description: Hubble Space Telescope observations of Uranus- and Neptune-crossing object (65489) Ceto/Phorcys (provisionally designated 2003 FX128) reveal it to be a close binary system. The mutual orbit has a period of 9.554 +/- 0.011 days and a semimajor axis of 1840 +/- 48 km. These values enable computation of a system mass of (5.41 +/- 0.42) 10^18 kg. Spitzer Space Telescope observations of thermal emission at 24 and 70 microns are combined with visible photometry to constrain the system's effective radius (109 +10/-11 km) and geometric albedo (0.084 +0.021/-0.014). We estimate the average bulk density to be 1.37 +0.66/-0.32 g cm^-3, consistent with ice plus rocky and/or carbonaceous materials. This density contrasts with lower densities recently measured with the same technique for three other comparably-sized outer Solar System binaries (617) Patroclus, (26308) 1998 SM165, and (47171) 1999 TC36, and is closer to the density of the saturnian irregular satellite Phoebe. The mutual orbit of Ceto and Phorcys is nearly circular, with an eccentricity <= 0.015. This observation is consistent with calculations suggesting that the system should tidally evolve on a timescale shorter than the age of the solar system.

description: In the framework of classical scale invariance, we consider quadratic gravity in the Palatini formalism and investigate the inflationary predictions of the theory. Our model corresponds to a two-field scalar-tensor theory, that involves the Higgs field and an extra scalar field stemming from a gauge $U(1)_X$ extension of the Standard Model, which contains an extra gauge boson and three right-handed neutrinos. Both scalar fields couple nonminimally to gravity and induce the Planck scale dynamically, once they develop vacuum expectation values. By means of the Gildener-Weinberg approach, we describe the inflationary dynamics in terms of a single scalar degree of freedom along the flat direction of the tree-level potential. The one-loop effective potential in the Einstein frame exhibits plateaus on both sides of the minimum and thus the model can accommodate both small and large field inflation. The inflationary predictions of the model are found to comply with the latest bounds set by the Planck collaboration for a wide range of parameters and the effect of the quadratic in curvature terms is to reduce the value of the tensor-to-scalar ratio.

description: We study the optimal generation of entanglement between two qubits subject to local unitary control. With the only assumptions of linear control and unitary dynamics, by means of a numerical protocol based on the variational approach (Pontryagin's Minimum Principle), we evaluate the optimal control strategy leading to the maximal achievable entanglement in an arbitrary interaction time, taking into account the energy cost associated to the controls. In our model we can arbitrarily choose the relative weight between a large entanglement and a small energy cost.

description: This paper presents new low-complexity lattice-decoding algorithms for noncoherent block detection of QAM and PAM signals over complex-valued fading channels. The algorithms are optimal in terms of the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT). The computational complexity is polynomial in the block length; making GLRT-optimal noncoherent detection feasible for implementation. We also provide even lower complexity suboptimal algorithms. Simulations show that the suboptimal algorithms have performance indistinguishable from the optimal algorithms. Finally, we consider block based transmission, and propose to use noncoherent detection as an alternative to pilot assisted transmission (PAT). The new technique is shown to outperform PAT.

description: Multiple scalar fields appear in vast modern particle physics and gravity models. When they couple to gravity non-minimally, conformal transformation is utilized to bring the theory into Einstein frame. However, the kinetic terms of scalar fields are usually not canonical, which makes analytic treatment difficult. Here we investigate under what conditions the theories can be transformed to the quasi-canonical form, in which case the effective metric tensor in field space is conformally flat. We solve the relevant nonlinear partial differential equations for arbitrary number of scalar fields and present several solutions that may be useful for future phenomenological model building, including the $σ$-model with a particular non-minimal coupling. We also find conformal flatness can always be achieved in some modified gravity theories, for example, Starobinsky model.

