description: In 1976, Gorini, Kossakowski, Sudarshan and Lindblad independently discovered a general form of master equations for an open quantum Markovian dynamics. In honor of all the authors, the equation is nowadays called the GKLS master equation. In this paper, we show universal constraints on the relaxation times valid for any d-level GKLS master equations, which is a generalization of the well-known constraints for 2-level systems. Specifically, we show that any relaxation rate, the inverse-relaxation time, is not greater than half of the sum of all relaxation rates. Since the relaxation times are measurable in experiments, our constraints provide a direct experimental test for the validity of the GKLS master equations, and hence for the conditions of the complete positivity and Markovianity.

description: In various scenarios, a single phase of modelling and solving is either not sufficient or not feasible to solve the problem at hand. A standard approach to solving AI planning problems, for example, is to incrementally extend the planning horizon and solve the problem of trying to find a plan of a particular length. Indeed, any optimization problem can be solved as a sequence of decision problems in which the objective value is incrementally updated. Another example is constraint dominance programming (CDP), in which search is organized into a sequence of levels. The contribution of this work is to enable a native interaction between SAT solvers and the automated modelling system Savile Row to support efficient incremental modelling and solving. This allows adding new decision variables, posting new constraints and removing existing constraints (via assumptions) between incremental steps. Two additional benefits of the native coupling of modelling and solving are the ability to retain learned information between SAT solver calls and to enable SAT assumptions, further improving flexibility and efficiency. Experiments on one optimisation problem and five pattern mining tasks demonstrate that the native interaction between the modelling system and SAT solver consistently improves performance significantly.
Observable geometric phase induced by a cyclically evolving dissipative process

description: In a prevous paper (Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 150403 (2006)) we have proposed a new way to generate an observable geometric phase on a quantum system by means of a completely incoherent phenomenon. The basic idea was to force the ground state of the system to evolve ciclically by "adiabatically" manipulating the environment with which it interacts. The specific scheme we have previously analyzed, consisting of a multilevel atom interacting with a broad-band squeezed vacuum bosonic bath whose squeezing parameters are smoothly changed in time along a closed loop, is here solved in a more direct way. This new solution emphasizes how the geometric phase on the ground state of the system is indeed due to a purely incoherent dynamics

description: Poor standard of living has remained a source of concern in Nigeria despite enormous resources available to the nation. Concerted efforts have been made through intensive power sector reforms and huge budgetary allocations to the sector, yet the performance of the power sector towards improving the standard of living of the Nigerian households has remained a source of doubt. This study investigated the impact of household electricity consumption on the standard of living in Nigeria over the period 1981 – 2018. The study employed the ARDL bound cointegration test to determine the existence of a longrun relation between the standard of living and the chosen explanatory variables, while the Pairwise Granger was used to establish the direction of causality between the household electricity consumption and standard of living. The results show that household electricity consumption is a significant contributor to an improved standard of living in Nigeria and that a feedback causality flows between the household electricity consumption and standard of living in Nigeria. Based on these findings, the study recommends among other things that the government should improve the level of electricity supply especially for the residential consumption by investing more on infrastructural development via the installation of more transformers that will facilitate electricity distribution across the country.

description: We present 3D hydrodynamic simulations aimed at studying the dynamical and chemical evolution of the interstellar medium in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. This evolution is driven by the explosions of Type II and Type Ia supernovae, whose different contribution is explicitly taken into account in our models. We compare our results with avaiable properties of the Draco galaxy. Despite the huge amount of energy released by SNe explosions, in our model the galaxy is able to retain most of the gas allowing a long period ($> 3$ Gyr) of star formation, consistent with the star formation history derived by observations. The stellar [Fe/H] distribution found in our model matches very well the observed one. The chemical properties of the stars derive from the different temporal evolution between Type Ia and Type II supernova rate, and from the different mixing of the metals produced by the two types of supernovae. We reproduce successfully the observed [O/Fe]-[Fe/H] diagram.

description: Over the last years a lot of empirical research and studies have tried to describe the interaction of the fuctor of the gender with the reality of the school in the greek educational system. These studies have beem conducted in the light of feminist view point and of equality of the two sexes. As far as the executive hierarchy is concerned the deduction that comes out is that female teachers are not equally represented even though they out number. This present post graduate work in the eyes of feminist prospective tries to explore the approaches of the teachers of the secondary education about issues of education administration. It also tries to examine the phenomenon of women teachers being under represented in the administration field.

