description: Starting from a recently proposed comprehensive theory for the high-Tc superconductivity in cuprates, we derive a general analytic expression for the planar resistivity, in the presence of an applied external magnetic field $\textbf{H}$ and explore its consequences in the different phases of these materials. As an initial probe of our result, we show it compares very well with experimental data for the resistivity of LSCO at different values of the applied field. We also apply our result to Bi2201 and show that the magnetoresistivity in the strange metal phase of this material, exhibits the $H^2$ to $H$ crossover, as we move from the weak to the strong field regime. Yet, despite of that, the magnetoresistivity does not present a quadrature scaling. Remarkably, the resistivity H-field derivative does scale as a function of $\frac{H}{T}$, in complete agreement with recent magneto-transport measurements made in the strange metal phase of cuprates \cite{Hussey2020}. We, finally, address the issue of the $T$-power-law dependence of the resistivity of overdoped cuprates and compare our results with experimental data for Tl2201. We show that this provides a simple method to determine whether the quantum critical point associated to the pseudogap temperature $T^*(x)$ belongs to the SC dome or not.

description: This update of the highway cost allocation study is the seventh in a recent series begun in the early 1980's by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Kentucky Transportation Center. The primary objectives were to determine the level of revenue contribution and cost responsibility for each class of highway user. The base year of the study is FY 1995; the most recent time period for which revenue and cost data were available. Highway use or travel activity data for calendar year 1994 was the most recent available. A basic premise of the study was that only state maintained highways were of interest in recouping the costs expended to construct and maintain the system. In 1994, this system comprised 27,300 miles of the 72,900 miles of roads and streets in Kentucky, while accommodating 84 percent of all travel.  There were 17 highway user classes with which revenue contribution and cost responsibility were associated. Primary sources of revenue included fuel taxes, registration fees, usage taxes, tolls, and other motor carrier and federal taxes and fees. Primary expenditure categories included construction (subdivided into the six categories), maintenance and traffic, administration, and enforcement. Construction expenditures were subdivided into planning and design; right of way; utility relocation; grade, drain, and surfacing; resurfacing; bridges; and miscellaneous.  Results from the analysis indicate that cost responsibility is borne most heavily by passenger cars and motorcycles with 45.93 percent; followed by heavy trucks with gross weights of 60,000 pounds or more at 26.73 percent. Pickups and other vehicles registered in the 6,000-pound category were responsible for 19.99 percent of the cost. Other groups of vehicles totaled 7.35 percent of the cost responsibility.  The efficiency of highway-related tax collection was a secondary objective of the study. It was found that the efficiency of collection was about 81 percent tor the weight-distance tax and 78 percent or more for the heavy-vehicle surtax and the carrier fuel surtax.

A Proposed Method of Calibration and Correlation of Weigh-in-Motion Systems
Creators: name: Allen, David L.
name: Pigman, Jerry G.
Publisher: name: Kentucky Transportation Center, University of Kentucky
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: There are various types of weigh-in-motion systems currently in use by agencies that collect weight data. These include load cells, bending plate, capacitance pads, piezoelectric cables, and bridge WIM's. The response and behavior of these systems differs from one type to another. Most states calibrate these systems by one of two methods. The first is to calibrate by running a truck or trucks of known weights across the scales a number of times. The second is to use a sample of trucks from the traffic stream.  This report details a field calibration and correlation test site between a slow-speed WIM at a permanent weigh station and five other WIM systems. These other systems were a capacitance pad, a piezoelectric cable installed in a rigid slab, a piezoelectric cable installed in a flexible pavement, abridge WIM installed on a simple span, and a bridge WIM installed on a continuous span. From this test site, a method of calibrating WIM systems was developed that uses the accumulative distribution functions of the vehicle gross weights from the traffic stream.  By developing a distribution function for a standard scale (in this case, the permanent weigh station) and also for the WIM system being calibrated, a continuous calibration function can be developed between the two systems. Any weights obtained by the calibrated scale in the future can then be corrected to the standard scale by application of the continuous calibration function.  This report details a recommended calibration procedure tor correlating all scales in the state by use of calibration distribution functions. A computer program ("WIMBOTH") was developed to calculate the distribution functions and the calibration functions.

