description: The resonance frequency of an InAs quantum dot strongly coupled to a GaAs photonic crystal cavity was electrically controlled via quantum confined Stark effect. Stark shifts up to 0.3meV were achieved using a lateral Schottky electrode that created a local depletion region at the location of the quantum dot. We report switching of a probe laser coherently coupled to the cavity up to speeds as high as 150MHz, limited by the RC constant of the transmission line. The coupling rate and the magnitude of the Stark shift with electric field were investigated while coherently probing the system.

Ich rechne zwei Stücke zu dieser Art, obschon sie in der Anordnung der postmentalia von der Hallowell'schen Zeichnung abweichen. Das Hauptmerkmal, die regelmässig chevronartige Anordnung der diehtgesetzten Rückentuberkel über die ganze Breite des Rückens ist in exquisiter Weise vorhanden. Die meisten dieser Tuberkel erscheinen in unsern Stücken dreikantig, wie mit den Schiﬁllächen eines Glaserdiamants. Abweichend vom Original vereinigen sich die ersten postinentalia hinter dem mentale in breiter Sutur. — Supralabialia. blos 8—9. Bei dem einen 14 Femoralporen auf jeder Seite, beim andern blos 2 (in der Nähe des Kniees); über dem After keine Poren. Die Tuberkel des Scbwanzes stehen bei demjenigen Stück, welches den primären Schwanz noch besitzt, nicht unregelmässig, sondern ringförmig angeordnet; sie sind sehr spitz.
Die ganze Haut, Tuberkel und Interstitien, ist mit sehr feinen schwarzen Punkten übersäet; ich zähle auf einem Tuberkel zwischen 50 und 60 solcher Punkte.

We study the properties of $f_{\hatλ}$ as an estimator of $f_*$ for regression models with random design, extending some of the results of Candes and Tao (and providing alternative proofs of these results).

description: The normalized radial distribution of young stellar populations (and cold gas) in nearby galactic disks is compared between AGN host galaxies and starforming galaxies (both with Hubble types between S0/a and Scd) by using type II supernovae (SNe) as tracers. A subset of 140 SNe\,II with available supernova position measurements are selected from the SAI-SDSS image catalog by requiring available SDSS spectroscopy data of their host galaxies. Our sample is finally composed of 46 AGNs and 94 starforming galaxies. Both directly measured number distributions and inferred surface density distributions indicate that a) the SNe detected in starforming galaxies follow an exponential law well; b) by contrast, the SNe detected in AGN host galaxies significantly deviate from an exponential law, which is independent of both morphological type and redshift. Specifically, we find a detection deficit around $R_{\mathrm{SN}}/R_{25,\mathrm{cor}}\sim0.5$ and an over-detection at outer region $R_{\mathrm{SN}}/R_{25,\mathrm{cor}}\sim0.6-0.8$. This finding provides a piece of evidence supporting that there is a link between ongoing star formation (and cold gas reservoir) taking place in the extended disk and central AGN activity.

We show that the mean distance takes a pronounced minimum around the surface of the nucleus, indicating a strong surface di-neutron correlation. We demonstrate that the pairing correlation plays an essential role in this behavior. We also discuss the di-neutron structure in the $^8$He nucleus.

description: The Crab Pulsar is a relatively young neutron star. The pulsar is the central star in the Crab Nebula, a remnant of the supernova SN 1054, which was observed on Earth in the year 1054. The Crab Pulsar has been extensively observed in the gamma-ray energy band by the Large Area Telescope (LAT), the main instrument onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, during its first months of data taking. The LAT data have been used to reconstruct the fluxes and the energy spectra of the pulsed gamma-ray component and of the gamma-rays from the nebula. The results on the pulsed component are in good agreement with the previous measurement from EGRET, while the results on the nebula are consistent with the observations from Earth based telescopes.

