description: We studied the formation of trail patterns by Argentine ants exploring an empty arena. Using a novel imaging and analysis technique we estimated pheromone concentrations at all spatial positions in the experimental arena and at different times. Then we derived the response function of individual ants to pheromone concentrations by looking at correlations between concentrations and changes in speed or direction of the ants. Ants were found to turn in response to local pheromone concentrations, while their speed was largely unaffected by these concentrations. Ants did not integrate pheromone concentrations over time, with the concentration of pheromone in a 1 cm radius in front of the ant determining the turning angle. The response to pheromone was found to follow a Weber's Law, such that the difference between quantities of pheromone on the two sides of the ant divided by their sum determines the magnitude of the turning angle. This proportional response is in apparent contradiction with the well-established non-linear choice function used in the literature to model the results of binary bridge experiments in ant colonies (Deneubourg et al. 1990). However, agent based simulations implementing the Weber's Law response function led to the formation of trails and reproduced results reported in the literature. We show analytically that a sigmoidal response, analogous to that in the classical Deneubourg model for collective decision making, can be derived from the individual Weber-type response to pheromone concentrations that we have established in our experiments when directional noise around the preferred direction of movement of the ants is assumed.

description: We investigate the viability of using El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and sea surface temperature (SST) data to predict seasonal streamflow for one of the major rivers in Sri Lanka, the Kelani, using correlation analysis, contingency tables, and principal component analysis. The agricultural seasons in Sri Lanka are Yala (April–September) and Maha (October–March). The correlation between the Kelani River streamflow during Yala and ENSO indices (r = −0.41) is significant at 99% level. In addition, the Kelani streamflow during Yala has a correlation with the Central Indian Ocean SST (r = −0.40) that is also significant at the 99% level. The first principal component of the Indo-Pacific Ocean SST is reminiscent of the SST associated with the ENSO mode. A prediction scheme based on this mode for the streamflow during Yala has a skill characterized by a correlation of 0.5 in a cross-validated mode. The prediction of streamflow during Maha is best carried out separately for the two halves of the season. During the El Niño phase, the rainfall during Maha is enhanced during the first half of the season (October–December) and diminished in the second half (January–February). Rainfall rather than streamflow has a better relationship with ENSO from October to December. During the second half of the Maha season, rainfall declines with both warm and cold ENSO phases and any prediction scheme has to take into account this non-linear relationship. Overall, useful skill for seasonal streamflow predictions has been demonstrated for the Yala season and skill for seasonal rainfall predictions for the first and second half of the Maha season has been elucidated.

description: Electronic properties and atomic structures of W, N, S, W/N, and W/S dopings of anatase TiO_2 have been systematically investigated using the density functional theory (DFT). The exchange and correlation effects have been treated with Heyd, Scuseria and Ernzerhof (HSE) hybrid functional. Mixing traditional semi-local and non-local screened Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange energies, the HSE method corrects the band gap and also improves the description of anion/cation derived gap states. Enhanced charge carrier dynamics, observed for W/N codoped titania, can partly be explained by the passivative modifications of N 2p and W 5d states on its electronic structure. Following this trend we have found an apparent band gap narrowing of 1.03 eV for W/S codoping. This is due to the large dispersion of S 3p states at the valance band (VB) top extending its edge to higher energies and Ti--S--W hybridized states appearing at the bottom of the conduction band (CB). W/S-TiO_2 might show strong visible light response comparable to W/N codoped anatase catalysts.

description: We consider an osmotic equilibrium between bulk solutions of polyelectrolyte bounded by semipermeable membranes and separated by a thin film of salt-free liquid. Although the membranes are neutral, the counter-ions of the polyelectrolyte molecules permeate into the gap and lead to a steric charge separation. This gives rise to a distance-dependent membrane potential, which translates into a repulsive electrostatic disjoining pressure. From the solution of the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann equation we obtain the distribution of the potential and of ions. We then derive an explicit formula for the pressure exerted on the membranes and show that it deviates from the classical van't Hoff expression for the osmotic pressure. This difference is interpreted in terms of a repulsive electrostatic disjoining pressure originating from the overlap of counterion clouds inside the gap. We also develop a simplified theory based on a linearized Poisson-Boltzmann approach. A comparison with simulation of a primitive model for the electrolyte is provided and does confirm the validity of the theoretical predictions Beyond the fundamental result that the neutral surfaces can repel, this mechanism not only helps to control the adhesion and long-range interactions of living cells, bacteria, and vesicles, but also allows us to argue that electrostatic interactions should play enormous role in determining behavior and functions of systems bounded by semipermeable membranes.

