description: The International Research Institute for Climate and Society has been issuing experimental seasonal tropical cyclone activity forecasts for several ocean basins since early 2003. In this paper we describe the method used to obtain these forecasts, and evaluate their performance. The forecasts are based on tropical cyclone-like features detected and tracked in a low-resolution climate model, namely ECHAM4.5. The simulation skill of the model using historical observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over several decades, as well as with SST anomalies persisted from the month ending at the forecast start time, is discussed. These simulation skills are compared with skills of purely statistically based hindcasts using as predictors observed SSTs preceding the forecast start time. For the recent 6-year period during which real-time forecasts have been made, the skill of the raw model output is compared with that of the subjectively modified probabilistic forecasts actually issued. Despite variations from one basin to another, the hindcast skills of the dynamical and statistical forecast approaches are found, overall, to be approximately equivalent. The dynamical forecasts require statistical post-prossessing (calibration) to be competitive with, and in some circumstances superior to, the statistical models. Hence, during the recent period of real-time forecasts, the subjective forecasts are found to have resulted in probabilistic skill better than that of the raw model output, primarily because of the forecasters' elimination of the systematic bias of "overconfidence" in the model's forecasts. Prospects for the future improvement of dynamical tropical cyclone prediction are considered.
Reidemeister torsion for linear representations and Seifert surgery on knots

description: We study an invariant of a 3-manifold which consists of Reidemeister torsion for linear representations which pass through a finite group. We show a Dehn surgery formula on this invariant and compute that of a Seifert manifold over $S^2$. As a consequence we obtain a necessary condition for a result of Dehn surgery along a knot to be Seifert fibered, which can be applied even in a case where abelian Reidemeister torsion gives no information.

description: The thesis looks into the sectarian dynamics of the 2011 Arab Uprisings and the accompanying struggles over power in both Bahrain and Syria. It builds on constructivist understandings of sectarian identities and the process of securitization of those identities, by actors within each state, to concentrate power via means of a sectarianization of the conflicts. It also shows how regional power shifts and struggles, and how it exacerbates the sectarianization of the uprisings. The thesis examines the struggle from several points of view, including the international, regional, and national levels. It also focuses on the role of the following key variables in shaping the outcome of the 2011 Arab Uprisings: colonial legacy, ideology, class, tribe, socioeconomic status, and political standing. This thesis is divided into two parts: the first focuses on Bahrain and the second focuses on Syria. Each part comprises one chapter that focuses on the state formation of the respective countries and another chapter that focuses on the causes and processes of sectarian conflict due to the state formation and securitization of the 2011 uprisings and their trajectories. Firstly, the thesis studies the early stages of the state formation processes by which the current states were established, involving the techniques of sect-state relations, especially regarding the distribution of resources and control over state politics. Subsequently, it examines the 2011 “sectarian conflicts,” showing that they are not an inevitable feature of multi-sect states. Instead, it was only through the use of certain securitization methods that the regimes were able to manipulate sectarian identities in the uprisings. The peaceful protesters turned to sect-based violent conflict due to clashes between the regimes and radical groups. The securitization of sectarian identities by both regimes and opposition groups, along with the inequitable distribution of material gains, affected audience receptivity. The internal social movements of 2011 were further drawn toward sectarianization through the interventions and changing trajectories of regional powers.

We explore how electron-electron interactions in a donor-acceptor system, resembling weakly coupled quantum dots with varying charging energy, can modify the systems response to an external bias, taking it from normal Coulomb blockade behavior to negative differential resistance (NDR) in the curent-voltage characteristics.
Incarceration and support for children in fragile families

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Families

description: High US incarceration rates have motivated recent research on the negative effects of imprisonment on later employment, earnings, and family relationships. Given the high rates of fatherhood among men in jails and prisons, a large number of children are placed at considerable risk when a parent is incarcerated. This paper examines one dimension of the economic risk faced by children of incarcerated fathers: the reduction in the financial support that they receive. We use a population-based sample of urban children to examine the effects of incarceration on this support. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal regression models indicate that men with incarceration histories are significantly less likely to contribute to their families and those that do contribute provide significantly less. These negative effects of incarceration on fathers' financial support are due not only to diminished performance in the labor market by formerly incarcerated men, but also to their increased likelihood to live apart from their children. Men contribute far less through child support (formal or informal) than they do when they share their earnings within their household, suggesting that the destabilizing effects of incarceration on family relationships place children at significant economic disadvantage.