description: Oppenheimer and Snyder found in 1939 that gravitational collapse in vacuum produces a "frozen star", i.e., the collapsing matter only asymptotically approaches the gravitational radius (event horizon) of the mass, but never crosses it within a finite time for an external observer. Based upon our recent publication on the problem of gravitational collapse in the physical universe for an external observer, the following results are reported here: (1) Matter can indeed fall across the event horizon within a finite time and thus BHs, rather than "frozen stars", are formed in gravitational collapse in the physical universe. (2) Matter fallen into an astrophysical black hole can never arrive at the exact center; the exact interior distribution of matter depends upon the history of the collapse process. Therefore gravitational singularity does not exist in the physical universe. (3) The metric at any radius is determined by the global distribution of matter, i.e., not only by the matter inside the given radius, even in a spherically symmetric and pressureless gravitational system. This is qualitatively different from the Newtonian gravity and the common (mis)understanding of the Birkhoff's Theorem. This result does not contract the "Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi" solution for an external observer.

description: The strangeness of the nucleon, - <0|ss|0>, is a quantity of interest for interpreting the results of dark matter detection experiments as well as for exploring the structure of the nucleon itself. We present a calculation of this quantity in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD using a range of lattice spacings and quark masses. The method is based on calculating quark-line disconnected contributions on the MILC lattice configurations, which include the effects of dynamical strange quarks. After continuum and chiral extrapolations, the value is - <0|ss|0> = 0.69 +/- 0.07(stat) +/- 0.09(sys) in the msbar(2GeV) regularization.

La misurazione della performance nelle società partecipate: una proposta metodologica

description: A partire dagli anni '80 e '90, in seguito all'avvento del paradigma del New Public Management (Pollitt, 1993), le società̀ a partecipazione pubblica sono diventate uno dei fenomeni più̀ discussi e affrontato sia dalla letteratura scientifica che dal legislatore. Il Contributo fondamentale di questo lavoro è quello di descrivere le varie teorie utilizzate per le performance delle Società̀ a partecipazione pubblica poiché̀, nonostante il crescente interesse sulle società̀ a capitale pubblico, specialmente a livello locale, povero risulta ancora l’interesse verso il tema della performance (Ringkjøb et al., 2008; Grossi et al., 2015). Ampio filone della letteratura ha sempre concentrato la valutazione della performance delle società̀ pubbliche sulla redditività̀ e sull’efficienza, dimostrando una sostanziale differenza di rendimento rispetto alle società̀ a capitale privato (Boardman, Vining 1989). Tutto ciò̀ porta a considerare la teoria del valore pubblico e le sue dimensioni di misurazione come il framework più̀ adatto in letteratura capace di dare risposte alle numerose dimensioni di performance delle società̀ a partecipazione pubblica.

description: We investigate a two-level model with a large number of open decay channels in order to describe avoided level crossing statistics in open chaotic billiards. This model allows us to describe the fundamental changes of the probability distribution of the avoided level crossings compared with the closed case. Explicit expressions are derived for systems with preserved and broken Time Reversal Symmetry (TRS). We find that the decay process induces a modification at small spacings of the probability distribution of the avoided level crossings due to an attraction of the resonances. The theoretical predictions are in complete agreement with the recent experimental results of Dietz \textit{et al.} (Phys. Rev. E {\bf 73} (2006) 035201).

