description: We propose a general algorithm for computer assisted verification of uniform hyperbolicity for maps which exhibit a robust attractor. The method has been successfully applied to a Poincare map for a system of coupled non-autonomous van der Pol oscillators. The model equation has been proposed by Kuznetsov and the attractor seems to be of the Smale-Williams type.

description: In order to generate credible 0.1-2 μm SEDs, the GAMA project requires many Gigabytes of imaging data from a number of instruments to be re-processed into a standard format. In this paper we discuss the software infrastructure we use, and create self-consistent ugrizYJHK photometry for all sources within the GAMA sample. Using UKIDSS and SDSS archive data, we outline the pre-processing necessary to standardise all images to a common zeropoint, the steps taken to correct for seeing bias across the dataset, and the creation of Gigapixel-scale mosaics of the three 4x12 deg GAMA regions in each filter. From these mosaics, we extract source catalogues for the GAMA regions using elliptical Kron and Petrosian matched apertures. We also calculate Sérsic magnitudes for all galaxies within the GAMA sample using SIGMA, a galaxy component modelling wrapper for GALFIT 3. We compare the resultant photometry directly, and also calculate the r band galaxy LF for all photometric datasets to highlight the uncertainty introduced by the photometric method. We find that (1) Changing the object detection threshold has a minor effect on the best-fitting Schechter parameters of the overall population (M* +/- 0.055mag, α +/- 0.014, Φ* +/- 0.0005 h^3 Mpc^{-3}). (2) An offset between datasets that use Kron or Petrosian photometry regardless of the filter. (3) The decision to use circular or elliptical apertures causes an offset in M* of 0.20mag. (4) The best-fitting Schechter parameters from total-magnitude photometric systems (such as SDSS modelmag or Sérsic magnitudes) have a steeper faint-end slope than photometry dependent on Kron or Petrosian magnitudes. (5) Our Universe's total luminosity density, when calculated using Kron or Petrosian r-band photometry, is underestimated by at least 15%.

Adaptive Confidence Threshold for ByteTrack in Multi-Object Tracking

description: We investigate the application of ByteTrack in the realm of multiple object tracking. ByteTrack, a simple tracking algorithm, enables the simultaneous tracking of multiple objects by strategically incorporating detections with a low confidence threshold. Conventionally, objects are initially associated with high confidence threshold detections. When the association between objects and detections becomes ambiguous, ByteTrack extends the association to lower confidence threshold detections. One notable drawback of the existing ByteTrack approach is its reliance on a fixed threshold to differentiate between high and low-confidence detections. In response to this limitation, we introduce a novel and adaptive approach. Our proposed method entails a dynamic adjustment of the confidence threshold, leveraging insights derived from overall detections. Through experimentation, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our adaptive confidence threshold technique while maintaining running time compared to ByteTrack.

Past, present and future of publicly-funded European Union's fishing access agreements in developing countries
Creators: name: Le Manach, Frédéric
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Since the 19th century, with the expansion and industrialization of extractive industries, maritime jurisdictions have shifted from chiefly open-access to a regime regulated by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This thesis examines fishing access agreements, i.e., legal tools that allow one country to fish in the waters of another one following mutually-agreed terms. The emphasis is on the particular fisheries access agreements funded by EU-taxpayers, and the aim is to test the common belief that their economic, social, and environmental provisions have improved over time vis-à-vis the host countries. To date, only little has been published on this topic, and thus this examination of their provisions is of paramount importance for the policy realm. Chapters 1 and 2 challenge the legal ground of such agreements, which rests on the questionable notion of fisheries 'surplus' that must be made available to other countries according to UNCLOS. Flaws in the estimation of surplus are noted: in most cases, the surplus cannot be calculated due to inaccurate catch estimates, and ceding a potential surplus to foreign countries results in hard-to-justify decreases in domestic catches. Chapter 3 argues that since their inception, the level at which these agreements have been subsidized remained extremely high (around 75%); the remainder (paid by fleets' operators) represented only a small fraction of their gross revenue, highlighting a potential imbalance in allocation of benefits. Finally, Chapter 4 demonstrates that despite advances in most social and environmental provisions, the one regarding the supervision of foreign vessels by observers (arguably the most critical provision of all) has declined. These results beg the question: how legitimate are such access agreements? While they are lauded for their transparency, they appear to remain mostly beneficial to European interests and poorly monitored. Also, due to the fishing expansion occurring in host countries and ongoing international trade reforms, one can only wonder whether such historical 'pay-fish-and-go' agreements still ought to continue.

