description: Individual low-energy E1 toroidal and compressional states (TS and CS) produced by the convective nuclear current ${\bf j}_{\rm c}$ were recently predicted for $^{24}$Mg in the framework of quasiparticle random-phase-approximation (QRPA) with Skyrme forces. In the present QRPA study with Skyrme parametrization SLy6, we explore in more detail properties of these states (toroidal and compressional responses, current distributions, and transitions probabilities $B(E1K, 0^+0 \to 1^-K),\; B(E3K, 0^+0 \to 3^-K)$, $B(M2K, 0^+0 \to 2^-K)$ with $K=$0 and 1) and analyze the possibility to discriminate and identify TS in inelastic electron scattering to back angles. The interplay of the convective ${\bf j}_{\rm c}$ and magnetization ${\bf j}_{\rm m}$ nuclear currents is thoroughly scrutinized. A two-step scheme for identification of TS in $(e,e')$ reaction is proposed. The key element of the scheme is the strong interference of the orbital and spin contributions, resulting in specific features of E1 and M2 transversal form factors.

A Secure and Formally Verified Commodity Multiprocessor Hypervisor

description: Commodity hypervisors are widely deployed to support virtual machines on multiprocessor server hardware. Modern hypervisors are complex and often integrated with an operating system kernel, posing a significant security risk as writing large, multiprocessor systems software is error-prone. Attackers that successfully exploit hypervisor vulnerabilities may gain unfettered access to virtual machine data and compromise the confidentiality and integrity of virtual machine data. Theoretically, formal verification offers a solution to this problem, by proving that the hypervisor implementation contains no vulnerabilities and protects virtual machine data under all circumstances. However, it remains unknown how one might feasibly verify the entire codebase of a complex, multiprocessor commodity system. My thesis is that modest changes to a commodity system can reduce the required proof effort such that it becomes possible to verify the security properties of the entire system. This dissertation introduces microverification, a new approach for formally verifying the security properties of commodity systems. Microverification reduces the proof effort for a commodity system by retrofitting the system into a small core and a set of untrusted services, thus making it possible to reason about properties of the entire system by verifying the core alone. To verify the multiprocessor hypervisor core, we introduce security-preserving layers to modularize the proof without hiding information leakage so we can prove each layer of the implementation refines its specification, and the top layer specification is refined by all layers of the core implementation. To verify commodity hypervisor features that require dynamically changing information flow, we incorporate data oracles to mask intentional information flow. We can then prove noninterference at the top layer specification and guarantee the resulting security properties hold for the entire hypervisor implementation. Using microverification, we retrofitted the Linux KVM hypervisor with only modest modifications to its codebase. Using Coq, we proved that the hypervisor protects the confidentiality and integrity of VM data, including correctly managing tagged TLBs, shared multi-level page tables, and caches. Our work is the first machine-checked security proof for a commodity multiprocessor hypervisor. Experimental results with real application workloads demonstrate that verified KVM retains KVM’s functionality and performance.
Classical gauge theory of gravity

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: The classical theory of gravity is formulated as a gauge theory on a frame bundle with spontaneous symmetry breaking caused by the existence of Dirac fermionic fields. The pseudo-Riemannian metric (tetrad field) is the corresponding Higgs field. We consider two variants of this theory. In the first variant, gravity is represented by the pseudo-Riemannian metric as in general relativity theory; in the second variant, it is represented by the effective metric as in the Logunov relativistic theory of gravity. The configuration space, Dirac operator, and Lagrangians are constructed for both variants.

description: We report an investigation of the structural, magnetic and electronic properties of Ba(Fe(1-x)V(x))2As2 using x-ray, transport, magnetic susceptibility and neutron scattering measurements. The vanadium substitutions in Fe sites are possible up to 40\%. Hall effect measurements indicate strong hole-doping effect through V doping, while no superconductivity is observed in all samples down to 2K. The antiferromagnetic and structural transition temperature of BaFe2As2 is gradually suppressed to finite temperature then vanishes at x=0.245 with the emergence of spin glass behavior, suggesting an avoided quantum critical point (QCP). Our results demonstrate that the avoided QCP and spin glass state which were previously reported in the superconducting phase of Co/Ni-doped BaFe2As2 can also be realized in non-superconducting Ba(Fe(1-x)V(x))2As2.

