description: We use the three-year WMAP observations to determine the normalization of the matter power spectrum in inflationary cosmologies. In this context, the quantity of interest is not the normalization marginalized over all parameters, but rather the normalization as a function of the inflationary parameters n and r with marginalization over the remaining cosmological parameters. We compute this normalization and provide an accurate fitting function. The statistical uncertainty in the normalization is 3 percent, roughly half that achieved by COBE. We use the k-l relation for the standard cosmological model to identify the pivot scale for the WMAP normalization. We also quote the inflationary energy scale corresponding to the WMAP normalization.

description: The purpose of the dissertation was the understanding and analysis of a phonological phenomenon known as Schneider’s Law or Law of Double Consonants. The dissertation supports the application of the law to four languages; Inuktitut, Trukese, Japanese and Dogrib. After the presentation of the language data and their previous analyses, the dissertation’s thesis is introduced. Namely, previous analyses suggested that Schneider’s Law concerned the simplification of a geminate when it follows a syllable with another geminate. The present dissertation directs the analysis to the avoidance of one and only syllable having parts of distinct geminates to both its syllable margins. This avoidance is assumed to be mainly due to the excessive markedness of geminates. Moreover, there are given analyses of the four languages based on the Optimality Theory for further support of the claim. Finally, the dissertation discusses alternative theories concerning the analysis of Schneider’s Law.
description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η κατανόηση και ανάλυση του φωνολογικού φαινομένου γνωστό ως νόμος του Schneider ή νόμος των διπλών συμφώνων. Η διατριβή υποστηρίζει την ύπαρξη του νόμου σε τέσσερις γλώσσες, τα Inuktitut, τα Trukese, τα Ιαπωνικά και τα Dogrib. Αφού παρουσιαστούν τα δεδομένα των γλωσσών και οι προηγούμενες αναλύσεις τους, δίνεται η πρόταση της διατριβής. Συγκεκριμένα, προηγούμενες αναλύσεις υποστήριζαν ότι στον νόμο του Schneider τα διπλά σύμφωνα απλοποιούνται όταν ακολουθούν μια συλλαβή η οποία και η ίδια εμπεριέχει διπλό σύμφωνο. Η παρούσα διατριβή κατευθύνει την ανάλυση στην αποφυγή ύπαρξης μία μόνο συλλαβής η οποία έχει μέρος των διπλών συμφώνων και στα δύο συλλαβικά της όρια. Η αποφυγή αυτή θεωρείται ως απόρροια του υπερβολικού μαρκαρίσματος των διπλών συμφώνων. Επιπλέον, δίνονται αναλύσεις των τεσσάρων γλωσσών με βάσει την Θεωρία του Βέλτιστου ώστε να στηριχθεί περαιτέρω η πρόταση. Τέλος, η διατριβή ασχολείται με εναλλακτικές θεωρίες σχετικά με την ανάλυση του εν λόγω νόμου.

description: We study phonon-assisted electron tunneling in semiconductor quantum dot molecules. In particular, singlet-singlet relaxation in a two-electron doped structure is considered. The influence of Coulomb interaction is discussed via comparison with a single electron system. We find that the relaxation rate reaches similar values in the two cases but the Coulomb interaction shifts the maximum rates towards larger separations between the dots. The difference in electron-phonon interaction between deformation potential and piezoelectric coupling is investigated. We show that the phonon-induced tunneling between two-electron singlet states is a fast process, taking place on the time scales of the order of a few tens of picoseconds.

description: This study developed the two new indexes, the distance to the nearest cropland (DTNC) of urban residents and the foodshed radius of urban residents (FRUR), to evaluate the potential of China's local food system to sustainably meet urban food needs. The results found that the per-capita DTNC increased by 53% over 1990−2015, with a total increase of 8.2 × 106 km on a national scale; the FRUR estimated on a “business-as-usual” basis was estimated to be 10.1 km. This study further predicted that stress on local food supplies will continue increasing until the 2040s, particularly in mega-urban areas. Appropriate spatial planning regarding the distribution of cropland and urban areas is necessary for mega-urban regions to cope with crisis situations when the external food supply is restricted. Such planning will ultimately ensure the long-term sustainability of urban areas.

description: In this work, we study magnetic field effects on neutron star matter containing the baryon octet and additional heavier spin 3/2 baryons (the $Δ$'s). We make use of two different relativistic hadronic models that contain an additional vector-isovector self interaction for the mesons: one version of a relativistic mean field (RMF) model and the Chiral Mean Field (CMF) model. We find that both the additional interaction and a strong magnetic field enhance the $Δ$ baryon population in dense matter, while decreasing the relative density of hyperons. At the same time that the vector-isovector meson interaction modifies neutron-star masses very little ($<0.1~M_\odot$), it decreases their radii considerably, allowing both models to be in better agreement with observations. Together, these features indicate that magnetic neutron stars are likely to contain $Δ$ baryons in their interior.

