description: A generalized channel is a completely positive map that preserves trace on a given subspace. We find conditions under which a generalized channel with respect to a positively generated subspace J is an extreme point in the set of all such generalized channels. As a special case, this yields extremality conditions for quantum protocols. In particular, we obtain new extremality conditions for quantum 1-testers with 2 outcomes, which correspond to yes/no measurements on the set of quantum channels.

description: Human intention-based systems enable robots to perceive and interpret user actions to interact with humans and adapt to their behavior proactively. Therefore, intention prediction is pivotal in creating a natural interaction with social robots in human-designed environments. In this paper, we examine using Large Language Models (LLMs) to infer human intention in a collaborative object categorization task with a physical robot. We propose a novel multimodal approach that integrates user non-verbal cues, like hand gestures, body poses, and facial expressions, with environment states and user verbal cues to predict user intentions in a hierarchical architecture. Our evaluation of five LLMs shows the potential for reasoning about verbal and non-verbal user cues, leveraging their context-understanding and real-world knowledge to support intention prediction while collaborating on a task with a social robot.

description: We present relativistic coupled-cluster (CC) calculations of energies, magnetic-dipole hyperfine constants, and electric-dipole transition amplitudes for low-lying states of atomic boron. The trivalent boron atom is computationally treated as a monovalent system. We explore performance of the CC method at various approximations. Our most complete treatment involves singles, doubles and the leading valence triples. The calculations are done using several approximations in the coupled-cluster (CC) method. The results are within 0.2-0.4% of the energy benchmarks. The hyperfine constants are reproduced with 1-2% accuracy.

description: We present measurements of the specific heat, magnetization, magnetocaloric effect and magnetic neutron diffraction carried out on single crystals of antiferromagnetic Yb$_{3}$Pt$_{4}$, where highly localized Yb moments order at $T_{\rm N}=2.4$ K in zero field. The antiferromagnetic order was suppressed to $T_{\rm N}\rightarrow 0$ by applying a field of 1.85 T in the $ab$ plane. Magnetocaloric effect measurements show that the antiferromagnetic phase transition is always continuous for $T_{\rm N}>0$, although a pronounced step in the magnetization is observed at the critical field in both neutron diffraction and magnetization measurements. These steps sharpen with decreasing temperature, but the related divergences in the magnetic susceptibility are cut off at the lowest temperatures, where the phase line itself becomes vertical in the field-temperature plane. As $T_{\rm N}\rightarrow0$, the antiferromagnetic transition is increasingly influenced by a quantum critical endpoint, where $T_{\rm N}$ ultimately vanishes in a first order phase transition.

Perfectionistic standards for academic achievement in a South Asian-Canadian post-secondary population and their association with anxiety and depression
Creators: name: Datta, Neera Kumari
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 84-101
description: The purpose of the present study was to examine perfectionistic standards for academic achievement in a South Asian-Canadian post-secondary population and their association with anxiety and depression. A sample of 50 South Asian-Canadian students (26 females and 24 males) from the University of Calgary, with a mean age of 20.74 years, participated in the study. The Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS), the Beck Depression Inventory, Second Edition (BDI-II), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and a demographic questionnaire were administered. Overall, 26% of the sample reported mild to severe depression and 38% of the sample reported mild to severe anxiety. Significant correlations were obtained between socially prescribed perfectionism and depression for the total sample, females, and males. Only socially prescribed perfectionism contributed significantly to the prediction of depression scores. Implications for counselling using a multicultural approach are presented.

description: The low-level RF system (LLRF) generates the drive sent to the high-power equipment. In synchrotrons, it uses signals from beam pick-ups (radial and longitudinal) to minimize the beam losses and provide a beam with reproducible parameters (intensity, bunch length, average momentum and momentum spread) for either the next accelerator or the physicists. This presentation is the first of three: it considers synchrotrons in the lowintensity regime where the voltage in the RF cavity is not influenced by the beam. As the author is in charge of the LHC LLRF and currently commissioning it, much material is particularly relevant to hadron machines. A section is concerned with radiation damping in lepton machines.

