description: Fragmentation functions (FFs) are essential nonperturbative QCD inputs for predicting hadron production cross sections in high energy scatterings. In this study, we present a joint determination of FFs for light charged hadrons through a global analysis at next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD. Our analysis incorporates a wide range of precision measurements from the LHC, as well as data from electron-positron collisions and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scatterings. By including measurements of jet fragmentation at the LHC in our global analysis, we are able to impose strong constraints on the gluon FFs. A careful selection of hadron kinematics is applied to ensure the validity of factorization and perturbative calculations of QCD. In addition, we introduce several methodological advances in fitting, resulting in a flexible parametrization form and the inclusion of theoretical uncertainties from perturbative calculations. Our best-fit predictions show very good agreement with the global data, with $χ^2$/N$_{pt}$∼0.90. We also generate a large number of Hessian error sets to estimate uncertainties and correlations of the extracted FFs. FFs to charged pions (kaons and protons) are well constrained for momentum fractions down to 0.01 (0.1). Total momentum of partons carried by light charged hadrons are determined precisely. Their values for u, d quarks and gluon saturate at about 50% for a lower cut of the momentum fraction of 0.01. Comparing our determinations to results from other groups, we find significant discrepancies, particularly for the proton fragmentation functions, as well as for gluon and unfavored quarks to pions and kaons. Pulls from individual datasets and impact of various choices of the analysis are also studied in details. Our analysis raises questions concerning existing and future experimental measurements, including the need for clarifications on the definitions of various hadron final states and the necessity of further measurements on fragmentation from heavy quarks. Additionally, we present an update of the fmnlo program used for calculating hadron production cross sections. We demonstrate the broad applications of the fmnlo program combined with our new FFs, including NLO predictions on jet charges in proton collisions and reference cross sections for heavy-ion collisions, which show good agreement with LHC data. Our FFs, including the error sets (denoted as NPC23), are publicly available in the form of LHAPDF6 grids.

description: We simulate the transition from amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) to lasing in random systems with varying degrees of mode overlap. This is accomplished by solving the stochastic Maxwell-Bloch equations with the finite-difference time-domain method. Below lasing threshold, the continuous emission spectra are narrowed by frequency-dependent amplification. Our simulations reproduce the stochastic emission spikes in the spectra. Well-defined peaks, corresponding to the system resonances, emerge at higher pumping and are narrowed by stimulated emission before lasing takes place. Noise tends to distribute pump energy over many modes, resulting in multi-mode operation. Well above the lasing threshold, the effects of noise lessen and results become similar to those without noise. By comparing systems of different scattering strength, we find that weaker scattering extends the transition region from ASE to lasing, where the effects of noise are most significant.

Weakening dark-matter cusps by clumpy baryonic infall

description: We consider the infall of a massive clump into a dark-matter halo as a simple and extreme model for the effect of baryonic physics (neglected in gravity-only simulations of large-scale structure formation) on the dark-matter. We find that such an infalling clump is extremely efficient in altering the structure of the halo and reducing its central density: a clump of 1% the mass of the halo can remove about twice its own mass from the inner halo and transform a cusp into a core or weaker cusp. If the clump is subsequently removed, mimicking a galactic wind, the central halo density is further reduced and the mass removed from the inner halo doubled. Lighter clumps are even more efficient: the ratio of removed mass to clump mass increases slightly towards smaller clump masses. This process is the more efficient the more radially anisotropic the initial dark-matter velocities. While such a clumpy infall may be somewhat unrealistic, it demonstrates that the baryons need to transfer only a small fraction of their initial energy to the dark matter via dynamical friction to explain the discrepancy between predicted dark-matter density profiles and those inferred from observations of dark-matter dominated galaxies.

