description: We study both the "large" and "small" U-duality charge orbits of extremal black holes appearing in D = 5 and D = 4 Maxwell-Einstein supergravity theories with symmetric scalar manifolds. We exploit a formalism based on cubic Jordan algebras and their associated Freudenthal triple systems, in order to derive the minimal charge representatives, their stabilizers and the associated "moduli spaces". After recalling N = 8 maximal supergravity, we consider N = 2 and N = 4 theories coupled to an arbitrary number of vector multiplets, as well as N = 2 magic, STU, ST^2 and T^3 models. While the STU model may be considered as part of the general N = 2 sequence, albeit with an additional triality symmetry, the ST^2 and T^3 models demand a separate treatment, since their representative Jordan algebras are Euclidean or only admit non-zero elements of rank 3, respectively. Finally, we also consider minimally coupled N = 2, matter coupled N = 3, and "pure" N = 5 theories.

(Figs 79–80, 280)
 Dohrniphora castaneicoxa Borgmeier, 1960: 272–273, fig. 21.
Holotype. ♂, BRAZIL: Rio de Janeiro: Rio de Janeiro, 1.viii.1959, T. Borgmeier [LACM ENT 235608] (MZSP; examined).
 Species recognition. This species has been confused with D. fuliginata, which differs by having much darker hind coxal lobe, as well as the group of peglike setae being a regular triangle, rather than an inverted one as in D. castaneicoxa. Furthermore, the line of peglike setae extends farther basally in D. castaneicoxa than in some other species.
Description. Body length: 2.25–2.34 mm. Head: Frons dark brown, second row of setae slightly concave. Flagellomere 1 rounded-oval, light brown. Palpus of normal size, light brown. Thorax: Scutum light brown. Scutellum light brown, with 2 pairs of setae; anterior seta one-half length of posterior seta. Pleuron yellowishbrown, but contrastingly brown dorsally. Mean costal length 0.55 wing length, range 0.53–0.58. Halter yellow. Legs yellowish-brown, except apex of hind femur darker. Forecoxa in lateral view yellow. Foretibia with 4 dorsal setae. Foretarsomeres slender, elongate. Midcoxa brown. Hind coxa yellow. Hind coxal lobe light brown, round. Posterior face of hind femur with basal line and more distal group of peglike setae; group extending dorsally to middle third of hind femur, often broader dorsally forming inverted triangle (Figs 79– 80); more distally with depression that appears clear with light microscopy (Fig. 280). Abdomen: Abdominal tergite 1 brown, tergites 2–6 dark brown with lighter posterior seam. Venter of abdomen yellow, with sparse setae. Male terminalia with epandrium yellowish-brown, hypandrium brown, and cercus yellow.
 Natural history note. While attempting to attract specimens of the ant-parasitizing phorid genus Pseudacteon Coquillett by kicking nest mounds of fire ants (Solenopsis saevissima (F. Smith)), BVB collected the three specimens of D. castaneicoxa listed below. The flies seemed to be attracted to the disturbed nests.

description: We perform a detailed investigation of multiple hard interactions in hadron-hadron collisions. We discuss the space-time, spin and color structure of multiple interactions, classify different contributions according to their power behavior and provide several elements required for establishing all-order factorization. This also allows us to analyze the structure of Sudakov logarithms in double hard scattering. We show how multiparton distributions can be constrained by lattice calculations, by connecting them with generalized parton distributions, and by calculating their behavior at large transverse parton momenta.

description: A model for the simulation of ensembles of laser-driven Rydberg-Rydberg interacting multi-level atoms is discussed. Our hybrid approach combines an exact two-body treatment of nearby atom pairs with an effective approximate treatment for spatially separated pairs. We propose an optimized evolution equation based only on the system steady state, and a time-independent Monte Carlo technique is used to efficiently determine this steady state. The hybrid model predicts features in the pair correlation function arising from multi-atom processes which existing models can only partially reproduce. Our interpretation of these features shows that higher-order correlations are relevant already at low densities. Finally, we analyze the performance of our model in the high-density case.

