FindFS : adding tag-based views to a hierarchical filesystem
Creators: name: Chou, Jason
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Organising files by grouping them using tags is an alternative approach to filesystem design that has benefits over the traditional hierarchical model. However, the majority of filesystems in use remain hierarchical. In this paper we describe FindFS, an extension middleware which provides dynamic, tag-based views of an existing hierarchical filesystem. FindFS adopts the functionality of the find utility and adds support for extended attribute queries, which can be used for tagging files and filtering the filesystem. Search results are represented as directories containing symbolic links which are kept up-to-date in response to filesystem operations, allowing them to persist as views that are accessible from existing unmodified applications. Control of the system is accomplished via filesystem operations, enhancing its ease of integration and portability. We have developed a prototype of this system, and characterised the performance overhead that it adds to file operations.
Exploiting Transaction Accumulation and Double Spends for Topology Inference in Bitcoin

description: Bitcoin relies on a peer-to-peer network for communication between participants. Knowledge of the network topology is of scientific interest but can also facilitate attacks on the users’ anonymity and the system’s availability. We present two approaches for inferring the network topology and evaluate them in simulations and in real-world experiments in the Bitcoin testnet. The first approach exploits the accumulation of multiple transactions before their announcement to other peers. Despite the general feasibility of the approach, simulation and experimental results indicate a low inference quality. The second approach exploits the fact that double spending transactions are dropped by clients. Experimental results show that inferring the neighbors of a specific peer is possible with a precision of 71 % and a recall of 87 % at low cost.

Improvisatory city performance and relational art : Vancouver, Crawling, Weeping, Betting
Creators: name: Moore, Lindsay Patricia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This analysis of the performance and installation project Vancouver, Crawling, Weeping, Betting (2014) is a case study of improvisation and creativity in environmentally engaged relational art. I argue for the politically transformative possibility inherent in the unfolding of material-semiotic and affective relations of improvised performance events. VCWB uses stories and bodies to engage historical colonial power and the structures that give form to our experiences of urban cultural geographies. Focusing on the centrality of the body to creativity (and drawing on Manning 2009), I connect participatory performance in the city to the Deleuzian notion of a body-becoming; a sensing, moving, and thinking body that is always in a process of re-identification and re-articulation in reciprocal relation with the environment. Central to VCWB’s form of improvisatory relational art are concepts of generosity and co-responsibility, which are used to create caring reciprocal relations between performer-participants and the environment. I argue VCWB prompts and sustains a relation of antagonism (following Bishop 2004) in its experimental performances. A multiplicity of historical affective associations and encounters with landscape, presented in narrative and other works, challenge participants to confront difference, dislocation, and uncertainty, producing movement and ‘dialogue.’ I use the term spaces of possibility to describe relations in which frictions become creative taking-off points for movement and thought. VCWB street performances highlight the antagonism and possibility that is inevitable to unpredictable encounter in a lively world. VCWB’s particular form of art making is processual, generative, and its affects proliferative. In using the example of VCWB’s non-representational mapmaking I expand the scope of improvised performance in the city to consider how gatherings in moments recompose places in novel material-semiotic and affective relations.

The experience of settlement work with LGBTQ newcomers
Creators: name: Suehn, Megan Rachel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this research was to contribute to the literature on migration and settlement work for LGBTQ newcomers and the service providers who support them in Canada. The study employed a descriptive phenomenological research approach to answer the following question: “What are service provider’s perceptions and descriptions of their work in supporting LGBTQ immigrant clients?” Interviews were conducted with twelve service providers working in settlement, social work, and counselling psychology, with experience working with LGBTQ newcomers ranging from fourteen months to twenty five years. Participants represented nine languages and five ethnicities, and worked within the Metro Vancouver region of British Columbia, Canada. Utilising Giorgi’s (2009) descriptive psychological phenomenological method, data analysis uncovered three overarching structures that captured participants’ experiences of settlement work with LGBTQ newcomers. These structures included a) service providers’ perceptions of LGBTQ newcomers’ needs and experience, b) organizational issues, and c) personal impact. This study contributes to a greater understanding of the ways in which settlement work is done with LGBTQ newcomers, and sheds light on factors that are both challenging and beneficial to their service provision work. Recommendations for further research are made, as well as specific recommendations for training and counselling psychologists working with LGBTQ newcomers.

