description: We introduce the transcorrelated Density Matrix Renormalization Group (tcDMRG) theory for the efficient approximation of the energy for strongly correlated systems. tcDMRG encodes the wave function as a product of a fixed Jastrow or Gutzwiller correlator and a matrix product state. The latter is optimized by applying the imaginary-time variant of time-dependent (TD) DMRG to the non-Hermitian transcorrelated Hamiltonian. We demonstrate the efficiency of tcDMRG at the example of the two-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard Hamiltonian, a notoriously difficult target for the DMRG algorithm, for different sizes, occupation numbers, and interaction strengths. We demonstrate fast energy convergence of tcDMRG, which indicates that tcDMRG could increase the efficiency of standard DMRG beyond quasi-monodimensional systems and provides a generally powerful approach toward the dynamic correlation problem of DMRG.

description: The Sm-activated orthvanadate nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation and sol-gel methods. XRD study has shown that synthesized samples are characterized by monoclinic or tetragonal structure as well as their mixture dependently on Sm concentration and methods of synthesis. Influence of method of synthesis on morphology of nanoparticles, their absorption, diffuse reflectance and emission spectra was observed and studied.
Probing New Physics Via the Transverse Amplitudes of B0-> K*0(-> K- pi+) l+l- at Large Recoil

description: We perform an analysis of the K* polarization states in the exclusive B meson decay B0->K*0(-> K- pi+)l+ l- (l=e, mu, tau) in the low dilepton mass region, where the final vector meson has a large energy. Working in the transversity basis, we study various observables that involve the K* spin amplitudes Aperp, Apar, A0 by exploiting the heavy-to-light form factor relations in the heavy quark and large-E_K* limit. We find that at leading order in 1/m_b and alpha_s the form-factor dependence of the asymmetries that involve transversely polarized K* completely drops out. At next-to-leading logarithmic order, including factorizable and non-factorizable corrections, the theoretical errors for the transverse asymmetries turn out to be small in the standard model (SM). Integrating over the lower part of the dimuon mass region, and varying the theoretical input parameters, the SM predicts A_T^(1)=0.9986+/- 0.0002 and A_T^(2)=-0.043+/- 0.003. In addition, the longitudinal and transverse polarization fractions are found to be (69+/-3)% and (31+/-3)% respectively, so that Gamma_L/Gamma_T = 2.23+/-0.31. Beyond the SM, we focus on new physics that mainly gives sizable contributions to the coefficients C_7^eff' of the electromagnetic dipole operators. Taking into account experimental data on rare B decays, we find large effects of new physics in the transverse asymmetries. Furthermore, we show that a measurement of longitudinal and transverse polarization fractions will provide complementary information on physics beyond the SM.

description: A charged particle kicked from an initial circular orbit around a weakly magnetized Schwarzschild black hole undergoes transient chaotic motion before either getting captured by the black hole or escaping upstream or downstream with respect to the direction of the magnetic field. These final states form basins of attraction in the space of initial states. We provide a detailed numerical study of the basin structure of this initial state space. We find it to possess the peculiar Wada property: each of its basin boundaries is shared by all three basins. Using basin entropy as a measure, we show that uncertainty in predicting the final exit state increases with stronger magnetic interaction. We also present an approximate analytic expression of the critical escape energy for a vertically-kicked charged particle, and discuss how this depends on the strength of the magnetic interaction.

description: Per trovare un punto comune tra filosofia e religione bisogna inizialmente imparare a distinguerle e considerarle nella loro irriducibile differenza. A ragione Kant nel suo Conflitto delle Facoltà (1798) si occupa di distinguere l’ambito di pertinenza della religione da quello della filosofia. Negli ultimi decenni è invalso l’uso (soprattutto in Italia ma anche in Francia, poco fortunatamente in Germania) di mescolare termini filosofici con espressioni teologiche, richiamandosi erroneamente a Heidegger, che invece amava tenere rigidamente distinte le due discipline.

