description: Griffiths singularities occurring in the unbinding of strongly disordered heteropolymers are studied. A model with two randomly distributed binding energies -1 and -v, is introduced and studied analytically by analyzing the Lee-Yang zeros of the partition sum. It is demonstrated that in the limit v -> infinity the model exhibits a Griffiths type singularity at a temperature T_G =O(1) corresponding to melting of long homogeneous domains of the low binding energy. For finite v >> 1 the model is expected to exhibit an additional, unbinding, transition at a high temperature T_M=O(v).

description: The EKG or electrocardiogram sequence is defined by a(1) = 1, a(2) = 2 and, for n >= 3, a(n) is the smallest natural number not already in the sequence with the property that gcd {a(n-1), a(n)} > 1. In spite of its erratic local behavior, which when plotted resembles an electrocardiogram, its global behavior appears quite regular. We conjecture that almost all a(n) satisfy the asymptotic formula a(n) = n(1 + 1/(3 log n) + o(n/log n)) as n goes to infty; and that the exceptional values a(n) = p and a(n) = 3p, for p a prime, produce the spikes in the EKG sequence. We prove that {a(n): n >= 1} is a permutation of the natural numbers and that c_1 n <= a (n) <= c_2 n for constants c_1, c_2. There remains a large gap between what is conjectured and what is proved.

description: Optically addressable spins in widebandgap semiconductors have become one of the most prominent platforms for exploring fundamental quantum phenomena. While several candidates in 3D crystals including diamond and silicon carbide have been extensively studied, the identification of spindependent processes in atomically thin 2D materials has remained elusive. Although optically accessible spin states in hBN are theoretically predicted, they have not yet been observed experimentally. Here, employing rigorous electron paramagnetic resonance techniques and photoluminescence spectroscopy, we identify fluorescence lines in hexagonal boron nitride associated with a particular defect, the negatively charged boron vacancy and determine the parameters of its spin Hamiltonian. We show that the defect has a triplet ground state with a zero field splitting of 3.5 GHz and establish that the centre exhibits optically detected magnetic resonance at room temperature. We also demonstrate the spin polarization of this centre under optical pumping, which leads to optically induced population inversion of the spin ground state a prerequisite for coherent spin manipulation schemes. Our results constitute a leap forward in establishing two dimensional hBN as a prime platform for scalable quantum technologies, with extended potential for spin based quantum information and sensing applications, as our ODMR studies on hBN NV diamonds hybrid structures show.
Informing the design of amino-acid fingerprinting reagents using density functional theory

description: Improving the effectiveness of forensic fingerprinting reagents (FFRs) has been a challenge in the field of forensic chemistry for the previous four decades. Fluorescent methods offer significant improvement over their non-fluorescent counter parts and the focus of several previous studies have been to develop new fluorescent FFRs via a synthetic trial-and-error process. In this study, a computational Density Functional Theory (DFT) approach is used to work towards predicting the fluorescence activity of a system in an attempt to contribute to the development process.
Aiming to inform the fluorescent FFR design process, this study asks: Is time-dependant DFT (TDDFT) able to replicate non-fluorescent behaviour of existing FFRs by identifying non-radiative features along their excited state potential energy surface (PES)? Reporting the validation of TDDFT as a predictive tool, this study presents the accurate calculation of optical properties belonging to products of the existing FFRs, 2,2-dihydroxyindane-1,3-dione (ninhydrin) and 1,8-diazafluoren-9-one (DFO), and has proposed chemical structures of the products of 1,2-indanedione and 2-hydroxy-1,4-napthoquinone (lawsone). Investigation of the PES representing a mechanism related to excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in the ninhydrin product, DYDA, and the DFO product revealed non-radiative characteristics in the former, indicating that an internal 10° dihedral rotation of DYDA leads to a non-radiative relaxation mechanism. The relevance of these findings with respect to the solid-state structures is also offered through analysis of the crystal packing in previously reported X-ray crystal structures.
It is recommended that further investigation be carried out on a larger set of chromophoric systems to further validate the presented workflow, validation of which will offer an informative predictive tool to be utilised in a product-to-reactant approach to the design of new fluorescent FFRs.

