description: Multicast saves processing resources at the sender, network bandwidth and enables data to be transferred more
quickly. IPv6 adds a unique and much larger than IP address space, provides security, more efficient routing,
support for mobile and an increased number of multicast addresses. This paper describes a set of tests
accomplished at the IPv6 production network inside the Information Technology Development Institute (ITDI) of
the Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) and the deployment of a test-bed to the purpose to simulate the flow
of multicast packets along the backbone from the upstream provider GEANT2. The link of LITNET to the world-
wide IPv6 multicast test network M6Bone is eventually reported.

description: Cellular uplink analysis has typically been undertaken by either a simple approach that lumps all interference into a single deterministic or random parameter in a Wyner-type model, or via complex system level simulations that often do not provide insight into why various trends are observed. This paper proposes a novel middle way using point processes that is both accurate and also results in easy-to-evaluate integral expressions based on the Laplace transform of the interference. We assume mobiles and base stations are randomly placed in the network with each mobile pairing up to its closest base station. Compared to related recent work on downlink analysis, the proposed uplink model differs in two key features. First, dependence is considered between user and base station point processes to make sure each base station serves a single mobile in the given resource block. Second, per-mobile power control is included, which further couples the transmission of mobiles due to location-dependent channel inversion. Nevertheless, we succeed in deriving the coverage (equivalently outage) probability of a typical link in the network. This model can be used to address a wide variety of system design questions in the future. In this paper we focus on the implications for power control and see that partial channel inversion should be used at low signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), while full power transmission is optimal at higher SINR.

description: During the First World War, the neutral Dutch were involved in humanitarian endeavours both inside the Netherlands and abroad. The most significant was their care of refugees who crossed into the country from Belgium and France from August 1914 on and again during the last months of the war. Other humanitarian activities included the exchange of wounded prisoners of war and the care of impoverished children after the war. Many of these activities were undertaken as emergency measures, others involved key instruments of the state (including the Dutch armed forces and local civic authorities). Private ambulance units were key agents of humanitarianism outside the Netherlands. These ambulances are often hailed as a hallmark of neutrality, but could just as well be framed as endangering neutrality, since they usually made no secret of their sympathies. For its part, the Dutch Red Cross (DRC) took a while to assist these humanitarian efforts; its main concern was assisting the Dutch army in case the Netherlands entered the war. It assisted in the exchange of wounded POWs and the aid of refugees in 1918, although not without the request of the army.

description: It is firmly established that the stellar mass distribution is smooth, covering the range 0.1-100 Msun. It is to be expected that the masses of the ensuing compact remnants correlate with the masses of their progenitor stars, and thus it is generally thought that the remnant masses should be smoothly distributed from the lightest white dwarfs to the heaviest black holes. However, this intuitive prediction is not borne out by observed data. In the rapidly growing population of remnants with observationally determined masses, a striking mass gap has emerged at the boundary between neutron stars and black holes. The heaviest neutron stars reach a maximum of two solar masses, while the lightest black holes are at least five solar masses. Over a decade after the discovery, the gap has become a significant challenge to our understanding of compact object formation. We offer new insights into the physical processes that bifurcate the formation of remnants into lower mass neutron stars and heavier black holes. Combining the results of stellar modeling with hydrodynamic simulations of supernovae, we both explain the existence of the gap, and also put stringent constraints on the inner workings of the supernova explosion mechanism. In particular, we show that core-collapse supernovae are launched within 100-200 milliseconds of the initial stellar collapse, implying that the explosions are driven by instabilities with a rapid (10-20 ms) growth time. Alternatively, if future observations fill in the gap, this will be an indication that these instabilities develop over a longer (>200 milliseconds) timescale.

