description: Αντικείμενο μελέτης της διατριβής είναι η φαντασιακή συγκρότηση της κατοίκησης στη σύγχρονη ελληνική πόλη και ειδικότερα σε τόπους της αστικής περιφέρειας. Πεδίο έρευνας είναι ο οικισμός του Πανοράματος Θεσσαλονίκης (1950-2000). Η διατριβή μελετά τις κατοικίες του οικισμού μέσα από μια μεθοδολογική προσέγγιση ανάγνωσης των αρχιτεκτονικών τους σχεδίων ως κειμένων με τη βοήθεια ενός δεύτερου συστήματος αναπαραστάσεων: τις κινηματογραφικές αναπαραστάσεις της κατοικίας. Στόχος της μελέτης είναι η ανίχνευση και η περιγραφή των μετασχηματισμών του χώρου, της εικόνας και των προσδοκιών για την κατοίκηση στο ελληνικό αστικό φαινόμενο, όπως αυτά εκφράζονται στους τρόπους με τους οποίους δομείται χωρικά (μέσω των αρχιτεκτονικών αναπαραστάσεων) και κοινωνικά/ιδεολογικά (μέσω των κινηματογραφικών αναπαραστάσεων) η αυτόνομη μονοκατοικία. Η διατριβή προτείνει μια διαδικασία διαδοχικών μετασχηματισμών κάθε συνόλου, με στόχο την ανάδειξη των σημαινουσών αρθρώσεων ως ενός δυναμικού εργαλείου διερεύνησης και κατανόησης των νημάτων που πλέκουν τους χώρους της καθημερινότητας.
description: The subject of the thesis is the imaginary formation of dwelling in the contemporary Greek city, looking particularly at sites within the urban periphery. Panorama, in Thessaloniki, comprising mostly free-standing single family homes, is chosen as a case study (1950-2000). The methodological approach adopted to study these houses is that of reading their architectural drawings as texts with the help of a second system of representations: the filmic representations of the home. The aim of the study is to trace the spatial and visual transformations of dwelling in the Greek urban phenomenon, as they are expressed in the tropes through which the single-family home is constituted spatially (the architectural representations) and socially/ ideologically (the filmic representations). A process of consecutive transformations for each body of representations is suggested, so that articulations of space and actions may be brought forth as signifiers; a dynamic tool to study and understand the threads that weave together the spaces of the everyday.

description: Η διατριβή μελετά τις σύγχρονες ταινίες κινούμενων εικόνων και προτείνει έναν συστηματικό τρόπο ανάλυσης, τόσο της αφήγησης όσο και της βαθιάς δομής και της ιδεολογίας τους. Παράλληλα, μελετά την άρθρωση της παραγωγής του σημειωτικού νοήματος με την υλική παραγωγή των ταινιών. Η ανάλυση βασίζεται στη θεωρία και τα μεθοδολογικά εργαλεία της σημειωτικής σχολής Παρισιού και πιο συγκεκριμένα, στη θεωρία του Algirdas Julien Greimas, στη σημειωτική του κινηματογράφου και στην κοινωνική σημειωτική.
description: The dissertation studies the contemporary animation films and proposes a systematic method of analysis of both their narrative and their deep structure and ideology. Moreover, it studies the articulation of the semiotic production of meaning with the material production of the films. The analysis is grounded on the theory and the methodological tools of the Parisian school of semiotics and more specifically, on Algirdas Julien Greimas’ theory, Film semiotics and Social semiotics.

description: Within this work we derive and analyse an expression for the free energy of a single-species system in the thermodynamic limit in terms of a generalised cavity volume, that is exact in general, and in principle applicable to systems across their entire range of density, as well as to particles within a general coordinate space. This provides a universal equation of state, and can thus relate the cavity volume to classical results, such as Mayer's cluster expansions. Through this we are able to provide some insight into the connections between cavity volume and free energy density, as well as their consequences. We use examples which permit explicit computations to further probe these results, reclaiming the exact results for a classical Tonks gas and providing a novel derivation of Onsager's free energy for a single species, isotropic system. Given the complexity of the problem we also provide a local lattice ansatz, exact in one dimension, with which we may approximate the cavity volume for hard sphere systems to provide an accurate equation of state in the cases of hard disks and spheres in both dilute regimes as well as beyond the freezing transition.

