description: We investigate chameleonic Brans--Dicke model applied to the FRW universes. A framework to study stability and attractor solutions in the phase space is developed for the model. We show that depending on the matter field and stability conditions, it is possible to realize phantom-like behavior without introducing phantom filed in the model while the stability is fulfilled and phantom crossing occurs. The statefinder parameters to the model for different kinds of matter interacting with the chameleon scalar field are studied. We also compare our model with present day observations.

description: There is a growing number of peculiar events that cannot be assigned to any of the main supernova (SN) classes. SN 1987A and a handful of similar objects, thought to be explosive outcomes of blue supergiant stars, belong to them: while their spectra closely resemble those of H-rich (IIP) SNe, their light-curve (LC) evolution is very different. Here we present the detailed photometric and spectroscopic analysis of SN 2021aatd, a peculiar Type II explosion: while its early-time evolution resembles that of the slowly evolving, double-peaked SN 2020faa (however, at a lower luminosity scale), after $\sim$40 days, its LC shape becomes similar to that of SN 1987A-like explosions. Beyond comparing LCs, color curves, and spectra of SN 2021aatd to that of SNe 2020faa, 1987A, and of other objects, we compare the observed spectra with our own SYN++ models and with the outputs of published radiative transfer models. We also modeled the pseudo-bolometric LCs of SNe 2021aatd and 1987A assuming a two-component (core+shell) ejecta, and involving the rotational energy of a newborn magnetar in addition to radioactive decay. We find that both the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of SN 2021aatd can be well described with the explosion of a $\sim$15 $M_\odot$ blue supergiant star. Nevertheless, SN 2021aatd shows higher temperatures and weaker Na ID and Ba II 6142 A lines than SN 1987A, which is reminiscent of rather to IIP-like atmospheres. With the applied two-component ejecta model (counting with both decay and magnetar energy), we can successfully describe the bolometric LC of SN 2021aatd, including the first $\sim$40-day long phase showing an excess compared to 87A-like SNe but being strikingly similar to that of the long-lived SN 2020faa. Nevertheless, finding a unified model that also explains the LCs of more luminous events (like SN 2020faa) is still a matter of concern.

Hardware implementation of a multicarrier faster-than-Nyquist decoder
Creators: name: Saeidi, Mehdi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Efficient utilization of time and frequency resources in communication networks is crucial to meet the demands of the fast growing global internet traffic. The concept of packing data more densely in time and frequency via so-called Fasterthan- Nyquist (FTN) transmission, originally proposed in the 1970’s, has therefore regained popularity. This faster, more bandwidth-efficient transmission of data results in interference between symbols adjacent in time and frequency, which must be mitigated in the receiver. Hence, computational complexity of FTN receivers is generally higher than for non-FTN receivers and constitutes a bottleneck for practical adoption. Although there have been significant advances in algorithm design for reducing the computational complexity of state-of-the-art FTN decoders, research on efficient hardware acceleration has only been sporadic. In particular, hardware implementations of different components that constitute the FTN decoder have been investigated in isolation. As a result, the only hardware FTN decoder proposed to date utilizes the hardware resources extremely inefficiently (its hardware utilization is on the order of 54.1%). In this thesis, we offer algorithmic and architectural insights for efficient implementation of complete FTN decoder systems. We identify convergence properties and parallelism opportunities unique to how the computational blocks operate and communicate with each other when combined in an FTN decoder, and describe how to leverage the insights for speed and area-efficiency. Our proof-of-concept field-programmable gate-array (FPGA) implementation reduces memory and logic footprints to within 26% and 4% of an idealized FTN hardware decoder, and achieves a throughput of 1.46 Gbps.
On the chaotic character of the stochastic heat equation, before the onset of intermitttency

description: We consider a nonlinear stochastic heat equation $\partial_tu=\frac{1}{2}\partial_{xx}u+σ(u)\partial_{xt}W$, where $\partial_{xt}W$ denotes space-time white noise and $σ:\mathbf {R}\to \mathbf {R}$ is Lipschitz continuous. We establish that, at every fixed time $t>0$, the global behavior of the solution depends in a critical manner on the structure of the initial function $u_0$: under suitable conditions on $u_0$ and $σ$, $\sup_{x\in \mathbf {R}}u_t(x)$ is a.s. finite when $u_0$ has compact support, whereas with probability one, $\limsup_{|x|\to\infty}u_t(x)/({\log}|x|)^{1/6}>0$ when $u_0$ is bounded uniformly away from zero. This sensitivity to the initial data of the stochastic heat equation is a way to state that the solution to the stochastic heat equation is chaotic at fixed times, well before the onset of intermittency.

