A reevaluation of local government associations : a case study of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities
Creators: name: Goldsmith-Jones, Pamela J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This paper concerns itself with the nature of local government associations in Canada. The small body of literature concerning local government associations which precedes this study confines itself to an evaluation of local government associations based on their performance in the intergovernmental arena. In other words, ability to lobby the provincial government is the yardstick by which local government associations have been measured in the past. As this body of literature maintains that local government associations are a type of interest group, it is appropriate to attempt to situate the behaviour of these associations within some kind of interest group framework. A review of interest group literature suggests that it is inappropriate to analyse and evaluate local government associations based on the single activity of lobbying the provincial government. Local government associations spend much of their time providing other services to their membership. As well, the provision of these services impacts their ability to lobby effectively. The interest group literature suggests that members join interest groups for a variety of reasons, only some of which are related to the pursuit of a collective good. The criticisms of Lionel Feldman and Katherine Graham in Bargaining for Cities: Municipalities and Intergovernmental Relations, An Assessment and in Peter G. Johnson's research on the Union of Nova Scotia Municipalities are based on too narrow an interpretation of the activity of local government associations. This paper discusses their criticisms that local government associations are neither legitimate nor representative, that they act solely as agents of provincial governments, and that they allow themselves to be circumscribed by more senior levels of government. A case study of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) provides an overview of the organizational structure of this local government association, which suggests that the UBCM is an interest group whose main activities include lobbying the provincial government and providing other services to its membership. The presentation of survey data addresses itself primarily to Feldman/Graham's and Johnson's criticisms of local government associations, and concludes that when a broader range of local government association activity is taken into account, these criticisms are largely ill-founded.

description: A foil-microchannel plate (MCP) detector, which uses electrostatic lenses and possesses both good position and timing resolutions, has been designed and simulated for beam diagnostics and mass measurements at the next-generation heavy-ion-beam facility HIAF in China. Characterized by low energy loss and good performances of timing and position measurements, it would be located at focal planes in fragment separator HFRS for position monitoring, beam turning, B$ρ$ measurement, and trajectory reconstruction. Moreover, it will benefit the building-up of a magnetic-rigidity-energy-loss-time-of-flight (B$ρ$-$Δ$E-TOF) method at HFRS for high-precision in-flight particle identification (PID) of radioactive isotope (RI) beams on an event-by-event basis. Most importantly, the detector can be utilized for in-ring TOF and position measurements, beam-line TOF measurements at two achromatic foci, and position measurements at a dispersive focus of HFRS, thus making it possible to use two complementary mass measurement methods (isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS) at the storage ring SRing and magnetic-rigidity-time-of-flight (B$ρ$-TOF) at the beam-line HFRS) in one single experimental run.

description: In this work, we investigate the Higgs-Starobinsky (HS) model in the context of warm inflation scenario. The dissipative parameter as a linear form of temperature of warm inflation is considered with strong and weak regimes. We study the HS model in the Einstein frame with the slow-roll inflation framework. We compute the inflationary observables and then compare with the Plank 2018 data. With the sizeable number of e-folds and proper choices of parameters, we discover that the predictions of warm HS model present in this work are in very good agreement with the latest Planck 2018 results. More importantly, the parameters of the HS model are also constrained by using the data in order to make warm HS inflation successful.

description: We discuss experimental effects in the implementation of a recent scheme for performing bus mediated entangling operations between qubits. Here a bus mode, a strong coherent state, successively undergoes weak Kerr-type non-linear interactions with qubits. A quadrature measurement on the bus then projects the qubits into an entangled state. This approach has the benefit that entangling gates are non-destructive, may be performed non-locally, and there is no need for efficient single photon detection. In this paper we examine practical issues affecting its experimental implementation. In particular, we analyze the effects of post-selection errors, qubit loss, bus loss, mismatched coupling rates and mode-mismatch. We derive error models for these effects and relate them to realistic fault-tolerant thresholds, providing insight into realistic experimental requirements.

description: Massive MIMO uses a large number of antennas to increase the spectral efficiency (SE) through spatial multiplexing of users, which requires accurate channel state information. It is often assumed that regular pilots (RP), where a fraction of the time-frequency resources is reserved for pilots, suffices to provide high SE. However, the SE is limited by the pilot overhead and pilot contamination. An alternative is superimposed pilots (SP) where all resources are used for pilots and data. This removes the pilot overhead and reduces pilot contamination by using longer pilots. However, SP suffers from data interference that reduces the SE gains. This paper proposes the Massive-MIMO Iterative Channel Estimation and Decoding (MICED) algorithm where partially decoded data is used as side-information to improve the channel estimation and increase SE. We show that users with precise data estimates can help users with poor data estimates to decode. Numerical results with QPSK modulation and LDPC codes show that the MICED algorithm increases the SE and reduces the block-error-rate with RP and SP compared to conventional methods. The MICED algorithm with SP delivers the highest SE and it is especially effective in scenarios with short coherence blocks like high mobility or high frequencies.

