description: In the published version of this paper [Finite Fields and Their Applications {\bf 20} (2013) 40--54], there is an error in the proof of Theorem 4.2 of the paper. Here we correct the error and give the right statments for Theorems 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 We give a construction of genus fields for congruence function fields. First we consider the cyclotomic function field case following the ideas of Leopoldt and then the general case. As applications we give explicitly the genus fields of Kummer, Artin--Schreier and cyclic $p$--extensions. Kummer extensions were obtained previously by G. Peng and Artin--Schreier extensions were obtained by S. Hu and Y. Li.

Supercritical branching diffusions in random environment

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Supercritical branching processes in constant environment conditioned on eventual extinction are known to be subcritical branching processes. The case of random environment is more subtle. A supercritical branching diffusion in random environment (BDRE) conditioned on eventual extinction of the population is not a BDRE. However the quenched law of the population size of a supercritical BDRE conditioned on eventual extinction is equal to the quenched law of the population size of a subcritical BDRE. As a consequence, supercritical BDREs have a phase transition which is similar to a well-known phase transition of subcritical branching processes in random environment.

description: The TESS space telescope performs photometric observation of the whole celestial sphere and provides data for more than 105 relatively bright stars. To succeed with the analysis of this extensive amount of data, we have created a high-performance autonomous computing procedure (TESS-AP) that carries out periodic analysis of the obtained light curves, detects stellar pulsations and selects stars with desired type of photometric variability. This procedure also performs an automatic search for known characteristics of studied stars in several databases like TIC, SIMBAD, GALAH, etc., and includes the derived data and respective references to the final report. It will help validate the stellar classification of the observed objects, as they appear in existing catalogues of variable stars.

description: We present a numerical model of local and nonlocal transport properties in a lateral spin valve structure consisting of two magnetic electrodes in contact with a third perpendicular superconducting electrode. By considering the transport paths for a single electron incident at the local F/S interface - in terms of probabilities of crossed or local Andreev reflection, elastic cotunneling or quasiparticle transport - we show that this leads to nonlocal charge imbalance. We compare this model with experimental data from an aluminum-permalloy (Al/Py) lateral spin valve geometry device and demonstrate the effectiveness of this simple approach in replicating experimental behavior.

Bounded rationality in games : theory, experiments, and applications
Creators: name: Kneeland, Terri
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation combines three contributions to the literature on bounded rationality in games. The aim of this thesis is to improve our understanding of how individuals make decisions in games, improve our ability to model this behavior and increase our understanding of how bounded rationality affects predictions, policy and optimal mechanisms. The first paper is an application of a boundedly rational model to explain behavior in coordinated attack games. I demonstrate that the main experimental results, such as threshold strategies, comparative statics, and the differences in behavior under public and private information, are robust predictions of limited depth of reasoning models. This is in contrast to equilibrium, which mispredicts the coordinating roles of the different types of information. The analysis has implications for macroeconomic phenomena, like currency attacks and debt crises, which are commonly modeled using incomplete information coordinated attack games. The second paper explores policy and optimal mechanism design under bounded rationality. Level-k implementation is contrasted with the more standard Bayesian implementation concept. I show that the revelation principle holds with an augmented message space and that level-k implementation is a weaker solution concept. In addition, level-k implementation is possible in a mechanism that is robust to different specifications of beliefs about depths of reasoning or to any specification of beliefs about payoffs. The third paper takes a step back from assuming a particular solution concept and investigates empirical features of strategic reasoning in the lab. I employ strategic choice data from a carefully chosen set of ring games to obtain individual-level estimates of the following three epistemic conditions: rationality, beliefs about the rationality of others, and consistent beliefs. I find that not a single subject satisfies all three of the epistemic conditions sufficient for Nash equilibrium and that consistent beliefs, rather than rationality, is the more likely source for the failure of Nash equilibrium. The design allows us to weight the relative plausibility of alternative solution concepts used to explain laboratory results.

