description: We study the Higgs potential in No-Scale F-SU(5), a model built on the tripodal foundations of the Flipped SU(5) x U(1)_X Grand Unified Theory, extra F-theory derived TeV scale vector-like particle multiplets, and the high scale boundary conditions of No-Scale Supergravity. V_min, the minimum of the potential following radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, is a function at fixed Z-Boson mass of the universal gaugino boundary mass M_{1/2} and tanβ, the ratio of Higgs vacuum expectation values. The No-Scale nullification of the bilinear Higgs soft term B_mu at the boundary reduces V_min(M_{1/2}) to a one dimensional dependency, which may be secondarily minimized. This "Super No-Scale" condition dynamically fixes tan beta and M_{1/2} at the local minimum minimorum of V_min. Fantastically, the walls of this theoretically established secondary potential coalesce in descent to a striking concurrency with the previously phenomenologically favored "golden point" and "golden strip".

Projection studies of Higgs boson pair production to the 4 b-jet final state at the HL-LHC using the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: Sam, Colm
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Projection studies for the non-resonant Higgs boson pair production in the 4 b-jet final state with the ATLAS detector at the HL-LHC are presented. They are based on extrapolated results of the latest Run 2 analysis which targeted both the gluon-gluon fusion and vector-boson fusion Higgs boson pair production modes and exploited 126 fb⁻¹ of √s = 13 TeV data. The projection assumes an integrated luminosity of 3000 fb⁻¹ for HL-LHC proton-proton collisions at √s = 14 TeV. Various systematic uncertainty scenarios are explored. With (without) systematic uncertainties, the discovery significance of the Standard Model Higgs boson pair production is found to be 1.0σ (1.8σ), while the 95% confidence-level upper limit on the HH signal strength is set at 2.0 (1.1). The allowed 68% confidence-interval for the HHH coupling modifier κ𝛌 is found to be [−0.5, 6.1] ([0.1, 2.6]), while the allowed 68% confidence-interval for the HHVV coupling modifier κ2V is [0.7, 1.4] ([0.7.1.3]).

description: LiFeAs is unique among the broad family of FeAs-based superconductors, because it is superconducting with a rather large $T_c\simeq 18$ K under ambient conditions although it is a stoichiometric compound. We studied the electrical transport on a high-quality single crystal. The resistivity shows quadratic temperature dependence at low temperature giving evidence for strong electron-electron scattering and a tendency towards saturation around room temperature. The Hall constant is negative and changes with temperature, what most probably arises from a van Hove singularity close to the Fermi energy in one of the hole-like bands. Using band structure calculations based on angular resolved photoemission spectra we are able to reproduce all the basic features of both the resistivity as well as the Hall effect data.

description: Bitter gourd, Momordica charantia L., is an important commercial cucurbitaceous vegetable of enormous medicinal value in Asia because of its secondary metabolite content. We report here the characterization and evaluation of open-pollinated (OP) edible South Asian and Southeast Asian types of bitter gourd breeding lines, developed at the World Vegetable Center, for horticultural traits (11 OP) and secondary metabolites (10 OP) and their comparisons with commercial OP and F1 hybrid cultivars. Marketable yields of South Asian and Southeast Asian type breeding lines were comparable to the OP ‘BARI Karella 1’ and the hybrid ‘Benteng’, respectively.
The bitter gourd cultivars and breeding lines included in this study exhibited specific patterns for five secondary metabolites (saponins, carotenoids, chlorophyll a and b, and vitamin C): in general the two cultivars and South Asian type breeding lines contained higher levels of secondary metabolites, e.g. carotenoids, than the Southeast Asian bitter gourd breeding lines.
Some of these bitter gourd lines will be released to Asian home and school gardeners after conducting multi-location trials across Asia to improve vegetable consumption as a main task of bitter gourd breeding.

description: Perovskite oxides are known to exhibit many magnetic, electronic and structural phases as function of doping and temperature. These materials are theoretically frequently investigated by the DFT+U method, typically in their ground state structure at $T=0$. We show that by combining machine learning force fields (MLFFs) and DFT+U based molecular dynamics, it becomes possible to investigate the crystal structure of complex oxides as function of temperature and $U$. Here, we apply this method to the magnetic transition metal compounds LaMnO$_3$ and SrRuO$_3$. We show that the structural phase transition from orthorhombic to cubic in LaMnO$_3$, which is accompanied by the suppression of a Jahn-Teller distortion, can be simulated with an appropriate choice of $U$. For SrRuO$_3$, we show that the sequence of orthorhombic to tetragonal to cubic crystal phase transitions can be described with great accuracy. We propose that the $U$ values that correctly capture the temperature-dependent structures of these complex oxides, can be identified by comparison of the MLFF simulated and experimentally determined structures.

