description: In sufficiently dimerized quantum antiferromagnets the elementary excitations are given by gapped spin S = 1 triplon quasiparticles. Although these triplons are protected by a gap at low energies they may decay spontaneously at higher energies where the one-triplon dispersion merges with the two-triplon continuum. First, we illustrate and characterize such a spontaneous decay in low-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets on the basis of a simple one-dimensional bosonic model. The decay implies the breakdown of the quasiparticle picture. No quantitative description by a Lorentzian resonance is possible. In particular, three qualitatively different scenarios are identified depending on the one-triplon dispersion and the two-triplon interaction. To describe unstable quasiparticles in more complex models we introduced an adapted generator for continuous unitary transformations. Its general properties are derived and discussed. Next, we investigate asymmetric antiferromagnetic and asymmetric ferroantiferromagnetic spin S = ½ Heisenberg ladders, which allow for spontaneous triplon decay, to illustrate this approach. Results for the low-energy spectra and the dynamical structure factors for these systems are presented. We show that quasiparticle decay is more pronounced in the case of ferro-antiferromagnetic ladders than in solely antiferromagnetic ladders. Finally, we use continuous unitary transformations and high temperature series expansions to determine a quantitative model for the compound IPA-CuCl3 based on data of inelastic neutron scattering and measurements of the magnetic susceptibility. Our calculations reveal IPA-CuCl3 as system of coupled asymmetric spin S = ½ Heisenberg ladders with the four magnetic couplings J 1 ˜ -2.3 meV, J2 ˜ 1.2 meV, J3 ˜ 2.9 meV and J4 ˜ -0.3 meV. Based on this microscopic model for IPA-CuCl3 the adapted continuous unitary transformation is used to describe the quasiparticle decay in IPA-CuCl3. The results agree very well with the experimental data. In addition the magnetic field dependence of the lowest modes in the condensed phase as well as the temperature dependence of the gap without magnetic field corroborate our microscopic model.
Lossy color image compression based on quantization
Creators: name: Shahid, Hiba
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Significant improvements that are based on quantization can be made in the area of lossy image compression. In this thesis, we propose two effective quantization based algorithms for compressing two-dimensional RGB images. The first method is based on a new codebook generation algorithm which, unlike existing VQ methods. It forms the codewords directly in one step, using the less common local information in every image in the training set. Existing methods form an initial codebook and update it iteratively, by taking the average of vectors representing small image regions. Another distinguishing aspect of this method is the use of non-overlapping hexagonal blocks instead of the traditional rectangular blocks, to partition the images. We demonstrate how the codewords are extracted from such blocks. We also measure the separate contribution of each of the two distinguishing aspects of the proposed codebook generation algorithm. The second proposed method, unlike all known VQ algorithms, does not use training images or a codebook. It is implemented to further improve the image quality resulting from the proposed codebook generation algorithm. In this algorithm, the representative pixels (i.e. those that represent pixels that are perceptually similar) are extracted from sets of perceptually similar color pixels. Also, the image pixels are reconstructed using the closest representative pixels. There are two main differences between this algorithm and the existing lossy compression algorithms including our proposed codebook generation algorithm. The first is that this algorithm exploits the image pixel correlation according to the viewer’s perception and not according to how close it is numerically to its neighboring pixels. The second difference is that this algorithm does not reconstruct an entire image block simultaneously using a codeword. Each pixel is reconstructed such that it has the value of its closest representative pixel.

description: In this work the path integral formulation for rigid rotors, proposed by Müser and Berne [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 77}, 2638 (1996)], is described in detail. It is shown how this formulation can be used to perform Monte Carlo simulations of water. Our numerical results show that whereas some properties of water can be accurately reproduced using classical simulations with an empirical potential which, implicitly, includes quantum effects, other properties can only be described quantitatively when quantum effects are explicitly incorporated. In particular, quantum effects are extremely relevant when it comes to describing the equation of state of the ice phases at low temperatures, the structure of the ices at low temperatures, and the heat capacity of both liquid water and the ice phases. They also play a minor role in the relative stability of the ice phases.

