Stability of Abrikosov lattices under gauge-periodic perturbations

description: We consider Abrikosov-type vortex lattice solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations of superconductivity, consisting of single vortices, for magnetic fields below but close to the second critical magnetic field H_{c2} = kappa^2 and for superconductors filling the entire R^2. Here kappa is the Ginzburg-Landau parameter. The lattice shape, parameterized by tau, is allowed to be arbitrary (not just triangular or rectangular). Within the context of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations, called the Gorkov-Eliashberg-Schmidt equations, we prove that such lattices are asymptotically stable under gauge periodic perturbations for kappa^2 > (1/2)(1 - (1/beta(tau)) and unstable for kappa^2 < (1/2)(1 - (1/beta(tau)), where beta(tau) is the Abrikosov constant depending on the lattice shape tau. This result goes against the common belief among physicists and mathematicians that Abrikosov-type vortex lattice solutions are stable only for triangular lattices and kappa^2 > 1/2. (There is no real contradiction though as we consider very special perturbations.)

Minimum flexural reinforcement for punching resistance of concrete slabs
Creators: name: Peiris, Hettiyadurage Chandana Thilina
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 252-269
description: This thesis presents a new design criterion for punching shear strength of flat-plates. Slabs at their connections with columns can fail due to punching shear or flexure. When the primary failure is by flexure, it can trigger a secondary failure by punching. Experimental verification of this phenomenon is presented. The punching shear design equations in the Canadian Standard, CSA A23.3-2004 and the American Concrete Institute Building Code, ACI 318-2011 conservatively predict the punching strength of slabs only when the provided amount of flexural reinforcement is sufficient to resist the corresponding bending moment. The new criterion can predict the punching shear strength for slabs having any amount of flexural reinforcement. The criterion is based on the punching shear design equations in CSA A23.3-2004 or ACI 318- 2011 codes supplemented by the yield-line theory. The new criterion is: For a reinforced concrete slab, with or without shear reinforcement, subjected to the transfer of a concentric or eccentric shear force at a column connection, the governing nominal strength is the smaller of the shear force capacity predicted by the yield­line theory and the shear force capacity based on the punching shear equations in the applicable code. The safety with the new criterion is verified using the results of published tests and the results of three dimensional nonlinear finite element analyses. A higher level of safety can be achieved when the design for punching shear is based on the new criterion combined with the current CSA A23.3-2004 or ACI 318-2011 codes. The new criterion predicts a lower punching strength compared to the codes only when the flexural reinforcement ratio at the slab-column connection is relatively low. The new criterion specifies the minimum amount of flexural reinforcement in a flat plate, at column connections, to resist the specified eccentric or concentric shear force. Provision of the minimum amount of flexural reinforcement ensures that the slab does not fail prematurely by flexure due to the development of a local yield-line mechanism.
Contrasts in electron correlations and inelastic scattering between LiFeAs and LiFeP revealed by charge transport

description: By using high-quality single crystals, we quantitatively compare the transport properties between LiFeAs and LiFeP superconductors with compensated electron and hole carriers. The low-temperature resistivity follows the Fermi-liquid $AT^2$ dependence with a factor of $\sim 3$ difference in the coefficient $A$. This highlights weaker electron correlations in LiFeP, which is consistent with its $\sim 70$ times lower upper critical field than that of LiFeAs. Our analysis of the magneto-transport data indicates that in LiFeP the electron carriers with lighter masses exhibit stronger temperature dependence of inelastic scattering rate than the holes, which is the opposite to the LiFeAs case. This stark difference in the band-dependent inelastic scattering may be relevant to the recently reported contrasting superconducting gap structures in these two superconductors.

Post Walrasian and Post Marxian Economics
Creators: name: Stiglitz, Joseph E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1993
Subjects: Economics

description: It is widely believed that the failure of the socialist experiment should have had a devastating effect on radical economics. Yet radical economics is not only alive and well, but flourishing, as the paper by Bowles and Gintis demonstrates. Years before the official demise of Marxist-socialism, they had broadened their critique of standard economics well beyond the received Marxist literature. Indeed, their arguments offered striking parallels with the mainstream critiques of Walrasian economics provided by the newly developing strand of thought which, for brevity, I shall refer to as "information economics."