description: Creatures in the real world constantly encounter new and diverse challenges they have never seen before. They will often need to adapt to some of these tasks and solve them in order to survive. This almost endless world of novel challenges is not as common in virtual environments, where artificially evolving agents often have a limited set of tasks to solve. An exception to this is the field of open-endedness where the goal is to create unbounded exploration of interesting artefacts. We want to move one step closer to creating simulated environments similar to the diverse real world, where agents can both find solvable tasks, and adapt to them. Through the use of MAP-Elites we create a structured repertoire, a map, of terrains and virtual creatures that locomote through them. By using novelty as a dimension in the grid, the map can continuously develop to encourage exploration of new environments. The agents must adapt to the environments found, but can also search for environments within each cell of the grid to find the one that best fits their set of skills. Our approach combines the structure of MAP-Elites, which can allow the virtual creatures to use adjacent cells as stepping stones to solve increasingly difficult environments, with open-ended innovation. This leads to a search that is unbounded, but still has a clear structure. We find that while handcrafted bounded dimensions for the map lead to quicker exploration of a large set of environments, both the bounded and unbounded approach manage to solve a diverse set of terrains.

description: The young cluster NGC 2264 was observed with the Corot satellite for 23 days uninterruptedly in March 2008 with unprecedent photometric accuracy. We present here the first results of the analysis of the accreting population. We intended to look for possible light curve variability of the same nature as that observed in the classical T Tauri star AA Tau, which was attributed to a magnetically controlled inner disk warp, which is directly associated with the interaction between the stellar magnetic field and the inner disk region. We analysed the Corot light curves of 83 previously known classical T Tauri stars that belong to NGC 2264 and classified them according to their morphology. We also studied the Corot light curve morphology as a function of a Spitzer-based classification of the star-disk systems. The classification derived on the basis of the Corot light curve morphology agrees very well with the Spitzer IRAC-based classification of the systems. The percentage of AA Tau-like light curves decreases as the inner disk dissipates, from 40% +- 10% in systems with thick inner disks to 36% +- 16% in systems with anemic disks and none in naked photosphere systems. Indeed, 91% +- 29% of the CTTS with naked photospheres exhibit pure spot-like variability, while only 18% +- 7% of the thick disk systems do so, presumably those seen at low inclination and thus free of variable obscuration. AA Tau-like light curves are found to be fairly common, with a frequency of at least ~ 30 to 40% in young stars with inner dusty disks. The temporal evolution of the light curves indicates that the structure of the inner disk warp, located close to the corotation radius and responsible for the obscuration episodes, varies over a timescale of a few (~ 1-3) rotational periods. This probably reflects the highly dynamical nature of the star-disk magnetospheric interaction.

Facial expression, vocalizations and eye temperature as potential indicators of pain in harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)
Creators: name: MacRae, Amelia Mari
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Pain assessment in animals typically relies on a combination of physiological and behavioural measures. Unfortunately, many of these measures require handling the animals or physical sampling, which are invasive and can result in a stress response. The aim of this thesis was to identify some possible non-invasive indicators of pain in harbour seals as no clear species-specific indicators had been established. I investigated whether or not seals showed changes in facial expression and other behaviours (Chapter 2), vocalizations (Chapter 3), or eye temperature (Chapter 4) in response to the routine procedures of flipper-tagging and microchipping. Seals showed changes in facial expression and in several other behaviours in response to the procedures. Most notably, orbital tightening increased from before to after tagging and microchipping (p < 0.001), whereas the behaviours of looking around (p < 0.01) and struggling (p < 0.05) decreased. Sham treatment produced no similar changes (Chapter 2). The number of vocalizations increased from before tagging to after (p < 0.001) and the peak frequency increased from 837.1 ± 75 Hz before to 1041 ± 75 Hz after (mean ± SEM; p < 0.01). Similarly, there were more vocalizations after chipping than before (p < 0.001), and peak frequencies of the calls increased from 848.8 ± 79 Hz before to 1111.2 ± 79 Hz after (mean ± SEM; p < 0.05). No similar changes in vocalizations were seen after sham treatments (Chapter 3). Lastly, seals’ eye temperature increased after tagging but not after sham-tagging (p < 0.05), suggesting that a rise in eye temperature may reflect pain. However, eye temperature also increased in response to handling and an injection of lidocaine, suggesting change in eye temperature is non-specific to pain. Lidocaine, at the dosage used, did not appear to have a mitigating effect on the pain from tagging and chipping (Chapter 4). These results show promise for the use of facial expressions and other behaviours, including vocalizations, to assess potentially painful procedures in seals. Similarly, the use of eye temperature has potential to indicate a stress response and to evaluate the potential aversiveness of routine procedures in this species.

