Season extension for strawberries in British Columbia
Creators: name: Baumann, Thomas Ernst
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Pacific Northwest is recognized for producing high quality strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.). Unfortunately, these are produced over an extremely short season of no more than 4 weeks. This situation is ideal for the processing market but not the fresh market where an extended season is essential. However, the recently introduced production systems together with the introduction of the day neutral cultivars have the potential to extend the season. The purpose of the present investigations was to examine these systems and the various day neutral cultivars in southwestern British Columbia. The production systems investigated were the waiting bed and the raised hill row. Both systems involve traditional June-bearing (short day) cultivars planted sequentially, resulting in a harvest season of at least 10 weeks. Among the cultivars tested in the waiting bed system, ‘Rainier’ was the most promising and 'Hood' the least; 'Totem' and ‘Shuksan’ gave intermediate responses. In the hill row 'Rainier' was again the most promising. However, in the second year of both systems, when production occurs in the traditional 4 week time period, 'Totem' was the most promising. Comparing the 2 systems, hill rows were more profitable than waiting beds. Day neutral cultivars begin flowering approximately one month after planting, and fruiting occurs from June or early July until October. In these investigations, they were grown at various spacings on raised beds, covered with black plastic mulch and trickle irrigated. The most promising cultivars tested were 'Selva' and 'Tribute' and the most promising spacing was 30 cm.

description: We report on a statistical approach to mode-locking transitions of nano-structured laser cavities characterized by an enhanced density of states. We show that the equations for the interacting modes can be mapped onto a statistical model exhibiting a first order thermodynamic transition, with the average mode-energy playing the role of inverse temperature. The transition corresponds to a phase-locking of modes. Extended modes lead to a mean-field like model, while in presence of localized modes, as due to a small disorder, the model has short range interactions. We show that simple scaling arguments lead to observable differences between transitions involving extended modes and those involving localized modes. We also show that the dynamics of the light modes can be exactly solved, predicting a jump in the relaxation time of the coherence functions at the transition. Finally, we link the thermodynamic transition to a topological singularity of the phase space, as previously reported for similar models.

description: Recently, the newly emerged multimodal models, which leverage both visual and linguistic modalities to train powerful encoders, have gained increasing attention. However, learning from a large-scale unlabeled dataset also exposes the model to the risk of potential poisoning attacks, whereby the adversary aims to perturb the model's training data to trigger malicious behaviors in it. In contrast to previous work, only poisoning visual modality, in this work, we take the first step to studying poisoning attacks against multimodal models in both visual and linguistic modalities. Specially, we focus on answering two questions: (1) Is the linguistic modality also vulnerable to poisoning attacks? and (2) Which modality is most vulnerable? To answer the two questions, we propose three types of poisoning attacks against multimodal models. Extensive evaluations on different datasets and model architectures show that all three attacks can achieve significant attack performance while maintaining model utility in both visual and linguistic modalities. Furthermore, we observe that the poisoning effect differs between different modalities. To mitigate the attacks, we propose both pre-training and post-training defenses. We empirically show that both defenses can significantly reduce the attack performance while preserving the model's utility.

description: The modified elliptic genus for an M5-brane wrapped on a four-cycle of a Calabi-Yau threefold encodes the degeneracies of an infinite set of BPS states in four dimensions. By holomorphy and modular invariance, it can be determined completely from the knowledge of a finite set of such BPS states. We show the feasibility of such a computation and determine the exact modified elliptic genus for an M5-brane wrapping a hyperplane section of the quintic threefold.

description: We consider MHD waves as a heating source of cool cores of galaxy clusters. In particular, we focus on transverse waves (Alfven waves), because they can propagate a longer distance than longitudinal waves (sound waves). Using MHD simulations, we found that the transverse waves can stably heat a cool core if the wave period is large enough (>~ 10^8 yr). Moreover, the longitudinal waves that are created as a by-product of the nonlinear evolution of the transverse waves could be observed as the 'ripples' found in cool cores.

description: Recent numerical relativistic simulations of black hole coalescence suggest that in certain alignments the emission of gravitational radiation can produce a kick of several thousand kilometers per second. This exceeds galactic escape speeds, hence unless there a mechanism to prevent this, one would expect many galaxies that had merged to be without a central black hole. Here we show that in most galactic mergers, torques from accreting gas suffice to align the orbit and spins of both black holes with the large-scale gas flow. Such a configuration has a maximum kick speed <200 km/s, safely below galactic escape speeds. We predict, however, that in mergers of galaxies without much gas, the remnant will be kicked out several percent of the time. We also discuss other predictions of our scenario, including implications for jet alignment angles and X-type radio sources.