Higgs induced FCNC as a source of new physics in $b\to s $ transitions

description: The observations in the $B_{s}$ sector suggest the existence of some new physics contribution to the $B_S-\bar{B}_s$ mixing. We study the implications of a hypothesis that this contribution is generated by the Higgs induced flavour changing neutral currents. We concentrate on the specific $b\to s$ transition which is described by two complex FCNC parameters $F_{23}$ and $F_{32}$ and parameters in the Higgs sector. Model independent constraints on these parameters are derived from the $B_S-\bar{B}_s$ mixing and are used to predict the branching ratios for $\bar{B}_s\to μ^+μ^-$ and $\bar{B}_d\to \bar{K}μ^+μ^-$ numerically by considering general variations in the Higgs parameters assuming that Higgs sector conserves CP. Taking the results on $B_{s}^0-\bar{B}_{s}^0$ mixing derived by the global analysis of UTfit group as a guide we present the general constraints on $F_{23}^*F_{32}$ in terms of the pseudo-scalar mass $M_A$. The former is required to be in the range $\sim (1-5) \times 10^{-11} M_A^2 {\rm GeV}^{-2}$ if the Higgs induced FCNC represent the dominant source of new physics. The phases of these couplings can account for the large CP violating phase in the $B_{s}^0-\bar{B}_{s}^0$ mixing except when $F_{23}=F_{32}$. The Higgs contribution to $\bar{B}_s\to μ^+μ^-$ branching ratio can be large, close to the present limit while it remains close to the standard model value in case of the process $\bar{B}_d\to \bar{K}μ^+μ^-$ for all the models under study. We identify and discuss various specific examples which can naturally lead to suppressed FCNC in the $K^0-\bar{K}^0$ mixing allowing at the same time the required values for $F_{23}^*$ and $F_{32}$.

$f(R)$ gravity theories in the Palatini Formalism constrained from strong lensing

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: $f(R)$ gravity, capable of driving the late-time acceleration of the universe, is emerging as a promising alternative to dark energy. Various $f(R)$ gravity models have been intensively tested against probes of the expansion history, including type Ia supernovae (SNIa), the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). In this paper we propose to use the statistical lens sample from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Lens Search Data Release 3 (SQLS DR3) to constrain $f(R)$ gravity models. This sample can probe the expansion history up to $z\sim2.2$, higher than what probed by current SNIa and BAO data. We adopt a typical parameterization of the form $f(R)=R-αH^2_0(-\frac{R}{H^2_0})^β$ with $α$ and $β$ constants. For $β=0$ ($Λ$CDM), we obtain the best-fit value of the parameter $α=-4.193$, for which the 95% confidence interval that is [-4.633, -3.754]. This best-fit value of $α$ corresponds to the matter density parameter $Ω_{m0}=0.301$, consistent with constraints from other probes. Allowing $β$ to be free, the best-fit parameters are $(α, β)=(-3.777, 0.06195)$. Consequently, we give $Ω_{m0}=0.285$ and the deceleration parameter $q_0=-0.544$. At the 95% confidence level, $α$ and $β$ are constrained to [-4.67, -2.89] and [-0.078, 0.202] respectively. Clearly, given the currently limited sample size, we can only constrain $β$ within the accuracy of $Δβ\sim 0.1$ and thus can not distinguish between $Λ$CDM and $f(R)$ gravity with high significance, and actually, the former lies in the 68% confidence contour. We expect that the extension of the SQLS DR3 lens sample to the SDSS DR5 and SDSS-II will make constraints on the model more stringent.

description: N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is a disinfection byproduct that forms at the presence of an organic nitrogen precursor. Doxylamine, an antihistaminic pharmaceutical, is a precursor of NDMA and has been shown to form NDMA in the presence of chloramine. In this study, the effect of Doxylamine as an NDMA precursor has been further studied during chloramination. The end product and byproducts during chloramination were investigated using a high-resolution mass spectrometer by taking samples at different time intervals. Results suggest that NDMA is not the only end product forming during chloramination of Doxylamine and several transformation products that do not end up as NDMA may form. A group of these transformation products have been selected based on their relative amounts during chloramination with time and notated as Focus Tentative Transformation Products (FTTPn). The identification of these byproducts will make it easier to study the conditions during chloramination that may favour these ‘known’ transformation products with the use of less sophisticated analytical instruments. Then, it might lead to the establishment of chloramination protocols that will minimise the formation of NDMA from its precursors.

