Declamatory color and persona in the tragedies of Seneca the younger
Creators: name: MacDougall, Natalie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Persona and color were two of the fundamental aspects of Roman declamation. The influence that these two aspects of declamation had on the tragedies of Seneca the Younger has been noted before. For this study, I narrowed my focus to the Controversiae of Seneca the Elder, the tragedian’s father. My approach to studying declamation and the tragedies of Seneca the Younger was to study persona and color in the treatment of two groups common to both the Controversiae and tragedies of Seneca the Younger: the family and women. I found that the manner in which characters within the Controversiae were identified, not by names but by familial or societal position, was reflected in the tragedies within both of the groups of characters which I studied. I also discovered that the characters in the tragedies of Seneca the Younger manipulate the declamatory features of persona and color more than has been previously noted. Within the family, characters either emphasize of deny kinship ties in order to defend against charges of impietas. The stereotypical women of declamation are present in the tragedies of Seneca the Younger. The tragic women, in fact, represent their own actions with reference to the stereotypical women from the Controversiae.
Consensus and continuity : the use of ideology in Putin's Russia
Creators: name: Resmini, Fabio
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The literature on Russian politics has devoted limited attention to the role of ideational factors in the development of the post-Soviet political system. The aim of this work is to bring ideology back in the discussion on the evolution of the regime under Vladimir Putin. This work argues that Putin’s regime has used ideology as a political tool to achieve two main goals: to foster consensus and to assure regime continuity beyond leadership change. Consensus was imposed around patriotism and through the figure of a super partes president. The emphasis on patriotic rhetoric allowed the Kremlin to gain control over the political spectrum and provided an ideational backing to the centralization of political power. Regime continuity was promoted by increasing the ideational capital of the presidential party – United Russia – in a threefold strategy: the formulation of “sovereign democracy,” the formalization of intra-party wings, and the adoption of “Russian conservatism” as an ideological label. This process to endow the party of power with an ideology marked a temporary decline in the regime’s personalist component and a permanent strengthening of its party element. Because ideology was formulated post-hoc to consolidate power, its coherence and persistence are subordinated to its utilitarian purpose. The result is an ideological product that sacrifices coherence for political expediency and discards certain ideological tenets when they fail to achieve their goal (sovereign democracy) or when they are no longer needed (Russian conservatism).

description: One-shot learning has become an important research topic in the last decade with many real-world applications. The goal of one-shot learning is to classify unlabeled instances when there is only one labeled example per class. Conventional problem setting of one-shot learning mainly focuses on the data that is already in feature space (such as images). However, the data instances in real-world applications are often more complex and feature vectors may not be available. In this paper, we study the problem of one-shot learning on attributed sequences, where each instance is composed of a set of attributes (e.g., user profile) and a sequence of categorical items (e.g., clickstream). This problem is important for a variety of real-world applications ranging from fraud prevention to network intrusion detection. This problem is more challenging than conventional one-shot learning since there are dependencies between attributes and sequences. We design a deep learning framework OLAS to tackle this problem. The proposed OLAS utilizes a twin network to generalize the features from pairwise attributed sequence examples. Empirical results on real-world datasets demonstrate the proposed OLAS can outperform the state-of-the-art methods under a rich variety of parameter settings.

description: We present all-order results for the highest three large-x logarithms of the splitting functions P_qg and P_gq and of the coefficient functions C_phi,q, C_2,g and C_L,g for structure functions in Higgs- and gauge-boson exchange DIS in massless perturbative QCD. The corresponding coefficients have been derived by studying the unfactorized partonic structure functions in dimensional regularization independently in terms of their iterative structure and in terms of the constraints imposed by the functional forms of the real- and virtual-emission contributions together with their Kinoshita--Lee-Nauenberg cancellations required by the mass-factorization theorem. The numerical resummation corrections are small for the splitting functions, but partly very large for the coefficient functions. The highest two (three for C_L,g) logarithms can be resummed in a closed form in terms of new special functions recently introduced in the context of the resummation of the leading logarithms

