description: We investigate the ground state properties and the nonequilibrium dynamics of a lattice trapped bosonic mixture consisting of an impurity species and a finite-sized medium. For the case of one as well as two impurities we observe that, depending on the lattice depth and the interspecies interaction strength, a transition from a strongly delocalized to a localized impurity distribution occurs. In the latter regime the two species phase separate, thereby forming a particle-hole pair. For two impurities we find that below a critical lattice depth they are delocalized among two neighboring outer lattice wells and are two-body correlated. This transition is characterized by a crossover from strong to a suppressed interspecies entanglement for increasing impurity-medium repulsion. Turning to the dynamical response of the mixture, upon quenching the interspecies repulsion to smaller values, we reveal that the predominant tunneling process for a single impurity corresponds to that of a particle-hole pair, whose dynamical stability depends strongly on the quench amplitude. During the time-evolution a significant increase of the interspecies entanglement is observed, caused by the build-up of a superposition of states and thus possesses a many-body nature. In the case of two bosonic impurities the particle-hole pair process becomes unstable in the course of the dynamics with the impurities aggregating in adjacent lattice sites while being strongly correlated.

description: Η χρήση χημικών ουσιών και προϊόντων φαίνεται αυτονόητη στην καθημερινή μας ζωή. Από τη σχεδίαση και ανάπτυξη ενός προϊόντος όμως μέχρι την κυκλοφορία και τη διάθεσή του στην αγορά υπάρχουν πολλά στάδια που πρέπει ο παρασκευαστής να λάβει υπόψη του ώστε να συμβαδίζει με τις απαιτήσεις και τις προδιαγραφές που οφείλονται να τηρούνται. Ένα προϊόν θα πρέπει να είναι ασφαλές και να μη θέτει σε κίνδυνο το περιβάλλον ή τον άνθρωπο. Με την ύπαρξη κανονισμών όπως ο REACH, ο CLP 1272/2008, δημιουργείται μία κοινή βάση για τα προϊόντα και τις χημικές ουσίες που τα απαρτίζουν. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία, αρχικά γίνεται μία ανασκόπηση των κανονισμών που ισχύουν σήμερα. Στη συνέχεια παραθέτονται τα στάδια για την κυκλοφορία ενός προϊόντος στην αγορά και η διαδικασία που ακολουθείται για την αδειοδότησή τους. Μέσα από τη μελέτη πέντε προϊόντων για το αυτοκίνητο παρουσιάζονται αναλυτικά οι διαδικασίες που ακολουθούνται για το σχεδιασμό της απαραίτητης ετικέτας για την κυκλοφορία των προϊόντων αυτών στην αγορά.
description: The use of chemicals and products seems self-evident in our daily lives. From designing and developing a product to marketing and distribution, there are many steps a manufacturer must follow to keep pace with the requirements and specifications that must be met. A product should be safe and not endanger the environment or humans. With regulations such as REACH, CLP 1272/2008, a common ground is laid for the products and chemicals that make them up. In the present work, a review of the current regulations is made and the procedure for licencing a product is presented. Afterwards, the steps for marketing a product are being described. Through the study of five products for the car, the procedures followed for designing the label according regulations, and for the release of these products on the market, are presented in detail.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of video conferencing tools, like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, for online presentations in academic and professional settings. However, concerns regarding the balance between interactivity and comfort have arisen, especially when it comes to sharing the video stream during online presentations. This thesis explores an approach of utilizing image analysis techniques to automatically detect non-verbal cues of participants of online presentations from their webcam stream, to infer knowledge about their engagement and confusion while listening to a presentation, reducing the need of having to share their webcam video. Furthermore, the thesis studies how this information can be communicated effectively to the presenter to address thelimitations associated with camera-disabled presentations.The thesis presents a multiphased methodology: the initial phase involves synthesizing insights from existing literature and related projects to develop a functional prototype. Focus groups with participants experienced in online presentations were conducted to further inform the design of this prototype. The prototype was subsequently subjected to user studies comprising questionnaires and interviews to assess its usability and subjective user experience.This work aims to contribute by bridging the gap between interactivity and comfort in online presentations. It offers a solution proposal that enhances feedback for presenters, provides valuable insights for the design of future video conferencing tools, and offers an outlook to optimize the online presentation experience. Evaluation of the prototype with 13 participants in a simulated online presentation environment showed that experienced presenters value the additional feedback stream. Furthermore, listeners being subjected to automatic detection of engagement and confusion rated the technology to be more comfortable than having to share their webcam video during the presentation. This thesis paves the way for further work, particularly into the field of Human-AI interaction.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We investigate charged lepton flavor violating (CFLV) processes in the `neutrinophilic Higgs+seesaw model', in which right-handed neutrinos couple only with an extra Higgs field which develops a tiny VEV and the right-handed neutrinos also have Majorana mass. The model realizes a seesaw mechanism around TeV scale without extremely small Dirac Yukawa couplings. A phenomenological feature of the model is CFLV processes induced by loop diagrams of the charged scalar particles and heavy neutrinos. Therefore, first we constrain the model's parameter space from the search for $μ\to eγ$. Next, we predict the branching ratios of other CFLV processes including the $μ\to3e$, $μ+{\rm Al}\to e+{\rm Al}$, $μ+{\rm Ti}\to e+{\rm Ti}$, $Z\to eμ$, $Z\to eτ$, $Z\to μτ$, $h\to eτ$, $h\toμτ$ processes, and discuss their detectability in future experiments.