description: With the recent advances in DNA sequencing, it is now possible to have complete genomes of individuals sequenced and assembled. This rich and focused genotype information can be used to do different population-wide studies, now first time directly on whole genome level. We propose a way to index population genotype information together with the complete genome sequence, so that one can use the index to efficiently align a given sequence to the genome with all plausible genotype recombinations taken into account. This is achieved through converting a multiple alignment of individual genomes into a finite automaton recognizing all strings that can be read from the alignment by switching the sequence at any time. The finite automaton is indexed with an extension of Burrows-Wheeler transform to allow pattern search inside the plausible recombinant sequences. The size of the index stays limited, because of the high similarity of individual genomes. The index finds applications in variation calling and in primer design. On a variation calling experiment, we found about 1.0% of matches to novel recombinants just with exact matching, and up to 2.4% with approximate matching.

description: We consider the valued field $\mathds{K}:=\mathbb{R}((Γ))$ of formal series (with real coefficients and monomials in a totally ordered multiplicative group $Γ>$). We investigate how to endow $\mathds{K}$ with a logarithm $l$, which satisfies some natural properties such as commuting with infinite products of monomials. In the article "Hardy type derivations on generalized series fields", we study derivations on $\mathds{K}$. Here, we investigate compatibility conditions between the logarithm and the derivation, i.e. when the logarithmic derivative is the derivative of the logarithm. We analyse sufficient conditions on a given derivation to construct a compatible logarithm via integration of logarithmic derivatives. In her monograph "Ordered exponential fields", the first author described the exponential closure $\mathds{K}^{\rm{EL}}$ of $(\mathds{K},l)$. Here we show how to extend such a log-compatible derivation on $\mathds{K}$ to $\mathds{K}^{\rm{EL}}$.

In our framework, the information causality leads to a broad class of Tsirelson inequalities. This fact allows us to subject information causality to experimental scrutiny. A no-go theorem for reliable nonlocal computation is also derived. Information causality prevents any physical circuit from performing reliable computations.

description: Lifelong learning requires appropriate solutions, especially for corporate training. Workers usually have difficulty combining training and their normal work. In this context, micro-learning emerges as a suitable solution, since it is based on breaking down new concepts into small fragments or pills of content, which can be consumed in short periods of time. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we offer an updated overview of the research on this training paradigm, as well as the different technologies leading to potential commercial solutions. Second, we introduce a proposal to add micro-learning content to more formal distance learning environments (traditional Learning Management Systems or LMS), with the aim of taking advantage of both learning philosophies. Our approach is based on a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) that is deployed in the cloud. In order to ensure the full integration of the micro-learning approach in traditional LMSs, we have used two well-known standards in the distance learning field: LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) and LIS (Learning Information Service). The combination of these two technologies allows the exchange of data with the LMS to monitor the student's activity and results. Finally, we have collected the opinion of lectures from different countries in order to know their thoughts about the potential of this new approach in higher education, obtaining positive feedback.

