description: The ability to coherently couple arbitrary harmonic oscillators in a fully-controlled way is an important tool to process quantum information. Coupling between quantum harmonic oscillators has previously been demonstrated in several physical systems by use of a two-level system as a mediating element. Direct interaction at the quantum level has only recently been realized by use of resonant coupling between trapped ions. Here we implement a tunable direct coupling between the microwave harmonics of a superconducting resonator by use of parametric frequency conversion. We accomplish this by coupling the mode currents of two harmonics through a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and modulating its flux at the difference (~ 7 GHz) of the harmonic frequencies. We deterministically prepare a single-photon Fock state and coherently manipulate it between multiple modes, effectively controlling it in a superposition of two different "colours". This parametric interaction can be described as a beam-splitter-like operation that couples different frequency modes. As such, it could be used to implement linear optical quantum computing protocols on-chip.

description: We uniformly analyze 136 optically detected PNe and candidates from the GLIMPSE-I survey in order to to develop robust, multi-wavelength, classification criteria to augment existing diagnostics and provide pure PN samples. PNe represent powerful astrophysical probes. They are important dynamical tracers, key sources of ISM chemical enrichment, windows into late stellar evolution, and potent cosmological yardsticks. But their utility depends on separating them unequivocally from the many nebular mimics which can strongly resemble bona fide PNe in traditional optical images and spectra. We merge new PNe from the carefully evaluated, homogeneous MASH-I and MASH-II surveys, which offer a wider evolutionary range of PNe than hitherto available, with previously known PNe classified by SIMBAD. Mid-infrared (MIR) measurements vitally complement optical data because they reveal other physical processes and morphologies via fine-structure lines, molecular bands and dust. MIR colour-colour planes, optical emission line ratios and radio fluxes show the unambiguous classification of PNe to be complex, requiring all available evidence. Statistical trends provide predictive value and we offer quantitative MIR criteria to determine whether an emission nebula is most likely to be a PN or one of the frequent contaminants such as compact HII regions or symbiotic systems. Prerequisites have been optical images and spectra but MIR morphology, colours, environment and a candidate's MIR/radio flux ratio provide a more rigorous classification. Our ultimate goal is to recognize PNe using only MIR and radio characteristics, enabling us to trawl for PNe effectively even in heavily obscured regions of the Galaxy.

description: The Spitzer GLIMPSE and MIPSGAL surveys have revealed a wealth of details of the Galactic plane. We use them to study the energetics and dust properties of M16, one of the best known SFR. We present MIPSGAL observations of M16 at 24 and 70 $μ$m and combine them with previous IR data. The MIR image shows a shell inside the molecular borders of the nebula. The morphologies at 24 and 70 $μ$m are different, and its color ratio is unusually warm. The FIR image resembles the one at 8 $μ$m that enhances the molecular cloud. We measure IR SEDs within the shell and the PDRs. We use the DUSTEM model to fit the SEDs and constrain dust temperature, dust size distribution, and ISRF intensity relative to that provided by the star cluster NGC6611. Within the PDRs, the dust temperature, the dust size distribution, and the ISRF intensity are in agreement with expectations. Within the shell, the dust is hotter and an ISRF larger than that provided by NGC6611 is required. We quantify two solutions. (1) The size distribution of the dust in the shell is not that of interstellar dust. (2) The dust emission arises from a hot plasma where UV and collisions with electrons contribute to the heating. We suggest two interpretations for the shell. (1) The shell matter is supplied by photo-evaporative flows arising from dense gas exposed to ionized radiation. The flows renew the shell matter as it is pushed by the stellar winds. Within this scenario, we conclude that massive SFR such as M16 have a major impact on the carbon dust size distribution. The grinding of the carbon dust could result from shattering in collisions within shocks driven by the interaction between the winds and the shell. (2) We consider a scenario where the shell is a SNR. We would be witnessing a specific time in the evolution of the SNR where the plasma pressure and temperature would be such that the SNR cools through dust emission.

