description: We study the quantum dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates when the scattering length is modulated periodically or quasi-periodically in time within the Bogoliubov framework. For the periodically driven case, we consider two protocols where the modulation is a square-wave or a sine-wave. In both protocols for each fixed momentum, there are heating and non-heating phases, and a phase boundary between them. The two phases are distinguished by whether the number of excited particles grows exponentially or not. For the quasi-periodically driven case, we again consider two protocols: the square-wave quasi-periodicity, where the excitations are generated for almost all parameters as an analog of the Fibonacci-type quasi-crystal; and the sine-wave quasi-periodicity, where there is a finite measure parameter regime for the non-heating phase. We also plot the analogs of the Hofstadter butterfly for both protocols.

description: Among the great mysteries that physics has not yet solved are undoubtedly those of dark energy and dark matter. In this chapter we deal with the first of them. We will expound in detail the motivations that led to hypothesise the existence of dark energy, the importance of understanding its nature, its main possible theoretical explanations and a list of the many attempts at modelling it. We conclude with a description of the most recent and future missions on Earth and in space devised to shed light on this mystery.

The estranged self : alienation, personhood and politics in John Rawls
Creators: name: Philips, Menaka
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This paper argues that John Rawls presents two conflicting notions of the self in his theory of justice, one political, the other metaphysical. Though Rawls claims that his theory of justice utilizes and protects his political notion of the self, his work in fact relies upon the metaphysical persona. Rawls's political conception of the self articulates a socially, historically and civically grounded view of the person and, as I argue, is a productive notion of personhood for political theory. In contrast, his metaphysical entity bears no resemblance to concrete human selves, and is therefore a highly problematic element of his work. Standing critiques of Rawls have located the metaphysical or unencumbered notion of the self in his works, and have presented challenging arguments against it However, Rawls's political conception of the self remains largely unexamined by his critics. The lack of attention given to his political self is due, as I argue, to Rawls's inability to support or develop this persona within his own project. I suggest that the conceptual frameworks Rawls utilizes to build his theory of justice, namely the original position, the overlapping consensus, and public reason, effectively strip down his political conception of the self and replace it with an abstract entity. My analysis employs Karl Marx's notion of alienation and his socio-historical approach to politics. I use Marx's conception of alienation to identify what happens to political selves within Rawls's project. Further, I identify similarities between Marx's view of humanity and Rawls's political self concerning their political implications, and questions of class and social justice. In essence, I argue that Rawls's theory of justice opposes his valuable but submerged theory of the person; his approach to obtaining a just society violates the political selves that he claims to defend. However, while his theory of justice cannot be sustained for these reasons, Rawls's theory of the self should be recovered and its relevance to discourses of justice re-assessed. As a critique of Rawls's failure to support his theory of the self, this paper, I hope, may be an initial step towards such a recovery.
title: Study of optimization procedures with neural networks for the reconstruction of hadronic Bs0 decays at Belle
Creators: name: Leopold, Alexander
Publisher: name: TU Wien
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: heavy flavour physics
subject: neural networks

description: The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) describes all known matter and its interactions - with the exception of gravity - to very high precision. The picture is not complete though, driving searches for physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). To find hints for BSM physics high precision testing of the predictions provided by the SM are required. One of the areas of interest in this regard is the study of rare decays, denoting decay processes with very low branching ratio predictions in the SM, but increased values in BSM theories. Rare decays accessible at the Belle experiment, which is located at the asymmetric energy electron-positron collider KEKB in Tsukuba, Japan, are leptonic decays of B_s 0 mesons, e.g. B_s 0 \to \tau \tau or B_s 0 \to \ell \tau. To circumvent difficulties in the reconstruction of these decay modes arising from not detected neutrinos in the final state, a method called hadronic tagging is used. With this technique one of the two B_s 0 mesons created at an electron-positron collision event is reconstructed in a full hadronic final state. To increase the reconstruction efficiencies of these hadronic tags compared to plain cut based selection, the inclusion of artificial neural networks into the reconstruction algorithms has proven effective in prior projects. This is due to the improved signal and background identification provided by neural networks, which are multivariate analysis tools mainly developed for machine learning purposes. Within this thesis the incorporation of 104 optimized neural networks into the hadronic tag, which was developed by the Vienna Belle Group, has been realised. In its finalized version the tag reaches a reconstruction efficiency of epsilon = 0.042% including 5416 full hadronic decay chains.

