The simple-cubic structure of elemental Polonium and its relation to combined charge and orbital order in other elemental chalcogens

description: Polonium is the only element to crystallise into a simple cubic structure at ambient conditions. Moreover, at high temperatures it undergoes a structural phase transition into a less symmetric trigonal configuration. It has long been suspected that the strong spin-orbit coupling in Polonium is involved in both peculiarities, but the precise mechanism by which it operates remains controversial. Here, we introduce a single microscopic model capable of capturing the atomic structure of all chalcogen crystals: Selenium, Tellurium, and Polonium. We show that the strong spin-orbit coupling in Polonium suppresses the trigonal charge and orbital ordered state known to be the ground state configuration of Selenium and Tellurium, and allows the simple cubic state to prevail instead. We also confirm a recent suggestion based on ab initio calculations that a small increase in the lattice constant may effectively decrease the role of spin-orbit coupling, leading to a re-emergence of the trigonal orbital ordered state at high temperatures. We conclude that Polonium is a unique element, in which spins, orbitals, electronic charges, and lattice deformations all cooperate and collectively cause the emergence of the only elemental crystal structure with the simplest possible, cubic, lattice.

From Equal Rights to Far-Right: A study of the role of women in the political and social legitimization of far-right movements.
Creators: name: Chiquette, Sophie
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2022

description: During the last 10 years there has been a disturbing global political trend. Indeed, far-right movements have been on the rise in both Europe and the United States, and they have already had documented effects on the decline of Western liberal democracies. Their draconian views on race and gender, along with their penchant for authoritarianism are driving factors in a need to better understand how these movements rise in popularity despite their polarizing and extreme views. While there exists a vast collection of literature on the topic, one element remains under studied and will be the subject of this paper. The question of gender remains a guiding principle in the ideology of the far-right. However, those who study these movements often disregard the role women play in the popularization of these political parties. This paper seeks to close that gap by outlining what role women play in the social and political legitimization of far-right movements. This is illustrated using two case studies: The Jobbik party in Hungary and the Republican Party in the United States. Despite the existing gender gap among the supporters of the far-right, the number of female supporters continues to rise. Women are clearly seeing a benefit to adhering to and participating in this ideology. Understanding this phenomenon is essential to understanding the movements and ways to counter them.

Migrating for the good? A comparative assessment of educational achievements of Bolivian-origin youths in Argentina, Bolivians in Bolivia, and Argentine natives
Creators: name: Zuccotti, Carolina V.
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Studies on migrant integration has long dominated the agenda of sociologists and economists around the world. But as one becomes acquainted with such literature, it is easy to see that is dominated by two types of approaches. First, there is a predominance of studies comparing how migrants and their children compare to natives in destination countries. Second, most research on migrant integration is centred on South-North moves. Using large-scale census microdata (2001-2012), this study addresses both concerns by studying educational outcomes and patterns of educational reproduction among the children of Bolivian migrants in Argentina, and how these compare to those of native Argentine children and those of non-migrants at origin. Findings show that while, on average, Bolivian-origin children in Argentina get higher educational outcomes than Argentine natives, the opposite is observed when compared to non-migrants in Bolivia. These results are further examined in relation to parental education and year.

description: We provide a general classification of template operators, up to next-to-leading order, that appear in chiral perturbation theories based on the two flavour patterns of spontaneous symmetry breaking SU($N_F$)/Sp($N_F$) and SU($N_F$)/SO($N_F$). All possible explicit-breaking sources parametrised by spurions transforming in the fundamental and in the two-index representations of the flavour symmetry are included. While our general framework can be applied to any model of strong dynamics, we specialise to composite-Higgs models, where the main explicit breaking sources are a current mass, the gauging of flavour symmetries, and the Yukawa couplings (for the top). For the top, we consider both bilinear couplings and linear ones a la partial compositeness. Our templates provide a basis for lattice calculations in specific models. As a special example, we consider the SU(4)/Sp(4)$\cong$ SO(6)/SO(5) pattern which corresponds to the minimal fundamental composite-Higgs model. We further revisit issues related to the misalignment of the vacuum. In particular, we shed light on the physical properties of the singlet $η$, showing that it cannot develop a vacuum expectation value without explicit CP violation in the underlying theory.