Characterization of the +SSTR and ΔSSTR splice variants of the Cav2.1 P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channel
Creators: name: Waheed, Zeina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Cav2.1 P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels are essential for neurotransmission in many regions of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Alternative splicing generates functional diversity between Cav2.1 splice isoforms and is thought to be a mechanism by which fine-tuning and complexity of Cav2.1-mediated activities occur. The Cav2.1 +SSTR splice variant, located in the S3-S4 linker of domain III, has been identified in rodent brain although its effects on the biophysical and pharmacological properties of Cav2.1 have not been previously studied. Here, by performing splice variant-specific quantitative real-time PCR on selected regions of the rat CNS I demonstrate that +SSTR variant channels are differentially expressed spatially with predominant expression in the brainstem, reticular thalamus and spinal cord. Using whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology performed on transfected HEK 293 cells I have shown that compared to ΔSSTR channels, +SSTR variants exhibit faster activation kinetics and a hyperpolarizing shift in the voltage-dependence of activation and inactivation. Additionally, the +SSTR and ΔSSTR variants respond differently to increasing durations of action potential waveforms (APWs) with the charge transference through +SSTR channels being significantly less sensitive to APW broadening than ΔSSTR channels. Together, these data suggest that the unique biophysical properties of the Cav2.1 splice variants contribute to distinct roles in CNS synaptic physiology by relaying different types of action potential-encoding synaptic information. Lastly, I examined whether the +SSTR variant affected the sensitivity of Cav2.1 to the gating modifier peptide toxin ω-Agatoxin-IVA. Using whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology I found that the effects of ω-Agatoxin-IVA on current block did not significantly differ between the +SSTR and ΔSSTR splice variants suggesting that SSTR insertion does not affect the binding of ω-Agatoxin-IVA to Cav2.1 channels. The differential expression of Cav2.1 splice variants and their unique channel properties provides insight into the mechanisms by which complexity of P/Q-type calcium channel-mediated signaling contributes to CNS physiology.

description: The area of mobile ad hoc networking has received considerable attention of the research community in recent years. These networks have gained immense popularity primarily due to their infrastructure-less mode of operation which makes them a suitable candidate for deployment in emergency scenarios like relief operation, battlefield etc., where either the pre-existing infrastructure is totally damaged or it is not possible to establish a new infrastructure quickly. However, MANETs are constrained due to the limited transmission range of the mobile nodes which reduces the total coverage area. Sometimes the infrastructure-less ad hoc network may be combined with a fixed network to form a hybrid network which can cover a wider area with the advantage of having less fixed infrastructure. In such a combined network, for transferring data, we need base stations which act as gateways between the wired and wireless domains. Due to the hybrid nature of these networks, routing is considered a challenging task. Several routing protocols have been proposed and tested under various traffic conditions. However, the simulations of such routing protocols usually do not consider the hybrid network scenario. In this work we have carried out a systematic performance study of the two prominent routing protocols: Destination Sequenced Distance Vector Routing (DSDV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocols in the hybrid networking environment. We have analyzed the performance differentials on the basis of three metrics - packet delivery fraction, average end-to-end delay and normalized routing load under varying pause time with different number of sources using NS2 based simulation.

description: Oscillations were observed across the whole solar disk using the Doppler shift and line depth of spectral lines from the CO molecule near 4666~nm with the National Solar Observatory's McMath/Pierce solar telescope. Power, coherence, and phase spectra were examined, and diagnostic diagrams reveal power ridges at the solar global mode frequencies to show that these oscillations are solar p-modes. The phase was used to determine the height of formation of the CO lines by comparison with the IR continuum intensity phase shifts as measured in Kopp et al., 1992; we find the CO line formation height varies from 425 < z < 560 km as we move from disk center towards the solar limb 1.0 > mu > 0.5. The velocity power spectra show that while the sum of the background and p-mode power increases with height in the solar atmosphere as seen in previous work, the power in the p-modes only (background subtracted) decreases with height, consistent with evanescent waves. The CO line depth weakens in regions of stronger magnetic fields, as does the p-mode oscillation power. Across most of the solar surface the phase shift is larger than the expected value of 90 degrees for an adiabatic atmosphere. We fit the phase spectra at different disk positions with a simple atmospheric model to determine that the acoustic cutoff frequency is about 4.5 mHz with only small variations, but that the thermal relaxation frequency drops significantly from 2.7 to 0 mHz at these heights in the solar atmosphere.

description: The paper deals with an approach to the model-independent searching for the Z' gauge boson as a virtual state in scattering processes. The relations between the Z' couplings to fermions covering a wide class of models beyond the standard model are found and used. They reduce in an essential way the number of parameters to be fitted in experiments. Special observables which uniquely pick out the Z' at energies of LEP and ILC colliders in different leptonic processes are introduced and the data of LEP experiments are analyzed. The Z' couplings to leptons and quarks are estimated at 95% confidence level. At this level, the LEP data are compatible with the existence of the Z' with the mass of order 1-1.2 TeV. These estimates may serve as a guide for experiments at the Tevatron and/or LHC. A comparison with other approaches and results is given.

