description: The non-Hermitian skin effect describes the concentration of an extensive number of eigenstates near the boundaries of certain dissipative systems. This phenomenon has raised a huge interest in different areas of physics, including photonics, deeply expanding our understanding of non-Hermitian systems and opening up new avenues in both fundamental and applied aspects of topological phenomena. The skin effect has been associated to a nontrivial point-gap spectral topology and has been experimentally demonstrated in a variety of synthetic matter systems, including photonic lattices. In most of physical models exhibiting the non-Hermitian skin effect full or partial wave coherence is generally assumed. Here we push the concept of skin effect into the fully incoherent regime and show that rather generally (but not universally) the non-Hermitian skin effect persists under dephasing dynamics. The results are illustrated by considering incoherent light dynamics in non-Hermitian photonic quantum walks.

description: In this paper, current-induced spin polarization for two-dimensional electron gas with a general spin-orbit interaction is investigated. For isotropic energy spectrum, the in-plane current-induced spin polarization is found to be dependent on the electron density for non-linear spin-orbit interaction and increases with the increment of sheet density, in contrast to the case for $\bm k$-linear spin-orbit coupling model. The numerical evaluation is performed for InAs/InSb heterojunction with spin-orbit coupling of both linear and cubic spin-orbit coupling types. For $δ$-type short-range electron-impurity scattering, it is found that the current-induced spin polarization increases with increasing the density when cubic spin-orbit couplings are considered. However, for remote disorders, a rapid enhancement of current-induced spin polarization is always observed at high electron density, even in the case without cubic spin-orbit coupling. This result demonstrates the collision-related feature of current-induced spin polarization. The effects of different high order spin-orbit couplings on spin polarization can be comparable.

description: Anderson localization, i.e. the suppression of diffusion in lattices with random or incommensurate disorder, is a fragile interference phenomenon which is spoiled out in the presence of dephasing effects or fluctuating disorder. As a consequence, Anderson localization-delocalization phase transitions observed in Hermitian systems, such as in one-dimensional quasicrystals when the amplitude of the incommensurate potential is increased above a threshold, are washed out when dephasing effects are included. Here we consider localization-delocalization spectral phase transitions occurring in non-Hermitian quasicrystals with local incommensurate gain and loss, and show that, contrary to the Hermitian case, the non-Hermitian phase transition is robust against dephasing effects. The results are illustrated by considering synthetic quasicrystals in photonic mesh lattices.

description: Eukaryotic nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA)
typically evolves in a concerted manner, in which hundreds of rDNA sequences
within species show little or no variations, whereas the sequences of different
species diverge. There are few studies of the internal transcribed spacer
regions (ITS1–5.8S–ITS2) in teleostean fishes and only one report on
flatfishes. Here, we reported the discovery of two types of highly divergent
ITS1–5.8S–ITS2 rDNA sequences (Type A and B) in the genome of the Bloch’s
tonguesole, Paraplagusia blochii.
These sequences mainly differ in sequence length, secondary structure, and
minimum free energy. According to the potential features of pseudogenes, Type B
sequences are speculated to be putative pseudogenic ITS
regions. Cluster analyses also supported two major clades that corresponded to
the sequence type. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of
the ITS regions of tonguefish, and may therefore provide useful information for
future studies of the rDNA of flatfishes as well as the patterns of rDNA
evolution in teleostean fishes

description: We have obtained deep Hubble Space Telescope far-UV images of 15 starburst galaxies at z~1.3 in the GOODS fields to search for escaping Lyman continuum photons. These are the deepest far-UV images m_{AB}=28.7, 3σ, 1" diameter) over this large an area (4.83 arcmin^2) and provide the best escape fraction constraints for any galaxy at any redshift. We do not detect any individual galaxies, with 3σlimits to the Lyman Continuum (~700 Å) flux 50--149 times fainter (in f_nu) than the rest-frame UV (1500 Å) continuum fluxes. Correcting for the mean IGM attenuation (factor ~2), as well as an intrinsic stellar Lyman Break (~3), these limits translate to relative escape fraction limits of f_{esc,rel}4 and reionization of the intergalactic medium at z>6.

description: We study solvable spin chains where either fields or couplings vary linearly in space and create a sandwich-like structure of the ground state. We find that the entanglement entropy between two halves of a chain varies logarithmically with the interface width. After quenching to a homogeneous critical system, the entropy grows logarithmically in time in the XX model, but quadratically in the transverse Ising chain. We explain this behaviour and indicate generalizations to other power laws.