First-order spatial coherence of excitons in planar nanostructures: a k-filtering effect

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We propose and analyze a k-filtering effect which gives rise to the drastic difference between the actual spatial coherence length of quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) excitons or microcavity (MC) polaritons in planar nanostructures and that inferred from far-field optical measurements. The effect originates from the conservation of in-plane wavevector k in the optical decay of the particles in outgoing bulk photons. The k-filtering effect explains the large coherence lengths recently observed for indirect excitons in coupled quantum wells (QWs), but is less pronounced for MC polaritons at low temperatures, T<10K.
Molecular genetic characterization of pediatric malignant fibrous histiocytoma
Creators: name: Palmer, Jessica Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Cytogenetic and molecular genetic studies were performed on a pleiomorphic sarcoma diagnosed as malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), removed from the heart of a 15 year old girl. MFH is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults, however, it is extremely rare in the pediatric population. Accurate pathologic classification of MFH is difficult because these primitive sarcomas lack recognizeable features of differentiation using conventional pathological techniques. Recently, analysis of chromosomal alterations in human malignancies has revealed that recurring genetic changes are often closely associated with specific subtypes of tumours, and can be useful for diagnostic and prognostic classification. To date, there are no cytogenetic alterations considered to be diagnostic for MFH. Cytogenetic analysis of the present case revealed a complex karyotype with a near-tetraploid chromosome complement and with several alterations previously reported to occur non-randomly in adult MFH, including abnormalities of chromosomal band 19pl3. Since 19pl3 aberrations are relatively common in MFH and result in 19p+ derivative chromosomes that are associated with a high relapse rate, we chose to further characterize chromosome 19 abnormalities in MFH . To investigate whether there is a chromosomal deletion in the derivative 19 chromosomes, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies were performed by microsatellite analysis, revealing no allelic loss (i.e. no gross deletions). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to more accurately define the chromosome 19 aberrations. Using a chromosome 19 painting probe, three derivative 19 chromosomes and two normal 19 chromosomes were identified in this MFH. Dual-coloured FISH with 19q and 19p specific probes indicated that two of the extra pieces of chromosome 19 originated from 19q, and the other from 19p. Furthermore, using chromosome 4 and 19 painting probes, two t(4;19) translocation derivatives were identified, which we believe represent the two 19q derivatives. Moreover, the tumor demonstrated homogeneously staining regions (HSRs) and double minutes (dmins) suggestive of gene amplification. Genes localized to chromosomal bands 12ql3-14, including the putative proto-oncogenes MDM2, CDK4, SAS, CHOP, and GLI, are frequently amplified and overexpressed in adult MFH. We therefore screened the present case for amplification of these genes. Southern and Northern blot analysis demonstrated co-amplification of MDM2, CDK4, SAS, and CHOP. Not only do the results in this study provide cytogenetic and molecular genetic evidence that pediatric and adult MFH are histogenetically related entities, but it may also provide valuable information regarding the identification of potential tumour markers in pediatric and adult MFH.

