description: Expert Databases are environments that support the processing of rule programs against a disk resident database. They occupy a position intermediate between active and deductive databases, with respect to the level of abstraction of the underlying rule language. The operational semantics of the rule language influences the problem solving strategy, while the architecture of the processing environment determines efficiency and scalability. In this paper, we present elements of the PARADISER architecture and its kernel rule language, PARULEL. The PARADISER environment provides support for parallel and distributed evaluation of rule programs, as well as static and dynamic load balancing protocols that predictively balance a computation at runtime. This combination of features results in a scalable database rule and complex query processing architecture. We validate our claims by analyzing the performance of the system for two realistic test cases. In particular, we show how the performance of a parallel implementation of transitive closure is significantly improved by predictive dynamic load balancing.

Smoothness assumptions in human and machine vision, and their implications for optimal surface interpolation
Creators: name: Boult, Terrance E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1986
Subjects: Computer science

description: In this paper we shall examine what smoothness assumptions are made about object surfaces, object motion, and image intensities. We begin by looking into the physiological limits of vision and how these might influence our perception of smoothness. We then look at a sampling of the computer vision and psychology literature, inferring smoothness constraints from the mathematical assumptions tacitly presumed by researchers. This look at computer vision and psychology of vision is not meant to be an inclusive study, but rather representative of the assumptions made, and in part representative of the mathematical models used therein. We shall conclude that prevalent assumptions are that surfaces, motion, and intensity images are functions in C2, eland c2 respectively. In the latter portion of this paper we examine one use of explicit assumptions on smoothness in the definition of existing method for obtaining "optimal" surface interpolation. We briefly introduce the nomenclature of information-based complexity originated by Traub, Wozniakowski, and their colleagues, which is the mathematical machinery used in obtaining these "optimal" surfaces. This theory requires that we know the class of functions from which our desired surface comes, and part of the definition of a class is the degree of smoothness. We then survey many possible classes for the visual interpolation problem of two dimensional surfaces, and state formulas from which one can obtain the optimal surface interpolating given depth data.
Lexical Co-occurrence: The Missing Link

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Computer science

description: Aside from syntax, linguistic knowledge can be separated into two distinct parts, encyclopedic knowledge and dictionary knowledge. Encyclopedic knowledge describes the world whereas the dictionary describes individual word features, thus capturing lexical knowledge. Among the various types of lexical knowledge, one has generally been overlooked and should bring new results in computational linguistics: co-occurrence knowledge. Co-occurrence knowledge stands for the extent to which an item is specified by its environment independently of syntactic or semantic reasons. The basic concept is that of a lexical relation due to Saussure [49]. A lexical relation between two units of language stands for a correlation of common appearance of the two units in the utterances of the language.
Properties of ion-cyclotron waves in the open solar corona

description: Remote observations of coronal holes have strongly implicated the resonant interactions of ion-cyclotron waves with ions as a principal mechanism for plasma heating and acceleration of the fast solar wind. In order to study these waves, a WKB (Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin) linear perturbation analysis is used in the work frame of the collisionless multi-fluid model where we consider in addition to the protons a second ion component made of alpha particles. We consider a non-uniform background plasma describing a funnel region in the open coronal holes and we use the ray tracing Hamiltonian type equations to compute the ray path of the waves and the spatial variation of their properties.

Finite Element Modelling of Induced Rupture on Faults with Non-negligible Cohesion
Creators: name: Sattari, Arsalan
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Geophysics
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: A finite-element (FE) simulation approach is used to investigate earthquake rupture processes on faults with cohesion. This study is motivated by evidence that, unlike tectonically active systems, faults that have been inactive on a timescale of centuries or longer (well-healed faults) have non-negligible cohesion. Inclusion of cohesion, along with friction, into the basic physical model for fault activation may be important for calculating hazards associated with injection-induced seismicity, where earthquakes are typically concentrated in formerly quiescent regions. The problems addressed in this thesis are framed by a series of hypotheses: 1) cohesion loss plays a key role in stress drop and seismic efficiency of well-healed faults; 2) co-seismic stress drop affects only the shear stress acting on a fault in proximity to a free surface; 3) inclusion of dynamic processes in the numerical simulation, such as slip overshoot, has an important effect on the magnitude of surface deformation; 4) fault slip is modified by coupling between dynamic rupture and body waves in the surrounding medium. Chapter 2 tests hypotheses 1 and 2 using an adapted and improved version of a 2-D plane-strain, static FE modelling method for a dip-slip fault. The result of the model is in good agreement with analytical models and shows that both cohesion and friction loss can contribute to stress drop. Chapter 3 uses a similar FE model setup to address hypotheses 1, 2 and 3. In this case, a dynamic FE method is used in which d'Alembert forces (inertial components) are considered, leading to slip overshoot. The results indicate that seismic efficiency increases with the ratio of cohesion to normal stress. A previous theoretical model that places an upper bound on seismic efficiency (0.06) is therefore valid only if cohesion is neglected. Chapter 4 tests hypothesis 4 using a suite of 3-D dynamic FE models of strike-slip faulting, a more common mechanism for induced earthquakes. Rupture is initiated by abrupt loss of cohesion within a discrete fault patch (asperity), thereupon propagating outwards into a marginally stable region of the fault. The results indicate that cohesion loss is sufficient to sustain dynamic rupture. Modelled oscillatory behavior of stress drop is interpreted to be a footprint of dynamic interaction between the rupture front and body waves propagating in the surrounding rockmass.

