description: We present intermediate-resolution optical spectrophotometry of 65 galaxies obtained in support of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS). For each galaxy we obtain a nuclear, circumnuclear, and semi-integrated optical spectrum designed to coincide spatially with mid- and far-infrared spectroscopy from the Spitzer Space Telescope. We make the reduced, spectrophotometrically calibrated one-dimensional spectra, as well as measurements of the fluxes and equivalent widths of the strong nebular emission lines, publically available. We use optical emission-line ratios measured on all three spatial scales to classify the sample into star-forming, active galactic nuclei (AGN), and galaxies with a mixture of star formation and nuclear activity. We find that the relative fraction of the sample classified as star-forming versus AGN is a strong function of the integrated light enclosed by the spectroscopic aperture. We supplement our observations with a large database of nebular emission-line measurements of individual H ii regions in the SINGS galaxies culled from the literature. We use these ancillary data to conduct a detailed analysis of the radial abundance gradients and average H ii- region abundances of a large fraction of the sample. We combine these results with our new integrated spectra to estimate the central and characteristic (globally-averaged) gas-phase oxygen abundances of all 75 SINGS galaxies. We conclude with an in-depth discussion of the absolute uncertainty in the nebular oxygen abundance scale.

description: En el Departamento de Nariño, está ubicado el Municipio de Cumbal allí está el Resguardo Indígena del Gran Cumbal, que conservan practicas ancestrales en su cosmovisión e identidad cultural, este territorio se organiza con 5 cabildos y resguardos con sus veredas y corregimientos. El territorio protege la Autonomía Alimentaria y el uso de abonos orgánicos para salvaguardar la semilla ancestral que se incorpora en la Shagra, espacio donde se siembra de quinua, ocas, ulloco, majúas, maíz, papa, habas y legumbres. Esto debido a que en los años 70 llego la Caja Agraria (Banco Agrario) ofreciendo semillas transgénicas (semillas curadas), prestamos económicos, insecticidas y pesticidas, con el objetivo de obtener mayor producción y “calidad”, sin embargo, estos ocasionaron con el tiempo perdida de la capa vegetativa, contaminación ambiental y la presencia de enfermedades. La presente Tesis tiene como base presentar el valor de la Quinua como principal alimento milenario de los Pueblos Andinos, el valor de la siembra, cultivo y cosecha de los alimentos libre de procesos químicos para obtener un Buen Vivir. Prácticas que se realizaron en Bogotá en el 2007 en el Barrio Los Laches con la finalidad de mejorar la calidad de vida de la ciudadanía.
description: In the Department of Nariño, is located the Municipality of Cumbal there is the Great Cumbal Indigenous Reservation, which retain ancestral practices in their cosmovision and cultural identity, this territory is organized with 5 cabildos and resguardos with their sidewalks and corregimientos. The territory protects the Food Autonomy and the use of organic fertilizers to safeguard the ancestral seed that is incorporated in the Shagra, space where quinoa, geese, ulloco, majúas, corn, potato, beans and legumes are planted. This is because in the 70s came the Agrarian Fund (Agrarian Bank) offering transgenic seeds (cured seeds), economic loans, insecticides and pesticides, with the aim of obtaining greater production and "quality", however, these caused with time lost vegetative layer, environmental pollution and the presence of diseases. The present Thesis is based on presenting the value of quinoa as the main millenary food of the Andean Peoples, the value of planting, cultivation and harvesting of food free of chemical processes to obtain a Good Living. Practices that were carried out in Bogota in 2007 in the Los Laches neighborhood in order to improve the quality of life of citizens.
Nature of excitations and defects in structural glasses.

description: The nature of defects in amorphous materials, analogous to vacancies and dislocations in crystals, remains elusive. Here, we explore their nature in a three-dimensional microscopic model glass-former that describes granular, colloidal, atomic and molecular glasses by changing the temperature and density. We find that all glasses evolve in a very rough energy landscape, with a hierarchy of barrier sizes corresponding to both localized and delocalized excitations. Collective excitations dominate in the jamming regime relevant for granular and colloidal glasses. By moving gradually to larger densities describing atomic and molecular glasses, the system crosses over to a regime dominated by localized defects and relatively simpler landscapes. We quantify the energy and temperature scales associated to these defects and their evolution with density. Our results pave the way to a systematic study of low-temperature physics in a broad range of physical conditions and glassy materials.

