description: In this paper, we describe an experimental test of the He-McKellar-Wilkens (HMW) topological phase with our lithium atom interferometer. The expected value of the HMW phase shift in our experiment is small and its measurement was difficult because of stray phase shifts due to small experimental defects. We start by describing our setup and we characterize the effects of the electric and magnetic fields needed to observe the HMW effect. Then, we develop a model of our interferometer signals including all the defects we have identified. After various tests of this model, we use it to suppress the largest part of the stray phase shifts. We thus obtain a series of measurements of the HMW phase: the results are 31% larger than expected and this discrepancy is probably due to some limitations of our model.

description: A visible and near infrared (VNIR) to shortwave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral dataset of the Early Archaean North Pole Dome, Pilbara Craton, Western Australia, has been analysed for indications of hydrothermal alteration. Occurrence maps of hydrothermal alteration minerals were produced. It was found that using a spatial resolution on the ground of approximately 5 m and spectral coverage from 0.4 to 2.5 mm was sufficient to delineate several hydrothermal alteration zones and associated veins, including phyllic, serpentinitic and chloritic alteration. These results suggest this level of spectral and spatial resolution would be ideal for localising shallow epithermal activity, should such activity have existed, on the surface of Mars.

description: The detailed numerical simulations of the IV-characteristics of Josephson junction under external electromagnetic radiation show devil's staircases within different bias current intervals. We have found that the observed steps form very precisely continued fractions. Increasing of the amplitude of radiation shifts the devil's staircases to higher Shapiro steps. The algorithm of appearing and detection of the subharmonics with increasing radiation amplitude is proposed. We demonstrate that subharmonic steps registered in the famous experiments by A. H. Dayem and J. J. Wiegand [Phys. Rev 155, 419 (1967)] and J. Clarke [Phys. Rev. B 4, 2963 (1971)] also form continued fractions.

description: The superconducting proximity effect on two-dimensional massless Dirac electrons is usually analyzed using a simple model consisting of the Dirac Hamiltonian and an energy-independent pair potential. Although this conventional model is plausible, it is questionable whether it can fully describe the proximity effect from a superconductor. Here, we derive a more general proximity model starting from an appropriate microscopic model for the Dirac electron system in planar contact with a superconductor. The resulting model describes the proximity effect in terms of the energy-dependent pair potential and renormalization term. Within this framework, we analyze the density of states, the quasiparticle wave function, and the charge conservation of Dirac electrons. The result reveals several characteristic features of the proximity effect, which cannot be captured within the conventional model.

description: In this paper we present Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA) 3.5 mm observations and SubMillimeter Array (SMA) 870 microns observations toward the high-mass star-forming region IRAS 1816-2048, the core of the HH 80/81/80N system. Molecular emission from HCN, HCO+ and SiO is tracing two molecular outflows (the so-called Northeast and Northwest outflows). These outflows have their origin in a region close to the position of MM2, a millimeter source known to harbor a couple protostars. We estimate for the first time the physical characteristics of these molecular outflows, which are similar to those of 1000-5000 Lo protostars, suggesting that MM2 harbors high-mass protostars. High-angular resolution CO observations show an additional outflow due southeast. We identify for the first time its driving source, MM2(E), and see evidence of precession. All three outflows have a monopolar appearance, but we link the NW and SE lobes, explaining their asymmetric shape as a consequence of possible deflection.

description: Linear optical quantum Fredkin gate can be applied to quantum computing and quantum multi-user communication network. In the existing linear optical scheme, two single photon detectors (SPDs) are used to heralding the success of the quantum Fredkin gate while they have no photon count. But analysis results show that for non-perfect SPD the lower the detector efficiency, the higher the heralded success rate by this scheme. We propose an improved linear optical quantum Fredkin gate by designing a new heralding scheme with an auxiliary qubit and only one SPD, in which the higher the detection efficiency of the heralding detector, the higher the success rate of the gate. The new heralding scheme can also work efficiently under non-ideal single photon source. Based on this quantum Fredkin gate, large-scale quantum switching networks can be built. As an example, a quantum Benes network in which only one SPD is used is shown.

