description: Cities are ever changing and growing phenomenon with many underlying complexities. Through its life cycle, a city experiences various forms of dynamics. Models allow for a better understanding of such complexities and dynamics. The model developed in this thesis intends to simulate the dynamics of certain processes such as: an urban market, agent interactions in that market, urban growth, sprawl and shrinkage and gentrification. The purpose of this model is to understand the behavioral pattern of the agents and demonstrate the life cycle of a city based on individual agents’ actions. This model is significant in its integration of various subsystems creating a larger system while observing developers’ behavior. Specifically, the model explores some well-known issues, including the Smith’s rent-gap theory, Burgess’s concentric zones model of urban growth, and Alonso’s bid rent theory. The main results from the model show that the agents move to and reside in properties within their income range, with similar neighbors. This is one of the first models that provides a new lens to explore urban development.

description: The monogamy of entanglement means that entanglement cannot be freely shared. In 2014, Oliveira et al. [ Oliveira et al., Phys. Rev. A. 89, 034303 (2014)] proposed a monogamy relation in the linear version and considered it in terms of entanglement of formation. Here we generalize the above version and consider a multi-linear monogamy relation for a multi-qubit system in terms of entanglement of formation and concurrence. Based on the above results, we present an entanglement criterion for genuine entangled states, also we consider the absolutely maximally entangled states and present what an absolutely maximally entangled state is for a three-qubit system. At last, we apply our results to a three-qubit pure state in terms of quantum discord.
Topological multiferroic phases in the extended Kane-Mele-Hubbard Model in the Hofstadter regime

description: We investigate the new quantum phases on the extended Kane-Mele-Hubbard model of honeycomb lattice in the Hofstadter regime. In this regime, orbital motion of the electrons can induce various topological phases with spontaneously broken symmetries when the spin orbit coupling and electron correlations coexist. Here, we consider the interaction effects in the Kane-Mele model and discuss possible phases in the presence of magnetic field at integer fillings of electrons. In particular, focusing on 2π/3 magnetic flux per plaquette, the realization of numerous quantum phases are discussed within the mean field framework; insulator with coplanar magnetic ordering, ferrimagnetic Chern insulator with nematic charge order, ferrimagnetic-ferrielectric Chern insulators etc. Many of these phase transitions are also accompanied with the change in the topological invariants of the system. Based on our theoretical study, we propose topological multiferroic phases with a scope of realization in 2D van-der Waals materials and optical lattice system where the significant interplay of magnetic field, spin orbit coupling and interactions can be engineered.

description: We present a two channel eikonal calculation in which the rescattering through a diffractive channel is included in addition to the elastic channel. Considering the spread of the experimental data, we find that we can obtain a very good description of $\s_{tot}$, $\s_{el}$ and $B_{el}$ in the ISR - Tevatron energy range. In this range of energy the diffractive channel, that was included in our calculation, leads to a ratio of $\s_{SD}/\s_{el}$ which varies between 1 and 0.5 for $20 GeV \leq \sqrt{s} \leq 14 TeV$ in agreement with the experimental data. The calculated survival probability of dijet production with a large rapidity gap is consistent with the data.

Chemodynamics of dwarf galaxies under ram-pressure

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: By implementing a dynamic wind-tunnel model in a smoothed-particle chemodynamic/hydrodynamic simulation suite, we have investigated the effects of ram pressure and tidal forces on dwarf galaxies similar to the Magellanic Clouds, within host galaxies with gas and dark matter halos that are varied, to compare the relative effects of tides and ram pressure. We concentrate on how the distributions of metals are affected by interactions. We find that while ram pressure and tidal forces have some effect on dwarf galaxy outflows, these effects do not produce large differences in the metal distributions of the dwarf disks other than truncation in the outer regions in some cases, and that confinement from the host galaxy gas halo appears to be more significant than ram pressure stripping. We find that stochastic variations in the star formation rate can explain the remaining variations in disk metal properties. This raises questions on the cause of low metallicities in dwarf galaxies.

