description: Several observations are revealing the widespread occurrence of mildly relativistic wide-angle AGN winds strongly interacting with the gas of their host galaxy. Such winds are potential cosmic-ray accelerators, as supported by gamma-ray observations of the nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068 with the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope. The non-thermal emission produced by relativistic particles accelerated by the AGN-driven wind observed in the circum-nuclear molecular disk of such galaxy is invoked to produce the gamma-ray spectrum. The AGN wind model predicts a hard spectrum that extend in the very high energy band which differs significantly from those corresponding to other models discussed in the literature, like starburst or AGN jet. We present dedicated simulations of observations through the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the next-generation ground based gamma-ray observatory, of the very high energy spectrum of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068 assuming the AGN wind and the AGN jet models. We demonstrate that, considering 50 hours of observations, CTA can be effectively used to constrain the two different emission models, providing important insight into the physics governing the acceleration of particles in non-relativistic AGN-driven outflows. This analysis strongly motivates observations of Seyfert and starburst galaxies with CTA in order to test source population models of the extragalactic gamma-ray and neutrino backgrounds.

description: Transcription and translation are essential cellular processes that are coupled in bacteria. Though it was well-known that the rate of translation matches the rate of transcription, only in 2010 did evidence suggest direct physical coupling between the transcribing RNA polymerase (RNAP) and the translating ribosome. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy data showed that the RNAP-binding, transcription factor NusG could bind to the small ribosomal subunit protein, S10, through its C-terminal domain, thus, suggesting a model in which NusG simultaneously binds the transcription and translation machineries. In Chapter Two, I describe my investigations of the mechanism through which NusG-mediated transcription-translation coupling is established in bacteria, and how this coupling is regulated during gene expression. Specifically, I employed cell extract-based luciferase assays and purified C-terminal NusG mutants to show that the NusG N-terminal domain (NTD) and NusG F165A both inhibit transcription. This inhibitory effect was suppressed in an extract derived from a backtracking-resistant RNAP mutant strain, indicating that preventing backtracking by linking RNAP to the lead ribosome is a key function of NusG. While working with the cell extract-based luciferase assay system used to study NusG, I observed that deleting the cryptic rac prophage resulted in cell extracts with extremely low luciferase activity despite the strain having no phenotype in vivo. This initial observation grew into the project described in Chapter Three in which I explore the possibility of viral control of host genes by the poorly characterized rac prophage protein, RacR, through a combination of biochemical methods, structural modeling, bioinformatic analysis, and next-generation, transcriptome-wide, deep RNA sequencing. Taken together, the results reveal overlap between computationally predicted host gene targets and messenger RNA expression levels and suggest that RacR can function as a DNA-binding transcriptional regulator of host genes.
Inverse Chapman-Enskog Derivation of the Thermohydrodynamic Lattice-BGK Model for the Ideal Gas

description: A thermohydrodynamic lattice-BGK model for the ideal gas was derived by Alexander et al. in 1993, and generalized by McNamara et al. in the same year. In these works, particular forms for the equilibrium distribution function and the transport coefficients were posited and shown to work, thereby establishing the sufficiency of the model. In this paper, we rederive the model from a minimal set of assumptions, and thereby show that the forms assumed for the shear and bulk viscosities are also necessary, but that the form assumed for the thermal conductivity is not. We derive the most general form allowable for the thermal conductivity, and the concomitant generalization of the equilibrium distribution. In this way, we show that it is possible to achieve variable (albeit density-dependent) Prandtl number even within a single-relaxation-time lattice-BGK model. We accomplish this by demanding analyticity of the third moments and traces of the fourth moments of the equilibrium distribution function. The method of derivation demonstrates that certain undesirable features of the model -- such as the unphysical dependence of the viscosity coefficients on temperature -- cannot be corrected within the scope of lattice-BGK models with constant relaxation time.

Density jump as a function of magnetic field for collisionless shocks in pair plasmas: the perpendicular case

description: In the absence of frequent binary collisions to isotropize the plasma, the fulfillment of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Rankine-Hugoniot jump conditions by collisionless shocks is not trivial. In particular, the presence of an external magnetic field can allow for stable anisotropies, implying some departures from the isotropic MHD jumps. The functional dependence of such anisotropies in terms of the field is yet to be determined. By hypothesizing a kinetic history of the plasma through the shock front, we recently devised a theory of the downstream anisotropy, hence of the density jump, in terms of the field strength for a parallel shock [J. Plasma Phys. (2018), vol. 84, 905840604]. Here, we extend the analysis to the case of a perpendicular shock. We still find that the field reduces the density jump, but the effect is less pronounced than in the parallel case.

