description: L'articolo si occupa di aspetti normativi e competitivi della penetrazione reciproca da parte delle banche canadesi e statunitensi nei rispettivi mercati nazionali . Gli autori valutano il grado in cui i fattori economici sono gli unici responsabili per la differenza nei tassi di crescita tra le banche nazionali ed estere in Nord America. Essi sostengono che il regolamento non ha inciso sullala crescita delle banche estere in Nord America affrontando la questione della reciprocità in regolamenti bancari , prima di esaminare le banche estere negli Stati Uniti e il modo in cui sono state regolamentate .The paper is concerned with regulatory and competitive aspects of the mutual penetration by Canadian and U.S. banks of each other’s domestic markets. The authors assess the degree to which economic factors alone are responsible for the difference in growth rates between domestic and foreign banks in North America. They argue that regulation has not affected the growth of foreign banks in North America by addressing the question of reciprocity in banking regulations, before examining foreign banks in the U.S. and the manner in which they have been regulated. U.S. banks operating in Canada are then dealt with. Finally, the results of an empirical test of the proposition that the growth of cross-border banking is attributable to factors other than differential regulation is presented. JEL: G21

description: We explicitly construct and study the statistics of flux vacua for type IIB string theory on an orientifold of the Calabi-Yau hypersurface $P^4_{[1,1,2,2,6]}$, parametrised by two relevant complex structure moduli. We solve for these moduli and the dilaton field in terms of the set of integers defining the 3-form fluxes and examine the distribution of vacua. We compare our numerical results with the predictions of the Ashok-Douglas density $\det (-R - ω)$, finding good overall agreement in different regions of moduli space. The number of vacua are found to scale with the distance in flux space. Vacua cluster in the region close to the conifold singularity. Large supersymmetry breaking is more generic but supersymmetric and hierarchical supersymmetry breaking vacua can also be obtained. In particular, the small superpotentials and large dilaton VEVs needed to obtain de Sitter space in a controllable approximation are possible but not generic. We argue that in a general flux compactification, the rank of the gauge group coming from D3 branes could be statistically preferred to be very small.

description: Recent literature indicates that attractive interactions between particles of a dense liquid play a secondary role in determining its bulk mechanical properties. Here we show that, in contrast with their apparent unimportance to the bulk mechanics of dense liquids, attractive interactions can have a major effect on macro- and microscopic elastic properties of glassy solids. We study several broadly-applicable dimensionless measures of stability and mechanical disorder in simple computer glasses, in which the relative strength of attractive interactions -- referred to as `glass stickiness' -- can be readily tuned. We show that increasing glass stickiness can result in the decrease of various quantifiers of mechanical disorder, on both macro- and microscopic scales, with a pair of intriguing exceptions to this rule. Interestingly, in some cases strong attractions can lead to a reduction of the number density of soft, quasilocalized modes, by up to an order of magnitude, and to a substantial decrease in their core size, similar to the effects of thermal annealing on elasticity observed in recent works. Contrary to the behavior of canonical glass models, we provide compelling evidence indicating that the stabilization mechanism in our sticky-sphere glasses stems predominantly from the self-organized depletion of interactions featuring large, \emph{negative} stiffnesses. Finally, we establish a fundamental link between macroscopic and microscopic quantifiers of mechanical disorder, which we motivate via scaling arguments. Future research directions are discussed.

description: We study supersymmetric Wilson loops from a geometrical perspective. To this end, we propose a new formulation of these operators in terms of an integral form associated to the immersion of the loop into a supermanifold. This approach provides a unifying description of Wilson loops preserving different sets of supercharges, and clarifies the flow between them. Moreover, it allows to exploit the powerful techniques of super-differential calculus for investigating their symmetries. As remarkable examples, we discuss supersymmetry and kappa-symmetry invariance.

description: We find the symmetry generators for the Friedman equations emanating from a perfect fluid source, in the presence of a cosmological constant term. The relevant dynamics is seen to be governed by two coupled, first order ordinary differential equations, the continuity and the quadratic constraint equation. Arbitrary functions appear in the components of the symmetry vector, indicating the infinity of the group. When the equation of state is considered as arbitrary but ab initio given, previously known results are recovered and/or generalized. When the pressure is considered among the dynamical variables, solutions for models with different equations of state are mapped to each other; thus enabling the presentation of solutions to models with complicated equations of state starting from simple known cases.