description: We investigate the mechanisms involved in the funneling of the optical energy into sub-wavelength grooves etched on a metallic surface. The key phenomenon is unveiled thanks to the decomposition of the electromagnetic field into its propagative and evanescent parts. We unambiguously show that the funneling is not due to plasmonic waves flowing toward the grooves, but rather to the magneto-electric interference of the incident wave with the evanescent field, this field being mainly due to the resonant wave escaping from the groove.

description: The Tanaka equation $dX_t={\operatorname{sign}}(X_t)\,dB_t$ is an example of a stochastic differential equation (SDE) without strong solution. Hence pathwise uniqueness does not hold for this equation. In this note we prove that if we modify the right-hand side of the equation, roughly speaking, with a strong enough additive noise, independent of the Brownian motion B, then the solution of the obtained equation is pathwise unique.

description: To determine whether Xpert bladder cancer monitor, a noninvasive PCR-based biomarker test, can predict the need for 2nd transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) better than clinical assessment. Patients scheduled for TURB were prospectively screened. After initial TURB, patients were assigned to 2nd TURB or follow-up cystoscopy at 3 months (FU) by clinicians’ discretion. Central urine cytology and Xpert monitor tests were performed prior to the 1st TURB and 2nd TURB or FU, respectively. Statistical analysis to compare clinical assessment and Xpert monitor comprised sensitivity (SENS), specificity (SPEC), NPV and PPV. Of 756 screened patients, 171 were included (114 with 2nd TURB, 57 with FU). Residual tumors were detected in 34 patients who underwent 2nd TURB, and recurrent tumors were detected in 2 patients with FU. SENS and SPEC of Xpert monitor were 83.3% and 53.0%, respectively, PPV was 32.6% and NPV was 92.1%. Clinical risk assessment outperformed Xpert monitor. In patients with pTa disease at initial TURB, Xpert monitor revealed a NPV of 96%. Xpert monitor was not superior than clinical assessment in predicting the need for 2nd TURB. It might be an option to omit 2nd TURB for selected patients with pTa disease.

investigated as photoelectrodes in photoelectrochemical cells. The mass transport
limitations of redox couple is studied in these liquid junction solar cells, and a device
architecture proposed and successfully demonstrated to improve device performance.
This work was recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of

Experimental Analysis of Dynamic Interactions between Micrometer-Scale Stainless Steel Spheres
Creators: name: Hotan, Gladia Chork
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2013
Subjects: Physics

description: The quasi-static interactions between macroscopic, spherical particles are well described by the Hertzian
contact law. However, little is known about the interaction law at the micrometer scale, where the
effects of electrostatic and hydrodynamic forces at the contact are no longer negligible. Contact
dynamics at the micrometer scale have been relatively unexplored due to experimental challenges, since
the particles are too small in size to be excited by actuators but too massive to be manipulated by
electromagnetic fields. In this work, we experimentally study the dynamic interactions between two
micrometer-scale spheres colliding in a v-shaped groove. From our experiments we determine physical
parameters of interest that inform us about the force laws that apply before, during and after the
collision. These parameters include the coefficient of air resistance, the coefficient of friction between
the spheres and the groove, the coefficient of friction between two spheres in contact, and the
coefficient of restitution.
X-ray Ionization and the Influence of Magnetic Fields on the Growth of Gas Giant Planets
Creators: name: Kim, Stacy Yeonchi
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2013
Subjects: Physics

