description: This event had the theme ‘As local as necessary, as international as possible’. It focussed on strengthening the Japanese persistent identifier (PID) community and fostering linkages between Japan PID infrastructure and the wider community in the Asia–Pacific (APAC) region and globally.

The agenda provided an orientation of PIDs and related services, as well as insights about ORCID and DataCite in the APAC region and the activities of our Consortia. Participants learnt about use cases of PID implementation in research workflows in Japan (and APAC), and how implementation has aligned with organizational goals: showcasing success stories and challenges.

Bringing people together for stimulating conversations around points of interest to the community that are not possible virtually, the event was an opportunity to meet others with an interest in the adoption of PIDs and Open Science principles.

This event was co-hosted by ORCID and DataCite alongside the Academic eXchange for Information Environment and Strategy and the Japan Link Center, who respectively lead ORCID’s and DataCite’s Consortia in Japan. It was supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency. The event was co-located with the International Symposium on Data Science 2023 held on 11–15 December 2023 at the Science Council of Japan in Tokyo.

description: The global geometry of the universe is in principle as observable an attribute as local curvature. Previous studies have established that if the universe is wrapped into a flat hypertorus, the simplest compact space, then the fundamental domain must be at least 0.4 times the diameter of the observable universe. Despite a standard lore that the other five compact, orientable flat spaces are more weakly constrained, we find the same bound holds for all. Our analysis provides the first limits on compact cosmologies built from the identifications of hexagonal prisms.

Modelling the Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Arboreal Diversity of the UBC Vancouver Campus from 2050 to 2080
Creators: name: Liang, Chris
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Climate change poses a considerable risk to forest diversity in urban communities. The University of British Columbia (UBC) seeks to identify vulnerable tree species on campus and apply strategies for sustaining arboreal diversity in future decades. In contribution to these efforts, this study investigated the potential shift in tree composition on the UBC Vancouver Campus over the next century by (1) predicting suitable climatic habitat for 128 campus species in 2050 and 2080, and (2) mapping the expected change in species richness across North America. Species distribution modelling was performed to define the current range of temperature and precipitation conditions for each tree species. The ranges were projected into RCP 8.5 worst-case climate scenarios for 2050 and 2080 as defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Results indicate that climate change is expected to have a substantial impact on suitable habitat for trees on the UBC campus; 32% of the species are projected to lose their suitable climatic conditions on campus by 2080. On average, species ranges are projected to shift northwards by 8.1  (~ 900 km) in the coming century from 40.7  N to 48.7  N. Species estimated to have the greatest range shift such as silver birch (B. pendula) may require careful maintenance, or replacement with species of similar ecological function in the future. This study highlights the urgency of climate-induced habitat decline at UBC Vancouver and provides insight for a ‘Trees and Biodiversity’ strategy to restore and enhance arboreal diversity.

description: In this dissertation, I explore how male university graduates in Lahore go about securing mainly government employment. Ethnographic exploration of what seems to be an individual quest in the temporal juncture between completing a degree and securing full time employment is in fact an intensively social and political process. Participant observation of these career-building endeavors in and around a hostel, an ‘academy,’ and in a call center speaks to the way graduates orient themselves and endeavor to create their future in a stratified society. Accounts of experiences of job seekers reveal how different forms of capital are mobilized in educational processes. The goal that shapes aspirations and strategies is that of elite government service, indicative of a time of anemic economic growth and perceived political instability. The state then sets the standard for achievement of graduates’ career goals, motivated by security, status, and stability. Thus, the state looms large in the ways young men figure their future, in a way, becoming an arbiter in an encounter between job seekers and the structure of power relations. That is, unemployed graduates need to become worthy or achieve merit, adjusting or cultivating one’s habitus in order to get there.
      The foregoing suggests power relations in the eyes of young men are configured not only through social or cultural capital but by political capital. I thus highlight power in the self-making process that produces what I argue could be seen as a culturally-specific middle class subjectivity. I make the case for a ‘habitus’ that can be cultivated and shaped by political and economic conditions, loosening theory’s conceptual rigidity while highlighting the ways it mediates the temporal juncture between education and employment.

