description: We investigate the error properties of certain galaxy luminosity function (GLF) estimators. Using a cluster expansion of the density field, we show how, for both volume and flux limited samples, the GLF estimates are covariant. The covariance matrix can be decomposed into three pieces: a diagonal term arising from Poisson noise; a sample variance term arising from large-scale structure in the survey volume; an occupancy covariance term arising due to galaxies of different luminosities inhabiting the same cluster. To evaluate the theory one needs: the mass function and bias of clusters, and the conditional luminosity function (CLF). We use a semi-analytic model (SAM) galaxy catalogue from the Millennium run N-body simulation and the CLF of Yang et al. (2003) to explore these effects. The GLF estimates from the SAM and the CLF qualitatively reproduce results from the 2dFGRS. We also measure the luminosity dependence of clustering in the SAM and find reasonable agreement with 2dFGRS results for bright galaxies. However, for fainter galaxies, L0.5. Our theory is in good agreement with these measurements. These strong correlations can be attributed to sample variance. For a flux-limited survey of similar volume, the estimates are only slightly less correlated. We explore the importance of these effects for GLF model parameter estimation. We show that neglecting to take into account the bin-to-bin covariances can lead to significant systematic errors in best-fit parameters.

description: The career of Teresita Arce spans the entire Peruvian entertainment industry in the 20th century. Her full name was Teresita Arce-Bouroncle O’Higgins, and her artist-father may have been of Guatemalan descent. She started to sing and dance in her childhood. Early articles from 1916 describe her as a young lady from a bourgeois theatre company. In 1922 her popularity was growing, and the photographer-painter Luis Ugarte asked her to act in Camino de la venganza/Juanacha/La venganza del indio, the first Peruvian fiction feature film. Arce plays the lead role of Juanacha, a young native woman. The Anglo character McDonald, a hateful mine administrator, is a violent exploiter. He is guilty of the death of the wife of a native miner, the “indio” of the alternative title. The engineer is convicted but manages to escape, taking Juanacha to the capital, where he attempts to seduce her, but without success. In the end, McDonald is assassinated by the widowed miner.

description: Ironically, it is her life before the cinema that has been described in detail: sometimes it is possible to know the exact movements of Nina Agadzhanova-Shutko over a particular day, say, in 1914. It is her work in film that is little known by comparison—all because she was a revolutionary first, and a screenwriter second. The two lives famously intersected in 1925 when she wrote the synopsis for what was to become Battleship Potemkin (1925).

description: A canonical transformation which relates the model of a massive relativistic particle moving near the horizon of an extremal black hole in four dimensions and the conventional conformal mechanics is constructed in two different ways. The first approach makes use of the action-angle variables in the angular sector. The second scheme relies upon integrability of the system in the sense of Liouville.

description: The evolution with time of the abundance of galaxy clusters is very sensitive to the statistical properties of the primordial density perturbations. It can thus be used to probe small deviations from Gaussianity in the initial conditions. The characterization of such deviations would help distinguish between different inflationary scenarios, and provide us with information on physical processes which took place in the early Universe. We have found that when the information contained in the galaxy cluster counts is used to reconstruct the dark energy equation of state as a function of redshift, assuming erroneously that no primordial non-Gaussianities exist, an apparent evolution with time in the effective dark energy equation of state arises,characterized by the appearance of a clear discontinuity.

description: Few professional references and little biographical data exist for this film director. We know only that, supported by her husband who was a wealthy businessman, Alicia Armstrong de Vicuña founded Alistrong Film Company in order to direct El lecho nupcial/The Nuptial Bed (1926), an adaptation of Charles Meré’s melodrama that had been serialized in local newspapers, a widely popular practice at the time. A vigorous promotional campaign in the Diario El Mercurio de Santiago activated during the week preceding the premiere announced it as “a film of great technical accomplishment, worthy of international exhibition, and having a first class work in dramatic and art direction” (1926, n.p.). However, the Diario La Nación review found the film a disappointment: “The adaptation suffers from many defects, and there wasn’t a photogenic selection of the actors. Photography is poor; except for some scenes in the snow that have a lot of light and great relief, the rest is of an exasperating poverty and opacity. The make-up is pathetic. A movie made by inexpert hands…In summary, a good intention failed due to the shortcomings of its film direction” (n.p.). To our knowledge, Alicia Armstrong de Vicuña did not make another motion picture.
Topological implications of inhomogeneity

