Forward and inverse modelling of thermal stratifications in confined spaces
Creators: name: Mader, Johanna
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Spatially heterogeneous heating and cooling is common in practical applications, such as in the ventilation and heating or cooling of buildings. However, simple models of the resulting buoyancy field typically account for either localised or distributed heat sources independently, without necessarily incorporating effects arising from their interaction. As a canonical means of investigating the latter, this thesis studies the flow and thermal stratification of a closed domain subjected to different combinations of line and distributed surface heating and cooling in time and space. Our observations of steady and transient states are drawn from a set of direct numerical simulations in which the ratio Γ of the strength of the distributed sources to the localised sources is varied. We show that $\HfRb$ plays a decisive role in determining the system's statistically steady state, particularly in restricting the emergence of two-layer stratifications to Γ<1, and demonstrate the importance of an increasing lateral dependence of the buoyancy field with increasing distributed heating at Γ<1. Especially the dynamic of transient states following a step change in Γ<1 is crucially determined by lateral heat transport at a finite velocity. Building on existing approaches that typically assume uniform buoyancy within each layer, we develop a steady state model that incorporates a lateral buoyancy gradient and exhibits a better agreement with observations. Predicting the effects of different heating distributions finds application in inverse problems of estimating boundary heat fluxes from interior temperature measurements and are of particular interest in building design and heating control. We performed a parameter estimation based on a simple two-dimensional model, however, the results show a large standard deviation from the true values. This suggests that compensating for systematic modelling errors, for example via a Bayesian approach, may be necessary to infer heterogeneous boundary conditions from simple stratification models.

description: In this paper we study pattern formation arising in a system of a single reaction-diffusion equation coupled with subsystem of ordinary differential equations, describing spatially-distributed growth of clonal populations of precancerous cells, whose proliferation is controled by growth factors diffusing in the extracellular medium and binding to the cell surface. We extend the results on the existence of nonhomogenous stationary solutions obtained in the previous work of one of the authors to a general Hill-type production function and full parameter set. Using spectral analysis and perturbation theory we derive conditions for the linearized stability of such spatial patterns.

description: We proceed to study the hybrid integrable structure in two-dimensional non-linear sigma models with target space three-dimensional squashed spheres. A quantum affine algebra and a pair of Yangian algebras are realized in the sigma models and, according to them, there are two descriptions to describe the classical dynamics 1) the trigonometric description and 2) the rational description, respectively. For every description, a Lax pair is constructed and the associated monodromy matrix is also constructed. In this paper we show the gauge-equivalence of the monodromy matrices in the trigonometric and rational description under a certain relation between spectral parameters and the rescalings of sl(2) generators.

description: We calculate the drag force experienced by an infinitely massive quark propagating at constant velocity through an anisotropic, strongly coupled N=4 plasma by means of its gravity dual. We find that the gluon cloud trailing behind the quark is generally misaligned with the quark velocity, and that the latter is also misaligned with the force. The drag coefficient $μ$ can be larger or smaller than the corresponding isotropic value depending on the velocity and the direction of motion. In the ultra-relativistic limit we find that generically $μ\propto p$. We discuss the conditions under which this behaviour may extend to more general situations.

Straddling the great divide : intersections in gameplay and narrative in contemporary Japanese role-playing games
Creators: name: Helland, Sarah Michelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This project explores questions concerning whether digital games should be studied in terms of narrative, ludology (gameplay), or both. The project begins by discussing the current state of game studies and the ‘narrative vs. ludology’ debate. The author provides a brief outline of contemporary theory surrounding the debate before asserting her central thesis that both gameplay and narrative are integral components of player experience and that both must be acknowledged. The author then outlines her research methodology, which includes textual analyses of two popular Japanese role-playing games. By examining the ways in which morality is depicted in both games, the author posits that the functions of both gameplay and narrative in constructing player experience will become evident. A brief discussion of what constitutes a role-playing game is provided, followed by a discussion of the ways in which digital role-playing games are cultural products. The author includes an analysis of narrative conventions in contemporary Japanese role-playing games in order to resist eurocentric readings of the two games to be examined. The textual analyses begin with an examination of gameplay in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. An analysis of the game’s narrative elements such as plot, characterization, and theme follows. Through this analysis, the author observes a marked focus upon collectivist morality, which is clearly observable in both the gameplay and narrative elements of the game. Gameplay in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is then examined, followed by an analysis of the title’s narrative elements. The author observes that the gameplay and narrative elements of the latter game emphasize individualistic morality. Although the games provide very different depictions of morality, both rely continually upon intersections in gameplay and narrative to construct player experience. Through the textual analyses, the author concludes that gameplay and narrative are thoroughly interconnected and that attempting to divorce the two for the purpose of academic study is purely artificial and thus not useful in understanding the ways in which digital games affect global cultures. The project concludes with a number of recommendations concerning the future of game studies.

