Exploring the role of feel in the creative process of modern dancers using a resonance-based approach: An ethnographic study
Creators: name: Lussier-Ley, Chantale
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Recreation.

description: The present qualitative study aimed to explore the role of feel within the creative process of pre-professional modern dancers. Grounded in the participatory paradigm (Heron & Reason, 1997), this ethnographic study was informed by the resonance approach to performance and living (Newburg, 2006). It chronicles the creative and affective experiences of six dancers and I over a four month period. Qualitative data was collected through participant observation, full participation, field notes, reflexive journaling, videotaping of rehearsals and performances, informal conversations with informants, and 12 weekly focus group discussions. Deductive and inductive content analyses (Cote, Salmela, Baria, & Russell, 1993) as well as narrative analyses (Polkinghorne, 1995) were used to examine all data collected. Results suggest that the RPM is an effective framework for discussion, reflection, and creative exploration with modern dancers. Findings indicate that individual feel is an integral element of creativity in the dancers. Furthermore, collective feel emerged as a meaningful aspect of the dancers' creative experiences. Applied research and educational implications are highlighted.

description: Neutrophils are the most numerous immune cells. Their importance as the first line of defense against bacterial and fungal pathogens is well described. In contrast, the role of neutrophils in controlling viral infections is less clear. Bacterial and fungal pathogens can stimulate neutrophils extracellular traps (NETs) in a process called NETosis. Although NETosis has previously been described as a special form of programmed cell death, there are forms of NET production that do not end with the demise of neutrophils. As an end result of NETosis, genomic DNA complexed with microbicidal proteins is expelled from neutrophils. These structures can kill pathogens or at least prevent their local spread within host tissue. On the other hand, disproportionate NET formation can cause local or systemic damage. Only recently, it was recognized that viruses can also induce NETosis. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms by which NETs are produced in the context of viral infection and how this may contribute to both antiviral immunity and immunopathology. Finally, we shed light on viral immune evasion mechanisms targeting NETs.

description: We compare common star formation rate (SFR) indicators in the local Universe in the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) equatorial fields (~160 deg2), using ultraviolet (UV) photometry from GALEX, far-infrared and sub-millimetre (sub-mm) photometry from Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey, and Hα spectroscopy from the GAMA survey. With a high-quality sample of 745 galaxies (median redshift 〈z〉 = 0.08), we consider three SFR tracers: UV luminosity corrected for dust attenuation using the UV spectral slope β (SFRUV, corr), Hα line luminosity corrected for dust using the Balmer decrement (BD) (SFRHα, corr), and the combination of UV and infrared (IR) emission (SFRUV + IR). We demonstrate that SFRUV, corr can be reconciled with the other two tracers after applying attenuation corrections by calibrating Infrared excess (IRX; i.e. the IR to UV luminosity ratio) and attenuation in the Hα (derived from BD) against β. However, β, on its own, is very unlikely to be a reliable attenuation indicator. We find that attenuation correction factors depend on parameters such as stellar mass (M*), z and dust temperature (Tdust), but not on Hα equivalent width or Sérsic index. Due to the large scatter in the IRX versus β correlation, when compared to SFRUV + IR, the β-corrected SFRUV, corr exhibits systematic deviations as a function of IRX, BD and Tdust.
ODEASY: A query tool for ordinary differential equations.

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are widely used in the modeling of physical systems. However, the numerical methods employed to approximate solutions to systems of ODEs can be constrained by truncation error, round-off error, and problems of stability and stiffness. These issues can be circumvented for equations that have known analytical solutions if the solutions are readily accessible in a database. The challenge then is to find a method of identifying an ODE given that it is unlikely that a query of the same ODE will have the equation elements presented in the same sequence and format by all users. Several possibilities of sorting equation elements are explored and an algorithm is developed and implemented which sorts the elements in order to convert the equation into a canonical form. The sorting algorithm explicitly defines this canonical form. By converting semantically identical equations into the same canonical form irrespective of the sequence of term entry, this algorithm is the basis of the development of ODEASY, the 'Ordinary Differential Equation Answer SYstem', which is a database system that accepts an ODE in any format for query. The input ODE is sorted to serve as its own index into the database of analytic solutions. ODEASY offers a sophisticated user interface for accessing the analytic solutions of ODEs of the first, second, and third order and of both the linear and nonlinear variety. ODEASY is a standalone PC system that also offers potential as a supporting tool to applications that provide a numerical approach to solving continuous system simulation.