description: Das pflanzenpathogene Bakterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv) ist der Erreger der bakteriellen Fleckenkrankheit auf Paprika und Tomate. Essentiell für die Pathogenität von Xcv ist das Typ-III-Sekretionssystem, mittels dessen über 20 Effektorproteine in die Pflanzenzelle transloziert werden. In suszeptiblen Pflanzen leisten die Effektorproteine vermutlich einen Beitrag zur Virulenz des Bakteriums, in resistenten Pflanzen hingegen werden einzelne Effektoren vom pflanzlichen Immunsystem erkannt, woraufhin eine Resistenzantwort, wie die hypersensitive Reaktion (HR) initiiert wird. Die HR ist ein lokaler Zelltod an den Infektionsstellen. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Arbeit stand die molekulare und funktionelle Charakterisierung der drei Effektorproteine AvrBs1, AvrBsT und XopJ aus Xcv. AvrBs1 und AvrBsT induzieren die HR in resistenten Paprikapflanzen, wohingegen XopJ nicht erkannt wird. In planta-Expressionsstudien zeigten jedoch, dass XopJ die HR in einigen Nicht-Wirtspflanzen auslöst. AvrBsT und XopJ sind zwei mögliche Cysteinproteasen mit Ähnlichkeit zum Typ-III-Effektorprotein YopJ aus humanpathogenen Yersinia. XopJ besitzt ein mögliches N-Myristoylierungsmotiv, welches in AvrBsT fehlt. Das N-Myristoylierungsmotiv erlaubt die Acylierung und somit die Lokalisierung von XopJ an der Plasmamembran, wie mittels mikroskopischer Methoden mit einem Fusionsprotein aus XopJ und dem grün-fluoreszierenden Protein (GFP) gezeigt wurde. AvrBsT besitzt Proteaseaktivität und supprimiert spezifisch die AvrBs1-induzierte HR in resistenten Paprikapflanzen. Da die Suppression innerhalb der Pflanzenzelle stattfindet, wurden mittels Hefe-Di-Hybrid-Sichtungen pflanzliche Interaktionspartner von AvrBs1 und AvrBsT isoliert. Verschiedene Interaktoren von AvrBs1 und AvrBsT wurden mittels Virus-induziertem Gen-„Silencing“ auf ihre Relevanz in Bezug auf die AvrBs1-HR getestet. Dadurch konnte der AvrBsT-Interaktor SnRK1 als notwendige Komponente der AvrBs1-induzierten HR identifiziert werden, andere Resistenzreaktionen waren hingegen nicht betroffen. SnRK1 ist eine Serin/Threonin-Kinase, die Ähnlichkeit zu SNF1, einem Regulator des Kohlenhydratstoffwechsels, zeigt. Mit Proteinanalysen und quantitativer RT-PCR konnte kein Einfluss von AvrBsT auf das SnRK1-Transkript oder das SnRK1-Protein nachgewiesen werden. Die erworbenen Daten deuten darauf hin, dass ein Effektor einer konservierten Familie die Abwehrreaktion in Paprika spezifisch unterdrücken kann, indem er mit SnRK1 interagiert.

description: This contribution aims to focus on the change in interpersonal relations provoked by Internet-led changes in distant communication on one hand, and the availability of electronic/digital information for research and clinical practice on the other. The statements ("axioms") of the important book "Pragmatics of Human Communication "by P.Watzlawick and his colleagues offer a very useful insight into the understanding of our behaviour. In the light of this theory some aspects of our day to day interpersonal relations are considered, both in term of how we relate to the medical library users, and also considering the interpersonal communication of library staff. In particular in this paper the following aspects are analysed: a. change in the workplace: the physical and the virtual library b. change in the relations with the users c. change in the relations with the staff in the library In conclusion some suggestions are given to improve communication and the visibility of our professional work.

description: β-1,3-Glucan ist das bedeutendste Polysaccharid der Zellwand von Pilzen. Die Funktion des β-1,3-Glucan-Synthase-Gens GLS1 des Mais-Pathogens Colletotrichum graminicola wurde mittels RNA-Interferenz (RNAi), GLS1-Überexpression, Live-Cell-Imaging und Anilinblau-Fluorochrom-Färbung charakterisiert. Hohe β-1,3-Glucan-Gehalte wurden in den Zellwänden von Appressorien und nekrotrophen Hyphen nachgewiesen. Unerwarteter Weise wurden sowohl die GLS1-Expression als auch die β-1,3-Glucan-Gehalte während der biotrophen Entwicklung drastisch reduziert. In Appressorien von RNAi-Stämmen, führte die reduzierte Zellwandstabilität zur Explosion der Appressorien. Während biotrophe Hyphen in den RNAi-Stämmen nicht betroffen waren, zeigten nekrotrophe Hyphen starke morphologische Veränderungen. Die Überexpression von GLS1 führte zur verstärkten Induktion von Abwehrreaktionen. Während die β-1,3-Glucan-Synthese für die Festigkeit der Zellwand in Appressorien und nekrotrophen Hyphen erforderlich ist, stellt die reduzierte Expression während der Biotrophie eine neue Strategie dar, um der β-Glucan-ausgelösten Immunität zu entgehen.
description: β-1,3-glucan is the most prominent polysaccharide of the fungal cell wall. The β-1,3-glucan synthase gene GLS1 of the maize pathogen Colletotrichum graminicola was characterized, employing RNA interference (RNAi), GLS1 overexpression, live-cell imaging and aniline blue fluorochrome-staining. Massive β-1,3-glucan contents were detected in cell walls of appressoria and necrotrophic hyphae. Unexpectedly, GLS1 expression and β-1,3-glucan contents were drastically reduced during biotrophic development. In appressoria of RNAi strains, down-regulation of β-1,3-glucan synthesis increased cell wall rigidity, and appressoria exploded. While the shape of biotrophic hyphae was unaffected in RNAi strains, necrotrophic hyphae showed severe distortions. Forced expression of GLS1 led to exposure of β-1,3-glucan on biotrophic hyphae and massive induction of defense responses. Thus, while β-1,3-glucan synthesis is required for cell wall rigidity in appressoria and necrotrophic hyphae, its rigorous down-regulation during biotrophic development represents a novel strategy to evade β-glucan-triggered immunity.

