description: We present an approach for the semiclassical treatment of open quantum systems. An expansion into localized states allows restriction of a simulation to a fraction of the environment that is located within a predefined vicinity of the system. Adding and dropping environmental particles during the simulation yields an effective reduction of the size of the system that is being treated.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν να εξετάσει την επίδραση ενός στυλ καθοδήγησης υποστηρικτικού της αυτονομίας σε πρόγραμμα άσκησης, στην αντιλαμβανόμενη υποστήριξη της αυτονομίας, στην ικανοποίηση των βασικών ψυχολογικών αναγκών και στην ενίσχυση των αυτό-καθοριζόμενων τύπων παρακίνησης των ασκουμένων. Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν 44 γυναίκες ηλικίας 20 έως 74 ετών οι οποίες έλαβαν μέρος σε πρόγραμμα άσκησης με αντιστάσεις. Η παρέμβαση εφαρμόστηκε σε 12 συνεδρίες στις οποίες για την πειραματική ομάδα (n=21) εφαρμόστηκε ένα στυλ καθοδήγησης με πρακτικές υποστήριξης της αυτονομίας και βασισμένο στη θεωρία του αυτό-καθορισμού, ενώ για την ομάδα ελέγχου (n=23) εφαρμόστηκε ένα τυπικό στυλ καθοδήγησης. Η πειραματική ομάδα ανέφερε σημαντική αύξηση της ικανοποίησης μόνο για την βασική ψυχολογική ανάγκη για αυτονομία και όχι για την ικανότητα και τις κοινωνικές σχέσεις. Αναφορικά με τους τύπους ρύθμισης της συμπεριφοράς η ομάδα ελέγχου ανέφερε σημαντική αύξηση της εσωτερικής πίεσης ενώ σε όλους τους υπόλοιπους τύπους ρύθμισης δεν βρέθηκε στατιστικώς σημαντική διαφορά μεταξύ των δύο ομάδων. Τα αποτελέσματα της παρούσας έρευνας αν και δεν υποστηρίζουν εξολοκλήρου τη θεωρία του αυτό-καθορισμού, εντούτοις αναδεικνύουν επιμεριστικά την σημασία ενός στυλ διδασκαλίας με πρακτικές υποστήριξης της αυτονομίας ασκουμένων γυναικών στο πλαίσιο προγράμματος άσκησης με αντιστάσεις.
description: The purpose of the present study was to examine the influence of an autonomy-supportive exercise instructing style on exercise participants’ perceived autonomy support, basic psychological needs satisfaction, and behavioral regulations to exercise. Participants were 44 women, aged 20-74 years, who attended a resistance exercise program. The intervention lasted for 12 sessions in which the experimental group (n = 21) was exposed to an autonomy-supportive instructing style based on self-determination theory principles. The control group (n = 23) was exposed to a typical exercise instructing style. The experimental group reported a significant increase in the satisfaction of the need for autonomy but not for competence and relatedness. Regarding behavioral regulations, the experimental group reported a significant decrease in introjected regulation while amotivation, external regulation, identified regulation, and intrinsic motivation did not differ between the groups. The present findings have highlighted the importance of an autonomy-supportive exercise instructing approach in influencing the need for autonomy and introjected regulation among women attending a resistance exercise program.
Beyond words : the theatre of Griselda Gambaro
Creators: name: A’Ness, Francine Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Griselda Gambaro is one of Argentina's most well known playwrights, whose dramatic work has made an important contribution to Latin American theatre. While she was a controversial figure of Argentina's avant garde movement of thel960's, her dramatic work has since gained the respect of her contemporaries, the admiration of audiences and the interest of critics both at home and abroad. Her theatre, originally associated with the Theatre of the Absurd, tends to be anti-mimetic and experimental in style, while in thematic content Gambaro remains acutely aware of the changes in her country's recent socio-political climate. The aim of this thesis is firstly to highlight the important contribution Gambaro has made to the Argentinean stage through her attempts to offer alternative forms of theatrical expression to realism; and, secondly, to analyse the evolution of her theatre from the dual perspective of dramatic style and thematic content. In order to better understand Gambaro and her theatre, in chapter one we will situate her in a clearly Argentinean context. In chapter two we will focus in more detail on Gambaro's particular dramatic style, the possible influences that have brought about its genesis and the changes it has undergone in the last three decades. These changes we will see are based upon continued experimentation and a heightening politicization of the playwright herself. The final section of the thesis will illustrate the ideas put forth in chapter two through an analysis of four of her plays. The four plays chosen, El desatino. El campo, Information para extranjeros and Del sol naciente, span the period 1965 to 1983, and can be regarded as representative works for showing the evolution of both stylistic and political concerns within Gambaro's theatre.