description: We study mass distributions within and beyond 5 effective radii (Re) in 23 early-type galaxies from the SAGES Legacy Unifying Globulars and Galaxies Survey, using their globular cluster (GC) kinematic data. The data are obtained with Keck/DEep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph, and consist of line-of-sight velocities for ~3500 GCs, measured with a high precision of ~15 km s-1 per GC and extending out to ~13 Re. We obtain the mass distribution in each galaxy using the tracer mass estimator of Watkins et al. and account for kinematic substructures, rotation of the GC systems and galaxy flattening in our mass estimates. The observed scatter between our mass estimates and results from the literature is less than 0.2 dex. The dark matter fraction within 5 Re (fDM) increases from ~0.6 to ~0.8 for low- and highmass galaxies, respectively, with some intermediate-mass galaxies (M* ~ 1011 MŠ™) having low fDM ~ 0.3, which appears at odds with predictions from simple galaxy models. We show that these results are independent of the adopted orbital anisotropy, stellar mass-to-light (M/L) ratio, and the assumed slope of the gravitational potential. However, the low fDM in the ~1011 MŠ™ galaxies agrees with the cosmological simulations of Wu et al. where the pristine dark matter distribution has been modified by baryons during the galaxy assembly process. We find hints that these M* ~ 1011 MŠ™ galaxies with low fDM have very diffuse dark matter haloes, implying that they assembled late. Beyond 5 Re, the M/L gradients are steeper in the more massive galaxies and shallower in both low and intermediate mass galaxies.

description: In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the emergence of next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) has become essential for safeguarding networks against sophisticated threats. This paper explores the integration of swarm intelligence, a collective decision-making paradigm inspired by natural systems, into the design and operation of adaptive next-generation firewalls. Swarm intelligence leverages the collective intelligence of decentralized agents, mimicking the behavior of swarms in nature, to enhance adaptability, responsiveness, and threat detection capabilities.

description: New semiotic perspectives about the role of language in mathematics education indicate that teachers have a fundamental role in communicating and teaching the language that carries mathematical meaning. However, little is known about how educators of young children understand and use the language of mathematics. This study addresses this void. Supported by the understanding that mathematics has its own language (Pimm, 1987), the study focuses on code switching—the mixing of words from two languages—by educators as they shift between the language of instruction and the language of mathematics. A qualitative multiple case study approach utilizing discourse analysis was used to explore three early years teachers’ math talk. Findings indicate that these educators code-switched to the mathematics register when they talked about numbers, number words and counting, to revoice students’ ideas, to explain students’ and teachers’ actions, to provide new math information, and when they chose between two terms that belonged to the math register. Findings also demonstrated that educators preferred to avoid the use of the mathematics’ register and relied instead on what the educators called “familiar language.” Findings further indicated the presence of semantic patterns between perceptual terms and the mathematics register.

Nous présentons une hypothèse selon laquelle le totalitarisme, en tant que régime politique qui rétablit la certitude, se présente comme étant l'assouvissement des angoisses modernes. En utilisant principalement les écrits de Claude Lefort, soutenus de notions d'Estienne de La Béotie sur la servitude volontaire et d'Isaiah Berlin sur les conceptions de la liberté, nous avons développé une interprétation selon laquelle l'institutionnalisation de l'indéterminé dans les démocraties modernes peut mener les individus au désir de l'Un et ainsi mettre en place les éléments nécessaires à la perception du totalitarisme comme étant un régime qui libère de la "dissolution des repères de la certitude" et du vertige démocratique.
Nuremberg and the Waffen-SS: An analysis of the charge of organizational criminality.

Subjects: subject: History, European.