description: We perform a detailed conformal field theory analysis of D2-brane instanton effects in four-dimensional type IIA string vacua with intersecting D6-branes. In particular, we explicitly compute instanton induced fermion two-point couplings which play the role of perturbatively forbidden Majorana mass terms for right-handed neutrinos or MSSM mu-terms. These results can readily be extended to higher-dimensional operators. In concrete realizations of such non-perturbative effects, the Euclidean D2-brane has to wrap a rigid, supersymmetric cycle with strong constraints on the zero mode structure. Their implications for Type IIA compactifications on the T^6/(Z_2 x Z_2) orientifold with discrete torsion are analyzed. We also construct a local supersymmetric GUT-like model allowing for a class of Euclidean D2-branes whose fermionic zero modes meet all the constraints for generating Majorana masses in the phenomenologically allowed regime. Together with perturbatively realized Dirac masses, these non-perturbative couplings give rise to the see-saw mechanism.

description: Quantum circuits are time dependent diagrams describing the process of quantum computation. Usually, a quantum algorithm must be mapped into a quantum circuit. Optimal synthesis of quantum circuits is intractable and heuristic methods must be employed. With the use of heuristics, the optimality of circuits is no longer guaranteed. In this paper, we consider a local optimization technique based on templates to simplify and reduce the depth of non-optimal quantum circuits. We present and analyze templates in the general case, and provide particular details for the circuits composed of NOT, CNOT and controlled-sqrt-of-NOT gates. We apply templates to optimize various common circuits implementing multiple control Toffoli gates and quantum Boolean arithmetic circuits. We also show how templates can be used to compact the number of levels of a quantum circuit. The runtime of our implementation is small while the reduction in number of quantum gates and number of levels is significant.

description: We expand the set of initial states of a system and its environment that are known to guarantee completely positive reduced dynamics for the system when the combined state evolves unitarily. We characterize the correlations in the initial state in terms of its quantum discord [H. Ollivier and W. H. Zurek, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 017901 (2001)]. We prove that initial states that have only classical correlations lead to completely positive reduced dynamics. The induced maps can be not completely positive when quantum correlations including, but not limited to, entanglement are present. We outline the implications of our results to quantum process tomography experiments.

description: The known encounter velocity (6.1kms-1) and particle incidence angle (perpendicular) between the Stardust spacecraft and the dust emanating from the nucleus of comet Wild 2 fall within a range that allows simulation in laboratory light gas gun experiments designed to validate analytical methods for the interpretation of dust impacts on the aluminum foil components of the Stardust collector. Buckshot of a wide size, shape and density range of mineral, glass, polymer and metal grains, have been fired to impact perpendicularly upon samples of Stardust Al1100 foil, tightly wrapped onto aluminium alloy plate as an analogue of foil on the spacecraft collector. We have not yet been able to produce laboratory impacts by projectiles with weak and porous aggregate structure, as may occur in some cometary dust grains. In this report we present information on crater gross morphology and its dependence on particle size and density, the pre-existing major and trace element composition of the foil, geometrical issues for energy dispersive X-ray analysis of the impact residues in scanning electron microscopes, and the modification of dust chemical composition during creation of impact craters as revealed by analytical transmission electron microscopy. Together, these observations help to underpin the interpretation of size, density and composition for particles impacted upon the Stardust aluminum foils.

description: We consider probabilistic models of N identical distinguishable, binary random variables. If these variables are strictly or asymptotically independent, then, for N>>1, (i) the attractor in distribution space is, according to the standard central limit theorem, a Gaussian, and (ii) the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy is extensive, meaning that S_BGS(N) ~ N . If these variables have any nonvanishing global (i.e., not asymptotically independent) correlations, then the attractor deviates from the Gaussian. The entropy appears to be more robust, in the sense that, in some cases, S_BGS remains extensive even in the presence of strong global correlations. In other cases, however, even weak global correlations make the entropy deviate from the normal behavior. More precisely, in such cases the entropic form Sq can become extensive for some value of q different from unity . This scenario is illustrated with several new as well as previously described models. The discussion illuminates recent progress into q-describable nonextensive probabilistic systems, and the conjectured q-Central Limit Theorem (q-CLT) which posses a q-Gaussian attractor.