In this work, we demonstrate the use of the FF information extracted from three observations of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 891 to measure the rotation of NII and CI gas at Far-infrared frequencies in complement to radio observations of the HI 21cm line and the CO(1-0) transition as well as optical measurements of Halpha. We find that measurements of both NII and CI gas follow a similar velocity profile to that of HI and Halpha showing a correlation between neutral and ionized regions of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the disk of NGC 891.

description: Thin films from the lanthanum vanadate nanoparticles were successfully grown by pulsed laser deposition method on glass and silicon substrates for the first time. Morphology and thickness of the films depend on a type of substrate and a number of pulses. The films are of 27 to 220 nm thickness and formed by very small particles up to 20 nm and also can contain single nanoparticles with dimensions 40 to 60 nm and sometimes agglomerates of nanoparticles. Spectral properties of the samples have been investigated and discussed. The vanadate films deposited on the silicon substrates lead to appearance of antireflection properties in the visible range. Luminescence spectra of the investigated films consist of narrow lines caused by f-f transitions in the europium ions. For the samples on glass substrates the wide bands of glass emission are also contributed to the spectra. The optimal experimental conditions those allowed to obtain films promising for applications as luminescent converters are considered.

description: For any unitarily invariant convex function F on the states of a composite quantum system which isolates the trace there is a critical constant C such that F(w)<= C for a state w implies that w is not entangled; and for any possible D > C there are entangled states v with F(v)=D. Upper- and lower bounds on C are given. The critical values of some F's for qubit/qubit and qubit/qutrit bipartite systems are computed. Simple conditions on the spectrum of a state guaranteeing separability are obtained. It is shown that the thermal equilbrium states specified by any Hamiltonian of an arbitrary compositum are separable if the temperature is high enough.

description: C-H-N-O system is central for organic chemistry and biochemistry, and plays a major role in planetary science (dominating the composition of "ice giants" Uranus and Neptune). The inexhaustible chemical diversity of this system at normal conditions explains it as the basis of all known life, but the chemistry of this system at high pressures and temperatures of planetary interiors is poorly known. Using ab initio evolutionary algorithm USPEX, we performed an extensive study of the phase diagram of the C-H-N-O system at pressures of 50, 200, and 400 GPa and temperatures up to 3000 K. Eight novel thermodynamically stable phases were predicted, including quaternary polymeric crystal C2H2N2O2 and several new N-O and H-N-O compounds. We describe the main patterns of changes in the chemistry of the C-H-N-O system under pressure and confirm that diamond should be formed at conditions of the middle-ice layers of Uranus and Neptune. We also provide the detailed CH4-NH3-H2O phase diagrams at high pressures, which are important for a further improvement of the models of ice giants - and point out that current models are clearly deficient. In particular, in existing models Uranus and Neptune are presented to have identical composition, nearly identical pressure-temperature profiles, and a single convecting middle layer ("mantle") made of a mixture H2O : CH4 : NH3 = 56.5 : 32.5 : 11. Here we provide new insights shedding light into the difference of heat flows from Uranus and Neptune, which require them to have different compositions, pressure-temperature conditions, and a more complex internal structure.

description: In our mini-review, we address manifestations of $T/B$ scaling behavior of heavy-fermion (HF) compounds, where $T$ and $B$ are respectively temperature and magnetic field. Using experimental data and the fermion condensation theory, we show that this scaling behavior is typical of HF compounds including HF metals, quasicrystals, and quantum spin liquids. We demonstrate that such scaling behavior holds down to the lowest temperature and field values, so that $T/B$ varies in a wide range, provided the HF compound is located near the topological fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT). Due to the topological properties of FCQPT, the effective mass $M^*$ exhibits a universal behavior, and diverges as $T$ goes to zero. Such a behavior of $M^*$ has important technological applications. We also explain how to extract the universal scaling behavior from experimental data collected on different heavy-fermion compounds. As an example, we consider the HF metal $\rm YbCo_2Ge_4$, and show that its scaling behavior is violated at low temperatures. Our results obtained show good agreement with experimental facts.