description: Thermo-optical effects cause a bifocusing of incoming beams in optical media, due to the birefringence created by a thermal lens that can resolve the incoming beams into two-component signals of different polarizations. We propose a non-perturbative theoretical description of the process of formation of double-pulse solitons in Kerr optical media with a thermally-induced birefringence, based on solving simultaneously the heat equation and the propagation equation for a beam in a one-dimensional medium with uniform heat flux load. By means of a non-isospectral Inverse Scattering Transform assuming an initial solution with a pulse shape, a one-soliton solution to the wave equation is obtained that represents a double-pulse beam which characteristic properties depend strongly on the profile of heat spatial distribution.

description: There is a marked increase in delivery services in urban areas, and with Jeff Bezos claiming that 86% of the orders that Amazon ships weigh less than 5 lbs, the time is ripe for investigation into economical methods of automating the final stage of the delivery process. With the advent of semi-autonomous drone delivery services, such as Irish startup `Manna', and Malta's `Skymax', the final step of the delivery journey remains the most difficult to automate. This paper investigates the use of simple images captured by a single RGB camera on a UAV to distinguish between safe and unsafe landing zones. We investigate semantic image segmentation frameworks as a way to identify safe landing zones and demonstrate the accuracy of lightweight models that minimise the number of sensors needed. By working with images rather than video we reduce the amount of energy needed to identify safe landing zones for a drone, without the need for human intervention.

description: Prototyping robotic systems is a time consuming process. Computer aided design, however, might speed up the process significantly. Quality-diversity evolutionary approaches optimise for novelty as well as performance, and can be used to generate a repertoire of diverse designs. This design repertoire could be used as a tool to guide a designer and kick-start the rapid prototyping process. This paper explores this idea in the context of mechanical linkage based robots. These robots can be a good test-bed for rapid prototyping, as they can be modified quickly for swift iterations in design. We compare three evolutionary algorithms for optimising 2D mechanical linkages: 1) a standard evolutionary algorithm, 2) the multi-objective algorithm NSGA-II, and 3) the quality-diversity algorithm MAP-Elites. Some of the found linkages are then realized on a physical hexapod robot through a prototyping process, and tested on two different floors. We find that all the tested approaches, except the standard evolutionary algorithm, are capable of finding mechanical linkages that creates a path similar to a specified desired path. However, the quality-diversity approaches that had the length of the linkage as a behaviour descriptor were the most useful when prototyping. This was due to the quality-diversity approaches having a larger variety of similar designs to choose from, and because the search could be constrained by the behaviour descriptors to make linkages that were viable for construction on our hexapod platform.
Real-time ultrasound bone segmentation and robust US-CT registration for surgical navigation of pelvic fractures
Creators: name: Pandey, Prashant
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Surgically repairing pelvic fractures is complex and includes intensive use of ionizing X-rays. The surgery is prone to screw insertion errors, which can harm the patient. We aim to alleviate these issues by proposing ultrasound (US), instead of X-rays, to guide the surgery. However, US images are noisy, which makes them difficulty to use intraoperatively. This thesis presents segmentation and registration methods aimed at making an US based pelvic fracture repair technique possible. We perform a scoping review of US bone segmentation literature to better understand the current state of the field. We find a lack of consistency in validation practices, especially in quantifying segmentation accuracy. We also recommend techniques based on clinical requirements. We then develop a three-dimensional (3D) US bone segmentation technique: ’Shadow Peak’ (SP), which uses simplified analysis of shadow and peak intensity information in US. In a full-sized pelvic phantom study and on pilot in-vivo pediatric data, we demonstrate SP to be more accurate than two state-of-the-art segmentation methods: phase symmetry (PS) and confidence-weighted structured phase symmetry (CSPS). SP achieves a mean F-score of 63% compared to 54% for PS and 34% for CSPS on phantom data, and 94% on in-vivo data compared to 70% and 72% for PS and CSPS. SP is real-time with a mean runtime of 0.48s per volume, compared to 18.1s and 21.95s for PS and CSPS. Thirdly, we develop a registration pipeline for aligning tracked US and preoperative CT, using the normalized cross-correlation (NCC) similarity metric. We find NCC-based registration is more accurate and robust than Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) and Coherent Point Drift (CPD) point-set registrations, two methods previously used for US-CT bone registration. SP segmentation with NCC registration achieves a mean target registration error of 3.22mm, compared to 3.89mm with CPD, while GMM registration typically fails. All methods are evaluated on a full-sized pelvic phantom containing soft-tissue details. Our proposed methods are fast and accurate as tested on phantom and in-vivo datasets, and have the potential to make ultrasound-based pelvic fracture guidance practically feasible. Moreover, our US bone segmentation review is useful for guiding future studies in the field.

