Emerging powers and systemic change : China's impact on global commodity markets
Creators: name: Massot, Pascale
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: How are global economic institutions transformed at times of power transition? Why have some international markets for important raw materials undergone fundamental change in the way they operate as a result of China’s emergence, while other such markets have been more resilient to change? The goal of this dissertation is to explain diverging global outcomes from the dramatic and contemporary expansion of China’s economy. By doing so, I shed new light on the political economy of global markets, why they operate the way they do now, and how they have evolved over time. I trace key variances in China’s effect on global markets to the interaction of Chinese domestic industrial structures and the pre-existing structures of global commodity markets. The structure of key industries within China varies: some are concentrated, some fragmented, some very sensitive to price signals, and others less so. Likewise, the structures of various global commodity markets varied significantly before China’s emergence as a dominant global consumer in the twenty-first century. I argue that transformations in market power relations between consumers and suppliers increase the likelihood of institutional change in global markets. Price trends influence market stakeholders’ preferences for global pricing regimes, but they cannot fully explain the direction of change. Market power – including the capacity to coordinate others and the capacity to extract rent – also motivates behaviour. Combining comparative case analysis of the iron ore, potash and uranium markets with careful process-tracing, I unveil the full picture, from domestic variables to international-level outcomes. I show the tremendous concentration of market power in global markets prior to China’s emergence; that China’s market power, despite its economic size, is in many ways weak; that some of the largest systemic changes have been the result of this Chinese position of weakness; and that China’s emergence has led to marketization, despite it being a state-led hybrid economy. This is a study of institutional resonance and complementarity between global markets and their systemically relevant consumers. More broadly, this dissertation seeks to contribute to ongoing debates about the systemic resilience of global market structures, and the domestic determinants of global economic power.

description: We investigate the detectability of neutralino Dark Matter via direct and indirect searches as well as collider signatures of an $SO(10)$ model with two intermediate scales. We compare the direct Dark Matter detection cross section and the muon flux due to neutralino annihilation in the Sun that we obtain in this model with mSUGRA predictions and with the sensitivity of current and future experiments. In both cases, we find that the detectability improves as the model deviates more from mSUGRA. In order to study collider signatures, we choose two benchmark points that represent the main phenomenological features of the model: a lower value of $|μ|$ and reduced third generation sfermion masses due to extra Yukawa coupling contributions in the Renormalization Group Equations, and increased first and second generation slepton masses due to new gaugino loop contributions. We show that measurements at the LHC can distinguish this model from mSUGRA in both cases, by counting events containing leptonically decaying $Z^0$ bosons, heavy neutral Higgs bosons, or like--sign lepton pairs.

description: We considered Q-state Potts model on Bethe lattice in presence of external magnetic field for Q<2 by means of recursion relation technique. This allows to study the phase transition mechanism in terms of the obtained one dimensional rational mapping. The convergence of Feigenabaum $α$ and $δ$ exponents for the aforementioned mapping is investigated for the period doubling and three cyclic window. We regarded the Lyapunov exponent as an order parameter for the characterization of the model and discussed its dependence on temperature and magnetic field. Arnold tongues analogs with winding numbers w=1/2, w=2/4 and w=1/3 (in the three cyclic window) are constructed for Q<2. The critical temperatures of the model are discussed and their dependence on Q is investigated. We also proposed an approximate method for constructing Arnold tongues via Feigenbaum $δ$ exponent.

description: The development of Austria-Hungary’s combat doctrine started in 1914 at a typical peacetime level, ignoring more or less most of the modern experiences in Africa and Asia in the early 19th century. Even worse, the Imperial and Royal (''k.u.k.'') Armed Forces had to face two tactically modern armies on the eastern and Balkan fronts. High casualties during the first months of the war made a change of combat doctrine inevitable. The change occurred quite quickly, as old-fashioned officers left the battlefields and new tactical experiences took place. This resulted in the transition to static warfare, with linear (1915-1917) and zonal (1917-1918) performance being part of industrial warfare.

