description: After a year of commissioning, GeMS/GSAOI, the Gemini MCAO system and its NIR imager, ob-
tained the first compensated images in December 2011. H band Strehl ratios in excess of 35% and FWHMs of or
below 50 mas were obtained, in good seeing condition, averaged over the GSAOI field of view of 85x85 arcsec,
with an excellent uniformity.

description: From the very early concept presented in 2001 to the rst on-sky Multi-Object Adaptive
Optics (MOAO) prototype system, exactly 10 years have elapsed. End of 2010, the pathnder
instrument called CANARY obtained the rst open-loop, tomographically MOAO compensated images
on the WHT. What were the challenges and what was demonstrated? What will be the future steps
for a real astronomical MOAO system to be installed on an extremely large telescope (ELT)? We
present the Canary program and discuss how these achievements contribute to improve the technical
readiness of the MOAO instruments for ELT.

description: As the second stage of the project multi-indexed orthogonal polynomials, we present, in the framework of `discrete quantum mechanics' with real shifts in one dimension, the multi-indexed (q-)Racah polynomials. They are obtained from the (q-)Racah polynomials by multiple application of the discrete analogue of the Darboux transformations or the Crum-Krein-Adler deletion of `virtual state' vectors, in a similar way to the multi-indexed Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials reported earlier. The virtual state vectors are the `solutions' of the matrix Schrödinger equation with negative `eigenvalues', except for one of the two boundary points.

description: The first LBT natural Guide Star Adaptive Optics system (FLAO#1) has been commissioned
between May 2010 and June 2011. The system uses two
key components namely the adaptive secondary
mirror with 672 actuators and the pyramid sensor with up to 30x30 subapertures. During the on-sky
commissioning the system reached very high performance for an 8m class telescope. Briefly, FWHM of
40mas and Strehl ratio higher than 90% have been measured in H band images together with contrast as
high as 10-4 at 0.4 arcsec off axis. The paper describes the results achieved during the system commissioning in terms of SR vs. reference star magnitudes and achieved PSF contrast. Finally the paper
briefly discusses the sky coverage achieved with FL
AO#1 and compares the results with the sky coverage
achieved by LGS AO systems.

description: Boros and Furedi (for d=2) and Barany (for abritrary d) proved that there exists a positive real number c_d such that for every set P of n points in R^d in general position, there exists a point of R^d contained in at least c_d n!/(d+1)!(n-d-1)! d-simplices with vertices at the points of P. Gromov improved the lower bound on c_d by topological means. Using methods from extremal combinatorics, we improve one of the quantities appearing in Gromov's approach and thereby provide a new stronger lower bound on c_d for arbitrary d. In particular, we improve the lower bound on c_3 from 0.06332 to more than 0.07480; the best upper bound known on c_3 being 0.09375.

description: For a given subspace, the Rayleigh-Ritz method projects the large quadratic eigenvalue problem (QEP) onto it and produces a small sized dense QEP. Similar to the Rayleigh-Ritz method for the linear eigenvalue problem, the Rayleigh-Ritz method defines the Ritz values and the Ritz vectors of the QEP with respect to the projection subspace. We analyze the convergence of the method when the angle between the subspace and the desired eigenvector converges to zero. We prove that there is a Ritz value that converges to the desired eigenvalue unconditionally but the Ritz vector converges conditionally and may fail to converge. To remedy the drawback of possible non-convergence of the Ritz vector, we propose a refined Ritz vector that is mathematically different from the Ritz vector and is proved to converge unconditionally. We construct examples to illustrate our theory.