Data Conflict Resolution Using Trust Mappings

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Databases (cs.DB)

description: In massively collaborative projects such as scientific or community databases, users often need to agree or disagree on the content of individual data items. On the other hand, trust relationships often exist between users, allowing them to accept or reject other users' beliefs by default. As those trust relationships become complex, however, it becomes difficult to define and compute a consistent snapshot of the conflicting information. Previous solutions to a related problem, the update reconciliation problem, are dependent on the order in which the updates are processed and, therefore, do not guarantee a globally consistent snapshot. This paper proposes the first principled solution to the automatic conflict resolution problem in a community database. Our semantics is based on the certain tuples of all stable models of a logic program. While evaluating stable models in general is well known to be hard, even for very simple logic programs, we show that the conflict resolution problem admits a PTIME solution. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first PTIME algorithm that allows conflict resolution in a principled way. We further discuss extensions to negative beliefs and prove that some of these extensions are hard. This work is done in the context of the BeliefDB project at the University of Washington, which focuses on the efficient management of conflicts in community databases.

Phonon Spectra, Nearest Neighbors, and Mechanical Stability of Disordered Colloidal Clusters with Attractive Interactions

description: We investigate the influence of morphology and size on the vibrational properties of disordered clusters of colloidal particles with attractive interactions. From measurements of displacement correlations between particles in each cluster, we extract vibrational properties of the corresponding "shadow" glassy cluster, with the same geometric configuration and interactions as the "source" cluster but without damping. Spectral features of the vibrational modes are found to depend strongly on the average number of nearest neighbors, $\bar{NN}$, but only weakly on the number of particles in each glassy cluster. In particular, the median phonon frequency, $ω_{med}$, is essentially constant for $\bar{NN}$ $<2$ and then grows linearly with $\bar{NN}$ for $\bar{NN}$ $>2$. This behavior parallels concurrent observations about local isostatic structures, which are absent in clusters with $\bar{NN}$ $<2$ and then grow linearly in number for $\bar{NN}$$>2$. Thus, cluster vibrational properties appear to be strongly connected to cluster mechanical stability (i.e., fraction of locally isostatic regions), and the scaling of $ω_{med}$ with $\bar{NN}$ is reminiscent of the behavior of packings of spheres with repulsive interactions at the jamming transition. Simulations of random networks of springs corroborate observations and suggest that connections between phonon spectra and nearest neighbor number are generic to disordered networks.

Broadband Acoustic Cloak for Ultrasound Waves

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: Invisibility devices based on coordinate transformation have opened up a new field of considerable interest. Such a device is proposed to render the hidden object undetectable under the flow of light or sound, by guiding and controlling the wave path through an engineered space surrounding the object. We present here the first practical realization of a low-loss and broadband acoustic cloak for underwater ultrasound. This metamaterial cloak is constructed with a network of acoustic circuit elements, namely serial inductors and shunt capacitors. Our experiment clearly shows that the acoustic cloak can effectively bend the ultrasound waves around the hidden object, with reduced scattering and shadow. Due to the non-resonant nature of the building elements, this low loss (~6dB/m) cylindrical cloak exhibits excellent invisibility over a broad frequency range from 52 to 64 kHz in the measurements. The low visibility of the cloaked object for underwater ultrasound shed a light on the fundamental understanding of manipulation, storage and control of acoustic waves. Furthermore, our experimental study indicates that this design approach should be scalable to different acoustic frequencies and offers the possibility for a variety of devices based on coordinate transformation.