description: Recently, video text detection, tracking, and recognition in natural scenes are becoming very popular in the computer vision community. However, most existing algorithms and benchmarks focus on common text cases (e.g., normal size, density) and single scenario, while ignoring extreme video text challenges, i.e., dense and small text in various scenarios. In this paper, we establish a video text reading benchmark, named DSText V2, which focuses on Dense and Small text reading challenges in the video with various scenarios. Compared with the previous datasets, the proposed dataset mainly include three new challenges: 1) Dense video texts, a new challenge for video text spotters to track and read. 2) High-proportioned small texts, coupled with the blurriness and distortion in the video, will bring further challenges. 3) Various new scenarios, e.g., Game, Sports, etc. The proposed DSText V2 includes 140 video clips from 7 open scenarios, supporting three tasks, i.e., video text detection (Task 1), video text tracking (Task 2), and end-to-end video text spotting (Task 3). In this article, we describe detailed statistical information of the dataset, tasks, evaluation protocols, and the results summaries. Most importantly, a thorough investigation and analysis targeting three unique challenges derived from our dataset are provided, aiming to provide new insights. Moreover, we hope the benchmark will promise video text research in the community. DSText v2 is built upon DSText v1, which was previously introduced to organize the ICDAR 2023 competition for dense and small video text.

description: Let $F: C^n \rightarrow C^m$ be a polynomial map with $degF=d \geq 2$. We prove that $F$ is invertible if $m = n$ and $\sum^{d-1}_{i=1} JF(α_i)$ is invertible for all $i$, which is trivially the case for invertible quadratic maps. More generally, we prove that for affine lines $L = \{β+ μγ| μ\in C\} \subseteq C^n$ ($γ\ne 0$), $F|_L$ is linearly rectifiable, if and only if $\sum^{d-1}_{i=1} JF(α_i) \cdot γ\ne 0$ for all $α_i \in L$. This appears to be the case for all affine lines $L$ when $F$ is injective and $d \le 3$. We also prove that if $m = n$ and $\sum^{n}_{i=1} JF(α_i)$ is invertible for all $α_i \in C^n$, then $F$ is a composition of an invertible linear map and an invertible polynomial map $X+H$ with linear part $X$, such that the subspace generated by $\{JH(α) | α\in C^n\}$ consists of nilpotent matrices.

description: MHD Turbulence is a critical component of the current paradigms of star formation, particle transport, magnetic reconnection and evolution of the ISM, to name just a few. Progress on this difficult subject is made via numerical simulations and observational studies, however in order to connect these two, statistical methods are required. This calls for new statistical tools to be developed in order to study turbulence in the interstellar medium. Here we briefly review some of the recently developed statistics that focus on characterizing gas compressibility and magnetization and their uses to interstellar studies.

Debwe : responding to social injuries
Creators: name: Czyzewski, Karina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Informed by narrative inquiry and storywork, this qualitative research analyzes the extent to which non-Indigenous frontline workers are engaging with and responding to colonial history. The research aimed to gather and reflect on stories non-Indigenous service providers tell about their practice with Indigenous substance users. Within such stories, do practitioners speak of their role, if any, with regard to historically-determined inequities? Do they engage in hopeful exchanges? Five non-Indigenous practitioners working with Indigenous service users with substance use issues participated in the research. The analysis of the five in-depth interviews was informed by the author’s own mental health and addictions education and practice training, relevant Indigenous and mainstream research, literature, teachings and stories. This thesis contributes to understanding the role of practitioners in response to problematic substance use and social injuries in Canada. Findings suggests that while some social workers are keenly aware of colonial history, ongoing colonial violence and their relevance to work with Indigenous service users, they struggle with how to operationalize that knowledge. In terms of implications for social work, findings highlight ways in which the work of participants is ‘responsive to history,’ responsive to colonial complicity, and suggest considerations and concerns that require further attention. The study contributes to a fuller understanding of the constituents of decolonizing practice—history, cultural humility, etc.—as viewed by non-Indigenous practitioners.

description: This study aims to examine the effects of ambient pressure and injection parameters on the macro-characteristics of air-assisted diesel spray. To illustrate the morphological variation of spray and the formation of vortex ring, the spray diffusion angle was defined. The results indicate that high ambient pressure hinders the radial and axial development of spray and delays the formation of vortex ring. As the ambient pressure increased from 1 bar to 2 bar, the formation of vortex ring was delayed by approximately 0.5 ms. Extending fuel injection duration reduced the spray penetration and increased the far- and near-field spray angles; however, the spray diffusion angle decreased. Increasing fuel injection pressure produces more small-sized droplets owing to enhanced droplet breakup, which decreased the spray penetration and facilitated the lateral diffusion of droplets. Increasing mixture injection duration did not affect the spray penetration; however, the variation of the diffusion angle was slowed down after the mixture injection ended. The insufficient fuel-air interval cannot adequately decelerate the injected fuel droplets, resulting in large penetration and weak lateral diffusion. And there was a critical interval between 1.0 ms − 3.0 ms in this study, after which the fuel droplets could be decelerated sufficiently.