description: In this paper we recall a simple formulation of the stationary electrovacuum theory in terms of the famous complex Ernst potentials, a pair of functions which allows one to generate new exact solutions from known ones by means of the so-called nonlinear hidden symmetries of Lie-Backlund type. This formalism turned out to be very useful to perform a complete classification of all 4D solutions which present two spacetime symmetries or possess two Killing vectors. Curiously enough, the Ernst formalism can be extended and applied to stationary General Relativity as well as the effective heterotic string theory reduced down to three spatial dimensions by means of a (real) matrix generalization of the Ernst potentials. Thus, in this theory one can also make use of nonlinear matrix hidden symmetries in order to generate new exact solutions from seed ones. Due to the explicit independence of the matrix Ernst potential formalism of the original theory (prior to dimensional reduction) on the dimension D, in the case when the theory initially has D>=5, one can generate new solutions like charged black holes, black rings and black Saturns, among others, starting from uncharged field configurations.

description: This paper deals with the local asymptotic structure, in the sense of Le Cam’s asymptotic theory of statistical experiments, of the signal detection problem in high dimension. More precisely, we consider the problem of testing the null hypothesis of sphericity of a high-dimensional covariance matrix against an alternative of (unspecified) multiple symmetry-breaking directions (multispiked alternatives). Simple analytical expressions for the asymptotic power envelope and the asymptotic powers of previously proposed tests are derived. These asymptotic powers are shown to lie very substantially below the envelope, at least for relatively small values of the number of symmetry-breaking directions under the alternative. In contrast, the asymptotic power of the likelihood ratio test based on the eigenvalues of the sample covariance matrix is shown to be close to that envelope. These results extend to the case of multispiked alternatives the findings of an earlier study (Onatski, Moreira and Hallin, 2011) of the single-spiked case. The methods we are using here, however, are entirely new, as the Laplace approximations considered in the single-spiked context do not extend to the multispiked case.

The im(proper) name of Salman Rushdie : hybridity, migrancy, and the Rushdie persona
Creators: name: Eikenaar, Jannik Haruo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Salman Rushdie’s fiction is often celebrated for challenging colonial and postcolonial systems of power and representation, in part through inscriptions of marginalized subject positions that subvert normative assumptions about identity. Our understandings of those subject positions are influenced by the Rushdie persona, a cultural presence that is part author function, part literary celebrity, part writer / thinker in the contemporary marketplace, and part living body under threat. An idea in excess of Rushdie’s lived experience and not entirely within his control, this persona occupies a position of social and material privilege and is regularly attributed qualities that position it as an exemplary authority on how to survive and succeed as a hybrid subject and migrant citizen. As a result, the persona exerts a limiting influence on the reading of Rushdie’s hybrid and migrant protagonists by often rendering them as consistent with, rather than subversive of, the values of the dominant West. This project clarifies the effects of the Rushdie persona by theorizing its dominant qualities and conditions of production, and by analyzing the interplay between the persona and the protagonists of Rushdie’s recent novels, memoir, and film: Shalimar the Clown, The Enchantress of Florence, Joseph Anton: A Memoir, and the screen version of Midnight’s Children. I argue the persona increasingly reduces the subversive potential of Rushdie’s work, particularly with regard to the themes of hybridity and migrancy. However, there is still room to read against the persona’s influence by occupying a critical position modelled by the filmic adaptation of Midnight’s Children and within this dissertation – a position that requires an open-minded, skeptical encounter with the Rushdie persona.

