Supersymmetry in quantum mechanics: An extended view

description: The concept of supersymmetry in a quantum mechanical system is extended, permitting the recognition of many more supersymmetric systems, including very familiar ones such as the free particle. Its spectrum is shown to be supersymmetric, with space-time symmetries used for the explicit construction. No fermionic or Grassmann variables need to be invoked. Our construction extends supersymmetry to continuous spectra. Most notably, while the free particle in one dimension has generally been regarded as having a doubly degenerate continuum throughout, the construction clarifies taht there is a single zero energy state at the base of the spectrum.

description: We present a quantitative benchmark of multiscale models for dendritic growth simulations. We focus on approaches based on phase-field, dendritic needle network, and grain envelope dynamics. As a first step, we focus on isothermal growth of an equiaxed grain in a supersaturated liquid in three dimensions. A quantitative phase-field formulation for solidification of a dilute binary alloy is used as the reference benchmark. We study the effect of numerical and modeling parameters in both needle-based and envelope-based approaches, in terms of their capacity to quantitatively reproduce phase-field reference results. In light of this benchmark, we discuss the capabilities and limitations of each approach in quantitatively and efficiently predicting transient and steady states of dendritic growth. We identify parameters that yield a good compromise between accuracy and computational efficiency in both needle-based and envelope-based models. We expect that these results will guide further developments and utilization of these models, and ultimately pave the way to a quantitative bridging of the dendrite tip scale with that of entire experiments and solidification processes.
Kovacs effect and fluctuation-dissipation relations in 1D kinetically constrained models

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Strong and fragile glass relaxation behaviours are obtained simply changing the constraints of the kinetically constrained Ising chain from symmetric to purely asymmetric. We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of those two models focusing on the Kovacs effect and the fluctuation--dissipation relations. The Kovacs or memory effect, commonly observed in structural glasses, is present for both constraints but enhanced with the asymmetric ones. Most surprisingly, the related fluctuation-dissipation (FD) relations satisfy the FD theorem in both cases. This result strongly differs from the simple quenching procedure where the asymmetric model presents strong deviations from the FD theorem.

description: We report a numerical investigation of the fluctuations of the Lyapunov exponent of a two dimensional non-interacting disordered system. While the ratio of the mean to the variance of the Lyapunov exponent is not constant, as it is in one dimension, its variation is consistent with the single parameter scaling hypothesis.

description: Nowadays, many youth do not have access to gardens at home, nor have they been given the knowledge, skills and motivation to participate in practicing a sustainable food system. In order to increase awareness, garden-based learning has been suggested as an important tool to promote the ecology, economic and social health of a food system. The UBC Food System Project (UBCFSP), the corner stone of Land and Food System 450: Land, Food and Community III, has provided students with an opportunity to participate in improving the current issues associated with the environment through the collaboration of 3 stakeholders from the UBC Faculty of Education and the LFS Orchard Garden (LFSOG). The task of this year’s project is to create a set of workshops focusing on outdoor education that will be offered at a week long Summer Institute aiming to educate teachers about garden-based learning. Our workshop focuses on increasing awareness of a sustainable food system and food security using LFS orchard garden located behind MacMillan building as our based model. The lesson plan is created using templates found in “Turning the Earth: A Month-by-Month Guide to Your School Garden”, which was published by Vancouver School Board. Each lesson plan includes a background of the project, goals and objectives, preparation and resources, and lastly, the lesson outlines. An example of this lesson plan is listed in the appendix section of this paper. The methods for conducting this project are mostly from literature research and comments given by the stakeholders and teaching assistant, which in turn allows us to modify our original focus in a more holistic way. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community. The reader should bear in mind that this is a student project/report and is not an official document of UBC.

description: We present a first implementation of the Dendritic Needle Network (DNN) model for dendritic crystal growth in three dimensions including convective transport in the melt. The numerical solving of the Navier-Stokes equations is performed with finite differences and is validated by comparison with a classical benchmark in fluid mechanics for unsteady flow. We compute the growth behavior of a single equiaxed crystal under a forced convective flow. As expected, the resulting dendrite morphology differs strongly from the case of the purely diffusive regime and from similar two-dimensional simulations. The resulting computationally efficient simulations open the way to studying mechanisms of microstructure selection in presence of fluid flow, using realistic alloys and process parameters.