description: Mass timber buildings, constructed with engineered wood products, such as Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Glued Laminated Timber (Glulam), and Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), are gaining international popularity. Despite this trend, the robustness level and progressive collapse behaviour of these structures are not well understood, and design guidelines for their robust design are still limited. So far, research on these structures has primarily involved either experimental studies on scaled substructures or numerical analyses on full-scale multi-story buildings using unvalidated finite element (FE) models, often yielding contradictory results. This PhD research aims to bridge this knowledge gap by studying the behaviour of multistory post-and-beam mass timber buildings through FE models validated against experimental studies previously conducted at Griffith University. The robustness of such buildings is quantified, and dynamic increase factors (DIF) are determined for use in design with static analysis. Additionally, this study evaluates the accuracy of pseudostatic analysis as a cost-effective method for assessing progressive collapse and presents a comprehensive parametric study aimed at identifying measures to enhance their robustness, understanding alternative load-bearing mechanisms after column loss, and clarifying failure modes. The findings indicate that a post-and-beam mass timber building designed according to Australian national codes can meet robustness requirements under accidental design loads if average strength values are assigned to structural components. A DIF factor between 1.7 and 1.8 is recommended for the design of these structures. Contrary to general consensus, one-bay CLT panels can provide an effective alternative load path through torsion, exhibiting slightly greater robustness compared to configurations with two-bay continuous panels. The study also reveals that while enhancing beam-to-column connections may increase robustness, such modifications must be approached with caution as they can lead to column damage and extensive collapse.
The Energy Distribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The distribution of the apparent total energy emitted by a gamma-ray burst reflects not only the distribution of the energy actually released by the burst engine, but also the distribution of beaming angles. Using the observed energy fluences, the detection thresholds and burst redshifts for three burst samples, I calculate the best-fit parameters for lognormal and power-law distributions of the apparent total energy. Two of the samples include a small number of bursts with spectroscopic redshifts, while the third sample has 220 bursts with redshifts determined by the proposed variability-luminosity correlation. I find different sets of parameter values for the three burst samples. The Bayesian odds ratio cannot distinguish between the two model distribution functions for the two smaller burst samples with spectroscopic redshifts, but does favor the lognormal distribution for the larger sample with variability-derived redshifts. The data do not rule out a distribution with a low energy tail which is currently unobservable. I find that neglecting the burst detection threshold biases the fitted distribution to be narrower with a higher average value than the true distribution; this demonstrates the importance of determining and reporting the effective detection threshold for bursts in a sample.

description: This paper introduces empirical likelihood ratio tests for conditional moment models in which the unknown parameter contains infinite-dimensional components. We expand the results of Kitamura et al. (2004) and Tripathi and Kitamura (2003) by allowing unknown functions to be included in the conditional moment restrictions. We discusses (1) the limiting distribution of the sieve conditional empirical likelihood ratio (SCELR) test statistic for functionals of parameters under the null hypothesis and local alternatives; and (2) the limiting distribution of the SCELR test statistic for conditional moment restrictions (a consistent specification test) under the null hypothesis and local alternatives. A Monte Carlo study examines finite sample performance. We then apply these tests in an empirical application to construct confidence intervals for Engel curves and test restrictions on the curves.

description: Vacuum polarization of a massive scalar field in the background of a two-dimensional version of a spinning cosmic string is investigated. It is shown that when the `radius of the universe' is such that spacetime is globally hyperbolic the vacuum fluctuations are well behaved, diverging though on the `chronology horizon'. Naive use of the formulae when spacetime is nonglobally hyperbolic leads to unphysical results. It is also pointed out that the set of normal modes used previously in the literature to address the problem gives rise to two-point functions which do not have a Hadamard form, and therefore are not physically acceptable. Such normal modes correspond to a locally (but not globally) Minkowski time, which appears to be at first sight a natural choice of time to implement quantization.

