description: We study the non equilibrium time evolution of an integrable field theory in 1+1 dimensions after a sudden variation of a global parameter of the Hamiltonian. For a class of quenches defined in the text, we compute the long times limit of the one point function of a local operator as a series of form factors. Even if some subtleties force us to handle this result with care, there is a strong evidence that for long times the expectation value of any local operator can be described by a generalized Gibbs ensemble with a different effective temperature for each eigenmode.

Information retrieval and web search

description: The Internet has provided today’s students with “history’s greatest library” (Worzel, 2012, p. 9). It is in their homes, their schools and frequently even in their pockets. Yet this powerful educational tool with its almost infinite opportunities, it has been argued, is going largely under-utilized where “many learners struggle to find information in this overwhelming information environment” (Eagleton & Guinee, 2002, p. 7). Many studies have examined a skill-deficit exhibited by young adolescents when using online search engines. Little is known, however, about the potential benefits of exposing students to explicit search engines skills, nor their desire for such exposure and the way they view their role when conducting searches online. Using mixed methods within a pragmatic framework, the current study explores the degree to which exposure to explicit skills for using search engines affects young adolescents’ online searching? It also seeks to provide a better understanding of any skill deficits present and the potential for improved searching by analyzing students’ online searching behaviours through a semiotic lens. This study discusses the participants’ poor searching abilities in light of their lack of previous exposure to such skills, as well as a misplaced confidence in their existing skillset. It reveals a tendency on the students’ behalf to view their role as passive and subordinate when conducting online searches, and a reluctance to change this view despite exposure to explicit skills. In addition, the research reveals the impact time, and student perception of time, has on their searching behaviors. Finally, the study’s findings that young adolescents are willing to change, and attempt to improve, their searching behaviours post such exposure justifies further research in this area. As does the suggestion that “by teaching students how to be more skillful Web navigators […] we increase the effectiveness of the Web as a resource” (Henry, 2006, p. 625).

Channel geometry of mountain streams
Creators: name: Day, Terence James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Channel networks in the glaciated mountain basins of Coastal and southern interior British Columbia (Ashnola River Basin) offer opportunities for morphometric studies relating the parameters of the flow area (A) - discharge (Q) relationship to readily available channel and basin parameters. Steady flow conditions in rough channels are approximated by equations of the form A = a[formula omitted]Q[formula omitted] . The parameters, a[formula omitted] and b[formula omitted], vary individually with each channel and are related to channel dimensions; a[formula omitted] = .94 W[formula omitted]·⁴⁷ and b[formula omitted] = .3 W[formula omitted]·¹⁷. These results are independent of climate and under normal conditions give excellent predictions of the Q-A relations for rough channels in both regions. The systematic variation of channel dimensions within a basin are related to drainage area:W[formula omitted] = 3.7 DA·[formula omitted] for coastal basins and W[formula omitted] = 1.3 DA[formula omitted] for Ashnola basins. The influence of climate is reflected in the constants, with areas of higher precipitation having larger constants. Drainage area can replace W[formula omitted]: a[formula omitted] = 1.74 DA[formula omitted] and b[formula omitted] = .37 DA[formula omitted]. These relations are applicable only within a climatically homogeneous region. In rough channels the Q-A relations are considered independent of slope, a result of energy dissipation through frequent hydraulic jumps. The hydromorphological equations developed here are valid only for rough channels where tumbling flow predominates.

description: A general new technique to solve the two-center problem with arbitrarily-orientated deformed realistic potentials is demonstrated, which is based on the powerful potential separable expansion method. As an example, molecular single-particle spectra for $^{12}$C + $^{12}$C $\to$ $^{24}$Mg are calculated using deformed Woods-Saxon potentials. These clearly show that non-axial symmetric configurations play a crucial role in molecular resonances observed in reaction processes for this system at low energy.

In this paper we give conditions under which S is faithfully flat, or even free, as a B-module. We also show that B is generated as an algebra by certain elements arising from the theory of polynomial identities for comodule algebras developped jointly with Aljadeff.

