description: The influence of rotation on the properties of red giants is studied in the context of the asteroseismic modelling of these stars. While red giants exhibit low surface rotational velocities, we find that the rotational history of the star has a large impact on its properties during the red giant phase. In particular, for stars massive enough to ignite He burning in non-degenerate conditions, rotational mixing induces a significant increase of the stellar luminosity and shifts the location of the core helium burning phase to a higher luminosity in the HR diagram. This of course results in a change of the seismic properties of red giants at the same evolutionary state. As a consequence the inclusion of rotation significantly changes the fundamental parameters of a red giant star as determined by performing an asteroseismic calibration. In particular rotation decreases the derived stellar mass and increases the age. Depending on the rotation law assumed in the convective envelope and on the initial velocity of the star, non-negligible values of rotational splitting can be reached, which may complicate the observation and identification of non-radial oscillation modes for red giants exhibiting moderate surface rotational velocities. By comparing the effects of rotation and overshooting, we find that the main-sequence widening and the increase of the H-burning lifetime induced by rotation (Vini=150 km/s) are well reproduced by non-rotating models with an overshooting parameter of 0.1, while the increase of luminosity during the post-main sequence evolution is better reproduced by non-rotating models with overshooting parameters twice as large. This is due to the fact that rotation not only increases the size of the convective core but also changes the chemical composition of the radiative zone.

Lead isotope study of ores and adjacent rocks
Creators: name: Reynolds, Peter Herbert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the isotopic relationships between lead in orebodies and lead in adjacent igneous rocks. Past studies of rocks and ores have been largely uncorrelated, and, in addition, much of the published data is unreliable because of large experimental uncertainties and inadequate interlaboratory calibrations. These data have, however, suggested that most rock-leads originated in a system with a distinctly lower U/Pb ratio than the one associated with certain ore-leads. Samples were obtained for the present study from four selected areas. Both rock-leads and ore-leads were analyzed from Balmat, N.Y. and from Nelson, B.C. Rock-leads from Broken Hill, Australia and from West-Central New Mexico were also studied. The isotopic abundances of ore-leads from these latter two areas have already been determined in this laboratory. Identical experimental techniques were used throughout for both rocks and ores, and a precision of better than 0.10 per cent (one standard deviation) in the measurement of isotope ratios with respect to lead-204 was achieved. A systematic difference in isotopic composition was observed between certain of the above leads. In particular, rock-leads from Balmat and from the Nelson batholith, ore-leads from deposits associated with this batholith, and ore-leads from New Mexico (analyzed by J. Blenkinsop) were apparently derived from a primary system characterized by a present-day value of the U238/Pb204 ratio (the μ-value) equal to 8.7 to 8.8₅. The significance of the isotopic composition of rock-lead from New Mexico was not revealed by the one sample studied. On the other hand, ore-lead from one of the stratiform deposits at Balmat was apparently derived from a primary system with a μ-value of 9.0. This value agrees with the one obtained in this laboratory by R.G. Ostic for stratiform deposits selected by R.L. Stanton in accordance with geological criteria. It is also consistent with A.J. Sinclair's interpretation of the isotopic abundances of lead from the Sullivan mine and from deposits located in the Kootenay arc north and south of the Nelson batholith. In addition, both rock-leads and ore-leads from Broken Hill appear to reflect the existence of this higher μ system. The present study has therefore provided, for the first time, definitive evidence relative to the existence of two distinct distributions of primary μ-values. Several geophysical models are discussed in an attempt to reconcile this difference, and explain in general terms the evolution of lead isotope ratios in the earth. Also, for the first time, analyses of Nelson rocks and ores have provided clear evidence of a genetic relationship between ore deposits and granitic rocks. At the same time, lead isotope abundance patterns in plutonic rocks of batholithic dimensions were investigated.

description: The workshop brought together three very different areas of mathematics, namely singularity theory, integrable systems and quantum cohomology. They are linked by their applications in topological quantum field theory and by constructions of (often isomorphic) Frobenius manifolds. The first and second are related by a version of mirror symmetry, the link of the second and third has attracted much attention. The connection of the first and third is the least developed and was at the focus of the workshop.

description: Quantum-mechanical molecular-dynamics simulations are carried out to explore possible precursor states of nano-polycrystalline diamond, a novel ultra-hard material produced directly from graphite. Large-scale simulation with 10^5 atoms is realized by using the ' order-N' simulation code 'ELSES' (http://www.elses.jp). The simulation starts with a diamond structure that contains initial structural defects and results in a mixture of graphite(sp^2)-like and diamond(sp^3)-like regions as nano-meter-scale domains. We speculate that the domains are metastable and are possible candidates of the precursor structures.

