description: In addition to a smooth component of WIMP dark matter in galaxies, there may be streams of material; the effects of WIMP streams on direct detection experiments is examined in this paper. The contribution to the count rate due to the stream cuts off at some characteristic energy. Near this cutoff energy, the stream contribution to the annual modulation of recoils in the detector is comparable to that of the thermalized halo, even if the stream represents only a small portion (~5% or less) of the local halo density. Consequently the total modulation may be quite different than would be expected for the standard halo model alone: it may not be cosine-like and can peak at a different date than expected. The effects of speed, direction, density, and velocity dispersion of a stream on the modulation are examined. We describe how the observation of a modulation can be used to determine these stream parameters. Alternatively, the presence of a dropoff in the recoil spectrum can be used to determine the WIMP mass if the stream speed is known. The annual modulation of the cutoff energy together with the annual modulation of the overall signal provide a "smoking gun" for WIMP detection.

Studies on the mycotoxin zearalenone -- Barley zearalenone contamination survey and In Vitro effects of zearalenone on oocytes and pre-implatation embryos
Creators: name: Wallace, Christa Jeanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The mycotoxin zearalenone is known for its harmful effects on livestock reproduction. Animal exposure occurs through feed sources colonized by Fusarium species which produce the mycotoxin. Since regular screening procedures for zearalenone are not conducted on Western Canadian barley, a survey was carried out to test for possible significant levels of contamination. All samples were found to be negative at a detection level of 500 ppb; therefore, feeds formulated from the barley samples sources would not likely cause zearalenone toxicosis problems in livestock. Also, an ELISA method, Agri-Screen™, developed by Neogen Corporation (Lansing, Michigan) was tested and found to be a simple and economical method for pre-screening of feed samples in the field. To study direct toxicological effects of zearalenone on in vitro murine blastocyst development, murine embryos were cultured in medium (Ham's F-10 + estrous cow serum) containing various levels of the mycotoxin. The critical concentration range for zearalenone to cause detrimental effects on blastocyst development was determined to be between 70-160 μg/ml medium. Additionally, a concentration effect on the length of time required to exert deleterious actions was demonstrated. At mycotoxin concentrations of 500 μg/ml medium and above, blastocysts degenerated after 6 h of culture. At a lower concentration level of 160 μg/ml, blastocysts were not affected until 28 h of culture. In order to investigate the direct toxicological effects of zearalenone on in vitro porcine pre-implantation embryo development, attempts were made to develop a successful culture system. Since a suitable system was not developed, toxicological studies were not possible. Possibly, steps in the recovery process could have resulted in detrimental effects before the embryos were placed in culture. Alternatively, the media chosen (Ham's F-10 + estrous cow serum; Minimum essential medium + fetal calf serum) may not be suitable for in vitro culture of porcine pre-implantation embryos. Finally, at a zearalenone concentration level (250 μg/ml medium) found to cause degeneration of murine blastocysts, the in vitro maturation of bovine oocytes in Tissue Culture Medium 199 was not affected. It was suggested that the surrounding cumulus layer acts as a barrier to prevent the mycotoxin from directly acting on the oocyte.

description: Bulk melt-processed Y-Ba-Cu-O (YBCO) has significant potential for a variety of high field permanent magnet-like applications, such as the rotor of a brushless motor. When used in rotating devices of this kind, however, the YBCO can be subjected to both transient and alternating magnetic fields that are not parallel to the direction of magnetization and which have a detrimental effect on the trapped field. These effects may lead to a long-term decay of the magnetization of the bulk sample. In the present work, we analyze both experimentally and numerically the remagnetization process of a melt-processed YBCO single domain that has been partially demagnetized by a magnetic field applied orthogonal to the initial direction of trapped flux. Magnetic torque measurements are used as a tool to probe changes in the remanent magnetization during various sequences of applied field. The application of a small magnetic field between the transverse cycles parallel to the direction of original magnetization results in partial remagnetization of the sample. Rotating the applied field, however, is found to be much more efficient at remagnetizing the bulk material than applying a magnetizing field pulse of the same amplitude. The principal features of the experimental data can be reproduced qualitatively using a two-dimensional finite-element numerical model based on an E-J power law. Finally, the remagnetization process is shown to result from the complex modification of current distribution within the cross-section of the bulk sample.

