description: We report on microtube ring resonators with quantum wells embedded as an optically active material. Optical modes are observed over a broad energy range. Their properties strongly depend on the exact geometry of the microtube along its axis. In particular we observe (i) preferential emission of light on the inside edge of the microtube and (ii) confinement of light also in direction of the tube axis by an axially varying geometry which is explained in an expanded waveguide model.

description: Abstract

There is a distinction between authorial voice and narrative voice. Sometimes it is obvious and at other times it is so subtle and challenging that only a critical reader could identify it.  Elechi Amadi’s The Concubine, a significant work in African literature, known for its portrayal of traditional Nigerian society and the tensions between the physical and metaphysical realms is one narrative fiction that poses such a challenge. It is in this light that this paper explores the subtle authorial voice in The Concubine by focusing on how the novel’s portrayal of metaphysical causality is shaped by editorial function and authorial voice. Employing the Theory of Deconstructionism, this paper argues that the inscrutability of life in the novel stems from man’s quest for metaphysical explanations rather than any inherent supernatural necessity. The argument in this paper is not on the believability of the myths that shape the narrative’s events but on the author’s employment of authorial voice as an editorial function to critique the collective unconscious in Omokachi. Contrary to the community’s belief that the gods are responsible for the deaths of Emenike, Madume, and Ekwueme, the analysis shows that these deaths are mere chance events. Elechi Amadi uses authorial voice as a subtle editorial function to critique the society’s supernatural explanations. The analysis of the circumstances of each death—Emenike’s injuries from a fight, Madume’s suicide after a snakebite, and Ekwueme’s accidental death from a stray arrow—demonstrates that these incidents are not intended to be understood as supernatural but rather random occurrences. This paper therefore concludes that the authorial voice challenges the metaphysical assumptions of the novel’s characters, thereby providing a rational interpretation of the events in the novel.
Non-independent continuous time random walks

description: The usual development of the continuous time random walk (CTRW) assumes that jumps and time intervals are a two-dimensional set of independent and identically distributed random variables. In this paper we address the theoretical setting of non-independent CTRW's where consecutive jumps and/or time intervals are correlated. An exact solution to the problem is obtained for the special but relevant case in which the correlation solely depends on the signs of consecutive jumps. Even in this simple case some interesting features arise such as transitions from unimodal to bimodal distributions due to correlation. We also develop the necessary analytical techniques and approximations to handle more general situations that can appear in practice.

description: The first part of the present paper is devoted to a systematic construction of continuous-time finite-dimensional integrable systems arising from the rational su(2) Gaudin model through certain contraction procedures. In the second part, we derive an explicit integrable Poisson map discretizing a particular Hamiltonian flow of the rational su(2) Gaudin model. Then, the contraction procedures enable us to construct explicit integrable discretizations of the continuous systems derived in the first part of the paper.

description: We investigate the structure of fuzzy aggregation rules which, for every permissible profile of fuzzy individual preferences, specify a fuzzy social preference. We show that all fuzzy aggregation rules which are strategyproof and satisfy a minimal range condition are dictatorial. In other words, there is an individual whose fuzzy preferences determine the entire fuzzy social ranking at every profile in the domain of the aggregation rule. To prove this theorem, we show that all fuzzy aggregation rules which are strategyproof and satisfy the minimal range condition must also satisfy counterparts of independence of irrelevant alternatives and the Pareto criterion. There has been hardly any treatment of the manipulability problem in the literature on social choice with fuzzy preferences.