description: WaterBeans is a proof-of-feasibility system for building software applications through a process of assembling (composing) prefabricated software components. WaterBeans was originally developed as a proof of feasibility that software component technology could be used to develop software applications in the domain of water-quality modeling. (In particular, WaterBeans supports modeling and simulating the hydrology of urban storm water sewage and runoff.) WaterBeans includes a component model for component developers, a visual composition environment for importing and assembling components into applications, and several families of components. One family of components supports modeling and simulating urban sewage systems. Another family of components was developed to prove the generality of WaterBeans; this family of components allows visualization and manipulation of digital waveforms. This report documents the programming interface for component developers. It also provides a brief description of the composition environment.

description: We propose a model having a gauged $SU(2)$ symmetry associated with the second and third generations of leptons, dubbed $SU(2)_{μτ}$, of which $U(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}$ is an Abelian subgroup. In addition to the Standard Model fields, we introduce two types of scalar fields. One exotic scalar field is an $SU(2)_{μτ}$ doublet and SM singlet that develops a nonzero vacuum expectation value at presumably multi-TeV scale to completely break the $SU(2)_{μτ}$ symmetry, rendering three massive gauge bosons. At the same time, the other exotic scalar field, carrying electroweak as well as $SU(2)_{μτ}$ charges, is induced to have a nonzero vacuum expectation value as well and breaks mass degeneracy between the muon and tau. We examine how the new particles in the model contribute to the muon anomalous magnetic moment in the parameter space compliant with the Michel decays of tau.

description: We consider quantum rings realized in materials where the dynamics of charge carriers mimics that of two-dimensional (2D) Dirac electrons. A general theoretical description of the ring-subband structure is developed that applies to a range of currently available 2D systems, including graphene, transition-metal dichalcogenides, and narrow-gap semiconductor quantum wells. We employ the scattering-matrix approach to calculate the electronic two-terminal conductance through the ring and investigate how it is affected by Dirac-electron interference. The interplay of pseudo-spin chirality and hard-wall confinement is found to distinctly affect the geometric phase that is experimentally accessible in mesoscopic-conductance measurements. We derive an effective Hamiltonian for the azimuthal motion of charge carriers in the ring that yields deeper insight into the physical origin of the observed transport effects, including the unique behavior exhibited by the lowest ring subband in the normal and topological (i.e., band-inverted) regimes. Our work provides a unified approach to characterizing confined Dirac electrons, which can be used to explore the design of valley- and spintronic devices based on quantum interference and the confinement-tunable geometric phase.

Dropping F-Bombs: Canadian Feminist Foreign Policy from Harper to Trudeau and Beyond
Creators: name: Laird, Rowan Alexandra
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: This paper elucidates important similarities and differences in the Harper (2006-2015) and Trudeau (2015-present) Governments’ use of feminist foreign policy. Since the Trudeau Government took power in 2015, it has often presented itself as a feminist government. But what does it mean to practice a feminist foreign policy? Does the Trudeau Government’s shiny new rhetoric on feminist foreign policy signal true change, or is it simply a more progressive spin on the Harper Government’s approach? This paper undertakes a feminist critical discourse analysis of the Harper and Trudeau Governments’ approaches. Methodologically, this paper draws upon a wide evidence base from both Canada and abroad, including official policy documents, speeches, budget and fiscal documents, parliamentary reports, social media, and news coverage to arrive at a fuller understanding of the nature and magnitude of any shifts in Canadian feminist foreign policy between Harper and Trudeau. Overall, the paper aims to provide a reckoning of the Trudeau Government’s self-identified feminist foreign policy credentials to date, particularly in its rhetoric, policy, and actions. Broadly speaking, the paper moves through four main stages. First, it outlines the theoretical underpinnings of feminist international relations (IR) and feminist foreign policy, casting light on what feminist foreign policy is. Second, it explores the motivations and intentions of states (including Canada) when they practice a feminist foreign policy. Thirdly, it examines the credentials of the Trudeau Government’s feminist foreign policy, particularly in comparison to the Harper Government’s. Fourthly, it concludes with policy recommendations for Canadian feminist foreign policy as it moves forward in a precarious world order. Ultimately, this paper will find that the Trudeau Government’s use of feminist foreign policy is significantly different than the Harper Government’s use of feminist foreign policy, especially in its use of rhetoric and in its attempts to be intersectional, but the actual results of these different intentions remain to be seen.

description: The moduli space of objects of a dg-category, T, is a derived stack introduced in (31) that paramatrizes "pseudo-perfect T [superscript op] -modules." This construction extends to a Morita invariant functor, [mathematical forumla], which is right adjoint to the functor that assigns to a derived stack it's dg-category of perfect complexes. In this thesis we are primarily concerned with the behavior of semi-orthogonal decompositions of dg categories under this functor. We show that when a dg category, C has a semi-orthogonal decomposition, H⁰ (C) =< H⁰(C₀), H⁰ (C₁) >, the moduli space of objects in C can be expressed as a certain pullback of stacks involving the moduli spaces of objects in C₀ and C₁. We also present a result on the cofibrant generation of a certain model category obtained as the total space of the Grothendieck fibration associated to the "module category" functor mapping a derived ring to its model category of modules.

