description: The aim of this work is to present the optimization of the gate trench module for use in vertical GaN devices in terms of cleaning process of the etched surface of the gate trench, thickness of gate dielectric and magnesium concentration of the p-GaN layer. The analysis was carried out by comparing the main DC parameters of devices that differ in surface cleaning process of the gate trench, gate dielectric thickness, and body layer doping. . On the basis of experimental results, we report that: (i) a good cleaning process of the etched GaN surface of the gate trench is a key factor to enhance the device performance, (ii) a gate dielectric >35-nm SiO2 results in a narrow distribution for DC characteristics, (iii) lowering the p-doping in the body layer improves the ON-resistance (RON). Gate capacitance measurements are performed to further confirm the results. Hypotheses on dielectric trapping/detrapping mechanisms under positive and negative gate bias are reported.

Lower to middle Jurassic (Pliensbachian to Bajocian) stratigraphy and Pliensbachian Ammonite fauna of the northern Spatsizi area, North Central British Columbia
Creators: name: Thomson, Robert Charles
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The lithostratigraphy and Pliensbachian ammonite fauna of a sequence of Pliensbachian to Bajocian sedimentary rocks, informally referred to here as the Spatsizi Group, from the Spatsizi map-area (104 H) in north-central British Columbia are examined in this thesis. Twenty Five species of ammonites representing fifteen genera from Pliensbachian rocks of the Spatsizi Group are described and their stratigraphic ranges in the thesis area determined. The Spatsizi fauna is comprised primarily of ammonites of Tethyan aspect and also contains elements endemic to the East Pacific faunal realm. The Spatsizi fauna is located on the northern half of the Stikine terrane of the western Cordilleran eugeocline, and is surrounded by biogeographically related faunas containing ammonites of Boreal affinity in addition to Tethyan and East Pacific forms, indicating that northern Stikinia occupied a position within the mixed Boreal/Tethyan zone of the eastern Pacific region during the Pliensbachian. Subsequent tectonic displacement of Stikinia transported it northward to its present position. The Spatsizi Group is informally defined and is divided into five informal formations; the Joan, Eaglenest Gladys, Groves, and Walker Formations. Each formation reflects deposition in a different sedimentary environment affected by varying degrees of volcanic (epiclastic or pyroclastic) input Rocks of the Spatsizi Group represent the basinward sedimentary equivalents to the coeval Toodoggone volcanics that formed along the southern flank of the Stikine Arch. Facies transitions from the Stikine Arch in the north to the sedimentary basin in the south are best developed in sediments deposited during Pliensbachian and Early Toarcian times, when epiclastic sands and conglomerates accumulating on the southern flank of the arch graded southward into silts and muds in the basin. Two phases of non-coaxial deformation folded and faulted the rocks in the thesis map area. Deformation was probably related to interaction between the Stikinia and the North American continental margin during accretion.

description: We revisit the formulation of the principle of minimal flavor violation (MFV) in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, both at moderate and large tan(beta), and with or without new CP-violating phases. We introduce a counting rule which keeps track of the highly hierarchical structure of the Yukawa matrices. In this manner, we are able to control systematically which terms can be discarded in the soft SUSY breaking part of the Lagrangian. We argue that for the implementation of this counting rule, it is convenient to introduce a new basis of matrices in which both the squark (and slepton) mass terms as well as the trilinear couplings can be expanded. We derive the RGE for the MFV parameters and show that the beta functions also respect the counting rule. For moderate tan(beta), we provide explicit analytic solutions of these RGE and illustrate their behaviour by analyzing the neighbourhood (also switching on new phases) of the SPS-1a benchmark point. We then show that even in the case of large tan(beta), the RGE remain valid and that the analytic solutions obtained for moderate tan(beta) still allow us to understand the most important features of the running of the parameters, as illustrated with the help of the SPS-4 benchmark point.

description: The derivation of conservation laws and invariant functions is an essential procedure for the investigation of nonlinear dynamical systems. In this study we consider a two-field cosmological model with scalar fields defined in the Jordan frame. In particular we consider a Brans-Dicke scalar field theory and for the second scalar field we consider a quintessence scalar field minimally coupled to gravity. For this cosmological model we apply for the first time a new technique for the derivation of conservation laws without the application of variational symmetries. The results are applied for the derivation of new exact solutions. The stability properties of the scaling solutions are investigated and criteria for the nature of the second field according to the stability of these solutions are determined.

