description: Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the interconnection of physical objects via the Internet. It utilises complex back-end systems which need different capabilities depending on the requirements of the system. IoT has already been used in various applications, such as agriculture, smart home, health, automobiles, and smart grids. There are many IoT platforms, each of them capable of providing specific services for such applications. Finding the best match between application and platform is, however, a hard task as it can difficult to understand the implications of small differences between platforms. This paper builds on previous work that has identified twenty-one important factors of an IoT platform, which were verified by Delphi method. We demonstrate here how these factors can be used to discriminate between five well known IoT platforms, which are arbitrarily chosen based on their market share. These results illustrate how the proposed approach provides an objective methodology that can be used to select the most suitable IoT platform for different business applications based on their particular requirements.

title: Place of Living as a Social Identity: The Rural-Suburban-Urban Divide in Political Support

Publisher: name: Universität Bern

Subjects: subject: 320 Political science

description: The goal of this thesis is to investigate the Swiss and European rural-suburban-urban divide in political support through the lens of social identity theory. While earlier research on the places of living is mainly focused on its relationship with specific political events and policy attitudes, I move beyond the investigation of these concrete issues and analyse the rural-suburban-urban divide with regard to political support in general. I link the two concepts relying on social identity theory, thus bringing in a new theoretical viewpoint on place of living. In my dissertation, I show that place of living indeed forms a social identity and that elements of this social identity contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the rural-suburban-urban divide in political support. My three articles hence contribute to current literature in a number of ways: First, I present the first comprehensive theoretical model interpreting place of living in light of social identity theory. Second, relying on a novel data set, I am able to implement this model empirically using original items that operationalize place of living as a social identity. Third, I am able to investigate several measures of political support, thus taking into account its conceptual variety. Lastly, I specifically focus on the suburbs—a very relevant but often forgotten third group when discussing place of living. My analyses reveal that there exists a small rural-suburban-urban divide in political support, which is shaped by place-based identity and can to a large portion be explained through place-based resentment. In sum, this dissertation enhances our understanding of place of living by discussing it as a social identity, while simultaneously enriching our knowledge about the roots of political support.

description: A three-period overlapping-generations model is developed to investigate the impact on human capital investment decisions and income growth of lowered life expectancy as a result of diseases such as HIV/AIDS. We show that an increased probability of premature death leads to less investment in human capital, and consequently slower growth. We also empirically investigate the effect of HIV/AIDS on life expectancy in Sub-Saharan Africa and the role of health in the level of educational investments and growth for a broader set of countries. The empirical results show that HIV/AIDS has resulted in a substantial decline in life expectancy in African countries and falling life expectancies are indeed associated with lower educational attainment and slower economic growth world wide.

description: The increasing presence of generative AI in research presents both opportunities and challenges for qualitative data analysis. While generative AI tools such as ChatGPT can assist with pattern recognition, text classification, and summarisation, their role in in-depth, interpretive qualitative analysis remains underexplored. This paper examines the integration of ChatGPT as an active collaborator in qualitative data analysis, using a researcher-participant-ChatGPT triad to explore its potential in meaning-making and participatory research. Our findings showcase that ChatGPT can streamline initial coding, enhance researcher reflexivity, and serve as a catalyst for intellectual discovery, yet its effectiveness is contingent on human oversight and well-crafted prompt design. The study also highlights the triadic model as a new approach to participatory research, where generative AI-generated insights empower participants, decentralise researcher authority, and promote inclusive knowledge construction.

description: After being launched, GRB jets propagate through dense media prior to their breakout. The jet-medium interaction results in the formation of a complex structured outflow, often referred to as a "structured jet". The underlying physics of the jet-medium interaction that sets the post-breakout jet morphology has never been explored systematically. Here we use a suite of 3D simulations to follow the evolution of hydrodynamic long and short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) jets after breakout to study the post-breakout structure induced by the interaction. Our simulations feature Rayleigh-Taylor fingers that grow from the cocoon into the jet, mix cocoon with jet material and destabilize the jet. The mixing gives rise to a previously unidentified region sheathing the jet from the cocoon, which we denote the jet-cocoon interface (JCI). long GRBs undergo strong mixing, resulting in most of the jet energy to drift into the JCI, while in short GRBs weaker mixing is possible, leading to a comparable amount of energy in the two components. Remarkably, the jet structure (jet-core plus JCI) can be characterized by simple universal angular power-law distributions, with power-law indices that depend solely on the mixing level. This result supports the commonly used power-law angular distribution, and disfavors Gaussian jets. At larger angles, where the cocoon dominates, the structure is more complex. The mixing shapes the prompt emission light curve and implies that typical long GRB afterglows are different from those of short GRBs. Our predictions can be used to infer jet characteristics from prompt and afterglow observations.

