description: Perovskite ferroelectric oxides are usually considered to be brittle materials, however, recent work [Dong et al., Science 366, 475 (2019)] demonstrated the super-elasticity in the freestanding BaTiO3 thin films. This property may originate from the ferroelectric domain evolution during the bending, which is difficult to observe in experiments. Therefore, understanding the relation among the bending deformation, thickness of the films, and the domain dynamics is critical for their potential applications in flexible ferroelectric devices. Here, we reported the dynamics of ferroelectric polarization in the freestanding BaTiO3 ultrathin films in the presence of large bending deformation up to 40° using phase-field simulation. The ferroelectric domain evolution reveals the transition from the flux-closure to a/c domains with "vortex-like" structures, which caused by the increase of out-of-plane ferroelectric polarization. Additionally, by varying the film thickness in the identical bending situation, we found the a/c phase with "vortex-like" structure emerges only as the film thickness reached 12 nm or higher. Results from our investigations provide instructive information for the microstructure evolution of bending ferroelectric perovskite oxide films, which could serve as guide for the future application of ferroelectric films on flexible electronic devices.

description: The physics program in Hall A at Jefferson Lab commenced in the summer of 1997 with a detailed investigation of the 16O(e,e'p) reaction in quasielastic, constant (q,w) kinematics at Q^2 ~ 0.8 (GeV/c)^2, q ~ 1 GeV/c, and w ~ 445 MeV. Use of a self-calibrating, self-normalizing, thin-film waterfall target enabled a systematically rigorous measurement. Differential cross-section data for proton knockout were obtained for 0 < Emiss < 120 MeV and 0 < pmiss < 350 MeV/c. These results have been used to extract the ALT asymmetry and the RL, RT, RLT, and RL+TT effective response functions. Detailed comparisons of the data with Relativistic Distorted-Wave Impulse Approximation, Relativistic Optical-Model Eikonal Approximation, and Relativistic Multiple-Scattering Glauber Approximation calculations are made. The kinematic consistency of the 1p-shell normalization factors extracted from these data with respect to all available 16O(e,e'p) data is examined. The Q2-dependence of the normalization factors is also discussed.

description: Color correction for underwater images has received increasing interests, due to its critical role in facilitating available mature vision algorithms for underwater scenarios. Inspired by the stunning success of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) techniques in many vision tasks, especially the strength in extracting features in multiple scales, we propose a deep multi-scale feature fusion net based on the conditional generative adversarial network (GAN) for underwater image color correction. In our network, multi-scale features are extracted first, followed by augmenting local features on each scale with global features. This design was verified to facilitate more effective and faster network learning, resulting in better performance in both color correction and detail preservation. We conducted extensive experiments and compared with the state-of-the-art approaches quantitatively and qualitatively, showing that our method achieves significant improvements.

title: Groove in Cuban Dance Music: An Analysis of Son and Salsa
Creators: name: Poole, Adrian Ian
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2013

description: The rhythmic feel or 'groove' of Cuban dance music is typically characterised by a dynamic rhythmic energy, drive and sense of forward motion that, for those attuned, has the ability to produce heightened emotional responses and evoke engagement and participation through physical movement and dance. No single work on groove in Cuban dance music considers together the cognitive, cultural, socio-musical and emotional dimensions of the music-making practices and aesthetics that characterise groove production. This study integrates these perspectives into a single theoretical framework with the aim of gaining fresh insights into the nature of groove in two prominent styles of Cuban and Cuban-related dance music: son and salsa. Methodologically, this study blends ethnography and the analysis of timing data extracted from real-world performances to explore the shared cultural knowledge, socio-musical processes, aesthetics and emotional dimensions of groove. Ethnography facilitates the detailed investigation of how performers talk about the music-making practices that characterise aspects of musical culture while the use of timing data, recorded in situ, facilitates the investigation of the real-time nuanced micro-timing relationships that shape effective groove production. The findings of this study paint a picture of groove that is rich, complex and multidimensional, one that is built upon the expressive performances, socio-musical interactions and collectivist attitudes of rhythm section musicians as well as powerful cultural models and intersubjectively shared knowledge. When rhythm section musicians engage in expressive and interactive dialogues and work effectively as a synchronous collective, the resultant groove embodies the dynamic rhythmic, communicative and emotional energies of the individuals that comprise the group. In performance situations, when the groove of the rhythm section spontaneously finds union with the kinaesthetic and emotional energies of dancers and audiences, the cumulative energy possesses the power to inspire, excite, energise, invite participation and unite people in joyous celebration.
The Role of annealed defects on conformational statistics of a selfavoiding semi-flexible polymer chain: Exact Results (I)