An environmental scan of public domain reporting on injury and trauma in British Columbia
Creators: name: Alhoshan, Raiyan Khaleel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Introduction: High quality trauma care and effective injury prevention and control in regionally discrete populations are prime objectives of mature trauma systems. In British Columbia, where 4.6 million people inhabit a vast area of one million square kilometers, numerous independent agencies and organizations with varying performance objectives guided by large independent data collection strategies support this collective effort. Whole system measures are an emerging evaluative tool useful to decision makers responsible for allocating resources to better align and integrate healthcare delivery services that result in meaningful system-level performance improvement. The usefulness of current performance reporting to drive improvement in the design and function of British Columbia’s systems of trauma care and injury management is unclear. Objectives: The research objectives were to (1) describe in qualitative and semi-quantitative terms the depth and breadth of public domain reporting on injury management in the province of British Columbia; (2) identify, if possible, measures that describe performance of the system as a whole; and (3) identify performance reporting gaps that, if addressed, may facilitate improvement in system design and function. Methods: (1) Identify all B.C agencies involved in the care, control and prevention of injury; (2) Identify performance objectives for the provincial trauma system through assessment of the strategic plans of leading trauma organizations; (3) Construct an inventory of public domain reporting by identified agencies; (4) Describe retrieved reports using qualitative and semi-quantitative methods; (5) Compare performance reporting output against overarching strategic performance objectives to identify gaps in whole system reporting. Results: We identified 276 injury-related performance measures from 19 data sets in 174 reports produced by 37 B.C. organizations from 1998-2013. All 13 domain trauma system were represented. Unadjusted mortality and stratified incidence rates from surveillance reporting predominated. EMS, acute hospital care and recovery care reporting was thin. While several metrics could be adopted as whole system measures, important gaps were identified. Conclusion: Public reporting of trauma care and injury management in B.C. does not reflect an integrated system unified by well aligned outcome objectives. A whole system measures approach to performance evaluation of the provincial trauma system could help to accomplish this.
Storage system tracing and analysis
Creators: name: Meyer, Dutch T.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: File system studies are critical to the accurate configuration, design, and continued evolution of storage systems. However, surprisingly little has been published about the use and behaviour of file systems under live deployment. Most published file system studies are years old, or are extremely limited in size and scope. One reason for this deficiency is that studying clusters of storage systems operating at scale requires large data repositories that are difficult to collect, manage, and query. In effect, the demands introduced by performing detailed file system traces creates new and interesting storage challenges in and of itself. This thesis describes a methodology to facilitate the collection, analysis, and publication of large traces of file system activity and structure so that organizations can perform regular analysis of their storage systems and retain that analysis to answer questions about their system's behaviour. To validate this methodology I investigate the use and performance of several large storage deployments. I consider the impact of the observed system usage and behaviour on file system design, and I describe the processes by which the collected traces can be efficiently processed and manipulated. I report on several examples of long standing incorrect assumptions, efficient engineering alternatives, and new opportunities in storage system design.
Augmentation of coarse meshes with wrinkles
Creators: name: Gillette, Russell
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Folds and wrinkles are an important visual cue in the recognition of realistically dressed characters in virtual environments. Wrinkles must, however, move dynamically within the context of an animation to retain much of this realism. Adding wrinkles to real-time cloth visualization proves challenging, as the animations used in games, pre-render visualization, and other such applications, often have no reference shape, an extremely low triangle count, and poor temporal and spatial coherence. I contribute approaches towards the persistence of wrinkles over time, and the creation and rendering of wrinkle geometry in a real-time context, towards a novel real-time method for adding believable, dynamic wrinkles to coarse cloth animations. With this method we trace spatially and temporally coherent wrinkle paths and overcomes the inaccuracies and noise in low-end cloth animation. We employ a two stage stretch tensor estimation process, first detecting regions of consistent surface behaviour, and then using these regions to construct a per-triangle, temporally adaptive reference shape and a stretch tensor based on it. We use this tensor to dynamically generate new wrinkle geometry on coarse cloth meshes through use of the GPU tessellation unit. Our algorithm produces plausible fine wrinkles on real-world data sets at real-time frame rates, and is suitable for the current generation of consoles and PC graphics cards.
Differential rotation and meridional flow of Arcturus

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The spectroscopic variability of Arcturus hints at cyclic activity cycle and differential rotation. This could provide a test of current theoretical models of solar and stellar dynamos. To examine the applicability of current models of the flux transport dynamo to Arcturus, we compute a mean-field model for its internal rotation, meridional flow, and convective heat transport in the convective envelope. We then compare the conditions for dynamo action with those on the Sun. We find solar-type surface rotation with about 1/10th of the shear found on the solar surface. The rotation rate increases monotonically with depth at all latitudes throughout the whole convection zone. In the lower part of the convection zone the horizontal shear vanishes and there is a strong radial gradient. The surface meridional flow has maximum speed of 110 m/s and is directed towards the equator at high and towards the poles at low latitudes. Turbulent magnetic diffusivity is of the order $10^{15}$--$10^{16} {\rm cm^2/s}$. The conditions on Arcturus are not favorable for a circulation-dominated dynamo.

description: Classical bremsstrahlung of a massless scalar field $Φ$ is studied in gravity mediated ultra-relativistic collisions with impact parameter $b$ of two massive point particles in the presence of $d$ non-compact or toroidal extra dimensions. The spectral and angular distribution of the scalar radiation are analyzed, while the total emitted $Φ-$energy is found to be strongly enhanced by a $d-$dependent power of the Lorentz factor $γ$. The direct radiation amplitude from the accelerated particles is shown to interfere destructively (in the first two leading ultra-relativistic orders) with the one due to the $Φ-Φ-graviton$ interaction in the frequency regime $γ/b\lesssim ω\lesssim γ^2/b$ in all dimensions.