description: Upon application of a uniform strain, internal sub-lattice shifts within the unit cell of a non-centrosymmetric dielectric crystal result in the appearance of a net dipole moment: a phenomenon well known as piezoelectricity. A macroscopic strain gradient on the other hand can induce polarization in dielectrics of any crystal structure, even those which possess a centrosymmetric lattice. This phenomenon, called flexoelectricity, has both bulk and surface contributions: the strength of the bulk contribution can be characterized by means of a material property tensor called the bulk flexoelectric tensor. Several recent studies suggest that strain-gradient induced polarization may be responsible for a variety of interesting and anomalous electromechanical phenomena in materials including electromechanical coupling effects in non-uniformly strained nanostructures, dead layer effects in nanocapacitor systems, and giant piezoelectricity in perovskite nanostructures among others. In this work, adopting a lattice dynamics based microscopic approach we provide estimates of the flexoelectric tensor for certain cubic ionic crystals, perovskite dielectrics, III-V and II-VI semiconductors. We compare our estimates with experimental and theoretical values wherever available, address the discrepancy that exists between different experimental estimates and also re-visit the validity of an existing empirical scaling relationship for the magnitude of flexoelectric coefficients in terms of material parameters.

Wnt and gap junction proteins cooperatively regulate axonal and presynaptic tiling in Caenorhabditis elegans
Creators: name: Hendi, Ardalan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Precise synaptic connection of neurons with their targets is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. A plethora of signaling pathways act in concert to mediate the precise spatial arrangement of synaptic connections. One method of ensuring proper wiring in the nervous system is through neuronal tiling. Neuronal tiling is a phenomenon in which neurons project axons and dendrites without overlapping with those of neighbouring neurons within the same class. While neuronal tiling is observed in several types of neurons across species, the molecular mechanisms remain less studied. My thesis aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal tiling using C. elegans as a model organism, in which neuronal tiling is present in the GABAergic motor neurons. I found that axonal tiling between two neighbouring GABAergic motor neurons is regulated by a Wnt morphogen. However, disrupting axonal tiling did not affect presynaptic tiling between the two neurons. I showed that presynaptic tiling is controlled by a gap junction protein, UNC-9, which is localized at the presynaptic tiling border between neighbouring DD neurons. Strikingly, the gap junction channel activity of UNC- 9 is dispensable for its function in controlling tiled presynaptic patterning. While gap junctions are crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system as channels, my findings uncovered the novel channel-independent role of UNC-9 in presynaptic patterning.

description: We propose a trilayer $π$-junction that takes advantage of the unconventional $s_{x^2 y^2}=\cos k_x \cos k_y$ pairing symmetry which changes sign between electron and hole Fermi pockets in the iron pnictides. In addition, we also present theoretical results for Andreev bound states in thin superconductor-normal metal (or insulator) iron-pnictide junctions. The presence of nontrivial in-gap states, which uniquely appear in this unconventional pairing state, is a distinct feature in comparison to other singlet pairing states.

description: We propose and investigate a general form of the dissipative coefficient $Γ=C_ϕT^{m}/ϕ^{m-1}$ in warm inflation. We focus on discussing the strong dissipative processes $r=Γ/3H\gg1$ in the thermal state of approximate equilibrium. To this toy model, we give the slow-roll conditions, the amplitude and the index of the power spectrum under the general form of dissipative coefficient. Furthermore, the monomial potential and the hybrid-like potential are analyzed specifically. We conclude that the $m=0,3$ cases are worthy further investigation especially.

Black-box systems
Panel discussion
Qualitative exploratory study

description: Online elections and polls are increasingly gaining ground. Since the beginning of the pandemic, many associations, companies and agencies opted for online elections at some point. Yet, most of these elections use online voting systems that are a black box for voters, even though the current state of research offers cryptographic means that would allow voters to detect potential manipulations, e.g., by methods for end-to-end (E2E) verifiability. In this paper, we report on qualitative exploratory research to determine the reasons for this situation. We evaluate responses from a panel at a national conference in Germany by specialists from official agencies, industry, and academia, whom we asked why election organizers still largely opt for systems that are not verifiable and how this could be changed. We furthermore present an exploratory study in which we asked program committee members from relevant international conferences to assess the obtained panel responses on their accuracy, relevance, and completeness. Finally, we discuss possible next steps for strengthening our findings and how to implement them to see more verifiable voting systems being used in the future.
Is the cold spot responsible for the CMB North-South asymmetry?

