Shake-up Processes in Intersubband Magneto-photoabsorption of a Two-Dimensional Electron Gas
Creators: name: Dzyubenko, A. B.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I theoretically study shake-up processes in photoabsorption of an interacting low-density two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in magnetic fields. Such processes, in which an incident photon creates an electron-hole pair and simultaneously excites one electron to one of the higher Landau levels, were observed experimentally [D.R. Yakovlev et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 3974 (1997)] and were called combined exciton-cyclotron resonance (ExCR). The recently developed theory of ExCR [A.B. Dzyubenko, Phys. Rev. B 64, 241101 (2001)] allows for a consistent treatment of the Coulomb correlations, establishes the exact ExCR selection rules, and predicts the high field features of ExCR. In this work, I generalize the existing theory of high-field ExCR in the 2DEG to the case when the hole is excited to higher hole Landau levels.

description: High resolution, pulse to pulse observation of the 2016 Vela glitch and its relaxation provided an opportunity to probe the neutron star internal structure and dynamics with unprecedented detail. We use the observations of this glitch to infer superfluid characteristics in the framework of the vortex creep model. The glitch rise time constraint of 12.6 seconds put stringent limits on the angular momentum exchange between the crustal superfluid and the observed crust. Together with the observed excess acceleration in the rotation rate as compared to the post-glitch equilibrium value this discriminates crustal superfluid-crust lattice and core superfluid-crustal normal matter coupling time-scales. An evident decrease in the crustal rotation rate immediately before the glitch is consistent with the formation of a new vortex trap zone that initiates the large scale vortex unpinning avalanche. Formation of vortex trap by a crust breaking quake induces short-lived magnetospheric changes. The long term post-glitch spin-down rate evolution reveals the moments of inertia and recoupling time-scales of the superfluid layers participating in the glitch and leads to an estimation of the time to the next glitch which agrees with the time interval between the 2016 and 2019 glitches. Our results are consistent with theoretical estimates of effective neutron and proton masses in the superfluid. We also constrain the vortex line-flux tube pinning energy per intersection as 2 MeV.

 Male. Generally resembling the pale form of A. rufifacies, differing as follows:
 Head. Eye with very sparse hairing or (usually) none; postocellar setae 2–4; upper occiput with few or (usually) no dark hairs behind the postocular row.
 Thorax. Median dark vitta usually well developed, before and behind suture. Intrapostalars clearly differentiated, often stouter than usual in congeners; proepisternal hairs pale.
 Legs. Foretibia with preapical ad usually 0.5–0.6 length of adjacent d bristle. Tibiae usually paler than femora, but difference not very striking. Hindtibia with shortest Pd1 in the whole group: Pd1/Sdd 0.5–0.7, mean 0.62.
 Abdomen. Syntergite 1+2 with 2–4 differentiated submedian marginals; tergite 3 with submedian marginals at most slightly differentiated.
 Terminalia (Figs 50, 51). Surstyli characteristically expanded, leaf-like, with rounded apex and many short, stout bristles on both surfaces; cerci very characteristically curved in anterior direction and with substantial apicointernal teeth.
 Female. Recognized on the basis of a single specimen apparently co-reared with the above male from Talmalmo. Differs from male in usual sexual characters.
 Terminalia (Fig. 86). Tergite 6 as in A. dayi; sternite 6 with straight posterior margin, no median projection; tergite 7 with apical parallel pieces rather fine, completely separated from the strongly sclerotized basal pieces; sternite 7 more
.
finely developed than in two preceding species, relatively broad and not so strongly downcurved; membrane of tergites 7 and 8 finely spiculate, individual spicules resolved only with high power, but segments 6–7 with intersegmental membrane coarsely and conspicuously spiculate.
 Distribution. Qld, NSW, ACT, and WA, and no doubt occurs in Vic. and SA as well.
 Biology. As for the previous species, a single co-reared pair from a weevil larva (presumably Gonipterus scutellatus) has enabled correlation of the sexes. Other specimens were taken at light.
 Notes. The species is named for my colleague, the late Dr Ian Common, whose light traps contributed so much of the material studied here.

