description: What are the usage-related challenges currently faced by open efforts? For instance, open data is intriguing in principle, but in reality, making underlying data open can be problematic, conflicting with the need for research secrecy (whether driven by the desire to be first to publish, or the desire of funders to hold onto data to protect future discovery potential), the potential for misinterpretation by other researchers, and so on. Publishing clinical trial data in open formats is also intriguing but would run afoul of many current consent agreements, particularly older consents. Open access is similarly challenged in some instances by a conflict between which version of papers is allowed appear in open repositories. What is the value of archiving non-final versions? What are the range of issues here, what are the perspectives, and what might be some possible solutions?

description: We have studied the Residual Blaze Functions (RBF) resulting from division of individual echelle orders by extracted flat-field in spectra obtained by slit-fed OES spectrograph of 2m telescope of Ondřejov observatory, Czech Republic. We have eliminated the dependence on target and observation conditions by semiautomatic fitting of global response function, thus getting the instrument-only dependent part, which may be easily incorporated into data reduction pipeline. The improvement of reliability of estimation of continuum on spectra of targets with wide and shallow lines is noticeable and the merging of all orders into the one long spectrum gives much more reliable results.

description: Middle school is a pivotal time of identity development that coincides with a significant physiological transition and consequent shift in social expectations and experiences of embodiment, further corresponding with a moment when educational trajectories solidify. This study addresses policing of bodies during this overlooked life stage for untapped insight into embodied and educational inequalities. Clarifying everyday mechanisms of embodied and educational inequality, this project shows how schools’ practices of body management combine gendered, sexualized, racialized, and classed expectations to reproduce social hierarchies. Through their policies and educator enforcement thereof, schools position specific modes of gendered, racialized, and classed appearance as standard and ideal. Simultaneously, practices of body management enacted through formal and informal discipline mark deviating forms of embodiment as inferior, troublesome, and risky. Merging in-depth interviews with 34 middle school students and 27 middle school educators with content analysis of 103 middle school handbooks, I demonstrate that dress policies are based on white, heterosexual, middle-class, masculine, male standards. Educators used students’ adherence to school standards to evaluate student character, hinging their perceptions on student gender, race, and class. Teachers and administrators cast rule violators in the role of troublemaker and discipline them accordingly. Their simplified readings of student intent disregarded student agency and resistance. Meanwhile, students justified breaking dress rules by appealing to values of education, self-expression, and activism. Educators also overlooked the work disadvantaged students did to avoid mishaps in appearance, further neglecting their agency. This project details how policies that position girls’ bodies as distractions relegated their education and comfort to a secondary position, giving priority to boys’ education. Girls of color were especially susceptible to surveillance, punishment, and, potentially, resulting alienation from education and their bodies. Policing of their bodies signaled to girls and/or students of color that their bodies were inferior and incompatible with their learning environments. Nevertheless, girls and students of color resisted and combated sexualizing, racist discourses and policies through their accounts and actions. Despite these efforts, the omnipresence of gendered and racialized surveillance and discipline contributed to self-objectification and created an emotional burden for girls.
Modeling the 2010 blast wave of the symbiotic-like nova V407 Cygni

description: (Abridged) The symbiotic-like binary Mira and nova V407 Cyg was observed in outburst on March 2010 and monitored in several wavelength bands. Here we report on multi-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations describing the 2010 outburst of V407 Cyg, exploring the first 60 days of evolution. The model takes into account thermal conduction and radiative cooling; the pre-explosion system conditions included the companion star and a circumbinary density enhancement. The simulations showed that the blast and the ejecta distribution are both aspherical due to the inhomogeneous circumstellar medium in which they expand; in particular they are significantly collimated in polar directions (producing a bipolar shock morphology) if the circumstellar envelope is characterized by an equatorial density enhancement. The blast is partially shielded by the Mira companion, producing a wake with dense and hot post-shock plasma on the rear side of the companion star; most of the X-ray emission produced during the evolution of the blast arises from this plasma structure. The observed X-ray lightcurve can be reproduced, assuming values of outburst energy and ejected mass similar to those of RS Oph and U Sco, if a circumbinary gas density enhancement is included in the model. In this case, the 2010 blast propagated through a circumbinary gas density enhancement with radius of the order of 40 AU and gas density \approx 10^6 cm^{-3} and the mass of ejecta in the outburst was M_{ej} \approx 2\times 10^{-7} M_{\odot} with an explosion energy E_{0} \approx 2\times 10^{44} erg. Alternatively, the model can produce a similar X-ray lightcurve without the need of a circumbinary gas density enhancement only if the outburst energy and ejected mass were similar to those at the upper end of ranges for classical novae, namely M_{ej} \approx 5\times 10^{-5} M_{\odot} and E_{0} \approx 5\times 10^{46} erg.

