description: During solar proton events (SP Es), large fluxes of energetic protons spreading through­out the interplanetary medium (IPM) have access to the upper polar atmosphere where they play important roles in physical and chemical processes. The angular distribution of arriving solar energetic particles is a superposition of isotropic and anisotropic compo­nents. The isotropic component easily penetrates the magnetosphere forming a uniform background flux distribution inside the cut-off boundaries of the polar caps. We investi­gate the anisotropic component and the conditions that allow solar energetic protons to be focused into small spots in the polar caps, mostly near their boundaries. We examine also the dynamics of the relation between SPEs as detected through ionospheric absorption measured by a high-latitude riometer on one hand, and proton fluxes measured outside the magnetosphere by the SOHO satellite on the other. Vie find a high correlation between SOHO fluxes and absorption in some types of events (those having insignificant electron precipitation and background radio noise from the solar emission which boosts the radio signal received by the riometer causing a reduction in the measured absorption) and at some time intervals (more than ten hours after SEP onset, and within tens of hours following times of maximum flux) but not others. A probable explanation for this is that early in SPEs protons follow solar magnetic field lines and their distributions tend to be highly anisotropic, and the strong angular dependence decreases the correlation between IPM fluxes and polar cap absorption. After tens of hours the proton angular distribution becomes nearly isotropic and we find strong correlations ( correlation coefficients of up to 0.98) between the logarithm of proton integral fluxes observed at SOHO and the logarithm of polar cap absorption obtained from a NORSTAR riometer. We use these observations to construct and validate a realistic transport model that will map proton fluxes originating out ide the magnetosphere to those incident on the upper atmosphere, and vice versa. This in turn will enable riometers located outside the auroral oval to be used as a diagnostic tool to determine properties of energetic proton populations in the IPM.
Optical galaxy cluster detection and weak gravitational lensing derived galaxy cluster mass functions : the development of a new algorithm and its application to the Millennium Simulation, CFHTLS-Deep, and CFHTLS-Wide surveys

description: Hierarchical structure formation and the λCDM model of the Universe reveal that large structures, such as galaxy clusters, form from the aggregation and merging of smaller structures over time. Exploring the morphologies and distribution of galaxy clusters enables the identification of processes that affect this growth, including the significant role of dark matter in structure formation. The particle constituting dark matter remains unknown and current experimental searches for it abound. Weak gravitational lensing (WL) is an observational astronomy technique that can successfully measure dark matter and thus is an important tool in its characterisation, and furthermore, in distinguishing between competing gravity theories. Using WL to measure galaxy cluster mass, including both baryonic matter and dark matter, across a range of redshifts, exposes details of cluster assembly processes. It is imperative to obtain a complete, pure and understood galaxy cluster sample for statistical, accurate investigations of the properties and evolution of all types of galaxy clusters, from which to draw unbiased conclusions about the evolution of the Universe. Cognisant of these factors, this thesis presents a new algorithm, 3D-MF, a three-dimensional matched-filter method, that enables searches for galaxy clusters in large, optical wavelength astronomical surveys. 3D-MF is used herein to successfully discover thousands of galaxy clusters in the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS). Subsequently, theoretical mass profiles are used to characterise cluster candidate WL signals, providing mass or velocity dispersions. The CFHTLS-Deep and Wide galaxy cluster catalogues in this thesis represent a new and abundant source of galaxy cluster information, containing ~170 and ~92 galaxy clusters per square degree respectively (with σ > 3.5, and 0.2 ≤ z ≤ 1.0). WL shear catalogues were used to analyse > 15,000 CFHTLS-Wide 3D-MF galaxy clusters, and the average cluster stacks (for clusters 0.2 ≤ z ≤ 0.5) were found to cover a mass range of 10¹³M๏≲ M₂₀₀ ≲ 10¹⁴M๏, having 1D velocity dispersions of σν 200-500 km/s. 3D-MF finds higher redshift clusters down to a lower mass range than other methods; its successes have already led to its implementation in other surveys, as we progress toward a deeper understanding of the Universe.

