description: A generalization of the q-(Pfaff)-Saalschutz summation formula is proved. This implies a generalization of the Burge transform, resulting in an additional dimension of the ``Burge tree''. Limiting cases of our summation formula imply the (higher-level) Bailey lemma, provide a new decomposition of the q-multinomial coefficients, and can be used to prove the Lepowsky and Primc formula for the A_1^{(1)} string functions.

Possibility of a new order parameter driven by multipolar moment and Fermi surface evolution in CeGe
Creators: name: Singh, Karan

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Polycrystalline CeGe is investigated by means of DC and AC susceptibility, non-linear DC susceptibility, electrical transport and heat capacity measurements in the low temperature regime. This compound shows two peaks at low magnetic field approximately around 10.7 and 7.3 K due to antiferromagnetic ordering and subsequent spin rearrangement respectively. Investigation of non-linear DC susceptibility reveals a presence of higher order magnetization which results in the development of a new order parameter around 10.7 K. This leads to a lowering of symmetry of the magnetic state. The order parameter increases with decreasing temperature and stabilizes around 7.3 K. Consequently, the symmetry of the magnetic state is preserved below this transition. Heat capacity and resistivity results indicate the presence of a gap opening around 10.7 K on portion of Fermi surface, due to evolution of the Fermi surface. Magnetoresistance behavior and violation of Kohlers rule suggest that the evolution of Fermi surface changes the symmetry of magnetic state. The observation of new order parameter (which is of second order) is also confirmed from the Landau free energy theory.
Krishna in his Myriad Forms: Narration, Translation and Variation in Illustrated Manuscripts of the Latter Half of the Tenth Book of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa

description: This dissertation focuses on a seventeenth-century (so-called) Malwa manuscript that illustrates the story of Krishna, and the copy manuscripts that were produced after it. It explores how the story is transformed in its incarnations as the vernacular text inscribed on the manuscript, the cycle of illustrations depicting that text, and then the copies made from what appear to be the initial illustrations. The claim is that narrative variations which find their way into these different embodiments should almost never be considered "mistakes," even when an act of misunderstanding seems to be clearly implied. Rather they are moments when the artist's or author's engagement with contemporary sectarian concerns, literary trends, artistic strategies and popular culture is manifest. The first three chapters of the dissertation are devoted to an analysis of text, illustration and copy illustration respectively, while the fourth presents the broader context in which such Krishna manuscripts were circulating.The underlying objective is to re-evaluate the conventional narrative of North Indian illustrated manuscripts. This is cast as the teleology of court styles where political history is used to decide important and influential ateliers. Visually compelling and historically important illustrated manuscripts such as the ones I study, but whose patronizing court is undecided, are largely ignored. This dissertation showcases an alternative, interdisciplinary approach that undertakes thorough visual and textual analyses alongside an examination of the broader socio-religious trends that impacted artistic production. It advocates that every illustrated manuscript should be studied individually, rather than as just a member of a predetermined stylistic group.

description: This Article compares the democratic accountability mechanisms in place in the area of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) with those existing in other fields of EU law. In so doing, it shows that, although democratic accountability standards have generally been improved following the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, important shortcomings still exist as a result of institutional flaws and practice in EU decision-making. It then shows that the accountability gap that exists in the field of EMU is even deeper owing to the complexity of the procedures in place, and to the informality that characterises some of them as well as some of the decision-making bodies involved (chief of which is the Eurogroup). The Article concludes by making some proposals to improve the current unsatisfactory situation, improvement which will be ever more necessary in post-Covid times.
Origin and evolution of ferroelectricity in the layered rare-earth-titanate, $R_2$Ti$_2$O$_{7}$, Lichtenberg phases

description: We report a systematic first-principles study based on density functional theory (DFT) of the structural and ferroelectric properties of the $R_2$Ti$_2$O$_{7}$ perovskite-related oxides with $R=$ La, Ce, Pr, and Nd. We show that, in all cases, the ferroelectric distortion to the ground-state polar $P2_1$ structure from its parent centrosymmetric $P2_1/m$ phase is driven by a single polar soft mode consisting of rotations and tilts of the TiO$_6$ octahedra combined with displacements of the $R$ ions. A secondary centrosymmetric distortion, which is stable in the parent structure, contributes substantially to the energy lowering of the ground state. We evaluate the trends in structure and polarization across the series as a function of $R$ and reconcile discrepancies in reported values of polarization in the literature. Our results confirm that the family of $R_2$Ti$_2$O$_{7}$ materials belong to the class of proper geometric ferroelectrics.

