description: В данной статье представляются результаты численного моделирования гидрографов речного стока и многолетней динамики стока в бассейне реки Лены с использованием данных реанализа MERRA за период 1985-2005 гг. На основе новой версии климатической линейной гидрологической модели для расчета гидрографа стока в замыкающем створе Кюсюр реки Лены трансформация поверхностного и подземного стоков для каждой расчетной ячейки водосбора с учетом времени добегания воды по ячейке выполняется по линейной двухпараметрической модели Калинина-Милюкова, а для расчета трансформации стока в речной сети используется линейная модель формирования водного баланса в русловой сети. Проведено построение новой схематизированной модельной гидрографической сети бассейна реки Лены на основе гидрологически-корректной цифровой модели рельефа разрешением (1/3)° х (1/3)°, полученной по данным SRTM30 и GTOPO30. Данные о расходе воды из архива R-ArcticNET позволили промоделировать естественный и зарегулированный режимы речного стока реки Вилюй. Результаты моделирования показали сезонное регулирование Вилюйским водохранилищем нижнего течения рек Вилюя и Лены. Модельная межгодовая изменчивость стока содержит небольшой линейный тренд в замыкающем створе Кюсюр, что может говорить об отклике речного стока на климатические изменения в период 1985-2005 гг., но по сравнению с трендом, полученным по данным измерений, он достаточно мал. Оценки результатов моделирования месячного стока, полученные по двум статистическим критериям соответствия рассчитанных и измеренных значений стока, оказались близкими по эффективности расчетов с оценками результатов, полученных по гидрологической модели VIC и по модели теплои влагообмена подстилающей поверхности суши с атмосферой SWAP.

description: Nowadays, user authentication is one of the important topics in information security. Strong textbased password schemes could provide with certain degree of security. However, the fact that strong passwords are difficult to memorize often leads their owners to write them down on papers or even save them in a computer file. Graphical authentication has been proposed as a possible alternative solution to textbased authentication, motivated particularly by the fact that humans can remember images better than text. In recent years, many networks, computer systems and Internet based environments try used graphical authentication technique for their users authentication. All of graphical passwords have two different aspects which are usability and security. Unfortunately none of these algorithms were being able to cover both of these aspects at the same time. In this paper, we described eight recognition based authentication algorithms in terms of their drawbacks and attacks. In the next section, the usability standards from ISO and the related attributes for graphical user authentication usability are discussed. The related attack patterns for graphical user authentication security part are also discussed. Finally, a comparison table of all recognition based algorithms is presented based on ISO and attack patterns standards.

description: The cultural policy orientation of European countries has usually been interpreted in the light of political ideological factors or the model of the welfare state. However, while these dimensions explain part of cultural policy’s evolution in the second half of the 20th century, they overlook the influence of earlier factors affecting the state’s trajectory (especially absolutism) and the persistent influence of religious denomination on culture. To grasp the relationship between the state and culture, one needs to realise that Protestantism wields a significant influence in some countries (especially in variants such as Non-Conformism). These factors can be identified in the Eurostat surveys and statistics, providing that one adopts Braudel’s longue durée [long-term] perspective and the comparative historical institutionalism proposed by Tilly. This perspective lets us see continuities and interpret them in a multidimensional way and to suggest a different classification of the cultural regimes found among European countries.

description: ACC proposes to establish an Office of Student Money Management (ACC-OSMM) – the office’s mission would be to give a stronger foundation to students’ academic and career goals and successes by helping them take charge of their financial futures.Two of the inaugural activities of ACC-OSMM will be: to establish a system of sending text message reminders regarding annual Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) renewal to first-year college students who are already receiving financial aid, and to enhance the main tool (Degree Map Online) that ACC counselors use to advise students to include ‘real time’ personalized financial aid information. This will improve integration of financial aid and loan awareness into student conversations with academic advisors and counselors. ACC hopes to demonstrate that the activities of ACC-OSMM would be linked to improvements in measures of student success such as: graduation rate, time to completion, retention/persistence, and cohort loan default rate (CDR). ACC will partner with the Ray Marshall Center (RMC) to perform an evaluation, both formative and summative, on the effectiveness of these efforts on the student outcome measures of interest. Both types of evaluations provide actionable information about the success of the intervention while each successive cohort of recipients is in the process of receiving services, allowing for relatively rapid reflection and program modification as needed by ACC staff. Both evaluations are intended to measure the implementation, aggregate outcomes, and the impact of these efforts on Full Time First Time in College (FTFIC) loan or Pell grant receiving students’ graduation rates, 3-year Cohort Default Rates (CDR), retention rates, and fall to fall persistence for those who are Pell eligible. A host of intermediate steps related to these outcomes will also be measured.