We investigate the coordination sequence of the cyclotomic lattice $Ł= \Z[ζ_m]$, where $ζ_m$ is a primitive $mþ$ root of unity and where $M$ is the set of all $mþ$ roots of unity. We prove several conjectures by Parker regarding the structure of the rational generating function of the coordination sequence; this structure depends on the prime factorization of $m$. Our methods are based on unimodular triangulations of the $mþ$ cyclotomic polytope, the convex hull of the $m$ roots of unity in $\R^{ϕ(m)}$, with respect to a canonically chosen basis of $Ł$.

Teachers’ conceptions of history education : a phenomenographic inquiry
Creators: name: Harding, James Craig
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research examines three central questions: What are teachers' conceptions of history education?, What are the constituent components of these conceptions?, and Upon what sources of teacher knowledge are these conceptions based? To elicit data relevant to these questions a phenomenographic research methodology is utilised. In this phenomenographic inquiry, a conception is defined as the broadest possible understanding teachers have of what they teach, why they teach it, and how they teach it. The phenomenon in this inquiry is history education. Of primary interest are the ways in which teachers understand their purpose for history education. This inquiry utilises teachers' descriptions of their agendas and curriculum scripts to examine conceptions of history education. Certain foundational elements are used to analyse the data: a broad understanding of history education in which purpose is a salient feature; a tactical plan or the parts of instruction necessary to accomplish their purpose; reflective rationalisation which explains the knowledge upon which the purpose is predicated; and the extent to which the conception is consistent. Data is analysed from fourteen teachers who represent a cross section of teachers in secondary schools. Teachers have six ways of seeing their purposes. The conceptions include purposes focusing upon historiography, developing social studies methodology, developing a national collective identity, developing a non - national identity, developing an understanding of antecedents of current issues, and developing lessons from the past. Within conceptions representing more than one teacher, individual variations are found in the tactical plan, yet each retains enough similarity to suggest the broad categorisation. Teachers were asked to reflect upon the likely source of this conception. As phenomenography seeks to examine understanding, there is no need nor is there a way to confirm if the results reflect the actual source of their conception. However, it is significant that teachers state they believe they have developed their conception based upon certain sources. University scholarship, educational materials, the wisdom of practice, the role of students and collegial interaction are discussed as prominent in shaping conceptions. This research has important implications for teacher education and educational policy.

description: Dark jargons are benign-looking words that have hidden, sinister meanings and are used by participants of underground forums for illicit behavior. For example, the dark term "rat" is often used in lieu of "Remote Access Trojan". In this work we present a novel method towards automatically identifying and interpreting dark jargons. We formalize the problem as a mapping from dark words to "clean" words with no hidden meaning. Our method makes use of interpretable representations of dark and clean words in the form of probability distributions over a shared vocabulary. In our experiments we show our method to be effective in terms of dark jargon identification, as it outperforms another related method on simulated data. Using manual evaluation, we show that our method is able to detect dark jargons in a real-world underground forum dataset.

description: It is well-established that the process of learning and capability building is core to economic development and structural transformation. Since knowledge is `sticky', a key component of this process is learning-by-doing, which can be achieved via a variety of mechanisms including international research collaboration. Uncovering significant inter-country research ties using Scopus co-authorship data, we show that within-region collaboration has increased over the past five decades relative to international collaboration. Further supporting this insight, we find that while communities present in the global collaboration network before 2000 were often based on historical geopolitical or colonial lines, in more recent years they increasingly align with a simple partition of countries by regions. These findings are unexpected in light of a presumed continual increase in globalisation, and have significant implications for the design of programmes aimed at promoting international research collaboration and knowledge diffusion.