description: We study equilibrium statistics of single semi-flexible polymer chain in the presence of defects. The defects are lying along a line in the two and three dimensions and the monomers are interacting with the onsite potential of the defects. A fully directed self-avoiding walk model is used in two and three dimensions to describe thermo-dynamical behaviour of the chain in the presence of m defects. We have found that the number of conformations of the semiflexible polymer chain may be controlled by means of introduction of such defects so that a particular fraction of the chain conformations may be either suppressed or populated as per our requirements for synthesizing the polymer-nanoaggregates. We discuss the role of annealed defects for its Q realizations and m defects analytically, i. e. when the defects are in the thermal equilibrium with the monomers of the semi-flexible chain.

description: The objective of the work is to understand the environmental and social influences that interfere in the purchase of industrialized and in-natura orange juice. The theoretical basis contemplates the stimulus for purchases that directly interfere in the process, delimiting three factors of influence: marketing, social and situational. The research is of applied and descriptive nature, classified as quantitative with data collection structured with the application of a questionnaire composed of 65 items concerning sociodemographic (six) and consumer behavior information (59). This research was conducted in the Federal District (FD), Brazil A total of 480 questionnaires were analyzed through exploratory factor analysis. The analysis shows that only 48 items were necessary and that there is a relationship between the factors of grouping and the influence of consumption, proving the projected theoretical model. The marketing influence factor presented a relevant correlation for strategies used to stimulate consumption. The social influence factor validated that the presence of stamps of social and environmental responsibility and quality are relevant to the sample. The factor of situational influence included the experience variables of purchase related to the interaction with variables of the store environment. It is evaluated that this research contributes empirically by bringing an initial determination of what factors stimulated the consumption of orange juice in the FD and are more significant for the consumer of this region; and theoretically, since it allowed, from a theoretical construct (consumer behavior) with evidence of the main chosen factors, to create and refine a set of variables.

description: This paper attempts to examine the application of politeness strategies during interpersonal conversations in English between lawyers and clients in the context of their formal and social interactional roles as participants in selected law firms using Calabar in Cross River State as a case study. Collection of data used for this study was through observation, audio-tape recording and note?taking. The theoretical framework adopted for this study is Brown and Levinson's Politeness Theory. The theory is relevant as it is relied upon for the assessment of politeness schemes applied in the interactional encounters of the interlocutors which form the basis for the analysis. The findings reveal that the participants apply different strategies depending on the situationally-conditioned factors and social roles. Specifically, lawyers were observed to have predominantly used negative politeness strategies such as formal speech style, ambiguous expressions and other face threatening acts to highlight, control and inflate the social distance and roles. Also, the clients often apply positive face because they recognise the need for truth and are conscious of giving quality information to solve their problems, and stimulate empathy and help. The linguistic patterns do not always reduce the quality and intention of the communication exchanges of the interlocutors. However, differences in professions, cross-cultural and contextual beliefs in communication needs are believed to account for the differences (which could be accidental or deliberate) in the communicative activities of interactats of different experiences.

description: Multistage models based on relativistic viscous hydrodynamics have proven successful in describing hadron measurements from relativistic nuclear collisions. These measurements are sensitive to the shear and the bulk viscosities of QCD and provide a unique opportunity to constrain these transport coefficients. Bayesian analyses can be used to obtain systematic constraints on the viscosities of QCD, through methodical model-to-data comparisons. In this manuscript, we discuss recent developments in Bayesian analyses of heavy ion collision data. We highlight the essential role of closure tests in validating a Bayesian analysis before comparison with measurements. We discuss the role of the emulator that is used as proxy for the multistage theoretical model. We use an ongoing Bayesian analysis of soft hadron measurements by the JETSCAPE Collaboration as context for the discussion.