description: We explicitly compute the causal structure of the Schwarzschild black hole spacetime, by providing an algorithm to decide if any pair of events is causally related. The primary motivation for this study comes from discrete quantum gravity, in particular the causal set approach, in which the fundamental variables can be thought of as the causal ordering of randomly selected events in spacetime. This work opens the way to simulating non-conformally flat spacetimes within the causal set approach, which may allow one to study important questions such as black hole entropy and Hawking radiation on a full four dimensional causal set black hole.

description: The earliest work in topology was often based on explicit combinatorial models – usually triangulations – for the spaces being studied. Although algebraic methods in topology gradually replaced combinatorial ones in the mid-1900s, the emergence of computers later revitalized the study of triangulations. By now there are several distinct mathematical communities actively doing work on different aspects of triangulations. The goal of this workshop was to bring the researchers from these various communities together to stimulate interaction and to benefit from the exchange of ideas and methods.

Exploring acceptable overtaking behaviour for automated vehicles
Creators: name: Sourelli, Anna-Maria
Publisher: name: Loughborough University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Design not elsewhere classified

description: Modern transport research focuses on Automated Vehicle (AV) technologies, which are expected to significantly improve road safety, since most driver related accidents can be prevented. AVs will have to navigate in mixed traffic conditions, including vehicles of varying speeds, making overtaking an essential driving task. In order to encourage their uptake, the automated driving style will need to be acceptable to the user. Consequently, it is important to identify the parameters that affect overtaking acceptability, including manoeuvre characteristics, driving context and individual preferences. Driving situations of increased objective risk in manual driving constitute a priority for the implementation of automated features and are also likely to introduce perceived risk to AV passengers. Therefore, when investigating acceptable overtaking, test scenarios should account for situational factors related to objective risk. The range of variation of the overtaking characteristics that human drivers usually maintain can eliminate the feeling of a robotic operator and support the design of acceptable trajectories. Therefore, the current thesis aims to explore acceptable overtaking by (i) determining scenarios that are likely to introduce objective and thus perceived risk, (ii) investigating the parameters that affect acceptability in the identified driving situations and (iii) examining real-world overtaking behaviour. A cluster analysis was performed on the UK in-depth study RAIDS (Road Accident In-depth Studies) to mine combinations of situational factors related to overtaking crashes. Selected motorway overtaking scenarios were presented to 237 participants through an online survey to identify the impact of manoeuvre characteristics, driving context and driver characteristics on perceived risk and overall acceptability. The results indicated a strong impact of manoeuvre characteristics (pull-out distance, manoeuvre duration, speed) and a limited effect of the driving context and driver related characteristics. Real world overtaking behaviour under different traffic conditions was investigated by determining the variability of the pull-out comfort zone and modelling the examined manoeuvre characteristics of 1740 lane changes acquired from the naturalistic dataset highD. The results highlighted the significant impact of the surrounding traffic and the driving characteristics on or before the manoeuvre initiation point, which reflected the overtaking strategy selected (flying or accelerative). The findings of this thesis can inform the design of user centred systems that assist or autonomously perform overtaking and thus create a positive passenger experience. Specifically, the research proposes context adaptive relationships of vehicle kinematic parameters to ensure pull-out manoeuvres meet the requirements of user acceptability.
Time domain studies of short period teleseismic P phases
Creators: name: Basham, Peter William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Forty-one seismic events recorded on the plains of western Alberta are subjected to a detailed study in the time domain. A "P-detection" time-varying polarization filter is described and applied to the events to detect segments of strong P motion in the first 25 seconds of the P phase coda. On seismograms of 23 events, 12 of which have reported depths shallower than 40 km, pP phases have been identified; sP phases have been identified on 9 of the events. Considering estimated accuracies of observed and calculated pP-P times, assigned focal depths are accurate to within ±15 km. A varying upper crustal structure is found to make a similar contribution to the vertical components of the P phase for stations at separations up to 160 km. The radial components at these stations are similar only during time segments of strong P motion. The dissimilarity in other time segments of the radial components is attributed to different amplitudes and time-delays for PS converted phases generated at crustal layer interfaces. The largest PS converted phase, with amplitude up to about 1.5 that of P, is generated at the base of the sediments. A small number of PS converted phases generated at the base of the crust have been identified.

description: We theoretically study the realization of a multi-qubit refined Deutsch-Jozsa (DJ) algorithm using resonant interaction of many Rydberg atoms with a single-mode microwave cavity, in which the multi-qubit controlled phase gates could be accomplished efficiently. We show how to achieve a multi-qubit refined DJ algorithm in high fidelity, even in the case of a weak cavity decay and some imperfection. We argue that the required operations in our scheme are almost within the present experimental possibilities.

