description: We present a complete set of one-loop matrix elements relevant for the hadroproduction of heavy quarks in next-to-leading order employing dimensional regularization to isolate ultraviolet and soft divergences. All results of the perturbative calculation are given in detail. These one-loop matrix elements can also be used as input in the determination of the corresponding next-to-leading order cross sections for heavy flavor photoproduction and in photon-photon reactions, as well as for any of the relevant crossed processes. Our results are tested against the results of other related studies in which unpolarized and longitudinally polarized processes were considered.

description: The collective behavior of hadrons and of electromagnetic radiation in heavy-ion collisions has been widely used to study the properties of the the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Indeed this collectivity, as measured by anisotropic flow coefficients, can be used to constrain the transport properties of QGP. The goal of this contribution is to investigate the influence of the specific bulk viscosity ($ζ/s$) on dilepton production, both at Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies. We explore the sensitivity of dileptons to dynamical features that bulk viscosity induces on the evolution of a strongly-interacting medium, and highlight what makes them a valuable probe in the pursuit to also constrain $ζ/s$.

Studies in Stochastic Networks: Efficient Monte-Carlo Methods, Modeling and Asymptotic Analysis

Subjects: subject: Operations research

description: This dissertation contains two parts. The first part develops a series of bias reduction techniques for: point processes on stable unbounded regions, steady-state distribution of infinite server queues, steady-state distribution of multi-server loss queues and loss networks and sample path of stochastic differential equations. These techniques can be applied for efficient performance evaluation and optimization of the corresponding stochastic models. We perform detailed running time analysis under heavy traffic of the perfect sampling algorithms for infinite server queues and multi-server loss queues and prove that the algorithms achieve nearly optimal order of complexity. The second part aims to model and analyze the load-dependent slowdown effect in service systems. One important phenomenon we observe in such systems is bi-stability, where the system alternates randomly between two performance regions. We conduct heavy traffic asymptotic analysis of system dynamics and provide operational solutions to avoid the bad performance region.

description: In his previous paper, the author proposed as a problem a purely inseparable analogue of the Abhyankar conjecture for affine curves in positive characteristic and gave a partial answer to it, which includes a complete answer for finite local nilpotent group schemes. In the present paper, motivated by the Abhyankar conjectures with restricted ramifications due to Harbater and Pop, we study a refined version of the analogous problem, based on a recent work on tamely ramified torsors due to Biswas-Borne, which is formulated in terms of root stacks. We study an embedding problem to conclude that the refined analogue is true in the solvable case.

description: We analyze dynamical properties of a "gap-tent map" - a family of 1D maps with a symmetric gap, which mimics the presence of noise in physical realizations of chaotic systems. We demonstrate that the dependence of the topological entropy on the size of the gap has a structure of the devil's staircase. By integrating over a fractal measure, we obtain analytical, piece-wise differentiable approximations of this dependence. Applying concepts of the kneading theory we find the position and the values of the entropy for all leading entropy plateaus. Similar properties hold also for the dependence of the fractal dimension of the invariant set and the escape rate.

description: We examine localized kinetic terms for gauge fields which can propagate into compact extra dimensions. We find that such terms are generated by radiative corrections in both theories with matter fields confined to branes and in theories imposing orbifold boundary conditions on bulk matter. In both cases, the radiative corrections are logarithmically divergent, indicating that from an effective field theory point of view they cannot be predicted in terms of other parameters, and should be treated as independent leading order parameters of the theory. Specializing to the five dimensional case, we show that these terms may result in gross distortions of the Kaluza-Klein gauge field masses, wave functions, and couplings to brane and bulk matter. The resulting phenomenological implications are discussed.