description: The approximate homogeneity of spatial sections of the Universe is well supported observationally, but the inhomogeneity of the spatial sections is even better supported. Here, we consider the implications of inhomogeneity in dust models for the connectedness of spatial sections at early times. We consider a non-global Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) model designed to match observations, a more general, heuristic model motivated by the former, and two specific, global LTB models. We propose that the generic class of solutions of the Einstein equations projected back in time from the spatial section at the present epoch includes subclasses in which the spatial section evolves (with increasing time) smoothly (i) from being disconnected to being connected, or (ii) from being simply connected to being multiply connected, where the coordinate system is comoving and synchronous. We show that (i) and (ii) each contain at least one exact solution. These subclasses exist because the Einstein equations allow non-simultaneous big bang times. The two types of topology evolution occur over time slices that include significantly post-quantum epochs if the bang time varies by much more than a Planck time. In this sense, it is possible for cosmic topology evolution to be "mostly" classical.

description: The development of low-dose spiral computed tomography (CT) has rekindled hope that effective lung cancer screening might yet be found. Screening is justified when there is evidence that it will extend lives at reasonable cost and acceptable levels of risk. A screening test should detect all extant cancers while avoiding unnecessary workups. Thus optimal screening modalities have both high sensitivity and specificity. Due to the present state of technology, radiologists must opt to increase sensitivity and rely on follow-up diagnostic procedures to rule out the incurred false positives. There is evidence in published reports that computer-aided diagnosis technology may help radiologists alter the benefit-cost calculus of CT sensitivity and specificity in lung cancer screening protocols. This review will provide insight into the current discussion of the effectiveness of lung cancer screening and assesses the potential of state-of-the-art computer-aided design developments.
Reconsidering Rājaśekhara : performance and courtly context in Viddhaśālabhañjikā
Creators: name: Bellefleur, Timothy Earl
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In this paper I discuss historical and contemporary approaches to the 10th century Sanskrit poet and playwright Rājaśekhara (most of which centre upon literary criticism) and propose an alternative approach to his work in which his plays might be examined in terms of their performance and courtly contexts. I then apply this analysis to his play Viddhaśālabhañjikā (The Hollow Statue). By analyzing the performance context focusing on the categories of body, space, and object, I argue that the text puts forward strong evidence for its own performativity, offers a diverse set of indications of how the play is to be staged, and contains a number of noteworthy and unique material characteristics. I then examine the courtly and historical context surrounding the play’s creation to offer suggestions about how its content may have been intended and received, as well as the significance of certain historical characters or events which seem to be embedded in the text. The result is that—rather than being a poorly-constructed, incomprehensible play full of inappropriate moments, depicting a Sanskrit dramatic form in decline—Viddhaśālabhañjikā is in fact quite a novel and complex work of Sanskrit drama that shows a conscious sensitivity to performance concerns and an acute awareness of its place in society.

description: The current optical photolithography technology is approaching the physical barrier to the minimum achievable feature size. To produce smaller devices, new resolution enhancement technologies must be developed. Double-exposure lithography has shown promise as a potential pathway that is attractive because it is much cheaper than double-patterning lithography and can be deployed on existing imaging tools. However, this technology is not possible without the development of new materials with nonlinear response to exposure dose. The performance of existing materials such as reversible contrast enhancement layers (rCELs), and theoretical materials such as intermediate state two-photon (ISTP) and optical threshold layer (OTL) materials in double-exposure applications have been investigated through computer simulation. All three materials yielded process windows in double-exposure mode. OTL materials showed the largest process window (depth of focus (DOF) 0.14 µm, exposure latitude (EL) 5.1%). ISTP materials had the next-largest process window (DOF 0.12 µm, EL 3.2%), followed by the rCEL (0.11 µm, 0.58%). This study is an analysis of the feasibility of using the materials in double-exposure mode.