$η_c$ mixing effects on charmonium and $B$ meson decays

description: We include the $η_c$ meson into the $η$-$η'$-$G$ mixing formalism constructed in our previous work, where $G$ represents the pseudoscalar gluball. The mixing angles in this tetramixing matrix are constrained by theoretical and experimental implications from relevant hadronic processes. Especially, the angle between $η_c$ and $G$ is found to be about $11^\circ$ from the measured decay widths of the $η_c$ meson. The pseudoscalar glueball mass $m_G$, the pseudoscalar densities $m_{qq,ss,cc}$ and the U(1) anomaly matrix elements associated with the mixed states are solved from the anomalous Ward identities. The solution $m_G\approx 1.4$ GeV obtained from the $η$-$η'$-$G$ mixing is confirmed, while $m_{qq}$ grows to above the pion mass, and thus increases perturbative QCD predictions for the branching ratios $Br(B\toη'K)$. We then analyze the $η_c$-mixing effects on charmonium magnetic dipole transitions, and on the $B\toη^{(\prime)}K_S$ branching ratios and CP asymmetries, which further improve the consistency between theoretical predictions and data. A predominant observation is that the $η_c$ mixing enhances the perturbative QCD predictions for $Br(B\toη'K)$ by 18%, but does not alter those for $Br(B\toηK)$. The puzzle due to the large $Br(B\toη'K)$ data is then resolved.

Congestion control for M2M communications in LTE networks
Creators: name: Duan, Suyang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: When incorporating machine-to-machine (M2M) communications into the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, one of the challenges is the traffic overload due to a large number of machine type communication (MTC) devices with bursty traffic. One approach to tackle this problem is to use the access class barring (ACB) mechanism to regulate the opportunity of MTC devices to transmit request packets. In this thesis, we first present an analytical model to determine the expected total service time. For the ideal case that the LTE base station (eNodeB) has the information of the number of backlogged users, we determine the optimal value of the ACB factor, which can reduce congestion and access delay. For the practical scenario, we propose a heuristic algorithm to adaptively change the ACB factor without the knowledge of the number of backlogged users. Results show that the proposed heuristic algorithm achieves near optimal performance. We also study the scenario where the number of preambles dedicated to M2M traffic is not fixed and investigate whether dynamic resource allocation can reduce the average number of random access opportunities per MTC device. Simulation results show that the fixed resource allocation scheme can achieve as good performance as the dynamic scheme in reducing the number of opportunities and thus dynamic resource allocation is not necessary.
Application of Quantified Risk Assessment to the Building Fire Safety Problem
Creators: name: Hay, A.
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1992

description: Traditionally building fire safety has been achieved through compliance with prescriptive building regulations. However, legislation is intended to ensure that minimum life safety levels are achieved, it is not intended to form the basis for design. In recognition of the limitations of this approach, the UK Building Regulations were revised in 1985 to make them more flexible and to accommodate the fire safety engineering approach to design. This thesis describes the development and application of a methodology for the quantification of fire risks in buildings. The methodology represents an adaptation of the classical framework for quantified risk assessment that has proven to be successful in other fields of engineering. Fire safety engineering knowledge and techniques are integrated with a formalised method of safety analysis to produce a tool which can be used as an aid for decision-making. In its present form, it is considered to be a compliment to, rather than a replacement for, existing methods. The methodology adopts a hybrid probabilistic/deterministic modelling approach, utilising existing techniques and calculation methods. Separate calculation models have been developed for the quantification of life and property risks. A qualitative framework is described for rationalizing the building fire safety system and focusing on the quantitative analysis, particularly for the life risk analysis. The property risk analysis utilises a Monte Carlo simulation technique to model fire spread through the building. Property loss is related to the area of fire damage. The methodology is structured so that it can accommodate new or improved knowledge as and when it becomes available. As the methodology is further developed and the level of sophistication and comprehensiveness increases, it should ultimately be possible to use it for the demonstration of code equivalency. In its present form, the methodology has been applied to investigate the risk to life and property in a simple office building and it has been shown that the results can be used as a basis for deciding between alternative fire safety strategies. A sensitivity analysis has been undertaken to determine the effect of variations in the input parameters on the results.