description: We present the full data set of the VIMOS spectroscopic campaign of the ESO/GOODS program in the CDFS, which complements the FORS2 ESO/GOODS spectroscopic campaign. The GOODS/VIMOS spectroscopic campaign is structured in two separate surveys using two different VIMOS grisms. The VIMOS Low Resolution Blue (LR-Blue) and Medium Resolution (MR) orange grisms have been used to cover different redshift ranges. The LR-Blue campaign is aimed at observing galaxies mainly at 1.83.5. The full GOODS/VIMOS spectroscopic campaign consists of 20 VIMOS masks. This release adds 8 new masks to the previous release (12 masks, Popesso et al. 2009). In total we obtained 5052 spectra, 3634 from the 10 LR-Blue masks and 1418 from the 10 MR masks. A significant fraction of the extracted spectra comes from serendipitously observed sources: ~21% in the LR-Blue and ~16% in the MR masks. We obtained 2242 redshifts in the LR-Blue campaign and 976 in the MR campaign for a total success rate of 62% and 69% respectively, which increases to 66% and 73% if only primary targets are considered. The typical redshift uncertainty is estimated to be ~0.0012 (~255 km/s) for the LR-Blue grism and ~0.00040 (~120 km/s) for the MR grism. By complementing our VIMOS spectroscopic catalog with all existing spectroscopic redshifts publicly available in the CDFS, we compiled a redshift master catalog with 7332 entries, which we used to investigate large scale structures out to z~3.7. We produced stacked spectra of LBGs in a few bins of equivalent width (EW) of the Ly-alpha and found evidence for a lack of bright LBGs with high EW of the Ly-alpha. Finally, we obtained new redshifts for 12 X-ray sources of the CDFS and extended-CDFS.

description: Omega Centauri is the most well studied Globular Cluster because of its numerous puzzling features. Intensive spectroscopic follow-up observing campaigns targeting stars at different positions on the color-magnitude diagram promises to clarify some of these peculiarities. To able to target cluster members reliably during spectroscopic surveys and both spatial and radial distributions in the cluster outskirts without including field stars, a high quality proper-motion catalog of omega Cen and membership probability determination are required. The only available wide field proper-motion catalog of omega Cen is derived from photographic plates, and only for stars brighter than B~16. Using ESO archive data, we create a new, CCD-based, proper-motion catalog for this cluster, extending to B~20. We used the high precision astrometric software developed specifically for data acquired by WFI@2.2m telescope and presented in the first paper of this series. We achieved a good cluster-field separation with a temporal base-line of only four years. We corrected our photometry for sky-concentration effects. We provide calibrated photometry for UBVRI wide-band data plus narrow-band filter data centered on H_alpha for almost 360 000 stars. We can confirm that the omega Cen metal-poor and the metal-rich components have the same proper motion, and demonstrate that the metal-intermediate component in addition exhibits the same mean motion as the other RGB stars. We provided membership probability determination for published omega Cen variable star catalogs. Our catalog extends the proper-motion measurements to fainter than the cluster turn-off luminosity, and covers a wide area (~33'x33') around the center of omega Cen. Our catalog is now electronically available to the astronomical community.

