title: Propositional unity and representation : theories of judgement from Kant to Wittgenstein
Creators: name: Dankova, Zuzana
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: The aim of the thesis is to provide a fresh look at the beginning of the British analytic tradition, represented by early G. E. Moore and B. Russell and later by a young L. Wittgenstein, and emphasize especially the way in which this tradition was influenced by Kant’s transcendental-idealistic epistemology in general, and the notion of judgment in particular. In doing so, I open my account by focusing on how Moore’s ground-breaking notion of a “proposition” as a mentally-independent entity emerged out of his critical reflections on Kant’s account of judgment as a mental activity of bringing representations under the unity of transcendental apperception. Subsequently, I present Russell as adopting this notion of a proposition, providing a thoroughgoing analysis of it and, after discovering its philosophical shortcomings, finally abandoning it in favour of his multiple relation theory of judgment. Based on the detailed description of the nature and changes within Russell’s multiple relation theory, I then attempt to disentangle Wittgenstein’s famous, oft discussed argument against it and introduce the notion of a “proposition” from the Tractatus as Wittgenstein’s attempt at the more appropriate theory of judgment. Eventually, I illuminate how the approaches to judgement and proposition under consideration may all be considered particular responses to Kant’s transcendental-idealistic epistemology, something I do by paying attention in particular to the notions of unity of single propositions and judgments as opposed to the overall unity within the body of all propositions or judgments.

description: The cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarisation and the 21 cm line fluctuations are powerful probes of cosmological reionisation. We study how the cross-correlation between the CMB polarisation (E-modes) and the 21 cm line fluctuations can be used to gain further understanding of the reionisation history, within the framework of inhomogeneous reionisation. Since the E-mode polarisation reflects the amplitude of the quadrupole component of the CMB temperature fluctuations, the angular power spectrum of the cross-correlation exhibits oscillations at all multipoles. The first peak of the power spectrum appears at the scale corresponding to the quadrupole at the redshift that is probed by the 21 cm line fluctuations. The peak reaches its maximum value in redshift when the average ionisation fraction of the universe is about half. On the other hand, on small scales, there is a damping that depends on the duration of reionisation. Thus, the cross-correlation between the CMB polarisation and the 21 cm line fluctuations has the potential to constrain accurately the epoch and the duration of reionisation.

description: This paper presents an $ab$ $initio$ study of hydrogen dynamics inside nanometer-size voids in $a$-Si within the framework of the density-functional theory for a varying hydrogen load of 10 to 30 H atoms/void at the low and high temperature of 400 K and 700 K, respectively. Using the local density approximation and its generalized-gradient counterpart, the dynamics of hydrogen atoms inside the voids are examined with an emphasis on the diffusion of H atoms/molecules, and the resulting nanostructural changes of the void surfaces. The results from simulations suggest that the microstructure of the hydrogen distribution on the void surfaces and the morphology of the voids are characterized by the presence of a significant number of monohydride Si-H bonds, along with a few dihydride Si-H$_2$ configurations. The study also reveals that a considerable number of (about 10--45 at.%) total H atoms inside voids can appear as H$_2$ molecules for a hydrogen load of 10--30 H atoms/void. The approximate shape of the voids is addressed from a knowledge of the positions of the void-surface atoms using the convex-hull approximation and the Gaussian broadening of the pseudo-atomic surfaces of Si and H atoms.

description: Recently there has been a renewed interest in the spectra and role in dynamical properties of excited states of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain in longitudinal magnetic fields associated with Bethe strings. The latter are bound states of elementary magnetic excitations described by Bethe-ansatz complex non-real rapidities. Previous studies on this problem referred to finite-size systems. Here we consider the thermodynamic limit and study it for the isotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXX chain in a longitudinal magnetic field. We confirm that also in that limit the most significant spectral weight contribution from Bethe strings leads to gapped continua in the spectra of the spin +- and xx dynamical structure factors. The contribution of Bethe strings to the zz dynamical structure factor is found to be small at low spin densities and to become negligible upon increasing that density above 0.317. For the -+ dynamical structure factor, that contribution is found to be negligible at finite magnetic field. We derive analytical expressions for the line shapes of the +-, xx, and zz dynamical structure factors valid in the vicinity of singularities located at and just above the gapped lower thresholds of the Bethe-string states's spectra. As a side result and in order to provide an overall physical picture that includes the relative location of all spectra with a significant amount of spectral weight, we revisit the general problem of the line-shape of the transverse and longitudinal spin dynamical structure factors at finite magnetic field and excitation energies in the vicinity of other singularities. This includes those located at and just above the lower thresholds of the spectra that stem from excited states described by only real Bethe-ansatz rapidities.

