Quantum simulations of the interaction between solutes and spatial defects in metals.
Creators: name: Huber, Liam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This thesis presents a computational study of the interaction between solute atoms and defects in the crystal lattice of metals at low solute concentrations. To accurately capture the electronic behaviour of these solutes in complex environments, we use density functional theory calculations. We begin by examining the diffusion of technologically relevant rare earth solutes in Mg. The calculated activation energies agree qualitatively with experimental values. This work also demonstrates that the existing 8-frequency model for diffusion in hexagonally close-packed metals can be improved with the consideration of an additional vacancy jump frequency. We calculate the binding energies of solute atoms to a Ʃ7 grain boundary in Mg. These energies are dominated by elastic effects for many important alloying species, and we develop a computationally efficient model for predicting the binding energies for these elastically dominated solutes. These results agree well with the findings of other experimental and computational studies of Mg boundaries. Using molecular statics calculations of general high-angle grain boundaries in combination with our binding energy model, we predict binding energies for boundaries not accessible by quantum calculations. In addition to providing a better understanding of solute-grain boundary interaction in Mg, binding energies for use in models at higher length scales, and a new, efficient model for predicting binding energy, we also show the importance of using segregation models which utilize multiple binding energies to predict segregation levels. We develop an improved multiscale method for embedding quantum mechanical density functional theory calculations in much larger classical simulations. This method removes the constraints on structure size usually imposed by the high cost of quantum calculations by treating a small region of interest (e.g. a solute and its neighbourhood) with quantum accuracy while coupling the quantum domain to a much larger classical system. The method is developed and tested using solute binding energies to a vacancy and to sites at a special, high-symmetry grain boundary in Al, for which purely quantum mechanical evaluations are also possible, providing a reliable benchmark. We then apply this method to find solute binding energy to a general, low-symmetry grain boundary in Al.

Subjects: subject: 540 Chemistry & allied sciences

description: In this thesis, a series of phosphonium salts were designed and used as catalysts for CO2 fixation and conversion to different valuable products via reductive and non-reductive reactions. Firstly, a phosphonium salt and two bifunctional phosphonium salts bearing perfluorinated side chains were prepared for the preparation of cyclic carbonate. Subsequently, phosphonium internal salt and a phosphonium methylcarbonate saltcatalyzed selectively reductive C-N bond formation reaction between amines and CO2 as C1-source with hydrosilanes as reducing agent were developed.
P(III)/P(V) redox cycling catalysis

Subjects: subject: 540 Chemistry & allied sciences

description: P(III)/P(V) redox cycling catalysis avoids phosphine oxide waste in reactions by reducing it in situ using silanes as terminal reductants. New methods were developed. In a catalytic base-free Wittig (BFW) reaction highly substituted alkenes were formed using environmentally friendly PMHS. An intermediate of the BFW was scavenged with acyl chlorides. Activated alkenes could thus be converted to furans with an unusual substitution pattern. Alcohols and epoxides were converted stereospecifically in a catalytic Appel chlorination under low catalyst loading using small amounts of hexachloroacetone.

description: Abstract:
This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.
Le minoranze religiose escluse. Introduzione al tema

description: Questo incontro nasce da un dato di fatto che è sotto i nostri occhi: in Italia non tutte le minoranze religiose sono uguali o, meglio, sono trattate nello stesso modo dall’ordinamento giuridico. Nel 1978 Giorgio Peyrot poteva definire le minoranze religiose in Italia un “coacervo anonimo degli indistinti”. Aveva ragione perché allora vi era una divisione netta tra la Chiesa cattolica da un lato, i cui rapporti con lo Stato italiano erano regolati dai Patti lateranensi, e tutte le altre comunità religiose dall’altro, che ricadevano sotto la disciplina della legge sui culti ammessi del 1929. Ora non è più così e continuare a parlare di maggioranza e minoranze religiose, come se esse fossero due blocchi monolitici, sarebbe fuorviante. All’interno di quello che era “il coacervo anonimo degli indistinti”, è necessario distinguere almeno due grandi gruppi di minoranze religiose, quelle incluse nel sistema giuridico italiano e quelle che invece ne restano ai margini e che nel titolo di questo incontro sono definite “le minoranze religiose escluse”. Religious minorities escluded. A thematic introduction ABSTRACT: In the contest of a wider pluralism of the Italian and of the European society at large, it is more and more necessary to try to guarantee an equal treatment to all religious minorities. But how to identify what a religious minority is? This paper points three possible ways and finally proposes a new possible tool to analyse the legal status of religious minorities in Europe.

