description: We consider supergravity with a gravitino lightest supersymmetric particle. The next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) decays to the gravitino with lifetime naturally in the range 10^4 - 10^8 s. However, cosmological constraints exclude lifetimes at the upper end of this range and disfavor neutralinos as NLSPs, leaving charged sleptons with lifetimes below a year as the natural NLSP candidates. Decays to gravitinos may therefore be observed by trapping slepton NLSPs in water tanks placed outside Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and International Linear Collider (ILC) detectors and draining these tanks periodically to underground reservoirs where slepton decays may be observed in quiet environments. We consider 0.1, 1, and 10 kton traps and optimize their shape and placement. We find that the LHC may trap tens to thousands of sleptons per year. At the ILC, these results may be improved by an order of magnitude in some cases by tuning the beam energy to produce slow sleptons. Precision studies of slepton decays are therefore possible and will provide direct observations of gravitational effects at colliders; percent level measurements of the gravitino mass and Newton's constant; precise determinations of the gravitino's contribution to dark matter and supersymmetry breaking's contribution to dark energy; quantitative tests of supergravity relations; and laboratory studies of Big Bang nucleosynthesis and cosmic microwave background phenomena.

The age and origin of megacrysts in the Jericho kimberlite (Nunavut, Canada)
Creators: name: Marković, Goran
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Fourteen samples of megacrysts from Jericho kimberlite have been studied. The study includes petrography, geochemistry of major and minor elements, thermobarometry and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic analyses. The purpose of the study is to determine the relationship between megacrysts and kimberlites (xenocrystal vs cognate) and shed light on the nature of melts parental to kimberlite megacrysts. The Jericho megacrysts include garnet, clinopyroxene, olivine, ilmenite and orthopyroxene. A unique feature of Jericho megacrysts is its gradual transition from discrete megacrysts to megacrystalline pyroxenites. Equilibrium temperatures and pressures were calculated for eight megacryst samples. All calculated P-T place megacrysts into deep garnet-bearing mantle, with T=1200-1280° C and P=60-71 kbar. The P-T estimates for orthopyroxene-bearing samples are identical to P-T estimates for orthopyroxene-free samples, with 195-230 km depth range. Thermobarometric data on Jericho megacrysts cannot give a definitive answer about their origin. The ratios of Rb and Sr isotopes define a slope that corresponds to the age of 179 ± 21 Ma, Sm-Nd system gives an age of 177 ± 7.3 Ma and Lu-Hf ratios define a line with a slope that corresponds to the age of 169 ± 63 Ma. The Sm-Nd apparent isochron age of megacrysts (177 ± 7.3 Ma) falls within the brackets of the Jericho kimberlite age, as determined from the Rb-Sr isotopic systematics of phlogopite (171.9 ± 2.6 Ma). Isotopic ratios of megacrysts and kimberlite are different, supporting a view that megacrysts could not crystallize from kimberlite magma. On the Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic diagrams, the majority of megacrysts plot within the mixing array of HIMU mantle and EM I and thus can be produced by melting of the metasomatically altered CLM that experienced preferential extraction of Rb and Pb by CO₂-rich fluids (HIMU reservoir) and addition of lower continental crust (EMI reservoir). On the Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic diagrams kimberlites plot within mixing array of HIMU mantle and EM II. A protolith for the kimberlites can be the metasomatically altered CLM (HIMU) that incorporated some subducted terrigenous sediments of the upper crust (EMII reservoir). The difference in Sr-Nd systematics of Jericho megacrysts and kimberlites can be explained by varied contribution of EMI or EMII to prevalent HIMU-type mantle. Results obtained in this study suggest that Jericho megacrysts did not crystallize from host kimberlite. Even though megacrysts are not phenocrysts, they should be considered cognate to kimberlites having crystallized from associated quasi- contemporaneous melts rather than being xenocrysts totally unrelated by the age.