Emergence of the $ρ$ resonance from the HAL QCD potential in lattice QCD

description: We investigate the $I=1$ $ππ$ interaction using the HAL QCD method in lattice QCD. We employ the (2+1)-flavor gauge configurations on $32^3 \times 64$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a \approx 0.0907$ fm and $m_π \approx 411$ MeV, in which the $ρ$ meson appears as a resonance state. We find that all-to-all propagators necessary in this calculation can be obtained with reasonable precision by a combination of three techniques, the one-end trick, the sequential propagator, and the covariant approximation averaging (CAA). The non-local $I=1$ $ππ$ potential is determined at the next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^2$LO) of the derivative expansion for the first time, and the resonance parameters of the $ρ$ meson are extracted. The obtained $ρ$ meson mass is found to be consistent with the value in the literature, while the value of the coupling $g_{ρππ}$ turns out to be somewhat larger. The latter observation is most likely attributed to the lack of low-energy information in our lattice setup with the center-of-mass frame. Such a limitation may appear in other P-wave resonant systems and we discuss possible improvement in future. With this caution in mind, we positively conclude that we can reasonably extract the N$^2$LO potential and resonance parameters even in the system requiring the all-to-all propagators in the HAL QCD method, which opens up new possibilities for the study of resonances in lattice QCD.

The decay rate in the case that nucleation site locates at a black hole center has been calculated in the literature. We develop a method for calculating the decay rate of the false vacuum for a generic nucleation site. We find that the decay rate becomes larger when the nucleation site is close to the black hole horizon and coincides with that in Minkowski spacetime when the nucleation site goes to infinity.

On the basis of fixed values of base constants, those FPCs have been chosen that can exhibit variations of greatest interest from the viewpoints of physics and metrology. An analysis of the current data concerning these constants is performed, and estimates of their variations on large time scales are presented. We point out the significance of studying long-term FPC variations for both practical and fundamental metrology.

description: This essay is based on a talk at Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Sciences 2020 (AAMOS20) in a symposium honoring Prof. S. T. Manson's decades-long contribution to photoabsorption studies. Quantum physics introduced into physics pairs of conjugate quantities bearing a specific complementary relationship, energy and time being one such pair. This gives rise to two alternative representations, a time-dependent and a time-independent one, seemingly very different but both capable of embracing the same physics. They give complementary descriptions and insight, with technical questions, theoretical and experimental, determining which may be the more convenient and practicable at any juncture. Two recent topics, Cooper minima in photoabsorption in Cl$^-$ and Ar, and angular-momentum barrier tunneling of $f$ photoelectrons from Se in WSe$_2$, provide illustrative examples, also of the role that technological developments over the past five decades played in our approach to and understanding of phenomena.

From nuclear clusters to halo globulars: Star clusters as basic galactic building blocks

description: I assess the similarities and differences between the star-formation modes in quiescent spiral galaxies versus those in violent starburst regions, including galactic nuclei. As opposed to the quiescent star-formation mode, current empirical evidence on the star-formation processes in the extreme, high-pressure environments induced by galaxy encounters strongly suggests that star cluster formation is an important and perhaps even the dominant mode of star formation in such starburst events. This implies that by using star clusters as unique diagnostic probes, we can trace a galaxy's most violent star formation history very well, at least for the past few Gyr. The sizes, luminosities, and mass estimates of the young massive star clusters are entirely consistent with what is expected for young Milky Way-type globular clusters (GCs). Recent evidence lends support to the scenario that GCs, which were once thought to be the oldest building blocks of galaxies, are still forming today.

