Romania, Bulgaria, The United States and the European Union: The Rules of Empowerment at the Outskirts of Europe
Creators: Neacsu, Dana
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2005
Subjects: International relations

description: After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States came to Eastern Europe spreading the gospel of democracy and the American Rule of Law. In addition to encouraging Western ideology, the United States was there to forge new economic relationships and, following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, to accelerate the creation of military alliances through membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the newly-formed "coalition of the willing." Romania and Bulgaria, among other former Soviet satellites, welcomed the invitation. Romania and Bulgaria are small countries which share similar economic pressures as they attempt to emerge from troubled political histories. When the United States, with its military budget of $ 399 billion, approached Romania and Bulgaria seeking support for its global war against terror, both countries experienced a major transformation on a local and international level. In what seems like a perfect example of Andy Warhol's notoriety allotment, for fifteen minutes the West gazed at them in disbelief.

description: We calculate the $π$, $ρ$, $ω$, and $γ$ coupling constants between the heavy meson doublets $(1^-,2^-)$ and (0^-,1^-)/(0^+,1^+) within the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rule at the leading order of heavy quark effective theory. Most of the sum rules are stable with the variations of the Borel parameter and the continuum threshold. Then we calculate the strong and electromagnetic decay widths of the $(1^-,2^-)$ D-wave heavy mesons. Their total widths are around several tens of MeV, which is helpful in the future experimental search.

description: There are many ways in which libraries, as vital centers of knowledge, can revitalize their academic role. Publishing is one of them. As James M. Donovan and I recently revealed in our forthcoming article in the Journal of Law and Education, (" Academic Law Libraries and Scholarship: Communication, Publishing, and Ranking) ," law journal publishing by law school libraries is already on our radar. What is not yet on our radar is book publishing. For instance, Columbia Law School Professor Katharina Pistor's book, Law in the Time of COVID , is a perfect example. Neither the content production nor the publication required any direct financial investment. All contributors were faculty members. The various copy editors were also Columbia Law School faculty. The publishing was done by Columbia Law School Library employees.

description: The crystal structure and physical properties of BaFe2As2, BaCo2As2, and BaNi2As2 single crystals are surveyed. BaFe2As2 gives a magnetic and structural transition at TN = 132(1) K, BaCo2As2 is a paramagnetic metal, while BaNi2As2 has a structural phase transition at T0 = 131 K, followed by superconductivity below Tc = 0.69 K. The bulk superconductivity in Co-doped BaFe2As2 below Tc = 22 K is demonstrated by resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat data. In contrast to the cuprates, the Fe-based system appears to tolerate considerable disorder in the transition metal layers. First principles calculations for BaFe1.84Co0.16As2 indicate the inter-band scattering due to Co is weak.

Tempest in a teacup or the mystique of sexual legal discourse

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law
subject: Women's studies

description: This article is about sex; but not about sex meaning gender, an adjective, or “that thing we are.” It is about sexual behavior. It is, in Professor Franke's words, about sex as verb--“that thing we do”--or, to quote Judge Posner, it is about that “quintessential private activity [of] our culture.” However, it does not focus on sex as “the ultimate animal necessity.” That would be the realm of today's talk shows headed by Jerry Springer and his ilk. Instead, it focuses on the pervasiveness of sexual discourse in the legal realm and tries to explain the reason behind it. This article suggests that sex has become a human behavior that is often legally sanctioned because it offers itself to endless and various permissive and restrictive regulations. Furthermore, policing sex requires little infrastructure, unlike, say, a war in Iraq or improving the public school system. Allowing permissive sex legislation is also less expensive. Moreover, like thirst and hunger and irrespective of any regulation, sex will continue its old ways, whether heterosexual or homosexual, reproductive or amative.