description: We demonstrate the control of the dispersion of matter wave packets utilizing periodic potentials. This is analogous to the technique of dispersion management known in photon optics. Matter wave packets are realized by Bose-Einstein condensates of 87Rb in an optical dipole potential acting as a one-dimensional waveguide. A weak optical lattice is used to control the dispersion relation of the matter waves during the propagation of the wave packets. The dynamics are observed in position space and interpreted using the concept of effective mass. By switching from positive to negative effective mass, the dynamics can be reversed. The breakdown of the approximation of constant, as well as experimental signatures of an infinite effective mass are studied.

description: The purpose of cognitive interviewing is to systematically identify and analyze sources of response error in surveys, and to use that information to improve the quality and accuracy of survey instruments. This paper describes the cognitive interviews undertaken in Bangladesh and Uganda in 2014 as part of the second round of pilots intended to refine the original version of the Women’s Empowerment in Agricultural Index (WEAI). The WEAI is a survey-based tool that assesses gendered empowerment in agriculture. Baseline data were collected in 19 countries, but implementers reported some problems, such as confusion among both respondents and enumerators regarding the meaning of abstract concepts in the autonomy sub-module and difficulties recalling the sequence and duration of activities in the time-use sub-module. The results revealed potential problems with the survey questions and informed the revision of the WEAI, called the Abbreviated WEAI (or A-WEAI), which has less potential for response errors.

The result of the cost and return analysis showed that palm oil processing was highly profitable in the study area and male processors had higher revenue (₦92,842,000) than the female processors (₦47,590,570). The result showed that there was a significant difference in the profit between male and female processors at one percent probability level. The study also observed factors such as processing techniques for male and income, fixed and variable costs for female processors exerts influences on processors profitability. The study recommended that women should be given the necessary assistance and barriers that create unequal opportunities for both men and women should be removed to enhance efficiency in processing and other related activities by the relevant government agencies.

description: We analyze response of a macromolecule near to a substrate; the substrate is tiled in the sequential and specific manner so that repeat units of the macromolecule may have different response on its adsorption in different directions onto the substrate. The lattice model of random walk has been used to analyze the adsorption-desorption behavior of an infinitely long homo-polymer molecule on a sequentially tiled substrate in three dimensions. The lattice model for the Gaussian chain and directed self-avoiding chain has been solved analytically. It has been emphasized on the basis of analytical estimates that a suitable coating may modify affinity of the macromolecule on the living surfaces and on the non living substrates in the complex manner which may be suitable means to control growth and also a route to restrict the spread of the deadly microbes.

Direct observation of the effective bending moduli of a fluid membrane: Free-energy cost due to the reference-plane deformations

description: Effective bending moduli of a fluid membrane are investigated by means of the transfer-matrix method developed in our preceding paper. This method allows us to survey various statistical measures for the partition sum. The role of the statistical measures is arousing much attention, since Pinnow and Helfrich claimed that under a suitable statistical measure, that is, the local mean curvature, the fluid membranes are stiffened, rather than softened, by thermal undulations. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to observe the effective bending moduli directly: We subjected a fluid membrane to a curved reference plane, and from the free-energy cost due to the reference-plane deformations, we read off the effective bending moduli. Accepting the mean-curvature measure, we found that the effective bending rigidity gains even in the case of very flexible membrane (small bare rigidity); it has been rather controversial that for such non-perturbative regime, the analytical prediction does apply. We also incorporate the Gaussian-curvature modulus, and calculated its effective rigidity. Thereby, we found that the effective Gaussian-curvature modulus stays almost scale-invariant. All these features are contrasted with the results under the normal-displacement measure.

description: The near-threshold photo-productions of heavy quarkonia are important ways to test the QCD-inspired models and to constrain the gluon distribution of nucleon in the large x region. Investigating the various models, we choose a photon-gluon fusion model and a pomeron exchange model for J/$Ψ$ photo-production near threshold, emphasising on the explanation of the recent experimental measurement by GlueX at JLab. We find that these two models are not only valid in a wide range of the center-of-mass energy of $γ$ and proton, but also can be generalized to describe the $Υ$(1S) photo-production. Using these two models, we predict the electro-production cross-sections of $Υ$(1S) at EicC to be 48 fb to 85 fb at the center-of-mass energy of 16.75 GeV.

description: In this study, we estimate increases in producer revenue from the genetic gains of the rice breeding program at the University of Arkansas (UofA) Division of Agriculture from 1983 – 2016. Rice producers are paid based on both the quantity of rice and the quality of rice. Therefore, we implement a cluster specific fixed-effects model based on location and year to identify the contributions of the UofA breeding program for both paddy yields (quantity) and head rice yields (quality attribute) over time. Including spillover benefits from all UofA varieties, we find that on average US rice producers gain 30.9 million USD annually from the adoption of UofA rice varieties.

