description: Given a vertex-weighted tree T, the split of an edge xy in T is min{s_x(xy), s_y(xy)} where s_u(uv) is the sum of all weights of vertices that are closer to u than to v in T. Given a set of weighted vertices V and a multiset of splits S, we consider the problem of constructing a tree on V whose splits correspond to S. The problem is known to be NP-complete, even when all vertices have unit weight and the maximum vertex degree of T is required to be no more than 4. We show that the problem is strongly NP-complete when T is required to be a path, the problem is NP-complete when all vertices have unit weight and the maximum degree of T is required to be no more than 3, and it remains NP-complete when all vertices have unit weight and T is required to be a caterpillar with unbounded hair length and maximum degree at most 3. We also design polynomial time algorithms for the variant where T is required to be a path and the number of distinct vertex weights is constant, and the variant where all vertices have unit weight and T has a constant number of leaves. The latter algorithm is not only polynomial when the number of leaves, k, is a constant, but also fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by k. Finally, we shortly discuss the problem when the vertex weights are not given but can be freely chosen by an algorithm. The considered problem is related to building libraries of chemical compounds used for drug design and discovery. In these inverse problems, the goal is to generate chemical compounds having desired structural properties, as there is a strong correlation between structural properties, such as the Wiener index, which is closely connected to the considered problem, and biological activity.

description: The bound states of the fermionic ^3He(2 ^3S_1)+ ^3He(2 ^3P_j)system, where j=0,1,2, are investigated using the recently available ab initio short-range ${}^{1,3,5}Σ^{+}_{g,u}$ and ${}^{1,3,5}Π_{g,u}$ potentials computed by Deguilhem et al. (J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys., 2009, 42, 015102). Single-channel and multichannel calculations have been undertaken in order to investigate the effects of Coriolis and non-adiabatic couplings. The possible experimental observability of the theoretical levels is assessed using criteria based upon the short-range character of each level and their coupling to metastable ground states. Purely long-range levels have been identified and 30 short-range levels near five asymptotes are suggested for experimental investigation.

description: We consider the Riemann problem for relativistic flows of polytropic fluids and find relations for the flow characteristics. Evolution of physical quantities take especially simple form for the case of cold magnetized plasmas. We find exact, explicit analytical solutions for one dimensional expansion of magnetized plasma into vacuum, valid for arbitrary magnetization. We also consider expansion into cold unmagnetized external medium both for stationary initial conditions and for initially moving plasma, as well as reflection of rarefaction wave from a wall. We also find self-similar structure of three-dimensional magnetized outflows into vacuum, valid close to the plasma-vacuum interface. The key results of this work, the self-similar solutions, were incorporated post-initial submission into appendices of the published version of Granot et al. (2010).

Generalization bounds and size generalization for graph neural networks
Creators: name: Sales, Emmanuel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Graph neural networks (GNNs) are a class of machine learning models that relax the independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) assumption between data points that underlies most machine learning models. Theoretical understanding of these models involves analyzing generalization bounds, a theoretical framework for finding the provable discrepancies between expected train and test loss. We make advancements in state-of-the-art PAC-Bayes generalization bounds for GNNs using insights from graph theory and random matrix theory, and perform experiments for validation. One of the most important directions in the study of modern theoretical machine learning is the analysis of out-of-distribution error; that is, error measured particularly on examples from a distinct distribution from the training distribution. In particular for the graph learning setting and GNNs, there are importatnt questions that can be explored about size generalization, the capacity for a graph neural network to make predictions on graphs much larger than seen on its training set. We develop a theoretical framework for size generalization with the analysis of graph learning settings where GNNs can easily perform size generalization, and develop probabilistic theorems analyzing some measures of generalization error, building off of the work done in the PAC-Bayes analysis.
Trapped, Two-Armed, Nearly Vertical Oscillations in Disks with Toroidal Magnetic Fields
Creators: name: Kato, Shoji
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We have examined trapping of two-armed ($m=2$) nearly vertical oscillations (vertical p-mode) in vertically isothermal ($c_{\rm s}=$ const.) relativistic disks with toroidal magnetic fields. The magnetic fields are stratified so that the Alfv{é}n speed, $c_{\rm A}$, is constant in the vertical direction. The ratio of $c_{\rm A}^2/c_{\rm s}^2$ in the vertical direction is taken as a parameter examining the effects of magnetic fields on wave trapping. We find that the two-armed nearly vertical oscillations are trapped in the inner region of disks and their frequencies decrease with increase of $c_{\rm A}^2/c_{\rm s}^2$. The trapped regions of the fundamental ($n=1$) and the first-overtone ($n=2$) are narrow (less than the length of the Schwarzschild radius, $r_{\rm g}$) and their frequencies are relatively high (on the order of the angular frequency of disk rotation in the inner region). On contrast to this, the second-overtone ($n=3$) are trapped in a wide region (a few times $r_{\rm g}$), and their frequencies are low and tend to zero in the limit of $c_{\rm A}^2/c_{\rm s}^2=2.0$.