description: Regular pattern formation is ubiquitous in nature; it occurs in biological, physical, and materials science systems. Here we propose a set of experiments with ultracold atoms that show how to examine different types of pattern formation. In particular, we show how one can see the analog of labyrinthine patterns (so-called quantum emulsions) in mixtures of light and heavy atoms (that tend to phase separate) by tuning the trap potential and we show how complex geometrically ordered patterns emerge (when the mixtures do not phase separate), which could be employed for low-temperature thermometry. The complex physical mechanisms for the pattern formation at zero temperature are understood within a theoretical analysis called the local density approximation.

description: The goal of this paper is to obtain online abstractions for coupled multi-agent systems in a decentralized manner. A discrete model which captures the motion capabilities of each agent is derived over a bounded time-horizon, by discretizing a corresponding overapproximation of the agent's reachable states. The individual abstractions' composition provides a correct representation of the coupled continuous system over the horizon and renders the approach appropriate for control synthesis under high-level specifications which are assigned to the agents over this time window. Sufficient conditions are also provided for the space and time discretization to guarantee the derivation of deterministic abstractions with tunable transition capabilities.

description: This study concentrated on the impact of large trucks on interstate highway safety. The objectives of this study were to investigate the impact of trucks on interstate travel and offer recommendations for improving safety. The procedure involved reviewing the literature, analyzing crash data, discussing the existing situation with the trucking industry, and using the information to develop a list of countermeasures to reduce the number and severity of truck crashes on interstates. The countermeasures were grouped into the general areas of: a) the roadway environment, b) the truck, and c) the driver. The crash data were also analyzed to identify spots and sections on the interstates which had the highest number and rate of truck crashes.

description: Next-generation space observatories will conduct the first systematic surveys of terrestrial exoplanet atmospheres and search for evidence of life beyond Earth. While in-depth observations of the nearest habitable worlds may yield enticing results, there are fundamental questions about planetary habitability and evolution which can only be answered through population-level studies of dozens to hundreds of terrestrial planets. To determine the requirements for next-generation observatories to address these questions, we have developed Bioverse. Bioverse combines existing knowledge of exoplanet statistics with a survey simulation and hypothesis testing framework to determine whether proposed space-based direct imaging and transit spectroscopy surveys will be capable of detecting various hypothetical statistical relationships between the properties of terrestrial exoplanets. Following a description of the code, we apply Bioverse to determine whether an ambitious direct imaging or transit survey would be able to determine the extent of the circumstellar habitable zone and study the evolution of Earth-like planets. Given recent evidence that Earth-sized habitable zone planets are likely much rarer than previously believed (Pascucci et al. 2019), we find that space missions with large search volumes will be necessary to study the population of terrestrial and habitable worlds. Moving forward, Bioverse provides a methodology for performing trade studies of future observatory concepts to maximize their ability to address population-level questions, including and beyond the specific examples explored here.