description: This research examined the challenges that flood disasters in flood-prone urban community pose to disaster risk management particularly in protecting school children in the context of climate change. The researcher explored how local community reduces risks to floods and improve their disaster risk management. The researcher made use of the triangulation method involving observation, key informant interviews (KIIs), focus group discussion (FGD), and participatory assessment tools via a sequential exploratory mixed method design. As revealed, the main factors to influence low level of adaptive capacity among school children are the absence of practices and ways in their local community to adapt to flood hazards due to complacency about floods because of the experience of events that did not turn into disasters. One barrier of mainstreaming disaster risk reduction is the low involvement of parents and remained passive participants in preparing events like flooding.
Hybrid Modal Operators for Definite Descriptions

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this paper, we study computational complexity and expressive power of modal operators for definite descriptions, which correspond to statements `the modal world which satisfies formula \(varphi\)'. We show that adding such operators to the basic (propositional) modal language has a price of increasing complexity of the satisfiability problem from PSpace to ExpTime. However, if formulas corresponding to descriptions are Boolean only, there is no increase of complexity. Furthermore, we compare definite descriptions with the related operators from hybrid and counting logics. We prove that the operators for definite descriptions are strictly more expressive than hybrid operators, but strictly less expressive than counting operators. We show that over linear structures the same expressive power results hold as in the general case; in contrast, if the linear structures are isomorphic to integers, definite descriptions become as expressive as counting operators.

description: We present the first results of a search for invisible axion dark matter using a multiple-cell cavity haloscope. This cavity concept was proposed to provide a highly efficient approach to high mass regions compared to the conventional multiple-cavity design, with larger detection volume, simpler detector setup, and unique phase-matching mechanism. Searches with a double-cell cavity superseded previous reports for the axion-photon coupling over the mass range between 13.0 and 13.9$\,μ$eV. This result not only demonstrates the novelty of the cavity concept for high-mass axion searches, but also suggests it can make considerable contributions to the next-generation experiments.

description: The energy and structure of dilute gases of hard spheres in three dimensions is discussed, together with some aspects of the corresponding 2D systems. A variational approach in the framework of the Hypernetted Chain Equations (HNC) is used starting from a Jastrow wavefunction that is optimized to produce the best two--body correlation factor with the appropriate long range. Relevant quantities describing static properties of the system are studied as a function of the gas parameter $x=ρa^d$ where $ρ$, $a$ and $d$ are the density, $s$--wave scattering length of the potential and dimensionality of the space, respectively. The occurrence of a maximum in the radial distribution function and in the momentum distribution is a natural effect of the correlations when $x$ increases. Some aspects of the asymptotic behavior of the functions characterizing the structure of the systems are also investigated.

Skunks, puppets, and human beings : exploring young people’s understanding of individual and kind identity
Creators: name: Phillips, Jesse
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Taking its cue from one of the oldest of the old philosophical discourses—the relationship of one's body, and all of its determinations, to selfhood—the program of research reported here explores possible age-graded shifts in how young people, ordinarily understand the identity "objects" in the face of change. Trading upon earlier work by Gelman, (2003), Atran (2002), and Keil (1989), as well as Piaget (1983), the study reported here is intended as a means of getting clear about what are taken to be the persistent features of "objects" belonging to three ontologically distinct categories— categories that are standardly referred to as "things of a natural kind," artifacts, and persons. What is particularly novel about this study effort is that target objects of these three distinct ontological sorts were presented (in story form), all in ways that emphasized their credentials as either a "Kind' of thing, or their status as individuals. More particularly, I undertook to measure age-graded changes in the way that a building sample of 50 adolescents differently conceptualize such notions of kind and individual identity. The findings indicate that when young people were presented with tasks that required them to make judgments about the nature of "individual" and "kind" identity, they proved to be quite insensitive to matters of categorical membership. Instead, they tended to essentialize when these "objects" were described as kinds of things, but were significantly less ready to reason essentialistically when the individual character of these same objects was emphasized.

