description: The dynamic feature of monochromatic bi-modal chaotic optical field, enriched with orthogonally-polarized basis-modes propagating collinearly and undergoing Degenerate Parametric Amplification, is investigated to demonstrate Squeezing in Hidden Optical-Polarization states. The Variance (Noise) of Hidden Optical-Polarization Parameters showing squeezing therein is numerically studied by identifying a Squeezing - Function. This squeezing in HOPS is seen to depend critically on interaction time and an Onset-time responsible for the same is demarcated.

description: In a paper published in 1959, Shimura presented an elegant calculation of the critical values of L-functions attached to elliptic modular forms using the first cohomology group. We will show that a similar calculation is possible for Hilbert modular forms over real quadratic fields using the second cohomology group. We present explicit numerical examples calculated by this method.

description: One of the challenges for stellar astrophysics is to reach the point at which we can undertake reliable spectral synthesis of unresolved populations in young, star-forming galaxies at high redshift. Here I summarise recent studies of massive stars in the Galaxy and Magellanic Clouds, which span a range of metallicities commensurate with those in high-redshift systems, thus providing an excellent laboratory in which to study the role of environment on stellar evolution. I also give an overview of observations of luminous supergiants in external galaxies out to a remarkable 6.7 Mpc, in which we can exploit our understanding of stellar evolution to study the chemistry and dynamics of the host systems.

description: ABSTRACT: The design world of architects and engineers is
changing. Costs arising during the whole life cycle of a
building are being taken into account. Therefore, complex tools
to support design decisions are coming up, and an increasing
number of experts from a great variety of disciplines will have
to cooperate in a more and more interrelated and sophisticated
manner. Our hypothesis is, that an integrated framework based on
the metaphor of a "dynamic building" as component-based, spatial
model will bridge between the infor-mation technical
representation and the "classical" building planning. All
planning, cooperation, usage, and aging processes of the
building life cycle will be reflected in such a "virtual"
dynamic building, for which we are developing an appropriate
framework.

description: Aims. We present simulations of the perfomances of the future SPHERE IFS instrument designed for imaging extrasolar planets in the near infrared (Y, J, and H bands). Methods. We used the IDL package code for adaptive optics simulation (CAOS) to prepare a series of input point spread functions (PSF). These feed an IDL tool (CSP) that we designed to simulate the datacube resulting from the SPHERE IFS. We performed simulations under different conditions to evaluate the contrast that IFS will be able to reach and to verify the impact of physical propagation within the limits of the near field of the aperture approximation (i.e. Fresnel propagation). We then performed a series of simulations containing planet images to test the capability of our instrument to correctly classify the found objects. To this purpose we developed a separated IDL tool. Results. We found that using the SPHERE IFS instrument and appropriate analysis techniques, such as multiple spectral differential imaging (MDI), spectral deconvolution (SD), and angular differential imaging (ADI), we should be able to image companion objects down to a luminosity contrast of ? 10-7 with respect to the central star in favorable cases. Spectral deconvolution resulted in the most effective method for reducing the speckle noise. We were then able to find most of the simulated planets (more than 90% with the Y-J-mode and more than the 95% with the Y-H-mode) for contrasts down to 3 \times 10-7 and separations between 0.3 and 1.0 arcsec. The spectral classification is accurate but seems to be more precise for late T-type spectra than for earlier spectral types. A possible degeneracy between early L-type companion objects and field objects (flat spectra) is highlighted. The spectral classification seems to work better using the Y-H-mode than with the Y-J-mode.

Sex work and the social-spatial order of boomtown : Winnipeg, 1873-1912
Creators: name: Wilkinson, Amy Catherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Life in late-nineteenth century Canada was characterized by dramatic social and economic change. Fears of American annexation, combined with growing interest in the agricultural potential of the Prairies, contributed to the colonization, settlement, and eventual urbanization and industrialization of the Canadian West. In 1871, the first numbered treaties were signed and the Dominion Lands Act was passed, signalling the resettlement of Indigenous communities onto isolated reserves in Manitoba and the rapid westward migration of European settlers, eager to capitalize on the Canadian government’s promises of free land and good jobs. Such rapid transformations were, of course, accompanied by what the governing middle class would perceive as social discord: the mobilization of the working class, the emergence of women in the public sphere, and Indigenous resistance. While many focused their efforts on the segregation, regulation, and reform of these diverse communities, others identified and exploited opportunities in Canada’s new urban contexts, thus shaping the social and geographic patterns of development therein. This study focuses on the relationship between sex work and urban development in the city of Winnipeg between 1873 and 1912. By examining a variety of sources, including the final report and minutes of evidence from the Royal Commission on Charges of Social Vice, police court record books, newspapers, and published first-hand accounts, this study argues that Winnipeg’s early sex economy and the spaces it occupied were actively produced and continually reshaped by the city’s sex workers, business interests, and civic elite. Each of these groups recognized that the tacit acceptance of certain types of sex work (and sex workers), combined with the continuous deployment of regulatory middle-class discourses, would play a significant role in the demographic and physical growth of the city, while generating incredible profits for all involved parties. It is thus my contention that Winnipeg’s socio-spatial development depended on this interplay of competing—even contradictory—social, economic, and political interests. Sex workers—and the other historical actors with whom they interacted—influenced the social and geographic patterns of urban development in Winnipeg, transforming it from a fur trade outpost to colonial metropolis over its first forty years.