description: A dynamical non-Abelian 2-form gauge theory (with B \wedge F term) is endowed with the "scalar" and "vector" gauge symmetry transformations. In our present endeavor, we exploit the latter gauge symmetry transformations and perform the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) analysis of the four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) topologically massive non-Abelian 2-form gauge theory. We demonstrate the existence of some novel features that have, hitherto, not been observed in the context of BRST approach to 4D (non-)Abelian 1-form as well as Abelian 2-form and 3-form gauge theories. We comment on the differences between the novel features that emerge in the BRST analysis of the "scalar" and "vector" gauge symmetries of the theory.

We discuss Szego, Fisher-Hartwig asymptotics, and how a transition between them is related to the Painleve V equation. Certain Toeplitz and Hankel determinants reduce, in certain double-scaling limits, to Fredholm determinants which appear in the theory of group representations, in random matrices, random permutations and partitions. The connection to Toeplitz determinants helps to evaluate the asymptotics of related Fredholm determinants in situations of interest, and we review the corresponding results.

description: Recently, the D0 Collaboration measured the CP-violating like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry in neutral B decays, finding a 3.2sigma difference from the standard-model (SM) prediction. A non-SM charge asymmetry a_sl^s suggests a new-physics (NP) contribution to Bs-Bsbar mixing. In this case, in order to explain the measured value of a_sl^s within its 1sigma range, NP must be present in Gamma_12^s, the absorptive part of the mixing. In this paper, we examine whether such an explanation is possible in models with flavor-changing Z (ZFCNC) or Z' (Z'FCNC) gauge bosons. The models must also reproduce the measured values of the indirect CP asymmetry S_psi-phi in Bs -> J/psi phi, and Delta Gamma_s, the Bs-Bsbar width difference. We find that the ZFCNC model cannot reproduce the present measured values of S_psi-phi and a_sl^s within their 1sigma ranges. On the other hand, in the Z'FCNC model, the values of all three observables can be simultaneously reproduced.

The fundamental study of impurity behavior in wet chlorination of decopperized anode slime
Creators: name: Koga, Keitaro
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The copper industry has been facing challenges associated with continuous declining ore grade and elevated levels of impurities in copper ores. Such challenges have already significantly impacted copper smelting and refining. The situation is compounded by increasingly complex feed materials processed by copper smelters. A major concern is the accumulation of impurity elements in copper anodes and the anode slimes generated in electrorefining. This, in turn, affects the downstream treatment of anode slimes for recovery of precious metals and platinum-group metals (PGMs) as valuable byproducts. Wet chlorination is hydrometallurgical process that involves the use of H₂O₂ and HCl for recovering these metals. The present study investigated the leaching behavior of not only gold and PGMs but also a range of impurity elements in the wet chlorination using both thermodynamic calculations and laboratory wet chlorination tests. The stable species of all elements present in the decopperized anode slime were identified in the Pourbaix diagram (Eh-pH diagrams) constructed. The results generally agreed with those reported in the literature, even though some species reported were not identifiable due to a lack of relevant thermodynamic data. The major findings of the laboratory wet chlorination tests were summarized as follows. Antimony played an important role in the behavior of impurity elements. The oxidation of antimony from Sb(III) to Sb(V) occurred in the ORP range of 600 - 700 mV, causing the precipitation of Sb(V) together with arsenic and bismuth as arsenato antimonates. The extractions of arsenic, antimony, bismuth, and tin were initially independent of but later affected by the rate of H₂O₂ addition due to the removal of antimony (V) from solution via precipitation of arsenato antimonates. The extraction of arsenic, antimony, bismuth, and tin increased with the leaching temperature. The extractions of arsenic, bismuth, and tin were affected by acidity but not by the total chloride concentration. However, the antimony extraction was affected by not only the proton concentration but also the chloride concentration. Simple alkaline leaching without H₂O₂ addition was shown to be possibly effective to remove some impurity elements, especially tellurium, arsenic, and tin, prior to the extraction of gold and PGMs.

description: Galaxy-galaxy mergers and close interactions have long been regarded as a viable mechanism for channeling gas toward the central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of galaxies which are triggered as active galactic nuclei (AGNs). AGN pairs, in which the central SMBHs of a galaxy merger are both active, are expected to be common from such events. We conduct a systematic study of 1286 AGN pairs at z ~ 0.1 with line-of-sight velocity offsets dv < 600 km/s and projected separations r_p < 100 kpc, selected from the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This AGN pair sample was drawn from 138,070 AGNs optically identified based on diagnostic emission line ratios and/or line widths. The fraction of AGN pairs with 5 kpc ~< r_p < 100 kpc among all spectroscopically selected AGNs at 0.02 < z < 0.16 is 3.6% after correcting for SDSS spectroscopic incompleteness; ~ 30% of these pairs show morphological tidal features in their SDSS images, and the fraction becomes >~ 80% for pairs with the brightest nuclei. Our sample increases the number of known AGN pairs on these scales by more than an order of magnitude. We present their AGN and host-galaxy star formation properties in a companion paper.