description: Il convegno, di cui la Rivista Stato, Chiese e pluralismo confessionale oggi pubblica le relazioni, prende le mosse da una riflessione nata all’interno dei contesti di ricerca specifici dei curatori. A vario titolo, abbiamo da anni seguito con attenzione il tema delle minoranze sotto molteplici aspetti: minoranze e diritti religiosi, conflitti tra libertà di espressione e libertà di religione, la tutela delle minoranze in Italia e negli ordinamenti giuridici degli stati europei. A partire da queste premesse, ci è parso opportuno organizzare un incontro che fosse dedicato a esaminare la situazione di alcuni gruppi religiosi di minoranza che sono giuridicamente e socialmente emarginati nella società italiana. Lo scopo del convegno è stato quello di valutare –attraverso un’analisi che prendesse in considerazione anche i profili storici, politici e sociologici del problema - la capacità del sistema giuridico italiano di includere i gruppi religiosi minoritari più piccoli e controversi e di discutere quali possano essere le migliori strategie per raggiungere questo obiettivo. Religious minorities in Italy at the margins. Religious diversity in Italy between Law and Politics ABSTRACT: The meeting aims at examining the situation of belief and religious minorities, which are at the margins of the Italian society and its legal system. Through an analysis, that also covers the historical, political and sociological profiles of the issue, speakers and participants will discuss how well the Italian legal system is able to respect and promote the rights of religious and belief organizations, including the smallest and newest ones. The debate will also put under scrutiny the capacity of the Italian legal system to include the smallest and most controversial religious minorities and the best strategies to achieve this goal.

Investigating the microwave-hydrogen peroxide treatment process for potential commercialization
Creators: name: MacSween, Jeffrey Vanek
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Two pilot-scale, dielectric heaters, that utilize different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), were modified to treat organic slurries with the aid of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). Organic slurries investigated include: waste activated sludge (WAS), liquid dairy manure (DM), and palm oil mill effluent (POME). Treatment efficacy was evaluated in terms of changes in the substrate’s digestibility, available nutrients, and physical properties. The first heating system operated at a microwave frequency of 915MHz (MW-H₂O₂) and was modified to attain treatment temperatures above 100°C. Results showed that such high temperatures permitted the effective use of larger oxidant dosages, which was found to be beneficial for treating DM and useful for treating WAS, in select circumstances. However, the additional equipment costs and difficulties encountered in operating a pressurized high temperature dialectic heating system may prove inhibiting at larger scales. The second heating system used radiofrequency EMR at 27MHz (RF-H₂O₂) and was modified from its original batch configuration for continuous operation. The continuous RF-H₂O₂ process, the first of its kind, was demonstrated to be a viable treatment technology that achieved comparable results to the better studied MW-H₂O₂ system for DM and WAS substrates. A controlled comparison of the two dielectric heaters showed that their treatment efficacy was similar, but suggested that heating at 27MHz offers advantages with respect to its operation and the degradation of organics. The effect of higher heating rates and a 60°C treatment regime on WAS were also investigated, revealing that the treatment efficacy of the MW/RF-H₂O₂ process was suppressed in both cases, particularly in regards to the release of nutrients. Using original experimental results and information from the literature, a full-scale, RF-H₂O₂ process is presented for treating thickened WAS from one million people. The proposed system recommends three 900kW 27MHz dielectric heaters, a final treatment temperature of 95°C, a H₂O₂ dosage of 0.35%(v/v) per percent of dry solids, a heat exchanger to preheat the substrate, and an optional holding tank to enhance the release of orthophosphates.

