Formal functions of metrical dissonance in the music of Paul Hindemith
Creators: name: Mak, Yung Cheung
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A close examination of Paul Hindemith's compositions shows that metrical conflict is his favorite means to create rhythmic interest. The methodology in this study includes Harald Krebs's layers of motion, John Roeder's concept of pulse-streams, and Fred Lerdahl and Ray Jackendoff s theory of grouping. In an attempt to relate metrical dissonance in his compositions to other aspects of musical organization, my research reveals that Hindemith consciously manipulates metrical conflict in certain passages for particular musical purposes, for instance, to prepare for a change of tonality or the entry of a subject, to create points of tension, to intensify the build-up of a climax, and to provide a link between sections. As a compositional resource, metrical conflict is used to increase sectional contrast and so to articulate the form. It is a means of variation in the restatements of a theme, and can be a textural characteristic of an entire movement. Metrical dissonance is even exploited in the context of sonata form so that the conflict becomes the reference, while metrical consonance provides variety. The compositional use of metrical conflict was not a sudden development but involved a gradual process of experimentation in Hindemith's music. Some of his compositions use metrical conflict sparingly and experimentally while others exploit it in large-scale process. Hence, he does not use it excessively. Indeed, some of his compositions entirely lack this rhythmic quality, but his interest in metrical dissonance persisted throughout his whole life.

description: We compute by numerical integration of the Dirac equation the number of quark-antiquark pairs initially produced in the classical color fields of colliding ultrarelativistic nuclei. While the number of qqbar pairs is parametrically suppressed in the coupling constant, we find that in this classical field model their production rate is comparable to the thermal ratio of gluons/pairs = 9 N_f/32. After isotropization one thus would have quark-gluon plasma in chemical equilibrium.

title: Developing a Pathway to Sustainable Residential Cooling in West African Cities : The Case Study of Tema, Ghana
Creators: name: Mertens, Marriette Omaidja
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2021

description: Air conditioning is not just a matter of individual comfort in many tropical countries but a precondition of public health, work productivity and economic growth. Residential cooling is energy-intensive, raising profound concern to exacerbate global warming and in turn the need for more residential cooling as the prevalence of air conditioners especially in Africa is expected to skyrocket in the future. This work develops a pathway to sustainable residential cooling for West African cities to address this challenge. As meaningful data are basically non-existent, electricity end use monitoring and survey of 60 households in Tema city is conducted. This is the first measurement study of residential electricity end use in Ghana. A detailed building energy model, representative in terms of archetype and cooling demand, is developed based on and calibrated with the collected data. The validated model is used for dynamic energy simulation to study the impact of key determinants on cooling energy demand and identify specific reduction measures. Dynamic energy simulation of the cooling schedule is used to demonstrate the potential for rooftop solar photovoltaic to meet this energy demand if operated in a smart way. The work is complemented by policy recommendations to incentivize renewable energy deployment and an economic assessment of the various identified demand reduction measures and solar photovoltaic systems. To walk this pathway successfully and turn sustainable residential cooling for West African cities into reality, it is vital to have barriers for implementation removed and create win-win situations for cooperation of stakeholders across the electrical energy system.

description: We analyze the supersymmetry transformations of gauged $SO(4)$ supergravity coupled to extra hypermultiplets in three dimensions, and find large families of smooth BPS solutions that preserve four supersymmetries. These BPS solutions are part of the consistent truncation of some families of six-dimensional superstrata. From the three-dimensional perspective, these solutions give rise to "smoothly-capped BTZ" geometries. We show how the twisting of the spin connection, the holomorphy of the fields, and the Chern-Simons connections all play an essential role in the existence of these supersymmetric solutions. This paper also closes the circle on the consistent truncation of superstrata, showing precisely how every feature of the superstratum enters into the three-dimensional BPS structure.

description: We calculate the density profiles and density correlation functions of the one-dimensional Bose gas in a harmonic trap, using the exact finite-temperature solutions for the uniform case, and applying a local density approximation. The results are valid for a trapping potential which is slowly varying relative to a correlation length. They allow a direct experimental test of the transition from the weak coupling Gross-Pitaevskii regime to the strong coupling, 'fermionic' Tonks-Girardeau regime. We also calculate the average two-particle correlation which characterizes the bulk properties of the sample, and find that it can be well approximated by the value of the local pair correlation in the trap center.