Development practitioners largely see the process of consultation as a beneficial but technical process, an element of policy creation to be carried out where time and resources allow. Citizens and participants in consultation meetings on the other hand see these processes as highly political and in the case of the Los Palos land law consultation of 2009, largely disempowering

description: We study the properties of the Google matrix generated by a coarse-grained Perron-Frobenius operator of the Chirikov typical map with dissipation. The finite size matrix approximant of this operator is constructed by the Ulam method. This method applied to the simple dynamical model creates the directed Ulam networks with approximate scale-free scaling and characteristics being rather similar to those of the World Wide Web. The simple dynamical attractors play here the role of popular web sites with a strong concentration of PageRank. A variation of the Google parameter $α$ or other parameters of the dynamical map can drive the PageRank of the Google matrix to a delocalized phase with a strange attractor where the Google search becomes inefficient.

description: Color magnetic flux tubes appear in the color-flavor locked phase of high density QCD, which exhibits color superconductivity as well as superfluidity. They are non-Abelian superfluid vortices and are accompanied by orientational zero modes in the internal space associated with the color-flavor locked symmetry spontaneously broken in the presence of the vortex. We show that those zero modes are localized around the vortex in spite of the logarithmic divergence of its tension, and derive the low-energy effective theory of them on the world-sheet of the vortex-string.

description: We give the generalization of the method of the space-time description of particle creation by a gravitational field for a scalar field with nonconformal coupling to the curvature. The space-time correlation function is obtained for a created pair of the quasi-particles, corresponding to a diagonal form of the instantaneous Hamiltonian. The case of an adiabatic change of the metric of homogeneous isotropic space is analyzed. We show that the created pairs of quasi-particles in de Sitter space should be interpreted as pairs of virtual particles.

description: Compound weather and climate events refer to multiple drivers and hazards that combine to cause impacts on ecosystems and society. These drivers and hazards can combine in various ways — across time (preconditioned and temporally compounding events), across space (spatially compounding events), and/or across multiple climate variables (multivariate events) — giving rise to a myriad of possible events. Owing to their complex nature, compound events can result in particularly severe impacts as multiple adverse conditions can interact and amplify. Systematic monitoring of when, where and how these events occur enhances our understanding of their dynamics and helps mitigate the risks associated with their impacts. Here, we examine compound events that occurred in 2024 around the globe (Fig. 1). Given the vast number of individual occurrences, we focus on a selection of particularly impactful episodes across the different compound event types.

description: Highways, streets, railroad lines, transit systems, ports, and other transportation fixed assets enable the movement of people and goods. Investment in transportation fixed assets helps build and maintain these critical resources. The pattern of transportation investment has varied over time. Federal, State, and local governments, the private sector, and households all invest in transportation. Investment is defined as spending on assets that take more than a year to consume and include transportation structures, motor vehicles, and other equipment (aircraft, ships and boats, etc.). Investment in transportation structures comprises transportation assets that have a fixed location, such as highways and streets. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) provides data on fixed investment in new transportation assets (structures and equipment) and household purchase of transportation assets in the National Income and Product Accounts. The BEA data on fixed investment in new transportation assets cover all public and private (business) investments in transportation, except pipeline and natural gas. Spending on pipeline infrastructure is embedded in mining infrastructure investment. All public and private investment data are on new structures and equipment and do not include maintenance and repair of existing structures or equipment.
A digital model of fluctuations in wells produced by fluctuations in nearby surface waters
Creators: name: McTaggart-Cowan, Gillian Hope
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Fluctuation of water levels in wells due to fluctuations of the nearby surface water (by tides, ships, dams) interfere with well analysis by standard field techniques. Therefore an attempt has been made to approximate these variations analytically. These calculated values could then be used to approach a static water level. The basic ground water theory was considered for confined and unconfined aquifers. The same linear approximation for the equation of the variations of the water level was obtained. This was a diffusion equation. The sinusoidal solution was considered in conjunction with the tides, considered as a sum of sine waves. However this approach was limited to the tides and was quite lengthy. A better method was developed which approximates the earth as a digital filter, fully described by the diffusion equation and its geological and geometrical parameters. An application of this technique showed good time correlation with the actual data and good sensitivity to the ratio of the appropriate parameters. Accordingly, it is proposed that a method incorporating this filter could be used as a tool in the assessment of preliminary wells.

description: The economic recovery following the Great Recession through the end of 2016 was slow but steady. That same pattern was evident in transportation services where the Transportation Services Index (TSI), which comprises both passenger and freight indexes, once again rose above the long-term growth trend, suggesting that TSI continues to broadly mirror growth in the economy. The freight TSI began to rise quickly after turning in May 2009 (one month ahead of the economic acceleration following the recession) but has since slowed. Rail ton miles and truck tonnage have not regained their earlier growth rate. This failure to regain the pace of pre-recession growth is more dramatic for rail traffic than it is for truck tonnage. The purpose of this paper is to explain the method for estimating growth in the TSI above the long-term trend and to show in detail how that growth changed from the period before the recession to afterwards.

