description: We re-calculate the exclusive semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of $B_c$ meson to a $P$-wave charmonium in terms of the improved Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) approach, which is developed recently. Here the widths for the exclusive semileptonic and nonleptonic decays, the form factors, and the charged lepton spectrums for the semileptonic decays are precisely calculated. To test the concerned approach by comparing with experimental measurements when the experimental data are available, and to have comparisons with the other approaches the results obtained by the approach and those by some approaches else as well as the original B-S approach, which appeared in literature, are comparatively presented and discussed.

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: This work develops an algorithm for PDE-constrained shape optimization based on Lipschitz transformations. Building on previous work in this field, the $p$-Laplace operator is utilized to approximate a descent method for Lipschitz shapes. In particular, it is shown how geometric constraints are algorithmically incorporated avoiding penalty terms by assigning them to the subproblem of finding a suitable descent direction. A special focus is placed on the scalability of the proposed methods for large scale parallel computers via the application of multigrid solvers. The preservation of mesh quality under large deformations, where shape singularities have to be smoothed or generated within the optimization process, is also discussed. It is shown that the interaction of hierarchically refined grids and shape optimization can be realized by the choice of appropriate descent directions. The performance of the proposed methods is demonstrated for energy dissipation minimization in fluid dynamics applications.

description: We consider 3d $\mathcal{N} = 4$ theories on the geometry $Σ\times\mathbb{R}$, where $Σ$ is a closed and connected Riemann surface, from the point of view of a quantum mechanics on $\mathbb{R}$. Focussing on the elementary mirror pair in the presence of real deformation parameters, namely SQED with one hypermultiplet (SQED[1]) and the free hypermulitplet, we study the algebras of local operators in the respective quantum mechanics as well as their action on the vector space of supersymmetric ground states. We demonstrate that the algebras can be described in terms of Heisenberg algebras, and that they act in a way reminiscent of Segal-Bargmann (B-twist of the free hypermultiplet) and Nakajima (A-twist of SQED[1]) operators.

description: Nonobservation of superparticles till date, new Higgs mass limits from the CMS and ATLAS experiments, WMAP constraints on relic density, various other low energy data, and the naturalness consideration, all considered simultaneously imply a paradigm shift of supersymmetric model building. In this paper we perform, for the first time, a detailed numerical study of brane-world induced supersymmetry breaking for both minimal and next-to-minimal scenarios. We observe that a naturally hierarchical spectrum emerges through an interplay of bulk, brane-localized and quasi-localized fields, which can gain more relevance in the subsequent phases of the LHC run.

Jump parameter estimation with low cost micro-electro-mechanical system sensors and global positioning system for action sports goggles
Creators: name: Sadi, Fazle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Algorithms to detect athletic jumps and to determine in real-time performance parameters such as jump air time (AT), horizontal distance, height and drop, are developed in this work. These algorithms are customized to be implemented onboard action sports goggles developed by Recon Instruments Ltd. These goggles are equipped with low cost micro-electro-mechanical inertial sensors and a single point GPS receiver which feed raw data to the algorithms. The micro-LCD display system in the goggles displays jump statistics to the user wearing the goggles. Two novel methods, namely WMCM (Windowed Mean Canceled Multiplication) and PFAD (Preceding and Following Acceleration Difference), are introduced for jump detection using accelerometer data. Four characteristic points in the resultant acceleration data are selected as the AT defining epochs for a jump. A novel threshold independent, probabilistic method using MADM (Multiple Attribute Decision Making) and the Closest Peak method are proposed to detect these characteristic points and determine the corresponding AT of a jump. A GPS/INS integration algorithm is developed to determine jump horizontal distance, height and drop. A novel sensor error compensation scheme is developed using sensor fusion and Linear Kalman Filters (LKF). The LKF parameters are varied to address the fluctuating dynamics of the athlete during a jump. The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) used for GPS/INS integration has an observation vector augmented with sensor error measurements derived from sensor fusion. The performance of the proposed algorithms was evaluated through experimental field tests. The proposed jump detection algorithm successfully detected 92% of the jumps performed by a snowboarder wearing the goggles whereas the current Recon algorithm only detects 60%. The AT determination algorithm exhibited an average error of 0.033 s (4.8%) which is well within the accuracy requirement of Recon, ±0.1 s, and betters the current Recon algorithm which has an average error of 0.111 s (8.4%). For determination of jump horizontal distance, height and drop, the proposed algorithm has an error of 14.34 cm (5.55%), 1.56 cm (38.21%) and 6.71 cm (9.43%) respectively. The accuracy achieved is deemed to fulfill expectations of both recreational and professional athletes.

