Development of ear asymmetries in dichotic listening
Creators: name: Neufeld, Gordon Arthur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Two hundred and eight Ss from grades 2, 4, and 6 were tested for recognition of dichotically presented musical stimuli, sound effects, and CVC nonsense syllables differing in medial vowel or initial stop consonant. Ear asymmetry was found to increase from grade 2 to grade 6. The left-ear advantage found for music, sound effects, and vowel-varied stimuli was due to decreasing right-ear performance with age. A right-ear advantage for consonants was the result of increasing right-ear performance and a simultaneous decrease in left-ear performance with age. These results were discussed in terms of a unilateral dominance specific for speech as opposed to a bilateral dominance for both speech and nonspeech material. Sex differences were found in the development of ear asymmetry, girls showing ear asymmetry earlier than boys in the recognition of verbal material and boys showing ear asymmetry earlier than girls in the recognition of sound effects. The results of the study were compared with those of a similar study using adults as Ss. The comparison showed that substantially larger ear asymmetries were obtained with grade 6 Ss than with adults. This difference was found to be due to the children's inferior recognition of stimuli presented to the nonpreferred ear, preferred ear performance being the same for both groups. The possibility of a covert order of report factor influencing the magnitude of the ear asymmetry found was suggested.

description: In a recent paper Gunnells, Scott and Walden have determined the complete spectrum of the Schreier graph on the symmetric group corresponding to the Young subgroup $S_{n-2}\times S_2$ and generated by initial reversals. In particular they find that the first nonzero eigenvalue, or spectral gap, of the Laplacian is always 1, and report that "empirical evidence" suggests that this also holds for the corresponding Cayley graph. We provide a simple proof of this last assertion, based on the decomposition of the Laplacian of Cayley graphs, into a direct sum of irreducible representation matrices of the symmetric group.

description: Teatro di prosa e teatro lirico ricevono nelle opera di Rousseau un trattamento diametralmente opposto. Per quanto il citoyen de Génève identifichi nell’interesse e nell’imitazione due princìpi comuni a teatro ed opera, la natura della mimesis teatrale e di quella musicale sembra dividere le due forme d’arte. L’articolo, poggiandosi sul commento di numerosi passi dalle opere di Rousseau, mette in luce come alcune considerazioni sul ruolo di pietà e immaginazione nello sviluppo della storia umana costituiscano il sottofondo dal quale emerge l’analisi dell’imitazione dell’autore. Infine viene posto in rilievo il rapporto costitutivo tra musica e linguaggio, la cui comprensione è cruciale per cogliere il motivo della differenza nell’effetto morale di musica e teatro.

description: NGC 4636, an X-ray bright elliptical galaxy, was observed for 70 ks with Suzaku. The low background and good energy resolution of the XIS enable us to estimate the foreground Galactic emission accurately and hence measure, for the first time, the O, Mg, Si and Fe abundances out to a radius of ~28 arcmin ($\simeq$ 140 kpc). These metal abundances are as high as $>$1 solar within the central 4' and decrease by ~50% towards the outer regions. Further, the O to Fe abundance ratio is about 0.60--1.0 solar in all regions analyzed, indicating that the products of both SNe II and SNe Ia have mixed and diffused to the outer regions of the galaxy. The O and Fe metal mass-to-light-ratios (MLR) of NGC 4636 are 2--3 times larger than those of NGC 1399 implying that metal distributions in NGC 4636 are less extended than those in NGC 1399, possibly due to environmental factors, such as frequency of galaxy interaction. We also found that the MLRs of NGC 4636 at 0.1 $r_{180}$ are $\sim$5 times smaller than those of clusters of galaxies, possibly consistent with the correlation between temperature and MLR of other spherically symmetric groups of galaxies. We also confirmed a resonant scattering signature in the Fe$_{XV II}}$ line in the central region, as previously reported using the XMM-Newton RGS.

