description: We present a systematic analysis of two-pion interferometry in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV using the STAR detector at RHIC. We extract the HBT radii and study their multiplicity, transverse momentum, and azimuthal angle dependence. The Gaussianess of the correlation function is studied. Estimates of the geometrical and dynamical structure of the freeze-out source are extracted by fits with blast wave parameterizations. The expansion of the source and its relation with the initial energy density distribution is studied.

2D Simulations of the Line-Driven Instability in Hot-Star Winds: II. Approximations for the 2D Radiation Force

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present initial attempts to include the multi-dimensional nature of radiation transport in hydrodynamical simulations of the small-scale structure that arises from the line-driven instability in hot-star winds. Compared to previous 1D or 2D models that assume a purely radial radiation force, we seek additionally to treat the lateral momentum and transport of diffuse line-radiation, initially here within a 2D context. A key incentive is to study the damping effect of the associated diffuse line-drag on the dynamical properties of the flow, focusing particularly on whether this might prevent lateral break-up of shell structures at scales near the lateral Sobolev angle of ca. $1^{\rm o}$. We first explore nonlinear simulations that cast the lateral diffuse force in the simple, local form of a parallel viscosity. Second, to account for the lateral mixing of radiation associated with the radial driving, we next explore models in which the radial force is azimuthally smoothed over a chosen scale. Third, to account for both the lateral line-drag and the lateral mixing in a more self-consistent way, we explore further a method first proposed by Owocki (1999), which uses a restricted 3-ray approach that combines a radial ray with two oblique rays set to have an impact parameter $p < R_{\ast}$ within the stellar core. From numerical simulations, we find that, compared to equivalent 1-ray simulations, the high-resolution 3-ray models show systematically a much higher lateral coherence.... (Full abstract in paper)

description: We study gated field effect transistors (FETs) with an eccentric Corbino-disk geometry, such that the drain spans its circumference while the off-center inner ring acts as a source. An AC THz potential difference is applied between source and gate while a static source-drain voltage, rectified by the nonlinearities of FET electrons, is measured. When a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the device, a strong resonance appears at the cyclotron frequency. The strength of the resonance can be tuned by changing the eccentricity of the disk. We show that there is an optimum value of the eccentricity that maximizes the responsivity of the FET.

A universal prevention program for anxiety symptoms in school aged children : taming worry dragons
Creators: name: Short, Christina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A growing literature has investigated the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy for treating children with anxiety disorders; however, there remains scant research to discover if cognitive-behavior therapy programs can be used as a preventative approach for anxiety. This study adds to the limited available research on the prevention of anxiety by implementing and evaluation a locally developed cognitive-behavioral intervention program, Taming Worry Dragons. This study examined the effectiveness of a school based cognitive-behavioral intervention for reducing rates of anxiety symptoms in children aged 7 to 12 years. Using a universal prevention approach, 162 children were randomly assigned (school as unit of randomization) to either an 8-week cognitive-behavioral intervention group or to a wait list control group. Children's anxiety levels were assessed before and immediately after the intervention by child self-report (Multidimensional Anxiety Screen for Children, March, 1997) and by parent reports (Behavioral Assessment Schedule for Children, Kamphaus, 1992). Results of the statistical analysis (ANCOVA) indicate that the manualized CBT intervention, which included relaxation training, cognitive restructuring, and behavioural components, was not successful in reducing symptoms of anxiety within the general population of school aged children. The children in the wait-list condition, however, did report significantly lower mean scores on the self-report measure. A separate wi thin-group analysis was performed, examining those children with elevated self-report scores only (T score of 55+ in treatment and WL groups). Those in the treatment condition significantly improved following the intervention (effect size of .8) while those in the waitlist condition remained unchanged.

description: Semantic image segmentation is one of the most important tasks in medical image analysis. Most state-of-the-art deep learning methods require a large number of accurately annotated examples for model training. However, accurate annotation is difficult to obtain especially in medical applications. In this paper, we propose a spatially constrained deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) to achieve smooth and robust image segmentation using inaccurately annotated labels for training. In our proposed method, image segmentation is formulated as a graph optimization problem that is solved by a DCNN model learning process. The cost function to be optimized consists of a unary term that is calculated by cross entropy measurement and a pairwise term that is based on enforcing a local label consistency. The proposed method has been evaluated based on corneal confocal microscopic (CCM) images for nerve fiber segmentation, where accurate annotations are extremely difficult to be obtained. Based on both the quantitative result of a synthetic dataset and qualitative assessment of a real dataset, the proposed method has achieved superior performance in producing high quality segmentation results even with inaccurate labels for training.