description: Japanese agricultural policy has undergone substantial change in the last year. Since the completion of the Uruguay Round, the rice market has been partially opened, import quotas on agricultural products have been replaced by tariffs and there has been a general shift away from consumer funding of agricultural programs to funding by taxpayers. These changes are making Japanese agricultural policies more transparent and more open to scrutiny. There is now recognition in Japan that the changes are irreversible and that agriculture will be faced with increasing competition from imports.

description: We derive asymptotic formulas for the mean exit time $\barτ^{N}$ of the fastest among $N$ identical independently distributed Brownian particles to an absorbing boundary for various initial distributions (partially uniformly and exponentially distributed). Depending on the tail of the initial distribution, we report here a continuous algebraic decay law for $\barτ^{N}$, which differs from the classical Weibull or Gumbell results. We derive asymptotic formulas in dimension 1 and 2, for half-line and an interval that we compare with stochastic simulations. We also obtain formulas for an additive constant drift on the Brownian motion. Finally, we discuss some applications in cell biology where a molecular transduction pathway involves multiple steps and a long-tail initial distribution.

description: We have used a proper combination of multiband high-resolution {\it HST-WFPC2} and wide-field ground based observations to image the galactic globular cluster NGC 6266 (M62). The extensive photometric data set allows us to determine the center of gravity and to construct the most extended radial profile ever published for this cluster including, for the first time, detailed star counts in the very inner region. The star density profile is well reproduced by a standard King model with an extended core ($\sim 19''$) and a modest value of the concentration parameter ($c=1.5$), indicating that the cluster has not-yet experienced core collapse. The millisecond pulsar population (whose members are all in binary systems) and the X-ray emitting population (more than 50 sources within the cluster half mass radius) suggest that NGC 6266 is in a dynamical phase particularly active in generating binaries through dynamical encounters. UV observations of the central region have been used to probe the population of blue straggler stars, whose origin might be also affected by dynamical interactions. The comparison with other globular clusters observed with a similar strategy shows that the blue straggler content in NGC 6266 is relatively low, suggesting that the formation channel that produces binary systems hosting neutron stars or white dwarfs is not effective in significantly increasing the blue straggler population. Moreover, an anticorrelation between millisecond pulsar content and blue straggler specific frequency in globular cluster seems emerging with increasing evidence.

description: Bugs are an unavoidable aspect of mathematical programming (MP) modelling. In this paper we discuss the prevention and diagnosis of bugs in MP models. The topic is rarely addressed in the literature but is crucial to the success of modelling projects, especially for large models. We argue that finding a bug and understanding unexpected results (whether or not due to a bug) are very closely related activities. We identify different types of bugs and suggest practical strategies for dealing with each. Adopting procedures for prevention of bugs is essential, especially for large models. We outline the prevention strategies we have adopted and found successful for the MIDAS and MUDAS models.

description: In this paper, we consider a generalized second order nonlinear ordinary differential equation of the form $\ddot{x}+(k_1x^q+k_2)\dot{x}+k_3x^{2q+1}+k_4x^{q+1}+λ_1x=0$, where $k_i$'s, $i=1,2,3,4$, $λ_1$ and $q$ are arbitrary parameters, which includes several physically important nonlinear oscillators such as the simple harmonic oscillator, anharmonic oscillator, force-free Helmholtz oscillator, force-free Duffing and Duffing-van der Pol oscillators, modified Emden type equation and its hierarchy, generalized Duffing-van der Pol oscillator equation hierarchy and so on and investigate the integrability properties of this rather general equation. We identify several new integrable cases for arbitrary value of the exponent $q, q\in R$. The $q=1$ and $q=2$ cases are analyzed in detail and the results are generalized to arbitrary $q$. Our results show that many classical integrable nonlinear oscillators can be derived as sub-cases of our results and significantly enlarge the list of integrable equations that exist in the contemporary literature. To explore the above underlying results we use the recently introduced generalized extended Prelle-Singer procedure applicable to second order ODEs. As an added advantage of the method we not only identify integrable regimes but also construct integrating factors, integrals of motion and general solutions for the integrable cases, wherever possible, and bring out the mathematical structures associated with each of the integrable cases.

