description: In this work, we discuss the interaction between anti-symmetric rank-two tensor matter and topological Yang-Mills fields. The matter field considered here is the rank-2 Avdeev-Chizhov tensor matter field in a suitably extended $N_{T}=2$ SUSY. We start off from the $N_{T}=2$, D=4 superspace formulation and we go over to Riemannian manifolds. The matter field is coupled to the topological Yang-Mills field. We show that both actions are obtained as $Q-$exact forms, which allows us to write the energy-momentum tensor as $Q-$exact observables.

SEX AND AGE BIASES IN PSYCHOTHERAPY: DIFFERENTIAL PERCEPTION AND MEMORY OF CLIENTS AS A FUNCTION OF CLIENT AGE AND GENDER AND THERAPIST GENDER
Creators: name: Moscati, Eileen Buese
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Therapists' contribution to the observed age/sex reversal in mental health statistics from male-dominated childhood psychopathology to female-dominated adult psychopathology was investigated. The present analogue study assessed therapists' differential perception and memory of a hypothetical antisocial-hysterical client profile as a function of client gender and age and of therapist gender. It was predicted that therapists would emphasize female clients' (particularly the female adult's) hysterical and social functioning and male clients' (particularly the male child's) antisocial and vocational functioning in summarizing, recalling, questioning, and evaluating client data. It was predicted that male therapists would show more sex and age biases than female therapists. The study was a completely randomized partial hierarchical design with Sex of Therapist and specialization nested within Sex of Client x Age of Client. Eighty practicing child and adult therapists (40 female, 40 male) participated. The results did not support predictions. Client sex generally had little impact on therapists' responses. There was, however, evidence of possible stereotypic overemphasis of the female child client's social functioning but counterstereotypic underemphasis of the female adult client's social concerns. Therapists did not differentially remember female clients' hysterical functioning nor male clients' antisocial and vocational functioning. There were unexpected, consistent client age-related findings. However, possible confounding by therapists' nested specialization limited the validity of these results. Male therapists did not evidence more stereotyped evaluation and memory of client data than did female therapists. No negative information bias was found. Results were consistent with the consensus of other analogue research into sex bias. The findings were discussed in terms of cognitive memory and stereotype theories.

description: Photon bursts with a wavelength smaller than the plasma inter-particle distance can drive plasma wakes via Compton scattering. We investigate this fundamental process analytically and numerically for different photon frequencies, photon flux, and plasma magnetization. Our results show that Langmuir and extraordinary modes are driven efficiently when the photon energy density lies above a certain threshold. The interaction of photon bursts with magnetized plasmas is of distinguished interest as the generated extraordinary modes can convert into pure electromagnetic waves at the plasma/vacuum boundary. This could possibly be a mechanism for the generation of radio waves in astrophysical scenarios in the presence of intense sources of high energy photons.

Quantum Computing and Error Correction

description: The main ideas of quantum error correction are introduced. These are encoding, extraction of syndromes, error operators, and code construction. It is shown that general noise and relaxation of a set of 2-state quantum systems can always be understood as a combination of Pauli operators acting on the system. Each quantum error correcting code allows a subset of these errors to be corrected. In many situations the noise is such that the remaining uncorrectable errors are unlikely to arise, and hence quantum error correction has a high probability of success. In order to achieve the best noise tolerance in the presence of noise and imprecision throughout the computer, a hierarchical construction of a quantum computer is proposed.

description: We explore the coexistence region in the vicinity of the Mott critical end point employing a compressible cell spin-$1/2$ Ising-like model. We analyze the case for the spin-liquid candidate $κ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu$_2$(CN)$_3$, where close to the Mott critical end point metallic puddles coexist with an insulating ferroelectric phase. Our results are fourfold: $i$) a universal divergent-like behavior of the Grüneisen parameter upon crossing the first-order transition line; $ii$) based on scaling arguments, we show that within the coexistence region, for $any$ system close to the critical point, the relaxation time is entropy-dependent; $iii$) we propose the electric Grüneisen parameter $Γ_E$, which quantifies the electrocaloric effect; $iv$) we identify the metallic/insulating coexistence region as an electronic Griffiths-like phase. Our findings suggest that $Γ_E$ governs the dielectric response close to the critical point and that an electronic Griffiths-like phase emerges in the coexistence region.

