description: The commemoration of the First World War in Britain and Ireland has a complex history. Immediately after the war, the dead were memorialised in a range of public and private spaces. Next of Kin Memorial Plaques were created by the government, and war memorials formed the core of local and national commemorative initiatives. However, following political upheaval in Ireland, the memory of the war in Unionist and Nationalist communities diverged. Increasingly, in both Britain and Ireland, the First World War has become politicised, with contemporary politics linked to its commemoration.

The effects of ocean acidification on predator-prey interactions in echinoderms
Creators: name: Vaughan, Megan Lillian Hatfield
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The need to understand future changes in marine ecosystems has become critically important as increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) drives rapid ocean acidification (OA). OA may improve or reduce the performance of marine species, and the relative impacts on interacting species will largely determine changes at the community level. The goal of this thesis was to determine the effects of acidification on predator-prey interactions between red sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus franciscanus) and sunflower stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides), a key predator-prey pair in Northeast Pacific kelp forest ecosystems. I tested this question using laboratory mesocosm experiments. Sea urchins were acclimated to ambient (pCO₂ ~ 500 μatm, pH ~ 8.0) or acidified (pCO₂ ~ 1000 μatm, pH ~ 7.7) conditions, with or without a caged sea star, for 22 weeks in a recirculating seawater system. In Chapter 2, I investigated the effects of OA on the growth, calcification, and feeding rate of P. helianthoides. High CO₂ had a significant positive effect on sea star growth, but no effect on calcified tissue mass. In addition, the consumption rate of turban snails (Chlorostoma funebralis) by sea stars was significantly higher in the high CO₂ treatment. In Chapter 3, I examined the effects of OA on the responses of S. franciscanus to sea star cues. Predator presence and high CO₂ negatively and additively affected sea urchin growth rates, but did not affect alarm responses to predator cues. Significantly higher grazing rates on kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) were also observed in the presence of predators. Predators, but not CO₂, had a significant negative effect on urchin calcified mass. Urchin spine length was also significantly reduced under acidified conditions. Overall, these findings suggest P. helianthoides responds positively to ocean acidification, but S. franciscanus may suffer reduced fitness at seawater pCO₂ levels predicted for the end of the century. Differential effects of ocean acidification on this predator-prey pair could increase the strength of the trophic interaction and lead to stronger top-down control in the future.

description: We study substitution tilings that are also discrete plane tilings, that is, satisfy a relaxed version of cut-and-projection. We prove that the Sub Rosa substitution tilings with a 2n-fold rotational symmetry for odd n greater than 5 defined by Kari and Rissanen are not discrete planes, and therefore not cut-and-project tilings either. We then define new Planar Rosa substitution tilings with a 2n-fold rotational symmetry for any odd n, and show that these satisfy the discrete plane condition. The tilings we consider are edge-to-edge rhombus tilings. We give an explicit construction for the 10-fold case, and provide a construction method for the general case of any odd n.

description: Uniaxial nematic liquid crystals are modelled in the Oseen-Frank theory through a unit vector field $n$. This theory has the apparent drawback that it does not respect the head-to-tail symmetry in which $n$ should be equivalent to -$n$. This symmetry is preserved in the constrained Landau-de Gennes theory that works with the tensor $Q=s\big(n\otimes n- \frac{1}{3} Id\big)$.We study the differences and the overlaps between the two theories. These depend on the regularity class used as well as on the topology of the underlying domain. We show that for simply-connected domains and in the natural energy class $W^{1,2}$ the two theories coincide, but otherwise there can be differences between the two theories, which we identify. In the case of planar domains we completely characterise the instances in which the predictions of the constrained Landau-de Gennes theory differ from those of the Oseen-Frank theory.

description: This article provides an overview of xenophobia during the First World War - namely, the ways in which the conflict was justified and sustained by the growth of hatred for external enemies, and increasingly perceived internal ones. It discusses the inculcation of xenophobia by wartime governments and societal elites, and explores the manifestations of such hatreds on the ground in the form of atrocities and war crimes. The essay concludes by locating xenophobia during the First World War within the wider sweep of 20th century history, and the racial hatreds so central to its successor conflict between 1939 and 1945.

