Predicting daily stream temperature in British Columbia, Canada, using reanalysis air temperature in statistical models and the hybrid air2stream model
Creators: name: Callahan, Lilianne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: As air temperature and precipitation patterns change globally, so too will stream thermal regimes which affect water quality and habitat suitability for aquatic life. Models are used to understand past and future stream temperatures and the primary processes that control them. Since water temperature is highly correlated with air temperature, this research investigates the use of reanalysis air temperature data from ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5) and North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) as input in three different types of statistical models of stream temperature. ERA5 overall had the best performance, so it was then used as input in the hybrid air2stream model to test how well the model simulates stream temperatures for 23 streams in British Columbia, Canada, during the extreme conditions of a heat wave and a drought. The air2stream model had an average RMSE of 0.96 °C during the calibration period and 1.06 °C during the validation period. During the heat wave from June 25 to July 2, 2021, the average RMSE was 1.39 °C, and during the autumn drought from September 1 to October 31, 2022, the average RMSE was 1.08 °C. The model results indicate general accuracy with higher errors during anomalous conditions.

description: We present a detailed study of the high-current transport properties of graphene devices patterned in a four-point configuration. The current tends to saturate as the voltage across graphene is increased but never reaches the complete saturation as in metallic nanotubes. Measurements are compared to a model based on the Boltzmann equation, which includes electron scattering processes due to charged and neutral impurities, and graphene optical-phonons. The saturation is incomplete because of the competition between disorder and optical-phonon scattering.

description: We determine the average mass profile of galaxy clusters at two different redshifts and compare its evolution with cosmological model predictions. We use two samples of galaxy clusters spanning similar (evolutionary corrected) mass ranges at different redshifts. The sample of low-redshift (z ~ 0.0-0.1) clusters is extracted from the ESO Nearby Abell Cluster Survey (ENACS) catalog. The sample of high-redshift (z ~ 0.4-0.8) clusters is mostly made of clusters from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS). We determine the average mass-profiles for these two cluster samples by solving the Jeans equation for hydrostatic equilibrium, using galaxies as tracers. By using two cluster galaxy populations, characterized by the presence and, respectively, absence of emission-lines in their spectra ('ELGs' and 'nELGs' hereafter), we are able to partially break the mass-profile orbital-anisotropy degeneracy. We find that the mass-profiles of both the nearby and the distant clusters are reasonably well fitted by a Navarro, Frenk and White (NFW) model. The best-fit values of the NFW concentration parameter are as predicted by cosmological numerical simulations; cluster mass-density profiles become more concentrated with time. The evolution of the number-density profile of nELGs proceeds in the opposite sense, becoming less concentrated with time. In our analysis we also recover the orbital anisotropy of nELGs and ELGs . We find that in low-z clusters nELGs follow almost isotropic orbits and ELGs have more radially-elongated orbits. In high-z clusters both nELGs and ELGs follow radially-elongated orbits. We discuss these results in terms of the predicted secular mass growth of galaxy clusters and the transformation of ELGs into nELGs.

description: The flux of the diffuse gamma-ray background radiation (GBR) does not confirm that the excess in the flux of cosmic ray electrons between 300-800 GeV, which was measured locally with the ATIC instrument in balloon flights over Antartica, is universal as expected from dark matter annihilation. Neither does the increase with energy of the fraction of positrons in the cosmic ray flux of electrons in the 10-100 GeV range that was measured by PAMELA imply a dark matter origin: It is consistent with that expected from the sum of the two major sources of Galactic cosmic rays, non relativistic spherical ejecta and highly relativistic jets from supernova explosions.

description: Extensive research has been conducted on the transition to environmentally friendly fuels in developed countries worldwide. However, there has been a significant lack of attention given to this crucial topic in developing countries. The study aims to bridge this gap by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the existing obstacles and prospects associated with transitioning to hydrogen fuel, with a specific focus on Vietnam. To achieve this objective, a rigorous SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis approach is employed, drawing upon an extensive literature review and the insights of selective experts in the field. Additionally, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is utilized to effectively prioritize the identified factors from the SWOT analysis through eigenvalue calculation. As a result, the weaknesses are the highest first-class priority factors, with “Dedicated infrastructure for the transition to hydrogen fuel” and “Technological capacity for converting to hydrogen fuel” taking the next priorities in the second class. The outcomes of this research serve as a valuable resource for Vietnam and other developing countries, guiding policy-making and practical applications in the pursuit of transitioning to hydrogen fuel. Furthermore, this paper establishes a robust framework that can guide future studies in this specific area of research.