Investigation of variation of motions between free field and foundation in seismic soil-structure interaction of structures with rigid shallow foundation
Creators: name: Pandey, Bishnu Hari
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI) in buildings during earthquakes is characterized by several aspects including the variation between the free-field and foundation motions. Past procedures for analysing the effect of the foundation on the free-field input motions are all based on the assumptions that the foundation slabs always reduce the motion. Recent guidelines, standard and codes including FEMA-440 and ASCE/SEI41-06 also recognize that foundations with interconnected grade beams or concrete slab will always reduce the free-field motions. It implies that SFSI is beneficial and can be conservatively neglected in regular building design practice. A large number of instrumented buildings that have experienced a numbers of earthquakes in the past provide an opportunity to investigate the SFSI effects and evaluate the methods of estimating the foundation motion based on field data. In this research study, investigation is carried out on the records of past earthquakes from sites of instrumented buildings over a wide range foundation configurations and site conditions in California. Analysis of records among 26 buildings that have shallow rigid foundation shows that foundation motions are reduced in two-third cases and amplified in one-third cases. The estimations of variation of motion by the ASCE procedure are not in good agreement, even for the cases of reduction of foundation-base motion. It was obvious that the amplification of the motion cannot be captured by the procedure. Time history simulations of soil-building system have been carried out for varied parameters in 2D continuum finite element models using computer program ABAQUS. The results from simulations confirm that motion may amplify at the foundation depending on period of the building, soil deposit and the predominant period of input motion. This thesis develops a simple mass–spring–dashpot-based system of soil–foundation–structure interaction, called the 3DOF SFS model, for calculating the foundation-base motion that accounts for dynamic interaction between soil, foundation and building. The 3DOF SFS model was verified for a building-structure system with varied parameters and for different input motions using results from ABAQUS. Both amplification and reduction cases of foundation motion compared with free field were predicted by the model.
Difference operators of Sklyanin and van Diejen type

description: The Sklyanin algebra $S_η$ has a well-known family of infinite-dimensional representations $D(μ)$, $μ\in C^*$, in terms of difference operators with shift $η$ acting on even meromorphic functions. We show that for generic $η$ the coefficients of these operators have solely simple poles, with linear residue relations depending on their locations. More generally, we obtain explicit necessary and sufficient conditions on a difference operator for it to belong to $D(μ)$. By definition, the even part of $D(μ)$ is generated by twofold products of the Sklyanin generators. We prove that any sum of the latter products yields a difference operator of van Diejen type. We also obtain kernel identities for the Sklyanin generators. They give rise to order-reversing involutive automorphisms of $D(μ)$, and are shown to entail previously known kernel identities for the van Diejen operators. Moreover, for special $μ$ they yield novel finite-dimensional representations of $S_η$.

description: We present a new model to describe the galaxy-dark matter connection across cosmic time, which unlike the popular subhalo abundance matching technique is self-consistent in that it takes account of the facts that (i) subhalos are accreted at different times, and (ii) the properties of satellite galaxies may evolve after accretion. Using observations of galaxy stellar mass functions out to $z \sim 4$, the conditional stellar mass function at $z\sim 0.1$ obtained from SDSS galaxy group catalogues, and the two-point correlation function (2PCF) of galaxies at $z \sim 0.1$ as function of stellar mass, we constrain the relation between galaxies and dark matter halos over the entire cosmic history from $z \sim 4$ to the present. This relation is then used to predict the median assembly histories of different stellar mass components within dark matter halos (central galaxies, satellite galaxies, and halo stars). We also make predictions for the 2PCFs of high-$z$ galaxies as function of stellar mass. Our main findings are the following: (i) Our model reasonably fits all data within the observational uncertainties, indicating that the $Λ$CDM concordance cosmology is consistent with a wide variety of data regarding the galaxy population across cosmic time.

