description: We have used high-resolution, HST WFC3/IR, near-infrared imaging to conduct a detailed bulge-disk decomposition of the morphologies of ≃ 200 of the most massive (M * > 1011 M⊙) galaxies at 1 < z < 3 in the CANDELS-UDS field. We find that, while such massive galaxies at low redshift are generally bulge-dominated, at redshifts 1 2 they are mostly disk-dominated. Interestingly, we find that while most of the quiescent galaxies are bulge dominated, a significant fraction (25–40%) of the most quiescent galaxies, have disk-dominated morphologies. Thus, our results suggest that the physical mechanisms which quench star-formation activity are not simply connected to those responsible for the morphological transformation of massive galaxies.

description: The works of portuguese poet Adília Lopes, in her bio-graphy, appears as a demonstration of one life in the deleuzean meaning that through language distorts the discursive structures of power in our contemporaneity. In her, the issue of biopolitics, brought by Foucault, arises as thematic of her texts, but is also in the poem´s textual tension itself. Life is brought to poetry to the point of deformity. It is the intensity of a life itself that contaminates the poem and places poetry as institution into question.

The electromagnetic modelling and optimization of planar holographic antennas
Creators: name: Sooriyadevan, Pradiv
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Antennas based on holographic principles are attractive at millimetre wave frequencies because of their potentially relatively high directivity and low profile. Most published design work on planar holographic antennas has been based on approximate expressions and experimental experience. Little attempt appears to have made to use some computational electromagnetics approach to model these antennas. Thus no numerical optimization has been possible. One aspect that makes the modeling/optimization process difficult is that such planar holographic antennas are electrically large. For instance, in the case of a holographic antenna of directivity 18 dBi, the combined length of the conducting strips on the antennas can be more than 100lambda 0. In this thesis we formulate and implement a two-dimensional electromagnetic analysis that allows one to determine the H-plane radiation characteristics of the holographic antenna. This analysis consists of an integral equation formulation for a line source illuminating a structure consisting of conducting strips and dielectric material, plus feedhorn walls, and its solution using the method of moments. We demonstrate how it can be applied in the modeling of the holographic antennas in question. It is possible to model the holographic antenna's feedhorn, the holographic antenna proper, and its interaction with the feedhorn. In addition, we have integrated the electromagnetic analysis with numerical optimization algorithms, and show what antenna geometries (such as the distribution of conducting strip widths) are obtruded by such algorithms as being optimum in some sense. Experimental validation is provided, and shows that it is possible to improve the gain of the holographic antenna by up to roughly 2 dB.
Mapping the genome of Sulfolobus solfataricus P2.
Creators: name: Young, Felix M.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: The goal of this project was to construct a contig map of the 3.0 +/- 0.1 Mbp genome of the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus P2. This high resolution physical map would guide the DNA sequencing of the entire genome on a cosmid-by-cosmid strategy. 60 to 70% of the genome has been cloned into cosmids which have been linked into 31 contigs by the landmark strategy and chromosome walking. The lack of coverage of the entire genome by cosmid clones may be the result of the incompatibility of the A-T rich DNA of S. solfataricus P2 with the Escherichia coli host system. The identification of insertion sequence elements in this archaeal genome suggests that it may be unstable. Attempts have been made to generate an integrated contig/macrorestriction map because of the lack of genome coverage by the cosmid clones, but this effort has been unsuccessful because of unreliable hybridization results and a lack of suitable restriction enzymes. This cosmid library will be supplemented by $\lambda$ phage clones with PCR for the final few pieces for complete coverage of the genome of S. solfataricus P2 so that DNA sequencing can be completed.

description: The Sigma-54 Promoter Database contains computationally predicted sigma-54 promoters from over 60 prokaryotic species. Organisms from all major phyla were analysed and results were made available online at http://www.sigma54.ca. This database is particularly unique due to its inclusion of intragenic regions, grouping of data by COG and COG category, and the ability to summarize results either by phylum or database-wide. ClusterMine360 (http://www.clustermine360.ca/) is a database of microbial polyketide and nonribosomal peptide gene clusters. It takes advantage of crowd-sourcing by allowing members of the community to make contributions while automation is used to help achieve high data consistency and quality. The database currently has over 200 gene clusters from over 185 compound families. It also features a unique sequence repository containing over 10,000 PKS/NRPS domains. The sequences are filterable and downloadable as individual or multiple sequence FASTA files. This database will be a useful resource for members of the PKS/NRPS research community enabling them to keep up with the growing number of sequenced gene clusters and rapidly mine these clusters for functional information.

