Exploring the impact of different missing data mechanisms on the eﬀiciency of parameter estimates
Creators: name: Chen, Lihan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Modern missing data techniques, such as full information maximum likelihood (FIML) and multiple imputation (MI), have become more accessible and popular in recent years. When data are missing at random (MAR), these techniques produce consistent parameter estimates, correct standard errors, and valid statistical inferences, without the need for researchers to specify the details of the underlying missing data mechanisms. However, details of MAR mechanisms can affect the eﬀiciency of parameter estimates. Under current practice, this eﬀiciency loss is typically measured only by the rate of missing data; yet, even when the rate of missing data is held constant, variations in the MAR mechanism can lead to different eﬀiciency loss. As a result, the statistical power of psychological studies can be impacted by missing data in ways that are unexpected and unreported. The fraction of missing information (FMI) is a direct measure of eﬀiciency loss due to missing data. In this dissertation, I first explored the impact of different variations of MAR under a wide range of scenarios using FMI. It was discovered that eﬀiciency loss has a complex relationship to many factors, such as the conditioning relationship and the values of model parameters. These findings demonstrate the need to adopt FMI as a diagnostic measure in empirical studies when data are missing. Furthermore, these findings show the need to control for moderators of eﬀiciency loss in simulation studies, and to use FMI as a guide for study design. Next, I conducted a series of simulation studies to evaluate the properties of several sample estimates of FMI, and found that the accurate estimation of FMI required a sample size of at least 200. In the final part of the dissertation, I provided further reasons why it is important to study eﬀiciency loss under MAR, by demonstrating the connection between MAR eﬀiciency and sampling strategies in psychological studies. Using extreme groups design (EGD) as an example, I showed that more eﬀicient forms of MAR mechanisms can help improve planned missing data designs.

description: Recent results on muonic hydrogen [1] and the ones compiled by CODATA on ordinary hydrogen and $ep$-scattering [2] are $5σ$ away from each other. Two reasons justify a further look at this subject: 1) One of the approximations used in [1] is not valid for muonic hydrogen. This amounts to a shift of the proton's radius by $\sim 3$ of the standard deviations of [1], in the "right" direction of data-reconciliation. In field-theory terms, the error is a mismatch of renormalization scales. Once corrected, the proton radius "runs", much as the QCD coupling "constant" does. 2) The result of [1] requires a choice of the "third Zemach moment". Its published independent determination is based on an analysis with a $p$-value --the probability of obtaining data with equal or lesser agreement with the adopted (fit form-factor) hypothesis-- of $3.92\times 10^{-12}$. In this sense, this quantity is not empirically known. Its value would regulate the level of "tension" between muonic- and ordinary-hydrogen results, currently {\it at most} $\sim 4σ$. There is no tension between the results of [1] and the proton radius determined with help of the analyticity of its form factors.

description: We present a new method using Dalitz plot and Bose symmetry of pions that allows the complete determination of the magnitudes and phases of weak decay amplitudes. We apply the method to process like B->K^* pi, with the subsequent decay of K^* -> K pi. Our approach enables the additional measurement of an isospin amplitude without any theoretical assumption. This advance will help in measuring weak phase and probing for new physics beyond standard model with fewer assumptions.

description: These notes were given as lectures at the CERN Winter School on Supergravity, Strings and Gauge Theory 2010. We describe the structure of scattering amplitudes in gauge theories, focussing on the maximally supersymmetric theory to highlight the hidden symmetries which appear. Using the BCFW recursion relations we solve for the tree-level S-matrix in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, and describe how it produces a sum of invariants of a large symmetry algebra. We review amplitudes in the planar theory beyond tree-level, describing the connection between amplitudes and Wilson loops, and discuss the implications of the hidden symmetries.

description: Cross section measurements of the exclusive p(e,e'K+)Lambda,Sigma^0 electroproduction reactions have been performed at the Mainz Microtron MAMI in the A1 spectrometer facility using for the first time the Kaos spectrometer for kaon detection. These processes were studied in a kinematical region not covered by any previous experiment. The nucleon was probed in its third resonance region with virtual photons of low four-momenta, Q^2= 0.030-0.055 (GeV/c)^2. The MAMI data indicate a smooth transition in Q^2 from photoproduction to electroproduction cross sections. Comparison with predictions of effective Lagrangian models based on the isobar approach reveal that strong longitudinal couplings of the virtual photon to the N* resonances can be excluded from these models.

