A Inquisição e a Mitra de Lisboa: análise a partir do governo do arcebispo D. Miguel de Castro (1586-1625)
Creators: name: Giebels, Daniel Norte
Publisher: name: Lusitania Sacra
Year: 2011

description: Os bispos portugueses encontram-se estreitamente ligados ao processo de fundação e estabelecimento da Inquisição, sucedendo-se, na perspectiva de alguns estudos, uma evidente cooperação e até mesmo complementariedade entre a actuação dos tribunais inquisitorial e eclesiástico. Outros autores contrapõem com a ideia de que a relação entre estes dois poderes evoluiu e também foi marcada pelo conflito. Esta será uma questão subjacente ao trabalho que aqui se propõe, centrando-se na relação entre a Inquisição e D. Miguel de Castro, arcebispo de Lisboa (1586-1625). Foram definidos quatro tempos dessa mesma relação, sendo identificados e justificados por uma análise conjuntural atenta às relações políticas entre os agentes do campo religioso e o percurso de D. Miguel de Castro.

description: The Lyot project used an optimized Lyot coronagraph with Extreme Adaptive Optics at the 3.63m Advanced Electro-Optical System telescope (AEOS) to observe 86 stars from 2004 to 2007. In this paper we give an overview of the survey results and a statistical analysis of the observed nondetections around 58 of our targets to place constraints on the population of substellar companions to nearby stars. The observations did not detect any companion in the substellar regime. Since null results can be as important as detections, we analyzed each observation to determine the characteristics of the companions that can be ruled out. For this purpose we use a Monte Carlo approach to produce artificial companions, and determine their detectability by comparison with the sensitivity curve for each star. All the non-detection results are combined using a Bayesian approach and we provide upper limits on the population of giant exoplanets and brown dwarfs for this sample of stars. Our nondetections confirm the rarity of brown dwarfs around solar-like stars and we constrain the frequency of massive substellar companions (M>40Mjup) at orbital separation between and 10 and 50 AU to be <20%.

A comparison of iPad-based and traditional instructional materials for teaching academic skills to children with autism spectrum disorder
Creators: name: Voroshina, Alexandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: In recent years, research has emerged on the application of the iPad for teaching academic, communication, vocational, and leisure skills to children with special needs such as ASD (Kagohara et al., 2013). However, only 10 iPad studies to date have sought to teach basic academic skills (e.g., simple reading, math, or printing skills) to students with special educational needs, and only five of these compared iPad-based instruction to the traditional materials. This study aimed to expand the research on the application of the iPad for teaching academic skills by comparing the impact of the mode of instructional delivery (i.e., iPad vs. traditional materials) on the number of sessions required to meet mastery criterion, task engagement, and frequency of problem behaviour. The study employed an adapted alternating treatments design with two young children with autism spectrum disorder. Two tasks were identified for both participants: addition with pictures and word families, with equivalent task sets designed for each condition. All sessions were conducted in participants’ homes and lasted 20 to 40 minutes. The results for the number of trials to criterion provide evidence of a functional relation in favour of the TM condition for the word families task but not for the addition task. This is contrary to the hypothesis that a functional relation would be evident for both tasks in favour of the iPad condition. Results for engagement were mixed, with lower engagement in the iPad condition for one participant, and no meaningful difference for the other. No problem behaviour was observed during the study. Implications of the study are discussed as they apply to students with autism spectrum disorder in particular, along with suggestions for future research.
O demónio em carne viva: a pele e a anatomia simbólica da possessão
Creators: name: Ribeiro, António Vítor
Publisher: name: Lusitania Sacra
Year: 2011

description: Este estudo incide sobre a função simbólica desempenhada pela pele no fenómeno da possessão em Portugal durante a É poca Moderna. Partiu-se de uma análise iconográfica e hagiográfica da figura de S. Bartolomeu, intimamente ligada à possessão, através de uma arqueologia dos motivos pictóricos e mitológicos aí presentes. Tal permitiu recuar até à dualidade entre Apolo e Dioniso, representada através do mito do esfolamento do sátiro Mársias. Ao determinar uma equiparação simbólica pele-alma no contexto da Antiguidade, principiou-se uma análise comparativa entre os comportamentos dos possuídos no Portugal da Época Moderna e o que se verificava naquele período, particularmente no culto dionisíaco. Paralelamente verificou-se que essa função simbólica da pele está presente no platonismo e que foi representada, ao longo dos séculos, de várias formas e em vários níveis culturais, desde o folclore e cultura popular, até à representação de S. Bartolomeu no tecto da Capela Sistina.

