description: Choosing a suitable algorithm from the myriads of different search heuristics is difficult when faced with a novel optimization problem. In this work, we argue that the purely academic question of what could be the best possible algorithm in a certain broad class of black-box optimizers can give fruitful indications in which direction to search for good established optimization heuristics. We demonstrate this approach on the recently proposed DLB benchmark, for which the only known results are $O(n^3)$ runtimes for several classic evolutionary algorithms and an $O(n^2 \log n)$ runtime for an estimation-of-distribution algorithm. Our finding that the unary unbiased black-box complexity is only $O(n^2)$ suggests the Metropolis algorithm as an interesting candidate and we prove that it solves the DLB problem in quadratic time. Since we also prove that better runtimes cannot be obtained in the class of unary unbiased algorithms, we shift our attention to algorithms that use the information of more parents to generate new solutions. An artificial algorithm of this type having an $O(n \log n)$ runtime leads to the result that the significance-based compact genetic algorithm (sig-cGA) can solve the DLB problem also in time $O(n \log n)$ with high probability. Our experiments show a remarkably good performance of the Metropolis algorithm, clearly the best of all algorithms regarded for reasonable problem sizes.

The effects of a play-based social emotional learning program on problem behaviour and social responsibility
Creators: name: Lyons, Alina Frances
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: A growing realization of the importance of addressing social–emotional, in addition to academic, development in schools highlights the importance of establishing an evidence base for SEL initiatives. The current study is an evaluation of one SEL initiative, Play Is The Way™ (McCaskill, 2011) which uses physically interactive games to promote social-emotional competencies and positive school climates. Play Is The Way™ was implemented in 5 classrooms of one elementary school. Five additional classrooms delayed implementation and served as comparison classrooms. Across the 10 Kindergarten through Grade 7 classrooms, 79 students were randomly selected and outcome measures were completed by teachers for those students before and after the intervention was implemented. Outcome measures included the Social Responsibility Quick Scale (British Columbia Ministry of Education, 2001), a measure of social responsibility, and the Behavior Assessment Scale for Children – Second Edition (Reynolds & Kamphaus, 2004), a measure of problem behaviour. A mixed-effects analysis of variance was used to determine if there were increases in social responsibility and decreases in problem behaviour in implementing classrooms. Gender and grade were included as predictors. Significant interactions were found on the externalizing outcome variable, between treatment group and gender, and on both the externalizing and internalizing outcome variables, between treatment group and grade. Results do not clearly support the use of PITW to reduce externalizing and internalizing behaviours, or to increase social responsibility in elementary students. Effect sizes indicated medium reductions in externalizing behaviours for upper elementary students and for male students; medium increases in externalizing behaviours for female and upper elementary students; medium reductions in internalizing behaviours for upper elementary; and large increases in internalizing behaviours for lower elementary students. Effect sizes indicating medium increases in social responsibility in the treatment group. Limitations of the current study include that classrooms were not randomly assigned to conditions, measures were completed by classroom teachers who also implemented the program, fidelity information was not available, and baseline ratings on the BASC-2 indicated a lack significant challenges in the areas measured by outcome variables. Results are discussed in light of these limitations, and the implications for future research and practice.

description: The reflection length of an element of a Coxeter group is the minimal number of conjugates of the standard generators whose product is equal to that element. In this paper we prove the conjecture of McCammond and Petersen that reflection length is unbounded in any non-affine Coxeter group. Among the tools used, the construction of word-hyperbolic quotients of all minimal non-affine Coxeter groups might be of independent interest.

description: We review in simple terms the covariant approaches to the canonical formulation of classical relativistic field theories (in particular gauge field theories and general relativity) and we discuss the relationships between these approaches as well as the relation with the standard (non-covariant) Hamiltonian formulation. Particular attention is paid to conservation laws (notably related to geometric symmetries) within the different approaches. Moreover, for each of these approaches, the impact of space-time boundaries is also addressed. To make the text accessible to a wider audience, we have included an outline of Poisson and symplectic geometry for both classical mechanics and field theory.