description: The loss landscapes of deep neural networks are not well understood due to their high nonconvexity. Empirically, the local minima of these loss functions can be connected by a learned curve in model space, along which the loss remains nearly constant; a feature known as mode connectivity. Yet, current curve finding algorithms do not consider the influence of symmetry in the loss surface created by model weight permutations. We propose a more general framework to investigate the effect of symmetry on landscape connectivity by accounting for the weight permutations of the networks being connected. To approximate the optimal permutation, we introduce an inexpensive heuristic referred to as neuron alignment. Neuron alignment promotes similarity between the distribution of intermediate activations of models along the curve. We provide theoretical analysis establishing the benefit of alignment to mode connectivity based on this simple heuristic. We empirically verify that the permutation given by alignment is locally optimal via a proximal alternating minimization scheme. Empirically, optimizing the weight permutation is critical for efficiently learning a simple, planar, low-loss curve between networks that successfully generalizes. Our alignment method can significantly alleviate the recently identified robust loss barrier on the path connecting two adversarial robust models and find more robust and accurate models on the path.

The Effect of 53 micron IR Radiation on 18 cm OH Megamaser Emission

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: OH megamasers (OHMs) emit primarily in the main lines at 1667 and 1665 MHz, and differ from their Galactic counterparts due to their immense luminosities, large linewidths and 1667/1665 MHz flux ratios, which are always greater than one. We find that these maser properties result from strong 53 micron radiative pumping combined with line overlap effects caused by turbulent linewidths of about 20 km/s; pumping calculations that do not include line overlap are unreliable. A minimum dust temperature of about 45 K is needed for inversion, and maximum maser efficiency occurs for dust temperatures in the range 80 - 140 K. We find that warmer dust can support inversion at lower IR luminosities, in agreement with observations. Our results are in good agreement with a clumpy model of OHMs, with clouds sizes about 1 pc and OH column densities about 5e16 cm^2, that is able to explain both the diffuse and compact emission observed for OHMs. We suggest that all OH main line masers may be pumped by far-IR radiation, with the major differences between OHMs and Galactic OH masers caused by differences in linewidth produced by line overlap. Small Galactic maser linewidths tend to produce stronger 1665 MHz emission. The large OHM linewidths lead to inverted ground state transitions having approximately the same excitation temperature, producing 1667/1665 MHz flux ratios greater than one and weak satellite line emission. Finally, the small observed ratio of pumping radiation to dense molecular gas, as traced by HCN and HCO$^+$, is a possible reason for the lack of OH megamaser emission in NGC 6240.

description: Diamond nanoparticles (nanodiamonds) can transport active drugs in cultured cells as well as in vivo. However, in the latter case, methods allowing to determine their bioavailability accurately are still lacking. Nanodiamond can be made fluorescent with a perfectly stable emission and a lifetime ten times longer than the one of tissue autofluorescence. Taking advantage of these properties, we present an automated quantification method of fluorescent nanodiamonds (FND) in histological sections of mouse organs and tumor, after systemic injection. We use a home-made time-delayed fluorescence microscope comprising a custom pulsed laser source synchronized on the master clock of a gated intensified array detector. This setup allows to obtain ultra-high-resolution images 120 Mpixels of whole mouse organs sections, with subcellular resolution and single-particle sensitivity. As a proof-of-principle experiment, we quantified the biodistribution and aggregation state of new cationic FNDs able to transport small interfering RNA inhibiting the oncogene responsible for Ewing sarcoma. Image analysis showed a low yield of nanodiamonds in the tumor after intravenous injection. Thus, for the in vivo efficacy assay we injected the nanomedicine into the tumor. We achieved a 28-fold inhibition of the oncogene. This method can readily be applied to other nanoemitters with $\approx$100 ns lifetime.

