description: We present a comprehensive analysis of the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon from a lattice simulation with two flavors of dynamical O(a)-improved Wilson fermions. A key feature of our calculation is that we make use of an extensive ensemble of lattice gauge field configurations with four different lattice spacings, multiple volumes, and pion masses down to m_π~ 180 MeV. We find that by employing Kelly-inspired parametrizations for the Q^2-dependence of the form factors, we are able to obtain stable fits over our complete ensemble. Dirac and Pauli radii and the anomalous magnetic moments of the nucleon are extracted and results at light quark masses provide evidence for chiral non-analytic behavior in these fundamental observables.

description: We show that the like-sign di-muon anomaly reported recently by the D0 Collaboration can be explained in the supersymmetric standard model (SM) if the squarks and the sleptons in the first two generations have relatively small, but degenerate mass spectrum, and those in the third generation are larger as O(1-10)TeV. This split generation model provides large contributions to the B_s-{\bar B}_s mixing, although most of the FCNC's are suppressed due to the large masses of the third generation squarks or the GIM mechanism partially acting on the first and second generations.

Life on the line : Indigenous women cannery workers' experiences of precarious work
Creators: name: Morgan, Norma Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This dissertation examines the experiences of Indigenous women engaged in precarious and seasonal salmon cannery work. The dissertation argues that to grasp the nature of the women's work, which is exceedingly precarious, it is necessary to consider how it is shaped by a host of social, political, environmental and economic forces. In particular, the dissertation illustrates how provincial and Canadian neoliberal policies that developed during the past few decades have amplified the vulnerable status of Indigenous women cannery workers. Neoliberal discourses of active (worthy) and passive (unworthy) citizens embedded in social policies powerfully shape qualification requirements to programs such as Employment Insurance and Income Assistance while individualizing social inequalities experienced by Indigenous women. The dissertation employs both decolonizing and feminist methodologies to examine the everyday experiences of Indigenous women and to map out the social relations that shape their experience as precarious workers. Overall the dissertation contributes to making Indigenous women worker's lives more visible, to showing their significance in the salmon canning industry, to highlighting how their precarious labour undermines their well being and that of their families, and to demonstrating their resilience in the face of major obstacles.

description: We report on a timing of the eclipse arrival times of the low mass X-ray binary and X-ray pulsar 2A 1822-371 performed using all available observations of the Proportional Counter Array on board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, XMM-Newton pn, and Chandra. These observations span the years from 1996 to 2008. Combining these eclipse arrival time measurements with those already available covering the period from 1977 to 1996, we obtain an orbital solution valid for more than thirty years. The time delays calculated with respect to a constant orbital period model show a clear parabolic trend, implying that the orbital period in this source constantly increases with time at a rate $\dot P_orb = 1.50(7) \times 10^{-10}$ s/s. This is 3 orders of magnitude larger than what is expected from conservative mass transfer driven by magnetic braking and gravitational radiation. From the conservation of the angular momentum of the system we find that to explain the high and positive value of the orbital period derivative the mass transfer rate must not be less than 3 times the Eddington limit for a neutron star, suggesting that the mass transfer has to be partially non-conservative. With the hypothesis that the neutron star accretes at the Eddington limit we find a consistent solution in which at least 70% of the transferred mass has to be expelled from the system.