A Seismic Retrofit To Rehabilitate The Long Beach Civic Center

Earthquake resistant design

description: At the core of this thesis is a challenge to expand preservation criteria to include the integrity of the urban design concept. The ever-greater scales and complex assemblages of modern and contemporary architecture have implications not only for surface quality and streetfront appearance, but for massing and urban relationships. The thesis seeks to make a case for the preservation of urban design intent through an investigation of the American civic center complex. The civic center type, by its very nature as a group of public buildings surrounding (or surrounded by) an open space or plaza, provides an opportunity to question the preservation values surrounding the urban complex. Postwar civic centers, in particular, are historically significant for their plaza-based partis, which offer generous, if insulated, public spaces in American downtowns, often built as responses to postwar urban decay. Today, many of these complexes are maligned for being desolate, underused and poorly maintained. In order to test a strategy of preservation-by-design for the rehabilitation of the urban civic center complex, this thesis takes the now-threatened Long Beach Civic Center as a case study. The city of Long Beach, California is moving forward with a plan to raze its 1977 Civic Center complex, designed by a consortium of local firms in the early 1970s: Hugh Gibbs & Donald Gibbs; Killingsworth, Brady & Associates; Frank Homolka and Associates; and Kenneth S. Wing and Associates. City officials cite seismic deficiency and an inflated retrofit budget as grounds for the appropriateness of a total rebuild of the complex today. This thesis argues for the preservation of the existing City Hall and Main Library buildings by way of a retrofit. ‘Retrofit’ is interpreted here not only as a technical means of updating the existing structures to meet seismic requirements, but implies a social and urban ‘retrofit’ of the complex as well. Built at a moment when Long Beach’s downtown was itself in dire need of a retrofit, the City Hall and Main Library complex represent a civic effort to revitalize the city. This preservation design proposal will attempt to make the case that it is possible to preserve the urban design features of the civic complex using creative design solutions to address both the city’s expanded programmatic requirements and the potential seismic vulnerability of its structures, while maintaining the character-defining urban features of the original 1977 complex.

description: The complex orthogonal and symplectic groups both act on the complete flag variety with finitely many orbits. We study two families of polynomials introduced by Wyser and Yong representing the $K$-theory classes of the closures of these orbits. Our polynomials are analogous to the Grothendieck polynomials representing $K$-classes of Schubert varieties, and we show that like Grothendieck polynomials, they are uniquely characterized among all polynomials representing the relevant classes by a certain stability property. We show that the same polynomials represent the equivariant $K$-classes of symmetric and skew-symmetric analogues of Knutson and Miller's matrix Schubert varieties. We derive explicit expressions for these polynomials in special cases, including a Pfaffian formula relying on a more general degeneracy locus formula of Anderson. Finally, we show that taking an appropriate limit of our representatives recovers the $K$-theoretic Schur $Q$-functions of Ikeda and Naruse.

description: The general solution of the graded contraction equations for a $\zz_2^{\otimes N}$ grading of the real compact simple Lie algebra $so(N+1)$ is presented in an explicit way. It turns out to depend on $2^N-1$ independent real parameters. The structure of the general graded contractions is displayed for the low dimensional cases, and kinematical algebras are shown to appear straightforwardly. The geometrical (or physical) meaning of the contraction parameters as curvatures is also analysed; in particular, for kinematical algebras these curvatures are directly linked to geometrical properties of possible homogeneous space-times.

