description: Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a widely used technique in which the state of the simulator is updated by events happening at discrete points in time (hence the name). DES is used to model and analyze many kinds of systems, including computer architectures, communication networks, street traffic, and others. Parallel and Distributed Simulation (PADS) aims at improving the efficiency of DES by partitioning the simulation model across multiple processing elements, in order to enabling larger and/or more detailed studies to be carried out. The interest on PADS is increasing since the widespread availability of multicore processors and affordable high performance computing clusters. However, designing parallel simulation models requires considerable expertise, the result being that PADS techniques are not as widespread as they could be. In this paper we describe ErlangTW, a parallel simulation middleware based on the Time Warp synchronization protocol. ErlangTW is entirely written in Erlang, a concurrent, functional programming language specifically targeted at building distributed systems. We argue that writing parallel simulation models in Erlang is considerably easier than using conventional programming languages. Moreover, ErlangTW allows simulation models to be executed either on single-core, multicore and distributed computing architectures. We describe the design and prototype implementation of ErlangTW, and report some preliminary performance results on multicore and distributed architectures using the well known PHOLD benchmark.

Coarse Graining Makes It Hard to See Micro-Macro Entanglement

description: Observing quantum effects such as superpositions and entanglement in macroscopic systems requires not only a system that is well protected against environmental decoherence, but also sufficient measurement precision. Motivated by recent experiments, we study the effects of coarse-graining in photon number measurements on the observability of micro-macro entanglement that is created by greatly amplifying one photon from an entangled pair. We compare the results obtained for a unitary quantum cloner, which generates micro-macro entanglement, and for a measure-and-prepare cloner, which produces a separable micro-macro state. We show that the distance between the probability distributions of results for the two cloners approaches zero for a fixed moderate amount of coarse-graining. Proving the presence of micro-macro entanglement therefore becomes progressively harder as the system size increases.

description: The success of the Revolution in Cuba modifies the place socially occupied by the black population, the cultural policies and the genre paradigms as well as their organizational ways. How this process affects writing?
Our essay try to show the importance of the presence of afro-cuban in the written poetry  during the revolutionary period in Cuba. Specifically, we are interested in highlighting the genres and ethnicity cross and his differentiation with respect, on the one hand, to what had been considered until the moment like black poetry, and on the other hand, to the institutional poetry, that coincident with the aesthetic paradigm established by the regime.
The study around as it is located the subject woman-black in the Cuban cultural field is too broad to be face in this work. However, we try to study the Georgina Herrera’s case to show some of the textual strategies that she  used  for to be inserted in a tradition and a social literary circuit like the  Cuban.

Sentarse a la mesa del Señor. Metaforizaciones y conflictos en La última cena de Tomás Gutiérrez Alea
Creators: name: Fiorani, Flavio
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011
Subjects: Esclavitud en Cuba; acontecimiento mesiánico; disciplinamiento, metaforizaciones y resemantizaciones

description: La última cena by Gutiérrez Alea is based on an actual event that took place in Cuba: one Holy Thursday at the end of the Eighteen century the owner of a sugar plantation invites twelve of his slaves to dinner and shows them the path to salvation through the message of Christian Redemption. In particular, the film shows how during the Easter rite the messianic event and the metaphoric language of salvation lead to shifts in meaning that the slaves interpret as the concrete possibility for them to be free. The sacred of the liturgical act as an “action” that can be performed by the guests at the Lord’s table in order to reach freedom is reproduced by the very cinematographic language. Actually, the slaves oppose to the Christian account an “open word”, thus debunking the project of disciplining them and stirring a rebellion in which the contamination of the sacred with the profane becomes the epiphany of a new life: no more a celestial one, but a worldly and free life in the isle of Cuba.

