description: A new mechanism for memristive switching in 2D materials is through electric-field controllable electronic/structural phase transitions, but these devices have not outperformed status quo 2D memristors. Here, we report a high-performance bipolar phase change memristor from strain engineered multilayer 1T'-MoTe$_{2}$ that now surpasses the performance metrics (on/off ratio, switching voltage, switching speed) of all 2D memristive devices, achieved without forming steps. Using process-induced strain engineering, we directly pattern stressed metallic contacts to induce a semimetallic to semiconducting phase transition in MoTe2 forming a self-aligned vertical transport memristor with semiconducting MoTe$_{2}$ as the active region. These devices utilize strain to bring them closer to the phase transition boundary and achieve ultra-low ~90 mV switching voltage, ultra-high ~10$^8$ on/off ratio, 5 ns switching, and retention of over 10$^5$ s. Engineered tunability of the device switching voltage and on/off ratio is also achieved by varying the single process parameter of contact metal film force (film stress $\times$ film thickness).
On the dynamics of mechanical failures in magnetized neutron-star crusts

description: We consider the dynamics of a mechanical failure induced by a shear stress in a strongly magnetized neutron-star crust. We show that even if the elastic properties of the crust allow the creation of a shear crack, the strongly sheared magnetic field around the crack leads to a back-reaction from the Lorentz force which does not allow large relative displacement of the crack surfaces. Instead, the global evolution of the crack proceeds on a slow resistive time scale, and is unable to release any substantial mechanical energy. Our calculations demostrate that for {\it some} magnetic-field configurations, the magnetic forces cause, effectively, a plastic deformation of the crust when the resulting elastic shear stress exceeds the critical value for mechanical failure.

The association of fly pollination and the dioecious breeding system in flowering plants: an empirical examination
Creators: name: Borkent, Christopher
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 99-113
description: Dioecy is relatively uncommon among flowering plants, occurring in just 6% of species. It is associated with a suite of ecological characters whose role in breeding-system evolution is poorly known. I therefore explored the role of one correlate; generalist fly pollination. Flies acted differently than more specialized pollinators in their visits to plants, by revisiting flowers frequently and not discriminating between the sexes. In comparing dioecious and hermaphroditic species, I found that dioecious species had lower pollen transfer efficiency and pollen receipt, similar pollen removal and seed set, and higher fruit set than hermaphroditic species. Flies produced variance in reproductive characters, such as pollen removal and receipt, equaling that found in hermaphrodites, which should allow dioecious plants to compete effectively with hermaphrodites. Because flies visit plants differently than most other pollinators, their behaviour results in pollination attributes that could promote the evolution and maintenance of dioecy in some plant species.

description: The coupling of excited states and ionic dynamics is the basic and challenging point for the materials response at extreme conditions. In laboratory, the intense laser produces transient nature and complexity with highly nonequilibrium states, making it extremely difficult and interesting for both experimental measurements and theoretical methods. With the inclusion of laser-excited states, we extended ab initio method into the direct simulations of whole laser-driven microscopic dynamics from solid to liquid. We constructed the framework of combining the electron-temperaturedependent deep neural network potential energy surface with hybrid atomistic-continuum approach, controlling non-adiabatic energy exchange and atomistic dynamics, which enables consistent interpretation of experimental data. By large scale ab inito simulations, we demonstrate that the nonthermal effects introduced by hot electrons play a dominant role in modulating the lattice dynamics, thermodynamic pathway, and structural transformation. We highlight that the present work provides a path to realistic computational studies of laser-driven processes, thus bridging the gap between experiments and simulations.

description: The identification of deuteron with momentum in range of $0.52$-$0.72$ GeV/$c$ has been studied with the specific ionization energy loss information, using the data sample collected by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between $4.009$ and $4.946$ GeV. Clean deuteron samples are selected using time of flight information. For all data samples, the deuteron identification efficiencies are higher than $95\%$, with a maximum difference of $(4.93\pm0.95)\%$ between data and MC simulation. These verify the effectiveness of the deuteron identification method based on the specific ionization energy loss, and provide valuable information for the future studies of the processes involving deuteron in the final state at BESIII.