Assessing the impacts of free-stream turbines for electricity generation
Creators: name: Atwater, Joel Fraser
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Due to a number of factors including energy security and climate change, there is an urgent need to transition the global energy supply to renewables. Two potential sources are tidal-stream and hydrokinetic power, utilizing free-stream water turbines as generating devices. Much of the interest in tidal-stream power comes from resource assessments that suggest that significant amounts of electricity could be produced from tidal currents flowing through straits. These assessments inventoried the kinetic energy flux and do not account for flow reduction due to turbine resistance. As such, they do not present a realistic picture of the resource. An analytical model for flow reduction in tidal straits demonstrates that only 38% of the natural fluid power is theoretically extractible. This model does not capture the behaviour of bays, lagoons, or the open ocean. Maximum power production requires flows to be reduced to 58% of natural and if the flow is kept above 95% of nominal (due to environmental regulations) less than 10% of the total power is available. A large laboratory experiment was built to test the analytical model and the results agree with the analytical model. Predicted future levelized cost of energy from tidal generation in straits is an interplay of reduced production due flow reduction competing with decreasing technology costs. This is modelled, indicating levelized costs of energy will drop initially, then rise due to flow reduction. Considering hydrokinetic power near hydropower stations, a 1D model used Seton Canal data to simulate the installation of turbines. The results show that the installation of hydrokinetic turbines would decrease the output of the existing powerhouse. Furthermore, the decrease in hydroelectric production is greater than the hydrokinetic production. Thus, installing hydrokinetic turbines would cause a net energy loss. In conclusion, there are three key recommendations: 1. Policy makers are cautioned in embracing tidal resource assessments that are based solely on kinetic energy flux. 2. Project proponents and regulators are advised to study far-field effects of any proposed free-stream turbine installation. 3. Developers, investors, and policy makers are cautioned towards assuming that the long-term cost of energy from tidal power will decrease.
Glasma flux tubes vs minimum-bias jets in 2D angular correlations on $η$ and $ϕ$

description: Angular correlations measured in heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) include a same-side (SS) 2D peak which is strongly elongated on pseudorapidity $η$ in more-central \auau collisions. The elongated peak has been referred to as a ``soft ridge.'' The SS peak is consistent with expected jet correlations in peripheral åand p-p collisions. A saturation-scale argument has been proposed to explain the origin of the elongated SS peak in terms of correlations from Glasma flux tubes interacting with radial flow. In this analysis we review the details of the proposed argument in comparison to perturbative QCD predictions of jet yields and correlations. We find that the proposal is inconsistent with several features of measured spectra and correlations.

description: A Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is a cooperative engagement of a collection of mobile nodes without any centralized access point or infrastructure to coordinate among the peers. The underlying concept of coordination among nodes in a cooperative MANET has induced in them a vulnerability to attacks due to issues like lack of fixed infrastructure, dynamically changing network topology, cooperative algorithms, lack of centralized monitoring and management point, and lack of a clear line of defense. We propose a semi-distributed approach towards Reputation Based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that combines with the DSR routing protocol for strengthening the defense of a MANET. Our system inherits the features of reputation from human behavior, hence making the IDS socially inspired. It has a semi-distributed architecture as the critical observation results of the system are neither spread globally nor restricted locally. The system assigns maximum weightage to self observation by nodes for updating any reputation values, thus avoiding the need of a trust relationship between nodes. Our system is also unique in the sense that it features the concepts of Redemption and Fading with a robust Path Manager and Monitor system. Simulation studies show that DSR fortified with our system outperforms normal DSR in terms of the packet delivery ratio and routing overhead even when up to half of nodes in the network behave as malicious. Various parameters introduced such as timing window size, reputation update values, congestion parameter and other thresholds have been optimized over several simulation test runs of the system. By combining the semi-distributed architecture and other design essentials like path manager, monitor module, redemption and fading concepts; Our system proves to be robust enough to counter most common attacks in MANETs.

description: It is well known that there are only two low-frequency-peaked BL Lac objects (LBLs: BL Lacertae and S5 0716+714) and one flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ: 3C 279) among more than 30 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with detected TeV emissions. We study the spectral energy distribution (SED) of a famous LBL OJ 287, whose light curve has a 12-y period. Using a homogeneous one-zone synchrotron + synchrotron-self Compton model, we model the quasi-simultaneous broad-band SED of OJ 287. With some reasonable assumptions, we extrapolate the model to the high state of OJ 287 and predict its γ-ray emissions. Taking into account the absorption of γ-ray by the extragalactic background light (EBL), we find that the TeV emission of OJ 287 in high state is slightly higher than the sensitivity of H.E.S.S. The study on SEDs of OJ 287 has implications to unveil the origin of jet activity during its 12-y period and the properties of EBL.

description: Most extrasolar planets currently known were discovered by means of an indirect method that measures the stellar wobble caused by the planet. We previously studied a triple system composed of a star and a nearby binary on circular coplanar orbits. We showed that although the effect of the binary on the star can be differentiated from the stellar wobble caused by a planet, because of observational limitations the two effects may often remain indistinguishable. Here, we develop a model that applies to eccentric and inclined orbits. We show that the binary's effect is more likely to be mistaken by planet(s) in the case of coplanar motion observed equator-on. Moreover, when the orbits are eccentric, the magnitude of the binary's effect may be larger than in the circular case. Additionally, an eccentric binary can mimic two planets with orbital periods in the ratio 2/1. However, when the star's orbit around the binary's center of mass has a high eccentricity and a reasonably well-constrained period, it should be easier to distinguish the binary's effect from a planet.