description: Despite the uncovered association of a high-energy neutrino with the apparent flaring state of blazar TXS 0506+056 in 2017, the mechanisms leading to astrophysical particle acceleration and neutrino production are still uncertain. Recent studies found that when transparent to $γ$-rays, $γ$-flaring blazars do not have the opacity for protons to produce neutrinos. Here we present observational evidence for an alternative explanation, in which $γ$-ray emission is suppressed during efficient neutrino production. A large proton and target photon density help produce neutrinos while temporarily suppress the observable $γ$-emission due to a large $γγ$ opacity. We show that the Fermi-LAT $γ$-flux of blazar PKS 1502+106 was at a local minimum when IceCube recorded the coincident high-energy neutrino IC-190730A. Using data from the OVRO 40-meter Telescope, we find that radio emission from PKS 1502+106 at the time period of the coincident neutrino IC-190730A was in a high state, in contrast to earlier time periods when radio and $γ$ fluxes are correlated for both low and high states. This points to an active outflow that is $γ$-suppressed at the time of neutrino production. We find similar local $γ$-suppression in other blazars, including in MAGIC's TeV flux of TXS\,0506+056 and Fermi-LAT's flux of blazar PKS B1424-418 at the time of coincident IceCube neutrino detections. Using temporary $γ$-suppression, neutrino-blazar coincidence searches could be substantially more sensitive than previously assumed, enabling the identification of the origin of IceCube's diffuse neutrino flux possibly with already existing data.

We numerically solve the Schr{ö}dinger equation with the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian in the physical Hilbert space obtained by solving Gauss law constraints. We observe the thermalization of a Wilson loop to the canonical state; the relaxation time is insensitive to the coupling strength, and estimated as $τ_{\rm eq}\sim 2π/T$ with temperatures $T$ at steady states. We also compute the vacuum persistence probability (the Loschmidt echo) to understand the relaxation from the dynamics of the wave function.

A meta-analytic review of the effectiveness of personnel selection procedures and training interventions in sales occupations
Creators: name: Farrell, Seonaid
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Applied research on the effectiveness of personnel selection procedures and training interventions in sales occupations was examined by meta-analytic techniques. The literature review included 170 predictorcriterion effect sizes of selection procedures, and 12 effect sizes of training interventions. On average, composite-domain selection assessments predicted salesperson performance (multiple R = .59, p < .05), while the effects of single domain selection assessments and training interventions (r = .27, p > .05; r= .16, p > .05, respectively) were not statistically significant. Among the personnel selection procedures, subjective ratings of performance were predicted by personality assessments (r = .20, p < .05), biographical information inventories (r = .20, p < .05), and cognitive ability (r = .32, p < .05). While objective measures of performance were predicted by special purpose sales assessments (r = .49, p < .05). An analysis of the utility of selection procedures and training interventions based on the average effect sizes found in the present study revealed substantial dollar value gains to the company from the use of personnel selection procedures and training interventions in sales occupations.

description: We derive the chiral kinetic theory under the presence of a gravitational Riemann curvature. It is well-known that in the chiral kinetic theory there inevitably appears a redundant ambiguous vector corresponding to the choice of the Lorentz frame. We reveal that on top of this conventional frame choosing vector, higher-order quantum correction to the chiral kinetic theory brings an additional degrees of freedom to specify the distribution function. Based on this framework, we derive new types of fermionic transport, that is, the charge current and energy-momentum tensor induced by the gravitational Riemann curvature. Such novel phenomena arise not only under genuine gravity but also in a (pseudo-)relativistic fluid, for which inhomogeneous vorticity or temperature are effectively represented by spacetime metric tensor. It is especially found that the charge and energy currents are antiparallelly induced by an inhomogeneous fluid vorticity (more generally, by the Ricci tensor ${R_0}^i$), as a consequence of the spin-curvature coupling. We also briefly discuss possible applications to Weyl/Dirac semimetals and heavy-ion collision experiments.