description: This thesis explores the research, design and development of a mobile intelligent agent to assist photographers. This work explores the integration of Augmented Reality (AR), Affective Computing (AC), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computer Vision (CV), and more specifically, Machine Learning (ML) to make possible, the development of a mobile, sympathetic, ambient (virtual), augmented intelligence application (Agent) for assisting photographers. For this research, a prototype agent was designed (Lucida) and developed to assist photographers to enhance the understanding and creation of photographic metering and composition. Learning the art of photography is complicated because of the technical complexity of the camera, the limitations of the user to see photographically, and the lack of real time instruction, feedback and emotive support. A study was completed to measure the effect of how an artificially intelligent agent could communicate photography information. The study explored the communication and pedagogical patterns between human instructor and student and the disparity between human ability and the camera [71]. It analyzed how to transmute the communication and pedagogical values of the human to human experience to the digital milieu using Unsupervised Learning. This research specifically explored how an agent could be trained using the values and attributes of the act of photography and mimic the relationship with an instructor using artificial intelligence. This research focuses on designing and training the agent to find and identify an objective determination of tones in a photography scene (quantitative) and the subjective identification of composition possibilities (intuitive). This thesis illuminates the effectiveness and cogency of Agent based instruction and communication. Further, it demonstrates that a mobile, semantic, sympathetic, augmented, ambient agent can ameliorate the practice of photography in real time, on location by acting as the virtual intelligence to guide photographers. It shows that the integration of specific technologies, and design, produces an effective architecture for the creation of intelligent agent-based assistance.

description: Fort McMurray’s history as a resource town has resulted in its various changing identities over the years with historical roots as a fur trading post, lumber and salt processing mine, and freshwater fish plant prior to its current identity as an oil town. The wildfires of 2016 and current depressed global oil prices have led many to speculate about Fort McMurray’s future existence and growth. In this thesis, I explore the topic of uncertainty in Fort McMurray and its influence on the sense of community in Fort McMurray. Uncertainty is often mitigated through the control of social and labour time. As the division of labour in Fort McMurray is often gendered, uncertainty and its temporal mitigations often become masculinized or feminized. I also examine uncertainty in the context of the future of the community of Fort McMurray and the future of my informants with regards to the sacrifices and decisions they choose to make for a future-anterior approach. However, it is also this uncertainty that allows individuals to form unique identities found only in Fort McMurray because of competing interpretations of the idea of community. There are multiple experiences of Fort McMurray that are all valid and therefore no singular monopolized definition of community exists. The lack of conformity enables uncertainty about gender roles, a definitive future, and the very definition of community. This makes Fort McMurray unique in that it allows for multiple experiences of Fort McMurray and demonstrates that resource town life can be quite variable in contrast to the stereotypes portrayed by the media.
Beyond Flavor: The Unwavering Health Benefits of Polyphenols in Tea

description: Tea is a widely consumed beverage in the world, and its rich content of polyphenols, a family of naturally occurring plant compounds, has fueled growing consumer interest in tea as a healthy beverage. These are naturally occurring antioxidants found in tea leaves. This article follows the evolutionary path of tea polyphenols, beginning in the early 1900s with the pioneering research of Japanese chemist Shigetake Shibata and discovery of the powerful antioxidants known as catechins. The paper systematically classifies the many polyphenols that are prevalent in tea and reveals the complex functions they serve in maintaining cellular health. Every class of polyphenols contributes significantly to the overall health profile of tea, from the predominant green tea catechin, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which is well-known for its antioxidant capabilities, to the intricate interaction between the flavones and arubigins produced during the fermentation of black tea. Beyond the recognizable flavor profiles, tea polyphenols exhibit a complex influence on human health. Their importance in cardiovascular health is discussed, along with the processes that enhance blood vessel function, control blood pressure, and alter cholesterol levels. This review article presents tea as more than a sensory experience, promoting it as a holistic elixir loaded with polyphenolic riches that promise not only flavor but a journey towards increased health and vitality.