title: Teacher Autonomy in Turkish Lower Secondary Schools, in Relation to English Language Teaching: A Mixed Methods Study
Creators: name: Khalil, Betul
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: Teacher autonomy has long been a topic of great interest in the field of applied linguistics for language learning and teaching. However, the research to date on the subject has been mostly restricted to the exercise of autonomy by teachers within their classrooms. Schools are large social organisations and language teachers are active participants in these organisations. They undertake a number of roles and responsibilities within their work contexts. Therefore, we need to extend our scrutiny of language teachers’ exercise of autonomy to encompass not only their teaching practice in the classroom but also their wider organizational roles. Adopting just such a broader approach, this research examines the concept of teacher autonomy in Turkish state lower secondary schools with reference to English language teaching. The aims of this study are to explore how teacher autonomy is understood in an institution-wide context and how it is exercised in relation to four areas of teacher activity: teaching and assessment, school management, professional development and curriculum development. My purpose is to uncover the deep structures that shape understandings and the exercise of teacher autonomy. To investigate the emergence of teacher autonomy, this study draws upon the critical realism approach developed by Roy Bhaskar, applying his transformational model of the connection between social structure and agency. Taking a mixed methods approach, it relies on a range of data sources including documents, a questionnaire, observations and interviews with Turkish teachers of English, head teachers and educational administrators. The research revealed that teacher autonomy was a meaningful concept within the Turkish education system and was exercised in varying degrees in relation to all four areas of teacher activity. A complex interplay between structure and agency underpinned the emergence of teacher autonomy. The understanding and exercise of teacher autonomy were shaped by the geopolitical context, compliance and accountability, trust, school culture, and teacher collegiality mechanisms. The outcomes of this research have implications for our understanding of teacher autonomy in the field of applied linguistics and for improving the quality of English language teaching in Turkey.

description: We study the class of noncommutative theories in $d$ dimensions whose spatial coordinates $(x_i)_{i=1}^d$ can be obtained by performing a smooth change of variables on $(y_i)_{i=1}^d$, the coordinates of a standard noncommutative theory, which satisfy the relation $[y_i, y_j] = i θ_{ij}$, with a constant $θ_{ij}$ tensor. The $x_i$ variables verify a commutation relation which is, in general, space-dependent. We study the main properties of this special kind of noncommutative theory and show explicitly that, in two dimensions, any theory with a space-dependent commutation relation can be mapped to another where that $θ_{ij}$ is constant.

description: Accelerometry data has been widely used to measure activity and the circadian rhythm of individuals across the health sciences, in particular with people with advanced dementia. Modern accelerometers can record continuous observations on a single individual for several days at a sampling frequency of the order of one hertz. Such rich and lengthy data sets provide new opportunities for statistical insight, but also pose challenges in selecting from a wide range of possible summary statistics, and how the calculation of such statistics should be optimally tuned and implemented. In this paper, we build on existing approaches, as well as propose new summary statistics, and detail how these should be implemented with high frequency accelerometry data. We test and validate our methods on an observed data set from 26 recordings from individuals with advanced dementia and 14 recordings from individuals without dementia. We study four metrics: Interdaily stability (IS), intradaily variability (IV), the scaling exponent from detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), and a novel nonparametric estimator which we call the proportion of variance (PoV), which calculates the strength of the circadian rhythm using spectral density estimation. We perform a detailed analysis indicating how the time series should be optimally subsampled to calculate IV, and recommend a subsampling rate of approximately 5 minutes for the dataset that has been studied. In addition, we propose the use of the DFA scaling exponent separately for daytime and nighttime, to further separate effects between individuals. We compare the relationships between all these methods and show that they effectively capture different features of the time series.