Ecology and taxonomy of mysids (Mysidacea : crustacea)
Creators: name: Fenton, Gwen Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The total number of species of mysids known from Australian waters is 94, spanning 38 genera. Distribution records and keys to their identification are provided. Of these species, three new genera and twelve new species from Tasmania and Bass Strait have been described herein. In addition, numerous new records have been reported. Forty-seven of the mysid species and eight genera are endemic to Australia. The Australian mysid fauna exhibits strong links with that of the Indo-West Pacific region. A 12-month field study was conducted at One Tree Point, Bruny Island Southern Tasmania, to investigate the role of mysids in an inshore coastal community. Fourteen species were recorded from the study site; of these, three i.e. Tenagomysis sp.2 n.sp., Anisomysis mixta australis and Paramesopodopsis rufa n.g. n.sp., formed dense swarms. The major peaks of abundance for each species were temporally separate. T.sp.2, A.mixta australis and P.rufa were found to exhibit a number of ecological differences, i.e. habitat partitioning (in zones parallel to shore), diet and diel activity, which may explain their co-existence. These three species bred continuously during spring, summer and autumn. Breeding continued at a lower level during winter for T.sp.2 and P.rufa, but A.mixta australis appeared to cease breeding over winter. The breeding pattern was quite similar to that reported for most temperate mysids throughout the world. The annual production was calculated from the field data for each species. Production was found to be greater for T.sp.2 than P.rufa and A.mixta australis, but the annual turnover (P:B) was higher for A.mixta australis (7.7) than T.sp.2 (5.5) and P.rufa (5.3). The values obtained were high compared to those reported for mysid species in colder climates. Trophic relationships within the mysid community were examined. Gut contents analysis of the three mysids revealed a basically omnivorous diet, but P.rufa fed to a greater degree on small crustaceans while the diet of T.sp.2 was composed mainly of large fragments of macroalgae. The stomach contents of A.mixta australis was composed of fine particulate detrital matter. Comparison of stable isotope ratios ( 13C: 12C and H:D) of the mysids with those of potential food sources supported these conclusions. In addition, several fish that fed on mysids were identified by analysis of their gut contents and others were implicated by comparison of their stable isotope ratios. The results suggest that apart from their importance in the diet of several fish species, these mysids play a significant role in the turnover of the macroalgal biomass, and may also be important in structuring the zooplankton and/or meiobenthic community. The results presented here have provided a major contribution to the knowledge of both taxonomy and ecology of Australian mysids. However, the need for continued examination of the taxonomy, biology and ecology of Australian mysids is recognized, and consequently, avenues for further research are suggested.

description: In this paper, inspired by the investigations on the theory of cosmological perturbations in Hořava-Liftshit cosmology, we calculated the spectrum of primordial perturbation leaded by a scalar field with modified dispersion relation ω\sim k^z/a^{p-1}, in which z is the critical exponent and p is generally not equal to z. We discussed that for fixed z, if the spectrum is required to be scale invariant, how should p depend on the background evolution. We concluded that there is always a room of parameters for the generation of scale invariant spectrum.

description: The topic of this thesis, valuing in the arts, involves the fine and performing arts, cultural values, kinds of education, and the quality of life. The purpose in talking about the value of the arts is to show how and why they have been valued throughout recorded history, to present an approach to art which fosters personal growth and enjoyment in the interaction with the arts, and to present arguments for the continued support by the present society for their encouragement and preservation. I will discuss false impressions about art which have limited the general public's enjoyment of arts, then show ways in which most of us are already familiar with arts concepts. How to view an art object, how aestheticians discuss art and how artists, viewers, and critics perceive art will also be discussed. I anticipate that readers will already have some awareness of the arts, and likely some involvement in one or more of them, but may have only limited acquaintance with a range of art forms, and may still be reluctant to venture further afield. Readers will be encouraged to expand their own present level of acquaintance to realize larger personal growth than was heretofore experienced or expected.

