description: We present the Lyman-$\alpha$ Continuum Analysis Network (LyCAN), a Convolutional Neural Network that predicts the unabsorbed quasar continuum within the rest-frame wavelength range of $1040-1600\,\angstrom$ based on only the red side of the Lyman-$\alpha$ emission line ($1216-1600\,\angstrom$). We developed synthetic spectra based on a Gaussian Mixture Model representation of Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) coefficients. These coefficients were derived from high-resolution, low-redshift ($z<0.2$) Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph quasar spectra. We supplemented this COS-based synthetic sample with an equal number of DESI Year 5 mock spectra. LyCAN performs extremely well on testing sets, achieving a median error in the forest region of 1.5\% on the DESI mock sample, 2.0\% on the COS-based synthetic sample, and 4.1\% on the original COS spectra. LyCAN outperforms Principal Component Analysis (PCA)- and NMF-based prediction methods using the same training set by a factor of two or more. We predict the intrinsic continua of 83,635 DESI Year 1 spectra in the redshift range of $2.1 \leq z \leq 4.2$ and perform an absolute measurement of the evolution of the effective optical depth. This is the largest sample employed to measure the optical depth evolution to date. We fit a power-law of the form $\tau(z) = \tau_0 (1+z)^\gamma$ to our measurements and find $\tau_0 = (2.46 \pm 0.14)\times10^{-3}$ and $\gamma = 3.62 \pm 0.04$. Our results show particular agreement with high-resolution, ground-based observations around $z = 2$, indicating that LyCAN is able to predict the quasar continuum in the forest region with only spectral information outside the forest.

description: We consider a linear operator equation with noise in the operator and the right-hand side. As a concept, the ill-posedness of the problem is composed of the ill-posedness with respect to the operator and the ill-posedness with respect to the right-hand side, and in both the cases the ill-posedness can be characterized by an embedding operator. Starting at a numerical procedure for exact data, in the case of noisy data a numerical procedure and error estimates are given. As an example, a Volterra integral equation of the first kind is investigated and finally applied to a point source reconstruction problem for the wave equation.
Distribution Learning for Video Segmentation Applications
Creators: Zhao, Chenqiu
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

With the increase in the number of deep learning networks, many excellent methods have been proposed for video segmentation tasks. However, most of the these methods are for learning pattern information. Not as much work has been done in the area of distribution information, which is also useful for video segmentation. Therefore, this work focuses on learning statistical distributions via neural networks for video segmentation tasks including background subtraction, vessel segmentation and crack detection. In this thesis, we discuss four proposed methods in order to identify an effective way to learn statistical distributions. First, we propose a dynamic deep pixel distribution learning (D-DPDL) method for background subtraction. In D-DPDL, a random permutation of temporal pixels feature is used to force the network to learn the statistical distributions. Compared with previous background subtraction methods based on deep learning networks, the D-DPDL model only requires limited ground-truth frames for training, and it is effective even when training videos and testing videos are captured from different scenes. Then, we improve the D-DPDL method and apply it to vessel segmentation and crack detection, and we found that a wide rather than deep network works better. Finally, we proposed an arithmetic distribution neural network (ADNNet), which is based on arithmetic distribution layers, for learning distributions. The arithmetic distribution layers is the first work to propose network layers based on arithmetic distribution operations, which perform even better than convolutional layers in distribution classification.

description: We consider a system of ordinary differential equations consisting of a singularly perturbed scalar differential equation of second order and a scalar differential equation of first or second order and study a Neuman-Cauchy or a Neuman-Dirichlet problem. We assume that the degenerate equation has two intersecting solutions such that the standard theory for systems of Tichonov's type cannot be applied. We introduce the notation of a composed stable solution. By means of the technique of ordered lower and upper solutions we prove the existence of a solution of our problems near the composed stable solution for sufficiently small ε and determine its asymptotic behavior in ε.

Re-inventing universal gravity law from a second Kepler's principle of planetary motion
Creators: name: Vasiliauskas, Agnius
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Kepler's second law -covering constant ellipse sector area within a unit time -is pretty much well known fact. However as it is stated, it is likely a geometrical principle, rather than a physical one. Also it is hard to understand root causes why covered area per unit time is constant. In this paper I try to map Kepler's second principle into a more physical one, which explains better the root causes of phenomena and gives more insight into gravity law.

