description: Supermassive black holes permeate the observable Universe, residing in the nuclei of all or nearly all nearby massive galaxies and powering luminous quasars as far as ten billion light years away. These monstrous objects must grow through a combination of gas accretion and mergers of less massive black holes. The direct detection of the mergers by future gravitational-wave detectors will be a momentous scientific achievement, providing tests of general relativity and revealing the cosmic evolution of supermassive black holes. An additional -- and arguably equally rewarding -- challenge is the concomitant observation of merging supermassive black holes with both gravitational and electromagnetic waves. Such synergistic, "multi-messenger" studies can probe the expansion history of the Universe and shed light on the details of accretion astrophysics. This thesis examines the mergers of supermassive black hole binaries and the observable signatures of these events. First, we consider the formation scenarios for the earliest supermassive black holes. This investigation is motivated by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey observation of a quasar that appears to be powered by a supermassive black hole with a mass of billions of solar masses, already in place one billion years after the Big Bang. Second, we develop semianalytic, time-dependent models for the thermal emission from circumbinary gas disks around merging black holes. Our calculations corroborate the qualitative conclusion of a previous study that for black hole mergers detectable by a space-based gravitational-wave observatory, a gas disk near the merger remnant may exhibit a dramatic brightening of soft X-rays on timescales of several years. Our results suggest that this "afterglow" may become detectable more quickly after the merger than previously estimated. Third, we investigate whether these afterglow episodes could be observed serendipitously by forthcoming wide-field, high-cadence electromagnetic surveys. Fourth, we introduce a new subset of time-dependent solutions for the standard equation describing thin, viscous Keplerian disks. Finally, we apply these solutions to model the electromagnetic emission of accretion disks around supermassive black hole binaries that may be detectable with precision pulsar timing.
Pour sortir les allumettières de l’ombre : conditions de travail et de vie des allumettières à la E.B. Eddy Match de Hull, 1854 à 1928

description: Cette thèse s’intéresse à l’histoire des allumettières de la E.B. Eddy Match de Hull des années 1850 jusqu’au déménagement de l’entreprise, en 1928. Pendant plus de sept décennies, des centaines de femmes s’affairent à la confection d’allumettes, ce bien nécessaire à tous quotidiennement. L’expérience des ouvrières employées par le plus grand producteur de cette industrie au Canada se définit par leurs conditions de vie et de travail difficiles. Bien que des améliorations s’observent au fil des ans, particulièrement à l’intérieur de la fabrique, la pauvreté de la classe ouvrière et les dangers de l’emploi restent une réalité bien présente. Pour mener à bien cette recherche, nous proposons dans un premier temps un examen de celles qui composent cette main-d’œuvre. En nous appuyant principalement sur les données du recensement canadien, nous examinons le portrait démographique et la situation socio-économique des allumettières, en plus de leur apport à la survie familiale. De ce fait, nous soulevons pourquoi le poids économique des jeunes filles et des femmes s’avère non négligeable pour de nombreux ménages dans un contexte de précarité qui touche l’ensemble de la classe populaire. Dans un deuxième temps, les conditions de travail sont observées. En utilisant l’exemple de l’emploi du phosphore blanc dans la confection d’allumettes, nous abordons les risques du métier présents au cours du 19e siècle jusqu’au début des années 1910. Alors que la substance est retirée du processus de production, d’autres dangers subsistent. Les conditions de travail dans les années 1920 subissent certaines avancées, mais restent généralement précaires. Les heures de travail sont réduites, mais les salaires n’augmentent pas nécessairement. La syndicalisation des travailleuses amène quelques progrès et laisse voir la volonté d’implication des allumettières dans le mouvement ouvrier catholique. Toutefois, l’expérience se termine par un échec et cause fort probablement le départ de la compagnie en 1928.