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

subject: 60J80, 60F15

description: A catalytic branching random walk on a multidimensional lattice, with arbitrary finite number of catalysts, is studied in supercritical regime. The dynamics of spatial spread of the particles population is examined, upon normalization. The components of the vector random walk jump are assumed independent (or close to independent) and have semi-exponential distributions with, possibly, different parameters. A limit theorem on the almost sure normalized positions of the particles at the population ``front'' is established. Contrary to the case of the random walk increments with ``light'' distribution tails, studied by Carmona and Hu (2014) in one-dimensional setting and Bulinskaya (2018) in multidimensional setting, the normalizing factor has a power rate and grows faster than linear in time function. The limiting shape of the front in the case of semi-exponential tails is non-convex in contrast to a convex one in the case of light tails.

We attempt to generalize the renormalization procedure which gives the Hopf-Cole solution for the single layer equation and our $h_1$ (solution to the first layer) coincides with this solution. However, we observe that cancellation of logarithmic divergences that occurs at the first layer does not hold at higher layers and develop explicit combinatorial formulae for them.

Inexact Methods for Symmetric Stochastic Eigenvalue Problems
Creators: name: Lee, Kookjin

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We study two inexact methods for solutions of random eigenvalue problems in the context of spectral stochastic finite elements. In particular, given a parameter-dependent, symmetric matrix operator, the methods solve for eigenvalues and eigenvectors represented using polynomial chaos expansions. Both methods are based on the stochastic Galerkin formulation of the eigenvalue problem and they exploit its Kronecker-product structure. The first method is an inexact variant of the stochastic inverse subspace iteration [B. Soused\'ık, H. C. Elman, SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty Quantification 4(1), pp. 163--189, 2016]. The second method is based on an inexact variant of Newton iteration. In both cases, the problems are formulated so that the associated stochastic Galerkin matrices are symmetric, and the corresponding linear problems are solved using preconditioned Krylov subspace methods with several novel hierarchical preconditioners. The accuracy of the methods is compared with that of Monte Carlo and stochastic collocation, and the effectiveness of the methods is illustrated by numerical experiments.

From template analysis to generating partitions I: Periodic orbits, knots and symbolic encodings

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: We present a detailed algorithm to construct symbolic encodings for chaotic attractors of three-dimensional flows. It is based on a topological analysis of unstable periodic orbits embedded in the attractor and follows the approach proposed by Lefranc et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 1364 (1994)]. For each orbit, the symbolic names that are consistent with its knot-theoretic invariants and with the topological structure of the attractor are first obtained using template analysis. This information, and the locations of the periodic orbits in the section plane, are then used to construct a generating partition by means of triangulations. We provide numerical evidence of the validity of this method by applying it successfully to sets of more than 1500 periodic orbits extracted from numerical simulations, and obtain partitions whose border is localized with a precision of 0.01%. A distinctive advantage of this approach is that the solution is progressively refined using higher-period orbits, which makes it robust to noise, and suitable for analyzing experimental time series. Furthermore, the resulting encodings are by construction consistent in the corresponding limits with those rigorously known for both one-dimensional and hyperbolic maps.

“Our Case Is Not Complete”: Sherlock Holmes, Victorian Spiritualism, and the Scientific Use of the Imagination
Creators: Ashe, Nathan
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: English literature
Spirituality

description: In this essay, I examine Conan Doyle’s Spiritualist works in relation to his Sherlock Holmes canon. I argue that these two bodies of work share an underlying philosophy, characterized by a belief in an objective truth that underlies reality, and creates an impression on the physical world. I further examine the epistemology of these works, focusing on the impact of the reconstructive sciences of archaeology, paleontology, and forensics on Sherlock Holmes and the Spiritualist canon. Conan Doyle’s works recognize that these sciences necessarily rely on imagination, which he emulates rather than condemns. In doing so, Conan Doyle suggests that the use of imagination is necessary in order to bridge the gap between the material world and the objective truth that underlies it. In both these bodies of work, therefore, imagination is held to have a unique and epistemologically valid access to truth. When an investigator relies upon his imaginative faculties he can not only accurately reconstruct the past, but also channel other people—an ability that Holmes uses in order to solve cases by apprehending criminals.