A probabilistic inflow forecasting system for operation of hydroelectric reservoirs in complex terrain
Creators: name: Bourdin, Dominique R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation presents a reliable probabilistic forecasting system designed to predict inflows to hydroelectric reservoirs. Forecasts are derived from a Member-to-Member (M2M) ensemble in which an ensemble of distributed hydrologic models is driven by the gridded output of an ensemble of numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. Multiple parameter sets for each hydrologic model are optimized using objective functions that favour different aspects of forecast performance. On each forecast day, initial conditions for each differently-optimized hydrologic model are updated using meteorological observations. Thus, the M2M ensemble explicitly samples inflow forecast uncertainty caused by errors in the hydrologic models, their parameterizations, and in the initial and boundary conditions (i.e., meteorological data) used to drive the model forecasts. Bias is removed from the individual ensemble members using a simple degree-of-mass-balance bias correction scheme. The M2M ensemble is then transformed into a probabilistic inflow forecast by applying appropriate uncertainty models during different seasons of the water year. The uncertainty models apply ensemble model output statistics to correct for deficiencies in M2M spread. Further improvement is found after applying a probability calibration scheme that amounts to a re-labelling of forecast probabilities based on past performance. Each component of the M2M ensemble has an associated cost in terms of time and/or money. The relative value of each ensemble component is assessed by removing it from the ensemble and comparing the economic gains associated with the reduced ensembles to those achieved using the full M2M system. Relative value is computed using a simple (static) cost-loss decision model in which the reservoir operator takes action (lowers the reservoir level) when significant inflows are predicted with probability exceeding some threshold. The probabilistic reservoir inflow forecasting system developed in this dissertation is applied to the Daisy Lake hydroelectric reservoir located in the complex terrain of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. The hydroclimatic regime of the case study watershed is such that flashy fall and winter inflows are driven by Pacific frontal systems, while spring and summer inflows are dominated by snow and glacier melt. Various aspects of ensemble and probabilistic forecast performance are evaluated over a period of three water years.

description: The cross section of single vector leptoquark production in direct lepton-gluon interaction is calculated. In a model independent analysis an effective Lagrangian describing the most general $C$ and $P$ conserving coupling of the leptoquarks to gluons is considered. An analytical expression is derived for the cross section in the case of anomalous vector leptoquark couplings to the gluon field. The cross sections of inclusive production of ($eq$)-, ($μq$)- and ($τq$)-type vector leptoquarks in $ep$ and $pp$ collisions due to direct lepton-gluon interaction are evaluated for $q=u, b, t$. Dependences of the cross sections on the anomalous couplings are investigated. The obtained results can be useful for studies at $ep$ colliders and the LHC.

description: We investigate the range of covering factors (determined from the ratio of IR to UV/optical luminosity) seen in luminous type 1 quasars using a combination of data from the WISE, UKIDSS and SDSS surveys. Accretion disk (UV/optical) and obscuring dust (IR) luminosities are measured via the use of a simple three component SED model. We use these estimates to investigate the distribution of covering factors and its relationship to both accretion luminosity and IR SED shape. The distribution of covering factors (f_C) is observed to be log-normal, with a bias-corrected mean of =-0.41 and standard deviation of 0.2. The fraction of IR luminosity emitted in the near-IR (1--5 micron) is found to be high (~40 per cent), and strongly dependant on covering factor.

description: T cell receptors (TCRs) can recognize diverse lipid and metabolite antigens presented by MHC-like molecules CD1 and MR1, and the molecular basis of many of these interactions has not been determined. Here we applied our protein docking algorithm TCRFlexDock, previously developed to perform docking of TCRs to peptide-MHC (pMHC) molecules, to predict the binding of αβ and γδ TCRs to CD1 and MR1, starting with the structures of the unbound molecules. Evaluating against TCR-CD1d complexes with crystal structures, we achieved near-native structures in the top 20 models for two out of four cases, and an acceptable-rated prediction for a third case. We also predicted the structure of an interaction between a MAIT TCR and MR1-antigen that has not been structurally characterized, yielding a top-ranked model that agreed remarkably with a characterized TCR-MR1-antigen structure that has a nearly identical TCR α chain but a different β chain, highlighting the likely dominance of the conserved α chain in MR1-antigen recognition. Docking performance was improved by re-training our scoring function with a set of TCR-pMHC complexes, and for a case with an outlier binding mode, we found that alternative docking start positions improved predictive accuracy. We then performed unbound docking with two mycolyl-lipid specific TCRs that recognize lipid-bound CD1b, which represent a class of interactions that is not structurally characterized. Highly-ranked models of these complexes showed remarkable agreement between their binding topologies, as expected based on their shared germline sequences, while differences in residue-level interactions with their respective antigens point to possible mechanisms underlying their distinct specificities. Together these results indicate that flexible docking simulations can provide accurate models and atomic-level insights into TCR recognition of MHC-like molecules presenting lipid and other small molecule antigens.