A generalised model for asymptotically-scale-free geographical networks

description: We consider a generalised d-dimensional model for asymptotically-scale-free geographical networks. Central to many networks of this kind, when considering their growth in time, is the attachment rule, i.e. the probability that a new node is attached to one (or more) preexistent nodes. In order to be more realistic, a fitness parameter $η_i \in [0,1]$ for each node $i$ of the network is also taken into account to reflect the ability of the nodes to attract new ones. Our d-dimensional model takes into account the geographical distances between nodes, with different probability distribution for $η$ which sensibly modifies the growth dynamics. The preferential attachment rule is assumed to be $Π_i\propto k_i η_i r_{ij}^{-α_A} $ where $k_i$ is the connectivity of the $i$th pre-existing site and $α_A$ characterizes the importance of the euclidean distance r for the network growth. For special values of the parameters, this model recovers respectively the Bianconi-Barabási and the Barabási-Albert ones. The present generalised model is asymptotically scale-free in all cases, and its degree distribution is very well fitted with q-exponential distributions, which optimise the nonadditive entropy $S_q$, given by $p(k) \propto e_q^{-k/κ} \equiv 1/[1+(q-1)k/κ]^{1/(q-1)}$, with $(q,κ)$ depending uniquely only on the ratio $α_A/d$ and the fitness distribution. Hence this model constitutes a realization of asymptotically-scale-free geographical networks within nonextensive statistical mechanics, where $k$ plays the role of energy and $κ$ plays the role of temperature. General scaling laws are also found for q as a function of the parameters of the model.

