description: For mobile robots to be effectively applied to real world unstructured environments -- such as large scale farming -- they require the ability to generate adaptive plans that account both for limited onboard resources, and the presence of dynamic changes, including nearby moving individuals. This work provides a real world empirical evaluation of our proposed hierarchical framework for long-term autonomy of field robots, conducted on University of Sydney's Swagbot agricultural robot platform. We demonstrate the ability of the framework to navigate an unstructured and dynamic environment in an effective manner, validating its use for long-term deployment in large scale farming, for tasks such as autonomous weeding in the presence of moving individuals.

description: Wastewater treatment plants employ an energetically costly aerobic unit process to remove organic matter from municipal wastewater; this process is known as activated sludge. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) present an anaerobic, energy-saving approach to wastewater treatment that results in electricity generation. However, MFCs are often limited by internal resistance from membrane fouling and slow cathodic oxygen reduction.

This work examined an option to overcome these limitations-- adapting membrane-less sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) for use with wastewater as an organic substrate by using floating carbon cloth air cathodes coated with an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst. The performance of a platinum ORR catalyst at the cathode was compared to a manganese dioxide ORR catalyst and several additional cathode materials and reactor configurations were tested to optimize SMFC performance. The MnO2 catalyst, though significantly cheaper than platinum, was unable to sustain consistent high cathode potentials in wastewater over time.

description: The three-dimensional instability of two coupled electromagnetic waves in an unmagnetized plasma is investigated theoretically and numerically. In the regime of two-plasmon decay, where one pump wave frequency is approximately twice the electron plasma frequency, we find that the coupled pump waves give rise to enhanced instability with wave vectors between those of the two beams. In the case of ion parametric decay instability, where the pump wave decays into one Langmuir wave and one ion acoustic wave, the instability regions are added with no distinct amplification. Our investigation can be useful in interpreting laser-plasma as well as ionospheric heating experiments.

Beyond 2D: a scalable and highly sensitive method for comprehensive 3D analysis of kidney biopsy tissue
Creators: name: Hiroyuki Yamada
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The spatial organization of various cell populations is critical for the major physiological and pathological processes in the kidneys. Most evaluation of those processes typically comes from a conventional 2D tissue cross-section, visualizing a limited amount of cell organization. Therefore, the 2D analysis of kidney biopsy introduces selection bias. The 2D analysis potentially omits key pathological findings outside a 1-10μm thin sectioned area and lacks information on tissue organization, especially in a particular irregular structure such as crescentic glomeruli. Here, we introduce an easy-to-use and scalable method for obtaining high-quality images of molecules of interest in a large tissue volume, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of the 3D organization and cellular composition of kidney tissue, especially the glomerular structure. We showed that CUBIC and ScaleS clearing protocols could allow a 3D analysis of the kidney tissues in human and animal models of kidney disease. We also demonstrated that used paraffin-embedded human biopsy specimens previously examined via 2D evaluation could be applicable to 3D analysis, showing a potential utilization of this method in kidney biopsy tissue collected in the past. In summary, the 3D analysis of kidney biopsy provides a more comprehensive analysis and a minimized selection bias than 2D tissue analysis. Additionally, this method enables a quantitative evaluation of particular kidney structures and their surrounding tissues, with potential utilization from basic science investigation to applied diagnostic in nephrology.
title: Fiction and its objects
Creators: name: Watkins, Ashley Everett
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2020

description: This thesis develops a metaphysics of fictional objects that is embedded in a theory of fictional practice and maximally preserves the meanings of our fictional utterances. I begin by asking two questions: How can it be true of a fictional object such as Dune's Paul Atreides that he was born on the planet Caladan to the Lady Jessica (an intrafictional claim), that he was created on Earth by Frank Herbert (an extrafictional claim), and that he does not exist (a nonexistence claim)? If one or more of these is not true, then what is the nature of our assent to these three types of propositions about fictional objects? I argue that fiction's social nature and its basis in imaginative acts provides us with a dualist account of fictional objects: 'Paul Atreides' in the intrafictional and nonexistence claims refers to merely possible people while 'Paul Atreides' in extrafictional claims refers to an actual abstract artifact. I defend imagination's central role in fiction and argue that it's a norm of imagination that it models possibilities. I then define fiction as a social practice necessarily consisting in 1) acts of social imagining, 2) agreement maintained by implicit principles, 3) an aesthetic function or aim, and 4) the creation of abstract artifacts through which it achieves that aim. The result is that intrafictional claims are not assertions about the actual world, but expressions of imaginings that have as their intentional objects possible objects and states of affairs. Extrafictional claims are assertions about the actual abstract artifacts created by fictional practice that bear a picking out relation to the possibilia of fictive imaginings. Finally, nonexistence claims are assertions about the possibilia of our fictive imaginings - assertions that they are not actual. I defend the compatibility of these artifactualist and possibilist accounts and show how their union under the umbrella of a full theory of fiction both explains their intuitive appeal and solves the major issues they encounter individually.

