Lie Symmetries of Einstein's Vacuum Equations in N Dimensions
Creators: name: Marchildon, Louis
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate Lie symmetries of Einstein's vacuum equations in N dimensions, with a cosmological term. For this purpose, we first write down the second prolongation of the symmetry generating vector fields, and compute its action on Einstein's equations. Instead of setting to zero the coefficients of all independent partial derivatives (which involves a very complicated substitution of Einstein's equations), we set to zero the coefficients of derivatives that do not appear in Einstein's equations. This considerably constrains the coefficients of symmetry generating vector fields. Using the Lie algebra property of generators of symmetries and the fact that general coordinate transformations are symmetries of Einstein's equations, we are then able to obtain all the Lie symmetries. The method we have used can likely be applied to other types of equations.

description: Quantum cosmology is investigated in a de Sitter minisuperspace model with a quantized scalar field non-minimally coupled to curvature. Quantum states of the scalar field must satisfy the regularity condition, which requires that the probability of field fluctuations should not increase with their amplitude. We show that this condition imposes constraints on the allowed values of the curvature coupling parameter $ξ$. This is a surprising result, since the field dynamics depends only on the combination $m^2+ξR$, where $m$ is the field mass and $R = \mathrm{const}$ is the curvature, and does not depend on $ξ$ separately.

description: One of the most important crop pathogens is Botrytis cinerea. It overcomes plant defenses using laccase, an enzyme which is frequently researched. Yet the differences between strains regarding their laccase activity is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to analyze laccase genes in the context of the regionality, vintage, and laccase activity of the strains. Eight strains were analyzed using whole genome sequencing, and the laccase activity was assessed. The strains were differentiated by SSR-PCR. We looked at all 14 known laccase genome regions as well as the promoter and terminator regions using variant metrics and phylogenetic trees. The laccase genes seem to be correlated with the regionality of the strains rather than the laccase activity, which provides new understanding to the study of pathogen adaption in specific environments. Some of the laccase gene regions showed little to no evolutionary change, while other regions showed a great variety of changes. This research highlights taking different laccase gene regions into context. We provide fundamental information for further research. Further studies, especially on gene expression, could provide insightful information regarding the potential of pathogen infection.
Playing Prejudice: The Impact of Game-Play on Attributions of Racial and Gender Bias

description: This dissertation explores new possibilities for changing Americans' theories about racism and sexism. Popular American rhetorics of discrimination, and learners' naïve models, are focused on individual agents' role in creating bias. These theories do not encompass the systemic and structural aspects of discrimination in American society. When learners can think systemically as well as agentically about bias, they become more likely to support systemic as well as individual remedies. However, shifting from an agentic to a systemic model of discrimination is both cognitively and emotionally challenging. To tackle this difficult task, this dissertation brings together the literature on prejudice reduction and conceptual change to propose using games as an entertainment-based intervention to change players' attribution styles around sexism and racism, as well as their attitudes about the same issues. "Playable model anomalous data" theory proposes that games can model complex systems of bias, while instantiating learning mechanics that help players confront the limits of their existing models.
      The web-based game Advance was designed using playable model  anomalous data theory, and was used to investigate three questions. First, can a playable model  anomalous data game change players' likelihood of using systemic explanations for bias, and how does it compare to the effectiveness of a control text? Second, how does the game change players' attitudes as compared to a control text? Finally, are there differences between three different versions of the game that offer players different rewards for investigating the bias in the game system?
      Advance did not outperform the control text at changing players' likelihood of using systemic attributions for racism and sexism, nor did it outperform the control text in changing players' attitudes. However, significant differences were found between White and non-White player populations in their sensitivity to the different game conditions. White players were unaffected by differences between versions of the game, while non-White players showed differences in play behaviors, in systemic attribution likelihood, and in attitude. Given that White Americans may have more entrenched ideas about discrimination in America, we consider the impacts of the game on non-White player populations as an indicator of what future development of playable model  anomalous data games may be able to achieve.

