description: Finding the dominant direction of flow of information in densely interconnected regulatory or signaling networks is required in many applications in computational biology and neuroscience. This is achieved by first identifying and removing links which close up feedback loops in the original network and hierarchically arranging nodes in the remaining network. In mathematical language this corresponds to a problem of making a graph acyclic by removing as few links as possible and thus altering the original graph in the least possible way. Practically in all applications the exact solution of this problem requires an enumeration of all combinations of removed links, which is computationally intractable. We introduce and compare two algorithms: the deterministic, 'greedy' algorithm that preferentially cuts the links that participate in the largest number of feedback cycles, and the probabilistic one based on a simulated annealing of a hierarchical layout of the network which minimizes the number of ``backward'' links going from lower to higher hierarchical levels. We find that the annealing algorithm outperforms the deterministic one in terms of speed, memory requirement, and the actual number of removed links. Implications for system biology and directions for further research are discussed.

description: Σκοπός της μεταπτυχιακής διατριβής είναι η ανάδειξη του στοχαστή και πολιτικού συγγραφέα Τόμας Πέην ως πολιτικού φιλοσόφου, μέσα από τη σύνθεση μιας ολοκληρωμένης θεωρίας της πολιτικής εξουσίας, η οποία βασίζεται στις θέσεις που έχει κοινοποιήσει ο ίδιος στο πλούσιο συγγραφικό του έργο. Στο εισαγωγικό κεφάλαιο της εργασίας, παρουσιάζω εν συντομία τον πολυτάραχο βίο του στοχαστή διαφωτίζοντας παράλληλα το ιστορικό πλαίσιο του όψιμου 18ου αιώνα. Στη συνέχεια απεικονίζω σφαιρικά την άποψη του για τις σχέσεις που διέπουν την κοινωνία και την κυβερνητική εξουσία. Στο κεφάλαιο που ακολουθεί, παρουσιάζω και αναλύω τα επιχειρήματα που χρησιμοποιεί ο Πέην εναντίον του μοναρχικού και αριστοκρατικού συστήματος διακυβέρνησης, προσπαθώντας επίσης να αναδείξω τη γλαφυρότητα και τον κυνισμό του ύφους του. Τέλος, παρουσιάζεται η ανατομία της δημοκρατίας, του θεσμού της αντιπροσώπευσης και της λαϊκής κυριαρχίας, την οποία ο φιλόσοφος εξυψώνει ως το ιδανικότερο και ηθικότερο κυβερνητικό μοντέλο.
description: The aim of the present thesis is the nomination of the thinker and political writer, Thomas Paine, as a political philosopher, through the composition of a theory concerning the political power. This philosophical theory is based on his political aspects which have been notified through his published writings. In the introduction chapter I present briefly Paine’s tumultuous life, illustrating at the same time the historical context of the late 18th century. Subsequently, I depict generally his views about the interaction between society and government. In the following chapter, I introduce and analyze his arguments against the monarchical and aristocratic model, trying also to emphasize on his consummate and cynical style. In conclusion, I present his anatomy of democracy, the ordinance of representation and the popular sovereignty, which is considered to be the ideal and most ethical governmental model.

description: Neutrino transport in spherically symmetric models of stellar core collapse and bounce has achieved a technically complete level, rewarded by the agreement among independent groups that a multi-dimensional treatment of the fluid-instabilities in the post-bounce phase is indispensable to model supernova explosions. While much effort is required to develop a reliable neutrino transport technique in axisymmetry, we explore neutrino physics approximations and parameterizations for an efficient three-dimensional simulation of the fluid-instabilities in the shock-heated matter that accumulates between the accretion shock and the protoneutron star. We demonstrate the reliability of a simple parameterization scheme in the collapse phase and extend our 3D magneto-hydrodynamical collapse simulations to a preliminary postbounce evolution. The growth of magnetic fields is investigated.