description: Purpose: Understanding how older adults perceive and interpret emotional cues in speech prosody contributes to our knowledge of cognitive aging. This study provides a systematic review with meta-analysis to investigate the extent of the decline in affective prosody recognition (APR) among older adults in terms of overall and emotion-specific performance and explore potential moderators that may cause between-studies heterogeneity.Method: The literature search encompassed five electronic databases, with a specific emphasis on studies comparing the APR performance of older adults with that of younger adults. This comparison was focused on basic emotions. Meta-regression analyses were executed to pinpoint potential moderators related to demographic and methodological characteristics.Results: A total of 19 studies were included in the meta-analysis, involving 560 older adults with a mean age of 69.15 years and 751 younger adults with a mean age of 23.02 years. The findings indicated a substantial negative effect size (g = −1.21). Furthermore, the magnitude of aggregated effect sizes showed a distinct valence-related recognition pattern with positive prosody exhibiting smaller effect sizes. Language background and years of education were found to moderate the overall and emotion-specific (i.e., disgust and surprise) performance effect estimate, and age and gender significantly influenced the effect estimate of happiness.Conclusions: The results confirmed a significant decline in APR ability among older adults compared to younger adults, but this decline was unbalanced across basic emotions. Language background and educational level emerged as significant factors influencing older adults’ APR ability. Moreover, participants with a higher mean age exhibited notably poorer performance in recognizing happy prosody. These findings underscore the need to further investigate the neurobiological mechanisms for APR decline associated with aging.Supplemental Material S1. Influence analyses.Supplemental Material S2.

2002 Safety Belt Usage Survey in Kentucky

Publisher: name: Kentucky Transportation Center, University of Kentucky
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The objective of this study was to establish 2002 safety belt and child safety seat usage rates in Kentucky. The 2002 survey continues to document the results after enactment of a statewide mandatory safety belt law in 1994. Data were collected at 200 randomly selected sites spread across Kentucky. Data from the individual sites were combined into a statewide percentage considering function classification, geographic region, and vehicle miles traveled.  The data show that the usage rate in 2002 (62.0) was almost identical to that for 2001 (61.9). This compared to 60 percent in 2000, 59 percent in 1999, 54 percent in 1998, 1997 and 1995, 55 percent in 1996, and 58 percent in 1994. The current usage is substantially above the 1993 level, prior to enactment of the statewide law, of 42 percent.  The 2002 statewide usage rate for children under the age of four was determined to be 93 percent. This continues the high rate found for this age category and compares to the previous high of 89 percent in 2001.  The statewide law, except for children, involves secondary enforcement. The higher rate for children could partially be related to primary enforcement. To obtain the maximum possible increase in usage, the current law should be modified to allow primary, rather than secondary, enforcement for all vehicle occupants. The potential increase which can result from an emphasis on enforcement was shown by the results of the during the enforcement period of last year’s Click It or Ticket campaign. As a minimum, primary enforcement should apply to drivers while they are in the permit and intermediate phase of the graduated license program.

description: Recent advances in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics shed new light on the ratchet effect. The ratchet motion can thus be understood in terms of symmetry (breaking) considerations. We introduce an additional symmetry operation besides time-reversal, that effectively reverses the nonequilibrium driving. That operation of field-reversal combined with time-reversal decomposes the nonequilibrium action so to clarify under what circumstances the ratchet current is a second order effect around equilibrium, what is the direction of the ratchet current and what are possibly the symmetries in its fluctuations.

In the spirit of the pioneers : historical consciousness, cultural colonialism and Indian/white relations in rural British Columbia
Creators: name: Furniss, Elizabeth Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation is an ethnography of the cultural politics of Indian/white relations in a small, interior British Columbia resource city at the height of land claims conflict and tensions. Drawing on the theoretical approaches of Nicholas Thomas (1994) and Raymond Williams (1977, 1980), I show how the power that reinforces the subordination of aboriginal peoples in Canada is exercised by 'ordinary' rural Euro-Canadians whose cultural attitudes and activities are forces in an ongoing, contemporary system of colonial domination. In approaching these issues through in-depth ethnographic research with both the Native and Euro- Canadian populations and in exploring the dynamics of cultural domination and resistance at the level of a local, rural community, this dissertation stands as a unique contribution to the ethnographic study of colonialism and Native/non- Native relations in Canada. The dominant Euro-Canadian culture of the region is defined by a complex of understandings about history, society and identity that is thematically integrated through the idea of the frontier. At its heart, the frontier complex consists of an historical epistemology - a Canadian version of the American frontier myth (Slotkin 1992) - that celebrates the processes through which European explorers 'discovered' and 'conquered' North America and its aboriginal inhabitants, . Central to this complex is the Indian/white dichotomy, a founding archetype in Euro-Canadians' symbolic ordering of regional social relations and in their private and public constructions of collective identity. Also central is the Euro-Canadians' self-image of benevolent paternalism, an identity that appears repeatedly in discourses of national history and Native/non-Native relations. Facets of the frontier complex are expressed in diverse settings: casual conversations among Euro-Canadians, popular histories, museum displays, political discourse, public debates about aboriginal land claims, and the town's annual summer festival. In each setting, these practices contribute to the perpetuation of relations of inequality between Euro-Canadians and area Shuswap, Tsilhqot'in and Carrier peoples, and in each setting area Natives are engaging in diverse forms of resistance. The plurality of these strategies of resistance, rooted in different cultural identities, biographical experiences and political philosophies, reflects the creativity in which new forms of resistance are forged and tested in public contexts of Native/Euro-Canadian interaction.
Consistency test of general relativity from large scale structure of the Universe