description: Software specification, modeling, and prototyping activities are often performed at different stages in a software development project by individuals who use different specialized notations. The need to manually interpret and transform information passed between stages can significantly decrease productivity and can serve as a potential source of error. Durra is a non-procedural language designed to support the development of distributed applications consisting of multiple, concurrent, large-grained tasks executing in a heterogeneous network. Durra provides a framework through which one can specify the structure of an application in conjunction with its behavior, timing, and implementation dependencies. These specifications may be validated by passing behavioral and timing information associated with each Durra task description to a run-time interpreter. Similarly, software prototypes may be constructed by directing this information to a suitable source code generator. We have already developed an interpreter and source code translator for a language based on simple timing expressions. We are presently constructing a source code generator for a more complex language defined by SMARTS (the Specification Methodology for ADAptive Real-Time systems developed by Hughes Aircraft Company).

Does climate aid reduce perceived climate risks to foreign direct investors?

description: Studies show that climate risks are deterring multinational companies (MNCs) from making foreign investments in developing countries. This is worrisome, as foreign direct investment (FDI) is one of the key ingredients for generating economic growth and development in low- and middle-income nations. Investment avoidance is largely driven by concerns that adaptation costs will be left to MNCs. Therefore, they may not withhold investments when host states absorb those costs for them. Yet many developing countries lack the resources to do so. The international community is attempting to bridge this gap through the provision of climate aid. Aid inflows may signal to MNCs that a potential host state has the resources to address key climate risks, leading them to follow through on investments. This paper tests this argument by investigating whether climate aid reduces MNCs’ anxieties about investing in climate-vulnerable countries. Empirical results suggest that climate risks deter MNCs from investing in countries that receive low levels of climate aid. However, this effect vanishes as climate aid inflows rise. These findings indicate that foreign aid donors can play a productive role in ensuring ongoing inflows of FDI to developing countries, even in the presence of climate risks.

description: Durra is a language designed to support the development of distributed programming applications consisting of concurrent, large-grained processes devoted to specific pieces of the application. During execution time the application processes run on possibly separate processors, and communicate with each other by sending messages of different types across communication links. The application developer is responsible for prescribing a way to manage all of these resources, called a task-level application description. It describes the processes to be executed, the assignments of processes to processors, and the communication channels required to transmit messages data between processes. Durra is a task-level description language, a notation in which to write these application descriptions. This document is a revised version of the original reference manual. It describes the syntax and semantics of the language and incorporates all the language changes introduced as a result of our experiences writing application descriptions in Durra. A companion document, Durra: A Task-Level Description Language User's Manual, describes how to use the compiler and support tools.

description: Gravitational wave observations of GW170817 placed bounds on the tidal deformabilities of compact stars allowing one to probe equations of state for matter at supranuclear densities. Here we design new parametrizations for hybrid hadron-quark equations of state, that give rise to low-mass twin stars, and test them against GW170817. We find that GW170817 is consistent with the coalescence of a binary hybrid star--neutron star. We also test and find that the I-Love-Q relations for hybrid stars in the third family agree with those for purely hadronic and quark stars within $\sim 3\%$ for both slowly and rapidly rotating configurations, implying that these relations can be used to perform equation-of-state independent tests of general relativity and to break degeneracies in gravitational waveforms for hybrid stars in the third family as well.

description: This paper presents a computational framework to simulate the mechanical behavior of fibrous biomaterials with randomly distributed fiber networks. A random walk algorithm is implemented to generate the synthetic fiber network in 2D used in simulations. The embedded fiber approach is then adopted to model the fibers as embedded truss elements in the ground matrix, which is essentially equivalent to the affine fiber kinematics. The fiber-matrix interaction is partially considered in the sense that the two material components deform together, but no relative movement is considered. A variational approach is carried out to derive the element residual and stiffness matrices for finite element method (FEM), in which material and geometric nonlinearities are both included. Using a data structure proposed to record the network geometric information, the fiber network is directly incorporated into the FEM simulation without significantly increasing the computational cost. A mesh sensitivity analysis is conducted to show the influence of mesh size on various simulation results. The proposed method can be easily combined with Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to include the influence of the stochastic nature of the network and capture the material behavior in an average sense. The computational framework proposed in this work goes midway between homogenizing the fiber network into the surrounding matrix and accounting for the fully coupled fiber-matrix interaction at the segment length scale, and can be used to study the connection between the microscopic structure and the macro-mechanical behavior of fibrous biomaterials with a reasonable computational cost.