Mullus barbatus

description: This study was aimed at identifying the food web of the red mullet, Mullus barbatus
 in order to understand how it is affected by trawling disturbance. To achieve
 this objective: a) the main features of the red mullet habitat were investigated; b) the
 food web of this habitat was studied in two no-trawl areas and in two areas open to
 trawling.
 The working hypothesis is that trawling affects the biochemistry of the sediment and
 the trophic structure of the benthic assemblage. It was predicted: a) less biomass,
 smaller size and higher production rate in the benthic assemblages of protected gulfs;
 b) higher average trophic level for both the red mullet and its predators in protected
 gulfs; c) a diet shift driven by the mechanical disturbance of trawling.
 The results achieved confirmed our hypotheses and allowed us to characterize for
 the first time the trophic web structure in the red mullet habitat in the study area.
 Results also allowed us to compare the trophic level of red mullet of different sizes
 using two independent techniques, stable isotopes of nitrogen and gut contents. The
 average trophic level of the red mullet was higher and the energy consumption per
 unit of biomass larger in the protected gulfs. Species with a trophic level higher than
 the red mullet and therefore its potential predators were few and the most important
 were the white grouper, Epinephelus aeneus, the pandora, Pagellus erythrinus and
 the common torpedo, Torpedo torpedo.

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Symbolic Computation (cs.SC)

description: We present a new algorithm for isolating the real roots of a system of multivariate polynomials, given in the monomial basis. It is inspired by existing subdivision methods in the Bernstein basis; it can be seen as generalization of the univariate continued fraction algorithm or alternatively as a fully analog of Bernstein subdivision in the monomial basis. The representation of the subdivided domains is done through homographies, which allows us to use only integer arithmetic and to treat efficiently unbounded regions. We use univariate bounding functions, projection and preconditionning techniques to reduce the domain of search. The resulting boxes have optimized rational coordinates, corresponding to the first terms of the continued fraction expansion of the real roots. An extension of Vincent's theorem to multivariate polynomials is proved and used for the termination of the algorithm. New complexity bounds are provided for a simplified version of the algorithm. Examples computed with a preliminary C++ implementation illustrate the approach.

The type IIA backgrounds include D6-branes, and the dual N=2 quiver gauge theories contain chiral flavors. We provide a general recipe to derive the geometric moduli space of flavored versions of Abelian toric quiver gauge theories. The CY4 cone is reproduced thanks to a non-trivial quantum F-term relation between diagonal monopole operators and bifundamental fields. We find new field theory duals to many geometries, including Q111.

Demand for labour and unemployment : Canada's Maritime Provinces
Creators: name: Glyde, Gerald Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In Canada, as in most other industrial countries, concern is expressed over the existence of regional unemployment imbalances. If these imbalances were quickly alleviated, by action of labor and capital markets, there would be no regional problem. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Not only do regional unemployment differentials exist, but, more importantly, they tend to exist in spite of migration. This phenomenon suggests that, in the depressed region, there is some exogenous change, declining export demand, taking place concurrently with net out-migration. In addition, net out-migration itself reduces employment levels to some extent in the loser region. Changes in the demand for labor in a region are related to: changes in the export demand for its commodities which form the employment base; and changes in population size resulting from regional mobility. This relationship is essentially founded in a type of multiplier relation between the employment base of a region and its total employment. In this paper a model is developed from which the above theoretical relationship can be empirically investigated. Debate on policy measures for reducing regional unemployment, industrial location and mobility policies, have proceeded largely without knowledge of relative magnitudes. For a more objective approach we need estimates of regional multipliers. With this information we would be better equipped to judge the employment effects of out-migration and changes in export demand on depressed regions. The estimation technique used in this paper is cross-sectional multiple regression analysis. The counties of the Maritime Region serve as the population sample for the analysis. Data comes mainly from the Censuses of 1951 and 1961; both provide considerable information for such series as employment by industry and changes in population due to migration. It is concluded from the analysis carried out in this paper that emigration does indeed contain a de-stabilizing element for the loser region, in the form of income depression. We cannot expect out-migration of the unemployed to reduce unemployment on a one for one basis. Also, the regional employment multiplier may be larger in the case of declines in the employment base than for increases in it. The results suggest that mobility policy and industrial location policy may not reduce regional unemployment as quickly as we might suppose, a priori.
Conditional cash transfer program and women's empowerment: a case study in the Sidi Bouabdelli-Tiznit province, Morocco
Creators: name: Ben Haman, Omar
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Applied sociology, program evaluation and social impact assessment