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: Several intriguing phenomena, unlikely within the standard inflationary cosmology, were reported in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) data from WMAP and appear to be uncorrelated. Two of these phenomena, termed CMB anomalies, are representative of their disparate nature: the North-South asymmetry in the CMB angular-correlation strength, inconsistent with an isotropic universe, and the cold spot, producing a significant deviation from Gaussianity. We find a cause-effect relationship between them, at medium angular scales (l = 11 - 20): we show that a successive diminution of the cold spot (absolute-value) temperature implies a monotonic decrease of the North-South asymmetry power, and moreover we find that the cold spot supplies 60% of such power.

Civic patienthood : a critical grounded theory of how patients transform from clinical subjects to civic actors
Creators: name: Macdonald, Graham George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Patient engagement in health research is a multifaceted movement with different values, ideas, and interests animating its practice. Many of these values, ideas, and interests claim to be patient-centered, but the meaning of patient-centeredness tends to shift with perspective. How people understand the nature of the problems of illness plays a large role in how they navigate them and pursue solutions. The creation of collective “patient voices” that articulate “patient perspectives” drawn from “patient experiences” is central to the process of patient engagement in research. This is how patient engagement in research seeks to integrate ‘democratic’ processes within scientific research. In this context, the concerns of the “patient” are no longer medical per se, but civic. While health research systems are in the process of encouraging the transition to patient-engaged modes of research, there is currently little systematic understanding of how patients transform from clinical subjects to civic actors. This process has generated controversy about what a patient perspective is, how exactly it is rooted in patient experience, and how either of these can be represented in a singular voice in public affairs. This dissertation explores how patient research partners in an arthritis research patient advisory board interpret their own experiences of health and illness and how this shapes their perspectives as patient research partners. From this basis, I form a theory of “modes of patienthood” that distinguish different realms of experience and modes of action implied by the term “patient.” To test this theory, I further examine civic patienthood in a second qualitative study of the experience of members of health research networks related to bipolar disorder and chronic kidney disease in their efforts at practicing patient engagement in research. The dissertation concludes with a critical reflection on the meaning of civic patienthood contextualized within history of medicine.

description: We provide a quantitative characterization of dissipative effects in one-dimensional granular crystals. We use the propagation of highly nonlinear solitary waves as a diagnostic tool and develop optimization schemes that allow one to compute the relevant exponents and prefactors of the dissipative terms in the equations of motion. We thereby propose a quantitatively-accurate extension of the Hertzian model that encompasses dissipative effects via a discrete Laplacian of the velocities. Experiments and computations with steel, brass, and polytetrafluoroethylene reveal a {\em common} dissipation exponent with a material-dependent prefactor.

Branching Schubert calculus and the Belkale-Kumar product on cohomology
Creators: name: Ressayre, Nicolas
name: Richmond, Edward
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In 2006, Belkale and Kumar define a new product on the cohomology of flag varieties and use this new product to give an improved solution to the eigencone problem for complex reductive groups. In this paper, we give a generalization of the Belkale-Kumar product to the branching Schubert calculus setting. The study of Branching Schubert calculus attempts to understand the induced map on cohomology of an equivariant embedding of flag varieties. The main application of our work is a compact formulation of the solution to the branching eigencone problem.
Deuterium Fractionation as an Evolutionary Probe in the Infrared Dark Cloud G28.34+0.06