In this letter an analytical expression for the magnetostatic interaction, taking into account the geometry of the tubes, has been obtained. This expression allows for the definition of a critical vertical separation for relative magnetization between nanotubes and can be used for tailoring barcode-type nanostructures with prospective applications such as biological separation and transport.

description: Soft law instruments such as recommendations, guidelines or communications do not entail jurisdictional control, but produce important legal and practical effects. The literature on soft law frequently praises these instruments for enhancing governance efficiency through flexible problem solving. On the other hand critiques stress a lack of legitimacy as soft law is typically adopted outside the legislative arena. Yet, relatively little is known about concrete effects it takes at the national level. On the basis of case study evidence from Germany, this chapter shows that despite being non-binding, EU soft law is frequently implemented. Comparing implementation of nine soft law instruments in financial market regulation, social and environmental policy the chapter highlights that actors implement soft EU instruments either in the form of soft or hard law. Efficiency gains are frequently a main driver of implementation, while legitimacy and accountability become a concern where responsibilities are blurred during implementation.
Advances in generative modelling: from component analysis to generative adversarial networks
Creators: name: Moschoglou, Stylianos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: This Thesis revolves around datasets and algorithms, with a focus on generative modelling. In particular, we first turn our attention to a novel, multi-attribute, 2D facial dataset. We then present deterministic as well as probabilistic Component Analysis (CA) techniques which can be applied to multi-attribute 2D as well as 3D data. We finally present deep learning generative approaches specially designed to manipulate 3D facial data. Most 2D facial datasets that are available in the literature, are: a) automatically or semi-automatically collected and thus contain noisy labels, hindering the benchmarking and comparisons between algorithms. Moreover, they are not annotated for multiple attributes. In the first part of the Thesis, we present the first manually collected and annotated database, which contains labels for multiple attributes. As we demonstrate in a series of experiments, it can be used in a number of applications ranging from image translation to age-invariant face recognition. Moving on, we turn our attention to CA methodologies. CA approaches, although being able to only capture linear relationships between data, can still be proven to be efficient in data such as UV maps or 3D data registered in a common template, since they are well aligned. The introduction of more complex datasets in the literature, which contain labels for multiple attributes, naturally brought the need for novel algorithms that can simultaneously handle multiple attributes. In this Thesis, we cover novel CA approaches which are specifically designed to be utilised in datasets annotated with respect to multiple attributes and can be used in a variety of tasks, such as 2D image denoising and translation, as well as 3D data generation and identification. Nevertheless, while CA methods are indeed efficient when handling registered 3D facial data, linear 3D generative models lack details when it comes to reconstructing or generating finer facial characteristics. To alleviate this, in the final part of this Thesis we propose a novel generative framework harnessing the power of Generative Adversarial Networks.

description: Background: Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID), a neurodegenerative disease leading to reduced dopamine production, is a common disease in aged horses. The treatment is based on administration of the dopamine agonist pergolide. This drug has been related to valvular fibrosis in humans, but the cardiovascular effect of this drug has not yet been investigated in horses. Objectives: To determine whether pergolide induces valvular disease in horses or affects the cardiac function. Methods: Standard, tissue Doppler (TDE) and two-dimensional speckle tracking (STE) echocardiography were performed in horses with diagnosed PPID based on adrenocorticotropic hormone dosage. Measurements taken in horses treated with pergolide were compared with those from untreated horses with nonparametric t-tests. Furthermore, measurements from follow-up examinations performed at least three months after the initial exam were compared with a Wilcoxon signed rank test for repeated measurements in each group. Results: Twenty-three horses were included. None of the 12 horses under treatment developed valvular regurgitation. Furthermore, no differences in the measurements of the left ventricular systolic or diastolic function could be seen between the group of horses with treatment and those without treatment. Measurements taken in the follow-up exam did not differ compared to those taken in the initial exam in both groups. Conclusions: No changes of the left ventricular function assessed by TDE and STE could be shown in a small population of horses with confirmed PPID. Treatment with pergolide did not affect the ventricular function nor induce valvular disease.

description: We investigate scattering process in an ultra-high-Q optical microcavity coupled to subwavelength scatterers by introducing "splitting quality" Qsp, a dimensionless parameter defined as the ratio of the scatterer-induced mode splitting to the total loss of the coupled system. A simple relation is introduced to directly estimate the Purcell factor from single-shot measurement of transmission spectrum of scatterer-coupled cavity. Experiments with polystyrene (PS) and gold (Au) nanoparticles, Erbium ions and Influenza A virions show that Purcell-factor-enhanced preferential funneling of scattering into the cavity mode takes place regardless of the scatterer type. Experimentally determined highest Qsp for single PS and Au nanoparticles are 9.4 and 16.19 corresponding to Purcell factors with lower bounds of 353 and 1049, respectively. The highest observed Qsp was 31.2 for an ensemble of Au particles. These values are the highest Qsp and Purcell factors reported up to date.