Charting the voyage of "The Bravest Boat": an examination of Malcolm’s Lowry’s manuscript
Creators: name: Denholm, Julia Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis is comprised of three sections: a genetic study of “The Bravest Boat;” an examination of four methods of “Lowryan revision;” and my own critical discussion of how my chronicle of the gestation and development of “The Bravest Boat” affects (effects?) a reading of the story, whether that reading be the first or the fiftieth. Section One employs the methods of “genetic study” as defined by Victor Doyen and Suzanne Kim. I have attempted to locate all extant fragments of “The Bravest Boat” and, by comparing them with each other and with the published version, reconstruct the evolution of “The Bravest Boat” from its inception to its final, published version. Section Two focuses on four typical Lowryan revisions. I incorporate most of the thirty-nine manuscript fragments I have recovered into my discussion of these four techniques; simultaneously, I explore various thematic and compositional issues raised by each sample fragment. The final section of this thesis presents my examination of the effect that my work has had on a reading of the story in its published version. I discuss the development of the text through its two early draft versions and subsequent revisions, ultimately presenting my conclusions as to how “well” the story stands up to a prolonged close reading.

description: We investigate the network model of community by Watts, Dodds and Newman (D. J. Watts et al., Science 296 (2002) 1302) as a hierarchy of groups, each of 5 individuals. A homophily parameter $α$ controls the probability proportional to $\exp(-αx)$ of selection of neighbours against distance $x$. The network nodes are endowed with spin-like variables $s_i = \pm 1$, with Ising interaction $J>0$. The Glauber dynamics is used to investigate the order-disorder transition. The transition temperature $T_c$ is close to 3.8 for $α< 0.0$ and it falls down to zero above this value. The result provides a mathematical illustration of the social ability to a collective action {\it via} weak ties, as discussed by Granovetter in 1973.

description: Electromagnetic signals in circuits consist of discrete photons, though conventional voltage sources can only generate classical fields with a coherent superposition of many different photon numbers. While these classical signals can control and measure bits in a quantum computer (qubits), single photons can carry quantum information, enabling non-local quantum interactions, an important resource for scalable quantum computing. Here, we demonstrate an on-chip single photon source in a circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) architecture, with a microwave transmission line cavity that collects the spontaneous emission of a single superconducting qubit with high efficiency. The photon source is triggered by a qubit rotation, as a photon is generated only when the qubit is excited. Tomography of both qubit and fluorescence photon shows that arbitrary qubit states can be mapped onto the photon state, demonstrating an ability to convert a stationary qubit into a flying qubit. Both the average power and voltage of the photon source are characterized to verify performance of the system. This single photon source is an important addition to a rapidly growing toolbox for quantum optics on a chip.

description: Asteroseismology is an exceptional tool for measuring fundamental stellar properties. The CoRoT, Kepler and TESS missions have observed thousands of stars that oscillate in a similar way as our Sun. This allows us to place tight constraints on their mass, radius and even age, which are important for understanding stellar structure and evolution, exoplanets and stellar populations in our galaxy. The enormous amount of observations that are and will become available, must be made accessible to the community in an easy and straightforward way. We are developing the PBjam platform for this purpose. PBjam is an open-source Python package for measuring oscillation frequencies of stars, and aims to be fast, easy and automated, allowing users in the wider community to exploit asteroseismic constraints in their studies.

Feminism in purgatory: the ontological subject caught between modernity and postmodernity
Creators: name: Dalgliesh, Bregham
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: By assuming there to be a philosophical relationship between one’s ontology and the politico-moral framework one advocates, this thesis places modern political philosophy in the context of meaninglessness to argue that liberal ontologies and communitarian frameworks have historically excluded women from being ontologically self-determining, morally free, and from equal respect. Taking both these philosophies as characteristic of modern patriarchalism, it is claimed they responded to the decline of premodern metaphysical meaning through an elaboration of institutional frameworks dominated by reason and order, and in juxtaposition to women and nature. However, in order to transcend this modern patriarchal framework and its associated masculine ontology, feminism experiences a sense of intellectual purgatory. Desperate to establish, at the least, a gender neutral post-patriarchal framework, feminism cannot risk positing a universally applicable ontology on which to base it for fear of committing the same error of exclusion of modern ontologies. Nonetheless, feminism remains at the same time committed to a postmodern politico-moral framework that disparages metanarratives and universal ontologies. Feminism, therefore, is caught at the ontological level between modernity’s framework which it rejects, and postmodern ontologies which are not sufficient on their own to transform this framework.

