description: We provide a detailed discussion of out-of-equilibrium phase transitions in the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model in the framework of Lynden-Bell's statistical theory of the Vlasov equation. For two-levels initial conditions, the caloric curve $β(E)$ only depends on the initial value $f_0$ of the distribution function. We evidence different regions in the parameter space where the nature of phase transitions between magnetized and non-magnetized states changes: (i) for $f_0>0.10965$, the system displays a second order phase transition; (ii) for $0.109497

description: There is a growing interest in knit as a material system for architectural researchin a workflow that integrates computation and digital fabrication in the designand specification of highly engineered fabrics. However, the dimensionallimitations of industrial machines mean that large scale work may requireassembly from multiple pieces. Reconfiguring knitted fabric by joining fabricpanels disrupts the performance of the material, challenging the computationalmodel when fabric characteristics are transformed at the seams.The aim of thisresearch is to evaluate the potential for grafting, a traditional joining method forknitted fabric, as an assembly technique for architectural scale knittedprototypes. The paper presents an overview of knitted loop geometry focusing onthe impact of loop construction in textile joins. The paper presents experimentalresearch conducted using unconventional off-machine techniques at two scales,demonstrating how grafting can be used to assemble 3D structures withoutcompromising the integrity of the material. Findings highlight the significance ofthis technique and suggest how the work could translate to digital fabrication.

description: The precision of typical thermometers consisting of $N$ particles is shot noise limited, improving as $\sim1/\sqrt{N}$. For high precision thermometry and thermometric standards this presents an important theoretical noise floor. Here it is demonstrated that thermometry may be mapped onto the problem of phase estimation, and using techniques from optimal phase estimation, it follows that the scaling of the precision of a thermometer may in principle be improved to $\sim1/N$, representing a Heisenberg limit to thermometry.

description: This paper demonstrates the value of hand knit process in architectural prototyping. Knit is a highlyspecifiable, additive manufacturing process. Knit architectures rely on knit fabric properties togenerate form which requires prototyping to assess material behaviour; this is developed inconjunction with computational design approaches. Hand knit can be a successful alternative inprototyping, combining simplicity of production with additional craft knowledge gained through theexperience of manipulating materials directly. Four parameters were investigated at two scales ofmaterials, resulting in a lexicon of knitted forms. The outcomes demonstrated self-supporting 3-Dforms utilising the inherent curvature of knitted fabrics and integral shaping techniques. Theimportance of hand process in the investigation was key, allowing simultaneous evaluation ofmaterials and production methods but more importantly extending the cognitive dimension of designdevelopment by restoring the intimate relationship between maker and materials experiencedthrough craft process.

description: We present five new pulsating subdwarf B (sdB) stars discovered by the Kepler spacecraft during the asteroseismology survey phase. We perform time-series analysis on the nearly continuous month-long Kepler datasets of these 5 objects; these datasets provide nearly alias-free time-series photometry at unprecedented precision. Following an iterative prewhitening process we derive the pulsational frequency spectra of these stars, separating out artefacts of known instrumental origin. We find that these new pulsating sdB stars are multiperiodic long-period pulsators of the V1093 Her type, with the number of periodicities ranging from 8 (KIC8302197) to 53 (KIC11558725). The frequencies and amplitudes are typical of g-mode pulsators of this type. We do not find any evidence for binarity in the five stars from their observed pulsation frequencies. As these are g-mode pulsators, we briefly looked for period spacings for mode identification, and found average spacings about 260s and 145s. This may indicate l=1 and 2 patterns. Some modes may show evidence of rotational splitting. These discoveries complete the list of compact pulsators found in the survey phase. Of the 13 compact pulsators, only one star was identified as a short-period (p-mode) V361Hya pulsator, while all other new pulsators turned out to be V1093 Her class objects. Among the latter objects, two of them seemed to be pure V1093 Her while the others show additional low amplitude peaks in the p-mode frequency range, suggesting their hybrid nature. Authenticity of these peaks will be tested with longer runs currently under analysis.

