description: The dynamics of partons, hadrons and strings in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions is analyzed within the novel Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach, which is based on a dynamical quasiparticle model for partons (DQPM) matched to reproduce recent lattice-QCD results - including the partonic equation of state - in thermodynamic equilibrium. Scalar- and vector-interaction densities are extracted from the DQPM as well as effective scalar- and vector-mean fields for the partons. The transition from partonic to hadronic degrees of freedom is described by covariant transition rates for the fusion of quark-antiquark pairs or three quarks (antiquarks), respectively, obeying flavor current-conservation, color neutrality as well as energy-momentum conservation. Since the dynamical quarks and antiquarks become very massive close to the phase transition, the formed resonant 'pre-hadronic' color-dipole states ($q\bar{q}$ or $qqq$) are of high invariant mass, too, and sequentially decay to the groundstate meson and baryon octets increasing the total entropy. When applying the PHSD approach to Pb+Pb colllisions at 158 A$\cdot$GeV we find a significant effect of the partonic phase on the production of multi-strange antibaryons due to a slightly enhanced $s{\bar s}$ pair production from massive time-like gluon decay and a larger formation of antibaryons in the hadronization process.

description: The topological electronic structure of a single twin boundary and coherent twinning superlattices (TSLs) based on the SnTe class of material is calculated and discussed within a supercell implementation. The superlattices consist of two twin planes (TPs) in the supercell arranged in such a way that each of the boundaries forms a mirror plane for the entire structure. Two types of TP boundary, cationic and anionic, can exist, and so three types of supercells can be constructed. We study the topological phases of each twinning configuration using the tight-binding approximation and calculating the topological invariants. We show that they differ by topological properties. We find that all-cationic TSLs are topologically distinct from the anionic case due to the opposite sign of the Berry curvature around the $ \mathrm{ Γ} $ point of the TSLs Brillouin Zone. Our findings are consistent with a complementary analysis of (111)-oriented slabs with a single twin boundary in the presence of the Zeeman field. They are also consistent with the number of spin-polarized Dirac-like edge states of both superlattices and slabs. We conclude that each type of TP forms the 2D mirror-plane-protected topological crystalline insulator.

rho^0-gamma mixing in the neutral channel pion form factor |F_pi|^2 and its role in comparing e^+ e^- with tau spectral functions

description: We study the effect of rho^0-gamma mixing in e^+e^- to pi^+pi^- and its relevance for the comparison of the square modulus of the pion from-factor |F^(e)_pi|^2, as measured in e^+e^- annihilation experiments, and |F^(tau)_pi|^2 the corresponding quantity obtained after accounting for known isospin breaking effects by an isospin rotation from the tau-decay spectra. After correcting the tau data for the missing rho-gamma mixing contribution, besides the other known isospin symmetry violating corrections, the pi pi I=1 part of the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon g-2 are fully compatible between tau based and e^+e^- based evaluations. tau data thus confirm result obtained with e^+e^- data. Our evaluation based on all e^+e^- data including more recent BaBar and KLOE data yields a_mu^(had)=690.75(4.72) x 10^{-10} (e^+e^- based), while including tau data we find a_mu^(had)=690.96(4.65) X 10^{-10} (e^+e^-+tau based). This backs the ~3 sigma deviation between theory and experiment. For the tau di-pion branching fraction we find B^{CVC}_{pi pi^0}=25.20 \pm0.0.17\pm0.28 from e^+e^-+CVC, while B_{pi pi^0}=25.34\pm0.0.06\pm0.08 is evaluated directly from the tau spectra.

Its gravitational redshift combined with white dwarf mass-radius models, provides us with a direct measurement of the white dwarf mass of M_1 = 0.84 pm 0.02 M_sun. The line is clearly resolved and if associated with rotational broadening gives vsini=87.0 pm 3.4 km/s, equivalent to a spin period of 97 pm 12s.

