The emergence of the Chinese zheng : traditional context, contemporary evolution, and cultural identity
Creators: name: Han, Mei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The zheng is a Chinese long zither that was developed from a five-string folk instrument over two thousand years ago to become a concert instrument with approximately twenty million practitioners around the world today. The opposing forces of metamorphosis and continuation have dominated the evolution of the instrument with the most rapid and drastic changes to its conception and practice witnessed in the twentieth century. This dissertation is a musical and cultural study of the zheng’s living tradition from traditional practice to contemporary evolution, with an emphasis on the transformation of its musical and cultural identity. The studied areas include composition, dissemination, performance technique, and aesthetics. These discussions reveal an underlying ancient Chinese aesthetic principle drawn from both Confucian and Taoist philosophies that applies to all developmental periods of the zheng––the relationship between sheng (generated sound) and yin (cultivated sound). In addition to being a researcher, the author combines her four-decade long experience of performing and studying the instrument with the voices of four generations of zheng performers and those of Chinese and non-Chinese zheng composers and scholars to reveal the core musical and aesthetic elements of traditional zheng practice. Crucially this includes analyzing contemporary changes in Mainland China and North America since the twentieth century in the context of political influences, Westernization, and globalization. The author argues that the fundamental values of traditional zheng practice are still pertinent to the contemporary development of the instrument.

description: We refine Cohen and Lustig's description of centralisers of Dehn twists of free groups. We show that the centraliser of a Dehn twist of a free group has a subgroup of finite index that has a finite classifying space. We describe an algorithm to find a presentation of the centraliser. We use this algorithm to give an explicit presentation for the centraliser of a Nielsen automorphism in Aut(F_n). This gives restrictions to actions of Aut(F_n) on CAT(0) spaces.

description: The optimal capital structure model with endogenous bankruptcy was first studied by Leland (1994) and Leland and Toft (1996), and was later extended to the spectrally negative Levy model by Hilberink and Rogers (2002) and Kyprianou and Surya (2007). This paper incorporates the scale effects by allowing the values of bankruptcy costs and tax benefits to be dependent on the firm's asset value. By using the fluctuation identities for the spectrally negative Levy process, we obtain a candidate bankruptcy level as well as a sufficient condition for optimality. The optimality holds in particular when, monotonically in the asset value, the value of tax benefits is increasing, the loss amount at bankruptcy is increasing, and its proportion relative to the asset value is decreasing. The solution admits a semi-explicit form in terms of the scale function. A series of numerical studies are given to analyze the impacts of scale effects on the default strategy and the optimal capital structure.

description: We investigate a network of coupled superconducting transmission line resonators, each of them made nonlinear with a capacitively shunted Josephson junction coupling to the odd flux modes of the resonator. The resulting eigenmode spectrum shows anticrossings between the plasma mode of the shunted junction and the odd resonator modes. Notably, we find that the combined device can inherit the complete nonlinearity of the junction, allowing for a description as a harmonic oscillator with a Kerr nonlinearity. Using a dc SQUID instead of a single junction, the nonlinearity can be tuned between 10 kHz and 4 MHz while maintaining resonance frequencies of a few gigahertz for realistic device parameters. An array of such nonlinear resonators can be considered a scalable superconducting quantum simulator for a Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian. The device would be capable of accessing the strongly correlated regime and be particularly well suited for investigating quantum many-body dynamics of interacting particles under the influence of drive and dissipation.

