description: RHESSI observations are used to quantitatively study the hard X-ray evolution in 5 large solar flares selected for spectral hardening in the course of the event. The X-ray bremsstrahlung emission from non-thermal electrons is characterized by two spectroscopically distinct phases: impulsive and gradual. The impulsive phase usually consists of several emission spikes following a soft-hard-soft spectral pattern, whereas the gradual stage manifests itself as spectral hardening while the flux slowly decreases. Both the soft-hard-soft (impulsive) phase and the hardening (gradual) phase are well described by piecewise linear dependence of the photon spectral index on the logarithm of the hard X-ray flux. The different linear parts of this relation correspond to different rise and decay phases of emission spikes. The temporal evolution of the spectra is compared with the configuration and motion of the hard X-ray sources in RHESSI images. These observations reveal that the two stages of electron acceleration causing these two different behaviors are closely related in space and time. The transition between the impulsive and gradual phase is found to be smooth and progressive rather than abrupt. This suggests that they arise because of a slow change in a common accelerator rather than being caused by two independent and distinct acceleration processes. We propose that the hardening during the decay phase is caused by continuing particle acceleration with longer trapping in the accelerator before escape.

description: New generalized equations of motion for the Weber-Clebsch potentials that describe both the Navier-Stokes and MHD dynamics are derived. These depend on a new parameter, which has dimensions of time for Navier-Stokes and inverse velocity for MHD. Direct numerical simulations are performed. For Navier-Stokes, the generalized formalism captures the intense reconnection of vortices of the Boratav, Pelz and Zabusky flow, in agreement with the previous study by Ohkitani and Constantin. For MHD, the new formalism is used to detect magnetic reconnection in several flows: the 3D Arnold, Beltrami and Childress (ABC) flow and the (2D and 3D) Orszag-Tang vortex. It is concluded that periods of intense activity in the magnetic enstrophy are correlated with periods of increasingly frequent resettings. Finally, the positive correlation between the sharpness of the increase in resetting frequency and the spatial localization of the reconnection region is discussed.

description: The purpose of this study was to combine practice and research in a community agency. This study examined the extent and nature of the need for child care in Richmond, B.C. for parents who are employed or attending one of three institutions, located within close proximity of each other. The relationships between different variables were analyzed: age of child, type of care, hours of care and preferred location. The results of 237 families were compiled. Out of 237 families there was an indicated need for 217 children. The results indicated that there was a need for child care for children aged 0-13 years. The major types of care required were group care for children 0-5 years of age and out-of-school care for older children. Preferred location for care ranged from the vicinity of home and school to the parents' place of employment. Even though few preferred a centralized location, respondents indicated they were willing to relocate and assist in the development of a centralized facility.

description: We consider a holographic model of QCD from string theory, a la Sakai and Sugimoto, and study baryons. In this model, mesons are collectively realized as a five-dimensional \$U(N_F)=U(1)\times SU(N_F)$ Yang-Mills field and baryons are classically identified as $SU(N_F)$ solitons with a unit Pontryagin number and $N_c$ electric charges. The soliton is shown to be very small in the large 't Hooft coupling limit, allowing us to introduce an effective field ${\cal B}$. Its coupling to the mesons are dictated by the soliton structure, and consists of a direct magnetic coupling to the $SU(N_F)$ field strength as well as a minimal coupling to the $U(N_F)$ gauge field. Upon the dimensional reduction, this effective action reproduces all interaction terms between nucleons and an infinite tower of mesons in a manner consistent with the large $N_c$ expansion. We further find that all electromagnetic interactions, as inferred from the same effective action via a holographic prescription, are mediated by an infinite tower of vector mesons, rendering the baryon electromagnetic form factors completely vector-dominated as well. We estimate nucleon-meson couplings and also the anomalous magnetic moments, which compare well with nature.

