description: Pentacenequinone (PnQ) impurities have been introduced into a pentacene source material at number densities from 0.001 to 0.474 to quantify the relative effects of impurity content and grain boundary structure on transport in pentacene thin-film transistors. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electrical measurements of top-contact pentacene thin-film transistors have been employed to directly correlate initial structure and final film structures, with the device mobility as a function of added impurity content. The results reveal a factor four decrease in mobility without significant changes in film morphology for source PnQ number fractions below ~0.008. For these low concentrations, the impurity thus directly influences transport, either as homogeneously distributed defects or by concentration at the otherwise-unchanged grain boundaries. For larger impurity concentrations, the continuing strong decrease in mobility is correlated with decreasing grain size, indicating an impurity-induced increase in the nucleation of grains during early stages of film growth.

description: Little is known about mentoring programs that focus on peer to peer mentoring as a leadership program or peer and school connectedness within Australia in the last ten years. In fact, according to Nora and Crisp (2016), ‘research in the last 15 years on assessing mentoring programs was mainly focused on the academic success of students’ (p. 339). Given the limited reviews addressing the leadership and school connectedness factors in Australia, the objective was to understand the scope of published literature, identify evidence gaps and suggest future research needs. This scoping review searched within five electronic databases, in which only studies reported in English during the period 2010-2020 and published on mentoring, leadership and connectedness were selected. Studies were coded using thematic analysis. Included studies (n=25) were multi-clustered into five themes: peer support and peer relationships (68%), school connectedness (52%), well-being (48%), transition (40%), and leadership (20%). Most studies (64%) were conducted in private or independent schools within Australia, and 65% were qualitative. Future research efforts should focus on the interrelationship of peer to peer mentoring, leadership or school and peer connectedness. Additional studies within all school sectors would help low socio-economic areas, including vulnerable children, Indigenous populations, and regional areas.

One-shot rates for entanglement manipulation under non-entangling maps

description: We obtain expressions for the optimal rates of one- shot entanglement manipulation under operations which generate a negligible amount of entanglement. As the optimal rates for entanglement distillation and dilution in this paradigm, we obtain the max- and min-relative entropies of entanglement, the two logarithmic robustnesses of entanglement, and smoothed versions thereof. This gives a new operational meaning to these entanglement measures. Moreover, by considering the limit of many identical copies of the shared entangled state, we partially recover the recently found reversibility of entanglement manipu- lation under the class of operations which asymptotically do not generate entanglement.

Interior structure models of GJ 436b

description: GJ 436b is the first extrasolar planet discovered that resembles Neptune in mass and radius. The particularly interesting property of Neptune-sized planets is that their mass Mp and radius Rp are close to theoretical M-R relations of water planets. Given Mp, Rp, and equilibrium temperature, however, various internal compositions are possible. A broad set of interior structure models is presented here that illustrates the dependence of internal composition and possible phases of water occurring in presumably water-rich planets, such as GJ 436b on the uncertainty in atmospheric temperature profile and mean density. We show how the set of solutions can be narrowed down if theoretical constraints from formation and model atmospheres are applied or potentially observational constraints for the atmospheric metallicity Z1 and the tidal Love number k2. We model the interior by assuming either three layers (hydrogen-helium envelope, water layer, rock core) or two layers (H/He/H2O envelope, rocky core). For water, we use the equation of state H2O-REOS based on FT-DFT-MD simulations. Some admixture of H/He appears mandatory for explaining the measured radius. For the warmest considered models, the H/He mass fraction can reduce to 10^-3, still extending over ~0.7 REarth. If water occurs, it will be essentially in the plasma phase or in the superionic phase, but not in an ice phase. Metal-free envelope models have 0.020.3, and further to 0.2 Mp, if k2>0.5, and core mass and Z1 become sensitive functions of k2. To further narrow the set of solutions, a proper treatment of the atmosphere and the evolution is necessary.