description: This study will investigate each of the four major categories of conclusions arrived at by the Nuremberg Tribunal about the nature and activities of the Waffen-SS military organization and its war-time members, and analyse their accuracy based on the findings of subsequent historical research. It will also attempt to explain the political pressures in 1945-46 which caused the primarily military Waffen-SS to be tried and convicted as a criminal organization, and clarify what the rulings of the Nuremberg Tribunal actually said about members of organizations declared criminal by the latter. For the purposes of this study the Waffen-SS is being defined as consisting of all "armed" SS units except those belonging to the German police or performing largely police functions, and those assigned to the maintenance and guarding of concentration camps. The time-frame covered by this study will extend from September 1, 1939 to May 1945. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background Physical function (PF) is a core patient-reported outcome domain in clinical trials in rheumatic diseases. Frequently used PF measures have ceiling effects, leading to large sample size requirements and low sensitivity to change. In most of these instruments, the response category that indicates the highest PF level is the statement that one is able to perform a given physical activity without any limitations or difficulty. This study investigates whether using an item format with an extended response scale, allowing respondents to state that the performance of an activity is easy or very easy, increases the range of precise measurement of self-reported PF. Methods Three five-item PF short forms were constructed from the Patient- Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) wave 1 data. All forms included the same physical activities but varied in item stem and response scale: format A (“Are you able to …”; “without any difficulty”/“unable to do”); format B (“Does your health now limit you …”; “not at all”/“cannot do”); format C (“How difficult is it for you to …”; “very easy”/“impossible”). Each short-form item was answered by 2217–2835 subjects. We evaluated unidimensionality and estimated a graded response model for the 15 short-form items and remaining 119 items of the PROMIS PF bank to compare item and test information for the short forms along the PF continuum. We then used simulated data for five groups with different PF levels to illustrate differences in scoring precision between the short forms using different item formats. Results Sufficient unidimensionality of all short-form items and the original PF item bank was supported. Compared to formats A and B, format C increased the range of reliable measurement by about 0.5 standard deviations on the positive side of the PF continuum of the sample, provided more item information, and was more useful in distinguishing known groups with above- average functioning. Conclusions Using an item format with an extended response scale is an efficient option to increase the measurement range of self-reported physical function without changing the content of the measure or affecting the latent construct of the instrument.

description: Klasseninterventionen gehören in der Schulsozialarbeit zu den Grundaufgaben und werden in der Regel bei Konflikten, disziplinarischen Problemen oder einem ungünstigen Klassenklima angewandt. In der praktischen Umsetzung stossen Schulsozialarbeitende jedoch auf wiederkehrende Herausforderungen. So kann die Orientierung im Hilfeprozess in einem komplexen und dynamischen System wie einer Schulklasse, anspruchsvoll sein. Zudem sind Methoden und Interventionen für die Arbeit mit Klassen entweder sehr offen (Methodensammlung) oder aber stark strukturiert. Letztere geben zwar klare Orientierung, sind dafür nicht genau auf die Klassensituation angepasst. Die offenen Arbeitsmittel lassen sich sehr flexibel einsetzen. Dafür besteht die Gefahr, sich im Prozess zu verlieren, da kein klarer Interventionsrahmen vorgegeben ist. Diese Schwierigkeiten verdeutlichen die Notwendigkeit einer besseren Orientierung in Bezug auf Methoden und Möglichkeiten, um komplexe Dynamiken im Beratungsprozess zu nutzen. In diesem Kontext bietet das Konzept der Synergetik als Lehre der Selbstorganisation vielversprechende Ansätze für Klasseninterventionen. Das synergetische Prozessmanagement mit den generischen Prinzipien ist in der Psychotherapie bereits etabliert und erforscht und bietet einen metatheoretischen Rahmen zur Auswahl und Begründung therapeutischer Methoden, unabhängig von der therapeutischen Ausrichtung. Diese MAS Thesis geht der Frage nach, wie das synergetische Prozessmanagement mit den generischen Prinzipien als Bezugsrahmen für Klasseninterventionen genutzt werden kann. Dazu bietet sie einen Überblick über die Theorie der Synergetik in der Beratung und Therapie. Die Ebenen des synergetischen Prozessmanagements werden Schritt für Schritt auf den Kontext der Schulsozialarbeit angepasst und durch bereichsspezifisches Wissen, Orientierungs- und Handlungswissen angereichert. Im Zentrum stehen die generischen Prinzipien, welche einen Transfer von der Theorie in die Praxis ermöglichen. Diese werden exemplarisch mit Methoden aus der Praxis verknüpft. Die MAS Thesis zeigt auf, dass eine praxisbezogene Adaption des synergetischen Prozessmanagements auf den Kontext von Klasseninterventionen eine fundierte Grundlage zur Planung und Evaluation von beraterischem Handeln und Interventionen in Schulklassen bietet. Dieser Bezugsrahmen ermöglicht Schulsozialarbeitenden, sich in komplexen Situationen zu orientieren und die Methoden aus ihrem individuellen Repertoire gezielt auszuwählen.