description: This lighting talk explores some of the challenges and benefits that we encountered during the first year of establishing an Open Education Community of Practice (CoP) at the University of Ottawa. The creation of an Open Education CoP builds on the recommendations from a cross-campus working group on open and affordable learning materials. The group found that while the campus had pockets of innovation, the larger university community lacked a cohesive vision for the use, creation, and dissemination of OER. Meant to be a vehicle for awareness building, information sharing, and support, the CoP is also meant to lay the foundation for a culture of open pedagogy. After careful planning, the Open Education CoP met for the first time in October 2021. It has been an enriching experience with some notable benefits, including participation from students and the university press, and hearing from OER champions on campus and elsewhere. The CoP also faced its share of technical, linguistic and strategic challenges, ranging from competing priorities and content hosting to conducting activities in two languages and the limits of "openness".

description: We present a numerical study of a multichannel electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer, based on magnetically-driven non-interacting edge states. The electron path is defined by a full-scale potential landscape on the two-dimensional electron gas at filling factor two, assuming initially only the first Landau level as filled. We tailor the two beam splitters with 50% interchannel mixing and measure Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in the transmission probability of the second channel. We perform time-dependent simulations by solving the electron Schroedinger equation through a parallel implementation of the split-step Fourier method and we describe the charge-carrier wave function as a Gaussian wave packet of edge states. We finally develop a simplified theoretical model to explain the features observed in the transmission probability and propose possible strategies to optimize gate performances.

Après le rideau de fer : le paradoxe du cinéma postcommuniste bulgare
Creators: name: Pellerin Petrova, Anna
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Trente ans après la chute du rideau de fer, le paysage cinématographique bulgare a subi de changements majeurs. Malgré la similitude des expériences du Bloc de l’Est, sa trajectoire diffère de celle d’autres pays ex-communistes. Ce mémoire examine la particularité du cas du cinéma postcommuniste bulgare. L’analyse s’articule autour de deux concepts des études culturelles et de la sociologie : la nostalgie postcommuniste ainsi que le balkanisme. Le premier chapitre du mémoire fait un tour d’horizon des recherches menées sur le sujet, précise l’approche théorique et les concepts, et introduit le cinéma bulgare. Le second chapitre étudie les représentations du communisme dans les œuvres analysées. Cette observation du cinéma bulgare se fait en deux temps : d’abord, les représentations dites « négatives », où le communisme est illustré comme un régime oppressif ; puis, les représentations plus modérées, alors que l’ire fait place à une désillusion de la situation d’aujourd’hui. Le troisième et dernier chapitre de ce mémoire se penche sur le paradoxe de l’identité bulgare. Il examine l’ambiguïté identitaire causée par le complexe d’infériorité bulgare telle que représentée dans les films et par un retour au nationalisme dans le cinéma.

description: The overall intention of this report is to understand our uOttawa Library staff readiness to provide RDM services. Shifting Horizon II was the fourth in a series of annual uOttawa Library events dedicated to research data management (RDM) awareness-raising and training. Conclusions regarding RDM readiness are derived from information gathered during the registration process as well as results from a post event evaluation survey for the event. This year focused on institutional capacity building by upskilling Librarians, research facilitators, faculty IT representatives and research administrators and support staff. This report has shown that the event catalyzed a nascent community of practice at uOttawa, which also reaches out to include those senior-level administrators from funding agencies, Library, OVPR and Central IT who were in attendance. Preliminary recommendations are made for future RDM training needs and opportunities for Librarians, with some consideration to the needs of other research support staff working in RDM-related services and departments beyond the Library.