Στην μελέτη αυτή διερευνούμε την τοπολογία και τις θεμελιώδεις ιδιότητες δικτύων που σχετίζονται με τον καρκίνο μέσω στατιστικών δεικτών από την Θεωρία Γραφημάτων επιλέγοντας τη μορφή μη κατευθυνόμενων γράφων. Τα δίκτυα αυτά προκύπτουν από την τρέχουσα κοινώς αποδεκτή αποτύπωση των μηχανισμών καρκινογένεσης και τα σχετικά πρωτόκολλα. Διαπιστώσαμε ότι εκτός από ελάχιστες εξαιρέσεις τα μελετηθέντα δίκτυα εμφανίζουν χαρακτηριστικές αποκλίσεις από πραγματικά βιολογικά δίκτυα σε σημαντικές τοπολογικές παραμέτρους. Ερμηνεύουμε τα ευρήματά μας ως μεθοδολογικές αφαιρετικές αδυναμίες της αναπαράστασης των αντίστοιχων βιολογικών φαινομένων. Η συγκεκριμένη μελέτη συμβάλει στη διακρίβωση της επάρκειας του κάθε δικτύου ως μαθηματικής οντότητας και αποτελεί σημαντικό βήμα για τον σχεδιασμό μελλοντικών ερευνών.
description: Cancer is a complex disease. In recent years the study of individual gene or protein-level related defects has been followed by an integrative, systems level, approach comprising network modeling attempts. In this work we investigate the topology and the fundamental structural properties of a set of cancer-related pathways in an undirected graph format through the implementation of Graph Theory statistical indices. The construction of these networks has been based upon a consensus regarding the molecular mechanisms for each cancer. With few exceptions, we observe striking inconsistencies between the networks under study and real-world biological networks in terms of essential topological parameters. We interpret these discrepancies in a network construction methodological context, in which the level of abstraction fails to capture the underlying biological mechanisms. Our work contributes to the baseline mathematical interrogation of the specific cancer pathways and is an important step in the course of designing future studies.
Quantum Baker Maps for Spiraling Chaotic Motion

description: We define a coupling of two baker maps through a pi/2 rotation both in position and in momentum. The classical trajectories thus exhibit spiraling, or loxodromic motion, which is only possible for conservative maps of at least two degrees of freedom. This loxodromic baker map is still hyperbolic, that is, fully chaotic. Quantization of this map follows on similar lines to other generalized baker maps. It is found that the eigenvalue spectrum for quantum loxodromic baker map is far removed from those of the canonical random matrix ensembles. An investigation of the symmetries of the loxodromic baker map reveals the cause of this deviation from the Bohigas-Giannoni-Schmit conjecture.

description: We have searched for the rare decay B+ --> Ds+ pi0. The analysis is based on a sample of 232 million Upsilon(4S) --> B anti-B decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+ e- storage ring. We find 19.6 signal events, corresponding to a significance of 4.7 sigma. The extracted signal yield including statistical and systematic uncertainties is 20.1+6.8+0.4 -6.0-1.5, and we measure B(B+ --> Ds+ pi0) =(1.5 +0.5 -0.4 +- 0.1 +- 0.2) 10^-5, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the last is due to the uncertainty on the Ds+ decay and its daughter decay branching fractions.

description: In this paper we analyzed dependencies in commodity markets investigating correlations of future contracts for commodities over the period 1998.09.01 - 2007.12.14. We constructed a minimal spanning tree based on the correlation matrix. The tree provides evidence for sector clusterization of investigated contracts. We also studied dynamical properties of commodity dependencies. It turned out that the market was constantly getting more correlated within the investigated period, although the increase of correlation was distributed nonuniformly among all contracts, and depended on contracts branches.