Improving GPU programming models through hardware cache coherence
Creators: name: Singh, Inderpreet
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been shown to be effective at achieving large speedups over contemporary chip multiprocessors (CMPs) on massively parallel programs. The lack of well-defined GPU memory models, however, prevents support of high-level languages like C++ and Java, and negatively impacts their programmability. This thesis proposes to improve GPU programmability by adding support for a well-defined memory consistency model through hardware cache coherence. We show that GPU coherence introduces a new set of challenges different from that posed by scalable cache coherence for CMPs. First, introducing conventional directory coherence protocols adds unnecessary coherence traffic overhead to existing GPU applications. Second, the massively multithreaded GPU architecture presents significant storage overheads for buffering thousands of in-flight coherence requests. Third, these protocols increase the verification complexity of the GPU memory system. Recent research, Library Cache Coherence (LCC), explored the use of time-based approaches in CMP coherence protocols. This thesis describes a time-based coherence framework for GPUs, called Temporal Coherence (TC), that exploits globally synchronized counters in single-chip systems to develop a streamlined GPU coherence protocol. Synchronized counters enable all coherence transitions, such as invalidation of cache blocks, to happen synchronously, eliminating all coherence traffic and protocol races. We present two implementations of TC, called TC-Strong and TC-Weak. TC-Strong implements an optimized version of LCC, while TC-Weak uses a novel timestamp based memory fence mechanism to implement Release Consistency on GPUs. TC-Weak eliminates TC-Strong’s trade-off between stalling stores and increasing L1 miss rates to improve performance and reduce interconnect traffic. By providing coherent L1 caches, TC-Weak improves the performance of GPU applications requiring coherence by 85% over disabling the non-coherent L1 caches in the baseline GPU. We also show that write-through protocols outperform a writeback protocol on a GPU as the latter suffers from increased traffic due to unnecessary refills of write-once data.

description: In the “realismo mágico” as latin-american literary aesthtic, magic was related to metaphorical imagination, especially trough the hyperbole, but there’s also a narrative expressing cultural elements of a sociaty based on magic, because of  faith and rituals still in use in daily life. It’s tha case of the cuban narrator Mayra Montero. In the novel Del mismo rojo de su sombra the  protagonists, man and woman, contend the power of the haitian voodu, in a proper fight  where the body plays a foundamental role in the developp of rituals. The femal body fight both in social and gender sense. Althoug she falls dead, in a simbolic level the woman wins agaisnt the negative power of the bokor, the man, by imposing herself. We analize here the way  magic elements are no more only literary aesthetic, but the reality of a lively culture  represented in the novel, and the way how that magic is practised by the female body, one that gains emancipation in a personal and social level in the haitian culture.

description: From reading In praise of Creoleness (1988) by Jean Bernabé, Raphaël Confiant y Patrick Chamoiseau, this paper propose to approach to the need of establishing a Creole literature in the Caribbean islands. With this objective, it considers the relationships that set the group of Creoleness with Negritude and the Caribbeanness, especially through its main exponents: Aimé Césaire and Édouard Glissant. It covers the main points of the manifesto of the Creoleness paying special attention to the features that takes "diversity”, as this concept becomes the basis on which the authors are supported to enhance the Creole culture. Thus, you can see in the text a shift in modes of perception of others that defines not only a change in terminology but also a change of perspective: the world Creole ceases to be exotic to start to be diverse.

description: Disease awareness in infection dynamics can be modeled with adaptive contact networks whose rewiring rules reflect the attempt by susceptibles to avoid infectious contacts. Simulations of this type of models show an active phase with constant infected node density in which the interplay of disease dynamics and link rewiring prompts the convergence towards a well defined degree distribution, irrespective of the initial network topology. We develop a method to study this dynamic equilibrium and give an analytic description of the structure of the characteristic degree distributions and other network measures. The method applies to a broad class of systems and can be used to determine the steady-state topology of many other adaptive networks.

Evaluating traffic safety performance of countries using data envelopment analysis and accident prediction models
Creators: name: Van Espen, Adinda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Road safety is an issue of global importance, receiving both national and international attention. According to the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries are extrapolated to become the fifth leading cause of death in the world by 2030. Studies conducted to gain better insight into how countries can improve their road safety performance levels often use one single variable – the number of fatalities per million inhabitants – and focus predominantly on European countries. This thesis looks to develop and analyze models incorporating a wider range of countries as well as a wider range of road safety performance indicators using data envelopment analysis and accident prediction models. The first method, initially calculate the efficiency scores using three input variables (percentage of seatbelt use in front seat, road density, and total health expenditure as percentage of GDP) and two output variables (number of fatalities per million inhabitants and fatalities per million passenger cars). It was found that the addition of the percentage of seatbelt use in rear seats (fourth input variable) and the percentage of roads paved (fifth input variable) improved the efficiency scores and rankings. Overall, the percentage of seat belt use in front seats and the total health expenditure variables had the greatest importance. The second method developed three accident prediction models using the generalized linear modeling approach with the negative binomial error structure. The elasticity analysis revealed that, for Model 1 and Model 2, the health expenditure variable had the greatest impact on the number of fatalities. For Model 3, the seatbelt wearing rate in front seats and the seatbelt wearing rate in rear seats had the greatest effect on the number of fatalities.
AfroPerú: Tras las huellas de la negritud en el Perú