description: This paper presents a sampled-data approach for the robust control of a single qubit (quantum bit). The required robustness is defined using a sliding mode domain and the control law is designed offline and then utilized online with a single qubit having bounded uncertainties. Two classes of uncertainties are considered involving the system Hamiltonian and the coupling strength of the system-environment interaction. Four cases are analyzed in detail including without decoherence, with amplitude damping decoherence, phase damping decoherence and depolarizing decoherence. Sampling periods are specifically designed for these cases to guarantee the required robustness. Two sufficient conditions are presented for guiding the design of unitary control for the cases without decoherence and with amplitude damping decoherence. The proposed approach has potential applications in quantum error-correction and in constructing robust quantum gates.

In the case of relatedness statements, the group navigated the varied expressions of relatedness required by different library divisions avoiding collisions and blocks to future development. Shared management of controlled vocabularies has required the group to produce robust documentation and develop clear user permissions to prevent alteration of terms as well as a remediation process for safely removing erroneous terms from the system and records. In the pursuit of these projects, we have seen the vital need for software developers and metadata practitioners to work together. Each has a unique perspective of the problems at hand. The developers have created a powerful tool to organize and publish metadata to numerous websites and digital collections. The Hyacinth User Group has developed the policies and communication flows to ensure the application’s diverse group of users can wield that tool effectively and efficiently.

description: Der Anteil von Homeoffice lag in Deutschland vor Beginn der Corona-Pandemie auf einem international vergleichsweise niedrigen Niveau. Mit der vorübergehend eingeführten Pflicht zum Homeoffice im Jahr 2021 hat die Debatte über die Zukunft der Arbeitswelt deutlich an Dynamik gewonnen. Dieser Wochenbericht analysiert die Entwicklung der Nutzung von Homeoffice in Deutschland im Zeitraum von 2014 bis 2022 auf Basis von Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). Ab dem Jahr 2021 zeigt sich ein signifikanter Anstieg, wobei das Niveau auch nach Aufhebung der politischen Maßnahmen nicht auf das Niveau vor der Pandemie zurückfällt. Zwischen den Wirtschaftssektoren bestehen deutliche Unterschiede. Besonders ausgeprägt ist der Anstieg bei höher qualifizierten Beschäftigten in größeren Unternehmen sowie bei Personen mit Kindern. Geschlechterunterschiede sind dabei kaum festzustellen und Unterschiede zwischen Paarhaushalten und Singles treten nur zeitweise auf. Die Analyse weist zudem auf eine höhere Arbeitszufriedenheit und eine leicht verlängerte Arbeitszeit bei Homeoffice hin. Für einen modernen und flexiblen Arbeitsmarkt sollten die während der Pandemie geschaffenen Möglichkeiten zum Homeoffice verstetigt und weiterführende Instrumente entwickelt werden, um die Option zum Homeoffice langfristig zu unterstützen.