Coherent regimes of globally coupled dynamical systems

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The paper presents a method by which the mean field dynamics of a population of dynamical systems with parameter diversity and global coupling can be described in terms of a few macroscopic degrees of freedom. The method applies to populations of any size and functional form in the region of coherence. It requires linear variation or a narrow distribution for the dispersed parameter. Although being an approximation, the method allows us to quantitatively study the collective regimes that arise as a result of diversity and coupling and to interpret the transitions among these regimes as bifurcations of the effective macroscopic degrees of freedom. To illustrate, the phenomenon of oscillator death and the route to full locking are examined for chaotic oscillators with time scale mismatch.

Mess to the Press: Navigating Alex Haley's Journalistic Roots

description: Mess to the Press is a narrative of the life of Alexander Murray Palmer Haley (Alex Haley), the author and twenty-year United States Coast Guard veteran who wrote his way into annals of the nation’s literary, journalistic, and military histories. While the Pulitzer Prize-winning Haley is best known for authoring The Autobiography of Malcolm X (1965) and the genealogical epic Roots (1976), this study archives and considers over two decades of writerly practices that precede publication of these seminal texts. More specifically, the narrative history presented here—charted from a complex network of archival materials and oral histories that span oceans and continents—critically examines Haley’s origins as a master storyteller, a griot of sorts, whose literary and journalistic contributions subverted the forms, functions, and outlets of traditional narrative accounts for his mid-twentieth-century audiences. Drawing on stories told within and across government documents, special collections, oral histories, periodicals, physical artifacts, and retired Coast Guard members’ personal letters and photographs, the researcher employed historiographical methods to examine the following questions: (1) How does Haley become a writer? (2) How does Haley come to recognize, develop, hone, and share his writing as an active duty Coast Guard member (1939-1959) at a time when African American service members endured the realities of a segregated service while fighting for Democracy and Civil Rights on both home and warfronts? and (3) To what extent do literacy practices, skills, and experiences from Haley’s Coast Guard service emerge in his early post-Coast Guard retirement research, writing, and journalism? As this study traces Haley’s journey from scrubbing pots in a shipboard galley to composing galley proofs for some of the country’s best-selling periodicals, the reader is asked to consider how this revisionist account is less of a traditional critical literary biography and more of an autobiographical assemblage. Textual and material analysis of periodicals, special collections holdings, and oral histories navigated by its female, active-duty Coast Guard author works to navigate and expose the roots of Haley’s early writing life and journalistic journey.

description: We show for the first time that highly localized in-plane breathers can propagate in specific directions with minimal lateral spreading in a model 2-D hexagonal non-linear lattice. The lattice is subject to an on-site potential in addition to longitudinal nonlinear inter-particle interactions. This study investigates the prediction that stable breather-like solitons could be formed as a result of energetic scattering events in a given layered crystal and would propagate in atomic-chain directions in certain atomic planes. This prediction arose from a long-term study of previously unexplained dark lines in natural crystals of muscovite mica.

description: This study examines the portrayal of male and female athletes in sports media following the implementation of Title IX legislation in North Carolina. By analyzing media coverage after 1972, the year Title IX was enacted, the research investigates whether the increased participation of women in athletics has resulted in more equitable representation in sports media. The analysis explores potential changes in the volume and focus of media coverage dedicated to female athletes, aiming to assess the lasting impact of Title IX and the way women’s sports are presented to the public through the past few decades. 
The research was conducted using over 1,200 articles from 240 newspapers from the Digital N.C. repository that holds over 14,000 issues of the Daily Tar Heel, the student newspaper of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

description: There have been several upper bounds on the quantum capacity of the single-mode Gaussian channels with thermal noise, such as thermal attenuator and amplifier. We consider a class of attenuator and amplifier with more general noises, including squeezing or even non-Gaussian one. We derive new upper bounds on the energy-constrained quantum capacity of those channels by using the quantum conditional entropy power inequality. Also, we obtain lower bounds for the same channels by means of Gaussian optimizer with fixed input entropy. They give narrow bounds when the transmissivity is near unity and the energy of input state is low.