description: Shear thickening is a phenomenon of significant viscosity increase of colloidal suspensions. While electrorheological (ER) fluids can be turned into a solid-like material by applying an electric field, their shear strength is widely represented by the attractive electrostatic interaction between ER particles. By shearing ER fluids between two concentric cylinders, we show a reversible shear thickening of ER fluids above a low critical shear rate (<1 s-1) and a high critical electric field strength (>100 V/mm), which could be characterized by a modified Mason number. Shear thickening and electrostatic particle interaction-induced inter-particle friction forces is considered to be the real origin of the high shear strength of ER fluids, while the applied electric field controls the extent of shear thickening. The electric field-controlled reversible shear thickening has implications for high-performance ER/magnetorheological (MR) fluid design, clutch fluids with high friction forces triggered by applying local electric field, other field-responsive materials and intelligent systems.

description: We report the discovery of a new broad interstellar (or circumstellar) band at 7088.8 +- 2.0 Åcoincident to within the measurement uncertainties with the strongest band of the anthracene cation (C$_{14}$H$_{10}$$^+$) as measured in gas-phase laboratory spectroscopy at low temperatures (Sukhorukov et al.2004). The band is detected in the line of sight of star Cernis 52, a likely member of the very young star cluster IC 348, and is probably associated with cold absorbing material in a intervening molecular cloud of the Perseus star forming region where various experiments have recently detected anomalous microwave emission. From the measured intensity and available oscillator strength we find a column density of N$_{an^+}$= 1.1(+-0.4) x 10$^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$ implying that ~0.008% of the carbon in the cloud could be in the form of C$_{14}$H$_{10}$$^+$. A similar abundance has been recently claimed for the naphthalene cation (Iglesias-Groth et al. 2008) in this cloud. This is the first location outside the Solar System where specific PAHs are identified. We report observations of interstellar lines of CH and CH$^+$ that support a rather high column density for these species and for molecular hydrogen. The strength ratio of the two prominent diffuse interstellar bands at 5780 and 5797 Åsuggests the presence of a ``zeta'' type cloud in the line of sight (consistent with steep far-UV extinction and high molecular content). The presence of PAH cations and other related hydrogenated carbon molecules which are likely to occur in this type of clouds reinforce the suggestion that electric dipole radiation from fast spinning PAHs is responsible of the anomalous microwave emission detected toward Perseus.

description: We investigate half-metallicity in [001] stacked (CrAs)$_n$/(GaAs)$_n$ heterostructures with $n \leq 3$ by means of a combined many-body and electronic structure calculation. Interface states in the presence of strong electronic correlations are discussed for the case $n=1$. For $n=2,3$ our results indicate that the minority spin half-metallic gap is suppressed by local correlations at finite temperatures, and continuously shrinks upon increasing the heterostructure period. Although around room temperature the magnetization of the heterostructure deviates by only $2%$ from the ideal integer value, finite temperature polarization at $E_F$ is reduced by at least $25%$. Below the Fermi level the minority spin highest valence states are found to localize more on the GaAs layers while lowest conduction states have a many-body origin. Our results, therefore, suggest that in these heterostructures holes and electrons remain separated among different layers.