description: Recently it was shown that there is a unique Z_4^R symmetry for the MSSM which allows the Yukawa couplings and dimension five neutrino mass operator, forbids the mu term and commutes with SO(10). This Z_4^R symmetry contains matter parity as a subgroup and forbids dimension four and five proton decay operators. We show how to construct string vacua with discrete R symmetries in general and this symmetry in particular, and present an explicit example which exhibits the exact MSSM spectrum, the Z_4^R symmetry as well as other desired features such as gauge-top unification. We introduce the Hilbert basis method for determining all D-flat configurations and efficient algorithms for identifying field configurations with a desired residual symmetry. These methods are used in an explicit example, in which we describe in detail how to construct a supersymmetric vacuum configuration with the phenomenologically attractive Z_4^R symmetry. At the perturbative level, this is a supersymmetric Minkowski vacuum in which almost all singlet fields (moduli) are fixed.

description: A growing number of U.S. cities have large numbers of untested sexual assault kits (SAKs) in police property facilities. Testing older kits and maintaining current case work will be challenging for forensic laboratories, creating a need for more efficient testing methods. Methods: We evaluated selective degradation methods for DNA extraction using actual case work from a sample of previously unsubmitted SAKs in Detroit, Michigan. We randomly assigned 350 kits to either standard or selective degradation testing methods and then compared DNA testing rates and CODIS entry rates between the two groups. Results and conclusions: Continuation-ratio modeling showed no significant differences, indicating that the selective degradation method had no decrement in performance relative to customary methods. Follow-up equivalence tests indicated that CODIS entry rates for the two methods could differ by more than ±5%. Selective degradation methods required less personnel time for testing and scientific review than standard testing.

description: To reveal the formation of planetesimals it is of great importance to understand the collision behavior of the dusty and icy aggregates they have formed from. We present an experimental setup to investigate the aggregation properties in low-velocity collisions of dust aggregates, solid ices and icy aggregates under microgravity conditions. Results from ESA's 45th Parabolic Flight Campaign show that most collisions in the velocity range 0.1 m/s < v_c < 0.5m/s are dominated by a rebound behavior of the projectile dust aggregates and only ~ 5% of the translational kinetic energy is conserved after the encounters.

The structure investigated are laterally aligned InGaAs quantum dot molecules embedded in GaAs under a lateral electric field. The rather simple energetic of excitons becomes more complex in the case of charged quasiparticles but remains tractable. The negative trion spectrum shows four anticrossings in the presently available range of fields while the positive trion shows two. The magnitude of the anticrossings reveals many-body effects in the carrier tunneling process that should be experimentally accessible.

“Top” overseas talent as a distinguished social group : a policy study using critical discourse analysis
Creators: name: Mo, Yanxian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: To reverse “brain drain”, the Chinese governments have deployed various mechanisms, including preferential policies, to recruit ethnic Chinese individuals from abroad who are considered top talent urgently needed in China. This study looks at how Chinese overseas recruitment policies contribute to the construction of overseas talent as a distinguished social group, thereby entrenching stratification in the Chinese society. Theoretically, the thesis is informed by Bourdieu’s theory of social class and by Levinson et al.’s perspectives on policy function. The main focus is the Thousand Talent Plan (TTP), which is the China’s most influential policy for recruiting top-notch talent from abroad. My study starts with a historical overview of talent policies in China, giving special attention to the social and economic context of the changes. Critical discourse analysis is then employed as a methodological approach to examine how such policies ideologically differentiate the “best from the rest.” I argue that Chinese overseas recruitment policies have the formative power to construct and impose a legitimate vision of “top” overseas talent as a distinguished social group: a minority privileged with cultural capital, advantageous economic capital, privileged social capital, and honourable symbolic capital. Study limitations and implications for policy and practice are discussed.
The View from Inside the System: How Police Explain Their Response to Sexual Assault
Creators: name: Shaw, Jessica