description: The subject of my thesis is : "The forms of religiosity in the European Union in the 1900's". My research paper consists of contents, introduction, seven(7) main chapters and conclusions. Geografically and chronologically, it focuses on the European Union of the '90s. Talking about the religious situation that has been formed in the E.U., I examine social parameters, such as securalization, age group and gender, since they have an effect upon the religiosity. In the following chapters, I refer to the meaning of religiosity and its relation to the Church. In the end, I emphasise the new and the negative forms of religiosity pointing out that religiosity is not restricted only in those forms of the Institutional Churches.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία φιλοδοξεί να παρουσιάσει τη χομπσιανή πολιτική φιλοσοφία, στη ρίζα της οποίας ο Hobbes τοποθετεί το "κοινωνικό συμβόλαιο". Η εργασία θα υποστηρίξει ότι ο Hobbes, ξεκινώντας από μια μηχανιστική προσέγγιση της ανθρώπινης φύσης, κατέληξε στο συμπέρασμα ότι ο άνθρωπος, καθώς είναι έρμαιο των παθών του, οδηγείται στον πόλεμο. Ο σκοπός της πολιτικής θεωρίας του Hobbes ήταν να πείσει του συμπατριώτες του στην Αγγλία, για την αναγκαιότητα εγκαθίδρυσης ενός ισχυρού κυρίαρχου, που θα τους προστάτευε από τον εμφύλιο πόλεμο και θα τους οδηγούσε στην ειρήνη μέσω ενός κοινωνικού συμβολαίου. Για να οδηγηθεί, λοιπόν, στο συμπέρασμά του, στην πολιτική κοινωνία και στην ανάγκη για κυρίαρχο, ο Hobbes τοποθέτησε τον άνθρωπο σε μια υποτιθέμενη φυσική κατάσταση, στην οποία η λογική του ανθρώπου είχε ως μόνο σκοπό να υπηρετεί τα πάθη του. Κάθε πράξη του ανθρώπου για αυτοσυντήρηση είναι δίκαιη. Το συμβόλαιο είναι η μόνη συνθήκη δυνατότητα της διανθρώπινης επικοινωνίας.
description: This project trys to present Hobbes' political philosophy, in which Hobbes puts the social contract. He starts from a mechanical approach of human nature and ends with the fact that because human is driven by his passion, people fight with each other. The purpose of his political theory was to persuade his fellow country man in England that the social contract was obliged in order to save people from civil war and to lead them in peace. He puts people in a supposing natural condition in which human reason has only a purpose, to serve his passions and all that, in order to lead his theory to political community and in the neccessity of a leader. There is no justice in this natural condition and every effort of people for self preservation is righteous. the contract is the only way for people to communicate peacefully with each other.

description: The present project attempts to trace the relation of E. Ch. Gonataw work, poetic and prosaic to fantasy literature, a literary genre that thrived in the 19th century. By examining the critical reception of Gonata's work from 1945 to date, we can deduce the basic lines along which critics world. Irrespective of their evaluation criticism, we locate at least three basic lines along which most of their remains more : the surrealistic origins of his work, his work's genre classification perplexity and finally, its integration to the fantasy literary genre. Through readings of Gonatas's most important works, the project attempts to detect the relations and influences of his work in the great tradition of fantasy literature.
Reactivation of TK-deficient Herpes simplex virus and homopolymer mutational hot spots
Creators: name: Sasadeusz, Joseph John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The majority of herpes simplex virus (HSV) isolates resistant to acyclovir (ACV) have a deficiency of thymidine kinase (TD[sup D]). Such mutants are able to establish latency in animal models but are unable to reactivate which has contributed to the clinical dogma that, following effective eradication, such outbreaks are inevitably followed by ACV-susceptible (ACV[sup S]) reactivations. In addition, genotypic information regarding mutations conferring the ACV-resistant (ACV[sup R]) phenotype onto HSV is very limited. HSV type 2 strains 1737 and 89-063, ACV[sup R] and uniformly TD[sup D] by all conventional assays, clinically reactivated i n AIDS patients in the absence of antiviral drug pressure. Investigation of their neurovirulence and latency characteristics in mouse models, however, yielded neurovirulent TK-wild type (TK[sup WT]) and TK-low producer (TK[sup LP]) populations. Two further ACV[sup R] reactivated isolates (89-353 and 90-150) contained mixed TK[sup WT]/TD[sup D] populations by plaque autoradiography while one (2370) likely exhibited a TK-altered phenotype. Mutations conferring the ACV[sup R] phenotype were assessed by plaque purification, amplification of the tk gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cycle sequencing. Three of 8 plaque isolates, 1737-14, 90-150-3 and 89-650-5 contained a guanosine insertion within a stretch of 7 guanosines. Correlation by immunoprecipitation and Western blot confirmed the predicted truncated 28 kd protein. Two further isolates, 89-063-1 and 89-353-1, produced truncated proteins 32 and 28 kd in size respectively while one isolate, 90-110-4, produced no detectable product. Reactivation is dependent on TK activity but may occur with "Ultralow" levels and may dissociate from the ACV[sup R] phenotype. The likely mechanism is in vivo complementation between heterogeneous TK populations containing TD[sup D] or TK[sup LP] virus which may be detectable by conventional means or masked. Eradication of TD[sup D] outbreaks does not ensure subsequent reactivations to be ACV[sup S] and alternating antivirals may be required for effective therapy. Mutations in the tk gene occur preferentially at homopolymer hot spots and the majority of mutants produce truncated products. Such homopolymer stretches may facilitate reactivation by high reversion frequencies or ribosomal frameshifting and may offer novel targets for detection and therapy of ACV[sup R] HSV isolates.

