title: Safety-Focused Altruism: Valuing the Lives of Others
Creators: name: Brady, Kevin Lee
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2008

description: The value of statistical life is an estimate of the monetary benefits of preventing an anonymous death. Society's willingness to pay to eliminate private health risks determines agencies' value-of-statistical-life estimates. Most estimates ignore society's willingness to pay to eliminate others' health risks. There are two possible reasons. First, altruism does not exist: Peter is not willing to pay to save Paul's life. The second possible reason is a bit more complicated. Certain economists argue that increasing benefit estimates to account for altruism involves double-counting. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate these possibilities. Accounting for altruism, it turns out, is not double-counting if altruism is paternalistic. Furthermore, I empirically demonstrate that people are willing to pay to reduce others' health risks. Thus, the two justifications for ignoring altruism are, seemingly, unfounded, which indicates that analysts should increase the value of statistical life to account for altruism.

title: On the Applicability of Genetic Algorithms to Fast Solar Spectropolarimetric Inversions for Vector Magnetography
Creators: name: Harker, Brian J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2009

description: The measurement of vector magnetic fields on the sun is one of the most important diagnostic tools for characterizing solar activity. The ubiquitous solar wind is guided into interplanetary space by open magnetic field lines in the upper solar atmosphere. Highly-energetic solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are triggered in lower layers of the solar atmosphere by the driving forces at the visible ``surface'' of the sun, the photosphere. The driving forces there tangle and interweave the vector magnetic fields, ultimately leading to an unstable field topology with large excess magnetic energy, and this excess energy is suddenly and violently released by magnetic reconnection, emitting intense broadband radiation that spans the electromagnetic spectrum, accelerating billions of metric tons of plasma away from the sun, and finally relaxing the magnetic field to lower-energy states. These eruptive flaring events can have severe impacts on the near-Earth environment and the human technology that inhabits it. This dissertation presents a novel inversion method for inferring the properties of the vector magnetic field from telescopic measurements of the polarization states (Stokes vector) of the light received from the sun, in an effort to develop a method that is fast, accurate, and reliable. One of the long-term goals of this work is to develop such a method that is capable of rapidly-producing characterizations of the magnetic field from time-sequential data, such that near real-time projections of the complexity and flare-productivity of solar active regions can be made. This will be a boon to the field of solar flare forecasting, and should help mitigate the harmful effects of space weather on mankind's space-based endeavors. To this end, I have developed an inversion method based on genetic algorithms (GA) that have the potential for achieving such high-speed analysis.
Pups Uplifting Public Speaking (P.U.P.S.) : developing a pilot canine-assisted intervention to support children with public speaking anxiety
Creators: name: Rousseau, Camille Xinmei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Public speaking anxiety (PSA) is a common form of social anxiety. Young students are prone to experiencing PSA, particularly as they reach puberty, yet there is a dearth of interventions designed to support these students. To address this gap, the overarching aim of this research was to conduct a series of studies that collectively inform the design and development of a canine-assisted public speaking pilot program for students with PSA in Grades 6 and 7, titled Pups Uplifting Public Speaking (P.U.P.S.). Study 1 sought to understand and identify how public speaking is situated in the classroom, vis-à-vis curricular expectations and target outcomes, and how students with PSA are supported by teachers. Three 1-hour focus groups with five participants each were conducted to glean insights from Grade 6 and Grade 7 teachers in British Columbia (BC). Study 2 explored the lived experiences of Grade 6 and Grade 7 students with PSA. Twelve students participated in a semi-structured interview to capture the strategies and supports that students with PSA lean on to address their PSA. Study 3 examined 13 dog handlers’ experiences volunteering in canine-assisted interventions (CAIs) for children. An online survey was administered to capture key considerations for the successful delivery of CAIs for children. Focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews were transcribed following which an inductive analytic approach was used to identify codes. Codes were winnowed into categories and subsequently collapsed into themes and subthemes. Salient themes and subthemes identified within each study are discussed. Findings from across the three studies collectively informed the identification of seven guiding principles for the P.U.P.S. pilot program: 1) Choice; 2) Community centric; 3) Fun and engaging; 4) Safety; 5) Structure and scaffolding; 6) Technology enhanced learning; and 7) Therapy dogs as a source of support. These principles are presented within the broader discussion of findings from across the three studies. The dissertation concludes with a presentation of the P.U.P.S. pilot program in Chapter 7.