Quantifying non-classicality with local unitary operations

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a measure of non-classical correlations in bipartite quantum states based on local unitary operations. We prove the measure is non-zero if and only if the quantum discord is non-zero; this is achieved via a new characterization of zero discord states in terms of the state's correlation matrix. Moreover, our scheme can be extended to ensure the same relationship holds even with a generalized version of quantum discord in which higher-rank projective measurements are allowed. We next derive a closed form expression for our scheme in the cases of Werner states and (2 x N)-dimensional systems. The latter reveals that for (2 x N)-dimensional states, our measure reduces to the geometric discord [Dakic et al., PRL 105, 2010]. A connection to the CHSH inequality is shown. We close with a characterization of all maximally non-classical, yet separable, (2 x N)-dimensional states of rank at most two (with respect to our measure).

description: All belligerent colonial powers enlisted Africans for fighting, and as carriers and war workers in African, European and Middle Eastern theatres of war. Despite the fact that universal compulsory military service did not apply to African subjects, a considerable share of the more than two million men recruited did not enlist voluntarily. Recruitment thus faced countless forms of opposition, including bribery, malingering and self-mutilation as well as hiding or flight to other territories. Many recruits deserted as soon as the opportunity arose. Last but not least, a considerable number of the many armed revolts in wartime Africa against colonial rule can be linked to forced recruitment.

Weeding through the WWOOF network : the social economy of volunteer tourism on organic farms in the Okanagan Valley
Creators: name: Bunn, Robyn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This thesis is a critical ethnographic examination of the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) network in the Okanagan Valley. My research questions explore the motivations for farmer hosts and volunteer tourists to participate in WWOOF, and the outcomes of their participation. Based on my interpretations of the responses of the hosts and volunteers that I spoke with, as well as my own observations while visiting farms, I found that the contributions of WWOOFers on the farms in the Okanagan went beyond their helping hands or the learning opportunities implied by the arrangements being framed as work-learn farm visits. For hosts, labour needs were marginal compared to many other perceived benefits of hosting, with greater emphasis being placed on the benefits of having WWOOFers for the cultural exchanges, the opportunity to share their knowledge, and a desire to give back if they had WWOOFed themselves. Similarly, volunteers chose to WWOOF for various kinds of experiences the network offered outside of the aspect of learning about organic farming, primarily the idea that they were getting to know Canadians in a different way then other tourist experiences, as well as the benefits of immersion for learning English. Building on these findings, with a focus on both the ideological and practical elements of WWOOF, what I saw emerging were social economies that operated at the level of the farm, the host farm’s community, and at the broader level of the WWOOF network transnationally. The expansive organic consumer-base and infrastructural support already in place, such as farmers' markets, regulatory frameworks for production standards, and product availability in mainstream grocery stores have served the growing demand for organic foods. These structures, while criticized as diluting organic agriculture, could be utilized for implementing agendas that address issues of inequity in the food system. Considering these factors, I conclude my thesis with this proposal : that WWOOF, and the organic movement, have the potential to be powerful forces for greater social change and could be utilized to advance issues of social justice as they relate to food.