Molecular dynamics investigation of dislocation pinning by a nanovoid in copper
Creators: name: Hatano, Takahiro

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: Interactions between an edge dislocation and a void in copper are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation. The depinning stresses of the leading partial and of the trailing partial show qualitatively different behaviors. The depinning stress of the trailing partial increases logarithmically with the void radius, while that of the leading partial shows a crossover at 1 nm above which two partials are simultaneously trapped by the void. The pinning angle, which characterizes the obstacle strength, approaches zero when the void radius exceeds 3 nm. No temperature dependence is found in the critical stress and the critical angle. This is attributed to an absence of climb motion. The distance between the void center and a glide plane asymmetrically affects the pinning strength.

Client perceptions of therapeutic factors in the Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI) as a therapeutic intervention : an exploratory study
Creators: name: Robertson, Jeananne T.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study explored participants' experiences of engagement with the collaborative group interpretation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). It adapts the collaborative model described by Newman and Greenway (1997) in their study using Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 results. Participants were 12 adults recruited from the general population in a large urban centre who were interested in obtaining MBTI results. A l l participants simultaneously completed the collaborative group administration and interpretation of the MBTI in a four-hour session and immediately completed a self-report questionnaire. Five weeks after the interpretation session three participants completed follow-up interviews, and field notes summarizing my observations as the primary researcher and facilitator were made throughout. Data were analyzed via constant comparative analysis and interpreted through a constructivist lens. Participants all indicated an engaging experience that was both meaningful and useful. Participants described four characteristics attributed to the MBTI that facilitated their experiences of engagement: (a) It validated participants' self-perceptions, experiences, and the different preferences of others; (b) it provided a framework and vocabulary for exploring individual differences; (c) it explicitly allows for both individual variability and change over time; and (d) it is accessible and readily transferable to lived experience. Participants also described the collaborative group interpretation process as a significant contributor to their experiences of engagement. Overall, the findings support the efficacy of the MBTI as a therapeutic intervention.
First-principles studies of the electronic and magnetic structures and bonding properties of boron subnitride B$_{13}$N$_2$

description: Rhombohedral B$_{12}$ unit is viewed as a host matrix embedding linear tri-atomic arrangements of elements (E) resulting in a relatively large family of boron-rich compounds with B$_{12}${E-E-E} generic formulation. The present work focuses on boron subnitride, B$_{13}$N$_2$ that we express in present context as B$_{12}${N-B-N}. Within well established quantum density functional theory (DFT) a full study of its electronic properties is provided. Also linear triatomic arrangements in view of the existence in simple compounds such as sodium azide NaN$_3$, i.e., Na$^I${N-N-N} and calcium cyanamide, Ca$^{II}${N-C-N}, we devised Sc$^{III}${N-B-N} to establish comparison with B$_{12}${N-B-N}. ScBN$_2$ is calculated to be cohesive and possessing N-B-N isolated from ScIII with dB-N = 1.33 Å. In B$_{12}${N-B-N} an elongated dB-N=1.43 Å is identified due to the bonding of N with one of the two B12 boron substructures, B1 with the formation of "3B...N-B-N...3B"-like complex accompanied by a magnetic instability. Spin polarized (SP) calculations led to the onset of magnetization on central boron with M=1 $μ_B$ in a stable half-ferromagnetic ground state observed from the electronic density of states (DOS). The results are backed with total energy and calculations in both non-spin-polarized (NSP) and spin-polarized stabilizing the latter configuration over a broad range of volumes from M(V) plots. Further illustrative results are given with the charge densities (total and magnetic) and electron localization function (ELF).
Understanding the intrinsic robustness of image distributions using conditional generative models

description: Starting with Gilmer et al. (2018), several
works have demonstrated the inevitability of
adversarial examples based on different assumptions about the underlying input probability space. It remains unclear, however,
whether these results apply to natural image
distributions. In this work, we assume the
underlying data distribution is captured by
some conditional generative model, and prove
intrinsic robustness bounds for a general class
of classifiers, which solves an open problem in
Fawzi et al. (2018). Building upon the stateof-the-art conditional generative models, we
study the intrinsic robustness of two common
image benchmarks under `2 perturbations,
and show the existence of a large gap between
the robustness limits implied by our theory
and the adversarial robustness achieved by
current state-of-the-art robust models.