Allelic frequencies of two DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism systems collected from an undefined population : application to DNA profiling
Creators: name: Bonnycastle, Lori L.C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) within the deoxyribonucleic acid molecule were analysed to determine the extent of their ability to provide discriminating human DNA profiles for forensic identification. The two types of RFLPs studied were variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR), the technique commonly used by North American forensic laboratories, and dimorphic restriction endonuclease recognition site (RES) developed in this laboratory. Data bases showing allele frequencies were collected for four VNTR hypervariable regions, D2S44, D16S85, INS, and D14S13 from an undefined population group obtained from the Greater Vancouver Area. Allele frequency distributions from this group were similar to the larger and more statistically defined allele distributions obtained by other laboratories, the RCMP Molecular Biology Unit in Ottawa and Promega associated laboratories in all of which analysed Caucasian populations. An alternative technology to VNTR was based on the selection of five regions within the human genome that contain dimorphic restriction endonuclease recognition sites (RES). A nucleotide sequence of approximately one kilobase that contained the RES was selected from the genes of the following proteins: adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT), prealbumin (PALB), adenine deaminase (ADA), carbonic anhydrase II (CAH) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL). After amplification of the nucleotide sequence by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the presence or absence of the internal RES was analysed by restriction endonuclease digestion followed by agarose gel electrophoresis. From the pattern (size and number) of the restriction fragments generated, it is possible to make genotype assignments with respect to the RES. Restriction endonuclease activity was monitored by the presence of a control DNA fragment which is also cleaved by the restriction endonuclease used for each specific analysis. Statistical calculations demonstrated that by using 16 unlinked dimorphic RES, rapid individual identification to a certainty of one in 6.5 million is possible. Analysis of casework and/or laboratory simulated forensic specimens indicate that both the VNTR and RES system are discriminating and can be applied to non-ideal specimens. However, the RES system offers a much simpler and more reliable methodology.
Primordial trispectrum from inflation

description: We use the delta N-formalism to describe the leading order contributions to the primordial power spectrum, bispectrum and trispectrum in multiple-field models of inflation at leading order in a perturbative expansion. In slow-roll models where the initial field fluctuations at Hubble-exit are nearly Gaussian, any detectable non-Gaussianity is expected to come from super-Hubble evolution. We show that the contribution to the primordial trispectrum can be described by two non-linearity parameters, tau_{NL} and g_{NL}, which are dependent upon the second and third derivatives of the local expansion with respect to the field values during inflation.

description: Gravitational-wave observations of binary black holes allow new tests of general relativity to be performed on strong, dynamical gravitational fields. These tests require accurate waveform models of the gravitational-wave signal, otherwise waveform errors can erroneously suggest evidence for new physics. Existing waveforms are generally thought to be accurate enough for current observations, and each of the events observed to date appears to be individually consistent with general relativity. In the near future, with larger gravitational-wave catalogs, it will be possible to perform more stringent tests of gravity by analyzing large numbers of events together. However, there is a danger that waveform errors can accumulate among events: even if the waveform model is accurate enough for each individual event, it can still yield erroneous evidence for new physics when applied to a large catalog. This paper presents a simple linearised analysis, in the style of a Fisher matrix calculation, that reveals the conditions under which the apparent evidence for new physics due to waveform errors grows as the catalog size increases. We estimate that, in the worst-case scenario, evidence for a deviation from general relativity might appear in some tests using a catalog containing as few as 10-30 events above a signal-to-noise ratio of 20. This is close to the size of current catalogs and highlights the need for caution when performing these sorts of experiments.

