description: The stability and mechanism underlying the formation of deposits of casein micelles during ultrafiltration process were investigated by small-angle (SAXS) and ultra small-angle X-ray scattering(USAXS) which allowed us to probe the structure of skimmed milk on an exceptionally wide range of length scales from 1 to 2000 nm. Frontal filtration cells were specially developed to probe the microstructure of deposits by SAXS during the separation process. The results revealed two characteristic length scales for the equilibrium structure with radius of gyrations Rg, about 100 nm and 5.6 nm, pertaining to the globular micelles and their non-globular internal structure respectively (Pignon et al. 2004). In-situ scattering measurements showed that the decrease of permeation flows is directly related to the deformation and compression of the micelles in the immediate vicinity of the membrane (figure 1). From absolute SAXS intensities, the concentration of the micelles in the deposit can be deduced reliably.

description: Aims. We aim to increase the contrast limits to detect new satellites orbiting known asteroids. We use cutting-edge data reduction techniques and data processing algorithms that are essential to best analyse the raw data provided by the instruments and increase their performances. Doing so, the unequalled performances of SPHERE also make it a unique tool to resolve and study asteroids in the solar system, expanding the domain of its main science targets. Methods. We applied a newly developed data reduction pipeline for integral field spectrographs on archival SPHERE data of a resolved asteroid, (130) Elektra. It was coupled with a dedicated point spread function reconstruction algorithm to model the asteroid halo. Following the halo removal, the moon signal could be extracted more accurately. The moon positions were fitted at three epochs and were used to derive the orbital parameters via a genetic-based algorithm. Results. We announce the discovery of S/2014 (130) 2, a third moon orbiting (130) Elektra, making it the first quadruple asteroid ever found. It is identified in three different epochs, 9, 30, and 31 Dec. 2014, at a respective angular separation of 258 mas (333 km), 229 mas (327 km), and 319 mas (457 km). We estimate that this moon has a period of 0.679 day and a semi-major axis of 344 km, with an eccentricity of 0.33 and an inclination of 38 degrees compared to the primary rotation axis. With a relative magnitude to the primary of 10.5, its size is estimated to be 1.6 km.

description: CoRoT-7 b, a planet about 70% larger than the Earth orbiting a Sun-like star, is the first-discovered rocky exoplanet, and hence has been dubbed a "super-Earth". Some initial studies suggested that since the planet is so close to its host star, it receives enough insolation to partially melt its surface. However, these past studies failed to take into consideration the role that tides may play in this system. Even if the planet's eccentricity has always been zero, we show that tidal decay of semi-major axis could have been large enough that the planet formed on a wider orbit which received less insolation. Moreover, CoRoT-7 b could be tidally heated at a rate that dominates its geophysics and drives extreme volcanism. In this case, CoRoT-7 b is a "super-Io" that, like Jupiter's volcanic moon, is dominated by volcanism and rapid resurfacing. Such heating could occur with an eccentricity of just 10^-5. This small value could be driven by CoRoT-7 c if its own eccentricity is larger than ~10^-4. CoRoT-7 b may be the first of a class of planetary super-Ios likely to be revealed by the CoRoT and Kepler spacecraft.

