The book multiple : Treatise on Military Preparedness (1621) and encyclopedic practice in seventeenth-century China
Creators: name: Basham, Sarah A. G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: In 1621, with Jurchen armies threatening Ming China’s (1368–1644) northeastern border, Mao Yuanyi 茅元儀 (1594–1640) finished a compendium titled Wu bei zhi 武備志 (Treatise on military preparedness). In response to rapidly changing social, intellectual, economic, and political circumstances in early-seventeenth-century Chinese society, elites produced increasing numbers of technical compendia on statecraft and concrete studies. Scholars have argued that encyclopedias in seventeenth-century China reflected epistemic changes analogous to the new emphasis on empiricism and information collection in early modern Europe, but have not explained the intellectual and social practices that produced these tomes, their compilers’ epistemic assumptions that shaped these practices, and contemporary notions of technical expertise. Using Wu bei zhi as a case study, this dissertation asks what practices specific to the late Ming dynasty produced books like Wu bei zhi and enacted the figure of the expert compiler. It explores what assumptions about knowledge and expertise underwrote these practices, and how the practices and objects they enacted changed over time. Drawing on the ontological and practice turns in critical theory, especially the work of Annemarie Mol, and on methods in the history of the book, especially reader response criticism, I argue that Wu bei zhi is a multiple yet coherent epistemic and material object produced through changing social and intellectual practices. Chapter 2 describes the citation and information organization practices used in Wu bei zhi; Chapter 3 examines the social practices in Mao Yuanyi’s correspondence; Chapter 4 examines the printed punctuation in Wu bei zhi; Chapter 5 compares these practices to those observable in other contemporary statecraft compendia; and Chapter 6 examines the responses of later readers to Wu bei zhi and material evidence of reading practices in surviving late-Qing dynasty (1644–1911) copies of the text. Ultimately, I argue that late-Ming practices of citation, information organization, punctuation, and interpersonal communication enacted a notion of expertise dependent on mastery of textual knowledge and the ability to extrapolate that to its application in practice. Mao Yuanyi and his book mutually constructed one another as objects, though the underlying understanding of expertise changed over time.

A Survey of 286 Virgo Cluster Galaxies at Optical griz and Near-IR H-band: Surface Brightness Profiles and Bulge-Disk Decompositions

description: We present griz and H-band surface brightness profiles and bulge-disk decompositions for a morphologically-broad sample of 286 Virgo cluster galaxies. The H-band data come from a variety of sources including our survey of 171 galaxies at the UH 2.2-m, CFHT and UKIRT telescopes, and another 115 galaxies from the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey and GOLDMine archives. The optical data for all 286 Virgo galaxies were extracted from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) images. The H-band and SDSS griz data were analyzed in a homogeneous manner using our own software, yielding a consistent set of deep, multi-band surface brightness profiles for each galaxy. Average surface brightness profiles per morphological bin were created in order to characterize the variety of galaxy light profiles across the Hubble sequence. The 1D bulge-disk decomposition parameters, as well as non-parametric galaxy measures, such as effective radius, effective surface brightness and light concentration, are presented for all 286 galaxies in each of the five optical/near-infrared wavebands. The profile decompositions account for bulge and disk components, spiral arms, nucleus and atmospheric blurring. The Virgo spiral galaxy bulges typically have a Sersic index n ~ 1, while elliptical galaxies prefer n ~ 2. No galaxy spheroid requires n > 3. The light profiles for 70% of the Virgo elliptical galaxies reveal the presence of both a spheroid and disk component. A more in-depth discussion of the structural parameter trends can be found in McDonald et al (2009b). The data provided here should serve as a base for studies of galaxy structure and stellar populations in the cluster environment. The galaxy light profiles and bulge-disk decomposition results are available at the Centre de Donnees astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS; http://cds.u-strasbg.fr) and the author's own website (http://www.astro.queensu.ca/virgo).