description: We combine density functional theory (DFT) with molecular dynamics simulations based on an accurate atomistic force field to calculate the pressure derivative of the melting temperature of magnesium oxide at ambient pressure - a quantity for which a serious disagreement between theory and experiment has existed for almost 15 years. We find reasonable agreement with previous DFT results and with a very recent experimental determination of the slope. We pay particular attention to areas of possible weakness in theoretical calculations and conclude that the long-standing discrepancy with experiment could only be explained by a dramatic failure of existing density functionals or by flaws in the original experiment.
Classical Algebraic Geometry

Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: Progress in algebraic geometry often comes through the introduction of new tools and ideas to tackle the classical problems the development of the field. Examples include new invariants that capture some aspect of geometry in a novel way, such as the derived category, and the extension of the class of geometric objects considered to allow constructions not previously possible, such as the transition from varieties to schemes or from schemes to stacks. Many famous old problems and outstanding conjectures have been resolved in this way over the last 50 years. While the new theories are sometimes studied for their own sake, they are in the end best understood in the context of the classical questions they illuminate. The goal of the workshop was to study new developments in algebraic geometry, with a view toward their application to the classical problems.

description: High-frequency data observed on the prices of financial assets are commonly modeled by diffusion processes with micro-structure noise, and realized volatility-based methods are often used to estimate integrated volatility. For problems involving a large number of assets, the estimation objects we face are volatility matrices of large size. The existing volatility estimators work well for a small number of assets but perform poorly when the number of assets is very large. In fact, they are inconsistent when both the number, $p$, of the assets and the average sample size, $n$, of the price data on the $p$ assets go to infinity. This paper proposes a new type of estimators for the integrated volatility matrix and establishes asymptotic theory for the proposed estimators in the framework that allows both $n$ and $p$ to approach to infinity. The theory shows that the proposed estimators achieve high convergence rates under a sparsity assumption on the integrated volatility matrix. The numerical studies demonstrate that the proposed estimators perform well for large $p$ and complex price and volatility models. The proposed method is applied to real high-frequency financial data.

Learning Theory and Approximation
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: Zürich : EMS Publ. House
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: Learning theory studies data structures from samples and aims at understanding unknown function relations behind them. This leads to interesting theoretical problems which can be often attacked with methods from Approximation Theory. This workshop - the second one of this type at the MFO - has concentrated on the following recent topics: Learning of manifolds and the geometry of data; sparsity and dimension reduction; error analysis and algorithmic aspects, including kernel based methods for regression and classification; application of multiscale aspects and of refinement algorithms to learning.

description: During the 5 years from 2008 through 2012, motor vehicle crashes killed 34,091 people each year in the United States, on average, 23,783 (69.8) percent of whom were motor vehicle occupants. This study analyzes motor vehicle occupant fatality risk in terms of person-time exposed as a function of age, sex, period of week, and interactions of these factors. Results reveal strong circadian periodicities of occupant fatalities and fatality risk, with greater risk during late evening-early morning hours every day of the week and the greatest risk during Friday–Saturday and Saturday–Sunday evening-to-morning hours. But these circadian trends interact with age and sex whereby young male occupants exhibit the most fatalities and risk. The circadian variation in occupant fatality risk-across demographic age-sex populations, days of the week, and drunk- and non-drunk-driver-related fatal crashes - suggests a drowsiness component acting alone, and sometimes synergistically with alcohol, to impair the judgment and performance of motor vehicle occupants.

description: A total of 3,378 bike-share stations operate in 104 U.S cities. Of the 3,378 bike-share stations, 77.0 percent (2,600) connect to another scheduled public transportation mode within 1 block. These connections extend the transportation network by offering a means for reaching places with scheduled public transportation (e.g., heavy rail stations and local bus stops) and a means for reaching destinations not served by scheduled public transportation. Transit bus is the most typical connection, with 74.9 percent (2531) of bike-share stations located a block or less from a transit bus stop. Bike-share systems enhance modal choice and extend the existing transportation system by providing access to destinations off existing public transportation routes.

Codimension-2 black hole solutions on a thin 3-brane and their extension into the bulk
Creators: name: Tsoukalas, Minas

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this talk we discuss black hole solutions in six-dimensional gravity with a Gauss- Bonnet term in the bulk and an induced gravity term on a thin 3-brane of codimension-2. It is shown that these black holes can be localized on the 3-brane, and they can further be extended into the bulk by a warp function. These solutions have regular horizons and no other curvature singularities appear apart from the string-like ones. The projection of the Gauss-Bonnet term on the brane imposes a constraint relation which requires the presence of matter in the extra dimensions, in order to sustain our solutions.
