expression (ASE). ASE may dysregulate cancer driver genes by favoring loss-of-function alleles, causing haploinsufficiency. However, detecting ASE requires precise genomic variant phasing, a challenge with previous phasing methods such as pseudo-phasing algorithms, short-read phasing and population phasing. These methods are limited by low accuracy, small phase blocks and inability to phase rare and somatic variants. Our objective is to develop and validate a bioinformatics pipeline for genome-wide ASE gene detection by integrating Nanopore long-read sequencing for precise genomic variant phasing with short-read RNA-sequencing for enhanced ASE detection. We will conduct an exploratory analysis of ASE data using a pan-cancer cohort as part of the Personalized OncoGenomic (POG) project. Our aim is to identify the genomic mechanisms responsible for genes exhibiting ASE, explore known instances of ASE, and utilize ASE to identify and validate dysregulated cancer genes that may contribute to tumor development. To achieve these goals, we have developed IMPALA, a pipeline designed for the detection of ASE genes and the identification of potential genetic mechanisms behind ASE. Additionally, we have developed a novel ASE simulator capable of generating synthetic RNA-seq data containing known ASE genes. Using the simulated data, IMPALA demonstrates an average F1 score of 0.93. ASE analysis was done on 179 tumor samples from the POG cohort, where an average of 26% of phased genes exhibited ASE. We explore various cis-acting genetic mechanisms that can lead to ASE, including allelic CNV imbalance, allelic promoter methylation silencing, and nonsense-mediated decay. Notably, we explored known instances of ASE, such as X-inactivation genes, imprinting genes, and their correlation with allelic methylation of imprinting control regions. Furthermore, we employ ASE to investigate clinically relevant cancer genes, focusing on somatic mutations found on the major expressing allele. Leveraging ASE, we identify 631 significant noncoding mutations linked to the expression of cancer genes, potentially serving as markers for cis-acting regulatory mechanisms. Lastly, we delve into the specific abnormal ASE of cancer genes, such as DUSP22, to uncover potential genetic mechanisms behind these ASE events.

description: In the superlens problem, the presence of the reflected wave plays a critical role in the energy and information transfer from the object to recording device: both incident and reflected evanescent waves are required to insure nonzero energy/information flux from the object to the recorder. Therefore an optimization is required between the image quality (characterized by a transfer function) and information transfer rate (characterized by the energy/information flux). It is shown that the introduction of the recording device may lead to the deterioration in the image quality as compared to the ideal case when no recording device is present. The decline in the image quality is due to the generation of phase-shifted reflected evanescent wave between the lens and the recorder. It is also shown that the magnitude of the energy flux depends on the amount of dissipation in the lens and the recorder in a non-monotonous way.

The photocurrent behavior upon variation of the radiation polarization state, wavelength, gate voltage and temperature is studied. We present the microscopical and phenomenological theory of the photogalvanic effects, which describes well the experimental results. In particular, it is demonstrated that the circular (photon-helicity sensitive) photocurrent in silicon-based structures is of pure orbital nature originating from the quantum interference of different pathways contributing to the absorption of monochromatic radiation.

description: We construct a massive non-abelian N= 1 SYM theory on R^3. This is achieved by using a non-local gauge and Poincare invariant mass term for gluons due to Nair. The underlying supersymmetry algebra is shown to be a non-central extension of the Poincare algebra by the spacetime rotation group so(3). The incorporation of Chern-Simons couplings in the formalism is also presented. The dimensional reduction of the gauge theory and the SUSY algebra is related to a massive N=2 massive matrix quantum mechanics based on euclidean $Clifford_2(R)$.

description: We consider the one-dimensional Lieb-Liniger model (bosons interacting via 2-body delta potentials) in the infinite coupling constant limit (the so-called Tonks-Girardeau model). This model might be relevant as a description of atomic Bose gases confined in a one-dimensional geometry. It is known to have a fermionic spectrum since the N-body wavefunctions have to vanish at coinciding points, and therefore be symmetrizations of fermionic Slater wavefunctions. We argue that in the infinite coupling constant limit the model is indistinguishable from free fermions, i.e., all physically accessible observables are the same as those of free fermions. Therefore, Bose-Einstein condensate experiments at finite energy that preserve the one-dimensional geometry cannot test any bosonic characteristic of such a model.

description: In June 2012, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning about the risk of catheter entrapment associated with Onyx embolization. We used our experience, literature review, and FDA Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) data review to identify five strategies to address catheter entrapment: 1/. Surgical resection of vessel at point of entrapment of catheter and retraction from exterior portion at the femoral region; 2/. Advancing and closing the loop of snare over the entrapped catheter followed by retraction; 3/. Advancing the distal access catheter over the entrapped catheter and retraction with forward movement of the distal access catheters; 4/. Inflation of balloon catheter coaxial to the entrapped catheter with subsequent retraction; and 5/. Intravascular retention and internalization of microcatheter. In the MAUDE data, there were 77 reports of catheter entrapment with Onyx embolization; microcatheter was retracted by surgical excision in 15, endovascular snare or other retriever devices in 5, deliberately entrapped inside the vessel using stent in 1, and left without intervention within intravascular compartment in 27 patients.

description: A temática do desenvolvimento de soft skills no Ensino Superior (ES) tem vindo a crescer em importância nas últimas décadas, à medida que se tem tornado mais evidente a necessidade que os licenciados possuem de não só terem ótimas competências técnicas, as também excelentes competências sociais, de gestão emocional, etc. para terem sucesso no mercado de trabalho. Uma das principais críticas que tem consistentemente sido feita às instituições de ES é a desadequação entre aquilo que é o seu foco em termos de desenvolvimento de competências e aquilo que o mercado de trabalho mais valoriza. O presente trabalho compara as perceções dos estudantes universitários na área da gestão (N=78) relativamente à pertinência e à preparação fornecida pelas ES na área das soft skills para a sua futura profissão com as identificadas dos profissionais de gestão (N=112). Neste contexto, ambos os grupos avaliaram o inventário de competências transversais de Vieira e Marques (2014), identificando quer a importância de cada competência, quer o nível de preparação obtido pela mesma nas IES por parte dos jovens licenciados.

