description: A theoretical investigation on the coherent Dirac-like quasiparticle dynamics in monolayer $\text{MoS}_2$ under an ultrashort optical pulse irradiation is presented. Particularly, we remain specific features of ML-MDS associated with the mass asymmetry $α$ and topological aspect $β$ parameters resulting in Schr$\stackrel{..}{\text{o}}$dinger type wavevector of charge carriers. The direct band gap, spin-resolved valence band spilitting and valley degeneracy breaking due to strong spin-orbit coupling affect ultrafast dynamics of Dirac fermions. Because the duration of the optical pulse is less than the electron scattering time, which is $\sim 10-100\ fs$, the electron dynamics in electric field of the optical pulse is coherent, and consequently, we can describe the coupling of electron with strong electromagnetic field by the time-dependent Schr$\stackrel{..}{\text{o}}$dinger equation. The conduction band and valence band coupling via the strong electric field of pulse ($0.2-2.5 \ V/\textÅ$) gives rise to appearance of a dipole moment during the pulse is applied. We find that the dipole is complex, originating from the existence of band gap. We show an asymmetric singularities in Dirac points for absolute of dipole moment. We solve the resulting coupled evolution equations for the expansion coefficient of valence and conduction bands to obtain probability of population transition between valence and conduction bands. The irreversible electron dynamics as a key feature of two-dimensional Dirac matters in interacting with an ultrashort pulse strongly depends on the electronic structure of $\text{MoS}_2$. Furthermore, we present conduction band population distribution with an asymmetric exhibition at the each pair of Dirac points ($K$ and $K'$), when the pulse ends. This leads to valley polarization effect.

Toulouse and to Find : learning to loiter in La Ville Rose
Creators: name: Gmeinweser, Angela
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: This project is a series of psychogeographic maps guided by women wandering the streets of Toulouse. As their stories overlap, they form a manual that rebuilds ties to public space centered around women’s rights to pause, get lost, and feel curious about the city. Contrary to other actors that limit women’s access, such as sexualized violence or cautionary tales, in this project women rewrite the city and share ways to reclaim public space. Ultimately, by using embroidery as a principal method of representation, this thesis proposes a new spatial ontology, one that slows down to honour narratives of the body and care in the story of the city.

description: We study graviton non-Gaussianities in the EFT of Inflation. At leading (second) order in derivatives, the graviton bispectrum is fixed by Einstein gravity. There are only two contributions at third order. One of them breaks parity. They come from operators that directly involve the foliation: we then expect sizable non-Gaussianities in three-point functions involving both gravitons and scalars. However, we show that at leading order in slow roll the parity-odd operator does not modify these mixed correlators. We then identify the operators that can affect the graviton bispectrum at fourth order in derivatives. There are two operators that preserve parity. We show that one gives a scalar-tensor-tensor three-point function larger than the one computed in Maldacena, 2003 if $M^2_{\rm P}A_{\rm s}/Λ^2\gg 1$ (where $Λ$ is the scale suppressing this operator and $A_{\rm s}$ the amplitude of the scalar power spectrum). There are only two parity-odd operators at this order in derivatives.

description: Conventional studies on informal urbanism in Zimbabwe focused more on efforts in upgrading informal settlements but did not address their genesis. I argue that finding sustainable solutions to addressing informal settlements challenges and enhancing their liveability must be premised on exploring the factors influencing their genesis and temporal changes. Data were collected from Hopley Settlement, Harare, through interviews with 20 household heads and purposively selected key informants with a stake in human settlement planning. Findings suggest that the genesis of informal settlements in post-independent cities is complex and is influenced by politics, segregating the poor, constrained municipalities, and poor planning.