The turning of the screw : the Sixth Guggenheim International Exhibition, Daniel Buren, and the new cultural conservatism
Creators: name: Alberro, Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In this study I have sought to explore the theoretical foundations of the French artist Daniel Buren's work and its subsequent resonance in a context of emergent cultural conservatism. The study also traces, the increasingly tenuous position of the avant-garde, the survival of which is contingent on the presence of certain liberal democratic institutions. For me these concerns led to a systematic investigation of the censorship of Buren's installation at the 1971 Guggenheim International Exhibition. This was the last in a series of exhibitions that was to promote international goodwill by bringing together the best of recently produced works by contemporary avant-garde artists from around the world, and awarding prizes to those considered outstanding. But the real ideological significance of this show was apparent in the aggressive attempt by the administrators of the Guggenheim to promote American cultural superiority. Buren was invited to contribute a piece to the show in the belief that his work fit into the formalist mode around which the exhibition was organized. Yet the day before the show opened Museum officials suddenly decided to remove his work from the exhibition. The official explanation provided by the authorities of the Guggenheim cited the size and placement of Buren's work as being in direct conflict with the work of other artists in the exhibition. However, this explanation was clearly specious given that the Guggenheim officials knew months in advance exactly what this work would look like, and its intended place of installation. Moreover, Museum officials used the complaints of four participating artists as justification for their actions. Meanwhile, fifteen other artists in the show objected to the Museum's use of censorship. The issue of the Guggenheim Museum's sudden decision to withdraw Buren's installation from the Sixth Guggenheim International is thus more complex than the official explanation would indicate. My thesis contends that the abrupt removal of Daniel Buren's work is traceable to efforts by Guggenheim officials to protect other works in the exhibition, and the International series as a whole, from floating into the avant-gardist-traditionalist polemic that had again flared up in the New York art world. Chapters One and Two examine the organization of the 1971 Guggenheim International and the rationale behind that organization. Chapter Three looks at the threefold controversy surrounding the 1971 International: the conflict that arose between participating artists, the questions of censorship that were raised by the actions of Museum officials, and the overwhelmingly hostile critical response to the exhibition. This study investigates a period of social and epistemological rupture in American art, the reverberations of which continue to be felt today.

description: The virus SARS-CoV-2 has caused more than one million deaths worldwide. Part of the damage caused by this virus is associated with the host’s immune system’s dysregulation. Macrophages play an essential role in disease progression since deregulated macrophages can lead to immunologic complications such as macrophage activation syndrome, cytokine storm, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Macrophages are innate immune cells that can detect and respond to pathogens and diverse stimuli. They differentiate into classical M1 macrophages with inflammatory properties and the alternatively activated M2 macrophages with anti-inflammatory properties, which are further sub-categorized into M2a, M2b, M2c, M2d phenotypes. To study the role of macrophages during COVID-19 we constructed a Boolean network of 32 nodes that represent cytokines, signaling pathways and TFs, and 57 interactions. The network has 2112 attractors that can be classified into M1, M2a, M2b, M2c, M2d cell types. The attractors reveal polarizations under actual biological conditions of all phenotypes that we can observe in vivo. Subsequently, we used this boolean-network to study the behavior of macrophages during SARS-CoV-2 infection. This shows that SARS-CoV-2 affects the immune balance of the host.

Angular variation of hard back-to-back hadron suppression in heavy-ion collisions
Creators: name: Renk, Thorsten
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The basic idea of jet tomography is to infer information about the density evolution of the medium created in heavy-ion (A-A) collisions by studying the suppression of hard probes in an A-A environment as compared to the baseline process known from p-p collisions. The suppression of back-to-back correlations in heavy-ion collisions allows, due to a different geometrical bias, a view into the medium which is qualitatively different from the one offered by single hadron suppression. A control parameter for the suppression corresponding to a systematic variation of in-medium pathlengths and density can be obtained by studying collisions at finite impact parameter b. A systematic variation of pathlength can then be introduced by studying the suppression pattern as a function of the angle phi with the reaction plane. Using a 3-d hydrodynamical evolution model for the medium and a Monte-Carlo model which has been shown to successfully reproduce the measured suppression of back-to-back correlations in central collisions of Au-Au at 200 AGeV, we compute the suppression as a function of phi for b of 2.4 fm. 4.5 fm, 6.3 fm and 7.5 fm. Given that this involves variations in both control parameters b and phi a comparison with data should eventually allow to place strong constraints on the combination of energy loss model and medium evolution model.