My experience with the Ron Bick Lee collection as a young archivist
Creators: name: Zhang, Qinqin
name: 张, 沁沁
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The Ron Bick Lee collection was donated by the Lee family in Vancouver, British Columbia to the University of British Columbia Library in 2010. Ron Bick Lee was a Chinese Canadian pioneer who moved to Canada from China in 1910 and spent most of his life in Vancouver. He was well known as a successful businessman and a dedicated community leader. As a recent library school graduate, I was privileged to have the opportunity of working on this important collection as an archivist since July 2011 to October 2011. The collection material spans from 1914 to 1994, almost a century long, and it mainly contains Ron Bick Lee’s personal correspondence, certificates presented to him for his community and political involvement, and business documents related to his Foo Hung and Granville Greenhouses business. His correspondence with his families, friends and business partners in China, Hong Kong and North America depicts his vast network across the Pacific Ocean. Working with the collection was a valuable and enjoyable learning process. The physical processing stage was my first thorough encounter of the collection. By rearranging the collection material, I was able to conceptualize the types of the material. In writing the finding aid document, I studied the collection in order to gain a good understanding of the scope and content of the material. The collection material has portrayed the immigration experience of Chinese Canadian in general and Ron Bick Lee’s personal experience as a businessman, a community leader and a family member of his immediate and extended families. As a young archivist whose own life experience has little overlap with Mr. Bick Lee’s, I had challenges of grasping the background of some of his documents, understanding part of his handwriting, and making connections among people in his vast network. However, these challenges motivated me to research more details in and outside the collection for a better understanding of Ron Bick Lee himself as the creator of the collection and the historical and cultural setting he has lived in. Throughout the arrangement and the description stages of the collection, I felt as if I were getting to know Mr. Bick Lee as a person, his meticulous work habits, intellectual curiosity and generous personality. This was probably the most interesting and rewarding part of my experience with the collection. This overseas Chinese rare collection is a very valuable source to explore the Chinese Canadian history in the 20th century. Ron Bick Lee’s remarkable story depicted in the collection gives us a vivid image of a Chinese Canadian pioneer in British Columbia, particularly in Vancouver. Research methodology such as unstructured observation in the scope of qualitative research was employed during the research.

description: A method is described for predicting statistical properties of turbulence. Collections of Fourier amplitudes are represented by nonuniformly spaced modes with enhanced coupling coefficients. The statistics of the full dynamics can be recovered from the time-averaged predictions of the reduced model. A Liouville theorem leads to inviscid equipartition solutions. Excellent agreement is obtained with two-dimensional forced-dissipative pseudospectral simulations. For the two-dimensional enstrophy cascade, logarithmic corrections to the high-order structure functions are observed.

description: Employing an inertial measurement unit (IMU) as an additional sensor can dramatically improve both reliability and accuracy of visual/Lidar odometry (VO/LO). Different IMU integration models are introduced using different assumptions on the linear acceleration from the IMU. In this paper, a novel IMU integration model is proposed by using switched linear systems. The proposed approach assumes that both the linear acceleration and the angular velocity in the body frame are constant between two consecutive IMU measurements. This is more realistic in real world situation compared to existing approaches which assume that linear acceleration is constant in the world frame while angular velocity is constant in the body frame between two successive IMU measurements. Experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art IMU integration model. The proposed model is thus important for localization of high speed autonomous vehicles in GPS denied environments.

description: We consider a supersymmetric model with a single matter supermultiplet in a five-dimensional space-time with orbifold compactification along the fifth dimension. The boundary conditions on the two orbifold planes are chosen in such a way that supersymmetry remains unbroken on the boundaries. We calculate the vacuum energy-momentum tensor in a configuration in which the boundary branes are moving with constant velocity. The results show that the contribution from fermions cancels that of bosons only in the static limit, but in general a velocity-dependent Casimir energy arises between the branes. We relate this effect to the particle production due to the branes motion and finally we discuss some cosmological consequences.

