description: The variety of isotopes in cosmic rays allows us to study different aspects of the processes that cosmic rays undergo between the time they are produced and the time of their arrival in the heliosphere. In this paper we present measurements of the isotopic ratios 2H/4He, 3He/4He, 6Li/7Li, 7Be/(9Be+10Be) and 10B/11B in the range 0.2-1.4 GeV of kinetic energy per nucleon. The measurements are based on the data collected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, AMS-01, during the STS-91 flight in 1998 June.

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.

description: Motivated by the unique physical properties of {\em biological active matter}, e.g., cytoskeletal dynamics in eukaryotic cells, we set up {\em effective} two-dimensional (2d) coarse-grained hydrodynamic equations for the dynamics of thin {\em active gels} with polar or nematic symmetries. We use the well-known three-dimensional (3d) descriptions [K. Kruse {\em et al}, {\em Eur. Phys. J E}, {\bf 16}, 5 (2005); A. Basu {\em et al}, {\em Eur. Phys. J E}, {\bf 27}, 149 (2008)] for thin active gel samples confined between parallel plates with appropriate boundary conditions to derive the effective 2d constitutive relations between appropriate thermodynamic fluxes and generalised forces for small deviations from equilibrium. We consider three distinct cases, characterised by spatial symmetries and boundary conditions, and show how such considerations dictate the structure of the constitutive relations. We use these to study the linear instabilities, calculate the correlation functions and the diffusion constant of a small tagged particle, and elucidate their dependences on the {\em activity} or nonequilibrium drive.

description: The development of molecular nanostructures plays a major role in emerging organic electronic applications, as it leads to improved performance and is compatible with our increasing need for miniaturisation. In particular, nanowires have been obtained from solution or vapour phase and have displayed high conductivity, or large interfacial areas in solar cells. In all cases however, the crystal structure remains as in films or bulk, and the exploitation of wires requires extensive post-growth manipulation as their orientations are random. Here we report copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) nanowires with diameters of 10-100 nm, high directionality and unprecedented aspect ratios. We demonstrate that they adopt a new crystal phase, designated eta-CuPc, where the molecules stack along the long axis. The resulting high electronic overlap along the centimetre length stacks achieved in our wires mediates antiferromagnetic couplings and broadens the optical absorption spectrum. The ability to fabricate ultralong, flexible metal phthalocyanine nanowires opens new possibilities for applications of these simple molecules.

description: We assess the relationships between the surface densities of the gas and star formation rate (SFR) within spiral arms of the nearby late-type spiral galaxies M81 and M101. By analyzing these relationships locally, we derive empirically a kiloparsec scale Kennicutt-Schmidt Law. Both M81 and M101 were observed with the Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) aboard AKARI in four far-infrared bands at 65, 90, 140, and 160 um. The spectral energy distributions of the whole galaxies show the presence of the cold dust component (Tc~20 K) in addition to the warm dust component (Tw~60 K). We deconvolved the cold and warm dust emission components spatially by making the best use of the multi-band photometric capability of the FIS. The cold and warm dust components show power-law correlations in various regions, which can be converted into the gas mass and the SFR, respectively. We find a power-law correlation between the gas and SFR surface densities with significant differences in the power law index N between giant HII regions (N=1.0) and spiral arms (N=2.2) in M101. The power-law index for spiral arms in M81 is similar (N=1.9) to that of spiral arms in M101. Conclusions: The power-law index is not always constant within a galaxy. The difference in the power-law index can be attributed to the difference in the star formation processes on a kiloparsec scale. N~2 seen in the spiral arms in M81 and M101 supports the scenario of star formation triggered by cloud-cloud collisions enhanced by spiral density wave, while N~1 derived in giant HII regions in M101 suggests the star formation induced by the Parker instability triggered by high velocity HI gas infall. The present method can be applied to a large galaxy sample for which the AKARI All Sky Survey provides the same 4 far-infrared band data.