description: Bacteria produce metamorphosis-associated contractile (MAC) structures to induce larval metamorphosis in Hydroides elegans. The distribution and diversity of mac gene homologs in marine environments are largely unexplored. In the present study mac genes were examined in marine environments by analyzing 101 biofilm and 91 seawater metagenomes. There were more mac genes in biofilms than in seawater, and substratum type, location, or sampling time did not affect the mac genes in biofilms. The mac gene clusters were highly diverse and often incomplete while the three MAC components co-occurred with other genes of different functions. Genomic analysis of four Pseudoalteromonas and two Streptomyces strains revealed the mac genes transfers among different microbial taxa. It is proposed that mac genes are more specific to biofilms; gene transfer among different microbial taxa has led to highly diverse mac gene clusters; and in most cases, the three MAC components function individually rather than forming a complex.

Skill differentials among Canadian blue-collar workers
Creators: name: Scott, Richard Donald
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis is an inquiry into the behaviour of skill differentials among Canadian blue-color workers during the postwar period. It sets forth, mainly for expository purposes, a model of relative wage determination based on three elements: the theory of human capital, the standard theory of the firm, and a set of stock-flow identities pertaining to the skilled and unskilled labour forces. Besides yielding the familiar conclusion that percentage wage differentials vary positively with the discount rate and the length of time spent in skilled training and negatively with the length of the working life and the level of remuneration accorded trainees, the model predicts that differentials will undergo cycles of long duration. Whereas the major portion of the theoretical analysis is set in a framework of perfect competition, some attention is paid to the problem of relative wage determination in the presence of trade unions. The formal model serves as an organizational structure for a review of the literature. Existing hypotheses concerning the behaviour of skill differentials are distinguished as being either of a long- or of a short-run character. Long-run hypotheses deal with education and training, social attitudes and policy, migration flows, technological change, and the impact of unionization. Short-run hypotheses are those that make reference to the rate of unemployment and the rate of inflation. The empirical undertaken includes both time-series and cross-sectional studies. Summary statistics are produced in order to trace the movement of skill differentials among building tradesmen and among production workers in a composite sample of thirty-nine mining and manufacturing industries. The results obtained indicate a downward trend over the period surveyed. In the case of the thirty-nine-industry sample, regression analysis reveals the existence of significant positive relationships between skill differentials and each of the short-run variables, unemployment and inflation. The building trades exhibit no short-run response. Examination of a number of regional cross sections supports the view that skill differentials tend to be narrower in British Columbia than in other parts of Canada, but this confirmation applies only to manufacturing. In the building trades, British Columbia skill differentials do not manifest an extreme ranking. Examination of an interindustry cross section uncovers no significant relationships between skill differentials and industry-specific factors such as plant scale, labour intensity, and employment concentration. The level of unionization is marginally insignificant as an explanatory variable. Terence J. Wales Thesis Supervisor

description: Our goal is to provide a physical understanding of the elementary coupling between photon and biexciton and to derive the physical characteristics of the biexciton oscillator strength, following the procedure we used for trion. Instead of the more standard two-photon absorption, this work concentrates on molecular biexciton created by photon absorption in an exciton gas. We first determine the appropriate set of coordinates in real and momentum spaces to describe one biexciton as two interacting excitons. We then turn to second quantization and introduce the "Fourier transform in the exciton sense" of the biexciton wave function which is the relevant quantity for oscillator strength. We find that, like for trion, the oscillator strength for the formation of one biexciton out of one photon plus a \emph{single} exciton is extremely small: it is one biexciton volume divided by one sample volume smaller than the exciton oscillator strength. However, due to their quantum nature, trion and biexciton have absorption lines which behave quite differently. Electrons and trions are fermionic particles impossible to pile up all at the same energy. This would make the weak trion line spread with electron density, the peak structure only coming from singular many-body effects. By contrast, the bosonic nature of exciton and biexciton makes the biexciton peak mainly rise with exciton density, this rise being simply linear if we forget many-body effects between the photocreated exciton and the excitons present in the sample.