We show that these do not depend on the existence of binary products. In the second part we focus on varieties of algebras.

“The Blackness of the Day”: Job’s Regressive Paradise as Creation Unmade
Creators: name: Knight, C. Ryan
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012
Subjects: creation; Job; nudity; paradise; suffering; theodicy

description: This article explores the regressive pursuit of paradise Job makes upon the onset of his calamities – his numerous losses, followed by the onset of sore boils. A figure uncannily resembling the prelapsarian Adam, Job (also innocently naked) curses all creation. By the end of the book of Job, God manages to quell Job’s opposition through his speech out of the whirlwind. Yet what Job has done, and what the book of Job does, is alert readers of the problematic dimension of creation. Job’s insistence on returning to the void maddens God because God and the void were, prior to creation, one: the God-void, the void-God. Through the act of creation, though, God, in his pursuit of alterity, originates evil by denying his very being and banishing the void. When God “re-creates” creation before Job, one thus realizes God is actually attempting to convince the void of the goodness of creation and to reunite with the void – which, of course, the void will not do, for to do is to act, and to act would be to divide its being. Thus, Job’s summoning of the void (even if he conceives of it as an immaterial substance and not also a being, a former component of God) is not just for every created person’s sake, but also for God’s sake; by returning to the void, God would ultimately be undivided once more. Such, then, is the regressive paradise which emerges from the book of Job – a paradise which cannot be, but which Job (and perhaps even God) longs for nonetheless.

Disorder chaos in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with external field

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We consider a spin system obtained by coupling two distinct Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) models with the same temperature and external field whose Hamiltonians are correlated. The disorder chaos conjecture for the SK model states that the overlap under the corresponding Gibbs measure is essentially concentrated at a single value. In the absence of external field, this statement was first confirmed by Chatterjee [Disorder chaos and multiple valleys in spin glasses (2009) Preprint]. In the present paper, using Guerra's replica symmetry breaking bound, we prove that the SK model is also chaotic in the presence of the external field and the position of the overlap is determined by an equation related to Guerra's bound and the Parisi measure.

description: The terrorist attack on the Twin Towers on 11 September 2001 represents a pivotal moment in the dynamic that shapes the explanatory and identification category of "the West" in a crisis of relationship with the "other" that has taken on the tone of a clash of civilizations .
Within this scenario, the present work starts from the interpretation of the suicide terrorist as kamikaze to develop a reflection on the construction of the categories we/other in contemporary Western society. The image of the martyr who seeks - through the bomb that will destroy his earthly life - a road to paradise is an archaic paradox that still resonates in us, reduced to a simplified simulacrum, in itself sufficient to explain the absurdity of a gesture so powerfully destructive. The paradise of the suicide bomber assumes the function of a screen that allows us to distance ourselves from the other, confine him to a world totally alien, so different as to be driven by irrationality and inhumanity.
In a society that is increasingly immune and saved from the negative, the image of paradise becomes a necessary filter to face the destructive event, avoiding the need to relate with it in an attempt to understand.

description: We identify a region of F(R)=R^{N} gravity without external sources which is isometric to the spacetime of colliding plane waves (CPW). From the derived curvature sources, N (N>1) measures the strength (i.e. the charge) of the source. The analogy renders construction and collision of plane waves in F(R)=R^{N} gravity possible, as in the Einstein-Maxwell (EM) theory, simply because R=0. A plane wave in this type of gravity is equivalent to a Weyl curvature plus an electromagnetic energy-momentum-like term (i.e. 'source without source'). For N=1 we recover naturally the plane waves (and their collision) in Einstein's theory. Our aim is to find the effect of an expanding universe by virtue of F(R)=R^{N} on the colliding gravitational plane waves of Einstein.