"Daughters of the chaos" : an exploration of courses of women’s lawbreaking action
Creators: name: Frizzell, Erin T.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: I began my inquiry into women's lawbreaking from a disquiet between what I "knew" from academic feminist accounts and what I "saw" as a worker. My understanding of women's lawbreaking came from a distorted representation of women lawbreakers as victims produced by academic feminist scholarship. This distorted representation came from a feminist practice of emphasizing women's victimhood as an explanatory framework. As a result, women have been rendered 'victims' - a representation that relies on women's object, rather than subject, status. Further, this distorted 'victim' representation fails to examine the way women can, and do, negotiate 'structures' to shape their own lives. As a result of my disquiet, I began to ask what is it about victimization that contributes to women's lawbreaking? I adapted Dorothy Smith's method of inquiry to develop a method which includes women's agency and yet retains feminist insights into economic and cultural gender inequities. This method allows one to understand agency in the context of victimization and its entanglement with lawbreaking by understanding the dialectic nature of social interaction. This dialectic understanding of action is important because we can examine not only what things come into view as structural or institutional processes, but also see more clearly the undercurrent of resistance and survival so relevant to feminism. Further, this method looks at women's lawbreaking differently - it captures women's agency as a counter-discourse to existing feminist discourses of victimization. A small research study was conducted for this thesis. Nine women were interviewed about their lives growing up and their experiences with lawbreaking. From this data, three areas were explored: "invalidation", "addiction" and "negotiation". The analysis of these themes explores, and then maps out, courses of women's lawbreaking action and how those courses are coordinated by the ruling relations. This project aims to contribute to feminist scholarship on women's courses of lawbreaking action by offering Smith's method of inquiry as a way to capture both women's agency and how that is coordinated by the organizational and social relations of ruling.

description: We propose a goal-oriented mesh-adaptive algorithm for a finite element method stabilized via residual minimization on dual discontinuous-Galerkin norms. By solving a saddle-point problem, this residual minimization delivers a stable continuous approximation to the solution on each mesh instance and a residual projection onto a broken polynomial space, which is a robust error estimator to minimize the discrete energy norm via automatic mesh refinement. In this work, we propose and analyze a goal-oriented adaptive algorithm for this stable residual minimization. We solve the primal and adjoint problems considering the same saddle-point formulation and different right-hand sides. By solving a third stable problem, we obtain two efficient error estimates to guide goal-oriented adaptivity. We illustrate the performance of this goal-oriented adaptive strategy on advection-diffusion-reaction problems.

description: We study entanglement dynamics in dispersive optomechanical systems consisting of two optical modes and a mechanical oscillator inside an optical cavity. The two optical modes interact with the mechanical oscillator, but not directly with each other. The appearance of optical entanglement witnesses non-classicality of the oscillator. We study the dependence of the entanglement dynamics with the optomechanical coupling, the mean photon number in the cavity and the oscillator temperature. An experimental realization with ultracold atomic ensembles is proposed.

description: We investigate conformations and dynamics of a polymer considering its monomers to be active Brownian particles. This active polymer shows very intriguing physical behavior which is absent in an active Rouse chain. The chain initially shrinks with active force, which starts swelling on further increase in force. The shrinkage followed by swelling is attributed purely to excluded-volume interactions among the monomers. In the swelling regime, chain shows a cross-over from the self-avoiding behavior to Rouse-behavior with scaling exponent $ν_a \simeq 1/2$ for end-to-end distance. The non-monotonicity in the structure is analysed through various physical quantities specifically, radial distribution function of monomers, scattering time, as well as various energy calculations. The chain relaxes faster than the Rouse chain in the intermediate force regime, with a cross-over in variation of relaxation time at large active force as given by a power-law $τ_r \sim Pe^{-4/3}$ (P e is Péclet number).

