description: We have analytically solved the LO pQCD singlet DGLAP equations using Laplace transform techniques. Newly-developed highly accurate numerical inverse Laplace transform algorithms allow us to write fully decoupled solutions for the singlet structure function F_s(x,Q^2)and G(x,Q^2) as F_s(x,Q^2)={\cal F}_s(F_{s0}(x), G_0(x)) and G(x,Q^2)={\cal G}(F_{s0}(x), G_0(x)). Here {\cal F}_s and \cal G are known functions of the initial boundary conditions F_{s0}(x) = F_s(x,Q_0^2) and G_{0}(x) = G(x,Q_0^2), i.e., the chosen starting functions at the virtuality Q_0^2. For both G and F_s, we are able to either devolve or evolve each separately and rapidly, with very high numerical accuracy, a computational fractional precision of O(10^{-9}). Armed with this powerful new tool in the pQCD arsenal, we compare our numerical results from the above equations with the published MSTW2008 and CTEQ6L LO gluon and singlet F_s distributions, starting from their initial values at Q_0^2=1 GeV^2 and 1.69 GeV^2, respectively, using their choices of α_s(Q^2). This allows an important independent check on the accuracies of their evolution codes and therefore the computational accuracies of their published parton distributions. Our method completely decouples the two LO distributions, at the same time guaranteeing that both G and F_s satisfy the singlet coupled DGLAP equations. It also allows one to easily obtain the effects of the starting functions on the evolved gluon and singlet structure functions, as functions of both Q^2 and Q_0^2, being equally accurate in devolution as in evolution. Further, it can also be used for non-singlet distributions, thus giving LO analytic solutions for individual quark and gluon distributions at a given x and Q^2, rather than the numerical solutions of the coupled integral-differential equations on a large, but fixed, two-dimensional grid that are currently available.

description: Time resolved X-ray spectroscopy of thermonuclear bursts observed from low mass X-ray binaries offer a unique tool to measure neutron star masses and radii. In this paper, we continue our systematic analysis of all the X-ray bursts observed with RXTE from X-ray binaries. We determine the events which show clear evidence for photospheric radius expansion and measure the Eddington limits for these accreting neutron stars using the bolometric fluxes attained at the touchdown moments of each X-ray burst. We employ a Bayesian technique to investigate the degree to which the Eddington limit for each source remains constant between bursts. We find that for sources with a large number of radius expansion bursts, systematic uncertainties are at a 5-10% level. Moreover, in six sources with only pairs of Eddington-limited bursts, the distribution of fluxes is consistent with a ~10% fractional dispersion. This indicates that the spectroscopic measurements of neutron star masses and radii using thermonuclear X-ray bursts can reach the level of accuracy required to distinguish between different neutron star equations of state, provided that uncertainties related to the overall flux calibration of X-ray detectors are of comparable magnitude.

Thermodynamics of mixtures containing a very strongly polar compound. 12. Systems with nitrobenzene or 1-nitroalkane and hydrocarbons or 1-alkanols

description: Mixtures involving nitrobenzene and hydrocarbons, or 1-alkanols and 1-nitroalkane, or nitrobenzene have been investigated based on a whole set of thermophysical properties available in the literature: excess molar functions (enthalpies, entropies, isobaric heat capacities, and volumes), vapour-liquid and liquid-liquid equilibria, permittivities or dynamic viscosities. In addition, the mixtures have been studied by means of the DISQUAC, ERAS, and UNIFAC models, and the concentration-concentration structure factor. The corresponding DISQUAC and ERAS interaction parameters are reported. In alkane mixtures, dipolar interactions between 1-nitroalkane molecules are weakened when the size of the polar compound increases, accordingly with the relative variation of their effective dipolar moment. Dipolar interactions are stronger in nitrobenzene solutions than in those containing the smaller 1-nitropropane, although both nitroalkanes have very similar effective dipole moment (aromaticity effect). Systems with 1-alkanols are characterized by dipolar interactions between like molecules which sharply increases when the alkanol size increases. Simultaneously, interactions between unlike molecules become weaker, as the OH group is then more sterically hindered. Interactions between unlike molecules are stronger in systems with nitromethane than in nitrobenzene solutions. The replacement of nitromethane by nitroethane in systems with a given 1-alkanol leads to strengthen those effects related with the alcohol self-association. Permittivity data and results on Kirkwood correlation factors show that the addition of 1-alkanol to a nitroalkane leads to cooperative effects, which increase the dipolar polarization of the solution, in such way that the destruction of the existing structure in pure liquids is partially counterbalanced. This effect is less important when longer 1-alkanols are involved.