description: We report low frequency charge noise measurement on silicon substrates with different phosphorus doping densities. The measurements are performed with aluminum single electron transistors (SETs) at millikelvin temperatures where the substrates are in the insulating regime. By measuring the SET Coulomb oscillations, we find a gate voltage dependent charge noise on the more heavily doped substrate. This charge noise, which is seen to have a 1/f spectrum, is attributed to the electric field induced tunneling of electrons from their phosphorus donor potentials.

description: Traditional chocolate and whole-meal flour breakfast cereals were analyzed to determine the total concentrations and bioaccessibilities of some elements. For the total concentration, the samples were prepared by microwave digestion. In addition, certified reference materials were used to verify the accuracy of the method, which was 82–106% for the analytes. Great variation in the concentrations was observed, possibly due to the raw materials used to produce the cereals. For the bioaccessibility study, an in vitro digestion method was used, and the accuracy was verified by the addition and recovery method. Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn had detectable bioaccessibilities from 37% to 47%, 1% to 41%, 8% to 61%, and 4% to 24% of the total concentrations, respectively. Aluminum, Ba, and Mo had concentrations below the limit of quantification. Therefore, breakfast cereals complement a healthy diet, since some essential elements have high bioaccessibilities.

description: The Coulomb screening effect and the finite-size effect such as surface tension are figured out in the hadron-quark deconfinement phase transition. We study the mixed phase of the quark droplets immersed in hadron matter. We see that the droplet phase is mechanically unstable if the surface tension is strong enough. Once the Coulomb potential is properly taken into account, we could effectively satisfy the condition for charge chemical equilibrium in the Maxwell construction. As a result, we suggest the Maxwell construction revives the physical meaning effectively.

description: We present a Raman spectroscopy study of iodine-intercalated (p-type-doped) double-walled carbon nanotubes. Double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) are synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition and characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The assignment of the radial breathing modes and the tangential modes of pristine DWCNTs is done in the framework of the bond polarization theory, using the spectral moment method. The changes in the Raman spectrum upon iodine doping are analyzed. Poly-iodine anions are identi- fied, and the Raman spectra reveal that the charge transfer between iodine and DWCNTs only involves the outer tubes.

description: For a fast rotating condensate in a harmonic trap, we investigate the structure of the vortex lattice using wave functions minimizing the Gross Pitaveskii energy in the Lowest Landau Level. We find that the minimizer of the energy in the rotating frame has a distorted vortex lattice for which we plot the typical distribution. We compute analytically the energy of an infinite regular lattice and of a class of distorted lattices. We find the optimal distortion and relate it to the decay of the wave function. Finally, we generalize our method to other trapping potentials.

description: A large percentage of the energy consumption occurs in the building sector, especially for heating and cooling. According to the overall goal to decrease the cooling demand in tropical climate, a radical new approach for sustainable architecture is being realized in the Philippines on Palawan near Puerto Princesa City within the EU switchasia project Zero Carbon Resorts (ZCR). This prototype building combines vernacular building elements and indigenous materials with a contemporary architecture and up to date technologies for zero energy buildings. But for a further distribution the functionality of the concept has to be proven and that thermal comfort in a resort cottage made of local renewable resources in tropical climate can be achieved due to design features and natural ventilation without the use of air conditioning units. Within this work a comprehensive monitoring of the local outdoor climate and the indoor environment was carried out, subdivided in a long time monitoring with special focus on the air temperature and the relative humidity and a short time monitoring using the PMV/PPD method for the evaluation of thermal comfort at selected positions. In a first step the indoor conditions of each room were compared with the local outdoor climate, showing that the correlation is dependent on the design of the building, the position of the rooms and the different implemented passive cooling strategies, while also distinctions between different types of sensors and their varying positions within each room were explored. In the second part the PMV/PPD method, based on the standards of ASHRAE and DIN EN ISO 7730, was adapted for the evaluation of thermal comfort in natural ventilated buildings. In addition, the measured values were then also applied to modified psychrometric charts for the use in tropical climate. The results are showing that, considering the circumstances of this extreme hot and humid climate at the project location, acceptable indoor conditions can be achieved by the implemented design features of this sustainable building.