description: Parkinson's disease, which is characterized by a range of motor and non-motor symptoms is categorized into classical Parkinsonian disease (PD) and atypical Parkinsonian syndromes (APS), such as progressive supranuclear palsy Richardson’s syndrome (PSP-RS). The differential diagnosis between PD and PSP-RS is often challenged by similarity of early symptoms, effectively resulting in considerable misclassification rates. The aim of this thesis is to assess the benefits of using biomarkers from multi-modal MRI datasets in the accurate classification of PD vs. PSP-RS. Multi-spectral information form T1-, T2-, and diffusion-weighted (DWI) MRI from 38 healthy controls (HC), 45 PD, and 20 PSP-RS subjects were available for this study. In detail, morphological (category 1), brain iron marker (category 2), and diffusion features (category 3) were employed. In the last category, all feature types were combined (combinational) for the development of a machine learning model. Nested leave-one-out-cross validation was used to evaluate the classification performance in each category followed by a 1000 permutation test to assess classification significance. The results suggest that, the DWI based classifier tied with the combinational approach in terms of overall accuracy. However, in the former, the specificity was lower by 10%. In detail, 4 PSP-RS and 1 PD subjects are incorrectly classified as PD and PSP-RS in the combinational approach resulting in a sensitivity and specificity of 91.67% and 94.12%, respectively. The obtained results indicate that features extracted from T1- and T2-weighted MRI perform worst based on overall accuracy. All classification categories were statistically significant (p<0.001). In conclusion, combination of features from different MRI modalities such as T1-, T2-, and diffusion-weighted datasets improves the multi-level classification performance of HC vs. PD vs.PSP-RS compared to single modality features, particularly in terms of PD vs. other differentiation. The results and concepts discussed in this research thesis have wide ranging implication for future developments of computer-aided diagnosis of PD sub-syndromes.
A steady-state analytical solution for MOSFET channel temperature estimation
Creators: name: Rajput, Harish C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: A steady state analytical solution for MOSFET (metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) channel temperature estimation has been derived and the analytical model has been used to develop a software tool called HeatMOS©. HeatMOS© estimates the MOSFET channel temperature based on information from the device layout and an industry standard BSIM3 compact model. The steady state solution is an approximation for the channel temperature distribution along its length. The HeatMOS© model has been designed to be integrated into a VLSI CAD flow to predict the steady state temperature of a full micro-chip. An equivalent M-network model for steady state temperature can be extended for each MOSFET device in a complete micro-chip. In future work, HeatMOS© can be combined with the models of interconnect to develop a full micro-chip thermal analysis software tool.
Theoretical upper bound of multiplexing in stochastic sensory receptors

description: Biological sensory receptors provide excellent examples of microscopic scale information transduction amidst stochastic noise. We argue that stochasticity is not always a hindrance to sensing. Instead, it could allow a single stochastic sensor to perform multiplexing: simultaneously transducing multiple types of environmental information to the downstream sensory network. Through a Langevin dynamics simulation of a ligand-receptor sensor in a bath of ligands, we demonstrate that a binary-state receptor can simultaneously encode multiple independent environmental variables, such as ligand concentration and the speed of media flow. We develop a general theory of stochastic sensory multiplexing and suggest two theoretical upper bounds. Furthermore, we conjecture that randomly generated sensors typically saturate the tighter upper bound. The theoretical framework developed in this study, which involves a rank-deficient maximum likelihood analysis (rd-MLE), provides a systematic approach to comprehensively assess a sensor's sensory ability without any initial assumptions. This theoretical framework can inspire the design of more efficient artificial sensors.

