description: We develop the General Theory of Relativity in a formalism with extended causality that describes physical interaction through discrete, transversal and localized pointlike fields. The homogeneous field equations are then solved for a finite, singularity-free, point-like field that we associate to a ``classical graviton". The standard Einstein's continuous formalism is retrieved by means of an averaging process, and its continuous solutions are determined by the chosen imposed symetry. The Schwarzschild metric is obtained by the imposition of spherical symmetry on the averaged field.

Year: 1987
Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: This paper presents a demand-side rationalization for the policy of prohibiting firms from setting prices below marginal cost. A monopoly model is presented in which future demand for the product depends on the level of current investment by consumers in capital which is used in conjunction with the product. The higher the current price, the lower the equilibrium investment in capital and the lower the future equilibrium price. Due to this tradeoff, consumers may benefit from policy intervention to increase the current price. Conditions are found under which the policy of prohibiting prices below cost is welfare improving.

description: We propose a model for co-evolving ecosystems that takes into account two levels of description of an organism, for instance genotype and phenotype. Performance at the macroscopic level forces mutations at the microscopic level. These, in turn, affect the dynamics of the macroscopic variables. In some regions of parameter space, the system self-organises into a state with localised activity and power law distributions.

description: We discuss the Chern number spectrum of ultra-cold fermions in square optical lattices as a function of artificial magnetic, Zeeman and spin-orbit fields that can be tuned independently. We show the existence of topological quantum phase transitions induced by Zeeman and spin-orbit fields, where the total number and chirality of edge states change for fixed magnetic flux ratio, thus leading to topological-insulator phases which are different from those found at zero Zeeman and spin-orbit fields. We construct phase diagrams of chemical potential versus Zeeman field or spin-orbit coupling and characterize all insulating phases by their topological invariants. Lastly, we obtain a staircase structure in the filling factor versus chemical potential for various Zeeman and spin-orbit fields, showing the existence of incompressible states at rational filling factors derived from a generalized Diophantine equation.

description: In this thesis, the artist examines emotion in the context of art history, art creation, and personal experience. The wood-fired sculpture created for this body of work explores the ability to express emotions, utilizing the human female torso as a blank canvas. The choice of clay body, alteration of the form, firing process, and surface aesthetic treatments confront the emotions of love, grief, maternal joy, pain, the process of aging, emptiness, resilience, and rage. The creative process in each work is a metaphor for the unspoken emotions.

description: The study of superconductor-ferromagnet interfaces has generated great interest in the last decades, leading to the observation of spin-aligned triplet supercurrents and 0-pi transitions in Josephson junctions where two superconductors are separated by an itinerant ferromagnet. Recently, spin-filter Josephson junctions with ferromagnetic barriers have shown unique transport properties, when compared to standard metallic ferromagnetic junctions, due to the intrinsically nondissipative nature of the tunneling process. Here we present the first extensive characterization of spin polarized Josephson junctions down to 0.3 K, and the first evidence of an incomplete 0-pi transition in highly spin polarized tunnel ferromagnetic junctions. Experimental data are consistent with a progressive enhancement of the magnetic activity with the increase of the barrier thickness, as neatly captured by the simplest theoretical approach including a nonuniform exchange field. For very long junctions, unconventional magnetic activity of the barrier points to the presence of spin-triplet correlations.

description: In my forthcoming book Sovereign Story I examine the Calvinist-Arminian debate from the perspective of the biblical narrative, the Kingdom of God. It is my assertion that both sides have missed crucial points in the debate because they have not dealt with Scripture in its narrative framework. This paper focuses on debates between Jesus and the Pharisees and calls attention to the way John presents Jesus in them. In looking at this context, it calls into question the debates on Irresistible Grace that are promoted in John 6:44-45 and 12:32 and seeks to provide an explanation that is more “at home” in the theological environment of the first century than in the environment created by theologians in the 16th-17th centuries.