description: We present new results on the X-ray spectroscopy of multicharged argon, sulfur and chlorine obtained with the Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Trap (ECRIT) in operation at the Paul Scherrer Institut (Villigen, Switzerland). We used a Johann-type Bragg spectrometer with a spherically-bent crystal, with an energy resolution of about 0.4 eV. The ECRIT itself is of a hybrid type, with a superconducting split coil magnet, special iron inserts which provides the mirror field, and a permanent magnetic hexapole. The high frequency was provided by a 6.4 GHz microwave emitter. We obtained high intensity X-ray spectra of multicharged F-like to He-like argon, sulfur and chlorine with one 1s hole. In particular, we observed the $1s2s^{3}S_1 \to 1s^2^{1}S_0 M1$ and $1s2p^{3}P_2 \to 1s^2^{1}S_0 M2$ transitions in He-like argon, sulfur and chlorine with unprecedented statistics and resolution. The energies of the observed lines are being determined with good accuracy using the He-like M1 line as a reference.
Joint modeling of the probability distribution and power spectrum of the Lya forest: comparison with observations at z=3

description: We presents results of joint modeling of the probability distribution function (PDF) and the one-dimensional power spectrum (PS) of the Lya forest flux decrement. The sensitivity of these statistical measures to the shape and amplitude of the linear matter power spectrum is investigated using two variants of the LCDM cosmology. In the first model, the linear power spectrum has a scale-invariant spectral index, whereas in the second, it has a negative running index (RSI). We generate mock catalogs of QSO spectra, and compare their statistical properties to those of the observations at z=3. We perform a joint fit of the power spectrum and PDF. A scale-invariant model with σ_8=0.9 matches well the data if the mean IGM temperature is T\leq 15000K. For higher temperature, it tends to overestimate the flux power spectrum over scales k < 0.01s/km. The discrepancy is less severe when the PS alone is fitted. However, models matching the PS alone do not yield a good fit to the PDF. A joint analysis of the flux PS and PDF tightens the constraints on the model parameters and reduces systematic biases. The RSI model is consistent with the observed PS and PDF only if the temperature is T\geq 20000K. The best fit models reproduce the slope and normalisation of the column density distribution, irrespective of the shape and amplitude of the linear power spectrum. They are also consistent with the observed line-width distribution given the large uncertainties. Our joint analysis suggests that σ_8 is likely to be in the range 0.7 - 0.9 for a temperature 10000K

We argue that contrary to the popular opinion based on the Kaluza-Klein approach, the cross-section does not increase with energy, but changes the slope close to the compactification scale and then decreases like in the 4-dimensional theory. A particular example of the quark-antiquark scattering due to the gluon exchange in the bulk is considered.

The main topics are the planning- and architectural-related influencing factors in connection to the economical demands of the project. The challenge is to find the best balance of additional charges, which are leading to an enhancement in value, on the one hand and economisation, followed by a decreasing value, on the other hand. The main goal is to streamline the relation between costs and advantage. In the year 2014, the property was built-up with a private residential construction, containing eight appartments. I will bring my blueprint in contrast to a realized project in order to validate the economic efficiency.