description: The past two decades have witnessed an explosion in the number of known planets outside our Solar System. The exoplanets' number and diversity are surprising, with many planetary systems quite unlike our own. Naturally, the question of their origins arise. Yet our knowledge of how
planetary systems form and evolve are far from complete, and even for our own Solar System, many fundamental questions remain. One puzzle concerns the formation of gas giants with masses intermediate between Jupiter (MJ = 320M⊕, where M⊕ = 6 x 1027 g equals the mass of the Earth) and Neptune (MN = 17M⊕ ), which our Solar System provides a prime laboratory for study: Saturn (MS = 95M⊕)· According the popular core accretion scenario, gas giants form through the growth of an ice and rock core that, upon becoming sufficiently massive, accretes a gaseous envelope from the surrounding protoplanetary disk. If the mass of the envelope reaches the mass of the core,
runaway gas accretion commences, with terminal masses typically a Jupiter mass or more. The combined mass of the envelope and core at the critical point when runaway accretion begins is about a Neptune mass. Saturn, being a factor of a few times more massive than Neptune, achieved
this critical mass, yet appears not to have undergone runaway accretion to an extent similar to
Jupiter, posing a problem for the core accretion hypothesis.

In this thesis, we investigate one possible explanation for Saturn's low mass: magnetic fields.
If the gas surrounding a protoplanet is sufficiently ionized, it can be well coupled to the ambient
magnetic field; as magnetized gas accretes onto the protoplanet, magnetic pressure and tension forces
would grow, prematurely halting the flow of gas. To investigate this possibility, a preexisting Monte
Carlo transport code was extended to calculate x-ray transfer. The code was applied to calculate
ionization rates for a proto-Saturn still embedded in the protosolar disk. The results were inputted
into a simplified chemical reaction network, which takes into account recombination and charge
transfer and returns the ionization fraction of the disk. Magnetic diffusivities in proto-Saturn's
vicinity can then be calculated, allowing us to infer whether the magnetic field was coupled well
enough to the gas surrounding proto-Saturn to affect gas dynamics.

We find that for a disk depleted in small grains and possessing magnetic fields of about 0.1 G,
magnetic fields were likely well-coupled to the gas near proto-Saturn and may have influenced its
gas accretion rate.
Experimental Apparatus for Measuring Ultralow Thermal Conductivity Structures
Creators: name: Liu, Shiyi
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2013
Subjects: Physics

description: Ultralow thermal conductivity materials play an important role in many
applications such as space exploration and thermal insulation. One of the primary
challenges in studying heat conduction in these materials is performing basic
thermal conductivity measurements, because even a small amount of steady heating
results in enormous temperature increases. While methods do exist to measure the
thermal conductivities of macroscopic materials, these techniques are difficult to
apply to the microscopic samples that are the only samples available for some
materials.

In this thesis, we describe an optical, non-contact experimental system for
measuring ultralow thermal conductivities. The system we designed and built is a
modified pump-and-probe system. With this system, we will be able to measure a
sample as small as tens of microns without having physical contact between the
tester and the sample. Different from a traditional pump-and-probe method, we
used a pump laser with a very low repetition rate of a few hundred Hz, which can
efficiently reduce the steady heating, and at the same time the transient heating is
still enough to give a measurement result.

In the following chapters, we will first discuss the background of this thesis,
including a brief introduction to the manufacture of the nano-lattice and the
principles of the pump-and-probe method. Then we will go through some
calculations done during the design process of the apparatus. Finally, we will
present the test results from the experiments and compare them against the
simulation.
Measurement, Simulation, and Design of the Dispersion-Engineered Traveling-Wave Kinetic Inductance Amplifier

description: Recently, Eom et al. [1 J proposed a new concept for a low-noise cryogenic amplifier known
as a Dispersion-Engineered Traveling-Wave Kinetic Inductance (DTWKI) amplifier. This
device exploits the nonlinear kinetic inductance of superconducting thin-film nitrides to
achieve high gain-bandwidth, near quantum-limited noise, and excellent dynamic range. In
this thesis, we describe recent progress toward an experimental realization of the DTWKI; in
particular, we focus on improvements in the areas of gain-bandwidth and noise performance.
We describe a numerical model of the amplifier, and use this model to interpret experimental
results and provide insight into the effects of dispersion-engineering on gain processes.
Lastly, based on experimental results and model output, we propose some improvements to
the DTWKI device.