description: BACKGROUND: Allergen exposure and air pollution are two risk factors for asthma development and airway inflammation that have been examined extensively in isolation. The impact of combined allergen and diesel exhaust exposure has received considerably less attention. Diesel exhaust (DE) is a major contributor to ambient particulate matter (PM) air pollution, which can act as an adjuvant to immune responses and augment allergic inflammation. We aimed to clarify whether DE increases allergen-induced inflammation and cellular immune response in the airways of atopic human subjects. METHODS: Twelve atopic subjects were exposed to DE 300 μg.m-³ or filtered air for 2 h in a blinded crossover study design with a four-week washout period between arms. One hour following either filtered air or DE exposure, subjects were exposed to allergen or saline (vehicle control) via segmental challenge. Forty-eight hours post-allergen or control exposure, bronchial biopsies were collected. The study design generated 4 different conditions: filtered air + saline (FAS), DE + saline (DES), filtered air + allergen (FAA) and DE + allergen (DEA). Biopsies sections were immunostained for tryptase, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), neutrophil elastase (NE), CD138, CD4 and interleukin (IL)-4. The percent positivity of positive cells were quantified in the bronchial submucosa. RESULTS: The percent positivity for tryptase expression and ECP expression remained unchanged in the bronchial submucosa in all conditions. CD4 % positive staining in DEA (0.311 ± 0.060) was elevated relative to FAS (0.087 ± 0.018; p = 0.035). IL-4 % positive staining in DEA (0.548 ± 0.143) was elevated relative to FAS (0.127 ± 0.062; p = 0.034). CD138 % positive staining in DEA (0.120 ± 0.031) was elevated relative to FAS (0.017 ± 0.006; p = 0.015), DES (0.044 ± 0.024; p = 0.040), and FAA (0.044 ± 0.008; p = 0.037). CD138 % positive staining in FAA (0.044 ± 0.008) was elevated relative to FAS (0.017 ± 0.006; p = 0.049). NE percent positive staining in DEA (0.224 ± 0.047) was elevated relative to FAS (0.045 ± 0.014; p = 0.031). CONCLUSIONS: In vivo allergen and DE co-exposure results in elevated CD4, IL-4, CD138 and NE in the respiratory submucosa of atopic subjects, while eosinophils and mast cells are not changed.

description: Coupled-wire constructions offer particularly simple and powerful models to capture the essence of strongly correlated topological phases of matter. They often rely on effective theories valid in the low-energy and strong coupling limits, which impose severe constraints on the physical systems where they could be realized. We investigate the microscopic relevance of a class of coupled-wire models and their possible experimental realization in cold-atom experiments. We connect with earlier results and prove the emergence of fractional quantum Hall states in the limit of strong inter-wire tunneling. Contrary to previous studies relying on renormalization group arguments, our microscopic approach exposes the connection between coupled-wire constructions and model wavefunctions in continuum Landau levels. Then, we use exact diagonalization methods to investigate the appearance of these fractional quantum Hall states in more realistic settings. We examine the parameter regimes where these strongly correlated phases arise, and provide a way to detect their appearance in cold-atom experiments through standard time-of-flight measurements. Motivated by this experimental probe, we finally propose a realization of our model with cold-atom in spin-dependent optical lattices. Our estimates show that the previous fractional quantum Hall phases lie within experimentally accessible parameter regimes, giving a viable route towards their experimental study.

description: Consumers find food date labels confusing. Industry groups and policy makers intend to resolve the confusion by creating a single label for safety and another for quality. In a survey of consumers concerning anticipated consumption given various date labels, we find differential responses across products, leading us to conclude that new labels may not necessarily reduce waste.

Highly Embedded 8 micron Cores of Star Formation in the Spiral Arms and Filaments of 15 Nearby Disk Galaxies

description: Spitzer Space Telescope observations of 15 spiral galaxies show numerous dense cores at 8 microns that are revealed primarily in unsharp mask images. The cores are generally invisible in optical bands because of extinction, and they are also indistinct at 8 microns alone because of contamination by more widespread diffuse emission. Several hundred core positions, magnitudes, and colors from the four IRAC bands are measured and tabulated for each galaxy. The larger galaxies, which tend to have longer and more regular spiral arms, often have their infrared cores aligned along these arms, with additional cores in spiral arm spurs. Galaxies without regular spirals have their cores in more irregular spiral-like filaments, with typically only one or two cores per filament. Nearly every elongated emission feature has 8 micron cores strung out along its length. The occurrence of dense cores in long and thin filaments is reminiscent of filamentary star formation in the solar neighborhood, although on a scale 100 times larger in galaxies. The cores most likely form by gravitational instabilities and cloud agglomeration in the filaments. The simultaneous occurrence of several cores with regular spacings in some spiral arms suggests that in these cases, all of the cores formed at about the same time and the corresponding filaments are young. Total star formation rates for the galaxies correlate with the total embedded stellar masses in the cores with an average ratio corresponding to a possible age between 0.2 Myr and 2 Myr. This suggests that the identified cores are the earliest phase for most star formation.