description: Silicene (a monolayer of silicon atoms) is a topological insulator, which undergoes a topological phase transition to a band insulator under an external electric field. The spin polarization is unique and opposite at the K and K' points due to the spin-orbit coupling. Accordingly, silicene exhibits a strong circular dichroism with respect to optical absorption, obeying a certain spin-valley selection rule. It is remarkable that this selection rule is drastically different between these two types of insulators owing to a band inversion taking place at the phase transition point. Hence we can tell experimentally whether silicene is in the topological or band insulator phase by circular dichroism. Furthermore the selection rule enables us to excite electrons with definite spin and valley indices by optical absorption. Photo-induced current is spin polarized, where the spin direction is different between the topological and band insulators. It is useful for future spintronics applications.

description: There is a broad difference of opinion among the many stakeholders in scholarly publishing about how to precisely define open access publishing. Are â€œopen accessâ€ and â€œopen dataâ€ what we mean by open? Does â€œopenâ€ mean anything else? Does it mean â€œto make available,â€ or â€œto make freely available in a particular format?â€ Is a clearer definition needed (or maybe just better education on the current definition)? Why or why not? At present, some stakeholders see public access as being an acceptable stopping point in the move toward open access. Others see â€œopenâ€ as requiring free and immediate access with articles being available in CC-BY format. The range of opinions between these extremes is vast. How should these differences be decided? Who should decide? Is it possible to make binding recommendations (and how)? Is consensus necessary? What are the consequences of the lack of consensus?

description: Multistep denaturation in a short circular DNA molecule is analyzed by a mesoscopic Hamiltonian model which accounts for the helicoidal geometry. Computation of melting profiles by the path integral method suggests that stacking anharmonicity stabilizes the double helix against thermal disruption of the hydrogen bonds. Twisting is essential in the model to capture the importance of nonlinear effects on the thermodynamical properties. In a ladder model with zero twist, anharmonic stacking scarcely affects the thermodynamics. Moderately untwisted helices, with respect to the equilibrium conformation, show an energetic advantage against the overtwisted ones. Accordingly moderately untwisted helices better sustain local fluctuational openings and make more unlikely the thermally driven complete strand separation.

description: We investigate the statistical properties of flare and starspot-induced variabilities of red dwarf stars in the open cluster M37, particularly (1) understanding magnetic activity phenomena that are seen in groups of stars (with the same age and mass) and (2) the correlations among activity indicators. The use of both tracers is particularly useful for statistical studies since it can provide more homogeneous information about their activity behaviors. We recalibrate the archival imaging data of the M37 obtained by one-month observing run with MMT/Megacam camera, i.e., Deep, High-cadence and Long-term monitoring survey. To detect any significant variability from cool objects, forced photometry with our multi-aperture indexing technique is applied to the entire time-series images. In this contributed talk, we present an update on flare and rotational statistics of this cluster and further strong evidences that support the classical age-rotation-activity paradigm.

description: We present a spectroscopic sample of z \approx 0.5 luminous red galaxies (LRGs) that are located within physical projected distances ρ\leq 350 kpc/h of a QSO sightline. Of the 37 LRGs in our sample, eight have associated MgII absorbers with rest-frame equivalent width Wr(2796)>0.3A and velocity separation |dv| \leq 350 km/s and 29 do not have associated MgII absorbers to a 2-sigma limit of Wr(2796)=0.3A. We perform a stellar population synthesis analysis using stacked spectra of the MgII absorbing and non-absorbing LRG subsamples. We find that LRGs with or without associated MgII absorbers share similar star formation histories and are best described by old stellar population models (\geq 1 Gyr). Younger stellar populations (\leq 1 Gyr) fail to reproduce their spectra. These findings are consistent with the lack of [OII] emission features in the LRG spectra. The primarily old stellar populations in the LRGs indicate that starburst driven outflows are unlikely to explain the observed MgII absorbers at large distances from the LRGs. In addition, the spectroscopic LRG sample allows us to derive a sensitive constraint for the cool gas covering fraction of =14 +/- 6% in the LRG halos for absorbers of Wr(2796)>0.3A. Finally, we speculate on the origin of the observed MgII absorbers around the LRGs.

