Molecular weight effects in guar gum adsorption and depression of talc
Creators: name: Garcia Vidal, Claudio Andres
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The effect of the molecular weight of guar gum on adsorption, talc depression, and stability of talc suspensions was studied. Four guar gum samples of different molecular weights in the range from 0.162 MDa to 1.4 MDa were used. It was also found that the intrinsic viscosities of the guar gum samples were independent of the type of background solution (NaCl, KCl, distilled water). The adsorption density of the tested guar gum samples on talc was measured from the same background solutions at pH 9. The floatability of fine talc particles as well as their stability towards aggregation in the presence of guar gum were simultaneously determined so a direct relationship between talc depression and talc flocculation/dispersion by guar gum could be established. It was found that the effect of the molecular weight of guar gum on the adsorption density was negligible. No effect of the background electrolyte on guar gum adsorption was observed. All four guar gum samples were found to be equally strong depressants of talc flotation without any clear relationship with their molecular weights. It was determined that an adsorption density equal to about 20% of the complete surface coverage was sufficient to completely depress talc floatability. All guar gum samples also exhibited strong flocculating capabilities towards the talc particles at lower polymer dosages. As determined from turbidity data, higher molecular weight guar gum samples were more powerful flocculants than lower molecular samples. Most importantly, the strongest depression of talc flotation and the most pronounced flocculation of talc were found to occur at the same dosage. Higher doses of the polymers kept the talc particles completely depressed while simultaneously causing gradual steric redispersion of the mineral. The dispersing capabilities of the polymers were a function of the molecular weight, with the lower molecular weight samples bringing about stronger dispersion than higher molecular weight samples. It was concluded that a high molecular weight guar gum would be the best depressant, since such a polymer would strongly depress the flotation of talc while minimizing talc dispersion and subsequent mechanical entrainment in the flotation concentrate.

description: Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over the rationals without complex multiplication. The field $F$ generated by all torsion points of $E$ is an infinite, non-abelian Galois extension of the rationals which has unbounded, wild ramification above all primes. We prove that the absolute logarithmic Weil height of an element of $F$ is either zero or bounded from below by a positive constant depending only on $E$. We also show that the Néron-Tate height has a similar gap on $E(F)$ and use this to determine the structure of the group $E(F)$.

Sobolev differentiable stochastic flows for SDEs with singular coefficients: Applications to the transport equation

description: In this paper, we establish the existence of a stochastic flow of Sobolev diffeomorphisms \[\mathbb{R}^d\ni x\quad\longmapsto\quadϕ_{s,t}(x)\in \mathbb{R}^d,\qquad s,t\in\mathbb{R}\] for a stochastic differential equation (SDE) of the form \[dX_t=b(t,X_t)\,dt+dB_t,\qquad s,t\in\mathbb{R},X_s=x\in\mathbb{R}^d.\] The above SDE is driven by a bounded measurable drift coefficient $b:\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^d$ and a $d$-dimensional Brownian motion $B$. More specifically, we show that the stochastic flow $ϕ_{s,t}(\cdot)$ of the SDE lives in the space $L^2(Ω;W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^d,w))$ for all $s,t$ and all $p\in (1,\infty)$, where $W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^d,w)$ denotes a weighted Sobolev space with weight $w$ possessing a $p$th moment with respect to Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb {R}^d$. From the viewpoint of stochastic (and deterministic) dynamical systems, this is a striking result, since the dominant "culture" in these dynamical systems is that the flow "inherits" its spatial regularity from that of the driving vector fields. The spatial regularity of the stochastic flow yields existence and uniqueness of a Sobolev differentiable weak solution of the (Stratonovich) stochastic transport equation \[\cases{\displaystyle d_tu(t,x)+\bigl(b(t,x)\cdot Du(t,x)\bigr)\,dt+\sum_{i=1}^de_i\cdot Du(t,x)\circ dB_t^i=0,\cr u(0,x)=u_0(x),}\] where $b$ is bounded and measurable, $u_0$ is $C_b^1$ and $\{e_i\}_{i=1}^d$ a basis for $\mathbb{R}^d$. It is well known that the deterministic counterpart of the above equation does not in general have a solution.