Ontogeny of cytokine respones following cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptor stimulation
Creators: name: Bedi, Harjot Kaur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The innate immune system of newborns is biased towards the production of cytokines that are largely anti-inflammatory or promote development of Th2- and Th17-type of immunity, i.e., an immune response focused against pathogens in the extracellular milieu, and in particular, mucous membranes. This leads to an increased susceptibility to infections by intracellular pathogens, whose clearance depends primarily on effective cell-mediated Th1-type immunity. These insights were gleaned from the analysis of cytokines produced in neonatal and infant blood in response to Toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulation. However, TLRs are only one of the classes of a broader repertoire of molecules called pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). To our knowledge, PRRs that are specialized for the detection of intracellular pathogens – namely, cytoplasmic PRRs – have not been systematically and comprehensively analyzed in the context of the newborn immunity. Delineating the response of cytoplasmic PRRs in the newborn to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) typical of intracellular pathogens represents a vital first step towards identifying strategies aimed to ameliorate the newborn’s greater susceptibility to intracellular pathogens. We, therefore, stimulated adult and cord blood with PAMPs typical of cytoplasmic pathogens and followed cytokine production both globally (secreted into the culture supernatant) as well as on the cellular level (intracellular cytokine cytometry (ICC)). We were surprised to find that neonatal blood secreted significantly more IFNα, IP-10, IL-8 and MCP-1 compared to adult blood, especially following stimulation of the PRR Stimulator of Interferon genes (STING). However, we were unable to detect any response to these PAMPs using ICC; this likely stems from the requirement of positive cytokine feedback mechanism necessary for production of type 1 interferons that was inhibited in our ICC set-up. Our data, taken together with the emergence of STING as a key PRR in the detection of intracellular pathogens, e.g. Listeria and several viruses, led us to hypothesize that altered response to STING may be functionally related to the known exquisite sensitivity of newborns to infection with such pathogens. Additional studies aimed at identifying the biological role of activation of cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptors will be conducted to understand the age-related differential immune response to intracellular infections.
Outburst of Comet 17P/Holmes Observed With The Solar Mass Ejection Imager

description: We present time-resolved photometric observations of Jupiter family comet 17P/Holmes during its dramatic outburst of 2007. The observations, from the orbiting Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI), provide the most complete measure of the whole-coma brightness, free from the effects of instrumental saturation and with a time-resolution well-matched to the rapid brightening of the comet. The lightcurve is divided into two distinct parts. A rapid rise between the first SMEI observation on UT 2007 October 24 06h 37m (mid-integration) and UT 2007 October 25, is followed by a slow decline until the last SMEI observation on UT 2008 April 6 22h 16m (mid-integration). We find that the rate of change of the brightness is reasonably well-described by a Gaussian function having a central time of UT 2007 October 24.54+/-0.01 and a full-width-at-half-maximum 0.44+/-0.02 days. The maximum rate of brightening occurs some 1.2 days after the onset of activity. At the peak the scattering cross-section grows at 1070+/-40 km^2/s while the (model-dependent) mass loss rates inferred from the lightcurve reach a maximum at 3+/-10^5 kg/s. The integrated mass in the coma lies in the range (2 to 90)x10^10 kg, corresponding to 0.2% to 10% of the nucleus mass, while the kinetic energy of the ejecta is (0.6 to 30) MTonnes TNT. The particulate coma mass could be contained within a shell on the nucleus of thickness ~1.5 to 60 m. This is comparable to the distance traveled by conducted heat in the century since the previous outburst of 17P/Holmes. This coincidence is consistent with, but does not prove, the idea that the outburst was triggered by the action of conducted heat, possibly through the crystallization of buried amorphous ice.