description: Low energy effective actions arising from string theory typically contain many scalar fields, some with a very complicated potential and others with no potential at all. The evolution of these scalars is of great interest. Their late time values have a direct impact on low energy observables, while their early universe dynamics can potentially source inflation or adversely affect big bang nucleosynthesis. Recently, classical and quantum methods for fixing the values of these scalars have been introduced. The purpose of this work is to explore moduli dynamics in light of these stabilization mechanisms. In particular, we explore a truncated low energy effective action that models the neighborhood of special points (or more generally loci) in moduli space, such as conifold points, where extra massless degrees of freedom arise. We find that the dynamics has a surprisingly rich structure - including the appearance of chaos - and we find a viable mechanism for trapping some of the moduli.

description: Studies on seasonal variation of births with Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs) such as mental retardation and autism have led to conflicting results. Various environmental factors, among which are maternal infection, nutritional deficiencies and temperature, are supposed to be involved with the seasonality effect. The present study investigates the hypothesis of seasonal variation of births in a sample of 483 children with mental retardation, 263 children with autism disorder and 152 children with Asperger syndrome. The control group was 261 children of typical development. Children with autism disorder and Asperger syndrome formed a common group, the ASD group. Data analysis for the group of children with mental retardation showed two elevated odds ratios of births during winter and summer periods. The ASD data analysis showed elevated birth rate in winter not only for ASD group of children in total but also for children with Asperger syndrome in the separate analysis that followed. Both, maternal immune disorders and nutrition in specific periods of pregnancy are under investigation regarding their role in increasing the risk of NDs incidents in offsprings.

description: The majority of the highest energy cosmic rays are thought to be electrically charged: protons or nuclei. Charged particles experience angular deflections as they pass through galactic and extra-galactic magnetic fields. As a consequence correlation of cosmic ray arrival directions with potential sources has proved to be difficult. This situation is not helped by current data samples where the number of cosmic rays/source are typically < O(1). Progress will be made when there are significantly larger data samples and perhaps with better catalogs of candidate sources. This paper reports a search for correlations between the RXTE catalog of nearby active galactic nuclei, AGNs, and the published list of ultra-high energy cosmic rays from the AGASA experiment. Although no statistically significant correlations were found, two correlations were observed between AGASA events and the most inclusive category of RXTE AGNs.

Αρχικά παρατίθεται μια ιστορική αναδρομή στον 20ο και 21ο αιώνα σχετικά με την εφαρμογή και τις επιπτώσεις της ευγονικής πολιτικής. Έπειτα αναλύονται βασικές έννοιες της βιοηθικής, όπως οι τέσσερις βασικές αρχές της, η έννοια του προσώπου στην έννομη και ηθική τάξη, καθώς και μια σειρά βασικών συνταγματικών μας δικαιωμάτων, όπως το δικαίωμα στην ελεύθερη ανάπτυξη της προσωπικότητάς μας και το δικαίωμα στην έρευνα. Όλες αυτές οι έννοιες σχολιάζονται σε σχέση με την ευγονική πολιτική. Στο τρίτο μέρος αναπτύσσονται σε δύο υποενότητες οι μορφές της ευγονικής, οι οποίες αντιστοιχούν σε ιατρικές πρακτικές. Η κάθε μία από αυτές σχολιάζεται σε σχέση με την ηθική και νομική αντιμετώπιση τους από την επιστημονική και εκκλησιαστική κοινότητα. Τέλος, ανακεφαλαιώνοντας, καταδεικνύεται ο ρόλος της Γενετικής τεχνολογίας, η οποία με την εξέλιξη της, αλλάζει μορφή στην ευγονική πολιτική, η οποία πλέον δηλώνει παρούσα και στον 21ο αιώνα με νέα μορφή.
description: The main object of the paper is about eugenics policy, each individual form from the moment that Francis Galton invented the term, their moral and legal assessment and the role of the Genetic technology in her development. At the beginning, is being cited a historical retrospection of the 20th and 21st century concerning the implementation and the consequences of eugenics policy. Moreover, are being analyzed some basic terms of bioethics, such as the four basic principles, the place of the concept person in a moral and legal perspective and a series of fundamental constitutional rights, such as the right of the liberal evolution of our personality and our right to the scientific research. All these concepts and terms are discussed in relation to eugenics policy. In the third part are being developed, under two subsections, the forms of eugenics policy, which correspond to medical practices. Each of these is being discussed in relation to the moral and legal response from the scientific and religious community. Finally, summarizing is demonstrated and highlighted the role of Genetic technology, which is changing the form of eugenics policy with her evolution through the years, stating present in the 21st century in a new form.