Acquisition of English and French language proficiency and reading comprehension of multilingual students in French immersion programs : a 3-year longitudinal study
Creators: name: Bérubé, Daniel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation consists of three articles that explore the oral language proficiency and reading skills in the second language (English) and third language (French) of multilingual students in Canadian French immersion programs. Oral language proficiency included measures of vocabulary knowledge and listening comprehension. In this dissertation, multilingual students are children who are exposed to a home language other than English or French. Chapter 2 shows that multilingual students developed oral language proficiency and reading skills differently from bilingual English-French students in Grades 4 and 6. This emphasizes the importance of studying multilingual learners in greater detail, and several factors such as first language and the interdependence between the L2 and L3 are identified as contributors of English and French proficiency. Chapter 3 examines the relationship between first language typology—defined as the classification of languages according to their structural characteristics (e.g. phonological and writing systems)—and the development of English and French language proficiency and literacy skills in groups of students who are either literate in an alphabetic first language (e.g. Spanish) or literate in a logographic/syllabary first language (e.g. Chinese). Results indicated that students with an alphabetic first language showed advantages in reading comprehension. However, there was no difference in word reading and pseudoword reading. A more accurate picture of what facilitates reading in English and French is enhanced when differences in oral language proficiency are also considered. It was found that vocabulary knowledge had a greater influence on reading comprehension in both English and French in students who were literate in an alphabetic first language rather than a logographic first language. The fourth chapter further explores other factors associated with multilingual students’ oral language proficiency and reading skills in French: socio-linguistic factors (e.g. motivation, socio-economic status, amount of reading in French), metalinguistic awareness factors (e.g. morphological awareness), and language proficiency factors (e.g. vocabulary knowledge and listening comprehension). Controlling for amount of reading in French and morphological awareness in English, regression analyses showed that oral language proficiency and reading comprehension skills in English were the best predictors of oral language proficiency and reading comprehension skills in French.
Beyond Mean-Field Low-Lying Excitations of Dipolar Bose Gases

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

description: We theoretically investigate various beyond mean-field effects on Bose gases at zero temperature featuring the anisotropic and long-range dipole-dipole interaction in addition to the isotropic and short-range contact interaction. Within the realm of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory, we consider static properties and low-lying excitations of both homogeneous and harmonically trapped dipolar bosonic gases. For the homogeneous system, the condensate depletion, the ground-state energy, the equation of state, and the speed of sound are discussed in detail. Making use of the local density approximation, we extend these results in order to study the properties of a dipolar Bose gas in a harmonic trap and in the regime of large particle numbers. After deriving the equations of motion for the general case of a triaxial trap, we analyze the influence of quantum fluctuations on important properties of the gas, such as the equilibrium configuration and the low-lying excitations in the case of a cylinder-symmetric trap. In addition to the monopole and quadrupole oscillation modes, we also discuss the radial quadrupole mode. We find that the latter acquires a quantum correction exclusively due to the dipole-dipole interaction. As a result, we identify the radial quadrupole as a reasonably accessible source for the signature of dipolar many-body effects and stress the enhancing character that dipolar interactions have for quantum fluctuations in the other oscillation modes.

description: I investigate the politics of paradises in the 1920s African-American gospel blues of Blind Willie Johnson. His recordings are apocalyptic vignettes which juxtapose and conflate paradises, using many different voices. I describe the theological and political paradises in Johnson’s songs: the Old Testament journey to Canaan; the post-death heaven in the New Testament; Christ’s kingdom on earth in Revelation; freedom in Northern cities or Canada; and a utopian dream of political emancipation of African-Americans and transformation of society in the South.
 I outline the various voices present in Johnson’s recordings: vocal styles; accompanying singers; the guitar; grammatical, textual and lexical voices; and the silent voices of technology and time. I suggest traces of a subtle political activism in these voices and paradises, and explore uses of these voices in linking paradises, arguing that the complex transitions enhance the force of signification and frustrate attempts to finalise meanings.
 Many interpretations of Johnson’s recordings, however, seek to determine final meaning, and I discuss the limitations of such attempts, limitations which not only underestimate the richness of the recordings but deny Johnson any political awareness or agency. In cautioning against this kind of project, I call for a hearing open to plural interpretations, and suggest political potential not only in coded messages, but in radical indeterminacy itself.