Alumni Relations at the Heart of Philanthropy: Exploring volunteering and volunteer management opportunities

Publisher: name: ICAReAlumni Conference Proceedings
Year: 2019

description: ‘Friend-raising before Fundraising’ is a common phrase used in advancement work, implying that building relationships with alumni within our Higher Education Institutions is a pre-cursor to the ultimate effort of securing donations. In this keynote presentation, I hope to dispel this myth and demonstrate why Alumni Relations in and of itself is at the heart of philanthropy, in particular, through the interface of alumni and volunteering efforts. Throughout this interactive and energising session, I present academic and professional research literature, in both alumni relations and volunteer management, to show the central place of Alumni Relations to realise the philanthropic aims of our institutions. Philanthropy comes from the Greek ‘for the love of humanity’ and it is from this simple definition that Alumni Relations can reclaim its prominent and rightful place at the core of philanthropic work. Philanthropy concentrates on the giving of time, talent, treasure and ties, all of which can be fostered effectively through Alumni Relations. This “4Ts” framework also reveals the role of volunteer management programmes and engaging alumni as volunteers in a strategic, concerted and diffused way across our institutions. We will explore, through research evidence and case studies, the ways that these “4Ts’ of philanthropy promoted through volunteering can build the 4Is: interdependence, integration, identity and inherence, for lifelong value to our institution and especially for our alumni community. By the end of the session, we reflect on the following questions: What key strategies can I undertake—the small steps— to raise the profile and value of Alumni Relations as the heart of philanthropy within my institution? And, how can I enhance my volunteering initiatives to maximise the time, talent, treasure and ties by and for my alumni community?

description: Summary The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a land of opportunity, but remains a mystery to most outside the Middle East and North Africa. The Kingdom’s Vision 2030 outlines a dynamic future for young, educated Saudi Arabians in new, emerging and non-oil related economies including start-ups, innovation and tech. There’s never been a more exciting time to be connected to alumni in Saudi Arabia and regionally, with the Kingdom opening up to international visitors, creating new jobs for young people educated abroad, and developing greater tolerance for digital media giving international universities regular, easy access to their alumni. Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), with 50% of the Kingdom’s population of 27 million under 25 years of age. Most of these young Saudis are full-time students at universities within the Kingdom, or on government scholarships abroad. Universities internationally have benefited from Saudi Arabian government scholarships with students enrolled in programs for five or more years, resulting in an entire generation of Saudis who have returned home as global citizens and proud alumni of international alma maters. In 2017, 200,000 Saudi Arabian students were enrolled in overseas universities across North America, in the United Kingdom and Europe. Despite the large numbers of internationally educated Saudi Arabians, and the immense loyalty these alum feel to their alma maters for a transformational student and life experience, there is a reluctance from many advancement professionals to travel to the region where face-to-face interactions are essential in establishing trust and building relationships. Further, many of these institutions continue to operate a one-size-fits-all engagement program that culturally and geographically preclude participation. This paper discusses implications for advancement professionals in developing engagement strategies for alumni who live within the MENA region.

description: Multi-frequency power maps of the local acoustic oscillations show acoustic enhancements (\acoustic-power halos") at high frequencies surrounding large active region. Computational seismic holography reveals a high-frequency \acoustic-emission halo", or \seismic glory" surrounding large active regions. In this study, we have applied computational seismic holography to map the seismic seismic source density surrounding AR 11429. Studies of HMI/SDO Doppler data, shows that the "acoustic halos" and the "seismic glories" are prominent at high frequencies 5-8 mHz. We investigate morphological properties of acoustic-power and acoustic emission halos around an active region to see if they are spatially correlated. Details about the local magnetic field from vectormagnetograms of AR 11429 are included. We identify a 15" region of seismic deficit power (dark moat) shielding the white-light boundary of the active region. The size of the seismic moat is related to region of intermediate magnetic field strength. The acoustic moat is circled by the halo of enhanced seismic amplitude as well as enhanced seismic emission. Overall, the results suggest that features are related. However, if we narrow the frequency band to 5.5-6.5 mHz, we find that the seismic source density dominates over the local acoustic power, suggesting the existence of sources that emit more energy downward into the solar interior than upward toward the solar surface.

