description: Jamming, or dynamical arrest, is a transition at which many particles stop moving in a collective manner. In nature it is brought about by, for example, increasing the packing density, changing the interactions between particles, or otherwise restricting the local motion of the elements of the system. The onset of collectivity occurs because, when one particle is blocked, it may lead to the blocking of a neighbor. That particle may then block one of its neighbors, these effects propagating across some typical domain of size named the dynamical correlation length. When this length diverges, the system becomes immobile. Even where it is finite but large the dynamics is dramatically slowed. Such phenomena lead to glasses, gels, and other very long-lived nonequilibrium solids. The bootstrap percolation models are the simplest examples describing these spatio-temporal correlations. We have been able to solve one such model in two dimensions exactly, exhibiting the precise evolution of the jamming correlations on approach to arrest. We believe that the nature of these correlations and the method we devise to solve the problem are quite general. Both should be of considerable help in further developing this field.

description: This paper evaluates the performance of a rural credit market in Peru. We develop a model that shows that collateral requirements imposed by lenders in response to asymmetric information can lead not just to quantity rationing but also to transaction cost rationing and risk rationing. Just like quantity rationing, these two additional forms of non-price rationing adversely affect farm resource allocation and productivity. We test the insights of the model using a panel data set from Northern Peru. We estimate the returns to productive endowments for constrained and unconstrained households using a switching regression model. We find that, consistent with the theory, productivity is independent of endowments for unconstrained households but is tightly linked to endowments for constrained households. We estimate that credit constraints lower the value of agricultural output in the study region by 26%.

description: Magain et al. (2005) argued that the host galaxy of the quasar in HE0450-2958 is substantially under-luminous given the likely mass of its nuclear black hole. Using kinematical information from the spectra of the quasar and the companion galaxy, an ultra-luminous infrared galaxy, we test the hypothesis that the black hole powering the quasar was ejected from the companion galaxy during a merger. We find that the ejection model can be securely ruled out, since the kick velocity required to remove the black hole from the galaxy is greater than about 500 km/s, inconsistent with the presence of narrow emission line gas at the same redshift as the quasar nucleus. We also show that the quasar in HE0450-2958 has the spectral characteristics of a narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy and calculate a mass for its black hole that is roughly an order of magnitude smaller than estimated by Magain et al. The predicted luminosity of the host galaxy is then consistent with the upper limits inferred by those authors.

description: ABSTRACT
For the “Western world” the year 2014, have shaken the international system of our time, when Russia annexed Crimea, and actively contributed to the destabilization of EasternUkraine. As a result of these events the “West” imposed economic sanctions against Russia, to force it to comply with international norms, and to neutralize the conflict in Ukraine. However until today, these sanctions have not been able to significantly weaken the Russian leadership, or to achieve change in Russian policy. In my thesis, I have investigated the context of this contradiction. To analyze this, I have identified the primary objectives of the economic restrictions and examined the factors influencing and limiting their effectiveness. Then the Russian equivalents of said areas affected by these goals, and their meaning to Russia were researched. Such areas are the relations of economy, history, government and the regions around Russia. The main result of my dissertation is that the limited success of the sanctions can be attributed to the extent of the historical "Western"-Russian opposition and the importance of great power identity, but stronger sanctions may not mean better results.

description: We are concerned with how the implementation of growth determines the expected number of state-changes in a growing self-organizing process. With this problem in mind, we examine two versions of the voter model on a one-dimensional growing lattice. Our main result asserts that the expected number of state-changes before an absorbing state is found can be controlled by balancing the conservative and disruptive forces of growth. This is because conservative growth preserves the self-organization of the voter model as it searches for an absorbing state, whereas disruptive growth undermines this self-organization. In particular, we focus on controlling the expected number of state-changes as the rate of growth tends to zero or infinity in the limit. These results illustrate how growth can affect the costs of self-organization and so are pertinent to the physics of growing active matter.