description: The properties of tropical cyclones in three atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) with low-resolution are discussed. The models are analysed for a period of 40 years. Characteristics of the tropical cyclones in the models are analysed and compared with those of observations, such as genesis position, number of cyclones, accumulated cyclone activity, number of storm days, tracks, and others. The three AGCMs have different levels of skill in simulating the different aspects of tropical cyclone activity in different regions. Some of the weak and strong features in simulating tropical cyclone activity variables are common for the three models, others are unique for each model and basin. The relation between model tropical cyclones and ENSO is analyzed in a paper currently in preparation.
Separation axioms and minimal topologies
Creators: name: Liaw, Saw-Ker
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A hierarchy of separation axioms can be obtained by considering which axiom implies another. This thesis studies the properties of some separation axioms between T₀ and T₁ and investigates where each of the axioms belongs in this hierarchy. The behaviours of the axioms under strengthenings of topologies and cartesian products are considered. Given a set X, the family of all topologies defined on X is a complete lattice. A study of topologies which are minimal in this lattice with respect to a certain separation axiom is made. We consider certain such minimal spaces, obtain some characterizations and study some of their properties.
Geology of the Gondwana systems with special reference to India and Australia and with a view to test if the known facts make a reasonable palaeogeographic synthesis when applied to Carey's reconstruction of Gondwanaland
Creators: name: Ahmad, Fakhruddin
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: About a hundred years ago two brothers, W.T. and H.F. Blanford, working in the sub-tropical parts of India declared that the conglomerate they had examined in Talcher was of glacial origin and consequently there was land Ice in the tropical part of India in the late Palaeozoic times. Their observation and reasoning becomes more remarkable when it is realised that they did not find any striated or facetted boulders to back their argument. Ridiculed by their colleagues, and laughed at by geologists, physicists, astronomers, meteorologists, and other naturalists abroad, they had to wait for about two decades before the discovery of a striated pavement decided the issue in their favour. Medlicott in a manuscript report in 1872 suggested the name Gondwana after the ancient Kingdom of the Gondso an aboriginal tribe which still populates the area, for the formation, and Feistmantel brought it into print in 1876. Discoveries of similar formations in Australia, S. America, and S. Africa followed in quick succession, and land connections were envisaged to explain the occurrence of identical flora. It was Suess, who in 1885, introduced the term Gondwanaland for the hypothetical continent which comprised all these continents and the \land-bridges\" that connected them."

Climatic changes

description: The East African humanitarian community is looking for ways to better respond to the challenges presented by climate risks, including climate change, but is struggling to access appropriate and targeted scientific data that can inform their operations. Recent advances in science and technology have produced a variety of new tools for humanitarian organizations working on climate risk management. Humanitarian actors have an enormous opportunity to utilize these tools to inform risk reduction, preparedness and contingency planning, as well as program implementation. Despite such advances, many challenges remain to the practical application of these tools in the humanitarian context. Often times, climate information is too technical or lacks the context necessary for use in humanitarian planning and operations. Thus, climate information must be tailored to specific needs and presented in formats that are readily accessible to these users. In response, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), in close collaboration with the International Federation of Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), initiated the development of a 2-day Humanitarian Climate Risk Management Workshop on 23- 24 February 2010. Initiatives that enable interaction can help to bridge the divide between humanitarian practitioners and climate experts; feedback provided by end-users can guide research and development of new prediction technologies and tools, as well as more appropriate packaging of current information. At the same time, humanitarian actors need to evaluate how such information can usefully inform their decision-making at various timescales. The challenge of decision-making under uncertainty must be addressed if climate information is to be used effectively within humanitarian planning, preparedness, and response. This workshop aimed to address such barriers to the use of climate information.