Pyres, pyre debris, and conspicuous secrecy : a built environment approach to Eleusinian cults ca. 725-575 BCE
Creators: name: Mufti, Setenay Ani
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: This thesis investigates the relationship between two cultic sites of memory in Archaic Eleusis, the Telesterion site and the Sacred House site, from a built environment approach. Following Amos Rapoport’s definition of the built environment as “Space,” “Time,” “Communication,” and “Meaning,” I focus on pyres and their leftover, burned debris as distinct features of each site. Previous scholarship has acknowledged the unusual uses of pyre debris at the Telesterion and Sacred House, and that both can be considered ‘sites of memory.’ But despite lying less than 90 m. apart, coexisting for at least a century between ca. 700-600 BCE, and going through two major renovations within the same generation of one another, the relationship between the two sites remains underexplored. Most studies on Archaic Eleusis focus on its relationships with the growing Athens, which is hotly contested. While addressing the potential connections with Athens, this thesis will also consider comparisons to sites beyond Athens and even Attica. After a background chapter information on Eleusis, a chapter each will be dedicated to the Telesterion and the Sacred House. They begin with a site description (“Space”) and an overview of associated activities (“Time”). “Communication” investigates the inclusivity and exclusivity of each site’s built environment based on size, shape, visibility, distance from doorways, and other factors. “Meaning” takes a contextual approach, comparing pyres, debris, and inclusive and exclusive features to other similar or neighboring sites. This thesis finds that not only did the Telesterion and Sacred House use pyres and debris as distinct, locally specific cues within the built environment, but that they had a bi-directional relationship. Initially, the smaller and more insular Sacred House adapted this ritual vocabulary from the neighboring Telesterion. Around a century later, the Sacred House was destroyed and the Telesterion site was expanded, while creating a more obviously private environment to compensate. Such conspicuous secrecy later became a defining feature of the Eleusinian Mysteries, but at the time it was a strategy to negotiate socio-political changes across Attica, and to preserve and legitimize the local community.

description: We introduce redMaGiC, an automated algorithm for selecting luminous red galaxies (LRGs). The algorithm was specifically developed to minimize photometric redshift uncertainties in photometric large-scale structure studies. redMaGiC achieves this by self-training the colour cuts necessary to produce a luminosity-thresholded LRG sample of constant comoving density. We demonstrate that redMaGiC photo-zs are very nearly as accurate as the best machine learning-based methods, yet they require minimal spectroscopic training, do not suffer from extrapolation biases, and are very nearly Gaussian. We apply our algorithm to Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science Verification (SV) data to produce a redMaGiC catalogue sampling the redshift range z ∈ [0.2, 0.8]. Our fiducial sample has a comoving space density of 10-3 (h-1 Mpc)-3, and a median photo-z bias (zspec - zphoto) and scatter (σz/(1 + z)) of 0.005 and 0.017, respectively. The corresponding 5σ outlier fraction is 1.4 per cent. We also test our algorithm with Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 8 and Stripe 82 data, and discuss how spectroscopic training can be used to control photo-z biases at the 0.1 per cent level.

description: Choline has critical roles during periods of rapid growth and development, such as infancy. In human milk, choline is mostly present in water-soluble forms (free choline, phosphocholine, and glycerophosphocholine). It is thought that milk choline concentration is influenced by maternal choline intake, and the richest food sources for choline are of animal origin. Scarce information exists on milk choline from countries differing in animal-source food availability. In this secondary analysis of samples from previous trials, the concentrations of the water-soluble forms of choline were quantified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in mature milk samples collected from lactating women in Canada (n = 301) and in Cambodia (n = 67). None of the water-soluble forms of choline concentrations in milk differed between Canada and Cambodia. For all milk samples (n = 368), free choline, phosphocholine, glycerophosphocholine, and the sum of water-soluble forms of choline concentrations in milk were (mean (95%CI)) 151 (141, 160, 540 (519, 562), 411 (396, 427), and 1102 (1072, 1133) µmol/L, respectively. Theoretically, only 19% of infants would meet the current Adequate Intake (AI) for choline. Our findings suggest that the concentrations in milk of water-soluble forms of choline are similar in Canada and Cambodia, and that the concentration used to set the infant AI might be inaccurate.