Escape into nature : the ideology of Pacific Spirit Regional Park
Creators: name: La Salle, Marina J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation investigates the ideology of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, an urban forest adjacent to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Using the tools of archaeology and anthropology, I analyse the history, landscape, performance, and discourse of the park to understand Pacific Spirit as a culturally-constructed place that embodies an ideology of imperialism. Central in this dynamic is the carefully crafted illusion of Pacific Spirit as a site of “nature,” placed in opposition to “culture,” which naturalizes the values that created and are communicated through the park and thereby neutralizes their politics. They remain, however, very political. The park as nature erases the history and heritage of the Indigenous peoples of this region, transforming Pacific Spirit into a new terra nullius—a site to be discovered and explored, militaristic themes that consistently underlie park programs and propaganda. These cultural tropes connect to produce a nationalistic settler narrative wherein class ideals of nature and community are evoked in the celebration of Canada’s history of colonialism and capitalist expansion—paradoxically, the very processes that have caused the fragmentation of communities and ecosystems. The park as nature also feeds into the portrayal of this space as having been saved from development and, as such, an environmental triumph. In this context, the park is viewed as escape from the psychological trauma and alienation of city living and is celebrated and revered as a sacred place. This portrayal enables the forgetting of injustice and promotes a collective amnesia through the creation of a fairy-tale version of reality. The result is to disperse emotion and energy that otherwise could be mobilized against capitalism to prevent ongoing global ecological devastation. The ideology of the Pacific Spirit as nature therefore constitutes social violence by rewriting both the past and present of this land and its peoples, thereby hindering recognition of and rebellion against power. Pacific Spirit is thus a hegemonic space that reproduces colonial relationships and naturalizes capitalism. Exposing the park as a cultural place and illuminating the ideology that it perpetuates may be a crucial first step towards disrupting power through the creation of counter-narratives.

description: In the SU(3) symmetry limit, the ratio $R\equiv\frac{{\cal B}(D^+\to f_0l^+ν)+ {\cal B}(D^+\to σl^+ν)}{{\cal B}(D^+\to a_0^0l^+ν)}$ is equal to 1 if the scalar mesons are $\bar qq$ states, while it is 3 if these mesons are tentraquark states. This ratio provides a model-independent way to distinguish the descriptions for light scalar mesons . It also applies to the $B^-\to Sl^-\barν$ and $\bar B^0\to J/ψ(η_c) S$ decays. The SU(3) symmetry breaking effect is found to be under control, which will not spoil our method. The branching fractions of the $D^+\to S l^+ν$, $B^-\to S l^-\barν$ and $\bar B^0\to J/ψ(η_c) S$ decays roughly have the order $10^{-4}$, $10^{-5}$ and $10^{-6}$, respectively. The B factory experiments and ongoing BEPC-II experiments are able to measure these channels and accordingly to provide the detailed information of the scalar meson inner structure.

description: We study the thermal and mechanical behavior of DNA denaturation in the frame of the mesoscopic Peyrard- Bishop-Dauxois model with the inclusion of solvent interaction. By analyzing the melting transition of a homogeneous A-T sequence, we are able to set suitable values of the parameters of the model and study the formation and stability of bubbles in the system. Then, we focus on the case of the P5 promoter sequence and use the Principal Component Analysis of the trajectories to extract the main information on the dynamical behavior of the system. We find that this analysis method gives an excellent agreement with previous biological results.

description: We study magnetic relaxation dynamics, memory and aging effects in interacting polydisperse antiferromagnetic NiO nanoparticles by solving a master equation using a two-state model. We investigate the effects of interactions using dipolar, Nearest-Neighbour Short-Range (NNSR) and Long-Range Mean-Field (LRMF) interactions. The magnetic relaxation of the nanoparticles in a time-dependent magnetic field has been studied using LRMF interaction. The size-dependent effects are suppressed in the ac-susceptibility, as the frequency is increased. We find that the memory dip, that quantifies the memory effect is about the same as that of non-interacting nanoparticles for the NNSR case. There is a stronger memory-dip for LRMF, and a weaker memory-dip for the dipolar interactions. We have also shown a memory effect in the Zero-field-cooled magnetization for the dipolar case, a signature of glassy behaviour, from Monte-Carlo studies.