description: This paper deals with the development of a novel veneer-reinforced timber product for load-bearing applications – veneer-reinforced timber. For this composite timber product, veneers are inserted vertically into a glulam cross-section to act as reinforcement for shear and tensile stresses perpendicular to the grain. By arranging the veneer layers between the glulam components at angles of 0° and 90°, the highly anisotropic strength and stiffness properties of glulam are homogenized. By means of numerical simulations and experimental investigations, the load-bearing behavior and the efficiency of veneer-reinforced timber are investigated.

description: The construction of the master T-operator recently suggested in Alexandrov et al. (arXiv:1112.3310) is applied to integrable vertex models and associated quantum spin chains with trigonometric R-matrices. The master T-operator is a generating function for commuting transfer matrices of integrable vertex models depending on infinitely many parameters. At the same time it turns out to be the tau-function of an integrable hierarchy of classical soliton equations in the sense that it satisfies the the same bilinear Hirota equations. The class of solutions of the Hirota equations that correspond to eigenvalues of the master T-operator is characterized and its relation to the classical Ruijsenaars-Schneider system of particles is discussed.

description: We present a renormalizable flavor model with Z_4 as flavor symmetry in both the quark and lepton sectors. The model is constructed with a minimal approach and no-right handed neutrinos are introduced. In this approach a minimum number of two SU(2) Higgs doublets and one scalar singlet are required in order to obtain the Nearest Neighbor Interaction form for charged fermions and to generate neutrino masses radiatively. For the quark sector we follow the charge assignations made by Branco et. al. in reference [1]. All fermion masses and mixing angles in the model are in agreement with current experimental data and only the inverted hierarchy for the neutrino mass spectrum is allowed. Since neutrinos are Majorana the contribution to neutrinoless double beta decay is also analyzed.

description: We describe an experiment to produce 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensates in an optically plugged magnetic quadrupole trap, using a blue-detuned laser. Due to the large detuning of the plug laser with respect to the atomic transition, the evaporation has to be carefully optimized in order to efficiently overcome the Majorana losses. We provide a complete theoretical and experimental study of the trapping potential at low temperatures and show that this simple model describes well our data. In particular we demonstrate methods to reliably measure the trap oscillation frequencies and the bottom frequency, based on periodic excitation of the trapping potential and on radio-frequency spectroscopy, respectively. We show that this hybrid trap can be operated in a well controlled regime that allows a reliable production of degenerate gases.

title: A Call For Research: Ethical Dilemmas of Autonomous Vehicle Manufacturers
Creators: name: Harwood, Remy
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: While autonomous vehicles accounted for about 31.4 million vehicles on the road in 2019 (Placek). They have continued to flood the market and have a projected growth to 58 million in just 8 years from now (Placek) As well as a market cap in the billions of dollars. Even the comparatively new AV company Tesla has over 3 times the market cap value of the leading non AV brand Toyota (Market Cap) who are also working toward AVs as well, like their level 2 teammate driver assistance. Following Moore’s Law, as technology continues to improve, their social impact and ethical problems increase (Borenstein et al.) - [7]. 90% of all accidents are caused by human error (Martínez-Díaz and Soriguera); Currently, vehicles in the US caused around 42,915 deaths in 2021 alone (NHTSA). By increasing the use of autonomous vehicles we could save millions of lives over the course of the spread of AVs (Borenstein et al.)-[16]. We find humanity in a “new world” where vehicles will soon be able to make decisions that have a direct effect on who lives or who dies (Awad, Edmond, et al.). However, the goal of AVs is that they will never initiate a dangerous situation and therefore never cause an accident (Martinho et al.) - (Mobileye,n.d).
Transient outburst events from tidally disrupted asteroids near white dwarfs

description: We discuss the possibility of observing the transient formation event of an accretion disk from the tidal destruction process of an asteroid near a white dwarf (WD). This scenario is commonly proposed as the explanation for dusty disks around WDs. We find that the initial formation phase lasts for about a month and material that ends in a close orbit near the WD forms a gaseous disk rather than a dusty disk. The mass and size of this gaseous accretion disk is very similar to that of Dwarf Novae (DNe) in quiescence. The bolometric luminosity of the event at maximum is estimated to be 0.001-0.1Lsun. Based on the similarity with DNe we expect that transient outburst events such as discussed here will be observed at wavelengths ranging from visible to the X-ray, and be detected by present and future surveys.