description: We combine a convectively driven dynamo in a spherical shell with a nearly isothermal density-stratified cooling layer that mimics some aspects of a stellar corona to study the emergence and ejections of magnetic field structures. This approach is an extension of earlier models, where forced turbulence simulations were employed to generate magnetic fields. A spherical wedge is used which consists of a convection zone and an extended coronal region to $\approx1.5$ times the radius of the sphere. The wedge contains a quarter of the azimuthal extent of the sphere and $150\degr$ in latitude. The magnetic field is self-consistently generated by the turbulent motions due to convection beneath the surface. Magnetic fields are found to emerge at the surface and are ejected to the coronal part of the domain. These ejections occur at irregular intervals and are weaker than in earlier work. We tentatively associate these events with coronal mass ejections on the Sun, even though our model of the solar atmosphere is rather simplistic.

description: Enhanced food-finding efficiency is an obvious adaptive response to cave environments. Here, we have compared the food-finding abilities of Astyanax surface fish and blind cavefish young larvae in their first month of life, in the dark. Our results show that enhanced prey capture skills of cavefish are already in effect in fry soon after the yolk is depleted and the young larvae must find food for themselves. Moreover, using prey capture competition assays on surface fish fry with lensectomies, we showed that eye-dependent developmental processes are not the main determinant for enhanced prey capture skills. Finally, using F2 hybrid larvae resulting from crosses between surface fish and cavefish, we found that reduced eyes do not confer a selective advantage for prey capture by fry in the dark. We discuss these data with regards to our current developmental and genetic understanding of cavefish morphological and behavioral evolution.

description: This paper concerns the reconstruction of an anisotropic diffusion tensor $γ=(γ_{ij})_{1\leq i,j\leq 2}$ from knowledge of internal functionals of the form $γ\nabla u_i\cdot\nabla u_j$ with $u_i$ for $1\leq i\leq I$ solutions of the elliptic equation $\nabla \cdot γ\nabla u_i=0$ on a two dimensional bounded domain with appropriate boundary conditions. We show that for I=4 and appropriately chosen boundary conditions, $γ$ may uniquely and stably be reconstructed from such internal functionals, which appear in coupled-physics inverse problems involving the ultrasound modulation of electrical or optical coefficients. Explicit reconstruction procedures for the diffusion tensor are presented and implemented numerically.

Designing Imaging Surveys for a Retrospective Relative Photometric Calibration

description: In this paper, we investigate the impact of survey strategy on the performance of self-calibration when the goal is to produce accurate photometric catalogs from wide-field imaging surveys. This self-calibration technique utilizes multiple measurements of sources at different focal-plane positions to constrain instruments' large-scale response (flat-field) from survey science data alone. We create an artificial sky of sources and synthetically observe it under four basic survey strategies, creating an end-to-end simulation of an imaging survey for each. These catalog-level simulations include realistic measurement uncertainties and a complex focal-plane dependence of the instrument response. In the self-calibration step, we simultaneously fit for all the star fluxes and the parameters of a position-dependent flat-field. For realism, we deliberately fit with a wrong noise model and a flat-field functional basis that does not include the model that generated the synthetic data. We demonstrate that with a favorable survey strategy, a complex instrument response can be precisely self-calibrated. We show that returning the same sources to very different focal-plane positions is the key property of any survey strategy designed for accurate retrospective calibration of this type. The results of this work suggest the following advice for those considering the design of large-scale imaging surveys: Do not use a regular, repeated tiling of the sky; instead return the same sources to very different focal-plane positions.
Relativistic freeze out studies and two-particle Correlations
Creators: name: Feld, Steffen
Publisher: name: Universität Bielefeld
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 530