description: We explore the two-dimensional generalized contact process with two absorbing states by means of large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations. In part of the phase diagram, an infinitesimal creation rate of active sites between inactive domains is sufficient to take the system from the inactive phase to the active phase. The system therefore displays two different nonequilibrium phase transitions. The critical behavior of the generic transition is compatible with the generalized voter (GV) universality class, implying that the symmetry-breaking and absorbing transitions coincide. In contrast, the transition at zero domain-boundary activation rate is not critical.

description: Quasi-local variables, i.e. quantities whose values can be derived from physics accessible within an arbitrarily small neighborhood of a spacetime point, are used to construct the equation of state (EoS) for the anisotropic fluid in the spherical symmetry. One parameter families of equilibrium solutions are obtained making it possible to assess stability properties by means of the standard M(R) method. Normal modes of radial pulsation are computed as well and are found to confirm the onset of instability as predicted by the M(R) method. As an example, a stable configuration with outwardly increasing energy density in the core is obtained with a simple quasi-local extension of the polytropic EoS. It is also found that the loss of stability occurs at higher surface compactness when the anisotropy of pressures is present.

description: Communities are not static; they evolve, split and merge, appear and disappear, i.e. they are product of dynamical processes that govern the evolution of the network. A good algorithm for community detection should not only quantify the topology of the network, but incorporate the dynamical processes that take place on the network. We present a novel algorithm for community detection that combines network structure with processes that support creation and/or evolution of communities. The algorithm does not embrace the universal approach but instead tries to focus on social networks and model dynamic social interactions that occur on those networks. It identifies leaders, and communities that form around those leaders. It naturally supports overlapping communities by associating each node with a membership vector that describes node's involvement in each community. This way, in addition to overlapping communities, we can identify nodes that are good followers to their leader, and also nodes with no clear community involvement that serve as a proxy between several communities and are equally as important. We run the algorithm for several real social networks which we believe represent a good fraction of the wide body of social networks and discuss the results including other possible applications.

The potential due to exchange of a massive neutrino-antineutrino pair between particles carrying weak charge might be larger than expected if the neutrinos have not only masses but also magnetic moments close to the present experimental bounds. It still remains too small to be observable.

description: In the convection-dominated regime, solutions of convection-diffusion problems usually possesses layers, which are regions where the solution has a steep gradient. It is well known that many classical numerical discretization techniques face difficulties when approximating the solution to these problems. In recent years, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) for approximating the solution to (initial-)boundary value problems received a lot of interest. In this work, we study various loss functionals for PINNs that are novel in the context of PINNs and are especially designed for convection-dominated convection-diffusion problems. They are numerically compared to the vanilla and a $hp$-variational loss functional from the literature based on two benchmark problems whose solutions possess different types of layers. We observe that the best novel loss functionals reduce the $L^2(Omega)$ error by $17.3%$ for the first and $5.5%$ for the second problem compared to the methods from the literature.

description: We provide the geometrical meaning of the ${\cal N}=4$ superconformal index. With this interpretation, the ${\cal N}=4$ superconformal index can be realized as the partition function on a Scherk-Schwarz deformed background. We apply the localization method in TQFT to compute the deformed partition function since the deformed action can be written as a $δ_ε$-exact form. The critical points of the deformed action turn out to be the space of flat connections which are, in fact, zero modes of the gauge field. The one-loop evaluation over the space of flat connections reduces to the matrix integral by which the ${\cal N}=4$ superconformal index is expressed.

Duplex ultrasound assisted endovascular revascularization of chronic internal carotid artery occlusion: technical note
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Carotid artery occlusion is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Endovascular treatment of carotid artery occlusion in high-risk patients offers a therapeutic option to reduce subsequent ischemic events. The technical success and avoidance of complications of the endovascular recanalization of occluded carotid artery is contingent on proper visualization of the vessel wall. To highlight the value of duplex ultrasound guidance, we herein described the procedural details of the use of ultrasound guidance for characterization and visualization of the endovascular devices as well as the vessel wall during endovascular revascularization. Patient was a 54-year-old woman, diagnosed with carotid occlusion with recurrent symptomatic episodes. Endovascular revascularization was successfully performed by ultrasound assistance upon traversing the occluded segment and accurate deployment of stent. The patient was followed for 3 months and has not experienced any ischemic symptoms. Duplex ultrasound guidance helps preventing the vessel wall injury and dissection during revascularization of chronically occluded carotid artery. Ultrasound guidance may improve the outcomes of the endovascular procedures in high-risk patients with carotid occlusion.