Tailoring allosteric modulators of NMDA receptors and GABA-A receptors for neurological disorders
Creators: name: Chen, Wenlin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Both N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, one of the subtypes of ionotropic glutamatergic receptors at the vast majority of excitatory synapses, and the type A γ-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAAR), the principal ionotropic GABARs at the inhibitory GABAergic synapses play essential roles in regulating neuronal activities in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Their dysfunctions contribute to the pathogenesis of many neurological disorders. Overactivation of NMDAR-mediated excitotoxicity is a common cause of many neurodegenerative diseases including stroke. There are two prevalent theories, the ‘NMDAR subtype hypothesis’ that proposes that activating GluN2A-containing NMDAR promotes neuronal survival, whereas activating GluN2B-containing NMDARs leads to neuronal death, and the ‘NMDAR location hypothesis’ that suggests that activating synaptic, primarily GluN2A-containing NMDARs favors neuronal survival while activating extrasynaptic, predominantly GluN2B-containing NMDARs induces neuronal death. Since both hypotheses support allosteric modulators that potentiate GluN2A function and inhibit GluN2B function may have promising potentials as a new and more effective class of neuroprotective therapy for stroke, we performed computer-aided virtual screening and in-silico drug design to discover a lead compound 813 that functions as an NMDAR dual allosteric modulator (Ndam) that potentiates GluN1/GluN2A and at the same time inhibits GluN1/GluN2B. We further optimized Ndam813 and thereby developed two more efficacious compounds, Ndam830 and Ndam844. Ndam830 protected cortical neurons from NMDA-induced excitotoxicity and H2O2-induced oxidative stress, and also reduced ischemia-induced infarct volume, and promoted behavioral recoveries in rat MCAo models. Thus, our results strongly suggest that Ndam830 by promoting synaptic/GluN2A-containing NMDAR mediated cell survival signaling and inhibiting extrasynaptic/GluN2B-containing receptor mediated cell death signaling, is a novel neuroprotective stroke therapeutic. Ndam844 is a potent pan-NMDAR potentiator that can potentially treat NMDAR hypofunction related disorders. Apart from NMDARs, dysfunction of GABAARs is also implicated in various neurological conditions. Using electrophysiological and biochemical methods, we characterized the functional alterations of two de novo GABAAR variants T292S and T292I identified in patients with epileptic encephalopathy (EE) and developmental delay. Moreover, we found clinically approved allosteric modulators of GABAAR that may treat the patients carrying the variants. In summary, allosteric modulators of both NMDARs and GABAAR showed great therapeutic potential for neurological disorders.

Specifically, we consider translationally invariant Dirac Hamiltonians with nearest-layer interaction. We present and prove a geometric formula that relates the existence of surface states as well as their energy dispersion to properties of the bulk Hamiltonian. We further prove the bulk-boundary correspondence between the Chern number and the chiral edge modes for quantum Hall systems within the class of Hamiltonians studied in the paper. Our results can be extended to the case of continuum theories which are quadratic in the momentum, as well as other symmetry classes.

description: Smart contract access control mechanisms can introduce centralization into supposedly decentralized ecosystems. In our view, such centralization is an overlooked risk of smart contracts that underlies well-known smart contract security incidents. Critically, mitigating the known vulnerability of missing permission verification by implementing authorization patterns can in turn introduce centralization. To delineate the issue, we define centralization risk and describe smart contract source code patterns for Ethereum and Algorand that can introduce it to smart contracts. We explain under which circumstances the centralization can be exploited. Finally, we discuss implications of centralization risk for different smart contract stakeholders.

description: There is a standard story about decay in multi-dimensional flux landscapes: that from any state, the fastest decay is to take a small step, discharging one flux unit at a time; that fluxes with the same coupling constant are interchangeable; and that states with N units of a given flux have the same decay rate as those with -N. We show that this standard story is false. The fastest decay is a giant leap that discharges many different fluxes in unison; this decay is mediated by a 'minimal' brane that wraps the internal manifold and exhibits behavior not visible in the effective theory. We discuss the implications for the cosmological constant.

Unlearning the Monster: Teaching English language arts with an anti-colonial, feminist approach
Creators: Pasieka, Jillian
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2025

This paper uses an autoethnographic approach to explore how educators can build solidarity with non-White students and unlearn White supremacist ontologies present in education. It critiques policies, particularly Teaching Quality Standard (TQS5) and anti-racism commitments, which position English language arts teachers as the primary agents of change in anti-racism and equity efforts, highlighting how such policies indirectly place the responsibility on educators while maintaining a hierarchical power dynamic that absolves educational boards. The paper is framed by an anti-colonial theoretical perspective, examining how the Colonial Matrix of Power (CMP), influenced by Aristotelian logic, perpetuates White supremacy in education. Feminist methodology is discussed as a tool for resisting these colonial structures and informing alternative pedagogical practices. The paper’s structure is later divided into two sections: Section A examines The Marrow Thieves (2017) by Dimaline, finding that White teachers in Alberta are

often ill-equipped to teach Indigenous literature, relying on violence-centered approaches. In response, feminist pedagogy and Indigenous-futurism are suggested as alternatives. Section B explores The Hate U Give (2015) by Thomas, critiquing colonial frameworks in anti-racism efforts and advocating for anti-colonial approaches centred around African American vernacular to disrupt embedded racism in education. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of journaling as a reflective practice for confronting biases and shifting pedagogical paradigms.

