description: Analyzing exoplanets detected by radial velocity or transit observations, we determine the multiplicity of exoplanet host stars in order to study the influence of a stellar companion on the properties of planet candidates. Matching the host stars of exoplanet candidates detected by radial velocity or transit observations with online multiplicity catalogs in addition to a literature search, 57 exoplanet host stars are identified having a stellar companion. The resulting multiplicity rate of at least 12 percent for exoplanet host stars is about four times smaller than the multiplicity of solar like stars in general. The mass and the number of planets in stellar multiple systems depend on the separation between their host star and its nearest stellar companion, e.g. the planetary mass decreases with an increasing stellar separation. We present an updated overview of exoplanet candidates in stellar multiple systems, including 15 new systems (compared to the latest summary from 2009).

description: The modulation depth of 2-D electron gas (2DEG) based THz modulators using AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures with metal gates is inherently limited to < 30%. The metal gate not only attenuates the THz signal (> 90%) but also severely degrades the modulation depth. The metal losses can be significantly reduced with an alternative material with tunable conductivity. Graphene presents a unique solution to this problem due to its symmetric band structure and extraordinarily high mobility of holes that is comparable to electron mobility in conventional semiconductors. The hole conductivity in graphene can be electrostatically tuned in the graphene-2DEG parallel capacitor configuration, thus more efficiently tuning the THz transmission. In this work, we show that it is possible to achieve a modulation depth of > 90% while simultaneously minimizing signal attenuation to < 5% by tuning the Fermi level at the Dirac point in graphene.

description: The knowledge about morphodynamic processes in Wadden Sea areas in estuaries was improved based on broad field measurements. Current parameters, waves, suspended sediment concentrations and the bathymetry were recorded in high resolution. Derived from the field data processes of sediment transport were identified depending on different loads.

Modellversuche an makroskopischen Proben finden eine ausgeprägte Zug-Druck Asymmetrie im Nanobereich, die auf den Einfluss der Oberflächenspannung zurückzuführen ist. Darüber hinaus wird ein Syntheseschema entwickelt, um nanoporöse Metalle mittels Entlegieren aus kostengünstigen Ausgangsmaterialien herzustellen. Dieses Material weist erhebliche mechanische Stabilität und Funktionalisierungsmöglichkeiten auf.
description: In this thesis mechanical properties of nanoporous metals are investigated. Model experiments on macroscopic samples find a distinct tension-compression asymmetry at the nanoscale that can be attributed to the interaction of the surface tension. Moreover, a synthesis scheme is developed to fabricate nanoporous metals by dealloying from cost- efficient precursor materials. This material proves considerable mechanical stability and functionalization opportunities.
Quasi-one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates in nonlinear lattices

description: We consider the three-dimensional (3D) mean-field model for the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), with a 1D nonlinear lattice (NL), which periodically changes the sign of the nonlinearity along the axial direction, and the harmonic-oscillator trapping potential applied in the transverse plane. The lattice can be created as an optical or magnetic one, by means of available experimental techniques. The objective is to identify stable 3D solitons supported by the setting. Two methods are developed for this purpose: The variational approximation, formulated in the framework of the 3D Gross-Pitaevskii equation, and the 1D nonpolynomial Schrödinger equation (NPSE) in the axial direction, which allows one to predict the collapse in the framework of the 1D description. Results are summarized in the form of a stability region for the solitons in the plane of the NL strength and wavenumber. Both methods produce a similar form of the stability region. Unlike their counterparts supported by the NL in the 1D model with the cubic nonlinearity, kicked solitons of the NPSE cannot be set in motion, but the kick may help to stabilize them against the collapse, by causing the solitons to shed excess norm. A dynamical effect specific to the NL is found in the form of freely propagating small-amplitude wave packets emitted by perturbed solitons.