Gazing in the mirror: reflections on educating preservice teachers for collaborative work with indigenous communites
Creators: name: Fulton, Carol Lynne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This dissertation portrays the life of one teacher educator who is concerned that the teacher education institution where she works is failing to prepare teachers who can work collaboratively and respectfully in/with First Nations and Métis communities in her province. As part of the institution and the dominant group in society that has helped to perpetuate inequities and injustices, she recognizes she is therefore complicit in this failure. This realization has led to a self-study, an autoethnography, within the context of her institution where she attempts to understand why the focus on teaching for social justice, which has been a vision of many of her colleagues for several years, has had little influence on prospective teachers. She asks, “What are the possibilities for improving the preparation of preservice teachers to work with indigenous communities in respectful, supportive, and collaborative ways?” A series of simple stories illustrates the complexity of the questions. The stories also illustrate how her understanding of the questions and the tangled issues that emerge from the study shifts through iterations of returning to the questions. Rather than trying to disentangle the issues, the study attempts to view the issues through a lens that can provide a holistic rendering of the data. Using the lens of complexity science, the study illustrates how the teacher educator, the people with whom she works, the institution, and the community schools she visited are complex adaptive systems. Each has the potential to be transformed through enhancing patterns of interaction or to replicate the status quo through inhibiting patterns. Examples of enhancing and inhibiting patterns of interaction are identified as well as suggestions for opening up possibilities for change and transformation. The study demonstrates that there are no simple solutions to solving some of the problems schools and communities face. The teacher educator comes to understand that if she expects her student teachers to become respectful, collaborative participants in the creation of socially just and equitable communities, she must model those patterns of behaviour herself. She therefore invites others to join her in the dance of co-creating a “shared and harmonious future”.

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

description: The set of Multi-level Amplitude Damping (MAD) quantum channels is introduced as a generalization of the standard qubit Amplitude Damping Channel to quantum systems of finite dimension $d$. In the special case of $d=3$, by exploiting degradability, data-processing inequalities, and channel isomorphism, we compute the associated quantum and private classical capacities for a rather wide class of maps, extending the set of solvable models known so far. We proceed then to the evaluation of the entanglement assisted, quantum and classical, capacities.

title: Investigation of charge up effects on silicon test structures
Creators: name: Jagenteufel, Paul
Publisher: name: TU Wien
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Silicon detectors

description: The CMS experiment is one of the large LHC experiments at CERN. As it is continuously running, the detector degrades with time because of the radiation damage of the colliding particles. So the detector has to be renewed around 2022 in the so-called phase II upgrade. For this upgrade new sensors have to be developed with new technology or materials, that exhibit higher radiation hardness, because after the upgrade the luminosity of the LHC shall be increased. The comparison of the process quality of the sensors of different vendors based on the characterisation of teststructures is the scope of this diploma thesis. Special emphasis was laid on charge up effects, that were examined and also tried to provoke on gate-controlled diodes and MOS structures in particular.

description: We perform a rigorous computation of the specific heat of the Ashkin-Teller model in the case of small interaction and we explain how the universality-nonuniversality crossover is realized when the isotropic limit is reached. We prove that, even in the region where universality for the specific heat holds, anomalous critical exponents appear: for instance we predict the existence of a previously unknown anomalous exponent, continuously varying with the strength of the interaction, describing how the difference between the critical temperatures rescales with the anisotropy parameter.

description: Exciton-polaritons are hybrid light-matter excitations arising from the non-perturbative coupling of a photonic mode and an excitonic resonance. Behaving as interacting photons, they show optical third-order nonlinearities providing effects such as optical parametric oscillation or amplification. It has been suggested that polariton-polariton interactions can be greatly enhanced by inducing aligned electric dipoles in their excitonic part. However direct evidence of a true particle-particle interaction, such as superfluidity or parametric scattering is still missing. In this work, we demonstrate that dipolar interactions can be used to enhance parametric effects such as self-phase modulation in waveguide polaritons. By quantifying these optical nonlinearities we provide a reliable experimental measurement of the direct dipolar enhancement of polariton-polariton interactions.