description: MnWO4 has attracted attention because of its ferroelectric property induced by frustrated helical spin order. Strong spin-lattice interaction is necessary to explain ferroelectricity associated with this type of magnetic order.We have conducted thermal expansion measurements along the a, b, c axes revealing the existence of strong anisotropic lattice anomalies at T1=7.8 K, the temperature of the magnetic lock-in transition into a commensurate low-temperature (reentrant paraelectric) phase. The effect of hydrostatic pressure up to 1.8 GPa on the FE phase is investigated by measuring the dielectric constant and the FE polarization. The low- temperature commensurate and paraelectric phase is stabilized and the stability range of the ferroelectric phase is diminished under pressure.

Rural development and peasant adaptation : a south China case
Creators: name: Tan, Xiaobing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Strategies of rural development in China experienced sharp changes in the policies for rural economic reform which began in the late 1970s. Contrary to the previous model of a "pure" socialist way of development, which argued for a single developmental path, the reform policies encouraged diversification. Peasant adaptation to the new situation is examined through the co-existence of three kinds of households, namely subsistence cropping households, cash cropping households and partial agricultural households. The thesis attempts to determine the characteristics associated with the different kinds of households by analyzing survey data collected from five townships in the Pearl River Delta of south China. It also attempts to bring out some theoretical implications of the Chinese experiences of rural development in the past forty years.

The three body decay is treated as a quasi two-body process where, at the weak vertex, the D meson decays into a resonance and a pion. The weak part of the decay amplitude is evaluated using the effective weak Hamiltonian within the factorization approximation.

description: There has been considerable interest in properties of condensed matter at finite temperature, including non-equilibrium behavior and extreme conditions up to the warm dense matter regime. Such behavior is encountered, e.g., in experimental time resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in the presence of intense laser fields. In an effort to simulate such behavior, we present an approach for calculations of finite-temperature x-ray absorption spectra in arbitrary materials, using a generalization of the real-space Green's function formalism. The method is incorporated as an option in the core-level x-ray spectroscopy code FEFF10. To illustrate the approach, we present calculations for several materials together with comparisons to experiment and with other methods.

description: We provide a new characterization of mean-variance hedging strategies in a general semimartingale market. The key point is the introduction of a new probability measure $P^{\star}$ which turns the dynamic asset allocation problem into a myopic one. The minimal martingale measure relative to $P^{\star}$ coincides with the variance-optimal martingale measure relative to the original probability measure $P$.

description: The Universe contains approximately 6 times more dark matter than normal baryonic matter, and a directly observed fundamental difference between dark matter and baryons would both be significant for our understanding of dark matter structures and provide us with information about the basic characteristics of the dark matter particle. We discuss one distinctive feature of dark matter structures in equilibrium, namely the property that a local dark matter temperature may depend on direction. This is in stark contrast to baryonic gases. We used X-ray observations of two nearby, relaxed galaxy clusters, under the assumptions of hydrostatic equilibrium and identical dark matter and gas temperatures in the outer cluster region, to measure this dark matter temperature anisotropy beta_dm, with non-parametric Monte Carlo methods. We find that beta_dm is greater than the value predicted for baryonic gases, beta_gas=0, at more than 3 sigma confidence. The observed value of the temperature anisotropy is in fair agreement with the results of cosmological N-body simulations and shows that the equilibration of the dark matter particles is not governed by local point-like interactions in contrast to baryonic gases.