Succumbing to the siren song : rape myths in sexual offender sentencing in B.C.
Creators: name: Welch, Elizabeth Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Sexual violence is characterized by inequality: it is a gendered crime whose perpetrators frequently escape criminal responsibility. The inequality of sexual violence has been masked and perpetuated by rape myths about ‘real’ sexual assault embedded in the law. Feminist reformers have struggled to have the law eliminate rape myths and recognize sexual offences as gendered violence; this struggle continues. In this thesis the author explores the judicial expression of rape myths in a sample of recent B.C. sentencing decisions. She analyzes two aspects of the cases, doctrine and discourse, to ascertain whether judges reproduced discriminatory beliefs about sexual violence in their interpretations of law or their narratives. The thesis found that courts expressed rape myths in some recent sentencing cases. Rape myths appeared in constructions of violence that turned on penetration, the notion of the dangerous stranger, and definitions of violence that excluded coercion, manipulation, and exploitation. They also appeared when judges used terms that were more appropriate for narratives of sex or romance than sexual violence. Rape myths underpinned courts’ use of sexual history evidence, findings that survivors ‘consented’ to offences, and failures to seriously consider harm to ‘risky’ survivors. They also propped up the doctrines that ‘good’ offenders and intoxicated offenders are less blameworthy or dangerous, and informed language that obscured offender agency and responsibility, including the frequent use of terms that expressed doubt about legal findings of guilt. The author speculates the enduring influence of rape myths appeared not because of judges’ intention to discriminate but the neoliberal approach that guides legal thinking. Informed by notions of rationality and risk, courts ignored the inequality of sexual violence, particularly gender inequality. With inequality and vulnerability erased from consideration, the line between consensual sex and violence blurred, most conspicuously in sexual offences against adolescents and women perceived as taking undue risks. Therefore, this thesis suggests that the law should be cognizant of the unequal and gendered nature of sexual violence by situating it in its social context, an approach that will ultimately help to promote equality within the law.

description: Facendo seguito ad un precedente lavoro (http://amsacta.unibo.it/3086/ ), si trovano, attraverso l'esame di un dimenticato dipinto, elementi per confermare le argomentazioni già portate e per conoscere un fatto nuovo, che ben si inserisce e si intreccia nel periodo considerato: come Violante da Montefeltro, sposa di Domenico (Novello) Malatesti, possa aver proposto al Papa Parentucelli di lasciare il governo del potere temporale nelle mani dei Malatesti e, ricolmo di considerazione (e d'oro), pensare solo alla parte più spirituale e ai suoi diletti studi letterari .
Sembra lecito affermare che l'occasione derivi dalla proposta di Leon battista Alberti, che Violante fa sua, di poter restaurare degnamente la basilica di San Pietro in Roma, tempio di riferimento della Cristianità, qui visibile nel progetto originario, allora minata da un cedimento strutturale che la fa inclinare.
E' ovvio il parallelo, del cedimento della basilica e la deriva del potere temporale stesso. 
L'Autore del dipinto non perde l'occasione per affermare il ruolo di Cristo e di San Pietro nella più alta visione Neoplatonica di Dio.
Dopo aver brevemente introdotto le affermazioni che l'Alberti riporta nel De re aedificatoria, si commenta il dipinto e ciò che vuole palesare.
In appendice un breve commento su di un altro dipinto che si lega alla vita di Violante ed un elenco delle date più significative del periodo storico considerato.

G-invariant Persistent Homology

description: Classical persistent homology is a powerful mathematical tool for shape comparison. Unfortunately, it is not tailored to study the action of transformation groups that are different from the group Homeo(X) of all self-homeomorphisms of a topological space X. This fact greatly restricts its use in applications. In order to obtain better lower bounds for the natural pseudo-distance d_G associated with a subgroup G of the group Homeo(X), we need to adapt persistent homology and consider G-invariant persistent homology. Roughly speaking, the main idea consists in defining persistent homology by means of a set of chains that is invariant under the action of G. In this paper we formalize this idea, and prove the stability of the persistent Betti number functions in G-invariant persistent homology with respect to the natural pseudo-distance d_G. We also show how G-invariant persistent homology could be used in applications concerning shape comparison, when the invariance group is a proper subgroup of the group of all self-homeomorphisms of a topological space.