Photography, Visual Culture, and the (Re)Definition/Queering of the Male Gaze
Creators: name: Martin, David Nicholas
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Abstract:
The traditional notion of the Male Gaze, first conceptualized by feminist film critic Laura Mulvey in 1975, focused on the objectification of women through depictions structured to gratify a male heterosexual perspective. In this chapter we will revisit this concept and investigate how that gaze may have shifted away from a primarily heterosexual perspective to a socially dominant male perspective (maleness here referring to dominance rather than specific gender, just as “whiteness” might refer to privilege rather than race). With gender roles in an increasingly global and mobile society becoming more fluid and complex, opening up visibility to LGBTQ communities, along with a substantial post-feminist backlash, we will consider how the male gaze is shifting and how subsets of objectifying “gazes” might overlap.
I will explore whether the traditional heterosexual male gaze has shifted due to power backlashes and other developments. New gaze developments may take the form of the “bromance” as well as athletics and advertising. Included in an investigation of this “dominant gaze” will be an exploration into the possibility of a lesbian and transgender gaze – does each subculture have the propensity to fall into this pattern of objectified looking and if so, where is the evidence and what are the implications? That evidence will be explored through photography, film, dance, and other visual media as this subject is expanded through the emergence of variant sexualities and gender identities.

description: The above question is frequently asked by theorists who are interested in graphene as a model system, especially in context of relativistic quantum physics. We offer an experimental answer by describing electron transport in suspended devices with carrier mobilities of several 10^6 cm^2V^-1s^-1 and with the onset of Landau quantization occurring in fields below 5 mT. The observed charge inhomogeneity is as low as \approx10^8 cm^-2, allowing a neutral state with a few charge carriers per entire micron-scale device. Above liquid helium temperatures, the electronic properties of such devices are intrinsic, being governed by thermal excitations only. This yields that the Dirac point can be approached within 1 meV, a limit currently set by the remaining charge inhomogeneity. No sign of an insulating state is observed down to 1 K, which establishes the upper limit on a possible bandgap.

It is practically French already: Lord Curzon, signals intelligence, and solving the Tangier question, 1918-23
Creators: name: Klepach, Dorian John
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 121-128
description: This thesis explores the link between British signals intelligence and London's handling of the Tangier Question between 1918 and 1923. The Tangier Question arose after the Great War, when France attempted to control the international city of Tangier, to the detriment of British trade and strategic policy. Spain - with its own possessions in Morocco - aligned itself with British Foreign Secretary Lord Curzon in order to thwart France. Supplied with an impressive amount of solutions of foreign traffic provided by the Government Code and Cypher School, Curzon was the best-informed diplomat involved with the issue. The thesis concludes that while there was no causal link between intelligence and British policy in Morocco, intelligence was, nevertheless, an invaluable tool for Curzon. Owing to the work of the GC&CS, he precisely altered British policy in order to come to terms with France, and to control the Spanish.

description: We investigate how the topological charge density in lattice QCD simulations is affected by violations of chiral symmetry caused by the fermion action. To this end we compare lattice configurations generated with a number of different actions including first configurations generated with exact dynamical overlap quarks. We visualize the topological profiles after mild smearing. In the topological charge correlator we measure the size of the positive core, which is known to shrink to zero extension in the continuum limit. To leading order we find the core size to scale linearly with the lattice spacing with the same coefficient for all actions, even including quenched simulations. In the subleading term the different actions vary over a range of about 10 %. Our findings suggest that non-chiral lattice actions at current lattice spacings do not differ much for observables related to topology, both among themselves and compared to overlap fermions.