description: At SwissFEL, a fully non-invasive characterization of the beam energy distribution can be performed by means of a Synchrotron-Radiation-Monitor (SRM) imaging in the visible the transverse profile of the electron beam in a magnetic chicane. Under conditions of off-crest acceleration in the SwissFEL injector, according to a first order Taylor series expansion, the distribution of the relative energy of the electron beam can be linearly expressed as a function of the distribution of the electron longitudinal coordinates via the coefficient of the rf induced beam energy chirp. It is hence possible to express the distribution of the electron longitudinal coordinates at the entrance of the magnetic chicane of SwissFEL as a function of the distribution of the dispersed electron trajectories in the horizontal plane of the magnetic chicane. Machine parameters and instrument data at SwissFEL can be beam-synchronously acquired. A shot-by-shot correlation between the analysis results of the SRM camera images and the linear coefficient of the beam energy chirp resulting from the rf parameters of the injector can be hence established. Finally, taking into account the compression factor of the magnetic chicane, the electron bunch length at the exit of the magnetic chicane can be expressed as a function of the horizontal size of the electron beam imaged by the SRM. Bunch-length measurements performed by means of the SRM in the first magnetic chicane of SwissFEL will be presented.

description: This dissertation argues that interethnic romance narratives reflect and express central religious, political, racial, and gendered identities and agendas of Jewish American literature and culture in the early twentieth century.  Chapter One shows that fin-de-siècle Reform Jewish women authors employed interethnic romance narratives to express a belief in America as exceptional as a place of religious and gender egalitarianism.  Chapter Two turns to journalist and fiction writer Abraham Cahan, who wrote interethnic romance narratives to weigh the balance between idealism and pragmatism, socialist universalist values and the principles of Jewish nationalism in determining the character of Jewishness in America. Chapter Three demonstrates that Jewish American women’s popular fictions of interethnic romance in the 1920s employed interethnic romance plots to show women’s independence and mobility in light of early feminism and to express the limitations of feminist discourse when it ran counter to their ethnic identities.  Chapter Four describes how narratives of interethnic romance written by Yiddish writers I. I. Shvarts, Joseph Opatoshu, Isaac Raboy, and David Ignatov employ tropes of interethnic romance together with geographical border crossings into non-immigrant or non-Jewish spaces, co-locating physical dislocation and disorientation and intimate interpersonal desire and unease.  Together, these studies demonstrate the significance of interethnic romance in the American Jewish collective imaginary in this period and reveal the flexibility and longevity of this central theme in American Jewish discourse.

description: Apollonian circle packings arise by repeatedly filling the interstices between four mutually tangent circles with further tangent circles. We observe that there exist Apollonian packings which have strong integrality properties, in which all circles in the packing have integer curvatures and rational centers such that (curvature)$\times$(center) is an integer vector. This series of papers explain such properties. A {\em Descartes configuration} is a set of four mutually tangent circles with disjoint interiors. We describe the space of all Descartes configurations using a coordinate system $\sM_\DD$ consisting of those $4 \times 4$ real matrices $\bW$ with $\bW^T \bQ_{D} \bW = \bQ_{W}$ where $\bQ_D$ is the matrix of the Descartes quadratic form $Q_D= x_1^2 + x_2^2+ x_3^2 + x_4^2 -{1/2}(x_1 +x_2 +x_3 + x_4)^2$ and $\bQ_W$ of the quadratic form $Q_W = -8x_1x_2 + 2x_3^2 + 2x_4^2$. There are natural group actions on the parameter space $\sM_\DD$. We observe that the Descartes configurations in each Apollonian packing form an orbit under a certain finitely generated discrete group, the {\em Apollonian group}. This group consists of $4 \times 4$ integer matrices, and its integrality properties lead to the integrality properties observed in some Apollonian circle packings. We introduce two more related finitely generated groups, the dual Apollonian group and the super-Apollonian group, which have nice geometrically interpretations. We show these groups are hyperbolic Coxeter groups.

We use the Fermi Blazar Sequence and mass estimates of Fermi FSRQs, and gamma-ray emitting Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies, to model the radio emission of FSRQs as a function of mass alone, assuming a near-Eddington accretion rate, which is suggested by current quasar surveys at z > 6. This is used to determine the smallest visible black hole mass as a function of redshift in two competing cosmologies we compare in this paper: the standard LCDM model and the R_h=ct universe. We then apply lockstep growth to the observed black-hole mass function at $z=6$ in order to devolve that population to higher redshifts and determine the number of FSRQs detectable by the SKA surveys as a function of z. We find that at the redshifts for which this method is most valid, LCDM predicts ~30 times more FSRQs than R_h=ct for the Wide survey, and ~100 times more in the Medium-Deep survey. These stark differences will allow the SKA surveys to strongly differentiate between these two models, possibly rejecting one in comparison with the other at a high level of confidence.