Algorithm for nonlinear process monitoring and controller performance recovery with an application to semi-autogenous grinding
Creators: name: McClure, Kenneth Scott
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Chemical and mineral processing industries commonly commission linear feedback controllers to control unit processes over a narrow and linear operating region where the economy of the process is maximized. However, most of these processes are nonlinear outside of this narrow operating region. In the event of a large unmeasured disturbance, a process can shift away from nominal and into an abnormal operating region. Owing to the nonlinearity of these processes, a linear controller tuned for the nominal operating region will perform poorly and possibly lead to an unstable closed-loop system in an abnormal operating region. Moreover, it is often difficult to determine whether a process has shifted to an abnormal operating region if none of the constraints on the measured process outputs are violated. In these events, it is the operator who must detect and recover the process, and this manual response results in a sub-optimal recovery. This thesis develops and demonstrates a control strategy that monitors several process variables simultaneously and provides an estimate of the process shift to a nonlinear abnormal operating region where a linear recovery controller is implemented to recover the process back to nominal. To monitor the process, principal component analysis is proposed for process shifts that can be detected by linear variable transformations. Alternatively, for nonlinear or high-dimensional processes, locally linear embedding is proposed. Once a process shift to an abnormal operating region is detected, the control strategy uses the estimate of the process shift in a recovery controller to recover the process. In the event the linear recovery controller is unable to recover the process, an expert system overrides the recovery controller to return the process to a recoverable region. A case study on a semi-autogenous grinding mill at a processing facility in British Columbia presents the successful application of the control strategy to detect and recover the mill from overloading. Portions of this control strategy have been implemented at this facility, and it provides the operators with a real-time estimate on the magnitude of the mill overload.

title: Clinical Effectiveness of Hydrogen Peroxide-Sodium Bicarbonate Paste on Human Periodontitis Treated With and Without Scaling and Root Planing
Creators: name: Lyne, Sylvia M.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1985

description: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the main anp interaction effects of two oral hygiene regimens and periodontal instrumentation on the periodontal health status of subjects between the ages of 18 and 70 over a two-month period. The sample consisted of 16 subjects with moderate periodontitis. A split-mouth design was used; subjects brushed with fluoridated toothpaste on one side of the mouth and brushed with a hydrogen peroxide-sodium bicarbonate paste on the contralateral side. For each treatment, scaling and root planing were randomly assigned to one arch. At two-week intervals, the periodontal health status was measured using the Gingival Index and periodontal probe measurements. A two~way analysis of variance was used with alpha set at 0.05. Results showed that quadrants treated with scaling and root planing had more significant reductions in both Gingival Index scores and pocket depths than quadrants treated without scaling and root planing. No statistically significant differences, however, were noted between brushing with fluoridated toothpaste and brushing with a hydrogen peroxide-sodium bicarbonate paste.

description: We study Neumann functions for divergence form, second order elliptic systems with bounded measurable coefficients in a bounded Lipschitz domain or a Lipschitz graph domain. We establish existence, uniqueness, and various estimates for the Neumann functions under the assumption that weak solutions of the system enjoy interior Hölder continuity. Also, we establish global pointwise bounds for the Neumann functions under the assumption that weak solutions of the system satisfy a certain natural local boundedness estimate. Moreover, we prove that such a local boundedness estimate for weak solutions of the system is in fact equivalent to the global pointwise bound for the Neumann function. We present a unified approach valid for both the scalar and the vectorial cases.

We do that by performing lattice simulations at imaginary theta, then exploiting analytic continuation. We also give an estimate of such dependence in the limit of a large number of colors N, and compare it with our numerical results.

"It's how to make a baby" : educators and students re/constituting heterosexuality through sexual health
Creators: name: Slovin, Larissa J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Sexual health education, in explicitly linking kids with sexual knowledge, threatens pervasive discourses on the non-sexual child. In order to mediate this conflict, many sexual health programs privilege a scientific approach, attempting to desexualize sexual health by emphasizing the ‘facts’ of puberty and (hetero)sexual reproduction. In this project, I draw on observations from three sexual health workshops in a grade 5/6/7 elementary classroom in Vancouver, BC and two rounds of interviews with six boys who attended those workshops. I examine the story the educators constructed in order to teach sexual health, highlighting their reliance on both a ‘gay is okay’ and a scientific discourse. I argue that by locating their discussion of homosexuality within a values framework and so actively striving to depict it as acceptable, the educators constituted homosexuality as a social identity that requires acceptance. Likewise, by subsuming references to heterosexuality within their lesson on (hetero)sexual reproduction, the educators framed it as an always already accepted scientific fact. I then employ a poststructuralist discourse analysis to explore the ways the boys both took up and deviated from these discourses when constructing their own stories of sexual health.
Search for dark matter and large extra dimensions in monojet events in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

