description: Echiniscus aff. brunus sp. can. 1
(Figs 12, 13) Material examined: Eight individuals (for details, see Table 1).
Shortened description: Morphotype almost identical to that of E. brunus, except for the presence of the same type of circular cuticular pores with thick borders on all parts of the dorsal and pedal plates in E. aff. brunus sp. can. 1 (Figs 12B, D and 13C–D) vs. pores on dorsal and pedal plates different in E. brunus sp. nov. (Figs 10B, D and 11C, D). Molecular phylogenetic analysis suggests it is a closely related sister, potentially cryptic or pseudocryptic, species to E. brunus (see Fig. 2 and genetic distances in the description of E. brunus above).
DNA sequences: A set of five markers was obtained: 18S rRNA (OR520118–9), 28S rRNA (OR520112–3), ITS-1 (OR520104–7), ITS-2 (OR520125–8) and COI (OR506704– 7). Uncorrected pairwise distances to E. brunus can be found in the description of the new species above, whereas genetic p-distances to E. aff. brunus sp. can. 2 are as follows: 18S rRNA, 0.0%; 28S rRNA, 0.4%; ITS-1, 5.1%; ITS-2, 3.7%; and COI, 3.6% (see also Supporting Information, SM.03).
Remarks: Foundwith Echiniscus cf. scabrospinosus, Pseudechiniscus sp., Milnesium sp., Dianea sp., Ramazzottius sp., Diphascon sp., Minibiotus sp. and Macrobiotus sp. in the sample. Compare Figures 10D, 11D with Figures 12D, 13D for a potential difference in the shape of pedal plate pores between E. brunus and Echiniscus aff. brunus sp. can. 1.

We find no significant signal and set an upper limit of Br(B+ -> D*+ pi0) < 3.6 x 10^-6 at the 90% confidence level. This limit can be used to constrain the ratio between suppressed and favored B -> D* pi decay amplitudes, r < 0.051, at the 90% confidence level.

description: We study the behavior of simple principal pivoting methods for the P-matrix linear complementarity problem (P-LCP). We solve an open problem of Morris by showing that Murty's least-index pivot rule (under any fixed index order) leads to a quadratic number of iterations on Morris's highly cyclic P-LCP examples. We then show that on K-matrix LCP instances, all pivot rules require only a linear number of iterations. As the main tool, we employ unique-sink orientations of cubes, a useful combinatorial abstraction of the P-LCP.

description: Inverse muon decay, $ν_μe^-\toμ^-ν_e$, is a reaction whose cross-section can be predicted with very small uncertainties. It has a neutrino energy threshold of $\approx 11$ GeV and can be used to constrain the high-energy part of the flux in the NuMI neutrino beam. This reaction is the dominant source of events which only contain high-energy muons nearly parallel to the direction of the neutrino beam. We have isolated a sample of hundreds of such events in neutrino and anti-neutrino enhanced beams, and have constrained the predicted high-energy flux.

Market structure, auditor independence and auditor turnover
Creators: name: Nielsen, Abigail
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines some of the relationships between the market structure of public auditing, auditor independence, and the rate of auditor changes over time. The first section of this thesis examines the relationship between market structure and auditor independence with a summary and extension of a recent paper written in collaboration with two other researchers. We concluded that competitive pricing will lead to auditor independence, whereas the existence of economic rents resulting from non-competitive pricing allows for the possibility of non-independence. We also concluded that if a non-competitive market for audits changes to a more competitive state, then a period of disequilibrium occurs where independence may be compromised until the competitive equilibrium is achieved. The second section of this thesis examines the effects of such a disequilibrium period on auditor independence, auditor fees, and in particular, the rate of auditor turnover. During the disequilibrium, price rivalry should drive auditor fees down to the competitive equilibrium. Incumbent auditors will either reduce fees to match the lower bids of their competitors, or client companies will change to non-incumbent auditors offering identical- audit services at a lower price. A third possibility is that independence may be compromised if incumbents maintain higher fee structures in exchange for non-independent actions. However, as not all auditors will be willing to risk non-independent action, an empirical implication would be that price rivalry not only lowers fees but, ceteris paribus, also increases auditor turnover. The empirical portion of this thesis examines the effect of increased rivalry on auditor turnover. After a review of the existing literature on auditor changes, an empirical study of auditor changes between 1969 and 1983 was performed for a random sample of OTC firms. Assuming that the recent removal of AICPA prohibitions on competitive bidding, advertising and direct solicitation have acted as invitations for increased price rivalry, then we would expect to observe an increase in auditor turnover during the period examined. Annual turnover rates were computed, and a series of regression tests were performed using the Michigan Data Analysis System (MIDAS). The results of these tests failed to reject the hypothesis of no change in auditor turnover over the fifteen year period examined. Further market segmentation for changes within Big Eight auditors and for changes within non-Big Eight auditors did not alter the basic result of relatively constant auditor changes over time. Only the changes from non-Big Eight to Big Eight auditors indicated any statistically significant relationship to time. A number of potential explanations as to why this study did not produce the expected results of increased auditor turnover are examined, and areas for future research are discussed.