description: This paper presents an inertial sensor aided technique for beam alignment and tracking in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications based on millimeter waves (mmWave). Since directional communications in vehicular scenarios are severely hindered by beam pointing issues, a beam alignment procedure has to be periodically carried out to guarantee the communication reliability. When dealing with massive MIMO links, the beam sweeping approach is known to be time consuming and often unfeasible due to latency constraints. To speed up the process, we propose a method that exploits a-priori information on array dynamics provided by an inertial sensor on transceivers to assist the beam alignment procedure. The proposed inertial sensor aided technique allows a continuous tracking of the beam while transmitting, avoiding frequent realignment phases. Numerical results based on real measurements of on-transceiver accelerometers demonstrate a significant gain in terms of V2V communication throughput with respect to conventional beam alignment protocols.

description: This dissertation explores the multifaceted life of Kurt Birrenbach as a window into the historical evolution of a Liberal German Atlanticism during the post-World War II era.  While tracing the development of this Atlanticism into a "mature," establishment phenomenon, themes addressed include the founding and financing of an elaborate infrastructure, the creation of extensive political networks also stretching abroad, the execution of ambitious public relations actions, and distinct tendencies towards geographic and thematic expansion.  Those challenges confronting Atlanticism in the Federal Republic, among them the persistence of Conservative Abendland perspectives and, later, the rise on the Left of interrelated pacifist, anti-nuclear and environmental movements, are touched upon as well.  The broader historiographical issues examined encompass postwar continuity and discontinuity in the Federal Republic, processes of Americanization, the functioning of transnational networks, the impact of generational change, and the political engagement of West German business.
Establishment and growth of mycorrhizal and rhizobium inoculated high-elevation native legumes on an unamended coal mine spobl dump in Southeastern British Columbia
Creators: name: Smyth, Clint R.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Direct seeding, transplant survivorship, growth and reproductive performance of seven mycorrhizal and Rhizobium inoculated high-elevation native legume species were studied at a coal mine in the Rocky Mountains of southeastern British Columbia. Mycorrhizal and Rhizobium infection levels were low in the control treatment and highest in the combined inoculation treatments of all species. Transplant survival of each species was greatest for the combined inoculation treatment and lowest for the uninoculated control. Inoculation with mycorrhizae, Rhizobium or a combination of mycorrhizae and Rhizobium resulted in greater mean plant diameters, mean plant heights, mean numbers of leaves per plant and mean percentage flowering than the uninoculated control plants. Measured plant parameters for the single inoculation treatments, i.e., mycorrhizal or Rhizobium, were greater than the control, but the greatest increases were recorded for the combination inoculation treatment. The greatest differences in the measured parameters were recorded for silky locoweed (Oxytropis sericea Nutt.) although differences were also large for Bourgeau's milk-vetch (Astragalus bourgovii A. Gray), Robin's milk-vetch (Astragalus robbinsii [Oakes] A. Gray) and bent-flowered milk-vetch (Astragalus vexilliflexus var. nubilus Barneby). The results of the study have important management implications for the successful establishment of these species on unamended spoil dumps at high elevations.