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Prior research has documented the problematic community response to sexual assault: the majority of sexual assaults reported to police are never prosecuted. Social dominance theory suggests that this response is a form of institutional discrimination, intended to maintain existing social structures, and that police personnel likely draw upon shared ideologies to justify their decision-making in sexual assault case investigations. This study drew upon social dominance theory to examine how police justified their investigatory decisions to identify potential leverage points for change. The study revealed that the likelihood of a case referral to the prosecutor increased with each additional investigative step completed; of the different types of justifications provided by police for a less-than-thorough investigative response and stalled case, blaming the victim for the poor police investigation proved to be the most damaging to case progression; and the type of explanation provided by police was impacted by specific case variables. As suggested by social dominance theory, the study demonstrates that police rely on several different mechanisms to justify their response to sexual assault; implementing criminal justice system policies that target and interrupt these mechanisms has the potential to improve this response, regardless of specific case factors.
Interactive Reconciliation with Low-Density Parity-Check Codes

description: Efficient information reconciliation is crucial in several scenarios, being quantum key distribution a remarkable example. However, efficiency is not the only requirement for determining the quality of the information reconciliation process. In some of these scenarios we find other relevant parameters such as the interactivity or the adaptability to different channel statistics. We propose an interactive protocol for information reconciliation based on low-density parity-check codes. The coding rate is adapted in real time by using simultaneously puncturing and shortening strategies, allowing it to cover a predefined error rate range with just a single code. The efficiency of the information reconciliation process using the proposed protocol is considerably better than the efficiency of its non-interactive version.

description: We present an explicit difference operator diagonalized by the Macdonald polynomials associated with an (arbitrary) admissible pair of irreducible reduced crystallographic root systems. By the duality symmetry, this gives rise to an explicit Pieri formula for the Macdonald polynomials in question. The simplest examples of our construction recover Macdonald's celebrated difference operators and associated Pieri formulas pertaining to the minuscule and quasi-minuscule weights. As further by-products, explicit expansions and Littlewood-Richardson type formulas are obtained for the Macdonald polynomials associated with a special class of small weights.

description: J.Ritt has investigated the structure of complex polynomials with respect to superposition. In particular, he listed all the polynomials admitting different double decompositions into indecomposable polynomials. The analogues of Ritt theory for rational functions were constructed just for several particular classes of the said functions, say for Laurent polynomials (F.Pakovich). In this note we describe a certain class of double decompositions for rational functions. Essentially, described below rational functions were discovered by E.I.Zolotarev in 1877 as a solution of certain optimization problem. However, the double decomposition property for them was hidden until recently because of somewhat awkward representation. We give a (possibly new) symmetric representation of Zolotarev fractions resembling the parametric representation for Chebyshev polynomials, which are a special limit case of Zolotarev fraction.

Geomorphic imprint of active faulting or sedimentary threshold control? Subtle hints to a fault-bounded Late Quaternary basin, Campo Imperatore (Central Italy)
Creators: name: Fracassi, Umberto

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2001

description: This research aims at highlighting the small- and medium-scale morphotectonic framework of an intermontane basin emplaced within an area with a multi-phased tectonic history and currently characterized by an unclear seismic regime. The land-sculpting processes acting upon the Campo Imperatore area (Abruzzi Apennines, Central Italy) are strongly influenced by the structural imprint of the Apennine thrust-belt and the subsequent extensional pattern. An E-W trending branch of a major normal fault system downthrows the back-limb of the chain, thus acting as the northern boundary between the Quaternary floodplain and its surrounding uplands. Prospective conjugate faulting is detected only in restricted areas and away from the influence of two basin thresholds, which triggered terrace deposition and their intermittent dissection. These edges, in turn, may well represent the linkage between the two segments of the E-W fault system. Adjacent intermontane basins, all of comparable timing and tectonic scenario with the investigated geomorphological domain, record prominent and well-defined seismic histories. Within these areas, seismogenic normal faults with apparently long recurrence intervals have been recognised. Conversely, at Campo Imperatore, no such record is to be found despite its geodynamic environs. Furthermore, while evidences of Late Quaternary normal faulting were recognised in the recent fluvio-glacial sedimentary infill, they notwithstanding yield low-magnitude/high-frequency morphological features. These two lines of evidence suggest that if a large-scale seismogenic normal fault exists, capable of (a) controlling the basin architecture and (b) actively deform the depositional remnants within, its connections with the resulting, subtle geomorphic features is not straightforward.