description: En el derecho se ha planteado la posibilidad de reconocer a seres vivos no humanos como sujetos de derecho en contraposición a la tradicional postura antropocéntrica de reconocérsele como objeto. En Colombia este reconocimiento se ha dado a partir de diversos pronunciamientos por parte de Altas Cortes, tribunales y juzgados, los cuales han realizado una interpretación ecocéntrica de nuestra Constitución “Ecológica”. Sin embargo, un estudio detallado de los casos en que se ha evaluado el reconocimiento o no a una parte de la naturaleza como sujeto de derechos, muestra la debilidad de sus consecuencias jurídicas y su variación en el estándar de protección en el marco de las competencias administrativas de las entidades públicas, encontrando así las causas de casos tan disímiles y la falta de coherencia jurídica y filosófica respecto de tal reconocimiento.
description: The law has proposed the possibility of recognizing non-human living beings as subjects of rights in contrast to the anthropocentrically traditional posture of recognize them like an object. In Colombia, that recognition has happened since the diverse declarations by high courts, tribunals, and judges, which have done an ecocentric interpretation of our “Ecologic” Constitution. However, a detailed study of the cases, in which the recognizing or not of one part of nature as a subject of rights has been evaluated. So, it shows the debility of legal consequences and the variation in the protection standard in the context of administrative competences of the public institutions. Finally, it finds the causes of dissimilar cases and the loss of juridical and philosophic coherence about that acknowledgment.

description: We prove that, if $G$ is a second-countable topological group with a compatible right-invariant metric $d$ and $(μ_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is a sequence of compactly supported Borel probability measures on $G$ converging to invariance with respect to the mass transportation distance over $d$ and such that $\left(\mathrm{spt} \, μ_{n}, d\!\!\upharpoonright_{\mathrm{spt} \, μ_{n}}, μ_{n}\!\!\upharpoonright_{\mathrm{spt} \, μ_{n}}\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ concentrates to a fully supported, compact $mm$-space $\left(X,d_{X},μ_{X}\right)$, then $X$ is homeomorphic to a $G$-invariant subspace of the Samuel compactification of $G$. In particular, this confirms a conjecture by Pestov and generalizes a well-known result by Gromov and Milman on the extreme amenability of topological groups. Furthermore, we exhibit a connection between the average orbit diameter of a metrizable flow of an arbitrary amenable topological group and the limit of Gromov's observable diameters along any net of Borel probability measures UEB-converging to invariance over the group.

Repulsion of determinantal point processes and stationary Poisson tessellations in high dimensions