We discuss how to test the violation of Bell's inequality with the generated entanglement. A set of universal quantum gates is shown to be implementable \textit{deterministically} using the entanglement despite the fact that the entangled states can only be created probabilistically.

description: Semantic understanding of programs is a fundamental problem for programming language processing (PLP). Recent works that learn representations of code based on pre-training techniques in NLP have pushed the frontiers in this direction. However, the semantics of PL and NL have essential differences. These being ignored, we believe it is difficult to build a model to better understand programs, by either directly applying off-the-shelf NLP pre-training techniques to the source code, or adding features to the model by the heuristic. In fact, the semantics of a program can be rigorously defined by formal semantics in PL theory. For example, the operational semantics, describes the meaning of a valid program as updating the environment (i.e., the memory address-value function) through fundamental operations, such as memory I/O and conditional branching. Inspired by this, we propose a novel program semantics learning paradigm, that the model should learn from information composed of (1) the representations which align well with the fundamental operations in operational semantics, and (2) the information of environment transition, which is indispensable for program understanding. To validate our proposal, we present a hierarchical Transformer-based pre-training model called OSCAR to better facilitate the understanding of programs. OSCAR learns from intermediate representation (IR) and an encoded representation derived from static analysis, which are used for representing the fundamental operations and approximating the environment transitions respectively. OSCAR empirically shows the outstanding capability of program semantics understanding on many practical software engineering tasks.
The Revelstoke Dam : a case study of the selection, licensing and implementation of a large scale hydroelectric project in British Columbia
Creators: name: Missler, Heidi Erika
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Procedures for the selection, licensing and implementation of large scale energy projects must evolve with the escalating complexity of such projects and. the changing public value system. Government appeared unresponsive to rapidly changing conditions in the 1960s and 1970s. Consequently, approval of major hydroelectric development projects in British Columbia under the Water Act became increasingly more contentious. This led, in 1980, to the introduction of new procedures—the Energy Project Review Process (EPRP) — under the B.C. Utilities Commission Act. This study documents and evaluates the selection, licensing and implementation of the Revelstoke Hydroelectric Dam under the Water Act and assesses to what extent the current EPRP selection and licensing procedure overcame the shortcomings of the Revelstoke experience. The methodological approach used is that of a post-development analysis. The Revelstoke Project case study revealed that the Water Act only addressed project design, safety, and impacts, but not selection and justification. Project implementation proceeded under a conditional water licence. The two-part administrative framework, established under the licence and by B.C. Hydro, lacked integration and failed to provide effective management. A strong commitment to the preservation of environmental quality was lacking. The licensee's monitoring of construction practices in general and of compliance with environmental guidelines, a set of nonspecific commonly accepted construction activities, were inadequate. Governmental surveillance and enforcement were rendered unsatisfactory by staff shortages and a laissez faire attitude. The case study concluded with a post-development environmental analysis, which determined the effectiveness of the Environmental Impact Statement in predicting impacts to be only twenty-five percent. Evaluation of the EPRP and its application in the Site C Dam proposal demonstrated that it is a significant improvement over its predecessor. If applied efficiently and in its entirety, it would provide an adequate structure and procedural sequence for project selection and licensing. However, some of the inadequacies noted in the Revelstoke case study, such the lack of provisions for early public and government participation, an adequate data base, an administrative structure, and a post-development analysis, have not been or only partially corrected. To conclude, this thesis offers some recommendations to further improve this continually evolving process.

description: We consider the family $\mathrm{MP}_d$ of affine conjugacy classes of polynomial maps of one complex variable with degree $d \geq 2$, and study the map $Φ_d:\mathrm{MP}_d\to \widetildeΛ_d \subset \mathbb{C}^d / \mathfrak{S}_d$ which maps each $f \in \mathrm{MP}_d$ to the set of fixed-point multipliers of $f$. We show that the local fiber structure of the map $Φ_d$ around $\barλ \in \widetildeΛ_d$ is completely determined by certain two sets $\mathcal{I}(λ)$ and $\mathcal{K}(λ)$ which are subsets of the power set of $\{1,2,\ldots,d \}$. Moreover for any $\barλ \in \widetildeΛ_d$, we give an algorithm for counting the number of elements of each fiber $Φ_d^{-1}\left(\barλ\right)$ only by using $\mathcal{I}(λ)$ and $\mathcal{K}(λ)$. It can be carried out in finitely many steps, and often by hand.