Coding Schemes for a Class of Receiver Message Side Information in AWGN Broadcast Channels

description: This paper considers the three-receiver AWGN broadcast channel where the receivers (i) have private-message requests and (ii) know some of the messages requested by other receivers as side information. For this setup, all possible side information configurations have been recently classified into eight groups and the capacity of the channel has been established for six groups (Asadi et al., ISIT 2014). We propose inner and outer bounds for the two remaining groups, groups 4 and 7. A distinguishing feature of these two groups is that the weakest receiver knows the requested message of the strongest receiver as side information while the in-between receiver does not. For group 4, the inner and outer bounds coincide at certain regions. For group 7, the inner and outer bounds coincide, thereby establishing the capacity, for four members out of all eight members of the group; for the remaining four members, the proposed bounds reduce the gap between the best known inner and outer bounds.

description: Constructive sufficient conditions for regular oscillations in systems with stochastic resonance are given. For bistable systems, they rely on the fact that the probability of transition of a point from one well to the other with subsequent stay there during the half-period of the periodic forcing is close to 1. Using these conditions, domains of parameters corresponding to the regular oscillations are indicated. The regular oscillations are considered in bistable and monostable systems with additive and multiplicative noise. Special attention is paid to numerical methods. Algorithms based on numerical integration of stochastic differential equations turn out to be most natural both for simulation of sample trajectories and for solution of related boundary value problems of parabolic type. Results of numerical experiments are presented.

description: In this paper, we analyze different preconditionings designed to enhance robustness of pure-pixel search algorithms, which are used for blind hyperspectral unmixing and which are equivalent to near-separable nonnegative matrix factorization algorithms. Our analysis focuses on the successive projection algorithm (SPA), a simple, efficient and provably robust algorithm in the pure-pixel algorithm class. Recently, a provably robust preconditioning was proposed by Gillis and Vavasis (arXiv:1310.2273) which requires the resolution of a semidefinite program (SDP) to find a data points-enclosing minimum volume ellipsoid. Since solving the SDP in high precisions can be time consuming, we generalize the robustness analysis to approximate solutions of the SDP, that is, solutions whose objective function values are some multiplicative factors away from the optimal value. It is shown that a high accuracy solution is not crucial for robustness, which paves the way for faster preconditionings (e.g., based on first-order optimization methods). This first contribution also allows us to provide a robustness analysis for two other preconditionings. The first one is pre-whitening, which can be interpreted as an optimal solution of the same SDP with additional constraints. We analyze robustness of pre-whitening which allows us to characterize situations in which it performs competitively with the SDP-based preconditioning. The second one is based on SPA itself and can be interpreted as an optimal solution of a relaxation of the SDP. It is extremely fast while competing with the SDP-based preconditioning on several synthetic data sets.

Examining the "Promise" of Intersectional Policy Analysis to Drive Social Change
Creators: Sumaru, Ashima
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

This thesis examines the adoption of intersectional policy analysis within governments and governmental bodies in Canada, focusing on the years 2019-2020, to understand what led to the adoption of intersectional policy analysis frameworks and what these frameworks accomplish through governments and governmental bodies.  I interviewed intersectional policy practitioners from all levels of government and governmental bodies in Canada and triangulated this data with political transcripts from provincial and federal parliamentary debates and key government documents about intersectional policy analysis.  A critical decolonial feminist framework is employed to analyze the data and to align with intersectionality’s promise as a “resistant knowledge project” (see Collins, 2019, pp. 87-120).  Key insights that emerge from this study are that intersectionality is disassociated from its history as it is adopted by governments, limiting its potential for meaningful public engagement through a policy process, and the Gender-Based Analysis Plus methodology, the primary intersectional policy analysis framework employed by public bodies in Canada, functions as a technology of performative accountability rather than a means for radical justice or imagining decolonial futures.

description: We investigate the Gibbs-measures of ferromagnetically coupled continuous spins in double-well potentials subjected to a random field (our specific example being the Φ4 theory), showing ferromagnetic ordering in d ≥ 3 dimensions for weak disorder and large energy barriers. We map the random continuous spin distributions to distributions for an Ising-spin system by means of a single-site coarse-graining method described by local transition kernels. We derive a contour-representation for them with notably positive contour activities and prove their Gibbsianness. This representation is shown to allow for application of the discrete-spin renormalization group developed by Bricmont/Kupiainen implying the result in d ≥ 3.