description: The thermal relic density of the wino-like neutralino dark matter in the brane world cosmology is studied. The expansion law at a high energy regime in the brane world cosmology is modified from the one in the standard cosmology, and the resultant relic density can be enhanced if the five dimensional Planck mass $M_5$ is low enough. We calculate the wino-like neutralino relic density in the anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking scenario and show that the allowed region is dramatically modified from the one in the standard cosmology and the wino-like neutralino with mass of order 100 GeV can be a good candidate for the dark matter. Since the allowed region disappears eventually as $M_5$ is decreasing, we can find a lower bound on $M_5 \gtrsim 100$ TeV according to the neutralino dark matter hypothesis, namely the lower bound in order for the allowed region of the neutralino dark matter to exist.

We analyze the completeness of privacy policies, determine what categories and items should be covered in a complete privacy policy, and conduct APPG assessment with boilerplate apps. The results of assessment show that due to the lack of static or dynamic analysis of app's behavior, developers may encounter two types of issues caused by APPGs. First, the generated policies could be incomplete because they do not cover all the essential items required by a privacy policy. Second, some generated privacy policies contain unnecessary personal information collection or arbitrary commitments inconsistent with user input. Ultimately, the defects of APPGs may potentially lead to serious legal issues. We hope that the results and insights developed in this paper can motivate the healthy and ethical development of APPGs towards generating a more complete, accurate, and robust privacy policy.

title: Foraging behaviour of king penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) in relation to oceanography at South Georgia and Kerguelen

description: Understanding the levels of variability in oceanographic features where marine predators forage is critical for understanding variability in an animal's foraging behaviour and reproductive success, and for assessing their potential reactions to environmental change. In this thesis, I examine the foraging behaviour of king penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) in relation to oceanographic features in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. I used ARGOS and Global Positioning System tracking data combined with Time-Depth-Temperature-Recorder data to follow the at-sea movements for penguins breeding at South Georgia and Kerguelen. Combining penguin behaviour with oceanographic data at the surface and at depth allowed me to explore how animals adjust their horizontal and vertical movements in response to their environment. In this context I investigated how horizontal habitat use may relate to different Antarctic Circumpolar Current frontal zones, and how hydrological structures at depth may impact diving behaviour. At both study locations, the Polar Front (PF) and cold-water features of southern origin were key features used during foraging. The importance of local habitat was reflected in their use of mesoscale eddies at South Georgia, and bathymetry-related upwelling at Kerguelen. The main features used at depth, during prey pursuit, were the thermocline and Winter Water. Penguins also explored Circumpolar Deep Water, which appears to represent an important foraging niche for birds when under increased breeding or environmental constraints. Variability in the PF and in cold-water features in the foraging area significantly affected penguin behaviour. For example, penguins showed altered behavioural responses and low reproductive success following shifts in key oceanographic features during one breeding season. My study of king penguin foraging behaviour in two sectors of the Southern Ocean has generated these key insights into foraging relationships with oceanography, and into penguin's adaptive capacities to environmental variability. This is of importance for assessing possible reactions of king penguins towards environmental change.

description: UBC Food Services and the Alma Matter Society (AMS) are interested in the costs and benefits of developing a sustainable food system, and whether the public will support these changes. It is of interest to identify UBC consumer perceptions of the price of food on campus, the economic costs and benefits of pursuing more sustainable food practices at Food Services, and potential consumer support for these changes, which may manifest themselves in price changes. In preparing our recommendations, our value assumptions of weak anthropocentrism, ecocentrism, as well as a community-oriented view has guided our approach. We have chosen group 14’s model as our framework and built on their existing vision. The stakeholders that will be affected by the information we provided are: consumers at UBC, retail employees of UBC food service outlets, food vendors off campus, food distributors, and both local and global farm producers. Our ecological indicator is the availability of local foods. Co-operation with food distribution companies to trace products that are in high demand on campus is necessary. Comparison to a list of BC food products that are produced in high quantity will determine if local foods are being used adequately. Our economic indicator is the affordability of nutritious food for individuals living on campus. Affordability will be measured using the Healthy Food Basket. Our social indicators consist of consumers’ perceptions of current food prices at UBC, knowledge about sustainability and food practices on campus, and opportunity for participation in food practices, such as the UBC farm. The consumers’ perceptions can be measured using surveys and focus groups. Our recommendations include educating the UBC community on sustainability and the food system and collaborating with UBC food distributors to gain reliable information.