description: We consider the motion of many confined billiard balls in interaction and discuss their transport and chaotic properties. In spite of the absence of mass transport, due to confinement, energy transport can take place through binary collisions between neighbouring particles. We explore the conditions under which relaxation to local equilibrium occurs on time scales much shorter than that of binary collisions, which characterize the transport of energy, and subsequent relaxation to local thermal equilibrium. Starting from the pseudo-Liouville equation for the time evolution of phase-space distributions, we derive a master equation which governs the energy exchange between the system constituents. We thus obtain analytical results relating the transport coefficient of thermal conductivity to the frequency of collision events and compute these quantities. We also provide estimates of the Lyapunov exponents and Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy under the assumption of scale separation. The validity of our results is confirmed by extensive numerical studies.

The given, the taken and the inviolable. A pragmatist reconstruction of an inhereted «myth»
Creators: name: Colapietro, Vincent
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: Relazione presentata al Seminario di Filosofia Teoretica nella primavera 2015.

Given the topic of the given, it would be all too easy to become entangled in highly technical disputes about Wilfrid Sellars, John McDowell, and other authors regarding how to interpret and, then, assess, their critiques of  “myth of the given.” Though I am dubious whether we could within the limits of this articlemove toward resolving any of these questions, such an engagement might nonetheless prove profitable. It would also likely prove to be invigorating, since wrestling with technical issues in a systematic manner carries a unique form of intellectual enjoyment for the properly trained philosopher. Even so, that is not my intention today. Rather my aim is simply to sketch, mostly in broad bold strokes, though to some extent also in minute, careful ones, what I take to be a pragmatist approach to this multifaceted controversy. In my judgment, much still depends upon coming to a deeper appreciation of one of the central lessons of the pragmatist movement: the recurrent need to articulate a more truly empirical understanding of human experience. Above all else, then, my reflections aim at deepening the contemporary appreciation of the pragmatist take on human experience.

description: A systematic study of the impact of annealing on the electronic properties of single InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) is presented. We are able to record single QD cathodoluminescence spectra and trace the evolution of one and the same QD over several steps of annealing. A systematic reduction of the excitonic fine-structure splitting is reported. In addition the binding energies of different excitonic complexes change dramatically. The results are interpreted in terms of a change of electron and hole wavefunction shape and mutual position.

description: We propose a method for learning temporal data using a parametrized quantum circuit. We use the circuit that has a similar structure as the recurrent neural network which is one of the standard approaches employed for this type of machine learning task. Some of the qubits in the circuit are utilized for memorizing past data, while others are measured and initialized at each time step for obtaining predictions and encoding a new input datum. The proposed approach utilizes the tensor product structure to get nonlinearity with respect to the inputs. Fully controllable, ensemble quantum systems such as an NMR quantum computer is a suitable choice of an experimental platform for this proposal. We demonstrate its capability with Simple numerical simulations, in which we test the proposed method for the task of predicting cosine and triangular waves and quantum spin dynamics. Finally, we analyze the dependency of its performance on the interaction strength among the qubits in numerical simulation and find that there is an appropriate range of the strength. This work provides a way to exploit complex quantum dynamics for learning temporal data.