description: We have measured electron–ion recombination for Fe xii forming Fe xi using a merged-beam configuration at the heavy-ion storage ring TSR located at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany. The measured merged-beam recombination rate coefficient (MBRRC) for collision energies from 0 to 1500 eV is presented. This work uses a new method for determining the absolute MBRRC based on a comparison of the ion beam decay rate with and without the electron beam on. For energies below 75 eV, the spectrum is dominated by dielectronic recombination (DR) resonances associated with 3s → 3p and 3p → 3d core excitations. At higher energies, we observe contributions from 3 → N' and 2 → N' core excitation DR. We compare our experimental results to state-of-the-art multi-configuration Breit-Pauli (MCBP) calculations and find significant differences, both in resonance energies and strengths. We have extracted the DR contributions from the measured MBRRC data and transformed them into a plasma recombination rate coefficient (PRRC) for temperatures in the range of 103–107 K. We show that the previously recommended DR data for Fe xii significantly underestimate the PRRC at temperatures relevant for both photoionized plasmas (PPs) and collisionally ionized plasmas (CPs). This is contrasted with our MCBP PRRC results, which agree with the experiment to within 30% at PP temperatures and even better at CP temperatures. We find this agreement despite the disagreement shown by the detailed comparison between our MCBP and experimental MBRRC results. Last, we present a simple parameterized form of the experimentally derived PRRC for easy use in astrophysical modeling codes.
Quantum Equivalence Principle Violations in Scalar-Tensor Theories

description: We study the equivalence principle and its violations by quantum effects in scalar-tensor theories that admit a conformal frame in which matter only couples to the spacetime metric. These theories possess Ward identities that guarantee the validity of the weak equivalence principle to all orders in the matter coupling constants. These Ward identities originate from a broken Weyl symmetry under which the scalar field transforms by a shift, and from the symmetry required to couple a massless spin two particle to matter (diffeomorphism invariance). But the same identities also predict violations of the weak equivalence principle relatively suppressed by at least two powers of the gravitational couplings, and imply that quantum corrections do not preserve the structure of the action of these theories. We illustrate our analysis with a set of specific examples for spin zero and spin half matter fields that show why matter couplings do respect the equivalence principle, and how the couplings to the gravitational scalar lead to the weak equivalence principle violations predicted by the Ward identities.

description: Poaching, unsustainable wildlife utilization practices and the bush meat trade has cleared wildlife out of many of their former natural habitats in Africa. Based on the success of reintroducing wildlife into the Quicama National Park in Angola in cooperation with the local community, all wildlife that have been settled in the wildlife sterile landscape has flourished, multiplied and not one was lost to poaching over the past 12 years. The community is benefitting now from the Park through amongst others employment and the tourist camp is permanently fully booked. Amongst others, the 34 elephants that were airlifted there in family groups have increased to 120. South Africa has experienced a forty fold increase in its wildlife numbers over a period of 50 years due to the private sector and communities taking custodianship of wildlife on private lands. Based on these experiences and successes in starting new nodes of wildlife in Angola, wildlife can be established in other parts of Africa where civil war and over-utilization like in the bush meat trade has wiped wildlife out. The clearest successes in promoting wildlife conservation outside of protected areas in Africa have been achieved where authority to manage and utilize wildlife has been devolved to the landholder level.

description: Torsion of the foot reduces the coupling between forefoot and rearfoot motion in the frontal plane. While the amount of torsion occurring in running and cutting has previously been described, the exact location of the rotation axis has not been detennined. It is known that footwear restricts torsional movement; it is unknown what effect footwear torsional stiffoess has on lower extremity joint biomechanics. Therefore, the purposes of this thesis were to 1) develop and assess the repeatability of a method to calculate the location of the torsion axis, 2) describe the torsion axis location during cutting movements, 3) determine the influence of footwear torsional stiffness on torsion angles and lower extremity joint biomechanics during running and cutting movements, and 4) quantify the effect of footwear torsional stiffness on perfom1ance during cutting movements. The torsion axis location was calculated usmg a modified finite helical axis approach, which allowed the calculation of the rotation axis between the forefoot and the rearfoot without the influence of forefoot flexion. The repeatability assessment of the modified finite helical axis approach revealed that the torsion axis location can be calculated repeatable for movements with large torsion angles. For movements with small torsion, however, it cannot be quantified due to the susceptibility of the method for error with small rotations. During the stance phase of cutting movements the torsion axis shifted from an initially medial location within the foot to a lateral location during mid-stance when the torsion angle was large. Towards the end of stance, the axis moved back to the medial side of the foot. The average axis calculated over the entire stance phase was located on the lateral aspect of the midfoot. When wearing torsional stiff shoes, the peak torsion angle was reduced for running, a lateral jab and a shuffle cut when compared to a flexible shoe. Even with a flexible shoe, the peak torsion was reduced compared to barefoot. Stiff shoes led to increased peak ankle inversion angles and peak eversion moments for the shuffle cut. No differences in performance during lateral cutting movements were found between footwear with different torsional stiffness.