description: A search has been made for events containing an energetic jet and an imbalance in transverse momentum using a data sample of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. This signature is common to both dark matter and extra dimensions models. The data were collected by the CMS detector at the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 inverse femtobarns. The number of observed events is consistent with the standard model expectation. Constraints on the dark matter-nucleon scattering cross sections are determined for both spin-independent and spin-dependent interaction models. For the spin-independent model, these are the most constraining limits for a dark matter particle with mass below 3.5 GeV, a region unexplored by direct detection experiments. For the spin-dependent model, these are the most stringent constraints over the 0.1-200 GeV mass range. The constraints on the Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali model parameter MD determined as a function of the number of extra dimensions are also an improvement over the previous results.

description: The thermodynamic parameters of the superconducting state in Calcium under the pressure at 200 GPa have been determined. The numerical analysis by using the Eliashberg equations in the mixed representation has been conducted. It has been stated, that the critical temperature ($T_{C}$) decreases from 36.15 K to 20.79 K dependently on the assumed value of the Coulomb pseudopotential ($μ^{*}\in<0.1,0.3>$). Next, the order parameter near the temperature of zero Kelvin ($Δ(0)$) has been obtained. It has been proven, that the dimensionless ratio $2Δ(0)/k_{B}T_{C}$ decreases from 4.25 to 3.90 together with the growth of $μ^{*}$. Finally, the ratio of the electron effective mass to the electron bare mass ($m^{*}_{e}/m_{e}$) has been calculated. It has been shown, that $m^{*}_{e}/m_{e}$ takes the high value in the whole range of the superconducting phase's existence, and its maximum is equal to 2.23 for T=T_{C}.

A star disrupted by a stellar black hole as the origin of the cloud falling toward the Galactic center
Creators: name: Miralda-Escude, Jordi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose that the cloud moving on a highly eccentric orbit near the central black hole in our Galaxy, reported by Gillessen et al., is formed by a photoevaporation wind originating in a disk around a star that is tidally perturbed and shocked at every peribothron passage. The disk is proposed to have formed when a stellar black hole flew by the star, tidally disrupted its envelope, and placed the star on its present orbit with some of the tidal debris forming a disk. A disrupting encounter at the location of the observed cloud is most likely to be caused by a stellar black hole because of the expected dynamical mass segregation; the rate of these disk-forming encounters may be as high as $\sim 10^{-6}$ per year. The star should also be spun up by the encounter, so the disk may subsequently expand by absorbing angular momentum from the star. Once the disk expands up to the tidal truncation radius, the tidal perturbation of the outer disk edge at every peribothron may place gas streams on larger orbits which can give rise to a photoevaporation wind that forms the cloud at every orbit. This model predicts that, after the cloud is disrupted at the next peribothron passage in 2013, a smaller unresolved cloud will gradually grow around the star on the same present orbit. An increased infrared luminosity from the disk may also be detectable when the peribothron is reached. We also note that this model revives the encounter theory for planet formation.

description: We derive a self-consistent local variant of the Thomas-Fermi approximation for (quasi-)two-dimensional (2D) systems by localizing the Hartree term. The scheme results in an explicit orbital-free representation of the electron density and energy in terms of the external potential, the number of electrons, and the chemical potential determined upon normalization. We test the method over a variety 2D nanostructures by comparing to the Kohn-Sham 2D-LDA calculations up to 600 electrons. Accurate results are obtained in view of the negligible computational cost. We also assess a local upper bound for the Hartree energy.
Boundary action of free AdS higher-spin gauge fields and the holographic correspondence

description: We determine the boundary terms of the free higher-spin action which reproduce the AdS Fronsdal equations in an AdS manifold with a finite distance boundary. The boundary terms are further constrained by the gauge invariance of the total action. We show that, for spins larger than two, no local boundary term can restore the full gauge symmetry, and the broken symmetry corresponds to higher-spin Weyl transformations on the boundary CFT. The boundary action is used for the evaluation of the on-shell higher-spin AdS action in terms of the boundary data given by a conformal higher-spin field.