description: Curriculum learning in reinforcement learning is a training methodology that seeks to speed up learning of a difficult target task, by first training on a series of simpler tasks and transferring the knowledge acquired to the target task. Automatically choosing a sequence of such tasks (i.e. a curriculum) is an open problem that has been the subject of much recent work in this area. In this paper, we build upon a recent method for curriculum design, which formulates the curriculum sequencing problem as a Markov Decision Process. We extend this model to handle multiple transfer learning algorithms, and show for the first time that a curriculum policy over this MDP can be learned from experience. We explore various representations that make this possible, and evaluate our approach by learning curriculum policies for multiple agents in two different domains. The results show that our method produces curricula that can train agents to perform on a target task as fast or faster than existing methods.

description: Semileptonic, B --> pi, l nubar, decays are studied on quenched anisotropic lattices using tree-level tadpole improved Symanzik glue, NRQCD heavy quark and D234 light quark actions. Constrained fitting methods are applied to extract groundstate contributions to two-point and three-point correlators. We agree with previous lattice determinations of the form factors. The major source of systematic error here, as in previous work, comes from the chiral extrapolation to the physical pion mass. Future calculations must work at lighter quark masses to resolve this.

description: The D-dimensional cosmological model on the manifold $M = R \times M_{1} \times M_{2}$ describing the evolution of 2 Einsteinian factor spaces, $M_1$ and $M_2$, in the presence of multicomponent perfect fluid source is considered. The barotropic equation of state for mass-energy densities and the pressures of the components is assumed in each space. When the number of the non Ricci-flat factor spaces and the number of the perfect fluid components are both equal to 2, the Einstein equations for the model are reduced to the generalized Emden-Fowler (second-order ordinary differential) equation, which has been recently investigated by Zaitsev and Polyanin within discrete-group analysis. Using the integrable classes of this equation one generates the integrable cosmological models. The corresponding metrics are presented. The method is demonstrated for the special model with Ricci-flat spaces $M_1,M_2$ and the 2-component perfect fluid source.

description: Radical cyclizations have been proven to be extremely important in organic synthesis. However, their reliance on toxic trialkyltin hydrides has precluded their practical applications in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Many tin hydride substitutes have been suggested but none of them are adequate alternates to the traditional tin reagent.
      Transition-metal hydrides have been shown to catalyze the hydrogenation and hydroformylation of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds. Theses reactions begin with a Hydrogen Atom Transfer (HAT) from a metal to an olefin, generating a carbon-centered radical. The cyclization of that radical is an effective route to five- and six-membered rings. The HAT will be fastest if the M–H bond is weak. However, making the reaction catalytic will require that the hydride can be regenerated with H2. HCr(CO)3Cp has proven to be a good catalyst for such cyclizations, but it suffers from air sensitivity. The yield of the cyclization product depends on how the rate of radical cyclization compares with the rates of side reactions (hydrogenation and isomerization), so special substituents on a substrate are best installed to increase the cyclization rate.
      In attempting to improve the efficiency of radical cyclization I have studied the effect of substituents on the target double bond on the rate of cyclization. A single phenyl substituent has proven to stabilize a radical better than two phenyls. This stabilization leads to faster cyclizations and a higher cyclization yield.
      I also have found that Co(dmgBF2)L2 (L = THF, H2O, MeOH…) under H2 is an effective hydrogen atom donor. I have monitored by NMR the catalysis by the system of the hydrogenation of stable radicals (trityl radical and TEMPO radical) and found the rate-determining step to be the activation of hydrogen gas by CoII. The reactive form of the complex is five-coordinated cobalt complex Co(dmgBF2)2L.
      The Co/H2 system can also transfer hydrogen atom to C=C bonds, thus initiate radical cyclizations. The resting state of the cobalt is the CoII metalloradical, so a cycloisomerization is obtained. Such a reaction neither loses nor adds any atom and has 100% atom economy.

