description: This thesis seeks to answer the question, “Where is queer tap dance?” Drawing from work in queer studies and tap dance history, I search for moments in tap dance performance where tap has been loosened from heteronormative conventions. “Loose Taps” is divided into two acts. The first act examines two numbers that mobilize crossdressing to explore more fluid masculinities: “Expressing Yourself,” from the popular musical Billy Elliot, and Caleb Teicher’s Not So Impossible. A brief intermission theorizes the queer potential of musicality in Lindy Hop, a parallel jazz dance form. In the second act, I study “Turn it Off” from Book Of Mormon and Josh Hilberman’s The Warrior, two choreographies that exaggerate tap’s spectacle and sound to approach a queer themes. In writing this thesis, I hope to open up the floor to further research into queerness and tap dance.

description: We report on the CEP stabilization of an Yb-doped fiber amplifier system delivering 30 microjoules, 100 fs pulses at 100 kHz repetition rate. A single shot, every shot, measurement of the CEP stability based on a simple f-2f interferometer is performed, yielding a CEP standard deviation of 320 mrad rms over 1 s. Long-term stability is also assessed, with 380 mrad measured over one hour. This level of performance is allowed by a hybrid architecture including a passively CEP-stabilized front-end based on difference frequency generation, and an active CEP stabilization loop for the fiber amplifier system, acting on a telecom-grade integrated LiNbO3 phase modulator. These results demonstrate the full compatibility of Yb-doped high repetition rate laser for attoscience.

Lost and Found in Translation: Cross-Lingual Question Answering with Result Translation
Creators: Parton, Kristen Patricia
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Computer science

description: Using cross-lingual question answering (CLQA), users can find information in languages that they do not know. In this thesis, we consider the broader problem of CLQA with result translation, where answers retrieved by a CLQA system must be translated back to the user's language by a machine translation (MT) system. This task is challenging because answers must be both relevant to the question and adequately translated in order to be correct. In this work, we show that integrating the MT closely with cross-lingual retrieval can improve result relevance and we further demonstrate that automatically correcting errors in the MT output can improve the adequacy of translated results. To understand the task better, we undertake detailed error analyses examining the impact of MT errors on CLQA with result translation. We identify which MT errors are most detrimental to the task and how different cross-lingual information retrieval (CLIR) systems respond to different kinds of MT errors. We describe two main types of CLQA errors caused by MT errors: lost in retrieval errors, where relevant results are not returned, and lost in translation errors, where relevant results are perceived irrelevant due to inadequate MT. To address the lost in retrieval errors, we introduce two novel models for cross-lingual information retrieval that combine complementary source-language and target-language information from MT. We show empirically that these hybrid, bilingual models outperform both monolingual models and a prior hybrid model. Even once relevant results are retrieved, if they are not translated adequately, users will not understand that they are relevant. Rather than improving a specific MT system, we take a more general approach that can be applied to the output of any MT system. Our adequacy-oriented automatic post-editors (APEs) use resources from the CLQA context and information from the MT system to automatically detect and correct phrase-level errors in MT at query time, focusing on the errors that are most likely to impact CLQA: deleted or missing content words and mistranslated named entities. Human evaluations show that these adequacy-oriented APEs can successfully adapt task-agnostic MT systems to the needs of the CLQA task. Since there is no existing test data for translingual QA or IR tasks, we create a translingual information retrieval (TLIR) evaluation corpus. Furthermore, we develop an analysis framework for isolating the impact of MT errors on CLIR and on result understanding, as well as evaluating the whole TLIR task. We use the TLIR corpus to carry out a task-embedded MT evaluation, which shows that our CLIR models address lost in retrieval errors, resulting in higher TLIR recall; and that the APEs successfully correct many lost in translation errors, leading to more adequately translated results.

