description: My object of inquiry and main artistic muse is human hair. Through a research-based interdisciplinary practice, I am investigating hair as an art material. I am drawn to connect with hair as an energetic object, a vibrant material made of human cells, one that retains the energy of its human host even after it is physically disconnected. Using the techniques of stop motion animation, solar printing, assemblage, and interdisciplinary craft, I explore methods for collaborating with and expressing the vital energy of hair, as defined by Jane Bennett in the book Vibrant Matter. Hair has been widely used in ritual and art throughout history and possesses a supernatural potential. It also carries immense social and political weight. With this in mind, I approach this work with care and conscientiousness. In this practice, I draw upon the spiritualist movement, my matrilineage of craft, the histories of craftspeople who have also worked with hair in the production of ritual objects, and my generous hair donors.

description: Abstract: Many cities are vulnerable to flooding due to their high proportion of impervious sur-faces and lack of vegetated land cover. This vulnerability will often be exacerbated by changing rainfall and storm patterns due to climate change. Using the principles of urban biomimicry, this study aims to show an ecosystem service-based approach to designing an urban green infra-structure network for stormwater management in densely built areas that more closely emulates natural hydrology processes. Nature Braid (formerly LUCI) is an ecosystem services assessment tool that was used to simulate flood mitigation ecosystem services in a 13.7 km2 urban water catchment in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. The simulation results revealed that 59% of the catchment does not contain or benefit from flood-mitigating land cover features. Adding 0.6 km2 (4% of the catchment) of green roofs alongside major stormwater flow paths resulted in a nearly three-fold decrease (-11%) in the non-mitigated flooding area. These results suggest that green roofs could help manage stormwater and mitigate flooding in the densely built areas of the catchment. Ecosystem service assessment tools, like Nature Braid, can help inform the design of more regenerative and resilient urban green infrastructure networks that help mitigate climate change impacts on urban residents.

Anomalous adventures - searching for anomalies at the Large Hadron Collider and in outer space
Creators: name: Hallin, Anna
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: In particle physics, anomalies in data from collider experiments may provide clues about potentially unknown particles and phenomena. However, most searches at for example the Large Hadron Collider result in exclusion limits rather than discoveries, and confirm that the Standard Model of particle physics describes the microscopic world with unrivalled precision. Recently, there has been interest in broader types of searches that are less model dependent. Such searches could cover much larger areas of the space of possible models than the more model specific searches do. In this thesis, we construct a model agnostic anomaly detection method for bump hunts at the Large Hadron Collider, based on machine learning. The method, called CATHODE, is developed and tested on simulated particle physics data where it is shown to perform close to the ideal limit. A follow-up project, LaCATHODE, is also included, where this method is adjusted to prevent sculpting of the background in cases where correlations exist among the variables. The thesis also presents an ongoing project, Via CATHODE, where CATHODE is used to search for stellar streams in astronomy data. Stellar streams can provide important information about the history of the evolution of the galaxy and the distribution of dark matter within it. Although streams are not anomalous in themselves, they give rise to localized bumps in certain variables in the data, just like a particle decaying in a particle detector does. We show that Via CATHODE improves the anomaly score for signal versus background compared to its predecessor, and it also finds more protostreams across the sky. Further optimizations are needed to weigh the false positive rate against the number of identified protostreams, and the protostreams need further clustering into stream candidates.

description: We developed a highly sensitive, reliable and portable automatic system (H$^{3}$) to monitor the radon concentration of the underground experimental halls of the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. H$^{3}$ is able to measure radon concentration with a statistical error less than 10\% in a 1-hour measurement of dehumidified air (R.H. 5\% at 25$^{\circ}$C) with radon concentration as low as 50 Bq/m$^{3}$. This is achieved by using a large radon progeny collection chamber, semiconductor $α$-particle detector with high energy resolution, improved electronics and software. The integrated radon monitoring system is highly customizable to operate in different run modes at scheduled times and can be controlled remotely to sample radon in ambient air or in water from the water pools where the antineutrino detectors are being housed. The radon monitoring system has been running in the three experimental halls of the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment since November 2013.

description: While parallel grippers and multi-fingered robotic hands are well developed and commonly used in structured settings, it remains a challenge in robotics to design a highly articulated robotic hand that can be comparable to human hands to handle various daily manipulation and grasping tasks. Dexterity usually requires more actuators but also leads to a more sophisticated mechanism design and is more expensive to fabricate and maintain. Soft materials are able to provide compliance and safety when interacting with the physical world but are hard to model. This work presents a hybrid bio-inspired robotic hand that combines soft matters and rigid elements. Sensing is integrated into the rigid bodies resulting in a simple way for pose estimation with high sensitivity. The proposed hand is in a modular structure allowing for rapid fabrication and programming. The fabrication process is carefully designed so that a full hand can be made with low-cost materials and assembled in an efficient manner. We demonstrate the dexterity of the hand by successfully performing human grasp types.