Topological Insulator and Helical Zero Mode in Silicene under Inhomogeneous Electric Field

description: Silicene is a monolayer of silicon atoms forming a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, which shares almost every remarkable property with graphene. The low energy structure of silicene is described by Dirac electrons with relatively large spin-orbit interactions due to its buckled structure. The key observation is that the band structure is controllable by applying the electric field to a silicene sheet. In particular, the gap closes at a certain critical electric field. Examining the band structure of a silicene nanoribbon, we demonstrate that a topological phase transition occurs from a topological insulator to a band insulator with the increase of the electric field. We also show that it is possible to generate helical zero modes anywhere in a silicene sheet by adjusting the electric field locally to this critical value. The region may act as a quantum wire or a quantum dot surrounded by topological and/or band insulators. We explicitly construct the wave functions for some simple geometries based on the low-energy effective Dirac theory. These results are applicable also to germanene, that is a two-dimensional honeycomb structure of germanium.

description: Instructional theories often view the work of instructors from a psychological perspective while playing little emphasis on the communicative aspects. However, there are vital communicational influences on and implications for instructional practice and the instructional process as a whole. As such, this work begins with the position that instruction is, in its entirety, a communicative process. A comparison is made between the three basic models of communication (transmission, interaction and transaction) and three main educational theories (behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism). This comparison shows that there are alignments between the transmission model of communication and behaviorism, the interactive model of communication and cognitivism, and the transactional model of communication and constructivism. These similarities are explored over three major instructional activities – lesson planning, lesson delivery and assessment. Subsequently, three real-life scenarios were presented to illustrate how the three basic models of communication are manifested in the classroom. Given the applicability of the models of communication to the instructional process, the practical utility of approaching instruction from a communicative perspective is discussed. Potential implications for educational practitioners and scholars are discussed afterwards.

description: This paper presents the case of CoRoT LRa02_E2_0121, which was initially classified as a Neptune-size transiting-planet candidate on a relatively wide orbit of 36.3 days. Follow-up observations were performed with UVES, Sandiford, SOPHIE and HARPS. These observations revealed a faint companion in the spectra. To find the true nature of the system we derived the radial velocities of the faint companion using TODMOR - a two-dimensional correlation technique, applied to the SOPHIE spectra. Modeling the lightcurve with EBAS we discovered a secondary eclipse with a depth of ~0.07%, indicating a diluted eclipsing binary. Combined MCMC modeling of the lightcurve and the radial velocities suggested that CoRoT LRa02_E2_0121 is a hierarchical triple system with an evolved G-type primary and an A-type:F-type grazing eclipsing binary. Such triple systems are difficult to discover.

Inferring Constraints from Multiple Snapshots

description: Many graphics tasks, such as the manipulation of graphical objects, and the construction of user-interface widgets, can be facilitated by geometric constraints. However, the difficulty of specifying constraints by traditional methods forms a barrier to their widespread use. In order to make constraints easier to declare, we have developed a method of specifying constraints implicitly, through multiple examples. Snapshots are taken of an initial scene configuration, and one or more additional snapshots are taken after the scene has been edited into other valid configurations. The constraints that are satisfied in all the snapshots are then applied to the scene objects. We discuss an efficient algorithm for inferring constraints from multiple snapshots. The algorithm has been incorporated into the Chimera editor, and several examples of its use are discussed.
Distribution of localized states from fine analysis of electron spin resonance spectra of organic semiconductors: Physical meaning and methodology