description: We present results from a pilot HST ACS deep imaging study in broad-band V of five low-redshift QSO host galaxies classified in the literature as ellipticals. The aim of our study is to determine whether these early-type hosts formed at high redshift and have since evolved passively, or whether they have undergone relatively recent mergers that may be related to the triggering of the nuclear activity. We perform two-dimensional modeling of the light distributions to analyze the host galaxies' morphology. We find that, while each host galaxy is reasonably well fitted by a de Vaucouleurs profile, the majority of them (4/5) reveal significant fine structure such as shells and tidal tails. These structures contribute between ~5% and 10% to the total V-band luminosity of each host galaxy within a region of r ~ 3 r_eff and are indicative of merger events that occurred between a few hundred Myr and a Gyr ago. These timescales are comparable to starburst ages in the QSO hosts previously inferred from Keck spectroscopy. Our results thus support a consistent scenario in which most of the QSO host galaxies suffered mergers with accompanying starbursts that likely also triggered the QSO activity in some way, but we are also left with considerable uncertainty on physical mechanisms that might have delayed this triggering for several hundred Myr after the merger.

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: Tax evasion is an elusive and burgeoning problem. Methods of tax evasion are continually changing and adapting to new methods of tax enforcement. However, there are strategies that can reduce the potential loss due to fuel tax evasion. This study of fuel tax evasion in Kentucky and the southeastern states provides additional information regarding the causes and nature of the road fund tax evasion problem, and identifies state and federal/state efforts to mitigate the tax evasion challenge. The concepts, issues, and recommendations in this report can aid in reducing evasion of the Kentucky motor fuels tax., thereby, enhancing the efficiency and equity in the administration of the motor fuels tax and increase the resources collected in the Kentucky Road Fund.
The African immigrants use of traditional healing practices as part of their process of resettlement into Canadian society
Creators: name: Cheboud, Elias Assefa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this research was to investigate what traditional healing practices African immigrants are using and have ceased to use, during the process of resettlement into Canadian society. An additional purpose was to investigate the participants' reasons for using or not using their traditional healing practices. One aim of the study was to provide information about these traditional differences and the ways in which professionals in the social service sector acknowledged African immigrants and have been helpful to them. Another aim of the study was to identify whether, and in what ways, professionals have been helpful. The study is important not only for social workers and human service professionals, but also for African immigrants themselves as well as for African immigrant community groups within Victoria. The African immigrants' traditional practices and the ways in which they adapt and resettle into the new society remain unknown in the literature. Perhaps, the African immigrants common challenges and their unique traditional approach to resettlement into the Canadian society have not yet captured the full attention of social work and human service professionals. This study was grounded in structural theory, migration theory, settlement theory and adaptation theory in order to draw theoretical understanding of the relationship between immigrants resettlement process and their experiences. The research was qualitative and exploratory. It included a participatory interview design. Twenty African immigrants from five different regions of Africa participated in the study. Two distinct traditional practices were identified (i.e. material tradition and non material tradition) which are the foundation of African immigrants traditional healing practices. This research has found that the use or abstention of traditional healing practices in re-settlement depends on the participants reasons for migration. There were distinct differences in the use or non-use of traditional healing practices between those who planned (economic), and those who were forced (political) to migrate

Visual Inspection of New Ramp Pavement at Bluegrass Airport Lexington, Kentucky
Creators: name: Allen, David L.
Publisher: name: Kentucky Transportation Center, University of Kentucky
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: Personnel from the Kentucky Transportation Center performed a visual inspection of newly constructed ramp pavement at the Bluegrass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky. The inspection was conducted in May, 1996 at the request of airport engineers. The inspection revealed a number of concrete apron slabs that had cracked. Attempts had been made (apparently by the contractor) to seal the cracks by epoxy injection. The visual inspection indicated that the epoxy may not have been performing as hoped, and that some of the cracks did not appear to be sealed. As a result, it was decided to obtain cores of the cracked slabs in the area of the cracks in an attempt to determine if the epoxy was performing as it should have been.  During the inspection, other concrete damage was noted along and associated with two drainage trenches constructed as a part of the new ramp. This damage will be described in detail later in this report.