description: Computer simulations recently revealed that several liquids exhibit strong correlations between virial and potential energy equilibrium fluctuations in the NVT ensemble [U. R. Pedersen {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 100}, 015701 (2008)]. In order to investigate whether these correlations are present also far from equilibrium constant-volume aging following a temperature down jump from equilibrium was simulated for two strongly correlating liquids, an asymmetric dumbbell model and Lewis-Wahnstr{ö}m OTP, as well as for SPC water that is not strongly correlating. For the two strongly correlating liquids virial and potential energy follow each other closely during the aging towards equilibrium. For SPC water, on the other hand, virial and potential energy vary with little correlation as the system ages towards equilibrium. Further proof that strong pressure-energy correlations express a configuration space property comes from monitoring pressure and energy during the crystallization (reported here for the first time) of supercooled Lewis-Wahnstr{ö}m OTP at constant temperature.

description: One previously undescribed tricyclo-diterpenoid saponin (1), one undescribed dammarane triterpenoid saponin (2) and four known triterpenoids (3–6) were isolated from the aerial part of Isodon macrocalyx. Their structures were determined using 1 D- and 2 D-NMR, HRESIMS, and comparison of their spectroscopic data with previously reported data. The isolates were evaluated for their anti-HBV activity in vitro using the HBV transfected Hep G2.2.15 cell line. Compounds 2 and 3 exhibited moderate anti-HBV activity.
The legal and ethical implications of the Indiana surrogate decision making impact on physicians and patient care in Indiana hospitals

description: Background: When a patient is incapacitated and unable to make health care decisions, a surrogate decision maker must be designated to make decisions about the patient’s care in his or her place. Studies show that fewer than 20% of patients in hospitals present with a designated health care representative form. Therefore, the overwhelming majority of surrogates in hospitals are identified via default state statutes. Little is known about the implications of state default surrogate decision making statutes on physicians and patient care in clinical practice. Methods: An evaluation of state surrogate decision making statutes was conducted in order to determine variability among state laws. Additionally, a statewide, quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional survey of a random sample of 405 physicians working in Indiana hospitals was conducted to determine: 1) physicians’ knowledge of Indiana’s surrogate decision making law; 2) physicians’ approaches to hypothetical cases they might encounter in hospital practice; and 3) any delay in patient care physicians experience as a result of state surrogate decision making laws. Results: There is very little consistency among states regarding who may serve as a surrogate decision maker. In Indiana, less than half of the surveyed physicians (47.90%) were able to correctly identify legally allowable surrogates. When presented with clinica vignettes, nearly all physicians (84.90%) report that they would allow a grandchild to act as a surrogate decision maker, even though grandchildren are not legal surrogates under the law. Additionally, more than half of physicians (53.8%) experienced a delay in patient care due to the inability to identify a legal surrogate. Conclusions: The narrow construction of state laws can leave patients in situations where they either have no qualified surrogate under the law or where they have multiple surrogates. If there are multiple surrogates with competing interests a consensus may not be reached on the patient’s medical care. These situations result in a delay of patient care. The results of this study show that the Indiana Surrogate Decision Making law is flawed as it does not reflect the composition of Indiana families and leads to delays in patient care.

description: Evolutionary synthesis models are the prime method to construct models of stellar populations, and to derive physical parameters from observations. One of the assumptions for such models so far has been the time-independence of the stellar mass function. However, dynamical simulations of star clusters in tidal fields have shown the mass function to change due to the preferential removal of low-mass stars from clusters. Here we combine the results from dynamical simulations of star clusters in tidal fields with our evolutionary synthesis code GALEV to extend the models by a new dimension: the total cluster disruption time. We reanalyse the mass function evolution found in N-body simulations of star clusters in tidal fields, parametrise it as a function of age and total cluster disruption time and use this parametrisation to compute GALEV models as a function of age, metallicity and the total cluster disruption time. We study the impact of cluster dissolution on the colour (generally, they become redder) and magnitude (they become fainter) evolution of star clusters, their mass-to-light ratios (off by a factor of ~2 -- 4 from standard predictions), and quantify the effect on the cluster age determination from integrated photometry (in most cases, clusters appear to be older than they are, between 20 and 200%). By comparing our model results with observed M/L ratios for old compact objects in the mass range 10^4.5 -- 10^8 Msun, we find a strong discrepancy for objects more massive than 10^7 Msun (higher M/L). This could be either caused by differences in the underlying stellar mass function or be an indication for the presence of dark matter in these objects. Less massive objects are well represented by the models. The models for a range of total cluster disruption times are available online. (shortened)