description: We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) 1.3 mm continuum and CO(2-1) line emission observations toward the high-mass star formation region DR21. Five new continuum sources are found. We identify eighteen outflow streamers detected in CO emission radially arising from a common origin. The velocity spread of the outflow streamers range between $-$100 to $+$70 km s$^{-1}$. The radial velocities of each outflow roughly follow linear gradients (Hubble-Lemaitre-like expansion motions). Using the CO emission of the whole ensemble of streamers we estimate a total outflow mass of 120-210M$_{\odot}$. Additionally, we derived the dynamical age (8600 yr), momentum ($\sim10^{3}$ M$_{\odot}$ km s$^{-1}$), and kinetic energy ($\sim10^{48}$ erg) of the outflow. The morphology and kinematics presented by the CO outflow streamers confirm the presence of an explosive dispersal outflow at the heart of DR21. Five dispersal explosive outflows associated with massive star-forming regions have been confirmed in our Galaxy (Orion BN/KL, G5.89-0.39, S106-IR, IRAS16076-5134 and IRAS 12326-6245). However, their frequency of occurrence in the Galaxy and the originating nature are still uncertain.

Using a general procedure due to Cuntz we construct a bivariant K-theory on the category of separable σ-C^*-algebras that generalizes both twisted K-theory and K-homology of (locally) compact spaces. We construct a bivariant Chern--Connes type character taking values in bivariant local cyclic homology. We analyse the structure of the dual Chern--Connes character from (analytic) K-homology to local cyclic cohomology under some reasonable hypotheses. We also investigate the twisted periodic cyclic homology via locally convex algebras and the local cyclic homology via C^*-algebras (in the compact case).

It is intended to present the basic definitions essential for studies in nuclear astrophysics, to point out the differences between nuclear reactions taking place in stars and in a terrestrial laboratory, and to illustrate some of the challenges to be faced in theoretical and experimental studies of those reactions. The discussion revolves around the relevant quantities for astrophysics, which are the astrophysical reaction rates. The sensitivity of the reaction rates to the uncertainties in the prediction of various nuclear properties is explored and some guidelines for experimentalists are also provided.

description: Feedback from stars and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) primarily affects the formation and evolution of galaxies and the circumgalactic medium, leaving some kind of imprint on larger scales. Based on the {\sc Simba} hydrodynamical simulation suite and using the full set of Minkowski functionals (MFs), this study systematically analyses the time evolution of the global geometry and topology of the gas temperature, pressure, density (total, HI, and H$_2$), and the metallicity fields between redshifts $z=5$ and $z=0$. The MFs show that small-scale astrophysical processes are persistent and manifest on larger, up to tens of Mpc scales, highlighting the specific morphological signatures of the relevant feedback mechanisms on these scales in the last $\sim12$~Gyr. In qualitative terms, we were able establish a ranking that varies according to the field considered: stellar feedback mostly determines the morphology of the pressure and density fields and AGN jets are the primary origin of the morphology of the temperature and metallicity fields, while X-ray heating and AGN winds play the second most important role in shaping the geometry and topology of all the gaseous fields, except metallicity. Hence, the cosmic evolution of the geometry and topology of fields characterising the thermodynamical and chemical properties of the cosmic web offers complementary, larger scale constraints to galaxy formation models.

description: A new method has been developed to adjust volume automatically on all audio devices equipped with at least one microphone, including mobile phones, personal media players, headsets, and car radios, that might be used in noisy environments, such as crowds, cars, and outdoors. The method uses a patented set of algorithms, implemented on the chips in such devices, to preserve constant intelligibility of speech in noisy environments, rather than constant signal-to-noise ratio. The algorithms analyze the noise background in real time and compensate only for fluctuating noise in the frequency domain and the time domain that interferes with intelligibility of speech. Advantages of this method of controlling volume include: Controlling volume without sacrificing clarity; adjusting only for persistent speech-interference noise; smoothing volume fluctuations; and eliminating static-like bursts caused by noise spikes. Practical human-factors approaches to implementing these algorithms in mobile phones are discussed.