description: Nearly 80 different viruses belonging to different genera and families have been identified in grapevines, but their seed transmissibility remains largely unclear. Thus, the specific objective of this work is to monitor the presence of viruses in seedlings grown from seeds of virus-infected grapevine plants. Using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and quantitative real-time RT-PCR, we showed the presence of grapevine leafroll-associated virus 2 (GLRaV-2), GLRaV-3, grapevine 'Pinot gris' virus (GPGV), grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus (GRSPaV), grapevine virus A (GVA), and grapevine fleck virus (GFkV) in all tested parts including mature cane, leaf, petiole, young shoot, flower, berry skin, and seed of infected grapevine 'Moldova' plants. Furthermore, GLRaV-2 and GPGV were found in all tested seedlings developed from seeds of 'Moldova' plants, while the other four viruses were not detected. Our results provide the first evidence that GLRaV-2 and GPGV can be transmitted to progeny seedlings from seeds of infected grapevine plants.

description: Many natural products are able to control pests and can be used as alternatives for chemical treatments. Plant essential oils (EOs) have been found to exhibit some biological activity against many insects including mealybugs. This study aimed at studying the insecticidal activity and behavioral and neurophysiological impacts of three plant essential oils against the vine mealybug Planococcus ficus. The topical and fumigant toxicity of Cymbopogon citratus, Mentha piperita, and Pelargonium graveolens essential oils was evaluated against P. ficus adults. The chemical composition analysis of EOs by gas chromatographic-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) revealed citronellal (31.69 %), menthol (73.78 %), and geraniol (39.6%), as major components, respectively. Bioassays of EOs against vine mealybug adults through fumigation toxicity method revealed lethal concentrations LC50 values of 17.01, 26.27 and 24.52 µL·L-1 air for C. citratus, M. piperita, and P. graveolens, respectively. In both topical and fumigant bioassays, essential oil from C. citratus was the most active altering the behavioral response of treated mealybugs which becomes hyperactive and disoriented. EOs induced general stress in P. ficus adults, as evidenced by oxidative stress biomarker analyses. Biochemical analyses showed that the EOs exposure reduced the activity of acetylcholinesterase and significantly induced the glutathione S-transferases and Malondialdehydes accumulation in the vine mealybug tissues. Mortality caused by lemongrass EO positively correlated with the significant decrease in the AChE activity indicating lethal neurological effects. These toxicity bioassays and neurological impact findings provide new informations for formulating effective essential oil based-insecticides to control P. ficus in the framework of integrated pest management programs.

description: We present the result of our extensive intranight optical monitoring of the well known low-energy peaked BL Lac (LBL) object PKS 0735+178. This long-term follow-up consists of $R$-band monitoring for a minimum duration of $\sim 4$ hours, on 17 nights spanning 11 years (1998-2008). Using the CCD as an N-star photometer, a detection limit of around 1% was attained for the intra-night optical variability (INOV). Remarkably, an INOV amplitude of $\geq 3%$ on hour-like time scale was not observed on any of the 17 nights, even though the likelihood of a typical LBL showing such INOV levels in a single session of $\ga 4$ hours duration is known to be high ($\sim50%$). Our observations have thus established a peculiar long-term INOV quiescence of this radio-selected BL Lac object. Moreover, the access to unpublished optical monitoring data of similarly high sensitivity, acquired in another programme, has allowed us to confirm the same anomalous INOV quiescence of this LBL all the way back to 1989, the epoch of its historically largest radio outburst. Here, we present observational evidence revealing the very unusual INOV behaviour of this classical BL Lac object and discuss this briefly in the context of its other known exceptional properties.

