description: The covariant quantization of QED and QCD requires the introduction of subsidiary gauge-fixing and ghost fields and it is crucial to understand the role of these in the energy-momentum tensor, and in the momentum and angular momentum operators. These issues were studied in \cite{Leader:2011za}, and key results from this study were utilized in the major review of angular momentum in \cite{Leader:2013jra}. Damski \cite{Damski:2021feu} has rightly criticized as incorrect the derivation of certain equations in \cite{Leader:2011za}. We show, however, that the key results of \cite{Leader:2011za} which are utilized in \cite{Leader:2013jra} are unaffected by Damski's criticism.

description: Open clusters older than $\sim4$ Gyr are rare in the Galaxy. Affected by a series of mass-decreasing processes, the stellar content of most open clusters dissolves into the field in a time-scale shorter than $\sim1$ Gyr. In this sense, improving the statistics of old objects may provide constraints for a better understanding of the dynamical dissolution of open clusters. Isochrone fits indicate that FSR 1716 is more probably an old ($\sim7$ Gyr) and absorbed ($\aV=6.3\pm0.2$) open cluster, located $\approx0.6$ kpc inside the Solar circle in a contaminated central field. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of a low-mass, loose globular cluster. Czernik 23 is shown to be an almost absorption-free open cluster, $\sim5$ Gyr old, located about 2.5 kpc towards the anti-centre. In both cases, Solar and sub-Solar ($[Fe/H]\sim-0.5$) metallicity isochrones represent equally well the stellar sequences. Both star clusters have a low mass content ($\la200 \ms$) presently stored in stars. Their relatively small core and cluster radii are comparable to those of other open clusters of similar age. These structural parameters are probably consequence of the several Gyrs of mass loss due to stellar evolution, tidal interactions with the disk (and bulge in the case of FSR 1716), and possibly giant molecular clouds. Czernik 23, and especially FSR 1716, are rare examples of extreme dynamical survivors. The identification of both as such represents an increase of $\approx10%$ to the known population of open clusters older than $\sim4$ Gyr in the Galaxy.

description: Problem gambling and crime have significant societal and personal costs. Roughly one half of those with gambling problems commit crime. The connection between gambling and crime may exist because gambling losses create pressure to commit income-generating crimes. Alternatively, problem gambling and crime may co-occur as a pattern of behaviours with common underlying risk factors that reinforce one another. Problem gambling and crime disproportionately affect adolescents and people experiencing incarceration. This paper provides specific recommendations for policy makers to consider to reduce gambling related crime. One central recommendation is that Policy Makers allocate funding to programs that target vulnerable groups and that programs consider the known risks factors underlying problem gambling and crime.

description: Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) -- the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the center of our galaxy -- has been observed in most of the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio to X-rays. Diffuse gamma-ray emission has been observed around Sgr A* and a gamma-ray point source has been detected coinciding with the SMBH's position, although there is no definitive association between the two. In this work, we have used ~11 years of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) observations of the point source 4FGL J1745.6-2859 and performed a detailed imaging analysis across four energy bands. Our goal is to elucidate the nature of the gamma-ray emission at the Galactic Center (GC) and whether it is associated with the SMBH. We find that the centroid of the emission approaches Sgr A*'s location as the energy increases. Assuming that the gamma-ray point source is located at the GC, we estimate a luminosity of 2.61E36 erg/s in the 100 MeV to 500 GeV energy range. This is consistent with Sgr A*'s bolometric luminosity. Based on the point source properties, we ruled out several potential candidates for its nature and favor a cosmic ray origin either from protons, electrons or both, accelerated by -- or in the vicinity of -- the SMBH. Our results indicate that the point source at the GC is indeed the gamma-ray counterpart of Sgr A* in the GeV range.