description: We construct a consistency test of General Relativity (GR) on cosmological scales. This test enables us to distinguish between the two alternatives to explain the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe, that is, dark energy models based on GR and modified gravity models without dark energy. We derive the consistency relation in GR which is written only in terms of observables - the Hubble parameter, the density perturbations, the peculiar velocities and the lensing potential. The breakdown of this consistency relation implies that the Newton constant which governs large-scale structure is different from that in the background cosmology, which is a typical feature in modified gravity models. We propose a method to perform this test by reconstructing the weak lensing spectrum from measured density perturbations and peculiar velocities. This reconstruction relies on Poisson's equation in GR to convert the density perturbations to the lensing potential. Hence any inconsistency between the reconstructed lensing spectrum and the measured lensing spectrum indicates the failure of GR on cosmological scales. The difficulties in performing this test using actual observations are discussed.

description: Alcohol and drug related crashes continue to be one of the highest priority problem identification areas and considerable emphasis is being placed on programs to impact those types of crashes. Various types of campaigns have been used over the years in an attempt to reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes. Kentucky was selected within the Southeast Region of the United States by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to conduct a comprehensive impaired driving campaign entitled “You Drink & Drive. You Lose”. The campaign was conducted around the 2002 Labor Day holiday. The objective of this report was to document the results of the “You Drink & Drive. You Lose” campaign in Kentucky.  The evaluation of the campaign included documenting the activities associated with the program (publicity and enforcement) and evaluating the results. The evaluation included comparing crash data during the campaign with data for the same time period in previous years, summarizing the number of arrests and other enforcement activities, telephone surveys of drivers taken before and after the campaign, written motorist questionnaires obtained at driver licensing locations and high schools before and after the campaign, and summarizing the types of publicity.  Two types of comparisons were made between crash data around Labor Day in 2002 with the previous three years. The first set of data used single vehicle crashes occurring between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. This type of crash has been used as a surrogate for alcohol crashes. The number of crashes in 2002 was 14 percent lower than the average of the three previous years with the number of injuries and fatalities occurring in these crashes 21 percent lower. The second comparison was the number of crashes in which either alcohol or drugs were listed as a contributing factor or it was noted that a driver was suspected of drinking. The number of these crashes in 2002 was 9 percent lower than the average of the three previous years with the number of injuries and fatalities in these crashes 5 percent lower.  The publicity did result in an increase in the percentage of drivers who were aware of this program and resulted in a significant increase in drivers who had heard of specific details of the campaign. The surveys did not find a change in self-reported behavior or perceived additional risk of arrest for driving after drinking. The survey at the circuit clerk offices and high schools also found that drivers were more aware of the use of checkpoints for identifying impaired drivers. The surveys support increased enforcement and additional penalties for the use of alcohol while driving. The most common source of information about the campaign was through television.