description: We have considered a hot strange star matter, just after the collapse of a supernova, as a composition of strange, up and down quarks to calculate the bulk properties of this system at finite temperature with the density dependent bag constant. To parameterize the density dependent bag constant, we use our results for the lowest order constrained variational (LOCV) calculations of asymmetric nuclear matter. Our calculations for the structure properties of the strange star at different temperatures indicate that its maximum mass decreases by increasing the temperature. We have also compared our results with those of a fixed value of the bag constant. It can be seen that the density dependent bag constant leads to higher values of the maximum mass and radius for the strange star.

description: The high upper critical field characteristic of the recently discovered iron-based superconducting chalcogenides opens the possibility of developing a new type of non-oxide high-field superconducting wires. In this work, we utilize a buffered metal template on which we grow a textured FeSe$_{0.5}$Te$_{0.5}$ layer, an approach developed originally for high temperature superconducting coated conductors. These tapes carry high critical current densities (>1$\times10^{4}$A/cm$^{2}$) at about 4.2K under magnetic field as high as 25 T, which are nearly isotropic to the field direction. This demonstrates a very promising future for iron chalcogenides for high field applications at liquid helium temperatures. Flux pinning force analysis indicates a point defect pinning mechanism, creating prospects for a straightforward approach to conductor optimization.

In order to enlarge the throughtput of the DAQ system an on-line lossless data compression has been realized reducing almost a factor 4 the data flow. Moreover a trigger system based on a new efficient on-line identification algorithm of wire hits was studied, implemented on the actual ICARUS digital read- out boards and fully tested on the ICARINO LAr-TPC facility operated at LNL INFN Laboratory with cosmic-rays. Capability to trigger isolated low energy events down to 1 MeV visible energy was also demonstrated.

description: Mount Oku is well known for its exceptional species diversity for both animals and plants. A total number of 27 species of rodents and six species of shrews are reported from the area. Ten of these species are endemic at local or regional level and are considered as endangered or vulnerable, with a decreasing population trend. They are thus conside-red as having a high conservation importance. We sampled terrestrial small mammals from owl pellets during a period of 22 months in different areas near the village Oku, in order to assess the importance of these taxa in the diet of owl species present in the area. The 236 pellets attributed to three sympatric owl species (Barn owl, Tyto alba, the African wood owl, Strix woodfordii, Northern white-faced owl, Ptilopsis leucotis), yielded a total number of 543 specimens of rodents and shrews, belonging to 22 species (16 species of rodents and six species of shrews). They represented respectively 69.06% and 30.94% of the total assemblage, the species Dasymys sp.,   with    a  final    score    of  18.23%, having the   highest relative abundance.  Of  the  ten  species  with  a  high  conservation  importance,  only  Lemniscomys mittendorfi  was  missing.  All  constituted about 27.62% of all specimens collected, with a relative abundance of 4.23% for species strictly restricted to Mount Oku.    This    study    confirms the   position of  Mount Oku   as  an  important conservation area   for   rodents and   shrews, and highlights the evidence that terrestrial small mammal predation by owls cannot be considered a threat to species of conservation concern at Mount Oku.

The cool magnetic DAZ white dwarf NLTT 10480

Year: 2011

description: We have identified a new, cool magnetic white dwarf in the New Luyten Two-Tenths (NLTT) catalogue. The high proper-motion star NLTT 10480 (mu=0.5"/year) shows weak Zeeman-split lines of calcium, as well as characteristic Halpha and beta Zeeman triplets. Using VLT X-shooter spectra we measured a surface-averaged magnetic field B_S ~ 0.5 MG. The relative intensity of the pi and sigma components of the calcium and hydrogen lines imply a high inclination (i > 60 deg). The optical-to-infrared V-J colour index and the CaI/CaII ionization balance indicate a temperature between 4900 and 5200 K, while the Balmer line profiles favour a higher temperature of 5400 K. The discrepancy is potentially resolved by increasing the metallicity to 0.03x solar, hence increasing the electron pressure. However, the measured calcium abundance and abundance upper limits for other elements (Na, Al, Si. and Fe) imply a low photospheric metallicity < 10^{-4} solar. Assuming diffusion steady-state, a calcium accretion rate of log(dM/dt)(g/s)=5.6+/-0.3 is required to sustain a calcium abundance of log(n(Ca)/n(H))=-10.30+/-0.30 in the white dwarf atmosphere. We examine the implications of this discovery for the incidence of planetary debris and weak magnetic fields in cool white dwarf stars.