description: A large-scale, multi-phase migration of Columbia’s archives into ArchivesSpace was the occasion to brainstorm on flexible, adaptive data analysis and reporting solutions—to think beyond the CSV. Reusable tools built in Python using the Google Sheets API enabled creation of ad hoc, shared reporting interfaces to keep the project on track.
Phase transitions in the neighbourhood of mean field theory
Creators: name: Timmers, Dennis
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: We study systems consisting of interacting spin particles which can have a positive or negative spin. We consider an Ising model and a type of Widom-Rowlinson (WR) model. The interactions between spin particles are regulated by Kac potentials which carry a parameter ɣ. It is known that in the Kac limit, as ɣ tends to zero, models with Kac potentials become mean field theory. Mean field theory is known to exhibit phase transitions. The focus of this work is to prove phase transitions not only in the Kac limit but also near the Kac limit i.e., for ɣ small but strictly positive. Placing the Ising and WR model in a rectangular box with side-length L and periodic boundary conditions defines finite volume Gibbs measures. The infinite volume Gibbs state ν is the limit of the finite volume Gibbs measures as L tends to infinity. A particle system exhibits a phase transition if ν is a mixture of ergodic states. The main achievement of this thesis is the development of a new method to prove phase transitions. We first apply the Kac-Siegert transformation which reformulates the particle system by introducing an auxiliary field. The spin-spin interactions are replaced by interactions of the spin particles with the auxiliary field. The main idea of this dissertation is to study the mean auxiliary field. In principle it should be easier to work with the mean field because, as we will show, it is approximately Gaussian. By a new expansion around mean field theory we prove that for ɣ strictly positive but small the infinite volume Gibbs state for the auxiliary field, for both the Ising and the WR model, is a mixture of two ergodic states. It is shown that this implies that the infinite volume Gibbs state for both the Ising and WR model is a mixture of two ergodic states. One Gibbs state predominantly has positive spin particles, the other Gibbs state predominantly has negative spin particles. The new expansion is related to the Glimm Jaffe Spencer expansion around mean field theory.

description: We present an orbital-resolved density functional theory study on the electronic properties of hydrogen and lithium intercalated graphene grown on the Si face of SiC. Starting from the $(6\sqrt3\times6\sqrt3)R30^{\circ}$ surface reconstruction of the graphene/SiC heterosystem, we find that both H and Li can restore the ideal structural characteristics of the two nonequivalent junction parts (i.e. graphene and the SiC substrate) when inserted at the interface. However, the chemical/electrostatic interactions remain different for the two cases. Hence, H-intercalated epitaxial graphene is subject to a sublattice symmetry-breaking electronic interference that perturbs the Dirac point, whereas Li intercalation gives rise to a highly $n$-doped system due to a nonuniform delocalization of Li charges. Results bring to discussion the role of substrate engineering in epitaxial graphene on SiC.

description: The ability of entangled states to act as resource for teleportation is linked to a property of the fully entangled fraction. We show that the set of states with their fully entangled fraction bounded by a threshold value required for performing teleportation is both convex and compact. This feature enables for the existence of hermitian witness operators the measurement of which could distinguish unknown states useful for performing teleportation. We present an example of such a witness operator illustrating it for different classes of states.

description: We provide an analytical study of the impact of packet skipping and opportunistic network coding on the timely communication of messages through a single network element. In a first step, we consider a single-server queueing system with Poisson arrivals, exponential service times, and a single buffer position. Packets arriving at a network node have a fixed deadline before which they should reach the destination. To preserve server capacity, we introduce a thresholding policy, based on remaining time until deadline expiration, to decide whether to serve a packet or skip its service. The obtained goodput improvement of the system is derived, as well as the operating conditions under which thresholding can enhance performance. Subsequently, we focus our analysis on a system that supports network coding instead of thresholding. We characterize the impact of network coding at a router node on the delivery of packets associated with deadlines. We model the router node as a queueing system where packets arrive from two independent Poisson flows and undergo opportunistic coding operations. We obtain an exact expression for the goodput of the system and study the achievable gain. Finally, we provide an analytical model that considers both network coding and packet skipping, capturing their joint performance. A comparative analysis between the aforementioned approaches is provided.
Addressing the Insider Threat

description: In their guest editors' introduction to the special issue on Insider Threat, Shari Lawrence Pfleeger and Salvatore Stolfo describe a taxonomy of insiders and their unwelcome actions, as well as the need for credible data to document the size and nature of the insider threat. They suggest that the three articles in the special issue shed light not only on how to generate data for further study but also on how to use the data in models that can help evaluate the likely effects of various responses. The introduction ends with a matrix showing the variety of sensible and effective responses that must be sensitive to the organizations, systems, environments, and individuals involved with inappropriate insider behavior.