Failure to re-enroll in non-credit, university continuing education programs

description: The discipline of adult education has been concerned with factors affecting participation, particularly those factors influencing either enrollment or dropping out. Little attention has been devoted to the examination of factors which affect an adult's decision not to return to a subsequent course at the institution which he had attended previously. The purpose of this study was to identify the major factors or combinations of factors which may be related to the failure of adults to re-enroll in Extension programs at the University of British Columbia. The analytical survey method with a structured interview schedule was used to conduct the study. A random sample of 100 subjects was drawn from a population of 650 participants in non-credit Extension classes in the fall of 1966 who had not returned for another non-credit program over a subsequent three year period. The sample group did not appear to differ markedly with respect to those characteristics studied, from participants at similar institutions or from those who participate and return for subsequent courses at the Extension Department studied. Those characteristics of the sample which were cross-tabulated and found to be significantly related appear to be typical of university non-credit extension course participants. The majority of the reasons given for not returning were personal in nature as opposed to institutional and the five most frequently mentioned reasons were all personal. Lack of time because of business commitments was evidently the most important single factor preventing re-enrollment, followed by lack of time because of family commitments, involvement in courses elsewhere, lack of time because of other clubs or groups, and the inability to schedule time on a regular basis. The other factors mentioned by the subjects did not indicate a consistent theme, rather they formed a haphazard mosaic of isolated reasons about which no single explanation was evident. With one exception, the categories of reasons given for failing to re enroll were not associated significantly with the characteristics of the sample. In that one case, there did. not appear to be a suitable explanation of the relationship found between occupational change and the reason given for not returning. There is evidently no single identifiable institutional adjustment which could have aided re-enrollment by a large number of the non-participants.

We find that a transition to a partially disordered phase occurs below T=20 K that coexists with long-range antiferromagnetic ordering. The disordered phase resembles a spin-glass. No clustering of magnetic ions could be evidenced by $μ$SR so that the coexistence appears homogeneous in the sample.
A geomagnetic induction study in the north east of Tasmania.

description: During the period in between February 1978 until October 1979, a geomagnetic variation study by means of eleven temporary field stations has been conducted covering the area of Launceston quadrangle, Tasmania Geological Atlas Series, sheet SK 55-4, scale 1 : 250 000. The study area is situated between latitude 41 ¬¨‚àû00 and 41 ¬¨‚àû45 south and between longitude 146 ¬¨‚àû 15 and 148 ¬¨‚àû00 east, with a total area of about 12 700 sq. km. The aim of this study is to record and analyse the behavior of geomagnetic variations which are related to lateral changes of electrical conductivity structure. The coast effect similar to the one that was established in Hobart ( Parkinson, 1962 ) is found in this area for longer periods greater than 64 minutes. And an anomalous local high conductivity zone is indicated by the directions of induction vectors at periods less than or equal to 48 minutes. This anomalous conductive zone is interpreted as caused by deep lateral variation of conductivity of sedimentary rocks ( o- = 0.54 x 10-1 S.m-1 ) with ages between Cambrian and younger and Devonian granodiorite (o- = 0.54, x 10-3 S.m-1), both being covered by surface high conductive layer ( o- = 0.11 S.m-1) that extends from east of Deloraine to west of Scottsdale. The occurence of a mineralized zone between Nabowla, Scottsdale and Tayene agrees with the direction of induction vectors at those stations.

description: Environmental issues (high UV-B radiation and water deficit) can challenge 'Pinot Noir' growth in New Zealand. The aim of this work is to determine separated and combined UV-B and water deficit effects on phenolic composition of 'Pinot Noir' fruit. In 2016-2017 vintage, two rows of 'Pinot Noir' grapevines in the West Vineyard at Lincoln University were chosen for the study. In comparison to exposure to natural UV-B in the vineyard, the potted vines were put into a glasshouse for the experiments. When berries were directly exposed to UV-B and water deficit, skin anthocyanin and skin total phenolics accumulated to a greater degree in the berry skins. The combined stresses caused larger increases in contents of skin total phenolics than the water deficit in the vineyard and glasshouse. Skin tannin contents were increased by UV-B and water deficit, but there were no consistent changes in seed tannin contents between treatments during ripening and no statistically significant differences between treatments at harvest. This research reported that canopy management (UV-B exposure) interacting with a moderate water deficit may be a good way for vineyard management to increase the accumulation of anthocyanins and tannins in berry skins.

description: One important prediction of acceleration of particles in the supernova caused shock in the magnetic wind of exploding Wolf Rayet and Red Super Giant stars is the production of an energetic particle component with an E^-2 spectrum, at a level of a few percent in flux at injection. After allowing for transport effects, so steepening the spectrum to E^-7/3, this component of electrons produces electromagnetic radiation and readily explains the WMAP haze from the Galactic Center region in spectrum, intensity and radial profile. This requires the diffusion time scale for cosmic rays in the Galactic Center region to be much shorter than in the Solar neighborhood: the energy for cosmic ray electrons at the transition between diffusion dominance and loss dominance is shifted to considerably higher particle energy. We predict that more precise observations will find a radio spectrum of ν^-2/3, at higher frequencies ν^-1, and at yet higher frequencies finally ν^-3/2.