description: Partendo non tanto da una riflessione traduttologica, bensì da una prospettiva drammaturgica, nonché da una pratica stilistica della traduzione di una pièce teatrale, il contributo si propone di confrontare alcuni risultati traduttivi di due versioni italiane di un’opera ‘canonica’ quale il Tartuffe di Molière (la traduzione di Cesare Garboli e quella di Vittorio Sermonti: Molière 1976 e Molière 1979). 
Nella prima parte del lavoro, i riferimenti teorici citati (Pavis 1990; Rynagert 1991; Ubersfeld 1996; Cascetta, Peja 2003) insistono nel porre in primo piano non tanto il testo drammatico quanto quei ‘nodi di teatralità’ che consentono di proiettare il testo teatrale verso il performing text. Le questioni traduttive relative a Tartuffe vengono dunque messe in relazione con quella rappresentazione ‘virtuale’ che il testo teatrale evoca costantemente attraverso i suoi ‘buchi’, dai nomi dei personaggi al ritmo della punteggiatura, dagli effetti polifonici del singolo énoncé all’iscrizione del dinamismo corporale nelle sequenze ritmiche. Vengono in particolare segnalate alcune strategie per rendere in un’altra lingua il legame tra parola e gesto (il verbo-corps, secondo Pavis 1990). Nella seconda parte si confrontano le due traduzioni di Garboli e Sermonti (una quindicina di versi tratti dall’Atto I). Vengono dettagliatamente analizzate nonché discusse quelle soluzioni che consentono l’iscrizione dell’oralità nel testo tradotto: le scelte relative al ritmo, l’uso delle incise, l’attenzione ai tratti fonetico-prosodici di una parola destinata a ‘incarnarsi’ sul palcoscenico.
Il contributo vuole anche far riflettere sui rapporti tra l’oralità e la ‘voce’ di ogni personaggio, rilevando come la resa in italiano delle metafore che costituiscono l’idioletto di un personaggio possa essere fonte di definizione non solo del suo bagaglio lessicale ma anche della sua personalità.
In conclusione viene proposta una possibile analogia tra testo teatrale e oralità, basata sull’instabilità e sulla labilità della parola pronunciata a teatro: istanze che il traduttore non dovrebbe trascurare.

description: Predistorion linearizcrs constitute an increasingly important building block of most satellite communication payloads. They enable an improved output amplifier linearity, thereby reducing power consumption requirements and increasing the transmit output power, while maintaining the required intermodulation performance. A novel MMIC lineariser chip [1] has been used in conjunction with a MMIC analogue phase shifter to implement a complete predistortion linearizer. The linearizer chip has been designed at ESTEC, and manufactured by Thomson foundry (F) (today UMS) using their MMIC process LN05. The analogue phase shifter chip has also been designed at ESTEC and manufactured by Daimler Benz (D) (today UMS) using their process E05. The capabilities of this linearizcr have been demonstrated by integrating it with a Ku-band Travelling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA).

description: In this paper a GaAs MMIC phase shifter, based on a lumped quadrature hybrid, is described. The MMIC makes use of two interleaved spiral inductors in a transformer-like configuration to implement the quadrature coupler function. Two L-C resonant networks connected as load, provide the desired analog phase swing, under electronic control thus resulting a phase-shift capability of nearly 180°.

description: This paper has two main goals. First, we give a complete, explicit, and computable solution to the problem of when two simple closed curves on a surface are equivalent under the Johnson kernel. Second, we show that the Johnson filtration and the Johnson homomorphism can be defined intrinsically on subsurfaces and prove that both are functorial under inclusions of subsurfaces. The key point is that the latter reduces the former to a finite computation, which can be carried out by hand. In particular this solves the conjugacy problem in the Johnson kernel for separating twists. Using a theorem of Putman, we compute the first Betti number of the Torelli group of a subsurface.

description: The present paper describes a simple circuital solution for a slope compensation function to be used in an amplification chain when it is necessary to recover for both fast ripple and slope variation occurred within the whole bandwidth. The circuit has been studied and developed mainly for Ku-Band applications and has been implemented in MMIC form using a standard Low Noise MESFET process. The performed tests have shown the effectiveness and the versatility of the MMIC which has been successfully inserted in several satellite on board equipment.

description: We investigate higher spin theories of gravity in three dimensions based on the gauge group SL(N,R)*SL(N,R). In these theories the usual diffeomorphism symmetry is enhanced to include higher spin gauge transformations under which traditional geometric notions of curvature and causality are no longer invariant. This implies, for example, that apparently singular geometries can be rendered smooth by a gauge transformation, much like the resolution of orbifold singularities in string theory. The classical solutions, including the recently constructed higher spin black hole, are characterized by their holonomies around the non-contractible cycles of space-time. The black hole solutions are shown to be gauge equivalent to a BTZ black hole which is charged under a set of U(1) Chern-Simons fields. Nevertheless, depending on the choice of embedding of the gravitational gauge group, the space-time geometry may be non-trivial. We study in detail the N=3 example, where this observation allows us to find a gauge where the black hole geometry takes a simple form and the thermodynamic properties can be studied.