description: The nonlinear evolution of an ion ring instability in a low-beta magnetospheric plasma is considered. The evolution of the two-dimensional ring distribution is essentially quasilinear. Ignoring nonlinear processes the time-scale for the quasilinear evolution is the same as for the linear instability 1/t_ql gamma_l. However, when nonlinear processes become important, a new time scale becomes relevant to the wave saturation mechanism. Induced nonlinear scattering of the lower-hybrid waves by plasma electrons is the dominant nonlinearity relevant for plasmas in the inner magnetosphere and typically occurs on the timescale 1/t_ql w(M/m)W/nT, where W is the wave energy density, nT is the thermal energy density of the background plasma, and M/m is the ion to electron mass ratio, which has the consequence that the wave amplitude saturates at a low level, and the timescale for quasilinear relaxation is extended by orders of magnitude.

Transforming Indigenous Vice to Virtue on the Stages of Colonial Brazil: an analysis of Jesuit Theater and the plays of José de Anchieta
Creators: name: McGinness, Anne B.
Publisher: name: Lusitania Sacra
Year: 2011

description: José de Anchieta (1534-1597), one of the most influential missionaries in the history of Catholic expansion into South America, addressed the theological and cultural issues of explaining Christian life to the Tupi. Through his dramatic works, Anchieta sought to reform the Tupi warrior and reorient Tupi vice to virtue. Seeking to win the moral fidelity of the Tupi, on stage he compromised on various aspects of Catholicism in order to transform the Tupi warrior into a warrior of Christ. Scholars debate whether Jesuit theater in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was used for catechetical purposes or if its primary objective was to promote Christian culture, life and morality. Yet, the Jesuit project did not consist of separating doctrine and way of life. As the works and compromises of Anchieta show, preaching doctrine, teaching Christian culture and maintaining an alliance with the crown were all possible.

description: We study clustering of inertial particles in turbulent flows and discuss its applications to dust particles in protoplanetary disks. Using numerical simulations, we compute the radial distribution function (RDF), which measures the probability of finding particle pairs at given distances, and the probability density function of the particle concentration. The clustering statistics depend on the Stokes number, $St$, defined as the ratio of the particle friction timescale, $τ_{\rm p} $, to the Kolmogorov timescale in the flow. In the dissipation range, the clustering intensity strongly peaks at $St \simeq 1$, and the RDF for $St \sim 1$ shows a fast power-law increase toward small scales, suggesting that turbulent clustering may considerably enhance the particle collision rate. Clustering at inertial-range scales is of particular interest to the problem of planetesimal formation. At these scales, the strongest clustering is from particles with $τ_{\rm p}$ in the inertial range. Clustering of these particles occurs primarily around a scale where the eddy turnover time is $\simτ_{\rm p}$. Particles of different sizes tend to cluster at different locations, leading to flat RDFs between different particles at small scales. In the presence of multiple particle sizes, the overall clustering strength decreases as the particle size distribution broadens. We discuss particle clustering in recent models for planetesimal formation. We point out that, in the model based on turbulent clustering of chondrule-size particles, the probability of finding strong clusters that can seed planetesimals may have been significantly overestimated. We discuss various clustering mechanisms in simulations of planetesimal formation by gravitational collapse of dense clumps of meter-size particles, in particular the contribution from turbulent clustering due to the limited numerical resolution.