description: Tarántula – which alternates prose poetry and free verse – by Bob Dylan, develops in many ways a transgressive writing. Dated between 1965 and 1966, goes beyond the poststructuralism premises, and against the market law, which Deleuze pointed out as the main power in our globalized world almost thirty years later. It’s also remarkable how Dylan’s text puts over the surface of the imperial English of USA another text written in capital letters (the Spanish of Hispanic immigrants) and thus reversing the hierarchy between dominant and dominated languages. The Spanish translation, published in Madrid 2007, contradicts those textual strategies, obeying instead the law of the editorial market. In contrast, Dylan’s writing  as well as his interviews (a consistent pre-text for his artistic work), defends against colonization a notion of America linked to the native people: a territory therefore with  linguistic and political frontiers in nomadic movement.

Keywords: Translation, poetry, official language, dominated language, market.

El libro Tarántula, de Bob Dylan – que alterna prosa poética y poesía en verso – se presenta en muchos sentidos como transgresor. Escrito entre 1965 y 1966 adelanta los lineamientos posestructuralistas y juega contra las leyes del mercado, que  Deleuze denunciaría como dominantes en nuestra sociedad de capitalismo globalizado, más de treinta años después. Observamos también  cómo el inglés imperial de Estados Unidos es cribado en el texto de Dylan por la lengua dominada de los hispanohablantes inmigrantes, inscribiendo una lengua menor en el interior de la dominante: dichas incrustaciones aparecen en letras mayúsculas sobresalientes en la superficie del texto para el ojo del lector, invirtiendo así la relación jerárquica de fuerzas. La traducción del libro publicada en España en el 2007 contradice esas operaciones, poniéndose al servicio de las ley del mercado editorial. En ese sentido, la escritura de Dylan y su posición en las entrevistas (un consistente pre-texto teórico), reniega de la dominación colonizadora para defender una noción de América ligada a la población nativa indígena y, por ende, de fronteras lingüísticas y políticas nómades.

Novel clustering and classification algorithms for big data
Creators: name: Ghosh, Debopriya
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: This dissertation studies two important problems that arise in the analysis of Big Data: high dimensionality and massive size of pertinent samples. In Chapter 1, we developed three novel algorithms for clustering and classification of Big Data. First, a novel two-way clustering approach that combines model-based and weighted K-means clustering methods. The two-way approach results in smaller subgroups of binary features that are of size p or less, so that the possible number of patterns is small enough to be efficiently handled by traditional clustering algorithms. This approach can also handle weighted reduced data to scale on massive sample sizes. In Chapter 2, we derived a weighted probabilistic distance-based clustering technique adjusted for cluster sizes. Chapter 3 introduces an ensemble method called Enriched Random Forest for high dimensional data (where n << p, n is the number of observations and p are the features). This algorithm can address situations where the dimension is very high but only a very small fraction of these features is truly informative.
Essays on asset pricing in markets with law-related imperfections
Creators: name: Davis, Yehuda
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: This dissertation consists of two essays on the effects of legal frictions on asset prices. The first essay comprises the derivation of a theoretical valuation of tax deductions with fixed upper bounds. There are numerous examples in practice where the taxpayer, corporations, or individuals are constrained by tax laws that disallow tax deductions beyond a fixed limit. Typical examples would be the upper bound on State and Local Tax deductions for individuals introduced recently in 2018, and Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code that imposes a ceiling on tax deductions stemming from the losses of acquired corporations. Despite the ubiquity of such tax frictions, there is very little in the academic literature on the impact of these on the consumption-investment decisions and asset prices. We develop a Consumption Capital Asset Pricing Model (CCAPM) where a risk averse investor makes consumption investment decisions in the presence of taxes, but faces fixed legal limits on tax deductions, and show the modifications required of the traditional CCAPM model without frictions, including the well-known Hansen-Jagannathan bound. Interestingly, it turns out that under certain conditions, increasing the tax deduction limit actually reduces investment in risky assets. In the second essay, we investigate the stock and option market reactions to events in the United States Supreme Court (SC) relating to cases where at least one party involved is a public firm. Typically, cases that reach the SC level would have passed through multiple lower courts. Consequently, much of the information content of these cases would be publicly known and priced by the financial markets. If the market has perfectly anticipated that the SC would grant (a rare event) the writ of certiorari (accept a case), the tone of the subsequent legal arguments, and the final decision, then there should be no reaction to any of these events, as and when they unfold. Using a comprehensive dataset of more than 500 cases, we find that the stock market reacts to both the grant of certiorari and to the announcement of the final decision, suggesting that the stock market could not predict the SC actions. We also find that specific case characteristics, such as parties involved, the type of legal issue, and press coverage explain some of the cross-sectional variations in the stock returns across cases. Our tests also indicate that there is no information leakage prior to the events, and no stock price drift after the events. However, we find that the option market anticipates the final decision as early as the date certiorari is granted, reinforcing the theory that smart money comes early to the option market.