description: Measurement of operator quality performance has been challenging in the construction fabrication industry. Among various causes, the learning effect is a significant factor, which needs to be incorporated in achieving a reliable operator quality performance analysis. This research aims to enhance a previously developed operator quality performance measurement approach by incorporating the learning effect (i.e., work experience). To achieve this goal, the Plateau learning model is selected to quantitatively represent the relationship between quality performance and work experience through a beta-binomial regression approach. Based on this relationship, an informative prior determination approach, which incorporates operator work experience information, is developed to enhance the previous Bayesian-based operator quality performance measurement. Academically, this research provides a systematic approach to derive Bayesian informative priors through integrating multi-source information. Practically, the proposed approach reliably measures operator quality performance in fabrication quality control processes.

description: Magnetic nanoparticles are tiny magnets of the size of large molecules. These
nanoparticles can be used as markers for biomedical analysis with remarkable
properties. By homogenous magnetic fields they can be rotated and by gradient
fields they can be steered with magnetic forces. By antibody functionalization
of their surface other proteins can be coupled to the nanoparticles. This way the
mobility of the nanoparticle is changed, which can be detected macroscopically
by the modified response to external magnetic fields. Protein interaction can
help to deliver drugs and to localize infections or inflammations for diagnostic
or therapeutic purposes by magnetic particle imaging (MPI).

description: A pseudoclassical model for P,T-invariant system of topologically massive U(1) gauge fields is analyzed. The model demonstrates a nontrivial relationship between continuous and discrete symmetries and reveals a phenomenon of ``classical quantization''. It allows one to identify SU(1,1) symmetry and S(2,1) supersymmetry as hidden symmetries of the corresponding quantum system. We show this P,T-invariant quantum system realizes an irreducible representation of a non-standard super-extension of the (2+1)-dimensional Poincare group.

Urban Green Space Analysis on UBC Vancouver Campus : Integrating virtual gaming technology to map cultural use and biodiversity value of urban green space
Creators: name: Li, Yunyani (Ella)
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Rapid growth in urbanization has transformed natural landscapes into built-environments. Consequently, species biodiversity is threatened, while the innate relationship between humans and nature begins to fade gradually. Urban green spaces play a vital role in reconnecting human and urbanized landscape with its unique characteristics. Meanwhile, virtual gaming technology with applied geographic information has made a spectacular process to promote interactions between humans and their surroundings. A novel approach of combining Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data, ground-based inventory data, geographic information system (GIS) data, and geocoordinates derived from reality game Pokémon GO was applied to explore geospatial gaming technology’s application in mapping cultural use and biodiversity hotspots at a university campus. Five types of green space were identified: lawn, planting bed, planting bed on structure, athletic field, and urban forest. In order to capture a relatively complete understanding of cultural perception and vegetation biodiversity value, two green space assessments were conducted with a combination of factors: namely native species ratio, species richness, canopy cover and cultural interest. Both assessments highlighted the importance of urban forest. This green space type achieved 0.396 in the first assessment and 0.501 for the second assessment of cultural and biodiversity values. This research provided a primary resource that emphasized the preservation of urban forests needs to be prioritized in future campus planning and development.

description: Research has shown the efficacy of using convolutional neural networks (CNN) with audio spectrograms in machine listening tasks such as acoustic scene classification (ASC). There is, however, a knowledge gap when it comes to standardizing preprocessing practices for this form of ASC. Researchers using these methods have been moving forward in relative darkness about how to best represent their audio data for consumption by a CNN, often relying on transfer learning from adjacent machine listening tasks. This work explores the relationship of frequency limens and channel depth on ASC accuracy with CNNs of three different varieties: generic, deep, and wide. Results show that variability in the representation of spectral audio information plays a crucial role in classifier performance. Classification accuracy improved when using multi-channel representations of audio data over a single channel alternative. Classification accuracy also decreased when the representative spectra contained less frequency information, albeit to a lesser degree. This pattern was nearly consistent across each of the proposed CNN architectures. These findings have direct implications for several academic and industrial machine listening applications. In the academic realm, they work towards codifying audio data preprocessing practices and network architectural decisions. In industry, the results open the door for exploring the usage of substandard microphones in technologies that employ machine listening such as commodity hardware.