description: We analyze two versions of the extended technicolor (ETC) incorporating the top quark condensate via the flavor-universal coloron type topcolor $SU(3)_1 \times SU(3)_2$: A straightforward top-mode ETC having quarks and techniquarks assigned to a single (strong) $SU(3)_1$, and a ``twisted model'' with techniquarks carrying the weak $SU(3)_2$ while quarks the strong $SU(3)_1$. The straightforward model has the same ETC structure as that of Appelquist et al. without topcolor which we first analyze to find that it yields only too small ETC-induced mass for the third generation. In contrast, our model having topcolor takes the form of a version of the topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) after ETC breakings, which triggers the top quark condensate giving rise to a realistic top mass. However, techniquarks have the strong topcolor $SU(3)_1$ in addition to the already strong walking/conformal technicolor, which triggers the techniquark condensate at scale much higher than the weak scale, a disaster. We then consider a ``twisted model'' of TC2, though not an explicit ETC. We find a new feature that ``ETC''-induced quark mass is enhanced to the realistic value by the large anomalous dimension $γ_m \simeq 2$ of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio-type topcolor interactions. The result roughly reproduces the realistic quark masses. We further find a novel effect of the above large anomalous dimension $γ_m \simeq 2$: The top-pion mass has a universal upper bound, $m_{π_t} < 70 \GeV$, in the generic TC2 model.

description: Cm-wavelength radio continuum emission in excess of free-free, synchrotron and Rayleigh-Jeans dust emission (excess microwave emission, EME), and often called `anomalous microwave emission', is bright in molecular cloud regions exposed to UV radiation, i.e. in photo-dissociation regions (PDRs). The EME correlates with IR dust emission on degree angular scales. Resolved observations of well-studied PDRs are needed to compare the spectral variations of the cm-continuum with tracers of physical conditions and of the dust grain population. The EME is particularly bright in the regions of the rho Ophiuchi molecular cloud (rho Oph) that surround the earliest type star in the complex, HD 147889, where the peak signal stems from the filament known as the rho Oph-W PDR. Here we report on ATCA observations of rho Oph-W that resolve the width of the filament. We recover extended emission using a variant of non-parametric image synthesis performed in the sky plane. The multi-frequency 17 GHz to 39 GHz mosaics reveal spectral variations in the cm-wavelength continuum. At ~30 arcsec resolutions, the 17-20 GHz intensities follow tightly the mid-IR, Icm propto I(8 um), despite the breakdown of this correlation on larger scales. However, while the 33-39 GHz filament is parallel to IRAC 8 mum, it is offset by 15-20 arcsec towards the UV source. Such morphological differences in frequency reflect spectral variations, which we quantify spectroscopically as a sharp and steepening high-frequency cutoff, interpreted in terms of the spinning dust emission mechanism as a minimum grain size a_cutoff ~ 6 +- 1A that increases deeper into the PDR.

description: This paper provides a methodological bridge leading from the well-developed theory of credit rationing to the less developed territory of empirically identifying credit constraints. We begin by developing a simple model showing that credit constraints may take three forms: quantity rationing, transaction cost rationing, and risk rationing. Each form of non-price rationing adversely affects household resource allocation and thus should be accounted for in empirical analyses of credit market performance. We then outline a survey strategy to directly classify households as credit unconstrained or constrained and, if constrained, to further identify which of the three non-price rationing mechanisms is at play. We discuss several practical issues that arise due to the use of a combination of “factual” and “interpretative” survey questions. Finally, using a data set from northern Peru, we demonstrate the importance of accounting for all three forms of credit constraints by estimating the increase in farm production that would result from relaxing credit constraints. The inclusion of transaction- and risk-rationed households in the constrained group results in an estimated impact that is twice as large as the impact when only quantity rationed households are considered constrained.
From Young and Hot to Old and Cold: Comparing White Dwarf Cooling Theory to Main Sequence Stellar Evolution in Open Clusters

description: I explore the current ability of both white dwarf cooling theory and main sequence stellar evolution theory to accurately determine stellar population ages by comparing ages derived using both techniques for open clusters ranging from 0.1 to 4 Gyr. I find good agreement between white dwarf and main sequence evolutionary ages over the entire age range currently available for study. I also find that directly comparing main sequence turn-off ages to white dwarf ages is only weakly sensitive to realistic levels of errors in cluster distance, metallicity, and reddening. Additional detailed comparisons between white dwarf and main sequence ages have tremendous potential to refine and calibrate both of these important clocks, and I present new simulations of promising open cluster targets. The most demanding requirement for these white dwarf studies are very deep (V > 25-28) cluster observations made necessary by the faintness of the oldest white dwarfs.