description: We study the excitonic coupling and homogeneous spectral line width of brick layer J-aggregate films. We begin by analysing the structural information revealed by the two-exciton states probed in two-dimensional spectra. Our first main result is that the relation between the excitonic couplings and the spectral shift in a two-dimensional structure is different (larger shift for the same nearest neighbour coupling) from that in a one-dimensional structure, which leads to an estimation of dipolar coupling in two-dimensional lattices. We next investigate the mechanisms of homogeneous broadening - population relaxation and pure dephasing - and evaluate their relative importance in linear and two-dimensional aggregates. Our second main result is that pure dephasing dominates the line width in two-dimensional systems up to a crossover temperature, which explains the linear temperature dependence of the homogeneous line width. This is directly related to the decreased density of states at the band edge when compared with linear aggregates, thus reducing the contribution of population relaxation to dephasing. Pump-probe experiments are suggested to directly measure the lifetime of the bright state and can therefore support the proposed model.

Operational Planning

description: As the number of renewable energy systems and the energy demand are growing simultaneously, many challenges arise for wind energy systems. One challenge is to respond flexibly to market prices while the numerous actors and the gap between supply and demand are leading to increased complexity in the energy market. Also, the reliability of wind energy system components and the full utilization of any unit’s service life are gaining importance. Current research is looking for ways to balance the many factors influencing the operation of a wind turbine while maintaining the key objective of maximizing monetary profit over the life cycle. Finding the optimal operating strategy for wind farms usually requires advanced optimization methods. An emerging method that eliminates complicated mathematical optimization is reinforcement learning (RL). RL is a type of machine learning able to learn through direct interaction with the environment. RL enables finding self-learned optimal adaptive operational strategies for wind energy systems with little computational effort. To test if RL is suitable for finding optimal operation strategies for long-term value maximization in wind energy systems, we analyze the benefit of reducing turbine power through effective derating on the optimal damage budget distribution of a given failure mode over the lifetime of a wind turbine. For this, we use pre-simulated damage progression data created from aero-elastic simulations for calculating the damages within the turbine blade depending on wind speed and power output reduction. The schematic RL problem formulation is shown in Figure 2. We assess the best way to set up the RL problem by analyzing the optimal state and reward formulations and comparing the performance of different algorithms with different hyperparameter settings. We present our results for a possible lifetime extension, and thus value maximation, through efficient derating. Further, we compare our results with the optimal planning results for the respective failure modes obtained with a mathematical optimization model and discuss advantages and drawbacks of RL versus traditional optimization approaches. As the benefits of RL are most obvious as operational decision-making gets more complex, we want to focus our future research on applying RL algorithms using deep neural networks and multi-agent algorithms to consider market prices and other factors influencing the optimal operation of a wind farm.

description: We introduce the Szegö class, Sz(E), for an arbitrary Parreau-Widom set E in R and study the dynamics of its elements under the left shift. When the direct Cauchy theorem holds on C\E, we show that to each J in Sz(E) there is a unique element J' in the isospectral torus, T_E, so that the left-shifts of J are asymptotic to the orbit {J'_m} on T_E. Moreover, we show that the ratio of the associated orthogonal polynomials has a limit, expressible in terms of Jost functions, as the degree n tends to infinity. This enables us to describe the large n behaviour of the orthogonal polynomials for every J in the Szegö class.

description: X-ray energy spectrum plays an essential role in imaging and related tasks. Due to the high photon flux of clinical CT scanners, most of the spectrum estimation methods are indirect and are usually suffered from various limitations. The recently proposed indirect transmission measurement-based method requires at least the segmentation of one material, which is insufficient for CT images of highly noisy and with artifacts. To combat for the bottleneck of spectrum estimation using segmented CT images, in this study, we develop a segmentation-free indirect transmission measurement based energy spectrum estimation method using dual-energy material decomposition. The general principle of the method is to compare polychromatic forward projection with raw projection to calibrate a set of unknown weights which are used to express the unknown spectrum together with a set of model spectra. After applying dual-energy material decomposition using high- and low-energy raw projection data, polychromatic forward projection is conducted on material-specific images. The unknown weights are then iteratively updated to minimize the difference between the raw projection and estimated projection. Both numerical simulations and experimental head phantom are used to evaluate the proposed method. The results indicate that the method provides accurate estimate of the spectrum and it may be attractive for dose calculations, artifacts correction and other clinical applications.

