Learning internationalism : NASA's shift from national security to international cooperation on the space station, 1980-1994
Creators: name: Knowland, Elizabeth Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In 1980, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) made its first serious pitch to Congress in support of a permanently manned outpost in low earth orbit. Their initial case for the program’s necessity heavily relied on Cold War logics and military thinking, with international participation functioning as a mere afterthought. Although NASA and its foreign partners now flaunt the evidence of their successful cooperation, the internationalism inherent in the station’s current name and form was the result of station development, not the initial goal of NASA officials. Two major shifts defined NASA’s treatment of the space station over the course of its development. The first was a turn away from collaboration with the military. For previous projects, such as the space shuttle program, NASA had depended on military backing to justify the expense of human spaceflight to Congress. This military backing ensured that NASA’s interactions with international agencies remained shallow. The shift away from the military which occurred with the space station revealed the tension between NASA’s civilian nature and its military ties, and proved the turning point in NASA’s evolution into a truly civilian agency. Of all the international partners, Japan’s involvement was crucial to the changes which took place at NASA through the space station program as, in the moment of truth, Japan’s strident objections to the possibility of Pentagon contributions made military and international involvements incompatible. The second change was a transition towards more substantial international collaborations with foreign space agencies, which NASA increasingly saw as crucial to the success of the project and as a replacement for military backing before Congress. This paper argues that this increasing focus on the international aspects of the space station was driven by the cooling of the relationship between NASA and the military, which left NASA scrambling for funding and supporters for the space station. It was the domestic political situation, not a sense of internationalism, which compelled the internationalization of both the station and the agency.

description: We show that inversion symmetry breaking together with spin-orbit coupling leads to coupled spin and valley physics in monolayers of MoS2 and other group-VI dichalcogenides, making possible controls of spin and valley in these 2D materials. The spin-valley coupling at the valence band edges suppresses spin and valley relaxation, as flip of each index alone is forbidden by the valley contrasting spin splitting. Valley Hall and spin Hall effects coexist in both electron-doped and hole-doped systems. Optical interband transitions have frequency-dependent polarization selection rules which allow selective photoexcitation of carriers with various combination of valley and spin indices. Photo-induced spin Hall and valley Hall effects can generate long lived spin and valley accumulations on sample boundaries. The physics discussed here provides a route towards the integration of valleytronics and spintronics in multi-valley materials with strong spin-orbit coupling and inversion symmetry breaking.

One directional Polarized Neutron Reflectometry with optimized reference layer method

description: In the past decade, several neutron reflectometry methods for determining the modulus and phase of the complex reflection coefficient of an unknown multilayer thin film have been worked out among which the method of variation of surroundings and reference layers are of highest interest. These methods were later modified for measurement of the polarization of the reflected beam instead of the measurement of the intensities. In their new architecture, these methods not only suffered from the necessity of change of experimental setup, but also another difficulty was added to their experimental implementations. This deficiency was related to the limitations of the technology of the neutron reflectometers that could only measure the polarization of the reflected neutrons in the same direction as the polarization of the incident beam. As the instruments are limited, the theory has to be optimized so that the experiment could be performed. In a recent work, we developed the method of variation of surroundings for one directional polarization analysis. In this new work, the method of reference layer with polarization analysis has been optimized to determine the phase and modulus of the unknown film with measurement of the polarization of the reflected neutrons in the same direction as the polarization of the incident beam.

The projection field is small compared to the size of the art space in Zurich West, where the public event takes place. On view is Andrea Fraser's 2022 video performance This meeting is being recorded. The artist reenacts parts of Group Relations meetings she had held with other white- and female-identifying people about manifestations of internal racism in the U.S. I am following this well-tempered conversation. And while I analyze the group dynamics in the film from a certain distance, my chair suddenly begins to tremble. This piece is a field report on the collapsing boundaries between art work, audience and class room, on confused speakers-positions, shared silences and monophonic discussions.

Moduli restriction and Chiral Matter in Heterotic String Compactifications
Creators: name: Curio, Gottfried
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Supersymmetric heterotic string models, built from a stable holomorphic vector bundle $V$ on a Calabi-Yau threefold $X$, usually come with many vector bundle moduli whose stabilisation is a difficult and complex task. It is therefore of interest to look for bundle constructions which, from the outset, have as few as possible bundle moduli. One way to reach such a set-up is to start from a generic construction and to make discrete modifications of it which are available only over a subset of the bundle moduli space. Turning on such discrete 'twists' constrains the moduli to the corresponding subset of their moduli space: the twisted bundle has less parametric freedom. We give an example of a set-up where this idea can be considered concretely. Such non-generic twists lead also to new contributions of chiral matter (which greatly enhances the flexibility in model building); their computation constitutes the main issue of this note.