Effect of water removal through the gas diffusion layer and flow field on proton exchange membrane fuel cell performance
Creators: name: Phillips, Ryan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The sustainable nature of fuel cells has attracted global attention, and major automotive companies are investing in their development. A proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, with only heat and water as by-products. The water produced in the reaction must be effectively removed to avoid flooding, whereby liquid water accumulates in the porous electrodes and blocks pathways for reactant diffusion. By impeding reactant transport, ineffective water management decreases cell performance. Hence, understanding water removal mechanisms in PEMFCs is critical in order to increase their performance and yield a viable alternative to present-day technologies. This study investigates the effects of water removal through the gas diffusion layer (GDL) and flow field of PEMFCs in order to elucidate the impact they have on output power performance. A novel technique is implemented to evaluate the joint influence of the inlet air flow rate (FR) and relative humidity (RH), which drive water removal processes. The technique consists of an in-situ experiment that assesses cell performance, in combination with a quasi in-situ experiment that captures the local rates of water removal through the GDL along the length of the flow field. Findings from the in-situ experiment indicate a positive effect of FR, a negative effect of RH, and an interaction between FR and RH. The highest performance results from a high air FR (stoichiometric value of 6 at 1 A/cm²) and 65% RH air input, resulting in a power density of 0.470 W/cm². Based on findings from the quasi in-situ experiment, diffusivity was extracted using a comprehensive model. The final effective water vapor diffusion coefficient of the studied GDL was 0.0481 cm²/s at 70°C. Results from the experiments were compared and the association between performance and water removal rates was analyzed. High in-situ performance is most likely to occur when the quasi in-situ water removal rates are above an in-situ water production rate at 1 A/cm². The results from the input conditions are discussed in relation to water removal characteristics and potential flooding of the electrodes. Ultimately, this thesis provides valuable insight into water management aspects of PEMFCs.

description: We present the detailed study of the stellar and gaseous kinematics of the luminous early-type galaxy NGC 524 derived from the long-slit spectroscopic observations obtained with the Russian 6-m telescope and the IFU data from the SAURON survey. The stellar line-of-sight velocity distribution (LOSVD) of NGC 524 exhibits strong asymmetry. We performed the comprehensive analysis of the LOSVD using two complementary approaches implemented on top of the nbursts full spectral fitting technique, (a) a nonparametric LOSVD recovery and (b) a parametric recovery of two Gaussian kinematical components having different stellar populations. We discuss the origin of the complex stellar LOSVD of NGC 524.

description: In order to reconstruct the global SEDs of the Magellanic Clouds over eight decades in spectral range, we combined literature flux densities representing the entire LMC and SMC respectively, and complemented these with maps extracted from the WMAP and COBE databases covering the missing the 23--90 GHz (13--3.2 mm) and the poorly sampled 1.25--250 THz (240--1.25 micron). We have discovered a pronounced excess of emission from both Magellanic Clouds, but especially the SMC, at millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelengths. We also determined accurate thermal radio fluxes and very low global extinctions for both LMC and SMC. Possible explanations are briefly considered but as long as the nature of the excess emission is unknown, the total dust masses and gas-to-dust ratios of the Magellanic Clouds cannot reliably be determined.

description: Electrons travelling in free space have allowed to explore fundamental physics like the wave nature of matter, the Aharonov-Bohm and the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect. Complementarily, the precise control over the external degrees of freedom of electrons has proven pivotal for wholly new types of experiments such as high precision measurements of the electron's mass and magnetic moment in Penning traps. Interestingly, the confinement of electrons in the purely electric field of an alternating quadrupole has rarely been considered. Recent advances in the development of planar chip-based ion traps suggest that this technology can be applied to enable entirely new experiments with electron beams guided in versatile potentials. Here we demonstrate the transverse confinement of a low energy electron beam in a linear quadrupole guide based on microstructured planar electrodes and driven at microwave frequencies. A new guided matter-wave system will result, with applications ranging from electron interferometry to novel non-invasive electron microscopy.