description: We study various properties of a one parameter mass term for the Skyrme model, originating from the works of Kopeliovich, Piette and Zakrzewski, through the use of axially symmetric solutions obtained numerically by simulated-annealing. These solutions allow us to observe asymptotic behaviors of the B=2 binding energies that differ to those previously obtained. We also decipher the characteristics of three distinct vibrational modes that appear as eigenstates of the vibrational Hamiltonian. This analysis further examine the assertion that the one parameter mass term offers a better account of baryonic matter than the traditional mass term.

description: We report on H-alpha spectroscopy of the 2009.0 spectroscopic event of eta Carinae collected via SMARTS observations using the CTIO 1.5 m telescope and echelle spectrograph. Our observations were made almost every night over a two month interval around the predicted minimum of eta Car. We observed a significant fading of the line emission that reached a minimum seven days after the X-ray minimum. About 17 d prior to the H-alpha flux minimum, the H-alpha profile exhibited the emergence of a broad, P Cygni type, absorption component (near a Doppler shift of -500 km/s) and a narrow absorption component (near -144 km/s and probably associated with intervening gas from the Little Homunculus Nebula). All these features were observed during the last event in 2003.5 and are probably related to the close periastron passage of the companion. We argue that these variations are consistent with qualitative expectations about changes in the primary star's stellar wind that result from the wind-wind collision with a massive binary companion and from atmospheric eclipses of the companion.

description: This study aimed to assess COVID-19 knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) among healthcare workers (HCWs) in northwest Malaysia and recognise the challenges faced working during the Movement Control Order (MCO). Commonly referred to as “MCO”, this order enforcement is a series of national quarantine and cordon sanitaire measures implemented by the federal government of Malaysia in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as of 18th March 2020. It is akin to a national lockdown. A multi-centric cross-sectional web-based study was conducted from 29th May to 27th July 2020 among HCWs in Perlis, Malaysia using a 19-item validated questionnaire [Cronbach’s alpha: 0.61 (knowledge domain), 0.74 (attitude domain), and 0.72 (practice domain)]. Challenges when working during MCO were identified from a self-rated five-point Likert scale of 14-item. There were a total of 373 respondents (response rate more than 40%); 48.0% were nurses, 14.7% were medical doctors, and 12.9% were administrative and technical support staffs. Majority of HCWs (90.1%,n = 336) had good knowledge, optimistic attitude (54.7%,n = 204) and good COVID-19 preventive measure practices (90.9%,n = 339). Multiple logistic regression demonstrated that profession was the single significant factor for good COVID-19 KAP. Though having lesser odds of good knowledge (aOR 0.07,95% CI:0.01-0.36,p = 0.009), nurses showed greater odds of good attitude (aOR 3.14,95% CI: 1.71-5.76,p = 0.011) and practice (aOR 10.69,95% CI:2.25-50.86, p = 0.022) as compared to doctors and dentists. Main challenges identified when working during MCO were increased workload (44.5%,n = 166), difficulty going out shopping (48.3%,n = 180), to exercise (40.2%,n = 150) and meet with family members (64.3%,n = 240). Generally, HCWs in Perlis had good KAP with regards to COVID-19 infection and its preventive measures. Challenges underlined by HCWs while working during the MCO were increased workload, difficulty to shop for daily essentials, exercise and meet with family members. Should good COVID-19 KAP be sustained, they might contribute to success in combating this disease.

description: A series of novel botanical active component 4-chromanone derivatives incorporating carboxamide and 1,3,4-thiadiazole thioether moieties were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial and activities antifungal against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicolaby (Xoc) and Mucor bainieri (M. bainieri), Mucor fragilis (M. fragilis), Trichoderma atroviride (T. atroviride), respectively. Antibacterial screening results suggested that the target compounds showed moderate to good antibacterial activities against Xac and Xoc, to the contrary, had lower inhibitory effects on M. fragilis, M. bainieri, and T. atroviride. Among the target compounds, compound 6-chloro-N-(5-(methylthio)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-4-oxochromane-2-carboxamide (6f) had the best inhibition rates against Xac (85.15% and 72.41%, respectivelty) and Xoc (95.14% and 82.09%) at 200 and 100 μg/mL, which were superior to Bismerthiazol and Thiodiazole copper. As far as we know, it is the first report on the design, synthesis, and bioactivity evaluation of novel 4-chromanone-derived compounds incorporating carboxamide and 1,3,4-thiadiazole thioether moieties.