description: The purpose of this article is to develop a concrete investigation about the afro-descendants identities in
nowadays Peru through the analysis of the African presence in the colonial age, focusing on different phases such
as the abolition of slavery, the political independence and the statement of rights which for long time has been
denied to this social class, until the actuality. Further to the outlining of the historical and social background of the
afro element’s complexity in the survey of the variegated biological and cultural Peruvian mosaic, this case study
focus on the today’s afro-Peruvian identity’s question, investigating about characteristics, problems and ways of
interaction with the rest of the Peruvian population. Moreover, this analysis keeps track of the “negritude”, that
is the afro movement, in the Peruvian art, literature and culture. Thanks to a study experience in Peru of the
author, this piece offers also a picture of the current situation of afro-Peruvian communities and emphasizes the
social and cultural initiatives and also political measures taken in the last years in order to assert the distinctive
feature of the afro-Peruvian identity in Peru and all over the world.

El color cenizo. Representación del afroperuano en Los ríos profundos de J. M. Arguedas
Creators: name: Carazas, Milagros
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Para la lectura crítica de la obra de José María Arguedas (1911-1969) se han empleado
diversas perspectivas y hermenéuticas pero casi siempre el tema ha sido el mismo, la
representación del mundo andino y su problematización en nuestro contexto. Esto no
debiera extrañarnos considerando que se trata de un representante indiscutible del
indigenismo literario. Pero, como apunta el estudioso Antonio Cornejo Polar (1997),
Arguedas intentó describir todo el Perú y no tan sólo el indio y el mundo andino. Hay
un proceso de ampliaciones sucesivas a nivel temático en sus cuentos y novelas, que
es más notorio en Todas las sangres (1964). El título encierra una metáfora que alude a
la pluralidad étnica y el multilingüismo. En este sentido, intentó representar un país
diverso, contradictorio y desigual en la lucha de poderes y la distribución de la riqueza.
Justamente es así que Arguedas muestra un interés permanente en retratar esos
diversos grupos étnicos y/o culturales. Uno de ellos es sin duda el afroperuano. Este
último aparece como personaje del negrismo. Lo discutible es que en ciertas obras
literarias se observa la construcción de una imagen que lo desvalora, ya que se apelan
a estereotipos y atributos negativos. Aclaro que no hay una correcta manera de
representarlo, sólo que la recurrencia de elementos negativos para su descripción es
sintomática. Pareciera responder a los intereses clasistas y políticos del escritor criollo,
ajeno a la comunidad afroperuana y su cultura. Es al fin y al cabo una mirada desde
afuera.

description: In a heterogeneous wireless cellular network, each user may be covered by multiple access points such as macro/pico/relay/femto base stations (BS). An effective approach to maximize the sum utility (e.g., system throughput) in such a network is to jointly optimize users' linear procoders as well as their base station associations. In this paper we first show that this joint optimization problem is NP-hard and thus is difficult to solve to global optimality. To find a locally optimal solution, we formulate the problem as a noncooperative game in which the users and the BSs both act as players. We introduce a set of new utility functions for the players and show that every Nash equilibrium (NE) of the resulting game is a stationary solution of the original sum utility maximization problem. Moreover, we develop a best-response type algorithm that allows the players to distributedly reach a NE of the game. Simulation results show that the proposed distributed algorithm can effectively relieve local BS congestion and simultaneously achieve high throughput and load balancing in a heterogeneous network.

description: Continuous time random walks (CTRWs) are versatile models for anomalous diffusion processes that have found widespread application in the quantitative sciences. Their scaling limits are typically non-Markovian, and the computation of their finite-dimensional distributions is an important open problem. This paper develops a general semi-Markov theory for CTRW limit processes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with infinitely many particle jumps (renewals) in finite time intervals. The particle jumps and waiting times can be coupled and vary with space and time. By augmenting the state space to include the scaling limits of renewal times, a CTRW limit process can be embedded in a Markov process. Explicit analytic expressions for the transition kernels of these Markov processes are then derived, which allow the computation of all finite dimensional distributions for CTRW limits. Two examples illustrate the proposed method.