description: We develop an analytical method for the processing of electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra. The goal is to obtain the distributions of trapped carriers over both their degree of localization and their binding energy in semiconductor crystals or films composed of regularly aligned organic molecules [Phys. Rev. Lett. v. 104, 056602 (2010)]. Our method has two steps. We first carry out a fine analysis of the shape of the ESR spectra due to the trapped carriers; this reveals the distribution of the trap density of the states over the degree of localization. This analysis is based on the reasonable assumption that the linewidth of the trapped carriers is predetermined by their degree of localization because of the hyperfine mechanism. We then transform the distribution over the degree of localization into a distribution over the binding energies. The transformation uses the relationships between the binding energies and the localization parameters of the trapped carriers. The particular relation for the system under study is obtained by the Holstein model for trapped polarons using a diagrammatic Monte Carlo analysis. We illustrate the application of the method to pentacene organic thin-film transistors.

description: This report describes the notion of process migration. and points out certain vulnerabilities to architectural assumptions. Computationally intensive processes, typified by scientific computations, are among the best candidates for migration.

We point out some of these problems. and suggest some solutions.
Dental Polish as an Indicator of Seasonality and Applications to Archaeological Bison from Southern Alberta

description: This thesis evaluates dental polish in archaeological bison as a means of determining season of death for these specimens. Dental polish analysis techniques are created and applied to bison teeth to assess polish signatures left by grasses with varying moisture and exogenous grit to infer the season at death for these specimens, as moisture and grit content vary seasonally. Correlations of dental polish with seasonal patterns are identified based on modern observation and collection of local grasses, which identified four distinct seasonal categories within southern Alberta based on these variables. Dental polish of bison from EePf-1 and EgPn-440 are examined, allowing for assessment of a seasonality of death for these individuals. These interpretations determined that EePf-1 may have been recurrently used during the spring and summer months, and that the assemblage from EgPn-440 represents at least three, distinct occupations, two in the fall and one in the spring.
"One shudders to think what might happen to German Jewry" : Vancouver newspapers and Canadian attitudes towards Nazi antisemitism, 1933-1935
Creators: name: Studniberg, Robin Elise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis explores the attitudes and responses of Canadians to the Nazis’ antisemitism during the early years of the Third Reich, using Vancouver and the Vancouver press as a point of focus. In addition to providing greater understanding of the public response to Nazi Germany during this period, this research also carries larger implications regarding how attitudes towards the Third Reich may reflect broader notions of Canadian identity and Canadian Jewish identity. In particular, this study demonstrates that responses to Nazi Germany were fundamentally shaped by Canada’s longstanding ties to Great Britain. Vancouverites shaped their response to the Nazis from a pro-British, anti-fascist standpoint, rejecting the Nazis’ antisemitism as symbolic of the barbarity of fascism itself. Because their condemnation stemmed from this anti-fascist position, Vancouverites did not have to reconcile their opposition to the Nazis with their own racism. Vancouver Jewry, however, were forced to lead a schizophrenic existence, caught between their ethnic obligations and their identity as Canadian citizens. Within the community, Canadian Jews expressed fears about the pervasive antisemitism in Canada and upheld the persecution of their brethren in Nazi Germany as a possible portent of their own future; outwardly, though, Canadian Jewry expressed a confident Canadianness and ignored the problem of domestic antisemitism, ensuring that their appeals for public and government support were visibly rooted in an obligation to intervene in Germany not as Jews, but as Canadians defending basic democratic principles.

description: The crystal and magnetic structures of the superconducting iron based chalcogenides RbyFe2-xSe2 have been studied by means of single crystal synchrotron x-ray and high resolution neutron powder diffraction in the temperature range 2-570 K. The ground state of the crystal is an intrinsically phase separated state with two distinct by symmetry phases. The main phase has the iron vacancy ordered \surd5x\surd5 superstructure (I4/m space group) with AFM ordered Fe spins. The minority phase does not have \surd5x\surd5-type of ordering and has smaller in plane lattice constant a and larger tetragonal c-axis and can be well described assuming the parent average vacancy disordered structure (I4/mmm space group) with the refined stoichiometry Rb0.60(5)(Fe1.10(5))Se)2. The minority phase amounts to 8-10% mass fraction. The unit cell volume of the minority phase is 3.2% smaller than the one of the main phase at T = 2 K and has quite different temperature dependence. The minority phase transforms to the main vacancy ordered phase on heating above the phase separation temperature T_P = 475 K. The spatial dimensions of the phase domains strongly increase above TP from 1000 Å to > 2500 Å due to the merging of the regions of the main phase that were separated by the second phase at low temperatures. Additional annealing of the crystals at the temperature T=488 K close to T_P for the long time drastically reduces the amount of the minority phase.