description: Collapses of dynamical systems into irrecoverable states are observed in ecosystems, human societies, financial systems and network infrastructures. Despite their widespread occurrence and impact, these events remain largely unpredictable. In searching for the causes for collapse and instability, theoretical investigations have so far been unable to determine quantitatively the influence of the structural features of the network formed by the interacting species. Here, we derive the condition for the stability of a mutualistic ecosystem as a constraint on the strength of the dynamical interactions between species and a topological invariant of the network: the k-core. Our solution predicts that when species located at the maximum k-core of the network go extinct, as a consequence of sufficiently weak interaction strengths, the system will reach the tipping point of its collapse. As a key variable involved in collapse phenomena, monitoring the k-core of the network may prove a powerful method to anticipate catastrophic events in the vast context that stretches from ecological and biological networks to finance.

description: We analyze the dynamics of dissipation and relaxation in the unbroken and broken symmetry phases of scalar theory in the nonlinear regime for large initial energy densities, and after linear unstabilities (parametric or spinodal) are shut-off by the quantum backreaction. A new time scale emerges that separates the linear from the non-linear regimes. This scale is non- perturbative in the coupling and initial amplitude. The non-perturbative evolution is studied in the large the N limit for the O(N) vector model. A combination of numerical analysis and the multitime scale analysis reveals the presence of unstable bands in the nonlinear regime. These are associated with power law growth of quantum fluctuations, that result in power law relaxation and dissipation with non-universal and non-perturbative dynamical anomalous exponents.We find substantial particle production during this non-linear evolu- tion which is of the same order as that in the linear regime. The expectation value of the scalar field vanishes asymptotically transferring all of the initial energy into produced particles via the non-linear resonances in the unbroken symmetry phase.The effective mass for the quantum modes tends asympto- tically to a constant plus oscillating O(1/t) terms. This slow decay causes the power behaviour in the modes which become free for t=infty. We derive a simple expression for the equation of state for the fluid of produced particles that interpolates between radiation-type and dust-type equations according to the initial value of the order parameter for unbroken symmetry. For broken symmetry the produced particles are massless Goldstone bosons with a radiation-type equation of state. We find the onset of a novel form of dynamical Bose condensation in the collisionless regime in the absence of thermalization.

An assessment of GHG emissions of two organic waste processing options for UBC

description: In our study, we evaluate two food waste processing options for the University of British Columbia for emissions of greenhouse gasses. We considered an on-campus option based on the existing UBC in-vessel aerobic composting system, and an off-campus option based on an anaerobic digestion system located in Richmond, BC that generates energy from biogas. We found that of the two options we considered, the off-campus anaerobic digestion option had net 52 tonnes lower CO2e emissions than the on-campus option based on the emission factors and assumptions we used. We found that emissions from food waste diverted to landfill for the on-campus option and carbon stored in soil from compost were the most significant factors affecting emissions. We further found that emissions related to transportation were minor relative to other emissions as were emissions from electricity used for the on-campus facility. We conclude that both options provide significant reductions relative to sending food waste to regional waste disposal facilities. We recommend that UBC consider the benefits of including a waste sorting system to reduce or eliminate rejected food waste in any future processing options implemented by UBC. Further work could focus on completing energy and mass balances for the off-campus option, and determining associated emissions. A full life cycle analysis could consider the fate of all campus food waste (not just waste diverted to organic processing facilities) and evaluate a range of human health and environmental impact factors.

description: We present a behavioral compact model of 3D NAND flash memory for integrated circuits and system-level applications. This model is easy to implement, computationally efficient, fast, accurate and effectively accounts for the different parasitic capacitance coupling effects applicable to the 3D geometry of the vertical channel Macaroni body charge-trap flash memory. The model parameter extraction methodology is simple and can be extended to reproduce the electrical behavior of different 3D NAND flash memory architectures (with different page size, dimension, or number of stacked layers). We believe that the developed compact model would equip the circuit designers and system architects with an effective tool for design-exploration of 3D NAND flash memory devices for diverse unconventional analog applications.