description: We present measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries for charmless B-meson decays to three-body final states of charged pions and kaons. The analysis uses 81.8 fb^-1 of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B Factory. We measure the branching fractions B(B+ -> pi+ pi- pi+) = (10.9 +/- 3.3 +/- 1.6) x 10^-6, B(B+ -> K+ pi- pi+) = (59.1 +/- 3.8 +/- 3.2) x 10^-6, and B(B+ -> K+ K- K+) = (29.6 +/- 2.1 +/- 1.6) x 10^-6, and provide 90% C.L. upper limits for other decays. We observe no charge asymmetries for these modes.

description: In this study, we analyze two decades of U.S. newspaper coverage of climate change-related health threats, tracking the relative amount of coverage and the apparent drivers of attention at two national and four regional newspapers. Health impacts such as extreme heat, disease, and respiratory problems, and more vivid threats such as hurricanes, are mentioned in fewer than 5% and 10% of the climate change-related articles in national and regional papers, respectively. Most stories that mentioned health threats were in reaction to naturally occurring events such as heat waves or storms; we found few examples of enterprise or explanatory reporting. However, we did find evidence that basic news agenda-building strategies, especially when localized, do generate substantive reporting. These strategies included the release of regionally tailored studies; the sponsorship of regional meetings; and news conferences on the part of a public health-related coalition. Systematic investment in these strategies along with other recommended initiativesis likely to increase substantive news attention to various health threats associated with climate change, and thereby increase the capacity of communities to pursue mitigation and adaptation actions.

Human wealth evolution: trends and fluctuations

description: Is a causal description of human wealth history conceivable? To investigate the matter we introduce a simple causal albeit strongly aggregated model, assuming that the observed wealth growth is mainly driven by human collaborative efforts whose intensity itself increases with increasing wealth. As an empirical reference we use time series describing eight centuries of per capita annual gross domestic products (GDP) of three European countries, the UK, France and Sweden. The model requires a population large enough for disruptive events, e.g. famine, epidemics and wars, not to destroy the fundamental workings of society. The wealth evolution trend can then be described by an ordinary differential equation with three free parameters. The solution features a finite time singularity, which suggests a lack of long term sustainability. The year at which the singularity occurs has a slight variation near 2020 AD from one country to another. GDP time series curtailed after 1900 AD produce similar values for the occurrence of the singularity, which thus could be predicted more than hundred years ago. Curtailing the GDP series from the early years up to 1700 AD also produces stable and consistent predictions for the singularity time. {Power spectra are obtained for de-trended data spanning eight centuries, as well as for the first and last four centuries of the same period. All spectra have an overall signature where the power decays as the inverse frequency squared. The embedded peaks are reminiscent of the cycles described in the economic literature, but are also present in time series far predating industrialization. The background fluctuations in the GDP series is tentatively interpreted as societal response to disruptive stochastic events. e.g. new economic activities following epochal discoveries, as well as wars and epidemics
THE IMPACT OF SOFT SKILLS EDUCATION ON GRADUATE EMPLOYABILITY IN HIGHER INSTITUTIONS
Creators: name: Chinonso, Samuel Nwankwo
Publisher: name: NOLAND JOURNALS
Year: 2024
Subjects: Soft skills, higher education, graduate employability

description: Soft skills are interpersonal skills and competence that help higher education graduates secure jobs and perform well in their personal and career development. It boosts individual confidence and enhances graduate employability. To this effect, the paper discusses soft skills development in higher education as a pathway to graduate productivity. The main thrust of the study is to climax the significance of soft skills in graduate employability. The study examines high-demand soft skills in the jobs market, including analytical, problem-solving, technical and communication skills. The study relies on secondary data including literature, journals, and textbooks to provide an expository analysis of the subject matter. The study highlights that traditional teaching methods prioritize technical knowledge over soft skills, hindering their development in tertiary education. The study submits that possessing soft skills increases employability and acts as a catalyst for personal and career development. The paper suggests that managers of tertiary educational institutions should integrate digital technology into the pedagogical content among others

The main ingredients are the $δ_{\Zp}(V)$ conjecture about the integrality of Perrin-Riou's exponential, which we prove using the theory of $(ϕ,Γ)$-modules, and Iwasawa-theoretic descent techniques used to show that $δ_{\Zp}(V)$ implies $C_{\mathrm{EP}}(L/K,V)$.