description: Spin-polarized metastable atoms of ultracold ytterbium are trapped at high density and their inelastic collisional properties are measured. We reveal that in collisions of Yb(3P2) with Yb(1S0) there is relatively weak inelastic loss, but with a significant spin-dependence consistent with Zeeman sublevel changes as being the dominant decay process. This is in strong contrast to our observations of Yb(3P2)-Yb(3P2) collisional loss, which are, at low field, much more rapid and have essentially no spin dependence. Our results give a guideline to use the 3P2 states in many possible applications.

description: We observe two-body loss of ${}^3P_0$ ${}^{87}$Sr atoms trapped in a one-dimensional optical lattice. We measure loss rate coefficients for atomic samples between 1 and 6 $μ$K that are prepared either in a single nuclear-spin-sublevel or with equal populations in two sublevels. The measured temperature and nuclear spin preparation dependence of rate coefficients agree well with calculations and reveal that rate coefficients for distinguishable atoms are only slightly enhanced over those of indistinguishable atoms. We further observe a suppression of excitation and losses during interrogation of the ${}^1S_0$-${}^3P_0$ transition as density increases and Rabi frequency decreases, which suggests the presence of strong interactions in our dynamically driven many-body system.

The fundamental determinants of destination and DMO tourism success: an empirical assessment
Creators: name: Bornhorst, Thomas L.
Publisher: name: Haskayne School of Business
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 178-187
description: Tourism success is a phrase often used yet never readily defined. Specifically, what tourism success means for a destination and Destination Management Organization (DMO) pursuing this economic driver. The primary purposes of this study was to examine the construct of tourism success as it relates to both destinations and DMOs, and to determine if a relationship exists between these two phenomena as perceived by multiple internal stakeholders involved in the tourism system. An open-ended structured questionnaire was constructed asking knowledgeable stakeholders across Canada to define the above constructs. Utilizing NVivo software to assist with the coding of responses provided by the respondents, and invoking the many different search tools available, thematic patterns of variables were found, and models developed that showed a relationship does in fact exist between the DMO and the destination in defining tourism success, though not a causal one.
Children's family and school capital: effects on mathematics achievement in Canada

description: Bibliography: p. 170-179
description: Using a broad theoretical framework and a nation-wide dataset, this study integrates several perspectives from prior research on both education and the family to produce a comprehensive picture of children's math achievement in Canada. To carry out this research, data from the third cycle of the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) was accessed from the Statistics Canada Prairie Regional Research Data Centre. Mathematics scores of children in grades 2 to 6 were regressed on variables that test the impact of financial capital (income resources), human capital (educational resources), and social capital (relationship resources) of both families and schools . In addition to highlighting the relative importance of both family and school resources independently, this study also explores the ways in which individual, family, and school characteristics additively affect educational achievement, as well as interact to affect achievement.

description: Bibliography: p. 137-169
description: Some pages are in colour.
description: The Eph family of receptor is the largest family of receptor tyrosine kinases known. The ephrins are the membrane tethered ligands for this system. The ephrins are divided into two classes: the glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored A-class ephrins, and the transmembrane B-class ephrins. Both classes of ephrins are associated with lipid rafts. The ephrins were expressed in MDCK cells, a polarized epithelial cell line that uses lipid rafts in sorting. Ephrin-A5 is apically sorted while ephrin-Bl is basolaterally sorted in this system as judged by immunofluorescence and Western blotting. The C-terminus of ephrin-Bl is not involved in its sorting in MDCK cells. The two classes of ephrins are differentially sensitive to Triton X-IOO and Brij 58, suggesting that they may be localized to different lipid rafts. The presence of ephrins in MDCK cells alters the actin cytoskeleton, which may explain the enhanced response to HGF/SF in this system.

description: This thesis investigates the fragmentation of the body, individual identity, society and language in the short stories of Aquí pasan cosas raras by Luisa Valenzuela. The different types of disintegration evidenced in this text occur during a time of intense political violence and personal insecurity in Argentina during the early 1970s; however, they are also symptomatic of a postmodern context as indicated by Jean-François Lyotard in The Postmodern Condition. Mark Ledbetter, in Victims and the Postmodern Narrative, details the characteristics and goals of the multiple struggles between the fragmented entities and the controlling entity that arise in a postmodern setting and are apparent in this collection by Valenzuela. The desire of the fragmented entity (body/identity) in Aquí pasan cosas raras is to create, through a new type of communication to be deciphered by a perceptive receiver, a message relaying a unique personal testimony that will be remembered.