We show that the probability distribution function (PDF) of BER obtained by averaging over many realizations of birefringent disorder has an extended tail corresponding to anomalously large values of BER. We specifically discuss the dependence of the tail on such details of the pulse detection at the fiber output as "setting the clock" and filtering procedures.

description: Novel amphiphilic poly(DMAEMA)-block-poly(NVP-co-BA-co-AEM) (BP83-1) forms stable micelles and BP83-1/pDNA complexes possessing controlled size, charge and enhanced aggregation degree. It was found that the formation of the micelles by BP83-1 is necessary for successful DNA binding and compaction. The polyamphiphile micelle aggregation degree defined their crucial effect on the compaction and morphology of polyplexes. Strong compaction of the DNA upon interaction with polymer at CMC value, positive charge, and high stability of the polyplex are key factors promoting the penetration of DNA through bio-surfaces that define the efficiency of gene delivery in mammalian cells.

description: The long-duration Galactic-bulge microlensing event OGLE-2011-BLG-0462 produced relativistic astrometric deflections of the source star, which we measured using HST observations taken at 8 epochs over ~6 years. Analysis of the microlensing light curve and astrometry led our group (followed by other independent groups) to conclude that the lens is an isolated stellar-mass black hole (BH) -- the first and only one unambiguously discovered to date. There have now been three additional epochs of HST observations, increasing the astrometric time baseline to 11 years. Additionally, the ground-based OGLE data have been updated. We have re-analyzed the data, including the new HST astrometry, and photometry obtained with 16 different telescopes. The source lies only 0.4 arcsec from a bright neighbor, making it crucial to perform precise subtraction of its point-spread function (PSF) in the astrometric measurements of the source. Moreover, we show that it is essential to perform a separate PSF subtraction for each individual HST frame as part of the reductions. Our final solution yields a lens mass of 7.15 +/- 0.83 solar mass. Combined with the lack of detected light from the lens at late HST epochs, the BH nature of the lens is conclusively verified. The BH lies at a distance of 1.52 +/- 0.15 kpc, and is moving with a space velocity of 51.1 +/- 7.5 km/s relative to the stars in the neighborhood. We compare our results with those of other studies and discuss reasons for the differences. We searched for binary companions of the BH at a range of separations but found no evidence for any.

description: Genus Pentastiridius Kirschbaum
 Pentastiridius Kirschbaum, 1868: 45.
 Type species Flata pallens Germar, 1821.
 Morphology
Head: Vertex (total length) 1.0–1.3 times longer than wide; lateral carinae slightly elevated; subapical carina forking from lateral margin at 1/2–2/3 of total length of vertex; median carina 1/4–3/4 as long as median length of vertex. Position of maximum width of frons more or less around centre of frontoclypeal suture; lateral carinae of frons convex (evenly rounded or rectilinear apically). Anteclypeus with well­developed median carina.
 Thorax: Forewing with fork ScRA+RP distad of fork CuA1+CuA2; r­m crossvein basad of fork MA+MP; RP apically bifid (rarely trifid); MA apically trifid; MP apically bifid; fork of Pcu+A1 more or less central within clavus. Hind leg: tibia with 3 (rarely 2) lateral spines; 6 large apical teeth; 1 st tarsomere with 12–16 apical teeth and 10–14 platellae; 2 nd tarsomere with 8–12 apical teeth and 6–10 platellae.
Male genitalia: Genital styles without long, sclerotised, spinelike, dorsal process.
 Distribution Cosmopolitan genus, Australian distribution: Queensland, New South Wales.
 Remarks
 The structure of the aedeagus is very uniform within this cosmopolitan genus and descriptions of some species are based on minute differences in the length or curvature of spines on the phallotheca. Examination of the aedeagus of a large number of specimens of P. felis Kirkaldy revealed a certain degree of variability. A very slight bent in the curvature of spine (a) was noticed in some specimens; however, the degree and position of this bend varied, and it was therefore interpreted as intraspecific variation. The length of spines varied as well, but spine (a) was always the longest of the three spines. P. felis closely resembles species described from the Indo­Malayan region, such as P. pachyceps (Matsumura) and P. fuscoapicatus (Metcalf) and the African species P. sudanicus (Lallemand). A revision of the genus Pentastiridius Kirschbaum on a world­wide scale is needed to investigate the degree of intraspecific variation and examine the validity of many species described in Pentastiridius.
This genus can be distinguished from all other Australian Pentastirini by the presence of platellae on the first and second hind tarsomere.