description: Using a time series model to mimic an observed time series has a long history. However, with regard to this objective, conventional estimation methods for discrete-time dynamical models are frequently found to be wanting. In fact, they are characteristically misguided in at least two respects: (i) assuming that there is a true model; (ii) evaluating the efficacy of the estimation as if the postulated model is true. There are numerous examples of models, when fitted by conventional methods, that fail to capture some of the most basic global features of the data, such as cycles with good matching periods, singularities of spectral density functions (especially at the origin) and others. We argue that the shortcomings need not always be due to the model formulation but the inadequacy of the conventional fitting methods. After all, all models are wrong, but some are useful if they are fitted properly. The practical issue becomes one of how to best fit the model to data. Thus, in the absence of a true model, we prefer an alternative approach to conventional model fitting that typically involves one-step-ahead prediction errors. Our primary aim is to match the joint probability distribution of the observable time series, including long-term features of the dynamics that underpin the data, such as cycles, long memory and others, rather than short-term prediction. For want of a better name, we call this specific aim feature matching.

Absence of day-night asymmetry of 862 keV Be-7 solar neutrino rate in Borexino and MSW oscillation parameters

description: We report on a search for the day-night asymmetry of the Be-7 solar neutrino rate measured by Borexino at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), Italy. The measured value, Adn=0.001 +- 0.012 (stat) +- 0.007 (syst), shows the absence of a significant asymmetry. This result alone rejects the so-called LOW solution at more than 8.5 sigma. Combined with the other solar neutrino data, it isolates the Large Mixing Angle (LMA) -- MSW solution at DeltaChi2 > 190 without relying on the assumption of CPT symmetry in the neutrino sector. We also show that including the day-night asymmetry, data from Borexino alone restricts the MSW neutrino oscillations to the LMA solution at 90% confidence level.

A self-driving laboratory for optimizing thin-film materials
Creators: name: MacLeod, Benjamin Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: To satisfy the evolving needs of the many industries that employ thin-film materials, new materials and deposition methods are continually being optimized. These optimizations are often slow and empirical because thin-film materials and deposition methods are complex. In this thesis I develop a new tool for accelerating the optimization of thin-film materials: a self-driving laboratory (SDL). This SDL consists of a suite of automated film synthesis and characterization stations linked together by robots and controlled by an experiment-planning algorithm. This SDL optimizes thin-film materials by iteratively planning and executing film synthesis experiments in a fully autonomous loop. I first demonstrate the SDL by using it to autonomously maximize the hole mobility of films of spiro-OMeTAD, a p-type organic semiconductor used in perovskite solar cells. The SDL automatically deposited films containing varying amounts of a dopant, annealed these films for varying durations, and then characterized the films. The SDL identified the doping ratio and annealing time that maximize the hole mobility by performing 35 cycles of iterative experimentation under the control of a Bayesian optimization algorithm. This study showed that an SDL can autonomously optimize film composition and processing parameters without ongoing human intervention. I then upgrade the SDL to optimize combustion-synthesized palladium films for multiple objectives simultaneously. Under the control of a multiobjective Bayesian optimization algorithm, the SDL autonomously identified a range of combustion synthesis conditions yielding optimal trade-offs between the conflicting objectives of conductivity and annealing temperature for drop-cast films. Simulated optimization runs indicated that the self-driving laboratory achieved this result in 10 times fewer experiments than would have been required using a grid search. The combustion synthesis conditions identified by the self-driving laboratory enable the spray coating of uniform palladium films with moderate conductivity (1.1E5 S/m) at 191 °C. Spray coating at 226 °C yields films with conductivities (2.0E6 S/m) comparable to those of sputtered films (2.0 to 5.8E6 S/m). This work shows how a self-driving laboratory can efficiently identify film synthesis conditions yielding optimal trade-offs between conflicting objectives.