description: Several types of biological networks have recently been shown to be accurately described by a maximum entropy model with pairwise interactions, also known as the Ising model. Here we present an approach for finding the optimal mappings between input signals and network states that allow the network to convey the maximal information about input signals drawn from a given distribution. This mapping also produces a set of linear equations for calculating the optimal Ising model coupling constants, as well as geometric properties that indicate the applicability of the pairwise Ising model. We show that the optimal pairwise interactions are on average zero for Gaussian and uniformly distributed inputs, whereas they are non-zero for inputs approximating those in natural environments. These non-zero network interactions are predicted to increase in strength as the noise in the response functions of each network node increases. This approach also suggests ways for how interactions with unmeasured parts of the network can be inferred from the parameters of response functions for the measured network nodes.

description: We study the stability of anyonic models on lattices to perturbations. We establish a cluster expansion for the energy of the perturbed models and use it to study the stability of the models to local perturbations. We show that the spectral gap is stable when the model is defined on a sphere, so that there is no ground state degeneracy. We then consider the toric code Hamiltonian on a torus with a class of abelian perturbations and show that it is stable when the torus directions are taken to infinity simultaneously, and is unstable when the thin torus limit is taken.
Coping together? : Metro Vancouver tenants' engagement with mutual aid during extreme heat events
Creators: name: MacNicol, Rona
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Multiple factors coalesce to make some communities more at risk than others during extreme heat events. Tenants are one such community for whom this might be the case. This research investigated how tenants in Metro Vancouver engage with mutual aid in response to extreme heat events by conducting focus groups, expert interviews, and oral histories with tenants and grassroots organizations. The findings reveal that mutual aid emerges as a way for tenants to meet their immediate needs, exercise agency and build connections when they experience ongoing risk to extreme heat due to structural and infrastructural conditions. Yet, existing mutual aid efforts risk placing unsustainable pressures on people’s time and energy and unevenly distributing the acts of care. While institutional involvement with mutual aid can improve resourcing, such involvement may also bureaucratize and centralize mutual aid. This does not mean that institutions do not have a role to play in supporting mutual aid networks. Nevertheless, institutions’ involvement with mutual aid risks reducing the efficacy of mutual aid, which is understood to work best when localized, decentralized, and horizontally organized. The research suggests that the future strength of mutual aid will lie in its wider, primarily grassroots, adoption. This can be facilitated through direct actions and relationship building. The existing blueprint of tenant organizing and the relatability of feeling too hot have the potential grow mutual aid networks. Coupled with government supports such as a legal right to cooling, and affordable housing, strengthened mutual aid can make people safer and more secure during extreme heat events and in the face of other future climate impacts.

description: The lepton-number-violating decays of singly-charged Higgs bosons H^\pm are investigated in the minimal type-(I+II) seesaw model with one SU(2)_L Higgs triplet Δand one heavy Majorana neutrino N_1 at the TeV scale. We find that the branching ratios {\cal B}(H^+ \to l^+_α{\bar ν}) (for α= e, μ, τ) depend not only on the mass and mixing parameters of three light neutrinos ν_i (for i = 1, 2, 3) but also on those of N_1. Assuming the mass of N_1 to lie in the range of 200 GeV to 1 TeV, we figure out the generous interference bands for the contributions of ν_i and N_1 to {\cal B}(H^+ \to l^+_α{\bar ν}). We illustrate some salient features of such interference effects by considering three typical mass patterns of ν_i, and show that the relevant Majorana CP-violating phases can affect the magnitudes of {\cal B}(H^+ \to l^+_α{\bar ν}) in this parameter region.