Dark matter as a dynamic effect due to a non-minimal gravitational coupling with matter
Creators: name: Bertolami, Orfeu
name: Páramos, Jorge
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this work the phenomenology of models possessing a non-minimal coupling between matter and geometry is discussed, with a particular focus on the possibility of describing the flattening of the galactic rotation curves as a dynamically generated effect derived from this modification to General Relativity. Two possibilities are discussed: firstly, that the observed discrepancy between the measured rotation velocity and the classical prediction is due to a deviation from geodesic motion, due to a non-(covariant) conservation of the energy-momentum tensor; secondly, that even if the principle of energy conservation holds, the dynamical effects arising due to the non-trivial terms in the Einstein equations of motion can give rise to an extra density contribution that may be interpreted as dark matter. The mechanism of the latter alternative is detailed, and a numerical session ascertaining the order of magnitude of the relevant parameters is undertaken, with possible cosmological implications discussed.

title: Mentoring in Marriage and Family Therapy Programs: Graduates' Perspectives
Creators: name: Hicken, Allison Webber
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2008

description: The purpose of this study was to understand how recent graduates of marriage and family therapy (MFT) master's programs experienced mentoring relationships. Fifteen recent graduates from six different MFT master's-level programs were interviewed about their experiences with mentoring relationships. Graduates shared their experiences regarding forming mentoring relationships, how these relationships affected elements of the program experience, the frequency and duration of contact, and mentors' influence after graduation. All 15 participants reported having at least one mentoring relationship and graduates described the variety of roles that their mentors took within the relationships. Characteristics of mentors are discussed in terms of positive and negative traits, and participants discussed how their mentors influenced and alleviated program stress. Graduates reported that after graduation, concerns included licensing, job placement, and the national exam, though most reported receiving little assistance in this area. Graduates offered recommendations about mentoring for current mentors, students, and MFT programs. Qualitative analyses of the interviews are discussed in terms of common themes introduced by the graduates and implications for future practice and research are discussed.
A polytopal discrete de Rham complex on manifolds, with application to the Maxwell equations

description: We design in this work a discrete de Rham complex on manifolds. This complex, written in the framework of exterior calculus, has the same cohomology as the continuous de Rham complex, is of arbitrary order of accuracy and, in principle, can be designed on meshes made of generic elements (that is, elements whose boundary is the union of an arbitrary number of curved edges/faces). Notions of local (full and trimmed) polynomial spaces are developed, with compatibility requirements between polynomials on mesh entities of various dimensions. We give explicit constructions of such polynomials in 2D, for some meshes made of curved triangles or quadrangles (such meshes are easy to design in many cases, starting from a few charts describing the manifold). The discrete de Rham complex is then used to set up a scheme for the Maxwell equations on a 2D manifold without boundary, and we show that a natural discrete version of the constraint linking the electric field and the electric charge density is satisfied. Numerical examples are provided on the sphere and the torus, based on bespoke analytical solutions and meshes on each of these manifolds.
title: The Ideal Mormon Woman: An Analysis of Ensign Articles and Comparison to LDS Women's Perceptions of Gender Role Expectations
Creators: name: Hollist, Julie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2008

description: This study was conducted to identify what principles leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were teaching women about their gender roles and expectations from 2000 through 2007, and to investigate whether age, marital status, or media exposure correlated with women's perceptions of levels of importance of those concepts to both their leaders and to themselves personally. This study used deductive and inductive framing analyses to examine visiting teaching messages and General Conference Relief Society talks published in the Ensign, the official magazine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The study built on those results to create a survey conducted with LDS women living in Cache Valley, Utah, in 2008. Survey results provided insight into levels of importance LDS women living in Cache Valley assigned to doctrinal and cultural concepts surrounding the "ideal Mormon woman." The doctrine reflected an overwhelming emphasis on both inner spiritual characteristics and religiously motivated actions. Lack of correlation between exposure to either visiting teaching messages or General Conference talks and what the women said Church leaders thought was important indicated some disconnect between what was being taught and what the LDS women reported. Although leaders' priorities were revealed by the frequency with which they taught individual components of the doctrine, the women did not recognize those priorities. Instead, they perceived that nearly everything was very important or important to their leaders. The women also indicated that although religiously motivated actions were very important, inner spiritual characteristics were even more important to them personally. Although the women reported inner spiritual characteristics as more important, they were also taking on responsibilities for those behaviors that may be more visible and easily compared to others. Exposure to General Conference talks correlated highly with how important survey items were to the women personally, which may indicate a channel of communication that is working for Church leaders. Statistically significant correlations in women's perceptions about what their leaders think and what they think personally were also found according to age and marital status, but there are not consistent trends that can be easily summarized.