description: In the research field of heavy-ion collisions there are a bunch of interesting questions to be answered. Here we address two of them. The first is about the transition from a hydrodynamical modelling to a particle-based approach. This transition is a crucial element of the description of ultra-relativistic heavy- ion collisions. By employing kinetic theory within polar Milne coordinates and anisotropic hydrodynamical tools, we show that an anisotropic local phase-space distribution of the emitted particles can smooth such a transition. In addition we derive the so called anisotropy parameter from a kinetic description. We discuss how final state observables – within this new freeze out procedure – depend less on system’s quantities at the freeze out surface. Further we present a way how our procedure of the kinetic freeze out can be further improved, via incorporating the effect of interparticle interactions. Therefore we present the arising equations of motion which were obtained by the computation of the various moments. The second question we are addressing is dealing with the investigation of two-particle distributions. We present studies which are essential for investigating the azimuthally dependent two-particle distributions. Therefore we continued the concept of one-particle azimuthally distributions to the case of two-particle observables. Afterward we present a model to incorporate the fluctuations of one-particle distributions, in order to not mix up the effect of one-particle fluctuations and two-particle correlations.
Phase field modelling of grain growth with particle pinning and solute drag
Creators: name: Shahandeh, Sina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Second phase particles and solute atoms have been used as an important constituent in the design of materials and processes due to their ability to restrain the motion of grain boundaries. The drag effect occurs on a scale comparable to the particle diameter and interface thickness. However, to simulate grain growth with numerical efficiency one requires a model that captures the drag pressure on the interfaces but does not resolve the particles or solute segregation spike. In this work, a multi-scale modelling scheme is proposed to simulate grain growth with particle pinning and solute drag. The interaction of a grain boundary with an ensemble of particles is simulated to obtain the pinning pressure. A phase field model is then developed that incorporates the drag pressure in the meso-scale and simulates grain growth. The accuracy of the model is confirmed in comparison with analytical expressions. The application of the model is then presented for grain growth in two- and three-dimensional systems under the influence of particle pinning. Measuring the curvature of the grain boundary network reveals that in the completely pinned structure, the average driving pressure is not equal to but lower than the pinning pressure. The results of the nano-scale simulations for pinning pressure is combined with the results from the meso-scale to produce a limiting grain size that coincides with the experiments. This curvature analysis provides a kinetic model that describes the evolution of the structure more accurately than that of the mean field theories. The proposed phase field formulation is also applied to simulate grain growth in the presence of solute drag. The grain growth kinetics follows a phenomenological relationship that is described using a power law, with a time exponent in the range of 0.35 to 0.50. The deviation from ideal grain growth, associated with a time exponent lower than 0.50, and its correlation with the solute drag parameters is investigated.

description: Communication in the internet today is transient by default. Because of this, whenever an application needs to store data even for a moment, its provider needs to develop an application-specific solution, which is often done using client-server models. This is costly at scale, and generally requires users to concede control over the data they generate to allow application providers to generate revenue from the collected data to finance the operation of these servers. This also leads to a lock-in effect, which is prohibitive for new applications entering a market. To solve these issues, we propose persistent streams, an application-agnostic communication protocol that includes ephemeral and persistent storage and is able to handle both discrete as well as continuous (streaming) data. Including storage into the communication path removes the need for application servers completely. Even though the protocol relies on (cloud) servers as transmission and storage proxies, we expect the emergence of new storage technologies like non-volatile main memory to alleviate some issues this introduces. We also show the general applicability of this solution using different kinds of applications as examples. Overall, persistent streams have the potential to greatly reduce the burdens on application providers while also enabling users to exercise increased control over their data.
