description: Monte Carlo algorithms such as the Wang-Landau algorithm and similar `entropic' methods are able to accurately sample the density of states of model systems and thereby give access to thermal equilibrium properties at any temperature. Thermal equilibrium is however not achievable at low temperatures in glassy systems. Such systems are characterized by a multitude of metastable configurations, pictorially referred to as `valleys' of an energy landscape. Geometrical properties of the landscape, e.g. the local density of states describing the distribution in energy of the states belonging to a single valley, are key to understand the dynamical properties of such systems. In this paper we combine the lid algorithm, a tool for landscape exploration previously applied to a range of models, with the Wang-Swendsen algorithm. To test this improved exploration tool, we consider a paradigmatic complex system, the Edwards-Andersom model in two and three spatial dimension. We find a striking difference between the energy dependence of the local density of states in the two cases: nearly flat in the first case, and nearly exponential in the second. The lid dependence of the data is analyzed to estimate the form of the global density of states.

Subjects: Forest biodiversity

description: Deadwood plays a critical role in the functioning of forest ecosystems and maintaining biodiversity. The deadwood in the forests of Bangladesh is almost absent due to the scarcity of fuelwood. On the other hand, biodiversity loss occurs in Bangladesh at an alarming rate. The study aimed to assess how deadwood can enrich biodiversity in Bangladesh. Based on the respondents' perceptions, it was revealed that deadwood conservation in the natural habitats can increase the abundance of chickadees, Streak-breasted Woodpecker, Fairy bluebirds, leafbirds, common kestrels, magpie robins, Bay woodpeckers, Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch, etc. The endangered small mammals and amphibians can be increased through morticulture. Simultaneously, the decayed deadwood adds organic matter to the forest soil which in turn promotes the natural succession of many plant species. With the support of the key informants, approaches for deadwood conservation in Bangladesh were developed.

description: Twisted torus knots and links are given by twisting adjacent strands of a torus link. They are geometrically simple and contain many examples of the smallest volume hyperbolic knots. Many are also Lorenz links. We study the geometry of twisted torus links and related generalizations. We determine upper bounds on their hyperbolic volumes that depend only on the number of strands being twisted. We exhibit a family of twisted torus knots for which this upper bound is sharp, and another family with volumes approaching infinity. Consequently, we show there exist twisted torus knots with arbitrarily large braid index and yet bounded volume.

description: We derive an U(1) effective theory of color confinement by applying the so-called Julia-Toulouse Approach for defects condensation to the SU(2) restricted gauge theory defined by means of the Cho decomposition of the non-abelian connection. Cho's geometric construction naturally displays the topological degrees of freedom of the theory and can be used to put the Yang-Mills action into an abelianized form under certain conditions. On the other hand, the use of the Julia-Toulouse prescription to deal with the monopole condensation leads to an effective action describing the phase whose dynamics is dominated by the magnetic condensate. The effective theory we found describes the interaction between external electric currents displaying a short-range Yukawa interaction plus a linear confinement term that governs the long distance physics.

VAFB-2021-34: Letter Report: Results of Archaeological Surface and Subsurface Survey in Support of the Proposed Building 1810 Septic System Replacement, Vandenberg Space Force Base, California
Creators: name: Zalud, Arianna
Year: 2021

description: This document is a letter report for the Proposed Building 1810 Septic System Replacement project on Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. The report provides a brief description of the project and describes that it will require excavation within an approximately 2,500-square-foot (210-square-meter) area to a depth of approximately 3 feet (1 meter) in order to remove the existing 1,000-gallon septic tank and sewer leach field and install a new 3,000-gallon septic tank and leach field. The work is required to support current Building 1810 activities and because the existing tank needs to be replaced due to age. The Project area is partially within the previously recorded boundaries of prehistoric archaeological site CA-SBA-1060. The excavation of 10 shovel test pits yielded on 2 units that included some archaeological material. The report concludes that the project could have adverse effects near those units and recommends that project activities be limited to non-subsurface disturbance by a distance of 5 meters. The report also calls for the monitoring of all ground disturbing activity by an archaeological and Native American monitor during project execution.