Reflections on ignorantia in re matrimoniali: a canon still relevant? ABSTRACT: The paper examines the origin of the canon on ignorantia in re matrimoniali, introduced by the 1917 Code of Canon Law, comparing it with the psychological presuppositions of scholastic doctrine that inspire the canonical discipline on matrimonial consent and with the consolidated principles in the canonical tradition about the relevance of the lack of debita cognitio in the spouses. Given that the canon has been preserved in the current legislation, critical remarks are raised regarding the consistency with the conception of matrimonial consent as an act of the person, and it is proposed to change the approach of the case of invalidity, from defectus cognitionis to defectus discretionis iudicii.

description: Keck/LRIS multi-object spectroscopy has been carried out on 140 of some of the lowest and highest surface brightness faint (19 < R < 22) dwarf galaxy candidates in the core region of the Coma Cluster. These spectra are used to measure redshifts and establish membership for these faint dwarf populations. The primary goal of the low surface brightness sample is to test our ability to use morphological and surface brightness criteria to distinguish between Coma Cluster members and background galaxies using high resolution HST/ACS images. Candidates were rated as expected members, uncertain, or expected background. From 93 spectra, 51 dwarf galaxy members and 20 background galaxies are identified. Our morphological membership estimation success rate is ~100% for objects expected to be members and better than ~90% for galaxies expected to be in the background. We confirm that low surface brightness is a very good indicator of cluster membership. High surface brightness galaxies are almost always background with confusion arising only from the cases of the rare compact elliptical galaxies. The more problematic cases occur at intermediate surface brightness. Many of these galaxies are given uncertain membership ratings, and these were found to be members about half of the time. Including color information will improve membership determination but will fail for some of the same objects that are already mis-identified when using only surface brightness and morphology criteria. Compact elliptical galaxies with B-V colors ~0.2 magnitudes redward of the red sequence in particular require spectroscopic follow-up. In a sample of 47 high surface brightness, UCD candidates, 19 objects have redshifts which place them in the Coma Cluster. Redshift measurements are presented and the use of indirect means for establishing cluster membership is discussed.

title: A critical analysis of the Every Child a Talker language programme and its possible influence on the formation of dispositions towards language/s in early years in England
Creators: name: Rojas-Bustos, Kyara Lorena
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2018

description: This thesis analyses the positions that minority languages were given in a language programme for early years provision in England. Every Child a Talker (ECaT) was an initiative that was designed to strengthen children’s early language development by improving the quality of language provision in early years settings (DfCSF, 2008b). These resources are still in use today in early years services. For this study, ECaT was interpreted as a market whose members were engaged in institutionalised activities to produce, reproduce, exchange and accumulate valued capital (Bourdieu, 1977; 1991).
 
Critical discourse analysis (mainly inspired by Fairclough, 2010; 2009) was applied using a range of analytical tools in order to provide a systematic interpretation of discursive constructions of language practice. The resources and guidelines that were distributed to support this initiative were interpreted as institutionalised macro discourses designed to influence local language practice. Two consultants who worked in the implementation of the initiative were interviewed with the intention of recontextualising the discursive constructions around language practice at the micro level.
 
This research suggests that there is a pervasive process of legitimation of one dominant language at the expense of the ‘other languages’, thus perpetuating monolingual ideologies and practices. While the ‘other languages’ were partially included, this analysis argues that they were also extensively excluded and underappreciated as value capital. Although resistance to and transformation of dominant discourses appeared in the interviews, the highly regulated structure of the initiative tends to diminish local knowledge. Significant contradictory discourses about inclusivity and multicultural practices in the early years sector, as well as the potential marginalisation of home language/s, are also reported.

description: In this paper, we define a new product over $\mathbb{R}^{\infty}$, which allows us to obtain a group isomorphic to $\mathbb R^*$ with the usual product. This operation unexpectedly offers an interpretation of the Rédei rational functions, making more clear some of their properties, and leads to another product, which generates a group structure over the Pell hyperbola. Finally, we join together these results, in order to evaluate solutions of Pell equation in an original way.