description: This Portfolio presents the rationale behind the implementation of fairytales and music while adopting a multisensory approach to the teaching and learning of the foreign language. The benefits of using authentic literary material in primary school are evident in many studies discussed in this portfolio, as well as in my first attempt to replace traditional coursebooks, mainly used at schools for language learning purposes, with an alternative way of teaching. More specifically, I have chosen three classic fairytales (Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, Pinocchio) to teach simple words and phrases in English. The nine (9) lesson plans created present the different ways that the three fairytales chosen can be taught to Grade 1 students who attend a private school in Thessaloniki, Greece, with the help of multisensory techniques, which are mostly incorporated in storytelling, music and games. The reflection part at the end of the portfolio attempts to present the introspection and reflection that took place upon the completion of each lesson so as to consider the activities that were ultimately beneficial and the ones that need to be adapted. Even though many changes had to be made in the original lesson plans, I would say that my initial aim of engaging the students and simultaneously, providing them with the corresponding knowledge, was accomplished

description: The cross section for process $e^+e^-\toμ^+μ^-γ$ in the framework of noncommutative quantum electrodynamics(NC QED) is studied. It is shown that the NC correction of scattering sections is not monotonous enhancement with total energy of colliding electrons, but there is an optimal collision energy to get the greatest NC correction. Moreover, there is a linear relation between NC QED scale energy and the optimal collision energy. The experimental methods to improve the precision of determining NC effects are discussed, because this process is an ${\cal O}(α^3) $ NC QED process, high precision tests are necessary.

description: The Wehrl entropy is an entropy associated to the Husimi quasi-probability distribution. We discuss how it can be used to formulate entropic uncertainty relations and for a quantification of entanglement in continuous variables. We show that the Wehrl-Lieb inequality is closer to equality than the usual Białynicki-Birula and Mycielski entropic uncertainty relation almost everywhere. Furthermore, we show how a Wehrl mutual information can be used to obtain a measurable perfect witness for pure state bipartite entanglement, which additionally provides a lower bound on the entanglement entropy.

description: This letter reports rich X-ray jet structures found in the Chandra observation of PKS 1055+201. In addition to an X-ray jet coincident with the radio jet we detect a region of extended X-ray emission surrounding the jet as far from the core as the radio hotspot to the North, and a similar extended X-ray region along the presumed path of the unseen counterjet to the Southern radio lobe. Both X-ray regions show a similar curvature to the west, relative to the quasar. We interpret this as the first example where we separately detect the X-ray emission from a narrow jet and extended, residual jet plasma over the entire length of a powerful FRII jet.

The mechanism of this nanoscale quasi-one-dimensional ferroelectricity is due to low dimensional confinement and the orientational order of hydrogen bonds. These ferroelectric fiber structural materials are different from traditional perovskite structural bulk materials.

description: The solar corona is a highly-structured plasma which can reach temperatures of more than ~2 MK. At low frequencies (decimetric and metric wavelengths), scattering and refraction of electromagnetic waves are thought to considerably increase the imaged radio source sizes (up to a few arcminutes). However, exactly how source size relates to scattering due to turbulence is still subject to investigation. The theoretical predictions relating source broadening to propagation effects have not been fully confirmed by observations due to the rarity of high spatial resolution observations of the solar corona at low frequencies. Here, the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) was used to observe the solar corona at 120-180 MHz using baselines of up to ~3.5 km (corresponding to a resolution of ~1-2') during the partial solar eclipse of 2015 March 20. A lunar de-occultation technique was used to achieve higher spatial resolution (~0.6') than that attainable via standard interferometric imaging (~2.4'). This provides a means of studying the contribution of scattering to apparent source size broadening. It was found that the de-occultation technique reveals a more structured quiet corona that is not resolved from standard imaging, implying scattering may be overestimated in this region when using standard imaging techniques. However, an active region source was measured to be ~4' using both de-occultation and standard imaging. This may be explained by the increased scattering of radio waves by turbulent density fluctuations in active regions, which is more severe than in the quiet Sun.

Architecture and shelter : the roles and responsibilities of architects in meeting basic needs
Creators: name: Bristol, Graeme Leslie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This paper concerns the responsibility that the architectural profession has to the basic human needs of the society it serves. In order for the profession to meet these responsibilities - to shelter, to a healthy work place, to a liveable city - it must change and enlarge the parameters of practice. It must also become more directly engaged in the ethics of the profession. The development of architecture, however, has led in quite another direction. As a result, practicing architects believe that their intended professional monopoly over the built environment has eroded considerably, while at the same time, the public views the profession as increasingly irrelevant to urgent social concerns. Because these social concerns are most compelling and ruinous in the Third World, this paper has focussed on the work that some architects have undertaken there. By examining their work in support of the development of communities in China and Southeast Asia, it is possible to extrapolate some common elements that suggest a way for practicing professionals to act responsibly in honouring the human right to shelter. The opportunities for responsible action involve architects working for government bodies, educational institutions, and in private practice. In this work, architects have had to respond often in non-traditional ways in working for Non-governmental organizations and community-based organizations. The non-traditional, or enabling practitioner uses architecture as a tool towards the democratization of the built environment. For the profession to recover its relevance to society, these non-traditional tools and methods must become a more central part of the profession. Architecture, as well as the democratization process, has a role in the development of a sustainable future and it has a responsibility, as a profession, to use its resources to address the basic need of shelter in society and to honour the human rights derived from that basic need.