description: Moiré superlattices in twisted bilayer graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides have emerged as a powerful tool for engineering novel band structures and quantum phases of two-dimensional quantum materials. Here we investigate Moiré physics emerging from twisting two independent hexagonal optical lattices of atomic (pseudo-)spin states (instead of bilayers), which exhibits remarkably different physics from twisted bilayer graphene. We employ a momentum-space tight-binding calculation that includes all range real-space tunnelings, and show that all twist angles $θ\lesssim 6^{\circ }$ can become magic that support gapped flat bands. Due to greatly enhanced density of states near the flat bands, the system can be driven to superfluid by weak attractive interaction. Strikingly, the superfluid phase corresponds to a Larkin-Ovchinnikov state with finite momentum pairing, resulting from the interplay between flat bands and inter-spin interactions in the unique single-layer spin-twisted lattice. Our work may pave the way for exploring novel quantum phases and twistronics in cold atomic systems.

description: A high energy density plasma embedded in a neutral gas is able to launch an outward-propagating nonlinear electrostatic ionization wave that traps energetic electrons. The trapping maintains a strong sheath electric field, enabling rapid and long-lasting wave propagation aided by field ionization. Using 1D3V kinetic simulations, we examine the propagation of the ionization wave in the presence of a transverse MG-level magnetic field with the objective to identify qualitative changes in a regime where the initial thermal pressure of the plasma exceeds the pressure of the magnetic field ($β>1$). Our key finding is that the magnetic field stops the propagation by causing the energetic electrons sustaining the wave to lose their energy by emitting an electromagnetic wave. The emission is accompanied by the magnetic field expulsion from the plasma and an increased electron loss from the trapping wave structure. The described effect provides a mechanism mitigating rapid plasma expansion for those applications that involve an embedded plasma, such as high-flux neutron production from laser-irradiated deuterium gas jets.

Polarimetric line profiles for scattering off rotating disks

description: We predict polarimetric line profiles for scattering off rotating disks using a Monte Carlo technique. We have discovered that there is a marked difference between scattering of line emission by a disk that reaches the stellar surface, and a disk with an inner hole. For the case with an inner hole, we find single position-angle rotations, similar to those predicted by analytic models. For the case of an undisrupted disk, we find double rotations in the position angle -- an effect not reported before. We show that this new effect is due to the finite-sized star interacting with the disk's rotational velocity field. Since a gradual increase of the hole size transforms the double rotations smoothly back into single ones -- as the line emission object approaches that of a point source -- our models demonstrate the diagnostic potential of line polarimetry in determining not only the disk inclination, but also the size of the disk inner hole. Our models are generic, and relevant to any line emitting object that is embedded in a rotating disk. Examples are: Herbig Ae stars, T Tauri stars, other young stars, early-type stars with disks, post-AGB stars, cataclysmic variables and other binary systems, as well as extra-galactic objects, such as the disks around super-massive black holes.

description: We borrow the form of potential of the well-known kink-bearing $φ^4$ system in the range between its two vacua and paste it repeatedly into the other ranges to introduce the periodic $φ^4$ system. The paper is devoted to providing a comparative numerical study of the properties of the two systems. Although the two systems are quite similar for a kink (antikink) solution, they usually exhibit different behaviors throughout collisions. For instance, they have different critical velocities, different results during collisions, and a different rule in their quasi-fractal structures. Their quasi-fractal structures will be studied in the disturbed kink-antikink collisions as well. Hence, three types of scattering windows will be introduced with respect to the incoming speed, the amplitude, and initial phase of the internal mode, respectively. Moreover, a detailed comparative study of the collisions between two kinks and one antikink will be done at the end.