description: We present the results of the northern extension of the HI Parkes Zone of Avoidance Survey, a blind HI survey utilizing the multibeam receiver on the Parkes 64-m telescope. In the two regions studied here, l=36 to 52 deg. and l=196 to 212 deg., |b|<5 deg., we have detected 77 HI galaxies, twenty of which have been previously detected in HI. The survey has a median rms noise of 6.0 mJy/beam and is complete to a mean flux density of 22 mJy. We have searched for multiwavelength counterparts to the 77 galaxies detected here: 19, 27, and 11 have a likely optical, 2MASS, and IRAS cataloged counterpart, respectively. A further 16 galaxies have likely visible counterparts on the Digitized Sky Survey. The detection of these 77 galaxies allows a closer inspection of the large-scale structures in these regions. We see several filaments crossing the Galactic plane, one of which appears to be the continuation of a sine-wave like feature that can be traced across the whole southern sky. An analysis of the HI mass function suggests that the regions studied here may be underdense. One particularly noteworthy galaxy is HIZOA J0630+08 (l,b = 203 deg., -0.9 deg.) with a velocity of 367 km/s. We suggest that it belongs to the nearby Orion Group which includes a small number of dwarf galaxies. The newly detected galaxies improve our understanding of the properties of several voids, such as the Orion, Gemini, and Canis Major Voids.

Investigating Entity Knowledge in BERT with Simple Neural End-To-End Entity Linking

description: A typical architecture for end-to-end entity linking systems consists of three steps: mention detection, candidate generation and entity disambiguation. In this study we investigate the following questions: (a) Can all those steps be learned jointly with a model for contextualized text-representations, i.e. BERT (Devlin et al., 2019)? (b) How much entity knowledge is already contained in pretrained BERT? (c) Does additional entity knowledge improve BERT's performance in downstream tasks? To this end, we propose an extreme simplification of the entity linking setup that works surprisingly well: simply cast it as a per token classification over the entire entity vocabulary (over 700K classes in our case). We show on an entity linking benchmark that (i) this model improves the entity representations over plain BERT, (ii) that it outperforms entity linking architectures that optimize the tasks separately and (iii) that it only comes second to the current state-of-the-art that does mention detection and entity disambiguation jointly. Additionally, we investigate the usefulness of entity-aware token-representations in the text-understanding benchmark GLUE, as well as the question answering benchmarks SQUAD V2 and SWAG and also the EN-DE WMT14 machine translation benchmark. To our surprise, we find that most of those benchmarks do not benefit from additional entity knowledge, except for a task with very small training data, the RTE task in GLUE, which improves by 2%.

description: The recently proposed infrared modification of gravity through the introduction of a ghost scalar field results in a number of interesting cosmological and phenomenological implications. In this paper, we derive the exact cosmological solutions for a number of scenarios where at late stages, the ghost behaves like dark matter, or dark energy. The full solutions give valuable information about the non-linear regime beyond the asymptotic first order analysis presented in the literature. The generic feature is that these ghost cosmologies give rise to smooth transitions between radiation dominated phases (or more general power-law expansions) at early epochs and ghost dark matter resp. ghost dark energy dominated late epochs. The current age of our universe places us right at the non-linear transition phase. By studying the evolution backwards in time, we find that the dominance of the ghost over ordinary baryonic matter and radiative contributions persists back to the earliest times such that the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker geometry is dictated to a good approximation by the ghost alone. We also find that the Jeans instability occurs in the ghost dark energy scenario at late times, while it is absent in the ghost dark matter scenario.

description: This study investigated the relationship between infant feeding practices and weight gain in infants aged 0–6 months. A total of 69 infants were recruited for the study, and their feeding practices were categorized into three groups: exclusive breastfeeding, complementary breastfeeding, and predominant breastfeeding.

The results of the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed a significant difference in the mean weight gain between the three feeding practice groups after controlling for infant age and sex. Specifically, infants who were exclusively breastfed had higher mean weight gain compared with those who received complementary or predominant breastfeeding.

The study'’sfindings have implications for health care professionals and parents in promoting optimal infant feeding practices that support healthy weight gain and overall growth and development.
Colors, magnitudes and velocity dispersions in early-type galaxies: Implications for galaxy ages and metallicities