A Theorem of Sanderson on Link Bordisms in Dimension 4

description: The groups of link bordism can be identified with homotopy groups via the Pontryagin-Thom construction. B.J. Sanderson computed the bordism group of 3 component surface-links using the Hilton-Milnor Theorem, and later gave a geometric interpretation of the groups in terms of intersections of Seifert hypersurfaces and their framings. In this paper, we geometrically represent every element of the bordism group uniquely by a certain standard form of a surface-link, a generalization of a Hopf link. The standard forms give rise to an inverse of Sanderson's geometrically defined invariant.

description: In this paper we formulate and study the existence and uniqueness of the solution for a class of stochastic mixed variational inequalities arising in problems of infinitesimal elastoplasticity described by uncertain parameters. As a particular example we consider the quasi-static von Mises elastoplastic rate-independent evolution problem with linear elastic behaviour and hardening. For such a problem under the neccessary assumptions we show the equivalency between the variational inequality and a quadratic minimization problem described by a strictly convex, continuous, G^{a}teaux differentiable, and coercive functional on a Hilbert space. In order to find the unique minimiser we propose the stochastic closest point projection method, obtained by extension of the well known classical return alogorithms to the more general stochastic case. The method is, similarly to its deterministic counterpart, described by non-dissipative and dissipative operators.

description: We investigate the noise properties of a GaAs-AlAs-GaAs tunneling structure with embedded self-assembled InAs quantum dots in the single-electron tunneling regime. We analyze the dependence of the relative noise amplitude of the shot noise on bias voltage. We observe a non-monotonic behaviour of the Fano-factor $α$ with an average value of $α\approx 0.8$ consistent with the asymmetry of the tunneling barriers. Reproducible fluctuations observed in $α$ can be attributed to the successive participation of more and more InAs quantum dots in the tunneling current.

description: Figure S1. For the cDNA microarray analysis, cartilage tissues were obtained from 10 OA knees and 9 control knees at the lateral femoral condyles in full thickness above the tidemark, in squares of approximately 10 mm per side. In OA knees, tissues were obtained from areas where no overt sings of cartilage degeneration were observed. Considering that the chondrocyte metabolism differs significantly among cartilage zones, the cartilage tissues were separated into three cartilage zones, and RNA was obtained from each of the zones as previously described (Fukui N, et al. Arthritis Rheum 2008;58:3843-53). Using extracted RNA, the gene expression profiles were determined in respective cartilage zones using the Human Gene Expression Microarray (G4112F; Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA), which carries probes for 19,596 human genes. RNA was used for the analysis after confirming that the A260 nm to A280 nm ration was â ¤ 1.8, and that the 28S to 18S ration was â Ľ 1.4 by an analysis using a Bioanalyzer 2100 with RNA 6000 Nano Chips (Agilent Technologies). All RNA samples were analyzed respectively, yielding 27 sets of microarray data. Using these data, the expression levels of nine cartilage procollagen genes were compared between OA (OA) and control cartilage (Control) in respective cartilage zones, and statistical significance was determined by two-tailed t-test using R (version 3.3.1 for Windows). The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. In each graph, open, shaded and solid bars indicate the expression levels in the superficial, middle and deep cartilage zones, respectively. Bars indicate the mean + SD of the signal intensities of 9 (control) or 10 (OA) cartilage samples determined by the microarray analysis. **, p < 0.01 versus corresponding zone in control cartilage..

description: The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) is a threatened species in Alberta and although we have studied grizzly bear response to forest seral stage change, little is known about the response to coal mine reclamation by bears. We addressed basic ecological questions to describe landscape change effects on grizzly bears, focusing on Luscar and Gregg River reclaimed coal mines in west-central Alberta as case studies. We summarize bear use of mine mineral disturbance limits in relation to season, habitat, diet, and designated human access trails. Eight adult bears were monitored intensively during 2008-2010 using GPS radiocollars that allowed tracking of their movement and distribution on the landscape and facilitated collection of scats for diet analysis. Bears were present on reclaimed mines mostly during summer and fed primarily on vegetative matter. Although habitats were similar on the two mines under study, on Luscar mine bears had higher use of undisturbed forested areas and were closer to forest edge than on Gregg River mine. We attribute these differences primarily to higher presence of humans on Luscar mine, but bears responded differently to motorized and non-motorized trails. While reclaimed mines can provide habitat and forage for grizzly bears during summer, maintaining undisturbed forest patches and access management are necessary to ensure persistence of grizzly bears on reclaimed mining areas.
Multimomentum Maps on Null Hypersurfaces

description: This paper studies the application of multimomentum maps to the constraint analysis of general relativity on null hypersurfaces. It is shown that, unlike the case of spacelike hypersurfaces, some constraints which are second class in the Hamiltonian formalism turn out to contribute to the multimomentum map. To recover the whole set of secondary constraints found in the Hamiltonian formalism, it is necessary to combine the multimomentum map with those particular Euler-Lagrange equations which are not of evolutionary type. The analysis is performed on the outgoing null cone only.