Nutrient management effects on soil quality, microbial community composition, and nitrogen cycling in tall fescue forage grass production systems
Creators: name: Neufeld, Katarina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: In the Fraser Valley of southwest BC, dairy production is an important industry but large numbers of dairy cows present challenges for manure management. Dairy manure is a valuable source of plant nutrients, yet surplus application may lead to N loss through NO₃- leaching and N₂O emissions. Removing solids from whole dairy manure reduces the organic N and C contents, potentially improving crop N uptake, but reducing soil microbial activity compared to whole manure. The objective of this study was to quantify long term effects of contrasting nutrient applications to perennial grass on soil microbial activity and community structure, and to test relationships with soil properties and rates of N transformation. Microbial community structure and activity (biomass, phospholipid fatty acid biomarkers, hydrolyzing enzyme activities) and N dynamics (net mineralization and nitrification, lysimeter leachate NO₃-, N₂O emissions) were measured in 2013 and 2014 on a stand of tall fescue (Fetusca arundinacea Schreb.) established in 2002 at Agassiz, BC, on soils receiving: whole dairy slurry manure, separated liquid fraction, NH₄NO₃ fertilizer, or alternating manure-fertilizer (all applied at 400 kg N/ha/yr equivalent) four times per year. In the autumn of 2013, the nitirifcation inhibitor, Nitrapyrin®, was applied to sub-plots of each treatment to assess its potential to minimize N losses from nutrient amendments. Soil in plots receiving whole or liquid manure had higher microbial biomass than plots receiving commercial fertilizer or unamended plots, and higher activity of cellulose-degrading enzymes than plots receiving no amendment. Both microbial biomass and cellobiosidase activity (cellulose-degrading enzyme) were positively correlated with total soil C, N, and P. Fungal:bacterial ratios were higher in control and whole manure than fertilizer and liquid treatments. Emissions of N₂O and concentrations of NO₃- in leachate were consistently positively correlated with abundance of bacterial biomarkers, but not total microbial biomass. N mineralization and nitrification were not correlated with any microbial group, but were positively correlated with NO₃- in leachate. The nitrification inhibitor Nitrapyrin® had no significant impact on soil inorganic N concentrations, N mineralization or nitrification, or N₂O emissions, however it increased soil microbial biomass and changed community structure and surprisingly increased NO₃- leachate.

description: The Danish government succeeded in maintaining neutrality and thus sparing the country from the most devastating consequences of the war. Denmark spent considerable effort in maintaining good relations with both Germany and Great Britain, its most important trading partners, while being careful not to incur the wrath of either side. Danish businessmen benefitted immensely from the increased prices that accompanied supply problems as the war drew on, earning the nickname “goulash barons” because of the tinned food (of questionable quality) they exported to Germany.

description: The recovery of a spherically-symmetric wave speed $v$ is considered in a bounded spherical region of radius $b$ from the set of the corresponding transmission eigenvalues for which the corresponding eigenfunctions are also spherically symmetric. If the integral of $1/v$ on the interval $[0,b]$ is less than $b,$ assuming that there exists at least one $v$ corresponding to the data, it is shown that $v$ is uniquely determined by the data consisting of such transmission eigenvalues and their "multiplicities," where the "multiplicity" is defined as the multiplicity of the transmission eigenvalue as a zero of a key quantity. When that integral is equal to $b,$ the unique recovery is obtained when the data contains one additional piece of information. Some similar results are presented for the unique determination of the potential from the transmission eigenvalues with "multiplicities" for a related Schrödinger equation.