description: Traditional computations of the dark matter (DM) relic abundance, for models where attractive self-interactions are mediated by light force-carriers and bound states exist, rely on the solution of a coupled system of classical on-shell Boltzmann equations. This idealized description misses important thermal effects caused by the tight coupling among force-carriers and other charged relativistic species potentially present during the chemical decoupling process. We develop for the first time a comprehensive ab initio derivation for the description of DM long-range interactions in the presence of a hot and dense plasma background directly from nonequilibrium quantum field theory. Our results clarify a few conceptional aspects of the derivation and show that under certain conditions the finite temperature effects can lead to sizable modifications of DM Sommerfeld-enhanced annihilation and bound-state decay rates. In particular, the scattering and bound states get strongly mixed in the thermal plasma environment, representing a characteristic difference from a pure vacuum theory computation. The main result of this work is a novel differential equation for the DM number density, written down in a form which is manifestly independent under the choice of what one would interpret as a bound or a scattering state at finite temperature. The collision term, unifying the description of annihilation and bound-state decay, turns out to have in general a nonquadratic dependence on the DM number density. This generalizes the form of the conventional Lee-Weinberg equation which is typically adopted to describe the freeze-out process. We prove that our number density equation is consistent with previous literature results under certain limits. In the limit of vanishing finite temperature corrections our central equation is fully compatible with the classical on-shell Boltzmann equation treatment. So far, finite temperature corrected annihilation rates for long-range force systems have been estimated from a method relying on linear response theory. We prove consistency between the latter and our method in the linear regime close to chemical equilibrium.

description: Security of information has become a major issue during the last decades. New algorithms based on chaotic maps were suggested for protection of different types of multimedia data, especially digital images and videos in this period. However, many of them fundamentally were flawed by a lack of robustness and security. For getting higher security and higher complexity, in the current paper, we introduce a new kind of symmetric key block cipher algorithm that is based on \emph{tripled chaotic maps}. In this algorithm, the utilization of two coupling parameters, as well as the increased complexity of the cryptosystem, make a contribution to the development of cryptosystem with higher security. In order to increase the security of the proposed algorithm, the size of key space and the computational complexity of the coupling parameters should be increased as well. Both the theoretical and experimental results state that the proposed algorithm has many capabilities such as acceptable speed and complexity in the algorithm due to the existence of two coupling parameter and high security. Note that the ciphertext has a flat distribution and has the same size as the plaintext. Therefore, it is suitable for practical use in secure communications.

description: Gyrinus cavatus Atton, 1990 Gyrinus cavatus was reported from Nova Scotia by Atton (1990) and Roughley (1991). In Nova Scotia it has only been found on Cape Breton Island (Fig. 9). Prior to Atton’s (1990) description of the species, separating it from the Gyrinus minutus Fabricius, 1798 (a Holarctic species recorded by him in North America from northern sites in British Columbia and the Yukon Territories east to Labrador and northern Newfoundland), previous records of G. cavatus were reported under the name of G. minutus. Roughley (1991) appears to have confused Atton’s (1990) findings, reporting both species from Nova Scotia and treating G. cavatus in the subgenus Gyrinus (s. str.) rather than in Gyrinulus Zaitsev. Oygur and Wolfe (1991) were apparently unaware of Atton’s (1990) separation of G. minutus (sensu lato) into two species. Kenner (2000) subsequently reported G. cavatus from Ontario, Québec, and Maine. Gyrinus minutus is consequently removed from the faunal list of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The ecology of this G. cavatus has not been documented, however, Oygur and Wolfe (1991) reported G. minutus from woodland pools, rocky pools, semi-peaty lakes, peat-ringed bogs, and dystrophic habitats. Presumably G. cavatus is found in similar habitats. We have not been able to find voucher specimens of this species from New Brunswick in any Canadian collection. Consequently, further research should be conducted to ascertain if this species actually occurs in the province as reported by Roughley (1991).

Turning points or dead ends? Identity, desistance and the experience of imprisonment
Creators: name: Jarman, Ben
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2019

description: Desistance research has pushed criminologists to develop a nuanced conceptual account of criminal identity and human agency. However, these tools have mostly not been used to consider identity changes among long-sentenced prisoners, despite the growing preponderance of long-term imprisonment in England and Wales. As a result of this, desistance theory has not been used to evaluate the administration of indeterminate sentences, meaning that practitioners may be missing out on some of the insights that it can generate. This qualitative study begins to fill that gap, using a phenomenological analysis of eighteen in-depth semi-structured interviews with life- sentenced prisoners at a single prison in England, all of whom had been convicted of murder. It argues that most eventually attempt conscious projects of personal change during imprisonment; second, that many frame change in terms which are not consistent with the official discourses of risk reduction (which govern their progression through the sentence); and third, that how they themselves conceive and pursue personal change is affected by their position in the sentence and the life course, and also by the specific nature and circumstances of their index offences. The analysis classifies four different styles of agency found in the sample: ‘defensive’ and ‘fractured’ agents were unwilling or unable to accept responsibility for the offence, and were consequently in penal ‘dead ends’; while ‘corrective’ and ‘redemptive’ agents had encountered ‘turning points’, in that they accepted responsibility, albeit in different ways. The analysis describes each group’s characteristic ways of describing the offence and their part in it. It also describes their attitudes to prison social life in general, and to rehabilitative intervention in particular. The study as a whole suggests that much of the personal change which lifers themselves frame as significant happens outside rehabilitative interventions, and may be invisible to key prison staff. This raises important questions about whether prisons and prisoners think about rehabilitation in the same way, with consequences for the legitimacy of penal power.