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 6EA58217-4FF6-471D-BD61-01C244A63265
Type species
Crioceris detrita Fabricius, 1801, by present designation.
Diagnosis
All of the named species in this genus were most recently placed in Pyesia Clark, 1865, but they dramatically differ from true members of that genus. Among other things, the aedeagus of Pyesexora gen. nov. is symmetrical in dorsal view, while that of Pyesia is strongly asymmetrical. See the following key for additional diagnostic characters.
Etymology
The name ‘ Pyesexora ’ is a combination of Pyesia and Exora. It should be treated as a female noun.
Remarks
This new genus occurs from Mexico through much of South America, as well as in the Lesser Antilles. It includes P. detrita detrita (Fabricius, 1801) [originally named in Crioceris Geoffroy, 1762], P. detrita laevicollis (Jacoby, 1887) [originally named in Malacosoma Chevrolat, 1837], P. detrita meridionalis (Bechyné, 1958) [originally named in Pyesia], P. elytropleuralis elytropleuralis (Bechyné, 1958) [originally named in Pyesia], and P. elytropleuralis subalutacea (Bechyné, 1958) [originally named in Pyesia], all comb. nov. The genus is in need of taxonomic revision. Our examinations show that there are numerous species, markedly differing from each other in aedeagal shape. Some of the differences we have seen may correspond to the named subspecies, and, if so, these should be elevated to species rank. Other aedeagal differences surely correspond to unnamed species. See Figs 63, 145, 148, 156, 189, and 196 for a habitus illustration and morphological details. See Bechyné (1958) for a key to distinguish some of the putative species and subspecies (cited as Pyesia).

description: Sprache und Kommunikation sind essenziell für die Teilhabe am gesellschaftlichen Leben, insbesondere im Kontext der kommunikativen Partizipation. In der zunehmenden Mehrsprachigkeit der Gesellschaft haben besonders Kinder mit Sprachentwicklungsstörungen (SES) ein höheres Risiko in der kommunikativen Teilhabe eingeschränkt zu sein. Das Förderkonzept SPRINT ist zur Sprachförderung auf pragmatisch-kommunikativer Ebene für mehrsprachige Kinder entwickelt worden, berücksichtigt jedoch bislang nicht explizit Kinder mit SES.Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht, wie SPRINT dazu beitragen kann, die pragmatisch-kommunikativen Fähigkeiten mehrsprachiger Kinder mit SES zu fördern. Mittels einer qualitativen Forschungsmethode werden Interviews mit Lehr- und Fachpersonen durchgeführt, die mit SPRINT vertraut sind. Die erhobenen Daten werden durch eine qualitative Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet und die Erkenntnisse mit Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschieden dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse aus den Befragungen und theoretischen Bezügen legen dar, dass SPRINT durch Anpassungen in Umsetzung und Gestaltung auf die Bedürfnisse von Kindern mit SES eingehen kann. Fachpersonen sollten dazu über vertiefte Kenntnisse zu Pragmatik und Mehrsprachigkeit bei SES verfügen. Besonders hervorgehoben wird die Bedeutung einer gezielten Förderung der pragmatisch-kommunikativen Kompetenzen bei SES, begleitet von ritualisierten Abläufen, visuellen Hilfsmitteln und dem Einsatz von Kommunikationsmitteln. Weitere Aspekte umfassen die Berücksichtigung von Rahmenbedingungen wie Altersbegrenzung, Förderbeginn und Ressourcen der Institutionen. Das Wissen über die Ausrichtung und Funktion einer bewegungsorientierten Sprachförderung und Therapie sind ebenso ein wichtiger Bestandteil. Praktische Hinweise für die Arbeit mit Kindern mit SES können im SPRINT digital ergänzt werden.Die Arbeit zeigt auf, wie differenzierte Förderansätze und eine fundierte Fachkompetenz der Lehr- und Fachpersonen die kommunikative Teilhabe mehrsprachiger Kinder mit SES gezielt verbessern können.

description: The well-known tensions on the cosmological parameters $H_0$ and $σ_8$ within the $Λ$CDM cosmology shown by the Planck-CMB and LSS data are possibly due to the systematics in the data or our ignorance of some new physics beyond the $Λ$CDM model. In this letter, we focus on the second possibility, and investigate a minimal extension of the $Λ$CDM model by allowing a coupling between its dark sector components (dark energy and dark matter). We analyze this scenario with Planck-CMB, KiDS and HST data, and find that the $H_0$ and $σ_8$ tensions disappear at 68\% CL. In the joint analyzes with Planck, HST and KiDS data, we find non-zero coupling in the dark sector up to 99\% CL. Thus, we find a strong statistical support from the observational data for an interaction in the dark sector of the Universe while solving the $H_0$ and $σ_8$ tensions simultaneously.