description: This research examines the integration of electronic book (e-book) technology within an academic library. The University of Ottawa library is explored as a qualitative case study. The perceptions of use and communication pertaining to e-book adoption from the perspectives of students, faculty members, and librarians are combined with other documentation to provide a comprehensive examination of the case. Rogers (1962; 2003) Diffusion of Innovations provides the theoretical framework to guide the study and structure its analysis. Main findings revealed the following: (1) participants preferred print books, (2) inadequate communication occurred between students, faculty members, and librarians, and (3) information literacy training initiatives were insufficiently standardized. This study contributes to communication research by examining adoption of e-book technology and the spread of ideas within a social environment. It also furthers Diffusion of Innovations by confirming that even when individuals acknowledge advantages of a communication technology, it is not necessarily adopted.

description: A variant of the Muensterberg or Café Wall illusion, where rectangles appear wedge-shaped, has been investigated. In contrast to the classic design with parallel rows of alternating black and white tiles, all rectangles were patterned in the same way, each of them being shaded symmetrically from light to dark and back to light again and surrounded by a contour line. It was investigated how the intensity of the illusion depends on 1) on the hue of the contour line, 2) on its line width, and 3) on the distance of observation. As a result, it was found that the illusion gains its maximum at a hue of the contour line of 40% grey and a line width considerably less than 1 minute of arc (= 2.91·10^-^4 rad). This interpreted as due to diffraction. The intensity of the illusion is plotted versus the logarithm of the line width and a lognormal function is fitted to the results.

description: This article considers the main reviews and criticisms that have been posed, mainly during the last two decades, to the attention of the experts in the field of teaching systems in the graduate schools of business administration. The main statement is that we can outline the features that will be relevant for a substantial part of the future ruling and business class in Latin America and its own historical, social and economic context. This is possible by taking into account and making a synthesis of the outstanding criticisms and debates posed by different schools of thought, paying special attention to the essential relation of the academic world with the business sector - that is to say with the “practice” of business administration that has been constantly stemming away from the corresponding theory and academic background.

Keywords: Business administration, MBA system, teaching, theory, Latin America.

El presente artículo considera las principales críticas que, en las últimas dos décadas principalmente, se han impuesto a la atención de los expertos en sistemas de enseñanza de los posgrados en administración de empresas. El planteamiento principal es que, al tener en cuenta y hacer una síntesis de las principales críticas y debates avanzados por diferentes escuelas de pensamiento y al considerar fundamental la relación de la misma academia con el sector empresarial, es decir con “la práctica” de la administración cada vez más alejada de la teoría, se pueden esbozar los rasgos que, en el peculiar contexto histórico, social y económico de América Latina, resultarán relevantes para una parte sustancial de la futura clase dirigente del subcontinente.