description: In condensed matter systems, the atoms, electrons or spins can sometimes arrange themselves in ways that result in unexpected properties but that cannot be detected by conventional experimental probes. Several historical and contemporary examples of such hidden orders are known and more are awaiting discovery, perhaps in the form of more complex composite, entangled or dynamical hidden orders.

description: NASA Astrophysics Division funds development of cutting-edge technology to enable its missions to achieve ambitious and groundbreaking science goals. These technology development efforts are managed by the Physics of the Cosmos, Cosmic Origins, and Exoplanet Exploration Programs. The NASA Strategic Astrophysics Technology Program (SAT) was established in 2009 as a new technology maturation program to fill the gap in the Technology Readiness Level range from 3 to 6. Since program inception, 100 SAT grants have been openly competed and awarded, along with dozens of direct-funded projects, leading to a host of technologies advancing their Technology Readiness Levels and/or being infused into space and suborbital missions and ground-based projects. We present the portfolio distribution in terms of specific technology areas addressed, including optics, detectors, coatings, corona graphs, star shades, lasers, electronics, and cooling subsystems. We show an analysis of the rate of Technology Readiness Level advances, infusion success stories, and other benefits such as training the future astrophysics workforce, including students and postdoctoral fellows hired by projects. Finally, we present the Astrophysics Division current strategic technology maturation priorities for investment, enabling a range of future strategic astrophysics missions.

description: In the present study we evaluated the effect of sex hormone on the generation of murine cytotoxic T cell responses. We show that the in vitro CTL response was strongly inhibited by progesterone but not by E1, E2 or testosterone. Our experiments attempting to understand the mechanism of the hormone action on CTL development have revealed that the ability of the cells to generate helper signals was not affected. This was demonstrated by the fact that neither IL-2 production nor IL-2 receptor expression was altered by the hormone. Rather, it appears that the capacity of the cells to respond to the signals and to become cytotoxic was modified. Furthermore, we show that the hormone mediated an inhibition of CTL development in thymocyte cultures externally supplemented with all the required helper factors. These results strongly suggest that progesterone has a direct effect on the differentiation of cytotoxic effector cells.
A search for distant, pulsating red giants in the southern halo

description: To investigate the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) population in the Galactic halo, we search for pulsating AGB stars at a heliocentric distance over 50kpc. Our research is based on the Catalina Southern Survey (CSS) catalogue of variables, comprising 1286 long-period variables (LPVs) with declination less than -20deg. We first focus on the 77 stars in the cap abs(b)>30deg for which spectral M-type or C-type classification can be derived from Hamburg-ESO objective prism spectra. Most of these are oxygen-rich (M-type) and very few are carbon rich. The periods are in the range 100-500 days, and CSS amplitudes are up to 3 mag. In this small sample, no halo AGB star is fainter than Ks0=12.5. This may be due to the scarcity of AGBs in the outer halo, or insufficient instrumental depth. Leaving aside spectral information, we then searched for even fainter pulsators (Ks>12.5) in the entire CSS catalogue. Gaia astrometry makes it possible to identify some contaminants. Our final result is the identification of ten candidate distant LPVs. If these ten stars obey the fundamental mode K-band period luminosity relation used for Miras and small-amplitude Miras, their distances are between 50 and 120kpc from the Sun. In a diagram showing distance versus Gaia tangential velocity, these ten stars have positions similar to those of other objects in the halo, such as globular clusters and dwarf galaxies. We also detect some underluminous AGBs that deserve further study. A detailed catalogue of the 77 high-latitude M or C stars will be made available at the CDS.