description: We study the general deformations of maximal eight-dimensional supergravity by using the embedding tensor approach. The scalar potential induced by these gaugings is determined. Subsequently, by combining duality covariance arguments and algebraic geometry techniques, we find the complete set of critical points of the scalar potential. Remarkably, up to SO(2) X SO(3) rotations there turns out to be a unique theory admitting extrema. The gauge group of the theory is CSO(2,0,1).

description: A measurement of the top-antitop production charge asymmetry A_C is presented using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb^-1 of pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events are selected with a single lepton (electron or muon), missing transverse momentum and at least four jets of which at least one jet is identified as coming from a b-quark. A kinematic fit is used to reconstruct the ttbar event topology. After background subtraction, a Bayesian unfolding procedure is performed to correct for acceptance and detector effects. The measured value of A_C is A_C = -0.018 +/- 0.028 (stat.) +/- 0.023 (syst.), consistent with the prediction from the MC@NLO Monte Carlo generator of A_C = 0.006 +/- 0.002. Measurements of A_C in two ranges of invariant mass of the top-antitop pair is also shown.

The effects of global climate change on carbonation induced corrosion of reinforced concrete structures
Creators: name: Talukdar, Sudip
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: There is nearly unanimous consensus amongst scientists that increasing greenhouse gas emissions, including CO₂ generated by human activity, are affecting the Earth‘s climate. Climate change has the potential to overwhelm existing capacities, as well as durability of concrete infrastructure. Carbonation of concrete occurs due to a reaction between atmospheric CO₂ and the hydrated phases of concrete, leading to a drop in its pH and the depassivation of embedded rebar. Therefore, increases in carbonation rates of reinforced concrete structures are expected as a result of increased temperatures and CO₂ concentrations, with the enhanced risk of carbonation induced corrosion likely affecting the longevity of our concrete infrastructure. This thesis considered the potential consiquences of global climate change on our concrete infrastructure, with the objective being to determine if there is an increased risk of deterioration due to carbonation induced corrosion. A unique numerical model was developed to determine carbonation rates in structures, and verified through experimental tests. The model was applied to a number of cities in locations throughout the world to determine where structures were most vulnerable. Additionally, a number of other laboratory experiments were carried out to supplement the numerical model and provide insights as to how carbonation progress can be monitored within a structure. Using the model developed, and inputting forecasts for increases in future atmospheric CO₂ concentrations and weather conditions, it was shown that for medium quality, non-pozzolonic concrete in geographic areas where carbonation induced corrosion is a concern, global climate change will affect its progress in our concrete infrastructure. We will see much higher ultimate carbonation depths in the long term. The use of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, and structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques could be invaluable in monitoring the progress of carbonation in a structure, but the data generated by the methods and techniques used must be analyzed carefully before making any conclusions. For the NDT methods and carbonation pH sensors which were evaluated in this study, it was found that ambient test conditions had a major impact on results.
Non-adiabatic entropy production for non-Markov dynamics
Creators: name: García-García, Reinaldo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We extend the definition of non-adiabatic entropy production given for Markovian systems in [M. Esposito and C. Van den Broeck, Phys. Rev. Lett. 104 090601, (2010)], to arbitrary non-Markov ergodic dynamics. We also introduce a notion of stability characterizing non-Markovianity. For stable non-Markovian systems, the non-adiabatic entropy production satisfies an integral fluctuation theorem, leading to the second law of thermodynamics for transitions between non-equilibrium steady-states. This quantity can also be written as a sum of products of generalized fluxes and forces, thus being suitable for thermodynamics. On the other hand, the generalized fluctuation-dissipation relation also holds, clarifying that the conditions for it to be satisfied are ergodicity and stability instead of Markovianity. We show that in spite of being counter-intuitive, the stability criterion introduced in this work may be violated in non-Markovian systems even if they are ergodic, leading to a violation of the fluctuation theorem and the generalized fluctuation-dissipation relation. Stability represents then a necessary condition for the above properties to hold and explains why the generalized fluctuation-dissipation relation has remained elusive in the study of non-Markov systems exhibiting non-equilibrium steady-states.