description: In Euclidean space, the integration by parts formula for a set of finite perimeter is expressed by the integration with respect to a type of surface measure. According to geometric measure theory, this surface measure is realized by the one-codimensional Hausdorff measure restricted on the reduced boundary and/or the measure-theoretic boundary, which may be strictly smaller than the topological boundary. In this paper, we discuss the counterpart of this measure in the abstract Wiener space, which is a typical infinite-dimensional space. We introduce the concept of the measure-theoretic boundary in the Wiener space and provide the integration by parts formula for sets of finite perimeter. The formula is presented in terms of the integration with respect to the one-codimensional Hausdorff-Gauss measure restricted on the measure-theoretic boundary.

description: Realisation of the first working linear encoder based on quantum tunneling between arrays of nanowires is presented. The sensing element consists of 12,000 nanowires, each 90 nm wide and 5 mm long, on an area of 5 x 4.3 mm. The sensing element was fabricated using phase shift mask lithography and dry etch processes followed by CMP; characterisation was carried with SEM and AFM. Finally transduction mechanism, showing linear encoder performance was demonstrated with electrical testing using independent nanopositioner. Strong signals in μA range are obtained on scans from several hundred nm to several mm range. nanoTrek® may address problems of dimensional metrology and alignment at the next technology nodes in micro-fabrication, nano-positioning and nano-imprinting.

description: We consider the random field Ising model and show rigorously that the spin glass susceptibility at equilibrium is always bounded by the ferromagnetic susceptibility, and therefore that no spin glass phase can be present at equilibrium out of the ferromagnet critical line. When the magnetization is, however, fixed to values smaller than the equilibrium one, a glassy phase can exist, as we show explicitly on the Bethe lattice.

On the progenitors of super-Chandrasekhar mass type Ia supernovae

description: Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) can be used as the standard candlelight to determine the cosmological distances because they are thought to have a uniform fuel amount. Recent observations of several overluminous SNe Ia suggest that the white dwarf masses at supernova explosion may significantly exceed the canonical Chandrasekhar mass limit. These massive white dwarfs may be supported by rapid differential rotation. Based on single degenerate model and the assumption that the white dwarf would differentially rotate when the accretion rate $\dot{M}>3\times10^{-7}M_{\odot}\rm yr^{-1}$, we have calculated the evolutions of close binaries consisting of a white dwarf and a normal companion. To include the effect of rotation, we introduce an effective mass $M_{\rm eff}$ for white dwarfs. For the donor stars with two different metallicities $Z=0.02$ and 0.001, we present the distribution of the initial donor star masses and the orbital periods of the progenitors of super-Chandrasekhar mass SNe Ia. The calculation results indicate that, for an initial massive white dwarf of $1.2M_{\odot}$, a considerable fraction of SNe Ia may result from super-Chandresekhar mass white dwarfs, but very massive ($>1.7 M_{\sun}$) white dwarfs are difficult to form, and none of them could be found in old populations. However, super-Chandrasekhar mass SNe Ia are very rare when the initial mass of white dwarfs is $1.0M_{\odot}$. Additionally, SNe Ia in low metallicity environment are more likely to be homogeneous.

Sales, advertising and distance
Creators: name: Lockhart, David Culton
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Most theories of promotion deal almost exclusively with behavioral parameters, and only superficially with the all-important action component. There have been few prior studies examining the sales effects of advertising. The major purpose of this thesis is to analyze the association between a number of advertising variables and the weekly sales volume of an automobile dealership. A corollary objective is to ascertain the role of average price and distance as related to sales. Relationships are tested by a multiple regression analysis on empirical data. Among the more important findings are: 1) Weekly Sales Dollars=-42.78 + .01 Dealer's Newspaper Lineage t-l + .47 Average Distance + 39.47 Average Price. N=51, R²=.40, F=10.97 2) Weekly Sales Dollars=-34.31 + .01 Dealer's Newspaper Lineage t-l + 39.51 Average Price. N=51, R²=.39, F=15.81 Both equations were significant at the .001 level. Regression estimates indicate that the dealer's newspaper advertising, average price of the automobile and distance travelled by consumers are related to weekly sales. The study is unable to conclude whether the retailer's broadcasting expenditures or the manufacturer's local advertising outlays are significant sales determinants.