description: Embedding-based Retrieval Models (ERMs) have emerged as a promising framework for large-scale text retrieval problems due to powerful large language models. Nevertheless, fine-tuning ERMs to reach state-of-the-art results can be expensive due to the extreme scale of data as well as the complexity of multi-stages pipelines (e.g., pre-training, fine-tuning, distillation). In this work, we propose the PEFA framework, namely ParamEter-Free Adapters, for fast tuning of ERMs without any backward pass in the optimization. At index building stage, PEFA equips the ERM with a non-parametric k-nearest neighbor (kNN) component. At inference stage, PEFA performs a convex combination of two scoring functions, one from the ERM and the other from the kNN. Based on the neighborhood definition, PEFA framework induces two realizations, namely PEFA-XL (i.e., extra large) using double ANN indices and PEFA-XS (i.e., extra small) using a single ANN index. Empirically, PEFA achieves significant improvement on two retrieval applications. For document retrieval, regarding Recall@100 metric, PEFA improves not only pre-trained ERMs on Trivia-QA by an average of 13.2%, but also fine-tuned ERMs on NQ-320K by an average of 5.5%, respectively. For product search, PEFA improves the Recall@100 of the fine-tuned ERMs by an average of 5.3% and 14.5%, for PEFA-XS and PEFA-XL, respectively.

description: We present self-consistent star formation rates derived through pan-spectral analysis of galaxies drawn from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey. We determine the most appropriate form of dust obscuration correction via application of a range of extinction laws drawn from the literature as applied to Halpha, [O{II}] and UV luminosities. These corrections are applied to a sample of 31,508 galaxies from the GAMA survey at z < 0.35. We consider several different obscuration curves, including those of Milky Way, Calzetti (2001) and Fischera and Dopita (2005) curves and their effects on the observed luminosities. At the core of this technique is the observed Balmer decrement, and we provide a prescription to apply optimal obscuration corrections using the Balmer decrement. We carry out an analysis of the star formation history (SFH) using stellar population synthesis tools to investigate the evolutionary history of our sample of galaxies as well as to understand the effects of variation in the Initial Mass Function (IMF) and the effects this has on the evolutionary history of galaxies. We find that the Fischera and Dopita (2005) obscuration curve with an R_{v} value of 4.5 gives the best agreement between the different SFR indicators. The 2200A feature needed to be removed from this curve to obtain complete consistency between all SFR indicators suggesting that this feature may not be common in the average integrated attenuation of galaxy emission. We also find that the UV dust obscuration is strongly dependent on the SFR.

description: Most often, virtual acoustic rendering employs real-time updated room acoustic simulations to accomplish auralization for a variable listener perspective. As an alternative, we propose and test a technique to interpolate room impulse responses, specifically Ambisonic room impulse responses (ARIRs) available at a grid of spatially distributed receiver perspectives, measured or simulated in a desired acoustic environment. In particular, we extrapolate a triplet of neighboring ARIRs to the variable listener perspective, preceding their linear interpolation. The extrapolation is achieved by decomposing each ARIR into localized sound events and re-assigning their direction, time, and level to what could be observed at the listener perspective, with as much temporal, directional, and perspective context as possible. We propose to undertake this decomposition in two levels: Peaks in the early ARIRs are decomposed into jointly localized sound events, based on time differences of arrival observed in either an ARIR triplet, or all ARIRs observing the direct sound. Sound events that could not be jointly localized are treated as residuals whose less precise localization utilizes direction-of-arrival detection and the estimated time of arrival. For the interpolated rendering, suitable parameter settings are found by evaluating the proposed method in a listening experiment, using both measured and simulated ARIR data sets, under static and time-varying conditions.

description: The electronic and magnetic properties of TiO$_2$, TiO$_{1.75}$, TiO$_{1.75}$N$_{0.25}$, and TiO$_{1.75}$F$_{0.25}$ compounds have been studied by using \emph{ab initio} electronic structure calculations. TiO$_2$ is found to evolve from a wide-band-gap semiconductor to a narrow-band-gap semiconductor to a half-metallic state and finally to a metallic state with oxygen vacancy, N-doping and F-doping, respectively. Present work clearly shows the robust magnetic ground state for N- and F-doped TiO$_2$. The N-doping gives rise to magnetic moment of $\sim$0.4 $μ_B$ at N-site and $\sim$0.1 $μ_B$ each at two neighboring O-sites, whereas F-doping creates a magnetic moment of $\sim$0.3 $μ_B$ at the nearest Ti atom. Here we also discuss the possible cause of the observed magnetic states in terms of the spatial electronic charge distribution of Ti, N and F atoms responsible for bond formation.