In this context, we study numerically the influence of long-range correlated disorder on the localization behavior in one dimensional systems. We investigate the localization length and the density of states and compare our numerical results with analytical predictions. Specifically, we find two distinct characteristic behaviors in the vicinity of the band center and at the unperturbed band edge, respectively. Furthermore we address the effect of the intrinsic short-range correlations.

description: Due to an excellent mass resolution and a large amount of available data, the CDF experiment, located at the Tevatron proton-antiproton accelerator, allows the precise measurement of spectroscopic properties, like mass and decay width, of a variety of states. This was exploited to examine the first orbital excitations of the Lambdac baryon, the resonances Lambdac(2595) and Lambdac(2625), in the decay channel Lambdac+ pi+ pi-, as well as the Lambdac spin excitations Sigmac(2455) and Sigmac(2520) in its decays to Lambdac+ pi- and Lambdac+ pi+ final states in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.2 invfb. We present measurements of the mass differences with respect to the Lambdac and the decay widths of these states, using significantly higher statistics than previous experiments.

description: We study quantum hypothesis testing between orthogonal states under restricted local measurements in the many-copy scenario. For testing arbitrary multipartite entangled pure state against its orthogonal complement state via the local operation and classical communication (LOCC) operation, we prove that the optimal average error probability always decays exponentially in the number of copies. Second, we provide a sufficient condition for the LOCC operations to achieve the same performance as the positive-partial-transpose (PPT) operations. We further show that testing a maximally entangled state against its orthogonal complement and testing extremal Werner states both fulfill the above-mentioned condition. Hence, we determine the explicit expressions for the optimal average error probability, the optimal trade-off between the type-I and type-II errors, and the associated Chernoff, Stein, Hoeffding, and strong converse exponents.
 Then, we show an infinite asymptotic separation between the separable (SEP) and PPT operations by providing a pair of states constructed from an unextendible product basis (UPB). The quantum states can be distinguished perfectly by PPT operations, while the optimal error probability, with SEP operations, admits an exponential lower bound. On the technical side, we prove this result by providing a quantitative version of the well-known statement that the tensor product of UPBs is a UPB.

description: In the present universe visible and dark matter contribute comparable energy density although they have different properties. This coincidence can be elegantly explained if the dark matter relic density, originating from a dark matter asymmetry, is fully determined by the baryon asymmetry. Thus the dark matter mass is not arbitrary, rather becomes predictive. We realize this scenario in baryon(lepton) number conserving models where two or more neutral singlet scalars decay into two or three baryonic(leptonic) dark matter scalars, and also decay into quarks(leptons) through other on-shell and/or off-shell exotic scalar bilinears. The produced baryon(lepton) asymmetries in the dark matter scalar and in the standard model quarks(leptons) are thus equal and opposite. The dark matter mass can be predicted in a range from a few GeV to a few TeV depending on the baryon(lepton) numbers of the decaying scalars and the dark matter scalar. The dark matter scalar can interact with the visible matter through the exchange of the standard model Higgs boson, opening a window for the dark matter direct detection experiments. These models also provide testable predictions in the searches for the exotic scalar bilinears at LHC.

description: We briefly review the lepton flavor violating Z-decays at GigaZ as a probe of supersymmetry by focusing on $Z \to \ell_i \overline{\ell}_j$ in two representative supersymmetric models: the minimal supersymmetric model without R-parity and the supersymmetric seesaw model. We conclude that under the current experimental constraints from LEP and $\ell_i\to \ell_j γ$, these rare decays can still be enhanced to reach the sensitivity of the GigaZ. Therefore, supersymmetry can be probed via these decays at GigaZ.

description: The magnetorotational instability (MRI) is believed to be responsible for most of the angular momentum transport in accretion discs. However, molecular dissipation processes may drastically change the efficiency of MRI turbulence in realistic astrophysical situations. The physical origin of this dependency is still poorly understood as linear and quasi linear theories fail to explain it. In this paper, we look for the link between molecular dissipation processes and MRI transport of angular momentum in non stratified shearing box simulations including a mean vertical field. We show that magnetic helicity is unimportant in the model we consider. We perform a spectral analysis on the simulations tracking energy exchanges in spectral space when turbulence is fully developed. We find that the energy exchanges are essentially direct (from large to small scale) whereas some non linear interactions appear to be non local in spectral space. We speculate that these non local interactions are responsible for the correlation between turbulent transport and molecular dissipation. We argue that this correlation should then disappear when a significant scale separation is achieved and we discuss several methods by which one can test this hypothesis.