description: We study the limit of quasilocal energy defined in [7] and [8] for a family of spacelike 2-surfaces approaching null infinity of an asymptotically flat spacetime. It is shown that Lorentzian symmetry is recovered and an energy-momentum 4-vector is obtained. In particular, the result is consistent with the Bondi-Sachs energy-momentum at a retarded time. The quasilocal mass in [7] and [8] is defined by minimizing quasilocal energy among admissible isometric embeddings and observers. The solvability of the Euler-Lagrange equation for this variational problem is also discussed in both the asymptotically flat and asymptotically null cases. Assuming analyticity, the equation can be solved and the solution is locally minimizing in all orders. In particular, this produces an optimal reference hypersurface in the Minkowski space for the spatial or null exterior region of an asymptotically flat spacetime.

Approximating the Set of Separable States Using the Positive Partial Transpose Test

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: The positive partial transpose test is one of the main criteria for detecting entanglement, and the set of states with positive partial transpose is considered as an approximation of the set of separable states. However, we do not know to what extent this criterion, as well as the approximation, are efficient. In this paper, we show that the positive partial transpose test gives no bound on the distance of a density matrix from separable states. More precisely, we prove that, as the dimension of the space tends to infinity, the maximum trace distance of a positive partial transpose state from separable states tends to 1. Using similar techniques, we show that the same result holds for other well-known separability criteria such as reduction criterion, majorization criterion and symmetric extension criterion. We also bring an evidence that the sets of positive partial transpose states and separable states have totally different shapes.

Depolarizing behavior of quantum channels in higher dimensions

description: The paper analyzes the behavior of quantum channels, particularly in large dimensions, by proving various properties of the quantum gate fidelity. Many of these properties are of independent interest in the theory of distance measures on quantum operations. A non-uniqueness result for the gate fidelity is proven, a consequence of which is the existence of non-depolarizing channels that produce a constant gate fidelity on pure states. Asymptotically, the gate fidelity associated with any quantum channel is shown to converge to that of a depolarizing channel. Methods for estimating the minimum of the gate fidelity are also presented.

description: Honokiol, a natural polyphenol, which was reported to have satisfactory influenza neuraminidase (NA) inhibitory activity, was structurally modified. Twenty-three compounds were synthesized and the ortho-effects in the epoxidation and hydrolyzation reactions were studied. The derivatives were evaluated for NA inhibitory activity and the benzoylhydrazone derivatives showed much better anti-NA activity than honokiol. Structure-activity relationship analysis suggested that the polyphenols exhibited better anti-NA activity than monophenols and biphenols. Furthermore, probable binding mode of drug with target revealed that the most active compound had much stronger interactions with the active site of NA than honokiol suggesting the potent anti-influenza virus activity.

description: The symmetric homology of a unital algebra $A$ over a commutative ground ring $k$ is defined using derived functors and the symmetric bar construction of Fiedorowicz. For a group ring $A = k[Γ]$, the symmetric homology is related to stable homotopy theory via $HS_*(k[Γ]) \cong H_*(ΩΩ^{\infty} S^{\infty}(BΓ); k)$. Two chain complexes that compute $HS_*(A)$ are constructed, both making use of a symmetric monoidal category $ΔS_+$ containing $ΔS$. Two spectral sequences are found that aid in computing symmetric homology. The second spectral sequence is defined in terms of a family of complexes, $Sym^{(p)}_*$. $Sym^{(p)}$ is isomorphic to the suspension of the cycle-free chessboard complex $Ω_{p+1}$ of Vrećica and Živaljević, and so recent results on the connectivity of $Ω_n$ imply finite-dimensionality of the symmetric homology groups of finite-dimensional algebras. Some results about the $kΣ_{p+1}$--module structure of $Sym^{(p)}$ are devloped. A partial resolution is found that allows computation of $HS_1(A)$ for finite-dimensional $A$ and some concrete computations are included.