Cross Section and Double Helicity Asymmetry in Charged Hadron Production in p+p Collisions at sqrt(s)=62.4 GeV at PHENIX
Creators: name: PHENIX Collaboration

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The cross section and double-helicity asymmetry for production of non-identified positive and negative charged hadrons at midrapidity in p+p collisions at sqrt(s) = 62.4 GeV have been measured by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) for a transverse momentum range of 0.5-4.5 GeV/c. The cross section measurements are compared to next-to-leading order and next-to-leading log perturbative QCD calculations, providing information on the applicability of these calculation techniques in the measured kinematic range. The double-helicity asymmetry measurement at this moderate energy provides sensitivity to Delta G, the gluon spin contribution to the spin of the proton, up to modestly larger values of the gluon momentum fraction than previous RHIC measurements at 200 GeV.

description: The $S_3$ symmetry is shown to be a very good approximate symmetry when it is broken in a specific way. This is true both in quark sector and in lepton sector. The way to break it is implied by the K-M mechanism applied not to the mixing matrix but to the mass matrices. In quark sector, we have an almost perfect fitting to the experimental data, and in lepton sector, we have a precision for the $θ_{13}$.

description: We discuss the recent excess seen by the CDF Collaboration in the dijet invariant mass distribution produced in association with a $W$ boson. We analyze the possibility of such a signal within the context of a $U(1)_X$ Stueckelberg extension of the Standard Model where the new gauge boson couples only to quarks. In addition to the analysis of the $Wjj$ anomaly we also discuss the production of $Zjj$ and $γjj$ at the Tevatron. The analysis is then extended to the Large Hadron Collider with $\sqrt{s}=7 {\rm TeV}$ and predictions for the dijet signals are made.

description: Bulu and Peterongan are traditional markets with a history related to Semarang City, Indonesia. They have both been transformed into new markets with better and more complete buildings and facilities. It was conducted by the government to realize the people’s market revitalization program and sustainable development goals (SDGs) because sustainability is very important for historical buildings. This however, has reduced their conservative buildings due to the reconstruction of the Bulu Market after a fire accident and almost 75% of the buildings in Peterongan Market. The development caused a reduction in the demand of traders to sell and customers to shop due to the discomfort provided by the post-revitalization buildings. Therefore, a qualitative method was applied in this study to explain the phenomenon and sustainability of the post-revitalization of these two markets, and the findings are expected to be used in forming the strategy to encourage the sustainability of these markets.

description: We calculate the thermodynamic functions of pure-glue QCD to three-loop order using the hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory (HTLpt) reorganization of finite temperature quantum field theory. We show that at three-loop order hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory is compatible with lattice results for the pressure, energy density, and entropy down to temperatures $T\simeq3\;T_c$. Our results suggest that HTLpt provides a systematic framework that can used to calculate static and dynamic quantities for temperatures relevant at LHC.

A mixed method study on recognizing the areas of influence by urban planners in fostering social interactions in public spaces: evidence from Iran.
Creators: name: Amerian, Mohammad
Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2021

description: Due to the negative consequences of the rapid growth of urbanization in Iran, public spaces have suffered a lot of damage in recent years. Public spaces, which are generally areas for the formation of social interactions, have distanced themselves from their original concept in recent years in Iran. The main objective of this study is to investigate the promotion of social interaction in Iranian public spaces through urban planning interventions. Data used in this study were obtained through semi-structured interviews with practitioners and researchers in urban planning and questionnaire. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the interviews and the findings of the quantitative section were analyzed through the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach in Smart PLS 3. Our findings show that promoting social interactions in public spaces requires intervention in three pillars: the built environment, urban management and citizens’ demanding approach.