Gone with the Wind: What Composers Learn from Creating Music for Young Musicians

description: Contemporary Canadian music is rarely performed and studied in school music programs (Bartel, Dolloff, & Shand, 1999; Shand & Bartel, 1998; Varahidis, 2012) and post-secondary institutions (Andrews & Carruthers, 2004; Carruthers, 2000). This is primarily because the music of modern professional composers is inaccessible to students (Andrews, 2004; Bowden, 2010). In other words, composers are trained in such a way that their pieces are only playable by professionals for specialized audiences (Hatrik, 2002; Colgrass, 2004; Terauds, 2011). This study examines what eight wind-composers learned from writing educational music for young musicians. Using a narrative framework, grounded in John Dewey’s theory of learning as expressed by Clandinin and Connelly (2000), data was collected through interviews. These were then interpreted and analyzed with the aid of the composers’ biographies and questionnaires. Four story categories emerged from the data regarding how to write pedagogically valid educational music: 1) The composer must desire to compose technically appropriate, challenging and enjoyable music for young musicians; 2) The composer must collaborate and have direct contact with students; 3) The composer must have a working knowledge of the instruments; and 4) The composer and teachers can use the Music Complexity Chart (MC²) as numerous benefits are associated with it.

description: The thesis focuses on the social web and on the analysis of social networks with particular emphasis on their temporal aspects. Social networks are represented here by Time Varying Graphs (TVG), a general model for dynamic graphs borrowed from distributed computing. In the first part of the thesis we focus on the temporal aspects of social networks. We develop various temporal centrality measures for TVGs including betweenness, closeness, and eigenvector centralities, which are well known in the context of static graphs. Unfortunately the computational complexities of these temporal centrality metrics are not comparable with their static counterparts. For example, the computation of betweenness becomes intractable in the dynamic setting. For this reason, approximation techniques will also be considered. We apply these temporal measures to two very different datasets, one in the context of knowledge mobilization in a small community of university researchers, the other in the context of Facebook commenting activities among a large number of web users. In both settings, we perform a temporal analysis so to understand the importance of the temporal factors in the dynamics of those networks and to detect nodes that act as “accelerators”. In the second part of the thesis, we focus on a more standard static graph representation. We conduct a propagation study on YouTube datasets to understand and compare the propagation dynamics of two different types of users: subscribers and friends. Finally, we conclude the thesis with the proposal of a general framework to present, in a comprehensive model, the influence of the social web on e-commerce decision making.

description: We study the global efficiency of star formation in high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of gas discs embedded in isolated early-type and spiral galaxies. Despite using a universal local law to form stars in the simulations, we find that the early-type galaxies are offset from the spirals on the large-scale Kennicutt relation, and form stars two to five times less efficiently. This offset is in agreement with previous results on morphological quenching: gas discs are more stable against star formation when embedded in early-type galaxies due to the lower disc self-gravity and increased shear. As a result, these gas discs do not fragment into dense clumps and do not reach as high densities as in the spiral galaxies. Even if some molecular gas is present, the fraction of very dense gas (typically above 104 cm−3) is significantly reduced, which explains the overall lower star formation efficiency. We also analyse a sample of local early-type and spiral galaxies, measuring their CO and H I surface densities and their star formation rates as determined by their non-stellar 8 μm emission. As predicted by the simulations, we find that the early-type galaxies are offset from the Kennicutt relation compared to the spirals, with a twice lower efficiency. Finally, we validate our approach by performing a direct comparison between models and observations. We run a simulation designed to mimic the stellar and gaseous properties of NGC 524, a local lenticular galaxy, and find a gas disc structure and global star formation rate in good agreement with the observations. Morphological quenching thus seems to be a robust mechanism, and is also consistent with other observations of a reduced star formation efficiency in early-type galaxies in the COLD GASS survey. This lower efficiency of star formation is not enough to explain the formation of the whole red sequence, but can contribute to the reddening of some galaxies.

description: Pipeline leak detection technologies are critical for the safety protection of pipeline transportation. However, they are insensitive to slowly increasing leaks. Therefore, this study proposes an enhancement method for slowly increasing leak signals. By analyzing the characteristics of pressure signals of slowly increasing leaks, a digital compensator is developed to overcome the disadvantages of pressure signals and enhance the pressure signals. According to the frequency response analysis of the digital compensator, the enhancement principle is the parameter adjustment of the digital compensator. Therefore, this paper further proposes an adaptive adjustment method of the parameter to enhance different degrees of leak signals online in real-time, and the proposed method is evaluated using two field pipelines. The experimental results demonstrate that this method is suitable not only for enhancing slowly increasing leaks but also for enhancing abrupt leaks.
Role of SodC in heme acquisition in Haemophilus ducreyi