description: We discuss a simple but experimentally realistic model system, a single-electron box (SEB), where common fluctuation relations can be tested for driven electronic transitions. We show analytically that when the electron system on the SEB island is overheated by the control parameter (gate voltage) drive, the common fluctuation relation (Jarzynski equality) is only approximately valid due to dissipated heat even when the system starts at thermal equilibrium and returns to it after the drive has been stopped. However, an integral fluctuation relation based on total entropy production works also in this situation. We perform extensive Monte Carlo simulations of single-electron transitions in the SEB setup and find good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

description: Many chemical models of dense interstellar clouds predict that the majority of gas-phase elemental nitrogen should be present as N2, with an abundance approximately five orders of magnitude less than that of hydrogen. As a homonuclear diatomic molecule, N2 is difficult to detect spectroscopically through infrared or millimetre-wavelength transitions so its abundance is often inferred indirectly through its reaction product N2H+. Two main formation mechanisms each involving two radical-radical reactions are the source of N2 in such environments. Here we report measurements of the low temperature rate constants for one of these processes, the N + CN reaction down to 56 K. The effect of the measured rate constants for this reaction and those recently determined for two other reactions implicated in N2 formation are tested using a gas-grain model employing a critically evaluated chemical network. We show that the amount of interstellar nitrogen present as N2 depends on the competition between its gas-phase formation and the depletion of atomic nitrogen onto grains. As the reactions controlling N2 formation are inefficient, we argue that N2 does not represent the main reservoir species for interstellar nitrogen. Instead, elevated abundances of more labile forms of nitrogen such as NH3 should be present on interstellar ices, promoting the eventual formation of nitrogen-bearing organic molecules.

Peripheral mechanisms of masseter muscle nociceptor sensitization by Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)
Creators: name: Wang, Mianwei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Myofascial temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are common chronic craniofacial conditions that are characterized by pain in the masseter muscle. It has been suggested that nerve growth factor (NGF) may contribute to muscle sensitization in TMD-like pain based on various animal and human studies. Injection of NGF into the masseter muscle of healthy human subjects is not painful but does induce a localized, quick onset (~1 hour) and long lasting mechanical sensitization. It is not known how NGF causes this sensitization. NGF binds to the p75 receptor as well as the tyrosine kinase receptor A (TrkA), both of which are expressed on nociceptive neurons and may increase excitability and neuron sensitization. NGF is also reported to enhance NMDA receptor function on ganglion excitatory synaptic transmission. I hypothesized that human NGF mechanically sensitizes masseter muscle nociceptors by increasing the sensitivity of peripheral NMDA receptors. Co-expression of the NR2B subunit of the NMDA receptor with P75 and TrkA NGF receptors by trigeminal ganglia neurons that innervate the masseter muscle was investigated immunohistochemically. Nociceptor activity was recorded extracellularly from the trigeminal ganglion of anaesthetized female rats. Nociceptor mechanical threshold was assessed before and every 30 minutes for 3 hours after injection of human NGF (25 µg/ml, 10 µl), and in subsequent experiments NGF with TrkA or P75 receptor antibodies. Glutamate (1 M, 10 µl), a NMDA receptor agonist, was injected at the end of each experiment. Approximately 85% of NR2B positive masseter ganglion neurons co-expressed P75 or TrkA receptors, suggesting the potential for interaction. When compared with the vehicle control, it was found that injection of NGF into the masseter muscle did not evoke significant nociceptor discharge but did significantly reduce nociceptor mechanical threshold. There was no effect of NGF on glutamate-evoked nociceptor discharge or glutamate-induced mechanical sensitization. Additional experiments indicated that NGF-induced mechanical sensitization could be partially attenuated by co-administration of TrkA receptor antibodies, but not P75 receptor antibodies. These findings indicate that human NGF-induced sensitization of masseter nociceptors results, in part, from activation of TrkA receptors but does not appear to be mediated through enhanced peripheral NMDA receptor activity.

description: The intensive concern with customer needs and problems is one of the key contributors to the success of innovation management. During the seventies, numerous procedures were developed, in theory as well as in practice. These procedures entered literature as so called “need-assessment“ approaches (see e.g. Holt, Geschka, Peterlongo 1984). However, the application of these procedures to different industrial sectors and types of firms as well as the benefit achieved for innovation in practice, remained unexplored to a great extent till the nineties, except for a few documented experiences and case studies (see e. g. Herstatt 1998). Geschka and Herstatt carried out the first empirical study in Switzerland in 1990/91. This study was confined to the Swiss mechanical industry and the results were published in “Die Unternehmung” 3/91 (Geschka, Herstatt 1991). An identical survey was repeated in 1998 within the scope of a research project together with the Institute of International Innovation Management of the University of Bern (*). The scope was extended to the chemical industry and the electrical industry. Some results from the first study were confirmed. Nevertheless, differences were noticed as well, especially with regard to the use of several methods to record innova-tion needs, it was also found that different industries have different preferences with respect to methods due to specifics of the branch. In this paper, we describe the results of the current study, go into the differences between both studies, and discuss these and the possible ration-als in the interviewed companies.