description: We present a study of mechanical, electronic and magnetic properties of two dimensional (2D), monolayer of silicon carbide (SiC) in honeycomb structure and its quasi 1D armchair nanoribbons using first-principles plane wave method. In order to reveal dimensionality effects, a brief study of 3D bulk and 1D atomic chain of SiC are also included. Calculated bond-lengths, cohesive energies, charge transfers and band gaps display a clear dimensionality effect. The stability analysis based on the calculation of phonon frequencies indicates that 2D SiC monolayer is stable in planar geometry. We found that 2D SiC monolayer in honeycomb structure and its bare and hydrogen passivated nanoribbons are ionic, non-magnetic, wide band gap semiconductors. The band gap is further increased upon self-energy corrections. The mechanical properties are investigated using the strain energy calculations. The effect of various vacancy defects, adatoms and substitutional impurities on electronic and magnetic properties in 2D SiC monolayer and in its armchair nanoribbons are also investigated. Some of these vacancy defects and impurities, which are found to influence physical properties and attain magnetic moments, can be used to functionalize SiC honeycomb structures.

description: Shack Hartmann Sensor (SHS) is inflicted with significant background noise that deteriorates the wave-front reconstruction accuracy. In this paper, a simple method to remove the back ground noise with the use of Zernike polynomials is suggested. The images corresponding to individual array points of the SHS at the detector, placed at the focal plane are independently reconstructed using Zernike polynomials by the calculation of Zernike moments. Appropriate thresholding is applied on the images. It is shown with computational experiments that using Zernike Reconstructor along with usual thresholding improves the centroiding accuracy when compared to direct thresholding. A study was performed at different Signal to Noise ratio by changing the number of Zernike orders used for reconstruction. The analysis helps us in setting upper and lower bounds in the application of this denoising procedure.

title: 'I count myself as normal': an exploratory study of men with learning disabilities telling their stories about sexuality and sexual identity
Creators: name: Wheeler, Paul Nicholas
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2004

description: The discussion of sexuality and its expression is commonplace. One only has to look in a newspaper or turn on one's television for evidence of this. It is also a topic of discussion amongst academics of various backgrounds. However, in relation to people with learning disabilities, such discussion is often framed in negative terms and is concerned with such things as abuse, HIV and sexually transmitted infection, 'unwanted' pregnancy and challenging sexual behaviour. Whilst there has been considerable research into such phenomena as abuse, and the attitudes of carers to the expression of sexuality by women and men with learning disabilities, there is little published research into the question of how men and women with learning disabilities experience their sexuality or sexual identity. This study sought to explore the way in which a group of men with learning disabilities in South Wales experienced their sexuality and sexual identity using a qualitative methodology, namely, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. It found, inter alia, that despite the participants seeing themselves as sexual beings their opportunities for expressing their sexuality were often limited and controlled by others. It also found that the participants saw themselves more in terms of their differences with other men than their similarities. These and other findings of the study are discussed in relation to relevant literature. The dissertation concludes by considering possibilities for future research and changes in policy and practice that may facilitate the appropriate expression of sexuality by men with learning disabilities.

description: The WIMAX technology based on air interface standard 802.16 wireless MAN is configured in the same way as a traditional cellular network with base stations using point to multipoint architecture to drive a service over a radius up to several kilometers. The range and the Non Line of Sight (NLOS) ability of WIMAX make the system very attractive for users, but there will be slightly higher BER at low SNR. The aim of this paper is the comparative study of different guard time intervals effect for improving BER at different SNR under digital modulation (QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM) techniques and different communication channels AWGN and fading channels Stanford University Interim (SUI 1) of an WIMAX system. The comparison between these effects with Reed-Solomon (RS) encoder with Convolutional encoder (half) rated codes in FEC channel coding will be investigated. The simulation results of estimated Bit Error Rate (BER) displays that the implementation of interleaved RS code (255,239,8) with (half) rated Convolutional code of 0.25 guard time intervals under QPSK modulation technique over AWGN channel is highly effective to combat in the Wimax communication system. To complete this performance analysis in Wimax based systems, a segment of audio signal is used for analysis. The transmitted audio message is found to have retrieved effectively under noisy situation.