description: The shifted-i expansion technique (SLET) is extended to solve for Dirac particle trapped in spherically symmetric scalar and/or 4-vector potentials. A parameter λ=0,1 is introduced in such a way that one can obtain the Klein-Gordon (KG) bound states from Dirac bound states. The 4-vector Coulomb, the scalar linear, and the equally mixed scalar and 4-vector power-law potentials are used in KG and Dirac equations. Exact numerical results are obtained for the 4-vector Coulomb potential in both KG and Dirac equations. Highly accurate and fast converging results are obtained for the scalar linear and the equally mixed scalar and 4-vector power-law potentials.

description: Due to an increasing demand on arable land, researchers are now turning to decommissioned mine areas to grow biofuel crops. In the summer of 2010 a growth study was conducted on one of the decommissioned tailings ponds at Highland Valley Copper, a copper-molybdenum mine located in the interior of British Columbia. The objectives of the study were to determine whether three commonly used biodiesel-producing plant species - canola (Brassica napus L.), Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) and crambe (Crambe abyssinica Hochst ex Fries) - could achieve sufficient enough growth on biosolid-amended mine tailings to produce biofuels. After seeding, growth was monitored and the crops harvested at the end of one growing season. All aboveground plant biomass was measured and gross energy content and chemical composition of the plants was determined. Canola and Indian mustard achieved nearly equivalent growth in terms of dry biomass production but canola produced significantly more seed pod mass than Indian mustard. Crambe produced the least amount of biomass and seed pod mass. All yields were below standards for biodiesel production, which indicates seed production on this site is insufficient to sustain biodiesel production. However, further studies with an earlier seeding date are needed, as a late seeding date of mid-June may have placed restraints on the growth of the crop. Energy analysis indicates the gross energy content of both canola and Indian mustard are comparable to currently used cellulosic ethanol feedstocks, whereas crambe was significantly lower.

Debt

description: This dissertation explores formations of the ‘colonial’ in Sudan through the vantage point of transformations in debt and temporality. Situating Sudan in an Ottoman-Egyptian context, it offers an account of how debt and land came to be reorganised so as to be separated from the realm of ethical relations. It does so by exploring legal-juridical changes brought about under Ottoman-Egyptian rule, which gradually altered notions of selfhood and time. In light of this, forms of resistance—especially during the Mahdist uprising—are shown to be a reformulation of disciplinary and ethical regimes and a (re)fashioning of subjects. Concluding with the early decades of British colonial rule, it considers the temporal regimes used to neutralise Mahdist subjectivities, which involved producing a rational, sedentary, and calculative peasantry oriented toward—not an afterlife but—a prosperous future.
Molecular dynamics simulations of vibrated granular gases

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present molecular dynamics simulations of mono- or bidisperse inelastic granular gases driven by vibrating walls, in two dimensions (without gravity). Because of the energy injection at the boundaries, a situation often met experimentally, density and temperature fields display heterogeneous profiles in the direction perpendicular to the walls. A general equation of state for an arbitrary mixture of fluidized inelastic hard spheres is derived and successfully tested against numerical data. Single-particle velocity distribution functions with non-Gaussian features are also obtained, and the influence of various parameters (inelasticity coefficients, density...) analyzed. The validity of a recently proposed Random Restitution Coefficient model is assessed through the study of projected collisions onto the direction perpendicular to that of energy injection. For the binary mixture, the non-equipartition of translational kinetic energy is studied and compared both to experimental data and to the case of homogeneous energy injection (``stochastic thermostat''). The rescaled velocity distribution functions are found to be very similar for both species.

description: Irregularities in the metric tensor of a signature-changing space-time suggest that field equations on such space-times might be regarded as distributional. We review the formalism of tensor distributions on differentiable manifolds, and examine to what extent rigorous meaning can be given to field equations in the presence of signature-change, in particular those involving covariant derivatives. We find that, for both continuous and discontinuous signature-change, covariant differentiation can be defined on a class of tensor distributions wide enough to be physically interesting.

description: Global polarization of $Λ$ and $\barΛ$ hyperons in Au+Au collisions at collision energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 4-40 GeV in the midrapidity region and total polarization, i.e. averaged over all rapidities, are studied within the scope of the thermodynamical approach. The relevant vorticity is simulated within the model of the three-fluid dynamics (3FD). It is found that the performed rough estimate of the global midrapidity polarization quite satisfactorily reproduces the experimental STAR data on the polarization, especially its collision-energy dependence. The total polarization increases with the collision energy rise, which is in contrast to the decrease of the midrapidity polarization. This suggests that at high collision energies the polarization reaches high values in fragmentation regions.

