description: The Argon Dark Matter (ArDM-1t) experiment is a ton-scale liquid argon (LAr) double-phase time projection chamber designed for direct Dark Matter searches. Such a device allows to explore the low energy frontier in LAr with a charge imaging detector. The ionization charge is extracted from the liquid into the gas phase and there amplified by the use of a Large Electron Multiplier in order to reduce the detection threshold. Direct detection of the ionization charge with fine spatial granularity, combined with a measurement of the amplitude and time evolution of the associated primary scintillation light, provide powerful tools for the identification of WIMP interactions against the background due to electrons, photons and possibly neutrons if scattering more than once. A one ton LAr detector is presently installed on surface at CERN to fully test all functionalities and it will be soon moved to an underground location. We will emphasize here the lessons learned from such a device for the design of a large LAr TPC for neutrino oscillation, proton decay and astrophysical neutrinos searches.

description: In order to better grasp the natural phenomena, we must recognize the roll of nonlinear effects as a major improvement for describing reality. Accordingly, we have as a purpose the development of a gradual introduction of the so-called nonlinear dynamic systems as a turning point for better understanding the nature. The true value of the computer approach is revealed for solving, modelling and/or simulating nonlinear phenomena. In order to do that, we are preparing a series of lectures and applications for different phenomena that are simple enough to understand but difficult to compute, in a gradual way.

description: We analyse for the first time the radial abundance gradients of the disc stars of a disc galaxy simulated with our three dimensional, fully cosmological chemodynamical galaxy evolution code GCD+. We study how [Fe/H], [N/O], [O/Fe], [Mg/Fe] and [Si/Fe] vary with galactocentric radius. For the young stars of the disc, we found a negative slope for [Fe/H] and [N/O] but a positive [O/Fe], [Mg/Fe] and [Si/Fe] slope with radius. By analysing the star formation rate (SFR) at different radii, we found that the simulated disc contains a greater fraction of young stars in the outer regions, while the old stars tend to be concentrated in the inner parts of the disc. This can explain the positive [alpha/Fe] gradient as well as the negative [N/O] gradient with radius. This radial trend is a natural outcome of an inside-out formation of the disc, regardless of its size and can thus explain the recently observed positive [alpha/Fe] gradients in the Milky Way disc open clusters.

East-west faults due to planetary contraction

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Geophysics (physics.geo-ph)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Contraction, expansion and despinning have been common in the past evolution of Solar System bodies. These processes deform the lithosphere until it breaks along faults. The type and orientation of faults are usually determined under the assumption of a constant lithospheric thickness, but lithospheric thinning can occur at the equator or at the poles due either to latitudinal variation in solar insolation or to localized tidal dissipation. Using thin elastic shells with variable thickness, I show that the equatorial thinning of the lithosphere transforms the homogeneous and isotropic fault pattern caused by contraction/expansion into a pattern of faults striking east-west, preferably formed in the equatorial region. By contrast, lithospheric thickness variations only weakly affect the despinning faulting pattern consisting of equatorial strike-slip faults and polar normal faults. If contraction is added to despinning, the despinning pattern first shifts to thrust faults striking north-south and then to thrust faults striking east-west. If the lithosphere is thinner at the poles, the tectonic pattern caused by contraction/expansion consists of faults striking north/south. On Iapetus, contraction or expansion on a lithosphere thinner at the equator explains the location and orientation of the equatorial ridge. On Mercury, the combination of contraction and despinning makes possible the existence of zonal provinces of thrust faults differing in orientation (north-south or east-west), which may be relevant to the orientation of lobate scarps.

description: Retail milk pricing and other selected merchandising practices used by retail food stores to sell milk in 56 markets are analyzed. The stores sold milk during 1969-71 at many prices--ranging from three prices in one market to 26 in another. Generally, price structures for milk were more stable in markets with State retail pricing regulation than in those without regulation. In regulated markets, a much higher proportion of all milk was sold at modal (most common) prices than in unregulated markets. Chain-owned supermarkets generally priced milk 1 cent to 2 cents lower than other supermarkets. The study also examines the importance of retail foodstores in the marketing of milk as indicated by their use of store brands and backward integration by the stores into milk processing.