description: We study the stochastic nature of switching current in hysteretic current-voltage characteristics of superconductor-graphene-superconductor (SGS) junctions. We find that the dispersion of the switching current distribution scales with temperature as a power law with the power close to 1/3. This observation is in sharp contrast with the known Josephson junction behavior where switching current dispersion is expected to scale with the power 2/3. We propose an explanation using a generalized version of Kurkijarvi's theory for the flux stability in rf-SQUID and attribute this anomalous effect to the temperature dependence of the critical current which persists down to low temperatures.

description: With the launch of the {\em Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer} ({\em WISE}), a new era of detecting planetary debris and brown dwarfs around white dwarfs (WDs) has begun with the {\em WISE} InfraRed Excesses around Degenerates (WIRED) Survey. The WIRED Survey is sensitive to substellar objects and dusty debris around WDs out to distances exceeding 100 pc, well beyond the completeness level of local WDs. In this paper, we present a cross-correlation of the preliminary Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) WD Catalog between the {\em WISE}, Two-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS), and SDSS DR7 photometric catalogs. From $\sim18,000$ input targets, there are {\em WISE} detections comprising 344 "naked" WDs (detection of the WD photosphere only), 1020 candidate WD+M dwarf binaries, 42 candidate WD+brown dwarf (BD) systems, 52 candidate WD+dust disk systems, and 69 targets with indeterminate infrared excess. We classified all of the detected targets through spectral energy distribution model fitting of the merged optical, near-IR, and {\em WISE} photometry. Some of these detections could be the result of contaminating sources within the large ($\approx6\arcsec$) {\em WISE} point spread function; we make a preliminary estimate for the rates of contamination for our WD+BD and WD+disk candidates, and provide notes for each target-of-interest. Each candidate presented here should be confirmed with higher angular resolution infrared imaging or infrared spectroscopy. We also present an overview of the observational characteristics of the detected WDs in the {\em WISE} photometric bands, including the relative frequencies of candidate WD+M, WD+BD, and WD+disk systems.

description: The poster is about our experiences in translating and adapting the DCC How-to Guide “Using RISE, the Research Infrastructure Self Evaluation Framework”. It shows our participative and collaborative approach to enable RDM service planning in educational institutions in german speaking countries resulting in the framework RISE-DE.

Poster won the 1st place at the IDCC2019 poster exhibition.

In the BMBF founded project “FDMentor” five universities from Berlin and Brandenburg are working together to create strategies, plans of actions, roadmaps, guidelines and open access material for an exceptional research data management infrastructure. The Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Freie Universität Berlin, the Technische Universität Berlin, the University of Potsdam and the European University Viadrina bundle their experience to work on the four main tasks: strategy development, policy development, expertise enhancements and networking.

The University of Potsdam is on the verge of implementing a strategy for its research data management and subsequently the members of the project team are working on the main task strategy development and self-evaluation. We wanted to use a participative tool to facilitate RDM service planning for educational institutions. Therefore we chose a tool that enables relevant stakeholders to contribute their experiences and requirements to the process.

Since we already made use of different publications and resources provided by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) we came across the RISE framework (Research Infrastructure Self-Evaluation Framework) published in 2017. We translate the framework for our purpose into German and adopt it for german speaking countries. We got in contact with the authors Jonathan Rans and Angus Whyte who give us useful information and support. Furthermore we connect to other universities to exchange experiences concerning RDM service planning. All that and our practical work in evaluating our own university flow into the RISE-DE framework that has been published as a working paper on Zenodo in Januray 2019.

Climate Change and Range Expansion of Protostrongylid Nematodes in the Canadian Arctic