description: Anti-unification in logic programming refers to the process of capturing common syntactic structure among given goals, computing a single new goal that is more general called a generalization of the given goals. Finding an arbitrary common generalization for two goals is trivial, but looking for those common generalizations that are either as large as possible (called largest common generalizations) or as specific as possible (called most specific generalizations) is a non-trivial optimization problem, in particular when goals are considered to be \textit{unordered} sets of atoms. In this work we provide an in-depth study of the problem by defining two different generalization relations. We formulate a characterization of what constitutes a most specific generalization in both settings. While these generalizations can be computed in polynomial time, we show that when the number of variables in the generalization needs to be minimized, the problem becomes NP-hard. We subsequently revisit an abstraction of the largest common generalization when anti-unification is based on injective variable renamings, and prove that it can be computed in polynomially bounded time.

description: We study a dynamics of ultracold Fermi-gases near the unitary limit in the framework of Effective Field Theory. It is shown that, while one can obtain a reasonable description of the universal proportionality constant both in the narrow and the broad Feshbach resonance limits, the reguirement of the reparametrisation invariance leads to appearance of the three body forces needed to cancel the otherwise arising off-shell uncertainties. The size of the unsertainties is estimated.

We further investigate the effect that the addition of a random component, v_rms, into the particle velocity field has on the structure of halos. We adopted as a fiducial model the Lambda Warm Dark Matter cosmology with a non-thermal sterile neutrino mass of 0.5 keV. The filtering mass corresponds then to M_f = 2.6x10^12 M_sun/h. Halos of masses close to M_f were simulated with several million of particles. The results show that, on one hand, the inner density slope of these halos (at radii

We construct various kinds of string solutions, including the point-like, circular, folded and pulsating strings. For the circular and folded strings, we figure out their field theory dual operators. In particular, we discuss the anomalous dimensions of the corresponding operators from decoupled SU(2)*SU(2) spin chain. We find that in the large angular momentum limit, the field theory and string theory results are in very good agreement up to an interpolating function of coupling constant.

description: The iDSI Reference Case is a principle-based approach to guide the planning, conduct and reporting of economic evaluations. It provides decision makers with relevant and reliable ways to determine the likely implications of implementing a treatment or health service in specific contexts. Its primary focus is on meeting the informational needs of decision makers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It builds on the methods and approaches of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the UK, the Health Intervention and Technology Assessment Program (HITAP) in Thailand and the World Health Organization, the iDSI Reference Case helps countries to calculate value for money and to consistently spend their health budgets effectively.

Some of the biggest decisions that must be made within health systems are on how to spend the health budget. These unavoidable decisions will have large consequences. Understanding the expected clinical effect of differing health treatments and services, and how much it will cost to achieve that clinical effect, is called determining the value. When people know the value of the different options, decision making becomes easier and money can be spent more effectively on health.

description: A system consisting of two parallel coupled channels where particles in one of them follow the rules of totally asymmetric exclusion processes (TASEP) and in another one move as in symmetric simple exclusion processes (SSEP) is investigated theoretically. Particles interact with each other via hard-core exclusion potential, and in the asymmetric channel they can only hop in one direction, while on the symmetric lattice particles jump in both directions with equal probabilities. Inter-channel transitions are also allowed at every site of both lattices. Stationary state properties of the system are solved exactly in the limit of strong couplings between the channels. It is shown that strong symmetric couplings between totally asymmetric and symmetric channels lead to an effective partially asymmetric simple exclusion process (PASEP) and properties of both channels become almost identical. However, strong asymmetric couplings between symmetric and asymmetric channels yield an effective TASEP with nonzero particle flux in the asymmetric channel and zero flux on the symmetric lattice. For intermediate strength of couplings between the lattices a vertical cluster mean-field method is developed. This approximate approach treats exactly particle dynamics during the vertical transitions between the channels and it neglects the correlations along the channels. Our calculations show that in all cases there are three stationary phases defined by particle dynamics at entrances, at exits or in the bulk of the system, while phase boundaries depend on the strength and symmetry of couplings between the channels. Extensive Monte Carlo computer simulations strongly support our theoretical predictions.