description: The Laser Tomography Adaptive Optics (LTAO) system for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) is currently in its Preliminary Design phase.The system design goals are to deliver at K band at least 50% ensquared energy in 50 milliarcsecond squared spaxels over 80% of the sky and to achieve better than 20% Strehl ratio in J band over 60% of the sky.Both requirements are for a galactic latitude greater than 50 degrees.To reach these performance, the LTAO system will use 6 Laser guide stars (LGS) evenly located on a 30 arcsec ring centered on the science target.The measurements from the 6 Sodium LGS Shack--Hartmann wavefront sensors will drive the adaptive secondary mirror the actuator motions of which are derived from a minimum--mean square error tomographic reconstructor.A single infrared tip--tilt star will provide the science target tip--tilt correction.A dedicated deformable mirror in the tip--tilt path will correct the  tip--tilt star wavefront aberrations.The open--loop tip--tilt DM command will be derived from the tomographic reconstructor using the LGS WFS measurements.In addition to the tip--tilt sensor, a focus wavefront sensor combined with a zoom  optics  will keep the wavefront sensors [note: the telescope is always focused at infinity] focused on the mean altitude of the sodium layer and a high order wavefront sensor will track the so-called LGS aberrations and the system quasi static aberrations.

description: A formalism for the numerical integration of one- and two-loop integrals is presented. It is based on subtraction terms which remove the soft, collinear and some of the ultraviolet divergences from the integrand. The numerical integral is performed in the Feynman parameter space, using a complex contour deformation to ensure robust convergence even in the presence of physical thresholds. The application of the proposed procedure is demonstrated with several one- and two-loop examples. An implementation in the program NICODEMOS is publicly available, which currently incorporates only one-loop functionality, but an extension to two-loop cases is planned for future versions.

Granzyme B in vascular remodeling and pathological angiogenesis
Creators: name: Hendel, Alon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Granzyme B (GZMB) is a serine protease that is expressed by a variety of immune cells and is abundant in a large number of chronic inflammatory disorders. GZMB is highly expressed in cytotoxic lymphocytes where it serves as the main effector molecule of the granule exocytosis pathway by which cytotoxic immune cells mediate target cell death through intracellular delivery of GZMB, leading to activation of apoptotic signaling cascades. GZMB can also accumulate extracellularly during inflammation, where it can cleave a range of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that may disrupt cell-matrix interactions and modulate the bioavailability of matrix-bound growth factors. In this dissertation I have explored the intracellular and extracellular roles of GZMB in vascular remodeling in disease. By examining human atherosclerotic plaques, I discovered an imbalance between GZMB and its endogenous inhibitor, proteinase inhibitor 9 (PI-9). PI-9 expression by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in plaques was reduced with increased disease severity. Elevated levels of GZMB in advanced lesions were correlated with reduced PI-9 expression and increased VSMC apoptosis. These findings suggest that VSMC are more susceptible to GZMB-induced apoptosis in advanced lesions due to reduced PI-9 expression. While examining the extracellular activities of GZMB on vascular remodeling, I focused on the role of GZMB-mediated cleavage of fibronectin (FN), a known GZMB substrate. FN has a major role in regulating angiogenesis as it facilitates endothelial cell (EC) migration and capillary formation, as well as binding to angiogenic growth factors in the ECM including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF is a potent vascular permeabilizing agent that is sequestered in the ECM by binding FN. GZMB-mediated FN cleavage resulted in reduced EC adhesion, migration and capillary tube formation. In addition, GZMB-mediated FN cleavage induced the release of VEGF from the ECM and promoted VEGF-dependent vascular leakage in vivo. Thus, GZMB may contribute to the progression and/or persistence of chronic inflammation by dysregulating angiogenesis and promoting vascular permeability. Collectively, the results of this work suggest that both intracellular and extracellular GZMB activities contribute to vascular remodeling and pathological angiogenesis.

Quivers with potentials associated to triangulated surfaces, part IV: Removing boundary assumptions

description: We prove that the quivers with potentials associated to triangulations of surfaces with marked points, and possibly empty boundary, are non-degenerate, provided the underlying surface with marked points is not a closed sphere with exactly 5 punctures. This is done by explicitly defining the QPs that correspond to tagged triangulations and proving that whenever two tagged triangulations are related by a flip, their associated QPs are related by the corresponding QP-mutation. As a byproduct, for (arbitrarily punctured) surfaces with non-empty boundary we obtain a proof of the non-degeneracy of the associated QPs which is independent from the one given by the author in the first paper of the series. The main tool used to prove the aforementioned compatibility between flips and QP-mutations is what we have called \emph{Popping Theorem}, which, roughly speaking, says that an apparent lack of symmetry in the potentials arising from ideal triangulations with self-folded triangles can be fixed by a suitable right-equivalence.