Modified HOM interferometers are the basis for a number of seminal quantum-interference effects. Here, the corresponding modifications to CPI allow for the first observation of classical analogues to the HOM peak and quantum beating. They also allow a new classical technique for generating phase super-resolution exhibiting a coherence length dramatically longer than that of the laser light, analogous to increased two-photon coherence lengths in entangled states.

description: A stock loan is a loan, secured by a stock, which gives the borrower the right to redeem the stock at any time before or on the loan maturity. The way of dividends distribution has a significant effect on the pricing of the stock loan and the optimal redeeming strategy adopted by the borrower. We present the pricing models sub ject to various ways of dividend distribution. Since closed-form price formulas are generally not available, we provide a thorough analysis to examine the optimal redeeming strategy. Numerical results are presented as well.

description: This paper contends that even as jurists invoke the official canonic version of the legal text, it is in danger of being replaced for the jurist, as well as for the lay person, if it has not been substituted already, by some apocryphal, inauthentic or casual text. We argue that in addition to the approximate nature of legal knowledge, the overuse of overedited and perverted casebooks, as well as the distribution of legal information among imperfect sources – some official but partial, others inauthentic but highly accessible, and a few reliable but highly unaffordable commercial sources – are largely responsible for this situation.
Assessment of peripheral blood components as predictive biomarkers of radiation-induced lung injury in four mouse models
Creators: name: Popescu, Sandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Purpose: Thoracic radiotherapy may lead to significant injury to nor- mal lung tissue. Herein, this thesis modelled the onset of distress following high-dose thoracic radiation in two congenic mouse strains with varying post-irradiation survival time and assessed blood traits for a predictor of radiation-induced lung injury. Methods: Pneum1 and Radpf1 mice were given 14 Gy to the whole thorax in-house using the RS2000 small animal irradiation unit (225 kVp; 1.625 Gy/min), or remained as controls. Irradiated and control mice were monitored weekly and euthanized 1 week post irradiation, 16 weeks post irradiation and at experimental end. Blood was collected at time of sacrifice for a Complete Blood Count and Mammalian Comprehensive Chemistry tests. Additional to in-house data, blood data for C57BL/6 and C3H/HeJ mice was surveyed from the Mouse Phenome Database to determine a correlation between blood traits in four mouse strains and their known survival time following lung irradiation. Results: Female Pneum1 and Radpf1 mice differed in survival time following 14 Gy thoracic radiation. In these strains, only serum globulin and sodium measured in control mice of 24-25 weeks of age differed significantly by strain (p<0.0001 and p=0.0004) and correlated with survival with marginal significance (p=0.09 and p=0.07). Neutrophil and lymphocyte differentials measured in control C57BL/6, C3H/HeJ, Pneum1, and Radpf1 mice of 8 -10 weeks of age significantly differed by strain (p<0.0001) and correlated with survival with marginal significance (p=0.08 and p=0.06). Conclusion: Blood traits assessed in this thesis were not found to significantly correlate with survival following thoracic radiation. No predictive biomarkers of radiation-induced lung injury were found.

description: In this paper the the effect of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and anisotropy on the Entanglement of Heisenberg chain has been studied. While the anisotropy suppress the entanglement due to favoring of the alignment of spins, the DM interaction restores the spoiled entanglement via creation of the quantum fluctuations. Thermodynamic limit of the model and emerging of non-analytic behavior of the entanglement have also been probed. The singularities of the entanglement correspond to the critical boundary separating different phases of the model. The singularity of the entanglement derivative approaches the critical point from the gapped phase and will be symmetric if both phase on the boundary are gapped.

description: Abstract Following Wittgenstein’s call to imagine law as a way of life (1958), we can envisage environmental law and environmentalism as a way of living beautifully. Employing George Santayana’s aesthetic theory (1896, 1905, 1910), this article explores environmentally engaged citizenship as more than a mere ideological manifestation of subjectivity. A multifaceted relationship between individuals and their environment, it manifests itself through their ideology, political subjectivity, but also through aesthetic subjectivity. Using Juliana v. USA as a case study, this article examines civic engagement taking into consideration its deeply ideological and aesthetic nature.