The importance of bubble deformability for strong drag reduction in bubbly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow

description: Bubbly turbulent Taylor-Couette (TC) flow is globally and locally studied at Reynolds numbers of Re = 5 x 10^5 to 2 x 10^6 with a stationary outer cylinder and a mean bubble diameter around 1 mm. We measure the drag reduction (DR) based on the global dimensional torque as a function of the global gas volume fraction a_global over the range 0% to 4%. We observe a moderate DR of up to 7% for Re = 5.1 x 10^5. Significantly stronger DR is achieved for Re = 1.0 x 10^6 and 2.0 x 10^6 with, remarkably, more than 40% of DR at Re = 2.0 x 10^6 and a_global = 4%. To shed light on the two apparently different regimes of moderate DR and strong DR, we investigate the local liquid flow velocity and the local bubble statistics, in particular the radial gas concentration profiles and the bubble size distribution, for the two different cases; Re = 5.1 x 10^5 in the moderate DR regime and Re = 1.0 x 10^6 in the strong DR regime, both at a_global = 3 +/- 0.5%. By defining and measuring a local bubble Weber number (We) in the TC gap close to the IC wall, we observe that the crossover from the moderate to the strong DR regime occurs roughly at the crossover of We ~ 1. In the strong DR regime at Re = 1.0 x 10^6 we find We > 1, reaching a value of 9 (+7, -2) when approaching the inner wall, indicating that the bubbles increasingly deform as they draw near the inner wall. In the moderate DR regime at Re = 5.1 x 10^5 we find We ~ 1, indicating more rigid bubbles, even though the mean bubble diameter is larger, namely 1.2 (+0.7, -0.1) mm, as compared to the Re = 1.0 x 10^6 case, where it is 0.9 (+0.6, -0.1) mm. We conclude that bubble deformability is a relevant mechanism behind the observed strong DR. These local results match and extend the conclusions from the global flow experiments as found by van den Berg et al. (2005) and from the numerical simulations by Lu, Fernandez & Tryggvason (2005).

Decomposition of free fields and structural stability of dynamical systems for renormalization group analysis
Creators: name: Bauerschmidt, Roland
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The main results of this thesis concern the spatial decomposition of Gaussian fields and the structural stability of a class of dynamical systems near a non-hyperbolic fixed point. These are two problems that arise in a renormalization group method for random fields and self-avoiding walks developed by Brydges and Slade. This renormalization group program is outlined in the introduction of this thesis with emphasis on the relevance of the problems studied subsequently. The first original result is a new and simple method to decompose the Green functions corresponding to a large class of interesting symmetric Dirichlet forms into integrals over symmetric positive semi-definite and finite range (properly supported) forms that are smoother than the original Green function. This result gives rise to multiscale decompositions of the associated free fields into sums of independent smoother Gaussian fields with spatially localized correlations. Such decompositions are the point of departure for renormalization group analysis. The novelty of the result is the use of the finite propagation speed of the wave equation and a related property of Chebyshev polynomials. The result improves several existing results and also gives simpler proofs. The second result concerns structural stability, with respect to contractive third-order perturbations, of a certain class of dynamical systems near a non-hyperbolic fixed point. We reformulate the stability problem in terms of the well- posedness of an infinite-dimensional nonlinear ordinary differential equation in a Banach space of carefully weighted sequences. Using this, we prove the existence and regularity of flows of the dynamical system which obey mixed initial and final boundary conditions. This result can be applied to the renormalization group map of Brydges and Slade, and is an ingredient in the analysis of the long-distance behavior of four dimensional weakly self-avoiding walks using this approach.

