A matter of degree : private higher education in British Columbia and Alberta
Creators: name: Maher, Paul Claude
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study examines and compares two well-established private universities in their provincial environments: Trinity Western University (TWU) in British Columbia, and Augustana University College (AUC) in Alberta. Three questions were addressed. First, what were the conditions that enabled TWU and AUC to take root and flourish in their environments? Second, in what way and to what extent are TWU and AUC "private"? Third, how have TWU and AUC survived in their public environments on issues related to achieving degree-granting status, quality control, academic standards and public acceptance? The main finding to the first question is that both universities were established by the faith, perseverance and volunteer action of supporting memberships whose philosophy and beliefs were mainly incongruent with those of the public environment. Both universities were given recognition by politically conservative governments whose ideology extolled the virtues of private initiative. The main finding to the second question is that both universities were not "private" to nearly the same degree. While both universities are recognized for their academic quality by the postsecondary environment, TWU exhibits characteristics that are more distinctive and incongruent with the public environment in its faith-affirming beliefs, governance, financing, missions, academic frameworks, faculty, students and ethical standards. AUC, on the other hand, is far more "public-like" in these aspects, and is formally accountable to and part of the postsecondary education system of Alberta. The conclusion to the third finding is that TWU has depended on maintaining its distinctiveness and financial autonomy whilst maintaining recognition and acceptance by its environment in order to remain viable. AUC, by contrast, has depended on relinquishing much of its distinctiveness and autonomy in order to receive provincial support and recognition. These two cases illustrate that the idea of "private" as opposed to "public" universities should be viewed as a matter of degree rather than in absolute opposite terms.

description: We study Pisot numbers $β\in (1, 2)$ which are univoque, i.e., such that there exists only one representation of 1 as $1 = \sum_{n \geq 1} s_nβ^{-n}$, with $s_n \in \{0, 1\}$. We prove in particular that there exists a smallest univoque Pisot number, which has degree 14. Furthermore we give the smallest limit point of the set of univoque Pisot numbers.

Epoché. Husserl e lo scetticismo
Creators: name: Venier, Veniero
Publisher: name: Lebenswelt. Aesthetics and philosophy of experience.
Year: 2019

description: According to Husserl there is not only a negative meaning of scepticism, in which reason dissolves itself in an exasperated relativism, but also a completely opposite one, in which the idea of scepticism is a necessary transition for rational argumentation that reflects the actual ability of radically questioning those certainties that are fideistically interwoven in the relationship between life and scientific knowledge. It is therefore equally unquestionable that the objective of such scepticism is to seek, with untiring fatigue, solid, persuasive terrain for one’s own argumentation that has the constant backdrop of revealing a new idea of subjectivity in its intrinsic tie with science and the common world of practical life. These two forms of scepticism, the anti-philosophical and the critical-rational therefore share an important trait: their unavoidable reference to subjectivity. However, whilst the discovery of the absolute intimacy of subjectivity with the world as a theatre of cognitive operations and of the creation of meaning fills the alleged fracture of a reality in itself that transcends the subject, it does not however eliminate the actual reasons of the concrete existence of the world and of the actual influence of such a reality on operations in the process of their creation. It is this that is the crucial question, the essential correlation between self and world, which progressively gains more and more importance in the evolution of Husserl’s notion of epoché and phenomenological reduction. A notion that corresponds to the critical exercise of reason, the necessary exercise of a scepticism that is never exhausted in itself as it never exhausts the view of the constantly changing meaning of the world in the wealth of its infinite essential traits.

description: Monolayer black and blue phosphorenes possess electronic and optical properties that result in unique features when the two materials are stacked. We devise a low-strain van-der-Waals double layer and investigate its properties with ab initio many-body perturbation theory techniques. A type-II band alignment and optical absorption in the visible range are found. The study demonstrates that spatially indirect excitons with full charge separation can be obtained between two layers with the same elemental composition but different crystalline structure, proving the system interesting for further studies where dipolar excitons are important and for future opto-electronic applications.

description: We show that we can achieve global density-operator controllability for most N-dimensional bilinear Hamiltonian control systems with general fixed couplings using a single, locally-acting actuator that modulates one energy-level transition. Controllability depends upon the position of the actuator and relies on the absence of either decompositions into non-interacting subgroups or symmetries restricting the dynamics to a subgroup of SU(N). These results are applied to spin-chain systems and used to explicitly construct control sequences for a single binary-valued switch actuator.