description: ntroduction and aim:CASE conducted research across 140 institutions across 27 countries from Europe and Asia-Pacific to better understand the state of alumni relations across the globe with the aim of answering two basic questions:1. What are we giving to our alumni communities? How do we provide support that is helpful and meaningful?2. In turn, what are our alumni giving to our institutions? How is that support enabling our missions? Are we making the most of their support?This data has enabled us to create a framework to measure metrics for alumni relations in a robust and standardised manner.• Research methodology:CASE conducted an institutional survey of 140 institutions in Europe and Asia-Pacific that have active alumni relations programmes. The survey was administered 2017 and collected data corresponding to 2016-2017. The data was queried and verified following a rigorous set of arithmetic, logic, ratio and substantive checks. Monetary data collected was converted into GBP as the base currency for Europe and AUD as the base currency for Asia-Pacific. The insights from the data were triangulated with nominations and award winners from the CASE Circle of Excellence awards and this overlay of quantitative and qualitative data truly brought the findings to life. A consolidated report was published in October 2018.Another pilot study was run with seven institutions to test the framework that was developed to alumni relations metrics in 2015, 2016 and 2017.• Results and implications:The results have implications in the following areas:- Defining key metrics and terms in alumni relations impact and measurement- Facilitate development of frameworks and models in alumni relations- Enable alumni relations practitioners to apply the research findings in a practicable and actionable manner• Conclusion:Based on the findings we now know the impact of engaging alumni on achieving an institution’s strategic goals (usually focused on recruitment, teaching and the student experience and research) and the impact on the success and fulfilment of alumni themselves.The findings throw light on strategic alumni relations planning by offering insights into decision making in alumni relations programming.The presentation will also focus on the benefits of alumni advocacy supporting reputation and other non-financial considerations. Examples will be presented from institutions across the globe that have successfully used their alumni to build and manage brand reputation.Lastly, it presents a toolkit to justify and bid for resources to carry out the vital work alumni relations professionals do to demonstrate why giving the sector more funding results in more positive outcomes for our institutions.

Advancing HE through the voice(s) of experience

Publisher: name: ICAReAlumni Conference Proceedings
Year: 2019

description: This original mixed methods study identified the potential of a systematically sought and sustained seeking of the Graduate Voice over time to inform academics, institutions and policy makers alike in Higher Education (HE). It was conducted with 202 responding graduates from across the globe who completed degrees at English universities across all institutional mission groups during the 1970s, 80s, 90s and 2000s. The Graduate Voice currently appears selectively in HE through interventions in academic courses as providers of placements, careers talks, informed expert guest lectures, alumni awards, buddy schemes or high-profile alumni philanthropy (Warren et al, 2014). According to the findings of this research study, graduates considered their potential contributions undervalued by their institutions in terms of what they can do for their university (Gallo, 2012) in this important mutual relationship. Graduates identified that many would never achieve roles as financial philanthropists but considered they had significant contributions to offer as informed participants, employers, parents, ambassadors and evaluators. Most had never been asked to constructively reflect on their perceived value of their degrees or to contribute their perspective, something they identified as a missed opportunity. The research indicates significant advantages in maintaining intensive relationships with almae matres and placing the Graduate Voice at the heart of 21st century higher education. Building this key relationship supports individuals, institutions and the sector in providing informed perceptions to influence prospective students, current students, policy markers, alumni networks and institutional advancement. The potential capacity of developing this vital ongoing relationship for individual institutions to sustain their unique offering and identities in an increasingly competitive marketplace was a fature of the research. An additional outcome of the study was the indication of significant individual and sectoral risks if the Graduate Voice should be ignored.

description: Introduction and aim: Activities of alumni organisation in Latvia and The Baltic States are a new phenomenon. It allows us to look for the best approach and solutions to attract university graduates. The goal of this research was to find the best tools for engaging university graduates of specific scientific group in alumni organisation. The hypothesis of this research was that a specific event for a certain group of alumni can enhance the recognition of Alumni organisation and their willingness to engage in alumni action. Research methodology: To prove this hypothesis an event for a certain group of alumni was organised, it included three parts: success stories of alumni, reunion and networking activities. The research is based on the analysis of the growth dynamics of the number of graduates and analysis of the feedback gained through interviews of specific scientific group before and after activities. Results: In result, 167 guests who belong to a certain group had attended the event. Before the event 7% of all alumni association members were representatives of certain group, but after the event, there were 26% of group representatives among alumni association members. This means that 46% of the guests of the event became members of the association, which increased the total number of members of the association to 19%. Conclusion: A certain group of alumni was enhanced after the event with specific activities. This proved that specific events can increase the recognition of alumni organisation and the willingness to engage in alumni action. This provides the basis for future research about segmentation of alumni and allows to explore the types of engagement of each group.