description: In this dissertation, new results on stochastic geometric models in high dimensional space are presented. We first concentrate on a particular class of repulsive point processes called determinantal point processes (DPPs). We establish a coupling of a DPP and its reduced Palm version showing the repulsive effect of a point of the point process. This is used for discussing the degree of repulsiveness in DPPs, including Ginibre point processes and other specific parametric models for DPPs. We then study this repulsion for stationary DPPs in high dimensional Euclidean space. It is shown that for many families of DPPs, a typical point has no repulsive effect with high probability for large space dimension n. It is also proved that for some DPPs there exists an R* such that the repulsive effect occurs at a distance of [square root] nR* with high probability for large n. This R* is interpreted as the asymptotic reach of repulsion of the DPP. Examples of DPPs exhibiting this behavior are presented and an application to high dimensional Boolean models is given. The second half of this dissertation examines zero cells of stationary Poisson tessellations. First, a stationary stochastic geometric model is proposed for analyzing one-bit data compression. The data is assumed to be an unconstrained stationary set, and each data point is compressed using one bit with respect to each hyperplane in a stationary and isotropic Poisson hyperplane tessellation. Size metrics of the zero cell of the tessellation are studied to determine how the intensity of hyperplanes must scale with dimension to ensure sufficient separation of different data by the hyperplanes or sufficient proximity of the data compressed together. The results have direct implications in compressive sensing and source coding. We then study the concentration of the norm of a random vector Y uniformly sampled in the centered zero cell of a stationary random tessellation in high dimensions. It is shown that for a stationary and isotropic Poisson-Voronoi tessellation, [mathematical equation] approaches one as the dimension approaches infinity. For a stationary and isotropic Poisson hyperplane tessellation, we prove that [mathematical equation] will be within a fixed range (R [subscript ℓ], R [subscript u]) with probability approaching one as dimension n tends to infinity.
Coal-Fired Power Plant's Air Quality Impact and Policy Implications - What Does the Ontario's Historical Data Tell Us ?
Creators: name: Wang, Mengrou
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Coal-fired power plants, as important electricity sources, accounted for 38 percent of global electricity and 9 percent of Canada’s electricity in 2017. However, the combustion of coal produces a lot of air pollutants and greenhouse gases that impose serious air quality, climate change and health risks on human beings and natural environment. Using Ontario’s historical dataset from 2010 to 2014, this paper finds that the increase of 100 Megawatt’s electricity from coal plants per hour would increase the hourly PM2.5 concentration by 0.06 ug/m3, NOx and SO2 by 0.13 ppb and 0.057 ppb significantly. It also finds that during the hours when the wind blows from the coal plants to the air pollutant monitors, the PM2.5 and NOx level would be higher. Compared to the further areas, the monitors within 50km from the coal plants have more serious PM2.5 and SO2 concentrations. This paper estimates that if Ontario would still have operated the three coal plants included in this study in 2015, it would have caused 219 heart disease deaths and 12 stroke deaths due to PM2.5 in the populous cities within 100km from the plants, in condition that the three plants generate electricity in the average hourly output level. Facing with coal plants’ air quality and health impacts, this paper suggests that for the provinces in Canada that still have coal plants, it is necessary to think about controlling the air pollutants from coal by shutting down the coal plants in the long-term, or at least relocating the plants or installing some control devices in the short-term, depending on different conditions each province has.
Robust Inference for Seemingly Unrelated Regression Models

description: Seemingly unrelated regression models generalize linear regression models by considering multiple regression equations that are linked by contemporaneously correlated disturbances. Robust inference for seemingly unrelated regression models is considered. MM-estimators are introduced to obtain estimators that have both a high breakdown point and a high normal efficiency. A fast and robust bootstrap procedure is developed to obtain robust inference for these estimators. Confidence intervals for the model parameters as well as hypothesis tests for linear restrictions of the regression coefficients in seemingly unrelated regression models are constructed. Moreover, in order to evaluate the need for a seemingly unrelated regression model, a robust procedure is proposed to test for the presence of correlation among the disturbances. The performance of the fast and robust bootstrap inference is evaluated empirically in simulation studies and illustrated on real data.

description: We prove topological regularity results for isoperimetric sets in PI spaces having a suitable deformation property, which prescribes a control on the increment of the perimeter of sets under perturbations with balls. More precisely, we prove that isoperimetric sets are open, satisfy boundary density estimates and, under a uniform lower bound on the volumes of unit balls, are bounded. Our results apply, in particular, to the class of possibly collapsed $\mathrm{RCD}(K,N)$ spaces. As a consequence, the rigidity in the isoperimetric inequality on possibly collapsed $\mathrm{RCD}(0,N)$ spaces with Euclidean volume growth holds without the additional assumption on the boundedness of isoperimetric sets. Our strategy is of interest even in the Euclidean setting, as it simplifies some classical arguments.

description: We exhibit a percolating ergodic and isotropic lattice model in all but at least two dimensions that has zero effective conductivity in all spatial directions and for all non-trivial choices of the connectivity parameter. The model is based on the so-called randomly stretched lattice where we additionally elongate layers containing few open edges.

description: We prove a Liouville-type theorem for biharmonic maps from a complete Riemannian manifold of dimension \(n\) that has a lower bound on its Ricci curvature and positive injectivity radius into a Riemannian manifold whose sectional curvature is bounded from above. Under these geometric assumptions we show that if the $L^p$-norm of the tension field is bounded and the $n$-energy of the map is sufficiently small then every biharmonic map must be harmonic, where \(2

description: This report presents four best practices for the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) program. These best practices were identified through interviews with emergency management agencies across the United States. The WEA "Go Live" Checklist identifies key steps that an emergency management agency should perform when implementing WEA in a local jurisdiction and provides guidance for completing each action. The WEA Training and Drilling Guide identifies the steps for preparing staff to use WEA and includes suggestions shared by alerting authorities that have implemented WEA. The WEA Governance Guide identifies steps for using or preparing to use WEA to ensure coordination between participating alerting agencies. The WEA Cybersecurity Risk Management (CSRM) Strategy describes a strategy that alert originators can use throughout WEA adoption, operations, and sustainment, as well as a set of governance activities for developing a plan to execute the CSRM. Because best practices will evolve as WEA matures and becomes more widely used, an appendix provides information on how a best practice–driven organization can search for best practices, adapt them to the local context, and adopt them for everyday use.
De presencias vivas y aperturas vulnerables : un acercamiento a la experiencia encarnada de las mujeres haciendo trabajo de campo antropológico en Colombia