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The purpose of this project was to use a public information and education campaign, along with increased enforcement, to reduce the problem of red light running (RLR) in Lexington, Kentucky. The objective of this portion of the project was to evaluate the effectiveness of the campaign.  The mail and telephone surveys, taken before and after the campaign, revealed that the RLR program had been successful in improving public awareness of the problems associated with disregarding traffic signals. About 60 percent of the respondents recalled seeing or hearing ads or information dealing with red light running. Approximately one-half of the respondents who recalled RLR information indicated they had changed their driving with the most common response that they now stop for yellow lights.  Compared to the before period, the number of RLR collisions decreased by 4.8 percent during the five-month campaign period while total accidents increased by 8. 9 percent. The number of RLR citations increased by 45.9 percent during the campaign period while total citations decreased by 14.9 percent. The number of cycles in which at least one vehicle crossed the stop bar after the start of the red indication decreased from 7.2 before to 4.6 percent at the end of the campaign at intersections which had the highest number of RLR collisions. The depositions of RLR citations were similar before and during the program with only about two percent dismissed or found not guilty.

description: We address the size of supersymmetry-breaking effects within higher-dimensional settings where the observable sector resides deep within a strongly warped region, with supersymmetry breaking not necessarily localized in that region. Our particular interest is in how the supersymmetry-breaking scale seen by the observable sector depends on this warping. We obtain this dependence in two ways: by computing within the microscopic (string) theory supersymmetry-breaking masses in supermultiplets; and by investigating how warping gets encoded into masses within the low-energy 4D effective theory. We find that the lightest gravitino mode can have mass much less than the straightforward estimate from the mass shift of the unwarped zero mode. This lightest Kaluza-Klein excitation plays the role of the supersymmetric partner of the graviton and has a warped mass m_{3/2} proportional to e^A, with e^A the warp factor, and controls the size of the soft SUSY breaking terms. We formulate the conditions required for the existence of a description in terms of a 4D SUGRA formulation, or in terms of 4D SUGRA together with soft-breaking terms, and describe in particular situations where neither exist for some non-supersymmetric compactifications. We suggest that some effects of warping are captured by a linear $A$ dependence in the Kahler potential. We outline some implications of our results for the KKLT scenario of moduli stabilization with broken SUSY.

description: We apply a 1D upper atmosphere model to study thermal escape of nitrogen over Titan's history. Significant thermal escape should have occurred very early for solar EUV fluxes 100 to 400 times higher than today with escape rates as high as $\approx 1.5\times 10^{28}$ s$^{-1}$ and $\approx 4.5\times 10^{29}$ s$^{-1}$, respectively, while today it is $\approx 7.5\times 10^{17}$ s$^{-1}$. Depending on whether the Sun originated as a slow, moderate or fast rotator, thermal escape was the dominant escape process for the first 100 to 1000 Myr after the formation of the solar system. If Titan's atmosphere originated that early, it could have lost between $\approx 0.5 - 16$ times its present atmospheric mass depending on the Sun's rotational evolution. We also investigated the mass-balance parameter space for an outgassing of Titan's nitrogen through decomposition of NH$_3$-ices in its deep interior. Our study indicates that, if Titan's atmosphere originated at the beginning, it could have only survived until today if the Sun was a slow rotator. In other cases, the escape would have been too strong for the degassed nitrogen to survive until present-day, implying later outgassing or an additional nitrogen source. An endogenic origin of Titan's nitrogen partially through NH$_3$-ices is consistent with its initial fractionation of $^{14}$N/$^{15}$N $\approx$ 166 - 172, or lower if photochemical removal was relevant for longer than the last $\approx$ 1,000 Myr. Since this ratio is slightly above the ratio of cometary ammonia, some of Titan's nitrogen might have originated from refractory organics.

description: This presentation summarizes a (biased) selection of results and discussions presented during the Sexten 2019 workshop "Light in the suburbs: structure and chemodynamics of galaxy halos" based on observations. Over the past decade observations of stellar halos have become more routine, although they are still challenging. There has been a huge progress and now it has been established that diverse stellar halos are present around large galaxies. Trends are emerging providing observational clues of hierarchical assembly and extended envelopes around all galaxy types down to smaller dwarf size galaxies. When interpreting observations it is important to distinguish between data driven conclusions, and results that include also model assumptions.

Our result is k_m = -1.5 +/- 0.6. Using the periastron precession, as traditionally done with other eclipsing binaries in eccentric orbits, would have not been possible because of the circularity of the V621 Cen path.