Subjects: hypochondria symptoms

description: The description of Medical Student Syndrome is based on the assumption that inexperienced medical students are prone to develop a pathological fear of medical conditions they are taught about. The aim of this study is to examine the sample of students (medical and non-medical) in order to assess and compare their level of hypochondriacal attitudes and health-related anxiety. We also examined other factors which might have had an influence on hypochondria and nosophobia attitudes among students. Methods: The study was conducted in two groups of students: 313 medical students at the Medical University of Silesia and 293 students at non-medical universities in Katowice, Poland. The study used the medical student syndrome self-explanatory questionnaire constructed for the study, taking into account the specificity of the group and the research problem. The research questionnaire was completed in an online survey by 606 students. Results: The results of the study showed that medical students obtained the same scores on a nosophobic scale as the non-medical students (p = 0.5). The analysis of hypochondriacal behavior showed significantly higher results in the non-medical student group (p = 0.02). In the entire study group, females and participants with mental disorders obtained higher scores in relation to nosophobia. Symptoms of depression and anxiety were more common in the group of medical students. Conclusions: Medical studies are not a risk factor for the occurrence of health anxiety and hypochondrial attitudes. Such factors are female gender and having a mental illness.
Effects of an acute bout of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on motor learning and neuroplasticity.
Creators: name: Snow, Nicholas Jacob
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Aerobic exercise has been promoted as a possible adjunct therapy to neurorehabilitation practice, given its positive effects on brain health. In healthy young adults, acute high-intensity cycling can enhance motor performance and learning of a complex motor task, and promote neuroplasticity in the motor system. However, clinical populations may not be able to participate in high-intensity exercise. To date there is inconsistent evidence for the efficacy of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise to alter motor learning and neuroplasticity in healthy young adults. Using two experiments, we aimed to determine how acute moderate-intensity cycling affects motor behavior and neuroplasticity in healthy young individuals. First, 16 participants practiced a complex motor skill after 30 minutes of moderate-intensity cycling or seated rest, on separate occasions. Motor performance was assessed at baseline, immediately after, and 5 minutes after exercise or rest. Twenty-four hours later, we assessed motor learning at a no-exercise retention test. Under the exercise condition, participants maintained performance over time, whereas, performance diminished over time under the rest condition, and became worse than post-exercise performance. Conditions did not differ at retention. Second, another group of 16 participants underwent paired associative stimulation (PAS) a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) protocol known to induce neuroplasticity in the motor system. Effects of PAS were separately compared after a 30-minute bout of moderate-intensity cycling versus seated rest. At baseline, immediately after PAS, and 30 minutes post-PAS, we measured corticomotoneuronal excitability and excitability of intracortical neural circuits using TMS. We found that PAS increased corticomotoneuronal excitability when performed after exercise, but not rest. Exercise and PAS modulated activity in specific neural circuits post-intervention, without similar results under the rest condition. Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can promote neuroplasticity in the motor system, but in this study similar effects did not transfer to behavioral measures of motor learning. In order to evaluate the clinical feasibility of this pairing moderate intensity exercise with skilled motor practice, we must first elucidate the dose-response effects of exercise on motor behavior, explore timing effects of exercise on motor learning, and examine how long-term pairing of exercise with practice impacts motor learning.

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search for microscopic black hole production and decay in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV has been conducted by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35 inverse picobarns. Events with large total transverse energy are analyzed for the presence of multiple high-energy jets, leptons, and photons, typical of a signal expected from a microscopic black hole. Good agreement with the expected standard model backgrounds, dominated by QCD multijet production, is observed for various final-state multiplicities. Limits on the minimum black hole mass are set, in the range 3.5 -- 4.5 TeV, for a variety of parameters in a model with large extra dimensions, along with model-independent limits on new physics in these final states. These are the first direct limits on black hole production at a particle accelerator.

description: A search for groups of collimated muons is performed using a data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35 inverse picobarns. The analysis searches for production of new low-mass states decaying into pairs of muons and is designed to achieve high sensitivity to a broad range of models predicting leptonic jet signatures. With no excess observed over the background expectation, upper limits on the production cross section times branching fraction times acceptance are set, ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 pb at the 95% CL depending on event topology. In addition, the results are interpreted in several benchmark models in the context of supersymmetry with a new light dark sector exploring previously inaccessible parameter space.

On the good life of disgust. L’ésthetique du stercoraire and the postmodern society

Year: 2013

description: Starting from a debate which took place at the beginning of the twenty-first century between Jean Clair and Arthur C. Danto, we will focus on the link between art and disgust, because we wish to show what art is now ‘doing’ with disgust. Our hypothesis is that art is part of the general process of self-reshaping that is underway in today’s capitalist societies. Therefore, by commenting Aurel Kolnai’s phenomenological analysis of disgust, we will gain the tools to try to show how disgust could be a crucial factor in the above process. Finally, we will recall the work of artists such as Pasolini, Nebreda, and McCarthy, in order to suggest how art could use disgust and have an actual political effect by orienting that process. All this is possible, because disgust has to do with the good life.

description: A new (1+1)-dimensional integrable system, i. e. the super coupled Korteweg-de Vries (cKdV) system, has been constructed by a super extension of the well-known (1+1)-dimensional cKdV system. For this new system, a novel symmetry constraint between the potential and eigenfunction can be obtained by means of the binary nonlinearization of its Lax pairs. The constraints for even variables are explicit and the constraints for odd variables are implicit. Under the symmetry constraint, the spacial part and the temporal parts of the equations associated with the Lax pairs for the super cKdV system can be decomposed into the super finite-dimensional integrable Hamiltonian systems on the supersymmetry manifold $R^{4N|2N+2}$, whose integrals of motion are explicitly given.