Laminar Interface Concept for a HLFC Horizontal Tailplane Leading Edge, Design and Manufacturing Approach

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: With the aim of reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, the CS2 HLFC on HTP project
 is investigating the replacement of a conventional leading edge on the horizontal tailplane of an
 Airbus A350 with a leading edge equipped with an active HLFC system. By extracting the
 boundary layer through a perforated titanium outer skin, the laminar flow is stabilised and thus
 the aerodynamic drag is reduced. In order to prevent laminar-turbulent transition of the
 boundary layer behind the suction area at the leading edge, tight tolerances for gaps and steps
 must be maintained at the interface to the HTP box.
 With state-of-the-art technology, gaps between the components are closed with a filling
 compound. This is a time-consuming process and compliance with the exact geometry is not
 guaranteed due to the strong thermal expansion of the filler. Also, the bolt heads of the structural
 connection can disturb the laminar flow.
 A design concept is presented for the attachment of the leading edge to the HTP box, covering
 the bolts and the gap between the leading edge and the skin of the HTP box with a pre-curved
 steel foil, which is bonded onto the titanium leading edge skin after the leading edge has been
 assembled. This ensures both the accessibility of the fastening elements in the case of a
 necessary replacement if damage has occurred, as well as complying with the aerodynamic
 requirements.

The salient feature of this gauge ensemble is that the chiral symmetry is preserved to a high precision and all topological sectors are sampled ergodically. In this paper, we present the first results of the topological susceptibility and the ground-state hadron mass spectra.

description: Remote state preparation is the variant of quantum state teleportation in which the sender knows the quantum state to be communicated. The original paper introducing teleportation established minimal requirements for classical communication and entanglement but the corresponding limits for remote state preparation have remained unknown until now: previous work has shown, however, that it not only requires less classical communication but also gives rise to a trade-off between these two resources in the appropriate setting. We discuss this problem from first principles, including the various choices one may follow in the definitions of the actual resources. Our main result is a general method of remote state preparation for arbitrary states of many qubits, at a cost of 1 bit of classical communication and 1 bit of entanglement per qubit sent. In this "universal" formulation, these ebit and cbit requirements are shown to be simultaneously optimal by exhibiting a dichotomy. Our protocol then yields the exact trade-off curve for arbitrary ensembles of pure states and pure entangled states (including the case of incomplete knowledge of the ensemble probabilities), based on the recently established quantum-classical trade-off for quantum data compression. The paper includes an extensive discussion of our results, including the impact of the choice of model on the resources, the topic of obliviousness, and an application to private quantum channels and quantum data hiding.

description: We introduce a spin-orbit coupling scheme, where a retro-reflected laser beam selectively diffracts two spin components in opposite directions. Spin sensitivity is provided by sweeping through a magnetic-field sensitive transition while dark states ensure that spontaneous emission remains low. The scheme is adiabatic and thus inherently robust. This tailored spin-orbit coupling allows simultaneous measurements of the spin and momentum distributions of a strontium degenerate Fermi gas, and thus opens the path to momentum-resolved spin correlation measurements on SU(N) quantum magnets.