description: Black foot disease of grapevines is a significant economic issue for the viticulture industry worldwide. The disease is mainly associated with soil borne pathogen species within the genera Dactylonectria and Ilyonectria. The aim of this study was to determine the pathogenicity of different pathogen propagules, including chlamydospores, conidia and mycelium, to grapevine rootstocks grown in soil. A combination of nine isolates belonging to Dactylonectria and Ilyonectria genera, representative of the fungal species associated with black foot disease in New Zealand were used to inoculate grapevines in a field experiment. In the second experiment, the pathogenicity of the different propagules was assessed in different soil types, clay loam, silt loam and sandy loam soils. In the field experiment, chlamydospores and conidia resulted in higher disease incidence and severity at 0 cm above the grapevine stem base compared with mycelium. At 5 cm above the stem base, chlamydospores caused the greatest disease incidence compared with the other two propagules. Propagule type had no effect on shoot and root dry weights. In the pot experiment, soil type affected disease incidence and severity, with clay loam soil resulting in significantly greater disease incidence and severity than silt loam or sandy loam soils. Disease severity at 0 cm above the stem base was significantly higher with conidial inoculations compared with chlamydospore inoculations irrespective of soil type. Root dry weights were also affected with heavier roots from plants grown in sandy loam compared with silt loam and clay loam soils, however, shoot dry weight was greater in clay loam and sandy loam compared with silt loam soils. The results of the study confirmed that all propagule types were able to infect grapevine rootstocks when planted in inoculated soil and showed that although the pathogens were capable of infecting the rootstocks in all soil types, disease level was higher in the heavier clay loam soil. It is therefore recommended that growers either avoid planting in such soils or apply strategies to improve drainage and soil aeration.

Ebenezer Jones : a study
Creators: name: Brookes, Roger Keith
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A series of misfortunes had the effect of limiting Ebenezer Jones' verse publication to a single volume. Although many notable writers of the time found merit in the work, Studies of Sensation and Event, it was not a popular success; however, Dante Gabriel Rossetti prophesied that one day it would be recovered from its undeserved obscurity. Stimulated by Rossetti, several persons made an attempt to revive interest and the volume was re-issued, posthumously, in 1879. It again failed to generate much interest, however, and it has continued its decline into obscurity to the present. It has been common in the past for critics to dismiss Jones' poetry as "Spasmodic," or "Chartist" labels that are not only inaccurate but, in focussing upon a single aspect, overlook the significance of the whole work. Ebenezer Jones' book is largely significant as a response to the period of crisis during which he lived. In a period of rapid change and grave uncertainties, Jones exemplifies the transitional poet who, adhering to the romantic literary tradition, tries to come to terms in his art with contemporary issues. Many of the foremost writers of the time shared Rossetti's appreciation of Jones' talent. They recognized that many of the faults and weaknesses of Jones' poetry resulted from his attempts to analyze and describe sensation in an original and meaningful way; disatisfaction with conventional diction led Jones to experiment with words in an effort to achieve the desired effect. The revolutionary nature of his work, the choice of unconventional subjects and their treatment in strange and exciting ways, occasionally results in "jaggedness" or obscurity; on the other hand, he frequently succeeds in conveying powerful sensations with clarity and force. Critics in the past have tended to discuss Jones' poetry within the context of his biographical misfortunes. These seriously affected Jones' work and for this reason require discussion, but it will be the intention of this study to indicate that many of Jones' poems may be enjoyed as works of art without recourse to his biography. This thesis, therefore, will consist of two parts: the first three chapters will relate the known facts of Jones' life and the circumstances surrounding the two editions of his Studies of Sensation and Event; and chapter four will examine his poetry as to its, original aspects and as sensitive response to the period.