description: Irregular repetition slotted Aloha (IRSA) has shown significant advantages as a modern technique for uncoordinated random access with massive number of users due to its capability of achieving theoretically a throughput of $1$ packet per slot. When the receiver has also the multi-packet reception of multi-user (MUD) detection property, by applying successive interference cancellation, IRSA also obtains very low packet loss probabilities at low traffic loads, but is unable in general to achieve a normalized throughput close to the $1$. In this paper, we reconsider the case of IRSA with $k$-MUD receivers and derive the general density evolution equations for the non-asymptotic analysis of the packet loss rate, for arbitrary frame lengths and two variants of the first slot used for transmission. Next, using the potential function, we give new capacity bounds on the capacity of the system, showing the threshold arrival rate for zero decoding error probability. Our numerical results illustrate performance in terms of throughput and average delay for $k$-MUD IRSA with finite memory at the receiver, and also with bounded maximum delay.

description: We report a search for fluctuations of the sky brightness toward the north ecliptic pole (NEP) with the Japanese infrared astronomical satellite AKARI,at 2.4, 3.2, and 4.1 \mum. We obtained circular maps with 100 diameter field of view which clearly show a spatial structure on scale of a few hundred arcsec. A power spectrum analysis shows that there is a significant excess fluctuation at angular scales larger than 10000 that can't be explained by zodiacal light, diffuse Galactic light, shot noise of faint galaxies or clustering of low redshift galaxies. These results are consistent with observations at 3.6 and 4.5 \mum by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The fluctuating component observed at large angular scales has a blue stellar spectrum which is similar to that of the spectrum of the excess isotropic emission observed with IRTS. A significant spatial correlation between wavelength bands was found, and the slopes of the linear correlations is consistent with the spectrum of the excess fluctuation. These findings indicate that the detected fluctuation could be attributed to the first stars of the universe, i.e. pop. III stars. The observed fluctuation provides an important constraints on the era of the first stars.

description: High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems need to be constantly monitored to ensure their stability. The monitoring systems collect a tremendous amount of data about different parameters or Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), such as resource usage, IO waiting time, etc. A proper analysis of this data, usually stored as time series, can provide insight in choosing the right management strategies as well as the early detection of issues. In this paper, we introduce a methodology to cluster HPC jobs according to their KPI indicators. Our approach reduces the inherent high dimensionality of the collected data by applying two techniques to the time series: literature-based and variance-based feature extraction. We also define a procedure to visualize the obtained clusters by combining the two previous approaches and the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Finally, we have validated our contributions on a real data set to conclude that those KPIs related to CPU usage provide the best cohesion and separation for clustering analysis and the good results of our visualization methodology.

description: We investigate theoretically the electron states in HgTe quantum dots (QDs) with inverted band structures. In sharp contrast to conventional semiconductor quantum dots, the quantum states in the gap of HgTe quantum dot with an inverted band structure are fully spin-polarized, and show ring-like density distributions near the boundary of the QD and spin-angular momentum locking. The persistent charge currents and magnetic moments, i.e., the Aharonov-Bohm effect, can be observed in such QD structure and oscillate with increasing magnetic fields. This feature offers us a practical way to detect these exotic ring-like edge states using the SQUID technique.

description: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects millions of individuals worldwide. Diabetes Prevention Programs (DPPs) targeting diet and physical activity (PA) have shown reduction in T2D incidence by up to 58%. However, few DPPs report how well participants adhere to PA recommendations. Small Steps for Big Changes (SSBC) is an evidence-based DPP which delivers brief dietary and PA counseling. SSBC aims to help adults living with prediabetes make sustainable modifications to their dietary and PA behaviour to reduce their risk of developing T2D. Participants were asked to use mHealth (i.e., mobile health applications) to self-monitor and self-reflect on their PA in the year following program completion. Behaviour change require an understanding of the current and desired behaviour. Commonly, retrospective data from interviews or focus groups are interpreted, coded, and then analyzed within specific frameworks such as the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). Few studies collect data in real-time free-living environments to assess people’s perceptions on their PA practices. Real-time data collection methods can provide unbiased information about people’s experiences when engaging in PA. This thesis examined self-reported PA and real-time self-reflections reported in the year following completion of SSBC. The most common barriers and facilitators to PA were identified and categorized within the TDF. Finally, correlation was calculated to examine the relationship between PA and self-reflections. On average, participants reported that they exercised 143 days and wrote 78 self-reflections during the year. Self-reflections most commonly included detailed information on their exercise (i.e., self-monitoring of exercise) (4,872 times during the year) and descriptions of facilitators to exercising (3,190). The most commonly identified domains were Behavioural regulation (5,018) and Environmental context and resources (4,532). A positive and moderate correlation was found between self-reflections and days exercised (r= 0.424,p=0.01). These findings add to the literature on PA patterns among individuals at risk of T2D and suggest that elaborating on self-monitoring of PA is an acceptable way to self-reflect among SSBC participants. Future research could benefit from exploring how self-monitoring of PA influences internal processes to improve PA habits. mHealth technology may be an effective way to incorporate self-reflection in future interventions aiming to prevent T2D.