description: We consider possible signatures for Yukawa gravity within the Galactic Central Parsec, based on our analysis of the S2 star orbital precession around the massive compact dark object at the Galactic Centre, and on the comparisons between the simulated orbits in Yukawa gravity and two independent sets of observations. Our simulations resulted in strong constraints on the range of Yukawa interaction $Λ$ and showed that its most probable value in the case of S2 star is around 5000 - 7000 AU. At the same time, we were not able to obtain reliable constrains on the universal constant $δ$ of Yukawa gravity, because the current observations of S2 star indicated that it may be highly correlated with parameter $Λ$ in the range $(0 2$ they are not correlated. However, the same universal constant which was successfully applied to clusters of galaxies and rotation curves of spiral galaxies ($δ=1/3$) also gives a satisfactory agreement with the observed orbital precession of the S2 star, and in that case the most probable value for the scale parameter is $Λ\approx 3000 \pm 1500$ AU. Also, the Yukawa gravity potential induces precession of S2 star orbit in the same direction as General Relativity for $δ> 0$ and for $δ< -1$, and in the opposite direction for $-1

description: With advances in hardware and networking technologies and mass manufacturing, the cost of high end hardware had fall dramatically in recent years. However, software cost still remains high and is the dominant fraction of the overall computing budget. Application sharing is a promising solution to reduce the overall IT cost. Currently software licenses are still based on the number of copies installed. An organization can thus reduce the IT cost if the users are able to remotely access the software that is installed on certain computer servers instead of running the software on every local computer. In this paper, we propose a generic application sharing architecture for users' application sharing in a cluster of closed operating systems such as Microsoft Windows. We also propose a broker-mediated solution where we allow multiple users to access a single user software license on a time multiplex basis through a single logged in user. An application sharing tool called ShAppliT has been introduced and implemented in Microsoft Windows operating system. We evaluated their performance on CPU usage and memory consumption when a computer is hosting multiple concurrent shared application sessions.

description: Rock-salt chalcogenide SnTe represents the simplest realization of a topological insulator where a crystal symmetry allows for the appearence of topologically protected metallic states with an even number of Dirac cones on high-symmetry crystal surfaces. Related rock-salt lead chalcogenides have been predicted as well to undergo a phase-transition to a topological crystalline insulating phase after band inversion induced by alloying and pressure. Here we theoretically predict that strain, as realized in thin films grown on (001) substrates, may induce such topological phase-transitions. Furthermore, relevant topological properties of the surface states, such as the location of the Dirac cones on the surface Brillouin zone or the decay length of edge states, appear to be tunable with strain, with potential implications for technological devices benefiting from those additional degrees of freedom.

description: We took rather unpopular decision and decided to craft an alumni platform ourselves to suit our own specific needs. We are planning to launch it in May. Platform will not only provide opportunity for two way communication, include first time ever donation campaign, but also provide alumni with a virtual alumni service card. Alumni for a long time await for the opening of universities‘ services. For this to happen we had to do a huge homework of digitalizing alumni profiles from 1954 to 2001 for the verification purposes. Will we succeed with effective start? Will we attract thousands of alumni to the platform? Is that a right marketing strategy? Come and hear, come and share. We start from scratch. If you are or have been in a similar situation, it would be lovely to discuss with you.

description: For all integers $k\geq 3$, we give an $O(n^4)$ time algorithm for the problem whose instance is a graph $G$ of girth at least $k$ together with $k$ vertices and whose question is "Does $G$ contains an induced subgraph containing the $k$ vertices and isomorphic to a tree?". This directly follows for $k=3$ from the three-in-a-tree algorithm of Chudnovsky and Seymour and for $k=4$ from a result of Derhy, Picouleau and Trotignon. Here we solve the problem for $k\geq 5$. Our algorithm relies on a structural description of graphs of girth at least $k$ that do not contain an induced tree covering $k$ given vertices ($k\geq 5$).

description: It is shown that the results of CP and T violation experiments can be interpreted using a very general framework that does not require a Hilbert space of states or linear operators to represent the symmetries or dynamics. Analysis within this general framework brings out the aspects of quantum mechanics that are essential for this interpretation. More importantly, should quantum mechanics be eventually replaced by a new paradigm, this framework could \emph{still} be used to establish violation of CP and T invariance from the already known experimental results. This work arose as a `formal response' to a talk "Three Merry Roads to T-Violation" by Dr. Bryan Roberts [1]. Both talks were given at a "Workshop on Cosmology and Time" held at Penn State in April 2013, which brought together physicists and philosophers of science.