Detection of nepoviruses by ELISA in tissue-cultured and field-grown grapevines
Creators: name: Johnson, Raymond Camille Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The detection by serology of nematode-transmitted polyhedral viruses (nepoviruses) in grapevines is often unreliable. Nepoviruses were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in tissue-cultured and field-grown grapevines. Nepovirus detection in in vitro plants (plantlets) was affected by virus distribution and growth room temperature. The reliability of virus detection in field-grown grapevines was improved when modified grinding buffers were used. Arabis mosaic virus (AMV) was detected by ELISA, for the first time, in in vitro grapevines initiated from field-and screenhouse-grown plants throughout the summer. The virus was not reliably and repeatedly detected in in vitro plantlets grown at 25°C. AMV and grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) distribution was not uniform throughout the plantlets. This distribution was affected by the culture room temperature. The best plant parts to sample for virus detection came from the zones of rapidly proliferating shoots. The viruses were sometimes not detected in samples taken from other tissues. Growth room temperature had an important effect on virus detection in plantlets. The highest virus titres were found in plants growing at 15°C. Temperature increases in 5°C steps to 30°C reduced virus titre. AMV became undetectable in nearly all plantlets growing at 30°C for as little as 30 days. Growth at 30°C reduced ELISA absorbance values by 76% after 8 days and after 21 days the values were at 4% of pre-treatment levels. The virus titre dropped below detectable levels in most plantlets. AMV could not be detected in plantlets or rooted explants after being placed in a 30°C treatment for 2 months. Tomato ringspot virus was detected by ELISA, for the first time, in in vitro grapevine plants. The virus was repeatedly detected in in vitro plants growing at 20°C. Under the typical summer conditions experienced at Sidney, B.C., modifying the standard ELISA grinding buffer (0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, 0.05% Tween-20, 0.2% ovalbumin, 2% polyvinylpyrrolidone) was essential for reliable detection of AMV or GFLV. AMV was reliably detected by ELISA in foliar samples from field or screenhouse plants throughout the summer when the grinding buffer was modified by increasing the pH to at least 8.2 and adding 1% nicotine or 0.15 M phosphate buffered saline. The most reliable results with GFLV were obtained with the nicotine enhanced buffers. In comparison, because of the increased workload associated with growing plants in vitro and the unreliable detection of viruses in these plants, it remained preferable to detect nepoviruses in field plants by ELISA.

description: Dissipative processes in non-equilibrium many-body systems are fundamentally different than their equilibrium counterparts. Such processes are of great importance for the understanding of relaxation in single molecule devices. As a detailed case study, we investigate here a generic spin-fermion model, where a two-level system couples to two metallic leads with different chemical potentials. We present results for the spin relaxation rate in the nonadiabatic limit for an arbitrary coupling to the leads, using both analytical and exact numerical methods. The non-equilibrium dynamics is reflected by an exponential relaxation at long times and via complex phase shifts, leading in some cases to an "anti-orthogonality" effect. In the limit of strong system-lead coupling at zero temperature we demonstrate the onset of a Marcus-like Gaussian decay with {\it voltage difference} activation. This is analogous to the equilibrium spin-boson model, where at strong coupling and high temperatures the spin excitation rate manifests temperature activated Gaussian behavior. We find that there is no simple linear relationship between the role of the temperature in the bosonic system and a voltage drop in a non-equilibrium electronic case. The two models also differ by the orthogonality-catastrophe factor existing in a fermionic system, which modifies the resulting lineshapes. Implications for current characteristics are discussed. We demonstrate the violation of pair-wise Coulomb gas behavior for strong coupling to the leads. The results presented in this paper form the basis of an exact, non-perturbative description of steady-state quantum dissipative systems.

description: We propose an accurate and efficient method to compute vibrational spectra of molecules, based on exact diagonalization of an algebraically calculated matrix based on powers of Morse coordinate. The present work focuses on the 1D potential of diatomic molecules: as typical examples, we apply this method to the standard Lennard-Jones oscillator, and to the ab initio potential of the H2 molecule. Global cm-1 accuracy is exhibited through the H2 spectrum, obtained through the diagonalization of a 30 x 30 matrix. This theory is at the root of a new method to obtain globally accurate vibrational spectral data in the context of the multi-dimensional potential of polyatomic molecules, at an affordable computational cost.