description: ABSTRACT The text is a revised version of a public lecture delivered in Parma,
Italy, on February 9, 2010. It outlines a definition of linguistic ecology and
analyzes the role of the formal education system in the linguistic ecology of
modernity. The shift from solid to liquid modernity is shown to have farreaching
implications for schools and for languages that in turn are bound up
with the ecological health of the planet. I argue that interlinguistics can yield
important insights into the linguistic ecology of transmodernity, a systemic
alternative to the present sociological impasse.

RESUMO La teksto estas reviziita versio de publika prelego prezentita en Parma,

Montriĝas ke la transiro de solida al likva moderneco kuntrenas profundajn
sekvojn por la lernejoj kaj la lingvoj, kaj ke ĉio ĉi kunplektiĝas kun la ekologia
sano de la planedo. Mi argumentas, ke la interlingvistiko povas grave kontribui
al nia kompreno pri la lingva ekologio de la transmoderneco, konceptita
kiel sistema alternativo al la nuna sociologia sakstrato.

il contributo alla creazione, nel mondo di una cultura comune, di un sentire
comune, di una comunione d’intenti, affermando che un motivo etico era alla
base del movimento delle origini: come una lingua-ponte, pur nella tutela
delle native, avrebbe contribuito al miglioramento della comunicazione nel
mondo, così una religione ponte, nei medesimi termini dell’Esperanto, avrebbe
aiutato il progresso dell’Umanità. In parte dissimulati, agli stessi Esperantisti,
origini e ideali dell’Esperanto, questo tentativo di globalizzazione ante
litteram mostra una supposta matrice di libero pensiero.

description: We study a critical behavior for the eigenvalue statistics in the two-matrix model in the quartic/quadratic case. For certain parameters, the eigenvalue distribution for one of the matrices has a limit that vanishes with an exponent 1/2 in the interior of the support. The main result of the paper is a new kernel that describes the local eigenvalue correlations near that critical point. The kernel is expressed in terms of a 4 x 4 Riemann-Hilbert problem related to the Hastings-McLeod solution of the Painlevé II equation. We then compare the new kernel with two other critical phenomena that appeared in the literature before. First, we show that the critical kernel that appears in case of quadratic vanishing of the limiting eigenvalue distribution can be retrieved from the new kernel by means of a double scaling limit. Second, we briefly discuss the relation with the tacnode singularity in non-colliding Brownian motions that was recently analyzed. Although the limiting density in that model also vanishes with an exponent 1/2 at a certain interior point, the process at the local scale is different from the process that we obtain in the two-matrix model.

description: Spin Hurwitz numbers count ramified covers of a spin surface, weighted by the size of their automorphism group (like ordinary Hurwitz numbers), but signed $\pm 1$ according to the parity of the covering surface. These numbers were first defined by Eskin-Okounkov-Pandharipande in order to study the moduli of holomorphic differentials on a Riemann surface. They have also been related to Gromov-Witten invariants of of complex 2-folds by work of Lee-Parker and Maulik-Pandharipande. In this paper, we construct a (spin) TQFT which computes these numbers, and deduce a formula for any genus in terms of the combinatorics of the Sergeev algebra, generalizing the formula of Eskin-Okounkov-Pandharipande. During the construction, we describe a procedure for averaging any TQFT over finite covering spaces based on the finite path integrals of Freed-Hopkins-Lurie-Teleman.