Subjects: subject: 400 Sprache::410 Linguistik

description: This book introduces formal grammar theories that play a role in current linguistic theorizing (Phrase Structure Grammar, Transformational Grammar/Government & Binding, Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Categorial Grammar, Head-​Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Construction Grammar, Tree Adjoining Grammar). The key assumptions are explained and it is shown how the respective theory treats arguments and adjuncts, the active/passive alternation, local reorderings, verb placement, and fronting of constituents over long distances. The analyses are explained with German as the object language. The second part of the book compares these approaches with respect to their predictions regarding language acquisition and psycholinguistic plausibility. The nativism hypothesis, which assumes that humans posses genetically determined innate language-specific knowledge, is critically examined and alternative models of language acquisition are discussed. The second part then addresses controversial issues of current theory building such as the question of flat or binary branching structures being more appropriate, the question whether constructions should be treated on the phrasal or the lexical level, and the question whether abstract, non- visible entities should play a role in syntactic analyses. It is shown that the analyses suggested in the respective frameworks are often translatable into each other. The book closes with a chapter showing how properties common to all languages or to certain classes of languages can be captured. The book is a translation of the German book Grammatiktheorie, which was published by Stauffenburg in 2010. The following quotes are taken from reviews: With this critical yet fair reflection on various grammatical theories, Müller fills what was a major gap in the literature. Karen Lehmann, Zeitschrift für Rezen­sio­nen zur ger­man­is­tis­chen Sprach­wis­senschaft, 2012 Stefan Müller’s recent introductory textbook, Gram­matik­the­o­rie, is an astonishingly comprehensive and insightful survey for beginning students of the present state of syntactic theory. Wolfgang Sternefeld und Frank Richter, Zeitschrift für Sprach­wissen­schaft, 2012 This is the kind of work that has been sought after for a while [...] The impartial and objective discussion offered by the author is particularly refreshing.

description: Affecting 5-7% of all pregnancies, pre-eclampsia is a dangerous complication of pregnancy which poses a serious health risk to both mother and fetus. It is a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and is characterised by hypertension, proteinuria, edema and platelet aggregation. Despite the severity of the disease, no comprehensive theory has been determined to explain the pathogenesis of the disease, with delivery being the only curative treatment of this multisystem disorder of pregnancy. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia, which results in placental injury causing a hypoxic environment and eventually levels of anti-oxidants are markedly decreased. This leads to the activation of cell death pathways such as apoptosis and necrosis. The findings reported in this thesis suggest that selenium supplementation could be a potential therapy for treating women who are at risk of developing pre-eclampsia. In this study, selenium supplementation was used to up-regulate the expression of endogenous anti-oxidants, Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) and Thioredoxin-Reductase (Thx-Red). It has been well documented in the literature that pre-eclampsia is caused by oxidative stress and in an attempt to address this we investigated whether oxidative stress in trophoblast-like cells is protected by selenium supplementation. Trophoblast-like cells, BeWo, JEG-3 and Swan-71 cells were exposed to endogenous stressors such as Rotenone and Antimycin which are able to generate mitochondrial oxidative stress by inhibiting the electron transport chain.

This taxon was described from an unspecified number of specimens collected in « Georgia ». LeConte’s collection in MCZ contains a single specimen under that name. The specimen, a female labelled «[orange disk]/Type 5698/ L. piciventris Lec. [handwritten]» is herein designated as the lectotype and the label « Lectotype Argutor piciventris LeConte des. Y. Bousquet 2004» has been added.
 The lectotype (SBL ¼ 5.2 mm) belongs to the agilis group and seems specifically different from all species treated by Allen (1972). It differs from members of L. piceolus, L. accelerans, L. algidus, and L. unilobus, of which the body sizes approach that of L. piciventris, in having the microsculpture well impressed on the frons, even at middle, the sides of pronotum less rounded, and other minute details. This taxon was considered a variety of L. velox (Dejean) by Schaupp (1880:20). I have not seen any specimen of L. velox.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: This book focuses on improving community organizing through interpersonal skills and basic social work concepts, including cultural competency, engagement, dialog, empowerment, and group process. The use of these skills could lead to better engagement with volunteers, better collaboration with diverse local organizations and groups, facilitation of task and coalition groups, and lobbying for legislation. The central thesis of the book is that these skills are essential not only to social work methods but also to community development. The book will be useful to students by referencing the Council of Social Work Education's Education Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS), the National Association of Social Workers' Code of Ethics, and the International Federation of Social Workers' statement of ethical principles.