Effects of elastic heterogeneity and anisotropy on the morphology of self-assembled epitaxial quantum dots

description: Epitaxial self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs) are of both technological and fundamental interest, but their reliable manufacture still presents a technical challenge. To better understand the formation, morphology and ordering of epitaxial self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs), it is essential to have an accurate model that can aid further experiments and predict the trends in SAQD formation. SAQDs form because of the destabilizing effect of elastic mismatch strain, but most analytic models and some numerical models of SAQD formation either assume an elastically homogeneous anisotropic film-substrate system or assume an elastically heterogeneous isotropic system. In this work, we perform the full film-substrate elastic calculation. Then we incorporate the elasticity calculation into a stochastic linear growth model. We find that using homogeneous elasticity can cause errors in the elastic energy density as large as 26%, and for typical modeling parameters lead to errors of about 11% in the estimated value of average dot spacing. We also quantify the effect of elastic heterogeneity on the order estimates of SAQDs and confirm previous finding on the possibility of order enhancement by growing a film near the critical film height.

title: Bordering humanness, securing whiteness: race, colonialism, and violence at the European borders
Creators: name: Sepulveda Coelho Brito Filho, Tarsis Daylan
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2023

description: This doctoral thesis is a major study of the historical and contemporary intimacies between borders, whiteness, and racial violence in the Global North, especially in Europe. Engaging with Black Studies and Post/decolonial literature, the monograph unearths the multiple ways in which Europe’s contemporary apparatus of border security reactivates and readapts colonial techniques and rationales of repression and policing deployed at colonies and settler colonies in order to police a (post)colonial and racial order deeply embedded in white supremacy. The thesis is focused on Europe’s ‘migrant crisis’, which is here seen as a moment of ‘white anxiety’ over whiteness’ ‘settler’ status in Europe. Its main argument is that Europe’s intensification of border violence over the past decades against Global South migrants can be seen as a process of reaffirmation of whiteness’ settler position in Europe, as the ‘rightful’ possessor of Europe’s land, resources, and identity. As in previous moments of Europe’s colonial past, this is undertaken through what I term here ‘racial violence’, a mode of violence that operates by policing the racial borders of ‘whiteness’ and reducing its target to a non- or less-than-human position. Employing what I call here a ‘practice-oriented’ genealogy, the thesis identifies and investigates three central modes of racial violence at play at Europe’s border apparatus of security: (dis)possession, objectification, and animalisation, and connects them to broader and historical dynamics within colonialism, racial capitalism, and white supremacy. Empirically, the thesis offers an analysis of a diverse set of spaces and policies in Europe where we can see the operation of racial violence as a form of bordering. Among the practices of violence analysed by the thesis are Calais’ zero-anchor point policy, maritime pushbacks in the Mediterranean, and the weaponisation of police dogs against migrants in the Balkans.

The problem of the adequacy of translation as conceptualized by Paul Ricœur
Creators: name: Machulskaya, Olga
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: The problems of the philosophy of language, of the explanation and understanding, of the translation andinterpretation of texts,stand at the forefront ofthe philosophical works of the great theoretician from the field of phenomenological hermeneutics Paul Ricœur. The philosopher takes the opportunity to present his viewpoint on these issues in the book On Translation, which is precisely concerned with the problems recounted above. Thevolume consists of three essays written in the 1990s: «Translation as Challenge and Source of Happiness», «The Paradigm of Translation», «A Passage: Translating the Untranslatable». The authorhimself is experienced in translation, having produced a French version of the principal work of E. Husserl Ideas, Volume 1 while imprisoned in Germany during World War II. Unlike a simplereproduction of a text in a different language, for Ricœur translation is a mission topromotea cultural dialogue,a mission that demandsfrom the translator readiness to «immerse into the foreign language»and an aptitude for «linguistic sensitivity».

description: This is a progress report on 2+1 flavor simulation with the FP action on a lattice with spatial size L=1.2fm. Since m_{ud} is quite small in our simulation we are in the delta regime for the two light flavors where the low lying excitations are described by a quantum mechanical rotator. From here we extract the low energy constant F. We also measure the AWI mass and present results on numerical issues like low-mode averaging and autocorrelation times.
