description: Normdaten und ihre Identifikatoren haben sich zu einer zentralen Komponente für die Herstellung und Auswertung von domänen- und sammlungsübergreifenden (Daten-)Korpora etabliert. Dass Normdaten Beziehungen innerhalb und zwischen Datensätzen spezifizieren können, dass sie zudem mit persistenten URIs ausgestattet sind, prädestiniert sie, als Brücke zwischen heterogenen Informationen / Daten unterschiedlicher Provenienz zu fungieren. Der Beitrag unterstreicht das Potential von Normdaten, eine Brückenfunktion zwischen verschiedenen Kontexten zu übernehmen, anhand einiger Beispiele aus der Praxis des Leibniz-Instituts für Ost- und Südosteuropaforschung (IOS) für die geschichtswissenschaftliche Forschungsinfrastruktur einer Institution der Area Studies. Im Fokus stehen in erster Linie niedrigschwellige Verfahren, die auch für ‚nicht programmierende‘ Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare beherrschbar bzw. vermittelbar sind. Darunter fallen beispielsweise sogenannte BEACON-Dateien, die sich als Basis für thematische Verknüpfungen unterschiedlicher Ressourcen anbieten. Darüber hinaus geht es generell um Überlegungen, auf welche Weise Normdaten zur Anreicherung (geistes-) wissenschaftlicher Produkte eingesetzt werden können, welche Strategien sich zur Propagierung von Normdaten für das wissenschaftliche Publizieren und Forschen empfehlen und ob durch sie hervorgebrachte Mehrwerte in bibliothekarische Systeme zurückfließen können. Ein Use Case unter Verwendung von Open Refine zum Abgleich von Normdaten mit Wikidata schließt die Präsentation ab.
The merger of binary white dwarf-neutron stars: Simulations in full general relativity

description: We present fully general relativistic (GR) simulations of binary white dwarf-neutron star (WDNS) inspiral and merger. The initial binary is in a circular orbit at the Roche critical separation. The goal is to determine the ultimate fate of such systems. We focus on binaries whose total mass exceeds the maximum mass (Mmax) a cold, degenerate EOS can support against gravitational collapse. The time and length scales span many orders of magnitude, making fully general relativistic hydrodynamic (GRHD) simulations computationally prohibitive. For this reason, we model the WD as a "pseudo-white dwarf" (pWD) as in our binary WDNS head-on collisions study [PRD83:064002,2011]. Our GRHD simulations of a pWDNS system with a 0.98-solar-mass WD and a 1.4-solar-mass NS show that the merger remnant is a spinning Thorne-Zytkow-like Object (TZlO) surrounded by a massive disk. The final total rest mass exceeds Mmax, but the remnant does not collapse promptly. To assess whether the object will ultimately collapse after cooling, we introduce radiative thermal cooling. We first apply our cooling algorithm to TZlOs formed in WDNS head-on collisions, and show that these objects collapse and form black holes on the cooling time scale, as expected. However, when we cool the spinning TZlO formed in the merger of a circular-orbit WDNS binary, the remnant does not collapse, demonstrating that differential rotational support is sufficient to prevent collapse. Given that the final total mass exceeds Mmax, magnetic fields and/or viscosity may redistribute angular momentum and ultimately lead to delayed collapse to a BH. We infer that the merger of realistic massive WDNS binaries likely will lead to the formation of spinning TZlOs that undergo delayed collapse.

description: For top-quarks produced via the subprocess $q\bar q\to t\bar t$, the longitudinal t-quark polarization ($P_{\parallel}$) vanishes in QCD. $P_{\parallel}$ can be measured by the angular distribution of the lepton in $t$-quark semileptonic decay. New physics contributions that are parity nonconserving will be manifest by non-vanishing $P_{\parallel}$, which may be large. We illustrate this with the s-channel exchange of a massive $X$-gluon with chiral quark couplings.