description: Quantum simulation using synthetic systems is a promising route to solve outstanding quantum many-body problems in regimes where other approaches, including numerical ones, fail. Many platforms are being developed towards this goal, in particular based on trapped ions, superconducting circuits, neutral atoms or molecules. All of which face two key challenges: (i) scaling up the ensemble size, whilst retaining high quality control over the parameters and (ii) certifying the outputs for these large systems. Here, we use programmable arrays of individual atoms trapped in optical tweezers, with interactions controlled by laser-excitation to Rydberg states to implement an iconic many-body problem, the antiferromagnetic 2D transverse field Ising model. We push this platform to an unprecedented regime with up to 196 atoms manipulated with high fidelity. We probe the antiferromagnetic order by dynamically tuning the parameters of the Hamiltonian. We illustrate the versatility of our platform by exploring various system sizes on two qualitatively different geometries, square and triangular arrays. We obtain good agreement with numerical calculations up to a computationally feasible size (around 100 particles). This work demonstrates that our platform can be readily used to address open questions in many-body physics.

description: This paper describes a model for generating time series which exhibit the statistical phenomenon known as long-range dependence (LRD). A Markov Modulated Process based upon an infinite Markov chain is described. The work described is motivated by applications in telecommunications where LRD is a known property of time-series measured on the internet. The process can generate a time series exhibiting LRD with known parameters and is particularly suitable for modelling internet traffic since the time series is in terms of ones and zeros which can be interpreted as data packets and inter-packet gaps. The method is extremely simple computationally and analytically and could prove more tractable than other methods described in the literature

We prove the results predicted by physicists for this model. More precisely, we describe the fluctuations of the interfaces around their (straight) scaling limits, and the expected and typical lengths of these interfaces. These results build on the recent results for critical percolation on this lattice by Smirnov, Lawler, Schramm and Werner, and on the scaling ideas developed by Kesten.

Επίσης, σημαντικό πλεονέκτημα της συσκευής αυτής, είναι το γεγονός ότι δεν καταναλώνει μεγάλες ποσότητες ϱεύματος κατά την λειτουργία της, πράγμα επιθυμητό.΄Wστόσο, αναλυτικά μοντέλα για την περιγραφή του δυναμικού εντός αυτής της συσκευής δεν έχουν ϐρεθεί, όπου επιθυμητή είναι η εύρεση οποιασδήποτε λύσης για την μοντελοποίηση αυτού. Στη παρούσα εργασία, εκθέτουμε ένα ημι-αναλυτικό μοντέλο το οποίο προέκυψε από την αριθμητική μελέτη του δυναμικού εντός αυτής της συσκευής, το οποίο περιγράφει με αρκετά καλή ακρίβεια, σε σύγκριση με τα αριθμητικά μας αποτελέσματα, το δυναμικό.
description: Currently efforts are made in order to implement Mosfets with size almost in nanometer. This promising device is the Double Gate Mosfet which structure and characteristics, overturn several disadvantages of common Mosfets such as short channel effects (SCE’s) etc. However, its importance of such a device, is the fact that it contributes to less power consumption while the system is in operation which in fact is desirable. Although there are not any analytical models describing the potential distribution of such a device, we keen to find such a model. In this thesis, we illustrate a semianalytical model which springs from thorough study of the simulated potential distribution, model which is very accurate compared with the numerical results. iii

description: We study a quantum dynamical semigroup driven by a Lindblad generator with a deterministic Schrödinger part and a noisy Poission-timed scattering part. The dynamics describes the evolution of a test particle in $\R^{n}$, $n=1,2,3$, immersed in a gas, and the noisy scattering part is defined by the reduced effect of an individual interaction, where the interaction between the test particle and a single gas particle is via a repulsive point potential. In the limit that the mass ratio $λ=\frac{m}{M}$ tends to zero and the collisions become more frequent as $\frac{1}λ$, we show that our dynamics $Φ_{t,λ}$ approaches a limiting dynamics $Φ_{t,λ}^{\diamond}$ with second order error. Working in the Heisenberg representation, for $G\in \Bi(L^{2}(\R^{n}))$ $n=1,3$ we bound the difference between $Φ_{t,λ}(G)$ and $Φ_{t,λ}^{\diamond}(G)$ in operator norm proportional to $λ^{2}$.