description: Rhodium (Rh) is found similar to Palladium (Pd) in making near-ohmic electrical contacts to single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with diameters d > ~ 1.6 nm. Non-negligible positive Schottky barriers (SBs) exist between Rh or Pd and semiconducting SWNTs (S-SWNTs) with d < ~ 1.6 nm. With Rh and Pd contacts, the characteristics of SWNT field-effect transistors (FETs) and SB heights at the contacts are largely predictable based on the SWNT diameters, without random variations among devices. Surprisingly, electrical contacts to metallic SWNTs (M-SWNTs) also appear to be diameter dependent especially for small SWNTs. Ohmic contacts are difficult for M-SWNTs with diameters < ~ 1.0 nm possibly due to tunnel barriers.

description: The gauge theory for random spin systems is extended to quantum spin glasses to derive a number of exact and/or rigorous results. The transverse Ising model and the quantum gauge glass are shown to be gauge invariant. For these models, an identity is proved that the expectation value of the gauge invariant operator in the ferromagnetic limit is equal to the one in the classical equilibrium state on the Nishimori line. As a result, a set of inequalities for the correlation function are proved, which restrict the location of the ordered phase. It is also proved that there is no long-range order in the two-dimensional quantum gauge glass in the ground state. The phase diagram for the quantum XY Mattis model is determined.

Community/Rural/Urban Development

description: This article describes the federal government's rural policy activities during 1986. It emphasizes the interactions between rural and other policy areas and the prevailing influence of "politics". The Labor Government's rural policy-making in 1986 was preoccupied with the ramifications of the intensifying contemporary "rural crisis". This overshadowed the continuing, incremental additions to and reformations of the implementation of agricultural policy and processes that are integral to its policy management. Institutional and "political" constraints on federal policy also absorbed much of the government's attention. The year was dominated by a struggle between the Government and the National Farmers' Federation for the "agenda" of rural/agricultural policy. Within its self-imposed macro-economic constraints, the Government applied, with mixed success, a number of strategies intended to defuse the rural crisis. Somewhat surprisingly Labor ended the year in a better political position than objective economic and market circumstances would seem to warrant.

Gauge Invariant Treatment of the Energy Carried by a Gravitational Wave

description: Even though the energy carried by a gravitational wave is not itself gauge invariant, the interaction with a gravitational antenna of the gravitational wave which carries that energy is. It therefore has to be possible to make some statements which involve the energy which are in fact gauge invariant, and it is the objective of this paper to provide them. In order to develop a gauge invariant treatment of the issues involved, we construct a specific action for gravitational fluctuations which is gauge invariant to second perturbative order. Then, via variation of this action, we obtain an energy-momentum tensor for perturbative gravitational fluctuations around a general curved background whose covariant conservation condition is also fully gauge invariant to second order. Contraction of this energy-momentum tensor with a Killing vector of the background conveniently allows us to convert this covariant conservation condition into an ordinary conservation condition which is also gauge invariant through second order. Then, via spatial integration we are able to obtain a relation involving the time derivative of the total energy of the fluctuation and its asymptotic spatial momentum flux which is also completely gauge invariant through second order. It is only in making the simplification of setting the asymptotic momentum flux to zero that one would actually lose manifest gauge invariance, with only invariance under those particular gauge transformations which leave the asymptotic momentum flux zero then remaining. However, if one works in an arbitrary gauge where the asymptotic momentum flux is non-zero, the gravitational wave will then deliver both energy and momentum to a gravitational antenna in a completely gauge invariant manner, no matter how badly behaved at infinity the gauge function might be.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: It has been generally agreed that Australia is a price follower on the world wheat market. However, to date, this has not been tested empirically. In this paper a transfer function model between prices of U.S.A. wheat and Australian wheat is set up to examine the existence, if any, of a leader-follower relationship. By employing the causality criteria as described by Granger, this analysis is implemented to draw inferences about causality among these wheat prices. Results indicated that a significant leader-follower relationship exists, with the U.S.A. taking the leader role. The results reported are particularly useful for wheat price forecasting work and provide a basis for further modelling work.