description: The characterization of 30 grape accessions used to produce Pajarete wine is presented, one of the first American "Denomination of Origin" (D.O.). Accessions were collected from small vineyards from the Huasco Valley in the Atacama Region, northern Chile, which are very heterogeneous for varietal assortment, as was demonstrated by microsatellite marker analysis. Eighteen different genotypes were identified, including the two varieties considered the founders of American viticulture, 'Listán Prieto' (syn. 'País') and 'Muscat of Alexandria'. A series of criolla varieties was also identified, some of them already described plus others not yet included in international databases. Based on nine SSR markers, allelic matchings suggest that four of these new criolla varieties (NN-311, NN-313, NN-368 and NN-370) derives from 'Listán Prieto' x 'Muscat of Alexandria', but three (NN-314, NN-276 and NN-369) are derived from 'M. of Alexandria' crossed with a yet undetermined parent. Seven criolla accessions were described by ampelography, including some not yet recorded in the European Vitis International Variety Catalogue (VIVC) or in the Instituto de Investigaciones Agropecuarias (INIA) database. Three accessions were considered as not appropriate for the production of Pajarete wine since two of them are table grape varieties and the other is the American variety 'Isabella' (Vitis labrusca x V. vinifera), all considered of poor quality for winemaking. All these findings are very useful to direct the conservation of this unique germplasm, as well as for small producers of Pajarete wine, since based on this information on the overall variety assortment of the area, they can now make informed decisions to improve their vineyard management and wine production.

description: Deep pencil beam surveys (<1 deg^2) are of fundamental importance for studying the high-redshift universe. However, inferences about galaxy population properties are in practice limited by 'cosmic variance'. This is the uncertainty in observational estimates of the number density of galaxies arising from the underlying large-scale density fluctuations. This source of uncertainty can be significant, especially for surveys which cover only small areas and for massive high-redshift galaxies. Cosmic variance for a given galaxy population can be determined using predictions from cold dark matter theory and the galaxy bias. In this paper we provide tools for experiment design and interpretation. For a given survey geometry we present the cosmic variance of dark matter as a function of mean redshift z and redshift bin size Dz. Using a halo occupation model to predict galaxy clustering, we derive the galaxy bias as a function of mean redshift for galaxy samples of a given stellar mass range. In the linear regime, the cosmic variance of these galaxy samples is the product of the galaxy bias and the dark matter cosmic variance. We present a simple recipe using a fitting function to compute cosmic variance as a function of the angular dimensions of the field, z, Dz and stellar mass m*. We also provide tabulated values and a software tool. We find that for GOODS at z=2 and with Dz=0.5 the relative cosmic variance of galaxies with m*>10^11 Msun is ~38%, while it is ~27% for GEMS and ~12% for COSMOS. For galaxies of m*~10^10 Msun the relative cosmic variance is ~19% for GOODS, ~13% for GEMS and ~6% for COSMOS. This implies that cosmic variance is a significant source of uncertainty at z=2 for small fields and massive galaxies, while for larger fields and intermediate mass galaxies cosmic variance is less serious.

Property ownership in the alternative environment of intentional communities
Creators: name: Brown, DL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Many people in the Western world are seeking an alternative lifestyle with others of the same mind in an environment more satisfying to their social and biological needs. Although much has been written on the socio-economic basis of such intentional communities and the history of attempted alternative lifestyles and commutarian experiments, very little investigation has been undertaken as to the various specifically legal and related political and jurisprudential problems faced by people who choose to live in community with each other. This thesis is an applied study which attempts to set some of the aspects of structuring the property holding in the context of the social desires of groups and individuals and the political realities of the wider society in which they exist; account is therefore taken of some of the environmental implications. Land is important, and its \subdivision\" is considered. The problem of common land is discussed. More radical questions thrown up by the land holding difficulties of Australian aboriginal communities are seen as a background to alternative communal land holding and use generally. These difficulties include the fact of ownership the holding of land from the Crown the owner's free alienability of property and the difficulties of collective ownership. The need to separate the property holding arrangement from the form of \"business organisation\" adopted by a community is put forward. Various forms of property holding and structures of business organisation are presented and some of their features (advantages and disadvantages) are discussed."

