Seismic noise: A challenge and opportunity for seismological monitoring in densely populated areas
Creators: name: Groos, Jörn

Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2010

description: Several of the new techniques using the deep underground, such as geothermal power plants or CO2 sequestration, have to be installed in densely populated areas to be economically successful. Geothermal power plants need access to the district heating network to efficiently use the low-temperature heat remaining after power production. Therefore, even weak and non-destructive induced earthquakes became a serious problem for operators of geothermal power plants as such events are felt by many residents. This provokes a loss of acceptance for the new technologies in the local population. The potential application of CO2 sequestration struggles with similar problems as large coal power plants are also installed in densely populated areas. A transparent and comprehensive (seismological) monitoring of new interventions in the underground is crucial to get and keep the public acceptance. Seismological monitoring in cities and densely-populated areas is a challenging task due to the complexity of the man-made seismic noise wave field. Especially the important identification of the small events which are unnoticeable for humans is made difficult by numerous other man-made sources of seismic energy such as traffic and industry. Man-made seismic signals are the dominant source of seismic energy in the frequency range of interest above 1 Hz. A good knowledge and understanding of the seismic noise wave field in densely populated areas is important for the successful planning and operation of seismological monitoring networks. Especially the identification of suitable measuring sites is important as the installation of entire networks in boreholes is hardly possible for economic or practical reasons. Furthermore, the reliable identification of small earthquakes requires a good knowledge of the local seismic noise wave field besides other parameters (e.g. velocity structure, etc.). We present a statistical classification scheme in the time domain to quantify and characterise automatically the seismic noise wave field. The character of seismic noise (e.g. Gaussian distributed or dominated by single transient signals) is represented by only six noise classes. This approach allows us to easily visualise the seismic noise properties (amplitude and statistical properties). Furthermore, it provides a reduced dataset from broadband seismic waveforms to analyse temporal and spatial changes of seismic noise conditions. We use this new classification scheme in combination with a spectral time-frequency analysis to demonstrate the most important properties of the urban seismic noise wave field especially in the frequency range important for seismological monitoring. We select representative seismological measurements in the city of Bucharest, Romania, and in the vicinity of geothermal power plants in south-western Germany for our discussion of the seismic noise wave field in large cities and densely populated areas.

description: We recently showed that a heavy quark moving sufficiently fast through a quark-gluon plasma may lose energy by Cherenkov-radiating mesons [1]. Here we review our previous holographic calculation of the energy loss in N=4 Super Yang-Mills and extend it to longitudinal vector mesons and scalar mesons. We also discuss phenomenological implications for heavy-ion collision experiments. Although the Cherenkov energy loss is an O(1/Nc) effect, a ballpark estimate yields a value of dE/dx for Nc=3 which is comparable to that of other mechanisms.

Non-canonical roles of the nucleoporin Nup153 in influenza A virus infection, intracellular transport, and cellular architecture
Creators: name: Acevedo, Maria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The nuclear pore complex (NPC) mediates the bidirectional transport of macromolecules across the nuclear envelope. Nup153 is a nucleoporin localized in the nuclear side of the NPC that was identified as a host factor required for influenza A virus (IAV) infection in two genome-wide RNA interference (RNAi) screens (Hao et al., 2008, Nature 454:890-893; König et al., 2010, Nature 463:813-817). Since IAV uses the NPC at different steps of its infective cycle, the hypothesis that Nup153 could be required for the nuclear transport of IAV mRNAs, viral proteins, and viral ribonucleoproteins (vRNPs) was tested. The main objective of this thesis was to investigate the role of Nup153 during IAV infection. This was studied by following the progression of IAV infection in HeLa cells where Nup153 was knocked down (KD) with siRNA. These cells produced less infectious particles than control cells; however, no significant changes were detected in the nuclear import of vRNPs and the influenza nucleoprotein. To explain why Nup153 KD cells produced less infectious viral particles, the sub-cellular localization of the viral proteins nucleoprotein, matrix 1, and hemagglutinin were analyzed. The results indicate deficiency in the cytoplasmic trafficking of these proteins. To understand the observed defects in IAV infected Nup153 KD cells, the cellular changes associated with transient RNAi depletion of Nup153 were studied. Strikingly, defects in the intracellular traffic of other host cell proteins and in the distribution of endocytic organelles and the cytoskeleton were found. In addition, pronounced blebbing of the plasma membrane and alterations of the nuclear and cellular architecture were observed. This is the first time that a systematic characterization of the plethora of cellular defects resulting from Nup153 RNAi has been conducted. Collectively, the results suggest that Nup153 depletion has an effect during the late stages of IAV infection and leads to defective vRNPs and/or the inadequate assembly or budding of progeny viral particles. This work adds to the cumulative evidence that nucleoporins have non-canonical roles, including roles during viral infection, and opens the possibility of considering nucleoporins as important factors for the development of future antiviral treatments.