State Court Protection of Reproductive Rights: The Past, the Perils, and the Promise
Creators: name: Johnsen, Dawn
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2015

description: In the United States constitutional system, the protection of individual rights depends upon the federal and state judiciaries. The role of the federal courts in protecting reproductive rights provides a particularly well known, if controversial, example. Roe v. Wade is among the most widely recognized of all judicial decisions.’ The U.S. Senate, for example, routinely questions Supreme Court nominees about their views on Roe, as well as Roe’s principal precedent, Griswold v. Connecticut.2 Although the Supreme Court’s invalidation in Roe of Texas’s criminal abortion ban continues to be debated, Griswold’s invalidation of a Connecticut law that made it illegal for even married couples to use contraception stands as a pillar of modern constitutionalism.

description: The intent of the H.264 AVC project was to create a standard capable of providing good video quality at substantially lower bit rates than previous standards without increasing the complexity of design so much that it would be impractical or excessively expensive to implement. An additional goal was to provide enough flexibility to allow the standard to be applied to a wide variety of applications. To achieve better coding efficiency, H.264 AVC uses several techniques such as inter mode and intra mode prediction with variable size motion compensation, which adopts Rate Distortion Optimization (RDO). This increases the computational complexity of the encoder especially for devices with lower processing capabilities such as mobile and other handheld devices. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to reduce the number of mode and sub mode evaluations in inter mode prediction. Experimental results show that this fast intra mode selection algorithm can lessen about 75 percent encoding time with little loss of bit rate and visual quality.

description: We introduce a new notion of twisted actions of inverse semigroups and show that they correspond bijectively to certain regular Fell bundles over inverse semigroups, yielding in this way a structure classification of such bundles. These include as special cases all the stable Fell bundles. Our definition of twisted actions properly generalizes a previous one introduced by Sieben and corresponds to Busby-Smith twisted actions in the group case. As an application we describe twisted etale groupoid C*-algebras in terms of crossed products by twisted actions of inverse semigroups and show that Sieben's twisted actions essentially correspond to twisted etale groupoids with topologically trivial twists.

description: This work is devoted to the exact statistical mechanics treatment of simple inhomogeneous few-body systems. The system of two Hard Spheres (HS) confined in a hard spherical pore is systematically analyzed in terms of its dimensionality >. The canonical partition function, and the one- and two-body distribution functions are analytically evaluated and a scheme of iterative construction of the system properties is presented. We analyse in detail both the effect of high confinement, when particles become caged, and the low density limit. Other confinement situations are also studied analytically and several relations between, the two HS in a spherical pore, two sticked HS in a spherical pore, and two HS on a spherical surface partition functions are traced. These relations make meaningful the limiting caging and low density behavior. Turning to the system of two HS in a spherical pore, we also analytically evaluate the pressure tensor. The thermodynamic properties of the system are discussed. To accomplish this statement we purposely focus in the overall characteristics of the inhomogeneous fluid system, instead of concentrate in the peculiarities of a few body system. Hence, we analyse the equation of state, the pressure at the wall, and the fluid-substrate surface tension. The consequences of new results about the spherically confined system of two HS in D dimension on the confined many HS system are investigated. New constant coefficients involved in the low density limit properties of the open and closed system of many HS in a spherical pore are obtained for arbitrary. The complementary system of many HS which surrounds a hard sphere (a cavity inside of a bulk HS system) is also discussed.

Litigating Abortion Access Cases in the Post-Windsor World
Creators: name: Anderson, Bebe J.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2015

description: Exploring how to apply lessons learned from the successful challenge to the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), not only to ongoing marriage equality work but also reproductive rights work, is a productive and important endeavor, given the similarities between the two. An overarching similarity is that the two movements are grounded in many of the same core values: valuing human dignity, personal decision-making, and fairness. As the plurality opinion by Justices O’Connor, Kennedy, and Souter in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey states: Our cases recognize “the right of the individual, married or single, to be free from unwarranted governmental intrusion into matters so fundamen- tally affecting a person as the decision whether to bear or beget a child.” Our precedents “have respected the private realm of family life which the state cannot enter.” These matters, involving the most intimate and per- sonal choices a person may make in a lifetime, choices central to personal dignity and autonomy, are central to the liberty protected by the Four- teenth Amendment. At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life. Beliefs about these matters could not define the attributes of personhood were they formed under compulsion of the State.