Optimal market making with competition

description: Competition between market makers, which considers the impacts on trading strat egy of individual and liquidity of whole market resulting from multiple market mak ers competing for order flow and market maker incentives, was not properly studied in the literature of optimal market making problem. This thesis is devoted to the optimal market making problem, with competition between market makers. Three main topics are studied in this thesis. In the first topic, we consider the price competition between market makers. We discuss optimal market marking with price competition and incomplete information, which results in a looping dependence structure among market makers. We solve the problem with the non-zero-sum stochastic differential game approach and char acterize the equilibrium value function with a coupled system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. We prove, do not assume a priori, that the Issac condition is satisfied, which ensures the existence and uniqueness of Nash equilibrium. We also perform some numerical tests that show our model produces tighter bid/ask spread than a benchmark model without price competition and improves market liquidity. In the second topic, we consider market makers competing for the market maker incentive reward proposed by exchange, which depends on their trading volume ranking. We model the competition as a stochastic mean field game, which can be further reduced to a finite state mean field game, whose equilibrium is characterized by a forward backward ODE systems. We numerically solve the equilibrium with the deep neural network approach proposed in our third topic, and perform some numerical tests to compare bid/ask spread under different types market maker in centive reward. It is suggested that the introduction of incentive can reduce the implicit trading cost, and rank-based reward, compared with the linear trading vol ume reward, can produce lower best bid/ask spread. In the third topic, we discuss the deep neural network approach for solving the forward backward ODE system corresponding to a more general class of finite state mean field game, and the game in the second topic is just a special case of it. We prove that the error between true solution and our approximation is linear to the square root of loss function of our deep neural network.

The chemical modification of hyperbranched polyglycerols for improved bioadhesive and hemostatic properties
Creators: name: Wen, Jiying
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Enhancement of hemostasis at the site of wound is a very attractive method to limit bleeding and to reduce the need for blood transfusion support. However, many commercially available bioadhesives and hemostatic agents fail to fulfill the design requirements of efficacy, safety and cost. There is a need to develop novel bioadhesive and hemostatic agents that would overcome these limitations. A library of hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG) based macromolecular structures functionalized with different mole fractions of zwitterionic sulfabetaine and cationic quaternary ammonium ligands were synthesized and characterized. A post-polymerization method was employed that utilized double bond moieties on the HPG backbone for the coupling of thiolcapped functional groups via UV initiated thiol-ene “click” chemistry. The proportions of different ligands were precisely controlled by varying the monomer concentration during the irradiation process. The effect of the polymer on hemostasis has been investigated using whole blood. It was found that polymer with 40% or more positive charged groups caused hemagglutination without causing red blood cell lysis. The quaternary ammonium groups can interact with the negative charged sites on the membranes of erythrocytes, which improves the bioadhesiveness. The zwitterionic sulfabetaine can provide a hydration layer to partially mask the adverse effects that are likely to be caused by cationic moieties on the integrity of cell membrane. The conjugate was also found to be able to enhance platelet aggregation and activation in a concentration and positive charge density dependent manner, which would contribute to the initiation of hemostasis. The polymer-induced hemostasis is obtained by a process independent of the normal iii blood coagulation cascade but dependent on red blood cell agglutination, where the polymers promote hemostasis by linking erythrocytes together to form a lattice to entrap the cells.

description: LS I +61 303 is an exceptionally rare example of a high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) that also exhibits MeV-TeV emission, making it one of only a handful of "gamma-ray binaries". Here we present H-alpha spectra that show strong variability during the 26.5 day orbital period and over decadal time scales. We detect evidence of a spiral density wave in the Be circumstellar disk over part of the orbit. The H-alpha line profile also exhibits a dramatic emission burst shortly before apastron, observed as a redshifted shoulder in the line profile, as the compact source moves almost directly away from the observer. We investigate several possible origins for this red shoulder, including an accretion disk, mass transfer stream, and a compact pulsar wind nebula that forms via a shock between the Be star's wind and the relativistic pulsar wind.

description: The Present research was carried out to analyze the relationship between resiliency against stress and humor and hope for future in collegiate girls. The research is of correlation type. To do the study, the researchers selected 291 female students from Shahid Beheshti University by multiple – cluster sampling method in the year 2011-2012. We used Conner and Davidson’s (2003) resiliency questionnaire to assess resilience; Tursu and Powel’s (1997) multidimensional scale of sense of humor; and Snyder’s (2003) questionnaire to assess hope for future. The data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed through the use of descriptive and inferential statistics, Pearson’s Correlation, and multivariate analysis of variance. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between resiliency against stress and humor, and also between resiliency against stress and hope for future. Also, there was a significant positive relation between resiliency against stress and subscales of hope for future (operating and strategic); and there was a significant positive relation between resiliency against stress and subscales of humor (humor, creative and social use of humor, the use of humor to cope, attitude to funny people and attitude to humor). Furthermore, analysis of the components of hope for future showed that both components of hope for future predict the resiliency against stress of collegians. In general, resiliency against stress plays a role in the development and growth of hope and humor these two factors, in turn, affect the mental health and lifestyle improvement in the students.