description: We present 98 spectroscopic binary orbits resulting from our ongoing radial-velocity survey of the old (7 Gyr) open cluster NGC 188. All but 13 are high-probability cluster members based on both radial-velocity and proper-motion membership analyses. Fifteen of these member binaries are double lined. Our stellar sample spans a magnitude range of 10.8 <=V<= 16.5 (1.14-0.92 Msun) and extends spatially to 17 pc (~13 core radii). All of our binary orbits have periods ranging from a few days to on the order of 10^3 days, and thus are hard binaries that dynamically power the cluster. For each binary, we present the orbital solutions and place constraints on the component masses. Additionally, we discuss a few binaries of note from our sample, identifying a likely blue straggler-blue straggler binary system (7782), a double-lined binary with a secondary star which is under-luminous for its mass (5080), two potential eclipsing binaries (4705 and 5762), and two binaries which are likely members of a quadruple system (5015a and 5015b).

description: I propose an understanding of Everett and Wheeler's relative-state interpretation of quantum mechanics, which restores the feature of indeterminism to the theory. This incorporates a theory of probability as truth values in a many-valued logic for future statements, and a contextual theory of truth which gives objective and subjective perspectives equal validity.

description: In quantum dots (QDs) the Auger recombination is a non-radiative process, where the electron-hole recombination energy is transferred to an additional carrier. It has been studied mostly in colloidal QDs, where the Auger recombination time is in the ps range and efficiently quenches the light emission. In self-assembled QDs, on the other hand, the influence of Auger recombination on the optical properties is in general neglected, assuming that it is masked by other processes such as spin and charge fluctuations. Here, we use time-resolved resonance fluorescence to analyze the Auger recombination and its influence on the optical properties of a single self-assembled QD. From excitation-power dependent measurements, we find a long Auger recombination time of about 500 ns and a quenching of the trion transition by about 80 percent. Furthermore, we observe a broadening of the trion transition linewidth by up to a factor of two. With a model based on rate equations, we are able to identify the interplay between tunneling and Auger rate as the underlying mechanism for the reduced intensity and the broadening of the linewidth. This demonstrates that self-assembled QDs can serve as an ideal model system to study how the charge recapture process, given by the band-structure surrounding the confined carriers, influences the Auger process. Our findings are not only relevant for improving the emission properties of colloidal QD-based emitters and dyes, which have recently entered the consumer market. They are also of interest for more visionary applications, such as quantum information technologies, based on self-assembled quantum dots.

description: It is generally believed that, when matter collapses to form a black hole, the complete information about the initial state of the matter cannot be retrieved by future asymptotic observers, through local measurements. This is contrary to the expectation from a unitary evolution in quantum theory and leads to (a version of) the black hole information paradox. Classically, nothing else, apart from mass, charge and angular momentum is expected to be revealed to such asymptotic observers after the formation of a black hole. Semi-classically, black holes evaporate after their formation through the Hawking radiation. The dominant part of the radiation is expected to be thermal and hence one cannot know anything about the initial data from the resultant radiation. However, there can be sources of distortions which make the radiation non-thermal. Although the distortions are not strong enough to make the evolution unitary, these distortions carry some part of information regarding the in-state. In this work, we show how one can decipher the information about the in-state of the field from these distortions. We show that the distortions of a particular kind --- which we call {\it non-vacuum distortions} --- can be used to \emph{fully} reconstruct the initial data. The asymptotic observer can do this operationally by measuring certain well-defined observables of the quantum field at late times. We demonstrate that a general class of in-states encode all their information content in the correlation of late time out-going modes. Further, using a $1+1$ dimensional CGHS model to accommodate back-reaction self-consistently, we show that observers can also infer and track the information content about the initial data, during the course of evaporation, unambiguously. Implications of such information extraction are discussed.

description: We analyzed continuous MAXI/GSC data of the X-ray binary pulsar 4U 1626-67 from 2009 October to 2013 September, and determined the pulse period and the pulse-period derivative for every 60-d interval by the epoch folding method. The obtained periods are consistent with those provided by the Fermi/GBM pulsar project. In all the 60-d intervals, the pulsar was observed to spin up, with the spin-up rate positively correlated with the 2-20 keV flux. We applied the accretion torque model proposed by Ghosh & Lamb (1979, ApJ, 234, 296) to the MAXI/GSC data, as well as the past data including both spin-up and spin-down phases. The Ghosh & Lamb relation was confirmed to successfully explain the observed relation between the spin-up/down rate and the flux. By comparing the model-predicted luminosity with the observed flux, the source distance was constrained as 5-13 kpc, which is consistent with that by Chakrabarty (1998, ApJ, 492, 342). Conversely, if the source distance is assumed, the data can constrain the mass and radius of the neutron star, because the Ghosh & Lamb model depends on these parameters. We attempted this idea, and found that an assumed distance of, e.g., 10 kpc gives a mass in the range of 1.81-1.90 solar mass, and a radius of 11.4-11.5 km, although these results are still subject to considerable systematic uncertainties other than that in the distance.
