description: In this paper, we provide a new characterization of uniformly recurrent words with finite defect based on a relation between the palindromic and factor complexity. Furthermore, we introduce a class of morphisms P_ret closed under composition and we show that a uniformly recurrent word with finite defect is an image of a rich (also called full) word under a morphism of class P_ret. This class is closely related to the well-known class P defined by Hof, Knill, and Simon; every morphism from P_ret is conjugate to a morphism of class P.

Formation of "Lightnings" in a Neutron Star Magnetosphere and the Nature of RRATs

description: The connection between the radio emission from "lightnings" produced by the absorption of high-energy photons from the cosmic gamma-ray background in a neutron star magnetosphere and radio bursts from rotating radio transients (RRATs) is investigated. The lightning length reaches 1000 km; the lightning radius is 100 m and is comparable to the polar cap radius. If a closed magnetosphere is filled with a dense plasma, then lightnings are efficiently formed only in the region of open magnetic field lines. For the radio emission from a separate lightning to be observed, the polar cap of the neutron star must be directed toward the observer and, at the same time, the lightning must be formed. The maximum burst rate is related to the time of the plasma outflow from the polar cap region. The typical interval between two consecutive bursts is ~100 s. The width of a single radio burst can be determined both by the width of the emission cone formed by the lightning emitting regions at some height above the neutron star surface and by a finite lightning lifetime. The width of the phase distribution for radio bursts from RRATs, along with the integrated pulse width, is determined by the width of the bundle of open magnetic field lines at the formation height of the radio emission. The results obtained are consistent with the currently available data and are indicative of a close connection between RRATs, intermittent pulsars, and extreme nullers.

Interface roughness, valley-orbit coupling and valley manipulation in quantum dots

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We present a systematic study of interface roughness and its effect on coherent dynamical processes in quantum dots. The potential due to a sharp, flat interface lifts the degeneracy of the lowest energy valleys and yields a set of valley eigenstates. Interface roughness is characterized by fluctuations in the location of the interface and in the magnitude of the potential step. Variations in the position of the interface, which are expected to occur on the length scale of the lattice constant, reduce the magnitude of the valley-orbit coupling. Variations in the size of the interface potential step alter the magnitude of the valley-orbit coupling and induce transitions between different valley eigenstates in dynamics involving two (or more) dots. Such transitions can be studied experimentally by manipulating the bias between two dots and can be detected by charge sensing. However, if the random variable characterizing the position of the interface is correlated over distances of the order of a quantum dot, which is unlikely but possible, the phase of the valley-orbit coupling may be different in adjacent dots. In this case tunneling between like and opposite valley eigenstates is in effect a random variable and cannot be controlled. We suggest a resonant tunneling experiment that can identify the matrix elements for tunneling between like and opposite valley eigenstates.

description: Symmetry breaking patterns of the U(n)_L x U(n)_R symmetric meson model are investigated in a formulation involving three auxiliary composite fields. The effective potential is constructed at leading order in the 1/n expansion for a condensate belonging to the center of the U(n) group. A wide region is found in the coupling space where in addition to the condensate proportional to the unit matrix, also metastable minima exist, in which a further breakdown of the diagonal U_V(n) symmetry to U_V(n-1) is realized. Application of a moderate external field conjugate to this component of the order parameter changes this state into the true ground state of the system.

Our approach relies on a Raman transfer between two stable atomic hyperfine states that is conditioned on the presence of an impurity atom. The amplification is based on the strong interaction among atoms excited to Rydberg states. We perform a detailed analytical study of the performance of the proposed scheme with particular emphasis on the influence of many-body effects.

Structural and economic evaluation of self-anchored discontinuous hybrid cable bridges
Creators: name: Sauer, Devin James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The self-anchored discontinuous hybrid cable bridge (SDHCB) is a novel type of bridge system which has the potential to overcome many of the deficiencies of conventional cable bridge structures while preserving their advantages. To date, research on the system is extremely limited. Accordingly, this thesis examines the structural and economic attributes of the system, as well its constructability. These areas of research are vital in evaluating the utility of the system and in advancing its development. The structural attributes of SDHCBs were studied in this thesis using a systematic approach. First, the behaviour of each of the two basic cable types found in hybrid cable bridges was studied under a wide range of parameters. Then, starting with a bare model of a SDHCB, a series of analyses was performed while progressively expanding the model so that the influence of various parameters and bridge components could be isolated, and accurately assessed. The model parameters were further refined through a cost analysis. Thereafter, upon reaching a complete and detailed model, the influence of various structural parameters was re-assessed, the structural benefits of employing various supplemental design components were appraised, and the constructability of the system was addressed. This work is significant in that it has provided a highly generalized and robust model of a SDHCB. Using this model, it is possible to ascertain how various design parameters such as geometric factors, material properties, and loading conditions affect the structural behaviour, cost, and constructability of the system. Many insights were also obtained from this research which led to the formation of a recommended, universal, design space for the system. In addition, the practicality and adaptability of the system were demonstrated through the development of several innovative construction schemes which aim to reduce construction duration and costs through the creation of multiple work fronts and the elimination of large temporary works.