description: Motion blur arises from camera instability or swift movement of subjects within a scene. The objective of image deblurring is to eliminate these blur effects, thereby enhancing the image's quality. This task holds significant relevance, particularly in the era of smartphones and portable cameras. Yet, it remains a challenging issue, notwithstanding extensive research undertaken over many years. The fundamental concept in deblurring an image involves restoring a blurred pixel back to its initial state.Deep learning (DL) algorithms, recognized for their capability to identify unique and significant features from datasets, have gained significant attention in the field of machine learning. These algorithms have been increasingly adopted in geoscience and remote sensing (RS) for analyzing large volumes of data. In these applications, low-level attributes like spectral and texture features form the foundational layer. The high-level feature representations derived from the upper layers of the network can be directly utilized in classifiers for pixel-based analysis. Thus, for enhancing the accuracy of classification using RS data, ensuring the clarity and quality of each collected data in the dataset is crucial for the effective construction of deep learning models.In this thesis, we present the FFT-Cross Attention Transformer, an innovative approach amalgamating channel-focused and window-centric self-attention within a state-of-the-art(SOTA) Vision Transformer model. Augmented with a Fast Fourier Convolution Layer, this approach extends the Transformer's capability to capture intricate details in low-resolution images. Employing unified task pre-training during model development, we confirm the robustness of these enhancements through comprehensive testing, resulting in substantial performance gains. Notably, we achieve a remarkable 1dB improvement in the PSNR metric for remote sensing imagery, underscoring the transformative potential of the FFT-Cross Attention Transformer in advancing image processing and domain-specific vision tasks.

description: Both the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations have sought for effects beyond pure next-to-leading order in dijet observables, with the goal to distinguish between the perturbative descriptions provided by a next-to-leading order plus collinear-resummation calculation and by the resummation of wide-angle, hard emissions. In this paper we identify regions of phase space in dijet production where some observables receive large corrections beyond next-to-leading order and study their theoretical description with two tools that perform these two different resummations: the POWHEG BOX and HEJ. Furthermore, we suggest analyses where the predictions from POWHEG and HEJ can be clearly distinguished experimentally.

Middle power theory, change and continuity in the Asia-Pacific
Creators: name: Bezglasnyy, Anton
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This paper recalibrates the definition of ‘middle power’ and applies it to a comparative case study of Canadian and Australian foreign policies in the most dynamic region in the world, the Asia-Pacific. It is argued that the middle power concept remains a useful analytical tool in understanding the foreign policy behavior of states with a particular subset of material, institutional and identify characteristics. According to the refocused definition developed here, middle powers are states that possess all three of the following attributes: (i) medium sized material capabilities; (ii) perceive multilateralism and soft power as the optimal ways to maximize their foreign policy interests; and (iii) self identify as middle powers to domestic and international audiences. The particular value of the middle power concept advanced here, is the explanatory power it provides in the case of Canada and Australia in the contemporary Asia-Pacific: two states formerly classified as middle powers, possessing similar material capabilities, yet behaving in fundamentally different ways. This foreign policy divergence is accounted for by differences in ideational factors between the two states. Canada, it is argued, has socially deconstructed its own status as a middle power in the Asia-Pacific region, while Australia has bolstered its middle power identity.

description: The phonon density of states (DOS) and magnetic excitation spectrum of polycrystalline BiFeO$_3$ were measured for temperatures $200 \leq T \leq 750\,$K, using inelastic neutron scattering (INS). Our results indicate that the magnetic spectrum of BiFeO$_3$ closely resembles that of similar Fe perovskites, such as LaFeO$_3$, despite the cycloid modulation in BiFeO$_3$. We do not find any evidence for a spin gap. A strong $T$-dependence of the phonon DOS was found, with a marked broadening of the whole spectrum, providing evidence of strong anharmonicity. This anharmonicity is corroborated by large-amplitude motions of Bi and O ions observed with neutron diffraction. These results highlight the importance of spin-phonon coupling in this material.
Searching for cavities of various densities in the Earth's crust with a low-energy electron-antineutrino beta-beam