description: The contention advanced in this paper is that forecast performance could be improved if short-term commodity forecasters were to consider formally the use of a variety of forecasting methods, rather than seeking to improve one selected method. Many researchers have demonstrated that a linear combination of forecasts can produce a composite superior to the individual component forecasts. Using a case study of two Bureau of Agricultural Economics' forecast series and alternative, time series model forecasts of the same series, four methods of deriving composite forecasts are applied on an ex ante basis and are thus evaluated as a means of improving the Bureau's forecast performance. Despite the fact that the authors could not, by combining the available forecasts, form a superior composite forecast, the application highlights the suitability of this approach for reviewing the performance of forecasting methods on a formal basis, and did prove useful in exposing weaknesses and strengths in BAE market information forecasts which otherwise would not have come to light.

description: In this letter we study the photoproduction of heavy quarks and vector mesons in the coherent proton-nucleus (pA) interactions for RHIC and LHC energies and analyze if these processes can be used to determine the QCD dynamics at high energies. The integrated cross section and rapidity distribution are estimated using the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) formalism. A comparison with the linear dynamics predictions is also presented. Our results indicate that the nonlinear dynamics can be proven in those reactions, which are well suited for studing saturation effects.

description: We study the mass/energy structure of the bound state of hadrons in two-dimensional quantum chromodynamics in the large number of color limit (t' Hooft model). We analyze separately the contributions from the traceless and trace part of the energy-momentum tensor, and show that the masses are related to the matrix elements of the scalar charge and Coulomb energy. We derive the light-front sum rules for the scalar charge and Coulomb energy, expressed in terms of the light-front wave functions, and find that they are regular at $x=0$ without the delta function contribution. We also consider the result for the massless Goldstone boson, as well as the structure of the gravitational form factors of the bound meson states.

S_3 Flavor Symmetry and Leptogenesis

description: We consider leptogenesis in a minimal S_3 extension of the standard model with an additional Z_2 symmetry in the leptonic sector. It is found that the CP phase appearing in the neutrino mixing is the same as that for the CP asymmetries responsible for leptogenesis. Because of the discrete S_3 x Z_2 flavor symmetries, the CP asymmetries are strongly suppressed. We therefore assume that the resonant enhancement of the CP asymmetries takes place to obtain a realistic size of baryon number asymmetry in theuniverse. Three degenerate right-handed neutrino masses of O(10) TeV are theoretically expected in this model.

title: The printed rebellions of the princes : factional politics and pamphleteering in early modern France, 1614-1617
Creators: name: Goi, Edwin Andrew
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: This thesis examines the extensive political pamphleteering campaigns engendered by the rebellions of the princes in France between February 1614 and April 1617. Situated between the periods of rule of two larger-than-life figures of French history – Henri IV and ArmandJean du Plessis, cardinal-duc de Richelieu – who continue to monopolise historical research, the pamphleteering campaigns and the rebellions which gave rise to them have received relatively little attention. Such scholarly neglect is unwarranted, for the printed pandemonium of 1614-1617 was comparable to that of the Wars of Religion and the Frondes in intensity, and the political characters and events in this period would set the stage for the dramatic factional struggles throughout Louis XIII’s personal reign. The thesis begins with an investigation into the underlying causes of the princely rebellions which will serve as an important reference point with which to contextualise and analyse the pamphlets. Chapter two reappraises the characteristics of the pamphleteering campaigns and discusses the often-overlooked question of why political persuasion was even necessary during the rebellions, and how it was compatible with the unique political and social structures of seventeenth-century France. Chapter three explores another unacknowledged aspect of French political pamphleteering; it demonstrates how the contemporary obsession with the law of lèse-majesté and the loss of aristocratic honour shaped the production, distribution and contents of certain types of pamphlets. Chapter four examines the princes’ recourse to the timeless and cynical propaganda tactics of demagoguery and mockery, and reconsiders if their pamphlets reflect the true nature of their ideology and political agendas. Chapter five explores how the government and the loyalists responded to the princes’ literature. It illuminates how they circumvented potential diplomatic backlashes, gave lie to the princes’ accusations and played on noble psychology. Chapter five will then reveal, for the first time, how the loyalist pamphleteers used disinformation to nudge the political nation into eschewing the princes’ rebellions. In drawing together all these strands, the thesis will not only present a fresh and more nuanced understanding of the interdependence between politics, government and pamphleteering in 1614-1617, it will throw light on the ethos of the French great nobility and minister-favourites and the nature of princely rebellions. In the process, it elucidates the entangled relationship between power and the media as well as public and private interests in the politics of the era.
INSTABILITY AND FLEXIBLE RESPONSE IN INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL POLICY