description: Haemophilus ducreyi expresses outer-membrane receptors for both heme (TdhA) and hemoglobin (HgbA), but no mechanism yet has been identified for the transport of heme from the periplasm to the cytoplasm. SodC protein in H. ducreyi binds to heme in addition to exhibiting superoxide dismutase activity. We hypothesized that SodC is involved in heme uptake in H. ducreyi. An isogenic H. ducreyi sodC mutant was constructed. The generation time of the sodC mutant was increased compared to the wild type strain (35000). The mutant was complemented in trans with either wild type sodC (sod+heme+), sodCH86E with wild type dismutase activity but less heme binding activity (sod+heme-) or with sodCL81FH82QD83G with diminished dismutase activity but wild type heme binding activity (sod-heme+). The generation times of the complemented strains showed no significant difference when grown under limited heme concentration. We conclude that SodC is unlikely to be involved in heme uptake in H. ducreyi.

description: Microplastics pollution has become an emerging concern globally, affecting all ecosystems. Microplastics contamination in terrestrial ecosystems has drawn less attention than in aquatic ecosystems, resulting in comparatively fewer studies. When considering studies on terrestrial ecosystems, very little has been reported from African countries, revealing a lack of data on microplastics contamination and its effect on the terrestrial ecosystems of Africa. Here, we position microplastics research in Africa within the global research landscape on terrestrial ecosystems, identify gaps in knowledge, and suggest a framework for research networks among African scientists within and outside Africa and institutional collaborations with well-established research groups outside the continent.

description: The reaction of LiN(SiMe3)2 with RNCNR [R = iPr, Cy] resulted in formation of the new tetra substituted guanidinate ligands Li(RN)2CN(SiMe3)2. Chapter 2 describes the reactions of these ligands with MCl4 [M = Zr, Hf] to give Cl2M[(RN)2CN(SiMe3)2] 2 or [Cl4M(CyN)2CN(SiMe3)2] - depending on the metal ligand ratio employed. Reaction of [Cl4Zr(CyN)2CN(SiMe3)2] - with 3 equivalents of BzMgCl gave the first example of an organo-zirconium complex supported by a guanidinate ligand. Chapter 3 reports on the reaction between triisopropyl guanidine ( iPrN)C(NHiPr)2 and group 5 metal alkyl precursors such as Me3TaCl2 and Me2NbCl3. These species react by protonation/elimination of metal bonded chloride groups and incorporation of a monoanionic guanidinate ligand. Reactions of triisopropyl guanidine with ZrBz4 and ZrCl 4 are reported in chapter 4. The products isolated from these reactions are Bz2Zr[(iPrN)2C(NHiPr)] 2 or the mixture Cl3Zr[(iPrN)2C(NH iPr)] + (iPrNH)3CCl. Also reported in chapter 4 are the results obtained when the dilithium salt of triisopropyl guanidine was reacted with ZrCl4: a unique dimer [Cl2Zr(iPrN)3C]2 which possessed a bridging dianionic guanidinate ligand. Preliminary reactions of this dimer with ethylene and propylene in the presence of MAO showed encouraging catalytic properties. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
Los viajeros italianos en la Argentina

description: This paper proposes an analysis of a corpus of texts from Italian travelers in Argentina during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Compared with other European travelers texts (French, English), which shows an already developed sentiment of national community, the case of Italians is paradoxical: they belong to one of the youngest nations which, at the same time, is considered the richest in history and traditions among all other Europeans countries.

Keywords: Argentina, travel literature, Italian travelers, XIX century, XX century .

El presente ensayo propone un análisis de un corpus de textos de viajeros italianos en la Argentina de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX. En comparación con otros viajeros europeos (franceses, ingleses) en cuya visión se percibe la presencia un 'nosotros' nacional ya desarrollado, en el caso de los italianos se evidencia una situación paradójica: pertenecen a una de las naciones más jóvenes que al mismo tiempo se considera como la más rica de historia entre todas las naciones europeas.