description: This article examines the negative presumptions that women who practise in intellectual property (IP) face vis-à-vis their clients. Analysing interviews with 107 practitioners, the research shows that it is particularly women who work at the interface between law and science and engineering who appear to face the most bias. Women working in patents spoke about negative presumptions more than women in trade marks or copyright. We attribute this to a convergence of biases against women in law and women in science/engineering in patent practice. Moreover, within patent practice, women in engineering and physics spoke about negative presumptions from clients more than women in chemistry, or women in biotechnology and biochemistry. This positively correlates to the degree to which those areas of science/engineering are dominated by men. The article concludes with arguments that it is important to address biases against women in IP, as these biases can affect whether they remain in IP practice, and ultimately what gains IP protection and what is innovated.

description: Floquet engineering of isolated systems is often based on the concept of the effective time-independent Floquet Hamiltonian, which describes the stroboscopic evolution of a periodically driven quantum system in steps of the driving period and which is routinely obtained analytically using high-frequency expansions. The generalization of these concepts to open quantum systems described by a Markovian master equation of Lindblad type turns out to be non-trivial: On the one hand, already for a two-level system two different phases can be distinguished, where the effective time-independent Floquet generator (describing the stroboscopic evolution) is either again Markovian and of Lindblad type or not. On the other hand, even though in the high-frequency regime a Lindbladian Floquet generator (Floquet Linbladian) is numerically found to exist, this behaviour is, curiously, not correctly reproduced within analytical high-frequency expansions. Here, we demonstrate that a proper Floquet Lindbladian can still be obtained from a high-frequency expansion, when treating the problem in a suitably chosen rotating frame. Within this approach, we can then also describe the transition to a phase at lower driving frequencies, where no Floquet Lindbladian exists, and show that the emerging non-Markovianity of the Floquet generator can entirely be attributed to the micromotion of the open driven system.

description: Der vorliegende Essay betrachtet den aktuellen Zulauf zu rechten Politikangeboten aus Sicht einer kritischen Stadtforschung. Mit Blick auf demographische Prozesse – insbesondere Binnenmigration – reflektiert er die These, dass rechte Ideen und Gruppierungen vor allem in ländlichen ‚abgehängten Gebieten‘ eine hohe Zustimmung finden, während als ‚kosmopolitisch‘ und ‚modernisierungsbefürwortend‘ beschriebene großstädtische Lebenswelten dafür weniger empfänglich seien. Unter Bezugnahme auf deutsche wie amerikanische Debatten wird dafür plädiert, die Verräumlichung politischer Einstellung stärker dynamisch und relational zu konzeptualisieren und ein Augenmerk auf kleinräumige Differenzierungen innerhalb von Städten und Regionen zu richten. Damit gerät das emanzipatorische Potential des Munizipalen als politische Bezugsgröße jenseits des Nationalstaates in den Blick.

description: We study some functionals associated with a process driven by a fractional boundary value problem (FBVP for short). By FBVP we mean a Cauchy problem with boundary condition written in terms of a fractional equation, that is an equation involving time-fractional derivative in the sense of Caputo. We focus on lifetimes and additive functionals characterizing the boundary conditions. We show that the corresponding additive functionals are related to the fractional telegraph equations. Moreover, the fractional order of the derivative gives a unified condition including the elastic and the sticky cases among the others.

description: Transit and radial velocity models were applied to archival data in order to examine exoplanet properties, in particular for the recently discovered super-Earth GJ 357b. There is however considerable variation in estimated model parameters across the literature, and especially their uncertainty estimates. This applies even for relatively uncomplicated systems and basic parameters. Some published accuracy values thus appear highly over-optimistic. We present our reanalyses with these variations in mind and specify parameters with appropriate confidence intervals for the exoplanets Kepler-1b, -2b, -8b, -12b, -13b, -14b, -15b, -40b \& -77b and 51 Peg. More sophisticated models in WinFitter, EXOFAST, and DACE were applied, leading to mean planet densities for Kepler-12b, -14b, -15b, and -40b as: $0.11 \pm 0.01$, $4.04 \pm 0.58$, $0.43 \pm 0.05$, and $1.19^{+0.31}_{-0.36}$ g per cc respectively. We confirm a rocky mean density for the Earth-like GJ357b, although we urge caution about the modelling given the low S/N data. We cannot confidently specify parameters for the other two proposed planets in this system.