description: Sport constitutes an important setting in which to study whiteness given ongoing issues related to power, privilege, and oppression. The purpose of the study was to examine white privilege in Canadian high school sport by investigating white coaches’ perspectives on social justice issues. A total of 463 high school coaches who self-identified as white completed an online survey. Results showed how coaches who had a greater awareness of white privilege in society had more favourable attitudes toward social justice, higher importance attributed to climate change issues, greater awareness of prejudicial attitudes against the LGBT community, and a higher propensity to engage in antiracist behaviours. Moderating effects for gender identity were also found. Moving forward, white privilege should continue to be studied in coaching to better understand how it is entangled with social justice.

description: This paper presents an ameliorated design of pvFPGA, which is a novel system design solution for virtualising an FPGA-based hardware accelerator by a virtual machine monitor (VMM). The accelerator design on the FPGA can be used for accelerating various applications, regardless of the application computation latencies. In the implementation, we adopt the Xen VMM to build a paravirtualised environment, and a Xilinx Virtex-6 as an FPGA accelerator. The data transferred between the x86 server and the FPGA accelerator through direct memory access (DMA), and a streaming pipeline technique is adopted to improve the efficiency of data transfer. Several solutions to solve streaming pipeline hazards are discussed in this paper. In addition, we propose a technique, hyper-requesting, which enables portions of two requests bidding to different accelerator applications to be processed on the FPGA accelerator simultaneously through DMA context switches, to achieve request level parallelism. The experimental results show that hyper-requesting reduces request turnaround time by up to 80%.

The inclusive branching fraction and CP-violating charge asymmetry are measured to be BF(B0 --> K+ pi^- pi0)=(35.7-1.5+2.6 +/-2.2)10^(-6), and A_CP=-0.030+0.045-0.051 +/-0.055 where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. We observe the decay B0 --> K^{*0}(892) pi^0 with the branching fraction BF(B0 --> K^{*0}(892) pi^0)=(3.6_{-0.8}^{+0.7} +/-0.4) 10^{-6}. This measurement differs from zero by 5.6 standard deviations (including the systematic uncertainties). The selected sample also contains B0 --> D^0bar pi^0 decays where D^0bar --> K+ pi-, and we measure BF(B0 --> D0bar pi^0)=(2.93 +/- 0.17 +/-0.18) 10^{-4}.

description: El presente trabajo de grado es realizado para obtener el título en Magister en Derecho del Estado con énfasis en Derecho Administrativo de la Universidad Externado de Colombia. Con este análisis se busca determinar si es posible o no atribuir responsabilidad extracontractual al Estado Colombiano como consecuencia de posibles casos de desplazamiento ambiental o climático ocurridos en el Archipiélago de San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina derivado del demoledor paso del huracán Lota en el mar caribe colombiano en noviembre de 2020. De igual forma, esta tesis pretende dilucidar las posibles medidas de reparación integral dirigidas a las víctimas de desplazamiento ambiental en el escenario en que se responsabilice al Estado por los daños ocurridos.
description: This present research has been undertaken in order to obtain a master’s degree in State Law with a focus on administrative law from the Externado University of Colombia. This analysis seeks to determine whether or not it is possible to attribute extracontractual responsibility to the Colombian state as a result of possible cases of environmental or climatic displacement that has occurred in the Archipelago of San Andres, Providencia, and Santa Catalina owing to the devastating Hurricane Lota in the Colombian Caribbean Sea in November 2020. In the same way, this thesis aims to clarify the possible measures of integral reparation directed to the victims of environmental displacement in the scenario in which the state is held responsible for damages incurred.

description: We provide a new criterion based on graph duality to predict whether the 3-state Potts antiferromagnet on a plane quadrangulation has a zero- or finite-temperature critical point, and its universality class. The former case occurs for quadrangulations of self-dual type, and the zero-temperature critical point has central charge $c=1$. The latter case occurs for quadrangulations of non-self-dual type, and the critical point belongs to the universality class of the 3-state Potts ferromagnet. We have tested this criterion against high-precision computations on four lattices of each type, with very good agreement. We have also found that the Wang-Swendsen-Kotecký algorithm has no critical slowing-down in the former case, and critical slowing-down in the latter.

description: The market for aesthetic medicine is constantly growing and, except “reconstructive” surgery that responds exclusively to the need to improve the appearance, it presents a number of legal, but also strictly ethical and professional questions. The aim of the authors is, through a literature review, to discuss whether it can still be possible to deal with an idea of aesthetic medicine extraneous to the concept of disease and, therefore, to re-evaluate the position of the aesthetic surgeon with its authoritative professional dignity.