description: Pädosexualität wird seit Jahren medial sehr stark diskutiert, es gibt – auch in lesbisch, schwulen, bi-, intersexuellen, trans* und queeren (lsbtiq) Communitys – sehr kontroverse Auseinandersetzungen darum, wie Menschen mit pädosexueller Orientierung begegnet werden soll. Dabei bleibt oft ungenau, was unter Pädosexualität verstanden wird. Wir setzen deshalb bei Begriffsdefinitionen an und grenzen die Begriffe Pädosexualität, Pädophilie und sexualisierte Gewalt gegen Kinder und Jugendliche voneinander ab. Anschließend geben wir einen Überblick über die rechtliche Einordnung und die aktuelle Befundlage zu Handlungsmotiven der Täter*innen und gesundheitliche Folgen für Kinder und Jugendliche von sexualisierter Gewalt. Wir stellen außerdem den Stand der Forschung zum therapeutischen Umang mit Menschen mit pädosexueller Orientierung vor. Schließlich formulieren wir unsere Haltung als Fachkräfte aus der Psychologie: Pädosexuelle Handlungen sind unter keinen Umständen akzeptabel und legitimierbar. Therapieangebote für pädosexuell orientierte Menschen sollten ausgebaut werden. Die Finanzierung von psychotherapeutischen Angeboten für Menschen mit einer pädosexuellen Orientierung darf nicht in Konkurrenz gesetzt werden zur finanziellen Ausstattung von Beratungs- und Therapieangeboten für von sexualisierter Gewalt betroffene Menschen. Wir hoffen, mit unserem Positionspapier einen Beitrag zur Differenzierung der Diskussion in der Gesamtgesellschaft und den lsbtiq-Communitys zu leisten.

By means of temperature-dependent absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy, we show that optical emission is overwhelmingly dominated by weakly coupled H-aggregates. The relative absorbance of the 0-0 and 0-1 vibronic peaks provides a powerfully simple means to extract the magnitude of the intermolecular coupling energy, approximately 5 and 30 meV for films spun from isodurene and chloroform solutions respectively.

description: Magnetic resonance imaging, based on the manipulation and detection of nuclear spins, is a powerful imaging technique that typically operates on the scale of millimeters to microns. Using magnetic resonance force microscopy, we have demonstrated that magnetic resonance imaging of nuclear spins can be extended to a spatial resolution better than 100 nm. The two-dimensional imaging of 19F nuclei was done on a patterned CaF2 test object, and was enabled by a detection sensitivity of roughly 1200 nuclear spins. To achieve this sensitivity, we developed high-moment magnetic tips that produced field gradients up to 1.4x10^6 T/m, and implemented a measurement protocol based on force-gradient detection of naturally occurring spin fluctuations. The resulting detection volume of less than 650 zl represents 60,000x smaller volume than previous NMR microscopy and demonstrates the feasibility of pushing magnetic resonance imaging into the nanoscale regime.