description: The present post-graduate study entitled “Nietzsche’s philosophical influence on Nikos Kazantzakis thought” attempts a critical assessment of Nietzche’s influence on the written contribution of the magnificent greek author. It consists of two parts, in the first of which an expatiation to these two thinkers is conducted. Specifically, the life and work of those two theorists is being analyzed, as well as basic philosophical questions that are held in their work. The aim of the first part is to point out the common ratiocination of those two personalities. In the second part, I focuse my analysis on the saliency of Nietzschean elements of the fictions that are written in the title of the present study. The structure of the post-graduate study is intentional; and I am saying that, because before understanding the influence of Nietzsche on Kazantzakis’ fictions; The Spiritual Exercises, Zorba the Greek and Report to Greco, is necessary the presentation of the common philosophical background that reside in their world view.

description: We discuss the motion of extended objects in a spacetime by considering a gravitational field created by these objects. We define multipole moments of the objects as a classification by Lie group SO(3). Then, we construct an energy-momentum tensor for the objects and derive equations of motion from it. As a result, we reproduce the Papapetrou equations for a spinning particle. Furthermore, we will show that we can obtain more simple equations than the Papapetrou equations by changing the center-of-mass.

description: We study the equilibrium behaviour of a deterministic four-state mutation-selection model as a model for the evolution of a population of nucleotide sequences in sequence space. The mutation model is the Kimura 3ST mutation scheme, and the selection scheme is assumed to be invariant under permutation of sites. Considering the evolution process both forward and backward in time, we use the ancestral distribution as the stationary state of the backward process to derive an expression for the mutational loss (as the difference between ancestral and population mean fitness), and we prove a maximum principle that determines the population mean fitness in mutation-selection balance.

description: We present phase-resolved XMM_Newton data of three short period polars: V347 Pav, GG Leo and EU UMa. All three systems show one dominant accretion region which is seen for approximately half of the orbital cycle. GG Leo shows a strong dip feature in its X-ray and UV light curves which is due to absorption of X-rays from the accretion site by the accretion stream. The emission in the case of EU UMa is dominated by soft X-rays: its soft/hard X-ray ratio is amongst the highest seen in these objects. In contrast, GG Leo and V347 Pav shows a ratio consistent with that predicted by the standard shock model. We infer the mass of the white dwarf and explore the affect of restricting the energy range on the derived parameters.

description: We look for classical traces of the Unruh effect in gravity waves. For this purpose, we start considering a white noise state of gravity waves on the surface of a water basin and calculate the two- and four-point functions of the Fourier transform of the surface-height field with respect to accelerated observers. The influence of the basin boundaries and possible deviations from Gaussianity in the white noise state are considered in order to approximate conditions attainable in the laboratory. Eventually, we make the basin infinitely large in order to make contact between our classical results and quantum ones derived in free space. We hope that our results help to strengthen the bridge between the Unruh effect and this classical analog.

description: Results of a 4 year monitoring campaign of the SMC using the Rossi X-ray timing Explorer (RXTE) are presented. This large dataset makes possible detailed investigation of a significant sample of SMC X-ray binaries. 8 new X-ray pulsars were discovered and a total of 20 different systems were detected. Spectral and timing parameters were obtained for 18. In the case of 10 pulsars, repeated outbursts were observed, allowing determination of candidate orbital periods for these systems. We also discuss the spatial and pulse period distributions of the SMC pulsars.