description: Numerical studies indicate that uncertainties in the treatment of baryonic physics can affect predictions for shear power spectra at a level that is significant for forthcoming surveys such as DES, SNAP, and LSST. Correspondingly, we show that baryonic effects can significantly bias dark energy parameter measurements. Eliminating such biases by neglecting information in multipoles beyond several hundred leads to weaker parameter constraints by a factor of approximately 2 to 3 compared with using information out to multipoles of several thousand. Fortunately, the same numerical studies that explore the influence of baryons indicate that they primarily affect power spectra by altering halo structure through the relation between halo mass and mean effective halo concentration. We explore the ability of future weak lensing surveys to constrain both the internal structures of halos and the properties of the dark energy simultaneously as a first step toward self calibrating for the physics of baryons. This greatly reduces parameter biases and no parameter constraint is degraded by more than 40% in the case of LSST or 30% in the cases of SNAP or DES. Modest prior knowledge of the halo concentration relation greatly improves even these forecasts. Additionally, we find that these surveys can constrain effective halo concentrations near m~10^14 Msun/h and z~0.2 to better than 10% with shear power spectra alone. These results suggest that inferring dark energy parameters with measurements of shear power spectra can be made robust to baryonic effects and may simultaneously be competitive with other methods to inform models of galaxy formation.

description: We recently developed SLM, a joint speech and language model, which fuses a pretrained foundational speech model and a large language model (LLM), while preserving the in-context learning capability intrinsic to the pretrained LLM. In this paper, we apply SLM to speech dialog applications where the dialog states are inferred directly from the audio signal.
 Task-oriented dialogs often contain domain-specific entities, i.e., restaurants, hotels, train stations, and city names, which are difficult to recognize, however, critical for the downstream applications. Inspired by the RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) paradigm, we propose a retrieval augmented SLM (ReSLM) that overcomes this weakness. We first train a speech retriever to retrieve text entities mentioned in the audio. The retrieved entities are then added as text inputs to the underlying SLM to bias model predictions. We evaluated ReSLM on speech MultiWoz task (DSTC-11 challenge), and found that this retrieval augmentation boosts model performance, achieving joint goal accuracy (38.6% vs 32.7%), slot error rate (20.6% vs 24.8%) and ASR word error rate (5.5% vs 6.7%). While demonstrated on dialog state tracking, our approach is broadly applicable to other speech tasks requiring contextual information or domain-specific entities, such as contextual ASR with biasing capability.

Allerdings stellt die Erforschung von sozialen Prozessen in Reallaboren noch Neuland dar, auf dem noch viele offene Fragen besonders hinsichtlich der gemeinsamen Wissensproduktion auszuhandeln sind. Am Beispiel eines konkreten Forschungsprojektes zur kooperativen Freiraumentwicklung in Ankunftsquartieren fragen wir für die kritische Stadtforschung, mit welchen theoretischen Vorannahmen, in welchen Machtkonstellationen und mit welchen Zielsetzungen Wissen in Reallaboren produziert wird. Diese Fragen diskutieren wir anhand der Debatten um eine kritische Wissensproduktion und die Gerechte Stadt. Der Artikel zeigt auf, dass Reallabore zwar stark in bestimmten förderpolitischen Strukturen verhaftet sind und damit die Gefahr der politischen Vereinnahmung besteht, sich aber dennoch Chancen eröffnen, mit ihnen zu einer kritischen Wissensproduktion und einer gerechten Stadtentwicklung beizutragen.

description: We pursue a program to confront observations with inhomogeneous extensions of the FLRW metric. The main idea is to test the Copernican principle rather than assuming it a priori. We consider the $Λ$CDM model endowed with a spherical $Λ$LTB inhomogeneity around us, that is, we assume isotropy and test the hypothesis of homogeneity. We confront the $Λ$LTB model with the latest available data from CMB, BAO, type Ia supernovae, local $H_0$, cosmic chronometers, Compton y-distortion and kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. We find that these data can constrain tightly this extra inhomogeneity, almost to the cosmic variance level: on scales $\gtrsim 100$ Mpc structures can have a small non-Copernican effective contrast of just $δ_L \sim 0.01$. Furthermore, the constraints on the standard $Λ$CDM parameters are not weakened after marginalizing over the parameters that model the local structure, to which we assign ignorance priors. In other words, dropping the Copernican principle assumption does not imply worse constraints on the cosmological parameters. This positive result confirms that the present and future data can be meaningfully analyzed within the framework of inhomogeneous cosmology.