description: Die Entwicklungen in der Soziologie der Bundesrepublik nach dem Ende des Dritten Reiches werden dargestellt und kritisch beurteilt. Dabei stehen die Vorgänge um die Gründung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Soziologie und um die Einflüsse der durch ihre Mitarbeit im Faschismus vorbelasteten Fachvertreter im Blickpunkt. Es wird nachgewiesen, daß in den 50er Jahren eine Soziologieprofession restauriert wurde, in der es nur wenige fortschrittliche, dafür aber zahlreiche konservative bis faschistische Traditionen gab. Diese Restauration vollzog sich unter Aufsicht und Anleitung der amerikanischen Besatzungsmacht und ermöglichte den zuvor totalitär eingebundenen Soziologen eine neue Herrschafts- und Machtposition an den Hochschulen. Im Kontext des Antikommunismus konnten diese dann den Kalten Krieg und den innenpolitischen Rechtsdruck nutzen, um den liberalen Kräften in der Soziologie, die sich um R. König und H. Plessner scharten, den "Bürgerkrieg" zu erklären.
Exploring machine learning design options in discourse parsing
Creators: name: Liao, Weicong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Discourse parsing recently attracts increasing interest among researchers since it is very helpful for text understanding, sentiment analysis and other NLP tasks. In a well-written text, authors often use discourse to better organize the text, and sentences (or clauses) tend to interact with neighboring sentences (or clauses). Each piece of text locally exhibits a finer discourse structure called rhetorical structure. And a document can be organized to a discourse tree (this process is called discourse parsing), which seeks to capture the discourse structure and logically binds the sentences (or clauses) together. However, despite the fact that discourse parsing is very useful, although intra-sentential level discourse parsing already achieves high performance, multi-sentential level discourse parsing remains a big challenge in terms of both accuracy and efficiency. In addition, machine learning techniques are proved to be successful in many NLP tasks including discourse parsing. Thus, in this thesis, we try to enhance the performance (e.g., accuracy, efficiency) of discourse parsing by using machine learning techniques. To this aim, we propose a novel two-step discourse parsing system, which first builds a discourse tree for a given text by applying optimal probabilistic parsing to probabilities inferred from learned conditional random fields (CRFs), then uses learned log-linear models to tag all discourse relations to the nodes in the discourse tree. We analyze different aspects of the problem (e.g., sequential v.s. non-sequential model, greedy v.s. optimal parsing, joint v.s. separate model) and discuss their trade-offs. We also carried out extensive experiments to study the usefulness of different feature families and over-fitting. Consequently, we find out that the most effective feature sets for different tasks are different: part-of-speech (POS) and context features are the most effective for intra and multi-sentential structure prediction respectively, while ngram features are the most effective for both intra and multi-sentential relation labeling. Moreover, over-fitting does occur in our experiments, so we need proper regularization. Final result shows that our system achieves state-of-the-art F-scores of 86.2, 72.2 and 59.2 in structure, nuclearity and relation. And it is more efficient than Joty's (training: 40 times faster; test: 3 times faster).
A fundação da Inquisição em Portugal: um novo olhar

description: O artigo procura apresentar novos dados sobre o contexto da fundação do Tribunal do Santo Ofício em Portugal (1536). A historiografia continua a ser influenciada pela reconstrução dos acontecimentos fornecida na segunda metade do século XIX, por Alexandre Herculano: uma dramática luta internacional entre um rei fanático, D. João III, o mundo corrupto da cúria papal e a capacidade diplomática dos agentes dos cristãos-novos em Roma. Sem pretensão de oferecer uma nova interpretação global do complexo episódio da introdução da Inquisição em Portugal, a adopção de uma perspectiva mais alargada aqui proposta permite colher aspectos decisivos que passaram despercebidos, desde a pressão da Inquisição espanhola sobre a coroa portuguesa para perseguir os cristãos-novos, até ao papel central do novo grupo de conselheiros em matéria de fé, que integraram a corte de D. João III entre o fim dos anos 20 e o início dos 30.

La problématique de l’éclairage et de la modulation dans “Le Poème pulvérisé” de René Char