Investigating the role of sucrose phosphate synthase and hexokinase in carbon sink strength.
Creators: name: Lazarova, Sofiya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The production, transport and assimilation of organic carbon ultimately drive the growth of plants. In this work, two enzymes, Sucrose Phosphate Synthase (SPS) and Hexokinase (HXK), prominent in their role of carbon production in the form of sucrose at the source, have been examined for their role at the sink, where carbon is assimilated. It has been postulated that the presence of sucrose-forming enzymes in the sink serves a function to reform sucrose from apoplastic cleavage or partake in a “futile” cycle of sucrose cleavage and such that small changes in metabolite enable large changes in sink carbon strength. In order to determine if SPS is involved in carbon sink strength, A. thaliana TDNA insertional lines and P. trichocarpa RNAi stem and developing xylem with decreased SPS transcript expression were analyzed. It was determined that loss of SPS transcript generally increases soluble sugars: sucrose, glucose and fructose, in the leaf and stem as well as starch in the leaf. Structural carbohydrates were generally unaffected and Klason soluble lignin decreased. Similarly, A. thaliana TDNA insertional lines with decreased HXK transcript expression were utilized to determine the role of HXK using stem tissue as a carbon sink model. Soluble sugars mainly increased in the leaf of athxk3 TDNA insertional line whereas starch increased in both leaf and stem of the same line. Interestingly, structural carbohydrate levels of the cell wall were perturbed in HXK TDNA insertional lines. The results were found to be consistent with the postulated roles of SPS and HXK that predict a function in sucrose formation from apoplastic cleavage, which allows for fine-tuning of major intracellular metabolites and adjustment of sink strength.

description: Cross-view geo-localization is a task of matching the same geographic image from different views, e.g., unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and satellite. The most difficult challenges are the position shift and the uncertainty of distance and scale. Existing methods are mainly aimed at digging for more comprehensive fine-grained information. However, it underestimates the importance of extracting robust feature representation and the impact of feature alignment. The CNN-based methods have achieved great success in cross-view geo-localization. However it still has some limitations, e.g., it can only extract part of the information in the neighborhood and some scale reduction operations will make some fine-grained information lost. In particular, we introduce a simple and efficient transformer-based structure called Feature Segmentation and Region Alignment (FSRA) to enhance the model's ability to understand contextual information as well as to understand the distribution of instances. Without using additional supervisory information, FSRA divides regions based on the heat distribution of the transformer's feature map, and then aligns multiple specific regions in different views one on one. Finally, FSRA integrates each region into a set of feature representations. The difference is that FSRA does not divide regions manually, but automatically based on the heat distribution of the feature map. So that specific instances can still be divided and aligned when there are significant shifts and scale changes in the image. In addition, a multiple sampling strategy is proposed to overcome the disparity in the number of satellite images and that of images from other sources. Experiments show that the proposed method has superior performance and achieves the state-of-the-art in both tasks of drone view target localization and drone navigation. Code will be released at https://github.com/Dmmm1997/FSRA

description: The ALICE experiment is shown to be well suited for studies of exclusive final states from central diffractive reactions. The gluon-rich environment of the central system allows detailed QCD studies and searches for exotic meson states, such as glueballs, hybrids and new charmonium-like states. It would also provide a good testing ground for detailed studies of heavy quarkonia. Due to its central barrel performance, ALICE can accurately measure the low-mass central systems with good purity. The efficiency of the Forward Multiplicity Detector (FMD) and the Forward Shower Counter (FSC) system for detecting rapidity gaps is shown to be adequate for the proposed studies. With this detector arrangement, valuable new data can be obtained by tagging central diffractive processes.