Entanglement entropy in quantum spin chains with broken reflection symmetry

description: We investigate the entanglement entropy of a block of L sites in quasifree translation-invariant spin chains concentrating on the effect of reflection symmetry breaking. The majorana two-point functions corresponding to the Jordan-Wigner transformed fermionic modes are determined in the most general case; from these it follows that reflection symmetry in the ground state can only be broken if the model is quantum critical. The large L asymptotics of the entropy is calculated analytically for general gauge-invariant models, which has, until now, been done only for the reflection symmetric sector. Analytical results are also derived for certain non-gauge-invariant models, e.g., for the Ising model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. We also study numerically finite chains of length N with a non-reflection-symmetric Hamiltonian and report that the reflection symmetry of the entropy of the first L spins is violated but the reflection-symmetric Calabrese-Cardy formula is recovered asymptotically. Furthermore, for non-critical reflection-symmetry-breaking Hamiltonians, we find an anomaly in the behavior of the "saturation entropy" as we approach the critical line. The paper also provides a concise but extensive review of the block entropy asymptotics in translation invariant quasifree spin chains with an analysis of the nearest neighbor case and the enumeration of the yet unsolved parts of the quasifree landscape.

description: Spitzer Space Telescope photometry and spectroscopy of BD +20 307 show that all of the dust around this remarkable Gyr-old spectroscopic binary arises within 1 AU. No additional cold dust is needed to fit the infrared excess. Peaks in the 10 and 20 micron spectrum are well fit with small silicates that should be removed on a timescale of years from the system. This is the dustiest star known for its age, which is >1 Gyr. The dust cannot arise from a steady-state collisional cascade. A catastrophic collision of two rocky, planetary-scale bodies in the terrestrial zone is the most likely source for this warm dust because it does not require a reservoir of planetesimals in the outer system.

Can Bangladesh bring back the green cover through indigenous species plantation?
Creators: name: Rahman, Md Mizanur
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: Forest biodiversity

description: Per capita forestland in Bangladesh is declining at an alarming rate. The recurrent anthropogenic disturbances have rendered the natural forests inhospitable for the natural regeneration and growth of wild plant associates, causing a net loss of biodiversity. Instead of native species plantation, exotic species have become an increasingly important source of timber, which negatively impacts the natural habitats. Hence, the study explored different options for native species plantation based on habitat types and the level of degradation. It is revealed that natural succession is suitable for increasing the canopy coverage in natural forest areas. In the core and buffer zones of each forest natural regeneration should be facilitated to maintain the ecological balance and to ensure continuous forest coverage. In addition, direct seeding in the buffer zone and degraded forest areas can improve the naturalness. Advanced regeneration of rare or endangered species can protect the species from extinction. Very fast-growing and timbering native species should be planted in the encroached areas. The deep-rooted species can reinforce riverbanks against erosion better than the shallow-rooted ground cover. Trees with large canopies and deep roots can protect the coastal belt. Screw pine (Pandanus) can grow on dunes and has thick ‘prop roots’ to anchor itself in the loose sand. Tanguya plantation should consist of growing annual crops along with forest trees during the early establishment of forest plantations on the hills. Fast-growing and timbering trees can increase the green cover in the fallow land. The ornamental trees simultaneously can increase the green cover and beauty in urban areas.

description: This document is report for an inventory and limited awareness program that was undertaken to evaluate the potential impacts on cultural resources of two communications cable projects at VAFB. The inventory resulted in the discovery of five archaeological sites (4 prehistoric, 1 historic) and four cultural resource isolates. A limited assessment program was undertaken at the newly recorded sites (CA-SBA-1865H, 1866, 1867, 1868, and 1869) and at five previously identified sites (CA-SBA-513, 939, 940, 941, and 741) which were near the proposed cable alignments. The object of the testing was to gather additional information about sites believed to be potentially eligible for nomination to the NRHP and to recommend meausres to mitigate possible impacts.

The assessment program concurred with previous determinations that CA-SBA-939, 941, and 513 are signficant resources eligible for nomination to the NRHP. Newly recorded recorded sites CA-SBA-1865H and 1868 are also potentially eligible. Recommendations to avoid or mitigate impacts are offered to preserve these significant cultural resources.