Graviton Vertices and the Mapping of Anomalous Correlators to Momentum Space for a General Conformal Field Theory

description: We investigate the mapping of conformal correlators and of their anomalies from configuration to momentum space for general dimensions, focusing on the anomalous correlators $TOO$, $TVV$ - involving the energy-momentum tensor $(T)$ with a vector $(V)$ or a scalar operator ($O$) - and the 3-graviton vertex $TTT$. We compute the $TOO$, $TVV$ and $TTT$ one-loop vertex functions in dimensional regularization for free field theories involving conformal scalar, fermion and vector fields. Since there are only one or two independent tensor structures solving all the conformal Ward identities for the $TOO$ or $TVV$ vertex functions respectively, and three independent tensor structures for the $TTT$ vertex, and the coefficients of these tensors are known for free fields, it is possible to identify the corresponding tensors in momentum space from the computation of the correlators for free fields. This works in general $d$ dimensions for $TOO$ and $TVV$ correlators, but only in 4 dimensions for $TTT$, since vector fields are conformal only in $d=4$. In this way the general solution of the Ward identities including anomalous ones for these correlators in (Euclidean) position space, found by Osborn and Petkou is mapped to the ordinary diagrammatic one in momentum space. We give simplified expressions of all these correlators in configuration space which are explicitly Fourier integrable and provide a diagrammatic interpretation of all the contact terms arising when two or more of the points coincide. We discuss how the anomalies arise in each approach [...]

Asymmetric Information in Credit Markets and Its Implications for Macroeconomics

name: Weiss, Andrew
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1992
Subjects: Economics

description: In this paper we investigate the macroeconomic equilibria of an economy in which credit contracts have both the adverse selection and incentive effects. The terms of credit contracts include both an interest rate and a collateral requirement. We show that in this richer model all types of borrowers may be rationed. Whether or not the economy is in a rationing regime, interest rates charged borrowers may move either pro- or counter-cyclically. If pro-cyclical shocks have a greater effect on the success probabilities of risky techniques than on safe ones, then the interest rate offered depositors may also move counter-cyclically. Increases in the supply of loanable assets can increase or decrease the average interest rate charged borrowers. Finally, we show that the impact of monetary policy on the macroeconomic equilibrium is affected by whether or not the economy is in a regime in which credit is rationed.

description: The Rosse Solar-Terrestrial Observatory (RSTO; www.rosseobservatory.ie) was established at Birr Castle, Co. Offaly, Ireland (53 05'38.9", 7 55'12.7") in 2010 to study solar radio bursts and the response of the Earth's ionosphere and geomagnetic field. To date, three Compound Astronomical Low-cost Low-frequency Instrument for Spectroscopy and Transportable Observatory (CALLISTO) spectrometers have been installed, with the capability of observing in the frequency range 10-870 MHz. The receivers are fed simultaneously by biconical and log-periodic antennas. Nominally, frequency spectra in the range 10-400 MHz are obtained with 4 sweeps per second over 600 channels. Here, we describe the RSTO solar radio spectrometer set-up, and present dynamic spectra of a sample of Type II, III and IV radio bursts. In particular, we describe fine-scale structure observed in Type II bursts, including band splitting and rapidly varying herringbone features.

description: Epidemiological and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have shown high correlation between childhood obesity and advance in puberty. Early age at menarche is associated with a series of morbidities, including breast cancer, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. The adipocyte hormone leptin signals the amount of fat stores to the neuroendocrine reproductive axis via direct actions in the brain. Using mouse genetics, we and others have identified the hypothalamic ventral premammillary nucleus (PMv) and the agouti-related protein (AgRP) neurons in the arcuate nucleus (Arc) as primary targets of leptin action in pubertal maturation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying leptin's effects remain unknown. Here we assessed changes in the PMv and Arc transcriptional program during leptin-stimulated and typical pubertal development using overlapping analysis of bulk RNA sequecing, TRAP sequencing, and the published database. Our findings demonstrate that dynamic somatodendritic remodeling and extracellular space organization underlie leptin-induced and typical pubertal maturation in female mice.
Women of colour in education: an exploration of minority teacher experiences

Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 134-141
description: This research explores the lived experiences of a group of visible minority women who teach or have taught in the K-12 education system. Through narrative inquiry these women speak to and reflect on their experiences of discrimination, marginalization, empowerment, and aspirations as teachers within the ethnocentric model of Canadian education. These women deconstruct and analyze the idea of "woman of colour" as a place of being and representation. The women describe their experiences, thoughts and hopes as places of tension, compromise, and silence as they practice their own form of critical pedagogy and consciousness. One of the main research findings is how complex and multi-layered identity markers serve to represent and navigate the experiences of visible minority women. Subsequently, resiliency as an intrinsic form of knowing and acting in the personal and professional lives of these women is apparent from the negotiations of their identities as "Canadian." Through their work as educators we see the immense importance of knowledge that they, and others like them, contribute to the vast and growing ideology around diverse ways of knowing and teaching in Canadian schools.

description: Recently, there is a growing interest in the wetland management for biodiversity and preservation of ecosystem. One of the problems of the wetland management is climate change due to the global warming, and many studies have shown that the climate change influence on wetlands. Therefore, in this study, we estimated impact of climate change on wetland functions such as hydrologic, biogeochemical, plant habitat, and animal habitat functions. The study site is the Upo wetland in Korea which is the largest natural wetland in Korea, and the wetland is designated as a 'Protected Wetland' by the international Ramsar Convention. We assessed impact of climate change on the wetland functions using climate scenario, climate model, and analysis techniques of climate change. We performed functional assessment of wetland using Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) method. As a result, we found that the about 10% of wetland functions of will change in the future due to the climate change. This case study could be useful as a reference for the future wetland management planning.

Monopolistic Competition and Optimum Product Diversity: Reply

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1993
Subjects: Economics

description: In the article, authors present a reply to the work of economists, Xiaokai Yang and Ben J. Heijdra, which commented on economic model on monopolistic competition. Authors state that their model on monopolistic competition and product diversity was intended for the large-group case. The underlying monopolistically competitive equilibrium of a symmetric group is governed by two conditions. Firstly, each firm's maximization equates marginal revenue and marginal cost. Secondly, free entry equates average revenue and average cost. Authors state that Yang and Heijdra destroy their own criticism when they assume that cross elasticities are negligible. Authors agree that the equilibrium based on their approximation needs a constant ratio of average and marginal utilities which is possible with the help of a constant elasticity of demand. However, Yang and Heijdra's modification can only shift the equilibrium in a small way when the number of products is large. The cost function in the model given by authors had a fixed component with constant marginal cost, thus the problem of inconsistency among cost of production and the demand relation in equilibrium does not arise.

description: Compressed sensing is a method that allows a significant reduction in the number of samples required for accurate measurements in many applications in experimental sciences and engineering. In this work, we show that compressed sensing can also be used to speed up numerical simulations. We apply compressed sensing to extract information from the real-time simulation of atomic and molecular systems, including electronic and nuclear dynamics. We find that for the calculation of vibrational and optical spectra the total propagation time, and hence the computational cost, can be reduced by approximately a factor of five.

description: Women who experienced childhood sexual abuse (CSA) are primarily represented thereafter in a discourse of effects by academics, professionals, and the public. The effects discourse focuses on how women are damaged and relationally impaired by CSA, which can be limiting for women in their efforts to make sense of this experience. A response­based discourse is proposed as an empowering alternative, honouring and giving voice to the diverse ways in which women respond to CSA and develop healthy intimate relationships. Drawing upon the approaches of Dr. Allan Wade's response-based therapy and narrative therapy, the present study aimed to explore how women articulate personal stories of healthy intimacy post-CSA through this alternative discourse. This study suggests that the response-based discourse can be offered as a supplementary alternative to the discourse of effects through purposeful questions that recognize participants' pre­existing abilities.

Authoritarian resilience in China : an examination of elite politics in the post-reform era
Creators: name: Tang, Teresa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: With a membership of more than 73 million, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the largest and possibly the most influential political party in the world. Since decades ago, Western academics have sought to understand the functions of the Party in an effort to predict the potential for democracy in China. Many had forecasted that with the growth of the Chinese middle class and the economy, democracy was surely the next step in China’s transformation. To date, such forecasts have been proven wrong. The continued existence of China’s one-party regime prompts the question of what makes such an authoritarian system so resilient? This thesis seeks to answer the question by employing an eclectic approach that examines both state-society relations and elite politics. It posits that authoritarian resilience in China is the result of the CCP’s ability to suppress grassroots mobilization as well as its ability to prevent a split among the party elites. By examining the leadership succession process, factionalism, and central leadership demographics—the argument is made that power-sharing and collective decision-making have now become the norms of elite politics in China. Such attributes pose an impediment for an elite-driven democratization process.