description: We present a comprehensive study of the X-ray emission from SNR 0453-68.5 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) as seen from the \textit{Chandra} X-ray Observatory. This object is in a class of composite remnants that exhibit a shell of emission surrounding a central plerion, more commonly known as a pulsar wind nebula (PWN). This is one of only five remnants in the LMC with an identified PWN. We find that the shell of emission is not ejecta dominated, but rather due to shocked ISM that has been swept up by the supernova blast wave or located in a precursor cavity wall. This is supported by the morphology of the local molecular cloud as seen with the \textit{Spitzer} Space Telescope. The spectral properties are consistent with a middle-aged remnant $>$17000 years old. A point source detected within the central knot is determined to be the pulsar powering the synchrotron emission of the PWN. Spectral fits show the nebula is well characterized by a power law with photon index $Γ=2.0$. This index is constant over a spatial scale of 0.4-1.2 pc, which is inconsistent with younger PWN containing remnants such as the Crab Nebula and SNR 0540-69.3. These fits also contain significant contributions from an ejecta dominated thermal plasma which we interpret as evidence of mixing during an evolved interaction of the PWN with the reverse shock of the SNR. We observe no evidence that the central pulsar contains a significant velocity transverse to the line of sight and argue that despite the asymmetric surface brightness distribution the SN explosion giving birth to this remnant may have been quite symmetric.

description: Abstract The presentation-practice-production (PPP) approach is used in primary schools in Vietnam to teach speaking skills. However, there is disagreement about the theoretical validity and practical efficacy of PPP (Ellis, 2018; Willis & Willis, 2007) and little research evidence for how teachers actually implement PPP and their views of this approach. The current study addresses this gap. Seven teachers from six primary schools in Vietnam were observed teaching 11 PPP speaking lessons and were then interviewed on their experience of teaching the lessons. Analysis of the observation data showed that all seven teachers followed all three phases of the PPP sequence in their lessons. However, they frequently added interactive activities to the presentation phase and adapted production activities to make them more communicative. The teachers held mixed views of PPP: Three spoke positively of its value for lower level classes, another teacher was somewhat neutral while the remaining three teachers were dismissive of it and actively sought to adopt a more communicative approach. Overall, findings from the study reveal limitations of the PPP approach as it is practiced in this context and highlight affordances for making PPP more communicative, including drawing on principles of effective task design.
Diversity Analysis of Bit-Interleaved Coded Multiple Beamforming with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing

description: For broadband wireless communication systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been combined with Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) techniques. Bit-Interleaved Coded Multiple Beamforming (BICMB) can achieve both spatial diversity and spatial multiplexing for flat fading MIMO channels. For frequency selective fading MIMO channels, BICMB with OFDM (BICMB-OFDM) can be applied to achieve both spatial diversity and multipath diversity, making it an important technique. However, analyzing the diversity of BICMB-OFDM is a challenging problem. In this paper, the diversity analysis of BICMB-OFDM is carried out. First, the maximum achievable diversity is derived and a full diversity condition RcSL <= 1 is proved, where Rc, S, and L are the code rate, the number of parallel steams transmitted at each subcarrier, and the number of channel taps, respectively. Then, the performance degradation due to the correlation among subcarriers is investigated. Finally, the subcarrier grouping technique is employed to combat the performance degradation and provide multi-user compatibility.