Our findings, together with a through structural characterization, substantiate the model assigning spontaneous magnetization of (Zn,Co)O to uncompensated spins at the surface of antiferromagnetic nanocrystal of Co-rich wurtzite (Zn,Co)O. The model explains a large anisotropy observed in both magnetization and magnetoresistance in terms of spin hamiltonian of Co ions in the crystal field of the wurtzite lattice.

description: Regularization schemes for regression have been widely studied in learning theory and inverse problems. In this paper, we study distribution regression (DR) which involves two stages of sampling, and aims at regressing from probability measures to real-valued responses over a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). Recently, theoretical analysis on DR has been carried out via kernel ridge regression and several learning behaviors have been observed. However, the topic has not been explored and understood beyond the least square based DR. By introducing a robust loss function $l_σ$ for two-stage sampling problems, we present a novel robust distribution regression (RDR) scheme. With a windowing function $V$ and a scaling parameter $σ$ which can be appropriately chosen, $l_σ$ can include a wide range of popular used loss functions that enrich the theme of DR. Moreover, the loss $l_σ$ is not necessarily convex, hence largely improving the former regression class (least square) in the literature of DR. The learning rates under different regularity ranges of the regression function $f_ρ$ are comprehensively studied and derived via integral operator techniques. The scaling parameter $σ$ is shown to be crucial in providing robustness and satisfactory learning rates of RDR.

description: Absence of information on the health effects of the intake of a mixture of methylated spirit and carbonated cola drink affects decisions on its use. This study is an attempt to provide primary data on how some of these novel mixtures impact the body. It aims to determine the effects of a mixture of methylated spirit and a carbonated cola drink on the lipid profile of male wistar rats as a means of assessing its health impact. Male wistar rats were obtained from the animal house of the Department of Biochemistry, University of Benin, Edo state, Nigeria. Methylated spirit and carbonated cola drinks were purchased from Otuoke Pharmacy, Otuoke, Bayelsa state and used for the research. Methylated spirit (50ml) was added to 50ml of cola drink in a beaker to obtain 100ml of the mixture. The animals were grouped into 3: A, B and C with seven animals in each group. A single dose of 0.1ml of the mixture were orally administered to those in group A and 0.2ml to those in group B using plastic oral intubation and gavage tube.

The concentrations of total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, triglyceride and very low density lipoprotein were analyzed using semi-automated biochemistry analyzer with standard reagent kits. The result of the investigation reveals that intake of the mixture increased the mean levels of total cholesterol (3.774± 0.82𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/ 𝐿), triglyceride (2.026± 0.42𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/𝐿), high density lipoprotein (1.468± 0.25𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/𝐿), low density lipoprotein (1.385± 0.38𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/𝐿), very low density lipoprotein (0.9205± 0.19𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/𝐿) for group A and total cholesterol (2.782± 0.03𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/ 𝐿), triglyceride (1.450± 0.68𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/𝐿), high density lipoprotein (1.043± 0.17𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/𝐿), low density lipoprotein (1.080± 0.16𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/𝐿), very low density lipoprotein (0.659± 0.31𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/ 𝐿) for group B when compared to the control total cholesterol (4.671± 0.13𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/ 𝐿), triglyceride (0.6160± 0.10𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/𝐿), high density lipoprotein (1.084± 0.01𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/𝐿), low density lipoprotein (3.321± 0.05𝑚𝑚𝑜𝑙/𝐿), very low density lipoprotein

description: Sco X-1, the brightest low mass X-ray binary, is likely to be a source for gravitational wave emission. In one mechanism, emission of a gravitational wave arrests the increase in spin frequency due to the accretion torque in a low mass X-ray binary. Since the gravitational waveform is unknown, a detection method assuming no apriori knowledge of the signal is preferable. In this paper, we propose to search for a gravitational wave from Sco X-1 using a {\it source tracking} method based on a coherent network analysis. In the method, we combine data from several interferometric gravitational wave detectors taking into account of the direction to Sco X-1, and reconstruct two polarization waveforms at the location of Sco X-1 in the sky as Sco X-1 is moving. The source tracking method opens up the possibility of searching for a wide variety of signals. We perform Monte Carlo simulations and show results for bursts, modeled, short duration periodic sources using a simple excess power and a matched filter method on the reconstructed signals.