description: The present study assessed the impact of body positive (BP) social media content on body image (BI), self-worth (SW), and body dissatisfaction (BD) using a pre-post design. Female college students (n = 140) filled out Time 1 questionnaires 1-2 weeks prior to the lab session, in which they were randomly assigned to view a) the body positivity (BP) blog or b) control blog for 10 minutes before filling out the Time 2 questionnaire. Researchers hypothesized that participants in the BP condition would have greater improvement on outcome measures, compared to the control condition. Researchers also hypothesized that any improvement observed in the BP condition would be moderated by current ED symptomatology and previous ED history, as a result of social identification theory. Results showed that while both conditions demonstrated improvement for BI, the BP condition showed significantly greater improvement. Among women of color in the BP condition BD also improved significantly, but we did not see this same effect with whites in the BP condition. Subsequent analyses demonstrate that current ED symptomatology accounts for a statistically significant amount of the variance (3.9%) in BI scores for those in the BP condition. Overall, results suggest that exposure to BP content can improve body image for college females, and that this improvement is impacted by current ED symptomatology.
Integrating Aboriginal food into the UBC food system : scenario #4

Year: 2014

description: In order to understand how to integrate Aboriginal food into the UBC food system, a situational analysis has been conducted. In this analysis, we focused our research based on the Aboriginal community. The initial steps in our research involved setting interviews with Hannah Lewis (Aboriginal program liaison), Rick Ouellet (Student and Community Development Officer) and Denise sparrow (owner of Salishan Catering). Subsequently, a discussion board was held at the UBC Long House during the Feast Bowl event. Through our method of research, we were able to determine who our key stakeholders were. The key findings from our interviews were that Aboriginal food is constantly evolving through every generation; thus, it should not be romanticized as static set of cuisine. Also, in the Aboriginal community, food is used as a vehicle for community connection and sharing. Through the open-ended discussion board at the UBC Long house, some of the key finds were that most respondents favored the idea of integrating Aboriginal food into the UBC food system. However, concerns were raised that the UBC Food Services focuses primarily on economic profitability, turning the food into a commodity, where ultimately the cultural context in the food would be lost. Before integration of Aboriginal food into the UBC food system can commence, we recommend that UBC Food Services and the Aboriginal community to establish a common vision through meetings, committees and etc. Subsequently, we recommend increasing land availability for production of Aboriginal crops and implementing Aboriginal cooking classes.

The determination is via the axial Ward identity (AWI) and includes a non-perturbative evaluation of the renormalisation constant. Numerical results have been obtained at several lattice spacings, enabling the continuum limit to be taken. Results indicate a value for the strange quark mass (in the MSbar-scheme at a scale of 2GeV) in the range 100 - 130MeV.

description: Public funding for art museums and galleries in England has been declining since the 1980s. Some institutions, namely large museums and those located in London, have adapted well by adopting fundraising practices. Other museums have lacked the resources to adapt to the landscape and have struggled to keep up with continuing public funding cuts. This thesis examines which fundraising practices English museums are using and compares them to the US museum fundraising model in order to understand to what extent US practices can be adopted in England. English museums are generally successful raising funds from corporations and foundations, but are less successful with individual donors. English art museums and galleries can establish a very stable mixed method funding stream if they can successfully engage more individual donors from their communities with practices based on the US model in combination with their successful corporate and foundation fundraising practices.

Extending the thermal near field through compensation in hyperbolic waveguides

description: A promising method to leverage near-field power densities without the use of nanoscale vacuum gaps is through hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM) waveguides. When placed between a hot and cold reservoir, an ideal HMM can transmit surface waves across several microns, enabling an extension of near-field enhancements. However, when accounting for transmission loss due to realistic levels of absorption within the waveguide, previous studies have shown that the enhancements are significantly curtailed at wide separations. In our study, we investigate the role of internal sources within realistic non-isothermal HMMs. We demonstrate that, in some cases, the emission from the HMM accounts for over 90% of the total heat transfer to the receiver, and that these additional sources can largely compensate for optical losses associated with decreased transmission from the emitter to the receiver. Lastly, we investigate the spectral transport in a realistic 3-body system which has mismatching optical properties between the boundaries (emitter and receiver) and the waveguide (HMM). Our model shows that the near-field thermal transport remains spectrally selective to the boundaries, even as major radiative contributions come from the waveguide. This work may enable the design of non-isothermal emitter-waveguide-receiver systems that transmit near-field power levels over wider separations.