description: We investigate finite size scaling in percolating widthless stick systems with variable aspect ratios in an extensive Monte Carlo simulation study. A generalized scaling function is introduced to describe the scaling behavior of the percolation distribution moments and probability at the percolation threshold. We show that the prefactors in the generalized scaling function depend on the system aspect ratio and exhibit features that are generic to whole class of the percolating systems. In particular, we demonstrate existence of characteristic aspect ratio for which percolation probability at the threshold is scale invariant and definite parity of the prefactors in generalized scaling function for the first two percolation probability moments.

description: In this paper, we report the identification of global and partial phase synchronizations in linear arrays of unidirectionally coupled piecewise linear time-delay systems with two different coupling configurations. In particular, in a linear array with open end boundary conditions, global phase synchronization (GPS) is achieved by a sequential synchronization as a function of the coupling strength (a second order transition). Further, the asynchronous ones in the array with respect to the main sequentially synchronized cluster organize themselves to form clusters before they achieve synchronization with the main cluster. On the other hand, in a linear array with closed end boundary conditions (ring topology), partial phase synchronization (PPS) is achieved by forming different groups of phase synchronized clusters above some threshold value of the coupling strength (a first order transition) where they continue to be in a stable PPS state. We confirm the occurrence of both global and partial phase synchronizations in two different piecewise linear time-delay systems using various numerical methods.

Large-Scale Structure with Gravitational Waves I: Galaxy Clustering

description: Observed angular positions and redshifts of large-scale structure tracers such as galaxies are affected by gravitational waves through volume distortion and magnification effects. Thus, a gravitational wave background can in principle be probed through clustering statistics of large-scale structure. We calculate the observed angular clustering of galaxies in the presence of a gravitational wave background at linear order including all relativistic effects. For a scale-invariant spectrum of gravitational waves, the effects are most significant at the smallest multipoles (2 <= l <= 5), but typically suppressed by six or more orders of magnitude with respect to scalar contributions for currently allowed amplitudes of the inflationary gravitational wave background. We also discuss the most relevant second-order terms, corresponding to the distortion of tracer correlation functions by gravitational waves. These provide a natural application of the approach recently developed in arXiv:1204.3625.

La mistificazione delle Americhe. La cosiddetta “Profezia Maya” del 2012

description: The fluidity of post-modern vision and interaction with the tourist market and mass media are leading to increasing mythification and commodification of Native American cultures.

In this article, we provide some case histories revolving around the so-called 2012 Maya Prophecy, for example Eugenia Casarin Limón, who in Mexico presents herself as a psychotherapist and member of an originally French neo-Hermetic organization, whereas in Italy she appears as a "Maya priestess"; or the better known José Argüelles, whose cultural background is entirely North American and European.

Argüelles has made use of an ethnic Maya, Hunbatz Men, who however drew inspiration, not from traditional sources, but from a self-styled Gnostic movement, founded by the German adventurer Arnold Krumm-Heller; and the Mexican author Martínez Paredez, who inspired the symbolic work of Argüelles, was in turn inspired by a French Freemason, Augustus Le Plongeon.

Application by Argüelles and others of the I Ching to the so-called Maya Prophecy is especially interesting because of the changing meaning of this Chinese work to the West, from the times of the Jesuit missions to today's cyberculture.

The Maya Prophecy has much more to tell us about “Western” culture than about the Mesoamerican world.

Subjects: 21 de diciembre de 2012; calendario maya; adivinación maya

description: The goal of this article is to study the concept of time in the Maya culture, particularly in the today communities of k’iche’ area in Guatemala. Based on a fieldwork in Mexico and in Guatemala, it will be analyzed the prophetic use of the present calendar of 260 days and the concept of past, present and future prophecy and divination, through the consultation of the holy calendar cycle of tsolk’iin.