description: THE BEHAVIOURAL CONTRACT:‚ÄövÑvÆ A neo-piagetian view of the collaboration between individuals and their environments based on the form and synchrony between an EEG cognitive competence profile and cognitive performance profiles. This paper adopts a competence-performance view of cognitive development (Flavell and Wohlwill 1969; Fischer 1980; Bertenthal, cited Fischer 1981; Bullock, cited Fischer 1981; Fischer and Silvern 1985) where cognitive competence reflects the structure of the individuals' minds and cognitive performance is a variable derived from a collaboration between individuals and their environments (Fischer and Bullock 1984). It is hypothesised that cognitive performance profiles reflect the cognitive competence component of the collaboration when the learning environment is manipulated to induce an individual's best performance. It is argued that EEG data suggests the location of powerful alpha wave generators located in the occipital-parietal region of the brain. Energy from these appear to be an adequate index of cognitive competence. Cross-sectional EEG data (Matousek and Petersen 1973) and other neuro-physiological data are interpreted in terms of a discontinuous function of the natural logarithm of age, which maps skill levels defined by Fischer (1980) and presents as a normative profile of cognitive development. Patterns of cognitive performances extracted from the developmental literature provide evidence of profiles of similar form and synchrony to that derived neuro-physiologically and this supports the hypothesis. Educational considerations implicit in the developmental profile suggests a view that decrements in cognitive performance can be predicted to occur throughout cognitive development. These should be considered as corresponding to periods of structural reorganization within the brain. The outcome of which is a more effective level of cognitive competence which increases that components ability to act in future collaborations with the environment, so increasing the expectation of the quality of cognitive performance outcomes. It is suggested that while SOLO levels (Biggs and Collis 1982) confound Skill Theory levels the SOLO taxonomy provides an appropriate and relatively simple technique for evaluating qualitative changes in performance. First, in establishing that a new level of competence is attained, and secondly, in observing any environmentally induced decline from optimal performance.
E pluribus unum? essays in European macroeconomics
Creators: name: Pagliari, Maria Sole
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: This dissertation develops empirical models aimed at analysing some relevant macroeconomictrends and policies in the euro area, with a focus on post-crisis dynamics. Chapter 1 focuses on the decoupling between productivity and compensation growth, which has become more evident in the euro area after the 1990s. By using static and time-varying econometric techniques, it assesses how extensively this phenomenon has affected the different economies in the euro zone. Results suggest that both the aggregate euro area and its four biggest economies have experienced a significant decrease in the pass-through of productivity on to compensation, such decoupling being a rather long-lasting phenomenon with a certain degree of cross-country heterogeneity in terms of magnitude and timing.Chapter 2 aims at assessing the macroeconomic impact of unconventional monetary policies (UMPs) that the ECB has put in place in the euro area after 2007. With this purpose, it first documents how the relative importance of the main transmission channels of such measures has changed over time, with the portfolio rebalancing being generally more impactful than the signalling channel after theWhatever it takes"speechin July 2012. However, it also provides evidence of a great degree of heterogeneity across core and peripheral economies, as well as over time. A time-varying Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) model with stochastic volatility is then constructed to account for such heterogeneity, with UMP shocks identified by means of "dynamic" sign restrictions. Finally, a counterfactual experiment based on the outcome of the model estimation shows that a more aggressive loosening on the part of the ECB could have helped support the economic performance of peripheral euro area economies.Chapter 3 tackles the question as to what extent the process of (re-)shaping the architecture of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) has repercussions outside of the continent. This is done by quantifying the economic effects that shocks to EMU cohesion can have on the rest of the world. Notably, the chapter proposes an identification strategy to isolate economic stress shocks to the euro area which is based on the imposition of sign, magnitude and narrative restrictions on a daily SVAR model with financial variables. The effects of euro area stress shocks on the rest of the world are then further investigated by means of panel local projections for a set of advanced and emerging economies. Shocks to EMU cohesion are found to have a significant impact on the rest of the world.

Embedding theorems in finite soluble groups
Creators: name: Hughes, Peter Walter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: By a group we will mean a finite soluble group. It is an interesting fact, (Pardoe [1]), that the subgroup closure of the class of groups P[symbol omitted], those with a unique complemented chief series, is all groups. Let X be the class of groups with a complemented chief series. We investigate the action of closure operations T such that TX = X upon P[symbol omitted]. The purpose of this is to find a collection of such closure operations whose join applied to P[symbol omitted] is X . In the course of this investigation we introduce a new closure operation M defined by; MY = { G | G = , X₁ ɛ Y, X₁ sn G, ( |G : X₁|,•••,|G : Xn| ) = 1 }
Transport Coefficients at Zero Temperature from Extremal Black Holes