description: While the form factors and parton distributions provide separately the shape of the proton in coordinate and momentum spaces, a more powerful imaging of the proton structure can be obtained through phase-space distributions. Here we introduce the Wigner-type quark and gluon distributions which depict a full-3D proton at every fixed light-cone momentum, like what seen through momentum("color")-filters. After appropriate phase-space reductions, the Wigner distributions are related to the generalized parton distributions (GPD's) and transverse-momentum dependent parton distributions which are measurable in high-energy experiments. The new interpretation of GPD's provides a classical way to visualize the orbital motion of the quarks which is known to be the key to the spin and magnetic moment of the proton.

description: The Life Cycle Assessment of the UBC Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Center for Drug Research and Development was performed in order to evaluate its environmental impacts. This building is currently under construction and in order to attain the most reliable data and to evaluate their performance and impacts on the environment, more accurate data collection is required. Which itself requires more accurate and up to date drawings and models. This project was done through modeling the building using On-Screen Takeoff and Athena Impact Estimator software. Since this building is under construction, BIM model was found helpful and more updated than structural and architectural drawings and was used as a supplement to these drawings. According to the Bill of Materials obtained from On-Screen Takeoff and Athena Impact Estimator, five most significant materials of this building were recognized to be concrete 30Mpa, 5/8" Fire-Rated Type X Gypsum Board, glazing panels, galvanized studs and rebar rod, and light sections. The output from the Impact Estimator (IE) is a list of impact category during the manufacturing and construction phases to the end-of-life stage of the building. The results of the study in terms of the impact categories are as follow: •Global warming potential: 1.04E+07 kg CO₂ eq •Ozone layer depletion: 1.51E-02 kg CFC-11 eq •Acidification potential: 4.12E+06 moles of H⁺ eq •Eutrophication potential: 5.16E+03 kg N eq •Smog potential: 4.99E+04 kg NOx eq •Human health respiratory effects: 4.14E+04 kg PM2.5 eq •Weighted resource use: 5.60E+07 ecologically weighted kg •Fossil fuel use: 1.08E+08 MJ After performing Sensitivity Analysis on the five most common materials in the building and evaluating their effects on each impact category, walls show great impacts on global warming, ozone layer depletion, acidification potential, smog potential, human health respiratory effects, and fossil fuel use more than other assemblies. Also, columns and beams have the major contribution to eutrophication potential impact category since they mainly consist of concrete and rebar. Floors play the main role in impact potential of weighted resource use.

Wideband Spectroscopy of Two Radio Bursts on AD Leonis

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We report high-time-resolution, broadband spectroscopic observations of two radio bursts on the classical flare star AD Leonis. The observations were acquired by the 305 m telescope at Arecibo Observatory on 2003 June 13-14. Using the Wideband Arecibo Pulsar Processor, these observations sampled a total bandwidth of 400 MHz, distributed over a 500 MHz frequency range, 1120--1620 MHz, with a frequency resolution of 0.78 MHz and a time resolution of 10 ms. A radio burst observed on June 13 is characterized by the presence of multitudes of short duration ($Δt \sim$30 ms), high brightness temperature ($T_{b}>10^{14}$K), highly circularly polarized, fast-drift radio sub-bursts, with median bandwidths $Δν/ν\sim$5%. The inverse drift rates are small, and have a symmetric distribution (both positive and negative frequency drifts) with a Gaussian FWHM inverse drift rate of 4.5$\times10^{-4}$ s/MHz. The fast-drift sub-bursts occur at a mean rate of 13 s$^{-1}$ and show no evidence for periodic recurrence. The fast-drift radio events on AD Leo are highly reminiscent of solar decimetric spike bursts. We suggest the emission is due to fundamental plasma radiation. A second highly circularly polarized radio burst, recorded June 14, has markedly different properties: a smoothly varying intensity profile characterized by a slow drift in frequency with time (-52 MHz s$^{-1}$). Under the assumption that the source is due to a disturbance propagating through the low corona, a source size of 0.1--1 R$_{\star}$ is inferred, implying a brightness temperature range 6$\times10^{11}$--6$\times10^{13}$K: another example of a coherent radio burst.