Static Liquefaction of Nearly Saturated Oil Sand Tailings
Creators: name: Sadrekarimi, Abouzar
name: Zehforoosh, Farshad
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The susceptibility of saturated mine tailings to static liquefaction has detrimental implications to the stability of tailings dams often used to store mine waste tailings. However, a large volume of a tailings dam may not be saturated and the matric suction within the partially-saturated or unsaturated tailings would provide additional strength and safety against static liquefaction. The degree of saturation to reduce the risk of static liquefaction is nevertheless unknown and the possible saturation of the partially-saturated zones of a tailings dam might lead to a potential instability of the dam. This study presents undrained shearing behaviour of oil sand tailings at different saturation ratios (Sr). Specimens with different amounts of water contents were prepared by moist-tamping in a cylindrical mould and subjected to triaxial compression shearing following isotropic consolidation. Sr was determined based on the volume, mass, and water content of each specimen. Water content was further confirmed by the volume of water pumped into or out of the specimen during sample preparation and consolidation. An empirical relationship was found between Skempton’s pore pressure parameter (B) measured during the saturation procedure and Sr for the oil sand tailings of this study. Although saturated tailings exhibited strain-softening and complete liquefaction in undrained shear, nearly-saturated specimens (Sr = 98, 97%) became increasingly more resistant to static liquefaction with reducing Sr, and exhibited dilative behaviour with even a slight reduction in Sr. Further analysis of the experimental results suggested that the effect of reduced saturation on lowering the liquefaction potential was primarily associated with the higher compressibility of the pore fluid.
Detectability of Gravitational Wave from a population of Inspiralling Black Holes in Milky Way Mass Galaxies

description: We estimate the rate of inspiral for a population of stellar mass BHs in the star cluster around the super massive black hole at the center of Milky Way mass galaxies. Our approach is based on an orbit averaged Fokker Planck approach. This is then followed by a post-processing approach, which incorporates the impact of the angular momentum diffusion and the GW dissipation in the evolution of system. We make a sample of 10000 BHs with different initial semi-major and eccentricities with the distribution of $f_c(a)/a$ and $e$, respectively. Where $f_c(a)$ refers to the phase-space distribution function for cth species. Angular momentum diffusion leads to an enhancement in the eccentricity of every system in the above sample and so increases the rate of inspiral. We compute the fraction of time that every system spends in the LISA band with the signal to noise ratio $\rm{SNR} \geq 8$. Every system eventually approaches the loss-cone with a replenishment rate given by the diffusion rate of the cluster, $μ/ \rm{Gyr}^{-1} \lesssim 1 $. This small rate reduces the total rate of the inspiral for individual MW mass galaxies with an estimate $R_{obs} \lesssim 10^{-5} yr^{-1}$. It is expected though that a collection of $N_{gal} \simeq 10^4$ MW mass galaxies lead to an observable GW signal in the LISA band.

description: We simulate the star cluster, made of stars in the main sequence and different black hole (BH) remnants, around SgrA* at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Tracking stellar evolution, we find the BH remnant masses and construct the BH mass function. We sample 4 BH species and consider the impact of the mass-function in the dynamical evolution of system. Starting from an initial 6 dimensional family of parameters and using an MCMC approach, we find the best fits to various parameters of model by directly comparing the results of the simulations after $t = 10.5$ Gyrs with current observations of the stellar surface density, stellar mass profile and the mass of SgrA*. Using these parameters, we study the dynamical evolution of system in detail. We also explore the mass-growth of SgrA* due to tidally disrupted stars and swallowed BHs. We show that the consumed mass is dominated for the BH component with larger initial normalization as given by the BH mass-function. Assuming that about 10% of the tidally disrupted stars contribute in the growth of SgrA* mass, stars make up the second dominant effect in enhancing the mass of SgrA*. We consider the detectability of the GW signal from inspiralling stellar mass BHs around SgrA* with LISA. Computing the fraction of the lifetime of every BH species in the LISA band, with signal to noise ratio $\gtrsim 8$, to their entire lifetime, and rescaling this number with the total number of BHs in the system, we find that the total expected rate of inspirals per Milky-Way sized galaxy per year is $10^{-5}$. Quite interestingly, the rate is dominated for the BH component with larger initial normalization as dictated by the BH mass-function. We interpret it as the second signature of the BH mass-function.