description: Large single crystals of (4-(Aminomethyl)pyridinium)2MnCl4·2H2O (1) were grown by slow evaporation of solution. The crystal structure was solved to be Pī, which belongs to the central symmetric space group. But small pyroelectric current was detected, as well as a ferroelectric hysteresis loop. The pyroelectric and the ferroelectric properties were attributed to the strain caused by defects. Temperature-dependent magnetic curves and the M–H curve shows that 1 is antiferromagnetic ordering below 2.5 K. A field-induced spin-flop is observed in the antiferromagnetic ordering state.
The new environmental assessment act : a new way of doing business

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Bill 38 - the new Environmental Assessment Act - has received Royal Assent, and is expected to come into effect in late 2002, once the associated regulations and operating procedures are finalized. The current Act sets out a single obligatory review procedure for major projects. The primary purpose of Bill 38 is to provide much greater flexibility to customize review procedures on a project-by-project basis. The increased flexibility is intended to contribute to the government's strategic priorities for an improved investment climate while preserving high environmental standards. Other objectives of legislative reform include clearer process management accountabilities, increased procedural choice, more certainty and credibility for proponents, reduced agency workloads and government program delivery costs, and improved federal/provincial review harmonization. Most reviews will follow a basic two-stage approach: pre-application stage - focussed on initial consultations to scope the issues and set terms of reference for the EA application; and application review stage - review of the proponent's EA application (the assessment findings), leading to a Ministerial decision on EA certification.

description: Neutrino oscillations in the presence of strong gravitational fields are studied. We look at very high energy neutrinos ($\sim $1 TeV) emanating from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). It is observed that spin flavor resonant transitions of such neutrinos may occur in the vicinity of AGN due to {\it gravitational} effects and due to the presence of a large magnetic field ($\sim $1 Tesla). A point to note is that matter effects (normal MSW transitions) become negligible in comparison o gravitational effects in our scenario.

description: Let m(a,b) and M(a,b,c) be symmetric means. We say that M is type 1 invariant with respect to m if M(m(a,c),m(a,b),m(b,c)) = M(a,b,c) for all a, b, c > 0. If m is strict and isotone, then we show that there exists a unique M which is type 1 invariant with respect to m. In particular we discuss the invariant logarithmic mean L_3, which is type 1 invariant with respect to L(a,b) = (b-a)/(log b-log a). We say that M is type 2 invariant with respect to m if M(a,b,m(a,b)) = m(a,b) for all a, b > 0. We also prove existence and uniqueness results for type 2 invariance, given the mean M(a,b,c). The arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means in two and three variables satisfy both type 1 and type 2 invariance. There are means m and M such that M is type 2 invariant with respect to m, but not type 1 invariant with respect to m(for example, the Lehmer means). L_3 is type 1 invariant with respect to L, but not type 2 invariant with respect to L.

description: It is advocated that geometry of the interaction region of two heavy nuclei colliding at large impact parameters is important for the relative role of light-by-light scattering and QCD-initiated processes. Exclusive production of resonances is possible by dense electromagnetic fields in the interior space between the nuclei. The cross section of these processes is evaluated and some examples are considered. It is speculated that the exclusive production of $ρ^0$-mesons by two-photon processes forbidden by the Landau-Yang rule may become allowed within strong magnetic fields.

description: We discuss a cosmological scenario in which inflation is driven by a potential which is motivated by an effective Lagrangian approach to gravity. We exploit the recent arguments \cite{ARZ} that an effective Lagrangian $L_{eff}$ which, by definition, contains operators of arbitrary dimensionality is in general not a convergent but rather an asymptotic series with factorially growing coefficients. This behavior of the effective Lagrangian might be responsible for the resolution of the cosmological constant problem. We argue that the same behavior of the potential gives a natural realization of the inflationary scenario.