Exploring digital project delivery in renovation projects : a case study of UBC's Bioenergy Research Demonstration Facility expansion project
Creators: name: Han, Seungho
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: In recent years, there has been a significant growth in the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of BIM implementation across a range of project types and scales, and throughout the project lifecycle and the construction industry supply chain. Although interest in using BIM for existing buildings and renovation activities has been growing among researchers and practitioners, the level of BIM implementation for renovation projects has been limited. This research seeks to address this gap by providing a detailed case study analysis of the Bioenergy Research Demonstration Facility (BRDF) expansion project, a renewable energy generation facility located at the University of British Columbia’s Vancouver campus. The objective of this research project was to examine the use of BIM tools and processes to support collaborative and digital project delivery, and to identify the impact of BIM on project management practices and outcomes. This study investigated this renovation project from the perspectives of technology, organization, process and context using an embedded case study methodology. BIM was used for a variety of purposes throughout the design and construction process, including 3D laser scanning, visualization, design authoring, design review, design coordination, constructability review, communication and documentation, and construction sequence analysis. This research showed that BIM had positive impacts on the project management process and the project outcomes, including streamlined processes for communication and decision-making, and increased quality of design and construction outputs. The BRDF team also faced many challenges with BIM implementation and use, including a lack of skills and experience with BIM among the project team, insufficient BIM standards and requirements, and unclear data management processes. Future research is needed to better understand the usefulness and impact of BIM on a broad range of renovation project types and scales, project delivery methods, and organizational contexts.

Simulations of Precessing Jets and the Formation of X-shaped Radio Galaxies

description: Jet precession is sometimes invoked to explain asymmetries in radio galaxy (RG) jets and "X/S/Z-shape" radio galaxies, caused by the presence of a binary black hole companion to the source active galactic nucleus (AGN) or by accretion instabilities. We present a series of simulations of radio galaxy jet precession to examine how these sources would evolve over time, including a passive distribution of cosmic ray electrons (CRe) so we can model radio synchrotron emissions and create synthetic radio maps of the sources. We find that a single source viewed from different angles can result in differing RG morphological classifications, confusing physical implications of these classifications. Additionally, the jet trajectories can become unstable due to their own self-interactions and lead to "reorientation events" that may look like the effects of external dynamics such as shocks, winds, or cold fronts in the medium. Finally, something akin to an "Odd Radio Circle" may be observed in the case of viewing the radio remnant of such a precessing source from a line of sight near the precession axis.

Recursive $\ell_{1,\infty}$ Group lasso

description: We introduce a recursive adaptive group lasso algorithm for real-time penalized least squares prediction that produces a time sequence of optimal sparse predictor coefficient vectors. At each time index the proposed algorithm computes an exact update of the optimal $\ell_{1,\infty}$-penalized recursive least squares (RLS) predictor. Each update minimizes a convex but nondifferentiable function optimization problem. We develop an online homotopy method to reduce the computational complexity. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the $\ell_1$ regularized RLS algorithm for a group sparse system identification problem and has lower implementation complexity than direct group lasso solvers.

Directed evolution

description: Biological systems are essential tools for addressing societal challenges. There have been several successes in this field, however, a strong hindrance lies in the ephemeral nature of these systems – cells are tiny factories that evolve. Evolution poses a problem because when a desired function is encoded into the DNA of the host organism, the host uses its own resources to perform the function and there is likely no associated fitness benefit. Therefore, there is strong selection for inactivation of the function due to the metabolic load imposed on cellular resources. One way to address this problem is to engineer evolutionary stability by lowering a host organism’s basal mutation rate and concomitantly reducing the probability that an encoded function will become mutated. In Chapter 1 of this dissertation, I discuss the nature of the metabolic cost associated with engineering biology and mechanisms by which host adaptation occurs. I also explore cellular pathways involved in genetic stability and examine previously characterized antimutators. Chapter 2 describes the first iteration of a directed evolution method used to engineer antimutators in Escherichia coli, Periodic Reselection for Evolutionarily Reliable Variants (PResERV). In this first PResERV experiment, I observe that the antimutator phenotype is due to mutations in genes involved DNA replication and RNA metabolism (polA, polB, and rne). In Chapter 3, I perform the same PResERV experiment on a greater scale and characterize a series of antimutator strains. The causative alleles in many of these strains are in genes involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and electron transport chain (sucD and sdhA). These alleles are shown to reduce oxidative stress. Chapter 4 demonstrates results from another PResERV experiment using a clean-genome E. coli strain, MDS42, as the host organism. In sum, this work shows the many mechanisms that lead to an antimutator phenotype, and these findings are used to build stable strains for reliable engineering of biology. Finally, there are two appendices (Appendix A and B) which discuss my work in examining the evolutionary path to citrate utilization in Lenski’s long-term evolution experiment (LTEE) and a do-it-yourself method for using gellan gum as an alternative to microbial agar media.