Low energy shape oscillations of negative parity in the main and shape-isomeric minima in actinides

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: We study low energy shape oscillations of negative parity in the first and second (isomeric) minima in actinides. As a main tool we use the phenomenological Woods-Saxon potential with a variety of shape deformations. This allows to include a mixing of various multipolarities when considering oscillations with a fixed $K$ quantum number. The phonon energies are determined either from the collective Hamiltonian with the microscopic-macrocopic energy and cranking mass parameters, or from its simplified version with the constant mass parameters. The results for $K^π=0^-$,$1^-$ in the first minima are in a reasonable agreement with experimental data, including predicted E1 transitions; the $K^π=2^-$ energies are systematically overestimated. In the second minimum, as compared to the data for $^{240}$Pu and $^{236}$U, our calculated $K=$1,2 energies are overestimated while the $K=0$ energies are three or more times too large. This signals either a non-collective character of the experimentally assigned $K=0$ states or a serious flaw of the model in the second minimum. More data on the $K=0$, $I^π=1^-$ collective states in the second minima of other nuclei are necessary to resolve this issue.

This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.

description: Την τελευταία δεκαετία έχει κάνει εντονότερη την παρουσία και την δυναμική της μια σχετικά νέα κατηγορία κατασκευαστικών τεχνικών, οι μέθοδοι της προσθετικής Κατασκευής (Additive Manufacturing) ή Τριδιάστατης Εκτύπωσης (3D Printing). Η συγκεκριμένη οικογένεια μεθόδων φαίνεται να προσελκύει το ενδιαφέρον των ανθρώπων που ασχολούνται με τα επιτραπέζια παιχνίδια, καθώς ερασιτέχνες και επαγγελματίες είναι ανοιχτοί σε νέους τρόπους παραγωγής φιγούρων. Βασικά χαρακτηριστικά της προσθετικής κατασκευής που φαίνεται να την καθιστούν καλή επιλογή για την παραγωγή μοντέλων για επιτραπέζια παιχνίδια είναι ο ψηφιακός της χαρακτήρας, η σχετική ταχύτητα κατασκευής και η δυνατότητα παραγωγή αρκετά πολύπλοκων γεωμετρικών μορφών. Η προσθετική κατασκευή, ωστόσο, περιλαμβάνει πολλές και διάφορετικές μεθόδους, που διαφέρουν αρκετά από άποψη τεχνολογικής ωριμότητας, χαρακτηριστικών και δυνατοτήτων. Η επιλογή, λοιπόν, μιας μεθόδου για τη συγκεκριμένη εφαρμογή δεν είναι κάτι απλό καθώς πρέπει να εκτιμηθούν τα θετικά και τα αρνητικά χαρακτηριστικά κάθε τεχνικής, έχοντας ως βασικά κριτήρια το κόστος, την ποιότητα και την ταχύτητα κατασκευής. Το τελικό ερώτημα είναι εάν και σε ποιο βαθμό μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί μια μέθοδος τριδιάστατης εκτύπωσης στην παραγωγή μοντέλων μικρού μεγέθους αντί της καθιερωμένης μεθόδου της χύτευσης με έγχυση ακριβείας. Αυτά τα δύο ερωτήματα, ποια τεχνολογία Προσθετικής Κατασκευής / Τριδιάστατης Εκτύπωσης θα ήταν η καταλληλότερη για την παραγωγή μοντέλων για επιτραπέζια παιχνίδια και κατά πόσο η επιλεχθείσα μέθοδος μπορεί να αντικαταστήσει καθιερωμένες μεθόδους παραγωγής, αποτελούν τα βασικά ζητούμενα της παρούσας μελέτης.