Here we explore the idea that such flares are produced when the central black hole tidally captures and disrupts a small body - e.g. a comet or an asteroid.

description: The classical output theorem for the M/M/1 queue, due to Burke (1956), states that the departure process from a stationary M/M/1 queue, in equilibrium, has the same law as the arrivals process, that is, it is a Poisson process. In this paper we show that the associated measure-preserving transformation is metrically isomorphic to a two-sided Bernoulli shift. We also discuss some extensions of Burke's theorem where it remains an open problem to determine if, or under what conditions, the analogue of this result holds.

description: We re-analyse all of the archive observations of the Ophiuchus dark cloud L1688 that were carried out with the submillimetre common-user bolometer array (SCUBA) at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). For the first time we put together all of the data that were taken of this cloud at different times to make a deeper map at 850 microns than has ever previously been published. Using this new, deeper map we extract the pre-stellar cores from the data. We use updated values for the distance to the cloud complex, and also for the internal temperatures of the pre-stellar cores to generate an updated core mass function (CMF). This updated CMF is consistent with previous results in so far as they went, but our deeper map gives an improved completeness limit of 0.1 Mo (0.16 Jy), which enables us to show that a turnover exists in the low-mass regime of the CMF. The L1688 CMF shows the same form as the stellar IMF and can be mapped onto the stellar IMF, showing that the IMF is determined at the prestellar core stage. We compare L1688 with the Orion star-forming region and find that the turnover in the L1688 CMF occurs at a mass roughly a factor of two lower than the CMF turnover in Orion. This suggests that the position of the CMF turnover may be a function of environment.

description: We theoretically propose an experimentally viable scheme to use an impurity atom in a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), in order to probe analogue low-energy Lorentz violation from the modified dispersion at high energies as suggested by quantum theories of gravity. We show that the density fluctuations in the dipolar BEC possess a Lorentz-violating Bogoliubov spectrum $ω_\mathbf{k}=c_0|\mathbf{k}|f(c_0|\mathbf{k}|/M_\star)$, with recovery of approximate Lorentz invariance (LI) at energy scales much below $M_\star$. When $f$ is adjusted to dip below unity somewhere, the impurity, analogously dipole coupled to the density fluctuations, experiences analogue drastic Lorentz violation at arbitrarily low energies, reproducing the same responds of Unruh-DeWitt detector to Lorentz-violating quantum fields. Being a fundamentally quantum mechanical device, our quantum fluid platform provides an experimentally realizable test field to verify whether the effective low energy theory can reveal unexpected imprints of the theory's high energy structure, in quantum field theory.

description: Bioanalytical THz sensing techniques have proven to be an interesting and viable tool for the label-free detection and analysis of biomolecules. However, a major challenge for THz bioanalytics is to perform investigations in the native aqueous environments of the analytes. This review recapitulates the status and future requirements for establishing THz biosensing as a complementary toolbox in the repertoire of standard bioanalytic methods. The potential use in medical research and clinical diagnosis is discussed. Under these considerations, this article presents a comprehensive categorization of biochemically relevant analytes that have been investigated by THz sensing techniques in aqueous media. The detectable concentration levels of ions, carbohydrates, (poly-)nucleotides, active agents, proteins and different biomacromolecules from THz experiments are compared to characteristic physiological concentrations and lower detection limits of state-of-the-art bioanalytical methods. Finally, recent experimental developments and achievements are discussed, which potentially pave the way for THz analysis of biomolecules under clinically relevant conditions.
Between Secrecy and Transparency: Conversions to Protestantism Among Iranian Refugees in Germany
Creators: name: Stadlbauer, Susanne
Publisher: name: Entangled Religions
Year: 2019