Cuba dans le temps mondial, 1989-2000, ou, L'histoire d'un sens contre la mondialisation?
Creators: name: Mercier, David.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: History, Latin American.

description: La présente thèse s'intéresse au contexte cubain de la période post-guerre froide. Plus précisément, la thèse soutient que Cuba fait l'expérience de la mondialisation d'une manière qui diffère de la plupart des autres pays en ce sens qu'elle semble offrir de la résistance à la pénétration de l'idéal néo-libéral. Cherchant à expliquer pourquoi Cuba se distingue d'autres pays, l'auteur suggère que Cuba présente certaines caractéristiques socio-historiques qui se seraient perpétuées au cours des siècles et qui occuperaient un rôle important dans le maintien de la présence d'un sens à Cuba, c'est-à-dire le maintien d'une finalité, d'une fondement et d'une unité. Cette présence de sens, ralentirait l'intériorisation de l'idéal néo-libéral aussi bien par la population que par les autorités gouvernementales. Les deux principales caractéristiques qui permettraient à Cuba d'évoluer distinctement à l'époque de la mondialisation de l'idéal néo-libéral pourraient être trouvées dans une tradition de résistance bien vive ainsi que dans une identité nationale exacerbée par l'État. La thèse conclut que la tradition de résistance et l'identité nationale, si elles peuvent ralentir la pénétration et la réification de l'idéal néo-libéral à Cuba, ne sont pas suffisantes pour empêcher ces phénomènes de se produire. Les failles du système socialiste, la violence de la crise économique du début des années 1990, la légalisation par l'État de l'usage du dollar ainsi que de certaines activités ont facilité l'enracinement partiel de l'idéal néo-libéral dans la pratique et dans l'imaginaire cubain entre 1989 et 2000.

description: Most, if not all, chemicals, biocides, pharmaceuticals and pesticides are known to produce non-extractable residues (NER) in solid environmental media like soil and sediment during degradation testing to various extents. Since it has been found that parent substances and relevant metabolites can be contained and potentially released from NER there is currently much debate on how to include NER in the environmental persistence assessment. Using radioactive or stable isotope labelled test substances, three types of NER can be experimentally discriminated: entrapped, sorbed or heavily sorbed (type I) having the potential to be released from the matrix. Type II NER, i.e. residues covalently bound to organic matter in soils or sediments, are being considered to have very low remobilisation potential. Type III NER (bioNER) are formed after degradation of the xenobiotic chemical and incorporation into natural biomolecules (anabolism) like amino acids and other biomass compounds, and are, thus, of no environmental concern. Silylation has been suggested as a methodology to differentiate types I and II NER but concern has been addressed that this procedure is not suitable for routine analysis, e.g. in the context of studies for authorisation and registration of chemicals. Here, we describe a readily applicable and reproducible experimental procedure to apply this method for the analysis of NER derived from bromoxynil, sulfadiazine and isoproturon, respectively. This method is able to distinguish between heavily sorbed and covalently bound residues of chemicals, biocides, pharmaceuticals and pesticides in soils and to subsequently identify residues of the parent substance entrapped in type I NER. © 2023 The Author(s).

description: Fathers and mothers migration influences the lives of their relatives. They create strategies to sustain the affective ties over the distance. Remittances to guarantee the economic support and the delegated and shared authority within the extended family, lead to the redefinition of relationships and responsibilities. Families change, transnational implies transformation of parental relationships which goes back and forth toward opportunities and hopes for a better life. This situation generates conflicts and tensions and, at the same time, builds different strategies to survive here and there.

Keywords: families, conflicts, migration, parental relationships, authority.

La migración de padres y madres, impacta la vida de las familias y de quienes se quedan en el país, por ello se generan estrategias para sostener desde la distancia la continuidad de los vínculos afectivos, el sostenimiento económico a través de las remesas, el ejercicio de la autoridad compartida o delegada a la red extensa, conllevando a la redefinición de las relaciones y funciones que se asumen antes del evento migratorio. Las familias afrontan cambios desde el vivir transnacional en las relaciones parentales, que fluctúan y se movilizan entre las oportunidades, y las esperanzas de una vida mejor, generando tensiones y conflictos y al mismo tiempo construyendo diversas estrategias de supervivencia aquí y allá.

description: In this paper, we study in detail the intensity noise characteristics of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). We demonstrate the possibility of generating intensity squeezed light with free-running or injection-locked VCSELs. Sub-shot noise operation results from very strong anticorrelations between the transverse modes. These anticorrelations have also been analysed through the transverse spatial distribution of the intensity noise. In the case of two transverse modes above threshold, our experimental results are found to be in good agreement with the predictions of a phenomenological model. © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/