Galactocele in a Lactating Woman: A Case Report.
Creators: name: Asheq Hussain
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Galactoceles, benign cystic lesions filled with milk, are a rare but important entity encountered in lactating women. This case report discusses the clinical presentation, imaging findings, and management of a galactocele in a 32-year-old primigravida. The patient presented with a palpable breast lump during lactation, prompting further investigation. Imaging studies, including ultrasound, mammography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), played a crucial role in confirming the diagnosis. The treatment involved a conservative approach with aspiration, and the patient demonstrated a favorable outcome. This report emphasizes the significance of a multidisciplinary approach to diagnose and manage galactoceles in lactating women.

description: The bulk macroscopic response of a system of particles or inclusions with field-induced forces is studied. The susceptibilities and transport coefficients in such a system are expressed as averages of a multiple scattering expansion. A special diagrammatic method is developed to analyze the structure of the expansion. The concept of irreducibility is discussed in detail and shown to be crucial in obtaining macroscopic equations characterizing the system response with coefficients depending solely on local properties of the medium. Due to the representation of particles by lines in diagrams, irreducibility is given a particularly simple topological interpretation in the diagrammatic language. The method is illustrated by a discussion of response problems in colloidal suspensions in presence of hydrodynamic interactions.

description: For a second-order phase transition the critical energy range of interest is larger than the energy range covered by a canonical Monte Carlo simulation at the critical temperature. Such an extended energy range can be covered by performing a Wang-Landau recursion for the spectral density followed by a multicanonical simulation with fixed weights. But in the conventional approach one loses the advantage due to cluster algorithms. A cluster version of the Wang-Landau recursion together with a subsequent multibondic simulation improves for 2D and 3D Ising models the efficiency of the conventional Wang-Landau/multicanonical approach by power laws in the lattice size. In our simulations real gains in CPU time reach two orders of magnitude.

Re-defining legitimacy : international law, multilateral institutions and the problem of socio-cultural fragmentation within established African states
Creators: name: Okafor, Obiora Chinedu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis has been pre-occupied with four major interconnected projects. The first of these was a search for an understanding of the nature of the crisis of structural legitimacy that currently afflicts the fragmented post-colonial African state, an enquiry that examines the nature of the very phenomena that the law has sought to regulate. The second was to understand the nature, and social effects, of the various doctrinal attitudes historically exhibited by international law and institutions toward the phenomenon of "socio-cultural fragmentation within established states". In this respect, I have sought to understand the ways in which certain doctrines of international law and institutions have provided powerful arguments, justifications or excuses for those states that have deemed it necessary to attempt to forge coercively, both a sense of common citizenship, and an ethos of national coherence, among their various component sub-state groups. The third was to chart the ongoing normative and factual transformation of the traditional approaches that international law and institutions have adopted toward that problem, and thereby map the extent to which these institutions have taken advantage of such innovations, enabling them to actually contribute to the effort to prevent and/or reduce the incidence of internecine strife in specific African contexts. And the last was to recommend a way forward that is guided by the conclusions of the thesis: a way in which these institution-driven transformations can be encouraged and consolidated in the specific context of African states. For purposes of brevity and the imperative need for focus, these enquiries have been conducted in the specific but somewhat allegorical context of Africa. It is hoped, however, that even this largely Africa-specific analysis has contributed to the advancement of knowledge regarding the general question of the relationship among the doctrines of international law, the activities of multilateral institutions, and the management of the problems of socio-cultural fragmentation and internecine strife within established states.
A Pattern-mining Driven Study on Differences of Newspapers in Expressing Temporal Information

description: This paper studies the differences between different types of newspapers in expressing temporal information, which is a topic that has not received much attention. Techniques from the fields of temporal processing and pattern mining are employed to investigate this topic. First, a corpus annotated with temporal information is created by the author. Then, sequences of temporal information tags mixed with part-of-speech tags are extracted from the corpus. The TKS algorithm is used to mine skip-gram patterns from the sequences. With these patterns, the signatures of the four newspapers are obtained. In order to make the signatures uniquely characterize the newspapers, we revise the signatures by removing reference patterns. Through examining the number of patterns in the signatures and revised signatures, the proportion of patterns containing temporal information tags and the specific patterns containing temporal information tags, it is found that newspapers differ in ways of expressing temporal information.

description: The subject of this dissertation is the effect of state immunity in the affairs of political courts that concern cases regarding compensation of human rights violation victims. The analysis becomes via the examination of important national and international jurisdictional bodies decisions investigating the development of right via this case law and the theoretical discussions resulting from these decisions. This analysis led to the conclusion that despite the existence of positive steps to protect of victims of human rights violation, it appears that the application of state immunity is the rule that guides the practice of states.