Using bosonisation and re-fermionisation methods, we find a mapping to a Kondo-type problem which possesses a non-trivial Toulouse-type solvable point. At this point, we obtain an analytic expression for the non-linear current-voltage characteristics and analyse the differential conductance and the width of the resonance peak as functions of bias and gate voltages, temperature, and barrier asymmetry. We also determine the exact scaling function for the linear conductance.

description: In the years following the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, Ontario universities have made significant efforts towards integrating Indigenous perspectives into teacher-education programming. This research provides an in-depth analysis of how teacher candidates engage with Indigenous histories, cultures, and contemporary perspectives as part of their teacher-training. This project further seeks to describe whether/how teacher candidates envision integrating Indigenous perspectives into their future praxis. Using a case study methodology, this study draws data from both a focus group and individual interviews with teacher candidates at an Ontario university. Of the eight teacher candidates who participated in this research, seven are non-Indigenous, and one self-identifies as being of First Nations heritage. Using a thematic analysis, this study examines three themes. First, a highly racialized conceptualization of settler identities is observed among teacher candidates. While this positioning recognizes the dominance of White Canadians, it implicitly excludes People of Colour from their rightful place within the reconciliation process. The second theme in this research concerns the efficacy of teacher-education programming in addressing knowledge gaps and discriminatory discourses. The potential of teacher-education as a catalyst of systemic change highlights the role of education in Canada’s reconciliation process. Finally, teacher candidates express significant concerns regarding integrating Indigenous knowledges, pedagogies, histories, and cultures into their future teaching praxis. In particular, they report feeling inadequately prepared to teach Indigenous perspectives without further knowledge and training. This research thus advocates for the continued facilitation of personal relationships between teacher candidates and Indigenous peoples, and the absolution of imperfection. While education has long been used to marginalize and control Indigenous peoples, this research examines how it can be repurposed as a tool of reconciliation and healing.

description: We have obtained accurate CCD narrow band H_beta and H_alpha photometry of Giant HII Regions in M 33, NGC 6822 and M 101. Comparison with previous determinations of emission line fluxes show large discrepancies; their probable origins are discussed. Combining our new photometric data with global velocity dispersion (sigma) derived from emission line widths we have reviewed the L(H_beta)-sigma relation. A reanalysis of the properties of the GEHRs included in our sample shows that age spread and the superposition of components in multiple regions introduce a considerable spread in the regression. Combining the information available in the literature regarding ages of the associated clusters, evolutionary footprints on the interstellar medium, and kinematical properties of the knots that build up the multiple GEHRs, we have found that a subsample - which we refer to as young and single GEHRs - do follow a tight relation in the L-sigma plane.

description: We define a laminar branched surface to be a branched surface satisfying the following conditions: (1) Its horizontal boundary is incompressible; (2) there is no monogon; (3) there is no Reeb component; (4) there is no sink disk (after eliminating trivial bubbles in the branched surface). The first three conditions are standard in the theory of branched surfaces, and a sink disk is a disk branch of the branched surface with all branch directions of its boundary arcs pointing inwards. We will show in this paper that every laminar branched surface carries an essential lamination, and any essential lamination that is not a lamination by planes is carried by a laminar branched surface. This implies that a 3-manifold contains an essential lamination if and only if it contains a laminar branched surface.

Innermost circular orbit of binary black holes at the third post-Newtonian approximation

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The equations of motion of two point masses have recently been derived at the 3PN approximation of general relativity. From that work we determine the location of the innermost circular orbit or ICO, defined by the minimum of the binary's 3PN energy as a function of the orbital frequency for circular orbits. We find that the post-Newtonian series converges well for equal masses. Spin effects appropriate to corotational black-hole binaries are included. We compare the result with a recent numerical calculation of the ICO in the case of two black holes moving on exactly circular orbits (helical symmetry). The agreement is remarkably good, indicating that the 3PN approximation is adequate to locate the ICO of two black holes with comparable masses. This conclusion is reached with the post-Newtonian expansion expressed in the standard Taylor form, without using resummation techniques such as Padé approximants and/or effective-one-body methods.

description: The thermal structure of neutron stars with magnetized envelopes is studied using modern physics input. The relation between the internal (T_i) and local surface temperatures is calculated and fitted by analytic expressions for magnetic field strengths B from 0 to 10^{16} G and arbitrary inclination of the field lines to the surface. The luminosity of a neutron star with dipole magnetic field is calculated and fitted as a function of B, T_i, stellar mass and radius. In addition, we simulate cooling of neutron stars with magnetized envelopes. In particular, we analyse ultramagnetized envelopes of magnetars and also the effects of the magnetic field of the Vela pulsar on the determination of critical temperatures of neutron and proton superfluids in its core.