title: Hydrologic Information Systems: Advancing Cyberinfrastructure for Environmental Observatories
Creators: name: Horsburgh, Jeffery S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2009

description: Recently, community initiatives have emerged for the establishment of large-scale environmental observatories. Cyberinfrastructure is the backbone upon which these observatories will be built, and scientists' ability to access and use the data collected within observatories to address research questions will depend on the successful implementation of cyberinfrastructure. The research described in this dissertation advances the cyberinfrastructure available for supporting environmental observatories. This has been accomplished through both development of new cyberinfrastructure components as well as through the demonstration and application of existing tools, with a specific focus on point observations data. The cyberinfrastructure that was developed and deployed to support collection, management, analysis, and publication of data generated by an environmental sensor network in the Little Bear River environmental observatory test bed is described, as is the sensor network design and deployment. Results of several analyses that demonstrate how high-frequency data enable identification of trends and analysis of physical, chemical, and biological behavior that would be impossible using traditional, low-frequency monitoring data are presented. This dissertation also illustrates how the cyberinfrastructure components demonstrated in the Little Bear River test bed have been integrated into a data publication system that is now supporting a nationwide network of 11 environmental observatory test bed sites, as well as other research sites within and outside of the United States. Enhancements to the infrastructure for research and education that are enabled by this research are impacting a diverse community, including the national community of researchers involved with prospective Water and Environmental Research Systems (WATERS) Network environmental observatories as well as other observatory efforts, research watersheds, and test beds. The results of this research provide insight into and potential solutions for some of the bottlenecks associated with design and implementation of cyberinfrastructure for observatory support.

description: Communities of vertices within a giant network such as the World-Wide Web are likely to be vastly smaller than the network itself. However, Fortunato and Barthélemy have proved that modularity maximization algorithms for community detection may fail to resolve communities with fewer than $\sqrt{L/2}$ edges, where $L$ is the number of edges in the entire network. This resolution limit leads modularity maximization algorithms to have notoriously poor accuracy on many real networks. Fortunato and Barthélemy's argument can be extended to networks with weighted edges as well, and we derive this corollary argument. We conclude that weighted modularity algorithms may fail to resolve communities with fewer than $\sqrt{W ε/2}$ total edge weight, where $W$ is the total edge weight in the network and $ε$ is the maximum weight of an inter-community edge. If $ε$ is small, then small communities can be resolved. Given a weighted or unweighted network, we describe how to derive new edge weights in order to achieve a low $ε$, we modify the ``CNM'' community detection algorithm to maximize weighted modularity, and show that the resulting algorithm has greatly improved accuracy. In experiments with an emerging community standard benchmark, we find that our simple CNM variant is competitive with the most accurate community detection methods yet proposed.

description: We propose a hierarchical architecture designed for scalable real-time Model Predictive Control (MPC) in complex, multi-modal traffic scenarios. This architecture comprises two key components: 1) RAID-Net, a novel attention-based Recurrent Neural Network that predicts relevant interactions along the MPC prediction horizon between the autonomous vehicle and the surrounding vehicles using Lagrangian duality, and 2) a reduced Stochastic MPC problem that eliminates irrelevant collision avoidance constraints, enhancing computational efficiency. Our approach is demonstrated in a simulated traffic intersection with interactive surrounding vehicles, showcasing a 12x speed-up in solving the motion planning problem.

description: We propose a correspondence between loop operators in a family of four dimensional N=2 gauge theories on S^4 -- including Wilson, 't Hooft and dyonic operators -- and Liouville theory loop operators on a Riemann surface. This extends the beautiful relation between the partition function of these N=2 gauge theories and Liouville correlators found by Alday, Gaiotto and Tachikawa. We show that the computation of these Liouville correlators with the insertion of a Liouville loop operator reproduces Pestun's formula capturing the expectation value of a Wilson loop operator in the corresponding gauge theory. We prove that our definition of Liouville loop operators is invariant under modular transformations, which given our correspondence, implies the conjectured action of S-duality on the gauge theory loop operators. Our computations in Liouville theory make an explicit prediction for the exact expectation value of 't Hooft and dyonic loop operators in these N=2 gauge theories. The Liouville loop operators are also found to admit a simple geometric interpretation within quantum Teichmuller theory as the quantum operators representing the length of geodesics. We study the algebra of Liouville loop operators and show that it gives evidence for our proposal as well as providing definite predictions for the operator product expansion of loop operators in gauge theory.