description: We show that conformal Chern-Simons gravity in three dimensions has various holographic descriptions. They depend on the boundary conditions on the conformal equivalence class and the Weyl factor, even when the former is restricted to asymptotic Anti-deSitter behavior. For constant or fixed Weyl factor our results agree with a suitable scaling limit of topologically massive gravity results. For varying Weyl factor we find an enhancement of the asymptotic symmetry group, the details of which depend on certain choices. We focus on a particular example where an affine u(1) algebra related to holomorphic Weyl rescalings shifts one of the central charges by 1. The Weyl factor then behaves as a free chiral boson in the dual conformal field theory.

description: We present the results of an optical microscopy, cathodoluminoscopy and isotopic study on nine glendonite concretions (calcite pseudomorphs replacing metastable hexahydrate ikaite) from Lower-Middle Jurassic sediments of Northeast Russia (Anabar Bay and Lena River region). Glendonite concretions are mainly found within Late Pliensbachian, Toarcian, Aalenian, Bajocian and Lower Bathonian clastic sediments, correlating to episodes of global climatic cooling as determined by independent paleoclimate proxy data. Stable carbon and oxygen isotopic values of glendonite concretions suggest that the primary source of carbon was derived from diagenetically altered organic matter, and the source of oxygen was from seawater. The secondary diagenetic cement is characterized by a significantly lighter δ18O and significantly heavier δ13C signature than the isotopic characteristics of the bulk rock glendonite concretion. This secondary diagenetic cement is thought to have precipitated rapidly during burial diagenesis and since it occupies a significant volume of the glendonite concretion, it has the potential to significantly influence the isotopic composition of bulk rock glendonites.

description: Fine-fraction K‒Ar dating and illite crystallinity determination were applied on a peculiar pale olive green shale sample from the upper Ediacaran Indreelva Member (Stáhpogieddi Formation, Vestertana Group, Gaissa Nappe Complex) of the Digermulen Peninsula in Finnmark, Arctic Norway, to constrain the age and metamorphic conditions of tectono-thermal overprint. The <2 and <0.2 µm grain-size fractions are almost purely illite and yielded an illite crystallinity (expressed as the Kübler index) of 0.215 Δ° 2θ and 0.228 ∆° 2θ and K‒Ar ages of 403.9 ± 4.2 and 391.5 ± 4.0 Ma, respectively. The K‒Ar ages are interpreted to present late-stage thermal overprint under low epizonal conditions along a localised shear zone, likely post-dating the peak of metamorphism and cleavage generation on the Digermulen Peninsula. Thus, a later tectono-metamorphic event related to the late stage of the Scandian orogeny is locally recorded in the Gaissa Nappe Complex of the Caledonides of Finnmark. This late Scandian event was probably caused by orogenic extensional collapse and appears to have extended at least into Mid-Devonian time.