description: The thermodynamic instabilities of a binary mixture of sticky hard spheres (SHS) in the modified Mean Spherical Approximation (mMSA) and the Percus-Yevick (PY) approximation are investigated using an approach devised by X. S. Chen and F. Forstmann [J. Chem. Phys. 97, 3696 (1992)]. This scheme hinges on a diagonalization of the matrix of second functional derivatives of the grand canonical potential with respect to the particle density fluctuations. The zeroes of the smallest eigenvalue and the direction of the relative eigenvector characterize the instability uniquely. We explicitly compute three different classes of examples. For a symmetrical binary mixture, analytical calculations, both for mMSA and for PY, predict that when the strength of adhesiveness between like particles is smaller than the one between unlike particles, only a pure condensation spinodal exists; in the opposite regime, a pure demixing spinodal appears at high densities. We then compare the mMSA and PY results for a mixture where like particles interact as hard spheres (HS) and unlike particles as SHS, and for a mixture of HS in a SHS fluid. In these cases, even though the mMSA and PY spinodals are quantitatively and qualitatively very different from each other, we prove that they have the same kind of instabilities. Finally, we study the mMSA solution for five different mixtures obtained by setting the stickiness parameters equal to five different functions of the hard sphere diameters. We find that four of the five mixtures exhibit very different type of instabilities. Our results are expected to provide a further step toward a more thoughtful application of SHS models to colloidal fluids.

description: In this note, we study the integrability of geodesic flow in the background of a very general class of spacetimes with NUT-charge(s) in higher dimensions. This broad set encompasses multiply NUT-charged solutions, electrically and magnetically charged solutions, solutions with a cosmological constant, and time dependant bubble-like solutions. We also derive first-order equations of motion for particles in these backgrounds. Separability turns out to be possible due to the existence of non-trivial irreducible Killing tensors. Finally, we also examine the Klein-Gordon equation for a scalar field in these spacetimes and demonstrate complete separability.

description: In this paper, we show how to adapt our rigorous mathematical formalism for closed/open conformal field theory so that it captures the known physical theory of branes in the WZW model. This includes a mathematically precise approach to the Kondo effect, which is an example of evolution of one conformally invariant boundary condition into another through boundary conditions which can break conformal invariance, and a proposed mathematical statement of the Kondo effect conjecture. We also review some of the known physical results on WZW boundary conditions from a mathematical perspective.

Gender and mission : the founding generations of the Sisters of Saint Ann and the Oblates of Mary Immaculate in British Columbia, 1858-1914
Creators: name: Gresko, Jacqueline
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Most scholars who have researched on missionaries in British Columbia have not taken gender into account. This dissertation narrates and analyzes the biographies of the two founding generations of the Sisters of Saint Ann and the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. It compares their origins in Quebec and Europe, their life histories, their experiences teaching school, and their formation of the next generation of their religious communities in British Columbia. The role of gender in shaping these individuals' lives and identities can be seen in each aspect of the comparison. Both the Oblates and the Sisters experienced the asymmetry of the female and male organizations within the larger church. Over time two Roman Catholic missionary systems evolved in British Columbia: the Sisters' system of educative and caring institutions for the peoples of the province and the Oblates modified reduction system for Aboriginal peoples, known in academic literature as the Durieu system. School teaching, particularly work in residential schools for Aboriginal children, linked the two systems. The French Oblate leaders aimed to masculinize the missions and feminize school teaching. The Canadian Sisters of Saint Ann, however, set most of the educational policies within both their own institutions and those they ran at Oblate Aboriginal missions. Case studies of Oblate brothers and Sisters of Saint Ann work as teachers in 1881 show that the nuns, as members of a separate religious congregation, could negotiate with the patriarchs of the Roman Catholic church, whereas the Oblate brothers could not. Such factors affected generational continuity. The Canadian sisterhood reproduced itself in the region as a local family 'dynasty,' whereas the French Oblate order did not. Taking gender into account in a study of pioneer missionaries in British Columbia does not simply reverse the standard history where the Oblates, as men, appear central, and the Sisters of Saint Ann, as women, appear on the margins. Rather the evidence of gender widens the range of discussion and increases awareness of the complexity of the province's social and educational history.