Secondary emission behind the radio outflows in gamma-ray binaries?
Creators: name: Bosch-Ramon, V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Several binary systems consisting of a massive star and a compact object have been detected above 100 GeV in the Galaxy. In most of these sources, gamma-rays show a modulation associated to the orbital motion, which means that the emitter should not be too far from the bright primary star. This implies that gamma-ray absorption will be non negligible, and large amounts of secondary electron-positron pairs will be created in the stellar surroundings. In this work, we show that the radio emission from these pairs should be accounted for when interpreting the radio spectrum, variability, and morphology found in gamma-ray binaries. Relevant features of the secondary radio emission are the relatively hard spectrum, the orbital motion of the radio peak center, and the extended radio structure following a spiral-like trajectory. The impact of the stellar wind free-free absorption should not be neglected.

description: In this work, we consider a variant of the classical Longest Common Subsequence problem called Doubly-Constrained Longest Common Subsequence (DC-LCS). Given two strings s1 and s2 over an alphabet A, a set C_s of strings, and a function Co from A to N, the DC-LCS problem consists in finding the longest subsequence s of s1 and s2 such that s is a supersequence of all the strings in Cs and such that the number of occurrences in s of each symbol a in A is upper bounded by Co(a). The DC-LCS problem provides a clear mathematical formulation of a sequence comparison problem in Computational Biology and generalizes two other constrained variants of the LCS problem: the Constrained LCS and the Repetition-Free LCS. We present two results for the DC-LCS problem. First, we illustrate a fixed-parameter algorithm where the parameter is the length of the solution. Secondly, we prove a parameterized hardness result for the Constrained LCS problem when the parameter is the number of the constraint strings and the size of the alphabet A. This hardness result also implies the parameterized hardness of the DC-LCS problem (with the same parameters) and its NP-hardness when the size of the alphabet is constant.
Brief of 172 Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and 40 U.S. Senators as Amici Curiae in Support of Respondent Edith Schlain Windsor, Urging Affirmance on the Merits

description: Amici are 172 Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and 40 U.S. Senators.1 Some of us voted against the Defense of Marriage Act, Pub. L. No. 104-199, 110 Stat. 2419 (Sept. 21, 1996); others voted for it; still others were not yet in Congress when it was enacted. But we all agree that Section 3 of DOMA-which divides married couples into two classes and denies all federal responsibilities and rights to one of them-lacks a rational connection to any legitimate federal purpose, and is therefore un- constitutional. Members of Congress are bound by oath to sup- port and defend the Constitution. Thus, this Court’s interpretation of the Fifth Amendment’s equal-pro- tection guarantee directly affects how Congress drafts, considers, and enacts laws. We urge the Court to clarify that legislative classifications based on sexual orientation do not enjoy the presumption of validity appropriately afforded to most legislative acts. That guidance will help ensure that legislative classifications receive sufficient reflection. We also want to explain why, in this rare case, the Court should find an Act of Congress unconstitutional. Although we support legislative standing to de- fend legislation in appropriate cases, we disagree with the arguments made by the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group in DOMA’s defense. Having repeat- edly urged Congress (including the Speaker of the House) to revisit DOMA legislatively, we believe it important to dispel the notion that BLAG speaks for the entire Congress on the merits. It does not. In fact, many Members believe that Section 3 of DOMA is a violation of the Fifth Amendment’s equal- protection guarantee and should be struck down.

description: In 2006 June, the obscured low luminosity active galactic nucleus in the nearby Seyfert 1.9 galaxy NGC 4258 was observed with Suzaku for ~ 100 ks. Utilizing the XIS and the HXD, the nucleus emission was detected over 2 to 40 keV range, with an unabsorbed 2--10 keV luminosity of 8 x 10 40 erg / s, and varied by a factor of ~ 2 during the observation. Its 2--40 keV spectrum is reproduced by a single power law with photon index of ~ 2.0, absorbed by an equivalent hydrogen column of ~ 1.0 x 10 23 cm2. The spectrum within 4' of the nucleus required also a softer thin-thermal emission, as well as an intermediate hardness component attributable to integrated point sources. A weak neutral Fe-Kalpha florescence line was detected at an equivalent width of ~ 40 eV. The cold reflection component was not required by the data, with the reflector solid angle Omega seen from the nucleus constrained as Omega / 2 pi < 0.3 assuming a general case of 60 deg inclination. The results suggest that the cold reflecting material around the nucleus is localized along our line of sight, rather than forming a thick torus.