description: Charge transport is well understood in both highly ordered materials (band conduction) or highly disordered ones (hopping conduction). In moderately disordered materials -- including many organic semiconductors -- the approximations valid in either extreme break down, making it difficult to accurately model the conduction. In particular, describing wavefunction delocalisation requires a quantum treatment, which is difficult in disordered materials that lack periodicity. Here, we present the first three-dimensional model of partially delocalised charge and exciton transport in materials in the intermediate disorder regime. Our approach is based on polaron-transformed Redfield theory, but overcomes several computational roadblocks by mapping the quantum-mechanical techniques onto kinetic Monte Carlo. Our theory, delocalised kinetic Monte Carlo (dKMC), shows that the fundamental physics of transport in moderately disordered materials is that of charges hopping between partially delocalised electronic states. Our results reveal why standard kinetic Monte Carlo can dramatically underestimate mobilities even in disordered organic semiconductors, where even a little delocalisation can substantially enhance mobilities, as well as showing that three-dimensional calculations capture important delocalisation effects neglected in lower-dimensional approximations.

description: We present a simple protocol to purify a coherent-state superposition that has undergone a linear lossy channel. The scheme constitutes only a single beam splitter and a homodyne detector, and thus is experimentally feasible. In practice, a superposition of coherent states is transformed into a classical mixture of coherent states by linear loss, which is usually the dominant decoherence mechanism in optical systems. We also address the possibility of producing a larger amplitude superposition state from decohered states, and show that in most cases the decoherence of the states are amplified along with the amplitude.

description: Environmental changes in Pleistocene and the breeding of primitive agriculture in late Paleolithic Age are discussed. Natural environment in China has changed significantly since the Quaternary Period. Under the cold climatic conditions at late Pleistocene, most parts of northern China were not suitable for the growth of millet and other crops preferring warm surroundings. But some microlithic remains in warm zones of southeastern edge of northern China have entered the stage of gathering agriculture, which might become a part of agricultural original zones of millet agriculture. Environmental change and the emergence of dry farming in northern China at early Holocene are analyzed. Early Holocene (about 12 – 8 kaBP) is an unstable heating period. Millet production may be first conducted in the southeast valley of the Loess Plateau, hillside and tableland, valley terraces in Qinling Mountain, mountains in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, valley and tableland in southern hills of Shandong Province. At the end of early Holocene or middle Holocene, natural conditions has changed in sandy loess zone from eastern Qinghai along the line of mid-eastern Gansu, Ningxia, northern Shaanxi, mid-northern Shanxi, northern Hebei, mid-eastern Inner Mongolia, and mid-western Liaoning, which might be the most important origin of broomcorn millet agriculture.

description: The automatic detection of events in sport videos has im-portant applications for data analytics, as well as for broadcasting andmedia companies. This paper presents a comprehensive approach for de-tecting a wide range of complex events in soccer videos starting frompositional data. The event detector is designed as a two-tier system thatdetectsatomicandcomplex events. Atomic events are detected basedon temporal and logical combinations of the detected objects, their rel-ative distances, as well as spatio-temporal features such as velocity andacceleration. Complex events are defined as temporal and logical com-binations of atomic and complex events, and are expressed by meansof a declarative Interval Temporal Logic (ITL). The effectiveness of theproposed approach is demonstrated over 16 different events, includingcomplex situations such as tackles and filtering passes. By formalizingevents based on principled ITL, it is possible to easily perform reason-ing tasks, such as understanding which passes or crosses result in a goalbeing scored. To counterbalance the lack of suitable, annotated publicdatasets, we built on an open source soccer simulation engine to re-lease the synthetic SoccER (Soccer Event Recognition) dataset, whichincludes complete positional data and annotations for more than 1.6 mil-lion atomic events and 9,000 complex events.

description: We calculate an extensive set of characteristics for Internet AS topologies extracted from the three data sources most frequently used by the research community: traceroutes, BGP, and WHOIS. We discover that traceroute and BGP topologies are similar to one another but differ substantially from the WHOIS topology. Among the widely considered metrics, we find that the joint degree distribution appears to fundamentally characterize Internet AS topologies as well as narrowly define values for other important metrics. We discuss the interplay between the specifics of the three data collection mechanisms and the resulting topology views. In particular, we show how the data collection peculiarities explain differences in the resulting joint degree distributions of the respective topologies. Finally, we release to the community the input topology datasets, along with the scripts and output of our calculations. This supplement should enable researchers to validate their models against real data and to make more informed selection of topology data sources for their specific needs.