The purpose is also to study the connections between the Maya Calendar and the Maya movements for the ethnic claims, as well as their political implications. Furthermore, it will be analyzed the strategic date of December, 21st 2012, which, further the present k’iche’ calendar, is falling on a day 4 Ajpuu, which a special day, used to ask for fertility and to plan future projects. It is also a day dedicated to the ancestors’ worship, a ritual always connected to the renovation and to the request of life protection, but never to the destruction and to the death.

description: We study the behaviour of a scalar field coupled to a noncommutative black hole which is described by a $κ$-cylinder Hopf algebra. We introduce a new class of realizations of this algebra which has a smooth limit as the deformation parameter vanishes. The twisted flip operator is independent of the choice of realization within this class. We demonstrate that the $R$-matrix is quasi-triangular up to the first order in the deformation parameter. Our results indicate how a scalar field might behave in the vicinity of a black hole at the Planck scale.

description: We describe how strong resonant interactions in multimode optomechanical systems can be used to induce controlled nonlinear couplings between single photons and phonons. Combined with linear mapping schemes between photons and phonons, these techniques provide a universal building block for various classical and quantum information processing applications. Our approach is especially suited for nano-optomechanical devices, where strong optomechanical interactions on a single photon level are within experimental reach.

description: We consider chains of random constraint satisfaction models that are spatially coupled across a finite window along the chain direction. We investigate their phase diagram at zero temperature using the survey propagation formalism and the interpolation method. We prove that the SAT-UNSAT phase transition threshold of an infinite chain is identical to the one of the individual standard model, and is therefore not affected by spatial coupling. We compute the survey propagation complexity using population dynamics as well as large degree approximations, and determine the survey propagation threshold. We find that a clustering phase survives coupling. However, as one increases the range of the coupling window, the survey propagation threshold increases and saturates towards the phase transition threshold. We also briefly discuss other aspects of the problem. Namely, the condensation threshold is not affected by coupling, but the dynamic threshold displays saturation towards the condensation one. All these features may provide a new avenue for obtaining better provable algorithmic lower bounds on phase transition thresholds of the individual standard model.
Qualche considerazione sulla costante di correlazione tra il lungo computo Maya ed il calendario occidentale

description: The remains of the Mayan civilization describe (among other things) many observations of various astronomical phenomena observed by the Maya. The modern Celestial Mechanics allows us to calculate with great accuracy when astronomical phenomena occurred and were visible in the sky for a given location on Earth too far back in time. The Maya developed the very accurate calendar known as the Long Count, but when we want to synchronize it with the western one, the correlation between the two is surprisingly very uncertain. The two calendars can be connected each other by analyzing historical data and various astronomical phenomena of which we have a paper trail in the ancient texts that is sufficient to establish an appropriate chronology. The correlation between the Long Count and the Gregorian calendar has been studied by many authors who have obtained correlation values very different from each other (almost 50 different values), which differ from one another by hundreds of years, producing considerable uncertainty in Mayan history in relation to other civilizations. Astronomy can potentially solve the problem of the correct identification of the relationship, provided that the records are available from the observations performed and documented chronologically according to the Mayan Long Count. In the present work has been performed the statistical analysis of the 52 correlations at present known and used pointing out that at the present state of knowledge it is not possible to get the exact determination of the coefficient of synchronization (correlation) between the Long Count and the Western calendar, but only an assessment of its probability distribution function, thus allowing you to assign a probability value to each value of the correlation that has been published. The statistical analysis of the 52 values at present known leads to an optimal value of the correlation constant of JDN 588159 with an uncertainty of about ±35 years.

Parametric families of polynomials : construction and applications
Creators: name: Lavallee, Melisa Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The focus of this thesis is on the study of parametric families of polynomials and in particular, their construction and applications. A method in constructing a family of parametric sextic trinomials defining sextic fields containing any cubic subfield is presented. We then show two applications of our parametrization to obtain already established parameterizations of sextic trinomials defining sextic fields containing either a cyclic or pure cubic subfield. We then present three chapters illustrating the applications obtained from a parametric family of polynomials. Two such chapters illustrate that such families may yield an infinite number of monogenic fields. The other illustrates that such families may yield an infinite number of intersective polynomials.