Extracellular Granzyme K mediates endothelial inflammation through the cleavage of Protease Activated Receptor-1
Creators: name: Sharma, Mehul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Granzymes are a family of serine proteases that were once thought to function exclusively as mediators of cytotoxic lymphocyte-induced target cell death. However, non-lethal roles for granzymes, including Granzyme K (GzK), have been recently proposed. As recent studies have observed elevated levels of GzK in plasma of patients diagnosed with sepsis, we hypothesized that extracellular GzK induces a pro-inflammatory response in endothelial cells. In the present study, extracellular GzK proteolytically activated Protease Activated Receptor-1 (PAR-1) leading to increased IL-6 and MCP-1 production in Human Umbilical Venous Endothelial Cells (HUVEC). Enhanced expression of ICAM-1 along with an increased capacity for adherence of THP-1 cells was also observed. Characterization of downstream pathways implicated the MAPK p38 pathway for ICAM-1 expression, and both the p38 and the ERK1/2 pathways in cytokine production. GzK also increased TNFα–induced inflammatory adhesion molecule expression. Furthermore, the physiological inhibitor of GzK, IαIp, significantly inhibited GzK activity in vitro. In summary, extracellular GzK is not cytotoxic but promotes a pro-inflammatory response in endothelial cells.

Specifically, it analyses the rejection generated by the absence of a mesured debate in which the most controversial aspects could have been discussed and a consensus reached, which would have required giving a more active role to the educational community and citizens. A proper approach requires, on the contrary, bringing together positions that truly balance the differents rights and guarantees at stake.

Identity, Technology, and Religion: Sources of a legal culture for the global age

description: SUMMARY: 1. The Medieval Age - 2. Becoming Modern - 3. Anglophone and Civilian - 4. Empire and Nation - 5. Global and Postmodern. ABSTRACT: There are many ways to understand the project of globalization as it unfolds in the twenty-first century. It is often viewed in terms of technological advance, finance and trade, or travel and communication. Each of these describe aspects of the project, yet none of its parts is more important than the legal basis upon which a regimen of global governance is being constructed. It is a legal regime of two parts, the coercive, or adjudicative and the persuasive, or educative. It involves the ordering of persons and things on a global scale as well as shaping the mind and thought of a global public. But the sources of this expansive framework of authority are neither recent nor modern. Instead, they are derived from two historic legal traditions, Anglophone and Civilian, as those traditions carry forward many accoutrements of the legal past. Among these are techniques and instruments for shaping human identity and human understanding in ways that fulfill the requirements of legal rule. In fact, the global project follows on a long tradition of employing religion as the educative instrument of governance. However, the new project of global rule is unprecedented in that it is intended to include all peoples in all regions of the earth. The project is also taking on a unique character, becoming Anglicized as the adaptability of Anglophone law subsumes many features of Civilian practice. But the great challenge is not only to impose judicial authority, it is also to instill attitudes of acceptance and habits of compliance among a global public. The purpose of what follows is to provide perspective on the project of globalization in both its adjudicative and educative aspects, with a special emphasis both on the use of technology to shape human understanding, and the use of religion as an instrument of legal rule. To do so this paper will focus on a broad historical context and on continuing historical themes in the development of a twenty-first century global law.

A laboratory study of filter compatibility with implications for coursier dam
Creators: name: Roos, Drian Morkel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Modern filter criteria are routinely used in engineering practice for the design of filters in embankment dams. Although somewhat well-developed, these criteria are based on results from a variety of non-standardised test devices and methods, and are rarely validated by means of field data or full-scale testing. Furthermore, very little work has been done towards understanding how filters built before the advent of modern filter design may be assessed. To address this knowledge gap, the Continuing Erosion Filter (CEF) test and empirical criteria for the assessment of existing filters had been developed. Decommissioned in 2003, following a long history of sinkholes, piping and seepage-related incidents, Coursier Dam presents an excellent opportunity for study. CEF tests have been conducted on soils sampled at the dam site, to determine the material susceptibility to filter incompatibility. It is concluded that the lower core from Coursier Dam is susceptible to filter incompatibility where it is in contact with a stratum of the foundation, and that this filter incompatibility may explain the occurrence of sinkholes. The finding is supported by the results of a parametric study on soil from another dam site. Furthermore, it is found that CEF testing, in conjunction with the empirical criteria for filter assessment, provides useful insights into the phenomenon of base-filter compatibility.