Colloidal stability, rheology, and self-assembly of carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals
Creators: name: Hallman, Madeleine Therese
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The commercial production of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) has increased dramatically in recent years in response to the growing demand for sustainably-sources materials. CNCs have proven to be versatile nanomaterials, endorsed for their colloidal stability, rheology, and optical properties, which make them useful as flow modifiers, reinforcing agents in composites, and property modifiers in coatings, etc. To successfully develop functional materials with CNCs, a fundamental understanding of their properties is necessary. In this thesis work, commercially produced carboxylated CNCs (DextraCel™ from Anomera) were directly compared to the more extensively studied and commercially produced sulfated CNCs (CelluRods™ from CelluForce). The colloidal stability window for CNCs in water as a function of ionic strength and pH was established to inform best handling conditions; all CNCs were colloidally stable between pH 3 and 11 with less than 5 mM of added NaCl. The primary factors that increased colloidal stability were decreasing CNC suspension concentration and increasing CNC surface charge. The rheological behavior of carboxylated CNCs as a function of concentration, surface charge and ionic strength was in line with sulfated CNCs. One key difference was that ordered microdomains (tactoids) of carboxylated CNCs were easier to disrupt under shear which resulted in self-assembly not impacting viscosity until higher concentrations than the critical concentration determined visually for liquid crystalline phase separation. CNC self-assembly lends interesting optical properties to suspensions and films; however, the presence of tactoids can be detrimental in some circumstances, e.g. where uniform distribution of CNCs is needed and when flow behavior needs to be consistent over long time periods. CNC tactoids in suspension were successfully disassembled through heating (to 50 °C) for CNCs with low surface charge. Dilution to below the critical concentration and the addition of salt also led to tactoid disassembly. Elucidating this material behavior under a large range of conditions will ideally guide researchers in the development of bioproducts incorporating CNCs.
title: Distributed Control for Robotic Swarms Using Centroidal Voronoi Tessellations
Creators: name: Rounds, Shelley
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2008

description: This thesis introduces a design combining an emerging area in robotics with a well established mathematical research topic: swarm intelligence and Voronoi tessellations, respectively. The main objective for this research is to design an economical and robust swarm system to achieve distributed control. This research combines swarm intelligence with Voronoi tessellations to localize a source and create formations. Extensive software coding must be implemented for this design, such as the development of a discrete centroidal Voronoi tessellation (CVT) algorithm. The ultimate purpose of this research is to advance the existing Mobile Actuator and Sensor Network (MASnet) platform to eventually develop a cooperative robot team that can sense, predict, and nally neutralize a diusion process. Previous work on the MASnet platform has served as a foundation for this research. While growing closer to the MASnet goal, results also provide stimulating discoveries for mathematical and swarm research areas.

description: The Borrmann effect, which is related to the microscopic distribution of the electromagnetic field inside the primitive cell, is studied in photonic and magnetophotonic crystals. This effect, well-known in x-ray spectroscopy, is responsible for the enhancement or suppression of various linear and nonlinear optical effects when the incidence angle and/or the frequency change. It is shown that by design of the primitive cell this effect can be suppressed and even inverted.

description: Causal discovery, the task of inferring causal structure from data, has the potential to uncover mechanistic insights from biological experiments, especially those involving perturbations. However, causal discovery algorithms over larger sets of variables tend to be brittle against misspecification or when data are limited. For example, single-cell transcriptomics measures thousands of genes, but the nature of their relationships is not known, and there may be as few as tens of cells per intervention setting. To mitigate these challenges, we propose a foundation model-inspired approach: a supervised model trained on large-scale, synthetic data to predict causal graphs from summary statistics -- like the outputs of classical causal discovery algorithms run over subsets of variables and other statistical hints like inverse covariance. Our approach is enabled by the observation that typical errors in the outputs of a discovery algorithm remain comparable across datasets. Theoretically, we show that the model architecture is well-specified, in the sense that it can recover a causal graph consistent with graphs over subsets. Empirically, we train the model to be robust to misspecification and distribution shift using diverse datasets. Experiments on biological and synthetic data confirm that this model generalizes well beyond its training set, runs on graphs with hundreds of variables in seconds, and can be easily adapted to different underlying data assumptions.