description: We present an analysis of the color-magnitude-velocity dispersion relation for a sample of 39320 early-type galaxies within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We demonstrate that the color-magnitude relation is entirely a consequence of the fact that both the luminosities and colors of these galaxies are correlated with stellar velocity dispersions. Previous studies of the color-magnitude relation over a range of redshifts suggest that the luminosity of an early-type galaxy is an indicator of its metallicity, whereas residuals in color from the relation are indicators of the luminosity-weighted age of its stars. We show that this, when combined with our finding that velocity dispersion plays a crucial role, has a number of interesting implications. First, galaxies with large velocity dispersions tend to be older (i.e., they scatter redward of the color-magnitude relation). Similarly, galaxies with large dynamical mass estimates also tend to be older. In addition, at fixed luminosity, galaxies which are smaller, or have larger velocity dispersions, or are more massive, tend to be older. Second, models in which galaxies with the largest velocity dispersions are also the most metal poor are difficult to reconcile with our data. However, at fixed velocity dispersion, galaxies have a range of ages and metallicities: the older galaxies have smaller metallicities, and vice-versa. Finally, a plot of velocity dispersion versus luminosity can be used as an age indicator: lines of constant age run parallel to the correlation between velocity dispersion and luminosity.

The Interior Volume of Kerr-AdS Black Holes

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The interior volume of black holes as defined by Christodoulou and Rovelli exhibits many surprising features. For example, it increases with time, even under Hawking evaporation. For some black holes, the interior volume is not even a monotonic increasing function of its area, which means one cannot infer how large a black hole is by just looking from the outside. Such a notion of volume, however, turns out to be useful in the context of holography, as it seems to be dual to the complexity of the boundary field theory. In this study, we investigate the properties of the interior volume of 4-dimensional Kerr-AdS black holes, fixing either the mass parameter $M$ or the physical mass $E$, whilst varying the values of the cosmological constant. We found that the volume as a function of the radial coordinate features a "double lobe" while fixing $M$, whereas fixing $E$ yields behaviors that are qualitatively similar to the asymptotically flat case. We briefly comment on the holographic complexity of Kerr-AdS black holes.

Klondike placer gold : new tools for examining morphology, composition and crystallinity
Creators: name: Crawford, Evan Cameron
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This work focuses on developing and expanding the utility of several new and previously used methods for examining the morphology, composition and crystallinity of placer gold. Several studies using samples from the Klondike District and surrounding areas in west-central Yukon investigating each of these properties are presented, along with potential future applications for the methods, and implications of the results already obtained. The new method for examination of the morphology of placer gold is centered around semi-automated digital image analysis. Automating morphological analysis allows more accurate and reproducible measurement of much larger number of grains as compared to manual methods, allowing for improved statistical analyses of placer gold morphology. Combining results from these new methods of morphological analysis with conventional electron microprobe analysis of composition has produced a detailed model relating placer gold grain morphology to the distance it has been alluvially transported. This model was developed with regard to geology and gold composition and is significantly superior to previous models. A new method using laser ablation - inductively coupled plasma - mass spectroscopy (LA-ICP-MS) has been developed to examine minor and trace element composition of placer gold. This new method allows for compositional fingerprints to be defined, and spatial variations in trace and minor elements to be measured within individual grains. Placer gold crystallinity has been observed, however remains poorly examined. We have utilized X-ray diffraction to study the internal crystallographic texture of placer gold, and confirm that several other methods previously used for this purpose do probe internal crystallinity. These new methods have significantly broadened the range of techniques available to investigate placer gold. Examination of the results from these methods has yielded new insights into the potential genesis of gold deposits in the Klondike, the nature of gold crystallinity, and the changes in morphology that occur during alluvial transport. These early studies also indicate that there is still significant work to be done, and that these new methods have significant potential in the study of placer gold.

description: We present a detailed theory for finite-frequency conductivities Re$[σ_{αβ}(ω)]$ of quantum Hall stripes, which form at Landau level $N\geq 2$ close to half filling, in the presence of weak Gaussian disorder. We use an effective elastic theory to describe the low-energy dynamics of the stripes with the dynamical matrix being determined through matching the density-density correlation function obtained in the microscopic time-dependent Hartree-Fock approximation. We then apply replicas and the Gaussian variational method to deal with the disorder. Within this method, a set of saddle point equations for the retarded self energies are obtained, which are solved numerically to get Re$[σ_{αβ}(ω)]$. We find a quantum depinning transition as $Δν$, the fractional part of the filling factor, approaches a critical value $Δν_c$ from below. For $Δν