description: The reaction networks and the kinetics of the vapor phase catalytic hydro-denitrogenation (HDN) of two model nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, pyridine, quinoline and their mixture, were studied in a bench scale continuous flow, fixed-bed catalytic reactor. The catalyst used in this study was presulfided commercial Ni-Mo/$\rm Al\sb2O\sb3$ (Shell Catalyst 424). The results indicate that the impact of the process variables on the conversion, yield, and selectivity of the HDN reactions is in the following decreasing order: $T>W/F>\bar R.$ The initial aromatic ring saturation reactions of pyridine and quinoline were all reversible at the conditions studied. The removal of nitrogen in pyridine HDN occurred primarily through the pentylamine intermediate, and pentane was the major hydrocarbon produced. The removal of nitrogen in quinoline HDN occurred through the decahydroquinoline intermediate, and propylcyclohexane was the major hydrocarbon produced. The Ni-Mo/$\rm Al\sb2O\sb3$ catalyst exhibited higher selectivity for the reaction pathway of pyridine HDN than that of quinoline HDN. Cracking and hydrocracking took place at temperatures above 648 K. The presence of pyridine in the HDN of a pyridine-quinoline mixture resulted in an increase in the rate of conversion of quinoline and a decrease in that of pyridine. On the other hand, the rate of formation of propylcyclohexane (PCH) had increased while the amount of decahydroquinoline (DHQ) produced had decreased, which indicates that the presence of pyridine had enhanced the transformation of DHQ to PCH. Mixing the two heterocycles had enhanced the conversion and the selectivity of the quinoline HDN at high and low temperature, while the conversion of pyridine had been retarded by the presence of quinoline. The selectivity of the mixture was more than that for either of the components. Several rate equations were considered to fit the kinetic data. A Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction mechanism fitted the data best. Arrhenius plots of the pseudo rate constants for the HDN reactions of pyridine, quinoline, and their mixture gave activation energies (E) of 19.84, 26.52 and 13.17 kcal/g-mol, respectively.

description: The Bialynicki-Birula strata on the Hilbert scheme $H^n(\mathbb{A}^d)$ are smooth in dimension $d=2$. We prove that there is a schematic structure in higher dimensions, the Bialynicki-Birula scheme, which is natural in the sense that it represents a functor. Let $ρ_i:H^n(\mathbb{A}^d)\rightarrow {\rm Sym}^n(\mathbb{A}^1)$ be the Hilbert-Chow morphism of the ${i}^{th}$ coordinate. We prove that a Bialynicki-Birula scheme associated with an action of a torus $T$ is schematically included in the fiber $ρ_i^{-1}(0)$ if the ${i}^{th}$ weight of $T$ is non-positive. We prove that the monic functors parametrizing families of ideals with a prescribed initial ideal are representable.

SH2/SH2-mediated domain-swapped dimerization of GRB2 and its implications for GRB2 function
Creators: name: Sandouk, Aline
Publisher: name: University of Iowa

Subjects: public abstract

description: GRB2 is an adaptor protein required for facilitating cytoplasmic signaling complexes from a wide array of binding partners. GRB2 has been reported to exist in either a monomeric or dimeric state in crystal and solution. GRB2 dimers are formed by the exchange of protein segments between domains, in a phenomenon otherwise known as "domain-swapping". Swapping has been described between SH2 and C-terminal SH3 domains in the full-length structure of GRB2 (SH2/C-SH3 domain-swapped dimer), as well as between α-helixes in isolated GRB2 SH2 domains (SH2/SH2 domain-swapped dimer). Interestingly, SH2/SH2 domain-swapping has not been observed within the full-length protein, nor have the functional influences of this novel oligomeric conformation been explored. We herein generated a model of full-length GRB2 dimer with an SH2/SH2 domain-swapped conformation supported by in-line SEC-MALS-SAXS analyses. This conformation is consistent with the previously reported truncated GRB2 SH2/SH2 domain-swapped dimer but different from the previously reported, full-length SH2/C-terminal SH3 (C-SH3) domain-swapped dimer. Our model is also validated by several novel full-length GRB2 mutants that favor either a monomeric or a dimeric state through mutations within the SH2 domain that abrogate or promote SH2/SH2 domain-swapping. GRB2 knockdown and re-expression of selected monomeric and dimeric mutants in a T cell lymphoma cell line led to notable defects in clustering of the adaptor protein LAT and IL-2 release in response to TCR stimulation. These results mirrored similarly-impaired IL-2 release in GRB2-deficient cells. These studies show that a novel dimeric GRB2 conformation with domainswapping between SH2 domains and monomer/dimer transitions are critical for GRB2 to facilitate early signaling complexes in human T cells. We also investigated a novel role for GRB2 in binding DNA and identified preliminary crystallization conditions for further structural determinations around GRB2 and a potential GRB2-DNA complex.
Chinese characters and word recognition: An analysis and a model.