Promoting Community Engagement and Integration: Strategies of Collaboration Used in Socially Inclusive Art Centers Across the United States
Creators: name: Pittman, Laura
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The socially inclusive Art Center model established in the 1970s by Florence and Elias Katz, addressed the growing need for community that resulted from the national push for deinstitutionalization of many intellectually and developmentally disabled citizens. Today, the sixty-three Art Centers identified across the country continue to promote integration and inclusion for their artists. This research explores nonprofit strategies of collaboration as a method of integration and community engagement which will protect the structure of Art Center model and its unique benefits. Data was collected from 25 Art Centers through an explanatory sequential mixed method design, defining 54 collaborations. The collaborations were analyzed through James E. Austin’s Collaboration Continuum and reviewed in tandem with popular theories of motivation, such as resource dependency theory.

description: Based on the proposal that the Skyrme theory is a theory of monopole we provide a new interpretation of Skyrme theory, that the theory can also be viewed as an effective theory of strong interaction which is dual to QCD, where the monopoles (not the quarks) are confined through the Meissner effect. This dual picture leads us to predict the existence of a topological glueball in QCD, a chromoelectric knot which is dual to the chromomagnetic Faddeev-Niemi knot in Skyrme theory, whose mass and decay width are estimated to be around $60 GeV$ and $8 GeV$. As importantly, the existence of the magnetic vortex and the magnetic vortex ring in Skyrme theory strongly indicates that the theory could also be interpreted to describe a very interesting low energy condensed matter physics in a completely different environment. These new interpretations of Skyrme theory puts the theory in a totally new perspective.

description: The socially inclusive Art Center model established in the 1970s by Florence and Elias Katz, addressed the growing need for community that resulted from the national push for deinstitutionalization of many intellectually and developmentally disabled citizens. Today, the sixty-three Art Centers identified across the country continue to promote integration and inclusion for their artists. This research explores nonprofit strategies of collaboration as a method of integration and community engagement which will protect the structure of Art Center model and its unique benefits. Data was collected from 25 Art Centers through an explanatory sequential mixed method design, defining 54 collaborations. The collaborations were analyzed through James E. Austin’s Collaboration Continuum and reviewed in tandem with popular theories of motivation, such as resource dependency theory. This thesis defines the current landscape of collaborative strategies utilized in Art Centers across the country, highlighting key characteristics of successful collaborations and a path forward.

description: We find that the fermion determinant is not generally positive in a class of lattice actions recently constructed by Cohen et al. [hep-lat/0307012]; these are actions that contain an exact lattice supersymmetry and have as their target (continuum) theory (4,4) 2-dimensional super-Yang-Mills. We discuss the implications of this finding for lattice simulations and give some preliminary results for the phase of the determinant in the phase-quenched ensemble.

Using radon as a groundwater tracer to study hypotelminorheic habitats
Creators: name: Kharazi, Seyed Mohammad Hossein
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Hypotelminorheic, or shallow groundwater, habitats are important hot spots of urban biodiversity that have not been thoroughly studied. These habitats occur when groundwater discharges via small seepage springs into slight depressions in an area of low to moderate slope, known as a perched aquifer. Near Potomac Heritage Trail is a hypotelminorheic habitat that is home to the endangered invertebrate Stygobromus hayi (Hubricht & Mackin). In an effort to understand the hydrology of this critical habitat, this study explored whether radon could be used to determine residence time in the perched aquifer which could provide valuable information to preserve and protect S. hayi. The results from the study did not reveal significant correlations between radon concentration and seep discharge rate, most likely due to snowfall that disrupted the daily sample collection routine and caused a delayed influx of water from snowmelt into the perched aquifer. However, the correlation between radon and precipitation was statistically significant, suggesting it may be a useful indicator of hydrological processes in the seep. Further research spanning a longer time period and studying more sites is needed to provide greater insight towards understanding hydrological patterns in hypotelminorheic habitats.