The art songs of Nikolai Medtner
Creators: name: Stanyer, Derek
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Nikolai Medtner (1880-1951), a Russian composer, is deserving of greater recognition for his music, particularly his art songs. Unfortunately, his songs have been critically neglected in the art song repertoire, both in terms of performance and scholarly research. This can be attributed to various factors, such as his uncompromising musical beliefs, high philosophical ideals, and the inherent complexity of his compositions, both in interpretation and musical demands. The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to provide performers with a gateway to approach Medtner's art songs, specifically focusing on his Op. 9 No. 1 and all four songs of Op. 45. To accomplish this, a comprehensive understanding of the composer is necessary, including his musical philosophy, beliefs, motivations, and personal relationships. Medtner's lifelong affinity for poetry serves as a starting point, which involves delving into his upbringing and interactions with others to elucidate his strong musical philosophy. The investigation then turns to Medtner's treatise, titled "The Muse and the Fashion," which provides insights into his controversial thoughts and motivations concerning music and his compositional process. By comprehending his firm musical philosophy and ideology, the subsequent analysis gains context and informs the exploration that follows. The study of these songs begins by examining the poetry and exploring how Medtner imbued meaning into his music based on his interpretation of the poems. Finally, the analysis narrows down to Op. 9 No. 1 and all four songs of Op. 45. The inclusion of the Op. 45 songs is significant, as they showcase Medtner's frequent utilization of innovative techniques with complex poetry. Conversely, Op. 9 No. 1 exemplifies his profound emotional connection with the poetry. Overall, this doctoral thesis seeks to shed light on Nikolai Medtner's underappreciated art songs and aims to provide performers with valuable insights and guidance in their interpretation and presentation of his works.

description: We employ an analytical approach to investigate the signatures of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs) on the convergence power spectrum of weak lensing by large scale structure. It is shown that the BAOs wiggles can be found in both of the linear and nonlinear convergence power spectra of weak lensing at about $40\le l\le600$, but they are weaker than that of matter power spectrum. Although the statistical error for LSST are greatly smaller than that of CFHT and SNAP survey especially at about $30

description: In this paper we present quantitative results for coherent pion production by neutrinos scattered off nuclei within the framework developed by Gounaris, Kartavtsev and Paschos. The method is based on PCAC and uses helicity cross sections for the scattering of weak gauge bosons on nuclei. The process relies on experimental data for elastic pion-nucleus scattering. A detailed analysis of the differential and integrated cross sections is presented for neutral and charged currents, with special emphasis on the regions of integrations. The results are extended to energies of 10.0 GeV and are compared with experimental data.

description: In this work we study the generalization of twisted homology to geometric and non-geometric backgrounds. In the process we describe the necessary conditions to wrap a network of D-branes on twisted cycles. If the cycle is localized in time, we show how by an instantonic brane mediation, some D-branes transform into fluxes on different backgrounds including non-geometric fluxes. As a consequence, we show that in the case of a IIB six-dimensional torus compactification on a simple orientifold, the flux superpotential is not invariant by this brane-flux transition, allowing the connection among different Minkowski vacuum solutions. For the case in which non-geometric fluxes are turned on, we also discuss some topological restrictions for the transition to occur. In this context, we show that there are some vacuum solutions protected to change by a brane-flux transition.

description: The excesses of the cosmic positron fraction recently measured by PAMELA and the electron spectra by ATIC, PPB-BETS, Fermi and H.E.S.S. indicate the existence of primary electron and positron sources. The possible explanations include dark matter annihilation, decay, and astrophysical origin, like pulsars. In this work we show that these three scenarios can all explain the experimental results of the cosmic $e^\pm$ excess. However, it may be difficult to discriminate these different scenarios by the local measurements of electrons and positrons. We propose possible discriminations among these scenarios through the synchrotron and inverse Compton radiation of the primary electrons/positrons from the region close to the Galactic center. Taking typical configurations, we find the three scenarios predict quite different spectra and skymaps of the synchrotron and inverse Compton radiation, though there are relatively large uncertainties. The most prominent differences come from the energy band $10^4\sim 10^9$ MHz for synchrotron emission and $\gtrsim 10$ GeV for inverse Compton emission. It might be able to discriminate at least the annihilating dark matter scenario from the other two given the high precision synchrotron and diffuse $γ$-ray skymaps in the future.

description: With the current development of multiprocessor systems, strive for computing data on such processor have also increased exponentially. If the multi core processors are not fully utilized, then even though we have the computing power the speed is not available to the end users for their respective applications. In accordance to this, the users or application designers also have to design newer applications taking care of the computing infrastructure available within. Our approach is to use the CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) as backend and MATLAB as the front end to design an application for implementing steganography. Steganography is the term used for hiding information in the cover object like Image, Audio or Video data. As the computing required for multimedia data is much more than the text information, we have been successful in implementing image Steganography with the help of technology for the next generation.