Detection, characterization, and genetic modification of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) stem cells
Creators: name: Ailles, Laurie Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The first goal of the current project was to establish reliable assays for the routine detection and quantitation of leukemic stem cells. The development of such assays would, firstly, provide definitive proof for the existence of a primitive cell analagous to a normal pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell within the AML population, and secondly, provide means by which to characterize and manipulate these cells in order to gain an understanding of the mechanisms of leukemogenesis. It was demonstrated that a leukemic longterm culture-initiating cell (LTC-IC) could be routinely detected under appropriate conditions, and also that most AML samples contain a mixture of normal and abnormal LTC-IC. The assay was shown to be quantitative, and calculation of the frequencies of both leukemic and normal LTC-IC in AML peripheral blood samples showed that the frequency of both is considerably higher than the frequency of LTC-IC in normal peripheral blood, suggesting that normal LTC-IC are mobilized as a part of the leukemic process. In addition, differences in the responses of normal and leukemic cells to various cytokines known to be active on normal LTC-IC were revealed. A second and more reliable assay for stem cells is the animal repopulation assay. The ability of a small subset of cells within AML samples to repopulate immunodeficient NOD/SCID mice was demonstrated, again confirming the existence of a rare stem cell in AML that is responsible for the maintenance of the leukemic clone. This cell was quantitated and its high proliferative capacity and self-renewal ability were demonstrated. Like the LTC system, this assay system provides a model in which to assess the manipulation of human AML cells, both for evaluation of therapeutic strategies and for dissecting the mechanisms of leukemogenesis. The second major goal of this work was to perform retroviral-mediated gene transfer into AML stem cells. It was found that colony-forming cells and LTC-IC were easily transduced under a variety of conditions, but that the NOD/SCID repopulation ability was impaired during the in vitro period required for transduction. When a variety of culture conditions, including the presence or absence of several cytokine combinations, were tested, all cases this ability was lost within 24 hours. Strategies for the selection of transduced cells were also investigated. Transfer of the murine heat stable antigen (HSA) gene, a cell surface molecule, enabled the enrichment of transduced cells using an immunomagnetic separation technique. It was also demonstrated that retroviral vectors pseudotyped with a gibbon ape leukemia virus were more efficient than those pseudotyped with the amphotropic envelope from the Moloney murine leukemia virus at transducing AML cells.

description: We introduce a notion of quasi-antisymmetric Higgs $G$-bundles over curves with marked points. They are endowed with additional structures, which replace the parabolic structures at marked points in the parabolic Higgs bundles. The latter means that the coadjoint orbits are attached to the marked points. The moduli spaces of parabolic Higgs bundles are the phase spaces of complex completely integrable systems. In our case the coadjoint orbits are replaced by the cotangent bundles over some special symmetric spaces in such a way that the moduli space of the modified Higgs bundles are still phase spaces of complex completely integrable systems. We show that the moduli space of the parabolic Higgs bundles is the symplectic quotient of the moduli space of the quasi-antisymmetric Higgs bundle with respect to the action of product of Cartan subgroups. Also, by changing the symmetric spaces we introduce quasi-compact and quasi-normal Higgs bundles. Then the fixed point sets of real involutions acting on their moduli spaces are the phase spaces of real completely integrable systems. Several examples are given including integrable extensions of the ${\rm SL}(2)$ Euler-Arnold top, two-body elliptic Calogero-Moser system and the rational ${\rm SL}(2)$ Gaudin system together with its real reductions.