description: Innovation is slowing greatly in the pharmaceutical sector. It is considered here how part of the problem is due to overly limiting intellectual property relations in the sector. On the other hand, computing and software in particular are characterized by great richness of intellectual property frameworks. Could the intellectual property ecosystem of computing come to the aid of the biosciences and life sciences? We look at how the answer might well be yes, by looking at (i) the extent to which a drug mirrors a software program, and (ii) what is to be gleaned from trends in research publishing in the life and biosciences.

description: We consider in this paper a relative version of the Howe-Moore Property, about vanishing at infinity of coefficients of unitary representations. We characterize this property in terms of ergodic measure-preserving actions. We also characterize, for linear Lie groups or p-adic Lie groups, the pairs with the relative Howe-Moore Property with respect to a closed, normal subgroup. This involves, in one direction, structural results on locally compact groups all of whose proper closed characteristic subgroups are compact, and, in the other direction, some results about the vanishing at infinity of oscillatory integrals.

Neutrino deuteron reaction in the heating mechanism of core-collapse supernovae

description: We examine a potential role of the neutrino deuteron reactions in the mechanism of supernova explosion by evaluating the energy transfer cross section for the neutrino heating. We calculate the energy loss rate due to the neutrino absorptions through the charged-current process as well as the neutrino scattering through the neutral-current process. In so doing, we adopt a detailed evaluation of cross sections for the neutrino deuteron reactions with the phenomenological Lagrangian approach. We find the energy transfer cross section for the deuteron is larger than those for $^{3}$H, $^{3}$He and $^{4}$He for neutrino temperatures (T$_ν$ $\sim 4$ MeV) relevant to supernova core. Because of the low energy threshold for the deuteron breakup, the energy transfer rate rapidly increases from low temperature, T$_ν$ $\sim 1$ MeV. This suggests that the neutrino deuteron reactions may contribute effectively to the heating mechanism during the dissociation of irons into light elements and nucleons in the shocked material of supernova core.

description: The exchange-correlation energy in Kohn-Sham density functional theory can be expressed exactly in terms of the change in the expectation of the electron-electron repulsion operator when, in the many-electron hamiltonian, this same operator is multiplied by a real parameter $λ$ varying between 0 (Kohn-Sham system) and 1 (physical system). In this process, usually called adiabatic connection, the one-electron density is kept fixed by a suitable local one-body potential. The strong-interaction limit of density functional theory, defined as the limit $λ\to\infty$, turns out to be, like the opposite non-interacting Kohn-Sham limit ($λ\to 0$) mathematically simpler than the physical ($λ=1$) case, and can be used to build an approximate interpolation formula between $λ\to 0$ and $λ\to\infty$ for the exchange-correlation energy. Here we extend the exact treatment of the $λ\to\infty$ limit [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 75}, 042511 (2007)] to the next leading term, describing zero-point oscillations of strictly correlated electrons, with numerical examples for small spherical atoms. We also propose an improved approximate functional for the zero-point term and a revised interpolation formula for the exchange-correlation energy satisfying more exact constraints.

description: We analyze samples of Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) spectra of T Tauri stars in the Ophiuchus, Taurus, and Chamaeleon I star-forming regions, whose median ages lie in the <1 to 2 Myr range. The median mid-infrared spectra of objects in these three regions are similar in shape, suggesting, on average, similar disk structures. When normalized to the same stellar luminosity, the medians follow each other closely, implying comparable mid-infrared excess emission from the circumstellar disks. We use the spectral index between 13 and 31 micron and the equivalent width of the 10 micron silicate emission feature to identify objects whose disk configuration departs from that of a continuous, optically thick accretion disk. Transitional disks, whose steep 13-31 micron spectral slope and near-IR flux deficit reveal inner disk clearing, occur with about the same frequency of a few percent in all three regions. Objects with unusually large 10 micron equivalent widths are more common (20-30%); they could reveal the presence of disk gaps filled with optically thin dust. Based on their medians and fraction of evolved disks, T Tauri stars in Taurus and Chamaeleon I are very alike. Disk evolution sets in early, since already the youngest region, the Ophiuchus core (L1688), has more settled disks with larger grains. Our results indicate that protoplanetary disks show clear signs of dust evolution at an age of a few Myr, even as early as ~1 Myr, but age is not the only factor determining the degree of evolution during the first few million years of a disk's lifetime.

NOT gate response in a mesoscopic ring: An exact result

description: We explore NOT gate response in a mesoscopic ring threaded by a magnetic flux $ϕ$. The ring is attached symmetrically to two semi-infinite one-dimensional metallic electrodes and a gate voltage, viz, $V_a$, is applied in one arm of the ring which is treated as the input of the NOT gate. The calculations are based on the tight-binding model and the Green's function method, which numerically compute the conductance-energy and current-voltage characteristics as functions of the ring-to-electrodes coupling strength, magnetic flux and gate voltage. Our theoretical study shows that, for $ϕ=ϕ_0/2$ ($ϕ_0=ch/e$, the elementary flux-quantum) a high output current (1) (in the logical sense) appears if the input to the gate is low (0), while a low output current (0) appears when the input to the gate is high (1). It clearly exhibits the NOT gate behavior and this aspect may be utilized in designing an electronic logic gate.