Our data provide evidence for the simplest shear-banding scenario, according to which the effective viscosity drop in the system is due to the nucleation and growth of a highly sheared band in the gap, whose thickness linearly increases with the imposed shear rate. We discuss various details of the velocity profiles in all the regions of the flow curve and emphasize on the complex, non-Newtonian nature of the flow in the highly sheared band.

description: The requirement that a (non-Einstein) Kähler metric in any given complex dimension $m>2$ be almost-everywhere conformally Einstein turns out to be much more restrictive, even locally, than in the case of complex surfaces. The local biholomorphic-isometry types of such metrics depend, for each $m>2$, on three real parameters along with an arbitrary Kähler-Einstein metric $h$ in complex dimension $m-1$. We provide an explicit description of all these local-isometry types, for any given $h$. That result is derived from a more general local classification theorem for metrics admitting functions we call {\it special Kähler-Ricci potentials}.

So sind die jährlichen Exporte von Schweizer Textilmaschinen seit 1990 nominal von über 2,9 Milliarden Schweizer Franken auf etwa 500 Millionen im Jahr 2023 gesunken (siehe Abbildung).Seit den 1960er-Jahren verlagert sich die Textilproduktion aufgrund der tieferen Lohnkosten kontinuierlich nach Asien und damit auch die Textilmaschinenherstellung. Im Premium-Markt, der sich auf Textilien mit einer sehr hohen Qualität konzentriert, dominieren Schweizer Textilmaschinenhersteller auch heute noch in einigen Sektoren: zum Beispiel Rieter bei Spinn- und Webmaschinen, Steiger bei Strickmaschinen, Autefa[1] in der Vlies-Technik, Uster und Gebrüder Loepfe in der Qualitätskontrolle von Stoffen und Garnen. Der Premium-Markt sichert weiterhin gute Gewinnmargen. Der generelle Marktanteilsverlust führt aber zum Verlust der kritischen Grösse, um ausreichend Umsatz und Gewinne für die Weiterentwicklung zu generieren. Eine Marktexpansion in den Midrange-Markt könnte die Lösung für Schweizer Textilmaschinenhersteller sein.

description: Antiferromagnets have been generating intense interest in the spintronics community, owing to their intrinsic appealing properties like zero stray field and ultrafast spin dynamics. While the control of antiferromagnetic (AFM) orders has been realized by various means, applicably appreciated functionalities on the readout side of AFM-based devices are urgently desired. Here, we report the remarkably enhanced anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) as giant as ~ 160% in a simple resistor structure made of AFM Sr2IrO4 without auxiliary reference layer. The underlying mechanism for the giant AMR is an indispensable combination of atomic scale giant-MR-like effect and magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy, which was not accessed earlier. Furthermore, we demonstrate the bistable nonvolatile memory states that can be switched in-situ without the inconvenient heat-assisted procedure, and robustly preserved even at zero magnetic field, due to the modified interlayer coupling by 1% Ga-doping in Sr2IrO4. These findings represent a straightforward step toward the AFM spintronic devices.

This 'signal-locality theorem' generalises yet another feature of the pilot-wave theory of de Broglie and Bohm, for which it is already known that signal-locality is true only in equilibrium. Assuming certain symmetries, lower bounds are derived on the 'degree of nonlocality' of the singlet state, defined as the (equilibrium) fraction of outcomes at one wing of an EPR-experiment that change in response to a shift in the distant angular setting. It is shown by explicit calculation that these bounds are satisfied by pilot-wave theory. The degree of nonlocality is interpreted as the average number of bits of 'subquantum information' transmitted superluminally, for an equilibrium ensemble. It is proposed that this quantity might provide a novel measure of the entanglement of a quantum state, and that the field of quantum information would benefit from a more explicit hidden-variables approach. It is argued that the signal-locality theorem supports the hypothesis, made elsewhere, that in the remote past the universe relaxed to a state of statistical equilibrium at the hidden-variable level, a state in which nonlocality happens to be masked by quantum noise.