description: We report an 75As-nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) study on heavily electron-doped LaFeAsO_1-xF_x(La1111) with Tc=5 K. Nuclear spin relaxation rate (1/T1) measurement has revealed that a Hebel-Slichter (HS) peak partially recovers in heavily electron-overdoped regimes where the nesting condition of hole and electron Fermi surfaces(FSs) becomes significantly worse. This is in contrast to previous results reported in optimally doped La1111 with Tc=28 K where a lack of the HS peak was reported. It indicates that the interband scattering between the hole and electron FSs is strongly suppressed by an almost vanishing hole FS through the heavily electron-overdoping. Our findings strongly suggest that the sign reversal of the gap functions on the different FSs, that is, s(+-)-wave state is realized in La1111 compounds. We remark that interband scattering on well-nested FSs is essential for stabilizing the s(+-)-wave state and enhancing the Tc up to 28 K in LaFeAsO-based superconductors.

Under mild additional conditions, we show that such a limit cycle attracts every non-constant solution. As a special case, we prove limit cycle's uniqueness for an ODE studied in \cite{ETA} as a model of pedestrians' walk. This paper is an extension to equations with a non-linear $g(x)$ of the results presented in \cite{S}.

description: From documenting human rights abuses to studying online advertising, web archives are increasingly positioned as critical resources for a broad range of scholarly Internet research agendas. In this article, we reflect on the motivations and methodological challenges of investigating the world’s largest web archive, the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine (IAWM). Using a mixed methods approach, we report on a pilot project centred around documenting the inner workings of ‘Save Page Now’ (SPN) – an Internet Archive tool that allows users to initiate the creation and storage of ‘snapshots’ of web resources. By improving our understanding of SPN and its role in shaping the IAWM, this work examines how the public tool is being used to ‘save the Web’ and highlights the challenges of operationalising a study of the dynamic sociotechnical processes supporting this knowledge infrastructure. Inspired by existing Science and Technology Studies (STS) approaches, the paper charts our development of methodological interventions to support an interdisciplinary investigation of SPN, including: ethnographic methods, ‘experimental blackbox tactics’, data tracing, modelling and documentary research. We discuss the opportunities and limitations of our methodology when interfacing with issues associated with temporality, scale and visibility, as well as critically engage with our own positionality in the research process (in terms of expertise and access). We conclude with reflections on the implications of digital STS approaches for ‘knowing infrastructure’, where the use of these infrastructures is unavoidably intertwined with our ability to study the situated and material arrangements of their creation.

description: To the student of thermodynamics the most difficult subject is entropy. In this paper we examine the actual, practical application of entropy to two simple systems, the homogeneous slab with fixed boundary values of the temperature, and an isolated atmosphere in the presence of the static gravitational field. The first gives valuable insight into the nature of entropy that is subsequently applied to the second system. It is a basic tenet of thermodynamics that the equilibrium of an extended, homogeneous and isolated system is characterized by a uniform temperature distribution and it is a strongly held belief that this remains true in the presence of gravity. We find that this is consistent with the equations of extended thermodynamics but that entropy enters in an essential way. The principle of equivalence takes on a new aspect.

description: In this paper we study fermion perturbations in four dimensional black holes of string theory, obtained either from a non-extreme configuration of three intersecting five-branes with a boost along the common string or from a non-extreme intersecting system of two two-branes and two five-branes. The Dirac equation for the massless neutrino field, after conformal re-scaling of the metric, is written as a wave equation suitable to study the time evolution of the perturbation. With the aid of Prony fitting of time-domain profile we calculate the complex frequencies that dominate the quasinormal ringing stage, and also determine this quantities by the semi-analytical sixth order WKB method. We also find numerically the decay factor of fermion fields at very late times, and show that the falloff is identical to those appeared for massless fields in other four dimensional black hole spacetimes.