description: In this communication we will analyse the development of the Alumni Network of Polytechnic of Leiria, a higher public education institution in Portugal. The Alumni Network of Polytechnic of Leiria was constituted in February of 2012 with the aim to recover alumni relations, facilitating interactions, promoting the sharing of experiences and reinforcing the Institution’s recognition/image, empowering the long life learning, the information and knowledge updates and the reinforcement of an oriented community for the scientific and technological production. The Institution has around 12,000 current students and we estimate that 40,000 have finished their courses, short cycle’s, undergraduates and master’s degrees. The network has more than 4,000 registered alumni. In LinkedIn there are 13,500 former students connected and in Facebook there are more than 7,000 alumni following the page. This network develops activities towards former students such as: walk gatherings; anniversary cards; alumni days; the publishing of conferences, seminars, program offers; direct invitation to be a speaker; testimony collection; and alumni passport. The alumni passport is the official document sent to all alumni when they register that grants special conditions like access to canteens/bars and libraries; participation with special discount in events, conferences, courses and discounts in enterprises with an agreement with Polytechnic of Leiria. The testimony collection (flyers, videos) is also a great moment in the network since all the community can see the experiences before and after the alumni attended their school. The former students report their memories as resident students and the importance of the training received, presenting suggestions for the network life. Actually most of the activities are developed with the involvement and collaboration of current students who implement marketing strategies, creativity and new work tools to engage alumni. We regularly publish the initiatives/enterprises of our alumni and the prizes obtained. This is very courageous for them and we let all of the community know what they are doing, enabling them to be proud. This is also a way to inspire the current and future students. This is also a way to give visibility to the Institution which sees its reputation spread. Alumni of this initiative are also promotors of employment and are willing to recruit students from the same Institution. The mentors/ambassadors living in the country or even abroad are well engage to help other students. We are proud with the network development but conscious that a long way is waiting ahead, regarding the bigger involvement needed from the internal academic community if we want to reach volunteering and fundraise, another dimension of alumni relations and to proceed the alumni potential.

How well do you know your alumni? A word on alumni segmentation

description: When talking about knowing our alumni, we tend to talk about activities, figures, statistics and aims. However, in order to reach out to them we need to start talking about who they really are. What they want and need, how they live their lives, what excites them, what they dislike, where can we find them in order for our messages to reach them? The biggest challenge we face in alumni relations is the sheer number of target groups we’re addressing. It’s a huge audience. We’re addressing everyone from baby boomers to generations X and Y, millennials and Gen Zs. And not only that. We’re also addressing university management and other decision makers, our co-workers, students and business partners. How to reach out to any of them, what tools to use, how to motivate them, how to know them better in order to interact with them more successfully? In order for our everyday work to get momentum? Detailed segmentation and specific communication tools for each target group are the answer. By using methods like empathy map, surveys and interviews, we can evaluate what our alumni and stakeholders are expecting to get from us. Knowing about them and their interests not only helps us be more efficient at what we do but also helps us invest in activities that bring our alumni and other stakeholders the most benefit. If we want to reach all of our alumni, we need to address them in different ways, with different communication tools and different contents, different actions need to be taken and different events need to be organized. If we fail at segmentation, we eventually face consequences like: our activities are meaningless to our audience resulting in low event attendance, our messages don’t get across, our brand is unrecognised within our target groups, our alumni and stakeholders show little interest in what we do etc. Knowing your partner well is vital for any successful long-term relationship. Therefore, segmentation is a crucial part in alumni relations and it needs to be done early on in development process. It also needs to be periodically repeated. There is no other way of knowing what our alumni want and need if we do not invest time in getting to know their interests. And if we don’t know them, how can we succeed in building meaningful relationships with them?

The Vanishing Twist in the Restricted Three Body Problem

description: This paper demonstrates the existence of twistless tori and the associated reconnection bifurcations and meandering curves in the planar circular restricted three-body problem. Near the Lagrangian equilibrium $\mathcal{L}_4$ a twistless torus is created near the tripling bifurcation of the short period family. Decreasing the mass ratio leads to twistless bifurcations which are particularly prominent for rotation numbers 3/10 and 2/7. This scenario is studied by numerically integrating the regularised Hamiltonian flow, and finding rotation numbers of invariant curves in a two-dimensional Poincaré map. To corroborate the numerical results the Birkhoff normal form at $\mathcal{L}_4$ is calculated to eighth order. Truncating at this order gives an integrable system, and the rotation numbers obtained from the Birkhoff normal form agree well with the numerical results. A global overview for the mass ratio $μ\in (μ_4, μ_3)$ is presented by showing lines of constant energy and constant rotation number in action space.