description: Se presenta un estudio cuasi experimental de campo, desarrollado en el aula de traducción, con el que se persigue analizar la influencia que el feedback del profesorado puede ejercer en las creencias de autoeficacia de sus estudiantes. Este estudio se llevó a cabo en tres grupos de una asignatura de traducción especializada (español-inglés) y adoptó un enfoque metodológico mixto que combinaba las siguientes técnicas: observación en el aula, entrevistas al profesorado, grupos de discusión con estudiantes y la encuesta. Esta última incluía la Escala de Creencias de Autoeficacia del Traductor (Haro-Soler, 2018a). Los resultados obtenidos apuntan que el feedback constructivo (que incluía feedback positivo, negativo, indirecto y elaborado) y basado en la colaboración y el diálogo entre estudiantes y profesores parece haber repercutido positivamente en las creencias de autoeficacia de los estudiantes de dos de los grupos del estudio, especialmente en lo que se refiere a la resolución de problemas de traducción. Por el contrario, el feedback directo, simple y centrado únicamente en errores, propio de un enfoque transmisionista, no solo no favoreció, sino que parece haber disminuido las creencias de autoeficacia de los estudiantes del tercer grupo a la hora de tomar decisiones de traducción. En consecuencia, a pesar de la dificultad que conlleva desarrollar estudios cuasi experimentales en el aula (Nunan, 2007), el estudio aquí presentado contribuirá a satisfacer la necesidad de realizar estudios con diseño cuasi experimental (Bolaños-Medina, 2014a) que permitan identificar, con respaldo empírico, prácticas docentes que puedan favorecer el desarrollo de creencias de autoeficacia realistas por parte del estudiantado durante su formación en traducción.

title: Social Inclusion in and around Visual Arts Activities: Epistemic Practices in a Preschool Context
Creators: name: Vackova, Petra
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: The Czech Republic is experiencing an upsurge of preschool programs that promote social inclusion following the agenda of the Czech government to provide hard-to-reach children, many of them Roma, an equal access to education. Social inclusion in this context is an end-product of a social project focused on the entry of groups of children in mainstream education. This thesis examines one such preschool with the aim to better understand how teachers, children, parents and the material culture interact and thus influence the inclusive character of their classroom. Proposing three processes –communication, embodied interactions, and agency – as central to the culture of inclusion and exclusion, I argue that it is more useful to look at inclusive education as an epistemic practice, a set of processes, where specific classroom dynamics construct a specific perspective of how social inclusion and exclusion is performed, created, and negotiated. Exploring artmaking, as a particular behaviour setting, I investigate the role of visual art in inclusive education and suggest that instead of assigning special inclusive powers to the process of artmaking it is more useful to explore its agency and the way its materiality co-constructs inclusive education practices.

The good mother: a critical discourse analysis of literacy advice to mothers in the 20th century
Creators: name: Smythe, Suzanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Often presented as a means of communicating the latest in scientific research to parents, literacy advice is a key strategy used by educational institutions to address persistent gaps in literacy achievement across socio-economic groups. The rationale for creating and disseminating literacy advice is that if families adhere to it, their children will become literate, succeed in school, and become productive members of society. Drawing on Foucauldian approaches to discourse analysis, feminist theories, and the concept of mothering and literacy as situated practices, the study explores literacy advice to parents as a gendered practice of power rather than an institutional truth. Based on the analysis of over three hundred literacy advice texts published in Britain and North America since the Nineteenth Century, the study demonstrated that contemporary literacy advice to parents is deeply rooted in the cultural ideal of the “good mother.” Discourses of domestic pedagogy, intensive mothering, and the “normal” family normalize middle class domesticity and the ideal of the good mother as essential to children’s literacy acquisition and academic success. The findings suggest that reliance upon women’s domestic literacy work to promote children’s academic success not only reproduces gender inequalities, but has implications for equity in literacy learning opportunities among diversely situated children and families.

description: We report measurements of spin susceptibility of a two-dimensional hole gas confined at an GaAs/AlGaAs interface in density range from 2.8 x 10^10 to 6.5 x 10^10 cm-2. We used the method of spin polarization of carriers in parallel magnetic field. We observed an enhancement of the spin susceptibility over the bulk value that increases as the density is decreased in qualitative agreement with Quantum Monte Carlo calculations. The measured enhancement factor increases from 2.8 to 4.8 as the hole density is decreased.