description: This essay attempts to present and discuss Nicholas of Cusa’s basic theological ideas and line them up with their philosophical tradition. In the first part I introduce Nicholas as the political and ecclesiastical man of his time. Moreover, I detect the theoretical substratum on which the cardinal sets up his theological system, and try to determine the position that held in philosophy and its history. In the second and third part I try to present and discuss cardinal’s basic ideas: (a) his theory of knowledge – both under the prism of the Kantian emphasis on the subject and the prism of the medieval philosophy; (b) his ontology, by stressing his fundamental distinction between the finite and the infinite. The last two parts are concluded with my comments and criticism on what has been presented, while in a parallel direction I bring forth the basic theological topics that troubled the philosopher and challenged his mind.

description: We consider relativistic U(1) gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions, with N_b species of complex bosons and N_f species of Dirac fermions at finite temperature. The quantum phase transition between the Higgs and Coulomb phases is described by a conformal field theory (CFT). At large N_b and N_f, but for arbitrary values of the ratio N_b/N_f, we present computations of various critical exponents and universal amplitudes for these CFTs. We make contact with the different spin-liquids, charge-liquids and deconfined critical points of quantum magnets that these field theories describe. We compute physical observables that may be measured in experiments or numerical simulations of insulating and doped quantum magnets.

Time delay for one-dimensional quantum systems with steplike potentials

description: This paper concerns time-dependent scattering theory and in particular the concept of time delay for a class of one-dimensional anisotropic quantum systems. These systems are described by a Schrödinger Hamiltonian $H = -Δ+ V$ with a potential $V(x)$ converging to different limits $V_{\ell}$ and $V_{r}$ as $x \to -\infty$ and $x \to +\infty$ respectively. Due to the anisotropy they exhibit a two-channel structure. We first establish the existence and properties of the channel wave and scattering operators by using the modern Mourre approach. We then use scattering theory to show the identity of two apparently different representations of time delay. The first one is defined in terms of sojourn times while the second one is given by the Eisenbud-Wigner operator. The identity of these representations is well known for systems where $V(x)$ vanishes as $|x| \to \infty$ ($V_\ell = V_r$). We show that it remains true in the anisotropic case $V_\ell \not = V_r$, i.e. we prove the existence of the time-dependent representation of time delay and its equality with the time-independent Eisenbud-Wigner representation. Finally we use this identity to give a time-dependent interpretation of the Eisenbud-Wigner expression which is commonly used for time delay in the literature.

description: Stylolites are spectacular rough dissolution surfaces that are found in many rock types. Despite many studies, their genesis is still debated, particularly the time scales of their formation and the relationship between this time and their morphology. We developed a new discrete simulation technique to explore the dynamic growth of the stylolite roughness, starting from an initially flat dissolution surface. We demonstrate that the typical steep stylolite teeth geometry can accurately be modelled and reproduce natural patterns. The growth of the roughness takes place in two successive time regimes: i) an initial non-linear increase in roughness amplitude that follows a power-law in time up to ii) a critical time where the roughness amplitude saturates and stays constant.

description: Pressure solution creep rates and interface structures have been measured by two methods on calcite single crystals. In the first kind of experiments, calcite monocrystals were indented at 40 degrees C for six weeks using ceramic indenters under stresses in the 50-200 MPa range in a saturated solution of calcite and in a calcite-saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl. The deformation (depth of the hole below the indenter) is measured ex-situ at the end of the experiment. In the second type of experiment, calcite monocrystals were indented by spherical glass indenters for 200 hours under stresses in the 0-100 MPa range at room temperature in a saturated aqueous solution of calcite. The displacement of the indenter was continuously recorded using a specially constructed differential dilatometer. The experiments conducted in a calcite-saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl show an enhanced indentation rate owing to the fairly high solubility of calcite in this solution. In contrast, the experiments conducted in a calcite-saturated aqueous solution show moderate indentation rate and the dry control experiments did not show any measurable deformation. The rate of calcite indentation is found to be inversely proportional to the indenter diameter, thus indicating that the process is diffusion-controlled. The microcracks in the dissolution region under the indenter dramatically enhance the rate of calcite indentation by a significant reduction of the distance of solute transport in the trapped fluid phase. This result indicates that care should be taken in extrapolating the kinetic data of pressure solution creep from one mineral to another.