description: There are a number of situations in which several signals are simultaneously recorded in complex systems, which exhibit long-term power-law cross-correlations. The multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis (MF-DCCA) approaches can be used to quantify such cross-correlations, such as the MF-DCCA based on detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-X-DFA) method. We develop in this work a class of MF-DCCA algorithms based on the detrending moving average analysis, called MF-X-DMA. The performances of the MF-X-DMA algorithms are compared with the MF-X-DFA method by extensive numerical experiments on pairs of time series generated from bivariate fractional Brownian motions, two-component autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average processes and binomial measures, which have theoretical expressions of the multifractal nature. In all cases, the scaling exponents $h_{xy}$ extracted from the MF-X-DMA and MF-X-DFA algorithms are very close to the theoretical values. For bivariate fractional Brownian motions, the scaling exponent of the cross-correlation is independent of the cross-correlation coefficient between two time series and the MF-X-DFA and centered MF-X-DMA algorithms have comparative performance, which outperform the forward and backward MF-X-DMA algorithms. We apply these algorithms to the return time series of two stock market indexes and to their volatilities. For the returns, the centered MF-X-DMA algorithm gives the best estimates of $h_{xy}(q)$ since its $h_{xy}(2)$ is closest to 0.5 as expected, and the MF-X-DFA algorithm has the second best performance. For the volatilities, the forward and backward MF-X-DMA algorithms give similar results, while the centered MF-X-DMA and the MF-X-DFA algorithms fails to extract rational multifractal nature.

description: We study the glass transition of binary mixtures of dipolar particles in two dimensions within the framework of mode-coupling theory, focusing in particular on the influence of composition changes. In a first step, we demonstrate that the experimental system of König et al. [Eur. Phys. J. E 18, 287 (2005)] is well described by point dipoles through a comparison between the experimental partial structure factors and those from our Monte Carlo simulation. For such a mixture of point particles we show that there is always a plasticization effect, i.e. a stabilization of the liquid state due to mixing, in contrast to binary hard disks. We demonstrate that the predicted plasticization effect is in qualitative agreement with experimental results. Furthermore, also some general properties of the glass transition lines are discussed.

Metal recovery from medium temperature pressure leach residues
Creators: name: Ward, Tim
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Residues of the CESL Cu and Vale Ni sulphide medium temperature pressure leach contain elevated levels of the interest Cu and Ni metals. Metal losses are disproportionately found within a poorly formed amorphous and semi-crystalline iron oxide phase analogous to ferrihydrite. This phase results from incomplete ferric hydrolysis and precipitation that occurs simultaneously with the leaching of the sulphide minerals. An investigation was conducted by ageing the residues at 95°C in water to assess the extraction of lost Cu and Ni and the transformation of ferrihydrite to the more crystalline goethite and hematite species. It was found that 22% of the Cu could be removed from the CESL residue in 24 hours. Repeated ageing was only capable of extracting 38% of the Cu. Extractions of 22% of the Ni and 6% of the Cu were achieved in 24 hours from the Vale residue. Recovery of the lost Cu and Ni was mainly attributed to the washing of entrained and adsorbed Cu and Ni sulphates evenly distributed throughout the residues. A small amount of Cu and Ni was gained from ferrihydrite dissolution during the ageing process. Further investigations by SEM-EDS revealed the presence of unleached Cu and Ni sulphides that also contribute notable metal losses. EMP analysis showed that all hematite precipitated in the Vale residue contained Cu, Ni and SO₄²−. The average hematite particle consisted of 66.1% Fe, 0.85% Ni, 0.73% Cu and 1.19% SO₄²− for an equivalent of 30% Ni and 25% Cu losses to the residue. QXRD analysis of the aged residue showed little evidence of ferrihydrite transformation though ageing stabilised the residues by reducing the amount of X-ray amorphous material present. Improved stability was confirmed by a reduction in mass loss following treatment by a sequential extraction procedure utilising acidified hydroxylamine hydrochloride. This treatment dissolves the ferrihydrite present in the residues and is used as a proxy to assess residue stability and losses of Cu and Ni to the non-crystalline iron oxide phase.