We give a brief review of some aspects of MHD waves and coronal seismology which have recently been the focus of intense debate or are newly emerging. In particular, we focus on four topics: (i) the current controversy surrounding propagating intensity perturbations along coronal loops, (ii) the interpretation of propagating transverse loop oscillations, (iii) the ongoing search for coronal (torsional) Alfven waves and (iv) the rapidly developing topic of quasi-periodic pulsations (QPP) in solar flares.

description: We theoretically investigate the thermoelectric properties of zigzag graphene nanoribbons in the presence of extended line defects, substrate impurities and edge roughness along the nanoribbon's length. A nearest-neighbor tight-binding model for the electronic structure and a fourth nearest- neighbor force constant model for the phonon bandstructure are used. For transport we employ quantum mechanical non-equilibrium Green's function simulations. Starting from the pristine zigzag nanoribbon structure that exhibits very poor thermoelectric performance, we demonstrate how after a series of engineering design steps the performance can be largely enhanced. Our results could be useful in the design of highly efficient nanostructured graphene nanoribbon based thermoelectric devices.

description: Measurements of W-boson production at the LHC have reached percent-level precision and impose challenging demands on theoretical predictions. Such predictions directly limit the precision of measurements of fundamental quantities such as the W-boson mass and the weak mixing angle. A dominant source of uncertainty in predictions is from higher-order QCD effects. We present a calculation of W-boson production at the level of $α_s^3$ at fixed order and including transverse-momentum resummation. We further show predictions for a direct comparison with low-pileup ATLAS transverse-momentum and fiducial cross-section measurements at $\sqrt{s}=5.02\text{ TeV}$. We discuss in detail the impact of modern PDFs. Our calculation including the matching to W+jet production at NNLO will be publicly available the upcoming CuTe-MCFM release and allows for theory-data comparison at the state-of-the-art level.

description: Manganite perovskites host emerging physical properties of strongly-correlated electrons with charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom. Using epitaxial lift-off technique, we report enhancement of saturation magnetization and ferromagnetic transition temperature of the freestanding La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 membrane compared with the as-grown film on SrTiO3 substrate involving lateral tensile strain. Structural analysis reveals shrinkage of unit-cell volume by tensile strain relaxation in the freestanding membrane, which causes enhancement of the ferromagnetic interaction. The impact of the microscopic lattice deformation on the ferromagnetism of La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 indicates a high potential of this material for flexible electronics application with intriguing functionalities in strongly-correlated electron systems.

description: Suppose that party A collects private information about its users, where each user's data is represented as a bit vector. Suppose that party B has a proprietary data mining algorithm that requires estimating the distance between users, such as clustering or nearest neighbors. We ask if it is possible for party A to publish some information about each user so that B can estimate the distance between users without being able to infer any private bit of a user. Our method involves projecting each user's representation into a random, lower-dimensional space via a sparse Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform and then adding Gaussian noise to each entry of the lower-dimensional representation. We show that the method preserves differential privacy---where the more privacy is desired, the larger the variance of the Gaussian noise. Further, we show how to approximate the true distances between users via only the lower-dimensional, perturbed data. Finally, we consider other perturbation methods such as randomized response and draw comparisons to sketch-based methods. While the goal of releasing user-specific data to third parties is more broad than preserving distances, this work shows that distance computations with privacy is an achievable goal.