Providing a choice : individual dogs’ preferences for activity-based environmental enrichment in an animal shelter
Creators: name: Hou, Cheng Yu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Activity-based environmental enrichment is known to benefit the welfare of shelter dogs, yet individual preferences remain understudied. This thesis aims to address the gap in measuring enrichment efficacy, investigate if preference tests can identify individual preferences for activity-based enrichment, and compare these findings to behavioural outcomes. I conducted two experimental procedures to assess shelter dogs’ behaviour: a preference test and a behavioural evaluation. In the preference test, six dogs were asked to repeatedly (3-4 trials/day) enter a T-maze, choosing between an off-leash play yard and an on-leash walking trail for 10 minutes each. Preference was assessed using a binomial distribution test against a 50% baseline (α = .05). To validate preferences and assess the dogs' ability to track contingencies, a control phase was introduced, where the preferred exit led to the kennel and the alternate to the preferred enrichment. In the behavioural evaluation, three dogs underwent two additional sessions in both the yard and the trail. Their exploratory and stress-associated behaviours were recorded 10 minutes before, during, and immediate after each session, and scored in every five-second bin by an independent observer and myself. Due to the small sample size, no statistical analyses were undertaken. My observations focused on changes in stress-associated behaviours and differences in exploratory behaviours, visually represented on graphs. Preference could be determined for four dogs (n = 21 trials): Aerial (P(X≥17) = .004, Sky (P(X≥16) = .013), and Timber (P(X≥14) = .015) preferred the yard, while Beau (P(X≥16) = .013) preferred the trail, each averaging 10 trials. Allara (P(X≥13) = .190) and Gina (P(X≥13) = .190) showed no distinct preference. In the control phase, Allara’s preference for the kennel suggested potential influences such as weather, past history, or difficulty in choice discrimination. Conversely, Gina’s choices for the trail demonstrated her ability to track contingencies. Results from the behavioural evaluation revealed increased exploratory behaviours during preferred enrichment but varied changes in stress-associated behaviours post-enrichment. While dogs’ preferences for activity-based environmental enrichment can be identified through preference tests, the access to these preferences does not always align with positive behavioural outcomes.

description: This paper investigates the impacts of climate change on groundwater droughts making use of regional projections and standardized indices: the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) and the Standardized Groundwater Index (SGI). The method adopted, using historical precipitation and temperature data and water levels collected in monitoring wells, first investigates the possible correlations between meteorological and groundwater indices at each well. Then, if there is a correlation, a linear regression analysis is used to model the relationships between SGIs and SPIs, and SGIs and SPEIs. The same relationships are used to infer future SGIs from SPI and SPEI projections obtained by means of an ensemble of Regional Climate Models (RCMs), under different climate scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5). This methodology has been applied to data collected in Tuscany (Italy), where historical series of daily climate variables (since 1934) and daily records for 16 wells, covering the period 2005-2020, are available. The impacts on groundwater have been computed in the short (2006-2035), medium (2036-2065) and long term (2066-2095). The analysis indicates that, in the historical period and for most of the monitoring wells, there is a good correlation between SGIs and SPIs or SPEIs. In a global warming scenario, the influence of temperature on evapotranspiration phenomena cannot be overlooked so the SGI-SPEI relationships seem more suitable to forecast groundwater droughts. According to these relationships, negative effects on groundwater levels in almost all wells are estimated for the futureDue to the type of data required and its simplicity, this methodology can be applied to different areas of interest for a quick estimate of groundwater availability under climate change scenarios.
title: Predicting cycling traffic in cities: Is bikesharing data representative of the cycling volume?

Publisher: name: Hertie School
Year: 2023

description: A higher share of cycling in cities can lead to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, a decrease in noise pollution, and personal health benefits. Data-driven approaches to planning new infrastructure to promote cycling are rare, mainly because data on cycling volume are only available selectively. By leveraging new and more granular data sources, we predict bicycle count measurements in Berlin, using data from free-floating bike-sharing systems in addition to weather, vacation, infrastructure, and socioeconomic indicators. To reach a high prediction accuracy given the diverse data, we make use of machine learning techniques. Our goal is to ultimately predict traffic volume on all streets beyond those with counters and to understand the variance in feature importance across time and space. Results indicate that bike-sharing data are valuable to improve the predictive performance, especially in cases with high outliers, and help generalize the models to new locations.

description: The spatial distribution of the SMC stellar component is investigated from 2MASS data. The morphology of the different age populations is presented. The center of the distribution is calculated and compared with previous estimations. The rotation of the stellar content and possible consequence of dark matter presence are discussed. The different stellar populations are identified through a CMD diagram of the 2MASS data. Isopleth contour maps are produced in every case, to reveal the spatial distribution. The derived density profiles are discussed. The older stellar population follows an exponential profile at projected diameters of about 5 kpc (~5 deg) for the major axis and ~4 kpc for the minor axis, centred at RA: 0h:51min, Dec: -73deg 7' (J2000.0). The centre coordinates are found the same for all the different age population maps and are in good accordance with the kinematical centre of the SMC. However they are found considerably different from the coordinates of the centre of the gas distribution. The fact that the older population found on an exponential disk, gives evidence that the stellar content is rotating, with a possible consequence of dark matter presence. The strong interactions between the MCs and the MilkyWay might explain the difference in the distributions of the stellar and gas components. The lack in the observed velocity element, that implies absence of rotation, and contradicts with the consequences of exponential profile of the stellar component, may also be a result of the gravitational interactions.