Year: 2008

description: Research has been completed to determine the most effective thermal control architecture for modular satellites. This research investigated principles of modularity, modular spacecraft examples, thermal control methods, and advanced thermal control technologies. A modular spacecraft was designed as a case study to determine key influences and issues. A number of thermal control architectures were developed. Each was evaluated for compatibility with modularity principles, thermal control performance, and a realizable implementation. Thermal control performance was determined by simulating on-orbit conditions for a number of design reference missions, including traditional thermal control architecture used for comparison. An effective thermal control architecture was found that has all desired attributes. The methods of development, simulation, and evaluation are presented with results and key findings.

Specific heat, magnetocalorimetry, ac magnetic susceptibility, torque magnetometry, and inelastic neutron scattering data have been acquired over a wide range of temperature, down to 60 mK, and magnetic field, up to 18 T. The magnetic interactions are quasi-two-dimensional prior to long-range ordering, where $T_N = 1.66$ K in $H = 0$. In the $T \to 0$ limit, the magnetic field tuned antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition suggests a critical field $H_c = 7.270$ T and a critical exponent $α= 0.481 \pm 0.004$. The neutron data indicate the magnetic interactions may extend over intra-planar nearest-neighbors and inter-planar next-nearest-neighbor spins.

In this study, synthesis of lactose-amines was done at four different heating and cooling cycles from 4 to 24 hours. Lactose-amines processed for 24 hours and 12 hours of constant heating and cooling cycles are named as 24H and 12H, respectively. Lactose-amines 4H and 8H were processed for 4 and 8 hours of constant heating at 60°C. The 24H and 12H samples were white in color as they were exposed to heat for short time (due to the cooling cycle) i.e. 2-2.5 and 1.5 hours, respectively, as compare to 4H and 8H (i.e. 4 hours and 8 hours, respectively). It was assumed that white colored compounds are early intermediates of Maillard browning reactions known as Amadori. The light brown color of the 4 hours heat-treated product might contain intermediate products of the Maillard browning reaction. The dark brown colored after 8 hours of constant heating might have advanced Maillard products and polymers. Each lactose-amine sample was used as emulsifiers in oil-in-water (20:80 ratio of oil: water) emulsion at four different concentrations (0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%, and 1%). Negative controls consisted of hexadecyl-amine and lactose at the same concentrations as stated above, as well as an oil-in-water control. The positive control was an emulsion containing 2% whey protein (WP). Emulsions were formed with a microfluidizer 110S at a pressure of 6,900 psi. Emulsion stability was monitored by measuring the oil droplet sizes of each emulsion on day 0 and destabilization kinetics on day 1 and 5. The oil droplet size distribution and destabilization kinetics of the emulsions prepared with lactose-amines (4H, 8H, 12H, and 24H) at 0.01% of concentration were closer towards the negative controls (lactose, fatty-amine, and o/w). At 1% concentration, emulsions prepared with all types of lactose-amines had smaller droplet size similar to WPC 80. Destabilization kinetic profiles of the emulsions show that 1% lactose-amines produced more stabilized emulsions as compared to WPC 80 with respect to time. Emulsions of 4H and 24H were following the similar trend of droplet size distribution and destabilization rate as of WPC 80. Lactose-amines 8H and 12H emulsions were showing more destabilization and bigger oil droplet size as compared to 4H, 24H, and WPC 80. Droplet size distribution at day 0 and destabilization kinetics from day 0 to day 5 showed that the types of lactose-amines and their increasing concentrations have great influence on the stability of emulsions. This research has shown that lactose-amines produced at treatments of 24 and 4 hours are effective at stabilizing emulsions at 1% concentration.

description: Gray wolf (Canis lupus) depredation on beef calves has been studied extensively in recent years. As wolf populations increase throughout the United States there is a corresponding increase in wolf/livestock interactions. Most research concentrates on summaries of reported depredations and surveys of producers affected by depredations. The objective of this study was to present data on the fate of beef calves on 3 farms in Minnesota and Wisconsin over a 2-year period. Predator presence/absence was studied as an indicator of potential depredations. Also, data are presented comparing 2 techniques that may aid researchers and livestock producers with monitoring livestock. Radio telemetry collars and ear tags were applied to beef calves on 3 farms in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin during the spring and summer of 2006 and 2007. During this time, 4 calves were killed by wolves on the study farms. Wolves did not appear to be selecting the youngest calves and most depredations occurred from April through July. Although not statistically significant, wolf sign appeared at slightly higher rates on study farms than on land adjacent to these farms. Predator sign, including coyote (Canis latrans) and black bear (Ursus americanus), appeared more often in the heavily forested areas of the farms. Radio collars and radio ear tags were helpful for monitoring beef calves during this study. Radio collars had much longer transmitting distances than ear tags (2.3 ± 0.8 miles and 0.4 ± 0.2 miles, respectively). Radio ear tags had a potential for causing beef calves' ears to droop or were ripped out, possibly lowering their market value. Currently, cost is prohibitive for the widespread use of radio transmitters for monitoring livestock but as the price of new technologies decreases, transmitters may become an integral part of livestock production on farms with chronic wolf depredation.