Load-bearing across diarthrodial joints with special reference to peripheral structures and the menisci of the knee

description: Bibliography: p. 133-146

description: Finite element models of the articulating surfaces of diarthrodial joints have typically depicted the joints as having a "Hertzian" type of contact, having a round convex surface sitting on a flat or concave surface with a higher radius of curvature. However, careful investigation of the major diarthrodial joints in the human body reveals that the mechanism of load bearing in these joints is different. Contact starts at the periphery of the joint at the site of an accessory peripheral circumferential structure and the contact area extends inwards as more load is applied. Finite element modelling of typical diarthrodial joints was performed and the new mechanism of load bearing was shown to be more efficient in reducing the matrix stresses and the fluid flow inside the articulating surfaces. The accessory peripheral circumferential structures act to confine the joint and to reduce the matrix fluid-flow-induced stresses. The meniscus of the knee joint is the largest of the peripheral circumferential structures. The structure of the meniscus is unique as it varies from the inner part to the outer peripheral part. The finite element models presented here are the first to show that this variation in the physical structure matches the variation in the stress states inside the different zones of the meniscus. The cartilage-like inner zone of the meniscus is under a stress state that is similar to that in the cartilage layers, high compressive stress and high fluid pressures. The ligament-like outer zone of the meniscus is subjected to high circumferential stresses aligned with the circumferential fibres. The very low shear properties of the meniscus allow it to deform and take the shape of the space between the two articulating surfaces without overstressing the articular cartilage layers. Due to the high flexibility of the meniscus and under certain loading configurations, however, a tear can develop inside the meniscus. Surgeons now tend to preserve as much as they can of these important tissues. The criteria of a successful repair mechanism are discussed based on the structure and the mechanical behaviour of the meniscus. The available repair techniques are compared and new repair techniques are presented.

description: Bibliography: p. 187-197
description: This thesis presents and explores the paths followed by twenty women in Calgary, Alberta as they approached and ultimately passed through the experience of childbirth, all but one of them for the first time. Twelve of the women in the study chose a 'standard' or 'conventional' path that led to birth in the hospital with a physician; eight women chose paths leading to 'alternative births' in different places or with different care providers. By analysing information collected through interviews, participation in prenatal classes and in the literature of childbirth, this study provides insight into the birth-related choices available to parents in Calgary. The focus of my research is to understand how pregnancy and birth were shaped for these women by looking at the choices they made preceding and during childbirth, and exploring how those choices were influenced by the cultural, social, historical, political and economic contexts in which they occurred.

description: In this paper, we first obtain an algebraic formula for the moments of a centered Wishart matrix, and apply it to obtain new convergence results in the large dimension limit when both parameters of the distribution tend to infinity at different speeds. We use this result to investigate APPT (absolute positive partial transpose) quantum states. We show that the threshold for a bipartite random induced state on $\C^d=\C^{d_1} \otimes \C^{d_2}$, obtained by partial tracing a random pure state on $\C^d \otimes \C^s$, being APPT occurs if the environmental dimension $s$ is of order $s_0=\min(d_1, d_2)^3 \max(d_1, d_2)$. That is, when $s \geq Cs_0$, such a random induced state is APPT with large probability, while such a random states is not APPT with large probability when $s \leq cs_0 $. Besides, we compute effectively $C$ and $c$ and show that it is possible to replace them by the same sharp transition constant when $\min(d_1, d_2)^{2}\ll d$.

description: We recently proposed a high-granularity calorimeter insert for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) that uses plastic scintillator tiles read out by SiPMs. Among its innovative features are an ASIC-away-of-SiPM strategy for reducing cooling requirements and minimizing space use, along with employing 3D-printed frames to reduce optical crosstalk and dead areas. To evaluate these features, we built a 40-channel prototype and tested it using a 4 GeV positron beam at Jefferson Laboratory. The measured energy spectra and 3D shower shapes are well described by simulations, confirming the effectiveness of the design, construction techniques, and calibration strategy. This constitutes the first use of SiPM-on-tile technology in EIC detector designs.
Cancer - death sentence or opportunity? The experience of transformation in individuals with diverse religious or spiritual backgrounds
Creators: name: Breitling, Beatrice M.E.
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 178-193
description: The purpose of this qualitative study was to provide an answer to the question: How do individuals with different religious or spiritual backgrounds experience transformation in the aftermath of a cancer diagnosis? The hope was to portray aspects of the after-treatment phase with a focus on the experience of personal growth, development and transformation in individuals with diverse spiritual backgrounds. The findings revealed that the transformation experienced by these women was not only of a similar nature, but touched on values that can be characterized as lived spirituality. They were a sense of self-appreciation, an increased desire to serve others, and a feeling of universal interconnectedness. All of these had a positive impact on self-care, relationships with self, others, and with a higher power. Despite the turmoil that had been part of the journey, the lives of my co-researchers were more meaningful, peaceful, and fulfilling. Findings from the study have the potential to argue for a sensitization of those in the helping professions regarding issues of personal, developmental, and spiritual needs of clients. Considerations may also be given to the creation of a new language regarding the cancer experience, one that is more conducive to the exploration of the potential for personal growth and transformation.
Murder by Words
Creators: name: Moretti, Franco
Publisher: name: Memoria di Shakespeare. A Journal of Shakespearean Studies
Year: 2021

