description: We provide the first unbiased evidence for a higher-order topological Mott insulator in three dimensions by numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo simulations. This insulating phase is adiabatically connected to a third-order topological insulator in the noninteracting limit, which features gapless modes around the corners of the pyrochlore lattice and is characterized by a $\mathbb{Z}_{4}$ spin-Berry phase. The difference between the correlated and non-correlated topological phases is that in the former phase the gapless corner modes emerge only in spin excitations being Mott-like. We also show that the topological phase transition from the third-order topological Mott insulator to the usual Mott insulator occurs when the bulk spin gap solely closes.

description: We study the effects of rotation on the torsional modes of oscillating relativistic stars with a solid crust. Earlier works in Newtonian theory provided estimates of the rotational corrections for the torsional modes and suggested that they should become CFS unstable, even for quite low rotation rates. In this work, we study the effect of rotation in the context of general relativity using elasticity theory and in the slow-rotation approximation. We find that the Newtonian picture does not change considerably. The inclusion of relativistic effects leads only to quantitative corrections. The degeneracy of modes for different values of $m$ is removed, and modes with $\ell=m$ are shifted towards zero frequencies and become secularly unstable at stellar rotational frequencies $\sim$ 20-30 Hz.

An example of planning for sustainable production : the dry-cell battery problem
Creators: name: Kowey, Bernadette Nola
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Growing awareness of world-wide environmental degradation has prompted the global community to explore alternatives to present human activities, and present economic development models. One concept which has emerged within this exploration is that of Sustainable Development. This thesis specifically uses the concept of Sustainable Development as Rees (1988, 1988a, 1989) and Gardner (1989) define it. Sustainable development will require substantial changes in the productive sphere. An 'energy spiral' is used to depict each stage necessary in the creation, use and disposal of a good. The social and environmental costs of each of these stages of production are explored. The positive impact of integrating re-use, recycling, recovery and replacement strategies into the consumption, production and disposal cycle for goods is described. In this thesis dry-cell batteries are used as an example of products which create problems in their disposal: heavy metals contained in these batteries exist in concentrations which require these spent batteries to be considered hazardous waste. Responses to this problem in other countries are described and critiqued. Present methods and planned strategies for hazardous waste disposal within the GVRD and the city of Vancouver are noted, and analyzed as to the sustainability of these methods and strategies. Specific plans for the disposal of dry-cell batteries are described and critiqued. Using the principles for sustainable development from Gardner (1989) and the 'energy spiral' together provides a synthesis of these two concepts. This framework provides planners and analysts a base from which strategies for sustainable production can be determined. The possibilities for use of this framework are explored, with a specific focus on dry-cell batteries. In considering the whole life-cycle of such a product, and not just focussing on the disposal stage of that cycle, responses that are more useful and pro-active can be devised. Some of the organizations and structures which presently exist and will be useful in establishing a base for the kinds of change that sustainable development will require are mentioned.
Using HPC infrastructures for deep learning applications in fusion research

description: In the fusion community, the use of high performance computing (HPC) has been mostly dominated by heavy-duty plasma simulations, such as those based on particle-in-cell and gyrokinetic codes. However, there has been a growing interest in applying machine learning for knowledge discovery on top of large amounts of experimental data collected from fusion devices. In particular, deep learning models are especially hungry for accelerated hardware, such as graphics processing units (GPUs), and it is becoming more common to find those models competing for the same resources that are used by simulation codes, which can be either CPU- or GPU-bound. In this paper, we give examples of deep learning models -- such as convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, and variational autoencoders -- that can be used for a variety of tasks, including image processing, disruption prediction, and anomaly detection on diagnostics data. In this context, we discuss how deep learning can go from using a single GPU on a single node to using multiple GPUs across multiple nodes in a large-scale HPC infrastructure.

