description: Observations of Jupiter's deep atmosphere by the Juno spacecraft have revealed several puzzling facts: The concentration of ammonia is variable down to pressures of tens of bars, and is strongly dependent on latitude. While most latitudes exhibit a low abundance, the Equatorial Zone of Jupiter has an abundance of ammonia that is high and nearly uniform with depth. In parallel, the Equatorial Zone is peculiar for its absence of lightning, which is otherwise prevalent most everywhere else on the planet. We show that a model accounting for the presence of small-scale convection and water storms originating in Jupiter's deep atmosphere accounts for the observations. Where strong thunderstorms are observed on the planet, we estimate that the formation of ammonia-rich hail ('mushballs') and subsequent downdrafts can deplete efficiency the upper atmosphere of its ammonia and transport it efficiently to the deeper levels. In the Equatorial Zone, the absence of thunderstorms shows that this process is not occurring, implying that small-scale convection can maintain a near-homogeneity of this region. A simple model satisfying mass and energy balance accounts for the main features of Juno's MWR observations and successfully reproduces the inverse correlation seen between ammonia abundance and the lightning rate as function of latitude. We predict that in regions where ammonia is depleted, water should also be depleted to great depths. The fact that condensates are not well mixed by convection until far deeper than their condensation level has consequences for our understanding of Jupiter's deep interior and of giant-planet atmospheres in general.

An exploration of meaning in the lives of elderly men
Creators: name: Swanson, Roy Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study is to qualitatively explore the phenomenon of meaning in the lives of community dwelling elderly men. Meaning and seeing one's life as having meaning are important components of living well and aging well. It is also important to recognize that aging is a time of continued growth and development. Interviews were conducted with six elderly men to explore the research question "Is there something or things so important to you in your life that they give your life meaning?" The data was analyzed using the Colaizzi (1978) phenomenological method of analysis to arrive at an exhaustive description of the phenomenon of meaning. From this study, the findings showed that elderly men continue to define and redefine meaning throughout their lives through the interconnectedness of relationships, outlook, interests, independence and health. The findings included a discussion of the similarities and differences in how young-old men (ages 65-79) and old-old men (over the age of 80) described meaning in their lives. The aforementioned five themes were common to both the young-old and the old-old cohorts. Implications for social work and recommendations for future research are identified.

description: We derive renormalization group equations for neutrino masses, leptonic mixing angles and CP-violating phases running at energies above the seesaw threshold, both in the Standard Model and in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model extended with three right-handed neutrinos. With these equations, we carry out a systematic study of the radiative correction that may arise to neutrino parameters, via their renormalization group evolution from the electroweak scale ($M_{\rm Z}$) to the scale of Grand Unified theories ($Λ_{\rm GUT}$). We study in detail three typically interesting neutrino mass patterns: normal hierarchy, near degeneracy and inverted hierarchy. Magnitudes of possible corrections in each case are carefully investigated. We also emphasize the significance of CP-violating phases in controlling the evolution behavior of all neutrino parameters.

description: We simulate the growth of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes by implementing a suite of semi-analytic models on the output of the Millennium Run, a very large simulation of the concordance LCDM cosmogony. Our procedures follow the detailed assembly history of each object and are able to track the evolution of all galaxies more massive than the Small Magellanic Cloud throughout a volume comparable to that of large modern redshift surveys. In this first paper we supplement previous treatments of the growth and activity of central black holes with a new model for `radio' feedback from those AGN that lie at the centre of a quasistatic X-ray emitting atmosphere in a galaxy group or cluster. We show that for energetically and observationally plausible parameters such a model can simultaneously explain: (i) the low observed mass drop-out rate in cooling flows; (ii) the exponential cut-off at the bright end of the galaxy luminosity function; and (iii) the fact that the most massive galaxies tend to be bulge-dominated systems in clusters and to contain systematically older stars than lower mass galaxies. This success occurs because static hot atmospheres form only in the most massive structures, and radio feedback (in contrast, for example, to supernova or starburst feedback) can suppress further cooling and star formation without itself requiring star formation. We discuss possible physical models which might explain the accretion rate scalings required for our phenomenological `radio mode' model to be successful.