description: We have observed the J=3-2 transition of N2H+ and N2D+ to investigate the trend of deuterium fractionation with evolutionary stage in three selected regions in the Infrared Dark Cloud (IRDC) G28.34+0.06 with the Submillimeter Telescope (SMT) and the Submillimeter Array (SMA). A comprehensible enhancement of roughly 3 orders of magnitude in deuterium fractionation over the local interstellar D/H ratio is observed in all sources. In particular, our sample of massive star-forming cores in G28.34+0.06 shows a moderate decreasing trend over a factor of 3 in the N(N2D+)/N(N2H+) ratio with evolutionary stage, a behavior resembling what previously found in low-mass protostellar cores. This suggests a possible extension for the use of the N(N2D+)/N(N2H+) ratio as an evolutionary tracer to high-mass protostellar candidates. In the most evolved core, MM1, the N2H+ (3-2) emission appears to avoid the warm region traced by dust continuum emission and emission of 13CO sublimated from grain mantles, indicating an instant release of gas-phase CO. The majority of the N2H+ and N2D+ emission is associated with extended structures larger than 8" (~ 0.2 pc).

The impact of human development in corruption mitigation: a comparative analysis between Macedonia and Albania
Creators: name: Mazllami, Jeton
Publisher: name: Economia Aziendale Online
Year: 2019

description: The Republic of Macedonia as a transitional economy is not a well- developed country from the economic, social and political points of view. It is characterized by low economic growth, low attraction of foreign investments, and high level of corruption, high unemployment rate and issues with the neighbouring countries. The main goal of this study is to assess the impact of HD index in the reduction of corruption as a way to establish conditions for economic development. The period of assessment will be from 2006 till 2016. The Republic of Macedonia from 2006 till 2016 has witnessed improvement in terms of CPI (Corruption Perception Index), from the 105th position it has risen to the 90th position on ranking, but on the same time this is not a satisfying position compared to the other Western Balkans countries. We think that by improving health of life, level of education and having a decent standard of living can contribute to corruption mitigation. Using the multiple regression model (OLS) we will try to determine the effect of increasing HD index to reduction of the corruption effects and to compare the results between Macedonia and Albania. The limitation of this paper is the smaller number of observations as a result of the short period of analysis because of the lack of adequate analytical data for the countries that are object of this assessment.

description: We report on archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the globular cluster M71 (NGC 6838). These observations, covering the core of the globular cluster, were performed by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2). Inside the half-mass radius (r_h = 1.65') of M71, we find 33 candidate optical counterparts to 25 out of 29 Chandra X-ray sources while outside the half-mass radius, 6 possible optical counterparts to 4 X-ray sources are found. Based on the X-ray and optical properties of the identifications, we find 1 certain and 7 candidate cataclysmic variables (CVs). We also classify 2 and 12 X-ray sources as certain and potential chromospherically active binaries (ABs), respectively. The only star in the error circle of the known millisecond pulsar (MSP) is inconsistent with being the optical counterpart. The number of X-ray faint sources with L_x>4x10^{30} ergs/s (0.5-6.0 keV) found in M71 is higher than extrapolations from other clusters on the basis of either collision frequency or mass. Since the core density of M71 is relatively low, we suggest that those CVs and ABs are primordial in origin.

description: We have performed high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on the optimally-doped Ba$_{0.6}$K$_{0.4}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ compound and determined the accurate momentum dependence of the superconducting (SC) gap in four Fermi-surface sheets including a newly discovered outer electron pocket at the M point. The SC gap on this pocket is nearly isotropic and its magnitude is comparable ($Δ$ $\sim$ 11 meV) to that of the inner electron and hole pockets ($\sim$12 meV), although it is substantially larger than that of the outer hole pocket ($\sim$6 meV). The Fermi-surface dependence of the SC gap value is basically consistent with $Δ$($k$) = $Δ$$_0$cos$k_x$cos$k_y$ formula expected for the extended s-wave symmetry. The observed finite deviation from the simple formula suggests the importance of multi-orbital effects.