description: Wind tunnel experiments were carried out on four urban morphologies: two tall canopies with uniform-height and two super-tall canopies with a large variation in element heights (where the maximum element height is more than double the average canopy height, $h_{max}$=2.5 $h_{avg}$). {The average canopy height and packing density were fixed across the surfaces to $h_{avg} = 80$ mm, and $λ_{p} = 0.44$, respectively.} A combination of laser doppler anemometry and direct drag measurements were used to calculate and scale the mean velocity profiles {within the boundary layer depth, $δ$}. In the uniform-height experiment, the high packing density resulted in a `skimming flow' regime with very little flow penetration into the canopy. This led to a surprisingly shallow roughness sublayer ($z\approx1.15h_{avg}$), and a well-defined inertial sublayer above it. {In the heterogeneous-height canopies, despite the same packing density and average height, the flow features were significantly different.} {The height heterogeneity enhanced mixing thus encouraging deep flow penetration into the canopy. A deeper roughness sublayer was found to exist and extend up to just above the tallest element height (corresponding to $z/h_{avg} = 2.85$)}, which was found to be the dominant lengthscale controlling the flow behaviour. {Results points toward the existence of an inertial sublayer for all surfaces considered herein despite the severity of the surface roughness ($δ/h_{avg} = 3 - 6.25$)}. This contrasts with previous literature.

description: Throughout the recent COVID-19 pandemic when government officials around the world ordered citizens to quarantine inside their homes, real-time measurements about the use of roads, hospitals, grocery stores, and other public infrastructure became vital to accurately forecast viral infection rates and inform future government decisions. Although mobile phone locations provide some information about community-level activity, dense distributed geophysical sensing of ground motions across a city are more complete and also natively anonymous. In this paper, we demonstrate how fiber-optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) connected to a telecommunication cable beneath Palo Alto, CA captured seismic and geodetic signals produced by vehicles during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and subsequent quarantine. We utilize DAS strain measurements of roadbed deformation caused by local cars and trucks in an automatic template matching detection algorithm to count the number of vehicles traveling per day over a two-month period around the timing of the San Francisco Bay Area shelter-in-place order. Using a segment of the optical fiber near a major grocery store on Sand Hill Road we find a 50% decrease in vehicle count immediately following the order, but data from near Stanford Hospital showed a far more subtle change due to on-going hospital activities. We compare the information derived from DAS measurements to other quarantine response metrics and find a strong correlation with the relative changes reported by Google and Apple using mobile phone data.

description: The first-order superconducting fluctuation corrections to the thermal conductivity of a granular metal are calculated. A suppression of thermal conductivity proportional to $T_c/(T-T_c)$ is observed in a region not too close to the critical temperature $T_c$. As $T\simeq T_c$, a saturation of the correction is found, and its sign depends on the ratio between the barrier transparency and the critical temperature. In both regimes, the Wiedemann-Franz law is violated.

The effect of cimetidine on dextromethorphan O-demethylase activity of human liver microsomes and recombinant CYP2D6
Creators: name: Madeira, Maria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Cimetidine is a liistamine H₂-receptor antagonist used in the treatment of peptic ulcer disorders. There have been numerous clinical observations of cimetidine drug-drug interactions, in some cases involving known substrates of cytochrome P450 (P450) 2D6. One explanation for these observations is impaired hepatic metabolism via inhibition o f P450s, the primary mediators of hepatic phase I metabolism of drugs. Cimetidine has been demonstrated to inhibit various P450 enzymes in vitro, including CYP2D6, but the inhibition constants are generally higher than the plasma concentrations measured following in vivo administration. In rats, the in vitro selectivity and potency of cimetidine can be increased by preincubating the inhibitor and NAPDH with hepatic microsomes, and the formation of a metabolite-intermediate complex has been implicated. The effect of preincubation on inhibition of CYP2D6 by cimetidine has not been investigated. The objective of this project was to further characterize the effect of cimetidine on CYP2D6 in vitro using human liver microsomes and recombinant CYP2D6. Dextromethorphan O-demethylase activity was used as a probe of CYP2D6 activity. Metabolite formation was quantified using a high performance liquid chromatography assay with fluorescence detection. The V[sub max] and K[sub m] of this reaction were 0.82+0.06 nmol/min/nmol P450 and 4.1 ±0.1 μM, respectively, in microsomes; and 15.9±0.8 nmol/min/nmol P450 and 1.4±0.6 μM, respectively, with recombinant CYP2D6. With human liver microsomes, cimetidine was a competitive inhibitor of CYP2D6 with a K, of 38.0±5.3 μM; the observed inhibition was not effected by preincubation. With the recombinant enzyme, cimetidine acted as a mixed inhibitor with a K[sub i] of 102.5±16.8 μM. Preincubation with the inhibitor and NADPH led to a further decrease in activity of 11% to 18% in a manner that was consistent with mechanism-based inactivation. The effect of preincubation was attenuated by including quinidine in the preincubation reaction. The k[sub inact] and K[sub I] were estimated to be 0.03 min⁻¹ and 19.2 μM, respectively, while the t [sub ½] of inactivation was 25 minutes. In the present study, cimetidine acted as an inhibitor of dextromethorphan O-demethylation in both in vitro systems. With recombinant CYP2D6, loss of activity was enhanced with preincubation. In both cases, the effect of cimetidine as an inhibitor of CYP2D6 was modest and does not fully explain the clinical findings.
Semi-Classical Backreaction on Asymptotically Anti-de Sitter Black Holes