description: Quantum cavities or dots have markedly different properties depending on whether their classical counterparts are chaotic or not. Connecting a superconductor to such a cavity leads to notable proximity effects, particularly the appearance, predicted by random matrix theory, of a hard gap in the excitation spectrum of quantum chaotic systems. Andreev billiards are interesting examples of such structures built with superconductors connected to a ballistic normal metal billiard since each time an electron hits the superconducting part it is retroreflected as a hole (and vice-versa). Using a semiclassical framework for systems with chaotic dynamics, we show how this reflection, along with the interference due to subtle correlations between the classical paths of electrons and holes inside the system, are ultimately responsible for the gap formation. The treatment can be extended to include the effects of a symmetry breaking magnetic field in the normal part of the billiard or an Andreev billiard connected to two phase shifted superconductors. Therefore we are able to see how these effects can remold and eventually suppress the gap. Furthermore the semiclassical framework is able to cover the effect of a finite Ehrenfest time which also causes the gap to shrink. However for intermediate values this leads to the appearance of a second hard gap - a clear signature of the Ehrenfest time.

description: Long range Rydberg blockade interactions have the potential for efficient implementation of quantum gates between multiple atoms. Here we present and analyze a protocol for implementation of a $k$-atom controlled NOT (C$_k$NOT) neutral atom gate. This gate can be implemented using sequential or simultaneous addressing of the control atoms which requires only $2k+3$ or 5 Rydberg $π$ pulses respectively. A detailed error analysis relevant for implementations based on alkali atom Rydberg states is provided which shows that gate errors less than 10% are possible for $k=35$.

description: We investigate the effect of knot type on the properties of a ring polymer confined to a slit. For relatively wide slits, the more complex the knot, the more the force exerted by the polymer on the walls is decreased compared to an unknotted polymer of the same length. For more narrow slits the opposite is true. The crossover between these two regimes is, to first order, at smaller slit width for more complex knots. However, knot topology can affect these trends in subtle ways. Besides the force exerted by the polymers, we also study other quantities such as the monomer-density distribution across the slit and the anisotropic radius of gyration.

Analysis and preconditioning of double saddle-point systems
Creators: name: Bradley, Susanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: This thesis deals with the mathematical analysis and numerical solution of double saddle-point systems. We derive bounds on the eigenvalues of a generic form of double saddle-point matrices with a positive definite leading block. The bounds are expressed in terms of extremal eigenvalues and singular values of the associated block matrices. Inertia and algebraic multiplicity of eigenvalues are considered as well. The analysis includes bounds for preconditioned matrices based on block diagonal preconditioners using Schur complements, and it is shown that in this case the eigenvalues are clustered within a few intervals bounded away from zero. Analysis for approximations of Schur complements is included. Some numerical observations validate our analytical findings. We also derive bounds on the eigenvalues of (classical) saddle-point matrices with singular leading blocks. The technique of proof is based on augmentation. Our bounds depend on the principal angles between the ranges or kernels of the matrix blocks. We use these analyses to derive a preconditioner for saddle-point systems with singular leading blocks. Our preconditioning approach is based on augmenting the leading block and using Schur complements of the augmented system. We show that the resulting preconditioned operator has four distinct eigenvalues, and numerical experiments validate the effectiveness of our approach. We then extend the preconditioner for saddle-point systems with a singular leading block to deal with double saddle-point systems with a singular leading block. The preconditioner is based on augmenting the leading block by a null matrix of one of the off-diagonal blocks, and using the Schur complements of the augmented system.

description: Recently $f(T)$ theories based on modifications of teleparallel gravity where torsion is the geometric object describing gravity instead of curvature have been proposed to explain the present cosmic accelerating expansion. The field equations are always second order, remarkably simpler than $f(R)$ theories. In analogy to the $f(R)$ theory, we consider here three types of $f(T)$ gravity, and find that all of them can give rise to cosmic acceleration with interesting features, respectively.

Subjects: Corporate social responsibility

description: In Bangladesh, greenwashing, eye washing and green lies go hand in hand. The study strived to identify the areas and ways where greenwashing occurs very frequently in Bangladesh. Empirical data was used in this study. Based on the respondents’ perceptions greenwashing occurs in food, beverage, cosmetics, medicine, brickfield, tourism and transportation sectors very often. The respondents provided policy interventions to control greenwashing. Enacting new laws, regulations and policies is warranted to monitor greenwashing and punish the companies that provide misleading environmental claims. Initiating green audits to evaluate the performances of the companies towards nature conservation is also advocated. Public awareness against misleading advertisements should be increased.