Urban sprawl and air quality in European Cities: an empirical assessment
Creators: name: Cappelli, Federica

Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2021

description: In this paper we estimate the relationship between urban sprawl and a measure of air quality, namely the number of days in which the PM10 concentration exceeds safeguard limits in European Union cities. Building on a multidimensional representation of sprawl, the paper employs several indicators to account for built-up area development, population density, and residential discontinuity. The paper employs generalised additive models to disentangle the non-linear effects in the variables and the interaction effects of the three sprawl dimensions. A significant and robust effect of urban morphology emerges after controlling for socio-economic, demographic, and climatic factors and the geographical location of the city. We find that urban sprawl impacts positively on pollutant concentration, but the effect is highly context-specific because of threshold effects and interactions.

description: The study examined the effect of collection development policy on library resources and users in university libraries in the South-South Geo-Political Zone of Nigeria. A collection development policy established ground rules for planning and budgeting, selecting and acquiring library resources. These documents provide a framework for coordinated collection development programs for academic libraries for effective service to the academic community. A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. A purposive sampling technique was used to draw a sample of one hundred and fifty (150) library users from three university libraries namely: University of Calabar (UNICAL), Cross River State University of Technology (CRUTECH), and University of Uyo (UNIUYO). The instrument used to collect data was titled: Collection Development Policy on Library Resources and Users Questionnaire (CDPLRUQ). Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.78 was established. Simple percentages were used to analyze the data collected from the respondents. From the findings, it was observed that problems such as funding pattern, information explosion, and inflation were some of the variables affecting the smooth collection development policy in Nigerian university libraries. It was recommended that the university libraries should train the librarians on business and negotiation skills that will enable them to understand the integrity of licensing and negotiation involved in the subscription of resources. More so, there should be an increase in the internet bandwidth to improve the network access to resources on regular basis. KEYWORDS: Collection development, policy, library resources, library users, university libraries.

description: We propose a new class of inflation model, G-inflation, which has a Galileon-like nonlinear derivative interaction of the form $G(ϕ, (\nablaϕ)^2)\Boxϕ$ in the Lagrangian with the resultant equations of motion being of second order. It is shown that (almost) scale-invariant curvature fluctuations can be generated even in the exactly de Sitter background and that the tensor-to-scalar ratio can take a significantly larger value than in the standard inflation models, violating the standard consistency relation. Furthermore, violation of the null energy condition can occur without any instabilities. As a result, the spectral index of tensor modes can be blue, which makes it easier to observe quantum gravitational waves from inflation by the planned gravitational-wave experiments such as LISA and DECIGO as well as by the upcoming CMB experiments such as Planck and CMBpol.

description: The presented paper is focused on satellite image analysis using GRASS GIS. The aim is to perform comparative analysis of the land cover changes in Tokyo metropolitan area through spatial analysis. Data include multi-temporal Landsat TM satellite images on 2002, 2006 and 2011. The images were captured from GloVis USGS service and imported to GRASS GIS via GDAL (utilities gdalwarp, r .in.gdal, gdalinfo). The methodology is based on GRASS GIS. The technique includes raster modules (d.rast, r.colors, g.region) and modules of image processing (i.landsat.rgb, i.class). Color composites were created by modules d.rgb, r .composite and auxiliary modules for visualization (d.rast, r .colors, etc). Spectral signatures were generated in an image using 'i.cluster' algorithm and 'i.group' for clustering data. The classification was done by Maximum Likelihhood classifier 'i.maxlik'. The results show variations in land cover types for 2001, 2006 and 2011, which also resulted in the automated grouping pixels into 7, 10 and 6 classes, respectively. The paper demonstrated technical functionality of the GRASS GIS applied for multi-temporal image processing aimed at land cover types / change analysis using shell scripting approach.
Characterization of 12 TESS Exoplanet Hosts with Solar-like Oscillations