description: The Sun shrinks during solar maximum and regrows during solar minimum by a few kilometers. Here, we observe, for the first time, that the solar radius variation shows planetary relationship. This suggests that some remote planetary links must exist, even though this is unexpected within known physics. Therefore, we speculate about its cause, which is the driving idea behind this investigation. Namely, it must be some generic as yet invisible streaming matter from the dark Universe. The associated energy change is massive although it extends from months to several years. The impact by the tentative invisible massive matter accumulates with time, triggering slowly the underlying processes. This study shows that the sun size response is as short as a few months. Then, the solar system is the target and the antenna of still unidentified external impact, assuming to be from the dark sector.

description: Effects of periodic curvature on the the electrical resistivity of corrugated semiconductor films are theoretically considered. The presence of a curvature-induced potential affects the motion of electrons confined to the thin curved film, resulting in a significant resistivity enhancement at specific values of two geometric parameters: the amplitude and period of the surface corrugation. The maximal values of the two parameters in order to observe the corrugation-induced resistivity enhancement in actual experiments are quantified by employing existing material constants.

description: Let $Γ$ be a cofinite Fuchsian group acting on hyperbolic two-space $\HH.$ Let $M=Γ\setminus \HH $ be the corresponding quotient space. For $γ,$ a closed geodesic of $M$, let $l(γ)$ denote its length. The prime geodesic counting function $π_{M}(u)$ is defined as the number of $Γ$-inconjugate, primitive, closed geodesics $γ$ such that $e^{l(γ)} \leq u.$ The \emph{prime geodesic theorem} implies: $$π_{M}(u)=\sum_{0 \leq λ_{M,j} \leq 1/4} \text{li}(u^{s_{M,j}}) + O_{M}(\frac{u^{3/4}}{\log{u}}), $$ where $0=λ_{M,0} < λ_{M,1} 1.$}$$ We call the (absolute) constant $C_{M}$ the Huber constant. The objective of this paper is to give an effectively computable upper bound of $C_{M}$ for an arbitrary cofinite Fuchsian group. As a corollary we estimate the Huber constant for $\PSL(2,\ZZ),$ we obtain $C_{M} \leq 16,607,349,020,658 \approx \exp(30.44086643)$.

description: The 'First Stars' programme revealed the metal-poor halo star CS 31082-001 to be r-process and actinide rich, including the first measurement of a uranium abundance for an old star. To better characterise and understand such rare objects, we present the first abundance estimates of three elements (Be, V, Cu) for CS 31082-001 from analysis of its near-ultraviolet spectrum. Beryllium is rarely measured in giant stars, and we confirm that its abundance in this star is low due to the rather cool effective temperature that causes destruction of both Be and Li in its atmosphere. Vanadium and copper are iron-peak elements that are starting to be used as chemical-tagging indicators to investigate the origin of stellar populations. We find V and Cu abundances for CS 31082-001 that are comparable to other metal-poor stars, and present new chemical evolution models to investigate our results. In the case of V, extra nucleosynthesis due to interaction of neutrinos with matter is included in the models to be able to reproduce the measured abundance. Given the availability of high-quality spectroscopy of CS 31082-001, we also explore other atomic lines in the near-ultraviolet as a template for future studies of metal-poor stars with the planned CUBES instrument in development for the Very Large Telescope.

description: With the growing need for large scale data analysis, distributed machine learning has grown importance in recent years. The raw data is described by large number of interrelated variables and an important task is to describe the joint probability distribution over these variables, allowing simultaneously interferences and predications to be made. Directly modeling of joint probability distribution of all these variables may be infeasible, since the complexity of such model grown exponential with the number of variables. We focus on Bayesian Networks, the father of graphical models and present a different communication-efficient approach using the well-known method of Functional Geometric Monitoring, for continuously learning and maintenance of Bayesian Networks in a distributed streaming environment. Finally, the experimental results confirmed the functionality of proposed method.