description: We present ground-based and HST optical and infrared observations of XRF 100316D / SN 2010bh. It is seen that the optical light curves of SN 2010bh evolve at a faster rate than the archetype GRB-SN 1998bw, but at a similar rate to SN 2006aj, a supernova that was spectroscopically linked with XRF 060218, and at a similar rate to non-GRB associated type Ic SN 1994I. We estimate the rest-frame extinction of this event from our optical data to be E(B-V)=0.18 +/- 0.08 mag. We find the V-band absolute magnitude of SN 2010bh to be M_{V}=-18.62 +/- 0.08, which is the faintest peak V-band magnitude observed to-date for a spectroscopically-confirmed GRB-SNe. When we investigate the origin of the flux at t-t_{o}=0.598 days, it is shown that the light is not synchrotron in origin, but is likely coming from the supernova shock break-out. We then use our optical and infrared data to create a quasi-bolometric light curve of SN 2010bh which we model with a simple analytical formula. The results of our modeling imply that SN 2010bh synthesized a nickel mass of M_{Ni} \approx 0.10 M_{sun}, ejected M_{ej} \approx 2.2 M_{sun} and has an explosion energy of E_{k} \approx 1.4 x 10^{52} erg. Finally, for a sample 22 GRB-SNe we check for a correlation between the stretch factors and luminosity factors in the R band and conclude that no statistically-significant correlation exists.

title: Global population distributions and the environment: discerning observed global and regional patterns
Creators: name: Nieves, Jeremiah
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2016

description: Between 1990 to 2015, numerous groups used ancillary data about the environment surrounding populations to more accurately map global populations from standard census data. No comprehensive study has been under taken to characterize the observed relationships between population density and ancillary data. Better understanding these relationships may produce more accurate population maps, focus resources on new datasets with a high probability of modelling importance, and lead to expanded end-user applications. This study examined these relationships by extracting variable importances from 36 independently run, country-specific population models from the WorldPop project’s population data. Covariate data describing urban/suburban extents were found to be the most significant predictors of population. Little difference was found in the resolution of urban/suburban data regarding their modelling importance. Further examination of the effect of different definitions of built-/urban-area, methods of quantifying input data quality, and the probability of specific variable classes as significant predictors of population is required

Moxibustion, attributed to the Song dynasty painter Li Tang 李唐 (c. 1050-1130), is one of these rare examples. The painting depicts the traditional medical treatment, moxibustion, where an herb known as mugwort is burned on various points of the body to alleviate illness. In the painting, the patient of the treatment is shown with an extreme expression of pain on his face. While scholarship on the painting tends to focus on its sense of realism, its attribution and date, or its function to promote good governmental policies, I reframe the discussion around notions of emotional expression, and more specifically the representation of pain. In the specific context of Moxibustion, I ask what the representation of pain might signify in the Song dynasty, as well as expand the temporal framing of the work into the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). To avoid anachronism, I utilize art historian Reiko Tomii’s notion of ‘resonances’ that suggests similarities can be retrospectively acknowledged even when few direct connections exist. In Chapter One, I argue that the Moxibustion is both an accurate representation of a specific treatment and that the representation of pain creates a spectacle. I define spectacle, following Guy Debord and Jeehee Hong, as both a mediator of social relations and a window onto another reality. I argue that in Moxibustion, the representation of pain acts as a window from the everyday world onto supernatural phenomena. Chapter Two discusses Moxibustion in relation to Buddhist artworks from the Southern Song (1127-1279) dynasty depicting scenes from Buddhist Hell and Ming dynasty artworks concerned with the Water-Land Retreat ritual. I argue that in these Buddhist paintings, the spectacle of pain, notions of suffering, endurance, and impermanence bridge a gap between the mundane world and supramundane spaces. It is my assertion that the vehicle of pain mobilized in Moxibustion crafts both connections with contemporaneous artworks and resonances with artworks from distinct artistic and religious traditions across disparate temporalities.

description: Globally, large cities are implementing guidelines to ensure that environment, economics and sociality are at the forefront of urban design. Promotion of healthier streets has created new opportunities for social and commercial interaction and more inclusive outcomes. However, while most megacity streets share commonalities, the streets in medium-density urban centres do not always share the same problems and opportunities. Following the London Healthy Street programme, interviews were conducted on four inner-suburban Wellington, Aotearoa-New Zealand streets. Findings highlight the impacts of changing demographics and street functionality and indicate that urban scale can be a factor in opportunity for innovative and user-friendly street design.