description: Canada’s international trade landscape under which the Canadian beef industry must operate may change in important ways in the near future. The Trans Pacific partnership agreement provided additional opportunities for the beef industry, but those may now represent opportunities forgone in the wake of the recent US election. During the US election, there were explicit references to either renegotiating NAFTA or “tearing it up”. This thesis provides an analysis of the various possible effects on Canadian beef trade based on a variety of trade agreement outcome scenarios. The partial equilibrium Global Simulation Analysis (GSIM) model (Francois and Hall,2003) was adapted to undertake the analysis. This single product, multi-region model provided trade and welfare results that can be compared between scenarios that depend upon the retaining of NAFTA and the potential evolution of the TPP.Le paysage de commerce international dans lequel doit opérer l'industrie canadienne du bœuf pourrait changer de manière importante dans un avenir très rapproché. Le Partenariat transpacifique fournit des occasions supplémentaires pour l'industrie du bœuf qui pourraient maintenant devenir des occasions manquées étant donné les récentes élections américaines. Durant cette élection, la possibilité de modifier ou d'annuler l'ALENA a été soulevée explicitement. Cette thèse fournit une analyse des effets possibles de divers scénarios de dénouement concernant les ententes de commerce sur l'industrie du bœuf canadien. Le modèle d'équilibre partiel d'analyse de simulation mondiale (François et Hall, 2003) a été adapté afin d'entreprendre cette analyse. Ce modèle multirégion à produit unique fournit des résultats sur le commerce et le bien-être pouvant être comparés aux scénarios qui dépendent du maintien de l'ALENA et l'évolution potentielle du PTP.

description: Spectra of late-type stars are usually analyzed with static model atmospheres in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and a homogeneous plane-parallel or spherically symmetric geometry. The energy balance requires particular attention, as two elements which are particularly difficult to model play an important role: line blanketing and convection. Inversion techniques are able to bypass the difficulties of a detailed description of the energy balance. Assuming that the atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium and LTE, it is possible to constrain its structure from spectroscopic observations. Among the most serious approximations still implicit in the method is a static and homogeneous geometry. In this paper, we take advantage of a realistic three-dimensional radiative hydrodynamical simulation of the solar surface to check the systematic errors incurred by an inversion assuming a plane-parallel horizontally-homogeneous atmosphere. The thermal structure recovered resembles the spatial and time average of the three-dimensional atmosphere. Furthermore, the abundances retrieved are typically within 10% (0.04 dex) of the abundances used to construct the simulation. The application to a fairly complete dataset from the solar spectrum provides further confidence in previous analyses of the solar composition. There is only a narrow range of one-dimensional thermal structures able to fit the absorption lines in the spectrum of the Sun. With our carefully selected dataset, random errors are about a factor of two smaller than systematic errors. A small number of strong metal lines can provide very reliable results. We foresee no major difficulty in applying the technique to other similar stars, and obtaining similar accuracies, using spectra with a resolving power about 50,000 and a signal-to-noise ratio as low as 30.

description: Genomics has emerged as a promising biotechnology for its ability to predict and aid in selection of more productive livestock. More recently, the ability to use genomics to select for increased feed efficiency in dairy cattle has been developed. As feed represents the highest variable cost for Canadian dairy producers the potential benefit from on-farm adoption could be substantial. Furthermore, as methane emissions are highly correlated with feed intake, adoption has the potential to significantly reduce the environmental footprint of Canadian dairy operations. Despite this, little is known about the economic implications and if there are potential barriers to adoption. Using a dynamic multi-year enterprise budgeting model we will estimate the benefits from adoption and identify potential barriers. Preliminary results indicate an increase in NPV of roughly $140,000 over twenty-five years from an 8.4% reduction in feed intake due to genomic technology adoption. La génomique est apparue comme une biotechnologie prometteuse pour sa capacité à prédire et à aider lors de la sélection d'un cheptel plus productif. Plus récemment, la capacité d'utiliser la génomique pour sélectionner un indice de consommation supérieur pour les bovins laitiers a été développée. Puisque l'alimentation représente le coût variable le plus élevé pour les producteurs laitiers canadiens, le bénéfice potentiel de l'adoption dans la ferme peut s'avérer considérable. En outre, puisque les émissions de méthane sont hautement corrélées avec la quantité d'aliments ingérés, cette adoption a le potentiel de réduire significativement l'empreinte environnementale des exploitations laitières canadiennes. Malgré cela, les implications économiques sont peu connues et il existe de potentiels obstacles à son adoption. En utilisant un modèle pluriannuel dynamique de prévisions budgétaires d'entreprise, nous avons estimé les avantages de l'adoption et identifié les obstacles potentiels. Les résultats préliminaires indiquent une augmentation de la VAN d'environ 140 000 $ sur vingt-cinq ans provenant d'une diminution de 8,4 % des apports alimentaires due à l'adoption de la technologie génomique.