Tuttavia, l'autore vede possibile un ulteriore margine di miglioramento nell' l'idea di Jacques van Ypersele di set-up di contratti di swap in dollari / ECU tra il Fondo europeo di cooperazione monetaria e la Federal Reserve.

The axial ratio of hcp iron at the conditions of the Earth's inner core

description: We present ab initio calculations of the high-temperature axial c/a ratio of hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) iron at Earth's core pressures, in order to help interpret the observed seismic anisotropy of the inner core. The calculations are based on density functional theory, which is known to predict the properties of high-pressure iron with good accuracy. The temperature dependence of c/a is determined by minimising the Helmholtz free energy at fixed volume and temperature, with thermal contributions due to lattice vibrations calculated using harmonic theory. Anharmonic corrections to the harmonic predictions are estimated from calculations of the thermal average stress obtained from ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of hcp iron at the conditions of the inner core. We find a very gradual increase of axial ratio with temperature. This increase is much smaller than found in earlier calculations, but is in reasonable agreement with recent high-pressure, high-temperature diffraction measurements. This result casts doubt on an earlier interpretation of the seismic anisotropy of the inner core.

description: Cosmic inflation driven by the vacuum energy associated with the $D$-term of a supersymmetric abelian gauge group and a possible existence of long-range force mediated by an ultra-light gauge boson $Z^\prime$ are two extreme examples of models based on extra $U(1)$ symmetries. Large vacuum energy sets the scale of inflation while the scales of long-range forces induced by anomaly free extra gauged $U(1)$ symmetries are constrained by neutrino oscillations, binary pulsar timings and invisible neutrino decay. There exists a difference of about 40 orders of magnitude between the scales of these two. Also, gauge couplings associated with the long-range forces are very small compared to the standard model couplings and the one required for inflation. We propose a framework based on clockwork mechanism in which these vastly different scales and associated new physics can coexist without invoking any arbitrarily small or large parameter in the fundamental theory. A chain of $U(1)$ is introduced with characteristic nearest-neighbour interactions. A large $D$-term introduced at one end governs the dynamics of inflation. $Z^\prime$ is localized on the other end of the chain, and it can be massless or can get naturally suppressed mass. The standard model fields can be charged under one of the intermediate $U(1)$ in the chain to give rise to their small effective coupling $g^\prime$ with $Z^\prime$. Constraints on $g^\prime$ and $M_{Z^\prime}$ are discussed in the context of the long-range forces of type $L_μ- L_τ$, $L_e - L_μ$ and $B-L$. These, along with the inflation observables, are used to constraint the parameters of the underlying clockwork model.

description: Questo documento è stato presentato in occasione del quarto Seminario Internazionale sui diritti economici e monetaria dell'Unione Europea, tenutosi a Copenaghen nel marzo del 1981. L'autore prende le questioni teoriche nell'ambito dell'analisi sia statica che dinamica. Egli sostiene, sulla base del criterio di minimizzare la varianza dei prezzi intorno loro valore nominale, che un obiettivo di cambio supera un obiettivo monetario nella maggior parte dei tipi immaginabili di disturbi in un'analisi statica. This paper was presented at the Fourth International Seminar on European Economic and Monetary Union, held in Copenhagen in March of 1981. The author takes up the theoretical issues in the framework of both static and dynamic analysis. He argues, on the basis of the criterion of minimising the variance of prices around their target value, that an exchange-rate target outperforms a monetary target under most conceivable types of disturbances in a static analysis.

description: We demonstrate a novel method of inducing an optical Feshbach resonance based on a coherent free-bound stimulated Raman transition. In our experiment atoms in a Rb87 Bose-Einstein condensate are exposed to two phase-locked Raman laser beams which couple pairs of colliding atoms to a molecular ground state. By controlling the power and relative detuning of the two laser beams, we can change the atomic scattering length considerably. The dependence of scattering length on these parameters is studied experimentally and modelled theoretically.