description: Sussex Archaeological Collections, 142, 79-92
description: An area of c.7m by c.7m was mechanically stripped following the discovery of buried features during an archaeological evaluation of the site. The remains of a substantial structure were uncovered in the western half of the excavation area. The surviving masonry consisted mainly of flint and chalk/clunch, bonded with a sandy mortar. A single sherd of pottery dating from AD 1300--1400 was recovered from the foundation trench. A chalk-lined well was located below the corner of the building from which pottery dating from 1200--1275 was recovered, and the masonry also truncated a pit from which a pottery assemblage dating from 1225--1325 was recovered. More limited structural remains built on a similar orientation were encountered in the eastern half of the site. Part of one of the structures truncated a pit containing pottery dating from 1125--1225. Hence all the structural remains encountered during the excavations appear to be of late medieval date. The other features consisted of a small group of pits and post-holes. Medieval pottery was recovered from nineteen separate contexts. The earliest group dates from 1125--1225, with the latest group dating from 1325--1425. Other finds include glazed roof tiles, floor tiles, slate, metalwork and animal bone (including fish) and charred seed remains. Specialist reports include

description: Polar liquids are strong absorbers of electromagnetic waves in the terahertz range, therefore, historically such liquids have not been considered as good candidates for terahertz sources. However, flowing liquid medium has explicit advantages, such as a higher damage threshold compared to solid-state sources and more efficient ionization process compared to gases. Here we report systematic study of efficient generation of terahertz radiation in flat liquid jets under sub-picosecond single-color optical excitation. We demonstrate how medium parameters such as molecular density, ionization energy and linear absorption contribute to the terahertz emission from the flat liquid jets. Our simulation and experimental measurements reveal that the terahertz energy has quasi-quadratic dependence on the optical excitation pulse energy. Moreover, the optimal pump pulse duration, which depends on the thickness of the jet is theoretically predicted and experimentally confirmed. The obtained optical-to-terahertz energy conversion efficiency is more than 0.05%. It is comparable to the commonly used optical rectification in most of electro-optical crystals and two-color air filamentation. These results, significantly advancing prior research, can be successfully applied to create a new alternative source of terahertz radiation.

Losing the Margin: Poetry and Poetic Form in the Victorian Novel

description: Invoked as the novel's generic other, poetry is simultaneously central and marginal in our understanding of the Victorian novel.  Poetry is the idealism to the novel's realism, the elevated verse to the novel's prosaic prose, entering into our theories of the novel only so that it can be expelled.  Even when we define the novel as the genre of complete inclusion, poetry is singled out as the ultimate expression of monoglossia, which the novel subsumes without altering its own generic identity.  In my dissertation, Losing the Margin: Poetry and Poetic Form in the Victorian Novel, I argue that Victorian novelists engage poetry not as a simple foil against which to defend the borders of their genre, but as a shifting collection of representational techniques that highlight the limitations of the novel and attempt to transgress them.

description: Steyning was a burh by 1024-30 according to the evidence of the Saxon coin mint. Archaeologically, no evidence of the11lth-century town had been found by 1967 when an opportunity occurred to mount a rescue excavation in a shallow valley running south from the imposing Norman church. The excavations, although yielding some 10th-century material including a coin of Edgar, were predominantly of 12th-century material lying on the upper slope of the valley. The lack of conclusive evidence of early house plans suggested the site was on the fringe of the town, in the backyards of plots whose ditched boundaries may have dated back to an earlier field system. In the discussion of the site, ideas are put forward about the location of the early town and of the port .
Probability density and scaling exponents of the moments of longitudinal velocity difference in strong turbulence

description: We consider a few cases of homogeneous and isotropic turbulence differing by the mechanisms of turbulence generation. The advective terms in the Navier-Stokes and Burgers equations are similar. It is proposed that the longitudinal structure functions $S_{n}(r)$ in homogeneous and isotropic three- dimensional turbulence are governed by a one-dimensional equation of motion, resembling the 1D-Burgers equation, with the strongly non-local pressure contributions accounted for by galilean-invariance-breaking terms. The resulting equations, not involving parameters taken from experimental data, give both scaling exponents and amplitudes of the structure functions in an excellent agreement with experimental data. The derived probability density function $P(Δu,r)\neq P(-Δu,r)$ but $P(Δu,r)=P(-Δu,-r)$, in accord with the symmetry properties of the Navier-Stokes equations. With decrease of the displacement $r$, the probability density, which cannot be represented in a scale-invariant form, shows smooth variation from the gaussian at the large scales to close-to-exponential function, thus demonstrating onset of small-scale intermittency. It is shown that accounting for the sub-dominant contributions to the structure functions $S_{n}(r)\propto r^{ξ_{n}}$ is crucial for derivation of the amplitudes of the moments of velocity difference.