description: The negative impact of hard drug use on marriages and families is a persistent issue in Nigeria that is of great concern to policymakers and researchers alike. This paper examines the impact of hard drug use on marital instability and outcomes in Nigeria and the role of social work interventions in mitigating this impact. The paper finds that hard drug use has a detrimental effect on marriages and families, leading to financial instability, physical and mental health problems, and social isolation. In addition, several bottlenecks can complicate the work of social workers, including limited resources, stigma and discrimination. Despite these challenges, social work interventions can still be effective in helping individuals and families affected by hard drug use to improve their health and well-being. However, it is important to consider the limitations and challenges faced by social workers in implementing these interventions and to address them to ensure the best possible outcomes for those affected. Overall, the paper highlights the need for continued research and action on the issue of hard drug use and its impact on marriages and families in Nigeria

Living outside the box : lesbian couples with children conceived through the use of anonymous donor insemination
Creators: name: Kranz, Karen Catharine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Societal pressures have led to social and legal policy changes that have resulted in fertility clinics increasingly permitting lesbians access to their services. Therefore, lesbian women are able to conceive their children and create their families in ways that historically were not available to them. While some research has been conducted examining the needs, experiences, and issues faced by lesbian-led families in general, there is a dearth of research that exclusively explores lesbian couples who conceived their children through the use of anonymous donor insemination. The qualitative method that guided this research was interpretive interactionism. Interviews were conducted with 10 couples who self-identified as lesbian, chose to have their children while in their lesbian relationships, and conceived their children through the use of anonymous donor insemination. Analysis of the transcripts revealed that four themes shaped, constructed, represented, and gave meaning to these unique family configurations. These four themes are (a) conception options of two women, (b) two women parenting, (c) anonymous donors/not fathers, and (d) families with lesbian mothers. These themes are elaborated in terms of their implications for lesbian-led families, clinical practice, and future research.

description: Strain tuning emerged as an appealing tool to tune fundamental optical properties of solid state quantum emitters. In particular, the wavelength and fine structure of quantum dot states could be tuned using hybrid semiconductor-piezoelectric devices. Here, we show how an applied external stress can directly impact the polarization properties of coupled InAs quantum dot-micropillar cavity systems. In our experiment, we find that we can reversibly tune the anisotropic polarization splitting of the fundamental microcavity mode by approximately 60 $μ\text{eV}$. We discuss the origin of this tuning mechanism, which arises from an interplay between elastic deformation and the photoelastic effect in our micropillar. Finally, we exploit this effect to tune the quantum dot polarization opto-mechanically via the polarization-anisotropic Purcell effect. Our work paves the way for optomechanical and reversible tuning of the polarization and spin properties of light-matter coupled solid state systems.

Improved Estimation of Concentration Under Lp-Norm Distance Metric Using Half Spaces
Creators: name: Zhang, Xiao
name: Prescott, Jack

Publisher: name: CISPA
Year: 2024

description: Concentration of measure has been argued to be the fundamental cause of adversarial vulnerability. Mahloujifar et al. (2019) presented an empirical way to measure the concentration of a data distribution using samples, and employed it to find lower bounds on intrinsic robustness for several benchmark datasets. However, it remains unclear whether these lower bounds are tight enough to provide a useful approximation for the intrinsic robustness of a dataset. To gain a deeper understanding of the concentration of measure phenomenon, we first extend the Gaussian Isoperimetric Inequality to non-spherical Gaussian measures and arbitrary Lp-norms (p>=2). We leverage these theoretical insights to design a method that uses half-spaces to estimate the concentration of any empirical dataset under Lp-norm distance metrics. Our proposed algorithm is more efficient than Mahloujifar et al. (2019)’s, and experiments on synthetic datasets and image benchmarks demonstrate that it is able to find much tighter intrinsic robustness bounds. These tighter estimates provide further evidence that rules out intrinsic dataset concentration as a possible explanation for the adversarial vulnerability of state-of-the-art classifiers.

Emphasis is given to two waiting point nuclei 68Se and 72Kr that are characterized by shape coexistence. Energy surface calculations indicate that the ground state of these nuclei corresponds to an oblate-deformed minimum, while the lowest state at the prolate-deformed minimum can be considered as a shape isomer. The impact of these isomer states on isotopic abundance in x-ray bursts is studied in a multi-mass-zone x-ray burst model by assuming an upper-lower limit approach.