description: Continuous fluidized bed roasters are being widely used in industries for oxidation of sulphide ores. In the present study we consider a roaster of height 24.5m, freeboard diameter of 16.85m and bed diameter of 12.5m. The distributor contains 12300 nozzles of diameter 6mm. It has two material inlets for the zinc concentrate, one gas outlet for the top product and one outlet for the bottom product. The air is blown from the bottom through four inlets for distribution across the distributor. Cooling of the bed is done by ten cooling coils inserted in the bed and water injected on the top of the bed. The feed contains around 60% particles of size ≤ 57 micron. The initial bed height is 0.8m. In this study a 3D multiphase Eulerian-Eulerian computational fluid dynamics model has been used to study the flow profile of the particles of different sizes individually (two-phase flow) as well as together (five phases). Due to the complexity of the geometry, the roaster was divided into several zones to reduce the number of cells and the computational time. Single phase simulations were carried out with 2.4 million, 3.2 million as well as 4.3 million cells and it was found that for preliminary studies a computational domain consisting of 2.4 million cells would suffice. Simulations were carried out on a HPC with 32 nodes. It was seen that there was considerable difference in the flow profiles in the case of two-phase and five-phase flow for finer particles due to resistance offered by larger size particles on the flow of finer particles.
The development of school principalship in Vancouver, 1886-1928
Creators: name: Chiang, Po-Yu Emmy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The traditional role of the school principal as head teacher, school secretary, janitor and nurse became transformed during the last century in the United States, as growth of the size of city schools required principals to provide supervisory and instructional leadership. By the turn of the century, principals of large urban centres were granted much administrative control over their schools and were relieved of teaching, clerical, janitorial and medical duties so that they could devote their time to inspect classes and manage their staff. As this was the state of the profession in the United States, the purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether or not the same kind of change occurred in Canadian schools, and whether this American trend had any impact on the pace or pattern of change for Canadian school principals. Early school principalship in Vancouver, as it developed from 1886 to 1928, is selected as a case for inquiry. The study profiles the personal and professional background of Vancouver's first principals and describes the nature of their work during this time period. As the various available sources, such as the annual provincial superintendent's reports and school board meeting minutes show, while the profession did undergo similar type of reform, as principals evolved from head teachers to supervisors and managers, the process was hampered by local elements and concerns, as well as decisions made by city and provincial authorities. One can conclude from these findings that, for one Canadian city at least, new models and ideas in school administration from the United States were not quickly or easily transferred and adopted. For Vancouver, the decision to redefine the role of school principals happened only when local needs justified such a move.
The influenza virus RNA polymerase as an innate immune agonist and antagonist.

description: Influenza A viruses cause a mild-to-severe respiratory disease that affects millions of people each year. One of the many determinants of disease outcome is the innate immune response to the viral infection. While antiviral responses are essential for viral clearance, excessive innate immune activation promotes lung damage and disease. The influenza A virus RNA polymerase is one of viral proteins that affect innate immune activation during infection, but the mechanisms behind this activity are not well understood. In this review, we discuss how the viral RNA polymerase can both activate and suppress innate immune responses by either producing immunostimulatory RNA species or directly targeting the components of the innate immune signalling pathway, respectively. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive overview of the polymerase residues, and their mutations, associated with changes in innate immune activation, and discuss their putative effects on polymerase function based on recent advances in our understanding of the influenza A virus RNA polymerase structure.

The neutrino state is described by the Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata-Pontecorvo unitary mixing matrix only in the case of relativistic neutrinos and Standard Model left-handed charge current interaction. The problem of Wigner spin rotation caused by Lorentz transformation from the rest production frame to the laboratory frame is considered. Moreover, the mixture of the neutrino states as a function of their energy and parameters from the extension of the Standard Model are investigated. Two sources of mixture, the appearance of subdominant helicity states, and mass mixing with several different mixing matrices are studied.

description: The description of the proximity effect in superconducting/ferromagnetic heterostructures requires to use spin-dependent boundary conditions. Such boundary conditions must take into account the spin dependence of the phase shifts acquired by electrons upon scattering on the boundaries of ferromagnets. The present article shows that this property can strongly affect the critical temperature and the energy dependence of the density of states of diffusive heterostructures. These effects should allow a better caracterisation of diffusive superconductor/ferromagnet interfaces.