description: The topic of this contribution is the investigation of quantum states and quantum Hall effect in electron gas subjected to a periodic potential of the lateral lattice. The potential is formed by triangular quantum antidos located on the sites of the square lattice. In a such system the inversion center and the four-fold rotation symmetry are absent. The topological invariants which characterize different magnetic subbands and their Hall conductances are calculated. It is shown that the details of the antidot geometry are crucial for the Hall conductance quantization rule. The critical values of lattice parameters defining the shape of triangular antidots at which the Hall conductance is changed drastically are determined. We demonstrate that the quantum states and Hall conductance quantization law for the triangular antidot lattice differ from the case of the square lattice with cylindrical antidots. As an example, the Hall conductances of magnetic subbands for different antidot geometries are calculated for the case when the number of magnetic flux quanta per unit cell is equal to three.

title: Diazopeptide chemistry
Creators: name: Potterton, Michael Andrew
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: The decomposition of diazopeptides in buffer-acid solutions (formate, acetate and phosphate) arc general-acid-catalysed, but the catalysis for these reactions is attenuated at high buffer-acid concentrations and non-linear second-order plots are observed. This behaviour is evident for both glycyl and non-glycyl diazopeptides, which decompose via different mechanisms i.e. A-2 and A-SE2 mechanisms, respectively. Hence, an explanation for this unusual kinetic behaviour, based on a change in the rate-limiting step with increasing [HA] must be excluded. Further, unlike glycyl diazopeptides, non-glycyl diazopeptides decompose to give products whose structure and yield is independent of the acid-catalyst. Thus, the acid-catalysis and non-linear kinetics observed can neither relate to product forming steps. The only plausible mechanistic explanation for this behaviour must, therefore, relate to the existence of a competing nucleophilic addition pathway of the buffer-acid across the diazo group to form azo-ester compounds. Good evidence was also found via kinetic and product studies, for the occurrence of similar reactions of diazopeptides with amines to form analogous triazene compounds. Such diazopeptide addition reactions may be biologically significant, as the compounds formed may have the potential to act as more stabilised, transportable forms of the cytotoxic diazonium ion. This study also includes the synthesis and spectroscopic characterisation of novel triazene-peptide compounds and metal-triazene-peptide complexes.

The above mechanisms for the decomposition of non-glycyl diazopeptides (where elimination, substitution and neighbouring group reactions arise) are supported by product studies involving spectroscopic analyses and the synthesis of novel, authentic compounds: The formation of cyclic products i.e. epoxides and lactams, from the acidcatalysed decompositions of N-(2-diazo-3-hydroxybutanoyl)glycine ethyl ester (2.1) and N-(2-diazo-3-carbamoylpropanoyl) glycine benzyl ester (4.1), respectively, are reported. Ring-Strained compounds are highly reactive especially towards nucleophiles, and therefore, could possibly be cytotoxic, acting as stabilised alkylating agents. Epoxide alkyl-oxygen bond fission to generate an alkylating agent, and stability for absorption intact from the gastric tract, are two fundamental requirements for the carcinogenic activity of epoxides. Hence, kinetic and product studies for epoxides cis(4.10), (4.14) and cis(4.15), derived via the nitrosation of a-amino threonyl and seryl residues, were carried out for reactions in dilute acidic and basic solutions and in aqueous morpholine. Further, independent studies have shown that epoxide (4.14) is mutagenic by Ames Test.
West African Sufism and the matter of Black life
Creators: name: Carter, Youssef

description:
In this article, I consider how migration practices around the Black Atlantic and discourses of repatriation mobilize Black African diasporic Muslim identities in present-day Senegal and in a mosque in South Carolina that is situated on land that was formerly a slave plantation. I use the term ‘reversion’ as a vocabulary of ‘diasporic becoming’ to signal how notions of Islamic piety are coupled with a politics of Black Atlantic Muslimness in the context of a West African Sufi tariqa – or ‘Black Atlantic Sufism’. Moreover, I consider how identity formation and African Muslim ancestry are impacted by discourses of geographic return and repatriation that are linked to spiritual tourism.

description:
Dans cet article, l’auteur étudie la manière dont les pratiques de migration autour de l’Atlantique noir et les discours de rapatriement mobilisent les identités musulmanes diasporiques africaines noires dans l’actuel Sénégal et dans une mosquée de Caroline du Sud située sur une ancienne plantation d’esclaves. Il utilise le terme « réversion » comme un vocabulaire de « devenir diasporique » pour indiquer comment les notions de piété islamique sont conjuguées à une politique de musulmanité atlantique noire dans le contexte d’une tariqa soufie ouest-africaine, ou « soufisme atlantique noir ». De plus, l’auteur étudie la manière dont la formation de l’identité et l’ascendance musulmane africaine sont impactées par des discours de retour géographique et de rapatriement qui sont liés au tourisme spirituel.