We are a healthcare provider, so we have hundreds of health centers across the country. One in five women in the United States will visit a Planned Parenthood at some point in her life.’ So our advocacy and the way we move forward, whether through litigation or public policy and legislation, first and foremost focuses on our patients and how we can serve them best.

Electromagnetic self-forces and generalized Killing fields

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Building upon previous results in scalar field theory, a formalism is developed that uses generalized Killing fields to understand the behavior of extended charges interacting with their own electromagnetic fields. New notions of effective linear and angular momenta are identified, and their evolution equations are derived exactly in arbitrary (but fixed) curved spacetimes. A slightly modified form of the Detweiler-Whiting axiom that a charge's motion should only be influenced by the so-called "regular" component of its self-field is shown to follow very easily. It is exact in some interesting cases, and approximate in most others. Explicit equations describing the center-of-mass motion, spin angular momentum, and changes in mass of a small charge are also derived in a particular limit. The chosen approximations -- although standard -- incorporate dipole and spin forces that do not appear in the traditional Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac or Dewitt-Brehme equations. They have, however, been previously identified in the test body limit.

Measurement-based quantum machine learning
Creators: name: Mantilla Calderón, Luis Carlos
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: A quantum neural network (QNN) is an object that extends the notion of a classical neural network to quantum models for quantum data. We can create a QNN by parametrizing a quantum process and then using it to model unknown relations between quantum states. In this thesis, we explore how to use measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC) for quantum machine learning (QML) problems and propose a universal QNN in this framework. For numerics, we built MentPy, a Python package for simulating parametrized MBQC circuits. We study essential QML concepts analyzed in the gate-based literature, such as barren plateaus and expressivity, from the MBQC perspective. Using the proposed QNN, we solve several tasks, including learning a universal set of gates, a POVM with post-processing, a quantum instrument, and the classification of classical data. We also discuss how to train an ansatz under the hardware constraints imposed by photonic Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) qubits. Finally, we present a method to design ansatze that implement a specific set of gates. We use this construction to find the ground states of the transverse field cluster Hamiltonian using a variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) and calculate their string order parameter.

description: The Drude-Lorentz model for the motion of electrons in a solid is a classical model in statistical mechanics, where electrons are represented as point particles bouncing on a fixed system of obstacles (the atoms in the solid). Under some appropriate scaling assumption -- known as the Boltzmann-Grad scaling by analogy with the kinetic theory of rarefied gases -- this system can be described in some limit by a linear Boltzmann equation, assuming that the configuration of obstacles is random [G. Gallavotti, [Phys. Rev. (2) vol. 185 (1969), 308]). The case of a periodic configuration of obstacles (like atoms in a crystal) leads to a completely different limiting dynamics. These lecture notes review several results on this problem obtained in the past decade as joint work with J. Bourgain, E. Caglioti and B. Wennberg.

Resilience assessment of machine learning applications under hardware faults
Creators: name: Agarwal, Udit Kumar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Machine learning (ML) applications have been ubiquitously deployed across critical domains such as autonomous vehicles (AVs), and medical diagnosis. Vision-based ML models like ResNet are used for object classification and lane detection, while Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are used in cars to enable robust and flexible voice commands in AVs. The use of ML models in safety-critical scenarios requires reliable ML models. In the first part of this thesis, we primarily focus on understanding the resilience of ML models against transient hardware faults in CPUs. Towards this end, we present an LLVM IR-level FI tool, LLTFI, which we use to evaluate the effect of transient faults on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) and LLMs. We found that LLTFI is more precise than TensorFI, an application-level FI tool proposed by prior work. Unlike LLTFI, TensorFI underestimates the resilience of DNNs by implicitly assuming that every injected fault corrupts the outputs of the intermediate layers of the DNN. Using LLTFI, we also evaluated the efficacy of Selective Instruction Duplication to make DNNs more resilient against transient faults. While in the case of DNNs, transient faults cause the model to misclassify or mispredict the object, for LLMs, we found transient faults to cause the model to produce semantically and syntactically incorrect outputs. In the second part of this thesis, we evaluate the effect of permanent stuck-at faults in systolic arrays on DNNs. We present a Register Transfer (RTL)-Level FI tool, called SystoliFI, to inject permanent stuck-at faults in the systolic array, which we use to understand the manifestation of stuck-at faults in systolic arrays in the intermediate layers of the DNNs. We found that the manifestation of the stuck-at faults varies significantly with the type of operation (Convolution vs. Matrix multiplication), the operation size, and the systolic array size.