Methodology Update for Estimating Volume to Service Flow Ratio
Creators: name: Chen, Mei
name: Zhang, Xu
Publisher: name: Kentucky Transportation Center, University of Kentucky
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Transportation engineering

description: Volume/service flow ratio (VSF) is calculated by the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) software as an indicator of peak hour congestion. It is an essential input to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s (KYTC) key planning applications, such as highway adequacy rating. After the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) reassessed the HPMS, the standalone HPMS software was no longer supported. This conclusion was based on the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM2000). As a result, the peak capacity and VSF estimates based on the submittal file are no longer available to KYTC. The calculation of VSF ratios requires AADT, K factor, directional factor, and peak capacity as inputs. Previously, peak capacity was calculated by the HPMS software. The calculation method had limitations; it did not take into consideration certain information that may affect the VSF, such as the availability of a truck-climbing lane. Researchers in this study developed a Microsoft Access-based tool for KYTC that estimated peak capacity and VSF. They adapted the approach to ensure compliance with HCM2010. The tool required pre-processing the HIS extract to eliminate empty cells by either excluding segments with missing data or by imputing the values of the missing item(s). Often, a short segment was misclassified as a multilane highway or an urban two-lane or three-lane facility. Analyses indicated that VSF can provide a modest amount of information on a segment’s level of traffic congestion. However, it does not reflect variations in travel time (or speed), which may greatly contribute to user experience on the highway. A post-processing step may also be needed to mitigate the impact of short segments in the input data. The future of VSF as the sole measure of congestion performance should be evaluated.

The Fate of Stellar Mass Loss in Central Cluster Galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: Star formation within the central galaxies of galaxy clusters is often interpreted as being fueled by cooling of the hot intracluster medium. However, the star-forming gas is dusty, and Spitzer spectra show that the dust properties are similar to those in more normal star-forming environments, in which the dust has come from the winds of dying stars. Here we consider whether the primary source of the star-forming gas in central cluster galaxies could be normal stellar mass loss. We show that the overall stellar mass-loss rate in a large central galaxy (~4-8 solar masses per year) is at least as large as the observed star-formation rates in all but the most extreme cases and must be included in any assessment of the gas-mass budget of a central cluster galaxy. We also present arguments suggesting that the gas shed by stars in galaxy clusters with high core pressures and short central cooling times may remain cool and distinct from its hot surroundings, thereby preserving the dust within it.

description: The light curves of variable stars are commonly described using simple trigonometric models, that make use of the assumption that the model parameters are constant in time. This assumption, however, is often violated, and consequently, time series models with components that vary slowly in time are of great interest. In this paper we introduce a class of data analysis and visualization methods which can be applied in many different contexts of variable star research, for example spotted stars, variables showing the Blazhko effect, and the spin-down of rapid rotators. The methods proposed are of explorative type, and can be of significant aid when performing a more thorough data analysis and interpretation with a more conventional method.Our methods are based on a straightforward decomposition of the input time series into a fast "clocking" periodicity and smooth modulating curves. The fast frequency, referred to as the carrier frequency, can be obtained from earlier observations (for instance in the case of photometric data the period can be obtained from independently measured radial velocities), postulated using some simple physical principles (Keplerian rotation laws in accretion disks), or estimated from the data as a certain mean frequency. The smooth modulating curves are described by trigonometric polynomials or splines. The data approximation procedures are based on standard computational packages implementing simple or constrained least-squares fit-type algorithms.

A genuinely human existence: an historical investigation into the conflicted life of Bishop Stephen Neill up to the termination of his bishopric (1945)
Creators: name: Daughrity, Dyron B.
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 361-379
description: This thesis focuses on bishop and scholar Stephen Neill (1900-1984), one of the most important figures on the world Christian scene during the twentieth century. The present work explores the first half of Neill's life, using Stephen Neill as a case study to explore larger issues. Neill's stellar student career in England and his turbulent tenure in south India as an Anglican missionary provide a touchstone for investigating his times. Neill's was a remarkable life, useful for exploring the larger contexts ofwhich he was a part. The thesis for the present work is as follows: "Neill's was a conflicted life, marked by a conflicted childhood and youth, a conflicted faith, a conflicted south Indian diocese, and conflicted times." While Stephen Neill's intellectual gifts were obvious to all, affording him many opportunities, his life was rife with struggles, conflict, and discord. The struggles were obvious in the various ruptures that riddled the first half of his life. The most obvious examples of this were his falling-out with Amy Carmichael at Dohnavur, India, in 1924-25, and then later the loss of his bishopric in Tinnevelly, India, in 1944-45. Neill's conflict was not always with other people; it was just as often a personal struggle. Neill was never satisfied; he was constantly trying to improve himself as well as others. When in power, he could be authoritarian, dictatorial, and exacting. These traits often led him into places of leadership, but they also led to discord. While he certainly had the ingenuity and the tools to succeed at whatever he did, dissonance was always present. Perhaps this dissonance is what motivated one to characterize Neill's life as "a story of contrasts" and to describe Neill as a "much tempted, brilliant, enigmatic man.”1. 1. E. M.