description: Coupled biological oscillators can tick with the same period. How this collective period is established is a key question in understanding biological clocks. We explore this question in the segmentation clock, a population of coupled cellular oscillators in the vertebrate embryo that sets the rhythm of somitogenesis, the morphological segmentation of the body axis. The oscillating cells of the zebrafish segmentation clock are thought to possess noisy autonomous periods, which are synchronized by intercellular coupling through the Delta-Notch pathway. Here we ask whether Delta-Notch coupling additionally influences the collective period of the segmentation clock. Using multiple-embryo time-lapse microscopy, we show that disruption of Delta-Notch intercellular coupling increases the period of zebrafish somitogenesis. Embryonic segment length and the spatial wavelength of oscillating gene expression also increase correspondingly, indicating an increase in the segmentation clock's period. Using a theory based on phase oscillators in which the collective period self-organizes because of time delays in coupling, we estimate the cell-autonomous period, the coupling strength, and the coupling delay from our data. Further supporting the role of coupling delays in the clock, we predict and experimentally confirm an instability resulting from decreased coupling delay time. Synchronization of cells by Delta-Notch coupling regulates the collective period of the segmentation clock. Our identification of the first segmentation clock period mutants is a critical step toward a molecular understanding of temporal control in this system. We propose that collective control of period via delayed coupling may be a general feature of biological clocks.

description: Forward di-jet production in d+Au collisions at RHIC provides sensitivity to Bjorken-x between 0.001 and 0.02 for the nuclear gluon density . The STAR experiment at RHIC has continuous azimuthal coverage with electromagnetic calorimeters for pseudo-rapidity from -1 to 4. We have measured forward+mid-rapidity $π^{0}-π^{0}$ and $π^{0}-h$ azimuthal correlations and forward+forward rapidity $π^{0}-π^{0}$ azimuthal correlations. Both analyses use the Forward Meson Spectrometer (FMS) triggered data in RHIC 2008 run p+p and d+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV. The end-cap electromagnetic calorimeter (EEMC) at STAR covers pseudo-rapidity from 1.07 to 2. This provides us sensitivity to the nuclear gluon density at intermediate x values. Preliminary results on the $π^{0}-π^{0}$ and $π^{0}$ + jet-like azimuthal correlations with both the FMS and the EEMC will be discussed.

description: The recent discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates has drawn considerable attention; however, a consensus on the fundamental building blocks and common ingredients necessary to understand and describe their ground states and emergent properties is lacking. A series of experimental and theoretical studies have suggested that an effective two-band Hubbard model with Ni 3$d_{x^2-y^2}$ and rare-earth ($R$) 5$d$ character may describe the low-energy physics. Here, we study the ground state properties of this two-band model on four-leg cylinders using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) technique to better grasp whether such a simple model can embody the essential physics. A key difference compared to single-band Hubbard materials is that the system is self-doped: even at overall half-filling, the $R$-band acts as an electron reservoir, hole-doping the Ni-layer and fundamentally altering the physics expected from an undoped antiferromagnet. On the four-leg cylinder, the ground state is consistent with a Luttinger liquid, with anti-phase modulations of the charge density in the Ni- and $R$-layers having corresponding wavevectors that lock together. Light hole doping away from 1/2 filling releases the locking between the Ni and the $R$ charge modulations, as the electron density in the $R$-band decreases and eventually becomes exhausted at a hole doping concentration that depends sensitively on the effective splitting between the Ni and the $R$ orbitals. The ground state of the doped system is consistent with a Luther-Emery liquid, possessing quasi-long-range superconducting correlations in the Ni layer, similar to the single-band Hubbard model. Our results are consistent with experimental observations and may help to reveal the microscopic mechanism for pairing and other emergent properties.

Understanding web application test assertion failures
Creators: name: Sequeira, Sheldon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Developers often write test cases that assert the behaviour of a web application from an end-user’s perspective. However, when such test cases fail, it is difficult to relate the assertion failure to the faulty line of code. The challenges mainly stem from the existing disconnect between front-end test cases that assert the DOM and the application’s underlying JavaScript code. We propose an automated technique to help developers localize the fault related to a test failure. Through a combination of selective code instrumentation and dynamic backward slicing, our technique bridges the gap between test cases and program code. Through an interactive visualization, our approach, implemented in a tool called Camellia, allows developers to easily understand the dynamic behaviour of their application and its relation to the test cases. The results of our controlled experiment show that Camellia improves the fault localization accuracy of developers by a factor of two. Moreover, the implemented approach incurs a low performance overhead.

description: We introduce certain generalisations of the characters of the classical Lie groups, extending the recently defined factorial characters of Foley and King. In this extension, the factorial powers are replaced with an arbitrary sequence of polynomials, as in Sergeev-Veselov's generalised Schur functions and Okada's generalised Schur P- and Q-functions. We also offer a similar generalisation for the rational Schur functions. We derive Littlewood-type identities for our generalisations. These identities allow us to give new (unflagged) Jacobi-Trudi identities for the Foley-King factorial characters and for rational versions of the factorial Schur functions. We also propose an extension of the original Macdonald's ninth variation of Schur functions to the case of symplectic and orthogonal characters, which helps us prove Nägelsbach-Kostka identities.