Diffuse X-ray Emissions from Dynamic Planetary Nebulae

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

description: We present theoretical results of a piecewise isothermal shock wind model devised for predicting the luminosity and surface brightness profile of diffuse X-ray emissions primarily from the inner shocked downstream wind zone of a planetary nebula (PN) surrounded by self-similar shocked dense shell and outer slow AGB wind envelope involving self-gravity and compare/fit our computational model results with available observations of a few grossly spherical X-ray emitting PNe. Matching shocked piecewise isothermal self-similar void (ISSV) solutions with self-gravity of Lou & Zhai (LZ) for the outer zone and a stationary isothermal fast tenuous wind with a reverse shock for the inner zone across an expanding contact discontinuity, we can consistently construct dynamic evolution models of PNe with diffuse X-ray emissions. On the basis of such a chosen dynamic wind interaction model, both X-ray luminosity and radial X-ray brightness profile are determined by three key parameters, namely the so-called X-ray parameter $X$, two radii $R_{rs}$ and $R_c$ of the reverse shock and the contact discontinuity. We find that morphologies of X-ray emissions would appear in the forms of either a central luminous sphere or a bright ring embedded within optically bright shells. In contrast to previous adiabatic models, the X-ray brightness peaks around the reverse shock, instead of the contact discontinuity surface just inside the outer shocked dense shell. Diffuse X-ray emissions of a few observed PNe appear to support this wind-wind dynamic interaction scenario.

description: We consider a theory of quantum thermodynamics with multiple conserved quantities (or charges). To this end, we generalize the seminal results of Sparaciari et al. [PRA 96:052112, 2017] to the case of multiple, in general non-commuting charges, for which we formulate a resource theory of thermodynamics of asymptotically many non-interacting systems. To every state we associate the vector of its expected charge values and its entropy, forming the phase diagram of the system. Our fundamental result is the Asymptotic Equivalence Theorem (AET), which allows us to identify the equivalence classes of states under asymptotic approximately charge-conserving unitaries with the points of the phase diagram.
 Using the phase diagram of a system and its bath, we analyze the first and the second laws of thermodynamics. In particular, we show that to attain the second law, an asymptotically large bath is necessary. In the case that the bath is composed of several identical copies of the same elementary bath, we quantify exactly how large the bath has to be to permit a specified work transformation of a given system, in terms of the number of copies of the elementary bath systems per work system (bath rate). If the bath is relatively small, we show that the analysis requires an extended phase diagram exhibiting negative entropies. This corresponds to the purely quantum effect that at the end of the process, system and bath are entangled, thus permitting classically impossible transformations. For a large bath, system and bath may be left uncorrelated and we show that the optimal bath rate, as a function of how tightly the second law is attained, can be expressed in terms of the heat capacity of the bath.
 Our approach solves a problem from earlier investigations about how to store the different charges under optimal work extraction protocols in physically separate batteries.

A BPMN-Based Process Map for the Design and Construction of Façades

Publisher: name: Journal of Facade Design and Engineering
Year: 2013

description: Process mapping can lead to significant efficiency and quality improvements in construction engineering and is an ideal basis for developing IT support tools. The increasing complexity and multidisciplinary nature of façade design and construction suggest that a process map would be beneficial in this sector of the construction industry, but it has received limited attention to date. This paper presents a verified process map of the façade design and construction process. The map is the first of its kind to represent, in detail, the whole process relevant to all façade types, from commencement of the façade consultant’s and contactor’s participation, to the end of their involvement. The paper describes the process by which the mapping notation was selected, followed by the development and verification of the process map, including testing in two independent research projects. The BuildingSMART’s BPMN notation is found to have superior system features and comprehensibility for this application and the resulting process map is easy to interpret and verify by industry experts. The trialling of the map in the two research projects indicate that the map is a useful tool for assessing process improvements in the façades sector.