description: In the presence of a strong uniform magnetic field, we study the influence of space noncommutativity on the electromagnetic waves propagating through a quasi-static homogeneous plasma. In this treatment, we have adopted a physical model which considers plasma as quasi-neutral single fluid. By using noncommutative Maxwell theory, the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations are established, in which new equilibrium conditions are extracted. As an empirical study, some attractive features of MHD waves behavior are investigated. Furthermore, it is shown that the presence of space noncommutativity enhances slightly the phase velocity of the incompressive shear Alfvén waves. In a compressible plasma, the noncommutativity plays the role of an additional compression on the medium, in which its relevant effect on the fast mode occurs for highly oblique branchs, while the low effect appears when the propagations are nearly parallel or anti-parallel. In addition, it turned out that the influence of space deformation on the slow modes is $\sim 10^{3}$ times smaller than that on the fast modes. The space noncommutativity effect on the slow waves is negligible in low plasma $β$ value, and could appear when $β$ is higher than $0.1,$ thus the extreme modification occurs for oblique slow waves propagating with angles between $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$. Finally, we comment on the possible effect of such waves on CMB spectrum in photon-baryon plasma.

description: In this paper we investigate the attractor mechanism in the five dimensional low energy supergravity theory corresponding to M-theory compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold $CY_3$. Using very special geometry, we derive the general first-order attractor flow equations for BPS and non-BPS solutions in five-dimensional Gibbons-Hawking spaces. Especially, considering the supersymmetric solution, we obtain the first-order flow equations for supersymmetric (multi)black rings. We also solve the flow equations and discuss some properties of the solutions of flow equations.

description: Στο σύνολο της εικονογραφίας της νεότερης ελληνικής τέχνης, η απεικόνιση πολιτικών προσώπων σε ιστορικές σκηνές κατέχει μια μικρή, αλλά συνάμα σπουδαία θέση. Τέχνη και πολιτική σε άρρηκτο δεσμό μεταξύ τους, κάνουν έκδηλη την προσπάθεια της εκάστοτε εξουσίας να επικυρώσει τις θέσεις της, να νομιμοποιήσει τις επιλογές και φυσικά να επιβεβαιώσει το είδωλό της.
description: In the iconography of Modern Greek painting the depiction of politicians in historical scenes has a small, however very important role. Art and politics, connected to each other, reveal authority’s desire to certify its views, to legalize its choices and –of course- to affirm its political image.

description: The ultraviolet-to-radio continuum spectral energy distributions are presented for all 75 galaxies in the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS). A principal component analysis of the sample shows that most of the sample's spectral variations stem from two underlying components, one representative of a galaxy with a low infrared-to-ultraviolet ratio and one representative of a galaxy with a high infrared-to-ultraviolet ratio. The influence of several parameters on the infrared-to-ultraviolet ratio is studied (e.g., optical morphology, disk inclination, far-infrared color, ultraviolet spectral slope, and star formation history). Consistent with our understanding of normal star-forming galaxies, the SINGS sample of galaxies in comparison to more actively star-forming galaxies exhibits a larger dispersion in the infrared-to-ultraviolet versus ultraviolet spectral slope correlation. Early type galaxies, exhibiting low star formation rates and high optical surface brightnesses, have the most discrepant infrared-to-ultraviolet correlation. These results suggest that the star formation history may be the dominant regulator of the broadband spectral variations between galaxies. Finally, a new discovery shows that the 24 micron morphology can be a useful tool for parametrizing the global dust temperature and ultraviolet extinction in nearby galaxies. The dust emission in dwarf/irregular galaxies is clumpy and warm accompanied by low ultraviolet extinction, while in spiral galaxies there is typically a much larger diffuse component of cooler dust and average ultraviolet extinction. For galaxies with nuclear 24 micron emission, the dust temperature and ultraviolet extinction are relatively high compared to disk galaxies.

The use of quantum-correlated D^0 decays for phi3 measurement

description: We report the results of the Monte-Carlo study of the method to determine the CKM angle phi3 using Dalitz plot analysis of D0 decay from B->DK process. Our main goal is to find the optimal strategy for a model-independent phi3 extraction. We find that the analysis using decays of CP-tagged D mesons only cannot provide a completely model-independent measurement in the case of limited data sample. The procedure involving binned analysis of B->DK and psi(3770)->(K0 pi+ pi-)_D (K0 pi+ pi-)_D decays is proposed, that allows to reach the phi3 precision comparable to unbinned model-dependent fit.