Sustainable design

description: The overall objective of the study is to develop a model to raise a child in an eco-friendly environment in a country like Bangladesh. Empirical data was used in this study. Based on the respondents’ perceptions a model was developed for a green baby's lifestyle at the low cost or no cost. Breastfeeding is highly recommended by the respondents for boosting the immunity system against diseases and reducing health care and feeding costs. A Green mom is a prerequisite for a green baby. Cloth diapers are more comfortable and healthier than disposable diapers. Handing down baby clothes is a huge cost saving. Baby food, bed, and toys should be organic. Making a child a part of the recycling process and nature conservation is warranted to raise a green child.

Review: A Coherent and Comprehensive Model of the Evolution of the Outer Solar System

description: Since the discovery of the first extra-solar planets, we are confronted with the puzzling diversity of planetary systems. Processes like planet radial migration in gas-disks and planetary orbital instabilities, often invoked to explain the exotic orbits of the extra-solar planets, at first sight do not seem to have played a role in our system. In reality, though, there are several aspects in the structure of our Solar System that cannot be explained in the classic scenario of in-situ formation and smooth evolution of the giant planets. This paper describes a new view of the evolution of the outer Solar System that emerges from the so-called 'Nice model' and its recent extensions. The story provided by this model describes a very "dynamical" Solar System, with giant planets affected by both radial migrations and a temporary orbital instability. Thus, the diversity between our system and those found so far around other stars does not seem to be due to different processes that operated here and elsewhere, but rather stems from the strong sensitivity of chaotic evolutions to small differences in the initial and environmental conditions.

School-based psychosocial support services through the process of school integration : a phenomenological exploration of newcomer youth experiences
Creators: name: Kalchos, Linnea Francesca
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: In this manuscript-based thesis, we employed a critical social justice lens to explore the phenomenon of school-based psychosocial support services (S-BPSS) and their role in supporting newcomer youth through the process of school integration. We conducted a narrative literature review followed by a qualitative study centered on the phenomenon of S-BPSS. The thesis begins with an introductory chapter, which provides an overview of the literature on newcomer youth, school integration and S-BPSS, as well as a statement of researcher positionality, a rationale for this research and an overview of the methodologies used in the subsequent manuscripts. In manuscript one, we present a critical narrative literature review using a critical social justice lens to summarize, interpret, synthesize, and critique what is currently known about the ways newcomer youth access and experience S-BPSS throughout the process of school integration. The following themes that underscore the experiences of newcomer youth accessing S-BPSS were identified in the critical narrative literature review: (a) underutilization/discrimination, (b) culture shift, (c) transition planning, and (d) lived experience. Important directions for future research, including the importance of studies that prioritize the perspectives of newcomer youth themselves and the implications of their lived experience for S-BPSS are provided. In response to these findings, in manuscript two, we employ a critical social justice lens and an interpretive phenomenological analysis methodology to capture and interpret the lived experiences of newcomer youth accessing S-BPSS. Six newcomer undergraduate students participated in sixty-minute, semi-structured interviews. Analysis of participant interviews allowed us to develop the following themes: (1) Uniqueness of Newcomer Experiences; (2) Impact of Natural Environment; (3) Influence of the English as an Additional Language Classroom; (4) Counselling, Advising, and Advocacy; (5) Clubs and Volunteerism for School Community Integration; (6) Leadership and Action within Support Services. Our results challenge service providers and policy makers to take culturally responsive, equity-based approaches in supporting the needs of newcomer youth in schools. In the final chapter, we present post-study researcher reflections, a discussion of the results of this project, and important implications for school psychology practice, training, research, and policy when working with newcomer youth.

description: Past research has supported the importance of animal personalities for the productivity and welfare of farm animals. However, current assessments of personality traits are commonly conducted over short periods using standardized assays and may not reflect all important aspects of behaviours in commercial settings throughout the production period. This study aimed to evaluate consistent behavioural differences between 194 commercial laying hens within an aviary across most of the production period (eight months). We used five spatial behaviours related to various aspects of commercial hens' daily routine, including the sleeping, feeding, nesting, indoor movements and outdoor usage. All behaviours were repeatable over time and across contexts, with consistent differences between individuals explaining between 23% and 66% of the variation. These long-term consistencies revealed the potential applicability of the behaviours as personality traits of commercial hens. Moreover, we identified behavioural syndromes comprising all behaviours except the nesting related behaviour, indicating two axes of spatial personalities that may be driven by different mechanisms. We discussed the significance of such individual differences in using personality traits to breed more resilient farm animals. Future research should evaluate associations of these behaviours with animal welfare and productivity to inform breeding efforts.