description: This study aims to explore and examine the depiction of cultures and characters in illustrations within children's folklore picture books about the Middle East. Key aspects such as character depiction, cultural symbols, and the use of artistic media techniques are analyzed. This research analyzed these representations over time, revealing recognizable changes in the depiction of Middle Eastern cultures.  A selection of picture books published in two distinct periods 1980-1999 and 2000-2020 were examined. The study also evaluates the impact of illustrators’ cultural backgrounds (Middle Eastern or other cultures) on the authenticity and depth of cultural representation. 
The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The finding of this study shows that some books written from 1980-1999 contain misrepresentations regarding Middle Eastern culture. Middle Eastern illustrators represent Middle Eastern culture with a greater level of accuracy in comparison with non-Middle Eastern illustrators. Stereotypes are seen in the illustrations regarding characters and architectural design. The results of this research will contribute to a better understanding of the cultural representation of the Middle East in children's folklore picture books.

description: We present general results for one-dimensional systems of point charges (signed point measures) on the line with a translation invariant distribution $μ$ for which the variance of the total charge in an interval is uniformly bounded (instead of increasing with the interval length). When the charges are restricted to multiples of a common unit, and their average charge density does not vanish, then the boundedness of the variance implies translation-symmetry breaking --- in the sense that there exists a function of the charge configuration that is nontrivially periodic under translations --- and hence that $μ$ is not ``mixing.'' Analogous results are formulated also for one dimensional lattice systems under some constraints on the values of the charges at the lattice sites and their averages. The general results apply to one-dimensional Coulomb systems, and to certain spin chains, putting on common grounds different instances of symmetry breaking encountered there.

description: In 1635 Joan Acton was a domestic servant at Heathfield vicarage. She had already attracted the unwelcome attention of John Butcher, who was employed at the time by her stepfather at his tannery in Hamsey, and he planned to abduct her with the help of some accomplices. Towards the end of June she was taken from the vicarage by a trick. By stages she was taken to Newdigate church in Surrey, where the couple went through a form of marriage. The affair ended at Cuckfield, where the party was resting on the return journey. This article is based on the full account of the affair given in the records of the archdeacon's court at Lewes.

The equations extend earlier kinematic approaches by coupling the front curvature with the order parameter associated with a parity breaking front bifurcation. In addition to naturally describing the core region of rotating spiral waves the equations can be be used to study the nucleation of spiral-wave pairs along uniformly propagating fronts. The analysis of spiral-wave nucleation reduces to the simpler problem of droplet, or domain, nucleation in one space dimension.

description: The greater part of modern Burgess Hill has developed out of the Wealden commons and demesne woodlands belonging to three ancient settlements at the foot of the South Downs, namely Clayton, Keymer and Ditchling. The evolution of its minor names presents an interesting study, for some were affected by changes in the topography long before the birth of the Victorian town, while others have been directly affected by the town's growth. The role that the area has played in the history of Sussex has been obscured owing to the difficulty of relating old names to present-day places. This article aims to place former names in their modern context and vice versa.