description: The goal of the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is to measure the absolute mass of neutrinos with an unprecedented sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c$^2$ in a model-independent way by precise determination of the beta spectrum of molecular tritium. To achieve this, knowledge of statistical and systematic uncertainties as well as the background processes is essential. Understanding the background processes is of great importance as the current background level exceeds the estimated design value and affects the neutrino mass sensitivity by systematics. It is hypothesised that most of the measured background events originate from ionised Rydberg states released from the surface of the main spectrometer vessel by radioactive decays of a Pb-210 contamination. To investigate this hypothesis that very low-energy electrons are produced by the ionisation of highly excited states by the black-body radiation, a transverse energy filter was used. The passive transverse energy filter (pTEF) is a gold plate with a micro-structured honeycomb structure that acts as a filter for electrons with larger polar angles (transverse energy) relative to the guiding magnetic field. The transmission of the electrons through the filter device is connected to their initial kinetic energy in the main spectrometer. In the context of this thesis, the hypothesis of the current Rydberg background model was not confirmed, so extensions of the model were incorporated.

description: The presence of substructures in dark matter haloes is an unavoidable consequence of the cold dark matter paradigm. Indirect signals from these objects have been extensively searched for with cosmic rays and gamma-rays. At first sight, Cherenkov telescopes seem not very well suited for such searches, due to their small fields of view and the random nature of the possible dark matter substructure positions in the sky. However, with long enough exposure and an adequate observation strategy, the very good sensitivity of this experimental technique allows us to constrain particle dark matter models. We confront here the sensitivity map of the HESS experiment built out of their Galactic scan survey to the state-of-the-art cosmological N-body simulation Via Lactea II. We obtain competitive constraints on the annihilation cross section, at the level of 10^-24 -10^-23 cm^3s^-1. The results are extrapolated to the future Cherenkov Telescope Array, in the cases of a Galactic plane survey and of an even wider extragalactic survey. In the latter case, it is shown that the sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array will be sufficient to reach the most natural particle dark matter models.

Discovery of a selective GluN2A-containing N-methyl-d-aspartate glutamate receptor positive modulator as a novel post-stroke neuroprotective therapy
Creators: name: Axerio-Cilies, Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: N-methyl-d-aspartate glutamate receptors (NMDARs) are fundamental to many normal brain functions such as cognition and memory; however, NMDAR over-activation can cause neuronal death as a result of excitotoxicity. Although the mechanisms underlying these paradoxical roles of NMDARs remain unclear, accumulating evidence from both in-vitro and in-vivo studies suggested that GluN1/GluN2B-NMDAR subtypes mediated signaling may contribute cell death, while GluN1/GluN2A-NMDARs signaling promote pro-survival outcomes. Employing an extensive drug discovery pipeline process, we identified and characterized a class of novel small molecules that specifically potentiate GluN1/GluN2A NMDARs in an allosteric manner. This new class of molecules is referred to as NMDAR positive allosteric modulators (Npams) with the Npam43 being the lead compound. Mutational analysis demonstrates that Npam43 binds to a novel binding site on the N-terminal domain (NTD) at the interface between the GluN1 and GluN2A subunits. Functional characterizations in in-vitro show that Npam43 activates cell survival signaling, increasing phosphorylated CREB levels, and thereby protects neurons against NMDAR-mediated excitotoxicity and NMDA-independent H₂O₂ oxidative stress. Moreover, Npam43 potentiates GluN1/GluN2A-mediated synaptic currents, and facilitates the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) in hippocampal slices acutely prepared from mouse brain. Using a rat focal ischemia model of stroke in-vivo, we show that systemic administration of Npam43 not only modulates GluN1/GluN2A containing NMDARs but also substantially reduces neuronal damage and improves behavioral outcomes. Together, our study not only develops a novel class of Npams for GluN1/GluN2A NMDARs, but also demonstrates their therapeutic potential as novel neuroprotectants for stroke. In addition, the present work also provides strong evidence supporting a critical role of GluN1/GluN2A subtype of NMDARs in promoting cell survival.