description: We have performed Molecular Dynamics simulations of ectoine, hydroxyectoine and urea in explicit solvent. Special attention has been spent on the local surrounding structure of water molecules. Our results indicate that ectoine and hydroxyectoine are able to accumulate more water molecules than urea by a pronounced ordering due to hydrogen bonds. We have validated that the charging of the molecules is of main importance resulting in a well defined hydration sphere. The influence of a varying salt concentration is also investigated. Finally we present experimental results of a DPPC monolayer phase transition that validate our numerical findings.

description: In classical stochastic theory, the joint probability distributions of a stochastic process obey by definition the Kolmogorov consistency conditions. Interpreting such a process as a sequence of physical measurements with probabilistic outcomes, these conditions reflect that the measurements do not alter the state of the underlying physical system. Prominently, this assumption has to be abandoned in the context of quantum mechanics, yet there are also classical processes in which measurements influence the measured system. Here, we derive conditions that characterize uniquely classical processes that are probed by a reasonable class of invasive measurements. We then analyse under what circumstances such classical processes can simulate the statistics arising from quantum processes associated with informationally-complete measurements. We expect that our investigation will help build a bridge between two fundamental traits of non-classicality, namely, coherence and contextuality.

description: Performance analysis is an essential task in High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems and it is applied for different purposes such as anomaly detection, optimal resource allocation, and budget planning. HPC monitoring tasks generate a huge number of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to supervise the status of the jobs running in these systems. KPIs give data about CPU usage, memory usage, network (interface) traffic, or other sensors that monitor the hardware. Analyzing this data, it is possible to obtain insightful information about running jobs, such as their characteristics, performance, and failures. The main contribution in this paper is to identify which metric/s (KPIs) is/are the most appropriate to identify/classify different types of jobs according to their behavior in the HPC system. With this aim, we have applied different clustering techniques (partition and hierarchical clustering algorithms) using a real dataset from the Galician Computation Center (CESGA). We have concluded that (i) those metrics (KPIs) related to the Network (interface) traffic monitoring provide the best cohesion and separation to cluster HPC jobs, and (ii) hierarchical clustering algorithms are the most suitable for this task. Our approach was validated using a different real dataset from the same HPC center.

Essays on urban violence and health

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Chapters 2 and 3 analyze a place-based policy that reduced the effects of lowering lethal violence at the neighborhood level for several years in some of the most violent neighborhoods on earth. Chapter 2 discusses how this reduction affects short-run learning gains, employment, and incarceration for treated individuals in their early adulthood. The policy increases human capital for students in the short run. Fewer disruptions in the school routine, less student absenteeism, and a safer environment \textit{within} school drive these results. Moreover, younger individuals have a substantially lower likelihood of being incarcerated later. Chapter 3 evaluates the spatial spillover induced by the policy. I find that the program decreased homicides and police killings in treated areas and did not cause crime displacement to other places in Rio de Janeiro. There is suggestive evidence of crime migration to areas in Rio's metropolitan region and the state's countryside. In Chapter 4, I investigate how localized heat stress affects vulnerable populations \emph{within} the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is known that temperature shocks increase mortality, and the link is primarily via human physiology. However, most of this evidence comes from cross-city and epidemiological studies in developed countries. This chapter examines the heat-mortality relationship at a fine-grained level within Rio de Janeiro. We rely on novel satellite imagery sources on temperature and administrative health records at the individual level to build a neighborhood-by-month panel over 14 years. Heat stress increases all-cause mortality in individuals aged 60 years or older but does not affect other age groups. In particular, we find that hot days in a typical month in Rio account for 2\% of cardiovascular deaths in the population 60+. Access to preventive health care can attenuate the marginal effect of temperature on these deaths. We conclude that temperature shocks are localized within cities, implying that remedial policies should also be localized.