ABSTRACT: The display of a crucifix in the classrooms breaks the separatism principle and, although voted by the majority of the class, is discriminatory versus the unfavorable pupils and teacher. The protection of the freedom of consciency permits the teacher himself in case to displace the icon throughout his lesson.

description: Recent studies have established that the typical spatial resolutions used for the atmospheric and oceanic components included in the CMIP5 coordinated exercise (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 5), i.e around 100km-150km globally, are a limiting factor to correctly reproducing climate mean state and variability, where processes such as eddies, clouds, orography effects, small scale hydrology... are not represented correctly. The latest generation of models, under development or just starting to be used, have grid spacing in the 20-50 km range, and there are evidences that a number of important climate processes are better represented at this resolution (Prodhomme et al, 2016) (e.g. aqua planet, ENSO, satellite validation, blocking, tropical storm numbers, etc.). However, more resolution is needed yet, very high resolution global models are expected to improve our predictions and understanding of the effect of global warming on high impact weather events on seasonal, decadal and century timescales (Zhang et al, 2015). For this reason, BSC is developing a coupled version of the EC-Earth 3.2 climate model at a groundbreaking resolution of about 10 km (called T1279-ORCA12).

description: Intermittent hypoxia (IH) occurs in association with obstructive sleep apnea and is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of hypertension. The proposed mechanisms involved include endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness, increased vascular resistance and impaired arterial baroreflex. We sought to examine the effects of a single 6-hour bout of IH on the global vascular, and carotid baroreflex regulation of mean arterial pressure (MAP). We hypothesized that 6 hours of IH would increase 24-hour MAP, reduce endothelium-dependent vasodilation, impair vascular strain, induce oscillatory conduit artery shear patterns and shift the carotid baroreflex to operate at higher MAP while eliciting blunted control of leg vascular conductance (LVC). Ten young, normotensive men free of sleep apnea were exposed to two 6-hour conditions: 1) breathing one-minute of room air followed by one-minute of hypoxia (IH; mean minimum oxygen saturation = 80.7±0.4% [mean±SEM]), and 2) breathing room air (SHAM). Arterial blood pressure was recorded using 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation and reactive hyperemia were measured before and immediately after each condition 6-hour protocol. Vascular strain was measured using two-dimensional speckle-tracking in the common carotid and femoral artery, in addition to upper and lower limb hemodynamics during each testing condition. Carotid baroreflex control of MAP and LVC was assessed after each testing condition using the variable pressure neck chamber technique. Six hours of IH elevated 24-hour MAP (2.6±0.8 mmHg, P=0.008). Reactive hyperemia and flow-mediated dilation were unaffected by IH. Common carotid artery strain was reduced during IH compared to SHAM (room air cycle, P=0.012; hypoxia cycle, P<0.001) and a trend towards IH-impaired common femoral artery strain was observed (P=0.055). The lower limb exhibited enhanced oscillatory shear only during IH. Intermittent hypoxia displaced the carotid baroreflex control of MAP curve to higher arterial blood pressures (P=0.045) and blunted LVC responses to hypertensive stimuli. Oscillatory shear patterns in the lower limbs, impaired vascular strain and blunted carotid baroreflex control of LVC may be involved in IH-induced hypertension, providing insight on the early pathogenic processes.

description: In this article we investigate the Casimir effect in the presence of a medium by quantizing the Electromagnetic (EM) field in the presence of a magnetodielectric medium by using the path integral formalism. For a given medium with definite electric and magnetic susceptibilities, explicit expressions for the Casimir force are obtained which are in agree with the original Casimir force between two conducting parallel plates immersed in the quantum electromagnetic vacuum.