description: We prove a constant term theorem which is useful for finding weight polynomials for Ballot/Motzkin paths in a strip with a fixed number of arbitrary `decorated' weights as well as an arbitrary `background' weight. Our CT theorem, like Viennot's lattice path theorem from which it is derived primarily by a change of variable lemma, is expressed in terms of orthogonal polynomials which in our applications of interest often turn out to be non-classical. Hence we also present an efficient method for finding explicit closed form polynomial expressions for these non-classical orthogonal polynomials. Our method for finding the closed form polynomial expressions relies on simple combinatorial manipulations of Viennot's diagrammatic representation for orthogonal polynomials. In the course of the paper we also provide a new proof of Viennot's original orthogonal polynomial lattice path theorem. The new proof is of interest because it uses diagonalization of the transfer matrix, but gets around difficulties that have arisen in past attempts to use this approach. In particular we show how to sum over a set of implicitly defined zeros of a given orthogonal polynomial, either by using properties of residues or by using partial fractions. We conclude by applying the method to two lattice path problems important in the study of polymer physics as models of steric stabilization and sensitized flocculation.

title: Learning brief: Including people with disabilities, older adults, and their caregivers in COVID-19 prevention programmes
Creators: name: Wapling, Lorraine
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
Year: 2021

description: This brief summarises lessons learned about how COVID-19 prevention programmes can be inclusive of people with disabilities, older adults, and caregivers. The brief covers: a) an overview of why inclusion is critical to COVID-19 response programming, b) a summary of lessons and key actions to strengthen inclusion planning, implementation actions and monitoring, and c) a checklist to assess inclusion in your programming. The brief is primarily oriented towards organisations working to improve hygiene related behaviours such as handwashing with soap, mask use, surface cleaning and physical distancing. This brief is based on the insights that have been gained through programming funded by the Hygiene and Behaviour Change Coalition (HBCC) and/or supported by the COVID-19 Hygiene Hub.
Lockdown und Lebensbühnen: Die Veränderung der Lebenswelt von Kindern und Jugendlichen im Alter von 12-16 Jahren durch den Lockdown
Creators: name: Arnet, Joel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit deutet die Veränderung der Lebenswelt von Kindern und Jugendlichen im Alter von 12-16 Jahren durch den Lockdown vom Frühling 2020 anhand des Theorienkonzepts der Lebensweltorientierten Sozialen Arbeit von Hans Thiersch (2020). Daraus resultieren Handlungsmöglichkeiten für Professionelle der Sozialen Arbeit. Dazu werden in einem ersten Schritt die Situation um den Lockdown und das Theorienkonzept der Lebensweltorientierten Sozialen Arbeit nach Hans Thiersch (2020) verständlich dargelegt, um daraufhin die Lebenswelten mit den Veränderungen des Lockdowns zu deuten. Dazu werden Studien, weitere Literatur und Protokolle der teilnehmenden Beobachtung aus der Offenen Kinder- und Jugendarbeit verwendet. Zu den wichtigsten Ergebnissen zählen, dass der Alltag der Jugendlichen im Lockdown stark durch den der Erziehungsberechtigten beeinflusst wurde, dass die virtuellen Welten im Lockdown sowohl Chancen als auch Risiken geborgen haben und dass Kinder und Jugendliche im Lockdown besonders vulnerabel waren. Die Soziale Arbeit muss sich deshalb im Falle eines erneuten Lockdowns insbesondere auch auf die Hinterbühne der Lebensweltorientierung (Thiersch, S. 48) fokussieren, um durch gezieltes Lobbying die Massnahmen für Kinder und Jugendliche zu mildern. Weiter muss sie sich die virtuellen Welten strategisch aneignen, sich den Krisen der Erziehungsberechtigten annehmen und die tertiäre Prävention gezielt ausführen.