description: The low energy spin and charge excitations in the 2D Hubbard model near half filling are analyzed. The RPA spectra derived from inhomoheneous mean field textures are analyzed. Spin excitations show a commensurate peak at half filling, incommensurate peaks near half filling, and a broad background typical of a dilute Fermi liquid away from half filling. Charge excitations, near half filling, are localized near (0,0), and they occupy a small portion of the Brillouin Zone, in a way consistent with the existence of a small density of carriers, and a small Fermi surface. At higher hole densities, they fill the entire BZ, and can be understood in terms of a conventional Fermi liquid picture. The results are consistent with the observed features of the high-T$_c$ superconductors.

description: We calculate connected and disconnected contributions to the flavour singlet scalar density amplitude of the nucleon in a full QCD lattice simulation with $n_f=2$ dynamical Wilson fermions at $β=5.6$ on a $16^3 \times 32$ lattice. We find that both contributions are of similar size at the light quark mass. We arrive at the estimate $σ_{πN} = 18(5)$MeV. Its smallness is directly related to the apparent decrease of $u$, $d$ quark masses when unquenching QCD lattice simulations. The $y$ parameter can be estimated from a semi-quenched analysis, in which there are no strange quarks in the sea, the result being $y=0.59(13)$.}

description: I examine the existence of zero energy fermion solutions (zero modes) on cosmic strings in an SO(10) grand unified theory. The current carrying capability of a cosmic string formed at one phase transition can be modified at subsequent phase transitions. I show that the zero modes may be destroyed and the conductivity of the string altered. I discuss the cosmological implications of this, and show that it allows vorton bounds to be relaxed.

In addition, a deviation of $1.5σ$ from the standard model prediction has been witnessed in $\mathcal B(B \to τν)$ mediated via $b \to u\,l\,ν$ charged current interactions as well. Motivated by the anomalies present in $B$ and $B_c$ meson decays, we analyze the corresponding $B_s \to (K,\,K^{\ast})\,τ\,ν$ and $B \to πτν$ semileptonic decays within the standard model and beyond. We use an effective field theory formalism in which $b \to c$ and $b \to u$ semileptonic decays are assumed to exhibit similar new physics patterns. We give the predictions of various observables such as the branching fractions, ratio of branching ratios, lepton side forward backward asymmetry, lepton polarization fraction and convexity parameter for $B_s \to (K,\,K^{\ast})τν$ and $B \to πτν$ decay channels within the standard model and within various NP scenarios.

description: Evaluating continuing professional development (CPD) programs is essential to demonstrate their value to participants and their institutions, and to inform the improvement and quality of CPD programs. Existing surveys measure a narrow range of impacts. This study developed a survey that can measure a broad range of impacts of CPD programs, not just those that are easily measured such as knowledge, skills, attitudes and confidence. The development of the CPD Impacts Survey (CPDIS) was informed by best practice guidelines. A systematic scoping review, qualitative interviews, and existing survey instruments were used to develop the initial survey items. Past participants from two international health professions education institutes completed the survey (n = 292). Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to refine the survey. The PCA provided a three-component solution. Component 1 (learnings and self-efficacy), Component 2 (networking and building community), and Component 3 (achievement and validation) comprising 47, 14, and 13 items, respectively. The three components had high internal consistency (α = .98, α = .95, α = .92, respectively). The CPDIS is the first survey to assess a broader range of impacts of CPD programs. Given the substantial financial and opportunity costs of participation in CPD, the CPDIS will allow more efficient and accurate evaluation of the utility and value of CPD programs.

Spin Correlation in tt-bar Production from pp-bar Collisions at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV

description: The D0 collaboration has performed a study of spin correlation in tt-bar production for the process tt-bar to bb-bar W^+W^-, where the W bosons decay to e-nu or mu-nu. A sample of six events was collected during an exposure of the D0 detector to an integrated luminosity of approximately 125 pb^-1 of sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV pp-bar collisions. The standard model (SM) predicts that the short lifetime of the top quark ensures the transmission of any spin information at production to the tt-bar decay products. The degree of spin correlation is characterized by a correlation coefficient k. We find that k>-0.25 at the 68% confidence level, in agreement with the SM prediction of k=0.88.