description: This work analyses the effect of the two preference voting systems – proportional system with blocked lists of candidates vs proportional system with open list of candidates - on the quality of politicians. The exogenous variation in the Italian Parliament electoral system (Law n. 270/2005) - which marked the switch from an open to a closed list - allows us implement a Difference-inDifferences approach to compare the change in politicians' quality (as their education level) across the treatment group (the Parliamentarians) and the control group (the regional councillors) of politicians before and after the electoral reform is enforced. We find that the introduction of the reform lowered the politicians' ability. The result is common for Senators and Deputies and it is robust to the inclusion of control variables and to the restriction of treatment group to pastappointed Parliamentarians. This evidence suggests that voters are able to choose more qualifying politicians than political parties and it may be an argument in favor the re-introduction, in the electoral law, of preference voting schemes.

Subjects: Computer science

description: Research in layered and componentized systems shows the benefit of dividing the responsibility of services into separate components. It is still an unresolved issue, however, how a system can be created from a set of existing (independently developed) components. This issue of integration is of immense concern to software architects since a proper solution would reduce duplicate implementation efforts and promote component reuse. In this paper we take a step towards this goal within the domain of software development environments (SDEs) by showing how to integrate an external concurrency control component, called Pern, with environment frameworks. We discuss two experiments where we integrated Pern with Oz, a multi-site, decentralized process centered environment, and Process WEAVER, a commercial process server. We introduce an architecture for retrofitting an external concurrency control component into an environment.

Protocols for Loosely Synchronous Networks

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Computer science

description: This paper overviews a novel transfer mode for B-ISDN: Loosely-synchronous Transfer Mode (LTM). LTM operates by signaling periphery nodes when destinations become available. No frame structure is imposed by LTM, thus avoiding adaptation layers. Additionally, LTM can deliver a spectrum of guaranteed quality of services. New Synchronous Protocol Stacks (SPSs) build on LTM by synchronizing their activities to LTM signals. Such signals can be delivered directly to applications that may synchronize its operations to transmissions, thus minimizing buffering due to synchronization mismatches. SPSs can use current transport protocols unchanged and, potentially, enhance them with the real-time capabilities made possible through LTM.

We provide real 2D optical synthetic-aperture image of a fixed scattering target with a moving aperture and an isotropic resolution. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that we can keep microscope resolution beyond the working distance. A photometric balance is made and we show that the number of photons participating in the final image decreases with the square of the reconstruction distance. This degradation is partially compensated by the high sensitivity of LOFI.

The “Final Report on Open Science use Cases for Fusion Information” is due in month 9 of the project and will further elaborate and extend this collection of use cases. For existing use cases, a range of cases starting with single site access (currently readily available) and then extending to multi-site access (currently only partly available) are provided. These take the form of plotting or obtaining the data for time-traces as well as profiles. The open sciences cases extend beyond what is currently available for researchers and extend to the desire to download data matching certain criteria from a number of devices that could then be used for data-mining. Another extension beyond what is presently available, are the user stories wanting to search for appropriate discharges across devices in an unified manner. These cases will provide input into the architecture and technical Work Packages and could be updated or elaborated as a result of further feedback from them.

description: This research focuses on reliable prediction of product development (PD) project duration within reasonable solution times. It is based on the model of PD projects presented by Smith and Eppinger which suggests that PD projects are akin to Markov reward chains. The research was divided into two phases; the development of a hybrid algorithm to minimize the problem’s solve time without compromising solution quality and the identification of features of a robust PD schedule. The first phase of the research shows that the hybrid algorithm yields similar quality solutions whilst reducing solve times by 50% - 97.4%. The second phase highlights four features that affect robust PD schedule as well as patterns observed in the schedule. In conclusion, this research demonstrates the utility of the developed hybrid algorithm and also illustrates the importance of examining expected project duration and the standard deviation in the results when developing robust PD schedules.