Background Understanding and Rejection for CCD Dark Matter Searches Using DAMIC at SNOLAB
Creators: name: Darragh-Ford, Elise
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: background rejection, CCD, dark matter

description: For the DAMIC (DArk Matter In CCDs) experiment, background events from radioactive decays place the largest limit on direct detection sensitivity. Thus, characterizing and eliminating this type of background is essential to the success of the experiment. The work presented here tackles both sides of this problem using data from a previous run of DAMIC at SNOLAB. The background from radioactive contamination of detector components is characterized using simulated spectra in order to set a baseline for background rates. We also develop analysis methods to identify and reject the background from Si-32, of cosmogenic origin, using a coincidence search, which takes advantage of the spatial correlation between the two beta decays in the Si-32 - P-32 decay chain. By combining this Si-32 coincidence search with methods for physically eliminating the other dominant background components during the process of manufacture, transport, and installation, we hope to reduce background levels below 0.1 dru in the next generation of DAMIC (DAMIC-M), set to run in the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane. Thus, this analysis is integral to achieving the high levels of sensitivity necessary to the future success of the DAMIC experiment.

description: This chapter explores the link between environmental history and migration studies by analyzing the case of Italian miners in Wallonia after the World War II. Employing an Environmental Humanities approach, we use poems and novels to analyze the ecological shift operated by the capitalistic organization of coal extraction and how this affected the socio-environmental structure of the Walloon landscape and its relationship with the people who inhabited it. We aim to demonstrate how workers' bodies are a key element of the interaction between nature and society, constituting a vantage point to acces subaltern ecologies.
Practical knowledge and artroom design
Creators: name: Alexander, George Shepard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Field research methodology was employed to describe how the personal practical knowledge of three art teachers has helped shape their junior secondary artrooms. Through interviews, photographic analysis, and participant observation a description of each site is provided to show that some aspects of each teacher's practical knowledge find expression in the artroom environment. Each artroom had its own distinctive features, but what held these three sites in common was the way in which practical knowledge functioned in the design of the flexible elements of the room's environment. Each teacher employed specific coping strategies to manage the classroom and increase their sense of comfort in their professional role. An image of an artroom was held by each teacher which both directly and indirectly influenced their decisions about artroom design. The findings were used to construct a conceptual framework relating practical knowledge and the artroom to the teacher's personal history and the limitations imposed on the artroom by school life and the room's physical limitations.
Type II and heterotic one loop string effective actions in four dimensions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze the reduction to four dimensions of the R^4 terms which are part of the ten-dimensional string effective actions, both at tree level and one loop. We show that there are two independent combinations of R^4 present, at one loop, in the type IIA four dimensional effective action, which means they both have their origin in M-theory. The d=4 heterotic effective action also has such terms. This contradicts the common belief thathere is only one R^4 term in four-dimensional supergravity theories, given by the square of the Bel-Robinson tensor. In pure N=1 supergravity this new R^4 combination cannot be directly supersymmetrized, but we show that, when coupled to a scalar chiral multiplet (violating the U(1) $R$-symmetry), it emerges in the action after elimination of the auxiliary fields.

description: A system of coupled chaotic bistable maps on a lattice with randomly distributed impurities is investigated as a model for studying the phenomenon of phase growth in nonuniform media. The statistical properties of the system are characterized by means of the average size of spatial domains of equivalent spin variables that define the phases. It is found that the rate at which phase domains grow becomes smaller when impurities are present and that the average size of the resulting domains in the inhomogeneous state of the system decreases when the density of impurities is increased. The phase diagram showing regions where homogeneous, heterogeneous, and chessboard patterns occur on the space of parameters of the system is obtained. A critical boundary that separates the regime of slow growth of domains from the regime of fast growth in the heterogeneous region of the phase diagram is calculated. The transition between these two growth regimes is explained in terms of the stability properties of the local phase configurations. Our results show that the inclusion of spatial inhomogeneities can be used as a control mechanism for the size and growth velocity of phase domains forming in spatiotemporal systems.

description: We give a general existence result for interacting particle systems with local interactions and bounded jump rates but noncompact state space at each site. We allow for jump events at a site that affect the state of its neighbours. We give a law of large numbers and functional central limit theorem for additive set functions taken over an increasing family of subcubes of $Z^d$. We discuss application to marked spatial point processes with births, deaths and jumps of particles, in particular examples such as continuum and lattice ballistic deposition and a sequential model for random loose sphere packing.

description: The University of Hawaii Wide-Field Imager (UHWFI) is a focal compressor system designed to project the full half-degree field of the UH 2.2 m telescope onto the refurbished UH 8Kx8K CCD camera. The optics use Ohara glasses and are mounted in an oil-filled cell to minimize light losses and ghost images from the large number of internal lens surfaces. The UHWFI is equipped with a six-position filter wheel and a rotating sector blade shutter,both driven by stepper motors. The instrument saw first light in 2004 in an engineering mode. After filling the lens cell with index matching oil, integration of all software components into the user interface, tuning of the CCD performance, and the purchase of the final filter set, UHWFI is now fully commissioned at the UH 2.2 m telescope.