description: In this thesis we study a diffuse interface approximation of the sum of the area and Willmore functional for which Gamma-convergence has already been established in the case of small space dimensions and smoothly bounded sets. We extend this result to a larger class of configurations with nonsmooth phase boundaries and explicitly allow intersecting boundary curves. We also analyze the interaction of parallel planar phase phields and discuss their slow motion under the L2-gradient flow of the diffuse Willmore functional. Moreover, we prove the existence of a new class of periodic entire solutions to the stationary Allen-Cahn equation in two dimensions.

description: Over the past decade, sky surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey have proven the power of large data sets for answering fundamental astrophysical questions. This observational progress, based on a synergy of advances in telescope construction, detectors, and information technology, has had a dramatic impact on nearly all fields of astronomy, and areas of fundamental physics. The next-generation instruments, and the surveys that will be made with them, will maintain this revolutionary progress. The hardware and computational technical challenges and the exciting science opportunities are attracting scientists and engineers from astronomy, optics, low-light-level detectors, high-energy physics, statistics, and computer science. The history of astronomy has taught us repeatedly that there are surprises whenever we view the sky in a new way. This will be particularly true of discoveries emerging from a new generation of sky surveys. Imaging data from large ground-based active optics telescopes with sufficient etendue can address many scientific missions simultaneously. These new investigations will rely on the statistical precision obtainable with billions of objects. For the first time, the full sky will be surveyed deep and fast, opening a new window on a universe of faint moving and distant exploding objects as well as unraveling the mystery of dark energy.

description: The Woods-Saxon-Strutinsky method (the microscopic-macroscopic method) combined with Kruppa's prescription for positive energy levels, which is necessary to treat neutron rich nuclei, is studied to clarify the reason for its success and to propose improvements for its shortcomings. The reason why the plateau condition is met for the Nilsson model but not for the Woods-Saxon model is understood in a new interpretation of the Strutinsky smoothing procedure as a low-pass filter. Essential features of Kruppa's level density is extracted in terms of the Thomas-Fermi approximation modified to describe spectra obtained from diagonalization in truncated oscillator bases. A method is proposed which weakens the dependence on the smoothing width by applying the Strutinsky smoothing only to the deviations from a reference level density. The BCS equations are modified for the Kruppa's spectrum, which is necessary to treat the pairing correlation properly in the presence of continuum. The potential depth is adjusted for the consistency between the microscopic and macroscopic Fermi energies. It is shown, with these improvements, that the microscopic-macroscopic method is now capable to reliably calculate binding energies of nuclei far from stability.

The emission shows two peaks separated by ~7 arsec along the disk plane, which we interpret as a highly inclined dust ring or belt. A simple model constrains the belt center to 94+/-8 AU, close to the prominent break in slope of the optical scattered light. We identify this region as the location as the main reservoir of dust producing planetesimals in the disk.