description: We continue to investigate possible signatures of a pre-inflationary anisotropic phase in two-point and three point correlation functions of the curvature perturbation for high-momentum modes which exit the horizon well after isotropization. The late time dynamics of these modes is characterized by a non-Bunch Davies vacuum state which encodes all the information about initial anisotropy in the background space-time. We observe that, unlike the non-planar momenta, there exist regimes of planar momenta for which scale invariance of the power spectrum is strongly broken. This regime of planar momenta gives rise to enhanced non-Gaussianity in certain squeezed triangle configurations, although the enhancement of the $f_{NL}$ parameter is limited by the breakdown of linear perturbation theory at "exact planarity". Finally, we demonstrate that for the range of planar modes for which scale invariance of the power spectrum is preserved, non-Gaussianity in the curvature perturbation spectrum is naturally constrained to be extremely small.

description: This work concerns the global minimization of a prescribed eigenvalue or a weighted sum of prescribed eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix-valued function depending on its parameters analytically in a box. We describe how the analytical properties of eigenvalue functions can be put into use to derive piece-wise quadratic functions that underestimate the eigenvalue functions. These piece-wise quadratic under-estimators lead us to a global minimization algorithm, originally due to Breiman and Cutler. We prove the global convergence of the algorithm, and show that it can be effectively used for the minimization of extreme eigenvalues, e.g., the largest eigenvalue or the sum of the largest specified number of eigenvalues. This is particularly facilitated by the analytical formulas for the first derivatives of eigenvalues, as well as analytical lower bounds on the second derivatives that can be deduced for extreme eigenvalue functions. The applications that we have in mind also include the ${\rm H}_\infty$-norm of a linear dynamical system, numerical radius, distance to uncontrollability and various other non-convex eigenvalue optimization problems, for which, generically, the eigenvalue function involved is simple at all points.

description: In low concentration Tm$^{3+}$:YAG, we observe efficient adiabatic rapid passage (ARP) of thulium nuclear spin over flipping times much longer than $T_2$. Efficient ARP with long flipping time has been observed in monoatomic solids for decades and has been analyzed in terms of spin temperature and of the thermodynamic equilibrium of a coupled spin ensemble. In low-concentration impurity-doped crystals the spin temperature concept may be questioned. A single spin model should be preferred since the impurity ions are weakly coupled together but interact with the numerous off-resonant matrix ions that originate the spin-spin relaxation. The experiment takes place in the context of quantum information investigation, involving impurity-doped crystals, spin hyperpolarization by optical pumping, and optical detection of the spin evolution.

description: For oscillatory functions on local fields coming from motivic exponential functions, we show that integrability over $Q_p^n$ implies integrability over $F_p ((t))^n$ for large $p$, and vice versa. More generally, the integrability only depends on the isomorphism class of the residue field of the local field, once the characteristic of the residue field is large enough. This principle yields general local integrability results for Harish-Chandra characters in positive characteristic as we show in other work. Transfer principles for related conditions such as boundedness and local integrability are also obtained. The proofs rely on a thorough study of loci of integrability, to which we give a geometric meaning by relating them to zero loci of functions of a specific kind.

Tracing knowledge and the law : the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry
Creators: name: Collard, Juliane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In response to public concern over the prolonged serial killings of Vancouver’s Missing Women, in 2010 British Columbia’s provincial government called a public inquiry into the police investigation of Robert William Pickton, the convicted murderer of six women from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Commissions of Inquiry advocates suggest that the quasi-legal framework makes it an ideal tool for exploring this case of juridico-political silence. As an inclusive and collaborative process, public inquiries create a space for hearing the voices that might be silenced in a formal trial. And yet, accounts of the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry (MWCI) suggest that it was a highly divisive and exclusionary process. This thesis explores the empirical details of the MWCI asking how modes of knowledge production are mobilized within the legal space it generates and with what effect. Drawing on inquiry transcripts, interviews with legal professionals and community organizers, and theoretical contributions from critical legal studies, performance studies, and archive theory, I query the epistemological and ontological exclusions that shaped the MWCI and their rootedness in naturalized legal codes and categories.
Rice Earhead Bug in Rice.pdf

subject: Horticultural crop growth and development

description: The rice earhead bug (Leptocorisa oratorius) is a major pest of rice, especially during the grain-filling stage. Both nymphs and adults suck sap from developing grains, causing unfilled, shriveled, and chaffy grains, which reduces yield and grain quality. The bug is commonly seen on rice panicles during the milky stage of the crop. Management includes synchronized planting, avoiding late planting, handpicking, conserving natural enemies, and, if needed, applying insecticides at the early milky stage.
Risk and protective factors associated with successful independent living outcomes in a national sample of youth aging out of foster care