Hierarchical mixture models for assessing fingerprint individuality
Creators: name: Dass, Sarat C.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Applications (stat.AP)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The study of fingerprint individuality aims to determine to what extent a fingerprint uniquely identifies an individual. Recent court cases have highlighted the need for measures of fingerprint individuality when a person is identified based on fingerprint evidence. The main challenge in studies of fingerprint individuality is to adequately capture the variability of fingerprint features in a population. In this paper hierarchical mixture models are introduced to infer the extent of individualization. Hierarchical mixtures utilize complementary aspects of mixtures at different levels of the hierarchy. At the first (top) level, a mixture is used to represent homogeneous groups of fingerprints in the population, whereas at the second level, nested mixtures are used as flexible representations of distributions of features from each fingerprint. Inference for hierarchical mixtures is more challenging since the number of unknown mixture components arise in both the first and second levels of the hierarchy. A Bayesian approach based on reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo methodology is developed for the inference of all unknown parameters of hierarchical mixtures. The methodology is illustrated on fingerprint images from the NIST database and is used to make inference on fingerprint individuality estimates from this population.

The experience of university students in cultivating mindfulness : what helps and hinders
Creators: name: Mills, Lauri
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This study explored the experience of university students in cultivating mindfulness. University students face many unique academic, financial, social, and personal stressors in the pursuit of their educational goals. The literature suggests that the nature of mental health is changing for today’s students, with increasing prevalence, chronicity, complexity, and severity of psychological issues. University counselling centres serve a growing number of students with severe psychological problems, many presenting in crisis and requiring immediate response. This consistent rise in clients seen by centres, compounded with stretched resources and budgetary concerns, is causing many centres to incorporate different treatment modalities to address these challenges. Outcome research suggests that mindfulness is a beneficial intervention with university students, especially in reducing symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. However, there is limited qualitative research on the experience of university students in cultivating mindfulness, and no known published research on what facilitates and challenges students who participate in a mindfulness-based intervention as part of treatment at a university counselling centre. Fourteen participants were interviewed about what helps and hinders their cultivation of mindfulness. All participants had completed a Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction group as part of treatment through their university counselling centre. The Enhanced Critical Incident Technique was used to analyze the interviews, which produced 390 total incidents, with 195 helping incidents, 130 hindering incidents, and 65 wish list items. These incidents and wish list items were grouped into 19 categories. The 11 helping categories are Mindfulness Practice, Mindfulness Group, External Environment, Personal Strategies, Benefits of Mindfulness, Routine, Mindfulness Concept, Social Support, External Reminders, Inspirational Others, and Stress. The five hindering categories are Disruptions, Time, Tired, Emotion and Anxiety, and Interpersonal Relationships. The three wish list categories are Space, Resources, and Cultural Shift. The findings suggest that mindfulness practice and the influence of the mindfulness group are important factors for students’ cultivation of mindfulness, as well as external context, personal factors, and the influence of others outside of the mindfulness group.

description: We propose a simple description of the spectrum of edge states in the quantum Hall regime, in terms of semiclassical quantization of skipping orbits along hard wall boundaries, ${\cal A}=2 π(n+γ) \ell_B^2$, where ${\cal A}$ is the area enclosed between a skipping orbit and the wall and $\ell_B$ is the magnetic length. Remarkably, this description provides an excellent quantitative agreement with the exact spectrum. We discuss the value of $γ$ when the skipping orbits touch one or two edges, and its variation when the orbits graze the edges and the semiclassical quantization has to be corrected by diffraction effects. The value of $γ$ evolves continuously from $1/2$ to $3/4$. We calculate the energy dependence of the drift velocity along the different Landau levels. We compare the structure of the semiclassical cyclotron orbits, their position with respect to the edge, to the wave function of the corresponding eigenstates.

description: We report first-principles calculations of inelastic Seebeck coefficients in an aluminum monatomic junction. We compare the elastic and inelastic Seebeck coefficients with and without local heating. In the low temperature regime, the signature of normal modes in the profiles of the inelastic Seebeck effects is salient. The inelastic Seebeck effects are enhanced by the normal modes, and further magnified by local heating. In the high temperature regime, the inelastic Seebeck effects are weakly suppressed due to the quasi-ballistic transport.

description: We present the higgsing of three-dimensional N=6 superconformal ABJM type theories coupled to conformal supergravity, so called topologically gauged ABJM theory, thus providing a gravitational extension of previous work on the relation between N M2 and N D2-branes. The resulting N=6 supergravity theory appears at a chiral point similar to that of three-dimensional chiral gravity introduced recently by Li, Song and Strominger, but with the opposite sign for the Ricci scalar term in the lagrangian. We identify the supersymmetry in the broken phase as a particular linear combination of the supersymmetry and special conformal supersymmetry in the original topologically gauged ABJM theory. We also discuss the higgsing procedure in detail paying special attention to the role played by the U(1) factors in the original ABJM model and the U(1) introduced in the topological gauging.