Type VI Secretion Systems

description: The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a bacterial nanomachine that delivers toxic effectors to kill competitors or subvert some of their key functions. Here, we use transposon directed insertion-site sequencing to identify T6SS toxins associated with the H1-T6SS, one of the three T6SS machines found in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This approach identified several putative toxin-immunity pairs, including Tse8-Tsi8. Full characterization of this protein pair demonstrated that Tse8 is delivered by the VgrG1a spike complex into prey cells where it targets the transamidosome, a multiprotein complex involved in protein synthesis in bacteria that lack either one, or both, of the asparagine and glutamine transfer RNA synthases. Biochemical characterization of the interactions between Tse8 and the transamidosome components GatA, GatB and GatC suggests that the presence of Tse8 alters the fine-tuned stoichiometry of the transamidosome complex, and in vivo assays demonstrate that Tse8 limits the ability of prey cells to synthesize proteins. These data expand the range of cellular components targeted by the T6SS by identifying a T6SS toxin affecting protein synthesis and validate the use of a transposon directed insertion site sequencing-based global genomics approach to expand the repertoire of T6SS toxins in T6SS-encoding bacteria.
High-throughput pairing of antigen receptor chains
Creators: name: Mewis, Georgia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The specificity of antigen recognition by a T cell or B cell is determined by its unique T cell receptor (TCR) or B cell receptor (BCR), each consisting of two, paired polypeptide chains (alpha and beta, or heavy and light, respectively). An immense diversity of receptors is created during T cell and B cell development through a process of gene recombination. Previously, this diversity has been studied by extracting RNA from large numbers of cells, amplifying the alpha and beta chain (or heavy and light chain) transcripts, and then deep sequencing. However, through this process, information on correct chain pairing is lost. In this thesis, I present a high-throughput approach for maintaining paired-chain information in next-generation sequencing libraries. Briefly, a bulk cell population is divided into a number of sub-populations, and TCR or BCR transcripts are independently amplified; chains are considered paired if they co-occur in more sub-populations than expected by random chance. Fundamental to this approach is a reliable, sensitive library preparation chemistry in which a sub-population specific index can be incorporated. Such a chemistry was validated on primary human CD8⁺ T cells. This approach for antigen receptor chain pairing will enable in-depth studies of immune dynamics, tracking of disease progression, and personalized immunotherapeutics.

Longing for dissonance : the coming community in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) by Junot Diaz
Creators: name: O'Regan, Karen Rebecca Denise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This thesis investigates Junot Díaz’s portrayal of the Dominican diaspora in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) to propose that Junot Díaz’s understanding of belonging approaches Giorgio Agamben’s concept of community as a being together of individuals in an inessential solidarity. The novel presents the marginalized Others of the Dominican diaspora as individuals whose longing for a sense of community problematizes the notion of bounded physical and temporal loci. The characters are never only of one nation or one culture, neither can they be identified as representing a singular race, class, religion, gender, or sexuality. Rather, they occupy multiple realities across contingent temporal registers so that errancy, mutability, and ambivalence characterize their transcultural experience of the quotidian. This being in flux opens liminal spaces from which they can grasp potentiality to refigure the past and interrupt the performance of the present for cultural renovation. Through the lens of Oswald de Andrade’s cultural anthropophagy and postcolonial theorists such as Homi Bhabha, Édouard Glissant and Antonio Benítez-Rojo, this thesis discusses the ways in which Díaz’s text engages readers to re-examine normative paradigms of belonging to imagine sustainable commonalities that do not evince an essence.

description: We describe our recent proposal of a path integral formulation of classical Hamiltonian dynamics. Which leads us here to a new attempt at hybrid dynamics, which concerns the direct coupling of classical and quantum mechanical degrees of freedom. This is of practical as well as of foundational interest and no fully satisfactory solution of this problem has been established to date. Related aspects will be observed in a general linear ensemble theory, which comprises classical and quantum dynamics in the form of Liouville and von Neumann equations, respectively, as special cases. Considering the simplest object characterized by a two-dimensional state-space, we illustrate how quantum mechanics is special in several respects among possible linear generalizations.