Thermal noise engines

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Electrical heat engines driven by the Johnson-Nyquist noise of resistors are introduced. They utilize Coulomb's law and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem of statistical physics that is the reverse phenomenon of heat dissipation in a resistor. No steams, gases, liquids, photons, combustion, phase transition, or exhaust/pollution are present here. In these engines, instead of heat reservoirs, cylinders, pistons and valves, resistors, capacitors and switches are the building elements. For the best performance, a large number of parallel engines must be integrated to run in a synchronized fashion and the characteristic size of the elementary engine must be at the 10 nanometers scale. At room temperature, in the most idealistic case, a two-dimensional ensemble of engines of 25 nanometer characteristic size integrated on a 2.5x2.5 cm silicon wafer with 12 Celsius temperature difference between the warm-source and the cold-sink would produce a specific power of about 0.4 Watt. Regular and coherent (correlated-cylinder states) versions are shown and both of them can work in either four-stroke or two-stroke modes. The coherent engines have properties that correspond to coherent quantum heat engines without the presence of quantum coherence. In the idealistic case, all these engines have Carnot efficiency, which is the highest possible efficiency of any heat engine, without violating the second law of thermodynamics.

description: In a recent paper Belgiorno {\em et al} claimed to have observed the analog of the Hawking effect because of the detection of radiation in a frequency range in which what they called "phase horizons" existed. They created rapidly moving pulses of light in a silica glass whose Kerr effect altered the refractive index to create those horizons. Unfortunately, while the observations are very interesting, the cause of the radiation is not understood, and we feel it is not justified to call this a detection of the Hawking effect in an analog system.

description: We formulate quantum mechanics on SO(3) using a non-commutative dual space representation for the quantum states, inspired by recent work in quantum gravity. The new non-commutative variables have a clear connection to the corresponding classical variables, and our analysis confirms them as the natural phase space variables, both mathematically and physically. In particular, we derive the first order (Hamiltonian) path integral in terms of the non-commutative variables, as a formulation of the transition amplitudes alternative to that based on harmonic analysis. We find that the non-trivial phase space structure gives naturally rise to quantum corrections to the action for which we find a closed expression. We then study both the semi-classical approximation of the first order path integral and the example of a free particle on SO(3). On the basis of these results, we comment on the relevance of similar structures and methods for more complicated theories with group-based configuration spaces, such as Loop Quantum Gravity and Spin Foam models.

Foreignness, exit barriers, and the timeliness of business divestitures
Creators: name: Sethuram, Shyamala
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: In this dissertation, I focus on factors that enable or deter the timeliness of divestitures while comparing foreign and cross-border business exits. I integrate the liability of foreignness, footlooseness, and home bias perspectives of foreignness to consider differing implications for both the timing of the decision to divest and the timely completion of initiated divestiture deals. In Chapter 1, I introduce the motivation and intended contributions of the dissertation. In Chapter 2, I review the literature on foreign business exit, considering de-internationalization, reshoring, and foreign divestment (FD), and offer a framework on proactive and reactive FD. In Chapter 3, I consider the role of foreignness, and the moderating influence of business relatedness and organizational learning and experience in adding to or removing deterrents to the timely completion of initiated acquisition and divestiture deals. Specifically, I focus on sell-side deterrents to deal completion, such as foreignness of sellers’ home countries vis-à-vis their subsidiary targets’ host countries. In Chapter 4, I consider the roles of foreignness and business relatedness in adding to or mitigating deterrents in influencing firms’ awareness, motivation, and capability to be early movers in industry divestiture waves. In Chapter 5, I discuss overall implications and suggest avenues for future research.