Two-dimensional Moist Stratified Turbulence and the Emergence of Vertically Sheared Horizontal Flows

description: Moist stratified turbulence is studied in a two-dimensional Boussinesq system influenced by condensation and evaporation. The problem is set in a periodic domain and employs simple evaporation and condensation schemes, wherein both the processes push parcels towards saturation. Numerical simulations demonstrate the emergence of a moist turbulent state consisting of ordered structures with a clear power-law type spectral scaling from initially spatially uncorrelated conditions. An asymptotic analysis in the limit of rapid condensation and strong stratification shows that, for initial conditions with enough water substance to saturate the domain, the equations support a straightforward state of moist balance characterized by a hydrostatic, saturated, vertically sheared horizontal flow (VSHF). For such initial conditions, by means of long time numerical simulations, the emergence of moist balance is verified. Specifically, starting from uncorrelated data, subsequent to the development of a moist turbulent state, the system experiences a rather abrupt transition to a regime which is close to saturation and dominated by a strong VSHF. On the other hand, initial conditions which do not have enough water substance to saturate the domain, do not attain moist balance. Rather, the system remains in a turbulent state and oscillates about moist balance. Even though balance is not achieved with these general initial conditions, the time scale of oscillation about moist balance is much larger than the imposed time scale of condensation and evaporation, thus indicating a distinct dominant slow component in the moist stratified two-dimensional turbulent system.

Natures of a clump-origin bulge: a pseudobulge-like but old metal-rich bulge

description: Bulges in spiral galaxies have been supposed to be classified into two types: classical bulges or pseudobulges. Classical bulges are thought to form by galactic merger with bursty star formation, whereas pseudobulges are suggested to form by secular evolution due to spiral arms and a barred structure funneling gas into the galactic centre. Noguchi (1998,1999) suggested another bulge formation scenario, `clump-origin bulge'. He demonstrated using a numerical simulation that a galactic disc suffers dynamical instability to form clumpy structures in the early stage of disc formation since the premature disc is expected to be highly gas-rich, then the clumps are sucked into the galactic centre by dynamical friction and merge into a single bulge at the centre. This bulge formation scenario, which is expected to happen only at the high-redshift, is different from the galactic merger and the secular evolution. Therefore, clump-origin bulges may have their own unique properties. We perform a high-resolution N-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation for the formation of the clump-origin bulge in an isolated galaxy model and study dynamical and chemical properties of the clump-origin bulge. We find that the clump-origin bulge resembles pseudobulges in dynamical properties, a nearly exponential surface density profile, a barred boxy shape and a significant rotation. We also find that this bulge consists of old and metal-rich stars, displaying resemblance to classical bulges. These natures, old metal-rich population but pseudobulge-like structures, mean that the clump-origin bulge can not be simply classified into classical bulges nor pseudobulges. From these results, we discuss similarities of the clump-origin bulge to the Milky Way bulge.

description: Resilience is the capacity to experience positive outcomes by adapting to adversity. Resilience arises from interactions between risk and protective factors. Various risk and protective factors can promote mental health or contribute to the development of mental illness. Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often experience adversity and risk due to the core symptoms of each disorder. Further, these individuals are also more likely to experience mental illness compared to other individuals. The present study examines various resilience factors and their relation to mental health/illness in youth with ASD or ADHD in contrast to a non-clinical control (NCC) sample. Results indicate equivalence of resilience factors across the three samples; however, the relations between resilience and mental health differed across samples. Specifically, youth with ASD or ADHD had fewer significant relations between resilience factors and mental health compared to the NCC sample. Implications of this finding are discussed.
Temperature dependence in interatomic potentials and an improved potential for Ti