description: The dependence of the Lyapunov exponent on the closeness parameter, $ε$, in tangent bifurcation systems is investigated. We study and illustrate two averaging procedures for defining Lyapunov exponents in such systems. First, we develop theoretical expressions for an isolated tangency channel in which the Lyapunov exponent is defined on single channel passes. Numerical simulations were done to compare theory to measurement across a range of $ε$ values. Next, as an illustration of defining the Lyapunov exponent on many channel passes, a simulation of the intermittent transition in the logistic map is described. The modified theory for the channels is explained and a simple model for the gate entrance rates is constructed. An important correction due to the discrete nature of the iterative flow is identified and incorporated in an improved model. Realistic fits to the data were made for the Lyapunov exponents from the logistic gate and from the full simulation. A number of additional corrections which could improve the treatment of the gates are identified and briefly discussed.

Chinese picture books at the Northeast Kansas Library System member libraries : a descriptive approach

description: Children’s picture books provide images and knowledge for small children to learn about other people, places, and cultures. Many public libraries of major cities in the United States have a branch targeting service to Chinese residents such as the Chicago Public Library Chinatown Branch, San Francisco, and Los Angeles public library systems. These libraries have a tremendous collection of Chinese children picture books. As a Chinese American librarian, I am curious to find out, what kinds of Chinese picture books are housed in the Mid-Western public libraries of the United States, where the communities are predominantly Caucasian (European American). This study explores the Chinese picture book collection of the 16 Northeast Kansas Library System libraries. A total of 118 titles of eight hundred and fifty-eight Chinese picture books are recorded. This study suggests that population ethnicity is not a factor for purchasing Chinese children's picture books amongst the local libraries. Despite the demographic statistics, it appears that many Mid-Western residents are interested in exploring Chinese culture and its fascinating folklore stories. The main themes of the Chinese children's books have moved away from the predominant folklores to the contemporary stories.

description: The dynamical encirclement around a second order exceptional point (EP) and corresponding chirality driven nonadiabatic modal dynamics have attracted enormous attention in the topological study of various non-Hermitian systems. However, dynamical encirclement around multiple second-order EPs in a multi-state system is yet to be explored. Here, exploiting an exclusive design of a planar gain-loss assisted three-mode supported optical waveguide with local Kerr-nonlinearity, we encounter multiple second-order EPs. Judiciously, choosing a specific parameter space by varying the unbalanced gain-loss profile, we encircle multiple EPs simultaneously, and explore the beam-dynamics toward corresponding chiral or non-chiral aspects of the device. While propagating through the designed waveguide, three coupled modes are collapsed into a specific dominating mode, owing to corresponding nonadiabatic corrections around multiple EPs. Even in the absence of chirality, here, the same amount of focusing and de-focusing type nonlinearity gives different dominating output, irrespective of the choice of inputs, for the same topological structure of the waveguide. This exclusive topologically robust compact scheme of nonlinearity induced asymmetric and non-chiral light dynamics should provide a promising opportunity to switch or retrieve a selective mode from a multi-mode signal in integrated devices.

description: The paper examines the discrete-time dynamics of neuron models (of excitatory and inhibitory types) with piecewise linear activation functions, which are connected in a network. The properties of a pair of neurons (one excitatory and the other inhibitory) connected with each other, is studied in detail. Even such a simple system shows a rich variety of behavior, including high-period oscillations and chaos. Border-collision bifurcations and multifractal fragmentation of the phase space is also observed for a range of parameter values. Extension of the model to a larger number of neurons is suggested under certain restrictive assumptions, which makes the resultant network dynamics effectively one-dimensional. Possible applications of the network for information processing are outlined. These include using the network for auto-association, pattern classification, nonlinear function approximation and periodic sequence generation.

description: If SU(N) gauge fields live in a world with a circular extra dimension, coupling there only to adjointly charged matter, the system possesses a global Z(N) symmetry. If the radius is small enough such that dimensional reduction takes place, this symmetry is spontaneously broken. It turns out that its fate at high temperatures is not easily decided with straightforward perturbation theory. Utilising non-perturbative lattice simulations, we demonstrate here that the symmetry does get restored at a certain temperature T_c, both for a 3+1 and a 4+1 dimensional world (the latter with a finite cutoff). To avoid a cosmological domain wall problem, such models would thus be allowed only if the reheating temperature after inflation is below T_c. We also comment on the robustness of this phenomenon with respect to small modifications of the model.