Photon Splitting and Pair Conversion in Strong Magnetic Fields

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The magnetospheres of neutron stars provide a valuable testing ground for as-yet unverified theoretical predictions of quantum electrodynamics (QED) in strong electromagnetic fields. Exhibiting magnetic field strengths well in excess of a TeraGauss, such compact astrophysical environments permit the action of exotic mechanisms that are forbidden by symmetries in field-free regions. Foremost among these processes are single-photon pair creation, where a photon converts to an electron-positron pair, and magnetic photon splitting, where a single photon divides into two of lesser energy via the coupling to the external field. The pair conversion process is exponentially small in weak fields, and provides the leading order contribution to vacuum polarization. In contrast, photon splitting possesses no energy threshold and can operate in kinematic regimes where the lower order pair conversion is energetically forbidden. This paper outlines some of the key physical aspects of these processes, and highlights their manifestation in neutron star magnetospheres. Anticipated observational signatures include profound absorption turnovers in pulsar spectra at gamma-ray wavelengths. The shapes of these turnovers provide diagnostics on the possible action of pair creation and the geometrical locale of the photon emission region. There is real potential for the first confirmation of strong field QED with the new GLAST mission, to be launched by NASA in 2008. Suppression of pair creation by photon splitting and its implications for pulsars is also discussed.

Search for new particles in events with energetic jets and large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV

description: A search is presented for new particles produced at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, using events with energetic jets and large missing transverse momentum. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 101 fb$^{-1}$, collected in 2017-2018 with the CMS detector. Machine learning techniques are used to define separate categories for events with narrow jets from initial-state radiation and events with large-radius jets consistent with a hadronic decay of a W or Z boson. A statistical combination is made with an earlier search based on a data sample of 36 fb$^{-1}$, collected in 2016. No significant excess of events is observed with respect to the standard model background expectation determined from control samples in data. The results are interpreted in terms of limits on the branching fraction of an invisible decay of the Higgs boson, as well as constraints on simplified models of dark matter, on first-generation scalar leptoquarks decaying to quarks and neutrinos, and on models with large extra dimensions. Several of the new limits, specifically for spin-1 dark matter mediators, pseudoscalar mediators, colored mediators, and leptoquarks, are the most restrictive to date.

The interpolators are constructed from Jacobi-smeared quarks of a Gaussian type as well as from derivative quark sources obtained by a covariant derivative acting on the Gaussian sources. For our analysis we use quenched gauge configurations with Chirally Improved quarks and the Luescher-Weisz gauge action on a 16^3 x 32 lattice with a = 0.148 fm. We discuss the influence of derivative sources on the overlap with excited states.

description: Echiniscus aff. brunus sp. can. 2
(Fig. 14)
Material examined: Four individuals (for details, see Table 1).
Shortened description: Except for pore density in the dorsal plates (Fig. 14A), morphotype is identical to that of E. brunus and E. aff. brunus sp. can. 1 (Fig. 14B–D).
In contrast to the two Indian species, cuticular pores in E. aff. brunus sp. can. 2 are more numerous and thus more densely arranged (see Fig. 14A). Despite clear genetic differences between E. aff. brunus sp. can. 2 and the two remaining species in the complex, we refrain from describing it as a new species because of the low number of available specimens, which precludes a detailed description of intraspecific morphological variability.
DNA sequences: A set of five markers was obtained: 18S rRNA (OR520120–1), 28S rRNA (OR520114–5), ITS-1 (OR520108–9), ITS-2 (OR520129–30) and COI (OR506708– 9). For p-distances, see the description of E. brunus and the note about E. aff. brunus sp. can. 1 above (see also Supporting Information, SM.03).
Remarks: Found together with E. belloporus, E. tantulus, E. tristis and several species of macrobiotids and milnesiids in the samples.