Evaluation of Research Data File Errors - First Results
Creators: name: Markus, Katharina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024
Subjects: digital preservation

description: The digital preservation community is well acquainted with text publications, as well as file format identification and validation of these file types. In contrast, research data publications are becoming more frequent, introducing more or different kinds of format errors messages.The PUBLISSO – Repository for Life Sciences at ZB MED – Information Centre for Life Sciences contains both types of publication. In the process of transferring these to the digital preservation system, differences in file error messages and error handling emerged. This lightning talk intends to give a first view into the error types prominent for research data, comparing them to typical errors for text publications. It will focus specifically on those types of format validation and identification error messages that often indicate severe file errors. It will also introduce a possible approach to researching these error messages and their causes, as well as an example of resolving errors post-publication. Furthermore, it will raise various questions – such as ways to approach preservation actions that result in slight file changes and if these actions may already have an effect on research data integrity and technical compatibility with research software. It will also touch upon the question of handling relevant context material like standards which are not published alongside research data but may be necessary for its reusability in the long-term. Finally, it will give an overview of changes to our repository publication policy that have been introduced as a consequence of discussing these topics.

description: This paper develops a theoretical model to examine the relationship between the input elasticity of (technical) substitution and both farm total factor productivity and size. In the presence of ongoing technical change and its factor bias, the ‘income effect’ arising from farms’ cost minimising behaviour enables them to increase productivity by saving inputs or, through the dual equivalent, enlarging farm size. As such, farms with higher elasticities of substitution tend to grow larger and become more productive, which provides a new mechanism through which farm heterogeneity in productivity growth can be examined. Empirical evidence from Australian broadacre agriculture supports this theory and points to important policy implications.

description: Background
Routine liver function tests capture information about the metabolic and inflammatory condition of the liver, but we lack sensitive biomarkers of early hepatocyte stress. In humans, soluble CD46 (sCD46) levels in blood were recently identified as an accurate biomarker of hepatic steatosis. Here, we explore the diagnostic utility of sCD46 in other liver diseases.
Methods
We developed, optimised and validated an ELISA that facilitates measurements of human sCD46 in plasma, serum and culture supernatants. Then, we analysed mechanisms that lead to the release of sCD46 and identified its role in various hepatic stress conditions.
Results
We discovered that prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) drives upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 in fat-loaded hepatocytes, leading to proteolytic shedding of CD46. We further found that sCD46 release was increased by viral, toxic and hypoxic stresses.
Conclusions
sCD46 appears to be a promising biomarker with potential applications in the detection of early liver diseases or monitoring therapeutic responses, which could complement established diagnostic algorithms because sCD46 release is uniquely responsive to hepatocyte stress.

description: Ocean turbidity (associated with sediment from rivers) can significantly impact reef health. In Australia, there are many plans to reduce sediment loads by encouraging best management practices; there is also interest in the use of market-based instruments. But it is exceedingly difficult to assess the potential efficacy of market policies, since that requires one to determine how changes in the socio-economic system (e.g. price changes) impact the biophysical (e.g. sediment loads). We use historical data (from 1938 to 2011) in a vector autoregression model to simultaneously model interactions between the economic and biophysical systems in the Burdekin River catchment adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) lagoon. This allows us to statistically test for the impact of changes in prices on sediment load, while controlling for biophysical influences. We find that extreme events have the most impact on sediment loads, but that prices also impact sediment loads. Evidently market-based policies may have the potential to reduce sediment loads. Our empirical results provide useful information for those interested in the Burdekin River catchment and the GBR; the modelling approach may have wide applicability in a variety of contexts.

description: This dissertation examines the discomfort around the insult in different specialized languages, analyzing the relationship between insult, politics, and culture in the history of Colombia. When viewed as an element of discourse, the insult illuminates certain critical events and subjects in the history of the nation. The insult is understood in a wide variety of ways --as direct enunciation of offending words, as the imminent failure of communication, as the staged claim of being offended, or as verbal and performative tool for electoral purposes. This dissertation analyzes a heterogeneous corpus of political, historiographic, journalistic, religious, legal, literary, proselytizing, pamphleteering, and digital primary sources. It spans the period from the Independence crisis at the beginning of nineteenth century to the digital architecture that enables online comment sections of mass media site in the twenty-first century. Each chapter reflects on one or two specialized language that, according to certain individuals or events, develop mechanisms to relegate the insult, and, from them, strategies and tactics are detailed in terms of its exploitation, containment, control, revitalization, overflow, and even involuntary stimulus.