Στα κεφάλαια που ακολουθούν παρουσιάζονται τα αδύνατα και τα δυνατά σημεία του κατασκευαστικού κλάδου στη χώρα μας. Επιπλέον, αναλύονται και ερμηνεύονται οι αριθμοδείκτες ρευστότητας, δραστηριότητας, αποδοτικότητας και κεφαλαιακής σύνθεσης και βιωσιμότητας για ένα συγκεκριμένο αριθμό τεχνικών εταιρειών έτσι ώστε να προκύψουν συμπεράσματα για τη θέση τους σε σχέση με τον υπόλοιπο κλάδο. Τέλος, παρατίθενται τα συμπεράσματα που εξάγονται από την προηγηθείσα ανάλυση και προτείνονται κάποια μέτρα αντιμετώπισης τόσο από την πλευρά της διοίκησης των τεχνικών εταιρειών όσο και από την πλευρά της πολιτείας μέσω της εφαρμοζόμενης πολιτικής
description: The subject of this thesis is the assessment of the financial situation of the companies of the Greek construction sector through the use of financial rations. Through the analysis conducted, it is possible to assess the development of the financial condition and the efficiency of a technical-construction company.The chapters that follow present the strengths and weaknesses of the construction sector in our country. Moreover, the financial ratios of liquidity, activity, profitability and the capital structure and viability for a specific number of technical companies are analyzed and interpreted in order to draw conclusions regarding their situation compared to the rest of the sector.Finally, the conclusions drawn from the preceding analysis are cited and some counter measures are suggested by the administration of the technical companies as well as by the government through its applied policies.
Investigation of an ion transport peptide in desert locust ventral ganglia
Creators: name: Bilgen, Tolga
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Previous observations have localised an antidiuretic peptide factor to the ventral ganglia (VG) of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria. Homogenates of VG increase active ion transport and fluid reabsorption across locust ilea in vitro. There is evidence to suggest that the VG peptide employs cAMP as a second messenger. As it is unstable at high temperatures and at low pH, the VG peptide is probably not Scg-ITP, an ileal transport peptide previously isolated from the corpora cardiaca (CC). Using a short-circuit current (Isc) bioassay, a direct measurement of active CI" transport across locust ilea, further characterization of the VG peptide was conducted. The peptide is unstable below pH 6.0 and loses all activity at pH 4.75. Extreme loss of activity under reducing conditions suggests the VG peptide requires intact disulfide bridges for its biological activity on assay. Reverse-phase cartridges and a high-performance chromatography column did not prove to be useful in purifying the VG peptide, owing to near complete losses of activity. Recovery of activity improved somewhat on anion-exchange cartridges, but results did not suggest useful separation of the peptide. Partial purification (36-fold increase in specific activity) of the VG peptide was accomplished using a combination of gravity-driven and high-performance size exclusion chromatography. These methods also provided an estimation of the peptide's molecular weight as 38 kDa.

description: We extend the notion of thin multiple Heegaard splittings of a link in a 3-manifold to take into consideration not only compressing disks but also cut-disks for the Heegaard surfaces. We prove that if H is a c-strongly compressible bridge surface for a link K contained in a closed orientable irreducible 3-manifold M then one of the following is satisfied: H is stabilized, H is meridionally stabilized, H is perturbed, a component of K is removable, M contains an essential meridional surface.

The immodest eye : liminality and the gaze in Joseph Strick’s The balcony
Creators: name: Burns, John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this thesis, I discuss Joseph Strick’s 1 963 film adaptation of Jean Genet’s Le balcon. Like the play, The Balcony emphasizes illusion, masquerade, pretence, mirrors; my thesis echoes Genet’s language as it constructs a framework out of the extended metaphor of the mirror. Chapter one charts the film’s critical reception, dividing reviewers into those who judge the film’s artistic quality and those who move beyond such specifics towards the larger question of cinematic adaptation. These writers position themselves (a twoway mirror?) between film and audience. Chapter two follows up with a discussion of adaptation theory, as it relates to the film, especially to the opening scenes’ divergence from the theatrical ‘original.’ Here, the film itself functions as a mirror, distorting Genet. Chapter three settles more squarely on the film itself, using theories of the gaze to identify the true positions of power which operate behind the Balcony’s reflective facade.
Maximum Absorption of the Global 21 cm Spectrum in the Standard Cosmological Model

description: The absorption feature in the global spectrum is likely the first 21 cm observable from the cosmic dawn, which provides valuable insights into the earliest history of structure formation. We run a set of high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations of early structure formation to assess the effect of non-linear structure formation on the maximum absorption level (i.e. assuming the spin temperature coupling is saturated) of the global 21 cm spectrum in the standard cosmological framework. We ignore the star formation and feedbacks, which also tends to reduce the absorption signal, but take into account the inevitable non-linear density fluctuations in the intergalactic medium (IGM), shock heating, and Compton heating, which can reduce the absorption level. We found that the combination of these reduced the maximum absorption signal by $\sim 15\%$ at redshift 17, as compared with the homogeneous or linearly fluctuating IGM. These effects have to be carefully accounted for when interpreting the observational results, especially when considering the necessity of introducing new physics.