The effects of local government expenditures on property values
Creators: name: Lomas, Lisa Kapin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the property value impacts of neighbourhood improvements to infrastructure provided by local government. The direct and indirect effects of a revitalization effort are studied in order to determine whether neighbourhood improvement programs generate positive spill over effects (externalities) to surrounding single family homes. These impacts are examined for a number of reasons: (a) property value determination studies have thus far omitted a treatment of detailed neighbourhood infrastructure variables; (b) the literature discussing externalities created by government intervention has either focussed primarily on the negative effects created by federal intervention, been theoretical in nature, or has been empirically inconclusive or contradictory; (c) the implementation of a neighbourhood improvement program in Canada was conceived of as a policy which would protect the investment of housing rehabilitation projects and has thus been expected to create positive neighbourhood effects. The empirical analysis performed in this study examines neighbourhood improvements in general and a neighbourhood improvement program in particular. The Canadian Neighbourhood Improvement Program (NIP) is empirically analyzed using multiple regression analysis. An analysis of covariance technique allows us to test whether neighbourhood improvements have a greater impact on housing values if they were provided in NIP designated areas or in NIP years. The empirical results of this study indicate that there are very few externalities created by the NIP program. In some cases, improvements were found to have a negative impact on single family house prices indicating that some improvements generate a negative effect. In addition, living adjacent to a NIP designated area was found to negatively affect single family house prices in one of the study years. These findings imply that a justification for similar improvement efforts need to be based on something other than property value increases. Policy analysts should consider other economic and non-economic justifications for such efforts before embarking on similar programs.

description: Analytic approximations for the stress-energy of quantized fields in the Hartle-Hawking state in static black hole spacetimes predict divergences on the event horizon of the black hole for a number of important cases. Such divergences, if real, could substantially alter the spacetime geometry near the event horizon, possibly preventing the black hole from existing. The results of three investigations of these types of effects are presented. The first involves a new analytic approximation for conformally invariant fields in Reissner-Nordstrom spacetimes which is finite on the horizon. The second focuses on the stress-energy of massless scalar fields in Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes. The third focuses on the stress-energy of massless scalar fields in zero temperature black hole geometries that could be solutions to the semiclassical backreaction equations near the event horizon of the black hole.

A decentralized model for loanable fund allocations in commercial banks
Creators: name: Leung, Kwok Ki
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis proposes a decentralized procedure for optimal allocation of assets in loan divisions within commercial banks; simulation runs of the procedure demonstrate the feasibility of such an establishment in commercial banks. The decentralized procedure can not only reduce information inputs of the asset allocation system, but also provide a systematic procedure for estimations of the cost of funds and the cost of risk used in the profitability analysis. The simulation results also suggest that the appropriate price paid for the future customer relationships should vary according to the level of loanable funds available to the bank. Moreover, the simulations reveal that the interaction of risk within a bank is very complicated and point out the need for establishing some sort of procedures to take into account these interactions.

description: We calculate the $D\to P$ transition form factors within the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rules (LCSR) with the $D$-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs). The next-to-leading power (NLP) corrections to the vacuum-to-$D$-meson correlation function are considered, and the NLP corrections from the high-twist $D$-meson LCDAs and the SU(3) breaking effect from strange quark mass are investigated. Adopting the exponential model of the $D$-meson LCDAs,the predicted SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking effects are $R_{SU(3)}^{+,0}=1.12$ and $R_{SU(3)}^{T}=1.39$, respectively, which confirms the results from LCSR with pion LCDA. The numerical predictions of the form factors show that the contribution from two-particle higher-twist contributions is of great importance and the uncertainties are dominated by the inverse moment of $ϕ_D^+(ω, μ)$. With the obtained form factors, the predicted Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements are $|V_{cd}|=0.151\,{}^{+0.091}_{-0.043} \big |_{\rm th.}\,{}^{+0.017}_{-0.02} \big |_{\rm exp.}$ and $|V_{cs}|=0.89\,{}^{+0.467}_{-0.234} \big |_{\rm th.}\,{}^{+0.008}_{-0.008} \big |_{\rm exp.}$.

description: We expose at a previously unknown level of detail the features of the dynamics of trajectories that either evolve towards the Feigenbaum attractor or are captured by its matching repellor. Amongst these features are the following: i) The set of preimages of the attractor and of the repellor are embedded (dense) into each other. ii) The preimage layout is obtained as the limiting form of the rank structure of the fractal boundaries between attractor and repellor positions for the family of supercycle attractors. iii) The joint set of preimages for each case form an infinite number of families of well-defined phase-space gaps in the attractor or in the repellor. iv) The gaps in each of these families can be ordered with decreasing width in accord to power laws and are seen to appear sequentially in the dynamics generated by uniform distributions of initial conditions. v) The power law with log-periodic modulation associated to the rate of approach of trajectories towards the attractor (and to the repellor) is explained in terms of the progression of gap formation. vi) The relationship between the law of rate of convergence to the attractor and the inexhaustible hierarchy feature of the preimage structure is elucidated.