description: This thesis presents the MicroBooNE search for the MiniBooNE low energy excess using a fully automated image based data reconstruction scheme. A suite of traditional and deep learning computer vision algorithms are developed for identification of charge current quasi-elastic (CCQE) like muon and electron neutrino interactions using the MicroBooNE detector. Given a model of the MiniBooNE low energy excess as due to an enhancement of electron neutrino type events, this analysis predicts a combined statistical and systematic 3.8σ low energy signal in 13.2 × 1020 POT of MicroBooNE data. When interpreted in the context of νμ → νe 3 + 1 sterile neutrino oscillations a best fit point of (∆m241, sin2 2θeμ) = (0.063,0.794) is found with a 90% confidence allowed region consistent with > 0.1 eV2 oscillations

description: We develop our existing two-dimensional lattice-gas model to simulate the flow of single-phase, binary-immiscible and ternary-amphiphilic fluids. This involves the inclusion of fixed obstacles on the lattice, together with the inclusion of ``no-slip'' boundary conditions. Here we report on preliminary applications of this model to the flow of such fluids within model porous media. We also construct fluid invasion boundary conditions, and the effects of invading aqueous solutions of surfactant on oil-saturated rock during imbibition and drainage are described.

description: We construct a two-orbital effective model for a ferromagnetic Kagome-lattice shandite, $\rm{{Co}_3{Sn}_2{S}_2}$, a candidate material of magnetic Weyl semimetals, by considering one $d$ orbital from Co, and one $p$ orbital from interlayer Sn. The energy spectrum near the Fermi level, and the configurations of the Weyl points, computed by using our model, are similar to those obtained by first principle calculations. We show also that nodal rings appear even with spin-orbit coupling when the magnetization points in-plane direction. Additionally, magnetic properties of $\rm{{Co}_3{Sn}_2{S}_2}$ and other shandite materials are discussed.

description: Aggregating responses from crowd workers is a fundamental task in the process of crowdsourcing. In cases where a few experts are overwhelmed by a large number of non-experts, most answer aggregation algorithms such as the majority voting fail to identify the correct answers. Therefore, it is crucial to extract reliable experts from the crowd workers. In this study, we introduce the notion of "expert core", which is a set of workers that is very unlikely to contain a non-expert. We design a graph-mining-based efficient algorithm that exactly computes the expert core. To answer the aggregation task, we propose two types of algorithms. The first one incorporates the expert core into existing answer aggregation algorithms such as the majority voting, whereas the second one utilizes information provided by the expert core extraction algorithm pertaining to the reliability of workers. We then give a theoretical justification for the first type of algorithm. Computational experiments using synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate that our proposed answer aggregation algorithms outperform state-of-the-art algorithms.

The Merits of Money and "Muscle": Essays on Criminality, Elections and Democracy in India

description: This dissertation seeks to understand how democratic elections can coexist with a significant number of politicians implicated in criminal wrongdoing. Specifically, it seeks answers to three questions. Why do parties nominate candidates with criminal backgrounds?  Why do voters vote for them?  And what does their proliferation mean for democratic accountability?  To address these questions, I draw on a wide body of quantitative and qualitative evidence from India, the world's largest democracy. I argue that parties are attracted to criminal politicians because they have access to financial resources that allow them to function as self-financing candidates. Whereas the prevailing consensus in political economy suggests that voters support "bad politicians" because they lack adequate information on candidate quality, I develop an alternate theory that suggests well-informed voters can display rational behavior by voting for such candidates. Specifically, in contexts where social divisions are highly salient, voters often desire a representative who they perceive can protect group-based interests most credibly. In such settings, criminality can serve as a useful signal of a candidate's credibility. As a result, parties selectively field criminal candidates in those areas where social divisions are most pronounced. The implications of this study are far reaching because they suggest that information about a candidate's criminality is not only available, but actually is central to understanding the viability of his candidacy. Thus, there are circumstances in which "bad politicians" can in fact be compatible with democratic accountability. Empirically, this dissertation makes use of a unique, author-constructed database of affidavits submitted by more than 60,000 candidates contesting state and national elections between 2003 and 2009. This dataset contains detailed information on candidates' financial and criminal records from 37 elections, which I analyze using state-of-the-art quantitative methods. I complement these quantitative analyses with qualitative fieldwork conducted in three states, including an in-depth exploration of the case of Bihar, a state in north India.