description: Controlling the translational motion of cold atoms using optical lattice potentials is of both theoretical and experimental interest. By designing two on-resonance time sequences of kicking optical lattice potentials, a novel connection between two paradigms of nonlinear mapping systems, i.e., the kicked rotor model and the kicked Harper model, is established. In particular, it is shown that Hofstadter's butterfly quasi-energy spectrum in periodically driven quantum systems may soon be realized experimentally, with the effective Planck constant tunable by varying the time delay between two sequences of control fields. Extensions of this study are also discussed. The results are intended to open up a new generation of cold-atom experiments of quantum nonlinear dynamics

Notice that one does not suppose here that the graph G is already known, since it appears as a by-product of the calculations. We analyze several su(3)_k exceptional cases at levels 5 and 9.

The Influence of the HG in the Quasar Main Sequence

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: We present an analysis of the Eigenvector 1 or quasar main sequence (QMS, FWHM(Hb) vs RFeII) dependent on the contribution from the host galaxy. We used the forthcoming SDSS-V DR19 spectra for AGN at z < 0.8 and S/N>20 to have a good-quality spectral decomposition. This work uses a novel tool to catalog the sample into three groups according to the stellar and AGN contribution: AGN-dominated, HG-dominated, and intermediate. We then used Starlight to isolate and subtract the stellar component and the PyQSOfit tool to obtain the QMS parameters. This work helps us to see the behavior of the MS along the AGN power in terms of AGN-HG contribution and redshift.
Reconstructing the history of dark energy using maximum entropy

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present a Bayesian technique based on a maximum entropy method to reconstruct the dark energy equation of state $w(z)$ in a non--parametric way. This MaxEnt technique allows to incorporate relevant prior information while adjusting the degree of smoothing of the reconstruction in response to the structure present in the data. After demonstrating the method on synthetic data, we apply it to current cosmological data, separately analysing type Ia supernovae measurement from the HST/GOODS program and the first year Supernovae Legacy Survey (SNLS), complemented by cosmic microwave background and baryonic acoustic oscillations data. We find that the SNLS data are compatible with $w(z) = -1$ at all redshifts $0 \leq z \lsim 1100$, with errorbars of order 20% for the most constraining choice of priors. The HST/GOODS data exhibit a slight (about $1σ$ significance) preference for $w>-1$ at $z\sim 0.5$ and a drift towards $w>-1$ at larger redshifts, which however is not robust with respect to changes in our prior specifications. We employ both a constant equation of state prior model and a slowly varying $w(z)$ and find that our conclusions are only mildly dependent on this choice at high redshifts. Our method highlights the danger of employing parametric fits for the unknown equation of state, that can potentially miss or underestimate real structure in the data.

description: Dorotheos Kottaras was borned in the island of Hidra from poor parents. He studied the science of theology in Athens and there he met with great personalities of Greek Orthodox Church. The Holy Synodos of Greek Orthodox Church voted him to become first of all Bishop of the Holy Metropolis in the island of Kythira and after Bishop of Larissa. In Larissa made a huge social and spiritual effort and he stood beside the people during the war, and many times he put his life in front of dangerous. He knew very well the law subjects and also became financial minister of Greek Orthodox Church. In 1956 became Archiebishop of Athens, but he died very shortly the July of 1957 in Stochkolm. During the time he was Archiebishop, he organised the official visiting in Yugoslavian Orthodox Church, the fist meeting of all the priests who had the talent of holyspeaking, and stood against the Greek government and the Catholic Church to signed Concordate.

description: The influence of the gravity acceleration on the regularized energy-momentum tensor of the quantized electromagnetic field between two plane parallel conducting plates is derived. We use Fermi coordinates and work to first order in the constant acceleration parameter. A perturbative expansion, to this order, of the Green functions involved and of the energy-momentum tensor is derived by means of the covariant geodesic point splitting procedure. In correspondence to the Green functions satisfying mixed and gauge-invariant boundary conditions, and Ward identities, the energy-momentum tensor is covariantly conserved and satisfies the expected relation between gauge-breaking and ghost parts. A more systematic derivation is therefore obtained of the theoretical prediction according to which the Casimir device in a weak gravitational field will experience a tiny push in the upwards direction.