Σκοπός της μελέτης ορίστηκε η εξέταση των 421 τάφων και η λεπτομερής καταγραφή των ανασκαφικών δεδομένων τους, όπως και η αναλυτική παράθεση των κτερισμάτων που περιείχαν αλλά και των ταφικών εθίμων και η προσπάθεια ερμηνείας τους. Εξίσου σημαντική είναι και η τυπολογική και χρονολογική κατάταξη του κινητού υλικού και των ταφικών μνημείων, όπως προέκυψε από τη συγκριτική μελέτη με άλλα γνωστά σύνολα της ίδιας χρονικής περιόδου, παρόμοιας σύνθεσης. Πρόκειται για την παρουσίαση ενός πρωτογενούς ανασκαφικού υλικού που οργανώθηκε και καταγράφηκε ώστε να μπορεί κανείς να έρθει σε επαφή με τα αντικείμενα και να κατανοήσει τις ιδέες και τις αντιλήψεις που είχαν οι κάτοικοι της Πέλλας για το αναπόφευκτο γεγονός του θανάτου. Συγκεκριμένα, αναλύθηκαν 47 ταφές που χρονολογούνται στην υστεροκλασική-ελληνιστική περίοδο και αποτελούν τμήμα του δυτικού νεκροταφείου της Πέλλας και 374 ρωμαϊκές ταφές που χρονολογούνται από τον 1ο αι. μ.Χ. ως το α΄ τέταρτο του 4ου αι. μ.Χ.
description: This thesis deals with the West Cemetery of Pella that was discovered during the construction of the south By-pass of the archaeological site of Pella. The aim of this study is the examination of 421 burials and the detailed description of the excavation data and funerary offerings that were included in the tombs as well as tο shed light to the burial customs of this cemetery. Equally important is the typological and chronological classification of the material and the attempt of comparison with other cemeteries of the same era. It concerns the presentation of a primary excavation material that was organized and recorded so that someone can approach the objects and understand the ideas and beliefs of the inhabitants of ancient Pella towards the inevitable fact of death. 47 tombs of the late classical-hellenistic period, which were part of the West cemetery of Pella, were analyzed, as well as 374 tombs of the roman period that are dated from the 1st century A.D. till the first quarter of the 4th century A.D.

description: We consider the gravastar model where the vacuum phase transition between the de Sitter interior and the Schwarzschild or Schwarzschild-de Sitter exterior geometries takes place at a single spherical delta-shell. We derive sharp analytic bounds on the surface compactness (2m/r) that follow from the requirement that the dominant energy condition (DEC) holds at the shell. In the case of Schwarzschild exterior, the highest surface compactness is achieved with the stiff shell in the limit of vanishing (dark) energy density in the interior. In the case of Schwarzschild-de Sitter exterior, in addition to the gravastar configurations with the shell under surface pressure, gravastar configurations with vanishing shell pressure (dust shells), as well as configurations with the shell under surface tension, are allowed by the DEC. Respective bounds on the surface compactness are derived for all cases. We also consider the speed of sound on the shell as derived from the requirement that the shell is stable against the radial perturbations. The causality requirement (sound speed not exceeding that of light) further restricts the space of allowed gravastar configurations.

description: Gravitational-wave (GW) data can be used to test general relativity in the highly nonlinear and strong field regime. Modified gravity theories such as Einstein-dilation-Gauss-Bonnet and dynamical Chern-Simons can be tested with the additional GW signals detected in the first half of the third observing run of Advanced LIGO/Virgo. Specifically, we analyze gravitational-wave data of GW190412 and GW190814 to place constraints on the parameters of these two theories. Our results indicate that dynamical Chern-Simons gravity remains unconstrained. For Einstein-dilation-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, we find $\sqrt{α_{\rm EdGB}}\lesssim 0.40\,\rm km$ when considering GW190814 data, assuming it is a black hole binary. Such a constraint is improved by a factor of approximately $10$ in comparison to that set by the first Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog events.

description: We study the exotic hadrons in s-wave scattering of the Nambu-Goldstone boson with a target hadron based on chiral dynamics. Utilizing the low energy theorem of chiral symmetry, we show that the s-wave interaction is not strong enough to generate bound states in exotic channels in flavor SU(3) symmetric limit, although the interaction is responsible for generating some nonexotic hadron resonances dynamically. We discuss the renormalization condition adopted in this analysis.