description: We consider direct methods for the numerical solution of linear systems with unsymmetric sparse matrices. Different strategies for the determination of the pivots are studied. For solving several linear systems with the same pattern structure we generate a pseudo code, that can be interpreted repeatedly to compute the solutions of these systems. The pseudo code can be advantageously adapted to vector and parallel computers. For that we have to find out the instructions of the pseudo code which are independent of each other. Based on this information, one can determine vector instructions for the pseudo code operations (vectorization) or spread the operations among different processors (parallelization). The methods are successfully used on vector and parallel computers for the circuit simulation of VLSI circuits as well as for the dynamic process simulation of complex chemical production plants.
Infant feeding in women with eating disorders – insights from healthcare professionals
Creators: Stavila, Natalia
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Eating disorders (EDs) are severe mental health conditions with significant impact on physical health. EDs affect predominantly women, including during the reproductive phases of their lives. Although pregnancy and childbirth can have protective and restorative functions for some women with EDs, the relationship between pregnancy/childbirth and ED is bidirectional, as post-partum relapse is not a seldom phenomenon. In fact, the post-partum period may be a very destabilizing event for a woman with a history of an ED, which not only may negatively affect her own physical and mental health, but also her overall adjustment to motherhood and various aspects of caretaking for her child, including infant feeding.

Our research project explores the infant feeding choices in women with ED from a healthcare provider’s point of view, with a particular focus on breastfeeding in the context of the current public recommendations for optimal infant feeding which currently promote exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months and extended breastfeeding for 2 years and beyond. Specifically, we asked whether breastfeeding may carry abuse potential for excessive and/or accelerated post-partum weight loss in mothers with past or present EDs.  Using interpretive description, we explored 7 healthcare provider’s (4 dietitians, 1 psychiatrist, 1 nurse, 1 psychologist) experiences with infant feeding choices of women with EDs. Interview transcripts were examined by three observers and extracted themes included women’s and healthcare providers’ personal beliefs around breastfeeding, specific ED symptoms affecting coping with pregnancy, postpartum, and infant care (i.e., body image and cognitive distortions, need for control, infant attachment, changes to the identity as a woman), denial of abusive breastfeeding practices, and support for breastfeeding. Our final analysis suggests that women with ED may engage in problematic breastfeeding practices for its caloric expenditure, however the presence and extent of these practices is difficult to establish due to denial and concealment of purging behaviors by women with ED. Healthcare providers may benefit from specific education on recognizing signs of excessive breastfeeding practices in women with (suspected) EDs, and on delivering ED-informed advice with a balanced approach to breastfeeding that is beneficial to the infant, but also attending to the patient’s values and needs. Consequently, new mothers with EDs may benefit from tailored recommendations on infant feeding choices, including support for healthy extended breastfeeding in conjunction with supports to safely lose their postpartum weight. This thesis concludes with five recommendations for healthcare providers derived from our results, aimed to promote sensitive and tailored care for mothers with suspected ED.

description: Owing to the richness of symmetry and well-established knowledge on the bulk superfluidity, the superfluid $^3$He has offered a prototypical system to study intertwining of topology and symmetry. This article reviews recent progress in understanding the topological superfluidity of $^3$He in a multifaceted manner, including symmetry consideration, the Jackiw-Rebbi's index theorem, and the quasiclassical theory. Special focus is placed on the symmetry protected topological superfuidity of the $^3$He-B confined in a slab geometry. The $^3$He-B under a magnetic field is separated to two different sub-phases: The symmetry protected topological phase and non-topological phase. The former phase is characterized by the existence of symmetry protected Majorana fermions. The topological phase transition between them is triggered off by the spontaneous breaking of a hidden discrete symmetry. The critical field is quantitatively determined from the microscopic calculation that takes account of magnetic dipole interaction of $^3$He nucleus. It is also demonstrated that odd-frequency even-parity Cooper pair amplitudes are emergent in low-lying quasiparticles. The key ingredients, symmetry protected Majorana fermions and odd-frequency pairing, bring an important consequence that the coupling of the surface states to an applied field is prohibited by the hidden discrete symmetry, while the topological phase transition with the spontaneous symmetry breaking is accompanied by anomalous enhancement and anisotropic quantum criticality of surface spin susceptibility. We also illustrate common topological features between topological crystalline superconductors and symmetry protected topological superfluids, taking UPt$_3$ and Rashba superconductors as examples.

Path Exposure Reliability Problem in Wireless Sensor Networks with Energy Replenishment
Creators: Basabaa, Abdulsalam S S
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Advances in sensor devices and harvesting technologies have enabled the design of small, inexpensive, and low-power energy harvesting wireless sensor networks (EH-WSNs) that can be used to collect data and provide reliable monitoring in many applications such as surveillance applications (e.g., intrusion detection). However, in such EH-WSNs, fluctuations in nodes stored energy levels arise as a common aspect and present a challenge in achieving prolonged network uptimes.