Two-cluster bifurcations in systems of globally pulse-coupled oscillators

description: For a system of globally pulse-coupled phase-oscillators, we derive conditions for stability of the completely synchronous state and all possible two-cluster states and explain how the different states are naturally connected via bifurcations. The coupling is modeled using the phase-response-curve (PRC), which measures the sensitivity of each oscillator's phase to perturbations. For large systems with a PRC, which turns to zero at the spiking threshold, we are able to find the parameter regions where multiple stable two-cluster states coexist and illustrate this by an example. In addition, we explain how a locally unstable one-cluster state may form an attractor together will its homoclinic connections. This leads to the phenomenon of intermittent, asymptotic synchronization with abating beats away from the perfect synchrony.

description: Spectral singularities such as exceptional points invoke specific physical effects. The present paper focuses upon the time dependent solutions of the Schrödinger equation. In a simple model it is demonstrated that - depending on initial conditions - within close proximity of exceptional points the time behaviour of the wave function displays characteristic features such as very fast decay or the opposite, i.e. very long life time. At the exceptional point the wave function typically has a linear term in time besides the usual exponential behaviour.

Interactive animation of the eye region
Creators: name: Libório Cardoso, João Afonso
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Humans are extremely sensitive to facial realism and spend a surprisingly amount of time focusing their attention on other people's faces. Thus, believable human character animation requires realistic facial performance. Various techniques have been developed to capture highly detailed actor performance or to help drive facial animation. However, the eye region remains a largely unexplored field and automatic animation of this region is still an open problem. We tackle two different aspects of automatically generating facial features, aiming to recreate the small intricacies of the eye region in real-time. First, we present a system for real-time animation of eyes that can be interactively controlled using a small number of animation parameters, including gaze. These parameters can be obtained using traditional animation curves, measured from an actor’s performance using off-the-shelf eye tracking methods, or estimated from the scene observed by the character using behavioral models of human vision. We present a model of eye movement, that includes not only movement of the globes, but also of the eyelids and other soft tissues in the eye region. To our knowledge this is the first system for real-time animation of soft tissue movement around the eyes based on gaze input. Second, we present a method for real-time generation of distance fields for any mesh in screen space. This method does not depend on object complexity or shape, being only contained by the intended field resolution. We procedurally generate lacrimal lakes on a human character using the generated distance field as input. We present different sampling algorithms for surface exploration and distance estimation, and compare their performance. To our knowledge this is the first method for real-time or screen space generation of distance fields.