description: We investigate the infinite volume limit of the variational description of Euclidean quantum fields introduced in a previous work. Focussing on two dimensional theories for simplicity, we prove in details how to use the variational approach to obtain tightness of $φ^4_2$ without cutoffs and a corresponding large deviation principle for any infinite volume limit. Any infinite volume measure is described via a forward--backwards stochastic differential equation in weak form (wFBSDE). Similar considerations apply to more general $P (φ)_2$ theories. We consider also the $\exp (βφ)_2$ model for $β^2 < 8 π$ (the so called full $L^1$ regime) and prove uniqueness of the infinite volume limit and a variational characterization of the unique infinite volume measure. The corresponding characterization for $P (φ)_2$ theories is lacking due to the difficulty of studying the stability of the wFBSDE against local perturbations.

description: A parallelized hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) methodology is devised to quantify the microstructural evolution of polycrystalline material under elastic loading. The approach combines a time explicit material point method (MPM) for the mechanical stresses with a calibrated Monte Carlo (cMC) model for grain boundary kinetics. The computed elastic stress generates an additional driving force for grain boundary migration. The paradigm is developed, tested, and subsequently used to quantify the effect of elastic stress on the evolution of texture in nickel polycrystals. As expected, elastic loading favors grains which appear softer with respect to the loading direction. The rate of texture evolution is also quantified, and an internal variable rate equation is constructed which predicts the time evolution of the distribution of orientations.

description: We present the results of a large scale simulation, reproducing the behavior of a data center for the build-up and maintenance of a complete catalog of space debris in the upper part of the low Earth orbits region (LEO). The purpose is to determine the performances of a network of advanced optical sensors, through the use of the newest orbit determination algorithms developed by the Department of Mathematics of Pisa (DM). Such a network has been proposed to ESA in the Space Situational Awareness (SSA) framework by Carlo Gavazzi Space SpA (CGS), Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), DM, and Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione (ISTI-CNR). The conclusion is that it is possible to use a network of optical sensors to build up a catalog containing more than 98% of the objects with perigee height between 1100 and 2000 km, which would be observable by a reference radar system selected as comparison. It is also possible to maintain such a catalog within the accuracy requirements motivated by collision avoidance, and to detect catastrophic fragmentation events. However, such results depend upon specific assumptions on the sensor and on the software technologies.
Insight into thin film SURMOFs

Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2019

description: The development of MOF-based technologies has been a focus point of research over the last 20 years resulting in ca. 70,000 published structures studied for a wide range of applications including gas storage and separation, drug delivery, chemical sensing, among others. Their research continues to be fueled by the continuous improvement of their thermal and mechanical features powering a bright future ahead. 

The synthesis of these materials has been one of the most investigated areas. When referring to the formation of homogeneous MOF thin films, the liquid phase epitaxial (LPE) layer-by-layer (LBL) formation has proven the acquisition of highly crystalline and oriented surface-mounted metal-organic frameworks (SURMOFs) suitable for integration as functional materials in multiple devices. In previous studies, ZIF-8 SURMOF synthesis via dipping at room temperature was systematically studied for alkane/alkene gas separation. Permeances and separation factors obtained agreed with other published synthesis techniques, but a great window of opportunity towards commercial feasibility still exists. Currently, this systematic approach is now being complemented with the incorporation of nanoparticles (e.g., Au, Pt) in various SURMOF systems to determine their potential in the field of catalysis of gaseous systems.

Additionally, a comprehensive understanding of the properties and transport mechanisms of these SURMOF films is required in order to further enhance their performance. In previous works, the Maxwell-Stefan surface diffusion model was employed to gather a general understanding of the ZIF-8 SURMOF and other porous systems. To deepen our theoretical knowledge of these systems, various SURMOF films are being further characterized, including the acquisition of proper adsorption data at higher temperatures and pressures, surface diffusivities, and the consideration of micro-defects; this data is of high importance for further simulation studies. By doing so, the successful design, development, and application of novel SURMOF materials might be facilitated.

Slow shocks and conduction fronts from Petschek reconnection of skewed magnetic fields: two-fluid effects

name: Bradshaw, S. J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In models of fast magnetic reconnection, flux transfer occurs within a small portion of a current sheet triggering stored magnetic energy to be thermalized by shocks. When the initial current sheet separates magnetic fields which are not perfectly anti-parallel, i.e. they are skewed, magnetic energy is first converted to bulk kinetic energy and then thermalized in slow magnetosonic shocks. We show that the latter resemble parallel shocks or hydrodynamic shocks for all skew angles except those very near the anti-parallel limit. As for parallel shocks, the structures of reconnection-driven slow shocks are best studied using two-fluid equations in which ions and electrons have independent temperature. Time-dependent solutions of these equations can be used to predict and understand the shocks from reconnection of skewed magnetic fields. The results differ from those found using a single-fluid model such as magnetohydrodynamics. In the two-fluid model electrons are heated indirectly and thus carry a heat flux always well below the free-streaming limit. The viscous stress of the ions is, however, typically near the fluid-treatable limit. We find that for a wide range of skew angles and small plasma beta an electron conduction front extends ahead of the slow shock but remains within the outflow jet. In such cases conduction will play a more limited role in driving chromospheric evaporation than has been predicted based on single-fluid, anti-parallel models.