description: Located in the East Harlem section of Manhattan, La Marqueta was established in the 1930s to house the abundance of pushcart vendors clogging the city’s streets, and is now one of only four remaining public markets in the five boroughs. At the peak of Spanish Harlem in the 1950’s and ‘60s, La Marqueta had more than 500 vendors. As the East Harlem neighborhood has changed, however, La Marqueta has dwindled in size to only eight vendors and continues to struggle to attract customers and support profitable businesses. This thesis will analyze the feasibility of La Marqueta’s future in East Harlem through a neighborhood demographic and retail analysis as well as a comparative analysis of other markets with similar characteristics to La Marqueta. Ultimately, this research will provide recommendations for La Marqueta to support profitable and sustainable businesses and increase foot traffic and sales at the market.

description: Chemical fixation of CO2 with epoxides catalyzed by organic-base salts were found to be efficient among the various catalysts tested due to synergetic effects of HBDs and halide-ions for ring-opening. In this study, 1,4,6-Triaza–bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-4-enium bromide catalyzed conversion of CO2 and epoxide into cyclic-carbonate has been studied by using DFT method to understand the reaction mechanism and the catalytic performance of TBO.HBr. Two hypothetical reaction mechanisms were proposed for the coupling reaction. Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were computed for each steps to determine the more favorable route. Mechanism II is more favorable path whereby Br- ion first interacts with epoxide to form bromo-alcohol, which directed to form carbonate-ion and finally ring-closure step yielded cyclic-carbonate with catalyst-regeneration. Cyclization step is rate-determining step with reaction barrier of 22.696 kcal/mol in gas phase. Ensuing the favorable mechanism, solvent-effects on the reaction barrier has been investigated using water and THF. Mechanism II is still more favorable reaction path in both THF and water. However, the rate-determining step is found to be ring-opening of the epoxide with reaction barrier of 22.658 kcal/mol (wate) and 21.969 kcal/mol (THF). In this study, TBO.HBr exhibited good catalytic activity for the title reaction investigated in both gas phase and solvents.

description: At a time when urban populations are growing and sprawling at exponential rates, the need for control over the complexity and potential harm of our urban systems is evident. We have only a dim understanding of the complex processes of natural and manmade feedbacks including the water and carbon cycles, information networking, and resource harvesting. These processes network our cities to each other and to the rest of the world, and a concrete paradigm of sustainability could afford us with the long-term, unifying planning goals that will help incorporate private interests with environmental interests while simultaneously working for social good in the city. An examination of
the theory as compared to implementation will offer us insight into the way sustainability can or should be applied to cities.

description: In 2016, the Colombian National Congress endorsed the Peace Agreement with the largest guerrilla group in the country, FARC. Prior to this political benchmark episode, the National Government, under different executive agendas, sought to overcome the Colombian armed conflict through different approaches. Formal education has been historically conceived as a central area for advancing peace and democracy. Today, under a holistic model of Transitional Justice and the slow implementation of the 2016 Peace Accords, schools hold a key role in forming young citizens for peacebuilding, respect for human rights, and democratization. In this research project, I examine how high school students take up civic subjectivity in relation to the ongoing political transition in Colombia. I also explore the interplay between civic subjectivity and historical memory, emphasizing how students’ understandings of the past inform their civic positionings and actions in the present regarding the armed conflict and the prospects for conflict transformation. This study engages with the Foucauldian conceptualization of subjectivity as the two-fold process of “being-made” and “self-making”. Drawing on 22 weeks of ethnographic fieldwork at Colegio San Antonio public school (Eastern Antioquia), I analyze students’ encounters with the difficult past —often in the form of textured silences— and how these give shape to their construction of previous and contemporary armed violence and civic action/responsibilities on this matter. By paying attention to participants’ everyday lives and social navigation inside and outside of school, this dissertation discusses the tensions and negotiations youth face in the process of giving historical and political meanings to the armed conflict and current transition. It also sheds light on the intertwined dimensions of temporality, spatiality, and experience in how youth conceive and position themselves as civic actors. This study demonstrates how, through civic disjunctures, students partake in their becoming as citizens who challenge fixed and already-established notions on what peace is, should be, and what the school is expected to do to form peaceful citizens. This dissertation concludes with some reflections about the possible intersections between civic education and Transitional Justice’s efforts.
Urban Employment and Population in Sussex Between 1550 and 1660

description: This article seeks to examine the range and volume of employment opportunity in the four major towns of eastern Sussex between 1550 and 1660, and to correlate this, where possible, with the course of demographic change. Although three of these communities - Brighton, Hastings and Rye - were primarily dependent on maritime employment, especially fishing, such employment decreased sharply at Rye but expanded at Brighton and Hastings. This divergence is reflected in their demographic history. By contrast the employment structure of Lewes, also a maritime community, was much more broadly and securely based, reflecting its role as a major regional centre for marketing, retailing, manufacture, administration, professional services and residence by local gentry.