description: Experimental tests of Bell's inequality allow to distinguish quantum mechanics from local hidden variable theories. Such tests are performed by measuring correlations of two entangled particles (e.g. polarization of photons or spins of atoms). In order to constitute conclusive evidence, two conditions have to be satisfied. First, strict separation of the measurement events in the sense of special relativity is required ("locality loophole"). Second, almost all entangled pairs have to be detected (for particles in a maximally entangled state the required detector efficiency is 82.8%), which is hard to achieve experimentally ("detection loophole"). By using the recently demonstrated entanglement between single trapped atoms and single photons it becomes possible to entangle two atoms at a large distance via entanglement swapping. Combining the high detection efficiency achieved with atoms with the space-like separation of the atomic state detection events, both loopholes can be closed within the same experiment. In this paper we present estimations based on current experimental achievements which show that such an experiment is feasible in future.

description: When a single resonator is coupled to a continuous spectrum one obtains a resonance of finite half-width. Such a resonance is known in many fields of physics. The Friedel resonance is an example where a d-impurity is dissolved in a simple metal. If two resonators are coupled to the continuous spectrum the resonances interfere. For identical coupling and frequencies one obtains two effective resonances. The effective coupling of one of them to the continuum can be tuned to zero yielding a delta-like resonance.

description: Clusters of galaxies have not yet been detected at gamma-ray frequencies; however, the recently launched Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, formerly known as GLAST, could provide the first detections in the near future. Clusters are expected to emit gamma rays as a result of (1) a population of high-energy primary and re-accelerated secondary cosmic rays (CR) fueled by structure formation and merger shocks, active galactic nuclei and supernovae, and (2) particle dark matter (DM) annihilation. In this paper, we ask the question of whether the Fermi telescope will be able to discriminate between the two emission processes. We present data-driven predictions for a large X-ray flux limited sample of galaxy clusters and groups. We point out that the gamma ray signals from CR and DM can be comparable. In particular, we find that poor clusters and groups are the systems predicted to have the highest DM to CR emission at gamma-ray energies. Based on detailed Fermi simulations, we study observational handles that might enable us to distinguish the two emission mechanisms, including the gamma-ray spectra, the spatial distribution of the signal and the associated multi-wavelength emissions. We also propose optimal hardness ratios, which will help to understand the nature of the gamma-ray emission. Our study indicates that gamma rays from DM annihilation with a high particle mass can be distinguished from a CR spectrum even for fairly faint sources. Discriminating a CR spectrum from a light DM particle will be instead much more difficult, and will require long observations and/or a bright source. While the gamma-ray emission from our simulated clusters is extended, determining the spatial distribution with Fermi will be a challenging task requiring an optimal control of the backgrounds.

Year: 2023

description: This study explored the qualities of home-based childcare in England from the perspectives of qualified nannies and registered childminders. An initial framing of key characteristics and qualities of home-based childcare was drawn from extant literature. An online questionnaire was developed and distributed among members of professional networks. This resulted in 99 full responses from qualified nannies and registered childminders based in England, with a total of 856 individual replies across the 20 items of the questionnaire. The questionnaire was followed up with an online focus group discussion in which six nannies participated. Thematic analyses of the questionnaire and focus group data were synthesised to identify overarching themes and their sub-themes. The findings of this study corroborated previous research findings revealing that home-based childcare is a flexible and affordable service that enables parental employment, serves as a parental substitute, nurtures child wellbeing and promotes learning. It is underpinned by strong relationships, a distinct pedagogy and unique structural and contextual qualities. This study also offers further insights into the personal attributes of home-based educarers and their role as professional knowledge brokers, supporting parents with their parenting and with personal and family challenges. As such, home-based childcare is conceptualised as a support system for families, which goes beyond caring for children.

description: We analyze a system of two qubits embedded in two different environments. The qubits are coupled to each other and driven on-resonance by two external classical sources. In the secular limit, we obtain exact analytical results for the evolution of the system for several classes of two-qubit mixed initial states. For Werner states we show that the decay of entanglement does not depend on coupling. For other initial states with ``{\sf X}\rq\rq -type density matrices we find that the sudden death time displays a rich dependence on the coupling energy and state parameters due to the existence of processes of delayed sudden birth of entanglement.