description: We consider a quantum scalar field on the classical background of an asymptotically anti-de Sitter black hole and the backreaction the field's stress-energy tensor induces on the black hole geometry. The backreaction is computed by solving the reduced-order semi-classical Einstein field equations sourced by simple analytical approximations for the renormalized expectation value of the scalar field stress-energy tensor. When the field is massless and conformally coupled, we adopt Page's approximation to the renormalised stress energy tensor while for massive fields, we adopt a modified version of the DeWitt-Schwinger approximation. The latter approximation must be modified so that it possesses the correct renormalization freedom required to ensure the semi-classical equations are consistent. Equipped with these approximations, the reduced-order field equations are easily integrated and the first-order (in $\hbar$) corrections to the metric are obtained. We also compute the corrections to the black hole event horizon, surface gravity and minimum temperature as well as corrections to the photon sphere and quadratic curvature invariants. We pay particular attention to the temperature profiles of the semi-classical black holes compared with their classical counterparts, pointing out some interesting qualitative features produced by the backreaction. These results ought to provide reasonable approximations to the first-order (one-loop) quantum backreaction on the geometry of asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes when the exact numerical stress-energy tensor sources the semi-classical equations.

description: Land reform development in China has experienced three great reforms, and new policy of rural land circulation in new period was an inevitable trend of rural economic development. SWOT analytical method was adopted to study the influences of the new policy on rural tourism development, which led to new opportunities, including developing rural tourism in scale and realizing capitalization of the resources. However, there were many problems and challenges, which were showed in neglecting the guarantee of farmers’ interests and lacking the protection of rural landscape. Hence, the measures for rural tourism development under new situations should be taken as follows. To begin with, it should give full play to government function; secondly, it must strengthen management of rural tourism land; thirdly, overall planning was essential; fourthly, it was necessary to protect farmers’ interests; finally, efforts should be devoted to protect and reconstruct rural tourism landscape. These measures could not only promote the industrialization development of rural tourism, but also advance the development of urban-rural integration.

description: Since the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged Indonesia, many establishments have been forced to move their operations online. One of the most prominent examples are universities and educational institutions, who have adapted by adapting their curriculum to be accessible online. As a result of online learning that is a brand-new program, the transition from normal face-to-face classes to online classes that utilize video conference software has not been smooth. Problems such as the lack of infrastructure in online learning, the steep learning curve in using software, and distractions in the process of learning from home are just the tip of the iceberg. This research article aims to analyse the views of the students of Institut Teknologi Bandung on the online teaching and studying process. Data collection was done by using a survey that was distributed online to students of ITB as the subjects of this research. After relevant methods of evaluation, we conclude that online learning has a correlation with stress in university students, but has advantages compared to offline learning, for example in the resources available to students online.
Two qualitatively different superconducting phases under high pressure in single-crystalline CeNiGe$_{3}$

description: We have measured the temperature dependence of resistivity in single-crystalline CeNiGe$_{3}$ under hydrostatic pressure in order to establish the characteristic pressure-temperature phase diagram. The transition temperature to AFM-I phase $T_{\rm N1}$ = 5.5 K at ambient pressure initially increases with increasing pressure and has a maximum at $\sim$ 3.0 GPa. Above 2.3 GPa, a clear zero-resistivity is observed (SC-I phase) and this superconducting (SC) state coexists with AFM-I phase. The SC-I phase suddenly disappears at 3.7 GPa simultaneously with the appearance of an additional kink anomaly corresponding to the phase transition to AFM-II phase. The AFM-II phase is continuously suppressed with further increasing pressure and disappears at $\sim$ 6.5 GPa. In the narrow range near the critical pressure, an SC phase reappears (SC-II phase). A large initial slope of upper critical field $μ_0H_{\rm c2}$ and non-Fermi liquid behavior indicate that the SC-II phase is mediated by antiferromagnetic fluctuations. On the other hand, the robust coexistence of the SC-I phase and AFM-I phase is unusual on the contrary to superconductivity near a quantum critical point on most of heavy-fermion compounds.