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: L'après-guerre est un temps de rupture pour René Char. L’engagement résistant terminé, la fin de la guerre lui apporte un sentiment de solitude qui donne à sa poésie un chemin différent. Avec "Le Poème pulvérisé" la poésie devient une lutte contre l'inéluctable avancée du temps. Contre cette linéarité du temps le poète retrouve des instants exceptionnels qui sortent l'homme de sa chute continuelle vers la mort. La langue se morcelle en mots qui sont là-devant et dans ce morcèlement qui module, le poète retrouve des moments éclairants qui offrent une modalité d'existence authentique. Ce mémoire se propose d'analyser comment la familiarité quotidienne qui tombe en miettes relève la présence fulgurante d'un état ekstatique. Transformation et échange entre différents éléments, la modulation ne suppose pas la conversion d'un élément en son contraire, mais l'actualisation d'un troisième élément authentique qui devient leur fondement. Nous analysons la modulation à tous les niveaux de la poésie : stylistique, narratif, symbolique et ontologique pour dégager les instances d'une langue fragmentée où l'instant ne se situe pas dans la succession chronologique du temps, il est l'exception, il est le temps de l'éclairage.
Novel modes of communication between neuronal activity and microglial process dynamics
Creators: name: Dissing-Olesen, Lasse
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Microglia are morphologically dynamic cells that survey neuronal dendrites and rapidly respond to ATP. However, the role of ATP in mediating neuron-microglia communication remains to be determined. We therefore investigated the question whether high neuronal activity would evoke ATP release and thereby trigger a change in microglial process dynamics. To address this we used acute hippocampal brain slices and two-photon laser scanning microscopy and we developed a novel method for fixation and immunolabeling of microglia processes. We discovered that multiple brief applications of NMDA triggered a transient outgrowth of microglia processes similar to application of ATP. The outgrowth was reversible and repeatable, indicating that it was not due to excitotoxic damage. ATP release, secondary to NMDAR activation, was the key mediator as blocking purinergic receptors abolished outgrowth. Hemichannel opening is a well-defined mechanism for ATP release, but outgrowth still occurred in the absence of the hemichannel protein pannexin 1 and in the presence of the hemichannel blocker carbenoxolone. Utilizing whole cell patch clamping we demonstrated that activation of dendritic NMDAR on single neurons was sufficient to trigger microglia process outgrowth. These results suggest that dendritic neuronal NMDAR activation triggers ATP release via a hemichannel-independent mechanism. It is well established that high neuronal activity leads to a reduction in extracellular Ca²+ which causes opening of astrocytic Cx43 hemichannels and subsequent ATP release. We therefore investigated whether hemichannel opening could trigger a change in microglial process dynamics. Indeed, removal of extracellular Ca²+ triggered a microglial response, which we refer to as microglial process focalization because it was distinctively different from the NMDA-evoked process outgrowth. This focalization was also mediated by ATP as it was blocked by selective blockade of microglial purinergic receptors and we observed a strong inverse relationship between the concentration of extracellular Ca²+ and microglial responses. Carbenoxolone, which did not block NMDA-evoked process outgrowth, resulted in a dose-dependent block of microglial process focalization which is consistent with the mechanism of ATP release being opening of Cx43 hemichannels. Taken together, our data provide novel insight into how high neuronal activity triggers release of ATP as a mechanism for enhancing neuron-microglia communication.

Mechanisms of white matter in multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica
Creators: name: Manogaran, Praveena
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and multiple sclerosis (MS) both result in acute injury (i.e. attacks or relapses) to the central nervous system with focal demyelination and axonal loss that varies in severity along a spectrum. A variety of non-invasive structural imaging and functional tools can be used to investigate mechanisms of white matter injury and secondary axonal injury in MS and NMO. These include advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of myelin water fraction; optical coherence tomography (OCT) for retinal nerve fibre layer thickness and total macular volume; and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to determine cortical excitability and integrity of cortical spinal pathways. First, the relationship between a functional measure using TMS and a structural measure of myelin in the cortico-spinal tract was examined. Structural changes were found in the descending motor output pathway white matter in NMO along with abnormal TMS measures, suggesting that there is greater spinal cord involvement and more extensive axonal loss found in NMO compared to MS. Next, OCT was used as a measure of the anterior visual pathway and myelin water imaging of the posterior visual pathway; the effects of damage to one part of the visual system on the other was studied. Retrograde degeneration to the retina and anterograde degeneration to the optic radiations from the optic nerve was observed in both MS and NMO subjects with optic neuritis history. A correlation between the measures indicating that damage to one part may cause damage to another part of the visual pathway. Finally, damage was observed in optic pathway in MS patients without optic neuritis history suggesting that there is damage in the absence of lesions in the optic nerve. Finally, myelin water imaging was used to investigate if the disease burden of lesions regulate the level of damage to the normal appearing white matter (NAWM) tracts. The lack of correlation between disease burden of lesions and NAWM myelin water imaging in MS suggested that damage to the NAWM was mediated by processes independent of lesions. These techniques can be used to study and better understand demyelinating diseases such as MS and NMO.