The political value of knowledge and the elite schools' curricula: To ignore or not to ignore Marxism
Creators: Neacsu, Dana
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Law
subject: FOS: Law
subject: Education, Higher

description: This article focuses on the content of elite law schools' curricula. Like all such debates,  this one also reflects the author's political and social concerns, which at this time are questioning the impact such curricula have on the graduates' abilities to deliberate "upon the full range of issues which might appear directly or indirectly on a less impoverished [contemporary] political agenda." Elite law schools, which are usually associated with elite universities, are expected to offer liberal legal education. Elite law schools are the fountain of legal scholarship. They are also the place where many of this nation's leaders acquire both legal knowledge about truth and ideologies -- lenses through which they see the world, form their beliefs and then act accordingly. This author understands the goals of liberal education to translate John Stuart Mill's principle of "market of ideas" into a content-rich curriculum. As Mill wrote, "the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it." To the contrary, this article argues, currently elite law schools have abandoned Mill's principle. They favor a more limited version, one that excludes uncomfortable theories, such as Marxism. Omitting Marx's writings, this article argues, is not an innocuous curricular reduction. If theories are subjective constructs -- "academic elites make theories in their own image," then a curriculum stripped of a theory that emphasizes a different perspective about legal phenomena risks being perceived as a mere exercise in cultural hegemony. Our society is still based on classes that are identified economically, and our law still has to govern the behavior of people with different economic constraints. For example, Marx's writings, as argued here, make it easier to articulate why a rational choice for those who rely on public services is to favor progressive taxation, and for those who rely on private services, tax cuts.

description: Chirped-pulse interferometry is a new interferometric technique encapsulating the advantages of the quantum Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer without the drawbacks of using entangled photons. Both interferometers can exhibit even-order dispersion cancellation which allows high resolution optical delay measurements even in thick optical samples. In the present work, we show that finite frequency correlations in chirped-pulse interferometry and Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry limit the degree of dispersion cancellation. Our results are important considerations in designing practical devices based on these technologies.

description: If feminist legal theory were to face its legacy today, it would see that its tremendous value rests in its means more than in its ends. True, it has produced palpable results for its promoters domestically. It satisfied many feminists' discrete incremental requests, from Women's History Month to a limited right to bear or beget. While feminism partially satisfied well-identified gendered demands, it has ignored their “base” or frame. I argue that it has ignored basic calls for social justice. As shown here, how gendered demands are satisfied depends on whether basic demands for food and shelter have even been formulated. Once those basic demands for social justice are part of the public discourse, gendered wants can easily become visible, and be formulated in addition to the basic ones, rather than instead of them. Legal feminism needs to see how those basic demands enable the very existence of gendered demands in the same way “grammatical rules are the indispensable base for our free thought[s]” or our conception about the rule of law is the base for our rights-based system. Absent such basic demands, the gendered ones are castrated of the potential influence they can exercise on all their intended beneficiaries and the society at large.
Modelling the impact of human development and water quality on hypoxia
Creators: name: Ramirez, Samantha Zeane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Streams are subject to a variety of impacts as a consequence of human development which disrupt ecosystem processes and can lead to habitat change and species loss (Dos Reis Oliveira et al., 2019; Marques et al., 2019). Associated negative impacts include nutrient enrichment, increased light availability and water temperatures, and the alteration of channel structure and stream flow (Zhi et al., 2023; Mueller et al., 2005). Water quality is a good indicator of stream health, and was measured using various parameters, including nitrogen and phosphorus concentration, and DO concentrations. To understand the effects of nutrient enrichment (eutrophication) on stream metabolism and fish habitat, I measured key water quality parameters every month from May to August at 37 lower Fraser Valley stream sites. Overall patterns of water quality across the summer low-flow recession indicate increasing hypoxia associated with declining flow and water surface turbulence, high algal production and respiration associated with nutrient enrichment, and lack of canopy cover. One novel insight of this study is the limiting effect of hypoxia on aquatic plant and algal production; moderate increases in total P appear to stimulate plant and algal growth until moderate to severely hypoxic conditions occur (DO < 2 mg/L), causing total P to switch from a stimulating to inhibitory effect on algal and heterotroph production. Results showed that the likelihood of hypoxia is greater than 50% when total P exceeds ~0.06 mg/L, when discharge is less than ~0.05 m³·sec⁻¹, when mean K is less than 4 (m d⁻¹), when total N is greater than 1 mg/L, and when water column depth exceeds 0.7 m. Conserving water quality is a particularly important issue in streams where Species at Risk and other sensitive species occur (i.e., salmonid species, and listed taxa like Salish Sucker (Catostomus sp. cf. catostomus), and Nooksack Dace (Rhinichthys cataractae )). It is necessary to better understand the interaction between human impacts and water quality to minimize further fish and fish habitat loss in a changing environment. The widespread hypoxia observed in lower Fraser Valley streams indicates a failure by responsible agencies to address this pivotal conservation issue.