Induced polarization effects in inductive source electromagnetic data
Creators: name: Marchant, David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Induced polarization (IP) surveys are commonly conducted to map the distribution of electrical chargeability, a diagnostic physical property in mineral exploration and in many environmental problems. Although these surveys have been successful in the past, the galvanic sources required make their application labour intensive and prevents them from being applied in some settings. The ability to detect chargeability with a geophysical technique that employs inductive sources, eliminating the need to inject current into the ground, would provide a valuable tool to applied geophysicists. In this work, two aspects of inductive source induced polarization are examined. First, a new methodology for processing inductive source frequency domain EM data to identify IP effects is presented. The method makes use of the asymptotic behaviour of the secondary magnetic fields at low frequency. A new quantity, referred to as the ISIP datum, is defined so that it equals zero at low frequencies for any frequency-independent (non-chargeable) conductivity distribution. Thus, any non-zero response in the ISIP data indicates the presence of chargeable material. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the method can be applied even in complicated geological situations. A 3D inversion algorithm is developed to recover the chargeability from the ISIP data and the inversion is demonstrated on synthetic examples. Understanding the impacts of IP effects on time-domain electromagnetic data requires the ability to simulate common survey techniques while taking chargeability into account. Most existing techniques preform this modelling in the frequency domain prior to transforming their results to the time domain. Application of those techniques on three dimensional problems can be computationally limiting. In the second part of this thesis, three new techniques for forward modelling the time-domain electromagnetic response of chargeable materials directly in the time domain are developed. The first considers the convolution in the time domain directly, while the others use auxiliary differential equations to analytically transform the governing equations into the time domain. The resulting methods are verified by comparing their results with analytic solutions. The potential application of the method was demonstrated by modelling the occurrence of negative transients in airborne time-domain electromagnetic data.

description: We examine the toroidal oscillations on the slowly rotating relativistic stars in tensor-vector-scalar (TeVeS) theory with the Cowling approximation. As a result, we find that perturbation equations describing the toroidal oscillations are same equation form as in general relativity (GR). Although the frequencies of toroidal oscillations in TeVeS are not so different from those in GR, the momentum inertia depends strongly on the gravitational theory. Thus, observing the frequencies of toroidal oscillations and momentum inertia with high accuracy might reveal the gravitational theory in the strong-field regime.

Photodissociation in proto-planetary nebulae. Hydrodynamical simulations and solutions for low-velocity multi-lobes

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: We explore the effects of photodissociation at the stages of post-asymptotic giant branch stars to find a mechanism able to produce multi-polar shapes. We perform two-dimensional gasdynamical simulations to model the effects of photodissociation in proto-planetary nebulae. We find that post-asymptotic giant branch stars with 7,000 K or hotter are able to photodissociate a large amount of the circumstellar gas. We compute several solutions for nebulae with low-velocity multi-lobes. We find that the early expansion of a dissociation front is crucial to understand the number of lobes in proto-planetary nebulae. A dynamical instability appears when cooling is included in the swept-up molecular shell. This instability is similar to the one found in photoionization fronts, and it is associated with the thin-shell Vishniac instability. The dissociation front exacerbates the growth of the thin-shell instability, creating a fast fragmentation in shells expanding into media with power-law density distributions such as r^-2.

description: We report in the present talk recent results of the tensor properties of the nucleon within the framework of the chiral quark-soliton model. The tensor and anomalous tensor magnetic form factors are calculated for the momentum transfer up to $Q^{2}\leq1\,\mathrm{GeV}^{2}$ and at a renormalization scale of $0.36\,\mathrm{GeV}^{2}$. The main results are summarized as follows: the flavor tensor charges of the nucleon are yielded as $δu=1.08$, $δd=-0.31$, $δs=-0.01$, while the up and down anomalous tensor magnetic moments are evaluated as $κ_{T}^{u}=3.56$ and $κ_{T}^{d}=1.83$, respectively. The strange anomalous tensor magnetic moment turns out to be $κ_{T}^{s}=0.2\sim -0.2$, compatible with zero. We discuss their physical implications, comparing them in particular with those from the lattice QCD.