description: Random numbers are essential for applications ranging from secure communications to numerical simulation and quantitative finance. Algorithms can rapidly produce pseudo-random outcomes, series of numbers that mimic most properties of true random numbers while quantum random number generators (QRNGs) exploit intrinsic quantum randomness to produce true random numbers. Single-photon QRNGs are conceptually simple but produce few random bits per detection. In contrast, vacuum fluctuations are a vast resource for QRNGs: they are broad-band and thus can encode many random bits per second. Direct recording of vacuum fluctuations is possible, but requires shot-noise-limited detectors, at the cost of bandwidth. We demonstrate efficient conversion of vacuum fluctuations to true random bits using optical amplification of vacuum and interferometry. Using commercially-available optical components we demonstrate a QRNG at a bit rate of 1.11 Gbps. The proposed scheme has the potential to be extended to 10 Gbps and even up to 100 Gbps by taking advantage of high speed modulation sources and detectors for optical fiber telecommunication devices.

Our result is also consistent with the previous measurements, with no repeat of the disagreement recently encountered with Q_{EC} values measured for the same transition. The Ft value for the 46V superallowed transition, incorporating all world data, is determined to be 3074.1(26) s, a result consistent with the average Ft value of 3072.08(79) s established from the 13 best-known superallowed transitions.

Non-thermal processes in bowshocks of runaway stars. Application to Zeta Oph

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Runaway massive stars are O- and B-type stars with high spatial velocities with respect to the interstellar medium. These stars can produce bowshocks in the surrounding gas. Bowshocks develop as arc-shaped structures, with bows pointing to the same direction as the stellar velocity, while the star moves supersonically through the interstellar gas. The piled-up shocked matter emits thermal radiation and a population of locally accelerated relativistic particles is expected to produce non-thermal emission over a wide range of energies. We aim to model the non-thermal radiation produced in these sources. Under some assumptions, we computed the non-thermal emission produced by the relativistic particles and the thermal radiation caused by free-free interactions, for O4I and O9I stars. We applied our model to Zeta Oph (HD 149757), an intensively studied massive star seen from the northern hemisphere. This star has spectral type O9.5V and is a well-known runaway. Spectral energy distributions of massive runaways are predicted for the whole electromagnetic spectrum. We conclude that the non-thermal radiation might be detectable at various energy bands for relatively nearby runaway stars, especially at high-energy gamma rays. Inverse Compton scattering with photons from the heated dust gives the most important contribution to the high-energy spectrum. This emission approaches Fermi sensitivities in the case of Zeta Oph.

description: Deep Boltzmann machines are in principle powerful models for extracting the hierarchical structure of data. Unfortunately, attempts to train layers jointly (without greedy layer-wise pretraining) have been largely unsuccessful. We propose a modification of the learning algorithm that initially recenters the output of the activation functions to zero. This modification leads to a better conditioned Hessian and thus makes learning easier. We test the algorithm on real data and demonstrate that our suggestion, the centered deep Boltzmann machine, learns a hierarchy of increasingly abstract representations and a better generative model of data.

description: The present experiment studied the effects of a persuasive communication on attitude change. The variables of reward and choice were introduced in an attempt to enhance the effectiveness of the communication, and maintain the resulting change in attitude over time. The Ss were mothers of 6 to 9 year old children. The experiment was disguised as a toy survey. The communication consisted of a tape recorded speech either about the benefits of skill toys or the importance of affection giving. The Ss were either asked to choose a toy from a display table or to tell if they had any of the toys in their own homes. Some Ss were rewarded by being promised a toy, while others were only thanked for their participation. The Ss were then asked to rate certain toys on a 7-point desirability scale. These questionnaire ratings were taken both before and after the Christmas holiday. A four-way analysis of variance was used on the questionnaire ratings of skill toys to test the effectiveness of communication, choice and reward variables over time. Both the communication (p <. 01) and the reward (p <.01) variables were found to be effective in producing attitude change. Th e choice variable did not prove to be an effective means of producing an attitude change. No significant interactions were found. A main effect of time (p < .05) was found in that all skill toys tended to be rated as less desirable over time. A comparison of the laboratory behavior of the ~s was indicated by their questionnaire scores, and their non-laboratory behavior as measured by the actual toy buying was made. It was found that laboratory behavior did not correspond to the behavior of the Ss outside of the laboratory.