description: We study junctions of single-channel spinless Luttinger liquids using bosonisation. We generalize earlier studies by allowing the junction to be superconducting and find new charge non-conserving low energy fixed points. We establish the existence of $g \leftrightarrow 1/g$ duality (where $g$ is the Luttinger Liquid parameter) between the charge conserving (normal) junction and the charge non-conserving (superconducting) junction by evaluating and comparing the scaling dimensions of various operators around the fixed points in normal and superconducting sectors of the theory. For the most general two-wire junction, we show that there are two conformally invariant one-parameter families of fixed points which are also connected by a duality transformation. We also show that the stable fixed point for the two-wire superconducting junction corresponds to the situation where the crossed Andreev reflection is perfect between the wires. For the three-wire junction, we study, in particular, the superconducting analogs of the chiral, $D_P$ and the disconnected fixed points obtained earlier in the literature in the context of charge conserving three-wire junctions. We show that these fixed points can be stabilized for $g < 1$ (repulsive electrons) within the superconducting sector of the theory which makes them experimentally relevant.

description: The Navier-Stokes equations generate an infinite set of generalized Lyapunov exponents defined by different ways of measuring the distance between exponentially diverging perturbed and unperturbed solutions. This set is demonstrated to be similar, yet different, from the generalized Lyapunov exponent that provides moments of distance between two fluid particles below the Kolmogorov scale. We derive rigorous upper bounds on dimensionless Lyapunov exponent of the fluid particles that demonstrate the exponent's decay with Reynolds number $Re$ in accord with previous studies. In contrast, terms of cumulant series for exponents of the moments have power-law growth with $Re$. We demonstrate as an application that the growth of small fluctuations of magnetic field in ideal conducting turbulence is hyper-intermittent, being exponential in both time and Reynolds number. We resolve the existing contradiction between the theory, that predicts slow decrease of dimensionless Lyapunov exponent of turbulence with $Re$, and observations exhibiting quite fast growth. We demonstrate that it is highly plausible that a pointwise limit for the growth of small perturbations of the Navier-Stokes equations exists.

Shot noise in the interacting resonance level model

description: The shot noise power and the Fano factor of a spinless resonant level model is calculated. The Coulomb interaction which in this model acts between the lead electron and the impurity is considered in the first order approximation. The logarithmic divergencies which appeared in the expressions for shot noise and the transport current are removed by renormalization group analysis. It is shown that Keldysh technique gives an adequate description of perturbation theory results. By passing to the bosonized form of the resonance model it is proven that in the strong interaction limit the tunnelling becomes irrelevant and decreases.

Geology and geochronometry of the Cogburn creek-settler creek area, northwest of Harrison lake, B.C.
Creators: name: Gabites, Janet Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Metamorphic supracrustal rocks in the Cogburn Creek area belong to the Cogburn Creek Group and the Settler Schist. These are separated by a melange zone, which has been correlated with the Shuksan thrust zone and contains Baird Metadiorite and ultramafic rocks, and intruded by the Spuzzum batholith and minor younger granodiorite. Three phases of folding are recognised in the schist units: f₁ is associated with contact metamorphism that preceded regional metamorphism, f₂ produced pervasive mica foliation and tight folds, and kinks and broad warps are associated with f₃, which was locally pervasive approaching pluton margins. Mineral assemblages indicate increasing metamorphic grade from west to east from garnet to garnet-staurolite, andesine-epidote amphibolite, staurolite-kyanite, fibrolite, and coarse sillimanite zones. Metamorphic conditions vary from 300 to 500 °C in Cogburn Creek Group rocks to 550 to 700 °C at 6 to 8 kbar for pelites in the Settler Schist. Conditions deduced for metamorphism of the ultramafic rocks are consistent with those for enclosing pelitic schists. Geochronometry indicates that the Baird Metadiorite is probably Precambrian and equivalent to the Yellow Aster Complex of the North Cascade Mountains, Washington. The Cogburn Creek Group was dated as Late Paleozoic (296 ± 58 Ma, Rb-Sr WR isochron), and is provisionally correlated with the Bridge River Group. The protolith of the Settler Schist was deposited around 210 ± 27 Ma (Rb-Sr WR isochron), and it contains 2450 ± 230 Ma detrital zircon indicating partial ultimate derivation from Precambrian basement rocks. The Spuzzum batholith was intruded at 95 to 110 Ma, before the culmination of regional metamorphism. Rb-Sr biotite dates from all units and K-Ar Hb isochron dates in the range 66 to 88 Ma are metamorphic cooling dates. The youngest intrusive rocks, granodiorite dated at 32 ± 2 Ma to 42 ± 14 Ma, postdate the regional metamorphic and intrusive event. Movement on the Shuksan Thrust is bracketed as Albian, after regional blueschist metamorphism of the Shuksan Suite in the North Cascade Mountains and before intrusion of Spuzzum batholith and regional metamorphism east of Harrison Lake.