title: Tailor-made ubiquitin chains
Creators: name: Appel, Dominik
Year: 2024

description: Ubiquitin ist ein kleines, hochkonserviertes Protein, das bei einer Vielzahl von zellulären Prozessen eine entscheidende Rolle spielt, indem es andere Proteine zum Abbau markiert. Ubiquitin besteht aus 76 Aminosäuren und ist in allen eukaryontischen Zellen zu finden. Bei der Ubiquitylierung werden ein oder mehrere Ubiquitinmoleküle an ein Substratprotein angehängt, um es für die Erkennung durch das Proteasom zu markieren, einen großen Proteinkomplex, der für den Abbau nicht benötigter oder beschädigter Proteine zuständig ist. Da Ubiquitin selbst 8 mögliche Reaktionsstellen für die Ubiquitylierung hat, gibt es viele mögliche Poly-Ubiquitin-Ketten mit unterschiedlichen Funktionen. Die (patho-)physiologische Rolle von Ubiquitin-Ketten ist noch nicht vollständig geklärt. Ziel dieser Masterarbeit war es, verschiedene Ubiquitin-Mutanten zu erzeugen, die an den folgenden Positionen ein Cys anstelle von Lys enthalten: K11, K29, K48, K63 und mit C-terminalen Modifikationen, die die Bildung kovalenter Bindungen zwischen Ubiquitin und Zielproteinen ermöglichen. Letzteres wurde durch die Verwendung von Ubiquitin-Intein-Fusionskonstrukten erreicht. Um eine größere synthetische Flexibilität zu erreichen, wurde die freie Thiolgruppe der Ubiquitinmutanten vorübergehend mit Phenacyl geschützt. Während dieser Arbeit wurden die Bedingungen für die Entfernung von Phenacyl verbessert. Durch Thiol-Ene-Kopplung zwischen den Thiolen in den Cys-Mutanten und C-terminalen Allylaminde-Modifikationen von Ub wurden eine Reihe von Diubiquitinen mit unterschiedlichen Lagen und ausgewählte Tri- und Tetraubiquitine erzeugt.
description: Ubiquitin is a small, highly conserved protein that plays a crucial role in a variety of cellular processes by tagging other proteins for degradation. Composed of 76 amino acids, ubiquitin is found in all eukaryotic cells. The process of ubiquitylation involves the attachment of one or more ubiquitin molecules to a substrate protein, marking it for recognition by the proteasome, a large protein complex responsible for degrading unneeded or damaged proteins. Since ubiquitin itself has 8 possible reaction sites for ubiquitylation, there are many possible poly-ubiquitin chains with different functions. The (patho-)physiological role of ubiquitin chains is not completely understood yet. The aim of this master’s thesis was to generate different ubiquitin mutants containing a Cys instead of Lys at the following positions: K11, K29, K48, K63 and with C-terminal modifications that allow to form covalent bonds between ubiquitin and target proteins. The latter was achieved by using ubiquitin-intein fusion constructs. To provide greater synthetic flexibility, the free thiol group of the ubiquitin mutants were transiently protected with phenacyl. During this work the removal conditions for phenacyl were improved. By thiol-ene coupling between the thiols in Cys mutants and C-terminal allylamide modifications of Ub, a series of diubiquitins with different likage types and selected tri- and tetraubiquitins were generated.

description: We present in this paper the hard X-ray view of the pulsar wind nebula in G11.2-0.3 and its central pulsar PSR J1811-1925 as seen by NuSTAR. We complement the data with Chandra for a more complete picture and confirm the existence of a hard, power-law component in the shell with photon index Gamma = 2.1 +/- 0.1, which we attribute to synchrotron emission. Our imaging observations of the shell show a slightly smaller radius at higher energies, consistent with Chandra results, and we find shrinkage as a function of increased energy along the jet direction, indicating that the electron outflow in the PWN may be simpler than that seen in other young PWNe. Combining NuSTAR with Integral, we find that the pulsar spectrum can be fit by a power-law with Gamma=1.32 +/- 0.07 up to 300 keV without evidence of curvature.