description: We examine a situation in which insurance is characterized by moral hazard. When market insurance is provided, supplementary mutual assistance between family and friends (unobservable to market insurers) will occur. When nonmarket insurers have no better information than market insurers, the mutual assistance not only crowds out market insurance but is also harmful and therefore dysfunctional Alternatively, when nonmarket insurers can observe each other's effort perfectly, mutual assistance is beneficial These results point to the potential importance of peer-monitoring mechanisms in mitigating moral hazard.

description: The gauge-extended U(1)_C \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_{I_R} \times U(1)_L model has the attractive property of elevating the two major global symmetries of the standard model (baryon number B and lepton number L) to local gauge symmetries. The U(1)_L symmetry prevents the generation of Majorana masses, leading to three superweakly interacting right-handed neutrinos. This also renders a B-L symmetry non-anomalous. We show that the superweak interactions of these Dirac states (through their coupling to the TeV-scale B-L gauge boson) permit right-handed neutrino decoupling just above the QCD phase transition: 175 MeV < T_{ν_R}^{dec} < 250 MeV. In this transitional region, the residual temperature ratio between ν_L and ν_R generates extra relativistic degrees of freedom at BBN and at the CMB epochs. Consistency (within 1σ) with both WMAP 7-year data and the most recent estimate of the primordial ^4He mass fraction is achieved for 3 TeV < M_{B-L} < 6 TeV. The model is fully predictive, and can be confronted with dijet and dilepton data (or lack thereof) from LHC7 and, eventually, LHC14.

description: Bibliography: p. 189-202
description: This mixed-methods study explored the experiences of ten individuals who were adopted near birth in relation to attachment, belonging, and the impact on close relationships. Participants completed three questionnaires (a questionnaire with demographic information, a measure of attachment within the family of origin, and a measure of attachment within adult relationships) and a semi-structured interview. Participants responses from the interview and the questionnaires were the main sources of data in addition to researcher journals. Data analysis was guided by hermeneutic phenomenology. The themes that were identified include: "Having Knowledge of Adoption Context," "Thinking and Talking about Adoption," "Attitudes on Adoption," "Searching and Reuniting," "Experiencing a Sense of Belonging and Identity," "Attitudes and Beliefs on Being in Close Relationships," "Experiences in Close Relationships are Varied," and "Adoption as a Paradox." These themes are discussed in light of research on attachment, adoption, and belonging. Future recommendations and implications for counselling are discussed.

In Calamity's wake

description: In Calamity's Wake is a feminist Canadian Western about a woman who hunts across the badlands of Alberta to the badlands of South Dakota for the mother who gave her up for adoption - the infamous cross-dressing frontierswoman Calamity Jane. With this novel I construct a "meta-historiographic" fiction in the tradition described by Linda Hutcheon in her book, The Canadian Postmodern. Rather than attempt to restore Calamity Jane to coherence, with this book I try to create through Calamity Jane a discursive construct that explodes the linear, coherent narrative of a mostly white, mostly male Old West. I do this to create a new Western that promotes the resistance of violence as a form of heroism and suggests that what women owe to each other, what the feminist/maternal legacy really is, is stories of women's diversity. These stories do not constitute a coherent or a linear tradition, but their circulation helps women to navigate themselves within a wider context. Highlighting diverse precedents contextualizes a broader array of women within the discursive construct of "woman" in history and, in giving women stories against which they may measure their own actions, this novel seeks to provide a mode of redress to the historic exclusion of alternate narratives by gesturing towards the multiplication of stories through the technique of pastiche. The novel is followed by a critical exegesis in the form of an afterword in which I provide critical context for the creative work arranged around the central questions I asked myself as I was writing: Why a Western? Why Calamity Jane? Why a feminist text? Why a mother/daughter story? Each of these questions provides a framework for discussing the history of the novel's production, an exploration of its critical and aesthetic influences, and some explanation of the purpose behind many stylistic decisions.

description: We experimentally demonstrate a general criterion to identify entangled states useful for the estimation of an unknown phase shift with a sensitivity higher than the shot-noise limit. We show how to exploit this entanglement on the examples of a maximum likelihood as well as of a Bayesian phase estimation protocol. Using an entangled four-photon state we achieve a phase sensitivity clearly beyond the shot-noise limit. Our detailed comparison of methods and quantum states for entanglement enhanced metrology reveals the connection between multiparticle entanglement and sub-shot-noise uncertainty, both in a frequentist and in a Bayesian phase estimation setting.