Testing two-component jet models of GRBs with orphan afterglows

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: In the \swift era, two-component jet models were introduced to explain the complex temporal profiles and the diversity of early afterglows. In this paper, we concentrate on the two-component jet model; first component is the conventional afterglow and second is the emission due to the late internal dissipation such as the late-prompt emission. We suggest herein that the two-component jet model can be probed by the existence of two optical peaks for orphan GRB afterglows. Each peak is caused by its respective jet as its relativistic beaming cone widens to encompass the off-axis line of sight. Typically, the first peak appears at $10^4-10^5$ s and the second at $10^5-10^6$ s. Furthermore, we expect to observe a single, bright X-ray peak at the same time as the first optical peak. Because orphan afterglows do not have prompt emission, it is necessary to monitor the entire sky every $10^4$ s in the X-ray regime. We can test the model with orphan afterglows through the X-ray all-sky survey collaboration and by using ground-based optical telescopes.

Effective coupling parameter for 2D Yukawa liquids and non-invasive measurement of plasma parameters

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: We derive an effective coupling parameter for two-dimensional Yukawa systems based on the height of the first maximum of the pair distribution function. Two variants -- one valid in the high-coupling range, the other for arbitrary couplings of the liquid -- are derived. Comparison to previous approaches to Yukawa coupling parameters shows that the present concept is more general and more accurate. Using, in addition, dynamical information contained in the velocity autocorrelation function, we outline a reference data method that can be employed as a non-invasive measurement scheme of the plasma parameters -- the coupling strength and the screening length. This approach requires only input from a time-series of configuration snapshots and particle velocities with no recourse to additional information about the system. Our results should be directly applicable as a simple, yet reliable diagnostic method for a variety of experiments, including dusty plasmas, colloidal suspensions and ions in traps, and can be employed to facilitate comparisons between experiments, theory and simulations.
title: Nuclearization and stability in the Middle East
Creators: name: Elgoraish, G. A
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This study deals with nuclear development and policies in Israel and the Arab States and the associated risks of nuclear war. It is an attempt to analyse and explain nuclear proliferation in the Arab-Israeli conflict area in terms of a behavioural model and motivations to go nuclear. It traces the development of the international nuclear industry since the 1950s using the product life cycle theory as an explanatory and likely predictor of the spread of nuclear technology to the Middle East. It charts nuclear development and policies in Israel and the Arab states and explains the dominant motivations which might drive these countries to develop and deploy nuclear weapons. It draws a distinction between nuclear technology spread as a technological and economic process and nuclear weapons proliferation as a politico-military process. It connects and interrelates technological and political factors of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East since proliferation is the product of technology and politics. The nuclearization of the Arab-Israeli conflict area entailed several risks of nuclear war. The study attempts to ascertain and assess the likelihood of these risks based on past experience and a survey of expert opinion. It identifies three levels of risks originating inside and outside the Middle East. The first level deals with nuclear risks in the Middle East. The second level focuses on the likely responses of the Superpowers to nuclearization of the Middle East. The third level discusses the impact of a nuclear conflict in the Middle East on the Superpower strategic balance. The implications of this nuclearization on the Arab Israeli conflict are discussed in terms of the nature of the conflict, the logic of deterrence and the risks involved. The evidence points clearly to nuclear proliferation increasing instability in the Middle East but not necessarily to a nuclear catastrophe.