description: An alternative measure of x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) called inverse partial fluorescence yield (IPFY) has recently been developed that is both bulk sensitive and free of saturation effects. Here we show that the angle dependence of IPFY can provide a measure directly proportional to the total x-ray absorption coefficient, $μ(E)$. In contrast, fluorescence yield (FY) and electron yield (EY) spectra are offset and/or distorted from $μ(E)$ by an unknown and difficult to measure amount. Moreover, our measurement can determine $μ(E)$ in absolute units with no free parameters by scaling to $μ(E)$ at the non-resonant emission energy. We demonstrate this technique with measurements on NiO and NdGaO$_3$. Determining $μ(E)$ across edge-steps enables the use of XAS as a non-destructive measure of material composition. In NdGaO$_3$, we also demonstrate the utility of IPFY for insulating samples, where neither EY or FY provide reliable spectra due to sample charging and self-absorption effects, respectively.

description: The essence of 6G lies at the heart of a multitude of envisioned use cases that extend beyond the capabilities of current 5G networks. These applications range from robots working alongside humans (cobots) to enabling massive twinning and immersive telepresence experiences. To fulfill the stringent requirements imposed by these use cases—such as ultra-high-speed connectivity, predictable low latency, and extensive device connectivity—6G networks must overcome challenges like limited physical resources and techno-economic pressures. Consequently, a data-driven architecture becomes paramount for 6G to meet these demands.
The revolutionary role of AI in 6G can be examined across three distinct categories: AI-Empowered Services, Remote AI, and Management & Orchestration. AI-Empowered Services encompass customization and personalization, where the implementation of distributed learning techniques and the assurance of data trustworthiness are of utmost importance. Meanwhile, in the domain of AI-enhanced security, we must prioritize privacy preservation and data quality, ensuring the integrity and privacy of data.
Remote AI introduces the concept of accessible and scalable AI, enabling the democratization of AI to advance 6G capabilities. Furthermore, the unification of AI services is explored, enhancing operational efficiency.
Lastly, in the realm of management and orchestration, intelligent network management is key. Here, the challenges surrounding distributed intelligence, AI model and data management, and resource allocation must be addressed. These facets intertwine with issues of interoperability and trust, further emphasizing the need for seamless AI integration into 6G networks. AI-driven edge computing, with its focus on data and model exchange, as well as resource management, is pivotal for the effective deployment of AI at the network's edge. Additionally, the optimization of energy consumption is critical in the pursuit of a greener, more sustainable network.
The landscape of 6G is complex and multifaceted, with AI and data playing central roles in its realization. As we explore each category, we uncover the intricate landscape of challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this transformative journey.

description: We find a new class of N=2 massive IIA solutions whose internal spaces are S^2 fibrations over S^2 x S^2. These solutions appear naturally as massive deformations of the type IIA reduction of Sasaki-Einstein manifolds in M-theory, including Q^{1,1,1} and Y^{p,k}, and play a role in the AdS4/CFT3 correspondence. We use this example to initiate a systematic study of the parameter space of massive solutions with fluxes. We define and study the natural parameter space of the solutions, which is a certain dense subset of R^3, whose boundaries correspond to orbifold or conifold singularities. On a codimension-one subset of the parameter space, where the Romans mass vanishes, it is possible to perform a lift to M-theory; extending earlier work, we produce a family A^{p,q,r} of Sasaki-Einstein manifolds with cohomogeneity one and SU(2) x SU(2) x U(1) isometry. We also propose a Chern-Simons theory describing the duals of the massless and massive solutions.

description: Mixtures formed by 1-alkanol and one strongly polar compound (nitromethane (NM), ethanenitrile (EtN), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), sulfolane (SULF), nitrobenzene (NTBz) or benzonitrile (BzCN)) have been investigated on the basis of a set of thermophysical data, which includes: excess molar functions (enthalpies, $H_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, Gibbs energies, $G_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, entropies, $T S_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, isobaric heat capacities, $C_{p \text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, volumes, $V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$); liquid-liquid equilibria (LLE), excess permittivities and deviations from the linearity of dynamic viscosities. In addition, calculations have been conducted to determine the Kirkwood-Buff integrals and the Kirkwood correlations factors, $g_{\text{K}}$, of the investigated mixtures. In the former case, DISQUAC has been employed for modeling the needed vapour-liquid equilibria data. Many systems under consideration are characterized by dipolar interactions between like molecules and have positive values of $H_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, $C_{p \text{m}}^{\text{E}}$ and $T S_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$. On the other hand, alkanol-solvent interactions, for mixtures with a fixed 1-alkanol, become weakened in the sequence: DMSO $\approx$ SULF > EtN > NM > BzCN > NTBz. In systems with a given solvent, such interactions become also weaker when the chain length of the 1-alkanol is increased. Interestingly, the considered mixtures also show strong structural effects. Results on Kirkwood-Buff integrals reveal that nitriles are more preferred than nitroalkanes around a central alcohol molecule. Calculations on $g_{\text{K}}$ show that, in terms of the mixture polarization, the systems are rather unstructured, and that this trend becomes more important when the 1-alkanol size increases in solutions with a given solvent.