The advantages of this method, which bridges the dimensional gap between lithographic and NC sizes, are (1) that all tunnel junctions are defined by self-assembly rather than lithography and (2) that the ratio of gate capacitance to total capacitance is high. The rich electronic behavior of a double-island device, measured at 4.2 K, is predicted in detail by combining finite element and Monte Carlo simulations with the standard theory of Coulomb blockade with very few adjustable parameters.

Numerical simulations of a shell model approximation to the Navier-Stokes equations suggest that the fluctuations in the force (acceleration) field are scale independent throughout the inertial regime. We conjecture that Lagrangian statistics of the relative velocity in a turbulent flow is determined by the typical force field, whereas the multiscaling is associated to extreme events in the force field fluctuations.

description: Weakly-supervised semantic segmentation (WSSS) is introduced to narrow the gap for semantic segmentation performance from pixel-level supervision to image-level supervision. Most advanced approaches are based on class activation maps (CAMs) to generate pseudo-labels to train the segmentation network. The main limitation of WSSS is that the process of generating pseudo-labels from CAMs that use an image classifier is mainly focused on the most discriminative parts of the objects. To address this issue, we propose Puzzle-CAM, a process that minimizes differences between the features from separate patches and the whole image. Our method consists of a puzzle module and two regularization terms to discover the most integrated region in an object. Puzzle-CAM can activate the overall region of an object using image-level supervision without requiring extra parameters. % In experiments, Puzzle-CAM outperformed previous state-of-the-art methods using the same labels for supervision on the PASCAL VOC 2012 test dataset.

description: We investigate the ground-state phase diagram of the spinful extended Haldane-Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice using an exact-diagonalization, mean-field variational approach, and further complement it with the infinite density matrix renormalization group, applied to an infinite honeycomb cylinder. This model, governed by both on-site and nearest-neighbor interactions, can result in two types of insulators with finite local order parameters, either with spin or charge ordering. Moreover, a third one, a topologically nontrivial insulator with nonlocal order, is also manifest. We test expectations of previous analyses in spinless versions asserting that once a local order parameter is formed, the topological characteristics of the ground state, associated with a finite Chern number, are no longer present, resulting in a topologically trivial wave function. Our study confirms this overall picture, and highlights how finite-size effects may result in misleading conclusions on the coexistence of finite local order parameters and nontrivial topology in this model.

Dowry payments in South Asia
Creators: name: Anderson, Kristin Siwan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: There is considerable evidence that dowry payments in India have not only increased over the last five decades, but that the custom has spread into regions and communities where it was never practiced before. The aim of this thesis is to understand why these changes have occurred. A particularly influential explanation is that rising dowries in India are concomitant with population growth. According to this interpretation, a population increase leads to an excess supply of brides since men marry younger women. As a result, dowry payments must rise in order to clear the marriage market. Reductions in the equilibrium age difference will tend to equalize the excess supply of women in the marriage market. It has been reasoned that the severe social and economic pressures associated with older unmarried daughters imply that households of older potential brides are willing to outbid the families of younger brides and that this competitive interaction places upward pressure on dowries. The first substantive chapter of this thesis explicitly models the dynamics of dowry payments when population grows. It points out some difficulties in making the theory reconcile the main observations relevant in the context of demographic change. In particular, there exist conditions under which population growth can cause dowries to decrease if the model is constrained from generating an increasing number of unmarried women. An alternative explanation is provided in the subsequent chapter which takes into account the phenomenon of caste. The explanation posits a process of modernisation which increases the heterogeneity of potential wealth within each caste. The new income-earning opportunities brought about by development are predominantly filled by men and as a result grooms become a relatively heterogeneous group compared to brides. If we perceive dowry as a bid that a bride makes for a groom of a certain market value, an increase in heterogeneity of grooms will increase the spread of dowries. Men who become more eligible in the marriage market will receive higher dowries, whereas the payments will decrease for those who are less eligible; however, average dowries may remain constant. The explanation as to why dowries also increase for the relatively less desirable grooms, and in turn average dowry payments necessarily increase, relies heavily on particularities of the caste system. Although there are numerous studies of the dowry phenomenon in India, research pertaining to the custom of dowry in the rest of South Asia is relatively sparse. The aim of the final chapter is to study dowry payments in Pakistan. Since an exploration of how they have evolved through time is not possible due to limitations of the data, the analysis focuses instead on the present role of dowry payments. The investigation concludes that the dowry phenomenon in Pakistan is similar to that occurring in India.