description: We live in a world dominated by microorganisms that encode a vast yet still largely unexplored diversity of metabolic functions. Using function-driven approaches it is possible to mine this diversity for both basic science insights and industrial applications. In this thesis, a functional metagenomic screening paradigm using large-insert environmental DNA (fosmid) library pool selection was developed in Escherichia coli EPI300 background enabling users to design and build pool selection experiments, sequence pooled clones, assemble and annotate resulting sequences and begin to characterize activities of interest encoded within pools. Tests were conducted on a collection of nine fosmid libraries to select for conversion or tolerance traits enabling growth in the presence of inhibitory concentrations of vanillin to identify biological parts useful in design of industrial chassis for lignin valorization. Relevant fitness traits related to monoaromatic conversion as well as tolerance to monoaromatic compounds, including stress responses, transporters and cell surface modification functions were recovered. Based on these results, a larger selection experiment was conducted using seven lignin-derived monoaromatic compounds. Comparative analysis of enrichment pools revealed that the same clones were recovered on multiple aromatic compounds consistent with the presence of genes encoding non-specific tolerance traits. Efforts to grow fosmid pools on lignin-derived monoaromatics as sole carbon sources were unsuccessful pointing to workflow modifications including adoption of new screening hosts, overexpression of transporters and regulatory elements, or the insertion of genes in E. coli EPI300 encoding upstream or downstream conversion steps within multi-component catabolic pathways. Finally, the screening paradigm was extended to search for hydrocarbon tolerance phenotypes using toluene in three fosmid pools sourced from anaerobic hydrocarbon degrading enrichment cultures resulting in recovery of fitness traits including transport and cell surface modification. Pool growth was unstable prompting a time course experiment to better constrain pool diversity and dynamics. Fosmid pool sequencing recovered numerous genes encoding tolerance traits that varied between initial and later exposure phases consistent with clone succession. Looking ahead, integration of high-throughput functional metagenomics with strain engineering promises to promote functional characterization and these biological parts and will ultimately inform the development of microbial cell factories for sustainable biotechnology innovation.

description: This paper studies the Laplacian spectral characterization of some graph products. We consider a class of connected graphs: $\mathscr{G}={G : |EG|\leq|VG|+1}$, and characterize all graphs $G\in\mathscr{G}$ such that the products $G\times K_m$ are $L$-DS graphs. The main result of this paper states that, if $G\in\mathscr{G}$, except for $C_{6}$ and $Θ_{3,2,5}$, is $L$-DS graph, so is the product $G\times K_{m}$. In addition, the $L$-cospectral graphs with $C_{6}\times K_{m}$ and $Θ_{3,2,5}\times K_{m}$ have been found.
description: 19 pages, we showed that several types of graph product are determined by their Laplacian spectra
Quantum measurements on finite dimensional systems: relabeling and mixing

description: Concentrating on finite dimensional systems, we show that one can limit to extremal rank-1 POVMs if two simple procedures of mixing and relabeling are permitted. We demonstrate that any finite outcome POVM can be obtained from extremal rank-1 POVMs with these two procedures. In particular, extremal POVMs with higher rank are just relabelings of extremal rank-1 POVMs and their structure is therefore clarified.

description: We attempt to give a holographic description of the microscopic theory of a BCS superconductor. Exploiting the analogy with chiral symmetry breaking in QCD we use the Sakai-Sugimoto model of two D8 branes in a D4 brane background with finite baryon number. In this case there is a new tachyonic instability which is plausibly the bulk analog of the Cooper pairing instability. We analyze the Yang-Mills approximation to the non-Abelian Born-Infeld action. We give some exact solutions of the non-linear Yang-Mills equations in flat space and also give a stability analysis, showing that the instability disappears in the presence of an electric field. The holograhic picture also suggests a dependence of $T_c$ on the number density which is different from the usual (weak coupling) BCS. The flat space solutions are then generalized to curved space numerically and also, in an approximate way, analytically. This configuration should then correspond to the ground state of the boundary superconducting (superfluid) ground state. We also give some preliminary results on Green functions computations in the Sakai - Sugimoto model without any chemical potential

description: The nature of blood as a suspension of red blood cells makes computational hemodynamics a demanding task. Our coarse-grained blood model, which builds on a lattice Boltzmann method for soft particle suspensions, enables the study of the collective behavior of the order of 10^6 cells in suspension. After demonstrating the viscosity measurement in Kolmogorov flow, we focus on the statistical analysis of the cell orientation and rotation in Couette flow. We quantify the average inclination with respect to the flow and the nematic order as a function of shear rate and hematocrit. We further record the distribution of rotation periods around the vorticity direction and find a pronounced peak in the vicinity of the theoretical value for free model cells even though cell-cell interactions manifest themselves in a substantial width of the distribution.

description: Homogeneous rotation symmetric Boolean functions have been extensively studied in recent years because of their applications in cryptography. Little is known about the basic question of when two such functions are affine equivalent. The simplest case of quadratic rotation symmetric functions which are generated by cyclic permutations of the variables in a single monomial was only settled in 2009. This paper studies the much more complicated cubic case for such functions. A new concept of \emph{patterns} is introduced, by means of which the structure of the smallest group G_n, whose action on the set of all such cubic functions in $n$ variables gives the affine equivalence classes for these functions under permutation of the variables, is determined. We conjecture that the equivalence classes are the same if all nonsingular affine transformations, not just permutations, are allowed. This conjecture is verified if n < 22. Our method gives much more information about the equivalence classes; for example, in this paper we give a complete description of the equivalence classes when n is a prime or a power of 3.
description: This is the author's version of a manuscript which has been accepted by Information Sciences. The ancillary Mathematica file contains a program which computes the equivalence classes described in the paper, given n = number of variables