As a typical process, we study the constraints coming from the measurements on the B0-\bar{B0} system on the supersymmetric $δ^d_{13}$ parameters, as well as on the products of the lambda' type R-parity violating couplings. Present data allows us to put constraints on both the real and the imaginary parts of the relevant parameters.

description: Does the status of the parish as measured by membership size, pastor's salary and church expenditures affect the religiosity of the pastor? A mailed self-administered questionnaire resulted in a sample of 352 pastors of the Baltimore Conference of the United Methodist Church. This representative sample reflected a seventy-one percent response rate. The religiosity of the pastor was measured with four indices reflecting four distinctive dimensions of religiosity. The Belief Index assessed the conceptual sophistication with which the pastor expressed his/her personal religious beliefs by asking the pastor to select one of four responses to four religious beliefs. The Knowledge Index measured the pastor's knowledge about the Christian tradition and contemporary theology with five questions using multiple choice answers. The Commitment Index utilized a Likert-like response scale to measure the pastor's commitment to eleven specific value statements associated with religious sentiments. The Asceticism Index utilized four questions with forced-choice responses to assess the pastor's inclination toward asceticism or mysticism as a primary faith orientation. The status of the membership as measured by education and income rather than the status of the church consistently had strong associations with the measures of religiosity. Increased status of the membership was related to more conceptual sophistication in the way the pastor expressed his/her beliefs as well as to greater knowledge by the pastor about the Christian tradition. Increased status of the membership accompanied both decreased intensity in responses and more substantively liberal responses by the pastor on measures of subjective commitment. Pastors serving churches with higher status membership were more mystical and less ascetic in their faith type. Pastors with more education were conceptually more sophisticated in their beliefs as well as more knowledgeable about the Christian tradition. Although commitment expressed by these United Methodist pastors was not exclusivistic, dogmatic and intolerant on the whole, their subjective commitment became more inclusive, non-dogmatic and tolerant as the education of the pastor increased. Not only were these liberal sentiments more prominent among pastors with more education but also less intense. Asceticism tended to give way to mysticism as the education of the pastor increased.

description: We present a method for measuring quantum states encoded in the temporal modes of photons. The basis for the multilevel quantum states is defined by the use of modes propagating in a dispersive medium, which is a fiber in this case. The propagation and time-resolved single photon detection allow us to define a positive-operator valued measure (POVM). The POVM depends on the amount of dispersion and the characteristics of a detector. This framework is numerically tested by performing quantum state tomography on a large number of states for a set of realistic experimental settings. Finally, the average fidelity between the expected and reconstructed states is computed for qubits, qutrits and entangled qubits.

description: Urban agglomeration economies make cities central to theories of modern economic growth. There is historical evidence for the presence of Smithian growth and agglomeration effects in English towns c.1450-1670, but seminal assessments deny the presence of agglomeration effects and productivity gains to Early Modern English towns. This study evaluates the presence of increasing returns to scale (IRS) in aggregate urban economic outputs—the empirical signature of feedbacks between Smithian growth and agglomeration effects—among the towns of 16th century England. To do so, we test a model from settlement scaling theory against the 1524/5 Lay Subsidy returns. Analysis of these data indicates that Tudor towns exhibited IRS—a finding that is robust to alternative interpretations of the data. IRS holds even for the smallest towns in our sample, suggesting the absence of town size thresholds for the emergence of agglomeration effects. Spatial patterning of scaling residuals further suggests regional demand-side interactions with Smithian-agglomeration feedbacks. These findings suggest the presence of agglomeration effects and Smithian growth in pre-industrial English towns. This begs us to reconsider the economic performance of Early Modern English towns, and suggests that the qualitative economic dynamics of contemporary cities may be applicable to premodern settlements in general.