description: Gaia Data Release 3 will contain more than a billion sources with positions, parallaxes, and proper motions. In addition, for hundreds of millions of stars, it will include low-resolution blue photometer (BP) and red photometer (RP) spectra. Obtained by dispersing light with prisms, these spectra have resolutions that are too low to allow us to measure individual spectral lines and bands. However, the combined BP/RP spectra can be used to estimate some stellar properties such as $T_{\text{eff}}$, $\log{g}$, and $\left[ \text{M} / \text{H} \right]$. We investigate the feasibility of using the ExtraTrees algorithm to estimate the alpha element to iron abundance ratio $\left[ α/ \text{H} \right]$ from low-resolution BP/RP spectra. To infer $\left[ α/ \text{H} \right]$ from the spectra, we created regression models trained on two samples: a set of synthetic spectra and a set of observed spectra from stars that have known $\left[ α/ \text{H} \right]$ since they have been observed using HERMES. We applied each model to the other sample and to a larger observed sample to assess the performance of the models. In addition, we used our models to analyse stars from the Gaia-Enceladus structure. We find that models using the ExtraTrees algorithm can be used to estimate $\left[ α/ \text{H} \right]$ from low-resolution BP/RP spectra of cool stars. However, they do this by exploiting correlations between $\left[ α/ \text{H} \right]$ and other parameters, rather than the causal effect of $\left[ α/ \text{H} \right]$ on the spectrum. Hence, they are unlikely to be useful in studies that attempt to distinguish stars that only differ in $\left[ α/ \text{H} \right]$.

Several DME implementation strategies are tested for neutron drop systems in harmonic traps by comparing to Hartree-Fock (HF) and ab initio no-core full configuration (NCFC) calculations with a model interaction (Minnesota potential). The new DME with exact treatment of Hartree contributions is found to best reproduce HF results and supplementing the functional with fit Skyrme-like contact terms shows systematic improvement toward the full NCFC results.

Buoyancy-driven flow of viscoplastic fluids
Creators: name: Karimfazli, Ida
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: We study natural convection of viscoplastic fluids in 2D domains. A sufficiently large yield stress introduces a static solution to the Navier–Stokes equations that may not otherwise exist. We find conditions that guarantee such motionless regimes and investigate flow development between static and advective states. Considering three problems, we explore the various ways in which the yield stress modifies the hydrodynamics of steady and transient natural convection. We start by analyzing natural convection in an infinitely long rectangular cavity. Flow is driven by a constant horizontal temperature difference and a stabilizing stratification imposed on the walls. We classify different 1D flow regimes and establish that an arbitrary number of unyielded regions can exist in the domain. Secondly, considering a square cavity, we investigate conditional and unconditional stability of the stationary state. We study the transition of the fluid between conductive and advective states, revealing the possibility of temporary arrest of the flow at yield stresses less than the critical value. Finally, we study natural convection of viscoplastic fluids due to a heater of finite width positioned on the bottom wall of a cavity. We show that if the yield stress is less than the critical value, the flow starts after a finite time. We characterize transient flow and explain the processes that result in the observation of pulsing plumes at high Rayleigh. Overall, we investigate the force balance that governs the existence of steady motion, or lack thereof. When the steady regime is advective, we illustrate that depending on the boundary and initial conditions flow may start immediately or flow onset may be delayed by a finite time. We focus on problems where flow onset is due to dominance of buoyancy stresses and is not a consequence of hydrodynamic instability. In §4 we clarify the difference. Further, we explore transient flow dynamics and establish that the yield stress can intensify oscillatory transient features. This results in the dominance of different transport methods and corresponding timescales at different stages of flow development. We show that under appropriate conditions, this may lead to temporary flow arrest and create other noteworthy dynamics.

description: This study focuses on the impact of digital finance on households. While digital finance has brought financial inclusion, it has also increased the risk of households falling into a debt trap. We provide evidence that supports this notion and explain the channel through which digital finance increases the likelihood of financial distress. Our results show that the widespread use of digital finance increases credit market participation. The broadened access to credit markets increases household consumption by changing the marginal propensity to consume. However, the easier access to credit markets also increases the risk of households falling into a debt trap.