Kinetic Energy Density Study of Some Representative Semilocal Kinetic Energy Functionals

description: There is a number of explicit kinetic energy density functionals for non-interacting electron systems that are obtained in terms of the electron density and its derivatives. These semilocal functionals have been widely used in the literature. In this work we present a comparative study of the kinetic energy density of these semilocal functionals, stressing the importance of the local behavior to assess the quality of the functionals. We propose a quality factor that measures the local differences between the usual orbital-based kinetic energy density distributions and the approximated ones, allowing to ensure if the good results obtained for the total kinetic energies with these semilocal functionals are due to their correct local performance or to error cancellations. We have also included contributions coming from the laplacian of the electron density to work with an infinite set of kinetic energy densities. For all the functionals but one we have found that their success in the evaluation of the total kinetic energy are due to global error cancellations, whereas the local behavior of their kinetic energy density becomes worse than that corresponding to the Thomas-Fermi functional.

description: We show that continuous dynamical decoupling can protect a two-qubit entangled state from sudden death at finite temperature due to uncorrelated dephasing, bit flipping, and dissipation. We consider a situation where an entangled state shared between two non-interacting qubits is initially prepared and left evolve under the environmental perturbations and the protection of external fields. To illustrate the protection of the entanglement, we solve numerically a master equation in the Born approximation, considering independent boson fields at the same temperature coupled to the different error agents of each qubit.

title: Effects of autonomous vehicles on pavement distress & road safety and pavement distress optimization
Creators: name: Rana, Md Masud
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: The commercial application of automation technology in passenger and freight transport will bring positive revolutionary changes in transportation mobility. Despite having more advantages, automation in trucking technology has some detrimental effects on the performance of asphalt pavement and highway safety. This study focuses on optimization of asphalt pavement distresses and prediction of rutting induced traffic safety factors for movement of autonomous trucks. This study optimizes the asphalt concrete (AC) pavement distresses by devising traffic input in Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Software, AASHTOWare. An increase in pavement distresses was observed for a small increase in the standard deviation of wheel wander, uniform distribution of truck traffic loading, and equal distribution of vehicle positioning on the road lanes. Permanent deformation of the asphalt concrete layer for roads (PEDRO) model was incorporated to predict AC pavement rutting for a typical pavement section. Hydroplaning speed and skid resistance as traffic safety factors were evaluated from widely accepted empirical equations for the induced rutting. A standard tire rather than a truck tire was considered due to its high susceptibility to traffic safety. A graphical relationship has been proposed to obtain a design threshold value for hydroplaning speed, water film depth and autonomous truck speed. An attempt was made to improve pavement performance by increasing frequency of truck load in low-temperature period of a day.
Adult students in university : long-term persistence to degree-completion
Creators: name: McLaren, Jack
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Long-term persistence to degree completion by adult university students represents a different focus from most adult education participation research and higher education dropout research. Much of the research on adults in university has treated these adults as a new (non-traditional) group, despite evidence that many had been enrolled as traditional-age students. Samples limited to first-year students, part-time students, and students in special programs provide only a limited perspective on the whole population of adults in university. It was hypothesized that adults who had been in university as traditional-age students and returned later (Re-entry studenty) would be more persistent to degree completion than adults who had enrolled for the first time at age twenty-five or older (Adult Entry students). While the hypothesis was not clearly supported, differences between the two groups were discovered. Six hypotheses were generated from the literature on adult participation and on higher education dropouts. These were tested using bivariate analysis. The multivariate techniques of multiple regression and discriminant analysis were employed to examine differences between Re-entry students and Adult Entry students in persistence to degree completion. The most important variable affecting Re-entry-students' persistence was Grade Point Average; the most potent variable with Adult Entry students was work-related problems. With both groups, persistence was affected by satisfaction. Early-career mobility had an ambiguous effect; downward mobility in early career was associated with persistence by Adult Entry students; upward mobility correlated with persistence by Re-entry students. A new typology of adult student in higher education is suggested. First-time students—new students who have never previously been enrolled—are a high-risk group (prone to dropout), but those who persist initially may become more persistent than Re-entry students.