description: We discuss the signature of a cosmic string wake in 21cm redshift surveys. Since 21cm surveys probe higher redshifts than optical large-scale structure surveys, the signatures of cosmic strings are more manifest in 21cm maps than they are in optical galaxy surveys. We find that, provided the tension of the cosmic string exceeds a critical value (which depends on both the redshift when the string wake is created and the redshift of observation), a cosmic string wake will generate an emission signal with a brightness temperature which approaches a limiting value which at a redshift of $z + 1 = 30$ is close to 400 mK in the limit of large string tension. The signal will have a specific signature in position space: the excess 21cm radiation will be confined to a wedge-shaped region whose tip corresponds to the position of the string, whose planar dimensions are set by the planar dimensions of the string wake, and whose thickness (in redshift direction) depends on the string tension. For wakes created at $z_i + 1 = 10^3$, then at a redshift of $z + 1 = 30$ the critical value of the string tension $μ$ is $G μ= 6 \times 10^{-7}$, and it decreases linearly with redshift (for wakes created at the time of equal matter and radiation, the critical value is a factor of two lower at the same redshift). For smaller tensions, cosmic strings lead to an observable absorption signal with the same wedge geometry.

Framework for assessing the potential of new technologies to capture the as-built information from project sites
Creators: name: Thontepu, Sri Kalyan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: As-built information from construction project sites is often required by project participants to address various user-specific needs such as assessing the construction quality or planning for upcoming renovations, or guiding future repairs during building operations. However, most of this information is still being captured through traditional methods like tape measure, or referring to 2D drawings which are found to be inefficient. Although many data acquisition tools such as 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry currently exist, they suffer from numerous limitations such as the lack of affordability or requiring expertise to operate. This has encouraged both researchers and technology vendors to look into new alternative capture technologies that are cost effective, easy to use, and efficient. This need for better alternatives led to the rapid development of various new capture technologies that are now needed to be evaluated for construction industry purposes. With such new technologies being released regularly, there is also an increased confusion among industry professionals to identify the best suitable capture technology for addressing their specific needs. Thus, the objective of this research is to develop a framework for evaluating the potential of new as-built information capture technologies to support construction purposes. The research also focuses on using the developed framework to evaluate the potential of two new capture technologies, mobile laser scanning and spherical imaging, that have recently been gaining traction in the construction industry. For this, a case study based research approach was developed and four construction projects were chosen as sample case studies for this work. Current industry practices for capturing the necessary as-built information to address different use case scenarios within these projects were first observed and analyzed. Then, the framework was developed by conducting an in-depth analysis of the current industry practices, reviewing relevant literature and by also having a series of informal discussions with various project team members involved in the chosen case study projects. The potential of mobile laser scanning and spherical imaging technologies was then assessed by testing them on the relevant use case scenarios. The benefits and limitations were identified based on a structured assessment using the developed framework.

description: We calculate the critical temperature and free energy of the gluon plasma using the dilaton potential arXiv:0911.0627[hep-ph] in the gravity theory of AdS/QCD. The finite temperature observables are calculated in two ways: first, from the Page-Hawking computation of the free energy, and secondly using the Bekenstein-Hawking proportionality of the entropy with the area of the horizon. Renormalization is well defined, because the T=0 theory has asymptotic freedom. We further investigate the change of the critical temperature with the number of flavours induced by the change of the running coupling constant in the quenched theory. The finite temperature behaviour of the speed of sound, spatial string tension and vacuum expectation value of the Polyakov loop follow from the corresponding string theory in AdS_5.

In particular, it may lead to excessive black hole formation. We here consider standard hybrid inflation, where the tachyonic mass of the waterfall field is much bigger than the Hubble parameter. We calculate $ζ_χ$ in the simplest case, and see why earlier calculations of $ζ_χ$ are incorrect.

description: Blockchain technology has revolutionized contractual processes, enhancing efficiency and trust through smart contracts. Ethereum, as a pioneer in this domain, offers a platform for decentralized applications but is challenged by the immutability of smart contracts, which makes upgrades cumbersome. Existing design patterns, while addressing upgradability, introduce complexity, increased development effort, and higher gas costs, thus limiting their effectiveness. In response, we introduce FlexiContracts, an innovative scheme that reimagines the evolution of smart contracts on Ethereum. By enabling secure, in-place upgrades without losing historical data, FlexiContracts surpasses existing approaches, introducing a previously unexplored path in smart contract evolution. Its streamlined design transcends the limitations of current design patterns by simplifying smart contract development, eliminating the need for extensive upfront planning, and significantly reducing the complexity of the design process. This advancement fosters an environment for continuous improvement and adaptation to new requirements, redefining the possibilities for dynamic, upgradable smart contracts.