description: Let X be a locally compact Polish space and let m be a reference Radon measure on X. Let $Γ_X$ denote the configuration space over X, that is, the space of all locally finite subsets of X. A point process on X is a probability measure on $Γ_X$. A point process $μ$ is called determinantal if its correlation functions have the form $k^{(n)}(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=\det[K(x_i,x_j)]_{i,j=1,\ldots,n}$. The function K(x,y) is called the correlation kernel of the determinantal point process $μ$. Assume that the space X is split into two parts: $X=X_1\sqcup X_2$. A kernel K(x,y) is called J-Hermitian if it is Hermitian on $X_1\times X_1$ and $X_2\times X_2$, and $K(x,y)=-\overline{K(y,x)}$ for $x\in X_1$ and $y\in X_2$. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition of existence of a determinantal point process with a J-Hermitian correlation kernel K(x,y).

Regularity of laws and ergodicity of hypoelliptic SDEs driven by rough paths

description: We consider differential equations driven by rough paths and study the regularity of the laws and their long time behavior. In particular, we focus on the case when the driving noise is a rough path valued fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H\in(\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{2}]$. Our contribution in this work is twofold. First, when the driving vector fields satisfy Hörmander's celebrated "Lie bracket condition," we derive explicit quantitative bounds on the inverse of the Malliavin matrix. En route to this, we provide a novel "deterministic" version of Norris's lemma for differential equations driven by rough paths. This result, with the added assumption that the linearized equation has moments, will then yield that the transition laws have a smooth density with respect to Lebesgue measure. Our second main result states that under Hörmander's condition, the solutions to rough differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion with $H\in(\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{2}]$ enjoy a suitable version of the strong Feller property. Under a standard controllability condition, this implies that they admit a unique stationary solution that is physical in the sense that it does not "look into the future."

description: We derive explicit tail-estimates for the Jacobian of the solution flow for stochastic differential equations driven by Gaussian rough paths. In particular, we deduce that the Jacobian has finite moments of all order for a wide class of Gaussian process including fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H>1/4. We remark on the relevance of such estimates to a number of significant open problems.

description: Given an $S^1$-manifold with isolated fixed points, some recent papers are concerned with the relationship between the least number of fixed points and the characteristic numbers of this manifold, and their proofs have some similar features. The main purpose of this short survey article is, by using the language of equivariant cohomology, to present a unified method to deal with such problems, of which the related known results are direct corollaries.

description: We consider an interest rate model with log-normally distributed rates in the terminal measure in discrete time. Such models are used in financial practice as parametric versions of the Markov functional model, or as approximations to the log-normal Libor market model. We show that the model has two distinct regimes, at high and low volatilities, with different qualitative behavior. The two regimes are separated by a sharp transition, which is similar to a phase transition in condensed matter physics. We study the behavior of the model in the large volatility phase, and discuss the implications of the phase transition for the pricing of interest rate derivatives. In the large volatility phase, certain expectation values and convexity adjustments have an explosive behavior. For sufficiently low volatilities the caplet smile is log-normal to a very good approximation, while in the large volatility phase the model develops a non-trivial caplet skew. The phenomenon discussed here imposes thus an upper limit on the volatilities for which the model behaves as intended.

How Does He Do It?: A Phenomenological Study of Men's Experience as Teaching-Family Model Providers
Creators: name: Parkinson, Dallin Douglas
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Abstract:
About half a million children live in out-of-home care, generally due to state intervention (Children’s Bureau, 2016). The outcomes of youth in treatment are improved when they have stable relationships with caregiving adults. Group homes based on the Teaching-Family Model utilize a married couple who live in the home and are the primary care treatment providers. The present study employed a phenomenological approach to explore the lived experience of eight men who have worked in this role for at least a year. Intrapersonal and interpersonal processes and motivations were identified as common themes among respondents for how and why they continued in a difficult job and lifestyle. Implications for Teaching-Family Model group homes and foster care agencies are discussed, as well as possible directions for further research.