description: Metabolic activity is an important functional parameter of a living cell. Microscopic techniques are demanded to resolve the heterogeneity of metabolic activity from cell to cell and among subcellular compartments. Towards this, work in the Min lab has been dedicated to developing a prevailing metabolic imaging platform that couples chemical imaging by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy with small vibrational tags on precursor molecules. This thesis describes efforts along metabolic imaging by SRS microscopy, with focus on visualizing protein and lipid homeostasis. Chapter 1 describes the design principle of metabolic imaging, including selection of vibrational tags and setup of SRS microscopy, and an overview of successful demonstrations of metabolic imaging in protein and lipid metabolism. Chapter 2 describes adoption of such principle to visualize protein turnover with 13C-phenylalanine metabolic labeling under steady-state condition and various perturbations. The rest of this thesis (Chapters 3-6) switches focus to fatty acid metabolism and cellular lipid homeostasis. As the minimal tagging in vibrational imaging preserves the physicochemical property of lipid molecules to the largest extent, it motivated me to revisit fatty acid metabolism from a biophysical perspective. Bearing the question in mind whether the non-equilibrium metabolic activity could drive phase separation in biological membranes, I thus look into the principle of membrane organization and its implication in biological membranes in Chapter 3. Then in Chapter 4, I describe the discovery and characterization of previously unknown phase separation in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane caused by lipid synthesis. In this case, metabolic imaging by SRS enables
      identification of solid-like domains formed by saturated fatty acid (SFA) metabolites. This observation further raises the question whether phase separation bears any functional roles in the adverse effects of SFAs (or lipotoxicity). Towards this, Chapter 5 introduces the background of lipotoxicity including its definition and models. Then I review proposed mechanisms for lipotoxicity, which point to the central role of ER in mediating the stress transduction. In Chapter 6, I present our findings that suggest the association of the observed solid-like domains with ER structural remodeling and local autophagic arrest. Together, these efforts demonstrate the valuable capability of SRS imaging to reveal metabolic heterogeneity and how this aids in the investigation of metabolic stress.
A Content Analysis of Sexual Consent and Sexual Health/Wellness References in Adult Literary Fiction

description: The study in this paper analyzes the content of adult fiction novels that fall into the sub-genre of romantasy. I examined the top 10 adult romantasy books according to Goodreads. During this study I looked at how sexual consent and sexual health and wellness are portrayed in these novels. I coded each novel for scenes containing sexual content having to do with consent and sexual health and wellness. Most of the books in my population displayed proper messages of sexual consent. Communication and asking permission for sexual consent are becoming more normalized in popular media. Along with the normalization of consent, birth control is also on the rise in its visibility within popular media. Many books mentioned sexual health and wellness in regards to birth control, whether it be direct between character or in passing. However, zero books in my population mentioned sexually transmitted diseases or sexually transmitted infections, which are a vital part of sexual health and wellness. As a society we need to work towards the de-stigmatization of sexually transmitted diseases and sexually transmitted infections.

description: We propose a way to find the asymptotic distribution of zeros of orthogonal polynomials p_n(x) satisfying a difference equation of the form B(x)p_n(x+δ)-C(x,n)p_n(x)+D(x)p_n(x-δ)=0. We calculate the asymptotic distribution of zeros and asymptotics of extreme zeros of the Meixner and Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials. The distribution of zeros of Meixner polynomials shows some delicate features. We indicate the relation of our approach to the WKB technique and to the approach based on the Nevai-Ullman distribution.

description: An n-dimensional polytope P^n is called simple if exactly n codimension-one faces meet at each vertex. The lattice of faces of a simple polytope P^n with m codimension-one faces defines an arrangement of even-dimensional planes in R^{2m}. We construct a free action of the group R^{m-n} on the complement of this arrangement. The corresponding quotient is a smooth manifold Z_P invested with a canonical action of the compact torus T^m with the orbit space P^n. For each smooth projective toric variety M^{2n} defined by a simple polytope P^n with the given lattice of faces there exists a subgroup T^{m-n}\subset T^m acting freely on Z_P such that Z_P/T^{m-n}=M^{2n}. We calculate the cohomology ring of Z_P and show that it is isomorphic to the cohomology ring of the face ring of P^n regarded as a module over the polynomial ring. In this way the cohomology of Z_P acquires a bigraded algebra structure, and the additional grading allows to catch the combinatorial invariants of the polytope. At the same time this gives an example of explicit calculation of the cohomology of the complement of an arrangement of planes, which is of independent interest.