Canadian public opinion and free trade
Creators: name: Mayer, Michael Allan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis begins with a review of the elite debate over free trade with the United States. It then uses a three-fold theoretical framework to formulate predictions of how mass opinion should line up. It then analyzes public opinion data on free trade through the use of crosstabulations. Using a theory of changing exposure to international trade upon domestic political cleavages formulated by Ronald Rogowski, it predicts that labour will oppose free trade because it is a scarce factor of production, and capital will support it because it is an abundant factor of production. It next uses work by, among others, W.A. Mackintosh to predict that respondents in the "industrial heartland" regions of Canada--Quebec and Ontario--will oppose free trade because it threatens to remove the protective tariff that rewards import replacement industries concentrated in those two regions. In contrast, residents of the "resource extracting and processing hinterland" regions—British Columbia, the Prairies and the Atlantic—will, on balance, support free trade because it promises to improve their export performance. The thesis then predicts that women and lower income Canadians will oppose free trade. Women because many of the services that they consume—health and day care, for example—will become more difficult to obtain under a free trade regime. Women will also oppose free trade because it may be threaten the service sector jobs that many women now hold. Lower income Canadians should oppose free trade because of the possible deleterious effects greater reliance on the market to allocate social services could have on poorer Canadians. Finally, the thesis predicts that better-educated Canadians will oppose free trade because it threatens one of the "core-values" of Canadian society: independence from the United States. Data analysis reveals, however, that opinion is remarkably balanced. For example, the difference between union and non-union respondents is only five percent. Regionally, the largest differences in support for free trade is between British Columbia and Ontario, but it amounts to little more than a twenty percent difference. Women are slightly more likely to oppose free trade than men; income appears to play little role in the formation of opinion on free trade. Last, differences in opinion between articulate and less well educated Canadians also appears to be insignificant.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We investigate the embedding of brane anti-brane inflation into a concrete type IIB string theory compactification with all moduli fixed. Specifically, we are considering a D3-brane, whose position represents the inflaton $ϕ$, in a warped conifold throat in the presence of supersymmetrically embedded D7-branes and an anti D3-brane localized at the tip of the warped conifold cone. After presenting the moduli stabilization analysis for a general D7-brane embedding, we concentrate on two explicit models, the Ouyang and the Kuperstein embeddings. We analyze whether the forces, induced by moduli stabilization and acting on the D3-brane, might cancel by fine-tuning such as to leave us with the original Coulomb attraction of the anti D3-brane as the driving force for inflation. For a large class of D7-brane embeddings we obtain a negative result. Cancelations are possible only for very small intervals of $ϕ$ around an inflection point but not globally. For the most part of its motion the inflaton then feels a steep, non slow-roll potential. We study the inflationary dynamics induced by this potential.

description: Few-shot text classification is a fundamental NLP task in which a model aims to classify text into a large number of categories, given only a few training examples per category. This paper explores data augmentation -- a technique particularly suitable for training with limited data -- for this few-shot, highly-multiclass text classification setting. On four diverse text classification tasks, we find that common data augmentation techniques can improve the performance of triplet networks by up to 3.0% on average. To further boost performance, we present a simple training strategy called curriculum data augmentation, which leverages curriculum learning by first training on only original examples and then introducing augmented data as training progresses. We explore a two-stage and a gradual schedule, and find that, compared with standard single-stage training, curriculum data augmentation trains faster, improves performance, and remains robust to high amounts of noising from augmentation.

description: In this paper, we provide a procedure to solve the eigen solutions of Dirac equation with complicated potential approximately. At first, we solve the eigen solutions of a linear Dirac equation with complete eigen system, which approximately equals to the original equation. Take the eigen functions as base of Hilbert space, and expand the spinor on the bases, we convert the original problem into solution of extremum of an algebraic function on the unit sphere of the coefficients. Then the problem can be easily solved. This is a standard finite element method with strict theory for convergence and effectiveness.