description: Chirally stacked N-layer graphene with N>=2 is susceptible to a variety of distinct broken symmetry states in which each spin-valley flavor spontaneously transfers charge between layers. In mean-field theory the neutral bilayer ground state is a layer antiferromagnet (LAF) state that has opposite spin-polarizations in opposite layers. In this Letter we analyze how the LAF and other competing states are influenced by Zeeman fields that couple to spin and by interlayer electric fields that couple to layer pseudospin, and comment on the possibility of using response and edge state signatures to identify the character of the bilayer ground state experimentally.

description: Let $(X_t, Y_t)_{t\in T}$ be a discrete or continuous-time Markov process with state space $X \times R^d$ where $X$ is an arbitrary measurable set. Its transition semigroup is assumed to be additive with respect to the second component, i.e. $(X_t, Y_t)_{t\in T}$ is assumed to be a Markov additive process. In particular, this implies that the first component $(X_t)_{t\in T}$ is also a Markov process. Markov random walks or additive functionals of a Markov process are special instances of Markov additive processes. In this paper, the process $(Y_t)_{t\in T}$ is shown to satisfy the following classical limit theorems: (a) the central limit theorem, (b) the local limit theorem, (c) the one-dimensional Berry-Esseen theorem, (d) the one-dimensional first-order Edgeworth expansion, provided that we have sup{t\in(0,1]\cap T : E{π,0}[|Y_t| ^α] < 1 with the expected order with respect to the independent case (up to some $\varepsilon > 0$ for (c) and (d)). For the statements (b) and (d), a Markov nonlattice condition is also assumed as in the independent case. All the results are derived under the assumption that the Markov process $(X_t)_{t\in T}$ has an invariant probability distribution $π$, is stationary and has the $L^2(π)$-spectral gap property (that is, $(X_t)t\in N}$ is $ρ$-mixing in the discrete-time case). The case where $(X_t)_{t\in T}$ is non-stationary is briefly discussed. As an application, we derive a Berry-Esseen bound for the M-estimators associated with $ρ$-mixing Markov chains.

Political action through consensus : a case study of the Federation of Independent School Associations of British Columbia
Creators: name: Froese, Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This is a case study which seeks to understand how individuals achieve consensus within heterogeneous groups. The Federation of Independent School Associations in British Columbia was formed in 1966 to lobby government for recognition and funding for independent schools. FISA consists of five separate associations with different ideological and pedagogical priorities that might make achieving consensus difficult. Yet over the past forty years, unanimity on policy has been achieved on all but one occasion. This case study draws on Bourdieu's (1985) analysis of how groups develop strategies of collaboration within a social space. Jarvis (1998) also provides a paradigm on group knowledge that has been adapted to analyze the interviews that constitute part of the qualitative data in this research. Data sources included archival records, press reports, Board meeting attendance, meeting minutes, internal FISA memos, and interviews with Directors and senior government officials. The study's purpose was to determine what strategies FISA used to achieve consensus on issues relating to legislation which provided partial public funding for independent schools in BC. The conclusions suggest five organizational facets that impact FISA's consensus strategies: beliefs and values, group knowledge, external variables, personal identities and tacit learning. Foundational principles of FISA include the right to `disassociate' on specific issues. Consensus is achieved through consciously limiting the issues addressed by the organization. The diversity of FISA is considered its strength and members respect one another despite differing belief systems through conscious misunderstanding. Finally, each association has an equal voice in shaping policy. The common threat of losing public funding is a major motivator towards collaboration. Building relationships with senior government officials and elected representatives has been found effective to garner support for independent schools. This research is based on a study of one non government organization, and therefore, the results cannot be generalized to other diverse organizations, though the findings may be transferable. Further research would be warranted to determine if political or community groups function in a similar manner. The ability to deal with group diversity is important in the context of a multi-cultural society.
Agrarflächenverlust in Deutschland - Bilanzierung und Begegnungsstrategien im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung

description: Die Fläche in Deutschland wird zu etwa 50 % landwirtschaftlich genutzt. Zunehmend lässt sich beobachten, dass landwirtschaftliche Flächen weniger werden, was auf verschiedene Ursachen zurückzuführen ist. Dargelegt wird die Entwicklung der Fläche für Acker- und Grünland im Zeitraum von 2006 bis 2021. Dabei steht die Frage der Nachnutzung im Vordergrund. Des Weiteren werden Zahlen zur aktuellen und zukünftigen Agrarflächennutzung analysiert. Es zeigt sich, dass im genannten Zeitraum etwa 900.009 ha Agrarfläche in andere Nutzungen umgewandelt wurde, wobei etwa 60 % davon Grünlandfläche betraf. Als Hauptursache wird die Zunahme der Siedlungs- und Verkehrsfläche identifiziert, die für 44,1 % des Agrarflächenverlusts verantwortlich ist. Waldfläche hat mit 43,5 % eine ähnlich große Bedeutung. Möglichkeiten, den Agrarflächenverlust einzudämmen, ergeben sich einerseits bei der Betrachtung der jeweiligen Nachnutzungskategorien. Die konsequente Einhaltung des < 30-Hektar-Ziels zur Neuinanspruchnahme von Siedlungs- und Verkehrsflächen und eine Ausweitung der Möglichkeiten zur Mehrfachnutzung von Flächen werden daher betont. Außerdem wird vorgeschlagen, auf den bereits bestehenden Agrarflächen Feldfrüchten, die der menschlichen Ernährung direkt dienen, mehr Gewicht zu geben.

description: Records from ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) are highly contaminated by noise, which is much stronger compared to data from most land stations, especially on the horizontal components. As a consequence, the high energy of the oceanic noise at frequencies below 1 Hz considerably complicates the analysis of the teleseismic earthquake signals recorded by OBSs. Previous studies suggested different approaches to remove low-frequency noises from OBS recordings but mainly focused on the vertical component. The records of horizontal components, which are crucial for the application of many methods in passive seismological analysis of body and surface waves, could not be much improved in the teleseismic frequency band. Here we introduce a noise reduction method, which is derived from the harmonic–percussive separation algorithms used in Zali et al. (2021), in order to separate long-lasting narrowband signals from broadband transients in the OBS signal. This leads to significant noise reduction of OBS records on both the vertical and horizontal components and increases the earthquake signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) without distortion of the broadband earthquake waveforms. This is demonstrated through tests with synthetic data. Both SNR and cross-correlation coefficients showed significant improvements for different realistic noise realizations. The application of denoised signals in surface wave analysis and receiver functions is discussed through tests with synthetic and real data.

description: We prove a representation of the partial autocorrelation function (PACF) of a stationary process, or of the Verblunsky coefficients of its normalized spectral measure, in terms of the Fourier coefficients of the phase function. It is not of fractional form, whence simpler than the existing one obtained by the second author. We apply it to show a general estimate on the Verblunsky coefficients for short-memory processes as well as the precise asymptotic behaviour, with remainder term, of those for FARIMA processes.

description: The role of British missionary organizations and their missionary representatives in the history of western Canada has not been closely examined by Canadian historians. The historiography of church expansion and missionary activity has been dominated by sympathetic observers representing a particular denomination, while the importance of cultural contact and the impact of christianity upon the Indians' social and religious institutions have been documented by the anthropologist. All writers, however, have ignored the voluminous primary material found in the archives of the missionary societies that played a significant role in "christianizing" and "civilizing" the Indian tribes of western Canada. The Protestant organization that dominated evangelical work among the natives of North West Canada was the Church Missionary Society of the Church of England. The propagation of the Christian Gospel was the fundamental purpose of the Church Missionary Society, and the missionary's task was to "christianize" the native population. Native customs, beliefs and social mores were defined in terms of the European view of society. The missionary hoped to raise up an economically viable native community of God-fearing, hard-working lay Christians. In fulfilling this objective the missionary was inevitably an agent of European ideas, values and social norms. He played a significant role in erecting schools, building hospitals, and tending to the social welfare of the Indian. He prepared the younger generation to appreciate the advantages of European civilization, and sought to plant God's Word among the adult population. The mission stations, although generally unsuccessful, were more influential as centres of acculturation than at converting the "heathen" and raising up a Christian community among the Blackfoot people. The Anglican missionaries were faced with the "irreligious" work of Catholic priests, a shortage of funds, and the reticent character of the Indian people. After many setbacks, the missionaries' persistent evangelization, combined with increasing aid from the federal government, finally began to yield results by 1895.

description: Recently, we adapted random walk arguments based on work of Nachmias and Peres, Martin-Löf, Karp and Aldous to give a simple proof of the asymptotic normality of the size of the giant component in the random graph $G(n,p)$ above the phase transition. Here we show that the same method applies to the analogous model of random $k$-uniform hypergraphs, establishing asymptotic normality throughout the (sparse) supercritical regime. Previously, asymptotic normality was known only towards the two ends of this regime.