TMUML: A Singular TM Model with UML Use Cases and Classes

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In the systems and software modeling field, a conceptual model involves modeling with concepts to support development and design. An example of a conceptual model is a description developed using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). UML uses a model multiplicity formulation approach, wherein a number of models are used to represent alternative views. By contrast, a model singularity approach uses only a single integrated model. Each of these styles of modeling has its strengths and weaknesses. This paper introduces a partial solution to the issue of multiplicity vs. singularity in modeling by adopting UML use cases and class models into the conceptual thinging machine (TM) model. To apply use cases, we adopt the observation that a use-case diagram is a description that shows the internal structure of the part of the system represented by the use case in addition to being useful to people outside of the system. Additionally, the UML class diagram is recast in TM representation. Accordingly, we develop a TMUML model that embraces the TM specification of the UML class diagram and the internal structure extracted from the UML use case. TMUML modeling introduces some of the advantages that have made UML a popular modeling language to TM modeling. At the same time, this approach supplies UML with partial model singularity. The paper details experimentation with TMUML using examples from the literature. Our results indicate that mixing UML with other models could be a viable approach.

description: The discovery of the hydrodynamic electron liquid (HEL) in graphene [D. Bandurin \emph{et al.}, Science {\bf 351}, 1055 (2016) and J. Crossno \emph{et al.}, Science {\bf 351}, 1058 (2016)] has marked the birth of the solid-state HEL which can be probed near room temperature in a table-top setup. Here we examine the terahertz (THz) magneto-optical (MO) properties of a graphene HEL. Considering the case where the magnetic length $l_B=\sqrt{\hbar/eB}$ is comparable to the mean-free path $l_{ee}$ for electron-electron interaction in graphene, the MO conductivities are obtained by taking a momentum balance equation approach on the basis of the Boltzmann equation. We find that when $l_B\sim l_{ee}$, the viscous effect in a HEL can weaken significantly the THz MO effects such as cyclotron resonance and Faraday rotation. The upper hybrid and cyclotron resonance magnetoplasmon modes $ω_\pm$ are also obtained through the RPA dielectric function. The magnetoplasmons of graphene HEL at large wave-vector regime are affected by the viscous effect, and results in red-shifts of the magnetoplasmon frequencies. We predict that the viscosity in graphene HEL can affect strongly the magneto-optical and magnetoplasmonic properties, which can be verified experimentally.
The relation between black hole masses and Lorentz factors of the jet components in blazars

description: We explore the relation between black hole mass ($M_{\rm BH}$) and the motion of the jet components for a sample of blazars. The Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) 2cm Survey and its continuation: Monitoring of Jets in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with VLBA Experiments (MOJAVE) have observed 278 radio-loud AGNs, of which 146 blazars have reliable measurements on their apparent velocities of jet components. We calculate the minimal Lorentz factors for these sources from their measured apparent velocities, and their black hole masses are estimated with their broad-line widths. A significant intrinsic correlation is found between black hole masses and the minimal Lorentz factors of the jet components, which the Eddington ratio is only weakly correlated with the minimal Lorentz factor, which may imply that the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) mechanism may dominate over the Blandford-Payne (BP) mechanism for the jet acceleration (at least) in blazars.

A study of sedimentary bedwaves
Creators: name: Lee Diaz, Song
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Sediment bedload transport and bedform formation are considered for both steady and oscillatory flow of water. Some new theoretical results are quoted and experimental results are reported which tend to substantiate the theory. For steady flow, criteria based on Froude number and mean velocity are developed for predicting the types and dimensions of bedforms which occur under various flow conditions and different sediment properties. The flow depth is found to be an important variable linking Froude number with the mean velocity. For oscillatory flow, general agreement is found with the work of Mogridge and Kamphuis and the earlier work of Bagnold. The free surface wave parameters and the water flow depth are confirmed to be dominant factors in determining ripple characteristics. The experimental results give some confirmation of a new kinematic model proposed to explain sediment ripple behavior.