description: We propose searching for deep underground cavities of different densities in the Earth's crust using a long-baseline electron-antineutrino disappearance experiment, realized through a low-energy beta-beam with highly-enhanced luminosity. We focus on four cases: cavities with densities close to that of water, iron-banded formations, heavier mineral deposits, and regions of abnormal charge accumulation that have been posited to appear prior to the occurrence of an intense earthquake. The sensitivity to identify cavities attains confidence levels higher than $3σ$ and $5σ$ for exposures times of 3 months and 1.5 years, respectively, and cavity densities below 1 g cm$^{-3}$ or above 5 g cm$^{-3}$, with widths greater than 200 km. We reconstruct the cavity density, width, and position, assuming one of them known while keeping the other two free. We obtain large allowed regions that improve as the cavity density differs more from the Earth's mean density. Furthermore, we demonstrate that knowledge of the cavity density is important to obtain O(10%) error on the width. Finally, we introduce an observable to quantify the presence of a cavity by changing the orientation of the electron-antineutrino beam, with which we are able to identify the presence of a cavity at the $2σ$ to $5σ$ C.L.

Search for supersymmetry in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV in final states with missing transverse momentum and b-jets with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: The results of a search for supersymmetry in events with large missing transverse momentum and heavy flavour jets using an integrated luminosity corresponding to 2.05 fb^-1 of pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider are reported. No significant excess is observed with respect to the prediction for Standard Model processes. Results are interpreted in a variety of R-parity conserving models in which scalar bottoms and tops are the only scalar quarks to appear in the gluino decay cascade, and in an SO(10) model framework. Gluino masses up to 600-900 GeV are excluded, depending on the model considered.

Mathematical Structure of Loop Quantum Cosmology: Homogeneous Models
Creators: name: Bojowald, Martin
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The mathematical structure of homogeneous loop quantum cosmology is analyzed, starting with and taking into account the general classification of homogeneous connections not restricted to be Abelian. As a first consequence, it is seen that the usual approach of quantizing Abelian models using spaces of functions on the Bohr compactification of the real line does not capture all properties of homogeneous connections. A new, more general quantization is introduced which applies to non-Abelian models and, in the Abelian case, can be mapped by an isometric, but not unitary, algebra morphism onto common representations making use of the Bohr compactification. Physically, the Bohr compactification of spaces of Abelian connections leads to a degeneracy of edge lengths and representations of holonomies. Lifting this degeneracy, the new quantization gives rise to several dynamical properties, including lattice refinement seen as a direct consequence of state-dependent regularizations of the Hamiltonian constraint of loop quantum gravity. The representation of basic operators - holonomies and fluxes - can be derived from the full theory specialized to lattices. With the new methods of this article, loop quantum cosmology comes closer to the full theory and is in a better position to produce reliable predictions when all quantum effects of the theory are taken into account.

description: We determine the neutrino spectra arising from low-mass (4-10 GeV) dark matter annihilating in the sun. We also determine the low-mass dark matter capture rates (element by element in the sun), assuming dark matter interacts either through elastic contact interactions, elastic long-range interactions, or inelastic contact interactions. These are the non-detector-specific data needed for determining the sensitivity of a neutrino detector to dark matter annihilating in the sun. As an application, we estimate the sensitivity of a one kiloton liquid scintillation neutrino detector (such as KamLAND) and LBNE (LAr-based) to low-mass dark matter with long-range interactions and compare this to the expected CDMS sensitivity. It is found that KamLAND's sensitivity can exceed that obtainable from the current CDMS data set by up to two orders of magnitude.

description: Abstract The idea that natural languages can be whistled, in  order to be more perfect than ordinary, spoken ones, has always been  fascinating. This short communication presents a comparison between  one of the most important actual whistled languages in use, i.e.,  Silbo, and one of the most important a-priori languages  proposed in the past, i.e., Solresol. A series of theoretical  reflections about the very concept of language are then offered.