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: The process of deriving an interatomic potentials represents an attempt to integrate out the electronic degrees of freedom from the full quantum description of a condensed matter system. In practice it is the derivatives of the interatomic potentials which are used in molecular dynamics, as a model for the forces on a system. These forces should be the derivative of the free energy of the electronic system, which includes contributions from the entropy of the electronic states. This free energy is weakly temperature dependent, and although this can be safely neglected in many cases there are some systems where the electronic entropy plays a significant role. Here a method is proposed to incorporate electronic entropy in the Sommerfeld approximation into empirical potentials. The method is applied as a correction to an existing potential for titanium. Thermal properties of the new model are calculated, and a simple method for fixing the melting point and solid-solid phase transition temperature for existing models fitted to zero temperature data is presented.

description: Times of arrival of high energy neutrinos encode information about their sources. We demonstrate that the energy-dependence of the onset time of neutrino emission in advancing relativistic jets can be used to extract important information about the supernova/gamma-ray burst progenitor structure. We examine this energy and time dependence for different supernova and gamma-ray burst progenitors, including red and blue supergiants, helium cores, Wolf-Rayet stars, and chemically homogeneous stars, with a variety of masses and metallicities. For choked jets, we calculate the cutoff of observable neutrino energies depending on the radius at which the jet is stalled. Further, we exhibit how such energy and time dependence may be used to identify and differentiate between progenitors, with as few as one or two observed events, under favorable conditions.

description: The primary purpose of this research study was to explore the experiences and understandings of academic librarians who transitioned from professional to academic roles at a Canadian college that became a university. Secondary research questions explored factors that hindered or assisted the librarians’ transition processes and the implications of such a transition. The theoretical framework for this study was adult transition theory. The research design was grounded in a case study approach. Epistemologically, a social constructivist perspective was taken. Sources of data included participant interviews, informant interviews, internal library documents, institutional documents, and external documents. Four main themes emerged from this study: readiness for transition, identity formation, communities of practice, and role strain. Key findings from this study were: (a) the institutional codification of shared academic governance required a parallel shift towards a shared leadership model in the library; (b) the librarian participants struggled to resolve perceived tensions between their professional librarian identities and their emerging academic identities; and (c) through a shared narrative, the librarian participants experienced a group transition process. Recommendations for postsecondary administrators, library administrators, and academic librarians are presented to support the transition of librarians from professional roles to academic roles.

•
Die Zahl der sozialversicherungspflichtig Beschäftigten in Deutschland ist von 1999 bis 2006 von ca. 29 Millionen auf ca. 26 Millionen Personen gesunken, die der 50- bis 64-jährigen Beschäftigten jedoch von 5,2 Millionen auf 5,9 Millionen gestiegen. Entsprechend hat der Anteil der älteren Beschäftigten an allen Beschäftigten von 17,9 auf 22,7 Prozent zugenommen.
•
Besonders stark war die Zunahme der Beschäftigung von 50- bis 54-Jährigen. Hier spielen demographische Gründe eine wichtige Rolle, denn die geburtenstarken Jahrgänge des Nachkriegs-Babybooms wachsen zunehmend in die betrachteten Altersgruppen hinein.
•
Deutlich zugenommen hat auch die Beschäftigung von 60- bis 64-Jährigen, weil ein wachsender Teil der Beschäftigten – insbesondere Männer – den Erwerbsaustritt auf-schiebt. Dennoch bleibt der Beschäftigtenanteil der über 60-Jährigen niedrig, da die Steigerung von einem sehr geringen Niveau ausgeht.
•
Die Beschäftigtenanteile Älterer sind in allen Branchen gestiegen, wobei sich Unterschiede zwischen Branchen kaum verringert haben. Im öffentlichen Dienst (öffentliche Verwaltung, Erziehung und Unterricht, Interessenvertretung und Kultur) werden überdurchschnittlich viele Ältere beschäftigt, in der Bauwirtschaft und im Gastgewerbe hin-gegen wenig.
•
Die Anzahl der älteren Mitarbeiter/innen ist besonders in mittelgroßen Betrieben (50 bis 499 Beschäftigte) gestiegen, in Großbetrieben ab 500 Beschäftigten stagniert sie. In diesen beiden Größenklassen ist der Anteil der älteren Beschäftigten an allen Beschäftigten größer als in Kleinbetrieben, doch auch in Kleinbetrieben ist die Anzahl und mehr noch der Anteil älterer Beschäftigter gewachsen.