description: The four directly imaged planets orbiting the star HR 8799 are an ideal laboratory to probe atmospheric physics and formation models. We present more than a decade's worth of Keck/OSIRIS observations of these planets, which represent the most detailed look at their atmospheres to-date by its resolution and signal to noise ratio. We present the first direct detection of HR 8799 d, the second-closest known planet to the star, at moderate spectral resolution with Keck/OSIRIS (K-band; R~4,000). Additionally, we uniformly analyze new and archival OSIRIS data (H and K band) of HR 8799 b, c, and d. First, we show detections of water (H2O) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the three planets and discuss the ambiguous case of methane (CH4) in the atmosphere of HR 8799b. Then, we report radial velocity (RV) measurements for each of the three planets. The RV measurement of HR 8799 d is consistent with predictions made assuming coplanarity and orbital stability of the HR 8799 planetary system. Finally, we perform a uniform atmospheric analysis on the OSIRIS data, published photometric points, and low resolution spectra. We do not infer any significant deviation from to the stellar value of the carbon to oxygen ratio (C/O) of the three planets, which therefore does not yet yield definitive information about the location or method of formation. However, constraining the C/O ratio for all the HR 8799 planets is a milestone for any multiplanet system, and particularly important for large, widely separated gas giants with uncertain formation processes.

description: Photovoltaic (PV) modules have been employed in visible light communication (VLC) for simultaneous energy harvesting and data reception. A PV-based receiver features easy optical alignment and self-powered operation. It is commonly assumed that PV modules in VLC have a linear optical-electrical response, which is generally true under high illumination levels. This paper will illustrate the exacerbated PV's nonlinear distortion when under typical indoor illumination. The nonlinearity of a PV module for different numbers of PV cells is also characterized. We investigated the transmission performance of a 1-Mbit/s PAM4 signal under different illuminance. Experimental results show that the bit-error rate (BER) first decreases and then increases with the increasing illuminance. Thus, an optimal illuminance to minimize BER exists. In addition, we demonstrated two distortion mitigation methods, namely localized distortion compensation lighting and post-distortion compensation. BER reduction from 3.2x10-1 to 2.6x10-3 and 2.8x10-2 to 1.5x10-2 are achieved with the two respective schemes.

Year: 2014
Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: The dissertation consists of four papers that aim at providing new contributions in the field of macroeconomics, monetary policy and financial stability. The first paper proposes a new Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model with credit frictions and a banking sector to study the pro-cyclicality of credit and the role of different prudential regulatory frameworks in affecting business cycle fluctuations and in restoring macroeconomic and financial stability. The second paper develops a simple DSGE model capable of evaluating the effects of large purchases of treasuries by central banks. This theoretical framework is employed to evaluate the impact on yields and the macroeconomy of large purchases of medium- and long-term government bonds recently implemented in the US and UK. The third paper studies the effects of ECB communications about unconventional monetary policy operations on the perceived sovereign risk of Italy over the last five years. The empirical results are derived from both an event-study analysis and a GARCH model, which uses Italian long-term bond futures to disentangle expected from unexpected policy actions. The fourth paper proposes a DSGE model with an endogenous term structure of interest rates, which is able to replicate the stylized facts regarding the yield curve and the term premium in the US over the period 1987:3-2011:3, without compromising its ability to match macro dynamics.

description: The London penetration depth $λ$ is the basic length scale for electromagnetic behavior in a superconductor. Precise measurements of $λ$ as a function of temperature, field, and impurity scattering have been instrumental in revealing the nature of the order parameter and pairing interactions in a variety of superconductors discovered over the past decades. Here we recount our development of the tunnel-diode resonator technique to measure $λ$ as a function of temperature and field in small single crystal samples. We discuss the principles and applications of this technique to study unconventional superconductivity in the copper oxides and other materials such as iron-based superconductors. The technique has now been employed by several groups worldwide as a precision measurement tool for the exploration of new superconductors.

Effectiveness of bio-scouring over conventional scouring on cotton knitted fabric

Subjects: bio-scouring, enzyme, caustic scouring, textile, BOD, COD, knit fabric, project work