description: Conditional cash transfer programs (CCTs) or Tayssir have become the most popular government welfare paradigm for Morocco in this new millennium. The main objective of these programs is to lower poverty levels within a short-term period by distributing cash and improving school attendance. This study addresses the relationship between CCTs and planned social inclusion-promoting social development objectives in rural areas of Morocco. Specifically, this study aims to understand how Tayssir. develops social inclusion by exploring three themes: firstly, how Tayssir creates social spaces for women’s empowerment; secondly, how it addresses issues in children welfare; and finally how it encourages the participation of children in rural primary schools. The qualitative research, which was conducted between May to July 2017, utilised a case study methodology that involved mothers, between the ages of 33 and 65 years, from rural villages who benefited from CCTs. The research was carried out using a participant-observation approach, and by conducting in-depth interviews with respondents. The study found that CCTs had promoted increased empowerment for rural women, particularly in terms of mobility and accessibility. Besides this, the financial assistance which was transferred to women motivated rural children to attend school. Furthermore, the study discovered that cash transfers were solely spent on school expenditure, thus indicating that CCTs contributed to improving child welfare. However, despite the positive effects of Tayssir, some negative aspects were observed, such as the curbing of women’s participation in CCTs due to cultural barriers. The gap between school attendance and performance was also evinced in this qualitative research. Thus, this research raises some questions for development planning on the issue of social inclusion. Among these questions are the effectiveness of cash transfer programs in addressing women’s empowerment, children welfare, and school participation as well as the question of sustainability beyond state support. CCTs as a mechanism for social inclusion is important, however there is still much that can be learned from it. The findings will serve as a future reference on the subject of social policy, development studies, and gender studies. Also, policy-makers and bureaucrats can build on this body of knowledge by looking at the short-term effects of CCTs on women and their relation to community development.

Lett. 93, 135701 (2004)] in a Kob-Andersen binary Lennard-Jones liquid system consisting of 8788 particles. We compute the spatial correlation function of the dynamic propensity as a function of both the reduced temperature T, and the time scale on which the particle displacements are measured. For T\leq0.6, we find that nonzero correlations occur at the largest length scale accessible in our system. We also show that a cluster-size analysis of particles with extremal values of the dynamic propensity, as well as 3D visualizations, reveal spatially correlated regions that approach the size of our system as T decreases, consistent with the behavior of the spatial correlation function. Next, we define and examine the "coordination propensity", the isoconfigurational average of the coordination number of the minority B particles around the majority A particles. We show that a significant correlation exists between the spatial fluctuations of the dynamic and coordination propensities. In addition, we find non-zero correlations of the coordination propensity occurring at the largest length scale accessible in our system for all T in the range 0.466

description: We use high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamical AMR simulations to predict the characteristics of La emission from the cold gas streams that fed galaxies in massive haloes at high redshift. The La luminosity in our simulations is powered by the release of gravitational energy as gas flows from the intergalactic medium into the halo potential wells. The UV background contributes only <20% to the gas heating. The La emissivity is due primarily to electron-impact excitation cooling radiation in gas ~2x10^4K. We calculate the La emissivities assuming collisional ionisation equilibrium (CIE) at all gas temperatures. The simulated streams are self-shielded against the UV background, so photoionisation and recombination contribute negligibly to the La line formation. We produce theoretical maps of the La surface brightnesses, assuming that ~85% of the La photons are directly observable. We find that typical haloes of mass Mv~10^12-13 Msun at z~3 emit as La blobs (LABs) with luminosities 10^43-44 erg/s. Most of the La comes from the extended narrow, partly clumpy, inflowing, cold streams that feed the growing galaxies. The predicted LAB morphology is therefore irregular, with dense clumps and elongated extensions. The linewidth is expected to range from 10^2 to more than 10^3 km/s with a large variance. The typical La surface brightness profile is proportional to r^-1.2 where r is the distance from the halo centre. Our simulated LABs are similar in luminosity, morphology and extent to the observed LABs, with distinct kinematic features. The predicted La luminosity function is consistent with observations, and the predicted areas and linewidths roughly recover the observed scaling relations. This mechanism for producing LABs appears inevitable in many high-z galaxies. Some of the LABs may thus be regarded as direct detections of the cold streams that drove galaxy evolution at high z.