Reading with homonymous hemianopia: effects and rehabilitation
Creators: name: Rubino, Cristina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Cerebral damage to the optic radiations or striate cortex causes ‘homonymous hemianopia’, blindness in the contralateral half of the visual field in each eye. In cultures that read left to right, a right hemianopia has a severe effect on reading efficiency, particularly when the central 5° are lost, because most of the information acquired during reading lies in the right parafoveal field. We explored the importance of right hemifield loss in diagnosing pure alexia (Experiments 1, 2). Later, we assessed the feasibility of an online training program for the rehabilitation of hemianopic dyslexia, and the eye-movement changes that might accompany learning (Experiment 3). In the first two experiments, human subjects performed several visual processing tasks, using a simulated hemianopia gaze-contingent display. We found that hemianopia alone can account for some previously reported impairments in pure alexia. Subsequently, we provide diagnostic criterion for using the word-length effect to discriminate between hemainopic dyslexia and pure alexia for various types of central involvement by right hemifield loss. In the final experiment, a pilot rehabilitation study, two patients with hemianopic dyslexia performed a 10-week on-line perceptual learning task to increase reading span, and improve reading efficiency. Following training, benefits were limited to an increase in the size of forward saccades in one patient (patient JW). We conclude that this training approach is feasible, though further studies are needed to establish efficacy.

description: Polysemy, the phenomenon where a single word has multiple meanings, is fundamental to linguistic communication. The meaning of a polysemous word is largely determined by context, including syntactic structures, collocations, and discourse settings. This article explores how context influences the interpretation of polysemous words and discusses its implications in semantics, psycholinguistics, and language learning. Through examples from English and other languages, we illustrate the role of linguistic and extralinguistic context in meaning construction.

description: Bilayer graphene has attracted considerable interest due to the important role played by many-body effects, particularly at low energies. Here we report local compressibility measurements of a suspended graphene bilayer. We find that the energy gaps at filling factors v = 4 do not vanish at low fields, but instead merge into an incompressible region near the charge neutrality point at zero electric and magnetic field. These results indicate the existence of a zero-field ordered state and are consistent with the formation of either an anomalous quantum Hall state or a nematic phase with broken rotational symmetry. At higher fields, we measure the intrinsic energy gaps of broken-symmetry states at v = 0, 1 and 2, and find that they scale linearly with magnetic field, yet another manifestation of the strong Coulomb interactions in bilayer graphene.

description: This study explores the stages of the hero’s journey in Ella by Laura Danielle Laughlin MacDonald using Joseph Campbell’s monomyth theory as well as the role of gender using Judith Butler’s theories on gender and gender performance. The study seeks to determine whether or not a female hero performing predominantly feminine gender roles can successfully complete the stages of a traditionally male-oriented hero’s journey. A literary analysis of Ella proves that the predominantly feminine gender performance of the hero, Ella, in no way interferes with her success as a hero proving that the traditional structure of the hero’s journey is unnecessarily gendered. The only stages not present in Ella are missing due to the structure of the fantasy world or the nature of the quest and not the hero’s gender.