A discrete density matrix theory for atoms in strong magnetic fields

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper concerns the asymptotic ground state properties of heavy atoms in strong, homogeneous magnetic fields. In the limit when the nuclear charge Z tends to infinity with the magnetic field B satisfying B >> Z^{4/3} all the electrons are confined to the lowest Landau band. We consider here an energy functional, whose variable is a sequence of one-dimensional density matrices corresponding to different angular momentum functions in the lowest Landau band. We study this functional in detail and derive various interesting properties, which are compared with the density matrix (DM) theory introduced by Lieb, Solovej and Yngvason. In contrast to the DM theory the variable perpendicular to the field is replaced by the discrete angular momentum quantum numbers. Hence we call the new functional a discrete density matrix (DDM) functional. We relate this DDM theory to the lowest Landau band quantum mechanics and show that it reproduces correctly the ground state energy apart from errors due to the indirect part of the Coulomb interaction energy.

description: This research examines an ordered perception rater model, an extension of the equal perception signal detection theory (SDT) latent class rater model. The expectation-maximization algorithm and the Newton-Raphson algorithm are used to estimate parameters. Four simulation studies are conducted to answer three research questions. Simulation studies 1 and 2 fit correct models to the data. Simulation study 1 generates one hundred data sets from the equal perception rater model, both with fully-crossed design and BIB design, and both without and with rater effects, and fits the equal perception model. Parameter recovery is excellent for fully-crossed design and reasonable for BIB design, and all rater effects are detected. Simulation study 2 generates one hundred simulated data sets from the ordered perception model, both with fully-crossed design and BIB design, and both without and with rater effects, and fits the ordered perception rater model. Although parameter recovery is biased for some parameters in the BIB design, all rater effects are recovered. Simulation studies 3 and 4 fit wrong models to the data. Simulation study 3 fits equal perception models to the fully-crossed and BIB ordered perception data sets generated in simulation study 2. All rater effects are revealed, although rater effects are distorted to some extent in the BIB design. Simulation study 4 fits ordered perception models to the fully-crossed and BIB equal perception data sets generated in study 1. All rater effects are recovered. Using essay scores from a large-scale language test, an empirical study is conducted. Both the equal and the ordered perception models are fitted. Information criteria favor the equal perception model.

description: This thesis describes several molecular dynamics studies of polymers, proteins, and active colloids. These diverse systems fall under the purview of soft matter physics and in Part I, I explain what is soft matter and describe some of its essential features.
      In Part II, I introduce some basic polymer physics and show how confined polymers can be described using blob theory. I also discuss how phase separation of polymer mixtures can occur. These concepts are applied to systems of mixed polymer brushes on spheroids, objects that have surfaces with non-uniform curvature. I show how the interplay of phase separation and surface curvature give rise to striped patterns, and how an extension of blob theory can give analytical expressions for the free energy. Finally, I show how phase separation of miscible polymers can occur, driven solely by surface curvature.
      In Part III, I present an overview of self-assembly and describe how active, or self-propelled colloids can be used to assemble new materials. I show how two large colloids immersed in a bath of smaller active colloids exhibit an effective short-ranged repulsion and long-ranged attraction, which stands in contrast to the standard short-ranged depletion attraction. I also explore how self-propulsion changes clustering by focusing on a system with short-ranged attractive and long-ranged repulsive particles, which under equilibrium, exhibit finite-sized clusters. I show that for certain parameters, spheres can form a fluid of living crystals, and dumbbells can form a crystal of rotors.
      In Part IV, I give a brief introduction to protein folding and describe how molecular chaperones combat misfolding in the human body. Then, taking inspiration from the chaperones, I show that a polymer-grafted “soft” nanopore can be used to unfold misfolded proteins and destroy undesired aggregates. I also show preliminary results for a hydrophobic “smart” nanopore that can selectively capture and  unfold misfolded proteins.