description: The recent discovery of high temperature superconductivity in a layered iron arsenide has led to an intensive search to optimize the superconducting properties of iron-based superconductors by changing the chemical composition of the spacer layer that is inserted between adjacent anionic iron arsenide layers. Until now, superconductivity has only been found in compounds with a cationic spacer layer consisting of metal ions: Li+, Na+, K+, Ba2+ or a PbO-type or perovskite-type oxide layer. Electronic doping is usually necessary to control the fine balance between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. Superconductivity has also been reported in FeSe, which contains neutral layers similar in structure to those found in the iron arsenides but without the spacer layer. Here we demonstrate the synthesis of Lix(NH2)y(NH3)1-yFe2Se2 (x ~0.6 ; y ~ 0.2), with lithium ions, lithium amide and ammonia acting as the spacer layer, which exhibits superconductivity at 43(1) K, higher than in any FeSe-derived compound reported so far and four times higher at ambient pressure than the transition temperature, Tc, of the parent Fe1.01Se. We have determined the crystal structure using neutron powder diffraction and used magnetometry and muon-spin rotation data to determine the superconducting properties. This new synthetic route opens up the possibility of further exploitation of related molecular intercalations in this and other systems in order to greatly optimize the superconducting properties in this family.

Effects of the early social environment on the responses of dairy calves to novel events
Creators: name: De Paula Vieira, Andreia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The pronounced responses of dairy calves to novel events such as weaning and mixing form an obvious welfare concern and represent an important challenge for the dairy industry. I hypothesized that providing calves a more natural social environment would reduce these responses. This thesis consists of 5 chapters, beginning with a general introduction (Chapter 1) and ending with a general discussion and conclusion (Chapter 5). Chapter 2 compares the effects of individual vs. pair housing on calf responses to weaning from milk as well as on the adjustment to a novel pen and novel social partners at mixing. This chapter shows that being housed with a social companion increases starter intake pre-weaning, has a buffering effect on vocal responses at weaning and improves the performance of calves after mixing when compared to calves housed individually. Chapter 3 describes the effects of housing dairy calves with an older companion on the development of feeding behavior before and after weaning from milk. This chapter shows that a weaned companion is an important social model during weaning, stimulating early intake of hay pre-weaning, starter intake post-weaning and improving growth relative to calves housed in groups of similar age. Chapter 4 describes the effects of the early social environment on the behavioral responses of dairy calves to environmental and social novelty. The results from this chapter show that individually housed calves are more reactive to both environmental and social novelty when compared to pair housed calves. Calves housed with an older companion are also more reactive to separation from group members but less reactive to the presence of an unfamiliar calf when compared to calves housed in groups of similar age. Chapter 5 discusses the results of this thesis and suggests that future research on the development of the affective and cognitive abilities of dairy calves in different social contexts can improve the welfare of commercially reared dairy calves. Providing calves access to conspecifics of similar age or an older companion can minimize calf responses to weaning from milk and reduce responsiveness to environmental and social novelty during mixing.

Spectrum of the Vortex Bound States of the Dirac and Schrodinger Hamiltonian in the presence of Superconducting Gaps

description: We investigate the vortex bound states both Schrodinger and Dirac Hamiltonian with the s-wave superconducting pairing gap by solving the mean-field Bogoliubov-de-Gennes equations. The exact vortex bound states spectrum is numerically determined by the integration method, and also accompanied by the quasi-classical analysis. It is found that the bound state energies is proportional to the vortex angular momentum when the chemical potential is large enough. By applying the external magnetic field, the vortex bound state energies of the Dirac Hamiltonian are almost unchanged; whereas the energy shift of the Schrodinger Hamiltonian is proportional to the magnetic field. These qualitative differences may serve as an indirect evidence of the existence of Majorana fermions in which the zero mode exists in the case of the Dirac Hamiltonian only.

description: The structure of the Wadge degrees on zero-dimensional spaces is very simple (almost well-ordered), but for many other natural non-zero-dimensional spaces (including the space of reals) this structure is much more complicated. We consider weaker notions of reducibility, including the so-called Δ^0_α-reductions, and try to find for various natural topological spaces X the least ordinal α_X such that for every α_X \leq β< ω_1 the degree-structure induced on X by the Δ^0_β-reductions is simple (i.e. similar to the Wadge hierarchy on the Baire space). We show that α_X \leq ω for every quasi-Polish space X, that α_X \leq 3 for quasi-Polish spaces of dimension different from \infty, and that this last bound is in fact optimal for many (quasi-)Polish spaces, including the real line and its powers.