description: In the context of the open inflationary universe, we calculate the amplitude of quantum fluctuations which deform the bubble shape. These give rise to scalar field fluctuations in the open Friedman-Robertson-Walker universe which is contained inside the bubble. One can transform to a new gauge in which matter looks perfectly smooth, and then the perturbations behave as tensor modes (gravitational waves of very long wavelength). For $(1-Ω)<<1$, where $Ω$ is the density parameter, the microwave temperature anisotropies produced by these modes are of order $δT/T\sim H(R_0μl)^{-1/2} (1-Ω)^{l/2}$. Here, $H$ is the expansion rate during inflation, $R_0$ is the intrinsic radius of the bubble at the time of nucleation, $μ$ is the bubble wall tension and $l$ labels the different multipoles ($l>1$). The gravitational backreaction of the bubble has been ignored. In this approximation, $GμR_0<<1$, and the new effect can be much larger than the one due to ordinary gravitational waves generated during inflation (unless, of course, $Ω$ gets too close to one, in which case the new effect disappears).

description: Microbes are tiny organism present everywhere in water, air and soil. Employment of biotechnological approaches with microorganism offer a broad field of research in agriculture and sustainable development. Harnessing the potential application of microbial biotechnology in agriculture is considered as a most fruitful and long-term solution to promote quality crop production, food safety, food security, value-added products, human nutrition and functional foods, plant and animal protection. Several microorganisms have been identified which gave benefit to plants through protection against insects, pests, disease and abiotic threats. Microbial–technology applicable in the production of biofertilizers, bio-pesticides, bio-herbicides, bio-insecticides etc. Microbial–assisted breeding is emerging research area which provide strength to the sustainable crop improvement in the era of climate change. One of the notable contributions of microorganism in genetic engineering is to manipulate plants for the development of genetically modified plants. Recently, several microbes have been identified which are involved in the genome editing studies in alteration of plant genome for useful traits. Therefore, effective utilization of microbial biotechnology helpful in promoting sustainable agriculture development that accomplishes with safe environment, which in turn manifests positively on human health.

Labor Market Returns to School Quality in China

description: This dissertation carries out research dedicated to explore the impact of school quality on students' subsequent labor market earnings in China. Three distinctive datasets involving both urban and rural areas of China are used in the dissertation to investigate this issue: the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), and the Chinese Household and Income Project (CHIP). The paper's main empirical model follows Card and Krueger's two-step framework for modeling the impact of school quality on the labor market. In the first step, estimates of the rates of return to schooling are obtained for various provinces and cohorts in China, including 26 provinces (for which data is available) and four birth cohorts (namely 1946-1955, 1956-1965, 1966-1975, and 1976-1985). The second stage then uses these estimated rates of return to schooling as dependent variable, with two of the explanatory variables in the equation being variables that measure the level of school quality within each province back in time when the workers were of school-age, depending on the cohort to which they belong. The two measures of school quality utilized in the analysis are pupil/teacher ratio and expenditure per pupil. The results of the econometric analysis show great variation in rates of return to schooling among provinces and cohorts in China. Furthermore, the overall results show that, while the impact of pupil/teacher ratios on rates of return to schooling is statistically insignificant, the results are positive and statistically significant for expenditure per pupil.  The sign and statistical significance of the school quality effects on rates of return to schooling are not different for men and women. However, the magnitude of the impact of increased expenditure per pupil on the rate of return to schooling for women is much higher than for men, even after correcting for selection bias. This dissertation also carries out a reduced-form analysis that examines the effects of school quality directly on labor market earnings, the results of which confirm that increases in school quality raise the average earnings of students.