description: We demonstrate a photon-counting technique for detecting Bragg excitation of an ultracold gas of atoms. By measuring the response of the light field to the atoms, we derive a signal independent of traditional time-of-flight atom-imaging techniques. With heterodyne detection we achieve photon shot-noise limited detection of the amplification or depletion of one of the Bragg laser beams. Photon counting for Bragg spectroscopy will be useful for strongly interacting gases where atom-imaging detection fails. In addition, this technique provides the ability to resolve the evolution of excitations as a function of pulse duration.

description: Profiling or evaluation of health care providers involves the application of statistical models to compare each provider’s performance with respect to a patient outcome, such as unplanned 30-day hospital readmission, adjusted for patient case-mix characteristics. The nationally adopted method is based on random effects (RE) hierarchical logistic regression models. Although RE models are sensible for modeling hierarchical data, novel high dimensional fixed effects (FE) models have been proposed which may be well-suited for the objective of identifying sub-standard performance. However, there are limited comparative studies. Thus, we examine their relative performance, including the impact of inadequate case-mix adjustment.

description: Decentralised workflow management systems are a new research area, where most work to-date has focused on the system's overall architecture. As little attention has been given to the security aspects in such systems, we follow a security driven approach, and consider, from the perspective of available security building blocks, how security can be implemented and what new opportunities are presented when empowering the decentralised environment with modern distributed security protocols. Our research is motivated by a more general question of how to combine the positive enablers that email exchange enjoys, with the general benefits of workflow systems, and more specifically with the benefits that can be introduced in a decentralised environment. This aims to equip email users with a set of tools to manage the semantics of a message exchange, contents, participants and their roles in the exchange in an environment that provides inherent assurances of security and privacy. This work is based on a survey of contemporary distributed security protocols, and considers how these protocols could be used in implementing a distributed workflow management system with decentralised control . We review a set of these protocols, focusing on the required message sequences in reviewing the protocols, and discuss how these security protocols provide the foundations for implementing core control-flow, data, and resource patterns in a distributed workflow environment.

description: We give a breezy, qualitative overview of some of our recent results on studying jet stopping in strongly-coupled plasmas using gauge-gravity duality. Previously, people have found that the maximum stopping distance in such plasmas scales with energy as E^{1/3}. We show that there is an important distinction between typical and maximum stopping distances. For the strongly-coupled excitations that we study, we find that the typical stopping distance scales with energy as E^{1/4}.

description: Cloud droplet concentration (Nd), effective radius (reff) and liquid water content (LWC) measured by a DMT CAPS and an SEA WCM‐2000 of wintertime low‐altitude clouds over the Southern Ocean (SO) are presented for 20 flights taken over 3 years (June–October, 2013–2015). Such clouds have been reported to have the lowest Nd on record (10–40 cm−3) from the Southern Ocean Cloud Experiment (SOCEX I) field campaign in 1993. Of the total 20 357 one‐second records spent in cloud, 38.5% were found to contain ice crystals, primarily in mixed‐phase clouds (36.7%). Ice was observed at some point during 19 of the 20 missions. The droplet spectra and temperature range suggest these clouds were often ideal for the Hallett–Mossop ice multiplication process.
The average Nd and reff for liquid clouds were 28 (±30) cm−3 and 12.5 (±2.9) µm, which are consistent with those from SOCEX I. Forty‐nine percent of all liquid cloud samples were observed to be drizzling with an average drizzle rate of 0.733 mm h−1. As drizzle samples were commonly in the neighbourhood of mixed‐phase or non‐drizzling clouds, it was rare to observe solid patches of drizzle of greater than 10 s. On average, drizzling clouds had lower Nd and greater reff and LWC than those of non‐drizzling clouds. Distinct observations of non‐drizzling clouds with relatively high Nd (∼89 cm−3), small reff (∼8.5 µm) and low LWC (∼0.173 g kg−1) were noted for two flights. An initial examination of the local environment and synoptic meteorology for these flights failed to identify any particular forcing that may have led to these unique microphysical properties, although these were the only observations of closed mesoscale cellular convection. This research highlights that greater variability exists in the microphysics of wintertime clouds over the SO, when a wider range of synoptic meteorology is investigated.
X-ray emission from the double-binary OB-star system QZ Car (HD 93206)