description: We study the embedding of cosmic strings, related to the Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortex solution, into d=4, N=1 supergravity. We find that the local cosmic string solution which saturates the BPS bound of supergravity with $D$-term potential for the Higgs field and with constant Fayet--Iliopoulos term, has 1/2 of supersymmetry unbroken. We observe an interesting relation between the gravitino supersymmetry transformation, positive energy condition and the deficit angle of the cosmic string. We argue that the string solutions with magnetic flux with F-term potential cannot be supersymmetric, which leads us to a conjecture that D1-strings (wrapped D(1+q)-branes) of string theory in the effective 4d supergravity are described by the D-term strings that we study in this paper. We give various consistency checks of this conjecture, and show that it highlights some generic properties of non-BPS string theory backgrounds, such as brane-anti-brane systems. Supersymmetry breaking by such systems can be viewed as FI D-term breaking, which implies, under certain conditions, the presence of gauged R-symmetry on such backgrounds. The D-term nature of the brane-anti-brane energy can also provide information on the superpotential for the tachyon, which Higgses the R-symmetry. In this picture, the inter-brane force can be viewed as a result of the world-volume gauge coupling renormalization by the open string loops.

Creators: name: Driscoll, Robert Francis
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation is an investigation of the motivations behind West German policies and behavior in the area of nuclear politics. It examines and attempts to explain this behavior using a taxonomy built around the factors of vulnerability, power, domestic support, and autonomy. These are called "international cooperative behavior" factors. Chapters I and II develop the taxonomy and define the factors in terms of the Federal Republic. Chapter III covers the period up through the functioning of the Nuclear Planning Group, while Chapter IV analyzes NATO's December 1979 modernization decision. The presentation is less chronological and more selective: it focuses on the four international cooperative behavior factors as explanatory concepts. Chapter V examines the utility of the taxonomy. It concludes that the factors of autonomy, domestic support and vulnerability appear to be key in understanding and predicting West German nuclear behavior. The chapter then studies the potential applicability of the taxonomy to other nations or issues. It concludes that the factors are very nation-specific, but they do in fact provide a useful classification and explanatory scheme.

description: We construct supersymmetric Lorentz violating operators for matter and gauge fields. We show that in the supersymmetric Standard Model the lowest possible dimension for such operators is five, and therefore they are suppressed by at least one power of an ultra--violet energy scale, providing a possible explanation for the smallness of Lorentz violation and its stability against radiative corrections. Supersymmetric Lorentz noninvariant operators do not lead to modifications of dispersion relations at high energies thereby escaping constraints from astrophysical searches for Lorentz violation.

description: Recently the renormalization of the band gap $m$, in both WSe$_2$ and MoS$_2$, has been experimentally measured as a function of the carrier concentration $n$. The main result establishes a decreasing of hundreds of meV, in comparison with the bare band gap, as the carrier concentration increases. These materials are known as transition metal dichalcogenides and their low-energy excitations are, approximately, described by the massive Dirac equation. Using Pseudo Quantum Electrodynamics (PQED) to describe the electromagnetic interaction between these quasiparticles and from renormalization group analysis, we obtain that the renormalized mass describes the band gap renormalization with a function given by $m(n)/m_0=(n/n_0)^{C_λ/2}$, where $m_0=m(n_0)$ and $C_λ$ is a function of the coupling constant $λ$. We compare our theoretical results with the experimental findings for WSe$_2$ and MoS$_2$, and we conclude that our approach is in agreement with these experimental results for reasonable values of $λ$. In addition we introduced a Gross-Neveu (GN) interaction which could simulate an disorder/impurity-like microscopic interaction. In this case, we show that there exists a critical coupling constant, namely, $λ_c \approx 0,66$ in which the beta function of the mass vanishes, providing a stable fixed point in the ultraviolet limit. For $λ>λ_c$, the renormalized mass decreases while for $λ

description: The present paper represents an attempt for a very generic string inspired theory of gravitation, based on a stringy action in the teleparallel gravity which includes a specific functional which depends on the scalar field and its kinetic energy, as well as the torsion and boundary terms, embedding also possible effects from the teleparallel Gauss--Bonnet invariants. We focus our study on FLRW cosmology. After we deduce the cosmological equations for the associated generic theory of gravitation, we focus on string inspired couplings which are studied by considering different analytical techniques. The first analytical technique is based on the linear stability theory, by introducing proper dimensionless variables which enables us to study the structure of the phase space and the associated physical effects. In this case, we have obtained different cosmological solutions which correspond to matter and dark energy dominated solutions, achieving a possible transition between matter and dark energy dominated epochs. For each type of cosmological solutions, we have discussed the corresponding physical features, attaining viable constraints for the coupling constants due to dynamical effects. The dynamical study of the physical features included also a numerical analysis by fine--tuning the initial conditions deep into the matter era, obtaining possible trajectories for the effective equation of state for specific coupling functions.