description: The title of this essay comes from Hölderlin’s “Remarks on Antigone”, and the realization that in tragedy the most significant – and dangerous – acts are the words a character utters. After briefly discussing how wars and civil wars have offered the tragic imagination some of its typical materials, the essay examines two extreme cases – Sophocles’ Antigone and Shakespeare’s Macbeth – that make certain aspects of tragic form particularly clear. In their antithetical ways, Sophocles’ dialogues and Shakespeare’s soliloquies illustrate the way words accompany the course of action, especially near the turning-points of Antigone’s and Macbeth’s existence. A brief coda on Büchner’s Danton’s Death will suggest a possible nexus between tragic form and the modern perception of history.

Der Status quo der brasilianischen Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit am Beispiel der Kompetenz-Kompetenz
Creators: name: Prügel, Jan-Willem
Publisher: name: Studentische Zeitschrift für Rechtswissenschaft Heidelberg – Wissenschaft Online
Year: 2020

description: Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit wird im internationalen Handels- und Rechtsverkehr immer bedeutender, um Konflikte effizient und kostengünstig beizulegen. Die vorliegende Arbeit bewertet den aktuellen Entwicklungsstand und die justizielle wie gesetzgeberische Akzeptanz am Beispiel Brasiliens, das gemeinsam mit anderen südamerikanischen Staaten eine lange Geschichte der Schiedsfeindlichkeit hat, für den internationalen Kommerz aber zunehmend wichtiger wird. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass ein Wandel auf nationaler Ebene begonnen hat und Brasilien somit langsam das Potential entwickelt, eine Vorreiterrolle für den lateinamerikanischen Rechtsraum, insbesondere den Mercosur-Binnenmarkt, in Bezug auf schiedsrechtliche Gesetzesreformen und eine schiedsfreundliche Rechtsprechung einnehmen zu können. Um das weite Feld der Entwicklungen einzugrenzen, betrachtet die Arbeit ausführlich die Akzeptanz und Durchsetzbarkeit von Schiedssprüchen anhand des Grundprinzips der schiedsrichterlichen Kompetenz-Kompetenz.

Resonance in Forced Flux Transport Dynamos

description: We show that simple 2 and 3-layer flux-transport dynamos, when forced at the top by a poloidal source term, can produce a widely varying amplitude of toroidal field at the bottom, depending on how close the meridional flow speed of the bottom layer is to the propagation speed of the forcing applied above the top layer, and how close the amplitude of the $α$-effect is to two values that give rise to a resonant response. This effect should be present in this class of dynamo model no matter how many layers are included. This result could have implications for the prediction of future solar cycles from the surface magnetic fields of prior cycles. It could be looked for in flux-transport dynamos that are more realistic for the Sun, done in spherical geometry with differential rotation, meridional flow and $α$-effect that vary with latitude and time as well as radius. Because of these variations, if resonance occurs, it should be more localized in time, latitude and radius.