Like the regular ferromagnetic lattice models, it has a first-order transition when $q$ is greater than a critical value $q_c$, but $q_c$ is much larger - about 72 instead of 4.

description: The establishment of schools in prisons was a remarkable innovation in the prison reform movement of the Progressive Era in New York State, and represented a high point of success in the new vision of prisoner rehabilitation. While prison schools provided some support in filling the occupational void in prisoner time after the abolition of the contract labor system in prisons, and some form of social control by incentivizing good behavior, the prison school idea was also a humanitarian endeavor. Schooling was provided without immediate economic benefit to the State through product or labor; it was provided merely for the good of incarcerated men. In this dissertation, I argue that the prison schools, the hiring of professional educators, and the classification of inmates were reforms that, when taken together, formed tangible steps towards organizational, systemic, and policy shifts in prisons that brought to life the goals and aspirations of the prison reformers of the 1870 Congress of the National Prison Association, who envisioned the prison as “one great school” where all aspects of prison life would be subservient to instruction. Thus, prison schools contributed to the new vision for prisoner rehabilitation in the Progressive Era. The prison school experiment in New York stood apart from other states in its commitment to hiring experienced and educated teachers, providing a competitive salary, offering separate and dedicated space for classrooms, and establishing a progressive curriculum of standards. Prison school standards formed an important part of the progressive classification system for prisoners, particularly those with indeterminate sentences, and established stages for rehabilitation and release from prison. This dissertation explored aspects of the prison schools that were formally established at Sing Sing, Auburn, Clinton, and Great Meadow prisons. This study also explored the political, economic, and social climate of the Progressive Era that created optimal conditions for the prison school experiment. This research places prison schools at the center of the rehabilitation idea for prisoners in the Progressive Era. This fundamental shift in thinking from considering prisoners as property of the state to human beings in need of care and treatment opened up pathways for new practice. This research draws the connection between the end of the contract labor system in prisons and the beginning of prison schools. While there are numerous studies on prison labor reform and the shift in reformers’ thinking about hard labor and rehabilitation, few studies have made this connection. This research presents examples of how the theories of prisoner rehabilitation were put into practice through the prison school experiment in New York State during the Progressive Era.

description: The Milky Way's neutral hydrogen (HI) disk is warped and flared. However, a dearth of accurate HI-based distances has thus far prevented the development of an accurate Galactic disk model. Moreover, the extent to which our Galaxy's stellar and gas disk morphologies are mutually consistent is also unclear. Classical Cepheids, primary distance indicators with distance accuracies of 3-5%, offer a unique opportunity to develop an intuitive and accurate three-dimensional picture. Here, we establish a robust Galactic disk model based on 1339 classical Cepheids. We provide strong evidence that the warp's line of nodes is not oriented in the Galactic Center-Sun direction. Instead, it subtends a mean angle of 17.5 \pm 1 (formal) \pm 3 (systematic) and exhibits a leading spiral pattern. Our Galaxy thus follows Briggs' rule for spiral galaxies, which suggests that the origin of the warp is associated with torques forced by the massive inner disk. The stellar disk traced by Cepheids follows the gas disk in terms of their amplitudes; the stellar disk extends to at least 20 kpc. This morphology provides a crucial, updated map for studies of the kinematics and archaeology of the Galactic disk.