description: We describe the design of micropatterned surfaces for single cell studies, based on thermoresponsive polymer brushes. We show that brushes made of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted at high surface density display excellent protein and cell anti-adhesive properties. Such brushes are readily patterned at the micron scale via deep UV photolithography. A proper choice of the adhesive pattern shapes, combined with the temperature-dependent swelling properties of PNIPAM, allow us to use the polymer brush as a microactuator which induces cell detachment when the temperature is reduced below 32degC.
Semi-automatic registration of multi-source satellite imagery with varying geometric resolutions
Creators: name: Al-Ruzouq, Rami
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 129-135
description: Image registration concerns the problem of how to combine data and information from multiple sensors in order to achieve improved accuracy and better inferences about the environment than could be attained through the use of a single sensor. Registration of imagery from multiple sources is essential for a variety of applications in remote sensing, medical diagnosis, computer vision, and pattern recognition. In general, an image registration methodology must deal with four issues. First, a decision has to be made regarding the choice of primitives for the registration procedure. The second issue concerns establishing the registration transformation function that mathematically relates images to be registered. Then, a similarity measure should be devised to ensure the correspondence of conjugate primitives. Finally, a matching strategy has to be designed and implemented as a controlling framework that utilizes the primitives, the similarity measure, and the transformation function to solve the registration problem. The Modified Iterated Hough Transform (MIHT) is used as the matching strategy for automatically deriving an estimate of the parameters involved in the transformation function as well as the correspondence between conjugate primitives. The MIHT procedure follows an optimal sequence for parameter estimation. This sequence takes into account the contribution of linear features with different orientations at various locations within the imagery towards the estimation of the transformation parameters in question. Accurate co-registration of multi-sensor datasets is captured at different times is a prerequisite step for a reliable change detection procedure. Once the registration problem has been solved, the suggested methodology proceeds by detecting changes between the registered images. Derived edges from the registered images are used as the basis for change detection. Edges are utilized because they are invariant regardless of possible radiometric differences between the images in question. Experimental results using real data proved the feasibility and robustness of the suggested approach.

description: The Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) experiment provides precise observations of the lunar orbit that contribute to a wide range of science investigations. In particular, time series of highly accurate measurements of the distance between the Earth and Moon provide unique information that determine whether, in accordance with the Equivalence Principle (EP), both of these celestial bodies are falling towards the Sun at the same rate, despite their different masses, compositions, and gravitational self-energies. Analyses of precise laser ranges to the Moon continue to provide increasingly stringent limits on any violation of the EP. Current LLR solutions give (-0.8 +/- 1.3) x 10^{-13} for any possible inequality in the ratios of the gravitational and inertial masses for the Earth and Moon, (m_G/m_I)_E - (m_G/m_I)_M. Such an accurate result allows other tests of gravitational theories. Focusing on the tests of the EP, we discuss the existing data and data analysis techniques. The robustness of the LLR solutions is demonstrated with several different approaches to solutions. Additional high accuracy ranges and improvements in the LLR data analysis model will further advance the research of relativistic gravity in the solar system, and will continue to provide highly accurate tests of the Equivalence Principle.

description: We use computational simulations to compare the impact response of different football and U.S. Army helmet pad materials. We conduct experiments to characterize the material response of different helmet pads. We simulate experimental helmet impact tests performed by the U.S. Army to validate our methods. We then simulate a cylindrical impactor striking different pads. The acceleration history of the impactor is used to calculate the Head Injury Criterion for each pad. We conduct sensitivity studies exploring the effects of pad composition, geometry, and material stiffness. We find that: (1) The football pad materials do not outperform the currently used military pad material in militarily-relevant impact scenarios; (2) Optimal material properties for a pad depend on impact energy; and (3) Thicker pads perform better at all velocities. Our analysis suggests that by using larger helmet shells with correspondingly thicker pads, impact-induced traumatic brain injury may be significantly reduced.

description: One of the biggest challenges for implementing quantum devices is the requirement to perform accurate quantum gates. The destructive effects of interactions with the environment present some of the most difficult obstacles that must be overcome for precise quantum control. In this work we implement a proof of principle experiment of quantum gates protected against a fluctuating environment using dynamical decoupling techniques. We show that decoherence can be reduced during the application of quantum gates. High fidelity quantum gates can be achieved even if the gate time exceeds the decoherence time by one order of magnitude.
Sunnyside cohousing community: a model for developmental living