description: Context. The black hole candidate GX 339-4 exhibited an X-ray outburst in January 2010, which is still continuing. We here discuss the timing and the spectral properties of the outburst using RXTE data. Aims. Our goal is to study the timing and spectral properties of GX 339-4 using its recent outburst data and extract information about the nature of the accretion flow. Methods. We use RXTE archival data of the recent GX 339-4 outburst and analyze them with the NASA HEAsoft package, version 6.8. We then compare the observed quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) frequencies with those from existing shock oscillation model and obtain the nature of evolution of the shock locations during the outburst. Results. We found that the QPO frequencies are monotonically increasing from 0.102 Hz to 5.69 Hz within a period of ~ 26 days. We explain this evolution with the propagating oscillatory shock (POS) solution and find the variation of the initial and final shock locations and strengths. The model fits also give the velocity of the propagating shock wave, which is responsible for the generation of QPOs and their evolutions, at ~ 10 m/s. We observe from the spectra that up to 2010 April 10, the object was in a hard state. After that, it went to the hard-intermediate state. On April 18, it had a state transition and went to the soft-intermediate state. On May 15, another state transition was observed and the source moved to the soft state. Conclusions. As in the previously fitted outburst sources, this source also showed the tendency of a rapidly increasing QPO frequency ($ν_{QPO}$) in a viscous time scale, which can be modeled quite accurately. In this case, the shock seems to have disappeared at about ~ 172 Schwarzschild radii, unlike in the 2005 outburst of GRO J1655-40, where the shock disappeared behind the horizon.

Aero-kinaesthetics : airport aesthetics and the regulation of mobilities in the terminal
Creators: name: Hubregtse, Menno Jacobus Stuart
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation introduces an aesthetic type named "aero-kinaesthetics" which offers a new understanding of the operation of major international air terminals. It allows for a critical comprehension of the terminal's objective of securely processing passengers as well as its more spectacular features involving commercial facilities and cultural components. Although this analysis of aero-kinaesthetics is based on the design of numerous international terminals, it focuses on Hong Kong International Airport, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, London Heathrow Terminal 5, and Vancouver's YVR. This investigation not only examines the architecture and design at these four sites but also the sculptures and installations commissioned for their publicly accessible spaces. Aero-kinaesthetics encompasses two aspects of airport aesthetics pertaining to movement. The first aspect is a functional aesthetic determined by the airport's role as both a mobility-system that regulates and processes passengers and as a consumption centre that relies on profits generated by passenger spending. The second aspect of aero-kinaesthetics, which pertains to the original meaning of aesthetics as 'perception by feeling,' considers how air terminal artworks and design might operate on an affective register to elicit virtual sensations of kinaesthesia. Air terminal artworks and design often have movement-related themes. This visual imagery in many cases refers to a quality of movement that is less restricted than the kind of movement that is typically experienced by passengers transiting through the terminal. These two aspects operate in tandem. While the first aspect of airport aesthetics is exploited at my four sites to organize passengers' movements into ordered, directional stop-and-go flows, the second aspect appears as visual imagery that represents relatively unconstrained movements. The first three chapters examine how and to what extent these two aspects appear at my four sites. The fourth chapter considers how aero-kinaesthetics pertains to the political aspects of controlling passenger movement across borders. The final chapter addresses how this dissertation is a new type of investigation of spatial practices.

description: Abstract
Introduction: The increasing incidence of stunting has the potential to have an impact on morbidity and mortality associated with stunting, so further efforts are needed for prevention, and early treatment of stunted children. Objective: To map the types of applications used to prevent stunting.  Design: A scoping review Methods: We reviewed the study empirically by following the 5-stage  Arkey and O'Malley scoping review framework. The databases used in this study are PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Wiley Online Library, and Garuda from 2020-2023. Results:  We identified 880,468 relevant articles from literature searches (we took 701 articles from Pubmed; 655,732 from Science direct; 182,532 from Proquest; 41,458 from Wiley Online Library; and 45 from Garuda). After removing 199 duplicate articles and by title/abstract, we filtered 169 articles with fulltext so that we got 12 articles in data extraction. There are twelve articles discussing the application of stunting prevention. Android-based applications are effective in improving health services because they are easy to use, widely used in obtaining information, and easy to carry anywhere. Conclusion: Android and web-based applications can be used as an effort to prevent stunting events.