description: Recent data from CREAM seem to confirm early suggestions that primary cosmic ray (CR) spectra at few TeV/nucleon are harder than in the 10-100 GeV range. Also, helium and heavier nuclei spectra appear systematically harder than the proton fluxes at corresponding energies. We note here that if the measurements reflect intrinsic features in the interstellar fluxes (as opposed to local effects) appreciable modifications are expected in the sub-TeV range for the secondary yields, such as antiprotons and diffuse gamma-rays. Presently, the ignorance on the origin of the features represents a systematic error in the extraction of astrophysical parameters as well as for background estimates for indirect dark matter searches. We find that the spectral modifications are appreciable above 100 GeV, and can be responsible for ~30% effects for antiprotons at energies close to 1 TeV or for gamma's at energies close to 300 GeV, compared to currently considered predictions based on simple extrapolation of input fluxes from low energy data. Alternatively, if the feature originates from local sources, uncorrelated spectral changes might show up in antiproton and high-energy gamma-rays, with the latter ones likely dependent from the line-of-sight.

The Jarzynski equality in van der Pol and Rayleigh oscillators
Creators: name: Hasegawa, Hideo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We have studied the Jarzynski equality (JE) in van der Pol and Rayleigh oscillators which are typical deterministic non-Hamiltonian models, but not expected to rigorously satisfy the JE because they are not microscopically reversible. Our simulations that calculate the contribution to the work $W$ of an applied ramp force with a duration $τ$ show that the JE approximately holds for a fairly wide range of $τ$ including $τ\rightarrow 0 $ and $τ\rightarrow \infty$, except for $τ\sim T$ where $T$ denotes the period of relaxation oscillations in the limit cycle. The work distribution function (WDF) is shown to be non-Gaussian with the $U$-shaped structure for a strong damping parameter. The $τ$ dependence of $R$ $(=- k_B T \ln)$ obtained by our simulations is semi-quantitatively elucidated with the use of a simple expression for limit-cycle oscillations, where the bracket $$ expresses an average over the WDF. The result obtained in self-excited oscillators is in contrast with the fact that the JE holds in the Nosé-Hoover oscillator which also belongs to deterministic non-Hamiltonian models.

Overcoming path dependency to implement nature-based solutions for coastal flooding : cases from the global north and south
Creators: name: Rawal, Simone
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The limitations of dominant approaches to managing coastal flood risk that rely on technical, hard, grey infrastructures have become more evident, and nature-based flood defences (NBFD) have been gaining attention in coastal climate change adaptation. This study explores the barriers and possibilities of transitioning toward NBFD, focusing on how path dependency can be overcome to implement NBFD in coastal areas. Through a systematic literature review, a conceptual framework is developed to identify lock-ins as well as enabling factors that can overcome path dependency and facilitate implementing NBFD. The framework is then applied to three NBFD case studies that are widely considered to be success stories from the Global North and South: (i) The Wide Green Dike (WGD), (ii) the Living Breakwaters, and (iii) Mangrove Plantation Projects (MPP). Through document review and 16 expert interviews, the research identified case- and context-specific lock-ins and enablers in the implementation of each case study. The study shows that the key factors causing lock-ins differ more amongst case studies than factors breaking path dependency. Insufficient data and/or technology and gaps in coordination significantly influenced all three case studies, although this took different forms. Aversion to change was a significant influence in the WGD and LB case study, which impacted the trust and uptake of NBFD. The MPP has more lock-ins than the other two case studies, including knowledge gap, lack of financial resources, and overdependence on local knowledge. Regarding factors breaking path-dependency, collaboration, leadership, and available funding resources were important for all three case studies, and past flooding events triggered changes in the approach to FRM. Community engagement has also been identified as a critical factor and was especially important in the MPP case study. In sum, the study showed that the lock-ins and enablers differ not only between the Global South and North cases but also between the two Global North Cases, and they interact in both causing and breaking lock-ins. Lastly, the findings inform guiding principles and recommendations for policymakers, planners, and key decision-makers on successfully overcoming lock-ins to implement the appropriate NBFD in the future.