description: The paper deals with a theoretical investigation of the peristaltic transport of a physiological fluid in a porous asymmetric channel under the action of a magnetic field. The stream function, pressure gradient and axial velocity are studied by using appropriate analytical and numerical techniques. Effects of different physical parameters such as permeability, phase difference, wave amplitude and magnetic parameter on the velocity, pumping characteristics, streamline pattern and trapping are investigated with particular emphasis. The computational results are presented in graphical form. The results are found to be in perfect agreement with those of a previous study carried out for a non-porous channel in the absence of a magnetic field.

description: We study the lifetime of the persistent spin helix in semiconductor quantum wells with equal Rashba- and linear Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. In order to address the temperature dependence of the relevant spin relaxation mechanisms we derive and solve semiclassical spin diffusion equations taking into account spin-dependent impurity scattering, cubic Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions and the effect of electron-electron interactions. For the experimentally relevant regime we find that the lifetime of the persistent spin helix is mainly determined by the interplay of cubic Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction and electron-electron interactions. We propose that even longer lifetimes can be achieved by generating a spatially damped spin profile instead of the persistent spin helix state.

description: We describe a case study in the use of the Structured Process for Information Campaign Enhancement (SP!CE, version 2.1) to evaluate influence campaigns present in the 2nd round of the Brazilian presidential election in 2022 October. SP!CE is a US-military focused framework for describing both friendly and adversary actions in influence campaigns, and is inter-operable with the Disinformation Analysis and Risk Management (DISARM) framework. The purpose of the case study is to demonstrate how SP!CE can be used to describe influence campaign behaviors. We selected the Brazilian election as the target of the case study as it is known that there were significant amounts of mis- and disinformation present on social media during the campaigns. Our goal was to demonstrate how SP!CE could be applied in such a context, showing how social media content could be aligned with information campaign behaviors and how such an alignment can be used to analyze which mis- and disinformation narratives were in play. Additionally, we aim to provide insights on best practices regarding how to apply the framework in further research. We release the coding and screenshots of the relevant social media posts to support future research.

description: Calineuria sp. A (Figs. 5-8) Material examined. California: Marin Co., Muir Woods, Redwood Creek, 21 June 1985, B. Stark, 1♀ (BPS). Same location, 18 June 1966, R. W. Baumann, 1♂, 1♀ (BYU). Egg. Outline oval, collar absent (Fig. 5). Length ca. 440 μm, equatorial width ca. 372 μm. Chorionic surface without punctations or obvious follicle cell impressions (Figs. 6, 8). Micropylar row subequatorial; micropylar orifices with raised rims (Fig. 7). Comments. Eggs of C. californica (Figs. 1-4) and the three species of Japanese Calineuria (Isobe 1988; 1997) have similar short stalked collars encircled by a low to well developed basal ridge. The chorionic surface is punctate in the Japanese species but smooth or with obscure follicle cell impressions in C. californica and C. sp. A (Figs. 2, 6). The male and female of C. sp. A appear indistinguishable from C. californica in color pattern, subgenital plate shape and aedeagal armature, however, the egg has no collar. These specimens may represent an undescribed species, but a larger sample and a comprehensive study of other Calineuria specimens is needed in order to evaluate its status. Drumming and molecular data may also be desirable.

A theory of program evaluation practices in disability management
Creators: name: Swenson, Patricia Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This grounded theory study developed a theory of evaluation in disability management programs. Disability management involves managing the interactions between health condition impairments and their environments to overcome functional barriers. A sample of four sites was selected each site representing a different paradigm of disability management practices: biomedical, labour, biopsychosocial or insurance. Data collection included semi-structured interviews with 9 participants, including an administrator and practitioner from each site, the Readiness for Organizational Learning and Evaluation Instrument, and documents from each site were analyzed. There were five major findings of the study. 1) Meaningful disability management program evaluation requires insight into how impairment environment interactions are being managed by the program. 2) The presence or absence of collaboration among stakeholders contributes significantly to the variability in disability management and disability management evaluation. 3) Understanding how disability management programs are adapting to contextual influences contributes significantly to an explanation of variability in disability management and disability management evaluation. 4) There are five primary disability management evaluation criteria: return to work, cost savings, timeliness of services, client satisfaction, and client functioning. 5) Disability management evaluation followed a consumer working logic approach, and was predominantly concerned with usefulness of services, and secondarily framed from perspectives of multiple stakeholders. Additionally, disability management programs and their funding organizations are increasingly using technology to develop new data management systems for future use in evaluation.