description: Generalizing previous work of Hora (1998) on the asymptotic spectral analysis for the Hamming graph $H(n,q)$ which is the $n^{\mathrm{th}}$ Cartesian power $K_q^{\square n}$ of the complete graph $K_q$ on $q$ vertices, we describe the possible limits of the joint spectral distribution of the pair $(G^{\square n},\overline{G}\vphantom{G}^{\square n})$ of the $n^{\mathrm{th}}$ Cartesian powers of a strongly regular graph $G$ and its complement $\overline{G}$, where we let $n\rightarrow\infty$, and $G$ may vary with $n$. This result is an analogue of the bivariate central limit theorem, and we obtain in this way the bivariate Poisson distributions and the standard bivariate Gaussian distribution, together with the product measures of univariate Poisson and Gaussian distributions. We also report a family of bivariate hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials with respect to the last distributions, which we call the bivariate Charlier-Hermite polynomials, and prove basic formulas for them. This family of orthogonal polynomials seems previously unnoticed, possibly because of its peculiarity.

description: Patients presenting with undifferentiated illnesses provide valuable learning opportunities for medical students. Evidence detailing the factors that affect patient participation in undergraduate medical education is limited. This study examines how patients regard their participation in teaching consultations in primary care. We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire survey in four GP practices. We tested the relationship between variables of interest and willingness to participate, using hierarchical logistic regression. We analysed 525 questionnaires. 88% of respondents were willing to have students take part in their consultation, and 72% were willing to see a student alone before seeing the doctor. Older patients and those with less sensitive clinical problems were more likely to participate. Willingness to participate was also associated with patients’ perceptions of certain costs and benefits of participation. Respondents had poor knowledge about medical education, and a sizeable minority perceived a lack of autonomy about the presence of students in their encounters. More than one-third of respondents expressed the presence of a clinician as a precondition for approval of students’ performing some active roles. The findings have identified potential interventions to enhance patient involvement including patient education, respecting patient autonomy, and ensuring appropriate student supervision.

Subjects: subject: Latent Prints
subject: Forensic science

description: The drive to preserve and collect latent prints has led to the creation of innovative products and technologies. However, because of the increasing variety of the implements, supplementary research was necessary to ensure appropriate application of these products dependent on circumstances, environments, and availability. Further, crime scene technicians and departments, who rely on experience and accessibility of materials, also need current information on product capabilities and limitations. This research compared AccuTrans, First Contact polymer solution, and Elmer’s glue as casting materials applied to latent prints developed with dual-use black powder. The latent prints samples (n=60) were deposited on either flat or curved substrates, and then preserved with one of the three casting materials. Evaluation of the collected latent prints included: whether friction ridge detail was present, how many individual characteristics could be observed with a restriction of 10, and how many levels of friction ridge detail were represented. The results of this study indicated that no matter which casting material was selected, there was no significant variation in the ability of the materials to perform (p=.794) and successfully collect a developed latent print for examination on certain substrates (p=.462). Individually the casting materials had observable strengths and weaknesses such as short or extended dry times, deformation after collection, and ease of collection.

Methods for removing even-parity ground-state contaminations from the two-point correlation functions at zero and finite momenta are outlined. We investigate the properties of two odd-parity interpolating fields based on the established interpolating fields for the nucleon ground state. Isolation of the lowest-lying odd-parity state appears to be sufficient to begin exploring odd-parity $N \to N^*$ electromagnetic transition form factors.

description: We use a machine learning approach to identify the importance of microstructure characteristics in causing magnetization reversal in ideally structured large-grained Nd$_2$Fe$_{14}$B permanent magnets. The embedded Stoner-Wohlfarth method is used as a reduced order model for determining local switching field maps which guide the data-driven learning procedure. The predictor model is a random forest classifier which we validate by comparing with full micromagnetic simulations in the case of small granular test structures. In the course of the machine learning microstructure analysis the most important features explaining magnetization reversal were found to be the misorientation and the position of the grain within the magnet. The lowest switching fields occur near the top and bottom edges of the magnet. While the dependence of the local switching field on the grain orientation is known from theory, the influence of the position of the grain on the local coercive field strength is less obvious. As a direct result of our findings of the machine learning analysis we show that edge hardening via Dy-diffusion leads to higher coercive fields.