Regular wave conditions in a directional wave basin
Creators: name: Shaver, Mark D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis represents a small step toward improved generation of realistic sea states in laboratory wave basins. Experiments were conducted in an offshore directional wave basin equipped with a segmented wave generator. Regular waves were generated for several periods and propagation directions, and the resulting wave elevations were measured throughout the basin. Motions of the 60 wavemaker segments were based on the snake principle of directional wave generation. Results are summarized and compared with predictions of a boundary element numerical method. Findings encourage further development of this linear diffraction numerical technique. It should be used to correct generator segment motions as prescribed by the snake principle, so as to account for diffraction and reflection effects which affect the wave field. The experiments were conducted at the Hydraulics Laboratory of the National Research Council of Canada, in Ottawa. A six metre square array of wave probes was used to measure wave elevations at discrete points spaced on a 2m grid around the wave basin. Three wave periods were investigated, with waves directed normal to the generator face, as well as in three oblique propagation directions. For all but the most severe propagation direction, tests were run a second time with a large surface piercing cylindrical structure positioned in the test area. Maximum waveheight results were plotted, and compared with numerical model predictions at the same locations around the basin. A linear diffraction computer program based on the boundary element method was used to predict the wave field at the same points around the basin. By this method, generator segment faces and reflecting walls are represented by a distribution of discrete sources around the basin boundaries. Measured elevation time series were analysed using a multiple regression screening program which extracts a prescribed number of sinusoidal components from the signal of interest. The program was modified to accommodate harmonic analysis. Fundamental and second harmonic components were synthesized from each time series. The second harmonic component was generally an order of magnitude smaller than the fundamental component. Discrepancies between these results and the linear numerical model predictions are attributed to nonlinear effects, and to basin resonance. The linear diffraction computer model is seen to predict the wave field to a high degree of accuracy, even though imprecise boundary definition was necessary at the current level of program development.

description: Multilayer position-sensitive 10B-RPC thermal neutron detectors offer an attractive combination of sub-millimeter spatial resolution and high (>50%) detection efficiency. Here we describe a new position reconstruction method based on a statistical approach. Using experimental data, we compare the performance of this method with that of the centroid reconstruction. Both methods result in a similar image linearity/uniformity and spatial resolution. However, the statistical method allows to improve the image quality at the detector periphery, offers more flexible event filtering and allows to develop automatic quality monitoring procedures for early detection of situations when a change in the detector operation conditions starts to affect reconstruction quality.

description: We compute the flux-induced F-term potential in 4d F-theory compactifications at large complex structure. In this regime, each complex structure field splits as an axionic field plus its saxionic partner, and the classical F-term potential takes the form $V = Z^{AB} ρ_Aρ_B$ up to exponentially-suppressed terms, with $ρ$ depending on the fluxes and axions and $Z$ on the saxions. We provide explicit, general expressions for $Z$ and $ρ$, and from there analyse the set of flux vacua, for an arbitrary number of fields. We identify two families of vacua with all complex structure fields fixed and a flux contribution to the tadpole $N_{\rm flux}$ which is bounded. In the first and most generic one, the saxion vevs are bounded from above by a power of $N_{\rm flux}$. In the second their vevs may be unbounded and $N_{\rm flux}$ is a product of two arbitrary integers, unlike what is claimed by the Tadpole Conjecture. We specialise to type IIB orientifolds, where both families of vacua are present, and link our analysis with several results in the literature. We finally illustrate our findings with several examples.

description: Superconducting and normal-state properties of the beta-pyrochlore oxide KOs2O6 are studied by means of thermodynamic and transport measurements. It is shown that the superconductivity is of conventional s-wave type and lies in the extremely strong-coupling regime. Specific heat and resistivity measurements reveal that there are characteristic low-energy phonons that give rise to unusual scattering of carriers due to strong electron-phonon interactions. The entity of the low-energy phonons is ascribed to the heavy rattling of the K ion confined in an oversized cage made of OsO6 octahedra. It is suggested that this electron-rattler coupling mediates the Cooper pairing, resulting in the extremely strong-coupling superconductivity.