description: The Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) at the University of Kentucky has performed a series of research studies for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) to monitor various experimental bridge painting projects and conduct investigative work focusing on new paint systems. The research study addressed in this report “Maintenance Painting of Various Bridge Projects During 2001-2002” Kentucky Highways Investigative Task No: 42 were intended to address experimental projects in fiscal years 2001 and 2002.  KTC and KYTC Project Design Team’s joint efforts in 2000 into early 2001 centered on the preparation of experimental bridge maintenance painting special notes, preliminary field testing/development of new experimental paint systems and testing of proprietary and KYTC standard specification coatings. The laboratory tests identified candidate coatings systems that were subsequently used in the KYTC experimental bridge maintenance painting projects conducted under this study. Developmental work focused on total removal and some overcoating systems.  The objectives of experimental project monitoring were to: assess the condition of existing paint systems on bridges prior to maintenance painting, monitor the project throughout completion, note problems, describe problem resolution, appraise the condition of the final product, and report observations and/or conclusions about the project.  This report will begin with a summary of the coatings testing work undertaken by KTC researchers and the KYTC Project Design Team. The experimental bridge maintenance painting monitoring work is presented for each bridge in the appendices. The overall results/findings of this research study are contained in the “Conclusions” section of this report.
Single-electron emission from degenerate quantum levels

description: Single-electron sources on-demand are requisite for a promising fully electronic platform for solid-state quantum information processing. Most of the experimentally realized sources use the fact that only one electron can be taken from a singly occupied quantum level. Here I take the next step and discuss emission from orbitally degenerate quantum levels that arise, for example, in quantum dots with a nontrivial ring topology. I show that degeneracy provides additional flexibility for single- and two-electron emission. Indeed, the small Aharonov-Bohm flux, which slightly lifts the degeneracy, is a powerful tool for changing the relative width of the emitted wave packets over a wide range. In a ring with one lead, even electrons emitted from completely degenerate levels can be separated in time if the driving potential changes at the appropriate rate. In a ring with two leads, electrons can be emitted to different leads if one of the leads has a bound state with Fermi energy at its end.

description: Slow roll reconstruction is derived from the Hamilton-Jacobi formulation of inflationary dynamics. It automatically includes information from sub-leading terms in slow roll, and facilitatesthe inclusion of priors based on the duration on inflation. We show that at low inflationary scales the Hamilton-Jacobi equations simplify considerably. We provide a new classification scheme for inflationary models, based solely on the number of parameters needed to specify the potential, and provide forecasts for likely bounds on the slow roll parameters from future datasets. A minimal running of the spectral index, induced solely by the first two slow roll parameters (εand η) appears to be effectively undetectable by realistic Cosmic Microwave Background experiments. However, we show that the ability to detect this signal increases with the lever arm in comoving wavenumber, and we conjecture that high redshift 21 cm data may allow tests of second order consistency conditions on inflation. Finally, we point out that the second order corrections to the spectral index are correlated with the inflationary scale, and thus the amplitude of the CMB B-mode.

description: According to Fortunato and Barthelemy, modularity-based community detection algorithms have a resolution threshold such that small communities in a large network are invisible. Here we generalize their work and show that the q-state Potts community detection method introduced by Reichardt and Bornholdt also has a resolution threshold. The model contains a parameter by which this threshold can be tuned, but no a priori principle is known to select the proper value. Single global optimization criteria do not seem capable for detecting all communities if their size distribution is broad.

description: Available proper motion measurements of Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxies are used to calculate their orbital poles and projected uncertainties. These are compared to a set of recent cold dark-matter (CDM) simulations, tailored specifically to solve the MW satellite problem. We show that the CDM satellite orbital poles are fully consistent with being drawn from a random distribution, while the MW satellite orbital poles indicate that the disc-of-satellites of the Milky Way is rotationally supported. Furthermore, the bootstrapping analysis of the spatial distribution of theoretical CDM satellites also shows that they are consistent with being randomly drawn. The theoretical CDM satellite population thus shows a significantly different orbital and spatial distribution than the MW satellites, most probably indicating that the majority of the latter are of tidal origin rather than being DM dominated sub-structures. A statistic is presented that can be used to test a possible correlation of satellite galaxy orbits with their spatial distribution.