Highly efficient thermo-optic switches on silicon-on-insulator
Creators: name: Murray, Kyle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: We analyze and demonstrate the performance of dense dissimilar waveguide routing as a method for increasing the efficiency of thermo-optic phase shifters on a silicon-on-insulator platform. Optical, mechanical, and thermal models of the phase shifters are developed and used to propose metrics for evaluating device performance. The lack of cross-coupling between dissimilar waveguides allows highly dense waveguide routing under heating elements and a corresponding increase in efficiency. We demonstrate a device with highly dense routing of 9 waveguides under a 10 μm wide heater and, by thermally isolating the phase shifter by removal of the silicon substrate, achieve a low switching power of 95 μW, extinction ratio greater than 20 dB, and less than 0.1 dB ripple in the through spectrum. The device has a footprint of less than 800 μm x 180 μm. The increase in waveguide density achieved by using dissimilar waveguide routing is found not to negatively impact the switch response time.

description: Motivated by MIMO broad-band fading channel model, in this section a comparative study is presented regarding various uncoded adaptive and non-adaptive MIMO detection algorithms with respect to BER/PER performance, and hardware complexity. All the simulations are conducted within MIMO-OFDM framework and with a packet structure similar to that of IEEE 802.11a/g standard. As the comparison results show, the RLS algorithm appears to be an affordable solution for wideband MIMO system targeting at Giga-bit wireless transmission. So MIMO can overcome huge processing power required for MIMO detection by using optimizing channel coding and MIMO detection.

We demonstrate that for a certain range of model parameters, the low temperature critical point predicted by a Ginzburg-Landau analysis appears in the phase diagram. In addition, we show that the axial anomaly presents a new scenario for a possible BEC-BCS crossover in the color-flavor locked phase of QCD.

Analysis of human early fetal facial growth and jaw relationships
Creators: name: McFadden, Megan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Objectives: Abnormal jaw relationships can be a warning sign of the presence of congenital anomalies. During the late fetal period the jaw relationship is hypothesized to be stable allowing for detection of abnormal jaw position. This study aims to analyze growth of the jaws in 2D and 3D during the early fetal period in normal human conceptuses. Methods: Lateral and frontal radiographs were available from a collection of 197 fetal specimens aged 10-20 weeks gestation, of these 26 specimens were scanned with micro-CT. Exclusion criteria was applied and a total of 14 linear and 5 angular measurements were made on digitized radiographs and micro-CT volume renderings. Linear regression models were used to analyze the relationship between the data collected and age in days of the specimens. Results: Images comprising this study included 141 frontal radiographs, 120 lateral radiographs and 25 micro-CT scans. All linear measurements of the maxilla and mandible show a significantly positive association with increasing age in days. Age in days is a statistically significant (P<0.001) predictor of the size of the maxilla and mandible in all three planes of space. Both the maxilla and mandible increase more in width than length or height. Between 10-20 weeks, age in days is a significant (P<0.001) predictor of the jaw relationship. The radiographic data was divided into two groups, the jaw relationships during the 10-15 week period is significantly correlated with age (P<0.001). There is no correlation between jaw relationship and age during the 16-20 week period. From 10 to 15 weeks gestation the percent increase in size of all linear measurements is greater than during the 16-20 week period. Gender related growth rate differences are not observed. Conclusions: During the early fetal period the maxilla and mandible grow more in width than height or length. Age in days is a strong predictor of maxillary and mandibular size in all three planes of space. Both the maxillary projection and the maxillary position relative to the mandibular position increase with increasing age especially in the 10 to 15 week timespan. The mandibular projection does not change with increasing age.