description: Spin crossover molecules have recently emerged as a family of compounds potentially useful for implementing molecular spintronics devices. The calculations of the electronic properties of such molecules is a formidable theoretical challenge as one has to describe the spin ground state of a transition metal as the legand field changes. The problem is dominated by the interplay between strong electron correlation at the transition metal site and charge delocalization over the ligands, and thus it fits into a class of problems where density functional theory may be inadequate. Furthermore, the crossover activity is extremely sensitive to environmental conditions, which are difficult to fully characterize. Here we discuss the phase transition of a prototypical spin crossover molecule as obtained with diffusion Monte Carlo simulations. We demonstrate that the ground state changes depending on whether the molecule is in the gas or in the solid phase. As our calculation provides a solid benchmark for the theory we then assess the performances of density functional theory. We find that the low spin state is always over-stabilized, not only by the (semi-)local functionals, but even by the most commonly used hybrids (such as B3LYP and PBE0). We then propose that reliable results can be obtained by using hybrid functionals containing about 50% of exact-exchange.

High precision Raman lasers

description: Solid-state Raman lasers have emerged as powerful technology for wavelength shifting of conventional lasers. After recent advances in diamond growth technology, there is interest in diamond Raman lasers (DRLs) owing to their supreme thermal performance. While steady progress has been made in high-power Raman lasers including access to a wider range of wavelengths, single longitudinal mode (SLM) operation of Raman laser is a less-studied topic of investigation. Also, to date little effort has been made in the field of Raman cavity-enhanced pumping. In this thesis, we investigate cavity enhanced pumping of cascaded Raman lasers, both theoretically and experimentally. A theoretical model was derived to describe the behavior of the pump resonant Raman lasers. The model can describe the output performance of such lasers for arbitrary cascading of the Stokes process. The impact of the configuration parameters of the cavity (e.g., beam radius, mirror reflectivities, crystal length etc.) on laser performance are analyzed. The equations for optimum mirror designs are derived and studied. We design and build several different pump resonant Raman lasers to verify the model and generate commercially-useful laser designs. A diamond Raman laser pumped at 851 nm achieved up to 364 mW of second Stokes output at 1101.3 nm, with stable SLM output up to 140 mW. The slope efficiency was 33%. Under 1064 nm pumping, we generated 1548 mW of second Stokes lasing at 1485 nm using 17.05 W of pump power. For the further verification of our model, a vanadate-based pump resonant Raman laser was built. This laser reached 417.5 mW of second Stokes lasing with a slope efficiency 10% using 1064 nm pumping. The thermal effects in the vanadate laser confirmed the benefits of using diamond even at these power levels. Finally, we investigated a different Raman laser design, with the pump not resonated but instead just double passed. Such lasers tend not to run on a single longitudinal mode. By inserting a frequency-doubling crystal and adjusting the doubled power, we could use this to stabilize the infrared output power to achieve SLM operation. We get stable first Stokes operation at 4.3 W with the aid of 1250 mW of frequency doubled conversion. We analyse the stabilizing mechanism of axial mode suppression due to the doubling process. The presented experimental and theoretical work is a big step towards bringing our understanding of pump-resonant Raman lasers up to the level of other Raman designs. The model derived in this thesis provides a good reference to predict the laser performance, and to aid people to design lasers for optimum output. The methods to achieve SLM operation show the potential of narrow linewidth Raman lasers, and close the capability gap between Raman lasers and other wavelength shifting technologies.
Amendments to national instrument 43-101 with respect to industrial minerals

description: Third party compliant reporting standards govern how mining companies must disclose technical information concerning their mineral assets. These reporting standards apply to any public issuer. Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (MRMR) are critical in the determination of the mineral asset base as well as the market value of a mining company. Moreover, companies must present a qualifying technical report in accordance with existing reporting standards as a necessary step, required by lenders and financial institutions. This is a required step prior to finalizing any financial deal publicly or, in some cases, privately. This research examines issues with public reporting specifically as it involves industrial minerals and the challenges this sector faces getting the same recognition as other mineral commodities by the approving institutions. Different perspectives with regard to main elements of the reporting standards are presented. The efficiency of reporting standards is reviewed based on the findings of the interviews. These findings prepare the ground for further discussion on what needs to be improved, and how these changes could be achieved. Industrial mineral companies are facing serious challenges in terms of gaining capital. They have to compete not only with other mining companies working with other mineral commodities, but also with all public companies in other industries that are seeking investment dollars. A better understanding of the investment community’s decision making process and improvements to communication with investors increases the probability of gaining investment capital. This research examines the main indicators that investors review to evaluate an industrial mineral project. These indicators include MRMR that are the principal basis for the value of any mining company, the reputation of the management team which is built over time in a succession of achievements, and finally cost structure and future cost of development which are crucial to the future prosperity of company. This research further provides insight into the invisible link between public reporting of industrial minerals and investor confidence. The analysis presented here is based on 34 interviews conducted with experts from Canada, Australia, the UK, South Africa, and the USA.