description: The introduction of enzymes in the treatment of textiles has made a significant contribution to the textile sector. The traditional pretreatment scouring process has many drawbacks, conciliated by handling with enzymes. Since most factories still use traditional pretreatment to obviate natural impurities from cotton knit fabric, they experience a lot of water, electricity, stream, and time consumption, and more significant fiber loss. Also, the conventional pretreatment method leads to significant amount of wastewater that has a detrimental impact on the environment. If we use enzyme rather than chemicals used in conventional processing, the fiber damage will be less, cost will come down, the processes will be eco-friendly, and so do the water released by then and most importantly the effect will be better in this case. In other words, we will get a better quality product with eco-friendly process if we use enzyme instead of conventional chemicals. Hence, the main focus of the paper is to investigate whether there is the usability and replace ability of the enzyme scouring process over the caustic soda scouring process on cotton knit fabric or not. In this research, cotton knit fabrics was scoured by SCOURZYME (bio-scouring enzyme) and caustic soda. Physicochemical parameters of the wastewater derived from caustic scouring and enzymatic scouring had been examined. Some selected physical characteristics including absorbency test, percentage of weight loss, whiteness index, moisture regain, moisture content, bursting strength, color fastness to wash, rubbing and perspiration, were also analyzed for scoured and dyed materials. As a result, bio-scouring method improved the absorption of the material without any substantial loss of strength and helped to properly dye and finish the cloth. Substantial lower consumption of electricity, water, streams, chemicals, and time and, consequently, cost, environmental pressures were reduced in the enzyme method. Physicochemical parameters test results indicated more significant ecological improvement than the traditional approach for using enzymes. What is more, the physical characteristics also demonstrated better outcomes in the use of enzymatic scouring method except some cases. Therefore, we cannot ensure it as an only substitute because it does not give desired result in some cases. Although both have some restriction in the textile sector, they can be properly utilized by evaluating their respective merits and drawbacks. This work provides a set of experimental results, discussion and comparison between the two methods.

description: Problem gambling is a serious public health concern. It affects people who experience poverty, homelessness, and mental health and substance use issues more than others. Problem gambling is similar to substance abuse. It is when a person has difficulty controlling their gambling and experiences negative consequences as a result. It can lead to severe debt, personal distress, and other serious health concerns. People experiencing problem gambling may not seek services due to denial, feelings of shame, long wait times for services, and treatment costs they cannot afford.
People can do a lot themselves to manage their gambling. This is referred to as self management; this is when someone uses certain strategies to manage gambling without the help of a professional such as a doctor or social worker. An example of a self management strategy for problem gambling would be to set a limit on the amount of time and money spent at a casino before prior to gambling (e.g., I will only stay 2 hours at the casino and not spend more than $100). The scoping review was completed to identify and describe the knowledge on self management strategies for problem gambling from published literature. It also identifies the gaps in knowledge that exist.
Kat2a and Kat2b prevent double-stranded RNA accumulation and interferon signaling to maintain intestinal stem cell renewal
Creators: name: Nguyen, Mai-Uyen Thi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Histone acetyltransferases KAT2A and KAT2B are paralogs highly expressed in the intestinal epithelium, but their functions are not well understood. In this study, double knockout of murine Kat2 genes in the intestinal epithelium was lethal, resulting in loss of stem cells and robust activation of interferon signaling. Use of pharmacological agents and sterile organoid cultures indicated a cell-intrinsic double-stranded RNA trigger for interferon signaling. Acetyl-proteomics and dsRIP-seq were employed to interrogate the mechanism behind this response, which identified mitochondria-encoded double-stranded RNA as the source of intrinsic interferon signaling. Kat2a and Kat2b therefore play an essential role in regulating mitochondrial functions as well as maintaining intestinal health.

description: Strongly correlated electrons in layered perovskite structures have been the birthplace of high-temperature superconductivity, spin liquid, and quantum criticality. Specifically, the cuprate materials with layered structures made of corner sharing square planar CuO$_4$ units have been intensely studied due to their Mott insulating grounds state which leads to high-temperature superconductivity upon doping. Identifying new compounds with similar lattice and electronic structures has become a challenge in solid state chemistry. Here, we report the hydrothermal crystal growth of a new copper tellurite sulfate Cu$_3$(TeO$_4$)(SO$_4$)$\cdot$H$_2$O, a promising alternative to layered perovskites. The orthorhombic phase (space group $Pnma$) is made of corrugated layers of corner-sharing CuO$_4$ square-planar units that are edge-shared with TeO$_4$ units. The layers are linked by slabs of corner-sharing CuO$_4$ and SO$_4$. Using both the bond valence sum analysis and magnetization data, we find purely Cu$^{2+}$ ions within the layers, but a mixed valence of Cu$^{2+}$/Cu${^+}$ between the layers. Cu$_3$(TeO$_4$)(SO$_4$)$\cdot$H$_2$O undergoes an antiferromagnetic transition at $T_N$=67 K marked by a peak in the magnetic susceptibility. Upon further cooling, a spin-canting transition occurs at $T^{\star}$=12 K evidenced by a kink in the heat capacity. The spin-canting transition is explained based on a $J_1$-$J_2$ model of magnetic interactions, which is consistent with the slightly different in-plane super-exchange paths. We present Cu$_3$(TeO$_4$)(SO$_4$)$\cdot$H$_2$O as a promising platform for the future doping and strain experiments that could tune the Mott insulating ground state into superconducting or spin liquid states.