description: Objective: To identify factors associated with hospitalizations for acute complications in adults with type 1 diabetes. Within this thesis, three discrete studies were conducted which assessed 1) clinical and sociodemographic factors; 2) driving distance to diabetes care sites; and, 3) seasonality. Methods: This thesis used clinical, administrative, and geographic data. Analysis included descriptive statistics, logistic regression models, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) methodology. Results: The results showed: 1) Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) hospitalization was associated with shorter duration of diabetes, higher hemoglobin Ale, gastroparesis, and psychiatric disorders. Hypoglycemia hospitalization was associated with longer duration of diabetes and neuropathy; 2) Driving distance to diabetes care sites overall was not associated with hospitalizations; and, 3) DKA and hypoglycemia hospitalizations had seasonal variation. Conclusions: This thesis identified unique factors associated with hospitalizations for acute complications. This information could inform specific initiatives to improve the health and well being of adults with type 1 diabetes.

One Decade of Universal Artificial Intelligence
Creators: name: Hutter, Marcus
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The first decade of this century has seen the nascency of the first mathematical theory of general artificial intelligence. This theory of Universal Artificial Intelligence (UAI) has made significant contributions to many theoretical, philosophical, and practical AI questions. In a series of papers culminating in book (Hutter, 2005), an exciting sound and complete mathematical model for a super intelligent agent (AIXI) has been developed and rigorously analyzed. While nowadays most AI researchers avoid discussing intelligence, the award-winning PhD thesis (Legg, 2008) provided the philosophical embedding and investigated the UAI-based universal measure of rational intelligence, which is formal, objective and non-anthropocentric. Recently, effective approximations of AIXI have been derived and experimentally investigated in JAIR paper (Veness et al. 2011). This practical breakthrough has resulted in some impressive applications, finally muting earlier critique that UAI is only a theory. For the first time, without providing any domain knowledge, the same agent is able to self-adapt to a diverse range of interactive environments. For instance, AIXI is able to learn from scratch to play TicTacToe, Pacman, Kuhn Poker, and other games by trial and error, without even providing the rules of the games. These achievements give new hope that the grand goal of Artificial General Intelligence is not elusive. This article provides an informal overview of UAI in context. It attempts to gently introduce a very theoretical, formal, and mathematical subject, and discusses philosophical and technical ingredients, traits of intelligence, some social questions, and the past and future of UAI.

description: The uncertainty of the hydrologic risk of flood related hydraulic structures is determined by estimating the variance of the risk of failure based on the methods of moments (MOM), probability weighted moments (PWM), and maximum likelihood (ML) assuming that the underlying model is the Gumbel distribution. The derived variances of the risk based on the three estimation methods are functions of sample size, design life, and nonexceedance probability. Simulation experiments have been performed to analyze the behavior of the risk of failure for various values of the sample size, design life, nonexceedance probability, and coefficient of variation. Two examples are included to illustrate the applicability of the concepts and proposed equations.

description: Many kinds of categorical structure require the existence of finite limits, of colimits of some specified type, and of "exactness" conditions between the finite limits and the specified colimits. Some examples are the notions of regular, or Barr-exact, or lextensive, or coherent, or adhesive category. We introduce a general notion of exactness, of which each of the structures listed above, and others besides, are particular instances. The notion can be understood as a form of cocompleteness "in the lex world" -- more precisely, in the 2-category of finitely complete categories and finite-limit preserving functors.

Electric double layer structure close to the three-phase contact line in an electrolyte wetting a solid substrate

description: The electric double layer structure in an electrolyte close to a solid substrate near the three-phase contact line is approximated by considering the linearized Poisson-Boltzmann equation in a wedge geometry. The mathematical approach complements the semi-analytical solutions reported in the literature by providing easily available characteristic information on the double layer structure. In particular, the model contains a length scale that quantifies the distance from the fluid-fluid interface over which this boundary influences the electric double layer. The analysis is based on an approximation for the equipotential lines. Excellent agreement between the model predictions and numerical results is achieved for a significant range of contact angles. The length scale quantifying the influence of the fluid-fluid interface is proportional to the Debye length and depends on the wall contact angle. It is shown that for contact angles approaching 90° there is a finite range of boundary influence.