description: The Fast Tracker (FTK) is an ATLAS trigger upgrade built for full event, low-latency, high-rate tracking. The FTK core, made of 9U VME boards, performs the most demanding computational task. The Associative Memory Board Serial Link Processor (AMB) and the Auxiliary card (AUX), plugged on the front and back sides of the same VME slot, constitute the Processing Unit (PU), which finds tracks using hits from 8 layers of the inner detector. The PU works in pipeline with the Second Stage Board (SSB), which finds 12-layer tracks by adding extra hits to the identified tracks. In the designed configuration, 16 PUs and 4 SSBs are installed in a VME crate. The high power-consumption of the AMB, AUX and SSB (respectively of about 250 W, 70 W and 160 W per board) required the development of a custom cooling system. Even though the expected power consumption for each VME crate of the FTK system is high compared to a common VME setup, the 8 FTK core crates will use $\approx$ 60 kW, which is just a fraction of the power and the space needed for a CPU farm performing the same task. We report on the integration of 32 PUs and 8 SSBs inside the FTK system, on the infrastructures needed to run and cool them, and on the tests performed to verify the system processing rate and the temperature stability at a safe value.

description: The experimental induction of altered states of consciousness (ASC) constitutes a research opportunity to relate changes in phenomenological states to underlying biophysical mechanisms. A variety of pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods were reported to induce consciousness alterations in humans, ranging from the consumption of psychoactive drugs to special breathing techniques or sensory deprivation. Within psychological experiments, the subjective experiences of ASCs are typically quantified with retrospective questionnaires. Here, we introduce a database, termed the Altered States Database (ASDB), comprised of questionnaire data extracted from original research articles. The database contains data from articles published in MEDLINE-listed journals from experimentally induced altered states that were assessed with a specified set of standardized questionnaires. The dataset at hand will allow direct comparisons of the psychological effects of different induction methods as well as meta-analyses to establish induction method specific dose-response relationships.

description: Focusing on the Green Road, this workshop took place (online) on 9th December 2021. The speakers presented and discussed the second (or secondary) publication right within the context of scientific publications as a key instrument to implementing Open Access (OA). Legislative models were presented from across Europe; including Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, France and Belgium. In addition, the following questions were covered during the discussion:
 - How should the notion of "publicly funded research" be interpreted and how the extent of public funding should be calculated when complying with relevant indications (usually percentage of public funding is indicated as 50% or more)? This seems important to understand how to deal with the circumstance that research is financed with contributions from the private sector or charities.
 - How laws granting secondary publishing rights should be applicable across different Member States in EU when not all of them do not have specific provisions on secondary publishing rights? What are the relevant elements (e.g. establishment of the author or of the publisher, etc.) to determine which law on secondary publishing should be applicable?
 - What is the approach of Universities concerning secondary publishing right on works produced by members of their staff, for instance in their regulations, contracts, etc.?
 - How CC licenses can be applied in the context of secondary publishing?
 - How the LIBER model law for secondary publishing could find practical application?
 - What is the status of art in other countries which the present workshop did not cover, as for instance UK and Ireland? This workshop is co-organised with members of the reCreating Europe project and LIBER. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 870626.

description: To represent one’s upper limbs for action, the brain relies on a combined position estimate based on visual and proprioceptive information. Monkey neurophysiology and human brain imaging suggest that the underlying operations are implemented in a network of fronto-parietal and occipitotemporal cortical areas. Recently, a potential hierarchical arrangement of these areas has been proposed, emphasizing the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in early multisensory comparison and integration. Here, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a virtual reality-based setup to briefly (0.5 s) present healthy human participants photorealistic virtual hands, of matching or nonmatching anatomical side, or objects at the same or a different location than their real hidden left or right hand. The inferior parietal lobe (IPL) of the left PPC showed a significant preference for congruent visuoproprioceptive hand position information. Moreover, the left body part-selective extrastriate body area (EBA; functionally localized) significantly increased its coupling with the left IPL during visuoproprioceptive congruence vs. incongruence. Our results suggest that the PPC implements early visuoproprioceptive comparison and integration processes, likely relying on information exchange with the EBA.

description: Bit strings rather than byte files can be a mode of transmission both for intelligent signals and for travels of extraterrestrial life. Kolmogorov complexity, i.e. the minimal length of a binary coded string completely defining a system, can then, due to its universality, become a key concept in the strategy of the search of extraterrestrials. Evaluating, for illustration, the Kolmogorov complexity of the human genome, one comes to an unexpected conclusion that a low complexity compressed string - analog of Noah's ark - will enable the recovery of the totality of terrestrial life. The recognition of bit strings of various complexity up to incompressible Martin-Löf random sequences, will require a different strategy for the analysis of the cosmic signals. The Fermi paradox "Where is Everybody?" can be viewed under in the light of such information panspermia, i.e. a Universe full of traveling life streams.