After Denise Lardner Carmody's concise and complete summary of our book's contents and intents, the concerns seemed to fall into three broad categories: (1) The insider-outsider problematic (Barnes); (2) the place of theology in a religiously affiliated university and the roles of spirituality and worship in such a theology (Cunningham); and (3) concerns about our overall method, together with the limitations on such a method resulting from the white, Catholic, middle-class, maleness of all three authors (Carmody and Hinsdale). Paul Knitter responds to the first issue; William Madges to the second, and Brennan Hill to the third.
Zirconium amidoboranes and aqueous carbene complexes

description: Bibliography: p. 234-263
description: Some pages are in colour.
description: The target of the research described in this thesis covered two areas: the investigation of the ligand properties of amidoboranes, and the synthesis of water soluble N-heterocyclic carbene (NHCs) complexes. Ammonia borane (AB) has shown great potential as a hydrogen storage medium as it contains 19.6 wt% hydrogen, which can be easily released. Extensive studies of metal catalyzed dehydrogenation of AB have been conducted, however, transition metal complexes containing unsubstituted AB and its derivatives have not been isolated. To better understand the nature of the transition metal catalyzed decomposition of AB, I sought to synthesize metal complexes featuring the amidoborane ligand, NH2BH3-. Several zirconocene amidoboranes complexes were isolated featuring an amidoborane ligand coordinated to a metal center in a bidentate fashion through a dative nitrogen zirconium bond and a ??-B-agostic B-H-Zr interaction. This gave rise to a pair of agostic isomers, which differed with respect to the orientation of the amidoborane ligand. Investigation into the reactivity of these complexes showed that they behaved much differently than their isoelectronic ethyl analogue. NHCs metal complexes are a highly successful class of compounds which have been applied to a very diverse array of catalytic processes. Most of these processes require organic solvents and produce large quantities of waste. The appendage of ionic moieties to the NHC framework to increase its solubility in aqueous media has been explored. The synthesis of metal complexes feature repo11ed NHCs with N-aryl substituted substituents was investigated m order to better understand their catalytic properties in an aqueous environment. Silver NHC complexes are well known transmetallation reagents and thus silver complexes of sulfonated NH Cs were the first compounds synthesized. These novel silver complexes were found to be extraordinarily stable, in tum making them poor transmetallation reagents. An alternate route to metal complexes of sulfonated NHCs was pursued through the synthesis of the free carbene, which, while not isolable, could be produced and was stable in wet dimethylsulfoxide. Solutions containing the free carbene were used to synthesize copper, gold, and rhodium complexes of sulfonated NH Cs.

description: Bipolar spherical harmonics (BiPoSHs) provide a general formalism for quantifying departures in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from statistical isotropy (SI) and from Gaussianity. However, prior work has focused only on BiPoSHs with even parity. Here we show that there is another set of BiPoSHs with odd parity, and we explore their cosmological applications. We describe systematic artifacts in a CMB map that could be sought by measurement of these odd-parity BiPoSH modes. These BiPoSH modes may also be produced cosmologically through lensing by gravitational waves (GWs), among other sources. We derive expressions for the BiPoSH modes induced by the weak lensing of both scalar and tensor perturbations. We then investigate the possibility of detecting parity-breaking physics, such as chiral GWs, by cross-correlating opposite parity BiPoSH modes with multipole moments of the CMB polarization. We find that the expected signal-to-noise of such a detection is modest.