description: Investigate the spatial and spectral evolution of hard X-ray (HXR) emission from flare accelerated electron beams subject to collisional transport and wave-particle interactions in the solar atmosphere. We numerically follow the propagation of a power-law of accelerated electrons in 1D space and time with the response of the background plasma in the form of Langmuir waves using the quasilinear approximation.}{We find that the addition of wave-particle interactions to collisional transport for a transient initially injected electron beam flattens the spectrum of the footpoint source. The coronal source is unchanged and so the difference in the spectral indices between the coronal and footpoint sources is Δγ> 2, which is larger than expected from purely collisional transport. A steady-state beam shows little difference between the two cases, as has been previously found, as a transiently injected electron beam is required to produce significant wave growth, especially at higher velocities. With this transiently injected beam the wave-particle interactions dominate in the corona whereas the collisional losses dominate in the chromosphere. The shape of the spectrum is different with increasing electron beam density in the wave-particle interaction case whereas with purely collisional transport only the normalisation is changed. We also find that the starting height of the source electron beam above the photosphere affects the spectral index of the footpoint when Langmuir wave growth is included. This may account for the differing spectral indices found between double footpoints if asymmetrical injection has occurred in the flaring loop.

description: We investigate the evolution of coronal loop emission in the context of the coronal magnetic field topology. New modeling techniques allow us to investigate the magnetic field structure and energy release in active regions. Using these models and high resolution multi-wavelength coronal observations from the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) and the X-ray Telescope (XRT) on Hinode, we are able to establish a relationship between the light curves of coronal loops and their associated magnetic topologies for NOAA Active Region 10963. We examine loops that show both transient and steady emission, and we find that loops that show many transient brightenings are located in domains associated with a high number of separators. This topology provides an environment for continual impulsive heating events through magnetic reconnection at the separators. A loop with relatively constant X-ray and EUV emission, on the other hand, is located in domains that are not associated with separators. This result implies that larger-scale magnetic field reconnections are not involved in heating plasma in these regions, and the heating in these loops must come from another mechanism, such as small-scale reconnections (i.e., nanoflares) or wave heating. Additionally, we find that loops that undergo repeated transient brightenings are associated with separators that have enhanced free energy. In contrast, we find one case of an isolated transient brightening that seems to be associated with separators with a smaller free energy.

description: There has been a long history of using fuzzy language equivalence to compare the behavior of fuzzy systems, but the comparison at this level is too coarse. Recently, a finer behavioral measure, bisimulation, has been introduced to fuzzy finite automata. However, the results obtained are applicable only to finite-state systems. In this paper, we consider bisimulation for general fuzzy systems which may be infinite-state or infinite-event, by modeling them as fuzzy transition systems. To help understand and check bisimulation, we characterize it in three ways by enumerating whole transitions, comparing individual transitions, and using a monotonic function. In addition, we address composition operations, subsystems, quotients, and homomorphisms of fuzzy transition systems and discuss their properties connected with bisimulation. The results presented here are useful for comparing the behavior of general fuzzy systems. In particular, this makes it possible to relate an infinite fuzzy system to a finite one, which is easier to analyze, with the same behavior.

description: Report Introduction: Many Golden Delicious apples produced in the Northwest are packed and shipped in cell-pack shipping containers. These containers are used because the cell-pack box, a corrugated fiberboard box with double-face corrugated fiberboard partitions and pads that form individual apple cells, is believed to protect the soft-fleshed, easily bruised Golden Delicious apples better than other containers available. The cells are made to fit apples of different sizes and six different sizes of boxes are used. These containers cost more, require more labor to pack, waste more space in storage and transport vehicles, and cost more to handle than do uniform-size tray-pack boxes (fiberboard boxes with molded trays). The purpose of this study was to find out: (1) How much the cost of marketing Golden Delicious apples could be reduced if they were packed and shipped in tray-pack boxes; and (2) if fruit bruising would be greater or less if the apples were packed in tray-pack instead of cell-pack boxes.