description: Target coverage problem in wireless sensor networks is concerned with maximizing the lifetime of the network while continuously monitoring a set of targets. A sensor covers targets which are within the sensing range. For a set of sensors and a set of targets, the sensor-target coverage relationship is assumed to be known. A sensor cover is a set of sensors that covers all the targets. The target coverage problem is to determine a set of sensor covers with maximum aggregated lifetime while constraining the life of each sensor by its initial battery life. The problem is proved to be NP-complete and heuristic algorithms to solve this problem are proposed. In the present study, we give a unified interpretation of earlier algorithms and propose a new and efficient algorithm. We show that all known algorithms are based on a common reasoning though they seem to be derived from different algorithmic paradigms. We also show that though some algorithms guarantee bound on the quality of the solution, this bound is not meaningful and not practical too. Our interpretation provides a better insight to the solution techniques. We propose a new greedy heuristic which prioritizes sensors on residual battery life. We show empirically that the proposed algorithm outperforms all other heuristics in terms of quality of solution. Our experimental study over a large set of randomly generated problem instances also reveals that a very naïve greedy approach yields solutions which is reasonably (appx. 10%) close to the actual optimal solutions.

description: The non-equilibrium structural and dynamical properties of a semiflexible polymer confined in a cylindrical microchannel and exposed to a Poiseuille flow is studied by mesoscale hydrodynamic simulations. For a polymer with a length half of its persistence length, large variations in orientation and conformations are found as a function of radial distance and flow strength. In particular, the polymer exhibits U-shaped conformations near the channel center. Hydrodynamic interactions lead to strong cross-streamline migration. Outward migration is governed by the polymer orientation and the corresponding anisotropy in its diffusivity. Strong tumbling motion is observed, with a tumbling time which exhibits the same dependence on Peclet number as a polymer in shear flow.

Defining the molecular mechanisms of subtype-specific KCNQ2/3 potassium channel activators
Creators: name: Wang, Wei-Ting
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Retigabine is the first approved anti-epileptic drug that acts via activation of voltage-gated potassium channels, targeting KCNQ channels that underlie the neuronal M-current. Retigabine exhibits little specificity between KCNQ2-5, which all contain a Trp residue in the pore domain that is essential for retigabine actions. The retigabine analog ICA 069673 (‘ICA73’) exhibits much stronger effects than retigabine on KCNQ2 channels, including a large hyperpolarizing shift of the voltage-dependence of activation, and roughly two-fold enhancement of peak current. Unlike retigabine, ICA73 exhibits strong subtype specificity for KCNQ2 over KCNQ3, and appears to have a unique mechanism of action, because pore mutations that abolish retigabine action (KCNQ2 Trp236Phe) do not affect ICA73 sensitivity. Based on ICA73 sensitivity of chimeric constructs of the transmembrane segments of KCNQ2 and KCNQ3, this drug appears to interact with the KCNQ2 voltage sensor (S1-S4) rather than the pore region targeted by retigabine. KCNQ2 point mutants in the voltage sensor were generated based on KCNQ2/KCNQ3 sequence differences, and screened for ICA73 sensitivity. These experiments reveal that KCNQ2 residues Phe168 and Ala181 in the S3 segment are essential determinants of ICA73 subtype specificity. Mutations at either position in KCNQ2 abolish the ICA73-mediated gating shift, while retaining retigabine sensitivity. Interestingly, KCNQ2[A181P] mutant channels show little ICA73-mediated gating shift, but retain current potentiation by the drug. When Phe168 and Ala181 are substituted into KCNQ3 ([L198F] and [P211A]), ICA73-sensitivity can be partially rescued. These results demonstrate that retigabine and ICA73 act via distinct mechanisms, and provide the first insights into channel residues that underlie subtype specificity of KCNQ channel openers. Further mutagenic scanning of the voltage sensor, and screening for potential ICA73 binding residues in solvent accessible pockets have also generated new insights into KCNQ channel function, despite not identifying additional residues essential for ICA73 sensitivity. Taken together, findings presented in this thesis have laid a foundation for further understanding of diverse mechanisms of action of KCNQ potassium channel openers, which may lead to more targeted and rational approaches for drug design.

description: We investigate theoretical properties of beams of light with non-uniform polarization patterns. Specifically, we determine all possible configurations of cylindrically polarized modes (CPMs) of the electro-magnetic field, calculate their total angular momentum and highlight the subtleties of their structure. Furthermore, a hybrid spatio-polarization description for such modes is introduced and developed. In particular, two independent Poincaré spheres have been introduced to represent simultaneously the polarization and spatial degree of freedom of CPMs. Possible mode-to-mode transformations accomplishable with the help of conventional polarization and spatial phase retarders are shown within this representation. Moreover, the importance of these CPMs in the quantum optics domain due to their classical features is highlighted.