Successive Injection of Opposite Magnetic Helicity: Evidence for Active Regions without Coronal Mass Ejections

description: Magnetic helicity (MH) is a measure of twist and shear of magnetic field. MH is injected in the active region (AR) corona through photospheric footpoint motions causing twisted and sheared magnetic fields. From the conservation property of the helicity, it was conjectured that an already twisted flux rope (FR) with continuous injection of MH inevitably erupts to remove the excess accumulated coronal helicity. Therefore, understanding the nature and evolution of the photospheric helicity flux transfer is crucial to reveal the intensity of the flare/CME activity. Using the time-sequence vector-magnetograms of \textit{Helioseismic Magnetic Imager}, we study the evolution of MH injection in emerging AR 12257. The photospheric flux motions in this AR inject positive helicity in the first 2.5 days followed by negative helicity later. This successive injection of opposite helicity is consistent with the sign of mean force-free twist parameter ($α_{av}$), orientation of magnetic-tongues. Also, the extrapolated AR magnetic structure exhibits transformation of global-shear without a twisted FR in the core of the AR. No CMEs are launched from this AR but C-class flaring activity is observed predominantly in the second half of the evolution period. The ARs with sign reversal of the MH injection are not favorable to twisted FR formation with excess coronal helicity and therefore are important to identify CME-less ARs readily. A possible scenario in these ARs is that when one sign of helicity flux is replaced by opposite sign, the magnetic field of different connectivity with opposite shear undergoes reconnection at different scales giving rise to both intermittent flares and enhanced coronal heating.

Phase diagram of Holstein-Kondo lattice model at half-filling

description: We study the Kondo lattice model which is modified by the Holstein term, involving both the Kondo exchange coupling and the electron-phonon coupling constants, characterized by $J$ and $g$, respectively. The model is solved by employing the dynamical mean-field theory in conjunction with exact diagonalization technique. A zero temperature phase diagram of symmetry unbroken states at half filling is mapped out which exhibits an interplay between the two interactions and accounts for both spin and charge fluctuations. When the Kondo exchange coupling is dominant the system is in Kondo insulator state. Increasing $g$ for small values of $J$ leads to a Kondo insulator-metal transition. Upon further enhancement of $g$ a transition to the bipolaronic insulating phase takes place. Also a small region with non-Fermi liquid behavior is found near the Kondo insulator-metal transition.
A rearing model for salmonids

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The rearing of salmon fry for release to the ocean stands out as the most complex, expensive, and critical feature of hatchery production. This complex process not only involves decisions concerning space, food, and water flow requirements, but also involves choosing optimum release times and sizes and management strategies. For a rearing program to be consistently successful, decision making must be based on some sort of rational understanding of how these requirements are influenced by the rearing environment. At present, this understanding is often based on intuition and site specific experience. A formalized model developed from fundamental knowledge and pooled experience can augment the present knowledge base. This thesis presents a framework within which the rearing process can be understood more clearly. Where reliable data or basic physiological understanding exists, simple deterministic models have been developed. These models quantify the relationships between the most important rearing requirements and the web of environmental factors which affect them. The key environmental factors have been identified as water temperature, ration level, time, and the degree of hatchery disturbance. Under normal hatchery conditions these factors have been used to predict fish growth or weight at a particular time by means of a generalized growth model. This information has been combined with environmental factors to determine oxygen consumption and metabolite production rates. The metabolites considered are ammonia-N, un-ionized ammonia-N, carbon dioxide, and suspended solids. Translating these consumption and production rates into predictions about pond environmental conditions is an important element of the model because it is this information which can be used directly by decision makers (design and operations personnel). This has been achieved by developing a simplified picture of flow through a rearing pond; ponds have been assumed to approximate either ideal "plug flow" or ideal "mixed flow" type reactors. Using this approximation plus background water quality information, a model of the distribution and concentration of metabolites and oxygen within the rearing pond has been developed. The combined equations can be used to predict fish weight, pond density and oxygen and metabolite concentrations over the rearing period. Conversely, if constraints are placed on these factors, space, flow, and ration requirements can be similarly predicted. Realistic, constraints for salmon culture have been discussed briefly. These reflect some of the most recent information on the effects of time and size at release and pond environmental conditions on smolt viability. It is emphasized that the primary function of the "Rearing Model" is to provide a framework of predictive relationships; it is not designed to set guidelines for rearing.