description: Designations have been used very inconsistently in deciphering the nature of the Chinese writing system, ranging from pictographic, ideographic, logographic, to morphemic, phonosemantic, ideophonographic, and even to logosyllabic, word syllabic, morphosyllabic, etc. Implicit in the inconsistence is a set of hypotheses that Chinese is not a phonetic script, Chinese characters are represented in the right hemisphere and thus are processed in a picture-like fashion, and that recognizing Chinese characters does not involve phonological mediation, and so on. This thesis provides a thorough discussion of the linguistic structure underlying the organization of Chinese characters, and offers a perspective on the linguistic organization and the psycholinguistic processes involved in the recognition of Chinese characters. Misconceptions and fallacies concerning Chinese characters in both linguistic and cognitive areas are challenged and clarified. The thesis begins with a linguistic analysis of Chinese characters, focussing on the formal properties around which processing interpretations revolve. It then discusses issues of visual, hemispheric and cognitive processing of Chinese characters (e.g., how a Chinese character is visually detected? are Chinese characters represented in the right hemisphere? how are they processed in the two hemispheres? under what circumstances are Chinese characters visually accessed? and through what means if a Chinese character is to be phonologically coded? etc.). Lastly, an interactive model of Chinese character recognition is proposed. It is hoped that the groundwork may serve as the basis for proper experimental psycholinguistic research in future.

description: Facial skin ageing is caused by intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms. Intrinsic ageing is highly related to chronological age. Age related skin changes can be measured using clinical and biophysical methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether and how clinical characteristics and biophysical parameters are associated with each other with and without adjustment for chronological age. Twenty-four female subjects of three age groups were enrolled. Clinical assessments (global facial skin ageing, wrinkling, and sagging), and biophysical measurements (roughness, colour, skin elasticity, and barrier function) were conducted at both upper cheeks. Pearson’s correlations and linear regression models adjusted for age were calculated. Most of the measured parameters were correlated with chronological age (e.g., association with wrinkle score, ) and with each other (e.g., residual skin deformation and wrinkle score, ). After statistical adjustment for age, only few associations remained (e.g., mean roughness () and luminance (), , ). Chronological age as surrogate marker for intrinsic ageing has the most important influence on most facial skin ageing signs. Changes in skin elasticity, wrinkling, sagging, and yellowness seem to be caused by additional extrinsic ageing.

description: Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $K$ a connected Lie subgroup. In this paper, we collect an assortment of results on equivariant formality of the isotropy action of $K$ on $G/K$. If the isotropy action of $K$ on $G/K$ is equivariantly formal, then $G/K$ is formal in the sense of rational homotopy theory. This enables us to strengthen a theorem of Shiga--Takahashi to a characterization of equivariant formality in this case. Using a K-theoretic analogue of equivariant formality introduced and shown by the second-named author to be equivalent to equivariant formality in the usual sense, we provide a representation-theoretic characterization for equivariant formality of the isotropy action and give a new, uniform proof of equivariant formality for some classes of homogeneous spaces for which it was previously known.

description: Using a sample of 98 galaxy clusters recently imaged in the near-infrared with the European Southern Observatory (ESO) New Technology Telescope, WIYN telescope and William Herschel Telescope, supplemented with 33 clusters from the ESO archive, we measure how the stellar mass of the most massive galaxies in the universe, namely brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), increases with time. Most of the BCGs in this new sample lie in the redshift range 0.2 < z < 0.6, which has been noted in recent works to mark an epoch over which the growth in the stellar mass of BCGs stalls. From this sample of 132 clusters, we create a subsample of 102 systems that includes only those clusters that have estimates of the cluster mass. We combine the BCGs in this subsample with BCGs from the literature, and find that the growth in stellar mass of BCGs from 10 billion years ago to the present epoch is broadly consistent with recent semi-analytic and semi-empirical models. As in other recent studies, tentative evidence indicates that the stellar mass growth rate of BCGs may be slowing in the past 3.5 billion years. Further work in collecting larger samples, and in better comparing observations with theory using mock images, is required if a more detailed comparison between the models and the data is to be made.