description: Through this doctoral research, I aimed to determine the diversity, distribution and abundances of protostrongylids in muskoxen and caribou from several sites in Subarctic and Arctic Canada and investigate the northward range expansion of Umingmakstrongylus pallikuukensis and Varestrongylus eleguneniensis in relation to Arctic warming. I first developed morphological keys to differentiate the first stage larvae (L1) of U. pallikuukensis, V. eleguneniensis and Parelaphostrongylus andersoni. This enabled me to identify L1 to the species level and determine the intensity of infections. Secondly, I analyzed over 1600 muskox and caribou fecal samples, and 40 muskox lung samples to determine the diversity, distribution and abundance patterns of protostrongylids. I found that the diversity and abundance of protostrongylids varied geographically. Both U. pallikuukensis and V. eleguneniensis had expanded their ranges and increased in abundance on Victoria Island between 2013 and 2017, with U. pallikuukensis expanding its range faster than V. eleguneniensis. I also detected P. andersoni in the Dolphin and Union caribou herd. In the third part of the study, I determined the important life cycle parameters for U. pallikuukensis and V. eleguneniensis through lab experiments. I demonstrated that V. eleguneniensis has higher thermal requirements for larval development inside the intermediate host, a shorter prepatent and patent period, and lower fecundity than U. pallikuukensis. Based on these findings I hypothesized that higher thermal requirements and lower fecundity might be limiting the rate and extent of range expansion for V. eleguneniensis. Finally, to map the thermal niches of U. pallikuukensis and V. eleguneniensis from 1980 through to 2017, I parametrized a process-based mechanistic model (Degree-day model) using data derived from the lab experiments, the literature, and high-resolution temperature data from a regional climate model. Models indicated a substantial expansion in the zones of climatic suitability for both parasites during the study period with the realized niches of both parasites lagging behind the expansion of their thermal niches. This work contributes to the field of Arctic parasitology by providing simple and effective diagnostic tools for protostrongylids, and adding to the present knowledge on diversity, distribution, abundance as well as ecology of protostrongylid nematodes. Finally, by using a multifaceted approach to investigate the patterns of parasite emergence in the Arctic, this study contributes to the overall understanding of disease emergence in a rapidly changing ecosystem.

description: We present techniques for processing MPEG-audio encoded signals during the decoding process, using efficient fixed-point arithmetic operations. A large signal-to-quantization-noise-ratio is achieved over a large range of input levels. By taking advantage of MPEG audio built-in properties, quantization distortion at the outputs of our systems is kept largely inaudible, even though only low-resolution fixed-point operations are used in the processing.

These models are then used to identify an individual's gait characteristics. The features found from the virtual models are passed through a gait recognition system which provides insight into what type of gait pattern is being observed by the camera. Extensive experiments with different classification methods such as Support Vector Machines, K-Nearest-Neighbors, and Dynamic Bayesian Networks are tested to determine the effectiveness of the system. The proposed gait recognition network is tested using locally collected and publically available databases to validate the results and prove that the system is feasible.

description: It has recently been shown that the spin-orbit coupling gives rise to topologically-nontrivial and thermodynamically-stable gapless superfluid phases when the pseudo-spin populations of an atomic Fermi gas is imbalanced, with the possibility of featuring Majorana zero-energy quasiparticles. In this paper, we consider a Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling, and use the Bogoliubov-de Gennes formalism to analyze a single vortex line along a finite cylinder with a periodic boundary condition. We show that the signatures for the appearance of core- and edge-bound states can be directly found in the density of single-particle states and particle-current density. In particular, we find that the pseudo-spin components counterflow near the edge of the cylinder, the strength of which increases with increasing spin-orbit coupling.

description: Self-assembled quantum dots based on III-V semiconductors have excellent properties for applications in quantum optics. However, the presence of a 2D wetting layer which forms during the Stranski-Krastanov growth of quantum dots can limit their performance. Here, we investigate wetting layer formation during quantum dot growth by the alternative droplet epitaxy technique. We use a combination of photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy, lifetime measurements, and transmission electron microscopy to identify the presence of an InGaAs wetting layer in these droplet epitaxy quantum dots, even in the absence of distinguishable wetting layer photoluminescence. We observe that increasing the amount of Ga deposited on a GaAs (100) surface prior to the growth of InGaAs quantum dots leads to a significant reduction in the emission wavelength of the wetting layer to the point where it can no longer be distinguished from the GaAs acceptor peak emission in photoluminescence measurements.