description: The DoD often faces the challenge of migrating from legacy systems to new target systems. Such migration efforts represent a complex engineering problem. These efforts call for a migration plan to supplement the development plan. The migration plan addresses issues associated with phasing out legacy systems and moving to the new system. These issues include user interface compatibility, database compatibility, transition support, system interface compatibility, and training. By producing and implementing a migration plan, a development organization can help a user community make the transition in an orderly fashion. This note describes migration planning, identifies influencing factors, outlines a set of migration planning activities, and offers a set of guidelines for the migration planning process.

description: This paper was produced by the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in support of the Agile acquisition research agenda funded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense. This paper is part of a larger research study focused on understanding the implications of applying a rapid, incremental development approach, such as Agile, on the Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition process. An overarching goal of this research agenda is to identify areas of tension between Agile and existing processes and provide recommendations for improvement to those processes. In support of the overarching research agenda, several "point" papers are being developed on particular topic areas. The topic of this particular paper is the natural tension between rapid fielding and response to change (characterized as agility) and DoD information assurance policy. The authors gathered information for the paper primarily by conducting interviews with several DoD project managers and information assurance representatives. The interview findings are organized into a list of key challenges and recommendations. The paper also includes a five- to ten-year future outlook with respect to information assurance and agility in DoD. The opinions, findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed in this Technical Note are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the United States Department of Defense.
Bump and Sleep: How Sexual Intercouse Can Improve Sleep of Women with Insomnia

description: Background: Insomnia is characterized as trouble initiating or upholding sleep and can be categorized as a primary or secondary disorder. It affects up to one fifth of adults, mostly women, making it the most prevalent sleeping disorder in society. In the health landscape, this disorder can be an underlying cause for many other severe health issues. Currently, the medical community suggest changes in lifestyle, cognitive-behavioral treatments and pharmaceutical therapies. However, many of these interventions are proven to be insufficient. Our aim is to propose a lifestyle change that may give more significant results: by engaging in coitus before bedtime, there can be an improvement in the quality of sleep of insomniacs. Research Question: How can the effects of engaging in sexual intercourse prior to sleep be compared to leading therapies for treating women with stress-induced insomnia? Methodology: A structured literature review was conducted. The scientific articles were targeting by using pre-determined keywords in the following databases: PubMed and MEDLINE. Keywords include: sleep, insomnia, orgasm, oxytocin, cortisol, thyroid stimulating hormone, prolactin, sexual activity, blood pressure, stress. Articles were excluded if they were not published within the last 20 years and if they were not published in English. Results: A total of 12 articles were analyzed pertaining to the release of hormones associated with sexual intercourse, as well as blood pressure, and their role as precursors of sleep. The effects oxytocin, Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), prolactin, the inhibition of cortisol, and the effects of dopamine were reviewed. These studies were tested on both rodents and humans. Conclusion: Engaging in sexual intercourse prior to sleep can decrease stress, and can assist female insomniacs by helping to initiate and maintain sleep. These secondary factors make sexual intercourse a possible alternative or addition to other intervention strategies for insomnia. There is an urgent need to address this health disorder due to its widespread prevalence in society.

description: Analyzing weak microwave signals in the GHz regime is a challenging task if the signal level is very low and the photon energy widely undefined. A superconducting qubit can detect signals in the low photon regime, but due to its discrete level structure, it is only sensitive to photons of certain energies. With a multi-level quantum system (qudit) in contrast, the unknown signal frequency and amplitude can be deduced from the higher level AC Stark shift. The measurement accuracy is given by the signal amplitude, its detuning from the discrete qudit energy level structure and the anharmonicity. We demonstrate an energy sensitivity in the order of $10^{-3}$ with a measurement range of more than $1\,\mathrm{GHz}$. Here, using a transmon qubit, we experimentally observe shifts in the transition frequencies involving up to three excited levels. These shifts are in good agreement with an analytic circuit model and master equation simulations. For large detunings, we find the shifts to scale linearly with the power of the applied microwave drive. Exploiting the effect, we demonstrated a power meter which makes it possible to characterize the microwave transmission from source to sample.