description: The transition from adolescence to adulthood is a crucial period in a young person’s life. Youth aging out of foster care normally face multiple disadvantages in terms of educational attainment, employment outcomes, housing, financial stability, and life skills compared with their peers in the general population. To overcome these challenges, the John H. Chafee Foster Care Independence Program (CFCIP) was established; it assists youth in making the transition from foster care to self-sufficiency by providing funding to states. This study aims to examine the risk and protective factors contributing to independent living outcomes using a national sample of youth aging out of the foster care system. By merging the National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD) and the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) datasets, this study provides an overview of independent living outcomes of youth aging out of foster care. By utilizing a growth curve modeling method, this study suggests there is a high prevalence of negative outcomes among this population as they transition from adolescence to adulthood. It shows that several risk factors are associated with key domains of independent living outcomes, including placement stability, current placement setting, and previous adverse experience. Having a connection between 17 and 21 with an adult and remaining in foster care after 18 are both substantial protective factors of successful life outcomes. The findings of this study also have implications for policy and practice. Policymakers and practitioners should work together to develop evidence-based, trauma-informed interventions that better help this vulnerable population, with an emphasis on achieving relational permanency. Future Independent Living Programs should be tailored to meet the specific needs of youth in foster care, and child welfare workers should be aware of the risks and protective factors that impact youth development.

description: We present theory and calculations for coherent high-fidelity quantum control of many-particle states in semiconductor quantum wells. We show that coupling a two-electron double quantum dot to a terahertz optical source enables targeted excitations that are one to two orders of magnitude faster and significantly more accurate than those obtained with electric gates. The optical fields subject to physical constraints are obtained through quantum optimal control theory that we apply in conjunction with the numerically exact solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation. Our ability to coherently control arbitrary two-electron states, and to maximize the entanglement, opens up further perspectives in solid-state quantum information.

Dipolar-controlled spin tunneling and relaxation in molecular magnets

description: Spin tunneling in molecular magnets controlled by dipole-dipole interactions (DDI) in the disordered state has been considered numerically on the basis of the microscopic model using the quantum mean-field approximation. In the actual case of a strong DDI spin coherence is completely lost and there is a slow relaxation of magnetization, described by t^{3/4} at short times. Fast precessing nuclear spins, included in the model microscopically, only moderately speed up the relaxation.

Topological boson

description: In this dissertation, we investigate the thermal transport properties of magnons in several antiferromagnetic systems, focusing on their topological nature and their interplay with electrons and phonons. In the second chapter, we study magnon spin thermal transport using a strong coupling approach in pyrochlore iridate trilayer thin films grown along the [111] direction. As a result of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), the spin configuration of the ground state is an all-in/all-out (AIAO) ordering on neighboring tetrahedra of the pyrochlore lattice. In such a state, the system has an inversion symmetry and a Nernst-type thermal spin current response is well defined. We calculate the temperature dependence of the magnon Nernst response concerning the magnon band topology controlled by spin-orbit coupling parameters and observe topologically protected chiral edge modes. Our study suggests that the [111] grown thin-film pyrochlore iridates are a promising candidate for thermal spin transport and spin caloritronic devices. In the third chapter, we present a general theory of the longitudinal spin Seebeck effects in the case that the anti-symmetric DMI is considered at the interface. By using an AIAO spin-ordered pyrochlore iridate as the magnetic insulator with a large DMI, we conduct a systematic study of the dependence of the thermally-driven interfacial spin current on the temperature gradient, the interfacial DMI interaction and the crystalline orientation along the interface. Our results show that the spin current injected in the metal is surprisingly sensitive to the orientation of the interface and the direction of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) vectors, offering a route for both probing magnetic properties via a spin-transport measurement and engineering efficient heterostructures. In the fourth chapter, we theoretically study magnon-phonon hybridization in a two-dimensional antiferromagnet on a honeycomb lattice. With an in-plane DMI from mirror symmetry breaking, we find non-trivial Berry curvature around the anti-crossing regions among magnon and both optical and acoustic phonon bands, which gives rise to well-defined Chern numbers. We also show that the Chern numbers of this hybridized system are highly tunable by an external magnetic field. For experiments, we evaluate the thermal Hall conductivity reflecting the non-trivial Berry curvatures of the excitations and propose the possibility of observing valley Hall effects resulted from spin-induced chiral phonons. Our study complements prior work in magnon-phonon hybridized systems without optical phonons and suggests possible applications in spin caloritronics with topological magnons and chiral phonons.