In the limits of the normal phase and the ideal two-flavor color superconducting phase, the screening masses coincide with the known results. Most interestingly, we find that the Meissner screening masses squared can be negative, indicating a plasma-type chromomagnetic instability in dense quark matter.

description: Recently, pseudo analog transmission has gained increasing attentions due to its ability to alleviate the cliff effect in video multicast scenarios. The existing pseudo analog systems are sorely optimized under the minimum mean squared error criterion without taking the perceptual video quality into consideration. In this paper, we propose a human-perception-based pseudo analog video transmission system named ROIC-Cast, which aims to intelligently enhance the transmission quality of the region-of-interest (ROI) parts. Firstly, the classic deep learning based saliency detection algorithm is adopted to decompose the continuous video sequences into ROI and non-ROI blocks. Secondly, an effective compression method is used to reduce the data amount of side information generated by the ROI extraction module. Then, the power allocation scheme is formulated as a convex problem, and the optimal transmission power for both ROI and non-ROI blocks is derived in a closed form. Finally, the simulations are conducted to validate the proposed system by comparing with a few of existing systems, e.g., KMV-Cast, SoftCast, and DAC-RAN. The proposed ROIC-Cast can achieve over 4.1dB peak signal- to-noise ratio gains of ROI compared with other systems, given the channel signal-to-noise ratio as -5dB, 0dB, 5dB, and 10dB, respectively. This significant performance improvement is due to the automatic ROI extraction, high-efficiency data compression as well as adaptive power allocation.

Levels of ego development and reasoning about counselling in adults
Creators: name: Gow, Mary Kathleen

description: This study investigated the relationship between levels of ego development and reasoning about counselling in adults. To date, ego development research has not made a clear distinction between "psychotherapy" and "counselling," nor has it included many "non-client" participants. Fifty adults living in non-urban areas in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia completed The Washington University Sentence Completion Test (WUSCT - a measure of ego development) and the Reasoning about Counselling (RAC) questionnaire. Thirty participants had no previous experience with counselling. A mixed methods design, employing both quantitative and qualitative analyses, revealed a significant relationship between ego development and reasoning about counselling across all domains in the total sample. When the sample was divided into two groups, those with and without previous experience in counselling, a significant relationship between the two variables was found in three out of the four domains. Qualitative findings illustrate the relationship between levels of ego development and reasoning about counselling from a more personal perspective. Findings from this study indicate that utilizing the ego development model to inform the practice of counselling psychology enables counsellors to better understand their adult clients' frame of reference and so choose treatment interventions that are the most appropriate.

description: A produção de leite e seus derivados na Região do Inhamuns tem elevada importância economica e social para as propriedades do segmento da Agricultura Familiar. O sabor diferenciado do queijo da região, abre possibilidades de tornar-se um produto de alto valor agregado por uma certificação de origem, contudo requer um esforço concentrado da pesquisa, treinamento e capacitação de produtores para corrigir as distorções que se verificam nos sistemas de produção e de processamento, em virtude de práticas inadequadas tanto no manejo dos rebanhos, quanto nas fases de processamento e acondicionamento do produto. Devido a importância da produção do queijo-de-colho para esse território, este estudo busca conhecer a dinâmica desse segmento que vem a constituir um recurso importante para o sustento das famílias, além de ser um fator cultural. A Agricultura Familiar nessa região, caracterisa-se pelo emprego de práticas tradicionais, na produção e processamento dos seus produtos. Dessa forma, esse trabalho possibilitou conhecer a dinâmica de desenvolvimento dessas comunidades, como também, abriu possibilidades para um acompanhamento futuro sobre a evolução dessa dinâmica.----------------------------------------------The production of milk and its derivatives in the Region of Inhamuns has high economic and social importance to the properties of the segment of Family Agriculture. The flavor of the cheese differently in the region, opens possibilities to become a product of high value added by a certificate of origin, but requires a focused effort of the research, training and capacity building of producers to correct the distortions that occur in production systems and processing, due to both inadequate practices in the management of herds, as at the processing and packaging of the product. Due to the importance of the production of cheese-of-cropping for this territory, this study seeks to know the dynamics of this segment that has to be an important resource for the sustenance of families, in addition to being a cultural factor. The Family Agriculture in that region, caracterisa by the use of traditional practices, in the production and processing of their products. Thus, this study allowed to know the dynamics of development of these communities, but also has opened possibilities for a future monitoring on the evolution of this dynamic.