Utilizo o termo ‘reversão’ como um vocabulário de ‘tornar-se da diáspora’ para assinalar como noções de piedade islâmica estão associadas a uma política de muçulmanidade negra atlântica no contexto de um sufi tariqa da África Ocidental – ou ‘Sufismo do Atlântico Negro’. Além disso, considero como a formação da identidade e a ascendência muçulmana africana são influenciadas pelos discursos de retorno geográfico e repatriação que estão ligados ao turismo espiritual.

description: In this note we present several ideas toward the solution to the giant graviton puzzle - the apparent multiplicity of supergravity states dual to field theory chiral primary operators. We use the fact that, for certain ranges of the angular momentum, giant gravitons can be mapped into vacua of a dual theory to argue that the sphere and $AdS$ giant gravitons have very different boundary descriptions, and that an unpolarized KK graviton is unphysical in the regime where giant gravitons exist. We also show that a generic boundary state can correspond to different giant graviton configurations, which have non-overlapping ranges of validity.

description: Recent experiments suggested that homeostatic regulation of synaptic balance leads the visual system to recover and maintain a regime of power-law avalanches. Here we study an excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) mean-field neuronal network that has a critical point with power-law avalanches and synaptic balance. When short term depression in inhibitory synapses and firing threshold adaptation are added, the system hovers around the critical point. This homeostatically self-organized quasi-critical (SOqC) dynamics generates E/I synaptic current cancellation in fast time scales, causing fluctuation-driven asynchronous-irregular (AI) firing. We present the full phase diagram of the model without adaptation varying external input versus synaptic coupling. This system has a rich dynamical repertoire of spiking patterns: synchronous regular (SR), asynchronous regular (AR), synchronous irregular (SI), slow oscillations (SO) and AI. It also presents dynamic balance of synaptic currents, since inhibitory currents try and compensate excitatory currents over time, resulting in both of them scaling linearly with external input. Our model thus unifies two different perspectives on cortical spontaneous activity: both critical avalanches and fluctuation-driven AI firing arise from SOqC homeostatic adaptation, and are indeed two sides of the same coin.

EeV Astrophysical neutrinos from FSRQs?

description: Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQ) are the most powerful blazars in the gamma-ray band. Although they are supposed to be good candidates in producing high energy neutrinos, no secure detection of FSRQs has been obtained up to now, except for a possible case of PKS B1424-418. In this work, we compute the expected flux of high energy neutrinos from FSRQs using standard assumptions for the properties of the radiation fields filling the regions surrounding the central supermassive black hole. We obtain as a result that high energy neutrinos are naturally expected from FSRQs in the sub-EeV-EeV energy range and not at PeV energies. This justifies the non-observation of neutrinos from FSRQs with the present technology, since only neutrinos below 10 PeV have been observed. We found that for a non-negligible range of the parameters the cumulative flux from FSRQs is comparable to or even exceeds the expected cosmogenic neutrino flux. This result is intriguing and highlights the importance to disentangle these point-source emissions from the diffuse cosmogenic background.

Possible superlattice formation in high-temperature treated carbonaceous MgB2 at elevated pressure

description: We report indications of a phase transition in carbonaceous MgB2 above 9 GPa at 300 K after stress relaxation by laser heating. The transition was detected using Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The observed changes are consistent with a second-order structural transition involving a doubling of the unit cell along c and a reduction of the boron site symmetry. Moreover, the Raman spectra suggest a reduction in electron-phonon coupling in the slightly modified MgB2 structure consistent with the previously proposed topological transition in MgB2. However, further attributes including deviatoric stress, lattice defects, and compositional variation may play an important role in the observed phenomena.

title: Towards an Intelligent Learning Environment for Melody Composition Through Formalisation of Narmour's Implication-Realisation Model
Creators: name: Smith, Matthew Richard
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: This thesis describes research with the ultimate goal o f finding ways to use artificial intelligence (AI) to encourage and facilitate melody composition by musical novices. The work described in this thesis forms the groundwork for the development of intelligent learning environments for novice composers in this domain.