description: Distance education has the ability to transcend distance and time, reaching students anywhere at any time, particularly those underrepresented in engineering. Engineering is a practice-oriented profession requiring an interweaving of scientific theory and applied hands-on activities. Despite the need for distance education in engineering, few studies have systematically investigated the impact of student achievement and attitude in distance engineering laboratories. This quasi-experimental research addressed that need by studying the cognitive and affective domains of achievement in engineering laboratories while employing computer-based and traditional oscilloscopes. The students from two courses, electrical engineering for nonmajors and electronic fundamentals, were randomly assigned into treatment and comparison groups. The students' achievement and attitudes were gauged using assessment instruments and an attitudinal survey. These results were statistically analyzed and conclusions are discussed. The results suggested that computer-based instruments were viable in engineering laboratories.

description: This CLIMATEFIT deliverable (D1.1) is the main outcome of Work Package 1 (WP1) “Stocktake, Understand and Capitalise.” WP1 describes the current Adaptation Investment Landscape (AIL), analyse the barriers and drivers for funding and financing of climate resilience, from the financing and investment entities and from the 20 territories’ perspective. The AIL is defined in CLIMATEFIT as “a descriptive assessment of the barriers, enablers, and good practices associated with the funding and financing of climate adaptation.” The AIL is essentially a description of the current state of adaptation finance, described from three perspectives: territories and the leading PA of that territory (for example, a municipality and its local government), FIEs, and complemented with international best practices of innovative Adaptation funding and financing solutions (AFFS).

description: Characteristic functions contain complete information about all the moments of a classical distribution and the same holds for the Fourier transform of the Wigner function: a quantum characteristic function, or the chord function. However, knowledge of a finite number of moments does not allow for accurate determination of the chord function. For pure states this provides the overlap of the state with all its possible rigid translations (or displacements). We here present a semiclassical approximation of the chord function for large Bohr-quantized states, which is accurate right up to a caustic, beyond which the chord function becomes evanescent. It is verified to pick out blind spots, which are displacements for zero overlaps. These occur even for translations within a Planck area of the origin. We derive a simple approximation for the closest blind spots, depending on the Schroedinger covariance matrix, which is verified for Bohr-quantized states.

description: The existence of strong lensing systems with Einstein radii (Re) covering the full mass spectrum, from ~1-2" (produced by galaxy scale dark matter haloes) to >10" (produced by galaxy cluster scale haloes) have long been predicted. Many lenses with Re around 1-2" and above 10" have been reported but very few in between. In this article, we present a sample of 13 strong lensing systems with Re in the range 3"- 8", i.e. systems produced by galaxy group scale dark matter haloes, spanning a redshift range from 0.3 to 0.8. This opens a new window of exploration in the mass spectrum, around 10^{13}- 10^{14} M_{sun}, which is a crucial range for understanding the transition between galaxies and galaxy clusters. Our analysis is based on multi-colour CFHTLS images complemented with HST imaging and ground based spectroscopy. Large scale properties are derived from both the light distribution of the elliptical galaxies group members and weak lensing of the faint background galaxy population. On small scales, the strong lensing analysis yields Einstein radii between 2.5" and 8". On larger scales, the strong lenses coincide with the peak of the light distribution, suggesting that mass is traced by light. Most of the luminosity maps have complicated shapes, indicating that these intermediate mass structures are dynamically young. Fitting the reduced shear with a Singular Isothermal Sphere, we find sigma ~ 500 km/s and an upper limit of ~900 km/s for the whole sample. The mass to light ratio for the sample is found to be M/L_i ~ 250 (solar units, corrected for evolution), with an upper limit of 500. This can be compared to mass to light ratios of small groups (with sigma ~ 300 km/s and galaxy clusters with sigma > 1000 km/s, thus bridging the gap between these mass scales.