This leads to the expectation of knee-like features of the heavy primaries at around 100 PeV. To investigate in detail this energy region several new experiments are or will be devised.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία εξετάζει τον τρόπο με τον οποίο οι μυημένοι στα μυστήρια του Μίθρα διαμόρφωναν συγκεκριμένες εικόνες και υποθέσεις για την πραγματικότητα, οι οποίες συγκροτούσαν το ιδιαίτερο σύστημα κοσμοθεώρησης του Μιθραϊσμού. Συγκεκριμένα, διερευνώνται τα περιεχόμενα των οικουμενικών κατηγοριών, που συγκροτούν εν γένει τα συστήματα θεώρησης του κόσμου σύμφωνα με τη θεωρία του Michael Kearney, όπως διαμορφώνονταν μέσα στη συνάφεια της μιθραϊκής λατρείας. Ειδικότερα, μελετάται ο τρόπος με τον οποίο οι Μιθραϊστές αντιλαμβάνονταν τον εαυτό τους και κατ’ επέκταση το χώρο και το χρόνο κατά τη συμμετοχή τους στα μυστήρια του Μίθρα και μετά. Εξετάζεται περαιτέρω το συμβολικό σύστημα της σκηνής της ταυροκτονίας και ο τρόπος που αυτό γινόταν αντιληπτό από τους μυημένους. Τέλος γίνεται μία προσπάθεια ένταξης του Μιθραϊσμού στον εικονιστικό τύπο θρησκευτικότητας σύμφωνα με τη θεωρία του Whitehouse.
description: This Thesis studies the way in which the initiates into the mysteries of Mithras formed specific images and assumptions about reality constituting the specific worldview of Mitraism. In particular, the contents of the worldview universals, which according to Michael Kearney’s theory fundamentally constitute the various worldviews, are investigated as they were formed within the mithraic context. In this framework, the way in which Mithraists perceived their selves, and further space and time is investigated during their participation to the mysteries and afterwards. Further, the symbolic system of the tauroctony’s scene is studied as well as the way in which this system was perceived and conceived by the initiates. Finally, there is an attempt to subsume Mithraism in the imagistic mode of religiosity according to Whitehouse’s theory.

description: This paper addresses issues surrounding the concept of fractional quantum mechanics, related to lights propagation in inhomogeneous nonlinear media, specifically restricted to a so called gravitational optics. Besides Schrödinger Newton equation, we have also concerned with linear and nonlinear Airy beam accelerations in flat and curved spaces and fractal photonics, related to nonlinear Schrödinger equation, where impact of the fractional Laplacian is discussed. Another important feature of the gravitational optics' implementation is its geometry with the paraxial approximation, when quantum mechanics, in particular, fractional quantum mechanics, is an effective description of optical effects. In this case, fractional-time differentiation reflexes this geometry effect as well.

Percolation theory applied to measures of fragmentation in social networks

description: We apply percolation theory to a recently proposed measure of fragmentation $F$ for social networks. The measure $F$ is defined as the ratio between the number of pairs of nodes that are not connected in the fragmented network after removing a fraction $q$ of nodes and the total number of pairs in the original fully connected network. We compare $F$ with the traditional measure used in percolation theory, $P_{\infty}$, the fraction of nodes in the largest cluster relative to the total number of nodes. Using both analytical and numerical methods from percolation, we study Erdős-Rényi (ER) and scale-free (SF) networks under various types of node removal strategies. The removal strategies are: random removal, high degree removal and high betweenness centrality removal. We find that for a network obtained after removal (all strategies) of a fraction $q$ of nodes above percolation threshold, $P_{\infty}\approx (1-F)^{1/2}$. For fixed $P_{\infty}$ and close to percolation threshold ($q=q_c$), we show that $1-F$ better reflects the actual fragmentation. Close to $q_c$, for a given $P_{\infty}$, $1-F$ has a broad distribution and it is thus possible to improve the fragmentation of the network. We also study and compare the fragmentation measure $F$ and the percolation measure $P_{\infty}$ for a real social network of workplaces linked by the households of the employees and find similar results.