Resistance to food processing sanitizers and heavy metals in Listeria monocytogenes from British Columbia, Canada and antibiogram profiles of clinically relevant Listeria monocytogenes from British Columbia and Alberta, Canada
Creators: name: Milillo, Michael Steven
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), a foodborne pathogen, causes the rare but severe disease listeriosis in at-risk populations. Resistance that increases environmental fitness in Lm, including resistance to heavy metals and/or food processing sanitizers, is of concern as it may increase survival in natural and food processing environments that leads to increased potential for product contamination. Lm (n=46) from the British Columbia food chain were evaluated for resistance to food processing sanitizers and heavy metals. All isolates were found to be sensitive to triclosan (16 µg/ml) and peroxyacetic acid (150 ppm exposure for 60 seconds). Seventeen isolates were resistant to quaternary ammonium compounds (QUATs; 10 µg/ml), with all positive for one known resistance determinant (bcrABC, n=16; emrE, n=1). Resistance to cadmium (Cd) and arsenic was found in 89% and 24% of the isolates, respectively. Under sub-lethal concentrations of Cd, all Cd sensitive isolates showed reduced growth. Decreasing pH and increasing Cd resulted in a minimum inhibitory concentration for a representative Cd sensitive isolate at 1.5 µg/ml CdCl₂ at pH 6 and 0.5 µg/ml CdCl₂ at pH 5.5. All bcrABC positive isolates were Cd resistant, and two were capable of co-transferring QUAT and Cd resistance to L. monocytogenes 08-5578. When bcrABC and emrE were combined through conjugation, there was no observable increase in resistance to QUATs. While L. monocytogenes from British Columbia remain sensitive to common sanitizers, a sub-population is resistant to low QUAT concentrations and co-resistant to Cd. Further work is needed to explore if co-selection between heavy metal and sanitizer resistance is a concern in the food chain. As Lm continue to cause disease, surveillance of antibiotic resistance within the population of Lm is necessary to aid in effective early treatment. A collection of sequence type 120 Lm (n=21) were all found to be sensitive to the primary drugs of choice for treatment of listeriosis - ampicillin, gentamicin, and co-trimoxazole. Four isolates were resistant to an ampicillin alternative, linezolid. This data supports the continued use of the primary drugs of choice in treating listeriosis in Canada from sequence type 120 Lm, but suggests the possibility of decreased effectiveness of alternative antibiotics.

description: Nanoscale particles embedded in a metallic matrix are of considerable interest as a route towards identifying and tailoring material properties. We present a detailed investigation of the electronic structure, and in particular the Fermi surface, of a nanoscale phase ($L1_2$ Al$_3$Li) that has so far been inaccessible with conventional techniques, despite playing a key role in determining the favorable material properties of the alloy (Al\nobreakdash-9 at. %\nobreakdash-Li). The ordered precipitates only form within the stabilizing Al matrix and do not exist in the bulk; here, we take advantage of the strong positron affinity of Li to directly probe the Fermi surface of Al$_3$Li. Through comparison with band structure calculations, we demonstrate that the positron uniquely probes these precipitates, and present a 'tuned' Fermi surface for this elusive phase.

description: The main purpose of this thesis was the mathematical analysis of certain spatially coupled Reaction-Diffusion Systems arising in the description of Signaling Networks in biological cells. The spatial coupling between a diffusion in the cytosolic bulk and reaction and diffusion processes on the boundary surface is given by a Robin-type boundary condition that introduces a source term in the boundary equations. This thesis provides existence and well-posedness results for prototypes of such models. The main results were the following: Considering regular data and classical diffusion operators (in case of the surface equations expressed by the Laplace-Beltrami operator) we find existence of classical solutions and well-posedness based on an operator splitting approach that decouples bulk and surface equations. Complementary to the classical setting we have also considered possibly nonsmooth diffusion operators that for example can model heterogeneous domains with specific properties on the membrane. The existence and well-posedness result was based on an implicit discretization in time which reduces the given nonlinear parabolic system to a sequence of nonlinear recursive elliptic problems. This was then solved by an application of the theory of monotone perturbed operators. Furthermore, the results were applied to rigorously justify an asymptotic model reduction to a nonlocal two-variable system on the membrane.