description: We study the canonical structure of the Bergshoeff-Hohm-Townsend massive gravity, linearized around a maximally symmetric background. At the critical point in the space of parameters, defined by $Λ_0/m^2=-1$, we discover an extra gauge symmetry, which reflects the existence of the partially massless mode. The number of the Lagrangian degrees of freedom is found to be 1. We show that the canonical structure of the theory at the critical point is unstable under linearization.

description: According to a recent ray-based asymptotic theory, the high-frequency p-mode spectrum of rapidly rotating stars is a superposition of frequency subsets associated with dynamically independent regions of the ray-dynamics phase space. At high rotation rates corresponding to typical $δ$ Scuti stars, two frequency subsets are expected to be visible : a regular frequency subset described by a Tassoul like formula and an irregular frequency subset with specific statistical properties. In this paper, we investigate whether the regular patterns can be detected in the resulting spectrum. We compute the autocorrelation function of synthetic spectra where the frequencies follow the asymptotic theory, the relative amplitudes are simply given by the modes' disk-averaging factors, and the frequency resolution is that of a CoRoT long run. Our first results are that (i) the detection of regular patterns strongly depends on the ratio of regular over irregular modes, (ii) low inclination angle configurations are more favorable than near equator-on configurations, (iii) in the absence of differential rotation, the $2 Ω$ rotational splitting between $m=1$ and $m=-1$ modes is an easy feature to detect.

description: Ediacaran and Permian‒Triassic stages of plagiogranite magmatism are distinguished for the Ust-Bel’sky and Algansky terranes of the West Koryak fold belt, NE Russia. The U‒Pb ages of Ediacaran plagiogranites are 556 ± 3 Ma (SIMS data) and 538 ± 7 Ma (LA–ICP–MS data), respectively, and 235 ± 2 Ma (SIMS data) for the Permian‒Triassic plagiogranites. The Ediacaran and Permian‒Triassic plagiogranites are low-K igneous rocks. Sr‒Nd isotopy and REE patterns of both plagiogranite suites allow suggesting their formation via partial melting of primary mantle material or fractional crystallization of basaltic magma. Ediacaran plagiogranites were formed in the oceanic arc setting contemporaneously with the volcanic-sedimentary complex of Otrozhnaya slice, Ust-Bel’sky terrane. Tuffaceous conglomerates in the lower part of this complex contain Ediacaran zircons with a peak age of 571 Ma. Formation of the Permian‒Triassic plagiogranites took place within the Ust-Bel’sky segment of the Koni‒Taigonos arc via partial melting of melanocratic ophiolite material in the accretionary structure of this arc or fractional crystallization of basaltic magma, melted from such substrate.

We compute the nuclear modification factor $R_{AA}$ for bottom and charm quarks in an expanding plasma with Glauber initial conditions. We find that the maximum stopping distance of light quarks in a non-conformal plasma scales with the energy with a temperature (and energy) dependent effective power.

Gravitino perturbations in Schwarzschild black holes

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the time evolution of massless gravitino perturbations in Schwarzschild black holes, and show that as in the case of fields of other values of spin, the evolution comes in three stages, after an initial outburst as a first stage, we observe the damped oscillations characteristic of the quasinormal ringing stage, followed by long time tails. Using the sixth order WKB method and Prony fitting of time domain data we determine the quasinormal frequencies. There is a good correspondence between the results obtained by the above two methods, and we obtain a considerable improvement with respect to the previously obtained third order WKB results. We also show that the response of a black hole depends crucially on the spin class of the perturbing field: the quality factor becomes a decreasing function of the spin for boson perturbations, whereas the opposite situation appears for fermion ones.