Publisher: name: Environmental Design
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 129-131
description: This theoretical project aims to design a cohousing community for single parent families within an existing building in Calgary, Alberta. The design's objectives are to enhance individual, social and environmental awareness through its programmatic and spatial interconnectedness. Relationships between users, facility and the surrounding community were explored qualitatively through a series of creative abstract reinterpretations. The conceptual relationships that emerged in this process exist on a social and environmental level and become a template applicable to a number of design solutions. This ideas were applied to the housing environment of single parent families in Calgary Alberta. Through learning about the developmental phases of children and the needs of single parent families, the importance of enriching environments for these users was understood and further explored. Utilizing the social structure of cohousing facilities in combination with alternative education techniques, varied interactions were established that could exist between cohousing members, as well as that within the surrounding community. "Key Words" Cohousing communities, single parent families, developmental phases of children, alternative education, programmatic and spatial interconnectedness, social networks, merging new and existing architecture and design process.
Constitutional change in the post-Charlottetown decade: who won? who lost?
Creators: name: De Groot, David Alexander
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 127-136
description: Since the failure of the Charlottetown Accord, there is a widely accepted assumption that constitutional politics has ended. However, given the intensity of constitutional pressures preceding the Charlottetown Accord, it is unlikely that the actors involved would give up their constitutional ambitions. A more reasonable plausible is that these groups would seek out alternative forums to provide them with similar constitutional resources. As such, while macro-constitutional politics (formal amendments) was abandoned, through the processes of micro-constitutional politics Gudicial litigation) and quiet-constitutional politics (federal-provincial agreements and political conventions), the constitutional landscape of Canada has experienced widespread change. These changes are consistent with demands articulated by constitutional actors in the Charlottetown Accord. The post-Charlottetown decade, therefore, is more accurately characterized as a decade of alternative constitutional politics, rather than a decade without constitutional politics.

description: Roadway departures are the leading cause of roadside fatalities. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has undertaken a number of roadside safety measures to reduce roadway departures. Specifically, KYTC has installed several low-cost, systemic roadway safety treatments to Kentucky’s roadways in recent years. These treatments include cable barriers, high friction surface treatments, rumble stripes, and Safety Edges. KYTC has installed approximately 44 cable barrier systems over 265 miles of roadway,112 HFST applications over 20 miles of roadway, 750 rumble stripe installations over 2,500 miles of roadway, and 147 Safety Edge treatments on 580 miles of roadway. The project team developed a complete inventory for safety measure installations, including their locations and select characteristics. This information was collected through interviews, KYTC databases, KYTC contract proposals, KTC studies, and onsite assessments. These data served as inputs into KYTC’s statewide highway model. ArcMap was used to reference locations of the inventoried safety treatments. All safety measure installations were compiled into a comprehensive Excel database. The database is a tool that will allow policy makers and transportation agencies to evaluate the effectiveness, cost, and benefits of roadway safety treatments.

description: We introduce a many-body state termed superpolarized electron-hole liquid to explain the multiferroic properties observed in a recent experiment on rhombohedral pentalayer graphene by Han et al. [Nature 623, 41-47, 2023] . Superpolarization refers to a state where electrons and holes are fully polarized in opposite directions within the extended spin-valley space, resulting in a polarization per charge that exceeds the saturated value of one. This state exhibits multiferroic order, characterized by spontaneous spin, layer, and valley polarization. We demonstrate the independent control of valley polarization and orbital magnetization in this state through the application of electric-displacement field and weak magnetic fields. The large magnetoelectric effect observed in the experiment is attributed to the substantial Berry curvature concentrated near the band edge. The concept of superpolarization can be probed experimentally through magnetic oscillation and local current distribution measurements to determine the area of the Fermi surfaces and their magnetic moments.