description: Series from first manuscript with a working title of "The Terrorist", (a book of love poems): This manuscript is unique as it is about a topic in current consciousness, terrorism, but it is book of poetry of unrequited love by an Arabic man. I used Arabic and French througout and will still need a formal editor - Ken Babstock will be editing my manuscript in the next couple of months. My poems are uniquely set in between a natural and social landscape. I have used symbols from Egyptian history, birds, world geography including Canadian & Tunisian, love, sex, violence, anger, music, ekphrasis, rage, lust, longing. I do not seek to find answers, but simply went into this process unconsciously with brutal honesty and went into my self on a level I didn't even know was possible. I believe this is the process of individuation that Carl Jung termed in the early 20th century. It was excrutiating and exciting. I hope readers will find their own experience in my poems and feel great emotion, as I think all good art creates emotion.

Romantic love, ecstasy, and deprivation
Creators: name: Moore, Maureen Audrey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis treats the concept of romantic love in relation to women. It attempts to show that the stereotype of romantic love is a fantasy construction which supplies compensation to women who lack status and identity. The qualifier 'romantic' refers to the ecstasy which is thought to occur within the love experience. This ecstasy was present within the concept of courtly love and it has now become popularized as the prerogative of any lover and as a hallmark indicating the validity of love itself. In order to show the relationship between the present concept of romantic love and the social position of women, modern love-novels were examined and romantic love was then compared to spirit possession. A sample of books from the Harlequin Romance series was described and status differences between characters were counted. The difference between the initial and final situations of the romantic hero and heroine were noted. The analysis of love in the books shows that inequality in terms of gender membership is a precondition for love and that the heroine suffers some kind of initial lack which is fulfilled by her final unification with the hero. It is concluded that the dynamics of possession and romantic love are similar, that both kinds of ecstasy provide compensation for deprivation, and that individuals who succumb to possession, and women who are attracted to romantic love, are in a similar position in their societies. Thus romantic love functions as a way of dealing with deprivation. Women who lack status and identity seek the compensation of ecstatic love wherein they feel themselves to be possessed by a superior man.
Population imbalanced Fermi gases in quasi two dimensions

description: We study s-wave pairing of population imbalanced Fermi atoms in quasi two dimensions using a mean field theory. At zero temperature, we map out the phase diagram in the entire Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer-Bose Einstein condensation (BCS-BEC) crossover region by investigating the effect of weak atom tunneling between layers. We find that the superfluid phase stabilizes as one decreases the atom tunneling between layers. This allows one to control the superfluid-normal first order phase transition by tuning a single experimental parameter. Further, we find that a tunneling induced polarized superfluid phase appears in a narrow parameter region in the BEC regime. At Finite temperatures, we use a Landau-Ginzberg functional approach to investigate the possibility of spatially inhomogeneous Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phase in the weakly interacting BCS limit near the tricritical point of spatially homogenous superfluid, FFLO, and normal phases. We find that the normal-FFLO phase transition is first order transition as opposed to the continues transition predicted in zero temperature theories.

description: Imaging with non-classically correlated photon-pairs takes advantages over classical limits in terms of sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio. However, it is still a challenge to achieve a strong resilience to background noise and losses for practical applications. In this work, we present heralded single-pixel imaging that is remarkably robust against bright background noise and severe signal losses. Using a strong temporal correlation between a photon-pair and joint measurement-based imaging method, we achieve the suppression of noise up to 1000 times larger than the signal and also demonstrate the correlation-induced SNR enhancement factor of over 200 against 70 times larger noise and a 90% signal loss compared to non-time-gated classical imaging. Our work enables correlated imaging with a highly scalable photon capacity.