Development and evaluation of a multi-objective optimization model for multi-reservoir systems
Creators: name: Archila, Daniel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The BC Hydro and Power Authority is the largest electric utility in the province of British Columbia, Canada. With a generating capacity of more than 12,000 MW, it serves almost 2 million customers in the province. It operates 31 hydroelectric facilities, most of them located in multi-reservoir systems. In order to facilitate the operation of these reservoirs, BC Hydro developed an in-house application called the Operations Planning Tool (OPT), a deterministic Linear Programming (LP) model that provides the optimal operation of the multi-reservoir systems considering multiple purposes. The objective of this research was to investigate, develop, incorporate and test additional modeling features that would expand the current capabilities of the OPT. This included developing a formulation for the analysis of units’ maintenance outages and changing the optimization model to consider inflow uncertainty and avoid the use of weight coefficients and penalty functions. The formulation developed for the analysis of units’ maintenance outages is based on a two-stage algorithm. In the first stage, a pre-processor defines all the possible outage solutions given some initial configurations. In the second stage, a modified OPT model is run to find an outage solution that optimizes the objectives using a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) algorithm. The formulation was tested using the Bridge River system in British Columbia, Canada. An alternative OPT model was also developed to consider the uncertainty in the reservoir’s inflow and modify the formulation of the objective function. It was desired to avoid the use of weight coefficients and penalty functions due to the limitations that they present. The proposed alternative was based on the development of a linear decision rule and the use of chance constraints. The linear decision rule is an operating rule that defines the spillway releases and forebay elevation as a linear function of the inflow, the turbine releases and a deterministic decision variable. The chance constraints were used to consider the probability of the spillway releases and forebay elevation not being within a preferred range of values established by the user. The developed formulation was tested using the Stave Falls system.

Ecological and evolutionary consequences of experimental and natural warming in the high Arctic tundra
Creators: name: Bjorkman, Anne Donahey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Recent increases in global temperatures are having substantial and often unpredictable consequences for the earth’s biota. Species’ responses to environmental change depend on 1) the ability of individuals to adjust in situ through phenotypic plasticity, 2) the rate at which evolutionary adaptation can occur, and 3) the ability of individuals to colonize newly suitable habitat through migration or propagule dispersal. Temperatures in the Arctic are increasing faster than anywhere else, yet our understanding of the consequences of climate change in the Arctic lags behind that of temperate ecosystems. In this thesis, I ask whether plant phenology has advanced in response to 21 years of experimental and ambient warming at Alexandra Fiord, Ellesmere Island, Canada. While experimental warming led to earlier flowering in three out of four species, flowering dates in the control plots were unchanged or delayed despite more than 1 °C of ambient warming over the 21-year period, likely due to concurrent delays in snowmelt. This suggests that the effects of altered snowmelt patterns can counter the effects of warmer temperatures, even generating phenological responses opposite to those predicted by warming alone. I then use reciprocal transplant experiments to test for evidence of evolutionary adaptation in two plant species to differing environmental conditions between two spatially proximate habitat types and in response to 18 years of experimental warming treatments. Results were consistent both with substantial phenotypic plasticity in response to site-to-site and year-to-year variability, and with evolutionary adaptation to site and treatment conditions. Differences across natural habitats were stronger than those across experimental treatments. This indicates that plastic and genetic responses to climate change are likely to play an important role in structuring future Arctic plant communities. Finally, I test the hypothesis that warming will confer a fitness advantage to “pre-adapted” southern immigrants relative to native populations. Despite experimental conditions 3-5 °C warmer than the historical average, local populations leafed-out earlier and attained greater maximum size than foreign populations in two of three species, suggesting that the success of southern immigrants may be limited by a lack of adaptation to novel non-climatic environmental conditions even when temperatures are suitable.