White coats in the streets : physician advocacy and the Interim Federal Health Program in Canada, 2012-2016
Creators: name: Harrison, Clea
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: In April 2012, Canada’s federal Conservative government quietly announced drastic reforms to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), a policy designed to provide temporary healthcare coverage to refugees, refugee claimants, asylum seekers, and other precarious status groups. The decision shocked physicians across the country, prompting them to coordinate and engage in four years of direct action against the Harper government to protest the reform. Drawing on semistructured interviews with 16 physicians across Canada, as well as a relevant sample of media content from 2012 to 2016, this thesis explores the multiple and changing ways in which physicians understood both their profession and ‘Canada’ during (and after) the period of reform. I engage with literature on the IFHP reform, health social movement scholarship, and medical literature on physician advocacy, as addressing this topic thoroughly requires an interdisciplinary approach. I argue that the physician-led health social movement around the IFHP reform resulted, in part, from physicians’ sense that the Harper government’s policy clashed with their responsibilities as Canadian physicians and their imaginings of the Canadian nation as humanitarian and communitarian. In fighting against this clash, physicians engaged in actions traditionally deemed ‘activist,’ which challenged conventional interpretations of the CanMEDS Health Advocate Role, thus pushing the boundaries of what is expected of their profession in Canada. This research contributes to current conversations in Canada regarding the CanMEDS Health Advocate Role and teaching physician advocacy, as well as to geographic studies of professions and their expertise.

The usage of equivalence transformations appears a crucial point for the exhaustive solution of the problem. We prove that all the classes under consideration are normalized. This allows us to formulate the classification results in three ways: up to two kinds of equivalence (which are generated by transformations from the corresponding equivalence groups and all admissible point transformations) and using no equivalence. A simple way of the construction of exact solutions of mKdV-like equations using equivalence transformations is described.

description: We study the tuning mechanisms of the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) exchange interaction between two lateral quantum dots in the Kondo regime. At zero magnetic field we observe the expected splitting of the Kondo resonance and measure the RKKY interaction strength J as a function of the asymmetry between the two Kondo temperatures. At finite magnetic fields a chiral coupling between the quantum dots is observed in the Kondo chessboard and we probe the presence of the exchange interaction by analyzing the Kondo temperature with magnetic field.

Volumetric and Viscosimetric Measurements for Methanol + CH$_3$-O-(CH$_2$CH$_2$O)$_n$-CH$_3$ ($n$ = 2, 3, 4) Mixtures at (293.15-303.15) K and Atmospheric Pressure: Application of the ERAS Model

description: Densities, $ρ$, and kinematic viscosities, $ν$, have been determined at atmospheric pressure and at (293.15-303.15) K for binary mixtures formed by methanol and one linear polyether of the type CH$_3$-O-(CH$_2$CH$_2$O)$_n$-CH$_3$ ($n$ = 2,3,4). The $ρ$ values are used to compute excess molar volumes, $V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, and, together with $ν$ results, dynamic viscosities ($η$). Deviations from linear dependence on mole fraction for viscosity, $Δη$, are also provided. Different semi-empirical equations have been employed to correlate viscosity data. Particularly, the equations used are: Grunberg-Nissan, Hind, Frenkel, Katti-Chaudhri, McAllister and Heric. Calculations show that better results are obtained from the Hind equation. The $V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$ values are large and negative and contrast with the positive excess molar enthalpies, $H_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, available in the literature, for these systems. This indicates that structural effects are dominant. The $Δη$ results are positive and correlate well with the difference in volume of the mixture compounds confirming the importance of structural effects. The temperature dependences of $η$ and of the molar volume have been used to calculate enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies, $ΔG^*$, of viscous flow. It is demonstrated that $ΔG^*$ is essentially determined by enthalpic effects. Methanol + CH$_3$-O-(CH$_2$CH$_2$O)$_n$-CH$_3$ mixtures have been treated in the framework of the ERAS model. Results on $H_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$ are acceptable, while the composition dependence of the $V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$ curves is poorly represented. This has been ascribed to the existence of strong dipolar and structural effects in the present solutions.
Electron spin-phonon interaction symmetries and tunable spin relaxation in silicon and germanium

description: Compared with direct-gap semiconductors, the valley degeneracy of silicon and germanium opens up new channels for spin relaxation that counteract the spin degeneracy of the inversion-symmetric system. Here the symmetries of the electron-phonon interaction for silicon and germanium are identified and the resulting spin lifetimes are calculated. Room-temperature spin lifetimes of electrons in silicon are found to be comparable to those in gallium arsenide, however, the spin lifetimes in silicon or germanium can be tuned by reducing the valley degeneracy through strain or quantum confinement. The tunable range is limited to slightly over an order of magnitude by intravalley processes.