description: The frequency of chromosome breaks was increased in replicate cultures from each of ten individuals when lysergic acid diethylamide at a concentration of 1 ug/ml of culture was added 24 hours prior to the harvest of the cells. The differences between the control and treated cultures ranged from +3.00 to +7.93 with a mean of +4.63, indicating no variation in response between individuals. The breaks were randomly distributed among the seven groups of chromosomes of the complement. No significant difference in either the number of cells with aberrations, or the number of breakage events was observed between cells cultured from a patient with Fanconi's anaemia before and 24 hours after treatment with 250 ug. of growth hormone. Both were significantly increased over the control. After treatment with growth hormone, the number of breaks per aberrant cell was decreased, and the distribution of frequencies of specific types of aberrations was changed. Non-homologous exchange figures were the only two break events observed in cultures from the patient. None were observed in control cells. The distribution of breaks among the seven groups of chromosomes was random. The frequency of chromosome aberrations was increased in cultures from a single individual when treated with 1 ug/ml of mitomycin-C for one hour at the beginning of the culture period. In the treated cultures, 181 breaks were observed in 64 of the 100 cells examined, whereas only 5 breaks were observed in three of the 100 cells scored in the control samples. Forty-seven exchange configurations were observed in the treated cultures, 42.56% of these being non-homologous exchanges. No marker or dicentric chromosomes were observed. Breaks were randomly distributed among the seven groups of chromosomes of the complement.

description: Model calculations that include the effects of irreversible, environmental couplings on top of a coupled-channels dynamical description of the collision of two complex nuclei are presented. The Liouville-von Neumann equation for the time-evolution of the density matrix of a dissipative system is solved numerically providing a consistent transition from coherent to decoherent (and dissipative) dynamics during the collision. Quantum decoherence and dissipation are clearly manifested in the model calculations. Energy dissipation, due to the irreversible decay of giant-dipole vibrational states of the colliding nuclei, is shown to result in a hindrance of quantum tunneling and fusion.

description: Training in the Industrial Vocational High schools as a part of Vocational and Technical Education varies among different departments like computer Technology, Electrics and Electronics, Machine Design, Wooden Technology, Metal and Technics and lastly Automotive. Since analytical approach is essential for industrial education, mathematics is of vital importance. However, mathematics is considered as a difficult lesson by the students of industrial vocational high school and it has an effect on the attitudes of these learners towards Math as well as on to their success in this lesson. For this manner, the present study adopted a different method (Problem-based learning) expecting to change the attitude and perception of the learners who have been educated in traditional methods. In problem-based learning, learning objectives are given by the means of scenarios which have been fictionalised about a problem and adapted to the real-life situations. Learners are expected to solve the problems in the scenarios by using thier own experiences and by making researches about the subject. It is assumed that the learners of industrial vocational high school who have applied training of field topics (should) be responsible for their learning and it (should) increase both their success in Math and their attitude toward Math. The design of the research is experimental, 2x3 split-plot. The study was conducted during the 2007-2008 academic year, second semester, at a mid socioeconomic level school in the province of Ankara. 54 of the high school learners participated the study. In the research, the learners were equally distributed to the control and experimental groups. While Problem-based learning approach was employed in the expermental group, traditional approach was employed in the control group. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected. The Achievement Tests about Natural and Whole Number in Math and The Mathoriented Attitude Scale were used to collect the quantitative data. The Learner Views Detection Form and Self-Evaluation Form were used to collect qualitative data. The data collected were analyzed via two-factor ANOVA, content analysis, Percent Frequency and T-Test techniques. Based on the data gathered in this study it can be said that the problembased learning approach has contributed to the improvement of the learners’ success and attitude towards the concept of mathematics. The qualitative data analysis has revealed that learners in the experiment group have had a positive attitude towards problem-based approach and that their self-evaluation results have been increasing in terms of percentage steadily.