The developed SMART Greenhouse monitoring system was tested and evaluated to confirm its reliability, functions, and usability under ISO 9126 evaluation criteria. The respondents who include casual plant owners and experts in hydroponic gardening able to test and evaluate the prototype, and the mobile application to monitor the parameters with the results of 7.77 for pH level, 83 for light, 27.94 deg C for water temperature, 27 deg C for greenhouse temperature, and 75% for humidity with a descriptive result in both software and hardware as Very Good with a mean average of 4.06 which means that the developed technology is useful and recommended. The SMART Greenhouse System for Hydroponic Garden is used as an alternative tool, solution, and innovation technique towards food shortages due to climate change, land shortages, and low farming environments. The proponents highly suggest the use of solar energy for the pump power, prototype wiring should be improved, the usage of a high-end model of Arduino to address more sensors and devices for a larger arsenal of data collected, enclosures of the device to ensure safety, and mobile application updates such as bug fixes and have an e-manual of the whole systems.

description: We study the distribution of the position of the rightmost particle $x_{\max}$ in a $N$-particle Riesz gas in one dimension confined in a harmonic trap. The particles interact via long-range repulsive potential, of the form $r^{-k}$ with $-2-2$. We also find that these large deviation functions describe a pulled to pushed type phase transition as observed in Dyson's log-gas ($k\to 0$) and $1d$ one component plasma ($k=-1$). Remarkably, we find that the phase transition remains $3^{\rm rd}$ order for the entire regime. Our results demonstrate the striking universality of the $3^{\rm rd}$ order transition even in models that fall outside the paradigm of Coulomb systems and the random matrix theory. We numerically verify our analytical expressions of the large deviation functions via Monte Carlo simulation using an importance sampling algorithm.

description: This Thesis proposes three main objectives: (i) to provide the concept of a new generalized non-standard synthesis model that would provide the framework for incorporating other non-standard synthesis approaches; (ii) to explore dynamic sound modeling through the application of new non-standard synthesis techniques and procedures; and (iii) to experiment with dynamic sound synthesis for the creation of novel sound objects. In order to achieve these objectives, this Thesis introduces a new paradigm for non-standard synthesis that is based in the algorithmic assemblage of minute wave segments to form sound waveforms. This paradigm is called Extended Waveform Segment Synthesis (EWSS) and incorporates a hierarchy of algorithmic models for the generation of microsound structures. The concepts of EWSS are illustrated with the development and presentation of a novel non-standard synthesis system, the Dynamic Waveform Segment Synthesis (DWSS). DWSS features and combines a variety of algorithmic models for direct synthesis generation: list generation and permutation, tendency masks, trigonometric functions, stochastic functions, chaotic functions and grammars. The core mechanism of DWSS is based in an extended application of Cellular Automata. The potential of the synthetic capabilities of DWSS is explored in a series of Case Studies where a number of sound object were generated revealing (i) the capabilities of the system to generate sound morphologies belonging to other non-standard synthesis approaches and, (ii) the capabilities of the system of generating novel sound objects with dynamic morphologies. The introduction of EWSS and DWSS is preceded by an extensive and critical overview on the concepts of microsound synthesis, algorithmic composition, the two cultures of computer music, the heretical approach in composition, non- standard synthesis and sonic emergence along with the thorough examination of algorithmic models and their application in sound synthesis and electroacoustic composition. This Thesis also proposes (i) a new definition for “algorithmic composition”, (ii) the term “totalistic algorithmic composition”, and (iii) four discrete aspects of non-standard synthesis.

Search for p-mode oscillations in DA white dwarfs with VLT-ULTRACAM. I. Upper limits to the p-modes