Scalable and deterministic timing-driven parallel placement for FPGAs
Creators: name: Wang, Chao Chris
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis describes a parallel implementation of the timing-driven VPR 5.0 simulated-annealing placement engine. By partitioning the grid into regions and allowing distant data to grow stale, it is possible to consider a large number of non-conflicting moves in parallel and achieve a deterministic result. The full timing-driven placement algorithm is parallelized, including swap evaluation, bounding-box calculation and the detailed timing-analysis updates. The partitioned region approach slightly degrades the placement quality, but this is necessary to expose greater parallelism. We also suggest a method to recover the lost quality. In simulated annealing, runtime can be shortened at the expense of quality. Using this method, the serial placer can achieve a maximum speedup of 100X while quality metrics degrades as much as 100%. In contrast, the parallel placer can scale beyond 500X with all quality metrics degrading by less than 30%. Specifically, at the point where the parallel placer begins to dominate over the serial placer, the post-routing minimum channel width, wirelength and critical-path delay degrades 13%, 10% and 7% respectively on average compared to VPR’s original algorithm,while achieving a 140X to 200X speedup 25 threads. Finally, it is shown that the amount of degradation in the parallel placer is independent of the number of threads used.
NMSSM Higgs Benchmarks Near 125 GeV

description: The recent LHC indications of a SM-like Higgs boson near 125 GeV are consistent not only with the Standard Model (SM) but also with Supersymmetry (SUSY). However naturalness arguments disfavour the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We consider the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) with a SM-like Higgs boson near 125 GeV involving relatively light stops and gluinos below 1 TeV in order to satisfy naturalness requirements. We are careful to ensure that the chosen values of couplings do not become non perturbative below the grand unification (GUT) scale, although we also examine how these limits may be extended by the addition of extra matter to the NMSSM at the two-loop level. We then propose four sets of benchmark points corresponding to the SM-like Higgs boson being the lightest or the second lightest Higgs state in the NMSSM or the NMSSM-with-extra-matter. With the aid of these benchmark points we discuss how the NMSSM Higgs boson near 125 GeV may be distinguished from the SM Higgs boson in future LHC searches.

description: The following study hopes to serve as a stimulus to an ecumenical Christian Theology of the Religions by asking whether and how one segment of that theology is confronting the »other religions«. We will offer — from a »Catholic viewpoint« — a survey of present-day German Protestant attitudes towards the religions and weigh how these attitudes are clarifying the questions which are essential to a well-defined theology of the non-Christian religious world and to a theological dialogue with this world: What, if any, role do the religions play in the »history of salvation«? Can we speak of a genuine divine presence or revelation within the religions? And can this revelation be the basis for a faith-encounter with the Deity — i. e., for the attainment of salvation? — Or, more generally: must the Christian's attitude toward and encounter with other religions be basically positive or negative? And why? — What stance do contemporary German-speaking Protestant theologians take to all these questions?
Investigation of groundwater flow pathways in an alpine catchment using a coupled snowmelt-groundwater flow model

description: Alpine environments form the headwaters of many large river systems that supply a significant proportion of the world's population with water. In these regions shallow, unconfined alluvial aquifers have the ability to regulate both the timing and magnitude of peak discharge as they are often dominant transfer mechanisms in the routing of runoff to outflow streams. These groundwater flow dynamics are studied for an alpine catchment near Lake O'Hara in Yoho National Park, British Columbia using a coupled snowmelt­groundwater flow model. Spatiotemporal snowmelt patterns are simulated with a calibrated degree-day snowmelt model and are subsequently applied as recharge boundary conditions in a transient groundwater flow model. Through modifications to hydrogeological parameters, subsurface model structure, and ultimately the conceptual groundwater model itself, conclusions are made regarding potential features and controls on hydrologic response in this watershed.