Unlike the $χ_{cJ}$ electromagnetic decay processes, the $\mathcal{O}(α_s^2)$ corrections are found to be smaller than the $\mathcal{O}(α_s)$ corrections in all three channels $e^+e^-\to χ_{c0,1,2}+γ$. In particular, the ${\mathcal O}(α_s^2)$ corrections appear moderate for $χ_{c1}$ case, and insignificant for $χ_{c0}$. In addition, the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) predictions for the production rates of $χ_{c0,1}+γ$ are insensitive to the renormalization and factorization scales. All of these features may indicate that perturbative expansion in these two channels exhibits a decent convergence behavior. By contrast, both the ${\mathcal O}(α_s)$ and ${\mathcal O}(α_s^2)$ corrections to the $χ_{c2}+γ$ production cross section are sizable, which even reduces the Born order cross section by one order of magnitude after including the NNLO perturbative correction. Taking the values of the long-distance NRQCD matrix elements from nonrelativistic potential model, our prediction to $χ_{c1}+γ$ production rate is consistent with the recent {\tt Belle} measurement. The NNLO predictions for the $χ_{c0,2}+γ$ production rates are much smaller than that for $χ_{c1}+γ$, which seems to naturally explain why the $e^+e^-\to χ_{c0,2}+γ$ channels have escaped experimental detection to date.

Official space(s) & contemporary Canadian nation-building : an analysis of the Shari’a proposal in the marginalization and privatization of Muslim women post 9/11
Creators: name: Rasul, Zahra Firoz

description: September 11, 2001 will be a date forever etched in the memories of people all over the world. For most in the Global North, it signaled a dangerous shift in international security and rise of "threat" to "freedom"; for most in the Global South, it meant being subjugated to a renewed set of imperial conquests of the Muslim world. For some of us in Canada, it marked the beginning of a series of exclusionary measures to definitively cast us as "the enemy". In the new "War on Terror", political and ideological lines delineate "us" and "them", "insiders" and "outsiders" to the Canadian nation (Thobani, 2003). But what about those of us who identify as both Canadian and Muslim? How are we implicated in this "war"? Particularly, how and where are Muslim women positioned in the debate, and how does our positioning effect Canada's reputation as a "benevolent", "inclusive" nation? (Razack, 2004) These issues lie at the root of contemporary Canadian nation-building post 9/11. In order to uncover the fractures and fissures in this debate, I engage in a case study of the Shari'a debate in Ontario in 2004.1 conduct an anti-racist feminist textual analysis of Marion Boyd's report (2004), which advocates for the recommendation of Shari'a tribunals to be permitted under the Ontario Arbitration Act 1991 in adjudicating family law issues. My findings suggest that the recommendation not only homogenizes the experience of all women subject to religious tribunals, but it also serves an important ideological function in both Canada's maintenance of "Whiteness" in the nation and promotion of "altruism" to the rest of the world. I argue that these functions are achieved through the systematic marginalization and privatization of Muslim women to "official Othered spaces", while reflecting on my own positionality as a Canadian Muslim woman.

description: A completely antisymmetrized Green's function approach to the inclusive quasielastic $(e,e')$ scattering, including a realistic one-body density, is presented. The single particle Green's function is expanded in terms of the eigenfunctions of the nonhermitian optical potential. This allows one to treat final state interactions consistently in the inclusive and in the exclusive reactions. Nuclear correlations are included in the one-body density. Numerical results for the response functions of $^{16}$O and $^{40}$Ca are presented and discussed.

description: In the field of Explainable AI (XAI), counterfactual (CF) explanations are one prominent method to interpret a black-box model by suggesting changes to the input that would alter a prediction. In real-world applications, the input is predominantly in tabular form and comprised of mixed data types and complex feature interdependencies. These unique data characteristics are difficult to model, and we empirically show that they lead to bias towards specific feature types when generating CFs. To overcome this issue, we introduce TABCF, a CF explanation method that leverages a transformer-based Variational Autoencoder (VAE) tailored for modeling tabular data. Our approach uses transformers to learn a continuous latent space and a novel Gumbel-Softmax detokenizer that enables precise categorical reconstruction while preserving end-to-end differentiability. Extensive quantitative evaluation on five financial datasets demonstrates that TABCF does not exhibit bias toward specific feature types, and outperforms existing methods in producing effective CFs that align with common CF desiderata.