When the local operator corresponds to a light string state with finite conserved charges the correlation function can be evaluated in the semiclassical approximation of large string tension, where the contribution from the light vertex can be neglected. We consider the cases where the Wilson loops are described by two concentric surfaces and the local vertices are the superconformal chiral primary scalar or a singlet massive scalar operator.

description: We review developments in the theory of multiple, parallel membranes in M-theory. After discussing the inherent difficulties pertaining to a maximally supersymmetric lagrangian formulation with the appropriate field content and symmetries, we discuss how introducing the concept of 3-algebras allows for such a description. Different choices of 3-algebras lead to distinct classes of 2+1 dimensional theories with varying degrees of supersymmetry. We then describe how these are equivalent to a type of conventional superconformal Chern-Simons gauge theories at level k, coupled to bifundamental matter. Analysing the physical properties of these theories leads to the identification of a certain subclass of models with configurations of M2-branes in Z_k orbifolds of M-theory. In addition these models give rise to a whole new sector of the gauge/gravity duality in the form of an AdS_4/CFT_3 correspondence. We also discuss mass deformations, higher derivative corrections as well as the possibility of extracting information about M5-brane physics.

Third parties’ morally-motivated responses to mistreatment in organizations
Creators: name: O'Reilly, Deborah Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Why do third parties, individuals who are not the direct target of an act of mistreatment, attempt to either punish the perpetrator or help the victim? Starting with the basic proposition that third parties intervene when they perceive an act of mistreatment as morally wrong and that intervening is the morally right thing to do, I construct a model of third parties’ morally-motivated responses to others’ mistreatment. I draw from theories of deontic justice, moral intuitions, moral identity and moral emotions to explain why some third parties will be motivated to respond while others will not. I incorporate third party power, in the form of personal resources and hierarchical position, to provide a more nuanced explanation of how third parties will respond once motivated to do so in an actual workplace setting. In Studies 1 to 3, I test the basic propositions of my model. Study 1 finds that moral anger mediates the relationship between third parties’ moral identity and injustice cognitions. Study 2 finds that moral anger mediates the relationship between third parties’ moral identity and punishment. Study 3 finds that resource power is associated with helping the victim and indirect punishment and that relative position power is associated with direct and indirect punishment. In Studies 4 to 6, I extend my research to consider whether third parties react differently depending on the type of justice violation. I test the proposition that third parties’ moral reactions are stronger in response to interpersonal injustice than the other types of injustice commonly studied in the organizational sciences. I find evidence for the stronger impact of interpersonal injustice in comparison to distributive injustice (Studies 4 and 5) and procedural injustice (Study 6). I conclude with a discussion of the theoretical and practical implications of this dissertation.

This approach is based on abstractly defined dressed bound states, which capture the essential aspects of the interaction with the laser pulse and facilitate a perturbative description of transitions induced by the attosecond pulse. Necessary properties of dressed bound states are defined and various choices are discussed and compared to accurate numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schroedinger equation.

A long-standing open question is whether maximally entangled states can be distilled from every state with a non-positive partial transpose. In this paper we study a possible approach to the question consisting of enlarging the class of operations allowed. Namely, instead of LOCC operations we consider k-extendible operations, defined as maps whose Choi-Jamiolkowski state is k-extendible. We find that this class is unexpectedly powerful - e.g. it is capable of distilling EPR pairs even from product states. We also perform numerical studies of distillation of Werner states by those maps, which show that if we raise the extension index k simultaneously with the number of copies of the state, then the class of k-extendible operations is not that powerful anymore and provide a better approximation to the set of LOCC operations.

Post-9/11 Discourses Of Threat And Constructions Of Terror In The Age Of Obama

description: We argue elsewhere (Bloodsworth-Lugo and Lugo-Lugo, 2010) that the G.W. Bush years displayed a consistent merger of discourse surrounding otherwise unrelated issues (for example, terrorism, Saddam Hussein, September 11, 2001, immigration, same-sex marriage).  This discourse served to construct and intertwine conceived international and domestic “terrorist” threats.  During Barack Obama’s campaign for the U.S presidency, post-9/11 American anxieties worked to render Obama himself into a threatening body through questions concerning his middle name (Hussein), his perceived religious affiliation, and his patriotism and citizenship.
In the present paper, we argue that the post-9/11 language of “us versus them” (“Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists” [Bush 2001]), delivered to the American public and international community to garner consent in the wake of the September 11, 2001 events, and transformed into public policy for the remainder of the G.W. Bush presidency, provided a lens through which Americans would continue to construct and perceive the world beyond the Bush administration.  Ideology surrounding “the War on Terror,” in particular, has either been resisted or co-opted and deployed by social agents in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.  We claim that in the age of Obama, Bush-generated discourse and ideology has been activated to continue and advance policies and practices aimed at identifying and containing “terrorist” threats.

description: Using the gamma-ray bursts simultaneously detected by Swift/BAT and Fermi/GBM we performed a joint spectral and temporal analysis of the prompt emission data and confirm the rough correlation between the BAT-band photon index Gamma_BAT and the peak spectral energy Epeak. With the redshift known sub-sample, we derived the isotropic gamma-ray energy E_gamma,iso and also confirm the E_gamma,iso - Epeak,rest relation, with a larger scatter than the Amati sample but consistent with GBM team analyses. We also compare the T_90 values derived in the GBM band with those derived in the BAT band and find that for long GRBs the BAT T_90 is usually longer than the GBM T_90, while for short GRBs the trend reverses. This is consistent with the soft/hard nature of long/short GRBs and suggests the importance of an energy-dependent temporal analysis of GRBs.