Diagnosis. Large cosmetids (dorsal scutum length approximately 5 mm) with long legs. Dorsal scutum outline beta classic with wide carapace, scutal areas I and III each with a pair of small round tubercles, which in area I are smaller and have more space between them, thus forming a trapezium. Scutum with four blot groups arranged as elaborate fenestrate yellow-orange rounded polygons: (1) an anterior pair on the laterals of carapace and (2) a posterior pair on the laterals of the posterior border of dorsal scutum. Anterior and posterior blots joined by a longitudinal line in the margin of mesotergum in P. signata. Chelicera sexually dimorphic, in males the hand is swollen and the basichelicerite much thicker than in females. Chelicera with dual texture: basichelicerite heavily granulated and dark brown while hand is yellow-orange and glossy. Legs I–IV elongate (femur more than twice as long as dorsal scutum length), but not extremely thin. Fe I–IV straight with scattered granules, slightly thinner in females. Tibia IV monomorphic (in P. signata and P. eutypa) or dimorphic (in P. iching: with retrodorsal and retroventral rows of spines in males). Tarsal counts: 7(3)/15-17(3)/10/11-12.
Included species (according to the present diagnosis). Poecilaemula eutypa (Chamberlin, 1925) comb. n., Poecilaemula iching sp. n., Poecilaemula signata (Banks, 1909).
Species formally included in Poecilaemula, but which should be placed somewhere else in the future, are listed in Table 1.

description: We consider a problem of superconductivity coexistence with the spin-density-wave order in disordered multiband metals. It is assumed that random variations of the disorder potential on short length scales render the interactions between electrons to develop spatial correlations. As a consequence, both superconducting and magnetic order parameters become spatially inhomogeneous and are described by the universal phenomenological quantities, whereas all the microscopic details are encoded in the correlation function of the coupling strength fluctuations. We consider a minimal model with two nested two-dimensional Fermi surfaces and disorder potentials which include both intra- and inter-band scattering. The model is analyzed using the quasiclassical approach to show that short-scale pairing-potential disorder leads to a broadening of the coexistence region.

description: The spectral energy distributions and infrared (IR) spectra of a sample of obscured AGNs selected in the mid-IR are modeled with recent clumpy torus models to investigate the nature of the sources, the properties of the obscuring matter, and dependencies on luminosity. The sample contains 21 obscured AGNs at z=1.3-3 discovered in the largest Spitzer surveys (SWIRE, NDWFS, & FLS) by means of their extremely red IR to optical colors. All sources show the 9.7micron silicate feature in absorption and have extreme mid-IR luminosities (L(6micron)~10^46 erg/s). The IR SEDs and spectra of 12 sources are well reproduced with a simple torus model, while the remaining 9 sources require foreground extinction from a cold dust component to reproduce both the depth of the silicate feature and the near-IR emission from hot dust. The best-fit torus models show a broad range of inclinations, with no preference for the edge-on torus expected in obscured AGNs. Based on the unobscured QSO mid-IR luminosity function, and on a color-selected sample of obscured and unobscured IR sources, we estimate the surface densities of obscured and unobscured QSOs at L(6micron)>10^12 Lsun, and z=1.3-3.0 to be about 17-22 deg^-2, and 11.7 deg^-2, respectively. Overall we find that ~35-41% of luminous QSOs are unobscured, 37-40% are obscured by the torus, and 23-25% are obscured by a cold absorber detached from the torus. These fractions constrain the torus half opening angle to be ~67 deg. This value is significantly larger than found for FIR selected samples of AGN at lower luminosity (~46 deg), supporting the receding torus scenario. A far-IR component is observed in 8 objects. The estimated far-IR luminosities associated with this component all exceed 3.3x10^12 Lsun, implying SFRs of 600-3000 Msun/yr. (Abridged)

Mass–elite differences in new democracies

description: This article argues for inductive exploration of mass–elite differences in new democracies. Grounded in the “delegate model” of political representation, I do this by studying issue positions and issue salience of masses before turning to elites. The article demonstrates this approach using Tunisia, the only Arab democracy, by analysing survey data and originally coded party manifesto data. From an issue position perspective, the article uncovers mass–elite incongruence on the democratic–authoritarian and secular–Islamist political dimensions. From an issue salience lens, there is mass–elite congruence on the economic dimension. How mass–elite incongruence unfolds might affect the future of democracy in Tunisia.