description: The main goal of this project is to search for p-mode oscillations in a selected sample of DA white dwarfs near the blue edge of the DAV (g-mode) instability strip, where the p-modes should be excited following theoretical models. A set of high quality time-series data on nine targets has been obtained in 3 photometric bands (Sloan u', g', r') using ULTRACAM at the VLT with a typical time resolution of a few tens of ms. Such high resolution is required because theory predicts very short periods, of the order of a second, for the p-modes in white dwarfs. The data have been analyzed using Fourier transform and correlation analysis methods. Results: P-modes have not been detected in any of our targets. The upper limits obtained for the pulsation amplitude, typically less than 0.1%, are the smallest limits reported in the literature. The Nyquist frequencies are large enough to fully cover the frequency range of interest for the p-modes. For the brightest target of our sample, G 185-32, a p-mode oscillation with a relative amplitude of 5x10**(-4) would have been easily detected, as shown by a simple simulation. For G 185-32 we note an excess of power below ~2 Hz in all the three nights of observation, which might be due in principle to tens of low-amplitude close modes. However, neither correlation analysis nor Fourier transform of the amplitude spectrum show significant results. We also checked the possibility that the p-modes have a very short lifetime, shorter than the observing runs, by dividing each run in several subsets and analyzing these subsets independently. The amplitude spectra show only a few peaks with S/N ratio higher than 4 sigma but the same peaks are not detected in different subsets, as we would expect, and we do not see any indication of frequency spacing. As a secondary result of this project, ... (see the paper)

description: Die Umsetzung des Leitbildes der Nachhaltigkeit in der europäischen und nationalen Agrarpolitik stellt Landwirte vor erhöhte Anforderungen an ihr Betriebsmanagement. Für ein machhaltiges und insbesondere für ein naturschutzorientiertes Betriebsmanagement benötigen Landwirte heute in verstärktem Maße betriebsbezogene Fachinformationen, die bisher kaum zur Verfügung stehen. Existierende EDV-gestützte Umweltbewertungssysteme für die Ebene des landwirtschaftlichen Betriebs sind in erster Linie auf abiotische Umweltwirkungen der Landwirtschaft ausgerichtet. Das Thema Biodiversität decken diese Systeme bisher nicht ab. Auch die Möglichkeiten von geographischen Informationssystemen (GIS) werden bisher nicht ausreichend für das Naturschutzmanagement auf landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben genutzt. Die Software MANUELA (Management Naturschutz für eine nachhaltige Landwirtschaft), die am Institut für Umweltplanung entwickelt wurde, schließt diese Lücke. MANUELA ist ein Open Source System für das Betriebsmanagement und die Naturschutzberatung unter Einsatz eines speziell angepassten GIS. Die Software unterstützt landwirtschaftliche Betriebe insbesondere bei: - der Darstellung und Bewertung von Betriebsleistungen im Hinblick auf die Biodiversität und den Biotopverbund, - der Analyse von Nutzungswirkungen und (Biotop-)Entwicklungspotenzialen, - der Abschätzung des Wasserverbrauchs und damit zusammenhängender Kosten, - der Ableitung von Maßnahmen zur Optimierung des nachhaltigen Betriebsmanagements.

Locking and unlocking of quantum nonlocality without entanglement in local discrimination of quantum states

description: The phenomenon of nonlocality without entanglement(NLWE) arises in discriminating multi-party quantum separable states. Recently, it has been found that the post-measurement information about the prepared subensemble can lock or unlock NLWE in minimum-error discrimination of non-orthogonal separable states. Thus, it is natural to ask whether the availability of the post-measurement information can influence on the occurrence of NLWE even in other state-discrimination strategies. Here, we show that the post-measurement information can be used to lock as well as unlock the occurrence of NLWE in terms of optimal unambiguous discrimination. Our results can provide a useful application for hiding or sharing information based on non-orthogonal separable states.

description: To investigate the static and dynamic magnetic properties on the uranium-based superconductor UTe$_{2}$, we measured the NMR Knight shift $K$ and the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_{1}$ in $H \parallel a$ by $^{125}$Te-NMR on a $^{125}$Te-enriched single-crystal sample. $1/T_1T$ in $H \parallel a$ is much smaller than $1/T_1T$ in $H \parallel b$ and $c$, and magnetic fluctuations along each axis are derived from the $1/T_1T$ measured in $H$ parallel to all three crystalline axes. The magnetic fluctuations are almost identical at two Te sites and isotropic at high temperatures, but become anisotropic below 40 K, where heavy-fermion state is formed. The character of magnetic fluctuations in UTe$_2$ is discussed with the comparison to its static susceptibility and the results on other U-based superconductors. It is considered that the magnetic fluctuations probed with the NMR measurements are determined by the magnetic properties inside the two-leg ladder formed by U atoms, which are dominated by the $q_a$ = 0 ferromagnetic fluctuations.