description: The yield of charged particles opposite to a $Z$ boson with large transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) is measured in 260 pb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ and 1.7 nb$^{-1}$ of Pb+Pb collision data at 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The $Z$ boson tag is used to select hard-scattered partons with specific kinematics, and to observe how their showers are modified as they propagate through the quark-gluon plasma created in Pb+Pb collisions. Compared with $pp$ collisions, charged-particle yields in Pb+Pb collisions show significant modifications as a function of charged-particle $p_{T}$ in a way that depends on event centrality and $Z$ boson $p_{T}$. The data are compared with a variety of theoretical calculations and provide new information about the medium-induced energy loss of partons in a $p_{T}$ regime difficult to measure through other channels.

description: We consider the question of how many essential Seifert Klein bottles with common boundary slope a knot in S^3 can bound, up to ambient isotopy. We prove that any hyperbolic knot in S^3 bounds at most six Seifert Klein bottles with a given boundary slope. The Seifert Klein bottles in a minimal projection of hyperbolic pretzel knots of length 3 are shown to be unique and pi_1-injective, with surgery along their boundary slope producing irreducible toroidal manifolds. The cable knots which bound essential Seifert Klein bottles are classified; their Seifert Klein bottles are shown to be non-pi_1-injective, and unique in the case of torus knots. For satellite knots we show that, in general, there is no upper bound for the number of distinct Seifert Klein bottles a knot can bound.

description: The ever-increasing demand for high speed and large bandwidth has made photonic systems a leading candidate for the next generation of telecommunication and radar technologies. The photonic platform enables high performance while maintaining a small footprint and provides a natural interface with fiber optics for signal transmission. However, producing sharp, narrow-band filters that are competitive with RF components has remained challenging. In this paper, we demonstrate all-silicon RF-photonic multi-pole filters with $\sim100\times$ higher spectral resolution than previously possible in silicon photonics. This enhanced performance is achieved utilizing engineered Brillouin interactions to access long-lived phonons, greatly extending the available coherence times in silicon. This Brillouin-based optomechanical system enables ultra-narrow (3.5 MHz) multi-pole response that can be tuned over a wide ($\sim10$ GHz) spectral band. We accomplish this in an all-silicon optomechanical waveguide system, using CMOS compatible fabrication techniques. In addition to bringing greatly enhanced performance to silicon photonics, we demonstrate reliability and robustness, necessary to transition silicon-based optomechanical technologies from the scientific bench-top to high-impact field-deployable technologies.

description: In this paper, the problem of finding optimal success probabilities of static linear optics quantum gates is linked to the theory of convex optimization. It is shown that by exploiting this link, upper bounds for the success probability of networks realizing single-mode gates can be derived, which hold in generality for linear optical networks followed by postselection, i.e., for networks of arbitrary size, any number of auxiliary modes, and arbitrary photon numbers. As a corollary, the previously formulated conjecture is proven that the optimal success probability of a postselected non-linear sign shift without feed-forward is 1/4, a gate playing the central role in the scheme of Knill-Laflamme-Milburn for quantum computation with linear optics. The concept of Lagrange duality is shown to be applicable to provide rigorous proofs for such bounds for elementary gates, although the original problem is a difficult non-convex problem in infinitely many objective variables. The versatility of this approach to identify other optimal linear optical schemes is demonstrated.

description: The selection of random subspaces plays a role in quantum information theory analogous to the role of random strings in classical information theory. Recent applications have included protocols achieving the quantum channel capacity and methods for extending superdense coding from bits to qubits. In addition, random subspaces have proved useful for studying the structure of bipartite and multipartite entanglement.