description: The expression of survival factors for radiation damaged cells is based on probabilistic assumptions and experimentally fitted for each tumor, radiation and conditions. Here we show how the simplest of these radiobiological models can be derived from the maximum entropy principle of the classical Boltzmann-Gibbs expression. We extend this derivation using the Tsallis entropy and a cutoff hypothesis, motivated by clinical observations. A generalization of the exponential, the logarithm and the product to a non-extensive framework, provides a simple formula for the survival fraction corresponding to the application of several radiation doses on a living tissue. The obtained expression shows a remarkable agreement with the experimental data found in the literature, also providing a new interpretation of some of the parameters introduced anew. It is also shown how the presented formalism may has direct application in radiotherapy treatment optimization through the definition of the potential effect difference, simply calculated between the tumour and the surrounding tissue.

description: We propose a simple schematic model for two-neutron halo nuclei. In this model, the two valence neutrons move in a one-dimensional mean field, interacting with each other via a density-dependent contact interaction. We first investigate the ground state properties, and demonstrate that the dineutron correlation can be realized with this simple model due to the admixture of even- and odd-parity single-particle states. We then solve the time-dependent two-particle Schrödinger equation under the influence of a time-dependent one-body external field, in order to discuss the effect of dineutron correlation on nuclear breakup processes. The time evolution of two-particle density shows that the dineutron correlation enhances the total breakup probability, especially for the two-neutron breakup process, in which both the valence neutrons are promoted to continuum scattering states. We find that the interaction between the two particles definitely favours a spatial correlation of the two outgoing particles, which are mainly emitted in the same direction.

description: In this paper, we propose a new identifiability condition by using the logarithmic calibration for the multiplicative distortion partial linear measurement errors models, when neither the response variable nor the covariates in the parametric part can be directly observed. We propose a logarithmic calibration estimation procedure for the unobserved variables. Then, a profile least squares estimator is proposed, associated with its asymptotic results and confidence intervals construction. For the hypothesis testing of parameter, a restricted estimator under the null hypothesis and a test statistic are proposed. The asymptotic properties for the estimator and test statistic are also established. We employ the smoothly clipped absolute deviation penalty to select relevant variables. Simulation studies demonstrate the performance of the proposed procedure and a real example is analysed to illustrate its practical usage.

Emily Dickinson, material rhetoric, and the ethos of nineteenth-century American women's poetry
Creators: name: Scholes, Judith Jeannine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: “Emily Dickinson, Material Rhetoric, and the Ethos of Nineteenth-Century American Women’s Poetry” examines the ethos of women’s poetry as it was negotiated through the material rhetoric of mid-nineteenth-century American periodicals, and Emily Dickinson’s strategic alignment with that ethos to paradoxically distance herself from the literary market. As I argue, Dickinson negotiated an enduring marginality that would forestall her entry into public modes of poetic address while she lived, in order to preserve a poetic address that could foster interpersonal affectivity. Establishing the methodological framework for my study, the introduction demonstrates how material rhetoric contributes to the ethos of poetry by defining ethos as emerging from a poetry’s delivery and reception in material contexts of address. Chapter 1 maps the ethos of women’s poetry as it develops in the U.S. between 1830 and 1864, and especially the crucial ground that Civil War newspapers provided for the negotiation of a gendered authorial ethos for women’s poetry. Chapter 2 demonstrates how Dickinson’s poetry was implicated in such negotiations, as her poems were published in her daily newspaper, the Springfield Republican, under literary editor Fidelia Hayward Cooke during the early 1860s. Arguing that this implication transformed her poetic address and prompted decisive action on her part to limit further publication, I then investigate the ethos Dickinson herself negotiated with poetry she addressed to correspondents. Chapter 3 reads Dickinson’s negotiation of an amateur ethos with her correspondent Thomas Wentworth Higginson as a deliberate move to indefinitely defer her entry into the literary market. Chapter 4 maps Dickinson’s practice of sending poetry as, in, or with letters to correspondents, to demonstrate her investment in mobilizing interpersonal affectivity through personal, specific—not public, unspecific—poetic address. This dissertation makes substantial contribution to the field in three ways: it redresses the critical omission of materiality in the study of the rhetoric of nineteenth century American women’s poetry; it extends feminist historiography of women’s rhetoric to include the materiality of poetic address; and it extends the study of Dickinson in context, by situating her among her peers, deeply and inextricably in the material context of mid-nineteenth-century periodical culture.