POLITICAL TENSIONS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE POLITICAL IDEOLOGY OF THE VIRGINIAN STAMP ACT CRISIS AND THE JAMAICAN PRIVILEGE CONTROVERSY
Creators: name: Nam, Michelle

subject: Historical studies

description: During the eighteenth century, the exportation of British political ideology was an important imperial tool that was utilized by Great Britain to maintain control across the large expanse of their empire. The settlers of Virginia and Jamaica held onto essential principles of British political ideology into their own colonies and espoused them in their own manner as evident in their political discourse and provincial government systems. During the years of 1764-1766, the American Stamp Act crisis and the Jamaican privilege controversy were an imperial test of these shared political principles. Through a comparative analysis between these two significant imperial conflicts, an apparent ideological disconnect occurred between the British metropole and the Virginian and Jamaican colonies which played a significant role within the Stamp Act crisis and the Jamaican privilege controversy.

description:
Scientists from diverse backgrounds are underrepresented in academia. This lack of diversity impedes scientific discovery and innovation. Underrepresented (UR) scientists tend to conduct research on issues relevant to underrepresented populations, including chronic disease prevention and management, and health disparities. Difficulty in attaining grant funding is a major barrier preventing UR scientists from remaining in academia. Programs designed to provide UR scientists with career development training can help increase the number of UR scientists who obtain grant funding. These programs have shown some level of success, yet none have been specifically designed to target scientists conducting research pertaining to the interests of the National Institute for Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Disorders (NIDDK). Herein, the Bringing Resources to Increase Diversity, Growth, Equity, and Scholarship for Obesity, Nutrition, and Diabetes Research (BRIDGES) consortium is described. BRIDGES is the first program that has been funded by the NIDDK designed to increase the success rate of UR scientists competing for and obtaining funding related to nutrition, obesity, and diabetes. Four programs across the country, located in California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Louisiana, were funded in 2022. By design, some programmatic elements are shared across each of the funded programs, including mentoring and a pilot and feasibility funding program. There are also elements that are specific to each individual program. The BRIDGES program is expected to impact a substantial number of UR scientists who are then likely to have an influence on nutrition, obesity, diabetes and health disparities research, shaping NIH priorities, and future scientists conducting NIDDK-related research.

description: The interactions among human beings represent the backbone of our societies. How people interact, establish new connections, and allocate their activities among these links can reveal a lot of our social organization. Despite focused attention by very diverse scientific communities, we still lack a first-principles modeling framework able to account for the birth and evolution of social networks. Here, we tackle this problem by looking at social interactions as a way to explore a very peculiar space, namely the adjacent possible space, i.e., the set of individuals we can meet at any given point in time during our lifetime. We leverage on a recent mathematical formalization of the adjacent possible space to propose a first-principles theory of social exploration based on simple microscopic rules defining how people get in touch and interact. The new theory predicts both microscopic and macroscopic features of social networks. The most striking feature captured on the microscopic side is the probability for an individual, with already $k$ connections, to acquire a new acquaintance. On the macroscopic side, the model reproduces the main static and dynamic features of social networks: the broad distribution of degree and activities, the average clustering coefficient and the innovation rate at the global and local level. The theory is born out in three diverse real-world social networks: the network of mentions between Twitter users, the network of co-authorship of the American Physical Society and a mobile-phone-call network.

Ballistic conductance of Ni nanowire with a magnetization reversal

description: The approach proposed by Choi and Ihm for calculating the ballistic conductance of open quantum systems is generalized to deal with magnetic transition metals. The method has been implemented with ultrasoft pseudopotentials and plane wave basis set in a DFT-LSDA ab-initio scheme. We present the quantum-mechanical conductance calculations for monatomic Ni nanowire with a single spin reversal. We find that a spin reversal blocks the conductance of $d$ electrons at the Fermi energy of the Ni nanowire. On the other hand, two $s$ electrons (one per each spin) are perfectly transmitted in the whole energy window giving $2G_0$ for the total conductance. The relevance of these results in connection with recent experimental data is discussed.