description: Post-common-envelope binaries (PCEBs) consisting of a white dwarf (WD) and a main-sequence secondary star are ideal systems to constrain models of common-envelope (CE) evolution. Until very recently, observed samples of PCEBs have been too small to fully explore this potential, however the recently identified large and relatively homogenous sample of PCEBs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has significantly changed this situation. We here analyze the orbital period distributions of PCEBs containing He- and C/O-core WDs separately and investigate whether the orbital period of PCEBs is related to the masses of their stellar components. We performed standard statistical tests to compare the orbital period distributions and to determine the confidence levels of possible relations. The orbital periods of PCEBs containing He-core WDs are significantly shorter than those of PCEBs containing C/O-core WDs. While the He-core PCEB orbital period distribution has a median value of Porb ~ 0.28 d, the median orbital period for PCEBs containing C/O-core WDs is Porb ~ 0.57 d. We also find that systems containing more massive secondaries have longer post-CE orbital periods, in contradiction to recent predictions. Our observational results provide new constraints on theories of CE evolution. However we suggest future binary population models to take selection effects into account that still affect the current observed PCEB sample.

description: Sympathetic eruptions on the Sun have been observed for several decades, but the mechanisms by which one eruption can trigger another one remain poorly understood. We present a 3D MHD simulation that suggests two possible magnetic trigger mechanisms for sympathetic eruptions. We consider a configuration that contains two coronal flux ropes located within a pseudo-streamer and one rope located next to it. A sequence of eruptions is initiated by triggering the eruption of the flux rope next to the streamer. The expansion of the rope leads to two consecutive reconnection events, each of which triggers the eruption of a flux rope by removing a sufficient amount of overlying flux. The simulation qualitatively reproduces important aspects of the global sympathetic event on 2010 August 1 and provides a scenario for so-called twin filament eruptions. The suggested mechanisms are applicable also for sympathetic eruptions occurring in other magnetic configurations.

description: The photoresponse of YBa2Cu3O7-d thin film microbridges with thicknesses between 15 and 50 nm was studied in the optical and terahertz frequency range. The voltage transients in response to short radiation pulses were recorded in real time with a resolution of a few tens of picoseconds. The bridges were excited by either femtosecond pulses at a wavelength of 0.8 μm or broadband (0.1 - 1.5 THz) picosecond pulses of coherent synchrotron radiation. The transients in response to optical radiation are qualitatively well explained in the framework of the two-temperature model with a fast component in the picosecond range and a bolometric nanosecond component whose decay time depends on the film thickness. The transients in the THz regime showed no bolometric component and had amplitudes up to three orders of magnitude larger than the two-temperature model predicts. Additionally THz-field dependent transients in the absence of DC bias were observed. We attribute the response in the THz regime to a rearrangement of vortices caused by high-frequency currents.
A Sublinear Variance Bound for Solutions of a Random Hamilton Jacobi Equation

description: We estimate the variance of the value function for a random optimal control problem. The value function is the solution $w^ε$ of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation with random Hamiltonian $H(p,x,ω) = K(p) - V(x/ε,ω)$ in dimension $d \geq 2$. It is known that homogenization occurs as $ε\to 0$, but little is known about the statistical fluctuations of $w^ε$. Our main result shows that the variance of the solution $w^ε$ is bounded by $O(ε/|\log ε|)$. The proof relies on a modified Poincaré inequality of Talagrand.

description: Numerical simulations are essential tools to evaluate the solution of the wave equation in complex settings, such as three-dimensional (3D) domains with heterogeneous properties. However, their application is limited by high computational costs and existing surrogate models lack the flexibility of numerical solvers. This work introduces the Multiple-Input Fourier Neural Operator (MIFNO) to deal with structured 3D fields representing material properties as well as vectors describing the source characteristics. The MIFNO is applied to the problem of elastic wave propagation in the Earth's crust. It is trained on the HEMEW^S-3D database containing 30000 earthquake simulations in different heterogeneous domains with random source positions and orientations. Outputs are time- and space-dependent surface wavefields. The MIFNO predictions are assessed as good to excellent based on Goodness-Of-Fit (GOF) criteria. Wave arrival times and wave fronts' propagation are very accurate since 80% of the predictions have an excellent phase GOF. The fluctuations amplitudes are good for 87% of the predictions. The envelope score is hindered by the small-scale fluctuations that are challenging to capture due to the complex physical phenomena associated with high-frequency features. Nevertheless, the MIFNO can generalize to sources located outside the training domain and it shows good generalization ability to a real complex overthrust geology. When focusing on a region of interest, transfer learning improves the accuracy with limited additional costs, since GOF scores improved by more than 1 GOF unit with only 500 additional specific samples. The MIFNO is the first surrogate model offering the flexibility of an earthquake simulator with varying sources and material properties. Its good accuracy and massive speed-up offer new perspectives to replace numerical simulations in many-query problems.