description: Recent analyses of datasets acquired at the Brookhaven National Laboratory and at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt both show evidence of pronounced annual variations, suggestive of a solar influence. However, the phases of decay-rate maxima do not correspond precisely to the phase of minimum Sun-Earth distance, as might then be expected. We here examine the hypothesis that decay rates are influenced by an unknown solar radiation, but that the intensity of the radiation is influenced not only by the variation in Sun-Earth distance, but also by a possible North-South asymmetry in the solar emission mechanism. We find that this can lead to phases of decay-rate maxima in the range 0 to 0.183 or 0.683 to 1 (September 6 to March 8) but that, according to this hypothesis, phases in the range 0.183 to 0.683 (March 8 to September 6) are "forbidden." We find that phases of the three datasets here analyzed fall in the allowed range.

description: The Kelle Bidjoka Iron Formations (IFs) occur at the northmost margin of the Neoarchean to Paleoproterozoic Nyong group greenstone belts in SW Cameroon. This contribution presents for the first time the petrographical, geochemical, and geochronological data of the Kelle Bidjoka IFs and associated metaigneous (metatonalite) and metasedimentary (pyroxene gneiss) rocks. The studied IFs form a thin unit of 3.21 m thick and comprise magnetite pyroxene gneiss, garnet-bearing magnetite pyroxene gneiss, pyroxene BIFs, and grunerite BIFs. Petrographic studies have revealed mineral assemblages indicating retrograde amphibolite facies metamorphism. Magnetite pyroxene gneiss and pyroxene BIFs show signatures of both seawater and hydrothermal fluids, with magnetite pyroxene gneiss deposited closer to the vent source. In contrast, garnet-bearing magnetite pyroxene gneiss and grunerite BIFs are devoid of hydrothermal characteristics and show significant crustal contamination. The lack of Ce anomaly in most samples indicates anoxic to suboxic conditions during their deposition. The geochemical characteristics of the associated metaigneous and metasedimentary rocks indicate that Kelle Bidjoka IFs were deposited in a submarine volcanic arc environment, similar to the Algoma-type BIFs. Detrital zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating suggests that the Kelle Bidjoka BIFs were deposited during early Paleoproterozoic (ca. 2423 Ma) and were metamorphosed up to granulite facies during the Eburnean/Transamozian (ca. 2050 Ma) orogeny.

description: We discuss the universal critical behavior in (2+1)-flavor QCD by analyzing lattice data from improved staggered fermions generated by the HotQCD Collaboration. We present recent results from two different lattice discretizations and various lattice spacings ($N_τ=6,8,12$) at fixed physical strange quark mass ($m_s$) but varying light quark mass ($m_l$). We find that the chiral order-parameter, i.e. the chiral condensate, shows the expected universal scaling that is associated with the critical point in the chiral limit already for light quark masses $m_l/m_s \lsim 0.05$. From an analysis of the disconnected chiral susceptibility we estimate a preliminary value of the QCD transition temperature.

description: A systematic investigation along with field measurements were performed at the Mt. Changbai volcanic field on the border between China and North Korea from June to September in 2016, with respect to geological sources of degassed CO2 and its relationship with fluids between the monogenetic and polygenetic volcanoes. Our estimates indicate that the flux of CO2 degassing from the polygenetic and monogenetic volcanoes in the Mt. Changbai volcanic field is 1.8 × 105 t/yr, which corresponds to the middle level of CO2 output from volcanic fields in the world. The flux of CO2 degassing from the soil shows a decreasing trend with distance from the Tianchi polygenetic volcanic caldera. Temporal variations of contrast value in the Tianchi polygenetic volcanic caldera and peripheral areas are more conformable than those in the monogenetic volcanoes. Based on the analysis to the soil CO2 fluxes, we propose that monitoring CO2 fluxes in the polygenetic volcanic caldera and peripheral areas would provide useful information about the local volcanic activity, especially in dormant volcanoes like the Tianchi polygenetic volcanic caldera. Other CO2 flux measurement sites not only related to the Tianchi caldera area should also be selected for future volcanic monitoring.