description: Recent trends in AI verification and Explainable AI have raised the question of whether AI planning techniques can be verified. In this paper, we present a novel resource logic, the Proof Carrying Plans (PCP) logic that can be used to verify plans produced by AI planners. The PCP logic takes inspiration from existing resource logics (such as Linear logic and Separation logic) as well as Hoare logic when it comes to modelling states and resource-aware plan execution. It also capitalises on the Curry-Howard approach to logics, in its treatment of plans as functions and plan pre- and post-conditions as types. This paper presents two main results. From the theoretical perspective, we show that the PCP logic is sound relative to the standard possible world semantics used in AI planning. From the practical perspective, we present a complete Agda formalisation of the PCP logic and of its soundness proof. Moreover, we showcase the Curry-Howard, or functional, value of this implementation by supplementing it with the library that parses AI plans into Agda's proofs automatically. We provide evaluation of this library and the resulting Agda functions.

description: Нами приводятся аналитические данные по изучению генетических аспектов метаболизма катехоламинов, которые играют ключевую роль в понимании множества физиологических и психологических процессов в организме человека. Показано, что одним из важнейших генов, связанных с метаболизмом дофамина и его производных, является ген COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase). Данный ген кодирует фермент, участвующий в метаболизме катехоламинов, включая дофамин, адреналин и норэпинефрин, играющих важную роль в регуляции многих физиологических процессов, включая реакцию на стресс, регуляцию настроения и динамику сердечно-сосудистой системы Определено, что полиморфизмы гена COMT демонстрируют значительные вариации в различных популяциях мира и играют важную роль в формировании психического здоровья и когнитивных функциях
Applications of Canonical Transformations

description: Canonical transformations are defined and discussed along with the exponential, the coherent and the ultracoherent vectors. It is shown that the single-mode and the $n$-mode squeezing operators are elements of the group of canonical transformations. An application of canonical transformations is made, in the context of open quantum systems, by studying the effect of squeezing of the bath on the decoherence properties of the system. Two cases are analyzed. In the first case the bath consists of a massless bosonic field with the bath reference states being the squeezed vacuum states and squeezed thermal states while in the second case a system consisting of a harmonic oscillator interacting with a bath of harmonic oscillators is analyzed with the bath being initially in a squeezed thermal state.

description: We demonstrate a novel approach to the generation of femtosecond electron bunch trains via laser-driven wakefield acceleration. We use two independent high-intensity laser pulses, a drive, and injector, each creating their own plasma wakes. The interaction of the laser pulses and their wakes results in a periodic injection of free electrons in the drive plasma wake via several mechanisms, including ponderomotive drift, wake-wake interference, and pre-acceleration of electrons directly by strong laser fields. Electron trains were generated with up to 4 quasi-monoenergetic bunches, each separated in time by a plasma period. The time profile of the generated trains is deduced from an analysis of beam loading and confirmed using 2D Particle-in-Cell simulations.

"It was about the change!" : articulating and contextualizing the anti-oppressive practices of new elementary educators
Creators: name: Polukoshko, Jody June
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This qualitative study locates elementary educators new to the profession in their experiences in the current educational climate of Southwestern British Columbia. Data for this study was generated through six semi-structured interviews and one focus group with elementary school teachers in the first seven years of their practice. Using an anti-oppressive framework that meshes Kumashiro (2002) and Young (1990), and drawing on relevant literature to interpret the findings, I argue that teachers in elementary schools are enacting a variety of practices in their classrooms that span a range of anti-oppressive possibilities. These practices are shaped by the particularities of elementary education and the current educational climate, both of which are implicated in their choice of, and the results, of their actions. The research suggests that for new teachers, becoming ah anti-oppressive educator is an iterative process that develops alongside increasing support, knowledge and agency of teachers. I have concluded with an investigation of the participants' articulation of changes needed to better support new elementary teachers in enacting anti-oppressive pedagogies.