The thesis considers EH-WSNs where fluctuations in a node’s stored energy affect primarily its transmission range, and studies a class of intrusion detection problems where an unauthorized traversal aims at crossing a geographical

area guarded by an EH-WSN. The main objective is to develop methodologies to quantify the likelihood that an EH-WSN whose nodes are subject to energy fluctuations can provide simultaneous detection and reporting of unauthorized

traversal along a given path to a sink node.

The thesis pursues this objective in the context of investigating a path exposure reliability problem that calls for computing the probability that the collaborative work of all nodes in a given EH-WSN succeeds in detecting and reporting an intrusion along a given path. We show that the problem is computationally intractable, and the thesis focuses on developing iteratively and non-iteratively improvable algorithms that utilize special network structures,

called pathsets and cutsets, for driving lower and upper bounds on the exact solutions. We conclude with some possible future research problems.

description: In the present paper we study the geodesic structure of the Janis-Newman-Winicour(JNW) space-time which contains a strong curvature naked singularity. This metric is an extension of the Schwarzschild geometry when a massless scalar field is included. We find that the strength parameter $μ$ of the scalar field effects on the geodesic structure of the JNW space-time. By solving the geodesic equation and analyzing the behavior of effective potential, we investigate all geodesic types of the test particle and the photon in the JNW space-time. At the same time we simulate all the geodesic orbits corresponding to the energy levels of the effective potential in the JNW space-time.

(M, MAP)/(PH, PH)/1 queue with Nonpremptive Priority, Working Interruption and Protection

description: In this paper we consider a (M,MAP)/(PH,PH)/1 queue with nonpremptive priority, working interruption and protection. Two types of priority classes of customers where type I customers arrive according to a Poisson process and type II customers arrive according to Markovian Arrival Process are considered. Service time of both type I and type II customers follow mutually independent phase type distributions. The number of type I customers in the system is restricted to a maximum of L. Also type I customers are assumed to have a non-premptive priority over type II customers. Customer services are subject to interruption by a self induced mechanism. The interruptions occur according to Poisson process. Instead of stopping service completely, the service continues at slower rate during interruption. Also we assume that an interruption occuring while customer is already under interruption will not affect the customer.The server continues to serve at this lower rate until interruption is fixed. The duration of interruption is assumed to be exponentially distributed. A protection mechanism to diminish the effect of interruptions on type I customers service is arranged.The protection for the service of type I customers is provided at the epoch of realization of the clock which starts ticking up the moment a type I customer is taken for service. Type II customers are not provided protection against interruption during their service. Also we assume that type I customers get service at a faster rate starting from the epoch of providing service protection. We analyse the distribution of service time duration of both type I and type II customers and the distribution of a p-cycle. Also we provide LSTs of busy cycle, busy period of type I customers generated during the service time of a type II customer and LSTs of waiting time distributions of type I and type II customers. Also we compute the expected number of interruptions during a type I and a type II service. We perform numerical computations to evaluate important system characteristics and also optimal system cost using a cost function .
The problem of large deviations. Comparison of the classical and alternative representations, p.𝟐
Creators: name: M. V. Maslikhin
Publisher: name: Reliability: Theory & Applications
Year: 2018
Subjects: classical and alternative versions of representations of large deviations
the deviation function and its "analogue".

description: This work is a continuation of the previous article (see [1]). Therefore, I note only that here are considered representations of large deviations for 5 other distributions of the summands of the mentioned normalized sums. In addition, if [1] explains what views are compared and how to get them, here the introduction clarifies the main results of analysis, i.e. whether it is difficult to get them and how they are practically useful.

On another approach to the analysis of the known problem of optimal stopping, p.1
Creators: name: S. V. Zhulenev
Publisher: name: Reliability: Theory & Applications
Year: 2018
Subjects: the known optimal stopping problem
the relationship between its objective function and the optimal stopping time

description: In the well-known optimal stopping problem, it was always clear that there must be a connection between the type of the objective function or, in other words, the type of surface in three-dimensional space and the specific optimum stopping time. But it was unclear how this relationship discover. In this work and the following two, a simple idea is realized to establish this connection. It comes down to replacing of the initial and very large stop set consisting of Markov moments with respect to the flow of Sigma algebras generated by the random walk under consideration to a simplified stop set consisting of integer random variables. Moreover, in this part 1, the domain of the new objective function definition on the integer lattice of the plane is specified, the condition is given, when the optimal moment is 0, and also mention the known results from the combinatorics used in other parts. The following two parts explain what this relationship is for small horizons n.