description: Spin-active color centers in solids show good performance for quantum technologies. Several transition-metal defects in SiC offer compatibility with telecom and semiconductor industries. However, whether their strong spin-orbit coupling degrades their spin lifetimes is not clear. We show that a combination of a crystal-field with axial symmetry and spin-orbit coupling leads to a suppression of spin-lattice and spin-spin interactions, resulting in remarkably slow spin relaxation. Our optical measurements on an ensemble of Mo impurities in SiC show a spin lifetime $T_1$ of $2,4$ s at $2$ K.

description: Based on the two-gluon-exchange dynamical mechanism for deeply inelastic scattering at low x ~= Q^2/W^2 <<1, we stress the intimate connection between the total virtual photoabsorption cross section, deeply virtual Compton scattering and vector-meson electroproduction. A simple expression for the cross section for deeply virtual Compton scattering is derived. Parameter-free predictions are obtained for deeply-virtual Compton forward scattering and vector-meson forward production, once the parameters in the total virtual photoabsorption cross section are determined in a fit to the experimental data on deeply inelastic scattering. Our predictions are compared with the experimental data from HERA.

description: Journals are increasingly instituting data sharing policies to encourage replication and verification of research results. Workflows that support citing and archiving data alongside the publication of peer-reviewed articles can assist researchers in receiving scholarly acknowledgement for data products and ensure data are properly preserved. In this poster, we will summarize a project sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) to implement a prototype data citation workflow within the State Politics and Policy Quarterly (SPPQ) journal publication workflow. The project developed a human-driven workflow to archive, share, and link underlying replication data to their associated scholarly publications. Through the development of the workflow, the project team examined some of the challenges and opportunities of integrating data archiving and sharing into existing publishing systems. This poster will present the prototype workflow and key lessons learned such as the importance of relationships and the challenge of working with multiple system.

description: We review the experimental and theoretical results obtained during the past decade on the structure and rheology of wormlike micellar solutions. We focus on the linear and nonlinear viscoelasticity and emphasize the analogies with polymers. Based on a comprehensive survey of surfactant systems, the present study shows the existence of standard rheological behaviors for semidilute and concentrated solutions. One feature of this behavior is a shear banding transition associated with a stress plateau in the nonlinear mechanical response. For concentrated solutions, we show that in the plateau region the shear bands are isotropic and nematic.

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: A semiclassical description of structure functions in DIS at small $x$ is presented. It gives an intuitive picture of the transition from the Double Leading Log approximation at large $Q^2$, to the powerlike dependence on $x$ in the BFKL region at limited $Q^2$. Formal derivations from perturbative QCD, e.g. in the BFKL or the CCFM formalisms, are technically complicated, and therefore such an intuitive picture may be valuable and possibly helpful in the work towards a better understanding of DIS, and of the strong interaction in general.

description: We present a stochastic simulation method designed to study at an atomic resolution the growth kinetics of compounds characterized by the sp3-type bonding symmetry. Formalization and implementation details are discussed for the particular case of the 3C-SiC material. A key feature of our numerical tool is the ability to simulate the evolution of both point-like and extended defects, whereas atom kinetics depend critically on process-related parameters. In particular, the simulations can describe the surface state of the crystal and the generation/evolution of defects as a function of the initial substrate condition and the calibration of the simulation parameters. We demonstrate that quantitative predictions of the microstructural evolution of the studied systems can be readily compared with the structural characterization of actual processed samples.

description: κ/ι-Hybrid carrageenan microgels were prepared to be used as drug delivery systems. A surfactant-assisted microemulsion technique was used. Tween® 80 was used as surfactant and enrofloxacin was used as a model drug. The results showed that the amount of surfactant used during processing determines the size of the microgels as well as the amount of enrofloxacin that can be loaded. At low surfactant content, the initial burst release effect is dominant whereas at high surfactant content the burst release effect is negligible and the Fickian diffusion mechanism is dominant.

description: Fractional programming (FP) is a branch of mathematical optimization that deals with the optimization of ratios. It is an invaluable tool for signal processing and machine learning, because many key metrics in these fields are fractionally structured, e.g., the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in wireless communications, the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) in radar sensing, the normalized cut in graph clustering, and the margin in support vector machine (SVM). This article provides a comprehensive review of both the theory and applications of a recently developed FP technique known as the quadratic transform, which can be applied to a wide variety of FP problems, including both the minimization and the maximization of the sum of functions of ratios as well as matrix-ratio problems.