description: The progress in the study of exoplanets has created an increasing demand for a precise characterization of their host stars since several stellar parameters are necessary for characterizing their planets. In this work, we present accurate determinations of the radii, masses, and ages of 12 exoplanet hosts with solar-like oscillations observed by the recent TESS mission, obtained using asteroseismology. First, we measured the global seismic properties of the oscillation's acoustic modes, namely, the large
 separation and the frequency of maximum power. For the former, we employed two independent methods and then cross-examined their results. We then measured the latter in a heavily smoothed version of the light curve's spectrum and verified that the quantities obey the empirical relation verified for them. Then, we combined those parameters with previous spectroscopic measurements of the star's effective temperatures and metallicities and GAIA measurements of their distances and apparent magnitudes to obtain, using grid-based modeling, the stellar radii, masses, and ages with the Yale-Birmingham method and the BaSTI grid of stellar evolution models. Results between 3.5 and 10 solar radii for the radii, 1 and 2.2 solar masses for the masses, and 1 and 11 gigayears for the ages, placing those objects in the red giant branch and the horizontal branch. Three of the analyzed stars had their oscillations studied in previous works that found results consistent with ours. For the other stars, our determination has uncertainties 3 to 15 smaller for the radii and three times smaller for the masses than those obtained by other, non-seismic characterizations. Additionally, we found smaller mass values and greater ages than those works, which can be attributed to the better differentiation of models once we include the seismic properties in the analysis. In one particular case, we show that those parameters are fundamental for placing the star in the horizontal branch.

description: Introduction : Les tests de marche sont effectués dans des environnements intérieurs qui ne seraient pas systématiquement représentatifs de la réalité du patient. La marche en extérieur n’a que très peu été étudiée. Objectifs : Comparer les paramètres spatio-temporels de la marche à vitesse préférentielle en intérieur et en extérieur chez des étudiants en physiothérapie à l’aide d’un test de marche de 30 m (TM30). Compléter les connaissances actuelles sur les mécanismes qui pourraient influencer les paramètres spatio-temporels entre l’intérieur et l’extérieur. Vérifier la validité et la fiabilité de la méthodologie de mesure du TM30. Méthode : Un TM30 à vitesse préférentielle a été effectué en intérieur et en extérieur chez 353 étudiants en 1ère année de physiothérapie (HESAV). Un questionnaire a été soumis à un sous-échantillon de 53 étudiants afin de comprendre les mécanismes environnementaux ou psychologiques qui pourraient influencer les paramètres de marche. Ce même sous-échantillon a passé un deuxième TM30 en intérieur. Résultats : Les paramètres spatio-temporels de marche en extérieur étaient significativement plus élevés qu’en intérieur. Les caractéristiques environnementales étaient perçues comme significativement différentes entre l’intérieur et l’extérieur. Les réactions émotionnelles à l’environnement montraient des différences significatives entre l’extérieur et l’intérieur. La méthodologie de mesure du TM30 est valide et fiable dans un environnement intérieur. Conclusion : L’environnement dans lequel un test de marche est réalisé influence les paramètres spatio-temporels. Il est ainsi nécessaire d’adapter les tests de marche afin qu’ils soient le plus proche de l’environnement dans lequel le patient a l’habitude d’évoluer.

description: We have examined methanol emission from Orion KL with of the {\em Herschel}/HIFI instrument, and detected two methanol bands centered at 524 GHz and 1061 GHz. The 524 GHz methanol band (observed in HIFI band 1a) is dominated by the isolated $Δ$J$=$0, K$=-4\rightarrow$-3, v$_t$$=$0 Q branch, and includes 25 E-type and 2 A-type transitions. The 1061 GHz methanol band (observed in HIFI band 4b) is dominated by the $Δ$J$=$0, K$=7\rightarrow$6, v$_t$$=$0 Q branch transitions which are mostly blended. We have used the isolated E-type v$_t$$=$0 methanol transitions to explore the physical conditions in the molecular gas. With HIFI's high velocity resolution, the methanol emission contributed by different spatial components along the line of sight toward Orion KL (hot core, low velocity flow, and compact ridge) can be distinguished and studied separately. The isolated transitions detected in these bands cover a broad energy range (upper state energy ranging from 80 K to 900 K), which provides a unique probe of the thermal structure in each spatial component. The observations further show that the compact ridge is externally heated. These observations demonstrate the power of methanol lines as probes of the physical conditions in warm regions in close proximity to young stars.