description: We determine an absolute calibration of stellar mass-to-light ratios for the densest \simeq 3% of early-type galaxies in the local universe (redshift z\simeq 0.08) from SDSS DR7. This sample of \sim 4000 galaxies has, assuming a Chabrier IMF, effective stellar surface densities, Sigma_e > 2500 M_sun/pc^2, stellar population synthesis (SPS) stellar masses log_10(M_sps/M_sun)<10.8, and aperture velocity dispersions of sigma_ap=168^{+37}_{-34} km/s (68% range). In contrast to typical early-type galaxies, we show that these dense early-type galaxies follow the virial fundamental plane, which suggests that mass-follows-light. With the additional assumption that any dark matter does not follow the light, the dynamical masses of dense galaxies provide a direct measurement of stellar masses. Our dynamical masses (M_dyn), obtained from the spherical Jeans equations, are only weakly sensitive to the choice of anisotropy (β) due to the relatively large aperture of the SDSS fiber for these galaxies: R_ap \simeq 1.5 R_e. Assuming isotropic orbits (β=0) we find a median log_{10} (M_dyn/M_sps) = 0.233 \pm 0.003, consistent with a Salpeter IMF, while more bottom heavy IMFs and standard Milky-Way IMFs are strongly disfavored. Our results are consistent with, but do not require, a dependence of the IMF on dynamical mass or velocity dispersion. We find evidence for a color dependence to the IMF such that redder galaxies have heavier IMFs with M_dyn/M_sps \propto (g-r)^{1.13\pm0.09}. This may reflect a more fundamental dependence of the IMF on the age or metallicity of a stellar population, or the density at which the stars formed.

Barriers and drivers to sustainability in small to medium sized businesses in the value added wood sector
Creators: name: Clark, Allyson Lorraine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: There is currently very limited research on how firms incorporate sustainability into their business strategies and practices in the secondary wood industry. There is equally limited research on how small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs) approach sustainability; most of the research on sustainability in business attempts to paint an overall picture of issues for large multinational enterprises (MNEs), failing to recognize issues related to SMEs. The research generalizes how large firms define and implement sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies without taking into account that an SME may not respond in the same way. One of the research needs is to understand how SMEs more generally define sustainability and the barriers and drivers for sustainability. One important research outcome from investigating sustainability in the secondary wood industry is more understanding of how SMEs respond to sustainability and tools and strategies for sustainability in this important business sector. This research is a survey-based project looking at barriers and drivers to sustainability in small to medium sized businesses in the value-added wood sector in Canada. Results indicated that the barriers and drivers for SMEs are similar to those for MNEs and are consistent with much of the literature. The top drivers for this sector were: mission of the company, environmental concern, competitive advantage and vision of the founder and the top barriers were cost, and time. The least important barrier was no known business benefit suggesting that SMEs have begun to understand the value of implement responsible business practices. Results suggest that further research be conducted in this field to gain a better understanding on how to help SMEs implement more sustainable business practices. The findings in this study also suggest ways in which to better survey the SME sector in the future.

description: This article introduces a formal model to specify, model and validate hierarchical complex systems described at different levels of analysis. It relies on concepts that have been developed in the multi-agent-based simulation (MABS) literature: level, influence and reaction. One application of such model is the specification of hierarchical complex systems, in which decisional capacities are dynamically adapted at each level with respect to the emergences/constraints paradigm. In the conclusion, we discuss the main perspective of this work: the definition of a generic meta-model for holonic multi-agent systems (HMAS).

description: We study the electronic instabilities of near 1/4 electron doped graphene using the functional renormalization group (FRG) and variational Monte-Carlo method. A modified FRG implementation is utilized to improve the treatment of the von Hove singularity. At 1/4 doping the system is a chiral spin density wave state exhibiting the anomalous quantized Hall effect, or equivalently a Chern insulator. When the doping deviates from 1/4, the $d_{x^2-y^2}+i d_{xy}$ Cooper pairing becomes the leading instability. Our results suggest near 1/4 electron or hole doped graphene is a fertile playground for the search of Chern insulators and superconductors.