description: Present-day scholarship on religious conversions diverts from classic Protestant paradigms of sudden conversions and instant transformations of the self. Instead, it stresses that converts make active choices that are influenced by specific contexts and historical changes. This becomes evident in an ethnographic study of one controversial aspect of the recent refugee influx in Germany: the so-called mass conversions of Iranian refugees from Shia Islam to Christianity, which have been highly publicized and criticized since the height of immigration in 2015. The analysis draws on interview data with Iranian refugee converts and their pastors in Protestant churches in North Rhine-Westphalia between October 2017 and January 2018. The study reveals the need to theorize the symbiotic connection between religious contacts, forced migration, and conversion to Christianity. It applies Rambo’s (1993) stage model of conversion and the analytical concept of secrecy (Jones 2014, Manderson et al. 2015, Simmel 1906) to demonstrate that the Iranian refugees’ conversions are shaped by contexts, crises, encounters, quests, interactions, commitments, and consequences (Rambo 1993) as they negotiate the forces of secrecy, risk, transparency, and the benefits of being a Christian. The goal of this paper is to find thematic patterns in their narratives that can be systematized and can build a foundation for further study.

ASEAN's diplomatic strategy after the Vietnamese invasion of Kampuchea
Creators: name: Darmono, Juanita Amanda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the diplomatic strategy adopted by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in response to the 1978 Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia and the subsequent shift in the regional distribution of power with regard to the security of the ASEAN nations. I argue that ASEAN has demonstrated considerable success in preventing a collapse of regional order in Southeast Asia. It is important to understand that ASEAN is a product and tool of its members' foreign policy and should therefore be assessed in the foreign policy, rather than in the regional integrationist, context. This will be examined from the point of view of a group of relatively weak, insignificant states within the international arena, historically plagued by conflict and intervention by external powers, exacerbated by a history of intra-regional enmity rather than cooperation, military weakness, and no collective tradition of diplomatic expertise. Yet, despite these shortcomings and ASEAN's previous inability to come together on issues of economic integration, ASEAN's response to the Third Indochina conflict has allowed its member nations to maintain their independence, preserve their freedom of action, rally international support, and confront the great powers involved in this issue through the use of a regional organization. This thesis will also counter the prevailing view that existing intra-ASEAN differences regarding the primary external threat in the issue (namely Vietnam, China or the Soviet Union) have seriously divided its members to the point of potentially threatening the organization's existence. Instead, I will argue that the combination of ASEAN's curious mode of "conflict resolution" through "conflict avoidance", as well as its diplomatic "division of labour," have effectively incorporated existing intra-ASEAN differences as bargaining assets for the organization's political viability. These internal cleavages have been far from resolved or reconciled, but rather skirted over by a web of unwritten laws, implicit rules and mutual understandings regarding one another's accepted role within the organization. This implicit "regime" has served several purposes: it has allowed ASEAN to sustain its image of unity, boosted its political visability in the international forum, and prevented the "loss of face" of fellow members on points of contention. Research for this thesis was conducted in part at the ASEAN Secretariat and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Jakarta, and the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) in Singapore.

description: Just as a coherent state may be considered as a quantum point, its restriction to a factor space of the full Hilbert space can be interpreted as a quantum plane. The overlap of such a factor coherent state with a full pure state is akin to a quantum section. It defines a reduced pure state in the cofactor Hilbert space. The collection of all the Wigner functions corresponding to a full set of parallel quantum sections defines the Husimi-Wigner reresentation. It occupies an intermediate ground between drastic suppression of nonclassical features, characteristic of Husimi functions, and the daunting complexity of higher dimensional Wigner functions. After analysing these features for simpler states, we exploit this new representation as a probe of numerically computed eigenstates of chaotic Hamiltonians. The individual two-dimensional Wigner functions resemble those of semiclassically quantized states, but the regular ring pattern is broken by dislocations.