Palmitoylation on NMDA receptor trafficking and function in corticostriatal co-culture from HD mouse model
Creators: name: Wang, Liang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder in which the medium-sized spiny neurons (MSNs) of the striatum are earliest and most severely affected. Selective striatal degeneration in HD has been caused, in part, by altered N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) activity. Our lab has found in the YAC128 transgenic mouse model of HD that GluN2B-containing NMDARs (2B-NMDARs) at extrasynaptic (Ex) sites are increased in striatum at an early stage; however, the mechanism underlying altered NMDAR trafficking in HD remains unknown. Palmitoylation at the C-terminus of 2B-NMDAR regulates its surface expression and synaptic targeting. Notably, a palmitoyl transferase (PAT) enzyme – ZDHHC17 (HIP14) – interacts with huntingtin, the protein mutated in HD. Pilot data in the lab suggests reduced 2B-NMDAR palmitoylation may contribute to increased Ex-NMDAR in striatal MSN from YAC128 HD mice. However, a potential role for HIP14 in regulating 2B-NMDAR trafficking has not been explored. On the other hand, suppression of acyl-protein thioesterases 1/2 (APT1/2), the depalmitoylation enzymes, by a small molecule inhibitor PalmB leads to increased protein palmitoylation level, which may affect NMDAR distribution. Here, we examined the effect of changing palmitoylation on NMDAR trafficking and function in YAC128 HD mice. Knockdown of endogenous HIP14 did not change 2B-NMDAR surface expression and total NMDAR current. The treatment of DMSO (vehicle) and PalmB reduced synaptic NMDAR current and increased Ex-NMDAR current, and the main difference was found in FVB/N (control) mouse. In contrast, after 4 hours of PalmB treatment, miniature excitatory postsynaptic current (mEPSC) frequency significantly increased at YAC128 but not FVB/N corticostriatal synapse. Investigation of palmitoylation on NMDAR activity is useful for clinical application.

The use of airborne LiDAR to assess tree species and forest biomass in subtropical forests
Creators: name: Cao, Lin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The subtropical forest biome accounts for approximately a quarter of the area of China and is particularly important for local economies, and for maintaining biodiversity and the carbon balance of forest ecosystems. Despite their importance, there is still considerable uncertainty about the characterization and spatial distribution of tree species, as well as the carbon budgets of these forests, many of which have been altered by anthropogenic activities. Remote sensing has the potential to provide quantitative, spatially explicit information for mapping and monitoring forest ecosystems. It is also a cost-effective tool to provide temporally uniform and “wall-to-wall” observations over time. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is an active remote sensing laser technology that provides an advantage over most other remote sensing technologies in its ability to provide detailed three-dimensional information of forest canopy structure, which is particularly useful for studying forest biophysical and structural properties. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate novel approaches for using and examining the effectiveness of LiDAR technologies, in order to classify tree species and estimate forest biomass and dynamics, across a study site within the subtropical region of southeast China. Specifically, airborne LiDAR was evaluated for its ability to: (i) discriminate tree species using small-footprint full-waveform LiDAR metrics; (ii) estimate forest biomass components by discrete-return and full-waveform LiDAR metrics; (iii) spatially extrapolate the estimation of forest biomass components, and (iv) predict and map biomass dynamics using multi-temporal LiDAR data. The results of this dissertation confirm that LiDAR-based approaches can make significant contributions to analyze the structure, composition and distribution of tree species across the study site, and provide effective methodologies and techniques for developing high resolution, spatially explicit estimations of forest biomass (and its dynamics). These methods have important applications to sustainable forest management, forest carbon cycling studies and carbon accounting projects.

description: We address the persistence of Hölder continuity for weak solutions of the linear drift-diffusion equation with nonlocal pressure \[ u_t + b \cdot \grad u - \lap u = \grad p,\qquad \grad\cdot u =0 \] on $[0,\infty) \times \R^{n}$, with $n \geq 2$. The drift velocity $b$ is assumed to be at the critical regularity level, with respect to the natural scaling of the equations. The proof draws on Campanato's characterization of Hölder spaces, and uses a maximum-principle-type argument by which we control the growth in time of certain local averages of $u$. We provide an estimate that does not depend on any local smallness condition on the vector field $b$, but only on scale invariant quantities.

description: We show that the integer quantum Hall effect systems in plane, sphere or disc, can be formulated in terms of an algebraic unified scheme. This can be achieved by making use of a generalized Weyl--Heisenberg algebra and investigating its basic features. We study the electromagnetic excitation and derive the Hamiltonian for droplets of fermions on a two-dimensional Bargmann space (phase space). This excitation is introduced through a deformation (perturbation) of the symplectic structure of the phase space. We show the major role of Moser's lemma in dressing procedure, which allows us to eliminate the fluctuations of the symplectic structure. We discuss the emergence of the Seiberg--Witten map and generation of an abelian noncommutative gauge field in the theory. As illustration of our model, we give the action describing the electromagnetic excitation of a quantum Hall droplet in two-dimensional manifold.