description: We study the atomic oxygen adsorption on Pb(111) surface by using density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation and a supercell approach. The atomic and energetic properties of purely on-surface and subsurface oxygen structures at the Pb(111) surface are systematically investigated for a wide range of coverages and adsorption sites. The fcc and tetra-II sites (see the text for definition) are found to be energetically preferred for the on-surface and subsurface adsorption, respectively, in the whole range of coverage considered. The on-surface and subsurface oxygen binding energies monotonically increase with the coverage, and the latter is always higher than the former, thus indicating the tendency to the formation of oxygen islands (clusters) and the higher stability of subsurface adsorption. The on-surface and subsurface diffusion-path energetics of atomic oxygen, and the activation barriers for the O penetration from the on-surface to the subsurface sites are presented at low and high coverages. In particular, it is shown that the penetration barrier from the on-surface hcp to the subsurface tetra-I site is as small as 65 meV at low coverage ($Θ$=0.25). The other properties of the O/Pb(111) system, including the charge distribution, the lattice relaxation, the work function, and the electronic density of states, are also studied and discussed in detail, which consistently show the gradually stabilizing ionic O-Pb bond with increase of the oxygen coverage.

description: We study quantum transport of an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate in a two-dimensional disorder potential. In the limit of vanishing atom-atom interaction, a sharp cone in the angle-resolved density of the scattered matter wave is observed, arising from constructive interference between amplitudes propagating along reversed scattering paths. Weak interaction transforms this coherent backscattering peak into a pronounced dip, indicating destructive instead of constructive interference. We reproduce this result, obtained from the numerical integration of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, by a diagrammatic theory of weak localization in presence of a nonlinearity.

description: We calculate the quantum-limited shape of the comb lines from a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser using experimentally-derived parameters for the linear response of the laser to perturbations. The free-running width of the comb lines is found across the laser spectrum. By modeling the effect of a simple feedback loop, we calculate the spectrum of the residual phase noise in terms of the quantum noise and the feedback parameters. Finally, we calculate the frequency uncertainty in an optical frequency measurement if the limiting factor is quantum noise in the detection of the optical heterodyne beat.

description: Parameter retrieval and model inversion are key problems in remote sensing and Earth observation. Currently, different approximations exist: a direct, yet costly, inversion of radiative transfer models (RTMs); the statistical inversion with in situ data that often results in problems with extrapolation outside the study area; and the most widely adopted hybrid modeling by which statistical models, mostly nonlinear and non-parametric machine learning algorithms, are applied to invert RTM simulations. We will focus on the latter. Among the different existing algorithms, in the last decade kernel based methods, and Gaussian Processes (GPs) in particular, have provided useful and informative solutions to such RTM inversion problems. This is in large part due to the confidence intervals they provide, and their predictive accuracy. However, RTMs are very complex, highly nonlinear, and typically hierarchical models, so that often a shallow GP model cannot capture complex feature relations for inversion. This motivates the use of deeper hierarchical architectures, while still preserving the desirable properties of GPs. This paper introduces the use of deep Gaussian Processes (DGPs) for bio-geo-physical model inversion. Unlike shallow GP models, DGPs account for complicated (modular, hierarchical) processes, provide an efficient solution that scales well to big datasets, and improve prediction accuracy over their single layer counterpart. In the experimental section, we provide empirical evidence of performance for the estimation of surface temperature and dew point temperature from infrared sounding data, as well as for the prediction of chlorophyll content, inorganic suspended matter, and coloured dissolved matter from multispectral data acquired by the Sentinel-3 OLCI sensor. The presented methodology allows for more expressive forms of GPs in remote sensing model inversion problems.
“It Starts With the Littlest Things”: Young Disabled Women’s Experiences Navigating Everyday Ableism
Creators: name: Horowitz, Emily
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Ableism permeates our everyday lives, our relationships, and our ways of thinking, talking, and doing through systemic devaluation of certain kinds of bodies and minds. It is deeply entwined with other forms of oppression and is at once structural, relational, and profoundly personal. Alongside histories of ableism, disability studies scholars and disability activists have documented parallel histories of disabled people’s creativity, survival, and resistance to ableism. Drawing together disability studies scholarship and activist perspectives on ableism, aspects of feminist theory, and concepts of “everyday resistance,” this research explores young disabled women’s lived experiences navigating ableism in everyday life. Data for this qualitative study were collected via 16 in-depth semi-structured interviews with young disabled women 18-30 years old and analyzed using an iterative thematic analysis approach. Highlighted throughout this research are stories about the daily contingencies of navigating shifting and power-laden terrains of everyday life for young disabled women, including the doctor’s office, the college classroom, the workplace, the family home, and more. Though enactments of ableism young women experienced in everyday life were sometimes subtle, the stories they shared about their experiences reflected larger socio-cultural power dynamics and were deeply felt and profoundly personal. Key themes discussed include experiences of disbelief and dismissal, infantilization, exclusion, and questioning that coalesce at the intersections of young adulthood, womanhood, and disability. This research also explores the range of strategies young disabled women use to contend with everyday ableism. For the women interviewed, navigating everyday ableism required a flexible repertoire of strategies, ranging from largely recognizable forms of self-advocacy to quiet moments of connection, epistemic resistance, demanding access, proving themselves, and just letting go. This research raises questions about the potentials and possibilities for understanding young disabled women’s everyday experiences and knowledges as sites of resistance, acquiescence, survival, and what exists in between.