description: A continuous system such as a galactic disc is shown to be well approximated by an N-ring differentially rotating self-gravitating system. Lowest order (m=1) non-axisymmetric features such as lopsidedness and warps are global in nature and quite common in the discs of spiral galaxies. Apparently these two features of the galactic discs have been treated like two completely disjoint phenomena. The present analysis based on an eigenvalue approach brings out clearly that these two features are fundamentally similar in nature and they are shown to be very Low frequency Normal Mode (LNM) oscillations manifested in different symmetry planes of the galactic disc. Our analysis also show that these features are actually long-lived oscillating pattern of the N-ring self-gravitating system.

description: Object recognition has made great advances in the last decade, but predominately still relies on many high-quality training examples per object category. In contrast, learning new objects from only a few examples could enable many impactful applications from robotics to user personalization. Most few-shot learning research, however, has been driven by benchmark datasets that lack the high variation that these applications will face when deployed in the real-world. To close this gap, we present the ORBIT dataset and benchmark, grounded in the real-world application of teachable object recognizers for people who are blind/low-vision. The dataset contains 3,822 videos of 486 objects recorded by people who are blind/low-vision on their mobile phones. The benchmark reflects a realistic, highly challenging recognition problem, providing a rich playground to drive research in robustness to few-shot, high-variation conditions. We set the benchmark's first state-of-the-art and show there is massive scope for further innovation, holding the potential to impact a broad range of real-world vision applications including tools for the blind/low-vision community. We release the dataset at https://doi.org/10.25383/city.14294597 and benchmark code at https://github.com/microsoft/ORBIT-Dataset.

description: Light ion (A<5) breakup cross sections are important for studies of cosmic ray interactions in the inter-stellar medium or radiation protection considerations of energy deposition in tissue. Nucleon abrasion cross sections for heavy ion reactions are often calculated using the Glauber model in the large mass limit or with the Eikonal form of the optical potential model. Here we formulate an abrasion model for 4He nuclei fragmentation on hydrogen targets with a classical model for final state interactions. Comparisons to the heavy ion abrasion model are made. Calculations of energy dependent total, absorption, elastic and breakup cross sections for 4He into 3He or 3H with protons targets are shown to be in good agreement with experimental measurements for energies from 100 to 100,000 MeV/u. The Glauber model for light nuclei and the large mass limit to the model are shown to be in close agreement for 4He-proton interactions above 300 MeV/u, however important differences occur at lower energies.

description: Free-spawning marine animals such as the red abalone, Haliotis rufescens, need densely aggregated populations for successful external fertilization in the water column. Red abalones are known to contract their muscular bodies while spawning, which may increase gamete dispersal by pushing plumes of gametes higher up into the water column, ushering gametes within reach of other spawning adults. We hypothesized that the heights of egg plumes would increase with increasing contractile forces. We measured the contractile forces of 15 female adult red abalones and captured the changes in the heights of the resultant egg plumes during free-spawning using high-speed videos at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, San Pedro, California between September 2019 and February 2020. We found that the egg plume heights were positively and non-linearly impacted by the contraction forces, and abalones possessing a third open respiratory pore had plumes that were 2.69 cm taller on average. We also found that larger gonad widths positively impacted the plume heights. This new information about the impact of abalone contraction forces on egg plumes will enhance our knowledge of abalone reproductive behaviors, launch future studies, and guide restoration strategies and policies for protected abalone species.

Ambiguous Behavior of Logic Bistable Systems

ambiguous behavior

description: The standard specification of logic bistable devices do not specify the behavior under conditions in which the input is logically undefined or in which certain kinds of multiple input changes occur. These conditions are unavoidable in logic synchronizers and arbiters. A general deterministic model of bistable devices is proposed, consisting of a non-liner differential system with some adequate properties. Analysis of this model shows that bistable devices can be driven into a logically undefined region by certain admissible inputs and can remain in this region for an unbounded length of time.

description: The TinyML technique refers to the set of approaches that enable the implementation of machine learning algorithms in devices with limited computational resources and memory capacity, such as embedded systems. This work addressed two ways to implement such techniques: model optimization and compression, exploring different technologies. In addition, specific details related to this TinyML approach in the development process were presented, with an emphasis on portability and scalability. The evaluation of the proposed solution will allow to analyze the impact and effectiveness of the use of TinyML in the implementation of machine learning systems in microcontrollers with limited resources.