description: Biometric systems are the latest technologies of unique identification. People all over the world prefer to use this unique identification technology for their authentication security. The goal of this research is to evaluate the biometric systems based on system reliability and user satisfaction. As technology fully depends on personal data, so in terms of the quality and reliability of biometric systems, user satisfaction is a principal factor. To walk with the digital era, it is extremely important to assess users' concerns about data security as the systems are conducted the authentication by analyzing users' personal data. The study shows that users are satisfied by using biometric systems rather than other security systems. Besides, hardware failure is a big issue faced by biometric systems users. Finally, a matrix is generated to compare the performance of popular biometric systems from the users' opinions. As system reliability and user satisfaction are the focused issue of this research, biometric service providers can use these phenomena to find what aspect of improvement they need for their services. Also, this study can be a great visualizer for Bangladeshi users, so that they can easily realize which biometric system they have to choose.

description: We report the first measurements of the dynamics of liquid germanium (l-Ge) by quasi-elastic neutron scattering on time-of-flight and triple-axis spectrometers. These results are compared with simulation data of the structure and dynamics of l-Ge which have been obtained with ab initio density functional theory methods. The simulations accurately reproduce previous results from elastic and inelastic scattering experiments, as well as the q-dependence of the width of the quasi-elastic signal of the new experimental data. In order to understand some special features of the structure of the liquid we have also simulated amorphous Ge. Overall we find that the atomistic model represents accurately the average structure of real l-Ge as well as the time dependent structural fluctuations. The new quasi-elastic neutron scattering data allows us to investigate to what extent simple theoretical models can be used to describe diffusion in l-Ge.

description: We consider the problem of equilibration of a single oscillator system with dynamics given by the generalized Langevin equation. It is well-known that this dynamics can be obtained if one considers a model where the single oscillator is coupled to an infinite bath of harmonic oscillators which are initially in equilibrium. Using this equivalence we first determine the conditions necessary for equilibration for the case when the system potential is harmonic. We then give an example with a particular bath where we show that, even for parameter values where the harmonic case always equilibrates, with any finite amount of nonlinearity the system does not equilibrate for arbitrary initial conditions. We understand this as a consequence of the formation of nonlinear localized excitations similar to the discrete breather modes in nonlinear lattices.

description: After propagating through a random amplifying medium, a squeezed state commonly shows excess noise above the shot-noise level. Since large noise can significantly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio, it is detrimental for precision measurement. To circumvent this problem, we propose a noise-reduction scheme using wavefront shaping. It is demonstrated that the average output quantum noise can be effectively suppressed even beyond the shot-noise limit. Both the decrease on amplification strength and the increase on input squeezing strength can give rise to a decrease in the suppressed average quantum noise. Our results not only show the feasibility of manipulating the output quantum noise of random amplifying media, but also indicate potential applications in quantum information processing in complex environments, such as, quantum imaging, quantum communication, and quantum key distribution.

description: Visual-Semantic Embedding (VSE) is a prevalent approach in image-text retrieval by learning a joint embedding space between the image and language modalities where semantic similarities would be preserved. The triplet loss with hard-negative mining has become the de-facto objective for most VSE methods. Inspired by recent progress in deep metric learning (DML) in the image domain which gives rise to new loss functions that outperform triplet loss, in this paper, we revisit the problem of finding better objectives for VSE in image-text matching. Despite some attempts in designing losses based on gradient movement, most DML losses are defined empirically in the embedding space. Instead of directly applying these loss functions which may lead to sub-optimal gradient updates in model parameters, in this paper we present a novel Gradient-based Objective AnaLysis framework, or \textit{GOAL}, to systematically analyze the combinations and reweighting of the gradients in existing DML functions. With the help of this analysis framework, we further propose a new family of objectives in the gradient space exploring different gradient combinations. In the event that the gradients are not integrable to a valid loss function, we implement our proposed objectives such that they would directly operate in the gradient space instead of on the losses in the embedding space. Comprehensive experiments have demonstrated that our novel objectives have consistently improved performance over baselines across different visual/text features and model frameworks. We also showed the generalizability of the GOAL framework by extending it to other models using triplet family losses including vision-language model with heavy cross-modal interactions and have achieved state-of-the-art results on the image-text retrieval tasks on COCO and Flick30K.