description: The generation of stylish Chinese fonts is an important problem involved in many applications. Most of existing generation methods are based on the deep generative models, particularly, the generative adversarial networks (GAN) based models. However, these deep generative models may suffer from the mode collapse issue, which significantly degrades the diversity and quality of generated results. In this paper, we introduce a one-bit stroke encoding to capture the key mode information of Chinese characters and then incorporate it into CycleGAN, a popular deep generative model for Chinese font generation. As a result we propose an efficient method called StrokeGAN, mainly motivated by the observation that the stroke encoding contains amount of mode information of Chinese characters. In order to reconstruct the one-bit stroke encoding of the associated generated characters, we introduce a stroke-encoding reconstruction loss imposed on the discriminator. Equipped with such one-bit stroke encoding and stroke-encoding reconstruction loss, the mode collapse issue of CycleGAN can be significantly alleviated, with an improved preservation of strokes and diversity of generated characters. The effectiveness of StrokeGAN is demonstrated by a series of generation tasks over nine datasets with different fonts. The numerical results demonstrate that StrokeGAN generally outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of content and recognition accuracies, as well as certain stroke error, and also generates more realistic characters.

The constitutive activation of the DNA damage response
pathway is a novel therapeutic target
in aggressive B-cell lymphoma

description: The recent finding that MYC-driven cancers are sensitive to inhibition of the DNA damage
response (DDR) pathway, prompted us to investigate the role of DDR pathway as therapeutic
target in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which frequently overexpresses the MYC
oncogene. In a preliminary immunohistochemical study conducted on 99 consecutive DLBCL
patients, we found that about half of DLBCLs showed constitutive expression of the
phosphorylated forms of checkpoint kinases (CHK) and CDC25c, markers of DDR activation, and
of phosphorylated histone H2AX (γH2AX), marker of DNA damage and genomic instability.
Constitutive γH2AX expression correlated with c-MYC levels and DDR activation, and defined a
subset of tumors characterised by poor outcome. Next, we used the CHK inhibitor PF-0477736 as
a tool to investigate whether the inhibition of the DDR pathway might represent a novel therapeutic
approach in DLBCL. Submicromolar concentrations of PF-0477736 hindered proliferation in
DLBCL cell lines with activated DDR pathway. These results were fully recapitulated with a
different CHK inhibitor (AZD-7762). Inhibition of checkpoint kinases induced rapid DNA damage
accumulation and apoptosis in DLBCL cell lines and primary cells. These data suggest that
pharmacologic inhibition of DDR through targeting of CHK kinases may represent a novel
therapeutic strategy in DLBCL.
The second part of this work is the clinical, molecular and functional description of a paradigmatic
case of primary refractory Burkitt lymphoma characterized by spatial intratumor heterogeneity for
the TP53 mutational status, high expression levels of genomic instability and DDR activation
markers, primary resistance to chemotherapy and exquisite sensitivity to DDR inhibitors.
Il dilemma del perdono

description: Il tema del perdono assume una posizione di grande rilevanza, nel dibattito filosofico, a partire dalla seconda metà del Novecento. L'Accordo di Londra dell’8 agosto 1945, che istituì il Tribunale di Norimberga, elencò, tra i reati contestabili ai criminali nazisti, il «crimine contro l'umanità» (articolo 6, comma C), distinguendolo dal crimine di guerra. È dunque nel 1945 che nasce l’idea di azioni delittuose che riguardano violenze o abusi contro popoli, o che comunque vengono percepite, per la generale riprovazione che suscitano, come perpetrate in danno dell’umanità intera. Questo concetto dà vita a una serie di dibattiti in ambito giurisprudenziale e, in eguale se non in maggiore misura, all’interno della comunità filosofica.