description: We study the properties and stability of nuclei in the inner crust of neutron stars in the presence of strong magnetic fields $\sim 10^{17}$ G. Nuclei coexist with a neutron gas and reside in a uniform gas of electrons in the inner crust. This problem is investigated within the Thomas-Fermi model. We extract the properties of nuclei based on the subtraction procedure of Bonche, Levit and Vautherin. The phase space modification of electrons due to Landau quantisation in the presence of strong magnetic fields leads to the enhancement of electron as well as proton fractions at lower densities $\sim 0.001$ fm$^{-3}$. We find the equilibrium nucleus at each average baryon density by minimising the free energy and show that, in the presence of strong magnetic fields, it is lower than that in the field free case. The size of the spherical cell that encloses a nucleus along with the neutron and electron gases becomes smaller in strong magnetic fields compared with the zero field case. Nuclei with larger mass and atomic numbers are obtained in the presence of strong magnetic fields as compared with cases of zero field.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Heavy ion reactions and other collective dynamical processes are frequently described by different theoretical approaches for the different stages of the process, like initial equilibration stage, intermediate locally equilibrated fluid dynamical stage and final freeze-out stage. For the last stage the best known is the Cooper-Frye description used to generate the phase space distribution of emitted, non-interacting, particles from a fluid dynamical expansion/explosion, assuming a final ideal gas distribution, or (less frequently) an out of equilibrium distribution. In this work we do not want to replace the Cooper-Frye description, rather clarify the ways how to use it and how to choose the parameters of the distribution, eventually how to choose the form of the phase space distribution used in the Cooper-Frye formula. Moreover, the Cooper-Frye formula is used in connection with the freeze-out problem, while the discussion of transition between different stages of the collision is applicable to other transitions also. More recently hadronization and molecular dynamics models are matched to the end of a fluid dynamical stage to describe hadronization and freeze-out. The stages of the model description can be matched to each other on spacetime hypersurfaces (just like through the frequently used freeze-out hypersurface). This work presents a generalized description of how to match the stages of the description of a reaction to each other, extending the methodology used at freeze-out, in simple covariant form which is easily applicable in its simplest version for most applications.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An interesting description of a collinear configuration of four particles is found in terms of two spherical coordinates. An algorithm to compute the four coordinates of particles of a collinear Four-Body central configuration is presented by using an orthocentric tetrahedron, which edge lengths are function of given masses. Each mass is placed at the corresponding vertex of the tetrahedron. The center of mass (and orthocenter) of the tetrahedron is at the origin of coordinates. The initial position of the tetrahedron is placed with two pairs of vertices each in a coordinate plan, the lines joining any pair of them parallel to a coordinate axis, the center of masses of each and the center of mass of the four on one coordinate axis. From this original position the tetrahedron is rotated by two angles around the center of mass until the direction of configuration coincides with one axis of coordinates. The four coordinates of the vertices of the tetrahedron along this direction determine the central configuration by finding the two angles corresponding to it. The twelve possible configurations predicted by Moulton's theorem are computed for a particular mass choice.

description: The investigated effervescent atomizer is a special type of internal mixing pneumatic atomizer with a significantly reduced atomization gas consumption compared to conventional external mixing pneumatic atomizers. First the concentration influence of aqueous polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) solutions of concentrations from 15 to 45 % on the spray drop size distribution was investigated. As a significant increase in Sauter mean diameter and distribution width was only observed for concentrations above 40 % a change in breakup mechanism is assumed. This assumption is supported by the fact that also the improved model of Lund failed in the prediction of drop
size at these concentrations. An essential challenge is the large width of the spray drop size distribution which is assumed to be connected to the spray pulsation. Therefore, the influence of nozzle orifice elongation and gas injection hole diameter reduction were investigated. Both depict no significant influence on Sauter mean diameter itself but reduced the standard deviation of Sauter mean diameter and the standard deviation of the distribution width enhancing thus the reproducibility of the spray characteristics. Also, reduction of the gas injection hole diameter reduced slightly the width of the distribution itself. The pulsation frequency of the spray was measured by high frequency laser diffraction spectroscopy. Nozzle orifice elongation and gas injection hole diameter reduction increased both the pulsation frequency as well as an increasing air-liquid mass ratio. The actual impact of the pulsation on the drop size distribution was not investigated in this work but will be future subject.

description: This study examines year-to-year price and output variation for three seasonal onion crops. Econometric models are developed and estimated for two disjoint time periods. The first period encompasses the crop years 1946/47-1958/59, when onion futures contracts were actively traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange; the second period, 1959/60-1969/70, covers years following futures trading. The results failed to divulge significant differences in the structure of supply and demand between the two periods. Observations for the combined period were subsequently used to quantify the seasonal supply-demand structure.

description: Development of tracking algorithm with deep learning techniques

A range of models inspired by computer vision applications were investigated, which operated on data from tracking detectors in a format resembling images [A deep learning method for the trajectory reconstruction of cosmic rays with the DAMPE mission, Andrii Tykhonov et al,Astroparticle Physics 146, April 2023, 102795 102795].

Although these approaches demonstrated potential, image-based methods encountered difficulties in adapting to the scale of realistic data, primarily due to the high dimensionality and sparsity of the data.

Tracking data are naturally represented as graph by identifying hits as nodes and tracks segments as (in general) directed edges.

So that, we have explored the use of geometric deep learning techniques. Specifically, we have developed an algorithm that leverages the Graph Neural Network approach, which is a subset of geometric deep learning. This approach has been applied to the task of track reconstruction in a simplified model of space experiments.