Life cycle assessment and UBC

description: This document gives an overview of the discussions regarding how LCA can be incorporated into UBC's Building Design and Operations Guidelines, the findings of a LCA study carried out on UBC buildings and how the information can be used in sustainability programs, and the next steps to institutionalizing LCA at UBC. UBC has numerous actions plans, guidelines and standards which assist consultants in incorporating sustainability to their building design. However, references to LCA are minimal in many of these documents even though it is the only science-based tool to quantitatively support the decision making of building design in terms of its environmental impact and overall sustainability. Recommendations to further incorporate LCA into Climate Action Plan, Vancouver Campus Plan Part 3 Design Guidelines, Technical Guidelines, UBC RFI Evaluation Criteria, and LEED v4 have been made in the report. This will allow LCA to have a bigger presence in UBC building design and operations, resulting in construction of greener, more sustainable infrastructures in the future. Data were compiled in previous years for Civil 498c by completing quantity takeoffs and LCA studies for individual UBC Buildings, which was then used to improve overall sustainability of buildings on campus. However, this year's class objective uses LCA studies done by previous years to observe how current UBC buildings are impacting the environment and how materials and design components will affect impact categories from each building. The results from this year's projects give a good insight on how easily LEED points can be awarded without substantial reduction in environmental impacts. The next step to institutionalize LCA is to consider LCA tools, databases and LCIA methods. Suitable programs are researched in order to find suitable ones such as Athena EIE and TRACI. Decision methods and weighting criteria are also considered to meet UBC's Green Building initiative. Recommendations for institutionalizing LCA in UBC are stated in regards to the success factors such as an entrepreneur who pushes LCA initiatives, the involvement of practitioners and development of a formalized structure. Suggestions to educational and communication initiatives are developed while keeping the success factors in mind. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

Hybrid LQG-Neural Controller for Inverted Pendulum System

description: The paper presents a hybrid system controller, incorporating a neural and an LQG controller. The neural controller has been optimized by genetic algorithms directly on the inverted pendulum system. The failure free optimization process stipulated a relatively small region of the asymptotic stability of the neural controller, which is concentrated around the regulation point. The presented hybrid controller combines benefits of a genetically optimized neural controller and an LQG controller in a single system controller. High quality of the regulation process is achieved through utilization of the neural controller, while stability of the system during transient processes and a wide range of operation are assured through application of the LQG controller. The hybrid controller has been validated by applying it to a simulation model of an inherently unstable system of inverted pendulum.

description: We report the discovery of non-thermal pulsed X-ray/soft gamma-ray emission up to about 150 keV from the anomalous X-ray pulsar AXP 1E 1841-045 located near the centre of supernova remnant Kes 73 using RXTE PCA and HEXTE data. The morphology of the double-peaked pulse profile changes rapidly with energy from 2 keV up to about 8 keV, above which the pulse shape remains more or less stable. The pulsed spectrum is very hard, its shape above 10 keV can be described well by a power law with a photon index of 0.94 +/- 0.16. 1E 1841-045 is the first AXP for which such very-hard pulsed emission has been detected, which points to an origin in the magnetosphere of a magnetar.

description: $B$ processes are a rich source of potential anomalies that could lead to the discovery of BSM physics. The long-standing tension between the inclusive and the exclusive determinations of the CKM matrix elements $|V_{xb}|$, or the current tensions in the $R(D)$-$R(D^\ast)$ plane are some examples of active areas of research where we might find signals of new physics. Heavy-to-heavy $B$ semileptonic decays, $B_{(s)}\to D^{(\ast)}_{(s)}\ellν$, and in particular, decays with a vector product ($D^\ast_{(s)}$) are especially interesting from an experimental point of view, but experiment and theory must walk together in order to reach conclusions in the intensity frontier. In this review I talk about the current status of the lattice-QCD calculations of the $B\to D^{\ast}\ellν$ form factors at non-zero recoil, I discuss the implications they have for the determination of $B$ anomalies, and finally I give some hints of what we can expect from future calculations.