description: It has been shown by Voiculescu and Biane that the analytic subordination property holds for free additive and multiplicative convolutions. In this paper, we present an operatorial approach to subordination for free multiplicative convolutions. This study is based on the concepts of `freeness with subordination', or `s-free independence', and `orthogonal independence', introduced recently in the context of free additive convolutions. In particular, we introduce and study the associated multiplicative convolutions and construct related operators, called `subordination operators' and `subordination branches'. Using orthogonal independence, we derive decompositions of subordination branches and related decompositions of s-free and free multiplicative convolutions. The operatorial methods lead to several new types of graph products, called `loop products', associated with different notions of independence (monotone, boolean, orthogonal, s-free). We also prove that the enumeration of rooted `alternating double return walks' on the loop products of graphs and on the free product of graphs gives the moments of the corresponding multiplicative convolutions.

Energies and radial distributions of B_s mesons - the effect of hypercubic blocking

description: This is a follow-up to our earlier work for the energies and the charge (vector) and matter (scalar) distributions for S-wave states in a heavy-light meson, where the heavy quark is static and the light quark has a mass about that of the strange quark. We study the radial distributions of higher angular momentum states, namely P- and D-wave states, using a "fuzzy" static quark. A new improvement is the use of hypercubic blocking in the time direction, which effectively constrains the heavy quark to move within a 2a hypercube (a is the lattice spacing). The calculation is carried out with dynamical fermions on a 16^3 times 32 lattice with a lattice spacing approximately 0.10 fm generated using the non-perturbatively improved clover action. The configurations were generated by the UKQCD Collaboration using lattice action parameters beta = 5.2, c_SW = 2.0171 and kappa = 0.1350. In nature the closest equivalent of this heavy-light system is the B_s meson. Attempts are now being made to understand these results in terms of the Dirac equation.

Year: 2010

description: Heritabilties and genetic correlations using Individual Animal Model, (IAM), analysis for weight, length and survivability were determined in both freshwater and saltwater rearing of s0 and si1 coho, (Oncorhynchus kisutch). The most important trait to salmon farmers is the saltwater market weight which was found to have heritability estimates of 0.21 and 0.45 for the s1 and s0 smolts. Estimates of heritability for survival were high, (0.29 and 0.21) for both s0 and s1 rearing strategies. Genetic correlations between freshwater and saltwater size were small, (0.33 to 0.59) indicating selection for market weight should be done during the saltwater market weight window. Significant differences were found for weight and length between strains during freshwater and saltwater rearing for both s0 and si1 coho. The northern strains, (Kitimat, Bella Coola and Pallant Creek) were significantly larger in weight and length thanthe southern strains, (Big Qualicum and Robertson Creek). The Kitimat strain was larger in weight and length than the Bella Coola and Pallant Creek strains but lower than these two strains for percent survivability. When comparing fish from the Kitimat strain reared on both a s0 and s1 rearing strategy, it was found that the s1 fish were significantly larger than the s0 fish at the market weight window.

description: We investigated the radio spectra of two magnetars, PSR J1622$-$4950 and 1E 1547.0$-$5408, using observations from the Australia Telescope Compact Array and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array taken in 2017. Our observations of PSR J1622$-$4950 show a steep spectrum with a spectral index of $-$1.3 $\pm$ 0.2 in the range of 5.5-45 GHz during its re-activating X-ray outburst in 2017. By comparing the data taken at different epochs, we found significant enhancement in the radio flux density. The spectrum of 1E 1547.0$-$5408 was inverted in the range of 43-95 GHz, suggesting a spectral peak at a few hundred gigahertz. Moreover, we obtained the X-ray and radio data of radio magnetars, PSR J1622$-$4950 and SGR J1745$-$2900, from literature and found two interesting properties. First, radio emission is known to be associated with X-ray outburst but has different evolution. We further found that the rising time of the radio emission is much longer than that of the X-ray during the outburst. Second, the radio magnetars may have double peak spectra at a few GHz and a few hundred GHz. This could indicate that the emission mechanism is different in the cm and the sub-mm bands. These two phenomenons could provide a hint to understand the origin of radio emission and its connection with the X-ray properties.