description: Ice accretion is substantially detrimental to a range of different industries worldwide. Current methods for reducing ice adhesion include the use of lubricants, hydrophobic coatings, or soft elastomers, all of which exhibit limited durability. As an alternative, here I suspend sparsely confined metallic sheets and tailor the surface buckling instability, resulting in ice adhesion strengths on par with these prior strategies but without the use of any coatings. These Buckling Elastomer-like Anti-icing Metallic Surfaces, or BEAMS, exhibit low ice adhesion (<1 kPa) and the mechanical durability of metals. The BEAMS sheet confinement, boundary conditions, and physical dimensions of both the ice and the metallic plates can be altered to minimize ice adhesion via the mechanics of plate buckling. I also studied how curvature affects the shear ice adhesion strength of BEAMS, understanding that the compliance of the suspension plays a role in reducing the ice adhesion strength by inducing lateral-torsional buckling. Results from an icing wind tunnel confirmed the efficacy of BEAMS towards impact rime- and glaze- type ice accreted in atmospheric icing conditions. Accordingly, numerical investigation confirmed that the extremely low ice adhesion strength of BEAMS, even on curved surfaces, was due to buckling instabilities either within the thin metal plates or the suspension material. Moreover, the airgap underneath the metal sheet can be substituted with a liquid, altering the ice detachment mechanism and durability of BEAMS. We investigated the effect of the type and viscosity of this liquid on ice adhesion strength and impact resistance of BEAMS. In addition to the excellent passive de-icing performance of BEAMS, we further implemented active de-icing in BEAMS by designing elastomeric suspension points shaped as channels to flow air underneath the suspended sheet. Active de-icing was first achieved by pressurizing the air within the channels to bulge the sheet outward and delaminate accreted ice from the interface. Active de-icing was also performed by flowing room temperature air through the channels to melt the interface. Overall, the active and passive de-icing capabilities of BEAMS make it a promising candidate for improving the operational efficiency of infrastructure in cold environments.

description: We report on magnetotransport measurements of multi-terminal suspended graphene devices. Fully developed integer quantum Hall states appear in magnetic fields as low as 2 T. At higher fields the formation of longitudinal resistance minima and transverse resistance plateaus are seen corresponding to fractional quantum Hall states, most strongly for ν= 1/3. By measuring the temperature dependence of these resistance minima, the energy gap for the 1/3 fractional state in graphene is determined to be at ~20 K at 14 T.

description: A novel method for fast information retrieval from a probe storage device is considered. It is shown that information can be stored and retrieved using the optical diffraction patterns obtained by the illumination of a large array of cantilevers by a monochromatic light source. In thermo-mechanical probe storage, the information is stored as a sequence of indentations on the polymer medium. To retrieve the information, the array of probes is actuated by applying a bending force to the cantilevers. Probes positioned over indentations experience deflection by the depth of the indentation, probes over the flat media remain un-deflected. Thus the array of actuated probes can be viewed as an irregular optical grating, which creates a data-dependent diffraction pattern when illuminated by laser light. We develop a low complexity modulation scheme, which allows the extraction of information stored in the pattern of indentations on the media from Fourier coefficients of the intensity of the diffraction pattern. We then derive a low-complexity maximum likelihood sequence detection algorithm for retrieving the user information from the Fourier coefficients. The derivation of both the modulation and the detection schemes is based on the Fraunhofer formula for data-dependent diffraction patterns. We show that for as long as the Fresnel number F<0.1, the optimal channel detector derived from Fraunhofer diffraction theory does not suffer any significant performance degradation.

description: We study quantum fidelity, the overlap between two ground states of a many-body system, focusing on the thermodynamic regime. We show how drop of fidelity near a critical point encodes universal information about a quantum phase transition. Our general scaling results are illustrated in the quantum Ising chain for which a remarkably simple expression for fidelity is found.