These simulations include efficient, but energetically feasible supernova feedback, but have not been tuned in any way to produce 'realistic' disc galaxies. Yet, they generate a large number of discs, without requiring extremely high resolution. Over the wide galaxy stellar mass range, 9.0 < log10[Mstar (Msun)] < 10.5, the simulations reproduce the observed Tully-Fisher relation, the rotation curves of disc galaxies in bins of stellar mass, the mass-size relation of disc galaxies, the optical rotation to virial circular velocity ratio (Vopt/Vvir), and the SF efficiencies of disc galaxies as inferred from stacked weak lensing and stacked satellite kinematics observations. They also reproduce the specific star formation rates of ~L* galaxies but predict too low levels of star formation for low-mass galaxies, which is plausibly due to the finite resolution of the simulations. At higher stellar masses, log10[Mstar (\Msun)] > 10.6, the simulated galaxies are too concentrated and have too high SF efficiencies. We conjecture that this shortcoming reflects the neglect of feedback from accreting supermassive black holes in these simulations. We conclude that it is possible to generate a representative population of disc galaxies that reproduces many of the observed trends of local disc galaxies using standard numerical hydrodynamic techniques and a plausible implementation of the "subgrid" astrophysical processes thought to be relevant to galaxy formation.

description: The American system is plagued with "transactional voters" versus "real American voters." Transactional voters get involved in campaigns and elections with their millions of dollars because they want something in return. American democracy for them is a quid-pro-quo. They want something for their money. American democracy is their financial investment. Billionaire casino man Sheldon Adelson single handedly donated US $11 million to Newt Gingrich's campaign 2012 GOP Presidential Primary campaign; and announced he would be willing to donate up to US $100 million. The big question is: what is he is looking for in return?

description: The Cauchy problem of a multi-dimensional ($d\geqslant 2$) compressible viscous liquid-gas two-phase flow model is concerned in this paper. We investigate the global existence and uniqueness of the strong solution for the initial data close to a stable equilibrium and the local in time existence and uniqueness of the solution with general initial data in the framework of Besov spaces. A continuation criterion is also obtained for the local solution.

Reconstituting the role of law in development-induced displacement and resettlement : lessons from Uganda's Bujagali hydroelectric project

description: Imagine that one morning you wake up and learn that the place you have called home for generations is no longer going to be home. Your house will be demolished and in its place, government or a private developer will construct a dam or put up a residential complex. You have no right to say no because government has eminent domain over your land (or a legal right to compulsorily acquire it in the public interest). Now imagine that the development will also result in the acquisition of the land on which you grow crops for subsistence and trade. It will close off access to the river where you fetch water for daily household use and catch fish for home consumption and for trade. In other words, this is the land where you live and where you obtain your means of living. Lastly, imagine that the project area also contains your social, cultural and spiritual being. It is where over time, you have built social capital consisting of relatives and friends: a community network that you can count on for daily survival. It is where your ancestors are buried, the religious and spiritual institutions you subscribe to are located and your cultural ties entrenched. This is no fiction. And it is not abstract. It is the everyday reality of the millions of people displaced by mega projects such as dams that are built in the name of development. There is a rich body of literature that explores the issue of development-induced displacement and its impact on communities. This thesis builds on that conversation by situating its analysis in law. Throughout the thesis, I trace the silences of law on the one hand and its aggressiveness on the other hand to determine the ways in which formal legal tools have enabled or disabled Project Affected Communities to secure their interests. I also explore how understanding dam projects from an investment perspective can further the understanding of the challenges faced by these communities when striving for inclusive laws and policies. Uganda’s Bujagali Hydroelectric Project is used as the case study for the analysis.