African Americans

description: This dissertation highlights the interconnected relationship of community, family, and school by tracing the lived experiences of African American students and parents to capture how they come to terms with where they are situated in racially diverse settings. The research also shows the intergenerational impact of tracking on African American families who attended the same racially diverse school and lived in a segregated African American neighborhood. Racialized tracking and the segregated African American community have contributed to separate and unequal outcomes, treatment, and performances that demonstrate a racialized duplicity in the United States. Utilizing and building on the theorizing of Pierre Bourdieu's (1977a, 1977b) theorizing about habitus, this study reveals how race, place, and class impact the perceptions of African American students and their parents by mapping out their routes, which include their everyday journey from their homes, school, and community. In addition, Michele Foucault's concept of subjugated knowledge captures how tracking and unequal educational experiences are deeply rooted within a larger struggle for equality for African Americans, which results in an uneven distribution of power/knowledge in the United States. The duplicity that African Americans have to confront in schools and communities is what I refer to as Plessy's tracks. This dissertation thus examines and connects the routes, roots, and academic tracks of African American students and their parents to bring an understanding of how they perceived academic placement and their social positions in a segregated community and a racially diverse school.

description: We introduce a class extending the notion of Chern-Mather class to possibly nonreduced schemes, and use it to express the difference between Schwartz-MacPherson's Chern class and the class of the virtual tangent bundle of a singular hypersurface of a nonsingular variety. Applications include constraints on the possible singularities of a hypersurface and on contacts of nonsingular hypersurfaces, and multiplicity computations.

On the Spectrum of Hecke Type Operators related to some Fractal Groups

description: We give the first example of a connected 4-regular graph whose Laplace operator's spectrum is a Cantor set, as well as several other computations of spectra following a common ``finite approximation'' method. These spectra are simple transforms of the Julia sets associated to some quadratic maps. The graphs involved are Schreier graphs of fractal groups of intermediate growth, and are also ``substitutional graphs''. We also formulate our results in terms of Hecke type operators related to some irreducible quasi-regular representations of fractal groups and in terms of the Markovian operator associated to noncommutative dynamical systems via which these fractal groups were originally defined. In the computations we performed, the self-similarity of the groups is reflected in the self-similarity of some operators; they are approximated by finite counterparts whose spectrum is computed by an ad hoc factorization process.

description: This dissertation examines the importance of the concept of measurement to poets and literary critics in eighteenth-century England. It documents attempts to measure aspects of literary form, especially prosodic phenomena such as meter and rhythm, and it explores how these empirical and pseudo-empirical experiments influenced the writing and reading of poetry. During the Enlightenment, it argues, poets and critics were particularly drawn to prosody's apparent objectivity: through the parsing of lines and counting of syllables, prosody seemed to allow one to isolate and quite literally measure the beauty and significance of verse. Inquiries into the social and historical functions of literature routinely relied on this discourse, exploring questions of style, politics, and philosophy with the help of prosodic measurement. By drawing on works and artifacts ranging from dictionaries and grammars to mnemonic schemes and notional verse-making machines, and through close readings of poet-critics such as John Dryden, Alexander Pope, Thomas Gray, and Samuel Johnson, "Poetic Numbers" contends that the eighteenth century's fascination with prosody represents a foundational moment in the history of literary criticism: a moment whose acute self-consciousness about literary critical methods, as well as about whether and how these methods can aspire to count and account for aspects of literary experience, anticipates many of the methodological questions that mark our own time.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The provincial government has introduced a new policy for natural resource management in the mineral exploration and mining sectors of British Columbia (BC) that follows a coordinated and integrated approach. The objective of this coordination and integration is to establish an authorizations process that improves the efficiency and reduces overlap of information requirements and consultation related to permitting and authorizations for major mines in the province. Typically, applications for major mining projects requiring technical reviews from multiple agencies are reviewed by a Mine Development Review Committee (MDRC), which is comprised of appropriate representatives from provincial agencies, federal agencies, and First Nations. The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) remains the key contact for BC’s mining and mineral exploration industries and is the agency responsible for reviewing and permitting all mining and mineral exploration permit applications. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) is the lead for coordinating the MDRC process, as required, and is also responsible for coordinating First Nations consultation. An update on government structure and new staff at MEM; a review of the role and responsibilities of MEM; a review of key requirements of permitting under the Mines Act; and, an update regarding the changes in government structure that may affect Mines Act permit applicants is provided.