description: We propose a system of nonlinear integral equations (NLIE) which describes the thermodynamics of the U_{q}(\hat{sl(r+1)}) Perk-Schultz model. These NLIE correspond to a trigonometric analogue of our previous result (cond-mat/0212280), and contain only r unknown functions. In particular, they reduce to Takahashi's NLIE for the XXZ spin chain (cond-mat/0010486) if r=1. We also calculate the high temperature expansion of the free energy. In particular for r=1 case, we have succeeded to derive the coefficients of order O((\frac{J}{T})^{99}).

description: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have been successful in producing outstanding results in areas as diverse as image, video, and text generation. Building on these successes, a large number of empirical studies have validated the benefits of the cousin approach called Wasserstein GANs (WGANs), which brings stabilization in the training process. In the present paper, we add a new stone to the edifice by proposing some theoretical advances in the properties of WGANs. First, we properly define the architecture of WGANs in the context of integral probability metrics parameterized by neural networks and highlight some of their basic mathematical features. We stress in particular interesting optimization properties arising from the use of a parametric 1-Lipschitz discriminator. Then, in a statistically-driven approach, we study the convergence of empirical WGANs as the sample size tends to infinity, and clarify the adversarial effects of the generator and the discriminator by underlining some trade-off properties. These features are finally illustrated with experiments using both synthetic and real-world datasets.

description: This study aims to investigate the effect of climate change on transportation flows and inland waterways in the Mississippi River Basin due to climate-induced shifts in crop production patterns in 2050 using two large scale modeling systems, an Agricultural Sector Model (ASM) and an International Grain Transportation Model (IGTM), with technical approach developed to link the two models. Simulated results from ASM show that 1) US and total social welfare rises; 2) crop producer welfare varies across US regions; 3) production and prices of all crops including corn and soybeans also varies; 4) National total cropland use increases with the expansion of irrigated land and contraction of dryland. After breaking down crop acreage results of ASM to the county level and reaggregating to the crop reporting district (CRD) level, which is the spatial scale employed in IGTM. Our study finds that overall supply of corn and soybeans likely increases in the Northern part, while it tends to decline in some areas from Central to Southern parts of the US. By subtracting demand for grains assumed to constant overtime with simulated supply of grains, we obtain the amount of excess supply and demand for grains, which are used as inputs in IGTM. Various interested findings from IGTM are revealed. For example, Corn Belt, the largest producer of corn in the US, is anticipated to ship less corn supply to Pacific, Northeast, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, and Mississippi Lower ports, while the Great Lakes ports, Lake States, and the Great Plains are expected to receive higher corn shipments from Corn Belt. For the aspect of export, the importance of Lower Mississippi ports, the largest destination for grain export from the US to the rest of the world, is going to diminish, where as the role of Pacific Northwest ports are simulated to increase. Considering overall demand for modes of transportation for total grain shipments, demand for rail and truck is expected to rise, while demand for barge mode is projected to drop.

description: The new technologies and techniques within the cloud have provided a huge variety of new tools for data pipelines and data management. This presentation explores the tools and techniques used by the IMAP SDC at CU Boulder/LASP to create a flexible, reliable, and efficient event-based processing pipeline. Using tools like AWS, infrastructure as code, and Docker, the IMAP SDC has created data storage, tracking, and processing capabilities for the 10 instruments on IMAP, many of which are interconnected within processing. By creating an event based system, the SDC is capable of extending and modifying processing based on changing requirements, processing in parallel on multiple Docker containers, and ensuring that files that arrive at unpredictable times are always processed as quickly as possible.

description: We have investigated the time evolution of the vacancy-mediated disordering process in binary alloys at finite temperatures. Qualitatively, we monitor the changes in the configurations by taking sequences of snapshots for various temperatures and comparing their morphologies. Quantitatively, we carry out Monte Carlo simulations to determine the time-dependent disorder parameter A(L;T;t) and the time-dependent structure factors Sk(t) for moderately low temperatures. This study differs from previous studies done at infinite temperature in that the vacancy here executes highly active walks, which are subjected to nonlinear feedbacks, instead of the random walks that take place in the limit of T ->infinity. We find that the slope of the log-log plot of A(L; T; t) vs. t for finite temperatures follows the temperature dependence given by the Gompertz function and reaches a limiting value of 1/2 only as the temperature approaches infinity. For the structure factors, namely, Sk(t) vs. t, the overall features are similar to those found at infinite T. The two key differences between our results and those at infinite T are the saturated value and the intermediate region in which the portion of the graph whose slope is equal to one becomes smaller and is gradually replaced by a curve having a slope of 0.5. This last difference is especially evident at very low temperatures.