description: C’est en 2001 en Europe qu’a été élaboré le Cadre Européen Commun de Référence (CECR), pour réformer la façon d’enseigner et d’évaluer l’apprentissage d’une langue étrangère en introduisant deux concepts majeurs, soit l’approche actionnelle, à dessein de rendre concret l’apprentissage de la L2, et le plurilinguisme, afin de permettre l’intégration du bagage sociolinguistique de l’apprenant. Le Canada, pays bilingue où sont enseignés le français langue seconde (FLS) et l’anglais langue seconde (ALS), n’est pas imperméable à ces influences extérieures. C’est ainsi que cette thèse s’est penchée sur l’étude des curriculums de FLS du Canada à la lumière de l’intégration de l’approche actionnelle et du plurilinguisme. Pour ce faire, nous avons rassemblé l’ensemble des curriculums qui étaient tous disponibles en ligne. Puis, en nous basant sur le modèle d’analyse de contenu de Van der Maren (2004), nous avons minutieusement parcouru ces documents en comptabilisant l’ensemble des unités de sens correspondant aux sous-concepts composant les deux piliers conceptuels du CECR. Les bilans générés pour chaque curriculum nous ont permis d’établir des tendances à l’échelle pancanadienne en ce qui a trait à l’intégration conceptuelle de chaque sous-concept, et, ultimement, des deux concepts principaux. Ainsi, nous avons observé que la majorité des curriculums se voient plus imprégnés de l’esprit de l’approche actionnelle que de celui du plurilinguisme. À cet égard, nous avons même noté une asymétrie conceptuelle notoire. En outre, les curriculums de FLS canadiens affichent une certaine flexibilité quant à l’intégration de la culture de l’apprenant dans le processus d’apprentissage de la L2, mais non de sa langue première. De ce fait, les curriculums de FLS au Canada établissent, dans l’ensemble, une distinction claire entre la langue cible et la langue première dans le processus d’apprentissage du FLS, et ce, en dépit du profil sociolinguistique de plus en plus diversifié du Canada moderne.

description: Water security is fundamental to the sustainable economic development of countries. Ensuring sufficient and good quality water for the population and the freshwater ecosystem (Sustainable Development Goal 6 - Clean Water and Sanitation) is interconnected with other SDGs, and failure to achieve SDG6 may affect the achievement of other sustainable goals. Policymakers always face the dual challenge of meeting human and environmental water security. The economic developments and land use transformation on a river basin scale, combined with the impact of climate change on water resource systems, intensify the human and ecosystem threats to the catchments. Accelerated investments are required to mitigate these risks to human and environmental water security, stemming from many anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic factors. With the rise in water-hard infrastructure investment costs, particularly in developing countries' river basins, it is challenging to meet the investment needs. There is a knowledge gap in pinpointing priority areas and optimal timing for investment, which can allow the reduction of the risks in a cost-minimised way. This thesis aimed to develop an Economic Water Security Assessment Modelling framework to assess and track water security threats and assets in a river basin and construct an optimal spatial and temporal pathway of investments to mitigate these risks, illustrating a case study in Brazil and Australia. The thesis adds value to the water resources planning and management on a river basin scale because provides information to improve the steps of water resources planning, The method presents a better understanding of the water security vulnerabilities influenced by climate change and the ideal spatial and temporal distribution of water investments, contributing with the optimal distribution allocation of the financial resources available.