Route Forward :Discovering the Road as Architecture
Creators: name: Sczebel, Kristina
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: In the contemporary, technocratic understanding of the road, design is guided by a static human perspective of speed, safety and efficiency. The manuals used to determine highway construction prescribe a ‘one size fits all’ bounding box that is anti-design. With no room for nuances, unique influencers or site specific contexts the best we can hope for is a reactive mitigation of the carnage we caused in the first place. This type of infrastructure gets built to enable a more useful future, but we seldom ask, useful for whom? This project investigates the road through ‘other perspectives’ in order to synthesize a wholistic understanding of the road. Before we jump to future interventions, I want to challenge that we must understand the weight of what’s at stake. We must acknowledge the impacts, contradictions, skewed perspectives and the habitual activities that have stood as barriers to the evolution of asphalt from road to route. When we allow these perspectives to inhabit the imagination, we can move towards a more wholistic definition of road.

description: Effect of birefringent disorder on the Bit Error Rate (BER) in an optical fiber telecommunication system subject to amplifier noise may lead to extreme outages, related to anomalously large values of BER. We analyze the Probability Distribution Function (PDF) of BER for various strategies of Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) compensation. A compensation method is proposed that is capable of more efficient extreme outages suppression, which leads to substantial improvement of the fiber system performance.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: In September 2014 a librarian asked for examples of good and bad data management practices on the JISC Research Data Management mailing list. The examples were to be used in training courses and engagement efforts. Following this exchange and several suggested links to examples, a session at the Research Data Alliance (RDA) plenary (a global organization to facilitate data sharing) further highlighted the need for a repository of such examples. The repository would serve as a community resource to promote best data management practices, but also serve larger goals of effecting change in cultures around research data. Responding to this need, the UK Digital Curation Centre and the RDA Engagement Interest Group are launching a service to collect and organize stories about failures and successes in research data management, sharing, and re-use. This poster will describe our effort to date with launching this service. We will outline the framework for organizing the stories and our initiatives to collect them. We will also share preliminary results from the first round of story solicitations and highlight the challenges of making the stories useful. We hope that the poster will stimulate a discussion about education, engagement and outreach in social science data exchanges.

Data Management
open research

description: This deliverable is the second version of the Data Management Plan (DMP) for the Policy Cloud project, provided in month 12 of the project. It provides a description of the project’s datasets according to FAIR principles. The overall purpose of this document is to support the data management lifecycle for all data that will be collected, stored, processed or generated by the project in order to maximise its access, according to the H2020 Pilot on Open Research Data (ORDP) in which the project participates. A Data Management strategy is defined to provide the general rules and mechanisms for the access management of project data. Each dataset in the project is identified and described and information is provided on to which extent it is standard compliant, and how the data will be available, accessible interoperable and reusable. A total of 20datasets have been identified in this version of the deliverable, being most of them data that will be collected and processed by the four pilot use cases. Other datasets are mostly stakeholders’ information and public deliverables produced within the project scope. This DMP is a living document and will be updated during the course of the project in new versions at M24 and M 36.

description: Vernonia cinerea is a herb having several medicinal properties such as antidiabetic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiinflammatory and anticarcenogenic. This work investigated the proximate and mineral composition in different parts (leaves, roots, stem and flowers) of V. cinerea using standard procedures. Collected data of proximate and mineral analysis were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The results of the proximate composition were found to be as follows; ash content ranged between 10.00 ± 1.32 % w/w and 20.17 ± 6.74 % w/w while both leaves and roots had the highest and flower had the least ash content which was significantly different (P<0.05). The moisture content ranged between 61.24 ± 2.17 % - 75.45 ± 4.74 % w/w in the different parts of the plant. The mean nitrogen content ranged between 1.91 ± 0.23 % w/w and 4.80 ± 0.18 % w/w. The protein content in flower, leaf, stem and roots of V. cinerea were significantly different (P<0.05) and the values ranged between 9.19 ± 1.08 % w/w - 23.07 ± 0.85 % w/w %. The plant parts were also analyzed for mineral elements such as Zn and Cu metal ions using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The levels of these elements found were; Zn:5.58 ± 0.14 - 51.27 ± 0.81 mg/kg and Cu 3.29 ± 0.06 - 8.57 ± 0.10 mg/kg with few exceptions. The mineral content of flower, roots, stem and leaves were significantly different (P<0.05). Therefore, V. cinerea as a therapeutically beneficial herb has a significant amount of proximate and mineral ion composition that can be specified