Management Control and Meaningful Work

Year: 2023

subject: Management accounting

description: This thesis explores how management control practices influence meaningful work. Based on aged care workers’ audio diaries and interviews, this thesis reveals workers’ irreducible autonomy and intelligence in wrestling with difficulties at work. Autonomously overcoming these difficulties and getting work done well is what makes work particularly meaningful to workers. Yet, workers’ autonomy mobilisation is vulnerable to management control practices that impose domination. Under domination, workers are paralysed by their intense fear, losing capabilities for autonomous actions – the essential element for meaningful work. In addition, symbolic recognition is also crucial to meaningful work. A lack of symbolic recognition causes workers to detach and de-identify with their employers, ultimately leading to feelings of apathy and meaninglessness.

description: We present O(α_s) results on the decays of polarized W^+- and Z bosons into massive quark pairs. The NLO QCD corrections to the polarized decay functions are given up to the second order in the quark mass expansion. We find a surprisingly strong dependence of the NLO polarized decay functions on finite quark mass effects even at the relatively large mass scale of the W^+- and Z bosons. As a main application we consider the decay t -> b + W^+ involving the helicity fractions ρ_{mm} of the W^+ boson followed by the polarized decay W^+(\uparrow) -> q_1 qbar_2 for which we determine the O(α_s) polar angle decay distribution. We also discuss NLO polarization effects in the production/decay process e^+e^- -> Z(\uparrow) -> q qbar.

description: This book discusses the only known private book collection from pre-Ottoman Jerusalem for which we have a trail of documents. It belonged to an otherwise unknown resident, Burhān al-Dīn; after his death, his books were sold in a public auction and the list of objects sold has survived.This list – edited and translated in this volume – shows that a humble part-time reciter of the late 14th century had almost 300 books in his house, evidence that book ownership extended beyond the elite. Based on a corpus of almost fifty documents from the Ḥaram al-sharīf collection in Jerusalem, it is also possible to get a rare insight into the social world of such an individual. Finally, the book gives a unique insight into book prices as it will make available the largest such set of data for the pre-Ottoman period.

description: The effects of dietary modifications have been assessed in people living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with consistent benefits reported from clinical trials. However, the lived experience of making and sustaining positive dietary changes for people with RA remains unknown. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of adults with RA and their perceptions of a 12-week telehealth-delivered dietary intervention and to assess the acceptability of the programme. Qualitative data was collected via four online focus groups with participants who had just completed a 12-week dietary intervention programme delivered through telehealth methods. Thematic analysis was used to code and summarize the identified key themes. Twenty-one adults with RA (47.5 ± 12.3 years, 90.5% females) were included in this qualitative study. Overarching themes included: (a) motivation to join the programme, (b) benefits of the programme, (c) factors influencing adherence to dietary prescription, and (d) advantages and disadvantages of telehealth. The study demonstrated that a dietary intervention delivered through telehealth methods by a Registered Dietitian (RD) appears to be well-accepted and may be used to complement face-to-face care for people with RA. The identified factors influencing the adoption of a healthier eating pattern will aid in the development of future dietary interventions for a RA population.
Quantum Information Approach to Bose-Einstein Condensate in a Tilted Double-Well System

description: We study the ground state properties of bosons in a tilted double-well system. We use fidelity susceptibility to identify the possible ground state transitions under different tilt values. For a very small tilt (for example $10^{-10}$), two transitions are found. For a moderate tilt (for example $10^{-3}$), only one transition is found. For a large tilt (for example $10^{-1}$), no transition is found. We explain this by analyzing the spectrum of the ground state. The quantum discord and total correlation of the ground state under different tilts are also calculated to indicate those transitions. In the transition region, both quantities have peaks decaying exponentially with particle number $N$. This means for a finite-size system the transition region cannot be explained by the mean-field theory, but in the large-$N$ limit it can be.

description: Motivated by the recent experiment on kagome-lattice antiferromagnets, we study the zero-field ordering behavior of the antiferromagnetic classical Heisenberg model on a uniaxially distorted kagome lattice by Monte Carlo simulations. A first-order transition, which has no counterpart in the corresponding undistorted model, takes place at a very low temperature. Origin of the transition is ascribed to a cooperative proliferation of topological excitations inherent to the model.

description: Using a recent conjecture of Basso we compute three leading nontrivial coefficients in the strong coupling expansion of the anomalous dimensions of short operators in the sl2 sector of AdS/CFT. We show that our results are consistent with the numerical results obtained using the Y-system and TBA approach earlier thus providing further support to the Y-system conjecture.