Year: 1984
Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: I would like to explore in some detail the often clouded interaction between agriculture and foreign policy, focusing specifically on certain provisions of the 1981 farm bill and the recent Soviet/American grain agreement. I believe that these issues can tell us something about what the 1985 Farm Bill should strive for, and what it should avoid. I will make three general points: (1) The international setting of American agriculture has created increased instability for producers, (2)The legislative response to this instability has been inadequate, (3) New farm legislation must confront instability by recognizing the linkages between farm and foreign policy, and must build in the flexibility necessary to respond to this new policy environment.

description: We propose procedures for testing statistically the significance of violations of nonparametric tests of optimization axioms when observed behavior is measured with error. The tests are robust against parametric specification of the error distribution, thus are nonparametric in both the statistical and economic senses, and are readily implemented numerically. An illustration with demand data is presented.

description: In this tutorial, we provide a didactic treatment of the emerging topic of signal processing on higher-order networks. Drawing analogies from discrete and graph signal processing, we introduce the building blocks for processing data on simplicial complexes and hypergraphs, two common higher-order network abstractions that can incorporate polyadic relationships. We provide brief introductions to simplicial complexes and hypergraphs, with a special emphasis on the concepts needed for the processing of signals supported on these structures. Specifically, we discuss Fourier analysis, signal denoising, signal interpolation, node embeddings, and nonlinear processing through neural networks, using these two higher-order network models. In the context of simplicial complexes, we specifically focus on signal processing using the Hodge Laplacian matrix, a multi-relational operator that leverages the special structure of simplicial complexes and generalizes desirable properties of the Laplacian matrix in graph signal processing. For hypergraphs, we present both matrix and tensor representations, and discuss the trade-offs in adopting one or the other. We also highlight limitations and potential research avenues, both to inform practitioners and to motivate the contribution of new researchers to the area.

Inclusive jet cross-sections and dijet azimuthal decorrelations with D0
Creators: name: Ströhmer, Raimund
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a preliminary measurement of the inclusive jet cross-sections based on an integrated luminosity of 378 pb^{-1} acquired with the D0 detector between 2002 and 2004 at a center of mass energy of \sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV and a measurement of azimuthal dijet decorrelations based on an integrated luminosity of 150 pb^{-1}. The cross section measurements are based on an iterative cone algorithm with a cone size of R=0.7. They are performed in two rapidity bins between 0.0 and 0.8. The measurements are in good agreement with next to leading order calculations. The azimuthal angle between the two leading jets is sensitive to higher order QCD effects. The measurement of dijet azimuthal decorrelations therefore probes these effects without explicitly reconstructing more than two jets. Except for large azimuthal angles where soft effects are important the measurements are well described by the next to leading order perturbation theory.

description: In this note we show that the expected value of the separating systole of a random surface of genus $g$ with respect to Weil-Petersson volume behaves like $2\log g $ as the genus goes to infinity. This is in strong contrast to the behavior of the expected value of the systole which, by results of Mirzakhani and Petri, is independent of genus.

description: The Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) is being built at Haizi Mountain, Sichuan province of China at an altitude of 4410 meters. One of its main goals is to survey the northern sky for very-high-energy gamma ray sources via its ground-based water Cherenkov detector array (WCDA). 900 8-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) CR365-02-1 from Beijing Hamamatsu Photon Techniques INC. (BHP) are installed in the WCDA, collecting Cherenkov photons produced by air shower particles crossing water. The design of the PMT base with a high dynamic range for CR365-02-1, the PMT batch test system, and the test results of 997 PMTs are presented in this paper.