The co-ordination of light rapid transit and land-use : an examination of the institutional framework in Edmonton
Creators: name: Hammermeister, James Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Land use and transportation are dynamic processes continually reacting to the pressures of urban development and societal change. Although the theoretical literature supports the notion that land use and transportation should be planned and managed in a co-ordinated fashion, the empirical evidence suggests that land use and transportation decisions are still made largely independent of each other. The thesis maintains that an emphasis on the substantive approach in the planning process has led to a misunderstanding of the manner in which the institutional framework can influence the co-ordinated development of land use and transportation. Several institutional factors are involved including; the organizational framework, the process of integration within the framework, and the strategies developed to implement societal goals and objectives. Specific concerns include; fragmentation of authority, lack of authority, a reactive planning process, and the lack of formal mechanisms for implementation. An adaptive, process-oriented model of institutional integration is proposed that blends two elements of an effective planning process: the co-ordinated development of land use and transportation and the integration of organizational components within the institutional framework. The thesis suggests that one cannot successfully implement strategic change without making compensating and reinforcing changes to the process and structure. The degree of risk and uncertainty within the environment is the qualifying factor that maintains a proper 'fit' within the planning process. The latter part of the thesis examines the institutional framework responsible for the development of the City of Edmonton's Northeast light rapid transit system. The analysis reveals that although rapid transit was seen as a means of accomplishing compact growth and development little redevelopment has occurred along the transit corridor, particularly at the level envisaged by the city planners. A number of institutional factors have contributed to the lack of development including; a dynamic and complex environment, a reactive planning process, the lack of formal integrative mechanisms, separate and, at times, independent land use and transportation planning processes, and disincentives towards redevelopment such as the redevelopment levy and zoning freeze. The application of the integrated institutional model suggests the need for a number of integrative mechanisms that were not evident within the institutional framework responsible for Edmonton's light rapid transit system. The study reveals that the institutional framework influences the effectiveness of land use planning along a rapid transit corridor and that integrative mechanisms are required within the planning process in order to effectively co-ordinate the development of land use and transportation.

description: We argue that light sails that are rapidly accelerated to relativistic velocities by lasers must be significantly curved in order to reduce their mechanical stresses and avoid tears. Using an integrated opto-thermo-mechanical model, we show that the diameter and radius of curvature of a circular light sail should be comparable in magnitude, both on the order of a few meters in optimal designs for gram-scale payloads. Moreover, when sufficient laser power is available, a sail's acceleration length decreases and its chip payload capacity increases as its curvature increases. Our findings provide guidance for emerging light sail design programs, which herald a new era of interstellar space exploration.

description: First principles calculations of the O surfaces of Co-ZnO show that substitutional Co ions develop large magnetic moments which long-range coupling depends on their mutual distance. The local spin polarization induced at the O atoms is three times larger at the surface than in the bulk, and the surface stability is considerably reinforced by Co. Moreover, a robust ferromagnetic state is predicted at the Oxygen (0001) surface even in the absence of magnetic atoms. The occurrence of surface magnetic moments correlates with the number of {\it p}-holes in the valence band of the oxide, and the distribution of the magnetic charge is, even in the absence of spin-orbit interaction, highly anisotropic.

We establish the Fermi liquid (FL) laws in the clean limit, taking into account the quasiparticle damping. The latter yields a reduced value of the Lorenz number in the Wiedemann-Franz law. Our results indicate that the renormalization of the thermal conductivity and of the Seebeck coefficient can lead to a substantial enhancement of the electronic thermoelectric figure-of-merit at low temperature. Using the FL laws we discuss the low-temperature anomalies that show up in the electrical resistance of the intermetallic compounds with Cerium and Ytterbium ions, when studied as a function of pressure. Our calculations explain the sharp maximum of the coefficient of the $T^2$-term of the electrical resistance and the rapid variation of residual resistance found in a number of Ce and Yb intermetallics at some critical pressure.

description: Graph measures that express closeness or distance between nodes can be employed for graph nodes clustering using metric clustering algorithms. There are numerous measures applicable to this task, and which one performs better is an open question. We study the performance of 25 graph measures on generated graphs with different parameters. While usually measure comparisons are limited to general measure ranking on a particular dataset, we aim to explore the performance of various measures depending on graph features. Using an LFR graph generator, we create a dataset of 11780 graphs covering the whole LFR parameter space. For each graph, we assess the quality of clustering with k-means algorithm for each considered measure. Based on this, we determine the best measure for each area of the parameter space. We find that the parameter space consists of distinct zones where one particular measure is the best. We analyze the geometry of the resulting zones and describe it with simple criteria. Given particular graph parameters, this allows us to recommend a particular measure to use for clustering.

description: We report a 92 channel RF channelizer based on a 48.9 GHz integrated micro-comb that operates via soliton crystals, together with a passive high-Q ring resonator that acts as a periodic filter with an optical 3dB bandwidth of 121.4 MHz. We obtain an instant RF bandwidth of 8.08 GHz and 17.55 GHz achieved through temperature tuning. These results represent a major advance to achieving fully integrated photonic RF spectrum channelizers with reduced low complexity, size, and high performance for digital-compatible signal detection and broadband analog signal processing.