description: Programmatic assessment (PA) is an increasingly popular approach to competency-based assessment (CBA), yet evaluation evidence is limited. This study aimed to identify and explore supervisor attitudes before and after implementing a novel PA using a sequential explanatory mixed methods design. In phase one, a survey was used to identify supervisor perspectives on work-based placements, PA and CBA. Survey results were then applied to develop focus group questions to further explore supervisor attitudes. PA was found to improve supervisor-student relationships by removing high-stakes assessment decisions and creating greater capacity for feedback and teaching, leading to a productive learning environment. Assessment was perceived as an important role and supervisors wanted to feel valued and heard within PA. Trust was conceptualised as a triad between supervisor, student and university, and enabled supervisors to engage with PA which was important for success. Supervisor learning of PA was experiential and often supported by students, highlighting the need for hands-on training. Participants reported a high level of agreement with PA and CBA principles which may have made them amenable to educational change. Further research is needed to explore the experience of all stakeholders and to understand how worldviews and culture influence assessment initiatives.

We also include spin-orbit interactions, hopping between ground and excited crystal field states of the Cu ions, and rather general Coulomb interactions. Our analytic results for the spin Hamiltonian, H, are corroborated by numerical evaluations of the energy splitting of the ground manifold for two holes on either a pair of Cu ions or a Cu-O-Cu complex. In the tetragonal symmetry case and for the model considered, we prove that H is rotationally invariant in the absence of Coulomb exchange. When Coulomb exchange is present, each bond Hamiltonian has full biaxial anisotropy, as expected for this symmetry. For lower symmetry situations, the single bond spin Hamiltonian is anisotropic at order t**6 for constant U and at order t**2 for nonconstant U. (Constant U means that the Coulomb interaction between orbitals does not depend on which orbitals are involved.)

description: Persons with physical disabilities have difficulty accessing health care. This has become more pronounced with the emergence of managed care and other efforts to limit growing healthcare costs. In responding to a state's Medicaid office interest in designing accessible health services, a consumer-based evaluation including a series of nine focus groups (96 participants) was conducted using an emergent design method. Our inductive analysis approach identified difficulties and provided the basis for recommending strategies to improve access. Two sets of consumer recommended strategies consistently were expressed during this process: (1) initiating one-to-one advocacy to improve local service coordination and (2) performing person-centered planning at enrollment in a managed care plan to facilitate appropriate and prompt access. These access strategies formed the basis for a later intervention design.

description: In the conventional QCD sum rule calculation for the $πNN$ coupling beyond the soft-pion limit, there are three distinct Dirac structures, each of which can be used to construct separate sum rule. We point out subtleties in the previous sum rule results, based on one of the Dirac structure, associated with using either the PV or the PS coupling schemes in modeling the phenomenological side. We propose a sum rule coming from a different Dirac structure, which is independent of the coupling schemes used and has less uncertainty in the OPE. The obtained value is $g_{πN}=9.76 \pm 2.04$ where the uncertainty mainly comes from the quark-gluon mixed condensate.

description: In this paper we show the usability of the Gray code with constant weight words for computing linear combinations of codewords. This can lead to a big improvement of the computation time for finding the minimum distance of a code. We have also considered the usefulness of combinatorial $2$-$(t,k,1)$ designs when there are memory limitations to the number of objects (linear codes in particular) that can be tested for equivalence.

description: We estimate the cross section for gamma p -> Upsilon p by two independent methods. First, by studying the corrections to the naive leading-order QCD formula and, second, by using parton-hadron duality. The estimates are in good agreement with each other and with the recent measurements of the cross section at HERA.