description: This paper describes a low-power high speed flip-flop in Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) called PCLF for Pseudo-Complementary Logic Flip-Flop. The PCLF offers attractive power saving without performance degradation and is fully compatible with existing FET logic families. It can be efficiently used in the VLSI ICs, as well as in multigabit/second SSI or MSI ICs. As an example a D-flip-flop, T-flip-flop and a 1/8 divider have been designed and fabricated, verifying the expected low power dissipation.

description: Ramsey's theorem, in the version of Erdős and Szekeres, states that every 2-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on {1, 2,...,n} contains a monochromatic clique of order 1/2\log n. In this paper, we consider two well-studied extensions of Ramsey's theorem. Improving a result of Rödl, we show that there is a constant $c>0$ such that every 2-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on \{2, 3,...,n\} contains a monochromatic clique S for which the sum of 1/\log i over all vertices i \in S is at least c\log\log\log n. This is tight up to the constant factor c and answers a question of Erdős from 1981. Motivated by a problem in model theory, Väänänen asked whether for every k there is an n such that the following holds. For every permutation πof 1,...,k-1, every 2-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on {1, 2, ..., n} contains a monochromatic clique a_1a_{π(2)+1}-a_{π(2)}>...>a_{π(k-1)+1}-a_{π(k-1)}. That is, not only do we want a monochromatic clique, but the differences between consecutive vertices must satisfy a prescribed order. Alon and, independently, Erdős, Hajnal and Pach answered this question affirmatively. Alon further conjectured that the true growth rate should be exponential in k. We make progress towards this conjecture, obtaining an upper bound on n which is exponential in a power of k. This improves a result of Shelah, who showed that n is at most double-exponential in k.

description: This paper presents an experimental lkb GaAs MESFET static RAM using a novel high speed memory cell. The array overcomes the subtbreshold leakage currents drawbacks inherent to conventional cell using a particular word/bit lines biasing. Power consumption is reduced by powering down the parts of the array not selected. An address access time of 1ns with 20 mA/cell power consumption has been obtained. The RAM can be operated at the single supply voltage of IV up to 2V.

description: High speed decoding and decision ICs for 4-level ETDM fibre optic transmission systems are presented. The circuits were fabricated in a InP/lnGaAs HBT technology with Ft = 53 GHz and Fmax = 40 GHz. A 4-level decoding circuit using a mux core architecture and a binary decision circuit were designed and measured. The potential performance of the decoder were experimentally assessed up to 16 GBaud (32 Gbit/s) (input data). The decision circuit is a D MSFF which was tested up to 22 Gbit/s.

description: We investigate $f(R,T)$ gravity models ($R$ is the curvature scalar and $T$ is the trace of the stress-energy tensor of ordinary matter) that are able to reproduce the four known types of future finite-time singularities. We choose a suitable expression for the Hubble parameter in order to realise the cosmic acceleration and we introduce two parameters, $α$ and $H_s$, which characterise each type of singularity. We address conformal anomaly and we observe that it cannot remove the sudden singularity or the type IV one, but, for some values of $α$, the big rip and the type III singularity may be avoided. We also find that, even without taking into account conformal anomaly, the big rip and the type III singularity may be removed thanks to the presence of the $T$ contribution of the $f(R,T)$ theory.

Tax information exchange and the erosion of taxpayer privacy rights
Creators: name: Hawkshaw, Robert Stephen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The exchange of taxpayer information between revenue agencies has been increasing as a response to globalization and technological advances, which have allowed taxpayers more opportunities for tax avoidance and tax evasion. Tax information exchange allows revenue agencies to take advantage of these same advances. The legal framework through which the exchange of taxpayer information is implemented consists of modifications to existing tax conventions and special Tax Information Exchange Agreements. These tax treaties modify and override domestic privacy laws. The Canadian income tax system operates within a regime of constitutional privacy protections and statutory privacy protections. A balance has been struck between the right to privacy and the State interest in obtaining personal information in order to administer and enforce the tax system. This thesis examines the information gathering powers of the Canada Revenue Agency and the limits on these powers. These powers are broad because taxpayers generally have a low expectation of privacy in their tax information. This thesis argues that the balance struck domestically is predicated on meaningful procedural protections and remedies and on taxpayer information not being shared with third parties. This thesis then examines the tax treaty information exchange provisions and their interaction with Canadian law. This thesis argues that these provisions override domestic law without providing any meaningful procedural protections. This thesis concludes that information exchange in its current state is incompatible with the balance struck by the Courts between taxpayer privacy and the revenue authorities’ need for information.