description: Adaptation and Validation of the New Indices of Religious Orientation Revised ScaleObjective. The purpose of this study was to adapt and validate the New Indices of Religious Orientation Revised (NIROR) scale, which has been developed in different cultural settings, for a study of Pakistani university students. The NIROR was developed by Francis, Fawcett, Robbins, and Stairs (2016), consisting of 27 items for Canadian-Christian respondents. It measures intrinsic religious orientation, extrinsic religious orientation, and quest religious orientation. Method. In this study, we have culturally adapted the scale for Pakistani sample. The validity indices were ascertained on a sample of 300 participants, these included; undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students taken from different departments of four universities of Islamabad. Results. The EFA, using the common factor analysis method, resulted in the final structure of the scale into 18 items with four factors, the first factor's reliability was α = .87, the second factor's α = .82, the third factor's α = .79 and the fourth factor's α =.75. EFA was followed by the CFA on a new sample (n=498) to confirm the factors' structure. The CFA revealed a good model fit for the four factors solution of this scale that is χ2 (125) = 291.34; χ2 /df = 2.33; root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = .05; goodness-of-fit index (GFI) = .94; Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) = .93; confirmatory fit index (CFI) = .94; normed fit index (NFI) =.90. Conclusion. It is concluded that the adapted version with four factors is a reliable and valid measure to be used for Muslim adults in the Pakistani context.
Home sweet home : home support and the development of early literacy skills
Creators: name: Gaylord, Danielle
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: In the current this project, I explore the issues of children who struggle in terms of their early literacy skill acquisition, and how to support the development of these skills in the home environment. By examining this topic through the lens of Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory, I highlight the importance of the nature and quality of interactions between a young child and a more-knowledgeable other (MKO). Motivation and self-determination theory also suggest that a child’s level of interest is paramount in regards to their participation and level of engagement in literacy activities. In this project, I conduct a review of relevant literature that indicated that the types of support provided at home to children who struggle with the development of their early literacy skills play an important role in the development of these early literacy skills. More specifically, the instructional quality of parent-child dialogue, both in literacy-based activities such as shared reading as well as in everyday conversation, is related to the development of children’s early literacy skills. The affective climate within parent-child literacy experiences has also been found to be associated with children’s reading motivations. Furthermore, the presence of older siblings who serve as MKOs and the literacy-based activities that young children engage in with these MKOs provide opportunities for rich and enjoyable learning experiences. Lastly, there are different types of reading materials that expose children to rich language and increase children’s motivation to engage in literacy activities. In connection with this project, I have created a website describing how the development of children’s early literacy skills and various types of support provided in the home environment are related. I provide parents with a summary of relevant research and I also put forth recommendations for parents and educators to promote the development of children’s early literacy skills.

The surrogate matrix methodology: Accelerating isogeometric analysis of waves

description: The surrogate matrix methodology delivers low-cost approximations of matrices (i.e., surrogate matrices) which are normally computed in Galerkin methods via element-scale quadrature formulas. In this paper, the methodology is applied to a number of model problems in wave mechanics treated in the Galerkin isogeometic setting. Herein, the resulting surrogate methods are shown to significantly reduce the assembly time in high frequency wave propagation problems. In particular, the assembly time is reduced with negligible loss in solution accuracy. This paper also extends the scope of previous articles in its series by considering multi-patch discretizations of time-harmonic, transient, and nonlinear PDEs as particular use cases of the methodology. Our a priori error analysis for the Helmholtz equation demonstrates that the additional consistency error introduced by the presence of surrogate matrices is independent of the wave number. In addition, our floating point analysis establishes that the computational complexity of the methodology compares favorably to other contemporary fast assembly techniques for isogeometric methods. Our numerical experiments demonstrate clear performance gains for time-harmonic problems, both with and without the presence of perfectly matched layers. Notable speed-ups are also presented for a transient problem with a compressible neo-Hookean material.

description: In this paper we present a novel approach to credit scoring of retail customers in the banking industry based on deep learning methods. We used RNNs on fine grained transnational data to compute credit scores for the loan applicants. We demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms the baselines based on the customer data of a large European bank. We also conducted a pilot study on loan applicants of the bank, and the study produced significant financial gains for the organization. In addition, our method has several other advantages described in the paper that are very significant for the bank.

description: We propose that the indirect adatom-adatom interaction mediated by the conduction electrons of a metallic surface is responsible for the $\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{3}\Leftrightarrow 3\times 3$ structural phase transitions observed in Sn/Ge (111) and Pb/Ge (111). When the indirect interaction overwhelms the local stress field imposed by the substrate registry, the system suffers a phonon instability, resulting in a structural phase transition in the adlayer. Our theory is capable of explaining all the salient features of the $\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{3}\Leftrightarrow 3\times 3$ transitions observed in Sn/Ge (111) and Pb/Ge (111), and is in principle applicable to a wide class of systems whose surfaces are metallic before the transition.