description: We show how to formulate physical theory taking as a starting point the set of states (geometric approach). We discuss the relation of this formulation to the conventional approach to classical and quantum mechanics and the theory of complex systems. The equations of motion and the formulas for probabilities of physical quantities are analyzed. A heuristic proof of decoherence in our setting is used to justify the formulas for probabilities. We show that any physical theory theory can be obtained from classical theory if we restrict the set of observables. This remark can be used to construct models with any prescribed group of symmetries; one can hope that this construction leads to new interesting models that cannot be build in the conventional framework. The geometric approach can be used to formulate quantum theory in terms of Jordan algebras, generalizing the algebraic approach to quantum theory. The scattering theory can be formulated in geometric approach.

description: A new analysis of the precise experimental astrophysical S-factors for the direct capture $^7Be(p,γ)$ $^8B$ reaction [A.J.Junghans et al.Phys.Rev. C 68 (2003) 065803 and L.T. Baby et al. Phys.Rev. C 67 (2003) 065805] is carried out based on the modified two - body potential approach in which the direct astrophysical S-factor, $ {\rm S_{17}(E)}$, is expressed in terms of the asymptotic normalization constants for $p+^7Be\to ^8B$ and two additional conditions are involved to verify the peripheral character of the reaction under consideration. The Woods-Saxon potential form is used for the bound ($p+^7Be$)- state wave function and for the $p^7Be$- scattering wave function. New estimates are obtained for the $^{\glqq}$indirectly measured\grqq values of the asymptotic normalization constants (the nuclear vertex constants) for the $p+^7Be\to ^8B$ and $S_{17}(E)$ at E$\le$ 115 keV, including $E$=0. These values of $S_{17}(E)$ and asymptotic normalization constants have been used for getting information about the $^{\glqq}$indirectly measured\grqq values of the $s$ wave average scattering length and the $p$ wave effective range parameters for $p^7Be$- scattering.

description: The hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm is used for Bayesian analysis of the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model. The HMC algorithm is one of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms and it updates all parameters at once. We demonstrate that how the HMC reproduces the GARCH parameters correctly. The algorithm is rather general and it can be applied to other models like stochastic volatility models.

description: The fracture strength of ZnO nanowires vertically grown on sapphire substrates was measured in tensile and bending experiments. Nanowires with diameters between 60 and 310 nm and a typical length of 2 um were manipulated with an atomic force microscopy tip mounted on a nanomanipulator inside a scanning electron microscope. The fracture strain of (7.7 +- 0.8)% measured in the bending test was found close to the theoretical limit of 10% and revealed a strength about twice as high as in the tensile test. From the tensile experiments the Young's modulus could be measured to be within 30% of that of bulk ZnO, contrary to the lower values found in literature.

Cost and benefits of improving water quality by composting livestock wastes: a contingent valuation approach
Creators: name: Athwal, Rita Kaur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Water quality tests in the Abbotsford area indicate that approximately 60% of the samples taken from wells in some regions are above the 10 mg/L maximum acceptable concentration of nitrate-nitrogen for drinking water as defined in Health and Welfare Canada's Canadian Drinking Water Quality Guidelines. According to an Environment Canada study, increased nitrate concentrations change the micro-environment in waterways and makes water vulnerable to other types of pollution problems. Livestock wastes have been identified as a major source of ground and surface water pollution. It is both difficult and expensive to clean up such wastes. Scientists have identified composting as a possible solution to the animal waste disposal problem. Composting yields a net loss when only private costs are considered. Linear ordinary least squares, open-ended; linear tobit; and, log-linear logit, closed-ended contingent valuation models are used to calculate the amount individuals are willing to pay to reduce the nitrate-nitrogen concentration in water. These calculations are translated as social benefits of composting, and compared to pollution defense expenditures that residents of Abbotsford are making to avoid the pollution problem. The defense expenditures are analyzed in linear ordinary least squares and linear logit regressions. Results from the contingent valuation model indicated an annual willingness to pay of $81.03 to $139.22 per household and annual defense expenditures of $142.94 per household, which is not sufficient to cover the high losses livestock producers would incur by composting all livestock waste. It would be more worthwhile to clean-up major incidents of pollution and invest in research for better management practices.