Single inclusive pion pT-spectra in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 22.4GeV: data versus perturbative QCD calculations

description: We compare the inclusive transverse momentum spectra of single pions above pT = 3 GeV/c measured in proton-proton (p-p) collisions at sqrt(s) = 21.7 - 23.8 GeV, with next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD (pQCD) predictions using recent parametrizations of the parton densities and parton-to-pion fragmentation functions. Although the dependence on the theoretical scales is large, the calculations can reproduce the experimental results both in magnitude and shape. Based on the existing data and on a pQCD $\sqrt{s}$-rescaling of the measured spectra, we provide a practical parametrization of the baseline p-p pion transverse momentum spectrum to be compared to nucleus-nucleus collisions data at sqrt(s_NN) = 22.4 GeV.

A New Gamma-ray Emitting Population of FR0 Radio Galaxies

description: The enigmatic class of Fanaroff-Riley type 0 (FR0) radio galaxies is emerging as the missing link between the faint yet numerous population of compact radio sources in nearby galaxies and the canonical Fanaroff-Riley classification scheme. This letter reports the first gamma-ray identification of three FR0 galaxies above 1 GeV using more than a decade of the Fermi Large Area Telescope observations. A cumulative gamma-ray emission at >5 sigma significance was also detected from the gamma-ray unresolved FR0 sources using the stacking technique, suggesting the FR0 population to be a gamma-ray emitter as a whole. The multi-frequency properties of the gamma-ray detected sources are similar to other FR0s, thus indicating the high-energy radiation to originate from misaligned jets. Given their large abundance, FR0 radio galaxies are proposed as plausible candidates for IceCube-detected neutrinos and the results presented in this letter may provide crucial constraints on their gamma-ray production mechanism and the origin of cosmic neutrinos.

description: The ability to develop a high-level understanding of a scene, such as perceiving danger levels, can prove valuable in planning multi-robot search and rescue (SaR) missions. In this work, we propose to uniquely leverage natural language descriptions from the mission commander in chief and image data captured by robots to estimate scene danger. Given a description and an image, a state-of-the-art deep neural network is used to assess a corresponding similarity score, which is then converted into a probabilistic distribution of danger levels. Because commonly used visio-linguistic datasets do not represent SaR missions well, we collect a large-scale image-description dataset from synthetic images taken from realistic disaster scenes and use it to train our machine learning model. A risk-aware variant of the Multi-robot Efficient Search Path Planning (MESPP) problem is then formulated to use the danger estimates in order to account for high-risk locations in the environment when planning the searchers' paths. The problem is solved via a distributed approach based on Mixed-Integer Linear Programming. Our experiments demonstrate that our framework allows to plan safer yet highly successful search missions, abiding to the two most important aspects of SaR missions: to ensure both searchers' and victim safety.

Study of the archival record and its context : meaning and historical understanding
Creators: name: Meyer Zu Erpen, Walter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The claim of archivists to be a scholarly profession is dependent upon their ability to methodically study and understand the meaning of the records in their care. Without such contextual information about the record as the name of its creating agency, the reason for its creation, and the authority by which it was created, archivists and researchers are in a poor position to assess the value and validity of its informational content. Without knowledge of the relationship of the record to other record series, they are likely to overlook additional supporting and/or contradictory documentation and thereby miss a part of the truth they seek. This thesis is directly concerned with the means by which archival sources might be assessed to determine the value of the historical evidence they contain. It proposes a conceptual framework by which study of the original, primary, and secondary meanings of the archival record might be approached. Examples are drawn from close examination of the records of the Corporation of the City of Nanaimo surviving from the period 1875-1904. While acknowledging that extensive study of the significance of documentation might be impossible for archivists in their daily work, this thesis concludes that closer attention must be paid to sources documenting the contextual environment of the record. Such sources are essential to the furtherance of understanding which is the information profession's ultimate goal.