Allosteric regulation

description: In this thesis, I focus on studies of the mechanism of inactivation in KcsA. Allosteric coupling between the pH gate and the selectivity filter in the protein is hypothesized to be the cause of inactivation. Allosteric coupling refers to changes at one site of a protein due to perturbations at a remote site. In chapter 3, I measured the potassium affinities at the selectivity filter at neutral and low pH, which corresponds to the closed and open conformation at the pH gate. The results show a three order of magnitude shift in the potassium affinity. This is direct evidence that the pH gate and the selectivity filter are coupled, in support of the activation-coupled inactivation hypothesis. The allosteric coupling factor, defined as the ratio of the affinities, can be used as a benchmark to study other factors in the allosteric process, such as the membrane and specific residues. Because of the potential deleterious effect of the acidic pH on the protein and membrane, we studied a mutant E118A&H25R, in which the pH gate is mutated to be open. Thus we were able to measure the K+ affinity change in the open and closed conformation at the pH gate at neutral pH. The results confirmed that the opening of the pH gate results in an energetic stabilization of the collapsed (K+-unbound) state, and shifts the K+ affinity towards looser binding. In chapter 4, I tested the important role of residue F103 in mediating allosteric coupling, as suggested by electrophysiology and crystallography studies. I mutated this residue and measured the allosteric coupling factor on the mutant. The affinity at low pH is much tighter than wild-type and the coupling factor is significantly reduced.  From the spectra, I observe local structural changes on I100 and T74 as a result of F103A mutation, implying the interaction among F103, I100 and T74 to mediate the allosteric coupling. F103 is distant from the pH gate and the selectivity filter; its effect on the coupling and inactivation behaviors confirms that inactivation involves coupling between the pH gate and the selectivity filter. In chapter 5, I developed a method to probe those allosteric participants, such as F103 in KcsA by NMR measurements. I tested this method on KcsA, dissecting KcsA into various functional compartments. Various allosteric participants T75Cg T74Cg I100 were identified. The importance of residue T74 for the coupling was confirmed by electrophysiology and NMR thermodynamics characterization. In chapter 6, we applied SSNMR to probe the structural and magnetic properties of superatom clusters.

Cadences (Music)

description: This dissertation traces the development of the concept of the cadence in the history of music theory.  It proposes a division of the history of cadential theorizing into three periods, and elucidates these periods with four studies of particularly significant doctrines of musical closure.  The first of these periods is the pre-history of the cadence, which lasted from the dawn of medieval music theory through the fifteenth century.  During this time theorists such as John of Affligem (ca. 1100), whose writings are the subject of the first study, developed an analogy between music and the classical doctrine of punctuation to begin to describe how pieces and their constituent parts can conclude.  The second period begins at the turn of the sixteenth century, with the innovative theory expounded by the authors of the Cologne school, which forms the subject of the second study.  These authors identified the phenomenon of musical closure as an independent concept worthy of theoretical investigation, and established the first robustly polyphonic cadential doctrine to account for it.  For the following three centuries theorists frequently made new contributions to the theorizing of the cadence in their writings, as exemplified by the remarkable taxonomy of cadences in the work of Johann Wolfgang Caspar Printz (1641-1717), the subject of the third study.  By the early nineteenth century, however, cadential theorizing had largely ossified.  Instead, authors such as A. B. Marx (1795-1866), on whose writings the fourth study focuses, only drew upon the concept of the cadence as was necessary in their treatments of newly emerging theoretical concerns, especially musical form.
      In order to elucidate and corroborate this historical framework, the dissertation’s chapters undertake close readings of the doctrines of musical closure put forth by John of Affligem, the Cologne school, Printz, and Marx.  The theoretical contributions contained in these sources are interpreted and contextualized in light of the non-musical discourses upon which they draw, and through interrogation of the relationship between the cadential ideas they espouse and contemporaneous musical practice.  In doing so, the dissertation reveals discontinuities in the concepts and functions of cadential doctrines in historical music theories, and provides new possibilities for understanding and experiencing musical structure.

description: An open question of fundamental importance in quantum thermodynamics is how to describe the statistics of work for initial state with quantum coherence. In this paper, work statistics is considered from a fully new perspective of "wave-particle" duality. Based on the generalized quantum work measurement, predictability of energy levels $\mathcal{D}_W$ and effectiveness of coherence $\mathcal{V}_W$ are defined, and they obey inequality $\mathcal{D}_W^2+\mathcal{V}_W^2\leq1$, which is the fundamental tradeoff relations between the contributions of population and coherence to quantum work distribution. As an application, we consider a driven two-level system and discuss the condition of the bound of above tradeoff relation. These results shed light on the effects of quantum coherence in quantum thermodynamics.