description: What constitutes a Romani (human)? The name of one hero in Feri Lainšček’s novel “Namesto koga roža cveti” (1991; Instead of whom does the flower bloom) is Halgato, the Hungarian word for a melancholic instrumental piece. By evoking the music of the Gypsies, Lainšček’s novel approaches the melancholy and violence in the life of the Romanies; it registers stereotyped perceptions by others as well as the pride of the social outsiders, it traces the social advancement through education and the process of estrangement from family and origin. Considering the social history and the aggravating situation of the Romanies in Slovenia, the paper discusses the tension between the ethnic minority’s integration into society and their social exclusion, as it can be deduced from the realm of artistic representations.

description: This PhD thesis examines the combined use of wind and pumped-hydro storage units, forming a single Hybrid Power Station (HPS). Energy storage can be considered renewable enabling technology and help manage RES uncertainty. The study focuses on HPS operating according to the Greek Network Code for the Non-Interconnected Islands (NCNII). An innovative optimization model is presented in order to determine the optimal energy offer and energy bid submitted by the HPS producer to the System Operator (SO), during the day-ahead scheduling of the autonomous system. Next, two additional optimization models are formulated, which are used by the SO: 1) to determine any need for guaranteed power supply request by the HPS during periods of conventional production deficit, and 2) to perform the day-ahead power system scheduling, respectively. The three aforementioned optimization models were combined into an innovative, integrated, three-level optimization framework, simulating in detail the day-ahead scheduling procedure followed by the Greek NCNII in autonomous insular power systems containing thermal generating units, RES plants and HPSs. Finally, the optimization framework was applied in the insular power system of Crete, Greece, where its technicalities were thoroughly discussed.

Eugenics as a Science and as a Social Movement: The Cases of Denmark and Norway 1900–1950
Creators: name: Redvaldsen, David
Publisher: name: Moving the Social
Year: 2015

description: The article compares Danish and Norwegian eugenics in the first half of the twentieth century. It especially investigates sterilisation and racism, both of which are associated with the doctrine. However, it argues that the laws of 1929, 1934 and 1935 allowing sterilisation in Denmark were accepted as means to combat sexual offences. The comparative method supports such a contention, as the Norwegian sterilisation law of 1934 is found to have developed along parallel lines. Neither country had a functioning eugenics society. Therefore the doctrine was the provenance of scientists and other experts. Popularisation attempts met resistance from specialists. Eugenics could nevertheless be applied to debates about criminality or race. Similarities between the Danish and Norwegian versions outweighed differences. But in Denmark there was a greater focus on the pernicious societal effects of “feeblemindedness” than in Norway. Conversely, Norwegian eugenics was more racist than Danish.

description: The transverse mass spectra and the rapidity distributions of $π^+$ and $π^-$ in Au-Au collisions at 2, 4, 6, and 8 GeV$\cdot$A by E895 collaboration are fitted using an elliptically expanding fireball model with the contribution from the resonance decays and the final state Coulomb interaction. The ratio of the total number of produced $π^-$ and $π^+$ is used to fit the data. The resulting freeze-out temperature is rather low($T_f < 60$ MeV) with large transverse flow and thus resonance contribution is very small. The difference in the shape of $m_t$ spectra of the oppositely charged pions are found to be due to the Coulomb interaction of the pions.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The objective of this thesis is to assemble the knowledge base which reflects the expertise of the building contractor as it relates to activity scoping and sequencing work for highrise residential construction projects. To facilitate the acquisition of practical construction scheduling knowledge, computerized project management capabilities were implemented into a medium size general building contractor, J.C. Scott Construction Ltd. of Vancouver. This company was used to represent the industry standards from which the knowledge is extracted. The process by which the computerized system was implemented and used in the field to acquire the knowledge is documented so that an understanding is gained regarding the nature of the acquired data. The knowledge acquired from the study is represented in the form of rule-based data and stored in databases structured for use in a knowledge-based expert system.