Assessment of alternative water systems : final report

Year: 2015

description: Given the increasing demands for water conservation, some water systems have been designed to allow the use of rainwater and wastewater streams for non-potable uses within a building. Unfortunately, these alternative water systems usually encounter issues that led to them being shut off. This assessment examines the challenges and issues of several alternative water systems within the region around the University of British Columbia to inform the university on future building projects on campus. The alternative water systems were analyzed from interview questions from four case studies based on six factors that are believed to be influential to the successful implementation of an alternative water system. These factors include cost, reliability, commissioning, operations and maintenance, occupant education, and occupant perception of the water system. While the main operation (water treatment) was done very well due to regulatory pressure, many other aspects of the implementation of the alternative water system that supports the operation is somewhat lacking. Together, these factors lead to large issues that irritated occupants, or major cost in repairs to bring the system back to expected operational parameters. From the analysis, appropriate recommendations are given to support future implementation of alternative water systems at the University of British Columbia.

description: This dissertation studies the encounter of the Sharī‘a or Islamic law with capitalist modernity in South Asia. Focusing on the Deobandī clerical community in Pakistan, it studies their juristic and ethical contestations over the project of tailoring Islamic law to suit the needs of modern finance. The dissertation is based on a textually informed ethnography of Deobandīs working as jurists (muftīs) in madrasas and as Sharī‘a Advisors in Islamic banks. It closely reads texts of Islamic commercial law and follows their movements within an institutional network of religious seminaries and financial corporations. In doing so, it documents interactive labors of scriptural interpretation and financial engineering that in turn translate classical Islamic contracts into modern, “Sharī‘a Compliant” financial instruments. The central argument of Translating Capital is that Sharī‘a Compliance secularizes Islamic commercial law by reengineering its discursive and disciplinary technologies according to logics of market governance. As polysemous texts of the Sharī‘a are formatted into standardized codes of financial conduct, Sharī‘a Compliance authorizes new financial disciplines that transform pious devotees of tradition into pragmatic calculative agents of the market. Translating Capital intervenes in key theoretical debates in Islamic legal studies, postcolonial theory, the anthropology of religion, and poststructuralism by tracing textual entanglements between scripture and finance. Further, it substitutes functionalist explanations for the resurgence of religion in a secular age with a fine-grained analysis of religious improvisation grounded in texts and ethnography. Finally, it provincializes Eurocentric narratives of secularization by investigating the seductive appeal of markets as a model for Islamic reform in postcolonial Muslim societies.

description: This study explored diverse students’ literacy development in Grades 3–5 in a literacy club. It also served as a self-study to examine how I developed and facilitated this literacy club. This study focused on a group of diverse students engaged in a literacy club across two study phases. The first phase consisted of an after-school literacy club pre-COVID-19 and the second phase occurred in an online literacy club during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings from this study suggest that diverse students benefited from co-creating the literacy events in the literacy club. Students developed their literacy through socioculturaly engaging literacy activities, which enabled them to have choice and ownership of their literacy events. Students learned from and through their peer collaboration and dialogic exchanges around culturally relevant topics to include social justice, racism, and inequity to promote their literacy development. Students benefited from opportunities to discuss their own cultural identities and use their rich socio-cultural and lived experiences to foster their literacy development. Additionally, findings suggest that these diverse students applied multimodal literacies as tools to further their literacy development. This study contributes to the current research related to literacy development, diverse students, culturally responsive pedagogy, and literacy practices in elementary schools.

description: We present an experimental analysis of the linear and non-linear regimes of an attractor of inertial waves in a trapezoidal cavity under rotation. Varying the rotation rate and the forcing amplitude and wavelength, we identify the scaling laws followed by the attractor amplitude and wavelength in both regimes. In particular, we show that the non-linear scaling laws can be well described by replacing the fluid viscosity in the linear model by a turbulent viscosity, a result that could help extrapolating attractor theory to geo/astrophysically relevant situations. We further study the triadic resonance instability of the attractor which is at the origin of the turbulent viscosity. We show that the typical frequencies of the subharmonic waves produced by the instability behaves very differently from previously reported numerical results and from the prediction of the theory of triadic resonance. This behavior might be related to the deviation from horizontal invariance of the attractor in our experiment in relation with the presence of vertical walls of the cavity, an effect that should be at play in all practical situations.