description: Contingent valuation has been used extensively in estimating the value of environmental goods. One criticism of this approach, however, is that respondents in referendum-style contingent valuation surveys may express citizen assessments that take into account benefits to others rather than benefits that accrue purely to the respondent themselves. Within this context, the aim of this paper is to examine to what extent individuals express different preferences when adopting a personal or a social/citizen perspective. While this paper provides some support for the hypothesis that individuals express different preferences when adopting collective as opposed to personal choices, reported willingness to pay (WTP) was found to be insensitive to whether or not the respondents were asked the WTP question from a personal or social perspective.

description: We prove that the spaces of controlled (branched) rough paths of arbitrary order form a continuous field of Banach spaces. This structure has many similarities to an (infinite-dimensional) vector bundle and allows to define a topology on the total space, the collection of all controlled path spaces, which turns out to be Polish in the geometric case. The construction is intrinsic and based on a new approximation result for controlled rough paths. This framework turns well-known maps such as the rough integration map and the Itô-Lyons map into continuous (structure preserving) mappings. Moreover, it is compatible with previous constructions of interest in the stability theory for rough integration.

description: For solid 4He and solid p-H2, using the flow-energy-minimizing one-body phase function and exact T=0 K Monte Carlo calculations of the local density, we have calculated the phase function, the velocity profile and upper bounds for the superfluid fraction f_s. At the melting pressure for solid 4He we find that f_s < 0.20-0.21, about ten times what is observed. This strongly indicates that the theory for the calculation of these upper bounds needs substantial improvements.

description: The physical interpretation of the spectral line polarization produced by the joint action of the Hanle and Zeeman effects offers a unique opportunity to obtain empirical information about hidden aspects of solar and stellar magnetism. To this end, it is important to achieve a complete understanding of the sensitivity of the emergent spectral line polarization to the presence of a magnetic field. Here we present a detailed theoretical investigation on the role of resonance scattering and magnetic fields on the polarization signals of the Ba II D1 and D2 lines of the Fraunhofer spectrum, respectively at 4934 Å and 4554 Å. We adopt a three-level model of Ba II, and we take into account the hyperfine structure that is shown by the $^{135}$Ba and $^{137}$Ba isotopes. Despite of their relatively small abundance (18%), the contribution coming from these two isotopes is indeed fundamental for the interpretation of the polarization signals observed in these lines. We consider an optically thin slab model, through which we can investigate in a rigorous way the essential physical mechanisms involved (resonance polarization, Zeeman, Paschen-Back and Hanle effects), avoiding complications due to radiative transfer effects. We assume the slab to be illuminated from below by the photospheric solar continuum radiation field, and we investigate the radiation scattered at 90 degrees, both in the absence and in the presence of magnetic fields, deterministic and microturbulent. We show in particular the existence of a differential magnetic sensitivity of the three-peak Q/I profile that is observed in the D2 line in quiet regions close to the solar limb, which is of great interest for magnetic field diagnostics.

description: We present a high-pressure x-ray diffuse scattering study of the ABO$_3$ ferroelectric perovskites BaTiO_3 and KNbO_3. The well-known diffuse lines are observed in all the phases studied. In KNbO_3, we show that the lines are present up to 21.8 GPa, with constant width and a slightly decreasing intensity. At variance, the intensity of the diffuse lines observed in the cubic phase of BaTiO_3 linearly decreases to zero at $\sim 11$ GPa. These results are discussed with respect to x-ray absorption measurements, which leads to the conclusion that the diffuse lines are only observed when the B atom is off the center of the oxygen tetrahedron. The role of such disorder on the ferroelectric instability of perovskites is discussed.