Correlation of the rate of Type Ia supernovae with the parent galaxy properties: Light and shadows

description: The identification of the progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae (SNIa) is extremely important in several astrophysical contexts, ranging from stellar evolution in close binary systems to evaluating cosmological parameters. Determining the distribution of the delay times (DTD) of SNIa progenitors can shed light on their nature. In this paper we investigate on the diagnostic capabilities on the DTD of the correlation between the SNIa rate and the parent galaxy properties by examining its systematics with the various parameters at play: simple stellar population models, the adopted description for the star formation history in galaxies, and the way in which the masses of the galaxies are evaluated. We compute models for the correlations of the SNIa rate with the parent galaxy color and specific star formation rate for a variety of input ingredients, and for a few astrophysically motivated DTD laws. The models are compared to the results of three independent observational surveys. We find that the scaling of the SNIa rate with the properties of the parent galaxy is sensitive to all input ingredients mentioned above. This is a severe limitation on the possibility to discriminate alternative DTDs. In addition, current surveys show some discrepancies for the rate measured in the reddest and bluest galaxies, likely due to limited statistics and inhomogeneity of the observations. For galaxies with intermediate colors the rates are in agreement, leading to a robust determination of the productivity of SNIa from stellar populations of $\simeq$ 0.8 events per 1000 \msun. Large stastistics of SNIa events along with accurate measurements of the star formation history in the galaxies are required to derive firm constraints on the DTD. LSST will achieve these results by providing the homogeneous, unbiased and vast database on both SNIa and galaxies.

description: Within a 400 pc sphere around the Sun, we search for Praesepe's tidal tails in the Gaia DR2 dataset. We used a modified convergent-point method to search for stars with space velocities close to the space velocity of the Praesepe cluster. We find a clear indication for the existence of Praesepe's tidal tails, both extending up to 165~pc from the centre of the cluster. A total of 1393 stars populate the cluster and its tails, giving a total mass of 794 M_Sun. We determined a tidal radius of 10.77 pc for the cluster and a tidal mass of 483 M_Sun. The corresponding half-mass radius is 4.8 pc. We also found clear indication for mass segregation in the cluster. The tidal tails outside 2 tidal radii are populated by 389 stars. The total contamination of our sample by field stars lies between 50 to 100 stars or 3.6 to 7.2 per cent. We used an astrometrically and photometrically clean sub-sample of Gaia DR2 which makes our Praesepe sample incomplete beyond M_G ~ 12.0 mag, which corresponds to about 0.25 M_Sun. A comparison with an N-body model of the cluster and its tails shows remarkably good coincidence. Three new white dwarfs are found in the tails.

description: A varved sediment sequence spanning the past ~11.0 ka was collected from Lac Noir (45.77N, 75.13W, 168 m a.s.l.) in southwestern Québec. A high-resolution pollen record documents the post-glacial vegetation history of the region over the course of the Holocene. The record shows an initial open spruce woodland, the establishment of the boreal and mixed conifer-hardwood forest into the area, as well as the expansion and contractions of tree populations in response to climate variability during the Holocene. The well known Tsuga decline at Lac Noir lasted 500 years starting at 5.5 ka and it took 1 460 years for hemlock to recover. The highest frequency of fire activity occurred during the early Holocene, and the lowest in the mid-Holocene. The late Holocene saw an increase in fire frequency, which could be attributed to a drier climate in eastern North America during this period. The impact of climate variability, fire disturbances and possible biotic factors on the Lac Noir vegetation are examined.

description: Mental health problems are global, and a common burden for adolescents. One avenue for improving access and support for adolescents is through school-based health services (SBHS). These provide comprehensive and appropriate care, which aims to be accessible and low-cost. While SBHS have been shown to improve access to mental health services, evidence of their effectiveness in terms of students’ mental health has been limited. In New Zealand, SBHS can vary from occasional visits by a health professional to comprehensive well-resourced clinics with a permanent team of health professionals on-site.

description: In recent years, the focus of policing in international migration has increasingly shifted from exclusion and border control to migration management. This shift is apparent at globally and regionally, with migration management becoming an overarching term that emphasises the “quality” of individual migrants, a reduction in irregular migration, governance of recruitment processes, bi-lateral or multi-lateral agreements; and emphasis on the benefits for both states and migrants.