description: The interaction of ultraintense laser pulses with solids is largely affected by the plasma gradient at the vacuum-solid interface, which modifies the absorption and ultimately, controls the energy distribution function of heated electrons. A micrometer scale-length plasma has been predicted to yield a significant enhancement of the energy and weight of the fast electron population and to play a major role in laser-driven proton acceleration with thin foils. We report on recent experimental results on proton acceleration from laser interaction with foil targets at ultra-relativistic intensities. We show a three-fold increase of the proton cut-off energy when a micrometer scale-length pre-plasma is introduced by irradiation with a low energy femtosecond pre-pulse. Our realistic numerical simulations agree with the observed gain of the proton cut-off energy and confirm the role of stochastic heating of fast electrons in the enhancement of the accelerating sheath field.

Small basin hydrology in the discontinuous permafrost zone
Creators: name: Vincent, David Guy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The response of small northern basins to similar rainfall events can vary greatly due to dramatic changes with time in basin parameters. An attempt is made to understand and quantify these changes and suggestions to incorporate systematic variation in model parameters are made in order to produce a more reliable 'northern' model. Of particular interest are the permafrost regime, the vegetative cover, the evaporation process and the attenuation of the hydrographs making antecedent conditions important in predicting peak flows. Further ideas are presented to produce a deterministic model which incorporates both random and systematic changes in parameters in order to yield more reliable estimates of flow statistics for use in design. The background study was sponsored by Canadian Arctic Gas Study Limited during their bid to construct a pipeline in the Mackenzie Valley.

description: Global observations of ocean swell, from satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar data, are used to estimate the dissipation of swell energy for a number of storms. Swells can be very persistent with energy e-folding scales exceeding 20,000 km. For increasing swell steepness this scale shrinks systematically, down to 2800 km for the steepest observed swells, revealing a significant loss of swell energy. This value corresponds to a normalized energy decay in time ß = 4.2 x 10-6 s -1 . Many processes may be responsible for this dissipation. Because no particular trend is found with wind magnitude and direction, the increase of dissipation rate in dissipation with swell steepness is interpreted as a laminar to turbulent transition of the boundary layer, with a threshold Reynolds number of the order of 100,000. These observations of swell evolution open the way for more accurate wave forecasting models, and provides a constraint on swell-induced air-sea fluxes of momentum and energy.

description: We present a detailed study of the dynamics associated with the ghost sector of quenched QCD in the Landau gauge, where the relevant dynamical equations are supplemented with key inputs originating from large-volume lattice simulations. In particular, we solve the coupled system of Schwinger-Dyson equations that governs the evolution of the ghost dressing function and the ghost-gluon vertex, using as input for the gluon propagator lattice data that have been cured from volume and discretization artifacts. In addition, we explore the soft gluon limit of the same system, employing recent lattice data for the three-gluon vertex that enters in one of the diagrams defining the Schwinger-Dyson equation of the ghost-gluon vertex. The results obtained from the numerical treatment of these equations are in excellent agreement with lattice data for the ghost dressing function, once the latter have undergone the appropriate scale-setting and artifact elimination refinements. Moreover, the coincidence observed between the ghost-gluon vertex in general kinematics and in the soft gluon limit reveals an outstanding consistency of physical concepts and computational schemes.