description: Clostridium difficile is an anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium and the etiologic agent of C. difficile infection. C. difficile has become the leading cause of antibiotic­associated diarrhea in hospitalized patients and represents a significant burden to health care systems worldwide. The appearance, in the past decade, of hyper-virulent C. difficile has resulted in disease in traditionally low-risk populations and more severe disease outcomes. Two large toxins, Toxin A and Toxin B, are the main virulence factors of the organism, however, a growing body of evidence suggests that adherence and subsequent colonization may play an important role in C. difficile's pathogenic strategy. Although several putative adhesins have been described, their roles in the adherence process have yet to be uncovered. In the studies presented herein, a novel C. difficile adherence assay and a hamster model of infection are used to characterize two putative adhesins, FliC, the flagellin monomer, and FliD, the flagellar cap protein. An immunotherapeutic approach revealed that FliD and not FliC-specific IgY antibodies prevented adherence to intestinal tissue culture cells and disease in hamsters. Gene knock-outs injliC andjliD showed that neither protein was essential for adherence and that both strains were still pathogenic in hamsters. These results imply that motility is not necessary for the organism to reach or colonize the site of infection and that down-regulation of flagellar proteins may be part of C. difficile's pathogenic strategy to avoid recognition by the host immune system. It is apparent that while FliC and FliD are not essential to the virulence of the organism, antibodies directed against FliD can still prevent disease, perhaps by aggregation and subsequent elimination of the organism from the host. Finally, an as yet reported function for Toxin B in facilitating adherence of the organism to intestinal tissue culture cells in vitro is described. Based on the combined results from the described studies, an updated model of the C. difficile adherence process is suggested. Current work is aimed at characterizing other putative adhesins by ClosTron mutagenesis, establishing a mouse model of infection and further developing the FliD-specific IgY immunotherapy in Phase II clinical trials.

description: We have measured the widths of spectral lines from a polar coronal hole using the Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer on board Hinode. Polar coronal holes are regions of open magnetic field and the source of the fast solar wind. We find that the line widths decrease at relatively low heights. Previous observations have attributed such decreases to systematic effects, but we find that such effects are too small to explain our results. We conclude that the line narrowing is real. The non-thermal line widths are believed to be proportional to the amplitude of Alfvén waves propagating along these open field lines. Our results suggest that Alfvén waves are damped at unexpectedly low heights in a polar coronal hole. We derive an estimate on the upper limit for the energy dissipated between 1.1 R ☉ and 1.3 R ☉ and find that it is enough to account for up to 70% of that required to heat the polar coronal hole and accelerate the solar wind.

description: Upper Cretaceous-Paleogene strata that crop-out in southern Chile, including the Tres Pasos and Dorotea formations, record the final infill of the deep-water Magallanes foreland basin. A depositional dip-oriented exposure of a shelf to slope system that had >900 m of paleobathymetric relief has been ??apped over 200 km2• The stratigraphic framework for the large-scale depositional system is grounded with detailed sedimentological analyses. Stratigraphic architecture characterized by progradational clinoforms is punctuated by two over-steepened slope surfaces that are characterized by substantial evidence for sediment bypass of the slope, and deep-water sand accumulation. Dominant shelf processes (e.g., waves, tides, etc.) and shelf-edge evolution, or trajectory, had a minor impact on the delivery of sand and gravel beyond the shelf-edge relative to the role of margin readjustment in which over-steepened conditions developed. Outcrop observations provide realistic insight into reservoir distribution and characteristics in analogous hydrocarbon-prone clinoform systems.

Overcoming Greed: Buddhists and Christians in Consumerist Society
Creators: name: Knitter, Paul
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2004
Subjects: Religion

description: Generally, what generates productive dialogue is a proper balance of learning and questioning. My assigned job in this exchange is to question more than learn--to offer some Christian queries about how Buddhists think we can overcome greed and find a path out of the consumerist jungle that surrounds us. Actually, I'd prefer it the other way around, for I'm convinced that we Christians have some very important, if not absolutely vital, things to learn from Buddhists in our own efforts to deal with the jungle. And I will mention some of them. But, following instructions, my main focus in what follows will be on areas where I suspect that Buddhists can learn something, maybe something very helpful, in our shared efforts to deal with greed and the havoc it is working on people and planet.

description: The implementation of the dynamics in loop quantum gravity (LQG) is still an open problem. Here, we discuss a tentative dynamics for the simplest class of graphs in LQG: Two vertices linked with an arbitrary number of edges. We find an interesting global U(N) symmetry in this model that selects the homogeneous/isotropic sector. Then, we propose a quantum Hamiltonian operator for this reduced sector. Finally, we introduce the spinor representation for LQG in order to propose a classical effective dynamics for this model.