description: With the first light of COROT, the preparation of KEPLER and the future helioseismology spatial projects such as GOLF-NG, a coherent picture of the evolution of rotating stars from their birth to their death is needed. We describe here the modelling of the macroscopic transport of angular momentum and matter in stellar interiors that we have undertaken to reach this goal. First, we recall in detail the dynamical processes that are driving these mechanisms in rotating stars and the theoretical advances we have achieved. Then, we present our new results of numerical simulations which allow us to follow in 2D the secular hydrodynamics of rotating stars, assuming that anisotropic turbulence enforces a shellular rotation law. Finally, we show how this work is leading to a dynamical vision of the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram with the support of asteroseismology and helioseismology, seismic observables giving constraints on the modelling of the internal transport and mixing processes. In conclusion, we present the different processes that should be studied in the next future to improve our description of stellar radiation zones.

description: A refined dynamic finite-strain shell theory for incompressible hyperelastic materials was developed by the authors recently. In this paper, we first derive the associated linearized incremental theory, and then use it to investigate wave propagation in a fiber-reinforced hyperelastic tube that is subjected to an axial pre-stretch and internal pressure. We obtain the dispersion relations for both axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric waves and discuss their accuracy by comparing them with the exact dispersion relations. The bending effect is also examined by comparing the dispersion curves based on the present theory and membrane theory. It is shown that the present theory is more accurate than the membrane theory in studying wave propagation and the bending effect plays an important role in some wave modes for relatively large wavenumbers. The effects of the pressure, axial pre-stretch and fiber angle on the dispersion relations are displayed. These results provide the necessary validation for using the refined dynamic finite-strain shell theory and wave propagation to determine arterial properties.

Detecting LISA sources using time-frequency techniques

description: The planned Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect gravitational wave signals from a wide range of sources. However, disentangling individual signals from the source-dominated data stream is a challenging problem and the focus of much current research. The problems are particularly acute for detection of extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs), for which the instantaneous signal amplitude is an order of magnitude below the level of the instrumental noise, and the parameter space of possible signals is too large to permit fully-coherent matched filtering. One possible approach is to attempt to identify sources in a time-frequency spectrogram of the LISA data. This is a computationally cheap method that may be useful as a first stage in a hierarchical analysis. Initial results, evaluated using a significantly simplified model of the LISA data stream, suggest that time-frequency techniques might be able to detect the nearest few tens of EMRI events. In this proceedings article, we briefly outline the methods that have so far been applied to the problem, initial results and possible future directions for the research.

Baryogenesis from Gravitational Decay of TeV-Particles in Theories with Low Scale Gravity

description: In models with the fundamental gravity scale in the TeV range, early cosmology is quite different from the standard picture, because the universe must have arisen at a much lower temperature and the electroweak symmetry was probably never restored. In this context, baryogenesis appears to be problematic: if the involved physics is essentially that of the Standard Model, ``conventional'' non-conserving baryon number processes are completely negligible at such low temperatures. In this paper we show that the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe may be generated by gravitational decay of TeV-mass particles: such objects can be out of equilibrium after inflation and, if their mass is of the same order of magnitude as the true quantum gravity scale, they can quickly decay through a black hole intermediate state, violating global symmetries, in particular, baryon number. In this context, we take advantage of the fact that the ``Sakharov conditions'' for baryogenesis can be more easily satisfied with a low fundamental scale of gravity.

description: A $d$-dimensional binary Markov random field on a lattice torus is considered. As the size $n$ of the lattice tends to infinity, potentials $a=a(n)$ and $b=b(n)$ depend on $n$. Precise bounds for the probability for local configurations to occur in a large ball are given. Under some conditions bearing on $a(n)$ and $b(n)$, the distance between copies of different local configurations is estimated according to their weights. Finally, a sufficient condition ensuring that a given local configuration occurs everywhere in the lattice is suggested.