description: The renormalization group has proven to be a very powerful tool in physics for treating systems with many length scales. Here we show how it can be adapted to provide a new class of algorithms for discrete optimization. The heart of our method uses renormalization and recursion, and these processes are embedded in a genetic algorithm. The system is self-consistently optimized on all scales, leading to a high probability of finding the ground state configuration. To demonstrate the generality of such an approach, we perform tests on traveling salesman and spin glass problems. The results show that our ``genetic renormalization algorithm'' is extremely powerful.

description: In this article we discuss a few aspects of the space-time description of fields and particles. In sectionn II and III we demonstrate that fields are as fundamental as particles. In section IV we discuss non-equivalence of the Schwarzschild coordinates and the Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates. In section V we discuss that it is not possible to define causal structure in discrete space-time manifolds. In App.B we show that a line is not just a collection of points and we will have to introduce one-dimensional line-intervals as fundamental geometric elements. Similar discussions are valid for area and volume-elements. In App.C and App.D we make a comparative study of Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Mechanics and contradictions associated with probabilistics interpretation of these theories with space-time dimensional analysis. In App.E and App.F we discuss the geometry of Robertson-Walker model and electrostatic behavior of dielectrics respectively. In Sup.I we discuss the regularity of Spin-Spherical harmonics and also derive an energy-spectrum which is free of back-reaction problem. In Sup.II we discuss that in general the integral version of Gauss's divergence law in Electrodynamics is not valid and rederive Gauss's law and Ampere's law. We also show that under duality transformation magnetic charge conservation law do not remain time reversal symmetric. In Sup.III we derive the complete equation for viscous compressible fluids and make a few comments regarding some cotradictions associated with boundary conditions for fluid dynamics. In Sup.IV we discuss a few aspects on double slit interference experiments. We conclude this article with a few questions in Sup.V.

When the interplay between outcomes is significant, quantifying dependencies among interrelated variables is of great importance. Due to their ability to accommodate dependence flexibly, copulas are being applied increasingly. Yet, the application of copulas on discrete data is still in its infancy; one of the biggest barriers is the nonuniqueness of copulas, calling into question model interpretations and predictions. In this article, we study copula estimation with discrete outcomes in a regression context. As the marginal distributions vary with covariates, inclusion of continuous regressors expands the region of support for consistent estimation of copulas. Because some properties of continuous outcomes do not carry over to discrete outcomes, specification of a copula model has been a problem. We propose a nonparametric estimator of copulas to identify the “hidden” dependence structure for discrete outcomes and develop its asymptotic properties. The proposed nonparametric estimator can also serve as a diagnostic tool for selecting a parametric form for copulas. In the simulation study, we explore the performance of the proposed estimator under different scenarios and provide guidance on when the choice of copulas is important. The performance of the estimator improves as discreteness diminishes. A practical bandwidth selector is also proposed. An empirical analysis examines a dataset from the Local Government Property Insurance Fund (LGPIF) in the state of Wisconsin. We apply the nonparametric estimator to model the dependence among claim frequencies from different types of insurance coverage. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: A popular Adam--Gibbs scenario has suggested that the excess entropy of glass and liquid over crystal dominates the dynamical arrest at the glass transition with exclusive contribution from configurational entropy over vibrational entropy. However, an intuitive structural rationale for the emergence of frozen dynamics in relation to entropy is still lacking. Here we study these issues by atomistically simulating the vibrational, configurational, as well as total entropy of a model glass former over their crystalline counterparts for the entire temperature range spanning from glass to liquid. Besides confirming the Adam--Gibbs entropy scenario, the concept of Shannon information entropy is introduced to characterize the diversity of atomic-level structures, which undergoes a striking variation across the glass transition, and explains the change found in the excess configurational entropy. Hence, the hidden structural mechanism underlying the entropic kink at the transition is revealed in terms of proliferation of certain atomic structures with a higher degree of centrosymmetry, which are more rigid and possess less nonaffine softening modes. In turn, the proliferation of these centrosymmetric (rigid) structures leads to the freezing-in of the dynamics beyond which further structural rearrangements become highly unfavourable, thus explaining the kink in the configurational entropy at the transition.