description: Aims. Interstellar dust grains, because of their catalytic properties, are crucial to the formation of H2, the most abundant molecule in the Universe. The formation of molecular hydrogen strongly depends on the ability of H atoms to stick on dust grains. In this study we determine the sticking coefficient of H atoms chemisorbed on graphitic surfaces, and estimate its impact on the forma- tion of H2. Methods. The sticking probability of H atoms chemisorbed onto graphitic surfaces is obtained using a mixed classical-quantum dynamics method. In this, the H atom is treated quantum- mechanically and the vibrational modes of the surface are treated classically. The implications of sticking for the formation of H2 are addressed by using Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations that follow how atoms stick, move and associate with each other on dust surfaces of different temper- ature. Results. In our model, molecular hydrogen forms very efficiently for dust temperatures lower than 15 K through the involvement of physisorbed H atoms. At dust temperatures higher than 15 K and gas temperatures lower than 2000 K, H2 formation differs strongly if the H atoms com- ing from the gas phase have to cross a square barrier (usually considered in previous studies) or a barrier obtained by DFT calculations to become chemisorbed. The product of sticking times efficiency can be increased by many orders of magnitude when realistic barriers are considered. If graphite phonons are taken into account in the dynamics calculations, then H atoms stick better on the surface at high energies, but the overall H2 formation efficiency is only slightly affected. Our results suggest that H2 formation can proceed efficiently in photon dominated regions, X-ray dominated regions, hot cores and in the early Universe when the first dust is available.

description: Medium-induced parton energy loss, resulting from gluon exchanges between the QCD matter and partonic projectiles, is expected to underly the strong suppression of jets and high-$p_T$ hadron spectra observed in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. Here, we present the first color-differential calculation of parton energy loss. We find that color exchange between medium and projectile enhances the invariant mass of energetic color singlet clusters in the parton shower by a parametrically large factor proportional to the square root of the projectile energy. This effect is seen in more than half of the most energetic color-singlet fragments of medium-modified parton branchings. Applying a standard cluster hadronization model, we find that it leads to a characteristic additional softening of hadronic spectra. A fair description of the nuclear modification factor measured at the LHC may then be obtained for relatively low momentum transfers from the medium.

The LIS trend in Australia underscores the critical necessity of considering cultural variations and norms when studying information-seeking behaviors. The latest research criticizes the prevalent focus on individual information seekers, highlighting the need to recognize the influence of language, religion, and cultural behaviors on their information-seeking patterns. It emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the broader social context in which information is sought. 
 Existing frameworks for information practices are critiqued for their lack of inclusivity regarding social norms, values, emotions, and embodiment within different cultural groups. This limitation consequently limits the scope of information practices research, hindering the understanding of various cultural behaviors. The presentation contends that without a comprehensive grasp of the cultural community or phenomenon under study, researchers lack the informed insight necessary to make appropriate choices about adopting specific information practices and values. 
To address these limitations, the author proposes exploring new theoretical paradigms for information practice research called "Cultural Information Science", where he suggests that Researchers must move from the four walls of the library to the communities outside the library. He emphasizes the significance of local knowledge and insight as indispensable tools for comprehending information practices within culturally diverse contexts. To do this, the researchers must transcend their own cultural experiences and engage with a wider array of formal theories, as their personal experiences inherently constrain their viewpoints. 
A notable contribution of this research trend is its focus on recognizing the profound influence of cultural norms on the outcomes of cultural information practices. This understanding enhances the field's comprehension of the complex interplay between cultural dynamics and information behavior.   
 In conclusion, the author underscores the crucial need to transcend Western-centric assumptions and adopt a more culturally sensitive and context-aware approach to studying information practices, particularly within non-western contexts. This would promise a richer and more nuanced understanding of how culture shapes information-seeking behaviors and their outcomes.