description: We present theoretical studies of the influence of spin orbit coupling on the spin wave excitations of the Fe monolayer and bilayer on the W(110) surface. The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is active in such films, by virtue of the absence of reflection symmetry in the plane of the film. When the magnetization is in plane, this leads to a linear term in the spin wave dispersion relation for propagation across the magnetization. The dispersion relation thus assumes a form similar to that of an energy band of an electron trapped on a semiconductor surfaces with Rashba coupling active. We also show SPEELS response functions that illustrate the role of spin orbit coupling in such measurements. In addition to the modifications of the dispersion relations for spin waves, the presence of spin orbit coupling in the W substrate leads to a substantial increase in the linewidth of the spin wave modes. The formalism we have developed applies to a wide range of systems, and the particular system explored in the numerical calculations provides us with an illustration of phenomena which will be present in other ultrathin ferromagnet/substrate combinations.

During the last decade, the field of ancient history and classics has witnessed a slow but steady increase of publications applying to Greco-Roman history the concepts of social network analysis (SNA). While initially mainly introducing the concept of networks and connectivity in a metaphorical sense, recent research increasingly turned to the more quantitative aspects of network analysis. It is therefore quite remarkable that few attempts have been made to apply the tools of formal network analysis to a research topic ideally suited for this particular approach, viz. Greco-Roman politics. Literary sources, inscriptions and papyri offer a wealth of information on municipal and imperial elites, careers, selection procedures, and most importantly, the ties of family, marriage, friendship, patronage, and bribery that connected them. As the case studies in this special, guest-edited issue of The Journal of Historical Network Research show, SNA promises to offer new perspectives on a research field mainly dominated by more traditional prosopographical studies and at the same time provide a powerful tool for analyzing and visualizing social and political connections in ancient societies.

description: In the present work fournontrivial stages of electrokinetic instability are identified by direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the full Nernst-Planck-Poisson-Stokes (NPPS) system: i) The stage of the influence of the initial conditions (milliseconds); ii) 1D self-similar evolution (milliseconds-seconds); iii) The primary instability of the self-similar solution (seconds); iv) The nonlinear stage with secondary instabilities. The self-similar character of evolution at intermediately large times is confirmed. Rubinstein and Zaltzman instability and noise-driven nonlinear evolution to over-limiting regimes in ion-exchange membranes are numerically simulated and compared with theoretical and experimental predictions. The primary instability which happens during this stage is found to arrest self-similar growth of the diffusion layer and specifies its characteristic length as was first experimentally predicted by Yossifon and Chang (PRL 101, 254501 (2008)). A novel principle for the characteristic wave number selection from the broadbanded initial noise is established.

description: Sun and the CERT recommend for secure Java development to not allow partially initialized objects to be accessed. The CERT considers the severity of the risks taken by not following this recommendation as high. The solution currently used to enforce object initialization is to implement a coding pattern proposed by Sun, which is not formally checked. We propose a modular type system to formally specify the initialization policy of libraries or programs and a type checker to statically check at load time that all loaded classes respect the policy. This allows to prove the absence of bugs which have allowed some famous privilege escalations in Java. Our experimental results show that our safe default policy allows to prove 91% of classes of java.lang, java.security and javax.security safe without any annotation and by adding 57 simple annotations we proved all classes but four safe. The type system and its soundness theorem have been formalized and machine checked using Coq.

description: Quantum mechanics, superfluids, and capillary fluids are closely related: it is thermodynamics that links them. In this paper, the Liu procedure is used to analyze the thermodynamic requirements. A comparison with the traditional method of divergence separation highlights the role of spacetime. It is shown that perfect Korteweg fluids are holographic. The conditions under which a complex field can represent the density and velocity fields of the fluid, and where the complex scalar field becomes a wave function of quantum mechanics, are explored. The bridge between the field and particle representations of a physical system is holography, and the key to holography is the Second Law of thermodynamics.