Marketing information systems : an analytical framework
Creators: name: Chan, King Fook
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study is concerned with the management of marketing information flows. The problem of information management has been precipitated by such factors as improvements in information-handling technology and hardware, the 'information explosion' from sources within the economic, social and political sectors, the increasing complexity of business systems, the emergence of the 'marketing planning' concept, and the shortcomings of traditional marketing research. This problem was then viewed from a systems perspective. A conceptual framework for managing information flows was developed from a systems analysis of the marketing process. The use of a module framework led to the consideration of a formalized information system within the company's organizational structure. Theoretically, a marketing information system would collect, process, analyse and disseminate timely and pertinent information. This theoretical framework was supplemented by a case study of a company actively engaged in the application of information system services to marketing management. The conclusions, albeit limited to this one case study, attempted to highlight what are suggested as significant pointers for marketing information system development. Generally, the conclusions show that while the practice tended to support the theory in broad principles, the actual operating principles of an information system would reflect the peculiar needs, advantages and constraints of the company.

Subjects: atom chip, synthetic diffraction grating, atom beams

description: An apparatus for manipulating or modifying electromagnetic waves or electromagnetic waves or a beam of particles, eg atoms, ions, molecules or charged particles, the apparatus comprising a micro or nano electrical conductor crossbar network having multiple cross-over junctions that define respective scattering points for electromagnetic waves or the particles of the beam. At least one structural parameter of the crossbar network is selectively tuneable to obtain a desired manipulation or modification of said wave or beam when incident on the network in a pre-determined directional electrical conductor crossbar network (10) configured as an atomic beam diffraction grating. The direction of wave propagation of the atomic beam is indicated by the arrow (15). The atomic beam is sufficiently slowed for it to exhibit wave behaviour having a de Broglie wavelength of the order of magnitude of the lattice spacing of a lattice of scattering points (20) defined by crossbar network (10), and is thereby diffracted so as to form a diffraction pattern on downstream image plane (30). In this way, incident beam (15) is manipulated or modified by crossbar network (10) whereby the beam emerges from the network manipulated or modified with respect to incident beam (15).

Two-point velocity average of turbulence: statistics and their implications

description: For turbulence, although the two-point velocity difference u(x+r)-u(x) at each scale r has been studied in detail, the velocity average [u(x+r)+u(x)]/2 has not thus far. Theoretically or experimentally, we find interesting features of the velocity average. It satisfies an exact scale-by-scale energy budget equation. The flatness factor varies with the scale r in a universal manner. These features are not consistent with the existing assumption that the velocity average is independent of r and represents energy-containing large-scale motions alone. We accordingly propose that it represents motions over scales >= r as long as the velocity difference represents motions at the scale r.

Quantum tunnelling sensor device and method
Creators: name: Marek, Michalewicz
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2007
Subjects: STM, AFM, cantilever, quantum tunneling, superlattices, positional sensing

description: The sensor device comprises a substrate (11) having a flexure member (313), such as a cantilever, attached at one end. A counter surface (25) is formed on the substrate (11) opposite to the free end of the flexure member (313), and is curved such that a constant tunnelling gap (17) is maintained between the counter surface (25) and the free end of the flexure member (313) during displacement of the flexure member (313). The counter surface (25) and the free end of the flexure member (313) each comprises one or more conductor layers disposed in a plane perpendicular to a movement direction of the flexure member (313). A quantum tunnelling current between the conductor layers is detected across gap (17) to determine the displacement of the flexure member (313). The sensor device may form part of, for example, an accelerometer or an atomic force microscope.