description: The results obtained in Mainz in 1982 year were check up. The analysis of data from this work was made at momentum transfer range $q = 0.25 ÷0.75 fm^{-1}$ using the model independent form factor (the expansion of form factor in a power series of $q^2$) and the form factor corresponding to the distribution of charge density in the shell model framework. We found a 3% systematical overestimation in Mainz data.

Regularity of minimal surfaces : a self-contained proof
Creators: name: Mather, Kevin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: In this thesis, a self-contained proof is given of the regularity of minimal surfaces via viscosity solutions, following the ideas of L.Caffarelli,X.Cabré [2], O.Savin[11][12], E.Giusti[7] and J.Roquejoffre[8], where we expand upon the ideas and give full details on the approach. Basically the proof of the program consists of four parts: 1) Density and measure estimates, 2) Viscosity solution methods of elliptic equations , 3) a geometric Harnack inequality and 4) iteration of the De Giorgi ﬂatness result.

description: We derive sharp strong convergence rates for the Euler-Maruyama scheme approximating multidimensional SDEs with multiplicative noise without imposing any regularity condition on the drift coefficient. In case the noise is additive, we show that Sobolev regularity can be leveraged to obtain improved rate: drifts with regularity of order $α\in (0,1)$ lead to rate $(1+α)/2$.

Publisher: name: Journal of Facade Design and Engineering

description: This paper is part of a general research project whose main objective is to establish a baseline for post-occupancy energy consumption and indoor environmental quality for office buildings in Santiago, Chile. This study aims at understanding how architectonical variables relate to, and can even determine, user comfort perception. Thus, one-year continuous monitoring in several floors at four office buildings was performed and seasonal surveys were completed. Survey participants were asked a series of questions regarding spatial orientation and comfort perception in their workspace. The data from the comfort survey and onsite measurements such as season of the year, case study, type of workspace and possibility of an outdoor view from the workstation were contrasted with the components obtained by a Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Three components were selected from the PCA, and three Maps of Perception (MP) were produced. These maps were then analyzed and interpreted so as to obtain information on the general perception of thermal and lighting comfort at workspaces within several office buildings in Santiago.

Periodicities in the coronal rotation and sunspot numbers

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: The present study is an attempt to investigate the long term variations in coronal rotation by analyzing the time series of the solar radio emission data at 2.8 GHz frequency for the period 1947 - 2009. Here, daily adjusted radio flux (known as Penticton flux) data are used. The autocorrelation analysis shows that the rotation period varies between 19.0 to 29.5 sidereal days (mean sidereal rotation period is 24.3 days). This variation in the coronal rotation period shows evidence of two components in the variation; (1) 22-years component which may be related to the solar magnetic field reversal cycle or Hale's cycle, and (3) a component which is irregular in nature, but dominates over the other components. The crosscorrelation analysis between the annual average sunspots number and the coronal rotation period also shows evidence of its correlation with the 22-years Hale's cycle. The 22-years component is found to be almost in phase with the corresponding periodicities in the variation of the sunspots number.

Molecular imaging using high-order harmonic generation and above-threshold ionization

Year: 2011

description: Accurate molecular imaging via high-order harmonic generation relies on comparing the harmonic emission from a molecule and an adequate reference system. However, an ideal reference atom with the same ionization properties as the molecule does not always exist. We show that for suitably designed, very short laser pulses, a one-to-one mapping between high-order harmonic frequencies and electron momenta in above-threshold ionization exists. Comparing molecular and atomic momentum distributions then provides the electron return amplitude in the molecule for every harmonic frequency. We show that the method retrieves the molecular recombination transition moments highly accurately, even with suboptimal reference atoms.