Experimental investigations of on-axis discrete frequency fan noise.
Creators: name: Leggat, Lennox John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The thesis describes experimental techniques used and results obtained in the investigation of the pure tone components of sound radiation from a commercial 19 inch axial flow fan. The causes and extent of the discrete tone sources were investigated by several methods: cross-correlation of fan surface pressure fluctuations with far field sound, spectral analysis of surface pressure, and examination of surface pressure waveforms. A unique feature involved the design of an apparatus for detecting and transmitting fan-borne pressure fluctuations off the rotating blades. "Causality Correlations" with the on-axis far field sound rendered dipole source strength distribution functions over a span wise line at 15 per cent chord from the leading edge of the fan blade and around a circumferential ring on the motor support strut at a fan radius of 89 per cent. Results indicate that the on-axis discrete tones are a result of source mechanisms causing force fluctuations on the blades and struts which in turn lead to sound radiation which is dipole in nature and is most intense on the axis of the fan. These mechanisms include ingestion of a concentrated vortex, modulation of the clearance between the blade tips and the fan shroud, flow separation around the inlet bell mouth, and fluctuations in the inflow velocity due to the proximity of the fan to the wedged wall of the Anechoic chamber. Crude integral approximations of source strength distributions over the surfaces of the blades and the struts indicated that sound radiation at the blade passage frequency from these two contributors to the overall sound would be about equal, although more sound radiation is expected to originate at the rotor.
Analytical approach to semiconductor Bloch equations

description: Although semiconductor Bloch equations have been widely used for decades to address ultrafast optical phenomena in semiconductors, they have a few important drawbacks: (i) Coulomb terms between free electron-hole pairs require Hartree-Fock treatment which, in its usual form, preserves excitonic poles but loses biexcitonic resonances. (ii) Solving the resulting coupled differential equations imposes heavy numerics which completely hide the physics. This can be completely avoided if, instead of free electron-hole pairs, we use correlated pairs, i.e., excitons. Their interactions are easy to handle through the recently constructed composite-exciton many-body theory, which allows us to \emph{analytically} obtain the time evolution of the polarization induced by a laser pulse. This polarization comes from Coulomb interactions between virtual excitons, but also from Coulomb-free fermion exchanges, which are dominant at large detuning.

description: Financial agglomeration (FA) may play an essential role in enhancing energy efficiency (EE) and, thus, is important from both theoretical and empirical viewpoints. However, few studies have investigated the causal nonlinear relationship between FA and EE. Hence, we first extend the novel ray slacks-based measure with global technology to evaluate the urban EE in China during 2003–2018. Next, we reexamine the nonlinear causality of FA on EE and then explore the underlying impact mechanism. The empirical results show that China’s urban EE is generally relatively low with distinct patterns of regional differences. Moreover, we find that the causal relationship between FA and EE follows an inverted U-shaped function rather than a linear one. FA promotes the improvement of EE only up to a certain threshold point, after which it reverses into an inhibitory effect. A further analysis based on the two-regime spatial Durbin panel model suggests that FA can indeed improve the EE of surrounding cities through positive externalities when the degree of FA in focal cities is not substantially greater than that in surrounding cities. However, when financial resources absorbed in certain focal cities become increasingly higher than that in most surrounding cities, the positive spillover effect would gradually disappear and even reverse into an undesirable siphon, thereby inhibiting the improvement of overall EE. These findings provide new insights for understanding the role of FA in sustainable development.

description: In recent years, many heavy mesons and charmonia were observed which do not fit in the conventional quark model expectations. Some of them are proposed to be hadronic molecules. Here we investigate the consequences of heavy quark spin symmetry on these heavy meson hadronic molecules. Heavy quark spin symmetry enables us to predict new heavy meson molecules and provides us with a method to test heavy meson molecule assumptions of some newly observed states. In particular, we predict an η_c'f_0(980) bound state as the spin-doublet partner of the Y(4660) proposed as a ψ'f_0(980) bound state with a mass of 4616^{+5}_{-6} MeV and the prominent decay mode η_c'ππ. The width is predicted to be Γ(η_c'ππ)=60\pm30 MeV. The pi^+π^- invariant mass spectrum and the line shape are calculated. We suggest to search for this state in B^{\pm}-->η_c'K^{\pm}π^+π^-, whose branching fraction is expected to be large.