description: The reciprocity principle governs the symmetry in transmission of electromagnetic and acoustic waves, as well as the diffusion of heat between two points in space, with important consequences for thermal management and energy harvesting. There has been significant recent interest in materials with time-modulated properties, which have been shown to efficiently break reciprocity for light, sound, and even charge diffusion. Quite surprisingly, here we show that, from a practical point of view, time modulation cannot generally be used to break reciprocity for thermal diffusion. We establish a theoretical framework to accurately describe the behavior of diffusive processes under time modulation, and prove that thermal reciprocity in dynamic materials is generally preserved by the continuity equation, unless some external bias or special material is considered. We then experimentally demonstrate reciprocal heat transfer in a time-modulated device. Our findings correct previous misconceptions regarding reciprocity breaking for thermal diffusion, revealing the generality of symmetry constraints in heat transfer, and clarifying its differences from other transport processes in what concerns the principles of reciprocity and microscopic reversibility.

description: This paper discusses the dynamical properties of $p$-spin models with Kac kind interactions. For large but finite interaction range $R$ one finds two different time scales for relaxation. A first relaxation roughly independent of $R$ where the system is confined to limited regions of the configuration space and an $R$ dependent time scale where the system is able to escape the confining regions. I will argue that the $R$ independent time scales can be described through dynamical mean field theory, while non-perturbative new techniques have to be used to deal with the $R$ dependent scales.

description: Children regularly encounter growing and decreasing patterns in songs, games, and daily routines. Over development, children learn to extend and abstract (i.e., recreate the pattern using different materials) growing patterns made of shapes or numbers. Critically, performance on patterning tasks relates to mathematical performance later in childhood. Can instruction about the pattern unit help children learn skills for working with growing patterns? We addressed this question in an online experiment in which kindergarten through second-grade children (N = 84) in the United States were randomly assigned to one of two lessons about shape pattern extension or to a block rotation lesson (control). Both of the pattern lessons focused on using the pattern unit to extend shape patterns; one lesson also included subtle perceptual support to highlight the pattern unit, building on past research suggesting the benefits of perceptual support for learning. Both lessons about shape extension helped children learn to extend shape patterns and use a pattern unit strategy. However, lessons with perceptual support did not provide additional benefits. Further, the lessons did not lead to gains in extending number patterns or abstracting shape or number patterns. On both extension and abstraction tasks, children who used the pattern unit strategy were significantly more accurate than were participants who did not use the pattern unit strategy.

description: All higher-spin s >= 1/2 Ising spin glasses are studied by renormalization-group theory in spatial dimension d=3. The s-sequence of global phase diagrams, the chaos Lyapunov exponent, and the spin-glass runaway exponent are calculated. It is found that, in d=3, a finite-temperature spin-glass phase occurs for all spin values, including the continuum limit of s \rightarrow \infty. The phase diagrams, with increasing spin s, saturate to a limit value. The spin-glass phase, for all s, exhibits chaotic behavior under rescalings, with the calculated Lyapunov exponent of λ= 1.93 and runaway exponent of y_R=0.24, showing simultaneous strong-chaos and strong-coupling behaviors. The ferromagnetic-spinglass-antiferromagnetic phase transitions occurring around p_t = 0.37 and 0.63 are unaffected by s, confirming the percolative nature of this phase transition.

description: Dielectric and magnetic phenomena in spin and charge frustrated system RFe2O4 (R is a rare-earth metal ion) are studied. An electronic model for charge, spin and orbital degrees in a pair of triangular-lattice planes is derived. We analyze this model by utilizing the mean-field approximation and the Monte-Carlo simulation in a finite size cluster. A three fold-type charge ordered structure with charge imbalance between the planes is stabilized in finite temperatures. This polar charge order is reinforced by spin ordering of Fe ions. This novel magneto-dielectric phenomenon is caused by spin frustration and charge-spin coupling in the exchange interaction. We show cross-correlation effect in magnetic- and electric-field responses. Oxygen deficiency effect as an impurity effect in a frustrated charge-spin coupled system is also examined.