description: Microtubules have long been known to play a vital role in plant growth and development, which is a complex process and needs to be regulated by both environmental and endogenous hormonal signals. CLASP, an important microtubuleassociated protein, has been shown to be involved in both cell division and expansion. The major goal of my thesis was to explore the function of CLASP in new pathways as well as to identify novel factors that are responsible for its function and distribution. Yeast 2-hybird analysis done independently by two of our collaborators indicated that CLASP interacts strongly with the endocytic membrane-associated protein SNX1. SNX1 had been implicated in the intracellular trafficking of the auxin efflux carrier PIN2. We proved the direct interaction between CLASP and SNX1 by colocalization and BiFC using live cell imaging and we found that clasp-1 mutants have an altered distribution pattern of SNX1, reduced abundance of PIN2 and a series of auxin-related phenotypes such as dwarfism, enhanced lateral branching and aberrant auxin distribution. Druginduced microtubule disruption caused clasp-1-like defects on PIN2 stability. This study illustrated the role of CLASP and microtubules in polar auxin transport and auxin signalling pathway. Previous studies revealed a cross-talk between auxin and brassinosteroids. I found that the two major transcription factors in the brassinosteroid signalling pathway directly target the CLASP promoter to repress its transcription. Reduced CLASP expression is correlated with a transverse orientation of cortical microtubules in root meristematic cells, switching them from division to differentiation. Also CLASP and microtubules stabilize the BR receptor BRI1 by preventing its degradation, a similar mechanism as for PIN2. This research highlights the importance of CLASP in BR-modulated meristem cell identity and the potential role of CLASP as a node between auxin and BR pathways. I carried out an immunoprecipitation experiment to identify putative CLASP interactors and obtained TRM19. Further analysis failed to confirm a direct interaction but suggested that TRM19 is a microtubule-associated protein. Its high expression in dividing cells is consistent with prior report that it functions in PPB formation during the cell cycle.

description: The properties of semidilute polymer solutions are investigated at equilibrium and under shear flow by mesoscale simulations, which combine molecular dynamics simulations and the multiparticle collision dynamics approach. In semidilute solution, intermolecular hydrodynamic and excluded volume interactions become increasingly important due to the presence of polymer overlap. At equilibrium, the dependence of the radius of gyration, the structure factor, and the zero-shear viscosity on the polymer concentration is determined and found to be in good agreement with scaling predictions. In shear flow, the polymer alignment and deformation are calculated as a function of concentration. Shear thinning, which is related to flow alignment and finite polymer extensibility, is characterized by the shear viscosity and the normal stress coefficients.

description: The catanionic system didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB)- sodium taurodeoxycholate (STDC)-D2O is characterized by an exceptionally extended L1 region. The comparison of self-diffusion coefficient of the solvent and the DDAB embedded in the micelles provided information about hydration of the aggregates. Moreover, correlating self-diffusion and 14N NMR relaxation measurements new insight could be obtained regarding the translational and rotational micellar motions in the crowded solutions of systems with 0.2 DDABSTDC molar ratio. 1H 2D NMR spectra gave some hints about the mutual arrangement of DDAB and STDC within the aggregates. For samples with 1.8 and 2.6 DDAB/STD molar ratios the 14N data were in agreement with the presence of somewhat branched, interconnected micelles. 23Na and 81Br dynamic parameters resulted particularly sensitive to the surrounding environment. The peculiar rheological behaviour of the, highly concentrated, branched micelles samples, namely the steady oscillations in the step tests, was found to be an example of instability originated by the combined effect of material elasticity and slippage at the fixed wall.