description: Massive stars disproportionately influence their surroundings. How they form has only started to become clear recently through radiation gas dynamical simulations. However, until now, no simulation has simultaneously included both magnetic fields and ionizing radiation. Here we present the results from the first radiation-magnetohydrodynamical (RMHD) simulation including ionization feedback, comparing an RMHD model of a 1000 M_sol rotating cloud to earlier radiation gas dynamical models with the same initial density and velocity distributions. We find that despite starting with a strongly supercritical mass to flux ratio, the magnetic field has three effects. First, the field offers locally support against gravitational collapse in the accretion flow, substantially reducing the amount of secondary fragmentation in comparison to the gas dynamical case. Second, the field drains angular momentum from the collapsing gas, further increasing the amount of material available for accretion by the central, massive, protostar, and thus increasing its final mass by about 50% from the purely gas dynamical case. Third, the field is wound up by the rotation of the flow, driving a tower flow. However, this flow never achieves the strength seen in low-mass star formation simulations for two reasons: gravitational fragmentation disrupts the circular flow in the central regions where the protostars form, and the expanding H II regions tend to further disrupt the field geometry. Therefore, outflows driven by ionization heating look likely to be more dynamically important in regions of massive star formation.

description: We have a developed a new method for fitting spectral energy distributions (SEDs) to identify and constrain the physical properties of high-redshift (4 < z < 8) galaxies. Our approach uses an implementation of Bayesian based Markov Chain Monte Carlo (PiMC^2) that allows us to compare observations to arbitrarily complex models and to compute 95% credible intervals that provide robust constraints for the model parameters. The work is presented in 2 sections. In the first, we test PiMC^2 using simulated SEDs to not only confirm the recovery of the known inputs but to assess the limitations of the method and identify potential hazards of SED fitting when applied specifically to high redshift (z>4) galaxies. Our tests reveal five critical results: 1) the ability to confidently constrain metallicity, population ages, and Av all require photometric accuracy better than what is currently achievable (i.e. less than a few percent); 2) the ability to confidently constrain stellar masses (within a factor of two) can be achieved without the need for high-precision photometry; 3) the addition of IRAC photometry does not guarantee that tighter constraints of the stellar masses and ages can be defined; 4) different assumptions about the star formation history can lead to significant biases in mass and age estimates; and 5) we are able to constrain stellar age and Av of objects that are both young and relatively dust free. In the second part of the paper we apply PiMC^2 to 17 46 galaxies. Using PiMC^2, we are able to constrain the stellar mass of these objects and in some cases their stellar age and find no evidence that any of these sources formed at a redshift much larger than z_f=8, a time when the Universe was ~ 0.6 Gyr old.

Atomistic studies of mechanical loss in amorphous silicon
Creators: name: Wong, Daniel Ka Sing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: At around the 100 Hz regime, thermal noise within the amorphous mirror coatings of current gravitational wave detectors starts to become a predominant source of noise in the interferometer setup. Due to intrinsic mechanical loss of the current coating materials, lowering the operational temperature of the detector is unable to sufficiently reduce the thermal noise for future iterations of gravitational wave detectors running at cryogenic temperatures. Given the difficulty in reducing this thermal noise, there is an incentive to investigate alternative materials that may replace the current mirror coatings. This work serves as a primary investigation into amorphous silicon, which is a candidate to replace current coating materials, using atomistic simulations. Through the theory of dissipation in two-level systems and the characterization of the potential energy landscape as a collection of two-level systems, a calculation of mechanical loss can be performed. Molecular dynamics and other computational techniques are utilized to identify and parameterize these two-level systems in computationally generated amorphous silicon samples. Using the two-level system parameters, the first calculation of mechanical loss of amorphous silicon at low temperatures in the 100 Hz regime is obtained. This study finds that only a small percentage of two-level systems contribute significantly to the total mechanical loss of the system. Furthermore, these important two-level systems are found to have low energy asymmetry, with their average energy barrier controlling the temperature at which the two-level system contributes to the mechanical loss. Finally, this study provides a microscopic description of the atomic motions responsible for the transition between states within two-level systems. Each two-level system is generally found to fall within one of three different classifications of atomic motion.