description: Se presentan los primeros resultados del proyecto “Tejiendo identidades. Recuperación del patrimonio inmaterial ancestral”, cuyo objetivo principal es la creación y difusión de un inventario documental fotográfico, audiovisual y de testimonios orales sobre la labor de las tejedoras de la localidad de Amaná, Provincia de La Rioja, Argentina. Asimismo, se propone un análisis antropológico y patrimonial sobre la tradición textil, su protección, su rescate y su puesta en valor turística. A partir de una metodología que incluyó entrevistas y el registro de las producciones textiles se obtuvo información respecto a las técnicas, herramientas y materias primas que emplean las tejedoras, además de sus historias, creencias y anhelos. Por otro lado, se diagnosticó el panorama futuro respecto a la potencial transmisión de saberes en las generaciones más jóvenes, y el fomento del turismo. De esta forma, la labor constituye una base de datos significativa que contribuye a la puesta en valor de las tradiciones de las tejedoras en el marco del patrimonio provincial y nacional, al reconocimiento sociocultural de sus prácticas, y al diseño futuro de circuitos turísticos que contemplen las tradiciones técnicas y los productos finales.

description: Symmetry-breaking phase transitions may leave behind topological defects \cite{Kibble} with a density dependent on the quench rate \cite{Zurek}. We investigate the dynamics of such quenches for the one-dimensional, Landau-Ginzburg case and show that the density of kinks, $n$, scales differently with the quench timescale, $τ_Q$, depending on whether the dynamics in the vicinity of the critical point is overdamped ($n \propto τ_Q^{-1/4}$) or underdamped ($n \propto τ_Q^{-1/3}$). Either of these cases may be relevant to the early Universe, and we derive bounds on the initial density of topological defects in cosmological phase transitions.

description: The nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond exhibits spin-dependent fluorescence and long spin coherence times under ambient conditions, enabling applications in quantum information processing and sensing. NV centers near the surface can have strong interactions with external materials and spins, enabling new forms of nanoscale spectroscopy. However, NV spin coherence degrades within 100 nanometers of the surface, suggesting that diamond surfaces are plagued with ubiquitous defects. Prior work on characterizing near-surface noise has primarily relied on using NV centers themselves as probes; while this has the advantage of exquisite sensitivity, it provides only indirect information about the origin of the noise. Here we demonstrate that surface spectroscopy methods and single spin measurements can be used as complementary diagnostics to understand sources of noise. We find that surface morphology is crucial for realizing reproducible chemical termination, and use these insights to achieve a highly ordered, oxygen-terminated surface with suppressed noise. We observe NV centers within 10 nm of the surface with coherence times extended by an order of magnitude.

description: Be visible or vanish is a long held mantra for researchers. For the contemporary researcher however, this is no longer just about publications.
It is becoming increasingly important to build a profile that reflects the variety and complexity of your research outputs and impact.
Graduate Research Students can start building their research profile and demonstrating the impact of their research with the University’s data repository Bridges.
This document provides some tips on how graduate research students at Monash University can use Bridges to start promoting their research and themselves as researchers.