description: We present a short overview on the ideas of large extra-dimensions and their implications for the possible production of micro black holes in the next generation particle accelerator at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) from this year on. In fact, the possibility of black hole production on earth is currently one of the most exciting predictions for the LHC accelerator and would change our current understanding of physics radically. While it is impossible to discuss the models and implications in full detail here, this article is thought to serve as a starting point for the interested physics students with some basic knowledge about general relativity and particle physics.

description: The development of new x-ray imaging techniques often requires prior knowledge of tissue attenuation, but the sources of such information are sparse. We have measured the attenuation of adipose breast tissue using spectral imaging, in vitro and in vivo. For the in-vitro measurement, fixed samples of adipose breast tissue were imaged on a spectral mammography system, and the energy-dependent x-ray attenuation was measured in terms of equivalent thicknesses of aluminum and poly-methyl methacrylate (PMMA). For the in-vivo measurement, a similar procedure was applied on a number of spectral screening mammograms. The results of the two measurements agreed well and were consistent with published attenuation data and with measurements on tissue-equivalent material.

description: The inspirals of compact objects into massive black holes are some of the most exciting of the potential sources of gravitational waves for the planned Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). Observations of such extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) will not only reveal to us the properties of black holes in the Universe, but will allow us to verify that the space-time structure around massive compact objects agrees with the predictions of relativity. Detection of EMRI signals via matched filtering and interpretation of the observations will require models of the gravitational waveforms. The extreme mass ratio allows accurate waveforms to be computed from black hole perturbation theory, but this is computationally expensive and has not yet been fully developed. Ongoing research to scope out LISA data analysis algorithms requires waveforms that can be generated quickly in large numbers. To fulfil this purpose, families of approximate, "kludge", EMRI waveforms have been developed that capture the main features of true EMRI waveforms, but that can also be generated for a comparatively small computational cost. In this proceedings article, we briefly outline one such waveform family (the "numerical kludge"), its accuracy and some possible ways in which it might be improved in the future. Although accurate parameter extraction will require use of perturbative waveforms, these approximate waveforms are sufficiently faithful to the true waveforms that they may be able to play a role in detection of EMRIs in the LISA data.

AdS/CFT Approach to Melvin Field Deformed Wilson Loop

description: We first apply the transformation of mixing azimuthal and internal coordinate to the 11D M-theory with a stack N M2-branes to find the spacetime of a stack of N D2-branes with Melvin one-form in 10D IIA string theory, after the Kaluza-Klein reduction. Next, we apply the Melvin twist to the spacetime and perform the T duality to obtain the background of a stack of N D3-branes. In the near-horizon limit the background becomes the Melvin field deformed $AdS_5 \times S^5$ with NS-NS B field. In the AdS/CFT correspondence it describes a non-commutative gauge theory with non-constant non-commutativity in the Melvin field deformed spacetime. We study the Wilson loop therein by investigating the classical Nambu-Goto action of the corresponding string configuration and find that, contrast to that in the undeformed spacetime, the string could be localized near the boundary. Our result shows that while the geometry could only modify the Coulomb type potential in IR there presents a minimum distance between the quarks. We argue that the mechanism behind producing a minimum distance is coming from geometry of the Melvin field deformed background and is not coming from the space non-commutativity.

Interior point search for nonparametric image segmentation

description: Precise object boundary detection for automatic image segmentation is critical for image analysis, including that used in computer-aided diagnosis. However, such detection traditionally uses active contour or snake models requiring accurate initialization and parameter optimization. Identifying optimal parameter values requires time-consuming multiple runs and provides results that vary by user expertise, limiting the use of these models in high-throughput or real-time situations. Thus, we developed a nonparametric snake model using an interior point search method applied in iterations to find and improve the set of snake points forming the edge of a shape. At each iteration, one or more snake points are replaced by others in the edge map. We validated the model using binary and continuous edge images of single and multiple objects, and noisy and real images, comparing the results to those obtained using traditional snake models. The proposed model not only provides better results on all image types tested but is more robust than traditional snake models. Unlike traditional snake models, the proposed model requires no user interaction for initializing snakes and no pre-processing of noisy images. Thus, our method offers robust automatic image segmentation that is simpler to use and less time-consuming than traditional snake models