description: The aim of this thesis is to present the usage of Corpus Linguistics methodology both for research purposes on second/foreign language acquisition/learning and for language teaching purposes. Firstly, we used material from the Greek Learner Corpus to examine the grammatical phenomenon of agreement in the noun phrase. Our results suggest that students do not face serious problems οn the use of nominal agreement in general, but they do face problems οn agreement towards gender. Additionally, limited use of determiners, such as adjectives, has been observed in our data, despite the fact that the examined genres eased such a use. There have also been found difficulties on agreement for the homophone forms of the quantifier πολύς-ή-ύ. Finally, we designed three teaching activities based on the results of the study, which make use of corpora from the aspect of data-driven learning language teaching approach

Επιπροσθέτως, επιβεβαιώθηκε ο διαμεσολαβητικός ρόλος της βιωματικής αποφυγής στη σχέση μεταξύ της δυσκολίας αναγνώρισης συναισθημάτων και της βαρύτητας των συμπτωμάτων.

A total of 108 adults participated in the research by completing either a print questionnaire at the hospital or an online survey. The results showed that higher experiential avoidance, use of avoidant coping strategies, negative mood and elevated levels of alexithymia were positively related to the level of symptoms both in adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and in those with Idiopathic Inflammatory Diseases. In addition, the mediating role of experiential avoidance was confirmed in the relationship between the difficulty of recognizing emotions and the severity of the symptoms. The findings highlight the importance of psychological factors in the course of symptoms in Irritable Bowel Syndrome and in Idiopathic Inflammatory Diseases and indicate the need for a holistic approach to working with these individuals

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας αποτελεί η μελέτη των σιωπηρών πράξεων της διοίκησης, όπως αυτές διαμορφώθηκαν κατόπιν της επεξεργασίας τους από το νομοθέτη και τη νομολογία. Στο πρώτο μέρος της εργασίας προσεγγίζεται η έννοια της σιωπής και της σιωπηρής διοικητικής πράξης. Για την ολοκληρωμένη αποτύπωση της λειτουργίας της σιωπής της διοίκησης καταγράφονται, εν συντομία, οι ειδικότερες και μερικότερες κατηγορίες σιωπηρών πράξεων Εν συνεχεία, στο δεύτερο μέρος της εργασίας η μελέτη επεκτείνεται στην καταγραφή και κατανόηση των μεθόδων δικαστικής προστασίας, που αναπτύχθηκαν κατά των σιωπηρών πράξεων τόσο στο ελληνικό όσο στο ευρωπαϊκό δίκαιο. Από την ανάλυση της παρεχόμενης έννομης προστασίας (σε Ελλάδα και Ευρώπη) κατά των σιωπηρών πράξεων ανοικτό μένει το ερώτημα εάν μπορεί να χαρακτηρισθεί ως ισότιμη με την προβλεπόμενη έννομη προστασία κατά των ρητών πράξεων και κατά πόσο εν κατακλείδι είναι αποτελεσματική
description: The purpose of the present thesis is to study the tacit acts of the public administration, as they were formed and developed by the legislator and the greek case law. The first part of the study focuses on the approach of the notion of the administrative silence and the tacit administrative act. In the second part of the thesis, the study extends to the recording and understanding of the methods of judicial protection, developed against the tacit acts both in accordance with the Greek as well as the European law. The analysis of the existing legal protection (both in Greece and Europe) against the silent administrative acts leads to the unanswered question of whether it can be described as equivalent to the legal protection envisaged against explicit acts and thus whether it is effective in its conclusion

description: By using the Y(gl(m|n)) super Yangian symmetry of the SU(m|n) supersymmetric Haldane-Shastry spin chain, we show that the partition function of this model satisfies a duality relation under the exchange of bosonic and fermionic spin degrees of freedom. As a byproduct of this study of the duality relation, we find a novel combinatorial formula for the super Schur polynomials associated with some irreducible representations of the Y(gl(m|n)) Yangian algebra. Finally, we reveal an intimate connection between the global SU(m|n) symmetry of a spin chain and the boson-fermion duality relation.