The consistency equation hierarchy in single-field inflation models

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006

description: Inflationary consistency equations relate the scalar and tensor perturbations. We elucidate the infinite hierarchy of consistency equations of single-field inflation, the first of which is the well-known relation A_T^2/A_S^2 = -n_T/2 between the amplitudes and the tensor spectral index. We write a general expression for all consistency equations both to first and second-order in the slow-roll expansion. We discuss the relation to other consistency equations that have appeared in the literature, in particular demonstrating that the approximate consistency equation recently introduced by Chung and collaborators is equivalent to the second consistency equation of Lidsey et al. (1997).

description: We investigate the construction of improved actions by the Monte Carlo Renormalization Group method in the context of SU(2) gauge theory utilizing different decimation procedures and effective actions. We demonstrate that the basic self-consistency requirement for correct application of MCRG, i.e. that the decimated configurations are equilibrium configurations of the adopted form of the effective action, can only be achieved by careful fine-tuning of the choice of decimation prescription and/or action.

description: We present results from the XMM-Newton observation of the non-cooling flow cluster A1060. Large effective area of XMM-Newton enables us to investigate the nature of this cluster in unprecedented detail. From the observed surface brightness distribution, we have found that the gravitational mass distribution is well described by the NFW profile but with a central density slope of ~1.5. We have undoubtedly detected a radial temperature decrease of as large as ~30% from the center to the outer region (r ~13'), which seems much larger than that expected from the temperature profile averaged over nearby clusters. We have established that the temperature of the region ~7' southeast of the center is higher than the azimuthally averaged temperature of the same radius by ~20%. Since the pressure of this region already reaches equilibrium with the environment, the temperature structure can be interpreted as having been produced between 4*10^7 yr (the sound-crossing time) and 3*10^8 yr (the thermal conduction time) ago. We have found that the high-metallicity blob located at \~1.'5 northeast of NGC 3311 is more extended and its iron mass of 1.9*10^7 M_solar is larger by an order of magnitude than estimated from our Chandra observation. The amount of iron can still be considered as being injected solely from the elliptical galaxy NGC3311.

Modelling the impact behaviour of fibre reinforced composite materials
Creators: name: Pierson, Michael O.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Three analytical models describing the behaviour of composite targets under impact, and suitable for engineering applications are developed herein. Each model assumes that the impacting projectiles are rigid, and that the targets are fibre reinforced laminated plates. One model is concerned with the non-penetrating impact of hemispherical projectiles. A modal series solution which includes the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia is developed to describe the target deformations in this model. Another model predicts the penetration behaviour of blunt projectiles. Results of static penetration tests are used by this model to characterize the damage caused by impacting blunt projectiles. The third model describes the penetration due to impacting conical shaped projectiles. The progression of damage as it is described by Zhu et al [1992] is used as a basis for the characterization of damage in this model. Each model is compared with experimental results obtained from low velocity instrumented impact tests, and high velocity ballistic tests.
Robust optimal quantum gates for Josephson charge qubits

description: Quantum optimal control theory allows to design accurate quantum gates. We employ it to design high-fidelity two-bit gates for Josephson charge qubits in the presence of both leakage and noise. Our protocol considerably increases the fidelity of the gate and, more important, it is quite robust in the disruptive presence of 1/f noise. The improvement in the gate performances discussed in this work (errors of the order of 10^{-3}-10^{-4} in realistic cases) allows to cross the fault tolerance threshold.

Towards a theoretical description of molecular junctions in the Coulomb blockade regime based on density functional theory

description: Non-equilibrium Greens function techniques (NEGF) combined with Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have become a standard tool for the description of electron transport through single molecule nano-junctions in the coherent tunneling regime. However, the applicability of these methods for transport in the Coulomb blockade (CB) regime is still under debate. We present here NEGF-DFT calculations performed on simple model systems in the presence of an effective gate potential. The results show that: i) the CB addition energies can be predicted with such an approach with reasonable accuracy; ii) neither the magnitude of the Kohn-Sham gap nor the lack of a derivative discontinuity in the exchange-correlation functional represent a problem for this purpose.

description: Strain induced spin-splitting is observed and characterized using pump-probe Kerr rotation spectroscopy in n-ZnSe epilayers grown on GaAs substrates. The spin-splitting energies are mapped out as a function of pump-probe separation, applied voltage, and temperature in a series of samples of varying epilayer thicknesses and compressive strain arising from epilayer-substrate lattice mismatch. The strain is independently quantified using photoluminescence and x-ray diffraction measurements. We observe that the magnitude of the spin splitting increases with applied voltage and temperature, and is highly crystal direction dependent, vanishing along [1 1-bar 0].