description: Our premise is that the method of teaching at the bedside at the Salpêtrière hospital – about hysteric disease – at the end of the nineteenth century and all the various conceptions of staging and direction in theatre at the same period partake of the same cultural juncture, characterized by a circulation ‒ transfers through contact, shifts and superpositions ‒ of different experiences in the act of looking. This paper examines three of such experiences, which were particularly common in theatres in Paris at the turn of the twentieth century: the clinical experience of looking, developed by André Antoine at the Théâtre-Libre; the haptic experience found in spectacular shows, with the Grand Guignol as one of its prime examples, and the hypnotic experience in the staging of symbolist theatre.

description: Submerged hollow fibre ultrafiltration (SHFUF) is an established drinking water treatment technology viable for community-scale use. It can effectively treat surface water up to 4-log removal of colloids, pathogenic bacteria, and viruses. However, current use of SHFUF in small/ remote communities is hindered by the system’s complexity and high construction and operating costs. The present study focuses on the development of a novel and simple SHFUF system that can operate passively and with limited mechanical complexity for the production of drinking water in small/ remote communities. The experimental program was divided into four main stages; each stage was instrumental in eliminating component of a SHFUF system that contributes to its complexity (ie. backwash, permeate pump, aeration and recovery cleaning) and achieving an optimized state feasible for a small community use. Surface water containing 6-7 ppm dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was used for the pilot-scale experiments. In Stage 1, the contributions of periodic backwash in SHFUF were assessed through a comparative study of with and without backwash systems at sub-critical fluxes of 10, 20 and 30 L/m²h. While the benefits of backwash were clearly observed at 30 L/m²h, backwash was less necessary at lower permeate fluxes. At 10 L/m²h, flux was successfully maintained over the 2-month operation without backwash, indicating that backwash can be eliminated when operating at a low flux. Elimination of backwash reduces power requirements, increases throughput, and simplifies the system. In Stage 2, further simplification to the system was achieved through gravity permeation at a constant hydrostatic pressure. Gravity permeation at 10 L/m²h could be maintained with a head of 37 mbar. In stage 3, further reduction in energy consumption was achieved through operations under reduced air sparging conditions. Although reduced aeration decreased the permeate flux that could be maintained, this decrease can be compensated by proportionally increasing the number of membrane modules. In stage 4, recovery cleaning was confirmed to recover all of the permeability loss during the 2-month operation. Results from the present study confirm that technical complexity and energy requirements of SHFUF can be substantially reduced and made feasible for use in small/ remote communities.

description: We determine the joint distribution of the lengths of, and angles between, the N shortest lattice vectors in a random n-dimensional lattice as n tends to infinity. Moreover we interpret the result in terms of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on flat tori. Finally we discuss the limit distribution of any finite number of successive minima of a random n-dimensional lattice as n tends to infinity.

description: Abstract: Cochlear-implant (CI) users rely on temporal envelope modulations (TEMs) to understand speech, and clinical outcomes depend on the accuracy with which these TEMs are encoded by the electrically-stimulated neural ensembles. Non-invasive EEG measures of this encoding could help clinicians identify and disable electrodes that evoke poor neural responses so as to improve CI outcomes. However, recording EEG during CI stimulation reveals huge stimulation artifacts that are up to orders of magnitude larger than the neural response. Here we used a custom-built EEG system having an exceptionally high sample rate to accurately measure the artefact, which we then removed using linear interpolation so as to reveal the neural response during continuous electrical stimulation. In ten adult CI users, we measured the 40-Hz electrically evoked auditory steady-state response (eASSR) and electrically evoked auditory change complex (eACC) to amplitude-modulated 900-pulses-per-second pulse trains, stimulated in monopolar mode (i.e. the clinical default), and at different modulation depths. We successfully measured artifact-free 40-Hz eASSRs and eACCs. Moreover, we found that the 40-Hz eASSR, in contrast to the eACC, showed substantial responses even at shallow modulation depths. We argue that the 40-Hz eASSR is a clinically feasible objective measure to assess TEM encoding in CI users.