description: In this proceeding, we have presented some highlight results on the constraints of the nuclear matter equation of state (EOS) from the data of nucleus resonance and neutron-skin thickness using the Bayesian approach based on the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model and its extension. Typically, we have discussed the anti-correlation and positive correlation between the slope parameter and the value of the symmetry energy at the saturation density under the constraint of, respectively, the neutron-skin thickness and the isovector giant dipole resonance. We have shown that the Bayesian analysis can help to find a compromise for the ``PREXII puzzle'' and the ``soft Tin puzzle". We have further illustrated the possible modifications on the constraints of lower-order EOS parameters as well as the relevant correlation when higher-order EOS parameters are incorporated as independent variables. For a given model and parameter space, the Bayesian approach serves as a good analysis tool suitable for multi-messengers versus multi-variables, and is helpful for constraining quantitatively the model parameters as well as their correlations.

description: The two-dimensional (2D) insulating material hexagonal boron nitride (h BN) has attracted much attention as the active medium in memristive devices due to its favorable physical properties, among others, a wide bandgap that enables a large switching window. Metal filament formation is frequently suggested for h-BN devices as the resistive switching (RS) mechanism, usually supported by highly specialized methods like conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Here, we investigate the switching of multilayer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) threshold memristors with two nickel (Ni) electrodes through their current conduction mechanisms. Both the high and the low resistance states are analyzed through temperature-dependent current-voltage measurements. We propose the formation and retraction of nickel filaments along boron defects in the h-BN film as the resistive switching mechanism. We corroborate our electrical data with TEM analyses to establish temperature-dependent current-voltage measurements as a valuable tool for the analysis of resistive switching phenomena in memristors made of 2D materials. Our memristors exhibit a wide and tunable current operation range and low stand-by currents, in line with the state of the art in h-BN-based threshold switches, a low cycle-to-cycle variability of 5%, and a large On/Off ratio of 10${^7}$.

A new approach to ancient archives : a re-evaluation of "daughtership" adoption at Nuzi
Creators: name: Fraughton, Lindsay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: In the early 20th century, excavations at the archaeological site of Yorghan Tepe in Northeastern Iraq revealed the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1450-1340 BCE) city of Nuzi. Over the course of four archaeological seasons, approximately 5000 cuneiform tablets were excavated from Nuzi and its surrounding areas. The tablets reveal that the people of Nuzi had many nuanced legal practices, including but not limited to lawsuits, land claims, marriages, hiring contracts, and many kinds of adoption. One adoption practice that has been the subject of scholarly inquiry for almost a century is known as “marriage adoption” or “daughtership adoption.” This practice involved young women being adopted before they were of marriageable age, to be married off to a future husband by their adopter rather than by their natal family. Although there is evidence for the adoption of young women for marriage across the ancient Near East, this practice is by far the most attested at Nuzi. Moreover, Nuzians had a unique approach to marriage adoption where the young women could be adopted in “daughtership,” “daughter-in-law-ship,” or “daughter and daughter-in-law-ship” by the adopter. Scholars have questioned how these three types of marriage adoption differ, and in addition, why this small, Hurrian town used the practice so frequently in its short 4-5 generations. This thesis seeks to answer these two questions. Toward this end, I rely not only on the content of the contracts, but also on the people who used them. Earlier scholarship has overlooked the archival contexts of the daughtership adoptions, in particular the fact that two wealthy households in Nuzi account for 40% of extant daughtership tablets. Through close reading of the daughtership contracts from private archives of Teḫip-tilla, Tulpun-naya and their respective households, I demonstrate that daughtership adoption at Nuzi is a flexible practice that had implications beyond finding a future spouse for the adoptee. Moreover, I argue that daughtership adoption varies not by “type” of contract, “daughtership,” “daughter-in-law-ship,” or “daughter and daughter-in-law-ship,” but by the different people involved in each adoption and their social/economic status.

The MUSE+ALMA Haloes Survey

description: Galaxies are constantly fed by the diffuse material from the intergalactic medium through the Circum-Galactic Medium (CGM). Strong outflows form SN or AGN feedback expel the enriched material back to the CGM. We can probe these vast gaseous haloes around galaxies by studying absorbers detected in the spectra of bright background quasars. To understand the dynamics of the system we combine the physical properties from the absorption features with the broader view of the absorber's host and its environment by emission diagnostics, using the IFU spectroscopy. In this talk, I will present the preliminary results of the study of quasar fields with 12 large N(HI) absorbers and 38 z < 1 galaxies associated with these systems, found within an impact parameter of 200 kpc from the quasar sightline. We find that each absorption systems is not clearly linked to a single galaxy, but instead can be associated to pairs or groups of galaxies. Using a multi-wavelength datasets (UVES, HST, MUSE, ALMA) we are further able to study in detail the properties of the absorbing gas as well as the galaxies associated with the quasar absorbers. Such studies of the gas kinematics and metallicity and the general CGM properties of the absorber host galaxies help to better constrain galaxy evolution models.