The details of our toy model simulations, the algorithm's development process, and the preliminary results are described in the accompanying slides.
Searching for the QCD Critical Point Using Particle Ratio Fluctuations and Higher Moments of Multiplicity Distributions

description: Dynamical fluctuations in global conserved quantities such as baryon number, strangeness, or charge may be observed near a QCD critical point. Results from new measurements of dynamical $K/π$, $p/π$, and $K/p$ ratio fluctuations are presented. The commencing of a QCD critical point search at RHIC has extended the reach of possible measurements of dynamical $K/π$, $p/π$, and $K/p$ ratio fluctuations from Au+Au collisions to lower energies. The STAR experiment has performed a comprehensive study of the energy dependence of these dynamical fluctuations in Au+Au collisions at the energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 7.7, 11.5, 39, 62.4, and 200 GeV. New results are compared to previous measurements and to theoretical predictions from several models. The measured dynamical $K/π$ fluctuations are found to be independent of collision energy, while dynamical $p/π$ and $K/p$ fluctuations have a negative value that increases toward zero at top RHIC energy. Fluctuations of the higher moments of conserved quantities (net-proton and net-charge) distributions, which are predicted to be sensitive to the presence of a critical point, are also presented.

description: Virtual space and all its attached Internet services, mobile applications, computers and networks are extensions of our daily needs and life. But are most of us prepared to use them in a responsible manner? The global networking can be used not only with the good intentions. Some of the problems can be avoided with an Internet-usage literacy campaign. In this way users will be aware of their rights, their duties and the dangers that may arise if they treat electronic/Internet/mobile-issues as details not worthy for their attention.
The bulk transition of many-flavour QCD and the search for a UVFP at strong coupling

description: We explore the nature of the bulk transition observed at strong coupling in the SU(3) gauge theory with Nf=12 fermions in the fundamental representation. The transition separates a weak coupling chirally symmetric phase from a strong coupling chirally broken phase and is compatible with the scenario where conformality is restored by increasing the flavour content of a non abelian gauge theory. We explore the intriguing possibility that the observed bulk transition is associated with the occurrence of an ultraviolet fixed point (UVFP) at strong coupling, where a new theory emerges in the continuum.

Towards mitigation of wrinkles during forming of woven fabric composites : an experimental characterization
Creators: name: Rashidi Mehrabadi, Armin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Woven fiber-reinforced polymer composites have become superior materials of choice in industries such as aerospace, energy and automotive, partly due to increased conformability to complex 3D shapes. Formability of woven composite reinforcements, however, is restricted by failure mechanisms such as wrinkling, and remains as a challenging issue for thermo-stamping operations. Wrinkling is today one of the most frequent defects arising during forming processes of composite materials, adversely affecting the quality of the final product, and coping with this defect requires fundamental knowledge and understanding of the fabric’s deformation mechanisms. This MASc thesis presents an analytical and experimental study on the shear deformation behavior of woven reinforcements from a multi-level standpoint as to more closely investigate the mechanisms behind formation of wrinkles. Namely, in the first stage of the research, sources of observed conflicts in the literature regarding the trend of tension-shear coupling in woven fabrics are discussed and resolved using a new characterization framework and a custom-design combined loading fixture. It is shown that in order to correctly characterize the tension-shear coupling behaviour in woven fabrics, instead of using global measured data, local normalized forces and displacements should be driven via a non-orthogonal transformation procedure, while considering kinematic force coupling in the test setup. In the second stage, a new characterization technique, namely a multi-step biaxial bias extension (MBBE) test, is proposed to determine the amount of required transverse de-wrinkling force, to flatten the wrinkles of different sizes. The underlying deformation mechanisms and the wrinkling/de-winkling force responses of the fabric are investigated, resulting into some potential practical design considerations for future 3D forming applications. Furthermore, the influence of yarn contact forces, bending rigidity, and tow slippage is highlighted for devising the de-wrinkling strategies. Finally, hemisphere forming experiments are carried out, attempting to find correlations between the results of 2D characterization experiments and those of 3D forming. Subsequently, a practical idea on modifying the blank holder geometry is proposed and validated for effectively suppressing the wrinkles and possibly other forming-induced defects during the fabric forming processes.