Role of group 2 innate lymphoid cells and SHIP-1 in mucosal immunity
Creators: name: Gold, Matthew Joshua
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Mucosal surfaces present an important barrier between the host and environment. Maintenance of barrier function requires intricate cross-talk between a diverse array of immune cells and the epithelia, acting synergistically to respond to harmful antigens and maintain tolerance to innocuous antigens. In this thesis I utilized an array of transgenic animals to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms that initiate adaptive immune responses in the lung and gut mucosa. Recently, innate lymphoid cells have been characterized for their role in maintaining barrier immunity. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) colonize the lung and provide a rapid source of IL-5 and IL-13 in a T and B cell independent manner in response to protease antigens. Using ILC2-deficient mice, I examined the role of these cells in mucosal inflammation using mouse models of allergic asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). ILC2s were critical in initiation of a Th2 response to locally, but not systemically delivered allergens and were completely dispensable for Th1 and Th17 dependent responses. The PI3K pathway plays an important role in regulating leukocyte activation, survival, migration and cytokine release. It is negatively regulated by the lipid phosphatase Ship1, and Ship1-/- mice develop a wide array of hematological disorders leading to a reduced lifespan. The severe phenotype associated with loss of Ship1 throughout the immune systems masks subtler roles it plays in specific leukocyte subsets. Using a conditional deletion approach, I examined the role of Ship1 in T cells, B cells and dendritic cells (DCs) in mouse models of allergic asthma and helminth infection. While loss of Ship1 in B cells did not influence susceptibility to a HDM model of allergic asthma, loss of Ship1 in either the T cells or DCs protected from disease development due to an immune skewing to a Th1 response. Additionally, loss of Ship1 in DCs rendered mice susceptible to infection with the intestinal helminth Trichuris muris, further highlighting this Th1 immune skewing.

Il disgusto nel secolo dei Lumi

description: In this essay I try to answer two different questions: ‘how can we define disgust?’ and ‘which kind of relationship is there between taste and disgust?’. In order to give a definition of the notion of disgust I analyze the works of different modern philosophers of the 18th century. In the first part of my writing I support the idea that disgust is strictly connected to the sense of smell. Taking into account this consideration and the idea that aesthetic feeling is never a mere pleasure of sense, I then make a distinction between feeling and emotion. This distinction allows me to say that disgust is always an emotion, and it is never connected to a judgment of taste. Within the experience of disgust, the distance and the disinterest that aesthetics requires are nullified: both in reality and in works of art disgust can never be mixed with pleasure. On this basis, I analyze the connection between disgust and hunger, as discussed by Diderot and Lessing, sympathy and animals. Ultimately, I can state that disgust can never be mixed with pleasure, and it can never find a place in the judgment of taste. Disgust isn’t opposed to beauty, but it marks its limits.

Is there a negative judgment of taste? Disgust as the real ugliness in Kant's aesthetic

description: Starting from the recent debate on the role of ugly in Kant’s aesthetics and according to Paul Guyer and Reinhard Brandt, in this essay I state that in Kantian perspective any negative judgment of taste can exist. The ugly is in fact always reduced to the beauty and the principle of purposiveness doesn’t allow any pure negative aesthetic judgment. The disgust, on the contrary, seems to be the real opposite of the beauty, the irreducible ugly. In this writing I demonstrate that, with its presence, the disgust ensures the bounds of the Kantian aesthetics against the contra-purposiveness.

description: Inflationary cosmology with a preceding nonsingular bounce can lead to changes on the primordial density fluctuations. One significant prediction is that the amplitude of the power spectrum may undergo a jump at a critical scale. In this Letter we propose a phenomenological parametrization of the primordial power spectrum in this scenario and confront the jump feature with latest cosmological data. Performing a global fitting, we utilize this possibility to derive a novel method for constraining bounce parameters via cosmological measurements. Combining the CMB, LSS and SNIa data, our result interestingly reveals that a nonsingular bounce, if exists, should be a fast bounce which happens at a very high energy scale, as we get an upper limit on the bounce parameters.

description: Although the arousal of disgust is now widely acknowledged to be an appropriate response to certain works of art, controversy remains regarding whether to consider this emotion an actual zone of appreciative enjoyment. This paper presents several solutions to the so-called paradox of aversion and argues for a brand of aesthetic disgust that produces an experience that can be savored despite its difficult and unpleasant qualities.

description: Stress assisted diffusion in single crystal Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) leads to the formation and growth of unwanted liquid arsenic droplets in a solid matrix. This process happens during the heat treatment of single crystal GaAs, which is needed for its application in opto-electronic devices, and it is of crucial importance to pose and answer the question if the appearance of droplets can be avoided. To this end we start a thermodynamic simulation of this process. Special emphasis is given to the influence of mechanical effects on chemistry, diffusion and interface motion in GaAs.