description: A justificativa para o desenvolvimento desta investigação fundamenta-se na irrefutável relevância da conceção das Cidades Educadoras, reportando ao entendimento da cidade como território educativo, que pode ser dotada de lugares com capacidade de desenvolvimento e transformação cidadã, com o fomento de políticas públicas educativas e culturais permanentes, que diligencia uma cultura vibrante, e coopera para o aprendizado dos seus habitantes ao longo de toda a vida. Este conceito foi inspirado no movimento das Cidades Educadoras, que teve início em 1990, com o I Congresso Internacional de Cidades Educadoras, realizado em Barcelona, Espanha. Esta investigação distinguiu três cidades de três países membros da Associação Internacional de Cidades Educadoras (AICE), que assumiram o compromisso de reger-se pelos princípios inscritos na Carta das Cidades Educadoras. Suas ações, publicadas no Banco Internacional de Documentos de Cidades Educadoras (BIDCE), corroboram o entendimento da necessidade de reestruturação dos vínculos urbanos a partir de políticas públicas por elas concebidas. As práticas compartilhadas por estas cidades assumidas como Cidades Educadoras foram: Programa de Conservação da Biodiversidade de Vila Real, Vila Real, Portugal; Plano Plurianual Participativo (PPA) da cidade de São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Brasil; e Itinerário de Viladecavalls a Can Sanahuja, com código QR, uma experiência de aprendizagem-serviço, Espanha. As experiências compartilhadas validam, através dos exemplos das suas ações educativas, a possibilidade de observar o processo de construção dos municípios em redes educativas, com a incumbência de transmutar políticas públicas educativas antiquadas, numa nova visão de cidade, onde a educação, a convivência plural, o desenvolvimento sustentável, a desigualdade social e os direitos humanos sejam reconhecidos, e o direito à cidadania seja exercido.
Aggregation of amphiphilic polymers in the presence of adhesive small colloidal particles

description: The interaction of amphiphilic polymers with small colloids, capable to reversibly stick onto the chains, is studied. Adhesive small colloids in solution are able to dynamically bind two polymer segments. This association leads to topological changes in the polymer network configurations, such as looping and cross-linking, although the reversible adhesion permits the colloid to slide along the chain backbone. Previous analyses only consider static topologies in the chain network. We show that the sliding degree of freedom ensures the dominance of small loops, over other structures, giving rise to a new perspective in the analysis of the problem. The results are applied to the analysis of the equilibrium between colloidal particles and star polymers, as well as to block copolymer micelles. The results are relevant for the reversible adsorption of silica particles onto hydrophilic polymers, used in the process of formation of mesoporous materials of the type SBA or MCM, cross-linked cyclodextrin molecules threading on the polymers and forming the structures known as polyrotaxanes. Adhesion of colloids on the corona of the latter induce micellization and growth of larger micelles as the number of colloids increases, in agreement with experimental data.

Outflows in z~6 quasars

description: In this talk I will present the latest results in the search for outflow signatures of quasars at z~6. Using ALMA archival data for a sample of ~30 z~6 quasars with [CII] observations, we developed spectral stacking methods to allow us to determine if there is a detectable outflow component for the average of the sample. We have also developed a maximum likelihood technique to determine a sub-sample of sources most likely to have an outflow component when stacked. We find a tentative signal for an outflow when stacking the full sample, with a sub-sample of 11 sources showing a clear outflow signature in their stack. I will further discuss these results in comparison to single source studies, and the strengths and caveats of our analysis.

description: My role in this conference is to warmly welcome delegates on behalf of Australia's Commonwealth Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, one of the meeting's sponsors. It will also be an honour to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we will meet - the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. I will highlight some of the achievements of the Australia-ESO strategic partnership during its first 18 months, including activities in instrumentation and industrial liaison as well as science. And I'll suggest in broad terms how Australian astronomers might work towards full membership of ESO - by making the very best use of the strategic partnership today.

The presentation will be delivered in close coordination with astronomer Eric Emsellem from ESO.