Doing their own Thing: Squatting Movements in Copenhagen and Stockholm during the 1970s
Creators: name: Vall, Natasha
Publisher: name: Moving the Social
Year: 2015

description: This article offers a comparative assessment of squatting and urban occupation in two Nordic cities, focussing upon the much profiled example of Christiania in Copenhagen and the lesser moment of squatter agitation in southern Stockholm during the 1970s. Firstly it examines the two cases against a backdrop of crises in the Nordic welfare state, and especially its housing model. Secondly the article places the experience of Christiania and Stockholm within the context of both the 1960s counterculture, as well as the community activism of the 1970s. Finally the comparison of Christiania Free Town in Copenhagen and the quarter Mullvaden in Stockholm emphasises the importance of creative practices to squatting and community activism during the 1970s. This theme has often formed the background of traditional studies of the political struggles mobilised by squats. However, the following discussion reveals that creative activists often played a significant role in forging international networks that carried the ambitions of alternative living beyond their local contexts.

description: The prediction of stock and foreign exchange (Forex) had always been a hot and profitable area of study. Deep learning application had proven to yields better accuracy and return in the field of financial prediction and forecasting. In this survey we selected papers from the DBLP database for comparison and analysis. We classified papers according to different deep learning methods, which included: Convolutional neural network (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Deep neural network (DNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Reinforcement Learning, and other deep learning methods such as HAN, NLP, and Wavenet. Furthermore, this paper reviewed the dataset, variable, model, and results of each article. The survey presented the results through the most used performance metrics: RMSE, MAPE, MAE, MSE, accuracy, Sharpe ratio, and return rate. We identified that recent models that combined LSTM with other methods, for example, DNN, are widely researched. Reinforcement learning and other deep learning method yielded great returns and performances. We conclude that in recent years the trend of using deep-learning based method for financial modeling is exponentially rising.

description: Many proto-planetary nebulae (PPN) appear as narrow collimated structures sometimes showing multiple, roughly aligned lobes. In addition, many PPN flows have been shown to have short acceleration times. In this paper we explore whether jet or ``bullet'' (a massive clump) models fit the observations of individual collimated lobes adequately by comparing simulations of both radiatively cooled (stable) jets and bullets. We find that the clump model is somewhat favored over jets because (1) it leads to greater collimation of outflows (2) it accounts better and more naturally for ring-like structures observed in the PPN CRL 618, and (3) it is more successful in reproducing the Hubble-flow character of observed kinematics in some PPN. In addition, bullets naturally account for observed multipolar flows, since the likely MHD launch mechanisms required to drive outflows make multiple non-aligned jets unlikely. Thus we argue that PPN outflows may be driven by explosive MHD launch mechanisms such as those discussed in the context of supernovae (SNe) and gamma-ray bursts(GRB).

A study of the $p d \to p d η$ reaction

description: A study of the $p d \to p d η$ reaction in the energy range where the recent data from Uppsala are available, is done in the two-step model of $η$ production including the final state interaction. The $η-d$ final state interaction is incorporated through the solution of the Lippmann Schwinger equation using an elastic scattering matrix element, $T_{ηd \to ηd}$, which is required to be half off-shell. It is written in a factorized form, with an off-shell form factor multiplying an on-shell part given by an effective range expansion up to the fourth power in momentum. The parameters of this expansion have been taken from an existing recent relativistic Faddeev equation solution for the $ηNN$ system corresponding to different $η-N$ scattering amplitudes. Calculations have also been done using few body equations within a finite rank approximation (FRA) to generate $T_{ηd \to ηd}$. The $p-d$ final state interaction is included in the spirit of the Watson-Migdal prescription by multiplying the matrix element by the inverse of the Jost function. The $η-d$ interaction is found to be dominant in the region of small invariant $η-d$ mass, $M_{ηd}$. The $p-d$ interaction enhances the cross section in the whole region of $M_{ηd}$, but is larger for large $M_{ηd}$. We find nearly isotropic angular distributions of the proton and the deuteron in the final state. All the above observations are in agreement with data. The production mechanism for the entire range of the existing data on the $p d \to p d η$ reaction seems to be dominated by the two-step model of $η$ production.