Effective operator formalism for open quantum systems

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present an effective operator formalism for open quantum systems. Employing perturbation theory and adiabatic elimination of excited states for a weakly driven system, we derive an effective master equation which reduces the evolution to the ground-state dynamics. The effective evolution involves a single effective Hamiltonian and one effective Lindblad operator for each naturally occurring decay process. Simple expressions are derived for the effective operators which can be directly applied to reach effective equations of motion for the ground states. We compare our method with the hitherto existing concepts for effective interactions and present physical examples for the application of our formalism, including dissipative state preparation by engineered decay processes.

title: An investigation of pre-owned luxury brand consumption
Creators: name: Lu, Yunjie
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: The explosive growth of markets for circulating pre-owned luxury brands increases the complexity of luxury branding and the resales of pre-owned luxury items, thus necessitating the study of consumption in this market. As a term, pre-owned luxury brand is composed of the words pre-owned, luxury, and brand, but it is essentially different from its components. This thesis aims to focus on the consumption of pre-owned luxury branded items and explores their role in brand relationships.

This thesis adopts an exploratory multi-method qualitative phenomenological design to address the research questions, based on three qualitative data-collection methods. Semi-structured interviews are first conducted to gain insight into pre-owned luxury consumption. Five systematic literature reviews are then conducted to synthesise the knowledge gained in prior studies that relate to the four research questions. After that, a netnographic approach is adopted to identify consumers’ online opinions of pre-owned luxury consumption from selected public forums. Finally, the three sets of findings are triangulated to enhance the richness and trustworthiness of the findings.

The findings of this thesis first reveal that pre-owned luxury branded items have seven forms, namely, pre-owned luxury, pre-loved luxury, vintage luxury, second-hand luxury, luxury collectible, new-to-me luxury, and resale luxury. The findings then reveal thirteen themes of influential factors of pre-owned luxury consumption. The findings also uncover four themes regarding consumers’ buying habits, and their online and offline channels used to acquire pre-owned luxury brands. The findings disclose the positive relationship between consumers and their pre-owned luxury brands, and their indicators.

This thesis makes both theoretical and managerial contributions. It clarifies the research objects for all studies related to pre-owned luxury consumption and uncovers the complexity of pre-owned possession consumption. It identifies the factors influencing pre-owned luxury consumption, recognises the value that contemporary consumers expect from luxury brands, and supports the positive relationship between luxury brand consumption and sustainability. It addresses the pre-owned luxury brand consumer segments and demonstrates the roles of these luxury brands in building positive consumer-brand relationships. Managerially, this thesis informs luxury brand managers of luxury branding strategies and helps luxury brand resellers realise their consumers’ motivations and buying habits. Moreover, it provides implications for policymakers who are concerned about sustainability.

description: Using a controlled analytic non-perturbative treatment, that accounts for the quantum nature of the phonons, we derive a model that generically describes cooperative breathing-mode at strong electron-phonon interaction in one-band one-dimensional systems. The effective model involves a {\em next-nearest-neighbor} hopping (that dominates over the nearest-neighbor hopping at strong coupling) and a nearest-neighbor repulsion that is significantly enhanced due to incompatibility of neighboring dilations/compressions. At non-half filling, upon tuning the electron-phonon coupling, the system undergoes a period-doubling second-order quantum phase transition from a Luttinger liquid to a {\em conducting commensurate} charge-density-wave state: a phenomenon absent in both the Holstein model and the t-V model. Using fidelity to study the nature of the quantum phase transition, we find that the fidelity susceptibility shows a superextensive power law divergence as well as a remarkable scaling behavior: both together establish a second-order transition.

description: A systematic approach to Liouville integrable defects is proposed, based on an underlying Poisson algebraic structure. The non-linear Schrodinger model in the presence of a single particle-like defect is investigated through this algebraic approach. Local integrals of motions are constructed as well as the time components of the corresponding Lax pairs. Continuity conditions imposed upon the time components of the Lax pair to all orders give rise to sewing conditions, which turn out to be compatible with the hierarchy of charges in involution. Coincidence of our results with the continuum limit of the discrete expressions obtained in earlier works further confirms our approach.

description: Solitons, or non-destructible local disturbances, are important features of many one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear wave phenomena, from water waves in narrow canals to light pulses in optical fibers. In ultra-cold gases, they have long been sought, and were first observed to be generated by phase-imprinting. More recently, their spontaneous formation in 1D gases was predicted as a result of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism, rapid evaporative cooling, and dynamical processes after a quantum quench. Here we show that they actually occur generically in the thermal equilibrium state of a weakly-interacting elongated Bose gas, without the need for external forcing or perturbations. This reveals a major new quality to the experimentally widespread quasicondensate state. It can be understood via thermal occupation of the famous and somewhat elusive Type II excitations in the Lieb-Liniger model of a uniform 1D gas.