On the possibility of a small nuclear reactor application for energy supply of isolated communities in Northern Canada
Creators: name: Plehanov, Aleksandr Vladimirovich

Year: 2015

description: Isolated northern communities in Canada are currently satisfying their needs in energy using ineffective and environmentally unfriendly diesel generators. There has been long desire to find an alternative solution which would provide these settlements with electrical energy and heat inexpensively and with the least environmental impact. One possibility is to adopt a well-developed nuclear submarine reactor technology which has been used for the past 60 years. Most modern nuclear submarines use uranium-235 enriched up to 98% and allow operating the nuclear reactor without refueling for up to 25 years. The second option which offers many benefits, such as abundance and availability of cheaper fuel, greater anti-proliferation benefits as well as better safety, is the thorium option, a new approach, which has not been extensively researched and tested yet but which could offer attractive benefits once implemented. This thesis investigates a possibility of a small nuclear reactor application based on the research in the field of nuclear submarine technology for peaceful purposes and molten salt reactor experiment conducted by the Oak Ridge Lab, and compares uranium and thorium options with the currently used diesel generator technology. Fossil fuel scarcity and greenhouse effect of their use require finding alternative energy sources, and, nuclear technology provides such opportunity, especially, when highly enriched uranium is not available or difficult to obtain due to proliferation concerns. Thorium which is abundant, and is not currently in high demand or use, could be a great opportunity for the following reasons: (1) thorium is significantly cheaper and requires less processing than uranium; (2) thorium fuel could be used as a circulating liquid mixed with molten fluoride salts instead of using solid fuel elements which need special preparation; (3) the fluoride salts can be used as a reactor coolant due to their better chemical properties.

description: Sector decomposition in its practical aspect is a constructive method used to evaluate Feynman integrals numerically. We present a new program performing the sector decomposition and integrating the expression afterwards. The program can be also used in order to expand Feynman integrals automatically in limits of momenta and masses with the use of sector decompositions and Mellin--Barnes representations. The program is parallelizable on modern multicore computers and even on multiple computers. Also we demonstrate some new numerical results for four-loop massless propagator master integrals.
COMPASS Hadron Spectroscopy -- Final states involving neutrals and kaons

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The COMPASS experiment at CERN is well designed for light-hadron spectroscopy with emphasis on the detection of new states, in particular the search for $J^{PC}$-exotic states and glueballs. We have collected data with 190 GeV/c charged hadron beams on a liquid hydrogen and nuclear targets in 2008/09. The spectrometer features good coverage by electromagnetic calorimetry and a RICH detector further provides $π$ / $K$ separation, allowing for studying final states involving neutral particles like $π^0$ or $η$ as well as hidden strangeness, respectively. We discuss the status of ongoing analyses with specific focus on diffractively produced $(π^0π^0π)^{-}$ as well as $(K\bar{K}π)^{-}$ final states.

description: The Kelle Bidjoka Iron Formations (IFs) occur at the northmost margin of the Neoarchean to Paleoproterozoic Nyong group greenstone belts in SW Cameroon. This contribution presents for the first time the petrographical, geochemical, and geochronological data of the Kelle Bidjoka IFs and associated metaigneous (metatonalite) and metasedimentary (pyroxene gneiss) rocks. The studied IFs form a thin unit of 3.21 m thick and comprise magnetite pyroxene gneiss, garnet-bearing magnetite pyroxene gneiss, pyroxene BIFs, and grunerite BIFs. Petrographic studies have revealed mineral assemblages indicating retrograde amphibolite facies metamorphism. Magnetite pyroxene gneiss and pyroxene BIFs show signatures of both seawater and hydrothermal fluids, with magnetite pyroxene gneiss deposited closer to the vent source. In contrast, garnet-bearing magnetite pyroxene gneiss and grunerite BIFs are devoid of hydrothermal characteristics and show significant crustal contamination. The lack of Ce anomaly in most samples indicates anoxic to suboxic conditions during their deposition. The geochemical characteristics of the associated metaigneous and metasedimentary rocks indicate that Kelle Bidjoka IFs were deposited in a submarine volcanic arc environment, similar to the Algoma-type BIFs. Detrital zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating suggests that the Kelle Bidjoka BIFs were deposited during early Paleoproterozoic (ca. 2423 Ma) and were metamorphosed up to granulite facies during the Eburnean/Transamozian (ca. 2050 Ma) orogeny.