description: A modified criterion of the SM perturbative consistency is proposed. It is based on the analytic properties of the two-loop SM running couplings. Under the criterion adopted, the Higgs mass up to 380 GeV might not give rise to the strong coupling prior to the Planck scale. This means that the light Higgs boson is possibly preferred for reasons other than the SM peturbative consistency, i.e. for reasons beyond the SM.

description: We propose a conjecture for the exact expression of the dynamical zeta function for a family of birational transformations of two variables, depending on two parameters. This conjectured function is a simple rational expression with integer coefficients. This yields an algebraic value for the topological entropy. Furthermore the generating function for the Arnold complexity is also conjectured to be a rational expression with integer coefficients with the same singularities as for the dynamical zeta function. This leads, at least in this example, to an equality between the Arnold complexity and the exponential of the topological entropy. We also give a semi-numerical method to effectively compute the Arnold complexity.

description: We describe an approximation to the widely-used Poisson-likelihood chi-square using a linear combination of Neyman's and Pearson's chi-squares, namely "combined Neyman-Pearson chi-square" ($χ^2_{\mathrm{CNP}}$). Through analytical derivations and toy model simulations, we show that $χ^2_\mathrm{CNP}$ leads to a significantly smaller bias on the best-fit model parameters compared to those using either Neyman's or Pearson's chi-square. When the computational cost of using the Poisson-likelihood chi-square is high, $χ^2_\mathrm{CNP}$ provides a good alternative given its natural connection to the covariance matrix formalism.

A theory of quaternionic algebra, with applications to hypercomplex geometry

Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)

description: In this paper we introduce a new algebraic device, which enables us to treat the quaternions as though they were a commutative field. This is of interest both for its own sake, and because it can be applied to develop an "algebraic geometry" of noncompact hypercomplex manifolds. The basic building blocks of the theory are AH modules, which should be thought of "vector spaces" over the quaternions. An AH-module is a left module over the quaternions H, together with a real vector subspace. There are natural concepts of linear map and tensor product of AH-modules, which have many of the properties of linear maps and tensor products of vector spaces. However, the definition of tensor product of AH-modules is strange and has some unexpected properties. Let M be a hypercomplex manifold. Then there is a natural class of H-valued "q-holomorphic functions" on M, satisfying a quaternionic analogue of the Cauchy-Riemann equations, which are analogues of holomorphic functions on complex manifolds. The vector space of q-holomorphic functions A on M is an AH-module. Now some pairs of q-holomorphic functions can be multiplied together to get another q-holomorphic function, but other pairs cannot. So A has a kind of partial algebra structure. It turns out that this structure can be very neatly described using the quaternionic tensor product and AH-morphisms, and that A has the structure of an "H-algebra", a quaternionic analogue of commutative algebra.

Developing Recovery Plans for Catastrophic Tailings Dam Failure Events

description: A Recovery Plan is a practical and necessary document that tailings storage facility (TSF) owners need to develop, implement, train on, and test via desktop exercises. Such a plan becomes applicable following a tailings dam catastrophic failure. Lessons learned from the recovery efforts after several historic TSF failures that took place over the last 10 years have highlighted the needs and the obligations of TSF owners to act quickly and swiftly, should such a catastrophic event take place. Having a plan in place on “who’s supposed to do what” in a crisis context is critical to improve response time, be effective in actions, mitigate human and environmental impacts, and in some cases can potentially save lives. This paper outlines core elements and associated details of a Recovery Plan for TSF owners to develop in case of catastrophic TSF failure, and highlights necessary activities and communication protocols to be included. Even though such events are extremely rare, the Recovery Plan framework as presented herein is based on an industry-wide recognition that successful recovery begins before a disaster ever occurs. Preplanning, training, and testing can help to produce more effective, sustainable, and resilient recovery capabilities that can assist communities associated with mining operations. Through the development of a recovery plan, partnerships with communities, first responders, government organizations, private entities, and specialized recovery contractors are established well before an event takes place. This paper presents a novel approach for the mining industry, drawing on the experience gained in the industrial water management and water resources industries. Several case studies are discussed and specialized guidance on international, country, and state-level emergency planning and recovery are referenced. An approach to adapt and apply these lessons to the mining industry is presented here.