description: Este trabajo de investigación explora la experiencia de las mujeres al realizar trabajo de campo antropológico en Colombia mediante la revisión documental y la conversación a viva voz con colegas diversas. De los encuentros que suscitó este proceso emergen múltiples posibilidades de pensar en la experiencia común de las mujeres: desde la conceptualización del trabajo de campo como un viaje de relacionamiento (no de conocimiento como los viajeros de antaño) hasta la construcción del concepto de presencia viva como clave para entender el relacionamiento en campo desde la vulnerabilidad y la co-transformación con lo otro de tres maneras distintas. La primera, que argumenta cómo se construye la presencia desde el pasado; la segunda, que desarrolla los diversos escenarios que surgen de la interactividad entre presencias vivas que se gesta en el campo; y la tercera, que esboza las estrategias inventivas y exploratorias que han desarrollado las mujeres para desenvolverse en el quehacer del campo desde el concepto del cacharreo. Esta tesis, además, se sitúa en una creciente corriente de aportes a la antropología desde la pregunta por la propia experiencia al volverla materia del pensamiento teórico para trazar criterios y generar discusiones alrededor del propio ejercicio disciplinar.
description: This research work explores the experience of women doing anthropological fieldwork in Colombia through a documentary review and a live conversation with diverse colleagues. From the encounters that this process provoked, multiple possibilities of thinking about the common experience of women emerge: from the conceptualization of fieldwork as a journey of relationship (not of knowledge like the travelers of the old times) to the construction of the concept of living presence as a key to understand the relationship in the field from the vulnerability and co-transformation with the other in three different ways. The first, which argues how presence is constructed from the past; the second, which develops the various scenarios that arise from the interactivity between living presences that is generated in the field; and the third, which outlines the inventive and exploratory strategies that women have developed to perform in the field from the concept of cacharreo. This thesis, in addition, is situated in a growing current of contributions to anthropology from the question of one's own experience by turning it into a matter of theoretical thought to outline criteria and generate discussions around the disciplinary exercise itself.
Thermodynamics of a class of regular black holes with a generalized uncertainty principle

description: In this article, we present a study on thermodynamics of a class of regular black holes. Such a class includes Bardeen and Hayward regular black holes. We obtained thermodynamic quantities like the Hawking temperature, entropy, and heat capacity for the entire class. As part of an effort to indicate some physical observable to distinguish regular black holes from singular black holes, we suggest that regular black holes are colder than singular black holes. Besides, contrary to the Schwarzschild black hole, that class of regular black holes may be thermodynamically stable. From a generalized uncertainty principle, we also obtained the quantum-corrected thermodynamics for the studied class. Such quantum corrections provide a logarithmic term for the quantum-corrected entropy.

Canadian Human Trafficking: Assessing the Government's 2019 National Strategy for Enforcement, Prevention, and Supporting Survivors.
Creators: name: Dyment, Olivier
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2021

description: In 2018, the Canadian Federal Government announced the National Strategy to Combat Human Trafficking 2019-2024. The implementation of this strategy would include an investment of $75 million over 6 years towards addressing the issue of human trafficking in Canada. Of those funds, $14.51 million were earmarked for the establishment of a national hotline which could refer survivors to services, while the rest would be used to fill service gaps and enhance existing programs. The goal of this paper is to examine what impact, if any, this policy and the implementation of the hotline has had or can be expected to have on the state of human trafficking in Canada. To that end, an original study was conducted interviewing 8 expertpractitioners working either in the fields of education and advocacy or as frontline service providers helping to support survivors. Having gathered the impressions of these expertpractitioners, this MRP aims to provide some evidence that could be used to shape future policy priorities, given the consistent dearth of federal data on human trafficking in Canada. The results of this research show that expert-practitioners in Canada largely agree on what priorities the government should pursue in attempting to address the issue and share skepticism about the importance of the funding increase and implementation of the national hotline. While some respondents felt more strongly than others, they almost universally criticized the national strategy for failing to take on a survivor-centred approach, or one that would work more broadly to redresses the vulnerabilities which support human trafficking. Their responses also revealed a pervasive lack of awareness regarding the hotline and a disconnect from the federal government and its efforts. Finally, the study concluded that a long-term solution to the problem of human trafficking will require Canadians to address the role of sex work in society.