description: We construct two-dimensional supergravity theories endowed with a positive cosmological constant, that admit de Sitter vacua. We consider the cases of $\mathcal{N}=1$ as well as $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry, and couple the supergravity to a superconformal field theory with the same amount of supersymmetry. Upon fixing a supersymmetric extension of the Weyl gauge, the theories are captured, at the quantum level, by supersymmetric extensions of timelike Liouville theory with $\mathcal{N}=1$ and $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry respectively. The theories exhibit good ultraviolet properties and are amenable to a variety of techniques such as systematic loop expansions and, in the $\mathcal{N}=2$ case, supersymmetric localization. Our constructions offer a novel path toward a precise treatment of the Euclidean gravitational path integral for de Sitter, and in turn, the Gibbons-Hawking entropy of the de Sitter horizon. We argue that the supersymmetric localization method applied to the $\mathcal{N}=2$ theory must receive contributions from boundary terms in configuration space. We also discuss how these theories overcome several obstructions that appear upon combining de Sitter space with supersymmetry.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict: a case study of social factors in conflict resolution
Creators: name: Bridgewater, Warren Reed
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2004

description: Bibliography: p. 104-110
description: Given the nature of conflict it is not surprising that they are widely presented in terms of security or military issues. This is understandable and not in and of itself problematic, because in any conflict there will be aspects which must be dealt with through security measures. However, restricting understanding of conflict to its security aspects overlooks the inherent social factors which are always present in a conflict. However, focusing on security factors at the expense of social ones seriously compromises the possibility of resolution. This study will examine conflict from the perspective of social factors inherent to its root causes, outbreak, influences, and requirements for resolution. While security measures are appropriate for dealing with elements of a conflictual relationship, efforts aimed at addressing the underlying social factors hold the strongest prospect for reaching a lasting resolution to a conflict. The Palestine conflict will be used as a case study.
The KPZ equation with flat initial condition and the directed polymer with one free end

description: We study the directed polymer (DP) of length $t$ in a random potential in dimension 1+1 in the continuum limit, with one end fixed and one end free. This maps onto the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang growth equation in time $t$, with flat initial conditions. We use the Bethe Ansatz solution for the replicated problem which is an attractive bosonic model. The problem is more difficult than the previous solution of the fixed endpoint problem as it requires regularization of the spatial integrals over the Bethe eigenfunctions. We use either a large fixed system length or a small finite slope KPZ initial conditions (wedge). The latter allows to take properly into account non-trivial contributions, which appear as deformed strings in the former. By considering a half-space model in a proper limit we obtain an expression for the generating function of all positive integer moments $\bar{Z^n}$ of the directed polymer partition function. We obtain the generating function of the moments of the DP partition sum as a Fredholm Pfaffian. At large time, this Fredholm Pfaffian, valid for all time $t$, exhibits convergence of the free energy (i.e. KPZ height) distribution to the GOE Tracy Widom distribution

description: Although devices working on quantum principles can revolutionize the electronic industry, they have not been achieved yet as it is difficult to control their stability. We show that one can use evanescent modes to build stable quantum switches. The physical principles that make this possible is explained in detail. Demonstrations are given using a multichannel Aharonov - Bohm interferometer. We propose a new $S$ matrix for multichannel junctions to solve the scattering problem.

Shakespeare in Washington: From 'House of Cards' to Capitol Hill
Creators: name: Pagetti, Carlo
Publisher: name: Memoria di Shakespeare. A Journal of Shakespearean Studies
Year: 2021

description: In the twentieth century Shakespeare became a sort of incubator of mass culture and its formulaic genres. The history of Richard III enjoyed a popularity of its own: this Machiavellian dark lord was explored in an American context by Al Pacino in the movie Looking for Richard (1996), where one of the main characters, Buckingham, was acted by Kevin Spacey. Together with director Sam Mendes, Spacey, in the role of Richard Gloucester, made of Richard III the main performance in their ambitious Bridge Project (2011). The experience achieved by Spacey was crucial in the creation of the TV Netflix series House of Cards, conceived by Beau Willimon, whose pilot, directed by David Fincher, and aired on February 1, 2013, introduced the viewers to the deeds and misdeeds of the ambitious, scornful, ruthless American politician Frank Underwood, resolved to destroy enemies and friends in order to become President of the United States, explicitly a contemporary Richard Gloucester, also partly Iago, and partly Macbeth, supported by his wife Claire, interpreted by Robin Wright, a power-hungry Lady Macbeth.