Geochemistry in the hyporheic zone of the lower Fraser River
Creators: name: Roschinski, Tilman Gordon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The geochemistry of the hyporheic zone was investigated to reduction-oxidation (redox) conditions across the hyporheic zone as groundwater and river water mix in the shallow sediments of the lower Fraser River, a large, tidally influenced 9th order river. The site selected for study is located at the trailing edge of a postglacial river delta deposit near Vancouver, British Columbia approximately 30 km upstream from the mouth of the river. Pore water samples were collected with a drive-point profiler while sediment cores were collected with a freeze-shoe corer. Difficulties encountered with the freeze-shoe corer led to the development of a novel tool: a liquid nitrogen-cooled freeze corer capable of sampling undisturbed sediments in a deep river environment. Selective single-step chemical extraction procedures were used to analyze sediment samples for secondary iron mineral precipitates that commonly form in the hyporheic zone where iron-rich anaerobic groundwater mixes with oxygen-rich surface water. Results of sediment analyses show a significant amount of iron in the sediments, but no distinct peak accumulations indicative of secondary iron mineral precipitates and no accumulation of iron oxyhydroxides on the hyporheic zone sediments, suggesting that oxygen does not enter the hyporheic zone in significant concentrations. It is hypothesized that oxidation of dissolved organic carbon and methane could remove oxygen and therefore maintain reduced ferrous iron in solution. X-ray diffraction detected the presence of iron-bearing chlorite and a magnetic separation found concentrations of magnetite. The presence of these minerals is thought to be the cause for the high concentrations of iron in the sediments by chemical extraction. Though no significant amounts of oxygen from river water is thought to enter the hyporheic zone sediments, chloride concentration profiles indicate that riverwater does mix with groundwater in the hyporheic zone. Where the river sediments are silt-dominated, river water appears to penetrate to less than one meter depth, whereas in sand-dominated sediments river water penetrates to at least 1 to 1.5 meters depth.
title: Development and Evaluation of a Hybrid Wind Instrument
Creators: name: Buys, Kurijn
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: A hybrid wind instrument generates self-sustained sounds via a real-time interaction between a computed excitation model (such as the physical model of human lips interacting with a mouthpiece) and a real acoustic resonator. Attempts to produce a hybrid instrument have so far fallen short, in terms of both the accuracy and the variation in the sound produced. The principal reason for the failings of previous hybrid instruments is the actuator which, controlled by the excitation model, introduces a fluctuating component into the air flow injected into the resonator. In the present thesis, the possibility of using a loudspeaker to supply the calculated excitation signal is evaluated; the loudspeaker is placed at the entrance of the resonator (a clarinet-like tube), along with a microphone. This work focusses particularly on two possibilities: using the instrument as a new musical instrument and using it as a tool to carry out wind instrument research. First, a theoretical study facilitates the modelling of the loudspeaker-resonator system and the design of a feedback and feedforward filter to successfully compensate for the presence of the loudspeaker. The prototype is then evaluated using physical models of a single-reed, a lip-reed and a bow-string interaction and using a purely mathematical “polynomial” excitation model. For the design of excitation models, the usefulness of dimensionless and reduced parameter forms is outlined, and a sound prediction theory is presented, enabling the pre-estimation of both amplitude and spectral related features of the self-sustained sounds. The resulting self-sustained sounds are evaluated by a mapping of their sound descriptors to the input parameters of the excitation models, both for sustained and attack sounds. For all excitation models, the sounds produced by the hybrid instrument are shown to match those predicted by simulation. However, the hybrid instrument is more easily destabilised for certain extreme parameter states.

description: We investigate the prospect of detecting the Dark Matter (DM) candidate in the three-loop radiative neutrino mass generation model extended with large electroweak multiplets of the Standard Model (SM) gauge group, at the future imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope known as the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). We find that the addition of such large electroweak multiplets leads to a sizable Sommerfeld enhanced annihilation of the DM with $O(\text{TeV})$ mass, into the SM gauge bosons which results in continuum and line-like spectra of very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays, and therefore becomes observable for the CTA. We determine the viable models by setting the upper limit on the $SU(2)_{L}$ isospin of the multiplets from the partial-wave unitarity constraints and the appearance of low-scale Landau pole in the gauge coupling. Afterwards, by considering the continuum VHE gamma-rays produced from the DM annihilation at the Galactic center, we probe the parameter space of the model using the sensitivity reach of the CTA.