description: This presentation was held at the Thermal EO 2023 workshop (https://thermal2023.esa.int/) on 11 May 2023 by Jacob Høyer (DMI), member of the GHRSST Science Team and of the GHRSST Project Office. The Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature grew out of a GODAE Pilot Project, 1997-2008. GHRSST is an open international science group: it coordinates research and operational developments in satellite-derived sea-surface temperature (SST) and it promotes the application of satellites for monitoring SST by enabling SST data producers, users and scientists to collaborate within an agreed framework of best practices. GHRSST requirements for future high resolution of sea-surface temperature missions have been discussed and shared with the SST community. GHRSST is also welcoming new inputs on this topic at its next International SST Users' Symposium & GHRSST international Science Team Meeting to be held in Ahmedabad (India), in-person and online, 16-20 October 2023, hosted by ISRO. The call for abstracts is now open! https://www.ghrsst.org/ghrsst-news/submit-your-abstract-for-the-international-sst-user-symposium-and-ghrsst-international-science-team-meeting-ghrsst24/

description: Context: Photometric observations for the OGLE-II microlens monitoring campaign have been taken in the period 1997-2000. All light curves of this campaign have recently been made public. Our analysis of these data has revealed 13 low-amplitude transiting objects among ~15700 stars in three Carina fields towards the galactic disk. One of these objects, OGLE2-TR-L9 (P~2.5 days), turned out to be an excellent transiting planet candidate. Aims: In this paper we report on our investigation of the true nature of OGLE2-TR-L9, by re-observing the photometric transit with the aim to determine the transit parameters at high precision, and by spectroscopic observations, to estimate the properties of the host star, and to determine the mass of the transiting object through radial velocity measurements. Methods: High precision photometric observations have been obtained in g', r', i', and z' band simultaneously, using the new GROND detector, mounted on the MPI/ESO 2.2m telescope at La Silla. Eight epochs of high-dispersion spectroscopic observations were obtained using the fiber-fed FLAMES/UVES Echelle spectrograph, mounted on ESO's Very Large Telescope at Paranal. Results: The photometric transit, now more than 7 years after the last OGLE-II observations, was re-discovered only ~8 minutes from its predicted time. The primary object is a fast rotating F3 star, with vsini=39.33+-0.38 km/s, T=6933+-58 K, log g = 4.25+-0.01, and [Fe/H] = -0.05+-0.20. The transiting object is an extrasolar planet with M_p=4.5+-1.5 M_Jup and R_p=1.61+-0.04 R_Jup. The rejection of possible blend scenarios was based on a quantitative analysis of the multi-color photometric data [abridged].

Fermionic reductions of the AdS4 x CP3 superstring

description: We discuss fermionic reductions of type IIA superstrings on AdS4 x CP3 in relation to the conjectured AdS4/CFT3 duality. The superstring theory is described by means of a coset model construction, which is classically integrable. We discuss the global light-cone symmetries of the action and related kappa-symmetry gauge choices, and also present the complete quartic action in covariant form with respect to these. Further, we study integrable (fermionic) reductions, in particular, a reduction yielding a quadratic action of two complex fermions on the string world-sheet. Interestingly, this model appears to be exactly the same as the corresponding integrable reduction found in the AdS5 x S5 case.