description: We study the ground-state phase diagram of the quantum $J_1-J_2$ model on the square lattice by means of an entangled-plaquette variational ansatz. In the range $0\le {J_2}/{J_1} \le 1$, we find classical magnetic order of Néel and collinear type, for ${J_2}/{J_1}\lesssim 0.5$, and $J_2/J_1 \gtrsim 0.6$ respectively. For intermediate values of $J_2/J_1$ the ground state is a spin liquid (i.e., paramagnetic with no valence bond crystalline order). Our estimates of the entanglement entropy show that such a spin liquid is topological.

“It could never be the same again”. Paradisi e altre metafore bibliche nella letteratura nordirlandese
Creators: name: Scarpato, Francesca
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: Con l’articolo si propone una lettura del tema del paradiso all’interno della tradizione letteraria irlandese: più specificamente, della fiction nord-irlandese. In un contesto come quello dell’Irlanda del Nord, la letteratura è stata inevitabilmente travolta dalla situazione socio-politica e, come sempre accade, investita di una funzione politica: essa è riuscita a trasmettere in vari modi l’esperienza che le genti dell’Irlanda del Nord hanno vissuto, e i testi che compongono questa tradizione hanno attinto a tale contesto in vari modi. L’eccezionalità della situazione, il trauma della violenza, il destino avverso e ineludibile, il senso fatalistico di una storia nazionale che presenta il paradigma di un eterno ritorno sono stati proposti da molti autori attraverso vari linguaggi. Questi scrittori hanno così reinterpretato la travagliata storia d’Irlanda affidando spesso molte narrazioni a potenti metafore bibliche. E se spesso alcune di queste hanno creato l’illusione che una soluzione concreta potesse essere a portata di mano, altre volte tali testi hanno dolorosamente registrato la situazione contingente, riponendo nella fede, e soltanto in questa, ogni possibilità di uscita dalle secche del conflitto.

description: We report a systematic study of the magnetic field sensitivity of a magnetic sensor based on a single Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) defect in diamond, by using continuous optically detected electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. We first investigate the behavior of the ESR contrast and linewidth as a function of the microwave and optical pumping power. The experimental results are in good agreement with a simplified model of the NV defect spin dynamics, yielding to an optimized sensitivity around 2 μT/\sqrt{\rm Hz}. We then demonstrate an enhancement of the magnetic sensitivity by one order of magnitude by using a simple pulsed-ESR scheme. This technique is based on repetitive excitation of the NV defect with a resonant microwave π-pulse followed by an optimized read-out laser pulse, allowing to fully eliminate power broadening of the ESR linewidth. The achieved sensitivity is similar to the one obtained by using Ramsey-type sequences, which is the optimal magnetic field sensitivity for the detection of DC magnetic fields.

description: In these years Academia is facing a crisis. It is manifested in the fact that the public increasingly question our raison d’être, our results and our recommendations. But how did it come to this? In my point of view the reason is that political winds and changes in the managerial paradigms of the public sector have blown parts of Academia off its track: Put boldly some disciplines no longer produce knowledge to improve society and the living conditions of humanity, but focus on meeting simplistic research production targets set by university management. If we want to regain our position in society and the popular trust, we must reverse this development.
Calculation of transport coefficient profiles in modulation experiments as an inverse problem

description: The calculation of transport profiles from experimental measurements belongs in the category of inverse problems which are known to come with issues of ill-conditioning or singularity. A reformulation of the calculation, the matricial approach, is proposed for periodically modulated experiments, within the context of the standard advection-diffusion model where these issues are related to the vanishing of the determinant of a 2x2 matrix. This sheds light on the accuracy of calculations with transport codes, and provides a path for a more precise assessment of the profiles and of the related uncertainty.