description: Dendriform structures arise naturally in algebraic combinatorics (where they allow, for example, the splitting of the shuffle product into two pieces) and through Rota-Baxter algebra structures (the latter appear, among others, in differential systems and in the renormalization process of pQFT). We prove new combinatorial identities in dendriform dialgebras that appear to be strongly related to classical phenomena, such as the combinatorics of Lyndon words, rewriting rules in Lie algebras, or the fine structure of the Malvenuto-Reutenauer algebra. One of these identities is an abstract noncommutative, dendriform, generalization of the Bohnenblust-Spitzer identity and of an identity involving iterated Chen integrals due to C.S. Lam.

Quantum process in probability representation of quantum mechanics

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In this work, the operator-sum representation of a quantum process is extended to the probability representation of quantum mechanics. It is shown that each process admitting the operator-sum representation is assigned a kernel, convolving of which with the initial tomogram set characterizing the system state gives the tomographic state of the transformed system. This kernel, in turn, is broken into the kernels of partial operations, each of them incorporating the symbol of the evolution operator related to the joint evolution of the system and an ancillary environment. Such a kernel decomposition for the projection to a certain basis state and a Gaussian-type projection is demonstrated as well as qubit flipping and amplitude damping processes.

Problems/needs inventory of seniors with arthritis : implications for training of care-facility staff
Creators: name: Steven, John Mowat
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: A problems/needs inventory enquired into special social-psychological-emotional problems experienced by seniors in care facilities, due to arthritis. The inventory was based on three questions: are there any such problems? If so, what are they? And, what could be done by facility staff to help relieve such problems? This was the first stage in a proposed larger project: to develop a Social Work component dealing with such special problems, in order to augment an existing staff training program, and to test, evaluate, revise and implement the complete program package. A community-based approach was used. The Department of Social Work Services at the Arthritis Society produced a listing of key areas of concern at a brainstorming session; health-care and social-service professionals were surveyed by interview or by the Delphi Technique; a seniors' arthritis support group participated in a Nominal Group Technique session; care-facility staff met to discuss relevant issues; and, data was gleaned from current literature by a content analysis method. There was general agreement that seniors in care with arthritis do have special social-psychological-emotional problems because of the disease, and also there was consistency regarding the nature of these problems. Analysis of the data led to findings that included the following propositions: A sense of self-reliance and of social integration are essential to well-being. Limitations on movement, and the effects of chronic pain and of pain medication are associated with significant social-psychological emotional problems among seniors in care with arthritis. Two principles of care were identified: 1) support and encourage independence; and, 2) support and encourage social integration. The propositions will be applied to the development of the content of the Social Work component of the training program. Also, many respondents made important recommendations regarding methods and format for the training program. These are included in this paper.