description: The domain wall solutions of a Ginzburg-Landau non-linear $S^2$-sigma hybrid model are unveiled. There are three types of basic topological walls and two types of degenerate families of composite - one topological, the other non-topological- walls. The domain wall solutions are identified as the finite action trajectories (in infinite time) of a related mechanical system that is Hamilton-Jacobi separable in sphero-conical coordinates. The physical and mathematical features of these domain walls are thoroughly discussed.

description: We present a simple fabrication technique for lateral nanowire wrap-gate devices with high capacitive coupling and field-effect mobility. Our process uses e-beam lithography with a single resist-spinning step, and does not require chemical etching. We measure, in the temperature range 1.5-250 K, a subthreshold slope of 5-54 mV/decade and mobility of 2800-2500 $cm^2/Vs$ -- significantly larger than previously reported lateral wrap-gate devices. At depletion, the barrier height due to the gated region is proportional to applied wrap-gate voltage.

description: Solar supergranulation remains a mystery in spite of decades of intensive studies. Most of the papers about supergranulation deal with its surface properties. Local helioseismology provides an opportunity to look below the surface and see the vertical structure of this convective structure. We present a concept of a (3+1)-D segmentation algorithm capable of recognising individual supergranules in a sequence of helioseismic 3-D flow maps. As an example, we applied this method to the state-of-the-art data and derived descriptive statistical properties of segmented supergranules -- typical size of 20--30 Mm, characteristic lifetime of 18.7 hours, and estimated depth of 15--20 Mm. We present preliminary results obtained on the topic of the three-dimensional structure and evolution of supergranulation. The method has a great potential in analysing the better data expected from the helioseismic inversions, which are being developed.

description: The problem of an electron-hole system interacting through a contact potential and moving in a one-dimensional quantum ring threaded by an Aharonov-Bohm flux is considered, both with respect to the system's energetics as well as its optical properties. An exact analytical expression for the energy spectrum is derived using a straightforward method based on boundary conditions for wavefunctions and their derivatives along the ring. The optical properties of this exciton system, namely the linear dynamic polarizability and absorption spectrum are investigated demonstrating certain unusual features. It is shown, for example, that for special values of the magnetic flux there are energies in the spectrum that correspond to the dark excitonic states.

A multi-layer urban canopy model for neighbourhoods with trees
Creators: name: Krayenhoff, Eric Scott
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Over 50% of the world’s population lives in cities, many of which are hot, polluted, and expanding. The design of cities impacts local meteorology and climate, which affect building energy use and the comfort and health of urban residents. Numerical models that incorporate the relevant urban elements and physical processes can predict these effects and guide management strategies. Addition of vegetation is a key design strategy for moderation of local urban climate, and many cities already boast extensive vegetation. Relative to shorter vegetation, urban trees have unique effects on local climate and pollutant dispersion: they provide shade and shelter, interacting with buildings and streets to alter climate and wind flow. Urban canopy models (UCMs) predict neighbourhood-scale (10² – 10⁴ m) energy exchange and climate of atmospheric layers between and above the buildings. Few UCMs represent the urban canopy with multiple layers, which permit more flexible and process-based representation of canopy physics. Most UCMs neglect vegetation, or incorporate it with a separate model, neglecting interaction between vegetation and built elements. This dissertation develops BEP-Tree, the first multi-layer urban canopy model that explicitly includes trees and their interaction with buildings. It consists of an existing multi-layer UCM, a foliage energy balance model, and two major developments: firstly, a model that distributes solar and infrared radiation amongst tree foliage, road, roof, and wall elements at multiple heights, accounting for radiation ‘trapping’ and mutual shading; secondly, parameterization of building and tree foliage effects on flow, including generation and dissipation of turbulence, drag on the mean wind, and explicit consideration of sheltering. The combined model permits a range of building and tree configurations, and makes possible advanced assessment of impacts of trees on urban climate, air quality, human comfort and building energy loads. BEP-Tree is compared with measurements from the Sunset neighbourhood in Vancouver, Canada. Urban trees channel sensible heat into latent heat (evaporation), shift surface-atmosphere energy exchange upwards, slow canopy wind, and dissipate turbulence, especially if taller than nearby buildings. Effects of trees on canopy thermal climate depend on representation of neighbourhood-scale foliage clumping in radiation versus dynamical processes, and further theoretical advances are required.