description: We present lenscat, a public and community-contributed catalog of strong gravitational lenses found by electromagnetic surveys. The main objective of lenscat is to compile a simple, easy-to-access catalog that can be used in a variety of lensing studies, such as facilitating the search for the host galaxy of a candidate strongly lensed transient event. We also provide a python package to interact with tools commonly used by the community. This allows end users both with and without lensing expertise to obtain a list of known strong lenses within a given search area, and to also rank them by their respective searched probabilities. Here, we exemplify this by crossmatching the gravitational wave joint sky localization region of an interesting pair of events GW170104-GW170814. Other examples with short gamma-ray bursts are given. Thanks to the open and simple infrastructure of lenscat, members of the lensing community can directly add newly found lenses from their own studies to help create a long-lasting catalog that is as exhaustive and accessible as possible.

description: The weak-boson fusion process is expected to provide crucial information on Higgs boson couplings at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The achievable statistical accuracy demands comparison with next-to-leading order QCD calculations, which are presented here in the form of a fully flexible parton Monte Carlo program. QCD corrections are determined for jet distributions and are shown to be modest, of order 5 to 10% in most cases, but reaching 30% occasionally. Remaining scale uncertainties range from order 5% or less for distributions to below +-2% for the Higgs boson cross section in typical weak-boson fusion search regions.

description: This study evaluated the effect of addition of nanochitosan on the wear resistance of pit and fissure sealants. Hydrophobic N-(2-ethylhexanoyl)chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized, characterized, and added to commercial sealants. The sealants were subjected to customized abrasion test, followed by wear resistance analysis using weight loss measurement and 3-D profilometric methods. Analytical techniques confirmed the substitution. The particles ranged in size from 320 to 670 nm. Results showed a marginal improvement in the wear behavior of modified sealants compared to unmodified sealants. It can be concluded that this modification could prolong the life of these preventive restorations.

description: Star polymers of N,N′-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and hydroxyl-bearing oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (OEGMA-OH) were used as pDNA and mRNA carriers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of stars in the formation of polyplexes with mRNA. Polyplexes efficiently delivered nucleic acids into HT-1080 cells, while their cytotoxicity was kept significantly low due to the presence of OEGMA-OH units in the star. Hydroxyl functionalities were used for the introduction of fluorophore moieties for monitoring of the complex location after the cell uptake. Thus, versatile gene delivery vectors based upon functional star polymers were developed.

description: A large number of NP-hard graph problems become polynomial-time solvable on graph classes where the mim-width is bounded and quickly computable. Hence, when solving such problems on special graph classes, it is helpful to know whether the graph class under consideration has bounded mim-width. We first extend the toolkit for proving (un)boundedness of mim-width of graph classes. This enables us to initiate a systematic study into bounding mim-width from the perspective of hereditary graph classes. For a given graph $H$, the class of $H$-free graphs has bounded mim-width if and only if it has bounded clique-width. We show that the same is not true for $(H_1,H_2)$-free graphs. We find several general classes of $(H_1,H_2)$-free graphs having unbounded clique-width, but the mim-width is bounded and quickly computable. We also prove a number of new results showing that, for certain $H_1$ and $H_2$, the class of $(H_1,H_2)$-free graphs has unbounded mim-width. Combining these with known results, we present summary theorems of the current state of the art for the boundedness of mim-width for $(H_1,H_2)$-free graphs.