Negotiating vernacular community : the photographic archive of Métis activist James P. Brady
Creators: name: Dickson, Laura
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Alberta houses an archive containing over one thousand photographs and over four thousand paper documents from the estate of Métis activist James Patrick Brady. The photographs remain separate from the rest of the documents in the Brady fonds, and are thus prevented from participating in the same kind of work that the thousands of other documents are thought to do. This thesis examines a series of photographs Brady took between 1949 and 1951 of individuals living and working in Cumberland House, Saskatchewan as a case study for considering the potential for vernacular photography to negotiate a type of unofficial citizenship to community on the social and political periphery. In The Inoperative Community, theorist Jean-Luc Nancy points to an inherent contradiction in the prevailing definition of communities as enclosed entities to the exclusion of what is outside; he argues there always remain social and political interactions at the limits of communities. Métis communities have historically been denied inclusion in official political and constitutional legislation by way of their exclusion from officially recognized First Nations and non-Aboriginal groups. But here is where Nancy notes a contradiction: is not an official un- recognition in effect an unofficial recognition? I suggest that the portraits at Cumberland House thus represent and negotiate this unofficial recognition, and constitute an unofficial or vernacular community. Art historian Geoffrey Batchen argues in Each Wild Idea that a vernacular photograph’s “idiosyncratic morphologies refuse to comply with the coherent progression of styles and technical innovations demanded by masters and transcendent aesthetic achievements, and disrupt its smooth Euro-American prejudice.” It is this disruption that Batchen identifies in the nature of vernacular photographs that coincides with the disruption of the “smooth Euro-American” prescription and negation of the identities and rights of Aboriginal and specifically Métis communities that is reflected, negotiated and enacted in and by Brady’s photographs.

description: We observed the accreting white dwarf 1E1339.8+2837 (1E1339) in the globular cluster M3 in Nov. 2003, May 2004 and Jan. 2005, using the Chandra ACIS-S detector. The source was observed in 1992 to possess traits of a supersoft X-ray source (SSS), with a 0.1-2.4 keV luminosity as large as 2x10^{35} erg/s, after which time the source's luminosity fell by roughly two orders of magnitude, adopting a hard X-ray spectrum more typical of CVs. Our observations confirm 1E1339's hard CV-like spectrum, with photon index Gamma=1.3+-0.2. We found 1E1339 to be highly variable, with a 0.5-10 keV luminosity ranging from 1.4+-0.3x10^{34} erg/s to 8.5+4.9-4.6x10^{32} erg/s, with 1E1339's maximum luminosity being perhaps the highest yet recorded for hard X-ray emission onto a white dwarf. In Jan. 2005, 1E1339 displayed substantial low-energy emission below 0.3 keV. Although current Chandra responses cannot properly model this emission, its bolometric luminosity appears comparable to or greater than that of the hard spectral component. This raises the possibility that the supersoft X-ray emission seen from 1E1339 in 1992 may have shifted to the far-UV.

description: We measure the Casimir force between a gold sphere and a silicon plate with nanoscale, rectangular corrugations with depth comparable to the separation between the surfaces. In the proximity force approximation (PFA), both the top and bottom surfaces of the corrugations contribute to the force, leading to a distance dependence that is distinct from a flat surface. The measured Casimir force is found to deviate from the PFA by up to 15%, in good agreement with calculations based on scattering theory that includes both geometry effects and the optical properties of the material.