Subjects: range accrual, callable range accrual, valuation

description: A callable range accrual note contains an embedded option that allows the issuer to exercise a call on the note on a particular date or set of dates prior to maturity. This can be used by the issuer to limit the return that is paid to the note holder. On these exercise dates, the issuer may purchase the note back from the holder for a predetermined cash amount, which is typically equal to or greater than the face value of the note.

On the Enormous Effect of Electric Field on the Crystalline Lattice of the Conductors with Charge-Density Waves

description: We discuss deformation of quasi 1-dimensional conductors with charge-density wave (CDW) under the electric field deforming the CDW. In case of ``strong'' CDW-lattice interaction the effect can be treated in terms of the converse piezoelectric effect with enormous piezomodulus, $\sim L_c/λ$ times larger than that in ionic crystals ($λ$ is the CDW wavelength, $L_c$ is the CDW coherence length, mm scale in the sliding state). The CDW-lattice interaction is likely to be defined by the interband charge transfer (rearrangement of the covalent bonds) with lattice deformation, possible in a number of CDW compounds. The resulting effects, observed or expected, are paving a way towards new-principle actuators, including nanosized ones.

Phase Transition in a Random Minima Model: Mean Field Theory and Exact Solution on the Bethe Lattice

description: We consider the number and distribution of minima in random landscapes defined on non-Euclidean lattices. Using an ensemble where random landscapes are reweighted by a fugacity factor $z$ for each minimum they contain, we construct first a `two-box' mean field theory. This exhibits an ordering phase transition at $z\c=2$ above which one box contains an extensive number of minima. The onset of order is governed by an unusual order parameter exponent $β=1$, motivating us to study the same model on the Bethe lattice. Here we find from an exact solution that for any connectivity $μ+1>2$ there is an ordering transition with a conventional mean field order parameter exponent $β=1/2$, but with the region where this behaviour is observable shrinking in size as $1/μ$ in the mean field limit of large $μ$. We show that the behaviour in the transition region can also be understood directly within a mean field approach, by making the assignment of minima `soft'. Finally we demonstrate, in the simplest mean field case, how the analysis can be generalized to include both maxima and minima. In this case an additional first order phase transition appears, to a landscape in which essentially all sites are either minima or maxima.

description: In this work, we present a theoretical study of a quantum dot-microcavity system which includes a constant magnetic field in the growth direction of the micropillar. First, we study the zero temperature case by means of a selfconsistent procedure with a trial function composed by a coherent photon field and a BCS function for the electron-hole pairs. The dependence of the ground-state energy on the magnetic field and the number of polaritons is found. We show that the magnetic field can be used as a control parameter of the photon number, and we make explicit the scaling of the total energy with the number of polaritons. Next, we study this problem at finite temperatures and obtain the scaling of the critical temperature with the number of polaritons.

description: As most of the modern astronomical sky surveys produce data faster than humans can analyze it, Machine Learning (ML) has become a central tool in Astronomy. Modern ML methods can be characterized as highly resistant to some experimental errors. However, small changes on the data over long distances or long periods of time, which cannot be easily detected by statistical methods, can be harmful to these methods. We develop a new strategy to cope with this problem, also using ML methods in an innovative way, to identify these potentially harmful features. We introduce and discuss the notion of Drifting Features, related with small changes in the properties as measured in the data features. We use the identification of RRLs in VVV based on an earlier work and introduce a method for detecting Drifting Features. Our method forces a classifier to learn the tile of origin of diverse sources (mostly stellar 'point sources'), and select the features more relevant to the task of finding candidates to Drifting Features. We show that this method can efficiently identify a reduced set of features that contains useful information about the tile of origin of the sources. For our particular example of detecting RRLs in VVV, we find that Drifting Features are mostly related to color indices. On the other hand, we show that, even if we have a clear set of Drifting Features in our problem, they are mostly insensitive to the identification of RRLs. Drifting Features can be efficiently identified using ML methods. However, in our example, removing Drifting Features does not improve the identification of RRLs.