Copidognathus magnipalpus

description: Copidognathus magnipalpus (Police, 1909)
 Material examined
One male (FDHAL-21/6), one female and one deutonymph, El Pris (sand, 8 m); one male, La Barranquera (sand, mediolittoral zone).
 Diagnosis
 Lengths of males were 325 and 365 µm, of a female 297 µm and 325 µm in a deutonymph (Fig. 3F). Porose areolae of all dorsal plates with canaliculi arranged within polygons. Setae ds-1 on AD, ds-2 within striated integument between AD and OC, ds-3 to ds-5 on PD. Copidognathus magnipalpus is close to C. loricifer. Both species have “Y” shaped areolae on AD. They can be easily distinguished by the type of areolae on AD (ovate porose polygonal areolae in C. magnipalpus, in C. loricifer with rosetta pores) (Bartsch 1979; 2001).
 Remarks
 Copidognathus magnipalpus was described from the Mediterranean Sea (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) by Police (1909). Afterwards the species was reported several times from the Black Sea (Viets 1928; Konnerth-Ionescu 1971; Bartsch 2001, 2004) and Mediterranean Sea (Bartsch 1975; Mari and Morselli 1990; Morselli and Mari 1993; Durucan 2019b). The morphological characteristics and habitat preferences of the specimens from Tenerife are in accordance with previous reports of the species from Türkiye (Bartsch 2001; Durucan 2019b). The female specimen with ciliated by “ Praethecacineta halacari (Schulz, 1933) ” (Figs. 4H, I), which has been recorded from various halacarid mite species and different areas worldwide (Bartsch 2001; Chatterjee et al. 2018; Durucan and Boyaci 2019; Durucan and Dovgal 2022). The record of ciliate species “ P. halacari ” is also the first one from the Canaries.

description: Purpose: To investigate if a neuromuscular training (NMT) warm-up program during preseason improved lower limb balance and maximal muscular power compared to a standard preseason program in alpine ski-racers 10-13-years-old (U14) after 8-weeks. Methods: Quasi-experimental study design. Participants included n=73 skiers from five Alberta Alpine Ski Association (AASA) ski-clubs. Ski-clubs in the intervention group (n=3) completed 2 15-min coach-delivered NMT warm-ups a week, while the standard of care (SOC) (n=2) ski-clubs completed their standard training; NMT warm-up program included balance, strength, and agility exercises. Performance outcome measures completed at baseline and post –testing included: vertical jump (VJ), star excursion balance test (SEBT) reach distances, and predicted VO2max. Results: Participants in the intervention group demonstrated significant improvements on the VJ and SEBT. Conclusions: Dynamic balance and peak leg power improved post implementation of the NMT warm-up program in U14 alpine ski-racers.
Source Separation Based on Binaural Cues and Source Model Constraints

description: We describe a system for separating multiple sources from a two-channel recording based on interaural cues and known characteristics of the source signals. We combine a probabilistic model of the observed interaural level and phase differences with a prior model of the source statistics and derive an EM algorithm for finding the maximum likelihood parameters of the joint model. The system is able to separate more sound sources than there are observed channels. In simulated reverberant mixtures of three speakers the proposed algorithm gives a signal-to-noise ratio improvement of 2.1 dB over a baseline algorithm using only interaural cues.

description: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an autoimmune disease that affects the skin and the musculoskeletal system. It causes joint damage and psoriasis of the skin. Untreated disease is usually related to a delayed diagnosis and has been associated with physical disability and high treatment costs later on. Although expensive biologic therapy has proven to slow disease progression and improve health outcomes, rheumatologists have suggested initiating treatment with less expensive Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs). Identifying early PsA is expected to improve health outcomes through early treatment with DMARDs. It is also expected to reduce the proportion of severe disease and biologic treatment. Given that the prevalence of PsA among psoriasis patients is relatively high, dermatologists are well-positioned to screen for arthritis symptoms with already validated self-administered screening questionnaires for patients with psoriasis. The goal of this thesis is to systematically review the characteristics and accuracy estimates of the validated PsA screening tools (chapter 2). It also seeks to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of implementing a PsA screening program in Canada relative to the current practice where psoriasis patients are not systematically screened (chapter 3). The National Institute of Health Research is currently developing a randomized controlled trial for PsA screening in the United Kingdom that will inform the cost-effectiveness model presented in this thesis.