The relationship between growth rate and precocious sexual maturation in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and coho salmon (O. kisutch)
Creators: name: Lamont, Carole Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Rainbow trout {Oncorhynchus mykiss) and coho salmon (0. kisutch) produce males which mature at an abnormally early age. The objectives of this study were to critically describe the role of growth rate in early sexual maturation of male salmonids by monitoring growth rate and precocious sexual development in individually identified fish. Underyearling rainbow trout were individually identified using coded tags. These fish were reared at 9°C and 15°C and growth was monitored twice a month in both groups over a 9 month period starting January 24, 1989. The number of precocious males in the 9°C and 15°C groups were 11% and 18% respectively. Yearling coho salmon were similarly tagged, reared at ambient temperature, and monitored for growth over an 8 month period starting March 22nd, 1989. Ten percent of the coho salmon matured precociously. In both experiments there was a similar relationship between fast growth in early spring and precocious maturation. The growth rate of fish that matured declined in autumn relative to non-maturing individuals. Condition factor (length to weight relationship) was greater among those fish that matured precociously. Plasma growth hormone was monitored in the coho salmon. Most samples fell below the detection limits of the assay (1.5. to 3.0 ng/ml). A strategy to reduce the number of precocious males in cultured salmonids is suggested.
Matrimony as creative union : A liturgical theology drawn from The Order of Celebrating Matrimony

description: In 1981 Pope John Paul II exhorted the Church to develop new and better programs of marriage preparation, including the use of the marriage liturgy as an effective educational and spiritual resource, to enable the bride and bridegroom to receive greater benefit from the celebration of this sacrament. Innovative programs of marriage preparation have been developed; however, the Australian statistics since 1981 indicate that many Catholics have turned away both from marriage as institution and marriage as sacrament. Enabling couples to receive greater benefit from the celebration of the sacrament of matrimony implies the need to assist them to recover a sense of the power and relevance of sacraments in general. A fuller comprehension of the principle of sacramentality can provide a meaningful context for enriching understandings of the sacramental system in general and sacramental marriage in particular. Elements of Kevin Irwin’s liturgical-sacramental method are employed to develop a contemporary sacramental theology of matrimony derived from The Order of Celebrating Matrimony (2015). In Irwin’s method of liturgical theology, the Church’s liturgy (lex orandi), influences what the faithful believe (lex credendi), and both of these influence the lived reality of a sacrament (lex vivendi). A contemporary theology derived from the rite, and particularly from its teaching that matrimony derives its force and strength from creation, discloses that matrimony, like the Eucharist, can motivate us to be stewards of all creation. Since dialogue between theology and science has the potential to produce a fruitful synthesis, the theology derived from the rite is assessed in dialogue with key contemporary social scientific research. Findings from social psychology, which seek to identify why marriages succeed or fail, and from the burgeoning field of positive psychology, which seek to identify the qualities that contribute to human flourishing, are presented in dialogue with the theology revealed in The Order of Celebrating Matrimony (2015).
Distinguishing Dark Energy Models with Neutrino Oscillations

description: Dark Energy models are numerous and distinguishing between them is becoming difficult. However, using distinct observational probes can ease this quest and gives better assessment to the nature of Dark energy. To this end, the plausibility of neutrino oscillations to be a probe of Dark Energy models is investigated. First, a generalized formalism of neutrino (spinor field) interaction with a classical scalar field in curved space-time is presented. This formalism is then applied to two classes of Dark Energy models in a flat Friedman-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric: a Cosmological Constant and scalar field Dark Energy coupled to neutrinos. By looking at the neutrino oscillation probability's evolution with redshift, these models can be distinguished, for certain neutrino and scalar field coupling properties. This evolution could be traced by neutrino flux in future underground, terrestrial or extraterrestrial neutrino telescopes, which would assess probing Dark Energy models with this technique.