Inorganic metal halide perovskite nanofibers for electronic textiles
Creators: name: Wu, Siying
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Yarns, the building blocks of textile-based wearable electronics, present integration challenges with electronic components, due to their curved linear nature and the inherent brittleness of various conductive/semiconductive materials. Addressing these challenges, this study focuses on structuring electronic components into nanofibers, aligning with the flexible and soft nature of yarns. In this work, to develop smart yarns responsive to mechanical and optical stimuli, flexible composite nanofibers, integrating inorganic metal halide perovskites (MHPs) with polymer nanofibers, were studied. These optimized nanofibers can serve as functional components in yarns, enabling piezoelectric responses and photo-sensing capabilities for mechano-electrical and opto-electrical conversions, respectively. Piezoelectric nanogenerator (PENG) yarns, composed of in-situ synthesized CsPbI₂Br in polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) nanofibers, achieved an open-circuit voltage of 8.4 V and a short-circuit current of 1.9 μA. After 3 months in an ambient environment without encapsulations, the PENG yarn can generate consistent voltage output in response to 192,000 cycles of mechanical compression. Moreover, these PENG yarns exhibit deformability for various textile integrations, showcasing their potential for on-body energy harvesting and motion sensing. Photo-sensing yarns, assembled with annealing-free electrospun CsPbI₂Br-polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) nanofibers, generated a photovoltage of 180 mV and a current density of 17 mA/cm² in response to 532 nm pulsed laser with an excellent ambient stability of 16 days. To further improve the overall performance and reduce the toxicity, up to 27 % of lead ions were replaced with silver ions. Photo-sensing yarns with silver-substituted CsPbI₂Br-PVAc nanofibers achieved an enhanced photovoltage of 504 mV, current density of 84 mA/cm², and better ambient stability of 60 days, due to improved crystalline structures. In summary, this study presents inorganic MHP-polymer nanofibers and their applications for smart yarns responsive towards mechanical and optical stimuli. This work charts a course for further explorations into the electrospinning of MHPs and their integration into textiles.

description: Let X,Y,B be three independent random variables such that $X$ has the same distribution function as Y B. Assume that B is a Beta random variable with positive parameters a,b and Y has distribution function H. Pakes and Navarro (2007) show under some mild conditions that the distribution function H_{a,b} of X determines H. Based on that result we derive in this paper a recursive formula for calculation of H, if H_{a,b} is known. Furthermore, we investigate the relation between the tail asymptotic behaviour of X and Y. We present three applications of our asymptotic results concerning the extremes of two random samples with underlying distribution functions H and H_{a,b}, respectively, and the conditional limiting distribution of bivariate elliptical distributions.

description: The present experiment was conducted on genetic architecture of seed yield and its components in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) to estimate general and specific combining ability effects of 14 characters in 36 hybrids of sesame obtained by crossing nine lines and four testers in line × tester mating design was performed at Instructional Farm, Dept. of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during late kharif -2023. The magnitude of GCA and SCA variances revealed that the SCA variances were higher than their respective GCA variances for all the characters. The ratio of σ2GCA/σ2SCA was less than unity for all the characters, suggesting a preponderance of non-additive gene action to control these traits. Among the parents, Zira 1 and IC 43236 were found good general combiners for seed yield per plant. The cross combinations viz., JR 22 × AT 467 and Zira 1 × G. Til-4 were found to be good specific cross combinations for seed yield per plant which were in a combination of average × good and good × poor combiners, respectively. These crosses also depicted high sca effects for important seed attributes. Therefore, if it is commercially feasible, these two crosses could be exploited for a heterosis breeding programme to boost the seed yield in late kharif of sesame.