title: 520,000 years of environmental change in West Africa

description: Global temperatures are predicted to rise by 2-2.5°C by 2065, profoundly affecting the Earth's environment. The response of ecosystems to past climate fluctuations can inform on how systems will respond in the future. This thesis focuses on Quaternary environmental changes in West Africa, a region important because of its high ecological value and role in the global carbon cycle. In 2004, the International Continental Drilling Program recovered c. 291 m of sediments spanning the last c. 1 Myr from Lake Bosumtwi (Ghana). Pollen, charcoal and nitrogen isotopes (ᵟ15N) were analysed from the most recent c. 150m (c. 520 kyr). The latitudinal position and long duration of this core makes it unique for understanding West African monsoon dynamics and vegetation change. To aid characterisation of the Bosumtwi pollen succession, an atlas of present-day pollen was constructed for 364 pollen and spore taxa. The pollen record from Bosumtwi reveals dynamic vegetation change over the last c. 520 kyr, characterized by eleven biome shifts between savannah and forest. Savannah vegetation is dominated by Poaceae (>55%) associated with Cyperaceae, Chenopodiaceae-Amaranthaceae and Caryophyllaceae. Forest vegetation is palynologically diverse, but broadly characterised by Moraceae, Celtis, Uapaca, Macaranga and Trema. Low ᵟ15N values correspond to forest expansion and these are driven by high lake levels. The timescale indicates that the six periods of forest expansion correspond to global interglacial periods. The record indicates that the wettest climate occurred during the Holocene, and the driest during Marine Isotope Stage 7. The vegetation and ᵟ15N records show a strong response to glacial-interglacial variability between 520- 320 kyr and 130- 0 kyr. Between 320- 130 kyr there is a weaker response to glacial-interglacial cycles probably related to high eccentricity during the peak of the 400-kyr component of eccentricity, with high eccentricity resulting in greater seasonality and ultimately drier conditions.

description: Ecological divergence is a fundamental source of phenotypic diversity between closely related species, yet the genetic architecture of most ecologically relevant traits is poorly understood. Differences in elevation can impose substantial divergent selection on both complex, correlated suites of traits (such as life history), as well as novel adaptations. We use the Mimulus guttatus species complex to assess if the divergence in elevation is accompanied by trait divergence in a group of closely related perennials and determine the genetic architecture of this divergence. We find that divergence in elevation is associated with differences in life history, as well as a unique trait, the production of rhizomes. The divergence between two perennials is largely explained by few mid-to-large effect quantitative trait loci (QTLs). However, the presence of QTLs with correlated, but opposing effects on multiple traits leads to some hybrids with transgressive trait combinations. Lastly, we find that the genetic architecture of the ability to produce rhizomes changes through development, wherein most hybrids produce rhizomes, but only later in development. Our results suggest that elevational differences may shape life-history divergence between perennials, but aspects of the genetic architecture of divergence may have implications for hybrid fitness in nature.

description: Predicting financial market movements in today’s fast-paced and complex environment is challenging more than ever. For many investors, online resources are a major source of information. Researchers can use Google Trends to access the number of search queries of a particular topic by internet users. The search volume index provided by Google then can be used as a proxy for importance of that topic. To predict the collective response to a particular news, we can use the search index for relevant search terms in our forecasting model. The focus of our study is forecasting food stock movement. A unique feature of the food industry is that besides common fundamental information, stakeholders are responsive to food safety news. In this study, we test whether including relevant search terms would reduce the forecasting error and improve the predictive power of traditional models. We use the market data and Google Trends index for 46 listed food companies. The empirical results show that on average the use of search terms reduces forecasting error by 2 to 31 percent for predicting trading volume, and reduces forecasting error by 3.5 to 77 percent for predicting the closing price, depending on the company. We also applied a model confidence set (MCS) to create a set of specifications that have statistically least forecasting error. The average forecasting error of the models in the set is lower than all models with search terms which implies that the MCS approach is efficient in identifying models with best predictive power.