description: Spin relaxation due to atom-atom collisions is measured for magnetically trapped erbium and thulium atoms at a temperature near 500 mK. The rate constants for Er-Er and Tm-Tm collisions are 3.0 times 10^-10 cm^3 s^-1 and 1.1 times 10^-10 cm^3 s^-1, respectively, 2-3 orders of magnitude larger than those observed for highly magnetic S-state atoms. This is strong evidence for an additional, dominant, spin relaxation mechanism, electrostatic anisotropy, in collisions between these "submerged-shell" L > 0 atoms. These large spin relaxation rates imply that evaporative cooling of these atoms in a magnetic trap will be highly inefficient.

Deconstructing Rape by Fraud
Creators: name: McJunkin, Ben A.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2014

description: In this Article, I critically examine the role of normative masculinity in determining the shape and scope of the criminal law doctrine of rape by fraud, which purports to criminalize sexual intercourse procured through certain material deceptions. In application, the rape by fraud doctrine is exceedingly narrow—deceptively induced sexual intercourse is rarely criminalized as rape, despite deception’s profound impact on the voluntariness of sexual consent. As the Article explains, the rape by fraud doctrine is thus in tension with the prevailing view that rape law principally protects a thick norm of individual sexual autonomy. Despite this tension, the narrowness of the rape by fraud doctrine is frequently defended, often by those who are most committed to individual autonomy elsewhere in rape law. Through an analysis of court decisions and academic commentary, I demonstrate that those defenses largely rest on appeals to a romanticized ideal of the practice of seduction. I illuminate the link between seduction and a prevailing ideology of normative masculinity that allocates social status for men on the basis of demonstrations of sexual conquest. That ideology perpetuates narratives in which women, through their capacity to grant or withhold consent, hold power over men when pursued as objects for sex. Indeed, within this account, the transgression of women’s power is what makes sexual conquest worthy of masculine status. Deceptions used to procure sex are criminalized only in exceptional cases where the narratives of interpersonal power break down. Thus, the rape by fraud doctrine can be seen as codifying existing limits on masculine status transfer. Ultimately, I argue that understanding the rape by fraud doctrine in terms of normative masculinity exposes an important continuity between contemporary rape law and rape law historically, in which rape was a crime against men’s property interest in women.

description: In the study of Planck-scale ("quantum-gravity induced") violations of Lorentz symmetry, an important role was played by the deformed-electrodynamics model introduced by Myers and Pospelov. Its reliance on conventional effective quantum field theory, and its description of symmetry-violation effects simply in terms of a four-vector with nonzero component only in the time-direction, rendered it an ideal target for experimentalists and a natural concept-testing ground for many theorists. At this point however the experimental limits on the single Myers-Pospelov parameter, after improving steadily over these past few years, are "super-Planckian", {\it i.e.} they take the model out of actual interest from a conventional quantum-gravity perspective. In light of this we here argue that it may be appropriate to move on to the next level of complexity, still with vectorial symmetry violation but adopting a generic four-vector. We also offer a preliminary characterization of the phenomenology of this more general framework, sufficient to expose a rather significant increase in complexity with respect to the original Myers-Pospelov setup. Most of these novel features are linked to the presence of spatial anisotropy, which is particularly pronounced when the symmetry-breaking vector is space-like, and they are such that they reduce the bound-setting power of certain types of observations in astrophysics.

Il miracolo nell’ebraismo tra fede e sospetto. Un approccio ermeneutico
Creators: name: Giuliani, Massimo
Publisher: name: Rosmini Studies
Year: 2023

description: The essay is a short survey on the concept of miracle in the light of the history of Jewish religious thought. First the focus is on the ‘neutralization of the miracle’ in the Talmud by those rabbis who tried to emphasize the role of reason and logical arguments in order to decide about halakhic issues (the example is taken from Bavli, Bava Meitzi’à 59b). A second step is the medieval, minimalistic approach as expressed by Maimonides in his halakhic code, where miracle is seen as a sign recognized by faith but also by a strong acceptance of nature as regulated by eternal and perfect laws, posed by a perfect God not in need to change them: miracles are, therefore, only contingent exception preordered by God since the beginning of creation. None the less, the issue of miracle was debated in the rabbinical culture for century, until the outburst of modernity and more. The final step is Franz Rosenzweig’s existentialist rehabilitation of the concept of miracle after a devaluation by modern Jewish (and Protestant) theologians in the shadow of the Enlightenment.