Outcomes following perioperative stroke in noncardiac and cardiac surgical patients
Creators: name: Farmer, Jaycee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Background: Perioperative stroke is a cerebrovascular event occurring during or after surgery that can result in devastating and often unrecoverable outcomes. The primary objective of this thesis project was to identify independent predictors of 30-day mortality, adverse discharge, and length of hospital stay (LOS) in both noncardiac and cardiac surgery patients. The secondary objective was to examine temporal trends in poor outcome throughout the study period. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included noncardiac and cardiac surgical patients who experienced a perioperative stroke in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database between 2005 and 2020. The data included patient demographics, comorbidities, stroke as well as surgical and anesthetic variables. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was used to examine variables associated with 30-day mortality (primary outcome), adverse discharge (death or a non-home facility, only available after 2010), and LOS in multivariable logistic models. Results: We identified 14,386 noncardiac and 906 cardiac surgical patients who experienced a perioperative stroke meeting our inclusion criteria. Mortality rates were 24.6% and 14.8% for noncardiac and cardiac stroke patients, respectively. Median [interquartile range] LOS was 9 [4–21] days for noncardiac patients and 13 [9–21] days for cardiac patients. Independent predictors associated with increased risk of mortality after stroke in both cohorts included increasing age, postoperative comorbidities, perioperative transfusion, and fewer days from operation to stroke. Operation year was associated with decreased LOS in both noncardiac and cardiac stroke populations, but not mortality or adverse discharge. Conclusion: We identified several independent predictors of poor outcome following perioperative stroke in noncardiac and cardiac surgical patients, including potentially modifiable risk factors such as perioperative transfusion and concurrent postoperative complications. These findings are novel and warrant further investigation to identify mechanisms and possible interventions to improve outcomes after perioperative stroke.

Central Charge and Quasihole Scaling Dimensions From Model Wavefunctions: Towards Relating Jack Wavefunctions to W-algebras

description: We present a general method to obtain the central charge and quasihole scaling dimension directly from groundstate and quasihole wavefunctions. Our method applies to wavefunctions satisfying specific clustering properties. We then use our method to examine the relation between Jack symmetric functions and certain W-algebras. We add substantially to the evidence that the (k,r) admissible Jack functions correspond to correlators of the conformal field theory W_k(k+1,k+r), by calculating the central charge and scaling dimensions of some of the fields in both cases and showing that they match. For the Jacks described by unitary W-models, the central charge and quasihole exponents match the ones previously obtained from analyzing the physics of the edge excitations. For the Jacks described by non-unitary W-models the central charge and quasihole scaling dimensions obtained from the wavefunctions differ from the ones obtained from the edge physics, which instead agree with the "effective" central charge of the corresponding W-model.

Publisher: name: Norland

description: This study explored the qualities of home-based childcare in England from the perspectives of qualified nannies and registered childminders. An initial framing of key characteristics and qualities of home-based childcare was drawn from extant literature. An online questionnaire was developed and distributed among members of professional networks. This resulted in 99 full responses from qualified nannies and registered childminders based in England, with a total of 856 individual replies across the 20 items of the questionnaire. The questionnaire was followed up with an online focus group discussion in which six nannies participated. Thematic analyses of the questionnaire and focus group data were synthesised to identify overarching themes and their sub-themes. The findings of this study corroborated previous research findings revealing that home-based childcare is a flexible and affordable service that enables parental employment, serves as a parental substitute, nurtures child wellbeing and promotes learning. It is underpinned by strong relationships, a distinct pedagogy and unique structural and contextual qualities. This study also offers further insights into the personal attributes of home-based educarers and their role as professional knowledge brokers, supporting parents with their parenting and with personal and family challenges. As such, home-based childcare is conceptualised as a support system for families, which goes beyond caring for children.