title: A Study of RNA Editing in Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclears and Endotheliocytes by NextGen Sequencing

description: RNA editing is a process of post-transcriptional modification of the nucleotide sequence in a transcript that leads to a change in the information content of the RNA. The alteration of nucleotides in the mRNA can have several consequences at the molecular level, including modified protein products as well as creation or deletion of splice sites. Two types of RNA editing have been known to take place in mRNA: Adenosine (A) to Inosine (I) and Cytidine (C) to Uridine (U), both of which involve deamination of the nucleotide with the help of deaminase enzymes. The “A to I” RNA editing is facilitated by deaminating enzymes known as ADARs (Adenosine Deaminase that Act on RNA). ADARs specifically recognize double stranded RNA structure or RNA duplex structure as their substrate. Though previous studies have shown some evidence of low level sporadic occurrence of RNA editing in other human tissues, brain remains to be the only tissue where RNA editing has been studied systematically. In this study, we investigated “A to I” RNA editing in human PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells). We were also interested in looking at RNA editing in the umbilical endotheliocytes that are capable of producing interferons. Specifically, the cDNA derived from PBMCs and endothelial cells, was sequenced by NextGen sequencing. The PBMCs’ genomic DNA was sequenced by Sanger sequencing and the sequences were analyzed. Since inosine is recognized as guanosine (G) by most enzymes, A-to-I substitution leads to A-to-G transition in the edited substrate and therefore, any kind of “A to I” RNA editing event will be detected as A to G changes in the transcripts. The multiple sequence alignment tool SeqmanPro was used to assemble all the transcripts together, which revealed that the A to G change frequency was significantly high over 14% in TLR2 at a specific site, in most of the samples of PBMCs and endotheliocytes. At the same consensus position 26, the PMBCs genomic DNA possessed an Adenosine, which was confirmed by the distinct peak in the chromatogram obtained from Sequencher software. The presence of these A to G mismatches within the transcripts, therefore, suggests that “A to I” RNA editing takes place in PBMCs and in endothelial cells.

description: The ARGO-YBJ experiment consists of a RPC carpet to be operated at the Yangbajing laboratory (Tibet, P.R. China), 4300 m a.s.l., and devoted to the detection of showers initiated by photon primaries in the energy range 100 GeV - 20 TeV. The measurement technique, namely the timing on the shower front with a few tens of particles, requires RPC operation with 1 ns time resolution, low strip multiplicity, high efficiency and low single counting rate. We have tested RPCs with many gas mixtures, at sea level, in order to optimize these parameters. The results of this study are reported.

title: Zu wenig oder zu viel? Warum Dankbarkeit im Rahmen der Gabe-Theorie betrachtet werden sollte

description: In Schnitzlers Erzählung „Wohltaten still und rein gegeben“ geht es zentral um das Betteln. Die Hauptfigur erhält eine größere Geldgabe, will aber die Dankesschuld nicht übernehmen, die damit verbunden ist. Der Empfänger der Gabe glaubt, durch das Akzeptieren der Dankesschuld den Status eines Bettlers zugewiesen zu bekommen. Der Beitrag interpretiert Schnitzlers Erzählung neu, und zwar stärker gabentheoretisch. Dies erlaubt eine andere Perspektive als die von Nisters auf die Asymmetrien, die durch Wohltaten entstehen, und wirft die Frage auf, in welchen Fällen sie ausgeglichen werden sollten, falls sie überhaupt ausgeglichen werden können. Beim Betteln gibt es auf beiden Seiten Unsicherheiten über die Bewertung der Größe der Gabe; in der Erzählung kippt die Bewertung von „zu groß“ in „zu wenig“. Allgemein ist beim Geben, so die These, „zu viel“ ebenso problematisch wie „zu wenig“: Im ersten Fall verpflichtet der Gebende den Empfänger in unstatthafter Weise, nämlich so, dass er sich nicht revanchieren kann und sich dadurch erniedrigt fühlt. Im zweiten kommt der Geber einer unausgesprochenen Verpflichtung nicht nach, dem Anderen vom eigenen Wohlstand in angemessener Weise abzugeben und demütigt den Empfänger durch die Geringfügigkeit. Beim Ausgleich von Gabe und Gegengabe, auch durch Dankbarkeit, geht es nicht um exakte Symmetrie, sondern um Angemessenheit an die Situation. Eine Dankesschuld, zu der man sich gegen den eigenen Willen und damit zu Unrecht verpflichtet fühlt, kann als dunkle Seite der Dankbarkeit verstanden werden. Eine solche Schuld verwandelt das Gefühl von Dankbarkeit in Ärger.