Loose Train of Arguments around the false opposition of Cartesian Idealism and scientific "reductive Materialism".The specifically human dimension of materiality is the assemblage of artificial life-worlds, social interaction, interior states and natural and artificial surroundings, taken as a whole without totality (as exemplified by both Üxküll and Latour).In order to honour both human subjectivity (of the Modern Western type) and the new focus on "the material" in science and humanities I propose the use of Bourdieu's concept and methodological tool of "habitus". Any habitus is always already a subjectivity emerging from objective conditions, and an objective space of resonance in order for subjectivity to be acquired and maintained. Habitus is also always already shared in a state of social and material co-evolution. In a final step I criticize the academic habitus as milieu of "New Materialism" rendering it yet one more fashion that cannot do justice to the matter at hand (a criticism that has been confirmed during the 5 years since the paper has been written).In a final outlook I propose "inertia" as a guiding non/concept to materialize shared human materiality in an act of residence beyond the fashions of discourse.

description: The French have seen Louisiana in many different lights: as pictured in the accounts --  sometimes dry and matter-of-fact, sometimes brazenly mendacious  -- of the early explorers; as an Eldorado which drew Parisian speculators to the bank-windows of the shrewd Scot, John Law; as a worthless stretch of marshy lands handed over to Spain, and then sold to the United States by Napoleon; as the gorgeous country of Meschacebé, peopled by Chateaubriand’s Indians, birds, bears, and fragrant trees; as the home of French colonial memories, and the refuge of a serene and picturesque culture sought by a few modern travelers in the United States who refuse to be content with visiting New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Hollywood. Louisiana of these French records is the subject of this dissertation.

There is little to be added to the detailed, thorough, and well-documented histories of Louisiana which have already been written in French and English. Therefore, our chief purpose here was not geographical or historical but psychological and literary. It has been to discover how the French people knew or thought of the distant Empire given them in the New World by a few hardy explorers. What was their reaction to this fabulous new province across the Atlantic? Now and then some even of the first of the missionaries or travelers in this strange land who recorded their experiences were found to be sensitive to the “picturesque” of the magnificient landscapes, the rivers, mountains, and boundless prairies -- although this sense of the “picturesque” as is well known, was not greatly developed in the seventeenth century, and the word itself had not yet been borrowed by the French from the Italians. These accounts of the first explorers show that they were inclined to consider the practical aspects of life. The things which interested them were the fruit and grain that the country produced, the animals (the delicacy of their flesh and the warmth of their furs), the gold and precious stones -- or even baser minerals -- that they hoped to find in Louisiana, their Eldorado.

description: Let (P,X) be Shimura data, M=M(P,X,K) the Shimura variety of level K. To an algebraic representation of P, one can associate a mixed sheaf (variation of Hodge structure, l-adic sheaf) on M. In the paper, we study the degeneration of such sheaves along strata in toroidal compactifications of M. The main result (2.8 in the Hodge setting, 3.9 in the l-adic setting) gives a formula for this degeneration in terms of Hochschild cohomology of certain unipotent subgroups of P. The new version differs from the earlier one in that the proof of 2.8 was rewritten. In particular, the effect of Saito's specialization functor along a stratum is identified on variations obtained via representations.

description: The Split-Family supersymmetry is a model in which the sfermion masses of the first two generations are in $\mathcal{O}(100\text{-}1000)$ GeV while that of the third one is in $\mathcal{O}(10)$TeV. With such a hierarchical spectrum, the deviation of the muon $g-2$ and the observed Higgs boson mass are explained simultaneously. In this paper, we revisit the Split-Family SUSY model in light of the updated LHC constraints. We also study the flavor changing neutral current problems in the model. As we will show, the problems do not lead to stringent constraints when the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is the only source of the flavor mixing. We also study how large flavor mixing in the supersymmetry breaking parameters is allowed.