description: The origin of grain size distribution in the interstellar medium is one of the most fundamental problems in the interstellar physics. In the Milky Way, smaller grains are more abundant in number, but their origins are not necessarily specified and quantified. One of the most efficient drivers of small grain production is interstellar turbulence, in which dust grains can acquire relative velocities large enough to be shattered. Applying the framework of shattering developed in previous papers, we show that small ($a\la 0.01~\micron$) grains reach the abundance level observed in the Milky Way in $\sim 10^8$ yr (i.e. within the grain lifetime) by shattering in warm neutral medium. We also show that if part of grains experience additional shattering in warm ionized medium, carbonaceous grains with $a\sim 0.01~\micron$ are redistributed into smaller sizes. This could explain the relative enhancement of very small carbonaceous grains with $a\sim 3$--100 Å. Our theory also explains the ubiquitous association between large grains and very small grains naturally. Some tests for our theory are proposed in terms of the metallicity dependence.

Diffuse sound fields, reverberation-room methods and the effectiveness of reverberation-room designs
Creators: name: Hasan, Md Mehadi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The reverberation-room method, which assumes a diffuse sound field, has long been used for various standardized room-acoustical determinations – e.g. of surface-absorption coefficients, power levels of sound sources, transmission losses of acoustical partitions, etc. In this regard, a number of standards have emerged to offer some help by outlining necessary reverberation-room design guidelines to achieve sufficient sound-field diffuseness. However, unsatisfactory opinions regarding the prediction accuracy of the method, especially at low frequencies, have been reported over the years. This might be due to deviations from the assumed diffuse-field concept, which is very challenging to implement from an application point of view; also there are no straight-forward ways to characterize the degree of sound-field diffuseness. To investigate the problem and propose solutions, diffuse-field theory and existing standards have been revisited. Using numerical, finite-element-based, modal prediction, their capacity/effectiveness to achieve a diffuse sound field is analyzed by means of a number of descriptors (room-acoustical parameters). Because of time limitations, the concept regarding the design of a reverberation-room structure – i.e. size, shape, etc. – is mainly explored, rather than the internal test-setup arrangements. The prediction accuracy of different room-acoustical parameters are also determined by the reverberation-room standard methods, with respect to both the Sabine and Eyring versions of the diffuse-field formulae, and both in octave and third-octave bands. The minimum approachable frequencies of predictions and the quality of sound-field diffuseness are discussed in terms of the prediction accuracy of different room-acoustical parameters. Considering three room volumes prescribed by standards, and four room shapes for each of the volumes, it has been found that the reverberation room of volume 150 m³, as prescribed by the ISO 354 standard, with the typical dimensional orientation (longest x-dimension/shortest vertical dimension) yields better field diffuseness than the other rooms of different volumes and shapes. To check the possibility of further improvement of the field diffuseness, a number of additional features are integrated into that reverberation room. It is found that the rooms with diffusers and absorbent corner treatments yield improved sound-field diffuseness, while the rooms with diffuse surface reflection yield poor field diffuseness due to the increased surface absorption.

description: The dual condensate is a new QCD phase transition order parameter, which connnects confinement and chiral symmetry breaking as different mass limits. We discuss the relation between the fermion spectrum at general boundary conditions and the dual condensate and show numerical results for the latter from unquenched SU(3) lattice configurations.

description: The new and extreme population of GRBs detected by Fermi-LAT shows several new features in high energy gamma-rays that are providing interesting and unexpected clues into GRB prompt and afterglow emission mechanisms. Over the last 6 years, it has been Swift that has provided the robust dataset of UV/optical and X-ray afterglow observations that opened many windows into components of GRB emission structure. The relationship between the LAT detected GRBs and the well studied, fainter, less energetic GRBs detected by Swift-BAT is only beginning to be explored by multi-wavelength studies. We explore the large sample of GRBs detected by BAT only, BAT and Fermi-GBM, and GBM and LAT, focusing on these samples separately in order to search for statistically significant differences between the populations, using only those GRBs with measured redshifts in order to physically characterize these objects. We disentangle which differences are instrumental selection effects versus intrinsic properties, in order to better understand the nature of the special characteristics of the LAT bursts.