description: We have analysed data from five XMM-Newton observations of XB 1254-69, one of them simultaneous with INTEGRAL, to investigate the mechanism responsible for the highly variable dips durations and depths seen from this low-mass X-ray binary. Deep dips were present during two observations, shallow dips during one and no dips were detected during the remaining two observations. At high (1-4 s) time resolution ``shallow dips'' are seen to include a few, very rapid, deep dips whilst the ``deep'' dips consist of many similar very rapid, deep, fluctuations. The folded V-band Optical Monitor light curves obtained when the source was undergoing deep, shallow and no detectable dipping exhibit sinusoid-like variations with different amplitudes and phases. We fit EPIC spectra obtained from "persistent" or dip-free intervals with a model consisting of disc-blackbody and thermal comptonisation components together with Gaussian emission features at 1 and 6.6 keV modified by absorption due to cold and photo-ionised material. None of the spectral parameters appears to be strongly correlated with the dip depth except for the temperature of the disc blackbody which is coolest (kT ~ 1.8 keV) when deep dips are present and warmest (kT ~ 2.1 keV) when no dips are detectable. We propose that the changes in both disc temperature and optical modulation could be explained by the presence of a tilted accretion disc in the system. We provide a revised estimate of the orbital period of 0.16388875 +/- 0.00000017 day.

Lepton Number Violating Signals of the Top Partners in the Left-Right Twin Higgs Model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We study the collider signatures of the left-right twin Higgs model in the case that the right-handed neutrino mass is less than the mass of the right-handed gauge boson. In this scenario, new leptonic decay chains open up, allowing the particles which cancel the one-loop quadratic divergences of the Higgs, the right-handed gauge bosons and top-partners, to be discovered. Half of these events contain same-sign leptons without missing energy, which have no genuine standard model background and for which the backgrounds are purely instrumental. These signals may be used to complement other collider searches, and in certain regions of parameter space, may be the only way to observe the particles responsible for natural electroweak symmetry breaking in the left-right twin Higgs model.

description: In this article we introduce a new class of non-commutative projective curves and show that in certain cases the derived category of coherent sheaves on them has a tilting complex. In particular, we prove that the right bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a reduced rational projective curve with only nodes and cusps as singularities, can be fully faithfully embedded into the right bounded derived category of the finite dimensional representations of a certain finite dimensional algebra of global dimension two. As an application of our approach we show the dimension of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a rational projective curve with only nodal or cuspidal singularities is at most two. In the case of the Kodaira cycles of projective lines, the corresponding tilted algebras belong to a well-known class of gentle algebras. We work out in details the tilting equivalence in the case of the plane nodal cubic.

description: Despite reports of parental exposure to stress promoting physiological adaptations in progeny in diverse organisms, there remains considerable debate over the significance and evolutionary conservation of such multigenerational effects. Here, we investigate four independent models of intergenerational adaptations to stress in Caenorhabditis elegans – bacterial infection, eukaryotic infection, osmotic stress, and nutrient stress – across multiple species. We found that all four intergenerational physiological adaptations are conserved in at least one other species, that they are stress -specific, and that they have deleterious tradeoffs in mismatched environments. By profiling the effects of parental bacterial infection and osmotic stress exposure on progeny gene expression across species, we established a core set of 587 genes that exhibited a greater than twofold intergenerational change in expression in response to stress in C. elegans and at least one other species, as well as a set of 37 highly conserved genes that exhibited a greater than twofold intergenerational change in expression in all four species tested. Furthermore, we provide evidence suggesting that presumed adaptive and deleterious intergenerational effects are molecularly related at the gene expression level. Lastly, we found that none of the effects we detected of these stresses on C. elegans F1 progeny gene expression persisted transgenerationally three generations after stress exposure. We conclude that intergenerational responses to stress play a substantial and evolutionarily conserved role in regulating animal physiology and that the vast majority of the effects of parental stress on progeny gene expression are reversible and not maintained transgenerationally.