A universal sequence of integers generating balanced Steinhaus figures modulo an odd number

Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)

description: In this paper, we partially solve an open problem, due to J.C. Molluzzo in 1976, on the existence of balanced Steinhaus triangles modulo a positive integer $n$, that are Steinhaus triangles containing all the elements of $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ with the same multiplicity. For every odd number $n$, we build an orbit in $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$, by the linear cellular automaton generating the Pascal triangle modulo $n$, which contains infinitely many balanced Steinhaus triangles. This orbit, in $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$, is obtained from an integer sequence called the universal sequence. We show that there exist balanced Steinhaus triangles for at least $2/3$ of the admissible sizes, in the case where $n$ is an odd prime power. Other balanced Steinhaus figures, such as Steinhaus trapezoids, generalized Pascal triangles, Pascal trapezoids or lozenges, also appear in the orbit of the universal sequence modulo $n$ odd. We prove the existence of balanced generalized Pascal triangles for at least $2/3$ of the admissible sizes, in the case where $n$ is an odd prime power, and the existence of balanced lozenges for all admissible sizes, in the case where $n$ is a square-free odd number.

A Liverpool of self ; a study of Lowry's fiction other than Under the volcano
Creators: name: Benham, David Stanley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis is an investigation of a group of central themes which run through Lowry”s work; it centres on such key-words as 'isolation', 'alienation', and 'self-absorption'. Lowry's protagonists are seen as men trapped in "a Liverpool of self"; they are characteristically torn between a desire to escape from their prison and a desire to remain in it. Although Lowry invests his self-absorbed heroes with a certain splendour, fulfilment only comes to them when they become capable of reaching beyond themselves and entering into community with another. In the Introduction, I have briefly reviewed Lowry's early life and works. We can find, in his insecure childhood and in his obsessive identification with Conrad Aiken and Nordahl Grieg, evidence of his own alienation; the search for a stable human relationship is central to even his earliest work. Chapter I is a discussion of Lunar Caustic; I distinguish between the two major versions of this book, finding in each a distinct aspect of the search for relationship. The chapter concludes with some observations on the probably structure of The Voyage That Never Ends as Lowry first conceived it. After his second marriage in 1940, the relationship between man and wife became, for Lowry, the prototype of the community which his protagonists seek. In Chapter 2 I discuss Dark as the Grave Wherein My Friend Is Laid and La Mordida, in which the marriage relationship is central. Chapter 2 concludes with an analysis of Sigbjørn Wilderness' 'metaphysical alienation'; Chapter 3 traces the cyclical pattern of Hear Us 0 Lord From Heaven Thy Dwelling Place in terms of the constant struggle to break down the distinction between the inner world of the mind and the outer 'real' world. In "The Element Follows You Around, Sir!" and "Ghostkeeper" we see this 'real' world itself in the throes of a kind of nervous breakdown; in Chapter 4 I attempt to find the meaning of these puzzling stories, and conclude that, like the rest of Lowry's work, they affirm the necessity of the individual to find himself in relation to others.

description: Understanding the implications of SL(2,Z) S-duality for the hypermultiplet moduli space of type II string theories has led to much progress recently in uncovering D-instanton contributions. In this work, we suggest that the extended duality group SL(3,Z), which includes both S-duality and Ehlers symmetry, may determine the contributions of D5 and NS5-branes. We support this claim by automorphizing the perturbative corrections to the "extended universal hypermultiplet", a five-dimensional universal SL(3,R)/SO(3) subspace which includes the string coupling, overall volume, Ramond zero-form and six-form and NS axion. Using the non-Abelian Fourier expansion of the Eisenstein series attached to the principal series of SL(3,R), first worked out by Vinogradov and Takhtajan 30 years ago, we extract the contributions of D(-1)-D5 and NS5-brane instantons, corresponding to the Abelian and non-Abelian coefficients, respectively. In particular, the contributions of k NS5-branes can be summarized into a vector of wave functions Ψ_{k,l}, l=0... k-1, as expected on general grounds. We also point out that for more general models with a symmetric moduli space G/K, the minimal theta series of G generates an infinite series of exponential corrections of the form required for "small" D(-1)-D1-D3-D5-NS5 instanton bound states. As a mathematical spin-off, we make contact with earlier results in the literature about the spherical vectors for the principal series of SL(3,R) and for minimal representations.