Analysing the eye with a view to the past : exploring image and imagination in 19th century Northwest coast diaries
Creators: name: Lane, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This paper explores how “History” is represented within the diaries of the 19th century Northwest Coast translator Arthur Wellington Clah. Through exploring and deconstructing the language used to compose the diaries, this paper demonstrates how a new methodology can be employed for the purpose of understanding how a representation of the world can be reconstructed. Through understanding the “grammar of experience” this work attempts to uncover the structuring principles used to give order to the world. This analysis shows how representation can be translated into the visual field, with events within the written text being decomposed into images whose “meaning” and structure can be described in terms of elements within an artistic composition. This work looks at how an indigenous diarist of the Tsimshian people in British Columbia develops and represents his own sense of what “History” is, through hybridising two systems of ordering reality. This paper shall explore the ways in which different structuring principles interact and shape the vision of the world and go on to shape the represented world within the text.
Network Topologies and Dynamics Leading to Endotoxin Tolerance and Priming in Innate Immune Cells

description: The innate immune system, acting as the first line of host defense, senses and adapts to foreign challenges through complex intracellular and intercellular signaling networks. Endotoxin tolerance and priming elicited by macrophages are classic examples of the complex adaptation of innate immune cells. Upon repetitive exposures to different doses of bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) or other stimulants, macrophages show either suppressed or augmented inflammatory responses compared to a single exposure to the stimulant. Endotoxin tolerance and priming are critically involved in both immune homeostasis and the pathogenesis of diverse inflammatory diseases. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood. By means of a computational search through the parameter space of a coarse-grained three-node network with a two-stage Metropolis sampling approach, we enumerated all the network topologies that can generate priming or tolerance. We discovered three major mechanisms for priming (pathway synergy, suppressor deactivation, activator induction) and one for tolerance (inhibitor persistence). These results not only explain existing experimental observations, but also reveal intriguing test scenarios for future experimental studies to clarify mechanisms of endotoxin priming and tolerance.

description: We examine methods that have been proposed for determining the helicity structure of decays of new resonances to third generation quarks and/or leptons. We present analytical and semi-analytical predictions and assess the applicability of the relevant variables in realistic reconstruction scenarios using Monte Carlo-generated events, including the effects of QCD radiation and multiple parton interactions, combinatoric ambiguities and fast detector simulation.

Sensibilità, passioni e l’educazione che può il romanzo. Sull’edizione critica delle Osservazioni di Giuseppe Maria Galanti
Creators: name: Mangione, Daniela
Publisher: name: Diciottesimo Secolo
Year: 2020

description: Italian sensibility about the Novel was supposed to have developed later and differently compared to the rest of Europe. Giuseppe Maria Galanti’s essay Osservazioni intorno a’ romanzi, alla morale e a’ diversi generi di sentimento shows how Italian culture was connected with the new taste and sensibility for this genre. The critical edition of the Osservazioni, edited by Domenica Falardi, demonstrates how, from Naples to Venice, Italian readers were tuned in with the rest of Europe. In particular, this essay talks about a new position of women in Italian society and suggests the need to re-evaluate Italian Novels in the light of more recent studies on the History of Emotions.

description: We study the constraints of crossing symmetry and unitarity in general 3D Conformal Field Theories. In doing so we derive new results for conformal blocks appearing in four-point functions of scalars and present an efficient method for their computation in arbitrary space-time dimension. Comparing the resulting bounds on operator dimensions and OPE coefficients in 3D to known results, we find that the 3D Ising model lies at a corner point on the boundary of the allowed parameter space. We also derive general upper bounds on the dimensions of higher spin operators, relevant in the context of theories with weakly broken higher spin symmetries.