description: Cette note méthodologique s’adresse principalement aux décideurs et gestionnaires d’espaces marins méditerranéens pour lesquels la plongée sous-marine constitue un outil de suivi du milieu en utilisant les sciences participatives (protocoles d’observation standardisés, formation des observateurs, traitement et utilisation des données). Elle pourra être également utile à toute institution s’intéressant à l’utilisation de plateformes d’observation telles que POLARIS pour alimenter des stratégies de gestion de territoire à différentes échelles d’action. Enfin, cette note guidera les structures souhaitant utiliser les sciences participatives en plongée sous-marine en détaillant différents aspects scientifiques et techniques (protocoles de suivis, logistique, traitement et transfert des données, animation, formation, etc.). Cette note méthodologique a pour objectifs de (i) transcrire l’expérience acquise à travers POLARIS afin (ii) d’émettre des recommandations pour la mise en place de programmes similaires utilisant les sciences participatives en plongée pour (iii) permettre une reproductibilité et transférabilité de la démarche à plus large échelle, auprès d’aires marines protégées. L’entrée « plongeurs » sera privilégiée ici, car peu d’éléments existent sur les sciences participatives en plongée sous-marine. Cette note a été rédigée de manière commune par l’ensemble des partenaires et du Comité de Pilotage du programme POLARIS. Elle présente notamment des recommandations ainsi qu’une analyse critique des applications des sciences participatives avec la plateforme POLARIS et proposera alors une base pour la mise en place d’un observatoire citoyen du milieu marin et littoral à l’échelle de la métropole marseillaise.

description: Государственная Дума Российской Федерации, одобрив поправки к закону «О судебной системе», внесенные Президентом Российской Федерации, изменила судебную систему Российской Федерации, упразднив в ее субъектах конституционные и уставные суды. Эти же поправки закрепили за регионами право создавать свои конституционные (уставные) советы, но при законодательном органе власти. Перед правоведами возник актуальный вопрос осмысления регионального конституционного контроля в целом и формирования нового института – квазисудебных органов конституционного (уставного) контроля в субъектах Российской Федерации в частности. Целью данного исследования является анализ конституционных (уставных) судов субъектов Российской Федерации, их необходимости и причин упразднения, а также целесообразность перехода в системе регионального конституционного контроля к созданию конституционных (уставных) советов. Возникает потребность в установлении места, роли и задач новых органов контроля наряду с анализом деятельности предыдущих. Кроме того, целью данной работы является определение позиции региональных органов конституционного (уставного) контроля в системе защиты прав и свобод человека и гражданина на уровне субъекта Российской Федерации. Методологическую основу данной работы составляет комплексный подход к рассмотрению региональной системы конституционного (уставного) контроля, научный анализ модернизации института конституционной юстиции в регионах, влияние конституционной и судебной реформы 2020 года на защиту основных человеческих ценностей, закрепленных в учредительном законе субъекта федерации. Также предлагается проанализировать судьбу региональных нормативных правовых актов в свете конституционной реформы посредством традиционных методов научного познания с помощью специальных юридических методов сравнительно-правового и формально-юридического анализа. На основе сравнительно-правового метода в статье проведен анализ аналогичных квазисудебных органов конституционного контроля в зарубежных странах, в результате чего законодательные органы субъектов Российской Федерации имеют возможность правового применения проанализированного опыта в создании и деятельности конституционных (уставных) советов в своих регионах.
Crossing of the Cosmological Constant Boundary - an Equation of State Description

description: The phenomenon of the dark energy transition between the quintessence regime ($w > -1$) and the phantom regime ($w < -1$), also known as the cosmological constant boundary crossing, is analyzed in terms of the dark energy equation of state. It is found that the dark energy equation of state in the dark energy models which exhibit the transition is {\em implicitly} defined. The generalizations of the the models explicitly constructed to exhibit the transition are studied to gain insight into the mechanism of the transition. It is found that the cancellation of the terms corresponding to the cosmological constant boundary makes the transition possible.