description: We consider Hamiltonian systems which can be described both classically and quantum mechanically. Trace formulas establish links between the energy spectra of the quantum description and the spectrum of actions of periodic orbits in the classical description. This duality is investigated in the present paper. The duality holds for chaotic as well as for integrable systems. For billiards the quantal spectrum (eigenvalues of the Helmholtz equation) and the classical spectrum (lengths of periodic orbits) are two manifestations of the billiard's boundary. The trace formula expresses this link as a Fourier transform relation between the corresponding spectral densities. It follows that the two-point statistics are also simply related. The universal correlations of the quantal spectrum are well known, consequently one can deduce the classical universal correlations. An explicit expression for the scale of the classical correlations is derived and interpreted. This allows a further extension of the formalism to the case of complex billiard systems, and in particular to the most interesting case of diffusive system. The concept of classical correlations allows a better understanding of the so-called diagonal approximation and its breakdown. It also paves the way towards a semiclassical theory that is capable of global description of spectral statistics beyond the breaktime. An illustrative application is the derivation of the disorder-limited breaktime in case of a disordered chain, thus obtaining a semiclassical theory for localization. A numerical study of classical correlations in the case of the 3D Sinai billiard is presented. We gain a direct understanding of specific statistical properties of the classical spectrum, as well as their semiclassical manifestation in the quantal spectrum.

description: Analytic solutions of the Teukolsky equation in Kerr geometries are presented in the form of series of hypergeometric functions and Coulomb wave functions. Relations between these solutions are established. The solutions provide a very powerful method not only for examining the general properties of solutions and physical quantities when they are applied to, but also for numerical computations. The solutions are given in the expansion of a small parameter $ε\equiv 2Mω$, $M$ being the mass of black hole, which corresponds to Post-Minkowski expansion by $G$ and to post-Newtonian expansion when they are applied to the gravitational radiation from a particle in circular orbit around a black hole. It is expected that these solutions will become a powerful weapon to construct the theoretical template towards LIGO and VIRGO projects.

Environmental planning for ARD waste : land-dried biosolids and ARD waste rock experiment

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Different types of biosolids used as soil amendments have been demonstrated to result in rapid revegetation and environmentally friendly reclamation even in problematic sites such as metalcontaminated and/or acid generating spoils. This paper presents laboratory results of the effect of landdried biosolids on acid generating (AG) waste rock. The impact was determined through analysis of water percolated through soil columns. The experiment consisted of four columns that were subjected to weekly water additions over 8 to 10 hour cycles. Materials in the columns were layered in various combinations using land-dried biosolids, neutral waste rock, AG fines and AG waste rock. The leaching schedule was designed to simulate 17 weeks of non-winter field conditions. Percolate water quality was monitored weekly for: pH, conductivity, sulphate, acidity, alkalinity, dissolved metals and hardness. Waste rock and biosolids were characterized in terms of pH, particle size distribution, and nutrient and total metal concentrations. Acid- Base Accounting (ABA) was performed for both the neutral and AG waste rock and the AG fines. All four columns were saturated and reached the desired baseline condition for data comparison after two leaching cycles. There appeared to be a significant difference between the mass released from columns treated with land-dried biosolids when compared with the control column results. For example, when comparing Column 2 results with its control column results, the mass released from Column 2 between week 3 and week 17 was roughly 50% lower in: acidity at pH 4.5, acidity at pH 8.3, sulphate, aluminum, cobalt, manganese, and phosphorus; 60% lower in iron and arsenic; and 80% lower in zinc and cadmium. The mass collected from Column 2 was about 30% higher for calcium, 45% for hardness and 134% for magnesium in compared with control column results.

description: It has been argued by several authors, using different formalisms, that the quantum mechanical spectrum of black hole horizon area is discrete and uniformly spaced. Recently it was shown that two such approaches, namely the one involving quantisation on a reduced phase space, and the algebraic approach of Bekenstein and Gour are equivalent for spherically symmetric, neutral black holes (hep-th/0202076). The observables of one can be mapped to those of the other. Here we extend that analysis to include charged black holes. Once again, we find that the ground state of the black hole is a Planck size remnant.