description: Managing the peer review process is one of the major attractions and benefits of the current publisher-driven publishing environment. Would it be possible to maintain peer review in different systemâ€”perhaps one where peer review happens at the institutional level, or in an online-review environment? How? What is really needed from peer review, what are the reform options (and what do we already know about the options that have been tried)?

description: Are we satisfied with the current state of global knowledge preservation? What are the current preservation methods? Who are the actors? Is this system satisfactory? What role do institutional repositories play in this process? What does the future hold for these repositories (taking into account linking efforts, publishing company concerns about revenue declines, widespread dark archiving practices, and so on)? Would new mandates help (or do we simply need to tighten existing mandates so they actually compel authors to do certain things)? And how do versions of record figure into all of thisâ€”that is, how do archiving policies (with regard to differences between pre-journal and post-journal versions) affect knowledge accuracy and transfer?

description: Information underload occurs when we donâ€™t have access to the information we need (for a variety of reasons, including cost) â€”researchers based at smaller institutions and in the global periphery, policymakers, and the general public, particularly with regard to medical research. Overload occurs when we can access everything but are simply overwhelmed by the torrent of information available (not all of which is equally valuable). Are these issues two sides of the same coin? In both cases, how can we work together to figure out how to get people the information they need? Can we? How widespread are these issues? What are the economic and research consequences of information underload and overload?

Culture and government : an analysis of the interaction between formal and informal institutions
Creators: name: Jackson, Kenneth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Institutions are the key to economic development. While the community of development economists appear to have converged on this assessment, our understanding of the specific role of institutions remains extremely limited. In particular, economists have avoided the question of how government institutions interact with cultural factors that vary around the world. The three papers in this thesis address this question with respect to ethnic identity and social norms. Chapters 2 and 3 focus on the role of ethnic diversity in determining the effectiveness of governance in Sub-Saharan Africa. The existing literature has demonstrated a tenuous link between diversity and ineffective governance, but many questions remain. Chapter 2 demonstrates that ethnic diversity has a significant negative effect on the provision of piped drinking water and electricity across a large sample of countries from Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, it is demonstrated that the geographic scale of diversity measurement is critical to the analysis. Local diversity is negatively associated with an inherently local good, piped water, whereas regional diversity is negatively associated with a good provided regionally, electricity. This link between the scale of provision and the measurement of diversity is a key finding that should inform future work on diversity. Chapter 3 extends this analysis to consider why ethnic diversity matters for the provision of public goods. Including the two mechanisms suggested in the literature within a single model demonstrates that the key difference between them is the distribution of household access across ethnic groups. The empirical section of the chapter then provides evidence that ineffective governing institutions are the critical factor connecting local ethnic diversity to low levels of piped drinking water across Sub-Saharan Africa. Finally, chapter 4 focuses on the dynamic interaction between government institutions and social norms of honesty. While government institutions can be effective in promoting social capital development, there exists a social capital trap. For countries with social capital below this level, advances in government institutions will not improve the social environment. Further, social divisions caused by ethnic heterogeneity or economic inequality may increase the minimum level of social capital necessary to escape this institutional trap.

description: Land-use change is a root cause of the extinction crisis, but links between habitat change and biodiversity loss are not fully understood. While there is evidence that habitat loss is an important extinction driver, the relevance of habitat fragmentation remains debated. Moreover, while time delays of biodiversity responses to habitat transformation are well-documented, time-delayed effects have been ignored in the habitat loss versus fragmentation debate. Here, using a hierarchical Bayesian multi-species occupancy framework, we systematically tested for time-delayed responses of bird and mammal communities to habitat loss and to habitat fragmentation. We focused on the Argentine Chaco, where deforestation has been widespread recently. We used an extensive field dataset on birds and mammals, along with a time series of annual woodland maps from 1985 to 2016 covering recent and historical habitat transformations. Contemporary habitat amount explained bird and mammal occupancy better than past habitat amount. However, occupancy was affected more by the past rather than recent fragmentation, indicating a time-delayed response to fragmentation. Considering past landscape patterns is therefore crucial for understanding current biodiversity patterns. Not accounting for land-use history ignores the possibility of extinction debt and can thus obscure impacts of fragmentation, potentially explaining contrasting findings of habitat loss versus fragmentation studies.

description: Do researchers and scientists participate in the current system of scholarly publishing because they like it, they need it, they donâ€™t have a choice in the matter, or they donâ€™t really care one way or another? What perceptions, considerations and incentives do academicians have for staying the course (like impact factors and tenure points), and what are their pressures and incentives for changing direction (like lowering publishing charges)?