Abstraction in literature

description: Haiti’s public image has long vacillated between extremes: from democratic beacon to shadow of insurrection; from space of racial uplift to pit of economic exploitation; from bearer of Enlightenment ideals to dark land of “voodoo.” Indeed the two taglines most commonly associated with Haiti are: “first black republic” and “poorest country in the Western hemisphere.” These opposing taglines fit within a critical paradigm that has long viewed Haiti in terms of example (as a site of universal emancipation and racial equality) and exception (or, in Michel-Rolph Trouillot’s memorable words, the notion that Haiti is “unnatural, erratic, and therefore unexplainable.”) This dissertation engages these two competing figures of Haitian exemplarity and Haitian exceptionalism in early 19th-century literatures of the black Americas. In doing so, I examine Haiti both as an imagined space and as a site of literary production whose products circulated in various and sometimes misleading translations. This network of what I call “translations of Haiti’ re-navigate, and mark with difference, traditional narratives of race and nation.
      My project reveals how the idea of Haiti flickered through many complex forms in the early 19th-century. Some of these forms fall into the rubric of exception/example but others do not: from sister in democracy, to vanguard of black internationalism, to potential site of exploitation, to occasion for domestic reflection. By nuancing the binary between example and exception, I question critical accounts that depict early representations of the first black republic as either symptomatic of white anxieties or an ideal site for the realization of black nationalist projects. These accounts, I argue, often overlook how national and racial categories failed to overlap; they occlude Haitian (and especially Kreyòl) literary production; and, most importantly, they ignore the complex transnational movements occasioned by this production. I argue that when we consider translation as a metaphor (for example, the notion of translation as an analogical model or heuristic) we must also consider translation as a practice with material consequences. I negotiate between Haiti’s powerful abstraction(s) and a material network of constantly circulating, translated and re-translated texts. These texts, I argue, provoked fears and anxieties, but also speculations, hopes, and visions amongst constantly changing constituents of groups that may or may not be usefully labeled (for example, free U.S. blacks; mulâtres; noirs; U.S. northerners; etc.) Using this shifting international stage as a point of departure, “Translated Subjects” takes Haitian cultural production seriously – that is to say, as more than a convenient metaphor – to reveal new channels of literary exchange.
Proposal to recover an extensive ground state degeneracy in a two-dimensional square array of nanomagnets

description: We investigate numerically the micromagnetic properties and the low-energy physics of an artificial square spin system in which the nanomagnets are physically connected at the lattice vertices. Micromagnetic simulations reveal that the energy stored at the vertex sites strongly depends on the type of magnetic domain wall formed by the four connected nanomagnets. As a consequence, the energy gap between the vertex types can be partially modified by varying the geometrical parameters of the nanomagnets, such as their width and thickness. Based on the energy levels given by the micromagnetic simulations, we compute the thermodynamic properties of the corresponding spin models using Monte Carlo simulations. We found two regimes, both being characterized by an extensive ground state manifold, in sharp contrast with similar lattices with disconnected nanomagnets. For narrow and thin nanomagnets, low-energy spin configurations consist of independent ferromagnetic straight lines crossing the whole lattice. The ground state manifold is thus highly degenerate, although this degeneracy is subdominant. In the limit of thick and wide nanomagnets, our findings suggest that the celebrated square ice model may be fabricated experimentally from a simple square lattice of connected elements. These results show that the micromagnetic nature of artificial spin systems involves another degree of freedom that can be finely tuned to explore strongly correlated disordered magnetic states of matter.

description: Historically, education has been used as a tool of assimilation towards Indigenous Peoples. Representing a shift away from this, in recent years, many countries in Latin America have adopted Intercultural Bilingual Education, promoting Indigenous Peoples’ rights to education in their languages and respective to their cultures. Mexico in particular, establishes Intercultural Bilingual Education as a right of all Indigenous Peoples in various laws and the Constitution of Mexico City protects this right for its Indigenous population. This study investigates the extent to which Indigenous Peoples’ rights to education, as outlined in international human rights instruments and reinforced in Mexican law, are implemented in Mexico City, accounting for its growing urban Indigenous population. Through semi-structured interviews with government officials as well as with directors and teachers from a public primary school in Mexico City, this study illustrates the role the state and educators play in the implementation of Intercultural Bilingual Education. The findings presented in the study suggest the significance of Indigenous Peoples and educators in this process, in comparison with the Mexican government, whose improved measures can help increase urban Indigenous students’ access to their education rights.

description: We performed dynamical simulations with HYP smeared staggered fermions using the recently proposed partial-global stochastic Metropolis algorithm with fermion matrix reduction and determinant breakup improvements. In this paper we discuss our choice of the action parameters and study the autocorrelation time both with four and two fermionic flavors at different quark mass values on approximately 10 fm^4 lattices. We find that the update is especially efficient with two flavors making simulations on larger volumes feasible.