description: This paper presents an analysis of my composition Love, Crystal and Stone, a forty-five minute song-cycle for soprano, violin, flute, clarinet and percussion, written in 2017 for TAK Ensemble of New York. Based on a selection of lyric poems by Federico García Lorca, Love, Crystal and Stone explores the core question, “How can the lyric poetry of Lorca be re-experienced by critically rethinking the poetic potentials of the formal construction of the music?” In my dissertation, I will discuss the various ways that my music, in its formal construction, attempts to incorporate Lorca’s text in order to capture and reiterate the essence of the text. In my essay, I will also explore the choices of material and my compositional processes, including a description of how I continuously rework and re-contextualize my musical material not only throughout the span of the piece, but through the arc of my catalogue of works. The theoretical analysis of the piece involves an in-depth explanation of the musical elements of Love, Crystal and Stone including form; pitch, timbral, and rhythmic structures; the incorporation of musical gestures; and orchestration choices. Finally, I will conclude with a brief discussion of my approach to the analysis of Love, Crystal and Stone.

description: We study mathematically the equilibrium properties of the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian in the limit of a vanishing hopping amplitude. This system conserves the energy and the number of particles. We establish the equivalence between the microcanonical and the grand-canonical ensembles for all allowed values of the density of particles $ρ$ and density of energy $\varepsilon$. Moreover, given $ρ$, we show that the system undergoes a transition as $\varepsilon$ increases, from a usual positive temperature state to the infinite temperature state where a macroscopic excess of energy condensates on a single site. Analogous results have been obtained by S. Chatterjee (2017) for a closely related model. We introduce here a different method to tackle this problem, hoping that it reflects more directly the basic understanding stemming from statistical mechanics. We discuss also how, and in which sense, the condensation of energy leads to a glassy dynamics.

description: Description of aural thesis project for the Master of Oral History Program at Columbia University. One of the generationally consistent challenges of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (GLBTQ) human beings is the appropriation of Love. In addition to the minimal presence of non-stereotypical inclusions within popular culture, this dilemma is further exacerbated by the hegemony of hetero-normative narratives regarding family and gender roles articulated by religious organizations, mass media outlets, and political as well as legal institutions. For individuals who develop and display the courage necessary to outwardly proclaim intimate attraction and desire for members of the same sex, ultimately a complicated journey begins. En route, the old glue of tradition quickly become a series of subconscious traps for which the reconciliation between, reformation of, and translation into the meaning, structure, and execution of one’s psychological framework or worldview for interpersonal Love must be freed.

description: We have developed a Watt-level random laser at 532 nm. The laser is based on a 1064 nm random distributed ytterbium-gain assisted fiber laser seed with a 0.35 nm line-width 900mW polarized output power. A study for the optimal length of the random distributed mirror was carried out. An ytterbium-doped fiber master oscillator power amplifier architecture is used to amplify the random seeder laser without additional spectral broadening up to 20 W. By using a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal in a single pass configuration we generate in excess of 1 W random laser at 532 nm by second harmonic generation with an efficiency of 9 %. The green random laser exhibits an instability <1 %, optical signal to noise ratio >70 dB, 0.1 nm linewidth and excellent beam quality.

description: Background: To evaluate a new strategy for identifying sepsis in Emergency Department (ED) patients that combines administrative diagnosis codes with clinical information from the point of first contact. Methods: This study linked clinical data from adult patients transported by a provincial Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system to ED and inpatient administrative databases. Sepsis cases were identified by searching ED databases for diagnosis codes consistent with infection and organ dysfunction. Organ dysfunction was further assessed using a partial Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score derived from EMS clinical information. Reliability was evaluated by comparing patients’ ED diagnosis codes (ICD-10CA) to their inpatient diagnosis codes; criterion validity by comparing cases classified by the new strategy to an existing inpatient administrative algorithm; and construct validity by assessing for clinical characteristics typically associated with sepsis (e.g., mortality). Results: A total of 43,297 patients were included. ED infection codes were more reliable for classifying patients with infection than using ED sepsis codes alone (proportion of agreement with inpatient codes 79% vs. 74%; p-value < 0.001). The novel strategy requiring the presence of an infection code and either an organ dysfunction code or 2 or more SOFA points from EMS clinical information identified 1,379 more ED patients as having sepsis than the inpatient algorithm. These patients had high mortality supporting construct validity. Conclusions: Incorporation of a broader range of diagnostic codes and linking to an electronic database to obtain initial clinical information for the assessment of organ dysfunction improves reliability, criterion, and construct validity for identifying sepsis in ED patients.