Consideration of wood quality in variable retention systems : British Columbia as an example
Creators: name: Polinko, Adam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Demands for high quality wood are expected to increase as wood products begin to replace concrete and steel, particularly in tall buildings. Even as markets change, forest managers will be required to balance conflicting management objectives. Managing for wood quality may be a significant part of the solution to continue meeting social, ecological and economic criteria. Variable retention systems are used to meet ecological objectives, such as wildlife habitat and biodiversity as well as visual quality objectives around the world. Despite their widespread use, most wood quality research has focused on even-aged systems that lack vertical and horizontal complexity, one of the primary objectives of retention systems. To better understand wood quality in retention systems, a framework was created for simulating lumber recovery in coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) that is spatially explicit from end to end. A literature review of the interaction between the live crown and silviculture on wood density was also undertaken. I advocate that wood density is not influenced by competition from neighboring overstory trees or from trees of the same cohort. Simulations of retention systems demonstrate that retention of overstory trees to improve social or ecological management objectives occurs at a cost associated with the reduction in volume from overstory competition. The increase in wood quality (branch size, frequency, and distribution) associated with increasing overstory retention is negligible when compared to the loss in volume. This work provides an accurate estimate of the costs and implications for wood products associated with alternative silviculture systems and sustainable forest management.

description: An important phase transition in black hole thermodynamics is associated with the divergence of the specific heat with fixed charge and angular momenta, yet one can demonstrate that neither Ruppeiner's entropy metric nor Weinhold's energy metric reveals this phase transition. In this paper, we introduce a new thermodynamical metric based on the Hessian matrix of several free energy. We demonstrate, by studying various charged and rotating black holes, that the divergence of the specific heat corresponds to the curvature singularity of this new metric. We further investigate metrics on all thermodynamical potentials generated by Legendre transformations and study correspondences between curvature singularities and phase transition signals. We show in general that for a system with n-pairs of intensive/extensive variables, all thermodynamical potential metrics can be embedded into a flat (n,n)-dimensional space. We also generalize the Ruppeiner metrics and they are all conformal to the metrics constructed from the relevant thermodynamical potentials.

Domestic vs. international: the real cause behind China's environmental policies
Creators: name: Li, Yongzheng
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: The current literature suggests that both domestic and international factors influence environmental policies. However, I argue that in China, domestic factors are more important than international factors in the process of domestic policy initiation and policy implementation. Domestic factors may also play a significant role in shaping policies that are driven by climate concerns. Process tracing is employed to reveal in what contexts domestic factors are more critical than international factors and why they are the real causes behind many environmental policies. Furthermore, I show that the concern of social instability may be the critical reason behind the initiation and implementation of China’s environmental policies. I use four distinct environmental policies in this article to bolster my argument. I also propose a conjoint experimental survey design which may help disintegrate the general concept of domestic and international factors and tell people which specific factor is more important in forming a new environmental policy and shaping the policy implementation. The finding of this paper bridges the gap in understanding the drivers behind China’s environmental policies and contributes to the theory building in environmental politics.

Correction-to-scaling exponent for two-dimensional percolation
Creators: name: Ziff, Robert M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that the correction-to-scaling exponents in two-dimensional percolation are bounded by Omega <= 72/91, omega = D Omega <= 3/2, and Delta_1 = nu omega <= 2, based upon Cardy's result for the critical crossing probability on an annulus. The upper bounds are consistent with many previous measurements of site percolation on square and triangular lattices, and new measurements for bond percolation presented here, suggesting this result is exact. A scaling form evidently applicable to site percolation is also found.

description: There are several noise modeling software packages in order to predict noise level, each of them has different accuracy in different country. The present study was undertaken to analyze Traffic Noise Model software package (TNM) for two large highway in Tehran township. Firstly, field measurement for equivalent noise level (Leq) was carried out by sound level meter(SLM), then Leq prediction by the software was done. Finally, the results of the two previous steps were compared. the mean deviation of the results for sound levels below 80 dB was 0.33 dB, but for values further than 80 dB, the deviation was high. due to the obsolescence of a large number of the trucks inside Iran, new trucks instead of using software-defined trucks, were defined. With this change, the modeling and measurement results were more coordinated. The coefficient of determination (R2) increased from 0.4915 to 0.7312.