An evaluation of stimulus presentation arrangements on children's acquisition of listener behaviour
Creators: name: Turner, Maria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Clinicians teach listener behaviour within the context early intervention for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Effective, evidence-based procedures are necessary to establish skills that children with ASD do not readily acquire through interactions with their caregivers and peers. In the present study, the effectiveness and efficiency of three different antecedent stimuli presentations (i.e., sample-first, sample-first-with-repetition, and comparison-first conditions) were compared using an adapted alternating treatments design. Participants were three children with ASD, aged 4- and 6-years old. The most efficient presentation varied across participants, and the results obtained with one efficiency measure did not always yield similar results to that obtained with the other efficiency measures. Implications for teaching listener behaviour in early intervention programming are addressed.
A study of bugs in test code and a test model for analyzing tests
Creators: name: Vahabzadeh Sefiddarbon, Arash
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Testing has become a wide-spread practice among practitioners. Test cases are written to verify that production code functions as expected and are modified alongside the production code. Over time the quality of the test code can degrade. The test code might contain bugs, or it can accumulate redundant test cases or very similar ones with many redundant parts. The work presented in this dissertation has focused on addressing these issues by characterizing bugs in test code, and proposing a test model to analyze test cases and support test reorganization. To characterize the prevalence and root causes of bugs in the test code, we mine the bug repositories and version control systems of 448 Apache Software Foundation projects. Our results show that around half of all the projects had bugs in their test code; the majority of test bugs are false alarms, i.e., test fails while the production code is correct, while a minority of these bugs result in silent horrors, i.e., test passes while the production code is incorrect; missing and incorrect assertions are the dominant root cause of silent horror bugs; semantic, flaky, environment related bugs are the dominant root cause categories of false alarms. We present a test model for analyzing tests and performing test reorganization tasks in test code. Redundancies increase the maintenance overhead of the test suite and increase the test execution time without increasing the test suite coverage and effectiveness. We propose a technique that uses our test model to reorganize test cases in a way that reduces the redundancy in the test suite. We implement our approach in a tool and evaluate it on four open-source softwares. Our empirical evaluation shows that our approach can reduce the number of redundant test cases up to 85% and the test execution time by up to 2.5% while preserving the test suite’s behaviour.

description: The so-called "Charming Ringlet" (R/2006 S3) is a low-optical-depth, dusty ringlet located in the Laplace gap in the Cassini Division. This ringlet is particularly interesting because its radial position varies systematically with longitude relative to the Sun in such a way that the ringlet's geometric center appears to be displaced away from Saturn's center in a direction roughly toward the Sun. In other words, the ringlet is always found at greater distances from the planet's center at longitudes near the sub-solar longitude than it is at longitudes near Saturn's shadow. This "heliotropic" behavior indicates that the dynamics of the particles in this ring are being influenced by solar radiation pressure. In order to investigate this phenomenon, which has been predicted theoretically but has never been observed this clearly, we analyze multiple image sequences of this ringlet obtained by Cassini in order to constrain its shape and orientation. These data can be fit reasonably well with a model in which both the eccentricity and the inclination of the ringlet have "forced" components (that maintain a fixed orientation relative to the Sun) as well as "free" components (that drift around the planet at steady rates determined by Saturn's oblateness). While the magnitude of the forced eccentricity is roughly consistent with theoretical expectations for radiation pressure acting on 10-to-100-micron-wide icy grains, the existence of significant free eccentricities and inclinations poses a significant challenge for models of low-optical-depth dusty rings.

description: We describe a new approach to the rare-event Monte Carlo sampling problem. This technique utilizes a symmetrization strategy to create probability distributions that are more highly connected and thus more easily sampled than their original, potentially sparse counterparts. After discussing the formal outline of the approach and devising techniques for its practical implementation, we illustrate the utility of the technique with a series of numerical applications to Lennard-Jones clusters of varying complexity and rare-event character.