The utility of the cognitive interview as a credibility assessment tool
Creators: name: Swihart, Gayla
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Cognitive Interview is currently being used by various law enforcement agencies as a credibility assessment tool. This research is designed to investigate whether there is utility in using the CI in this way. Seventy-eight subjects were interviewed, each telling 2 stories, one true and one false, and these stories were coded for various verbal content characteristics- number of words, number of details, number of new details generated by the CI, filled pauses, repetitions, subjective details, and references to the difficulty of the task. There was a significant difference in the number of overall new details between the true and false accounts. There were more new details (as a function of total number of words) for the true stories at least when the true stories were told first. There were several interactions involving version and order for word count, details, and new details, but no other significant findings for other coded clues to deception. The findings suggest that the CI may be useful as a credibility assessment tool, however caution is suggested before accepting its utility until further investigation is complete.
Fronto-parietal brain responses to visuotactile congruence in an anatomical reference frame

description: Spatially and temporally congruent visuotactile stimulation of a fake hand together with one’s real hand may result in an illusory self-attribution of the fake hand. Although this illusion relies on a representation of the two touched body parts in external space, there is tentative evidence that, for the illusion to occur, the seen and felt touches also need to be congruent in an anatomical reference frame. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging and a somatotopical, virtual reality-based setup to isolate the neuronal basis of such a comparison. Participants’ index or little finger was synchronously touched with the index or little finger of a virtual hand, under congruent or incongruent orientations of the real and virtual hands. The left ventral premotor cortex responded significantly more strongly to visuotactile co- stimulation of the same versus different fingers of the virtual and real hand. Conversely, the left anterior intraparietal sulcus responded significantly more strongly to co-stimulation of different versus same fingers. Both responses were independent of hand orientation congruence and of spatial congruence of the visuotactile stimuli. Our results suggest that fronto- parietal areas previously associated with multisensory processing within peripersonal space and with tactile remapping evaluate the congruence of visuotactile stimulation on the body according to an anatomical reference frame.

description: Using the ab initio computed Potential Energy Surface (PES) for the electronic interaction of the MgH$^+$ ($^1Σ$) ion with the He($^1$S) atom, we calculate the relevant state-changing rotationally inelastic collision cross sections from a quantum treatment of the multichannel scattering problem. We focus on the quantum dynamics at the translationally low energies for the present partners discussed in the earlier, cold ion trap experiments (see below) which we wish to model in detail. The corresponding state-changing rates computed between the lower rotational states of the molecular ion are employed to describe the time-evolution kinetics followed by recent experiments on Coulomb-crystalized MgH$^+$ ($^1Σ$), where the ions are rotationally cooled by micromotion tuning after the uploading into the trap of He as a buffer gas. The present computational modeling of the final ions' rotational temperatures in the experiments turns out to agree very well with their observations and points at a fast equilibration between rotational and thermal temperatures of the ions.

description: We constrain energy spectra of supernova neutrinos through the avoidance of an overproduction of the 11B abundance during Galactic chemical evolution. In supernova nucleosynthesis calculations with a parametrized neutrino spectrum as a function of temperature of mu- and tau-neutrinos and their antiparticles and total neutrino energy, we find a strong neutrino temperature dependence of 11B yield. When the yield is combined with observed abundances, the acceptable range of the temperature of mu- and tau-neutrinos and their antiparticles is found to be 4.8 and 6.6 MeV. Non-zero chemical potentials would reduce this temperature range by about 10% for a degeneracy parameter smaller than 3.

description: It is often assumed that word reading proceeds automatically. Here, we tested this assumption by recording event-related potentials during a psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm, requiring lexical decisions about written words. Specifically, we selected words differing in their orthographic neighborhood size–the number of words that can be obtained from a target by exchanging a single letter–and investigated how influences of this variable depend on the availability of central attention. As expected, when attentional resources for lexical decisions were unconstrained, words with many orthographic neighbors elicited larger N400 amplitudes than those with few neighbors. However, under conditions of high temporal overlap with a high priority primary task, the N400 effect was not statistically different from zero. This finding indicates strong attentional influences on processes sensitive to orthographic neighbors during word reading, providing novel evidence against the full automaticity of processes involved in word reading. Furthermore, in conjunction with the observation of an underadditive interaction between stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) and orthographic neighborhood size in lexical decision performance, commonly taken to indicate automaticity, our results raise issues concerning the standard logic of cognitive slack in the PRP paradigm.
Languages in Contact and its Influence on Igbo Speakers of English Language