description: This dissertation is a study of the early career of the American architect-turned-artist Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978) that spans the years 1968 to 1972. Immersing himself in SoHo’s vibrant artistic community, of which he was both a catalyst and a nexus, Matta-Clark worked through the essential ideas and concerns that would inform his practice during this condensed but incredibly generative four-year period. The works that resulted are heterogeneous, united less by specific media than by a shared constellation of concepts. Foremost among these concepts is energy: a key trope in the cultural, theoretical, and artistic discourses of Matta-Clark’s late-1960s and early-1970s moment. In histories of this period (spurred, in part, by the attention paid to Matta-Clark’s peer, Robert Smithson), energy has often been aligned with entropy: a negative movement that leads to an ultimate stasis. In contrast, Matta-Clark marshaled energy as a creative force: a motor of the "metamorphic" processes that his works both enacted and pursued. By focusing on these four years, my study opens new perspectives on both Matta-Clark’s project and the artistic and discursive formation, Postminimalism, from which it is inextricable. In doing so, I defamiliarize art history’s current conception of Postminimalism, “requestioning” (to adopt Matta-Clark’s neologism) its central term, process, through his creative energetics.
One method for proving some classes of exponential analytic inequalities

description: In this paper we propose a method for proving some exponential inequalities based on power series expansion and analysis of derivations of the corresponding functions. Our approach provides a simple proof and generates a new class of appropriate inequalities, as well as allows direct establishment of the dependence between (the exponent of) some functions that occur as bounds of the approximation and the interval in which the corresponding inequality holds true.

description: Housing segregation and economic disparities between races continue to be urgent issues in the United States in spite of other progress made in the area of racial inequality. Housing segregation has been demonstrated again and again, in studies both old and new, to be related to a series of adverse conditions for minority communities. Individuals in segregated black neighborhoods, for instance, are more likely to be poor, to be unhealthy, and to be under-educated. These outcomes are not accidents and are not inevitable. This paper seeks to understand the causes and effects of residential segregation and particularly its relationship to economic inequities. In 1987, George Galster published an article entitled “Residential Segregation and Interracial Economic Disparities.” This paper, written nearly three decades ago, sought to understand these same issues. Dr. Galster developed a statistical technique to shed light on the mechanics of these disparities. He measured the effects of residential and occupational discrimination; white self segregation; and job and housing market characteristics on residential segregation and economic disparities. With only slight alterations that are described in detail later on, this thesis replicates the methodology described in Galster’s 1987 paper with the most recent available data. The hypothesis presented is that in spite of objective social progress in race relations in other areas, the dynamics of residential segregation and economic disparities have remained more or less unchanged. The numbers do not bear this out, however. Instead, an important transformation appears to have taken place. Having been unable to rule out the null hypothesis, the implications are less clear and objective than could be hoped. Nevertheless, the 3 migration of whites back into urban areas in recent years and the effects of gentrification may help explain some of the deviation from the predicted values.
In-Band and Inter-Band B(E2) Values within the Triaxial Projected Shell Model

description: The Triaxial Projected Shell Model (TPSM) has been successful in providing a microscopic description of the energies of multi-phonon vibrational bands in deformed nuclei. We report here on an extension of the TPSM to allow, for the first time, calculations of B(E2) values connecting gamma- and gamma-gamma-vibrational bands and the ground state band. The method is applied to 166,168Er. It is shown that most of the existing B(E2) data can be reproduced rather well, thus strongly supporting the classification of these states as gamma-vibrational states. However, significant differences between the data and the calculation are seen in those B(E2) values which involve odd-spin states of the gamma-band. Understanding these discrepancies requires accurate experimental measurements and perhaps further improvements of the TPSM.

description: The space-like hypersurface of the Universe at the present cosmological time is a three-dimensional manifold. A non-trivial global topology of this space-like hypersurface would imply that the apparently observable universe (the sphere of particle horizon radius) could contain several images of the single, physical Universe. Recent three-dimensional techniques for constraining and/or detecting this topology are reviewed. Initial applications of these techniques using X-ray bright clusters of galaxies and quasars imply (weak) candidates for a non-trivial topology.