description: We consider Einstein Born-Infeld theory with a null fluid in Kerr-Schild Geometry. We find accelerated charge solutions of this theory. Our solutions reduce to the Plebanski solution when the acceleration vanishes and to the Bonnor-Vaidya solution as the Born-Infeld parameter b goes to infinity. We also give the explicit form of the energy flux formula due to the acceleration of the charged sources.

description: We prove that the space of persistence diagrams on $n$ points (with the bottleneck or a Wasserstein distance) coarsely embeds into Hilbert space by showing it is of asymptotic dimension $2n$. Such an embedding enables utilisation of Hilbert space techniques on the space of persistence diagrams. We also prove that when the number of points is not bounded, the corresponding spaces of persistence diagrams do not have finite asymptotic dimension. Furthermore, in the case of the bottleneck distance, the corresponding space does not coarsely embed into Hilbert space.

description: In this paper, we present a unified gas-kinetic wave-particle (UGKWP) method on unstructured mesh for multiscale simulation of continuum and rarefied flow. Inheriting from the multicale transport in the unified gas-kinetic scheme (UGKS), the integral solution of kinetic model equation is employed in the construction of UGKWP method to model the flow physics in the cell size and time step scales. A novel wave-particle adaptive formulation is introduced in the UGKWP method to describe the flow dynamics in each control volume. The local gas evolution is constructed through the dynamical interaction of the deterministic hydrodynamic wave and the stochastic kinetic particle. Within the resolution of cell size and time step, the decomposition, interaction, and evolution of the hydrodynamic wave and the kinetic particle depend on the ratio of the time step to the local particle collision time. In the rarefied flow regime, the flow physics is mainly recovered by the discrete particles and the UGKWP method performs as a stochastic particle method. In the continuum flow regime, the flow behavior is solely followed by macroscopic variable evolution and the UGKWP method becomes a gas-kinetic hydrodynamic flow solver for the viscous and heat-conducting Navier--Stokes solutions. In different flow regimes, many numerical test cases are computed to validate the UGKWP method on unstructured mesh. The UGKWP method can get the same UGKS solutions in all Knudsen regimes without the requirement of the time step and mesh size being less than than the particle collision time and mean free path. With an automatic wave-particle decomposition, the UGKWP method becomes very efficient. For example, at Mach number 30 and Knudsen number 0.1, in comparison with UGKS several-order-of-magnitude reductions in computational cost and memory requirement have been achieved by UGKWP.
Engineering approach to mine reclamation with biosolids
Creators: name: Renken, Karin
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Biosolids (treated municipal sewage sludge) used as a soil amendment has been demonstrated to help establish and sustain vegetation on mine tailings and waste rock dumps in B.C. and internationally. This paper outlines an engineering approach to calculate biosolids application rates and suggests monitoring guidelines for operational scale biosolids applications. In addition, a list of general best management practices is presented. Key parameters for biosolids use are related to the site's hydrology, hydrogeology, soil properties, in-situ vegetation, and current and projected wildlife population. The nutrient sensitivity of surrounding waterheds is another key parameter. Biosolids is typically applied at either a fertilizer or a reclamation application rate. Biosolids is applied to vegetated, but nutrient deficient, areas at fertilizer application rates. Biosolids is applied to unvegetated, and organic matter and nutrient deficient areas at reclamation application rates. Application rate calculations are primarily based on the organic matter and nitrogen contents and to a lesser degree on trace element concentrations in the biosolids and the soil to be amended. It is proposed, but not discussed, to base estimations in application rate calculations on the biodegradable C:N ratio instead of the conventionally used Total C:Total N ratio. Algorithms for the determination of fertilizer and reclamation application rates are provided.

description: We show how to treat the constraints and reality conditions in the $SO(3)$-ADM (Ashtekar) formulation of general relativity, for the case of a vacuum spacetime with a cosmological constant. We clarify the difference between the reality conditions on the metric and on the triad. Assuming the triad reality condition, we find a new variable, allowing us to solve the gauge constraint equations and the reality conditions simultaneously.