description: Efficient production of nuclear isomers is critical for pioneering applications, like nuclear clocks, nuclear batteries, clean nuclear energy, and nuclear γ-ray lasers. However, due to small production cross sections and quick decays, it is extremely difficult to acquire a significant amount of isomers with short lifetimes via traditional accelerators or reactors because of low beam intensity. Here, for the first time, we experimentally present femtosecond pumping of nuclear isomeric states by the Coulomb excitation of ions with the quivering electrons induced by laser fields. Nuclei populated on the third excited state of 83Kr are generated with a peak efficiency of 2.34*10^15 particles=s from a tabletop hundred-TW laser system. It can be explained by the Coulomb excitation of ions with the quivering electrons during the interaction between laser pulses and clusters at nearly solid densities. This efficient and universal production method can be widely used for pumping isotopes with excited state lifetimes down to picoseconds, and could be a benefit for fields like nuclear transition mechanisms and nuclear γ-ray lasers.

description: A new family of exact solutions of the Einstein field equations for static and axially simmetric spacetimes is presented. All the metric functions of the solutions are explicitly computed and the obtained expressions are simply written in terms of oblate spheroidal coordinates. The solutions describe an infinite family of static axially symmetric thin annular dust disks. The disk are of infinite extension but with an inner annular edge. The energy densities of the disks are everywhere positive functions of the radial coordinate, equals to zero at the inner edge of the disk, having a maximun at a finite value of the radius and then vanishing at infinity. The disks have finite mass and their energy-momentum tensor agrees with all the energy conditions.

Closest convex function approximation with minimal pieces for univariate piecewise linear-quadratic functions
Creators: name: Kundu, Namrata
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: In this thesis, we aim to find the closest convex piecewise linear-quadratic (PLQ) function with minimal pieces to a given univariate piecewise linear-quadratic function. We consider several optimization problems to compute the closest convex PLQ function to a given univariate PLQ function where the distance between them is measured with the Euclidean norm. First, we assume that the breakpoints of the output function are fixed, obtaining a convex optimization problem. Next, we introduce adaptability by enabling the algorithm to determine optimal breakpoint placement. That is, we assume that the breakpoints in the output function are variable and form a superset of those in the input function, and we utilize a global optimization algorithm. Finally, we develop an algorithm rooted in greedy search preprocessing and dichotomic search strategy utilizing an optimization model, to approximate a given univariate PLQ function with another PLQ function containing minimal number of pieces while adhering to a specified error tolerance. We also explore multiple applications of these algorithms and dive deep into its implications in the domain of road design.
Fine structure in the tunneling spectra of electron-doped cuprates: No coupling to magnetic resonance mode

description: We analyze high-resolution scanning tunneling spectra of the electron-doped cuprate Pr0.88LaCe0.12CuO4 (T_c = 24 K). We find that the spectral fine structure below 35 meV is consistent with strong coupling to a bosonic mode at 16 meV, in quantitative agreement with early tunneling spectra of Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4. Since the energy of the bosonic mode is significantly higher than that (9.5-11 meV) of the magnetic resonance-like mode observed by inelastic neutron scattering, the coupling feature at 16 meV cannot arise from strong coupling to the magnetic mode. The present work thus demonstrates that the magnetic resonance-like mode cannot be the origin of high-temperature superconductivity in electron-doped cuprates.

MapiFi: Using Wi-Fi Signals to Map Home Devices

description: Imagine a map of your home with all of your connected devices (computers, TVs, voice control devices, printers, security cameras, etc.), in their location. You could then easily group devices into user-profiles, monitor Wi-Fi quality and activity in different areas of your home, and even locate a lost tablet in your home. MapiFi is a method to generate that map of the devices in a home. The first part of MapiFi involves the user (either a technician or the resident) walking around the home with a mobile device that listens to Wi-Fi radio channels. The mobile device detects Wi-Fi packets that come from all of the home's devices that connect to the gateway and measures their signal strengths (ignoring the content of the packets). The second part is an algorithm that uses all the signal-strength measurements to estimate the locations of all the devices in the home. Then, MapiFi visualizes the home's space as a coordinate system with devices marked as points in this space. A patent has been filed based on this technology. This paper was published in SCTE Technical Journal (see published paper at https://wagtail-prod-storage.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/SCTE_Technical_Journal_V1N3.pdf).