description: We abstract the essential features of holographic dimer models, and develop several new applications of these models. First, semi-holographically coupling free band fermions to holographic dimers, we uncover novel phase transitions between conventional Fermi liquids and non-Fermi liquids, accompanied by a change in the structure of the Fermi surface. Second, we make dimer vibrations propagate through the whole crystal by way of double trace deformations, obtaining nontrivial band structure. In a simple toy model, the topology of the band structure experiences an interesting reorganization as we vary the strength of the double trace deformations. Finally, we develop tools that would allow one to build, in a bottom-up fashion, a holographic avatar of the Hubbard model.

description: We analyze the optical-near infrared spectra of 33 quasars with redshifts 3.90.8), and characterized by very steep intrinsic slopes (alpha4, both by performing a simultaneous fit of all quasars and by averaging the extinction curves inferred for individual quasars. In the case of broad absorption line quasars the mean extinction curve deviates from the SMC at a confidence level >95%. The difference between extinction curves in quasars at z>4 and in quasars at lower redshift is indicative of either a different dust production mechanism at high redshift, or a different mechanism for processing dust into the ISM. We suggest that the same transitions may also apply to normal, star-forming galaxies at z>4. In particular, the observed change in the average spectral slope of galaxies at z>4 may be partially ascribed to a variation in the extinction curve, rather than a lower dust content at high redshift. In this scenario, the extinction curve inferred at z>4 would imply a cosmic star-formation corrected for dust attenuation a factor of ~2 higher than estimated in the past.

description: We consider $(M,d)$ a connected and compact manifold and we denote by $\mathcal{B}_i$ the Bernoulli space $M^{\Z}$ of sequences represented by $$x=(... x_{-3},x_{-2},x_{-1},x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3,...),$$ where $x_i$ belongs to the space (alphabet) $M$. The case where $M=\mathbb{S}^1$, the unit circle, is of particular interest here. The analogous problem in the one-dimensional lattice $\mathbb{N}$ is also considered. %In this case we consider the potential $A: {\cal B}=M^\mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R}.$ Let $A: \mathcal{B}_i \rar \R$ be an {\it observable} or {\it potential} defined in the Bernoulli space $\mathcal{B}_i$. The potential $A$ describes an interaction between sites in the one-dimensional lattice $M^\mathbb{Z}$. Given a temperature $T$, we analyze the main properties of the Gibbs state $\hatμ_{\frac{1}{T} A}$ which is a certain probability measure over ${\cal B}_i$. We denote this setting "the general XY model". In order to do our analysis we consider the Ruelle operator associated to $\frac{1}{T} A$, and, we get in this procedure the main eigenfunction $ψ_{\frac{1}{T} A}$. Later, we analyze selection problems when temperature goes to zero: a) existence, or not, of the limit (on the uniform convergence) $$V:=\lim_{T\to 0} T\, \log(ψ_{\frac{1}{T} A}),\,\,\,\,\text{a question about selection of subaction},$$ and, b) existence, or not, of the limit (on the weak$^*$ sense) $$\tildeμ:=\lim_{T\to 0} \hatμ_{\frac{1}{T}\, A},\,\,\,\,\text{a question about selection of measure}.$$ The existence of subactions and other properties of Ergodic Optimization are also considered.

description: The Dirac's chord method may be suitable in different areas of physics for the representation of certain six-dimensional integrals for a convex body using the probability density of the chord length distribution. For a homogeneous model with a nonconvex body inside a medium with identical properties an analogue of the Dirac's chord method may be obtained, if to use so-called generalized chord distribution. The function is defined as normalized second derivative of the autocorrelation function. For nonconvex bodies this second derivative may have negative values and could not be directly related with a probability density. An interpretation of such a function using alternating sums of probability densities is considered. Such quasi-probability distributions may be used for Monte Carlo calculations of some integrals for a single body of arbitrary shape and for systems with two or more objects and such applications are also discussed in this work.