Simple-graduated dark energy and spatial curvature

description: In this work, we first discuss the possibility that dark energy models with negative energy density values in the past can alleviate the $H_0$ tension, as well as the discrepancy with the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) Lyman-$α$ data, both which prevail within the $Λ$CDM model. We then investigate whether two minimal extensions of the $Λ$CDM model, together or separately, can successfully realize such a scenario: (i) the spatial curvature, which, in the case of spatially closed universe, mimics a negative density source and (ii) simple-graduated dark energy (gDE), which promotes the null inertial mass density of the usual vacuum energy to an arbitrary constant--if negative, the corresponding energy density decreases with redshift similar to the phantom models, but unlike them crosses below zero at a certain redshift. We find that, when the Planck data are not included in the observational analysis, the models with simple-gDE predict interesting and some significant deviations from the $Λ$CDM model. In particular, a spatially closed universe along with a simple-gDE of positive inertial mass density, which work in contrast to each other, results in minor improvement to the $H_0$ tension. The joint dataset, including the Planck data, presents no evidence for a deviation from spatial flatness but almost the same evidence for a cosmological constant and the simple-gDE with an inertial mass density of order $\mathcal{O}(10^{-12})\,\rm eV^4$. The latter case predicts almost no deviation from the $Λ$CDM model up until today--so that it results in no improvement regarding the BAO Ly-$α$ data--except that it slightly aggravates the $H_0$ tension. We also study via dynamical analysis the history of the Universe in the models, as the simple-gDE results in futures different than the de Sitter future of the $Λ$CDM model.

description: Investigating whether two different classifications of a population are associated, is an interesting problem in many scientific fields. For this reason, various statistical tests to reveal this type of associations have been developed, with the most popular of them being Fisher's exact test. However it has lately been shown that in some cases this test fails to produce accurate results. An alternative approach, known as randomization tests, was introduced to alleviate this issue, however, such tests are computationally intensive. In this paper, we introduce two novel indexing approaches that exploit frequently occurring patterns in classifications to avoid performing redundant computations during the analysis. We conduct a comprehensive set of experiments using real datasets and application scenarios to show that our approaches always outperform the state-of-the-art, with one approach being faster by an order of magnitude.

description: La mise en oeuvre du Concept 360° par les établissements scolaires vaudois ainsi que la récente fusion entre la Direction générale de l’enseignement obligatoire (DGEO) et le Service de l’enseignement spécialisé (SEAF) sont les indicateurs principaux du changement opéré par l’école vaudoise. En effet, cette dernière aspire à une visée plus inclusive afin d’égaliser les chances des élèves et de pouvoir répondre aux besoins spécifiques de chacun. Dès lors, à travers cette vision, les enseignants doivent modifier leurs pratiques afin de s’adapter à la diversité des élèves. Ce travail de mémoire, basé sur une recherche-action, a pour objectif de créer et d’évaluer un outil destinés aux enseignant·e·s primaires généralistes qui accueillent des élèves présentant un trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA), dans le cadre des leçons d’éducation physique et sportive (EPS) Six enseignant·e·s ont ainsi testé, pendant deux mois, les fiches didactiques en EPS adaptées pour les élèves TSA (coffret 4-6 ans, 6-8 ans, 8-10 ans). Ces coffrets, reposant sur des manuels préexistants, proposent des pistes flexibles ainsi que des astuces qui répondent aux besoins spécifiques des élèves TSA. Ils comprennent une partie théorique commune à tous, qui présente brièvement les troubles du spectre de l’autisme et qui met en évidence les défis que ces élèves peuvent rencontrer dans le cadre du champ disciplinaire de l’EPS. Suite à cette théorie, en lien avec de multiples activités, des aménagements et des adaptations pour les élèves TSA sont proposés. L’évaluation de cet outil a été récoltée par l’intermédiaire d’un questionnaire mettant en relief ses effets, la qualité de son contenu ainsi que ses manques. Les résultats ont montré que l’outil a reçu un accueil positif et semble répondre à un réel besoin. Son évaluation a également souligné que les pistes suggérées ont régulièrement été utilisées et étaient pertinentes pour la majorité des élèves. Toutefois, cet outil a mis en exergue les limites de son utilisation selon les besoins de l’élève ainsi que la réalité du terrain. Finalement l’avenir et la transmission de l’outil sont discutés.