description: Миграционное законодательство в последнее десятилетие стремительно развивается. Однако занятость в современной России выражается в активном использовании иностранной рабочей силы и на практике возникает проблема правового регулирования труда иностранных работников. Автор статьи обращает внимание на то, что необходимо развивать современную нормативно-правовую базу, что будет способствовать эффективному государственно-правовому регулированию миграционных отношений. В статье раскрываются ключевые дефиниции в этой области, анализируется современное состояние законодательства о трудовой миграции.

description: This paper empirically estimates cost functions for two milking technologies, stanchion and parlor, using farm level data from New York dairy farms for the years 1993 through 2002. A translog cost function was estimated along with input cost share equations for each milking technology by Iterative Seemingly Unrelated Regression. Any pair of inputs among feed, hired Labor, and cows had some degree of substitutability except for a pair of feed and hired labor evaluated by the Allen elasticity, and that of hired labor and feed evaluated by the Morishima elasticity. Additionally, economies of scale were found to exist over the entire range of output levels of the samples. The cost of stanchion technology was lower than that of parlor technology over the sample range of output levels of stanchion technology, but because parlor using farms were larger and costs continually decline, parlor using farms eventually experience lower costs than farms milking with stanchions.

description: Supplementary Material 4: Figure S4. WGS-DNAseq analyzed by TIDAL finds TE insertions that can exhibit signatures indicative of a “heterozygous” state, and somatic DNA copy number variation can shift and be more sporadic as flies age. (A) Box plot of the Coverage Ratio scores for all the TE insertions called by TIDAL from WGS-DNAseq libraries of w1118 flies from two adult ages, from Yang et al 2022.  (B) Snapshots of the Chromosome 2L from the w1118 flies from the Yang et al 2022 study, Copy Number Variation computed by the CONTROL-FREEC program shows that as flies age, the somatic genome copy number can start to fluctuate, and these fluctuations may also contribute to the varying Coverage Ratios in measuring TE insertions from WGS-DNAseq.

description: The geometric properties of a lattice can have profound consequences on its band spectrum. For example, symmetry constraints and geometric frustration can give rise to topologicially nontrivial and dispersionless bands, respectively. Line-graph lattices are a perfect example of both of these features: their lowest energy bands are perfectly flat, and here we develop a formalism to connect some of their geometric properties with the presence or absence of fragile topology in their flat bands. This theoretical work will enable experimental studies of fragile topology in several types of line-graph lattices, most naturally suited to superconducting circuits.

An Evaluation of Working Land and Open Space Preservation Programs in Maryland: Are They Paying Too Much?

description: Farmland preservation programs compensate landowners who enroll for the value lost due to the the restrictions on development applied to their land. These restrictions in principle decrease the value of the land. Yet few studies have found strong statistical evidence that preserved parcels sell for lower prices than unpreserved parcels. We use both a hedonic and a propensity score method to find that preserved parcels sell for 11.4 to 19.8% less than identical unpreserved parcels in Maryland. While significant, a decrease of less than 20% in land value is surprisingly small. If impacts to land value are small, could programs pay landowners less to enroll and thus enroll more land?
Essential Incompleteness of Arithmetic Verified by Coq

description: A constructive proof of the Goedel-Rosser incompleteness theorem has been completed using the Coq proof assistant. Some theory of classical first-order logic over an arbitrary language is formalized. A development of primitive recursive functions is given, and all primitive recursive functions are proved to be representable in a weak axiom system. Formulas and proofs are encoded as natural numbers, and functions operating on these codes are proved to be primitive recursive. The weak axiom system is proved to be essentially incomplete. In particular, Peano arithmetic is proved to be consistent in Coq's type theory and therefore is incomplete.