description: Recent progress and open problems in kaonic atom physics are presented. A connection between phenomenological deep potentials and the underlying $K^-N$ interaction is established as well as the need for a theory for multinucleon absorption of kaons. $K^-$ absorption at rest to specific $Λ$ hypernuclei states is briefly discussed.

description: We derive a compact expression for the three-point MHV form factors of half-BPS operators in N=4 super Yang-Mills at two loops. The main tools of our calculation are generalised unitarity applied at the form factor level, and the compact expressions for supersymmetric tree-level form factors and amplitudes entering the cuts. We confirm that infrared divergences exponentiate as expected, and that collinear factorisation is entirely captured by an ABDK/BDS ansatz. Next, we construct the two-loop remainder function obtained by subtracting this ansatz from the full two-loop form factor and compute it numerically. Using symbology, combined with various physical constraints and symmetries, we find a unique solution for its symbol. With this input we construct a remarkably compact analytic expression for the remainder function, which contains only classical polylogarithms, and compare it to our numerical results. Furthermore, we make the surprising observation that our remainder is equal to the maximally transcendental piece of a closely related two-loop amplitude in QCD.

The emotional struggles of teaching journalism and diversity : a case study of professors' responses at one journalism school
Creators: name: Luk, Vivian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis offers a partial historiography of a cross-cultural reporting course taught in a Canadian journalism school, the Ryerson School of Journalism. At its initiation, this course was the first of its kind in Canada to address a pressing need for journalists to challenge the stereotyping of racialized minorities in mainstream media within the backdrop of changing demographics in Canada and a globalized media landscape. Drawing from interviews with the creator of the course and subsequent instructors, this study will detail the emotional and political challenges that instructors faced in developing and implementing the course, and the curriculum changes they made to overcome these challenges. This thesis then examines what journalism schools can learn from Ryerson about the obstacles that instructors face when teaching students about race in the media.

Arrays in SHIM: A Proposal

Subjects: Computer science

description: The use of multiprocessor configurations over uniprocessor is rapidly increasing to exploit parallelism instead of frequency scaling for better compute capacity. The multiprocessor architectures being developed will have a major impact on existing software. Current languages provide facilities for concurrent and distributed programming, but are prone to races and non-determinism. SHIM, a deterministic concurrent language, guarantees the behavior of its programs are independent of the scheduling of concurrent operations. The language currently supports atomic arrays only, i.e., parts of arrays cannot be sent to concurrent processes for evaluation (and edition). In this report, we propose a way to add non-atomic arrays to SHIM and describe the semantics that should be considered while allowing concurrent processes to edit parts of the same array.
On the Average Genus of a Graph

description: Not all rational numbers are possibilities for the average genus of an individual graph. The smallest such numbers are determined, and varied examples are constructed to demonstrate that a single value of average genus can be shared by arbitrarily many different graphs. It is proved that the number one is a limit point of the set of possible values for average genus and that the complete graph K4 is the only 3-connected graph whose average genus is less than one. Several problems for future study are suggested.

description: We report directional point contact Andreev reflection (PCAR) measurements on high-quality single crystals of the non-centrosymmetric superconductor, BiPd. The PCAR spectra measured on different crystallographic faces of the single crystal clearly show the presence of multiple superconducting energy gaps. For point contacts with low resistance, in addition to the superconducting gap feature, a pronounced zero bias conductance peak is observed. These observations provide strong evidence of the presence of unconventional order parameter in this material.

description: Two new nor-lignans, pulvin A (1) and moellenoside C (2), along with two known compounds (3–4) were isolated from the whole plant of Selaginella pulvinate (Hook. & Grev.) Maxim. The structures of the new compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic data and acid hydrolysis. All the isolates were investigated for their antihyperglycemic activities in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The results showed that compounds 1 and 2 promoted the glucose consumption prominently in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in a dose-response manner. Compound 1 and 2 induced 1.14–1.73 folds and 1.03–1.55 folds changes relative to the basal level, respectively, in the concentration range of 12.5 μM to 50 μM.
Countable Random Sets: Uniqueness in Law and Constructiveness

description: The first part of this article deals with theorems on uniqueness in law for σ-finite and constructive countable random sets, which in contrast to the usual assumptions may have points of accumulation. We discuss and compare two approaches on uniqueness theorems: First, the study of generators for σ-fields used in this context and, secondly, the analysis of hitting functions. The last section of this paper deals with the notion of constructiveness. We will prove a measurable selection theorem and a decomposition theorem for constructive countable random sets, and study constructive countable random sets with independent increments.