description: mHealth applications allow for real-time data recording, which can provide valuable insights into treatment processes. However, as such applications rely on voluntary usage, the generated datasets are highly susceptible to fluctuating engagement and high user dropout rates. This poses challenges when applying machine learning techniques to the data. Moreover, in order to design measures that promote patient engagement with mHealth apps, it is necessary to predict and understand decline in engagement.

description: In this paper we show that the skeleton diagrams in the m-Loop nPI effective action correspond to an infinite resummation of perturbative diagrams which is void of double counting at the m-Loop level. We also show that the variational equations of motion produced by the n-Loop nPI effective theory are equivalent to the Schwinger-Dyson equations, up to the order at which they are consistent with the underlying symmetries of the original theory. We use a diagrammatic technique to obtain the 5-Loop 5PI effective action for a scalar theory with cubic and quartic interactions, and verify that the result satisfies these two statements.

Models of metal-doped zinc oxide for low-E glass coating applications

description: The main objective of the thesis was to investigate the structural effect of Al as a dopant for ZnO when used in the production of low-emissivity coatings. The work involved first developing a method to fit a (classical) variable charge reactive force-field potential for the Al-ZnO system which was later extended to Ti-ZnO. This was achieved using a ReaxFF model by carrying out a large number of ab initio calculations and fitting parameters of the model to match energies and forces in selected systems. The particle swarm optimisation model was found to be the best method for fitting parameters in a high dimensional space with the best accuracy when only function evaluations and not derivatives were used. This was achieved through comparisons with other traditional optimisation models. The developed model for the Al:ZnO system was used together with a previously developed model for Ag:ZnO to investigate energetic impacts on the surface of pure ZnO. This involved setting up a database of all potential interactions over an energy range typical for magnetron sputtering deposition with energies between 0.1 and 40 eV using molecular dynamics. Depositing both Al and Ag on the surface allowed study of outcomes such as adsorption, penetration or reflection at different angles. Energies lower than 10 eV showed that adsorption was the most likely outcome regardless of angle for both Ag and Al. The final part of the work applied the Al:ZnO potential to investigate the effect of small amounts of Al dopant on the growth of ZnO using a combination of molecular dynamics and an adaptive Monte Carlo technique. This allowed the ability to model experimental time scales to improve the growth of the Al:ZnO. This preliminary investigation shows that Al will strongly bond with oxygen which helps pin other arriving atoms but that this pinning does not especially effect the structure of the growing ZnO film.

description: We prove that for quantum lattice systems in d<=2 dimensions the addition of quenched disorder rounds any first order phase transition in the corresponding conjugate order parameter, both at positive temperatures and at T=0. For systems with continuous symmetry the statement extends up to d<=4 dimensions. This establishes for quantum systems the existence of the Imry-Ma phenomenon which for classical systems was proven by Aizenman and Wehr. The extension of the proof to quantum systems is achieved by carrying out the analysis at the level of thermodynamic quantities rather than equilibrium states.

description: We describe and apply a simple prescription for defining connected structures in galaxy redshift surveys. The method is based upon two passes with a friends-of-friends groupfinder. The first pass uses a cylindrical linking volume to find galaxy groups and clusters, in order to suppress the line-of-sight smearing introduced by the large random velocities of galaxies within these deep potential wells. The second pass, performed with a spherical linking volume, identifies the connected components. This algorithm has been applied to the 2dFGRS, within which it picks out a total of 7,603 systems containing at least two galaxies and having a mean redshift less than 0.12. Connected systems with many members appear filamentary in nature, and the algorithm recovers two particularly large filaments within the 2dFGRS. For comparison, the algorithm is has also been applied to LambdaCDM mock galaxy surveys. While the model population of such systems is broadly similar to that in the 2dFGRS, it does not generally contain such extremely large structures.

description: Verlinde's heuristic argument for the interpretation of the standard Newtonian gravitational force as an entropic force is generalized by the introduction of a minimum temperature (or maximum wave length) for the microscopic degrees of freedom on the holographic screen. With the simplest possible setup, the resulting gravitational acceleration felt by a test mass m from a point mass M at a distance R is found to be of the form of the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) as suggested by Milgrom. The corresponding MOND-type acceleration constant is proportional to the minimum temperature, which can be interpreted as the Unruh temperature of an emerging de-Sitter space. This provides a possible explanation of the connection between local MOND-type two-body systems and cosmology.