Accretion-Driven Evolution of Black Holes: Eddington Ratios, Duty Cycles, and Active Galaxy Fractions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We develop semi-empirical models of the supermassive black hole and active galactic nucleus (AGN) populations, which incorporate the black hole growth implied by the observed AGN luminosity function assuming a radiative efficiency ε, and a distribution of Eddington ratios λ. By generalizing these continuity-equation models to allow a distribution P(λ|mbh,z) we are able to draw on constraints from observationally estimated P(λ) distributions and active galaxy fractions while accounting for the luminosity thresholds of observational samples. We consider models with a Gaussian distribution of log λ, and Gaussians augmented with a power-law tail to low λ. Within our framework, reproducing the high observed AGN fractions at low redshift requires a characteristic Eddington ratio λ_c that declines at late times, and matching observed Eddington ratio distributions requires P(λ) that broadens at low redshift. To reproduce the observed increase of AGN fraction with black hole or galaxy mass, we also require a λ_c that decreases with increasing black hole mass, reducing the AGN luminosity associated with the most massive black holes. Finally, achieving a good match to the high mass end of the local black hole mass function requires an increased radiative efficiency at high black hole mass. We discuss the potential impact of black hole mergers or a λ-dependent bolometric correction, and we compute evolutionary predictions for black hole and galaxy specific accretion rates. Despite the flexibility of our framework, no one model provides a good fit to all the data we consider.

description: The possibility that BL Lac S5 0716+714 exhibits a linear root mean square (rms)-flux relation in its IntraDay Variability (IDV) is analysed. The results may be used as an argument in the existing debate regarding the source of optical IDV in Active Galactic Nuclei. 63 time series in different optical bands were used. A linear rms-flux relation at a confidence level higher than 65% was recovered for less than 8% of the cases. We were able to check if the magnitude is log-normally distributed for eight timeseries and found, with a confidence > 95%, that this is not the case.

description: When an ensemble of self-propelled camphor boats move in a one-dimensional channel, they exhibit a variety of collective behaviors. Under certain conditions, the boats tend to cluster together and move in a relatively tight formation. This type of behavior, referred to as clustering or swarming here, is one of three types recently observed in experiment. Similar clustering behavior is also reproduced in simulations based on a simple theoretical model. Here we examine this model to determine the clustering mechanism and the conditions under which clustering occurs. We also propose a method of quantifying the behavior that may be used in future experimental work.

Influence of virtual heights on dynamic postural control
Creators: name: Cleworth, Taylor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Fear of falling and fall risk are strongly related. As such, falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults. Therefore, there is a need to study how balance is influenced by fear and fear related factors. Previous research has shown that when healthy young adults are exposed to a postural threat, by standing at the edge of an elevated support surface, their postural control is altered in both static and dynamic situations. While responses to support surface rotations have been studied in a high postural threat scenario [Carpenter et al., 2004b], the effects of threat on dynamic responses to support surface translations, a more ecologically valid type of perturbation, have not yet been investigated. This is due to several safety and feasibility issues that preclude translating individuals at height. Virtual reality (VR) has been established as an effective means for simulating height-related postural threat and can therefore be used to avoid the limitations associated with translating subjects at physical height. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of fear and anxiety on postural reactions to surface translations during exposure to virtual heights. Twenty-one healthy young adults experienced support surface translations in the forward and backward directions, while immersed in a low and then high height virtual environment. Postural responses were significantly affected by height. Specifically, muscle activity in the lower leg and arm, and COP peak displacements, were earlier and larger in response to backward perturbations. No changes were observed in the responses to forward perturbations. In conclusion, virtual heights significantly altered neuromuscular responses to translational perturbations. Virtual height was capable of eliciting responses similar to real height, and thus may be used as an alternative method in investigating fear and anxiety related balance deficits in populations with a known fear of falling.

description: We study Dirichlet problems for harmonic maps from a Riemannian $m$-manifold $(M,g)$ into a Finsler $n$-manifold $(N, F)$. We assume that the dimension of the source manifold $M$ is less than or equal to 4, and that the finsler structure $F(u,X)$ is given as F(u,X)= \sqrt{h_{ij}(u)X^i X^j + {\cal B}(u,X)}, (u\in N, X \in T_uN) where $(h_{ij})$ is a Riemannian metric and ${\cal B}(u,X)$ is a function on $TN$ with positive homogeneity of degree 2 with respect to $X$. Under these assumptions, an existence and interior regularity result will be given.

title: A MANAGED INTEGRATION OF AUGMENTED AND VIRTUAL REALITIES INTO ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE - OPTIMISING COMMUNICATION OF INTENT AND PRACTICE EFFICIENCY THROUGH SELECTIVE APPLICATION
Creators: name: Butterworth, Ray
Publisher: name: University of Central Lancashire
Year: 2023