description: By shaking a sand box the grains on the top start to jump giving the picture of evaporating a sand bulk, and a gaseous transition starts at the surface granular matter (GM) bed. Moreover the mixture of the grains in the whole bed starts to move in a cooperative way which is far away from a Brownian description. In a previous work we have shown that the key element to describe the statistics of this behavior is the exclusion of volume principle, whereby the system obeys a Fermi configurational approach. Even though the experiment involves an archetypal non-equilibrium system, we succeeded in defining a global temperature, as the quantity associated to the Lagrange parameter in a maximum entropic statistical description. In fact in order to close our approach we had to generalize the equipartition theorem for dissipative systems. Therefore we postulated, found and measured a fundamental dissipative parameter, written in terms of pumping and gravitational energies, linking the configurational entropy to the collective response for the expansion of the centre of mass (c.m.) of the granular bed. Here we present a kinetic approach to describe the experimental velocity distribution function (VDF) of this non-Maxwellian gas of macroscopic Fermi-like particles (mFp). The evaporation transition occurs mainly by jumping balls governed by the excluded volume principle. Surprisingly in the whole range of low temperatures that we measured this description reveals a lattice-gas, leading to a packing factor, which is independent of the external parameters. In addition we measure the mean free path, as a function of the driving frequency, and corroborate our prediction from the present kinetic theory.

description: The semiclassical geometry of charged black holes is studied in the context of a two-dimensional dilaton gravity model where effects due to pair-creation of charged particles can be included in a systematic way. The classical mass-inflation instability of the Cauchy horizon is amplified and we find that gravitational collapse of charged matter results in a spacelike singularity that precludes any extension of the spacetime geometry. At the classical level, a static solution describing an eternal black hole has timelike singularities and multiple asymptotic regions. The corresponding semiclassical solution, on the other hand, has a spacelike singularity and a Penrose diagram like that of an electrically neutral black hole. Extremal black holes are destabilized by pair-creation of charged particles. There is a maximally charged solution for a given black hole mass but the corresponding geometry is not extremal. Our numerical data exhibits critical behavior at the threshold for black hole formation.

Crack growth by surface diffusion in viscoelastic media

description: We discuss steady state crack growth in the spirit of a free boundary problem. It turns out that mode I and mode III situations are very different from each other: In particular, mode III exhibits a pronounced transition towards unstable crack growth at higher driving forces, and the behavior close to the Griffith point is determined entirely through crack surface dissipation, whereas in mode I the fracture energy is renormalized due to a remaining finite viscous dissipation. Intermediate mixed-mode scenarios allow steady state crack growth with higher velocities, leading to the conjecture that mode I cracks can be unstable with respect to a rotation of the crack front line.

description: Motivated to generalize the Fourier frame concept to Banach spaces we introduce (p, q)-Bessel/frame measures for a given finite measure on LCA groups. We also present a general way of constructing (p, q)-Bessel/frame measures for a given measure. Moreover, we prove that if a measure has an associated (p, q)-frame measure, then it must have a certain uniformity in the sense that the weight is distributed quite uniformly on its support. Next, we show that if the measures $μ$ and $λ$ without atoms whose supports form a packing pair, then $μ\astλ+δ_g\astμ$ does not admit any (p, q)-frame measure. Finally, we analyze the stability of (p, q)-frame measures under small perturbations. We prove new theorems concerning the stability of (p, q)-frame measures under perturbation in both Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces.