The effect of deuteration on receptor-ligand binding
Creators: name: Lee, Anna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: In this thesis, we use a particle coupled to a phonon bath to accurately model biological and chemical reactions. The path decomposition expansion (PDX) formalism is used to determine the tunneling dynamics of the particle. By decomposing the potential energy landscape into the classically allowed and classically forbidden regions, we can calculate the path integrals associated with each region and connect them to evaluate the full Green's function. We will also discuss how deuteration of ligand molecules may affect enzyme-substrate binding in GPCR systems. It has been theorized that binding may be dependent on a molecular vibrational component. We investigate this in the β-adrenergic receptor system using the deuterated and non-deuterated forms of the ligand epinephrine. The measurement for successful binding is determined by the amounts of second messenger cyclic-AMP produced. However, our results proved inconclusive and a discussion of possible problems as well as recommendations is included.

description: Optomechanics experiments are rapidly approaching the regime where the radiation pressure of a single photon displaces the mechanical oscillator by more than its zero-point uncertainty. We show that in this limit the power spectrum has multiple sidebands and that the cavity response has several resonances in the resolved-sideband limit. Using master-equation simulations, we also study the crossover from the weak-coupling many-photon to the single-photon strong-coupling regime. Finally, we find non-Gaussian steady-states of the mechanical oscillator when multi-photon transitions are resonant. Our study provides the tools to detect and take advantage of this novel regime of optomechanics.

description: Using a minimal model based on the continuum theory of a 2D hard-core/square-shoulder ensemble, we reinterpret the main features of cluster mesophases formed by colloids with soft concave repulsive interactions. We rederive the lattice spacing, the binding energy and the phase diagram. We also extend the clustering criterion [Likos, C. N., et al., Phys. Rev. E, 2001, 63, 031206; Glaser, M. A., et al. EPL 2007, 78, 46004] to include the effect of the hard cores, which precludes the formation of clusters at small densities.

description: We study electron transmission through a periodic array of quantum dots (QD) sandwiched between doped semiconductor leads. When the Fermi wavelength of tunneling electron exceeds the array lattice constant, the off-resonant per QD conductance is enhanced by several orders of magnitude relative to the single-QD conductance. The physical mechanism of the enhancement is delocalization of a small fraction of system eigenstates caused by coherent coupling of QDs via the electron continuum in the leads.

description: Eukaryotic DNA is packaged into chromatin: one-dimensional arrays of nucleosomes separated by stretches of linker DNA are folded into 30-nm chromatin fibers which in turn form higher-order structures. Each nucleosome, the fundamental unit of chromatin, has 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer. In order to describe how chromatin fiber formation affects nucleosome positioning and energetics, we have developed a thermodynamic model of finite-size particles with effective nearest-neighbor interactions and arbitrary DNA-binding energies. We show that both one- and two-body interactions can be accurately extracted from one-particle density profiles based on high-throughput maps of in vitro or in vivo nucleosome positions. Although a simpler approach that neglects two-body interactions (even if they are in fact present in the system) can be used to predict sequence determinants of nucleosome positions, the full theory is required to disentangle one- and two-body effects. Finally, we construct a minimal model in which nucleosomes are positioned by steric exclusion and two-body interactions rather than intrinsic histone-DNA sequence preferences. The model accurately reproduces nucleosome occupancy patterns observed over transcribed regions in living cells.

description: An algebraic theory of dualities is developed based on the notion of bond algebras. It deals with classical and quantum dualities in a unified fashion explaining the precise connection between quantum dualities and the low temperature (strong-coupling)/high temperature (weak-coupling) dualities of classical statistical mechanics (or (Euclidean) path integrals). Its range of applications includes discrete lattice, continuum field, and gauge theories. Dualities are revealed to be local, structure-preserving mappings between model-specific bond algebras that can be implemented as unitary transformations, or partial isometries if gauge symmetries are involved. This characterization permits to search systematically for dualities and self-dualities in quantum models of arbitrary system size, dimensionality and complexity, and any classical model admitting a transfer matrix representation. Dualities like exact dimensional reduction, emergent, and gauge-reducing dualities that solve gauge constraints can be easily understood in terms of mappings of bond algebras. As a new example, we show that the (\mathbb{Z}_2) Higgs model is dual to the extended toric code model {\it in any number of dimensions}. Non-local dual variables and Jordan-Wigner dictionaries are derived from the local mappings of bond algebras. Our bond-algebraic approach goes beyond the standard approach to classical dualities, and could help resolve the long standing problem of obtaining duality transformations for lattice non-Abelian models. As an illustration, we present new dualities in any spatial dimension for the quantum Heisenberg model. Finally, we discuss various applications including location of phase boundaries, spectral behavior and, notably, we show how bond-algebraic dualities help constrain and realize fermionization in an arbitrary number of spatial dimensions.