description: The COSMO-SAC modeling approach has found wide application in science as well as in a range of industries due to its good predictive capabilities. While other models for liquid phases, as for example UNIFAC, are in general more accurate than COSMO-SAC, these models typically contain many adjustable parameters and can be limited in their applicability. In contrast, the COSMO-SAC model only contains a few universal parameters and subdivides the molecular surface area into charged segments that interact with each other. In recent years, additional improvements to the construction of the sigma profiles and evaluation of activity coefficients have been made. In this work, we present a comprehensive description of how to postprocess the results of a COSMO calculation through to the evaluation of thermodynamic properties. We also assembled a large database of COSMO files, consisting of 2261 compounds, freely available to academic and noncommercial users. We especially focus on the documentation of the implementation and provide the optimized source code in C++, wrappers in Python, and sample sigma profiles calculated from each approach, as well as tests and validation results. The misunderstandings in the literature relating to COSMO-SAC are described and corrected. The computational efficiency of the implementation is demonstrated.
Valley Dependent Optoelectronics from Inversion Symmetry Breaking

description: Inversion symmetry breaking allows contrasted circular dichroism in different k-space regions, which takes the extreme form of optical selection rules for interband transitions at high symmetry points. In materials where band-edges occur at noncentral valleys, this enables valley dependent interplay of electrons with light of different circular polarizations, in analogy to spin dependent optical activities in semiconductors. This discovery is in perfect harmony with the previous finding of valley contrasted Bloch band features of orbital magnetic moment and Berry curvatures from inversion symmetry breaking [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 236809 (2007)]. A universal connection is revealed between the k-resolved optical oscillator strength of interband transitions, the orbital magnetic moment and the Berry curvatures, which also provides a principle for optical measurement of orbital magnetization and intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity in ferromagnetic systems. The general physics is demonstrated in graphene where inversion symmetry breaking leads to valley contrasted optical selection rule for interband transitions. We discuss graphene based valley optoelectronics applications where light polarization information can be interconverted with electronic information.

description: Shot noise cross-correlations in normal metal-superconductor-normal metal structures are discussed at arbitrary interface transparencies using both the scattering approach of Blonder, Tinkham and Klapwik and a microscopic Green's function approach. Surprisingly, negative crossed conductance in such set-ups [R. Melin and D. Feinberg, Phys. Rev. B 70, 174509 (2004)] does not preclude the possibility of positive noise cross-correlations for almost transparent contacts. We conclude with a phenomenological discussion of interactions in the one dimensional leads connected to the superconductor, which induce sign changes in the noise cross-correlations.

description: The effect of intermixing at the interface of short period PbTiO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ superlattices is studied using first-principles density functional theory. The results indicate that interfacial intermixing significantly enhances the polarization within the superlattice. This enhancement is directly related to the off-centering of Pb and Sr cations and can be explained through a discussion of interacting dipoles. This picture should be general for a wide range of multicomponent superlattices and may have important consequences for the design of ferroelectric devices.

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, cartilage, and spinal discs, posing significant risks for surgeons due to the physical demands of their profession. This dissertation investigates ergonomic challenges in surgical instruments, focusing on needle holders, to enhance efficiency and safety in surgery.

We conducted a systematic review to identify key issues impacting surgical procedures. Using handheld devices for 3D scans, we captured precise measurements of surgical instruments, enabling accurate redesign validation in a simulated environment. Through focus groups and semi-structured interviews, we gathered detailed insights into the ergonomic challenges faced by surgeons using needle holders.

Guided by these insights, we iteratively redesigned the needle holder to address ergonomic shortcomings, aiming to reduce physical strain and improve precision and control during surgeries. This new design is expected to enhance surgical outcomes, increase efficiency, and improve patient safety and recovery times. Our research aims to elevate surgical practice standards by providing ergonomically optimized tools for surgeons.