description: We introduce a Wilson line distribution function bar{W}_tau(v) to study gluon saturation at small Feynman x_F, or large tau=ln(1/x_F). This new distribution can be obtained from the distribution W_tau(alpha) of the Color Glass Condensate model and the JIMWLK renormalization group equation. bar{W}_tau(v) is physically more relevant, and mathematically simpler to deal with because of unitarity of the Wilson line v. A JIMWLK equation is derived for bar{W}_tau(v); its properties are studied. These properties are used to complete Mueller's derivation of the JIMWLK equation, though for bar{W}_tau(v) and not W_tau(alpha). They are used to derive a generalized Balitsky-Kovchegov equation for higher multipole amplitudes. They are also used to compute the unintegrated gluon distribution at x_F=0, yielding a completely flat spectrum in transverse momentum squared k^2, with a known height. This is similar but not identical to the mean field result at small k^2.

description: In the current mobile app development, novel and emerging DevOps practices (e.g., Continuous Delivery, Integration, and user feedback analysis) and tools are becoming more widespread. For instance, the integration of user feedback (provided in the form of user reviews) in the software release cycle represents a valuable asset for the maintenance and evolution of mobile apps. To fully make use of these assets, it is highly desirable for developers to establish semantic links between the user reviews and the software artefacts to be changed (e.g., source code and documentation), and thus to localize the potential files to change for addressing the user feedback. In this paper, we propose RISING (Review Integration via claSsification, clusterIng, and linkiNG), an automated approach to support the continuous integration of user feedback via classification, clustering, and linking of user reviews. RISING leverages domain-specific constraint information and semi-supervised learning to group user reviews into multiple fine-grained clusters concerning similar users' requests. Then, by combining the textual information from both commit messages and source code, it automatically localizes potential change files to accommodate the users' requests. Our empirical studies demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art baseline work in terms of clustering and localization accuracy, and thus produces more reliable results.

description: We study complex eigenvalues of large $N\times N$ symmetric random matrices of the form ${\cal H}=\hat{H}-i\hatΓ$, where both $\hat{H}$ and $\hatΓ$ are real symmetric, $\hat{H}$ is random Gaussian and $\hatΓ$ is such that $NTr \hatΓ^2_2\sim Tr \hat{H}_1^2$ when $N\to \infty$. When $\hatΓ\ge 0$ the model can be used to describe the universal statistics of S-matrix poles (resonances) in the complex energy plane. We derive the ensuing distribution of the resonance widths which generalizes the well-known $χ^2$ distribution to the case of overlapping resonances. We also consider a different class of "almost real" matrices when $\hatΓ$ is random and uncorrelated with $\hat{H}$.

description: We study how the cosmological constraints from growth data are improved by including the measurements of bias from Dark Energy Survey (DES). In particular, we utilize the biasing properties of the DES Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) and the growth data provided by the various galaxy surveys in order to constrain the growth index ($γ$) of the linear matter perturbations. Considering a constant growth index we can put tight constraints, up to $\sim 10\%$ accuracy, on $γ$. Specifically, using the priors of the Dark Energy Survey and implementing a joint likelihood procedure between theoretical expectations and data we find that the best fit value is in between $γ=0.64\pm 0.075$ and $0.65\pm 0.063$. On the other hand utilizing the Planck priors we obtain $γ=0.680\pm 0.089$ and $0.690\pm 0.071$. This shows a small but non-zero deviation from General Relativity ($γ_{\rm GR}\approx 6/11$), nevertheless the confidence level is in the range $\sim 1.3-2σ$. Moreover, we find that the estimated mass of the dark-matter halo in which LRGs survive lies in the interval $\sim 6.2 \times 10^{12} h^{-1} M_{\odot}$ and $1.2 \times 10^{13} h^{-1} M_{\odot}$, for the different bias models. Finally, allowing $γ$ to evolve with redshift [Taylor expansion: $γ(z)=γ_{0}+γ_{1}z/(1+z)$] we find that the $(γ_{0},γ_{1})$ parameter solution space accommodates the GR prediction at $\sim 1.7-2.9σ$ levels.