description: This decade should provide the first definitive signals of New Physics (NP) beyond the Standard Model (SM) and the goal of these lectures is a review of flavour physics in various extensions of the SM that have been popular in the last ten years. After an overture, two pilot sections and a brief summary of the structure of flavour violation and CP violation in the SM, we will present the theoretical framework for weak decays that will allow us to distinguish between different NP scenarios. Subsequently we will present twelve concrete BSM models summarizing the patterns of flavour violation characteristic for each model. In addition to models with minimal flavour violation (MFV) accompanied by flavour blind phases we will discuss a number of extensions containing non-MFV sources of flavour and CP violation and, in particular, new local operators originating in right-handed charged currents and scalar currents. Next we will address various anomalies in the data as seen from the point of view of the SM that appear very natural in certain extensions of the SM. In this presentation selected superstars of this field will play a very important role. These are processes that are very sensitive to NP effects and which are theoretically clean. Particular emphasis will be put on correlations between various observables that could allow us to distinguish between various NP scenarios. Armed with this knowledge we will propose a coding system in a form of a 3*3 matrix which helps to distinguish between various extensions of the SM. Finding which flavour code is chosen by nature would be an important step towards the fundamental theory of flavour. We give several examples of flavour codes representing specific models.

description: This paper studies non-asymptotic model selection for the general case of arbitrary design matrices and arbitrary nonzero entries of the signal. In this regard, it generalizes the notion of incoherence in the existing literature on model selection and introduces two fundamental measures of coherence---termed as the worst-case coherence and the average coherence---among the columns of a design matrix. It utilizes these two measures of coherence to provide an in-depth analysis of a simple, model-order agnostic one-step thresholding (OST) algorithm for model selection and proves that OST is feasible for exact as well as partial model selection as long as the design matrix obeys an easily verifiable property. One of the key insights offered by the ensuing analysis in this regard is that OST can successfully carry out model selection even when methods based on convex optimization such as the lasso fail due to the rank deficiency of the submatrices of the design matrix. In addition, the paper establishes that if the design matrix has reasonably small worst-case and average coherence then OST performs near-optimally when either (i) the energy of any nonzero entry of the signal is close to the average signal energy per nonzero entry or (ii) the signal-to-noise ratio in the measurement system is not too high. Finally, two other key contributions of the paper are that (i) it provides bounds on the average coherence of Gaussian matrices and Gabor frames, and (ii) it extends the results on model selection using OST to low-complexity, model-order agnostic recovery of sparse signals with arbitrary nonzero entries.

Radiation damage studies of borosilicate glass

Subjects: subject: 19999 Mathematical Sciences not elsewhere classified

description: Borosilicate glass is one of the main materials used for the encapsulation of high level nuclear waste. It is therefore important to understand the effects of irradiation on this material. Classical Molecular Dynamics (MD) is a well established tool for investigating the effects of collision cascades induced by alpha particle decay but although there has been much work regarding cascades in crystals, there has been little work on glass materials. A main aim of this work is therefore to undertake such an investigation in borosilicate glass. The thesis contains the methodology and simulation techniques used in this investigation together with results and conclusions. As a first step existing fixed charge models from the literature were tested to determine the predicted structural and mechanical properties of the borosilicate glass. Fixed charge potentials were used to model crystalline and amorphous SiO2 and borosilicate glass containing 70 mol % SiO2 and 30 mol % B2O3. [Continues.]

description: We consider the application of high-pass Fourier filters to remove periodic systematic fluctuations from full-sky survey CMB datasets. We compare the filter performance with destriping codes commonly used to remove the effect of residual 1/f noise from timelines. As a realistic working case, we use simulations of the typical Planck scanning strategy and Planck Low Frequency Instrument noise performance, with spurious periodic fluctuations that mimic a typical thermal disturbance. We show that the application of Fourier high-pass filters in chunks always requires subsequent normalisation of induced offsets by means of destriping. For a complex signal containing all the astrophysical and instrumental components, the result obtained by applying filter and destriping in series is comparable to the result obtained by destriping only, which makes the usefulness of Fourier filters questionable for removing this kind of effects.