description: The information age, invariably defined as the “second industrial revolution”, has had pervasive commercial impact across the architectural, engineering and construction industries. In architecture, such developments have been defined by methods of communicating design intent between practitioner, stakeholder and client and, as a consequence, formats of digital display are becoming copious. Interpretation of three-dimensional form extrapolated from two-dimensional on-screen representation is achieved using accommodation and convergence stimulated from the multiple optical queues of perspective, illumination, shade and subject familiarity without conscious reasoning. Competing technologies aim not to rely on these collective stimuli by developing more convincing tableau. This study aims to examine initiatives which might produce the next generation of visualisation tools in order to highlight those technologies worthy of intensified research and development. The study also considers related changes in professional relationships and any associated inter-organisational structure while assessing the industrial impact arising from the availability of these technologies. Hypothesis resultant from forum discussion following a delineation of binocular and auto stereoscopic technologies, existent as commercially available or prototype, were examined. Featured apparatus was made available to a wider demographic for an extended period and data collected was subjected to identification of trends. To reinforce and polarise findings from direct liaison with professionals, live case studies were selected based on the challenging nature of subject matter and exposure of optical experience to corresponding audiences. Each study considers practitioner attitude toward the advantages offered by portable, distributed systems. Prognostication based on research conclusions advocates further study into incorporation of more ubiquitous haptic interaction associated with multi-view autostereoscopic initiatives. An improved comprehension of architectural form was measured by how well CGI initiatives were received at corporate and customer level with the aim to establish if any combination of these constitutes a professional aid or mandatory imposition while advocating a directed model of appropriate application.
Toe picks and hockey sticks : children and the gendering of figure skating and hockey
Creators: name: Westoby, Crysta Ann-Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Figure skating and hockey are two sports that currently are gendered as feminine and masculine, respectively. This study originated in my concern that gendered sports may be a discouragement to youth participation. This research project was undertaken in order to understand how figure skating and hockey are gendered in a community arena in rural British Columbia and how this might impact youth involvement. My methods included participant observation, interviews, and focus groups. The data from these ethnographic techniques are interpreted according to the concept that people both actively reinforce and resist the gendering of their sport. As a result of the study, I found that gendering hockey as masculine was often contested by female hockey players. Although females in recreational hockey seem to be largely accepted and welcome on mixed teams, the opposite was the case for females pursuing hockey competitively alongside their male peers. Gendering figure skating as feminine was largely uncontested, in part due to the lack of males participating in the sport. In addition, the interactions between hockey players and figure skaters frequently served to reinforce the gendering of these two sports. The key recommendation from this study is for both groups to be aware that the gendering of their sports seems to be a subconscious deterrent and they should take steps to counteract this trend.

description: We define a new model of communication complexity, called the garden-hose model. Informally, the garden-hose complexity of a function f:{0,1}^n x {0,1}^n to {0,1} is given by the minimal number of water pipes that need to be shared between two parties, Alice and Bob, in order for them to compute the function f as follows: Alice connects her ends of the pipes in a way that is determined solely by her input x \in {0,1}^n and, similarly, Bob connects his ends of the pipes in a way that is determined solely by his input y \in {0,1}^n. Alice turns on the water tap that she also connected to one of the pipes. Then, the water comes out on Alice's or Bob's side depending on the function value f(x,y). We prove almost-linear lower bounds on the garden-hose complexity for concrete functions like inner product, majority, and equality, and we show the existence of functions with exponential garden-hose complexity. Furthermore, we show a connection to classical complexity theory by proving that all functions computable in log-space have polynomial garden-hose complexity. We consider a randomized variant of the garden-hose complexity, where Alice and Bob hold pre-shared randomness, and a quantum variant, where Alice and Bob hold pre-shared quantum entanglement, and we show that the randomized garden-hose complexity is within a polynomial factor of the deterministic garden-hose complexity. Examples of (partial) functions are given where the quantum garden-hose complexity is logarithmic in n while the classical garden-hose complexity can be lower bounded by n^c for constant c>0. Finally, we show an interesting connection between the garden-hose model and the (in)security of a certain class of quantum position-verification schemes.

Resonant Post-Newtonian Eccentricity Excitation in Hierarchical Three-body Systems

description: We study the secular, hierarchical three-body problem to first-order in a post-Newtonian expansion of General Relativity. We expand the first-order post-Newtonian Hamiltonian to leading-order in the ratio of the semi-major axis of the two orbits. In addition to the well-known terms that correspond to the GR precession of the inner and outer orbits, we find a new secular post-Newtonian interaction term that can affect the long-term evolution of the triple. We explore the parameter space for highly inclined and eccentric systems, where the Kozai-Lidov mechanism can produce large-amplitude oscillations in the eccentricities. The standard lore, i.e., that General Relativity effects suppress eccentricity, is only consistent with the parts of phase space where the General Relativity timescales are several orders of magnitude shorter than the secular Newtonian one. In other parts of phase space, however, post-Newtonian corrections combined with the three body ones, can excite eccentricities. In particular, for systems where the General Relativity timescale is comparable to the secular Newtonian timescales, the three-body interactions give rise to a resonant-like eccentricity excitation. Furthermore, for triples with a comparable-mass inner binary, where the eccentric Kozai-Lidov mechanism is suppressed, post-Newtonian corrections can further increase the eccentricity and lead to orbital flips even when the timescale of the former is much longer than the timescale of the secular Kozai-Lidov quadrupole perturbations.