scoping review

description: This is the protocol for a series of scoping reviews that will map the general concept of methods for personalised medicine, to set the basis for the discussion on robustness and reproducibility of personalised medicine development programmes. The final goal is the identification of standards and needs in terms of methodology of data generation, management, analysis and interpretation to improve clinical studies in personalised medicine. For the purpose of this review, four main aspects of the general concept of personalised medicine will be analysed: Methods for stratification and validation cohorts Methods for machine learning applied to stratification Pre-clinical methods for translational development of treatment options and treatments selection Methods for clinical trials in personalised medicine
A Simple Method to Eliminate Shielding Currents Generated when Magnetization is Perpendicular to Superconducting Tapes Wound into Coils

description: Application of an external AC magnetic field parallel to superconducting tapes helps in eliminating the magnetization caused by the shielding current induced in the flat faces of the tapes. This method helps in realizing a magnet system with high-temperature superconducting tapes for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by numerical calculations carried out using the finite-element method and experiments performed using a commercially available superconducting tape. The field uniformity expected for practical applications is estimated to be less than 1 ppm.

description: Boij and Söderberg made a pair of conjectures, which were subsequently proven by Eisenbud and Schreyer and then extended by Boij and Söderberg, about the structure of Betti diagrams of Graded modules. In the theory, a particular family of posets, and their associated order complexes, play an integral role. We explore the structure of this family. In particular, we show the posets are bounded complete lattices and the order complexes are vertex-decomposable, hence Cohen-Macaulay and squarefree glicci.

A conjunctural analysis of Canadian official development assistance
Creators: name: Mahoney, Adam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This thesis examines two recent changes to Canadian official development assistance. First, new pilot projects in international development with Canadian mining companies were announced in 2011. Second, the Canadian International Development Agency and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade were merged to create the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development in 2013. I argue that these changes are new efforts to instrumentalize official development assistance for commercial and foreign policy interests. Canadian international development has always served commercial and foreign policy interests, but the two changes I examine are significant cementations of these interests. The government’s justification for the merger, “policy coherence,” is itself incoherent, and it legitimates the prefigured goal of instrumentalizing official development assistance. The pilot projects are effectively a subsidy for the Canadian mining industry in that government-funded development projects are replacing companies’ corporate social responsibility projects. I provide a conjunctural analysis of these changes in order to elucidate the challenges and opportunities for political change in response to them. I intervene in the key public debates that have surrounded the changes, and I advance a broader strategy for responding to the changes that turns on development ideology. I argue that there is a rupture in development ideology in Canada and that political action should focus on this ideological rupture.

description: We present a combined experimental and computational methodology for the discovery of new materials. Density functional theory (DFT) formation energy calculations allow us to predict the stability of various hypothetical structures. We demonstrate this approach by computationally predicting the Ce-Ir-In ternary phase diagram. We predict previously-unknown compounds CeIr$_4$In and Ce$_2$Ir$_2$In to be stable. Subsequently, we successfully synthesize CeIr$_4$In and characterize it by X-ray diffraction. Magnetization and heat capacity measurements of CeIr$_4$In are reported. The correct prediction and discovery of CeIr$_4$In validates this approach for discovering new materials.

description: We propose a new method to extract hadron interactions above inelastic threshold from the Nambu-Bethe-Salpter amplitude in lattice QCD. We consider the scattering such as $A+B\rightarrow C+D$, where $A,B,C,D$ are names of different 1-particle states. An extension to cases where particle productions occur during scatterings is also discussed.

description: The Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 279 was observed by XMM-Newton in November 2005 in three consecutive orbits, showing significant short-scale variability (average soft band variation in flux ~20%). The source is known to host a two-component warm absorber with distinct ionisation states from a previous Chandra observation. We aim to study the warm absorber in Mrk 279 and investigate any possible response to the short-term variations of the ionising flux, and to assess whether it has varied on a long-term time scale with respect to the Chandra observation. We find no significant changes in the warm absorber on neither short time scales (~2 days) nor at longer time scales (two and a half years), as the variations in the ionic column densities of the most relevant elements are below the 90% confidence level. The variations could still be present but are statistically undetected given the signal-to-noise ratio of the data. Starting from reasonable standard assumptions we estimate the location of the absorbing gas, which is likely to be associated with the putative dusty torus rather than with the Broad Line Region if the outflowing gas is moving at the escape velocity or larger.