description: This thesis discusses design considerations for mid-rise steel frame structures using wood-based flooring systems. Gravity load design aspects including composite behaviour, structural weight, floor vibration and lateral bracing are considered for joisted and panel floors in steel building structures. The influence of joisted wood-based flooring systems on the seismic response of concentrically braced steel frame buildings is assessed based on linear dynamic analyses and the strength and stiffness demands are compared with capacities provided by the Canadian Wood Design Manual.

description: The thermodynamic stabilities of various phases of the nitrides of the platinum metal elements are systematically studied using density functional theory. It is shown that for the nitrides of Rh, Pd, Ir and Pt two new crystal structures, in which the metal ions occupy simple tetragonal lattice sites, have lower formation enthalpies at ambient conditions than any previously proposed structures. The region of stability with respect to those structures extends to 17 GPa for PtN2. Calculations show that the PtN2 simple tetragonal structures at this pressure are thermodynamically stable also with respect to phase separation. The fact that the local density and generalized gradient approximations predict different values of the absolute formation enthalpies as well different relative stabilities between simple tetragonal and the pyrite or marcasite structures are further discussed.

description: We introduce in this paper an elliptic dynamical reflection algebra describing an SOS model with reflecting end. Using factorizing Drinfel'd twist, we compute the partition function of this model with domain wall boundary conditions. We show that it can be represented in the form of a single Izergin determinant.

description: We consider a model for two types (bath and tracers) of 2D quantum particles in a perpendicular magnetic field. Interactions are short range and inter-species, and we assume that the bath particles are fermions, all lying in the lowest Landau level of the magnetic field. Heuristic arguments then indicate that, if the tracers are strongly coupled to the bath, they effectively change their quantum statistics, from bosonic to fermionic or vice-versa. We rigorously compute the energy of a natural trial state, indeed exhibiting this phenomenon of statistics transmutation. The proof involves estimates for the characteristic polynomial of the Ginibre ensemble of random matrices.

Dynamical light control in longitudinally modulated segmented waveguide arrays

description: We address light propagation in segmented waveguide arrays where the refractive index is longitudinally modulated with an out-of-phase modulation in adjacent waveguides, so that the coupling strength varies along propagation direction. Thus in resonant segments coupling may be inhibited hence light remains localized, while in detuned segments coupling results in complex switching scenarios that may be controlled by stacking several resonant and nonresonant segments. By tuning the modulation frequency and lengths of waveguide segments one may control the distribution of light among the output guides, including loca-lizing all light in the selected output channel.

Almost Sure Uniform Convergence of Stochastic Processes in the Dual of a Nuclear Space

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics
subject: 60B11, 60G17, 60G20

description: Let $Φ$ be a nuclear space and let $Φ'$ denote its strong dual. In this paper we introduce sufficient conditions for the almost surely uniform convergence on bounded intervals of time for a sequence of $Φ'$-valued processes having continuous (respectively càdlàg) paths. The main result is formulated first in the general setting of cylindrical processes but later specialized to other situations of interest. In particular, we establish conditions for the convergence to occur in a Hilbert space continuously embedded in $Φ'$. Furthermore, in the context of the dual of an ultrabornological nuclear space (like spaces of smooth functions and distributions) we also include applications to the convergence of a series of independent càdlàg process and to the convergence of solutions to linear evolution equations driven by Lévy noise.

In our presentation, we want to share with the community our goals and lessons learned in moving to a Next Generation Repository.
Image formation in synthetic aperture radio telescopes

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)

description: Next generation radio telescopes will be much larger, more sensitive, have much larger observation bandwidth and will be capable of pointing multiple beams simultaneously. Obtaining the sensitivity, resolution and dynamic range supported by the receivers requires the development of new signal processing techniques for array and atmospheric calibration as well as new imaging techniques that are both more accurate and computationally efficient since data volumes will be much larger. This paper provides a tutorial overview of existing image formation techniques and outlines some of the future directions needed for information extraction from future radio telescopes. We describe the imaging process from measurement equation until deconvolution, both as a Fourier inversion problem and as an array processing estimation problem. The latter formulation enables the development of more advanced techniques based on state of the art array processing. We demonstrate the techniques on simulated and measured radio telescope data.