description: Excerpts: The research study, made by the Department of Agriculture to determine the effects that utilization of maleic hydrazide on tobacco for sucker control has upon the leaf produced for cigarette manufacture, shows that this chemical changes the chemical and physical properties of the leaf. The changes as to the physical effects on U.S. cigarette leaf suggest severe economic repercussions. The loss of filling capacity alone threatens to substantially reduce the sale of U. S. leaf for economic reasons in such very high duty countries as Great Britain and Ireland, which together took 43 percent of U. S. flue-cured leaf exports in 1960. It would also reduce the competitiveness of U. S. leaf in other countries. A decrease in consumer smoking preferences because of the effects of maleic hydrazide in association with other questionable changes in tobacco, would decrease export demand for U. S. leaf as soon as competitive foreign production can furnish the necessary volume. A successful tobacco support program rests upon human ability to readily identify and classify leaf suitability for the making of a consumer preferred product. This is becoming exceedingly difficult to do in an adequate fashion. Unknown factors caused by genetic crossbreeding and chemical additives, including the use of maleic hydrazide are making all known classification systems of little value as leaf suitability measurements.
Promised Land? Immigration, Religiosity, and Space in Southern California

description: This article looks at how immigrants and their supporters appropriate and use religious space and other public spaces for religious and socio-political purposes in Southern California. While the everyday living conditions of many immigrants, particularly the unauthorized Latino immigrants, force unto them an embodied disciplinarity that maintains spatialities of restricted citizenship, the public appropriations of space for and through religious practices allow for them -even if only momentarily -to express an embodied transgression. This practice in public space helps realize spaces of freedom and hope, however ephemerally. Potentially, these rehearsing exercises can help revert internalized disempowering subjectivities and create social empowerment. Negative stereotypes about immigrants held by the larger public can also be challenged through these spatial practices, as the public demonstrations make visible the invisible. We focus on “Posadas Without Borders” and “the New Sanctuary Movement,” considering both the role of progressive civic and religious institutions in supporting immigrants and the agency of the immigrants themselves. The theoretical analysis builds on concepts drawn from a conversation between geography and religious and theological studies. We use a triangulated methodological approach that includes observation and participant observation, content-analysis of multimedia, interviews, and intellectual advocacy for the immigrant movement. The cases discussed here show that progressive religious groups and coalitions can be important allies to progressive planners, geographers, and policy makers in advancing social and environmental justice for the disenfranchised. They also show that the theological underpinnings of such groups share a lot in common with planning epistemologies for the just city.
Alumni’s Perceptions about Commitment towards their University: Drivers and Consequences

description: Purpose: This paper intends to capture alumni’s assessments and perceptions about decisive dimensions of their commitment towards their alma mater. Their academic experience and current situation are highlighted. Moreover, their perception about the role of Higher Education Institution (HEI) in this commitment-relationship is likewise valuable to get their involvement. Design: The study took place at a Portuguese university. Three focus groups, with 21 participants, were conducted to get consistent information permitting further developments. Data were analysed through NVivo software. Findings: The study gives interesting insights revealing dimensions such as the relationships with teachers, extra-curricular activities and initiation as decisive in their academic experience (AE). Recommending and sharing their experience, underline evidence of what they are willing to give back. A strong sense of belonging defined alumni statements, as well as pride at being part of the university. But they all demand an effective ability of the university to communicate with them. Value: Overall conclusions offer a clear scenario of alumni’s commitment, giving HEI’s management valuable clues to improvement, but its responsibility in this commitment-relationship was also stressed. Moreover, results also provide strong contributions to literature enabling other HEIs to replicate the study or simply use the results for their own development.

Sharp low frequency resolvent estimates on asymptotically conical manifolds

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: On a class of asymptotically conical manifolds, we prove two types of low frequency estimates for the resolvent of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. The first result is a uniform $ L^2 \rightarrow L^2 $ bound for $ \langle r \rangle^{-1} (- Δ_G - z)^{-1} \langle r \rangle^{-1} $ when $ \mbox{Re}(z) $ is small, with the optimal weight $ \langle r \rangle^{-1} $. The second one is about powers of the resolvent. For any integer $N$, we prove uniform $ L^2 \rightarrow L^2 $ bounds for $ \langle εr \rangle^{-N} (-ε^{-2} Δ_G - Z)^{-N} \langle εr \rangle^{-N} $ when $ \mbox{Re}(Z) $ belongs to a compact subset of $ (0,+\infty) $ and $ 0 < ε\ll 1 $. These results are obtained by proving similar estimates on a pure cone with a long range perturbation of the metric at infinity.