description: Stadtentwicklung in der afghanischen Hauptstadt Kabul nach der westlichen Intervention ist gekennzeichnet von der Verschränkung einer durch Staatsaufbau nach westlichem Vor bild gesteuerten Logik und der sich in diesem Rahmen ausbreitenden Aneignung des städtischen Raumes durch ganz verschiedene Akteure. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird das Ziel verfolgt, stadträumliche Entwicklungsprozesse in Kabul nach 2001 genauer in den Blick zu nehmen und mit jüngeren Debatten um urbane Informalität im globalen Süden zu verknüpfen. Dabei werden verschiedene, aufeinander bezogene Regime der Stadtplanung und ihre Raumproduktionen unter der Linse urbaner Informalität genauer betrachtet. Es soll herausgearbeitet werden, wie eine Herstellung und Zementierung städtischer Ungleichheit forciert wird, wie bestimmte soziale Dispositionen und Praktiken im Kontext von Informalität charakterisiert werden und wie urbane Informalität gezielt als Ressource zur Macht- und Wohlstandsaneignung eingesetzt werden kann.
A test of the CPL parameterization for rapid dark energy equation of state transitions

description: We test the robustness and flexibility of the Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) parameterization of the Dark Energy equation of state $w(z)=w_0+w_a \frac{z}{1+z}$ in recovering a four-parameter step-like fiducial model. We constrain the parameter space region of the underlying fiducial model where the CPL parameterization offers a reliable reconstruction. It turns out that non negligible biases leak into the results for recent ($z<2.5$) rapid transitions, but that CPL yields a good reconstruction in all other cases. The presented analysis is performed with supernova Ia data as forecasted for a space mission like SNAP/JDEM, combined with future expectations for the CMB shift parameter $R$ and the BAO parameter $A$.

description: We conduct an ultraviolet (HST and FUSE) spectroscopic survey of HI (Lyman lines) and seven metal ions (OVI, NV, CIV, CIII, SiIV, SiIII, FeIII) in the low-redshift intergalactic medium (IGM) at z<0.4. We analyzed 650 Lya absorbers over redshift pathlength Delta z=5.27, detecting numerous absorbers: 83 OVI systems, 39 CIII, 53 SiIII, 24 CIV, 24 NV, and so on. Our survey yields distributions in column density and estimates of the IGM baryon content and metallicities of C, N, O in the IGM. In the low-z IGM, we have accounted for ~40% of the baryons: 30% in the photoionized Lya forest and 10% in the (T=10^5-6 K) warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) traced by OVI. Statistical metallicities of C, N, O ions are consistent with the canonical (z=0) value of 10% solar, with considerable scatter. Improved statistics for weak OVI absorbers allows us to estimate Omega_WHIM/Omega_b=0.073+-0.008 down to logN_OVI=13.4. NV absorption is well-correlated with OVI and both ions show similarly steep power-law indices dN/dz N^-beta with beta_OVI beta_NV 2 while beta_HI=1.7. We conclude that OVI and NV are reliable tracers of the portion of the WHIM at T=10^5-6 K. CIV may be present in both collisional and photoionized phases; N_CIV correlates poorly with both N_HI and N_OVI and beta_HI