Spontaneous Transition of Turbulent Flames to Detonations in Unconfined Media

description: Deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) can occur in environments ranging from experimental and industrial systems to astrophysical thermonuclear (type Ia) supernovae explosions. Substantial progress has been made in explaining the nature of DDT in confined systems with walls, internal obstacles, or pre-existing shocks. It remains unclear, however, whether DDT can occur in unconfined media. Here we use direct numerical simulations (DNS) to show that for high enough turbulent intensities unconfined, subsonic, premixed, turbulent flames are inherently unstable to DDT. The associated mechanism, based on the nonsteady evolution of flames faster than the Chapman-Jouguet deflagrations, is qualitatively different from the traditionally suggested spontaneous reaction wave model, and thus does not require the formation of distributed flames. Critical turbulent flame speeds, predicted by this mechanism for the onset of DDT, are in agreement with DNS results.

description: We report X-band EPR and $^{125}$Te and $^{77}$Se NMR measurements on single-crystalline superconducting FeSe$_{0.42}$Te$_{0.58}$ ($T_c$ = 11.5(1) K). The data provide evidence for the coexistence of intrinsic localized and itinerant electronic states. In the normal state, localized moments couple to itinerant electrons in the Fe(Se,Te) layers and affect the local spin susceptibility and spin fluctuations. Below $T_c$, spin fluctuations become rapidly suppressed and an unconventional superconducting state emerges in which $1/T_1$ is reduced at a much faster rate than expected for conventional $s$- or $s_\pm$-wave symmetry. We suggest that the localized states arise from the strong electronic correlations within one of the Fe-derived bands. The multiband electronic structure together with the electronic correlations thus determine the normal and superconducting states of the FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_x$ family, which appears much closer to other high-$T_c$ superconductors than previously anticipated.

The evolution from Rydberg gas to plasma in an atomic beam of Xe : with comparative simulations to a strongly blockaded Rydberg gas of Rb
Creators: name: Hung, Jachin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: We study a supersonic beam of cold, dense, xenon Rydberg atoms as it evolves to an ultracold plasma. At early times, while the free electron density is low, d-series Rydbergs atoms undergo long-range ℓ-mixing collisions producing states of high orbital angular momentum. These high-ℓ states drive dipole-dipole interactions where Penning ionization provides a seed of electrons in a cloud of Rydberg atoms excited into the 51d state. The electron density increases and reaches the threshold for avalanche into plasma at 25 μs. After 90 μs the plasma becomes fully formed developing rigidity to a 432 V/cm ionizing field as well as sensitivity to a weak 500 mV/cm field. A shell model was developed to understand the dynamics behind this process. In addition, in collaboration with the Weidemüller group, a model was developed using Penning ionization to seed the spontaneous avalanche of a cloud of strongly blockaded Rydberg atoms in a MOT.

Cosmological and Solar-System Tests of f(R) Modified Gravity

description: We investigate the cosmological and the local tests of the f(R) theory of modified gravity via the observations of (1) the cosmic expansion and (2) the cosmic structures and via (3) the solar-system experiments. To fit the possible cosmic expansion histories under consideration, for each of them we reconstruct f(R), known as "designer f(R)". We then test the designer f(R) via the cosmic-structure constraints on the metric perturbation ratio Psi/Phi and the effective gravitational coupling G_eff and via the solar-system constraints on the Brans-Dicke theory with the chameleon mechanism. We find that among the designer f(R) models specified by the CPL effective equation of state w_eff, only the model closely mimicking general relativity with a cosmological constant (LambdaCDM) can survive all the tests. Accordingly, these tests rule out the frequently studied "w_eff = -1" designer f(R) models which are distinct in cosmic structures from LambdaCDM. When considering only the cosmological tests, we find that the surviving designer f(R) models, although exist for a variety of w_eff, entail fine-tuning.

The art of being dominated : strategies for interacting with the state in Ming-dynasty Liaodong, 1449-1618
Creators: name: Ma, Zoudan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Focusing on Liaodong, a military region in Ming-dynasty China (1368-1644), this thesis examines some of the strategies the local population deployed to manage the imposition of the state. The argument is that, whether in dealing with tax obligations, labour services, or conflict resolutions, the military households in Liaodong were able to employ a wide range of strategies to “work the system to their minimum disadvantage”. The strategies examined not only demonstrate the ability of the Ming population to thrive under the domination of the Ming state but also indicate the vitality and resourcefulness of the Liaodong society. This thesis thus complements existing scholarship on other parts of China and adds to our understanding of state-society relations in the Ming dynasty.