description: Using the AdS/CFT correspondence we study transport coefficients of a strongly-coupled (2 +1)-dimensional field theory at {\it zero} temperature and finite charge density. The field theory under consideration is dual to the extremal Reissner-Nordstrom AdS_4 black hole in the bulk. We show that, like the cases of scalar and spinor operators studied in \cite{Faulkner:2009wj}, the correlators of charge (vector) current and energy-momentum (tensor) operators exhibit scaling behavior at low frequency. The existence of such low frequency behavior is related to the fact that the near-horizon geometry of the extremal black hole background has an AdS_2 factor. We carefully calculate the shear viscosity (at zero temperature) and show that the ratio of the shear viscosity to the entropy density takes the value of 1/4π. Because of the AdS_2 factor, we argue that this result stays the same for all d-dimensional boundary field theories dual to the extremal Reissner-Nordstrom AdS_{d+1} black holes. Also, we compute the charge conductivity at zero temperature. The limiting behavior of the conductivity for small frequencies is also attributed to the near horizon AdS_2 factor and is argued to hold regardless of the dimension of the zero-temperature boundary field theory. Finally, using the extremal dyonic AdS_4 black hole as the background, we extract the conductivity in the presence of a constant magnetic field.

Characteristics of Western North Pacific Model Tropical Cyclogenesis

description: "Tropical cyclogenesis" in a low-resolution Atmospheric General Circulation model is studied, focusing on the Western North Pacific region during the June-October typhoon season. Time-dependent composites of the cyclones are formed and analyzed, with a focus on the temporal evolution of quantities averaged in space around the storm centers. Day zero of each composite corresponds to the time at which the cyclone passes the criteria for detection. Some variables whose magnitude is related to cyclone intensity (such as low-level vorticity and surface wind speed) show similar temporal evolution, with a slight decrease up to a few days before day zero, a weak local minimum at that point, and a strong increase after that for a week or more. The relative humidity at low levels has its minimum somewhat later, at about day zero. The mean composite environmental vertical wind shear lacks a minimum and increases monotonically through the entire genesis period until a week after day zero. This variation is mostly due to the mean cyclone track's moving through regions of different climatological shear, which varies monotonically from easterly to westerly, crossing zero shortly after day zero, and would be consistent with a controlling role of the shear on model cyclogenesis. A signal in the skewness of the lower-level relative humidity distribution over the ensemble suggests that a dry lower troposphere can prevent development of a model cyclone. The local minimum in many variables' time series suggests the presence of an initial disturbance that is suddenly enhanced, becoming a model tropical cyclone, as has been noted in observations.
Mathematical study of the $β$-plane model for rotating fluids in a thin layer

description: This article is concerned with an oceanographic model describing the asymptotic behaviour of a rapidly rotating and incompressible fluid with an inhomogeneous rotation vector; the motion takes place in a thin layer. We first exhibit a stationary solution of the system which consists of an interior part and a boundary layer part. The spatial variations of the rotation vector generate strong singularities within the boundary layer, which have repercussions on the interior part of the solution. The second part of the article is devoted to the analysis of two-dimensional and three-dimensional waves. It is shown that the thin layer effect modifies the propagation of three-dimensional Poincaré waves by creating small scales. Using tools of semi-classical analysis, we prove that the energy propagates at speeds of order one, i.e. much slower than in traditional rotating fluid models.

description: The main features of three atmospheric general circulation models forced with monthly-mean, observed sea surface temperature for the 1979-1995 period are analyzed and compared with observational data. The ensemble means and intra-ensemble standard deviations of several variables were investigated for the two seasons December-January-February and June-July-August. Correlations of the ensemble mean anomalies with observational data and with the indices Nino-3 and the Atlantic Dipole were also calculated. The probability distribution function of the precipitation at different regions was also examined, as well as the internal and external variance of the precipitation in the three models. No model has uniformly better characteristics than the others. On the contrary, each model has strengths and weaknesses that depend on the region and season.

description: We show that the number of lattice directions in which a d-dimensional convex body in R^d has minimum width is at most 3^d-1, with equality only for the regular cross-polytope. This is deduced from a sharpened version of the 3^d-theorem due to Hermann Minkowski (22 June 1864--12 January 1909), for which we provide two independent proofs.