Scalar modes and the linearized Schwarzschild solution on a quantized FLRW space-time in Yang-Mills matrix models

description: We study scalar perturbations of a recently found 3+1-dimensional FLRW quantum space-time solution in Yang-Mills matrix models. In particular, the linearized Schwarzschild metric is obtained as a solution. It arises from a quasi-static would-be massive graviton mode, and slowly decreases during the cosmic expansion. Along with the propagating graviton modes, this strongly suggests that 3+1 dimensional (quantum) gravity emerges from the IKKT matrix model on this background. For the dynamical scalar modes, non-linear effects must be taken into account. We argue that they lead to non-Ricci-flat metric perturbations with very long wavelengths, which would be perceived as dark matter from the GR point of view.

The cost of funds and access to credit : the case of smallholder oil palm growers in Papua New Guinea
Creators: name: Yala, Charles
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2004

description: This thesis is about the cost of funds to borrowers and access to formal sector credit by smallholder oil palm growers in the Hoskins oil palm project in Papua New Guinea. This study finds that the cost of funds to smallholder oil palm grower borrowers is high and their access to formal sector credit is restricted. The study has uncovered many underlying factors responsible for this situation. It is not the result of government policies nor of actions of the formal commercial financial sector. These underlying factors are driven by insecure land titles and poor savings and banking history. This research enriches the existing literature on the determinants of financial development by contributing to the understanding of three important factors: borrower transaction cost, property rights and relationship banking. It shows that the development of an efficient property rights system and a good relationship with commercial banks would lower the cost of funds and enhance financial development. This study contributes to the growing empirical research that analyses the determinants of financial development.

description: The paper starts by giving a motivation for this research and justifying the considered stochastic diffusion models for cosmic microwave background radiation studies. Then it derives the exact solution in terms of a series expansion to a hyperbolic diffusion equation on the unit sphere. The Cauchy problem with random initial conditions is studied. All assumptions are stated in terms of the angular power spectrum of the initial conditions. An approximation to the solution is given and analysed by finitely truncating the series expansion. The upper bounds for the convergence rates of the approximation errors are derived. Smoothness properties of the solution and its approximation are investigated. It is demonstrated that the sample Hölder continuity of these spherical fields is related to the decay of the angular power spectrum. Numerical studies of approximations to the solution and applications to cosmic microwave background data are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.

'Figuring' Catholicism : the Santo Nino and religious discourse in Cebu
Creators: name: Bautista, Julius
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2003
Subjects: Philippines
Catholicism
Iconography
Santo Nino

description: This thesis focuses on the Santa Nino de Cebu, which is an ancient statue of a young Jesus Christ enshrined in Cebu City. To this day, it is the subject of institutionalized rites of formal worship administered by the Cebu Archdiocese, as well as more immediate and spontaneous acts of veneration among the nearly two million inhabitants of Cebu province. While this study is concerned with describing the various modes of devotion to the figure, its aims extend beyond this. The earlier chapters discuss how the history of the figure – a history remembered in folklore and oral renditions as much as it is through the documentary archive - is intertwined with very specific and widely-held ideas about the figure’s ‘discover’ and miraculous intercession. The principal rationale here, however, is not to evaluate the factuality of these ideas but to discuss the conditions upon which historical accounts are constituted and expressed,. In evaluating religion as a discourse, this thesis conceives of ‘iconography’ as a relationship between an object and the ‘events’ are thought to be the foundations upon which dominant meanings are created and maintained. This examination of discourses is a theme that runs through the latter chapters of this study.. the last four chapters consider the symbolic friction between ‘official;’ and ‘illicit’ Catholicism in Cebu – a dichotomy that is in many ways mediated by the conception of the figure as ‘folk catholic’ , ‘localised’ or ‘syncretistic’. In this way, religiosity is portrayed here as an experience of institutional, semantic or doctrinal forces that continue to condition how icons are worshipped and revered. The Santo Nino then is more than just a topic of this thesis. Insofar as this study discusses the historical, discursive and epistemological foundations of the way Cebanos ‘figure’ Catholicism, it can be said that the Santa Nino is a metaphor for how the religiosity manifests itself among the faithful not just in Cebu but throughout the Philippine archipelago as well.