description: The paper examines the influence of languages in contact on Igbo speakers of the English language. The paper describes the concept of language in contact in Nigeria context with particular reference to the level of use and level of prestige of the two languages, English and Igbo, the social status of Igbo language in Nigeria and Problems of languages in contact especially the Igbo speakers of English. It was discovered that speakers of all ages use English almost exclusively for official matters. The use of English appears to be more prominent regardless of age: the older people use English even where Igbo should be appropriated while the younger ones use both languages but English more. The paper also shows that the younger generation may not be proficient enough in the Igbo language to pass it onto the next generation. The paper concludes that parents should teach their children their mother-tongue. It is important to know that the knowledge of the mothertongue aids the acquisition of the English language. The paper recommends the teaching of the sounds of the languages since some sounds are not available in both languages. The speakers of the Igbo language should be made to understand that the Igbo language is their identity. The paper recommends that Igbo speakers should be admonished to speak and teach the language to their children.

description: We consider the problem of constructing dense lattices of R^n with a given automorphism group. We exhibit a family of such lattices of density at least cn/2^n, which matches, up to a multiplicative constant, the best known density of a lattice packing. For an infinite sequence of dimensions n, we exhibit a finite set of lattices that come with an automorphism group of size n, and a constant proportion of which achieves the aforementioned lower bound on the largest packing density. The algorithmic complexity for exhibiting a basis of such a lattice is of order exp(nlogn), which improves upon previous theorems that yield an equivalent lattice packing density. The method developed here involves applying Leech and Sloane's construction A to a special class of codes with a given automorphism group, namely the class of double circulant codes.

description: In equilibrium liquid crystals, chirality leads to a variety of spectacular three-dimensional structures, but chiral and achiral phases with the same broken continuous symmetries have identical long-time, large-scale dynamics. In this paper, we demonstrate that chirality qualitatively modifies the dynamics of layered liquid crystals in active systems in both two and three dimensions due to an active "odder" elasticity. In three dimensions, we demonstrate that the hydrodynamics of active cholesterics differs fundamentally from smectic-A liquid crystals, unlike their equilibrium counterpart. This distinction can be used to engineer a columnar array of vortices, with anti-ferromagnetic vorticity alignment, that can be switched on and off by external strain. A two-dimensional chiral layered state -- an array of lines on an incompressible, free-standing film of chiral active fluid with a preferred normal direction -- is generically unstable. However, this instability can be tuned in easily realisable experimental settings, when the film is either on a substrate or in an ambient fluid.
Restoring ourselves to nature: ethics and ecology in an urban watershed
Creators: name: Thompson, Alison Kathleen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Environmental philosophy has expanded and diversified greatly since its beginning. Yet applied philosophies, environmental philosophy and environmental ethics have not engaged descriptive ethics in the way that biomedical ethics has. I will suggest that the failure to has meant that environmental philosophy has had limited impact on environmental practices such as restoration ecology. In this thesis I will attempt to reposition philosophy's ethical spotlight upon what I feel to be the most ethically relevant features of the practice of restoration ecology, and to facilitate this, I develop a case-study. A history of the Musqueam Watershed restoration project and its participants' objectives and their operating policies will be given, followed by an ethical analysis of the project. I will argue on several counts that getting restoration right involves more than paying careful attention to the finished product, as philosophers Elliot and Katz have suggested. Getting restoration right involves placing practice within a broad social and political context where process becomes as crucial as outcome. This will require an examination of the way in which interested stakeholders nature, as well as an examination of the democratic structure and mandate of the Musqueam Watershed Committee. I will argue that restoration projects ought to be conducted in a manner that exploits the inherent participatory potential of restoration ecology. Finally, I will argue the inclusion of ecosystems within the human socio-political context, and thus suggest replacement of the Wilderness Paradigm, or the Hyperreal Paradigm with a Garden Paradigm for human relations with nature, in the hope that in this way we will restore ourselves to nature.