description: We investigate the evolution of fossil cavities produced by extinct YSO jets and wide angle outflows. Fossil cavities are ellipsoidal or cylindrical shells of swept-up of ambient (molecular cloud) material moving at low velocities. The cavities form when the momentum in a YSO jet or wide angle outflow decays in time allowing the bowshock or swept-up shell to decelerate to velocities near the turbulent speed in the cloud. It has been suggested in previous studies that cavities provide efficient coupling between the jets/outflows and the cloud and, as such, are the agents by which cloud turbulence is can be re-energized. In this paper we carry forward a series of numerical simulations of jets and outflows whose momentum flux decrease in time. We compare simulations with decaying momentum fluxes to those with constant flux. We show that decaying flux models exhibit deceleration of the outflow head and backfilling via expansion off of the cavity walls. They also have lower density contrast, are longer lived and wider than their continuously driven counterparts. The simulations recover the basic properties of observed fossil cavities. In addition, we provide synthetic observations in terms of P-V diagrams which demonstrate that fossil cavities form both jets and wide angle outflows are characterized by linear "Hubble-law" expansions patterns superimposed on "spur" patterns indicative of the head of a bow shock.

description: Bats are a unique lineage of mammals for their ability to fly and echolocate. The earliest fossils, dating from the Eocene, already display these two characters. However, it is still much debated whether or not the common ancestor of bats possessed echolocation ability, and which aspects of life history would be associated with the evolutionary patterns of this trait. Hypotheses suggest that loss of echolocation may be correlated with daytime habit, as these species would use vision to locate prey; or with diet, as frugivorous species rely on sight and smell to locate fruits. To test these two hypotheses we estimated the ancestral state of echolocation using stochastic character mapping. To test whether the incidence of echolocation is related to circadian activity and diet we used a phylogenetic logistic regression. We used the most complete dated phylogeny available that includes 63% of living bat species and diet and circadian activity data available in the EltonTraits database. Our final dataset included 727 species. The most recent common ancestor of all bats probably had echolocation, but this trait was later lost in Pteropodidae and re-gained in the genus Rousettus of this family. The incidence of echolocation was related to diet (beta = -3.88 + 1.29; P = 0.01), but not to circadian activity (beta = -1.67 + 0.68; P = 0.46). The presence of echolocation seems to be adaptive and has influenced the diversification of bats. The loss of this trait is related to the frugivorous diet, since the energetic costs associated with echolocation are high and would not increase the chances of finding fruits. Conversely, daytime-related visual acuity does not seem to be correlated with the loss of echolocation.

description: Lancelot du Lac est le premier roman arthurien imprimé à la Renais­sance. Dans sa première édition parue en 1488, qui réunit deux imprimeurs (Jean Le Bourgeois à Rouen et Jean Du Pré à Paris), un découpage et un prologue inédits sont ajoutés par le remanieur. Le texte sera réédité six fois par divers imprimeurs-libraires parisiens jusqu’en 1533. L’édition de luxe d’Antoine Vérard (1494), destinée au roi Charles VIII, présente d’importantes modifications effectuées dans un but commercial. Après une longue période d’accalmie qui signe le début du déclin de la vogue des romans de chevalerie médiévaux, Benoît Rigaud publie à Lyon, sous une forme considérablement abrégée, la dernière édition connue du Lancelot au XVIe siècle (1591). Si elle ne présente que peu d’intérêt littéraire, elle apporte cependant des informations concernant les pratiques éditoriales et les goûts du  lecteur de la fin du XVIe siècle. De Paris à Lyon, entre renaissance et déclin, le parcours éditorial d’un incontournable roman arthurien.

Lancelot du Lac is the editio princeps of an Arthurian romance in Renaissance France. The first edition in 1488, which brings together two printers (Jean Le Bourgeois from Rouen and Jean Du Pré from Paris), offers original arrangement and prologue added by the compositor. The text will be published six times by various printers and booksellers in Paris until 1533. The luxurious edition from Antoine Vérard (1494) dedicated to King Charles VIII provides interesting transformations in commercial purposes. After a long time without edition, showing the beginning of chivalry literature’s decline, Benoît Rigaud publish in Lyon, in a greatly abbreviated form, the last known edition of Lancelot in the XVIth century (1591). If it presents no literary interest, it provides nevertheless informations about editorial practices and reader’s tastes from the end of Renaissance France. From Paris to Lyon, between renaissance and decline, the editorial evolution of a primary Arthurian romance.