description: We consider, in the effective field theory context, anomalies of gauge field theories on a slice of a five-dimensional, Anti-de Sitter geometry and their four-dimensional, holographic duals. A consistent effective field theory description can always be found, notwithstanding the presence of the anomalies and without modifying the degrees of freedom of the theory. If anomalies do not vanish, the d=4 theory contains additional pseudoscalar states, which are either present in the low-energy theory as physical, light states, or are eaten by (would-be massless) gauge bosons. We show that the pseudoscalars ensure that global anomalies of the four-dimensional dual satisfy the 't Hooft matching condition and comment on the relevance for warped models of electroweak symmetry breaking.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The start-up and step-up operation of two 16-liter, continuously operated, upflow anaerobic reactors receiving baker's yeast wastewater is presented in this thesis. The two reactors (A and B) were almost identical in construction. Reactor A was a conventional upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, and reactor B was a hybrid reactor. In addition to all the features of a UASB reactor, a fixed-film structure was installed in the mid section of the reactor B. Both reactors were operated at 35 °C and at a constant hydraulic retention time of 7 days. The waste strength, expressed in chemical oxygen demand (COD), was varied from 8 g COD liter⁻¹ (during the start-up) to 58 g COD liter⁻¹. The organic loading rate ranged from 1.1 to 9.4 g COD liter⁻¹ day⁻¹. The start-up lasted for the first 46 days. Towards the end of the start-up, methane production rates of 0.23 and 0.28 liter CH₄ liter⁻¹ day⁻¹ and COD reductions of 62.2% and 67.2% were achieved at organic loading rates of 1.1 and 1.3 g COD liter⁻¹ day⁻¹ for reactors A and B respectively. During the step-up operation, maximum methane production rates were, for reactors A and B respectively, 0.91 and 0.95 liter CH₄ liter⁻¹ day⁻¹ at organic loading rates of 5.8 and 6.4 g COD liter⁻¹ day⁻¹. In addition, reactor profiles for sludge concentration, pH, volatile fatty acids, and COD are also presented.

description: A drop weight tester (DWT) is designed and fabricated for the purpose of analyzing single particle impact breakage characteristics of different ores. The test results were evaluated through the breakage distributions of different size fractions at five different input energy levels. The breakage parameter, t10 (Narayanan, 1986) is used to represent the degree of size reduction, which is assumed to be representative of the breakage product size distribution obtained from single particle breakage. Representation of breakage distribution with this method consist one more breakage dependent parameter (α). To evaluate the impact breakage characteristic of different ores, a mathematical relationship was established to analyze the dependency of breakage parameters, t10 and α on specific input energy (EIS) or fracture energy (Tavares et al, 1998, Fandrich, 1998), specimen size (χ) and Bond’s operating work index (WI0). Mathematical results developed gives adequate model for all ball mill modeling. It can be concluded that the drop weight test method is a useful and practical way of evaluating the impact strengths of various ores and results of which can be used in modeling mills.

description: Commonage represents land held under common property which incorporates a system of local cooperative arrangements and rules to conserve and manage the Irish uplands. We analyse the institutional and economic factors which influence the behavior of commonage farmers under a common property regime using a recursive bivariate probit model. Results show that (1) cooperation has a positive and important impact on commonage conservation; (2) agricultural policies by way of livestock premia increase the level of degradation; whilst (3) farm financial support through agri-environment measures positively affects commonage conservation and encourages cooperation between farmers.

description: Panthea acronyctoides species-group The P. acronyctoides species-group contains a single species pair, P. acronyctoides and P. virginarius, with P. acronyctoides populations arranged into two subspecies. The male is characterized by the bulbous vesica armed with a pair of unequal-sized cornuti, the female by the globular or oval single chambered corpus bursae and a short wide ductus, about 2 × as long as wide. Both species have populations with a strongly contrasting black and white pattern, very similar in external appearance to each other and to the Palaearctic species P. coenobita (Esper), but not found in any other North American species. The P. acronytoides group appears to be most closely related to the P. furcilla group. DNA cox -1barcode sequence data shows little differentiation within or between the two groups (Anweiler unpubl. data).