description: We present reddening, photometric metallicity, age and distance estimates for the Frolov 1 and NGC 7510 open clusters based on CCD UBV photometric and Gaia data. Photometric observations were collected using the 1-m telescope of the TÜBİTAK National Observatory. Gaia DR2 proper motion data in the direction of two groupings were used to identify cluster membership. We determined mean proper motion values ($ μ_α\cosδ, μ_δ$) = ($-3.02\pm 0.10$, $-1.75 \pm 0.08$) and ($-3.66 \pm 0.07$, $-2.17 \pm 0.06$) mas yr$^{-1}$ for Frolov 1 and NGC 7510, respectively. We used two-colour diagrams to obtain $E(B-V)$ colour excesses for Frolov 1 and NGC 7510 as $0.65\pm0.06$ and $1.05\pm0.05$ mag, respectively. We derived the photometric metallicity of Frolov 1 as [Fe/H] = 0.03$\pm$0.03 dex and adopted a solar metallicity for NGC 7510. Based on these reddening and metallicities we determined the distance moduli and ages of the clusters via fitting PARSEC isochrones to the cluster colour-magnitude diagrams. Isochrone fitting distances for Frolov 1 and NGC 7510 are $2864 \pm 254$ and $2818 \pm 247$ pc, respectively, which correspond to the ages $35\pm 10$ Myr and $18\pm 6$ Myr. We also calculated mean Gaia distances and compared them with those given in the literature and in this study, concluding that our results are in good agreement with previous work. Finally, we calculated the mass function slopes as being $X=-1.21\pm0.18$ for Frolov 1 and $X=-1.42\pm0.27$ for NGC 7510.

description: Poultry feed industry is essential to nutrition in poultry production at the global level. This industry aids in provided with essential nutrients which helps in supporting growth, health and productivity. However, it faces serious obstacles on the path to being sustainable and efficient. The large increase in cost of raw materials is dependent on the inconsistency of the global grain markets, competition for resources and the rising demand for alternative sources of protein. In addition, poultry must grow optimally while keeping the safety of product composition in feed intact especially removal of antibiotics as growth boosters. Yet, although their efficacy and cost are still in question, this shift has forced the industry to start looking into natural feed additive like enzymes, probiotics, and phytobiotics to combat antibiotic resistance. Pressure is also exerted by environmental concerns, which recognize that feed production is a major contributor to the carbon footprint of the industry. Sustainable sourcing which includes the incorporation of novel feed ingredients like insect proteins or algae, and improved feed conversion ratios are considered as emerging strategies to alleviate environmental impacts. In addition, mycotoxin contamination of poultry feed, including aflatoxins and zearalenone, has health risks to poultry as well as humans, and that needs advanced detection, prevention and detoxification measures. The other few challenges to feed formulation and market dynamics are regulatory and consumer preferences for organic and antibiotic free products. With the poultry industry expanding, these challanges must be addressed so that food security, sustainability and welfare of animals as well as responding to the demand of a consolidated market.

An inquiry into the contextual specificity of Canadian literature on anti-racist education
Creators: name: Sivak, Alisa Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study focuses on Canadian literature on anti-racist education and, in particular, the body of literature which acknowledges a sense of conflict between the theories, goals, and strategies of anti-racism and multiculturalism. The purpose of the study is to investigate the ways in which this body of literature addresses the Canadian context, particularly in reference to the prevalence of multiculturalism in Canada's official policies and popular ideology. The study reveals the existence of two different conceptions of the conflict between anti-racist and multicultural education: irreconcilable conflict and inevitable compromise. Each of these conceptions fails to provide practical guidance in terms of what those visions look like or how they can be resolved. Closer analysis reveals that this literature as a whole seems to rely on a standard critique of multiculturalism, failing to substantiate it with illustrations from the Canadian context. In fact, the literature fails to engage with Canadian multiculturalism with the kind of complexity it warrants, addressing it, instead, as if it is a monolithic and static entity that can be dismissed superficially. Addressing that complexity in the future can only strengthen Canadian anti-racist research.