There were two stages to the research. The first stage was the formalisation and testing of an existing analytical theory o f melody. This theory offers an explanation of how musical listeners break-up a melody into "chunks", and hear some notes as more important than others. The theory enables analysis of melodies in a hierarchical fashion. The formalisation process involved the implementation of a parser to create hierarchical analyses, and comparison of published analyses based on the theory with those created by the parser from the same melodies. From these results a critical evaluation of the analytical theory, and the parser, is presented.

The second stage o f the research involved extending the parser with constraint-based generation techniques. One result is an AI tool (called MOTIVE), which can generate melodies given an analysis (from the parser, or constructed by the user) and a set of constraints to be applied at each hierarchical level. The features of the tool are presented, and a general architecture for an intelligent learning environment is proposed, within which MOTIVE would reside, which shows how the formalised analytical theory from the first part of the work could be used educationally by novice composers of melody.

Diverting waste, conserving natural resources : composting toilets for the new SUB
Creators: name: Baker-French, Jay
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The AMS has adopted the Lighter Footprint Strategy showing student interest in and support for the pursuit of a reduced campus environmental impact. The project of building a new SUB for UBC students presents the AMS with a significant opportunity to demonstrate this commitment on a uniquely large and high profile scale. Our management of human excreta is an area in which we can begin to replace linear, extractive, wasteful practices with ones that more closely resemble the natural cycling of nutrients and other resources in ecosystems. Composting toilets incorporated into the design and maintenance of buildings can be a facilitating infrastructure component of such an alternative excreta management system. Incorporating a composting toilet system into the new SUB would place the AMS and UBC amongst the world’s leaders in both the practice of and research on ecologically sound and beneficial excreta management and leading edge institutional sustainability practices. There is also tremendous potential for experiential education through a composting toilet system in the SUB. There are few subjects considered more taboo than human excreta and our relationship with them; yet the issues surrounding excreta management are important to sustainability and health. A composting toilet system, including promotional materials and signage, is a way to engage UBC students, faculty, staff and visitors on many levels with the issues surrounding human excreta management and environmental sustainability in general.Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: We present the results of CO observations toward 14 host galaxies of long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at z = 0.1-2.5 by using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. We successfully detected CO(3-2) or CO(4-3) emission in eight hosts (z = 0.3-2), which more than doubles the sample size of GRB hosts with CO detection. The derived molecular gas mass is $M_{\rm gas} = (0.2-6) \times 10^{10}$ $M_{\odot}$ assuming metallicity-dependent CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factors. By using the largest sample of GRB hosts with molecular gas estimates (25 in total, of which 14 are CO-detected) including results from the literature, we compared molecular gas properties with those of other star-forming galaxies (SFGs). The GRB hosts tend to have a higher molecular gas mass fraction ($μ_{\rm gas}$) and a shorter gas depletion timescale ($t_{\rm depl}$) as compared with other SFGs at similar redshifts especially at $z \lesssim 1$. This could be a common property of GRB hosts or an effect introduced by the selection of targets which are typically above the main-sequence line. To eliminate the effect of selection bias, we analyzed $μ_{\rm gas}$ and $t_{\rm depl}$ as a function of the distance from the main-sequence line ($δ$MS). We find that the GRB hosts follow the same scaling relations as other SFGs, where $μ_{\rm gas}$ increases and $t_{\rm depl}$ decreases with increasing $δ{\rm MS}$. No molecular gas deficit is observed when compared to other SFGs of similar SFR and stellar mass. These findings suggest that the same star-formation mechanism is expected to be happening in GRB hosts as in other SFGs.