Although this structure is typically described in terms of an fcc Bravais lattice with a 4 atom basis, it can be viewed more simply as a variant of bcc or B2 in which planes of X$_2$ alternate with planes of YZ along the 001 direction. Using ab-initio electronic structure calculations, we have investigated planar insertions along 001 into the L2$_1$ structure. For most scenarios, insertion of single or double atomic layers of Cr into Co$_2$MnGe or Co$_2$MnSi did not destroy the half-metallic property. One insertion of a Cr layer into Co$_2$MnGe was observed to increase the gap. In fact, we observed that for a large number of insertions using various transition metals or combinations of transition metals and non-transition metals, the band gap in the minority channel at the Fermi energy remains. An ad hoc rule that seems to partially capture the tendency to form half-metals can be formulated as: "001 planar insertions that can plausibly yield 8 down spin electrons on the X$_2$ layer and 4 down spin electrons on the YZ layer yield half-metals".

description: Spectral properties of Hermitian Toeplitz, Hankel, and Toeplitz-plus-Hankel random matrices with independent identically distributed entries are investigated. Combining numerical and analytic arguments it is demonstrated that spectral statistics of all these random matrices is of intermediate type, characterized by (i) level repulsion at small distances, (ii) an exponential decrease of the nearest-neighbor distributions at large distances, (iii) a non-trivial value of the spectral compressibility, and (iv) the existence of non-trivial fractal dimensions of eigenvectors in Fourier space. Our findings show that intermediate-type statistics is more ubiquitous and universal than was considered so far and open a new direction in random matrix theory.

description: Viene descritta una semplice realizzazione di un tool di installazione, basato su web, del software Condor  particolarmente adattato alle esigenze di base per il Condor Pool INFN su WAN. Tale procedura viene incontro a necessità da tempo espresse dalla comunità INFN associata ai problemi di calcolo. In sostanza si è detto che una delle ragioni della staticità del pool stesso per quanto riguarda il numero delle macchine che lo compongono, è dovuta ad oggettive difficoltà dovute alla installazione di base, ossia quella fornita con il software. La nostra speranza è che questo metodo di installazione permetta effettivamente di aggiungere macchine al Condor Pool Nazionale e cosí servire meglio e meglio ottimizzare le risorse di calcolo. Per questi motivi è stato volutamente mantenuto a livelli di estrema semplicità di uso, ma, speriamo, di ragionevole efficacia per le necessità dell'INFN. Può facilmente essere esteso, se la comunità scientifica lo richiederà.

description: We employ a molecular model to study a ternary mixture of saturated lipid, with tails of sixteen carbons, a mono unsaturated lipid with tails of eighteen carbons, and cholesterol. The model, solved within mean-field theory, produces several forms of phase diagrams depending upon the relative strengths of interactions, but only one that shows the coexistence of two liquid phases observed in experiment. The lipids in the phase rich in cholesterol are more ordered than those in the other. The binary cholesterol, saturated lipid system also exhibits liquid, liquid coexistence.

description: Tunability of polar and semiconducting properties of low-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have propelled them to the forefront of fundamental and applied physical research. These materials can vary from non-polar to ferroelectric, and from direct-band semiconductor to metallic. However, in addition to classical controls such as composition, doping, and field effect in TMDs the additional degrees of freedom emerge due to the curvature-induced electron redistribution and associated changes in electronic properties. Here we numerically explore the elastic and electric fields, flexoelectric polarization and free charge density for a TMD nanoflake placed on a rough substrate with a sinusoidal profile of the corrugation using finite element modelling. Numerical results for different flake thickness and corrugation depth yield insight into the flexoelectric nature of the out-of-plane electric polarization and establish the unambiguous correlation between the polarization and static conductivity modulation caused by inhomogeneous elastic strains coupled with deformation potential and strain gradients, which evolve in TMD nanoflake due to the adhesion between the flake surface and corrugated substrate. We revealed a pronounced maximum at the thickness dependences of the electron and hole conductivity of MoS2 and MoTe2 nanoflakes placed on a metallic substrate, which opens the way for their geometry optimization towards significant improvement their polar and electronic properties, necessary for their advanced applications in nanoelectronics and memory devices.Specifically, obtained results can be useful for elaboration of nanoscale straintronic devices based on the bended MoS2, MoTe2 and MoSTe nanoflakes, such as diodes and bipolar transistors with a bending-controllable sharpness of p-n junctions.

description: The feasibility of achieving faster data transmission using advanced digital modulation techniques over the current CMS Tracker analog optical link is explored. The spectral efficiency of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation -Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (QAM-OFDM) makes it an attractive option for a future implementation of the readout link. An analytical method for estimating the data-rate that can be achieved using OFDM over the current optical links is described and the first theoretical results are presented.