description: The metallic tip of a scanning force microscope operated at 300 mK is used to locally induce a potential in a fully controllable double quantum dot defined via local anodic oxidation in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. Using scanning gate techniques we record spatial images of the current through the sample for different numbers of electrons on the quantum dots (i.e., for different quantum states). Owing to the spatial resolution of current maps, we are able to determine the spatial position of the individual quantum dots, and investigate their apparent relative shifts due to the voltage applied to a single gate.
Investigating the in vitro corrosion behaviour of four as-cast magnesium-zinc alloys for orthopaedic applications in Simulated Body Fluid

description: The use of metallic biomaterials, such as titanium alloys, stainless steels and cobalt-chromium alloys in bone implant devices is indispensable to support the bone during the healing period. However, prolonged use of implantation devices made of these inert biomaterials may lead to stress shielding due to their high elastic moduli resulting in the loss of bone density during the remodeling process. Therefore, magnesium is being investigated as a possible biomaterial for temporary fixation devices as it has low elastic modulus close to that of the human cortical bone in addition to being biocompatible and biodegradable in the aqueous chloride environment of the human body. However, the high corrosion rates of magnesium due to its low standard electrode potential compromise the mechanical integrity of the implant during the bone healing process. This thesis involved the fabrication of four magnesium-zinc alloys with 1, 1.5, 2 and 5 weight percent Zn in Mg in an attempt to tailor the corrosion rate of the alloy. The hardness and densities of the alloys were determined. The microstructure of the alloys was characterized by chemical analysis both before and after corrosion experiments. Both gravimetric and electrochemical studies were used to understand the in vitro corrosion behaviour of the alloys in static Simulated Body Fluid (SBF). The weight loss measurements after immersion tests indicated that the as-cast Mg-2.0Zn alloy had the lowest corrosion rate owing to network-like second phase precipitations. The potentiodynamic polarization experiments yielded extremely low corrosion rates for all the alloys, and were correlated to the microstructures of the corroded surfaces. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) was conducted to study and model the interface between the sample and the SBF. The electrochemical test results indicated that the Mg-1.0Zn exhibited the highest polarization resistance leading to the decreased corrosion rate of the alloy. The corrosion products consisted of magnesium carbonates, magnesium hydroxides and calcium phosphates as indicated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (X-EDS). Results were suggestive that, Mg-Zn alloys with ≤2 wt. % Zn were promising as a suitable metallic biomaterial for orthopaedic applications and should be considered for further in vitro and in vivo studies.

description: We present results for a complete set of polarization observables for jet production in lepton proton collision, where the final state lepton is not observed. The calculations are carried out in collinear factorization at the level of Born diagrams. For all the observables we also provide numerical estimates for typical kinematics of a potential future Electron Ion Collider. On the basis of this numerical study, the prospects for the transverse single target spin asymmetry are particularly promising. This observable is given by a certain quark-gluon correlation function, which has a direct relation to the transverse momentum dependent Sivers parton distribution.

description: We study the capacity of secret-key agreement over a wiretap channel with state parameters. The transmitter communicates to the legitimate receiver and the eavesdropper over a discrete memoryless wiretap channel with a memoryless state sequence. The transmitter and the legitimate receiver generate a shared secret key, that remains secret from the eavesdropper. No public discussion channel is available. The state sequence is known noncausally to the transmitter. We derive lower and upper bounds on the secret-key capacity. The lower bound involves constructing a common state reconstruction sequence at the legitimate terminals and binning the set of reconstruction sequences to obtain the secret-key. For the special case of Gaussian channels with additive interference (secret-keys from dirty paper channel) our bounds differ by 0.5 bit/symbol and coincide in the high signal-to-noise-ratio and high interference-to-noise-ratio regimes. For the case when the legitimate receiver is also revealed the state sequence, we establish that our lower bound achieves the the secret-key capacity. In addition, for this special case, we also propose another scheme that attains the capacity and requires only causal side information at the transmitter and the receiver.

description: We report investigations of the optical properties of the narrow gap semiconductor FeSb2 in comparison with the structural homolog RuSb2. In the infrared region the latter shows insulating behavior in whole investigated temperature range (10 - 300 K) whereas the optical reflectivity of FeSb2 shows typical semiconductor behavior upon decreasing the temperature. The conduction electron contribution to the reflectivity is suppressed and the opening of a direct and an indirect charge excitation gap in the far-infrared energy region is observed. Those gap openings are characterized by a redistribution of spectral weight of the optical conductivity in an energy region much larger than the gap energies indicating that strong electron-electron correlations are involved in the formation of the charge gap. Calculations of the optical conductivity from the band structure also provided evidence for the presence of strong electronic correlations. Analyzing the spectra with a fundamental absorption across the gap of parabolic bands yields a direct gap at 130 meV and two indirect gaps at 6 and 31 meV. The strong reduction in the free-carrier concentration at low energies and low temperatures is also reflected in a change in the asymmetry of the phonon absorption which indicates a change in the phonon-conduction-electron interaction.