description: X-ray observations of the double-binary OB-star system QZ Car (HD 93206) obtained with the Chandra X-ray Observatory over a period of roughly 2 years are presented. The orbit of systems A (O9.7 I+b2 v, PA = 21 d) and B (O8 III+o9 v, PB = 6 d) are reasonably well sampled by the observations, allowing the origin of the X-ray emission to be examined in detail. The X-ray spectra can be well fitted by an attenuated three temperature thermal plasma model, characterised by cool, moderate, and hot plasma components at kT ~ 0.2, 0.7, and 2 keV, respectively, and a circumstellar absorption of ~ 0.2 x 10^22 cm-2. Although the hot plasma component could be indicating the presence of wind-wind collision shocks in the system, the model fluxes calculated from spectral fits, with an average value of ~ 7 x 10^-13 erg s-1 cm-2, do not show a clear correlation with the orbits of the two constituent binaries. A semi-analytical model of QZ Car reveals that a stable momentum balance may not be established in either system A or B. Yet, despite this, system B is expected to produce an observed X-ray flux well in excess of the observations. If one considers the wind of the O8 III star to be disrupted by mass transfer the model and observations are in far better agreement, which lends support to the previous suggestion of mass-transfer in the O8 III + o9 v binary. We conclude that the X-ray emission from QZ Car can be reasonably well accounted for by a combination of contributions mainly from the single stars and the mutual wind-wind collision between systems A and B.

Separating Agent-Functioning and Inter-Agent Coordination by Activated Modules: The DECOMAS Architecture

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Multiagent Systems (cs.MA)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The embedding of self-organizing inter-agent processes in distributed software applications enables the decentralized coordination system elements, solely based on concerted, localized interactions. The separation and encapsulation of the activities that are conceptually related to the coordination, is a crucial concern for systematic development practices in order to prepare the reuse and systematic integration of coordination processes in software systems. Here, we discuss a programming model that is based on the externalization of processes prescriptions and their embedding in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). One fundamental design concern for a corresponding execution middleware is the minimal-invasive augmentation of the activities that affect coordination. This design challenge is approached by the activation of agent modules. Modules are converted to software elements that reason about and modify their host agent. We discuss and formalize this extension within the context of a generic coordination architecture and exemplify the proposed programming model with the decentralized management of (web) service infrastructures.
La sclérose d'un malaise identitaire : étude comparée de la représentation de la folie dans Le livre d'Emma de Marie-Célie Agnant et dans L'hiver de pluie de Lise Tremblay
Creators: name: Marguerite, Aurélie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Influenced by the principles once denounced by Aurélien Boivin and Cécile Dubé, Marie-Célie Agnant and Lise Tremblay tell the story of two women faced by silence and a general misunderstanding. It is by exposing the story of Élise and Emma, who have been stigmatized with madness, that Tremblay and Agnant expose a dark side of the power of discourse: it can liberate or reinforce a sense of alienation or oppression. We are led to rethink its problematical force through the alienated wanderings of a character on a quest to overcome somehow a disappointing love affair (Élise) and the account of the tribulations of a young woman accused of infanticide (Emma). Agnant and Tremblay also exploit the theme of space (whether it be historical, physical or symbolic) by carrying us into both the maze of History and that of Quebec City. Among other states and situations, their characters are undeniably made prisoners of a physical space that conditions their discourses: a hospital for Emma and an old fortified city for Élise. The walls that are holding back Emma and Élise are nothing but the visual aspect of a more profound and tragic ailment that will only be exposed once the madwomen of Tremblay and Agnant, paradoxically, reclaim its power.