description: Using the Damour-Ruffini-Sannan, the Parikh-Wilczek and the thin film brick-wall models, we investigate the Hawking radiation of uncharged massive particles from 4-dimensional linear dilaton black holes, which are the solutions to Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton, Einstein-Yang-Mills-Dilaton and Einstein-Yang-Mills-Born-Infeld-Dilaton theories. Our results show that the tunneling rate is related to the change of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. Contrary to the many studies in the literature, here the emission spectrum is precisely thermal. This implies that the derived emission spectrum is not consistent with the unitarity of the quantum theory, which would possibly lead to the information loss.
description: Typing mistakes in eq.32 have been corrected. The obtained radiation spectrum is pure thermal! Namely, the information is lost in the process of Hawking radiation. To be published in IJTP
Generation of Circular Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The standard cosmological model, which includes only Compton scattering photon interactions at energy scales near recombination, results in zero primordial circular polarization of the cosmic microwave background. In this paper we consider a particular renormalizable and gauge-invariant standard model extension coupling photons to an external vector field via a Chern-Simons term, which arises as a radiative correction if gravitational torsion couples to fermions. We compute the transport equations for polarized photons from a Boltzmann-like equation, showing that such a coupling will source circular polarization of the microwave background. For the particular coupling considered here, the circular polarization effect is always negligible compared to the rotation of the linear polarization orientation, also derived using the same formalism. We note the possibility that limits on microwave background circular polarization may probe other photon interactions and related fundamental effects such as violations of Lorentz invariance.

description: The implementation of a thermal endoscope based on the LWIR camera cores Lepton and a custom miniaturized electronics is reported. The sensor and the PCB can be inserted into a cylindrical protective case of diameter 15 mm, inox tube or plastic, 3D printable envelope, with an optical window in Germanium. Two PCBs were developed for assembling the endoscope in two different schemes, to enable frontal or lateral thermal vision setup.
 The thermal endoscope unit is controlled by a Raspberry external unit.
 The Infrared Vision Software is provided for controlling the acquisition of thermal frames, and for the thermographic calculation of the object temperature from the input parameters on object surface emissivity and environment.
 In general, the device enables to perform thermography in applications in which traditional larger equipment cannot be employed, as non destructive diagnostics in confined space in the engineering field. The thermal endoscope was designed with dimensions also compatible for robotic-assisted/traditional minimally-invasive surgery.

Encroachments into selected municipal and regional park lands in Canada
Creators: name: Chambers, Bruce
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: As urban areas increase in population, pressures are exerted upon vacant or undeveloped lands for housing, industry, public buildings, highway rights-of-way, and a host of other uses including parks. At the same time, pressures are placed upon existing parks to accomodate some of the other needs of expanding urban areas. The loss of lands that have been developed for recreation results in either the loss of a necessary activity or the reduction of the quality of the experience enjoyed by park users. Studies in the U.S.A. indicate that alienation of park lands by non-recreative uses is a serious problem. While many urban areas in Canada have experienced significant population increases and the resultant pressures on urban land during the last ten years, there has been no examination, on a provincial or national basis, of the effects of such trends on major parks (over 20 acres). Are park lands in this size category being alienated to provide land for non-recreative purposes? This thesis attempts to provide an answer to this and related questions. The findings of this study are based on 141 questionnaire returns from a survey of 234 Canadian municipalities with populations over 10,000. Two of 183 municipalities between 10,000 and 50,000 persons experienced a total of 5 alienations from 1960-1970. Seventeen of 51 municipalities over 50,000 persons experienced a total of 34 alienations during the same period. The land alienated was 13 per cent of the total park area affected; on the average, 15.5 acres of land were alienated per encroachment. Highways and roads, schools, and housing were the main uses alienating park lands. In most cases objections to the alienation by the parks board were overruled by the municipal council on the grounds that the encroaching use was of greater importance or that the land was cheaper. It is concluded that alienation of park lands in Canadian municipalities is a significant problem that to date has been unrecognized and un-publicized. Moreover, the study suggests that pressure on park lands will continue to mount in the foreseeable future. With the exception of parks given to a municipality in trust there is little to indicate that municipal legislation is oriented to protecting the major parks. In fact, parks that have been dedicated by public referendum are not guaranteed perpetual protection in all provinces. Parks, as viewed by some municipal councils, seem to represent a valuable form«of land bank for future development needs. The increasing public awareness of the value of major parks in urban areas may change this outlook in the future.