description: We can now manipulate the genetic material of living organism routinely and cheaply. This has inspired a burgeoning field of synthesis based on DNA as a building block. The development of this new synthetic field has mirrored the trajectory of synthetic organic chemistry from small molecular systems to complex macromolecular assemblies. At first, this field of synthetic biology delivered recombinant proteins that enhanced our understanding of the structure-function relationship of biological macromolecules. Now, as the synthetic tools and analysis methods have come of age, synthetic whole-cell and multicellular systems have come within reach. In Chapter 1 we review the significant advances in DNA synthesis and analysis that have brought us to this point.
      In this work, we first ask what practical applications will benefit most from the unique qualities of synthetic whole-cell system, such as their ability to replicate, sense and respond with molecular specificity. In Chapter 2, we implement a pathogen detection platform based solely on genetically modified yeast. This approach holds the potential to deliver ultra low-cost sensors that can be used and produced at the point-of-care. In Chapter 3, we develop methods to target these yeast-based sensors for the detection of any peptide biomarker of choice.
      We next look forward to the potential of synthetic multicellular systems. While natural multicellular systems can be directly manipulated, our ability to rationally build multicellular systems from the bottom-up is still in its infancy. There still remain gaps in the available tools to make and analyze such synthetic systems. In Chapter 4, we leverage the explosion of available genomic databases to uncover a highly extensible set of cell-cell signaling modules. In Chapter 5, we implement ratiometric fluorescent tags to track mixed cell populations in multiplex. Together these components will be useful in implementing and analyzing synthetic communication networks that will be key components of advanced synthetic multicellular systems.

description: A new algorithm for computing the accurate values of quasinormal frequencies of extremal Reissner-Nordström black holes is presented. The numerically computed values are consistent with the values earlier obtained by Leaver and those obtained through the WKB method. Our results are more precise than other results known to date. We also find a curious fact that the resonant frequencies of gravitational waves with multi-pole index $l$ coincide with those of electromagnetic waves with multi-pole index $l-1$ in the extremal limit.

description: Millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology is one of the most promising candidates for future wireless communication systems as it can offer large underutilized bandwidths and eases the implementation of large antenna arrays which are required to help overcome the severe signal attenuation that occurs at these frequencies. To reduce the high cost and power consumption of a fully digital mmWave precoder and combiner, hybrid analog/digital designs based on analog phase shifters are often adopted. In this work we derive an iterative algorithm for the hybrid precoding and combining design for spatial multiplexing in mmWave massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. To cope with the difficulty of handling the hardware constraint imposed by the analog phase shifters we use the alternating direction method of the multipliers (ADMM) to split the hybrid design problem into a sequence of smaller subproblems. This results in an iterative algorithm where the design of the analog precoder/combiner consists of a closed form solution followed by a simple projection over the set of matrices with equal magnitude elements. It is initially developed for the fully-connected structure and then extended to the partially-connected architecture which allows simpler hardware implementation. Furthermore, to cope with the more likely wideband scenarios where the channel is frequency selective, we also extend the algorithm to an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based mmWave system. Simulation results in different scenarios show that the proposed design algorithms are capable of achieving performances close to the optimal fully digital solution and can work with a broad range of configuration of antennas, RF chains and data streams.

description: 5-dimensional homogeneous and isotropic models with a bulk cosmological constant and a minimally coupled scalar field are considered. We have found that in special cases the scalar field can mimic a frustrated (i.e. disordered) networks of topological defects: cosmic strings, domain walls and hyperdomain walls. This equivalence enabled us to obtain 5-dimensional instantonic solutions which can be used to construct brane-world models. In some cases, their analytic continuation to a Lorentzian metric signature give rise to either 4-dimensional flat or inflating branes. Models with arbitrary dimensions (D $>$ 5) are also briefly discussed.

description: We investigate the dynamics of a spherically symmetric vaccum on a Randall and Sundrum 3-brane world. Under certain natural conditions, the effective Einstein equations on the brane form a closed system for spherically symmetric dark radiation. We determine exact dynamical and inhomogeneous solutions, which are shown to depend on the brane cosmological constant, on the dark radiation tidal charge and on its initial energy configuration. We identify the conditions defining these solutions as singular or as globally regular. Finally, we discuss the confinement of gravity to the vicinity of the brane and show that a phase transition to a regime where gravity is not bound to the brane may occur at short distances during the collapse of positive dark energy density on a realistic de Sitter brane.