The role of coping, mood states, and coping efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis pain : a multi-level analysis
Creators: name: Newth, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The current study addresses recent calls in the literature to examine both within- and between-person variability in the unfolding of the coping process over time. Twice daily for one week, 74 respondents coping with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) pain reported on their pain severity, mood, coping efforts and coping efficacy. As hypothesized, coping efforts, mood, and perceptions of coping efficacy were associated with both between- and within-person differences in daily pain fluctuations. More importantly, greater use of cognitive reframing and lower use of planful problem-solving were associated with reductions in RA pain within days, over and above individual differences in general coping style. The implications of these findings for daily coping and pain outcomes among persons with RA are reviewed. Results provide support for the inclusion of specific cognitive-behavioral interventions for individuals coping with RA.

description: Emerging chips with hundreds and thousands of cores require networks with unprecedented energy/area efficiency and scalability. To address this, we propose Slim NoC (SN): a new on-chip network design that delivers significant improvements in efficiency and scalability compared to the state-of-the-art. The key idea is to use two concepts from graph and number theory, degree-diameter graphs combined with non-prime finite fields, to enable the smallest number of ports for a given core count. SN is inspired by state-of-the-art off-chip topologies; it identifies and distills their advantages for NoC settings while solving several key issues that lead to significant overheads on-chip. SN provides NoC-specific layouts, which further enhance area/energy efficiency. We show how to augment SN with state-of-the-art router microarchitecture schemes such as Elastic Links, to make the network even more scalable and efficient. Our extensive experimental evaluations show that SN outperforms both traditional low-radix topologies (e.g., meshes and tori) and modern high-radix networks (e.g., various Flattened Butterflies) in area, latency, throughput, and static/dynamic power consumption for both synthetic and real workloads. SN provides a promising direction in scalable and energy-efficient NoC topologies.
Exploring non-perturbative Sudakov factor via $Z^0$-boson production in $pp$ collisions

description: $Z^0$-boson production at low transverse momentum offers an unique opportunity to explore the non-perturbative Sudakov factor. In this paper, we employ three parameterizations of the non-perturbative Sudakov factor to calculate the $ϕ^*$-distribution and compare our results with the ultra precise experimental data. We extract the free parameters in each parameterization with a $χ^2$ analysis. The parton-momentum-fraction dependence of these free parameters is also studied by comparing the values extracted at different collision energies and different rapidity ranges.

description: Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is essential in understanding the properties of 5d transition metal compounds, whose SOC value is large and almost comparable to other key parameters. Over the past few years, there have been numerous studies on the SOC-driven effects of the electronic bands, magnetism, and spin-orbit entanglement for those materials with a large SOC. However, it is less studied and remains an unsolved problem in how the SOC affects the lattice dynamics. We, therefore, measured the phonon spectra of 5d pyrochlore Cd2Os2O7 over the full Brillouin zone to address the question by using inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS). Our main finding is a visible mode-dependence in the phonon spectra, measured across the metal-insulator transition at 227 K. We examined the SOC strength dependence of the lattice dynamics and its spin-phonon (SP) coupling, with first-principle calculations. Our experimental data taken at 100 K are in good agreement with the theoretical results obtained with the optimized U = 2.0 eV with SOC. By scaling the SOC strength and the U value in the DFT calculations, we demonstrate that SOC is more relevant than U to explaining the observed mode-dependent phonon energy shifts with temperature. Furthermore, the temperature dependence of the phonon energy can be effectively described by scaling SOC. Our work provides clear evidence of SOC producing a non-negligible and essential effect on the lattice dynamics of Cd2Os2O7 and its SP coupling.

description: We examine the influence of quenched disorder on the superconductor-metal transition, as described by a theory of overdamped Cooper pairs which repel each other. The self-consistent pairing eigenmodes of a quasi-one dimensional wire are determined numerically. Our results support the recent proposal by Hoyos et al. (arXiv:0705.1865) that the transition is characterized by the same strong disorder fixed point describing the onset of ferromagnetism in the random quantum Ising chain in a transverse field.