Il paese dei balocchi: Pinocchio tra Paradiso e Inferno

description: "What a wonderful, beautiful, marvelous country! Oh--h--h!!",says Pinocchio at the end of the  Chapter XXX of “The Adventures”, after Lamp-Wick explained him the amazing features of  the "real country--the best in the world--a wonderful place!": the Land of Toys, also named “blessed place” and portrayed as a sort of heaven on heart for lazy boys.
In reality, the approaching road to the Land of Toys, before as a mental process,  - a persuasion of himself – and then as real journey, it’s like a fall to hell.
The master of ceremonies of this fall to hell is just the fellow Lamp-Wick,in fact in the original version of the book Lamp-Wick is “Lucignolo”, a name reminiscent of Lucifer, the famous fallen angel.
Lamp-Wick and Pinocchio work up to the Land of Toy in a wagon conducted by a spineless, shifty driver: “a little, fat man, muchwiderthan he was long, round and shinyas a ball of butter, with a face beaminglike an apple, a little mouth that always smiled, and a voice small and wheedling like that of a catbegging for food”.
This “little, fat man” is a sort of  Charon, and the wagon: “wasdrawn by twelve pair of donkeys, all of the same size, but all of different color. Some weregray, otherswhite, and still others a mixture of brown and black. Here and there were a few with large yellow and blue stripes.”.
These queerd on keys, recurring frequently in the fairytale and they are full of double meaning: in half way point between the numinoso Christ’s whitehorse and the demonic Cambridge Bestiary.
Pinocchio and Lamp-Wick glorify the life in the Land of Toys: they feel free and happy like in heaven, but the hard truth is very different: this land looks like the Hell, everywhere is noise, disorder, insecurity.
During the development of the story,  it’s possibile to detect different elements of the Pinocchio’s rise and fall between Heaven and Hell. For example the double nature of the Fairy: during the tale she can be the ghost of the little girl (de facto an angel) or she can be a goat (a devil’s mark).
Talking about rise and fall, the end of the story is paradigmatic: Pinocchio will get a real boy. Acquiring the human nature, he will be able to find the Heaven on earth, after a long series of ups and downs, starting with  a “badhell night”.

Muerte en el paraíso: una vista a la representación del jardín en la obra de María Luisa Bombal (1910-1980)

description: In the work of the Chilean narrator Maria Luisa Bombal, the representation of the garden mentions the biblical paradise. Nevertheless, this dialogue with the tradition presents/displays some variations that repel in the constructed feminine subjectivities in this ethos paradisiac that we have defined as landscape. Thanks to certain rhetorical figures like the elipsis and to the suspension of the perspective in the landscaping composition, the feminine personages of Maria Luisa Bombal merge in the nature and rather happen telluric forces that are identified not like subjects founded on Metaphysical values, but like ghostly voices. The entailment of the subject, understood like an historical construction, with the paradisiac space that lives or longs for is given by the notion of landscape, resource that allows to establish interdisciplinary bridges between the narrative of the Chilean author and the plastic one.

The Fundamental Parameters of Four Massive Eclipsing Binaries in Westerlund 1

description: Only a small number of high mass stars (> 30 Mo) have fundamental parameters (i.e. masses and radii) measured with high enough accuracy from eclipsing binaries to constrain formation and evolutionary models of massive stars. This work aims to increase this limited sample, by studying the 4 massive eclipsing binary candidates discovered by Bonanos in the young massive cluster Westerlund 1. We present new follow-up echelle spectroscopy of these binaries and models of their light and radial velocity curves. We obtain fundamental parameters (i.e. masses, radii) for the 8 component stars, finding masses that span a range of 10-40 Mo, and contributing accurate fundamental parameters for 1 additional very massive star, the 33 Mo component of W13. WR77o is found to have a ~40 Mo companion, which provides a second dynamical constraint on the mass of the progenitor of the magnetar known in the cluster. We also use W13 to estimate the first, direct, eclipsing binary distance to Westerlund 1 and therefore the magnetar, and find it to be at 3.7 +/- 0.6 kpc. Our results confirm previous evidence for a high mass for the progenitor of the magnetar. In addition, the availability of eclipsing binaries with accurate parameters opens the way for direct, independent, high precision eclipsing binary distance measurements to Westerlund 1.