Executive Bonus Convexity and Target Ratcheting
Creators: name: QIAN, AN
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: classificationCode: 350103
subject: Financial accounting

description: Revising targets based on past performance may give managers perverse incentives to withhold effort (i.e., the ratchet effect). This study investigates whether convex executive bonus compensation mitigates this adverse incentive effect. Using a subset of S&P 1500 firms that take EPS as a performance measure for their executives’ annual bonus compensation, I find that convex bonus payouts mitigate managerial effort reduction. I also find that the mitigating effect is less significant when 1) firms just experienced CEO retirement, and 2) firms use intense intensity in terms of the bonus function’s slope. Firms with a higher level of information asymmetry and operating in a more competitive industry are more likely to provide convex bonus plans to their CEOs. Lastly, I document a complementary relation between bonus convexity and equity convexity in boosting managerial efforts.
Prediction of cutting forces in three- and five-axis ball-end milling with tool indentation effect
Creators: name: Tuysuz, Oguzhan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In machining, the desired final shape is created in Computer Aided Design (CAD) environment and this information is forwarded to Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) phase in which the toolpath is generated and converted to machine specific commands for part manufacturing. The steps in CAD/CAM environments are geometry dependent only, and do not include the physics of the process. However, mathematical modeling of the machining operation gives the flexibility of identifying and resolving process related issues i.e. tool breakage, chatter vibrations and tolerance violations beforehand, which in turn leads to increased productivity. The first step of process modeling is to model the mechanics of the operation that leads to the prediction of the cutting forces experienced by the cutting tool and the workpiece. In this study the mechanics of ball-end tool which is commonly used to machine parts with free-form geometric features are studied. The main problem in ball-end milling mechanics is tool indentation which leads to inaccurate force prediction in tool axial direction, and has previously been solved experimentally only for specific cases. This thesis presents a generalized ball-end tool indentation detection and indentation force prediction model for any kind of work material and cutting tool geometry combinations. The static ball-end milling forces with indentation forces are predicted by developing an analytical cutting edge indentation model. The proposed model utilizes indentation mechanics of punch and wedge shape indenters, describes the required conditions for indentation occurrence and evaluates plastic and elastic contact pressures at the cutting edge and workpiece interface using the material properties of the workpiece. Cutting edge indentation mechanism is also studied through finite element (FE) modeling. A general FE model is obtained for the problem and results are reported only for the material cut in the thesis. The model proposed in the thesis has been verified experimentally. After integrating the developed indentation force prediction model into the cutting force model, predictions in tool axial direction are improved by 15-40% depending on type of the operation. The contribution of the thesis can be used in cutting force based ball-end milling process optimization and analysis for industrial applications.

description: Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are a diverse group of rare malignant soft tissue tumors with a high disease burden. Treatment protocols are complex and, to this day, a precise recommendation for the surgical margin width is lacking. The present study aims to analyze the width of the surgical margins in STS resection specimens and analyze them for local and systemic disease-free survival as well as for most frequent histologic STS subtypes. A total of 169 consecutive patients diagnosed and treated in curative intent in our institution following a primary and localized STS of the extremities or trunk from January 2010 to December 2020 were included in this study regardless of age. Our data reveal that low-grade STSs are best controlled locally by a surgical margin >= 2 mm and in this way also preventing distant metastases effectively. Local recurrence-free survival and metastasis-free survival in high-grade STS were improved by intact muscle fascia or periosteum at the margin when compared only to soft tissue. However, the outcome was independent of the surgical margin width, suggesting a close but negative margin may be safe in high-grade STS subtypes with less invasive growth patterns when combined with adjunct radiochemotherapy.