description: We outline a general procedure to derive first-order differential equations obeyed by geodesic orbits over two-dimensional (2D) surfaces of revolution immersed or embedded in ordinary three-dimensional (3D) Euclidean space. We illustrate that procedure with an application to a wormhole model introduced by Morris and Thorne (MT), which provides a prototypical case of a `splittable space-time' geometry. We obtain analytic solutions for geodesic orbits expressed in terms of elliptic integrals and functions, which are qualitatively similar to, but even more fundamental than, those that we previously reported for Flamm's paraboloid of Schwarzschild geometry. Two kinds of geodesics correspondingly emerge. Regular geodesics have turning points larger than the `throat' radius. Thus, they remain confined to one half of the MT wormhole. Singular geodesics funnel through the throat and connect both halves of the MT wormhole, perhaps providing a possibility of `rapid inter-stellar travel.' We provide numerical illustrations of both kinds of geodesic orbits on the MT wormhole.

description: The class of finitely presented algebras over a field K with a set of generators a_1,...,a_n and defined by homogeneous relations of the form a_1a_2...a_n = a_{sigma(1)}a_{sigma(2)}...a_{sigma(n)}, where sigma runs through an abelian subgroup H of Sym_{n}, the symmetric group, is considered. It is proved that the Jacobson radical of such algebras is zero. Also, it is characterized when the monoid S_n(H), with the "same" presentation as the algebra, is cancellative in terms of the stabilizer of 1 and the stabilizer of n in H. This work is a continuation of earlier work of Cedo, Jespers and Okninski.

description: Green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a marker gene has facilitated biological research in plant-microbe interactions. However, our knowledge about the effects of introduction of this marker protein in a microbe is very limited. I analyzed the effect of GFP-tagging of a plant growth-promoting bacterium, Paenibacillus polymyxa P2b-2R, on its ability to fix nitrogen and promote growth of important crop species: corn, canola and tomato. To evaluate this, corn, canola and tomato seeds were inoculated with P2b-2R and P2b-2Rgfp and grown for 40 days. Seedlings were harvested 20, 30 and 40 days after inoculation for evaluation of rhizospheric and endophytic colonization (cfu). Biological nitrogen fixation (¹⁵N dilution) and growth response (length and biomass) of P2b-2Rgfp inoculated seedlings was also compared with control and P2b-2R inoculated seedlings. The entire experiment was repeated to confirm the treatment effects. P2b-2Rgfp inoculated seedlings (i) accumulated upto 55% more biomass than non-inoculated controls and 17% more biomass than P2b-2R treated seedlings; (ii) were upto 41% longer than controls and 17% longer than P2b-2R treated seedlings; and (iii) fixed 18% of nitrogen from atmosphere (5% higher than P2b-2R). Canola seedlings inoculated with P2b-2Rgfp (i) had 118% more biomass than controls and 69% more biomass than P2b-2R treated seedlings; (ii) were 69% longer than controls and 37% longer than P2b-2R treated seedlings; and (iii) derived 22% of nitrogen from atmosphere (6% more than P2b-2R). But in case of tomato, P2b-2Rgfp and P2b-2R inoculated seedlings were analogous in terms of growth promotion and nitrogen fixation. Seedlings inoculated with either P2b-2Rgfp or P2b-2R were nearly 40% longer than controls, assimilated nearly 90% more biomass than controls, and fixed nearly 17% of nitrogen from atmosphere. P2b-2Rgfp and P2b-2R strains formed consistent rhizospheric and endophytic populations in corn, canola and tomato roots. To the best of my knowledge, these results represent the first evidence that transformation of a bacterial strain by GFP can significantly enhance its plant growth-promoting efficacy in corn and canola. Since the results of tomato were contrary to corn and canola, it can also be concluded that effect of GFP-tagging of P2b-2R might vary depending on the host plant.

description: An important theorem of Ling states that if $G$ is any factorizable non-fixing group of homeomorphisms of a paracompact space then its commutator subgroup $[G,G]$ is perfect. This paper is devoted to further studies on the algebraic structure (e.g. uniform perfectness, uniform simplicity) of $[G,G]$ and $[\tilde G,\tilde G]$, where $\tilde G$ is the universal covering group of $G$. In particular, we prove that if $G$ is bounded factorizable non-fixing group of homeomorphisms then $[G,G]$ is uniformly perfect (Corollary 3.4). The case of open manifolds is also investigated. Examples of homeomorphism groups illustrating the results are given.