SU(6) GUT Breaking on a Projective Plane

description: We consider a 6-dimensional supersymmetric SU(6) gauge theory and compactify two extra-dimensions on a multiply-connected manifold with non-trivial topology. The SU(6) is broken down to the Standard Model gauge groups in two steps by an orbifold projection (or Wilson line), followed by a Wilson line. The Higgs doublets of the low energy electroweak theory come from a chiral adjoint of SU(6). We thus have gauge-Higgs unification. The three families of the Standard Model can either be located in the 6D bulk or at 4D N=1 supersymmetric fixed points. We calculate the Kaluza-Klein spectrum of states arising as a result of the orbifolding. We also calculate the threshold corrections to the coupling constants due to this tower of states at the lowest compactification scale. We study the regions of parameter space of this model where the threshold corrections are consistent with low energy physics. We find that the couplings receive only logarithmic corrections at all scales. This feature can be attributed to the large N=2 6D SUSY of the underlying model.

The flexible nature of exchange, correlation and Hartree physics: resolving "delocalization" errors in a 'correlation free' density functional

description: By exploiting freedoms in the definitions of 'correlation', 'exchange' and 'Hartree' physics in ensemble systems we better generalise the notion of 'exact exchange' (EXX) to systems with fractional occupations functions of the frontier orbitals, arising in the dissociation limit of some molecules. We introduce the Linear EXX ("LEXX") theory whose pair distribution and energy are explicitly \emph{piecewise linear} in the occupations $f^σ_{i}$. {\hi}We provide explicit expressions for these functions for frontier $s$ and $p$ shells. Used in an optimised effective potential (OEP) approach it yields energies bounded by the piecewise linear 'ensemble EXX' (EEXX) energy and standard fractional optimised EXX energy: $E^{EEXX}\leq E^{LEXX} \leq E^{EXX}$. Analysis of the LEXX explains the success of standard OEP methods for diatoms at large spacing, and why they can fail when both spins are allowed to be non-integer so that "ghost" Hartree interactions appear between \emph{opposite} spin electrons in the usual formula. The energy $E^{LEXX}$ contains a cancellation term for the spin ghost case. It is evaluated for H, Li and Na fractional ions with clear derivative discontinuities for all cases. The $p$-shell form reproduces accurate correlation-free energies of B-F and Al-Cl. We further test LEXX plus correlation energy calculations on fractional ions of C and F and again shows both derivative discontinuities and good agreement with exact results.

description: For an abelian surface A over a number field k, we study the limiting distribution of the normalized Euler factors of the L-function of A. This distribution is expected to correspond to taking characteristic polynomials of a uniform random matrix in some closed subgroup of USp(4); this Sato-Tate group may be obtained from the Galois action on any Tate module of A. We show that the Sato-Tate group is limited to a particular list of 55 groups up to conjugacy. We then classify A according to the Galois module structure on the R-algebra generated by endomorphisms of A_Qbar (the Galois type), and establish a matching with the classification of Sato-Tate groups; this shows that there are at most 52 groups up to conjugacy which occur as Sato-Tate groups for suitable A and k, of which 34 can occur for k = Q. Finally, we exhibit examples of Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves exhibiting each Galois type (over Q whenever possible), and observe numerical agreement with the expected Sato-Tate distribution by comparing moment statistics.

description: The kinematic edges of invariant mass distributions provide an important tool for the possible measurements of superpartner masses in supersymmetric models with a neutralino LSP. We examine the effect of lepton flavor dependence on the kinematic endpoints of the di-lepton invariant mass distribution, with the leptons being electrons and muons. In the presence of slepton mass splitting and mixing, each of these distributions exhibits multiple edges, which are likely to be close. Furthermore, flavor subtraction, which is usually employed to eliminate backgrounds, dilutes the signal. We propose to extract the endpoints from the flavor-added distribution, which is insensitive to the slepton mixing. We also discuss the extraction of the slepton flavor parameters in such scenarios. To demonstrate our results, we use an example with a small slepton mass splitting of 3 GeV leading to a 6 GeV edge splitting, at both small mixing and large mixing.