Parkinson's disease : etiology, prevention and treatment
Creators: name: Tabatabaei, Ali Reza
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis consists of three chapters dealing with different aspects of Parkinson's disease (PD). 3-Acetylpyridine (3-AP), a naturally occurring neurotoxin, was studied for its neurodegenerative properties on the mesostriatal dopaminergic system in rats as a possible environmental cause of idiopathic PD. Chronic administration of this compound to rats caused a moderate but insignificant reduction of striatal dopamine (determined by HPLC measurement of striatal dopamine) and a more substantial degeneration of cerebellar neurons and their neurotransmitters (determined by amino acid analysis of cerebellum). Prophylactic use of a high dose of nicotinamide prevented the reduction of dopamine in the striatum as well as the severe behavioural manifestations induced by 3-AP in rats. The cerebellar damage, however, was not affected. Different mechanisms of damage by 3-AP in these structures were presumed based on the protective effects of nicotinamide in the substantia nigra but not in the cerebellum. Possible protective properties of MK-801 (a noncompetitive NMDA antagonist) and nicotinamide against MPTP neurotoxicity were also examined in mice. MK-801 treatment provided a substantial protection against MPTP-induced reduction of striatal dopamine. Nicotinamide on the other hand provided no such protection. Finally, a new controversial approach to the treatment of parkinsonism was evaluated. Nervous tissue from 13-15 day-old fetuses was transplanted into MPTP-treated mice. The transplanted material was harvested from different areas of the fetal brain and was prepared by various procedures to examine the possible bases of any improvement in the host animal. After two studies, we did not find a biochemical improvement in transplanted mice treated with MPTP regardless of the nature of the transplanted materials.

description: Pseudoscopic images that keep the continuous parallax are shown to be possible due to a double diffraction process intermediated by a slit. One diffraction grating acts as a wavelength encoder of views while a second diffraction grating decodes the projected image. The process results in the enlargement of the image under common white light illumination.

description: General physics of very high energy hadronic interactions is discussed. Special attention is payed to the contribution of semihard processes to the interaction dynamics and to the role of parton shadowing and parton density saturation. In particular, the implementation of non-linear interaction effects in the QGSJET-II model is discussed in detail. The predictions of the model are compared to selected accelerator data, including ones of the RHIC collider, and the relation to the calculated extensive air shower characteristics is discussed. Finally, the potential of accelerator and cosmic ray experiments for constraining model predictions is analyzed.

The non-perturbative part of the plaquette in quenched QCD

description: We define the non-perturbative part of a quantity as the difference between its numerical value and the perturbative series truncated by dropping the order of minimal contribution and the higher orders. For the anharmonic oscillator, the double-well potential and the single plaquette gauge theory, the non-perturbative part can be parametrized as A (lambda)^B exp{-C/lambda} and the coefficients can be calculated analytically. For lattice QCD in the quenched approximation, the perturbative series for the average plaquette is dominated at low order by a singularity in the complex coupling plane and the asymptotic behavior can only be reached by using extrapolations of the existing series. We discuss two extrapolations that provide a consistent description of the series up to order 20-25. These extrapolations favor the idea that the non-perturbative part scales like (a/r_0)^4 with a/r_0 defined with the force method. We discuss the large uncertainties associated with this statement. We propose a parametrization of ln((a/r_0)) as the two-loop universal terms plus a constant and exponential corrections. These corrections are consistent with a_{1-loop}^2 and play an important role when beta<6. We briefly discuss the possibility of calculating them semi-classically at large beta.

description: This project focuses on Phase One, a lesbian bar open from 1971 to 2016, which, before it closed, became the longest continuously operating lesbian bar in the United States. This project seeks to answer the question: Why did the “The Phase” stay open for 45 years while other lesbian bars, clubs, and bookstores open in the city during the same time period fail? This ethnographic-centered project looks at intangible and tangible cultural heritage, theories of space and violence, and previously defined LGBTQ history in order to provide a framework in which to tell the history of Phase One and to understand its success. D.C.’S LAST DYKE BAR aims to document previously untold lesbian hxstory in the city, using oral histories and archival research to create a historic and graphic narrative of these spaces in order to preserve both the cultural and architectural heritage of lesbian space in Washington D.C..