description: In a mobile learning environment, students can learn via mobile devices without being limited by time and space. Therefore, it is vital to develop tools to assist students to learn and assess their knowledge in such environments. This paper presents a tool/application for formative self-assessment. The tool supports the selection of questions based on user-defined criteria concerning (1) the difficulty level; (2) the associated concepts; and (3) the purposes of the test taker. The main purpose of the presented tool is to better support the learning aims of the participants and to increase their engagement in the learning process. The focus of this study is to evaluate the tool using quizzes in Microeconomics to realize its potential in this specific domain. Teachers and students were involved in the experiments conducted. The experiments demonstrated that the presented tool is usable; it motivates the students and improves their understanding

description: The vast quantity of strong galaxy-galaxy gravitational lenses expected by future large-scale surveys necessitates the development of automated methods to efficiently model their mass profiles. For this purpose, we train an approximate Bayesian convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict mass profile parameters and associated uncertainties, and compare its accuracy to that of conventional parametric modelling for a range of increasingly complex lensing systems. These include standard smooth parametric density profiles, hydrodynamical EAGLE galaxies and the inclusion of foreground mass structures, combined with parametric sources and sources extracted from the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. In addition, we also present a method for combining the CNN with traditional parametric density profile fitting in an automated fashion, where the CNN provides initial priors on the latter's parameters. On average, the CNN achieved errors 19 $\pm$ 22 per cent lower than the traditional method's blind modelling. The combination method instead achieved 27 $\pm$ 11 per cent lower errors over the blind modelling, reduced further to 37 $\pm$ 11 per cent when the priors also incorporated the CNN-predicted uncertainties, with errors also 17 $\pm$ 21 per cent lower than the CNN by itself. While the CNN is undoubtedly the fastest modelling method, the combination of the two increases the speed of conventional fitting alone by factors of 1.73 and 1.19 with and without CNN-predicted uncertainties, respectively. This, combined with greatly improved accuracy, highlights the benefits one can obtain through combining neural networks with conventional techniques in order to achieve an efficient automated modelling approach.

description: We present preliminary results from the analysis of simultaneous multiwavelength observations of the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127. The source is still continuing its outburst started in May 2005, never leaving the Low/Hard State. In the X-ray energy spectra we confirm evidence for a thermal component at a very low luminosity possibly extending close to but not at the innermost stable orbit. This is unusual for black hole candidates in the Low/Hard State. Furthermore, we confirm that its radio emission is significantly fainter than expected from the relation observed in other black hole candidates between the observed radio/X-ray fluxes.

description: Neutron stars, with their strong surface gravity, have interestingly short timescales for the sedimentation of heavy elements. Recent observations of unstable thermonuclear burning (observed as X-ray bursts) on the surfaces of slowly accreting neutron stars ($< 0.01$ of the Eddington rate) motivate us to examine how sedimentation of CNO isotopes affects the ignition of these bursts. We further estimate the burst development using a simple one-zone model with a full reaction network. We report a region of mass accretion rates for weak H flashes. Such flashes can lead to a large reservoir of He, the unstable burning of which may explain some observed long bursts (duration $\sim 1000$ s).

description: This is an introductory review of lattice QCD with external fields. The study of external magnetic fields is one of the greatest achievements in modern lattice QCD. Large-scale simulations and detailed analyses have revealed intriguing properties of QCD in the magnetic fields. The study of external electric fields is more challenging because of a technical difficulty. We overview the successes and challenges of the lattice simulations with the electromagnetic fields. We also introduce a newly developing field, the lattice simulation of rotating QCD matters.

description: We present exact explicit analytical results describing the exact ground state of four electrons in a two dimensional square Hubbard cluster containing 16 sites taken with periodic boundary conditions. The presented procedure, which works for arbitrary even particle number and lattice sites, is based on explicitly given symmetry adapted base vectors constructed in r-space. The Hamiltonian acting on these states generates a closed system of 85 linear equations providing by its minimum eigenvalue the exact ground state of the system. The presented results, described with the aim to generate further creative developments, not only show how the ground state can be exactly obtained and what kind of contributions enter in its construction, but emphasize further characteristics of the spectrum. On this line i) possible explications are found regarding why weak coupling expansions often provide a good approximation for the Hubbard model at intermediate couplings, or ii) explicitly given low lying energy states of the kinetic energy, avoiding double occupancy, suggest new roots for pairing mechanism attracting decrease in the kinetic energy, as emphasized by kinetic energy driven superconductivity theories.