description: Nowadays pragmatic competence is so important. Lack of pragmatic competence may result to problem in communication such as miscommunication and misunderstanding. The utterances in miscommunication or misunderstanding may be considered rude insults. This is the main reason why students need to learn and to have the pragmatic competence to support their communication abilities. In order to teach that pragmatic competence to students, teacher, then, has to own this competence. He or she has to understand and aware of pragmatics knowledge and pragmatics competence. These issues are discussed in present research.
Creative Action at a Distance: A Conceptual Framework for Embodied Performance With Robotic Actors

description: Acting, stand-up and dancing are creative, embodied performances that nonetheless follow a script. Unless experimental or improvised, the performers draw their movements from much the same stock of embodied schemas. A slavish following of the script leaves no room for creativity, but active interpretation of the script does. It is the choices one makes, of words and actions, that make a performance creative. In this theory and hypothesis article, we present a framework for performance and interpretation within robotic storytelling. The performance framework is built upon movement theory, and defines a taxonomy of basic schematic movements and the most important gesture types. For the interpretation framework, we hypothesise that emotionally-grounded choices can inform acts of metaphor and blending, to elevate a scripted performance into a creative one. Theory and hypothesis are each grounded in empirical research, and aim to provide resources for other robotic studies of the creative use of movement and gestures.

Maternal T cell activation and postnatal neurobiological changes to staphylococcal enterotoxin A
Creators: name: Nissenbaum, Marialaina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Maternal immune activation (MIA) is implicated in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder and schizophrenia. MIA is induced by immune challenge during pregnancy and can cause long-term changes in the brain and behavior of offspring. Much of the literature is focused on induction of innate immune responses, despite the adaptive immune system being the main target for many immune threats, including Staphylococcus aureus. Prior studies revealed that treatment with the T cell superantigen, Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A, induces a maternal T-cell response in the adaptive immune system, and subsequent abnormalities in offspring behavior. Our objective is to use this model of MIA to assess whether these behavioral changes are linked to changes in microglial cell function or dendritic spine plasticity. We predict that microglia will have a hyperactive response to MIA, and dendritic spines will develop abnormally. If these effects are observed, the results would indicate the importance of an adaptive immunity model of MIA and its importance in early brain development.

description: The energies of the excited states in very neutron-rich $^{42}$Si and $^{41,43}$P have been measured using in-beam $γ$-ray spectroscopy from the fragmentation of secondary beams of $^{42,44}$S at 39 A.MeV. The low 2$^+$ energy of $^{42}$Si, 770(19) keV, together with the level schemes of $^{41,43}$P provide evidence for the disappearance of the Z=14 and N=28 spherical shell closures, which is ascribed mainly to the action of proton-neutron tensor forces. New shell model calculations indicate that $^{42}$Si is best described as a well deformed oblate rotor.

description: As the peace movement against the NATO Double-Track Decision should be seen as a transnational phenomenon – like it is argued in this article – the (West-)German politician of Alliance ’90/The Greens, Petra Kelly, can be interpreted as an important mediator in this transnational movement. While claiming to represent the interests of the social movement in the German Bundestag, Kelly established relations between members of the governments and anti-war protesters, acted herself as peace activist, held speeches at protest meetings in several West European Countries, in Japan and in the United States. In addition, Kelly also acted as a contact person for the East German civil rights activists and dissidents. Her widespread engagement for the peace movement evoked national and international response. By reference to relevant sources this article aims at portraying Petra Kelly’s role within both the East and the West German peace movement – embedded in a transnational context.

description: Motivated by the possibility of a string landscape, we reexamine tunneling of a scalar field across single/multiple barriers. Recent investigations have suggested modifications to the usual picture of false vacuum decay that lead to efficient and rapid tunneling in the landscape when certain conditions are met. This can be due to stringy effects (e.g. tunneling via the DBI action), or by effects arising due to the presence of multiple vacua (e.g. resonance tunneling). In this paper we discuss both DBI tunneling and resonance tunneling. We provide a QFT treatment of resonance tunneling using the Schrödinger functional approach. We also show how DBI tunneling for supercritical barriers can naturally lead to conditions suitable for resonance tunneling. We argue using basic ideas from percolation theory that tunneling can be rapid in a landscape where a typical vacuum has multiple decay channels and discuss various cosmological implications. This rapidity vacuum decay can happen even if there are no resonance/DBI tunneling enhancements, solely due to the presence of a large number of decay channels. Finally, we consider various ways of circumventing a recent no-go theorem for resonance tunneling in quantum field theory.

description: We present a thermodynamic model which explains the presence of a negative slope in the melt curve, as observed in systems as diverse as the alkali metals and molecular hydrogen at high pressure. We assume that components of the system can be in one of two well defined states - one associated with low energy, the other with low volume. The model exhibits a number of measurable features which are also observed in these systems and are therefore expected to be associated with all negative Clapeyron-slope systems: first order phase transitions, thermodynamic anomalies along Widom lines. The melt curve maximum is a feature of the model, but appears well below the pressures where the change in state occurs in the solid: the solid-solid transition is related to the melt line minimum. An example of the model fitted to the electride transition in potassium is discussed.

description: Based on the recently proposed SUSY quantum Hall effect, we show that Laughlin and Moore-Read states are related by a hidden SUSY transformation. Regarding the SUSY Laughlin wavefunction as a master wavefunction, Laughlin and Moore-Read states appear as two extreme limits of component wavefunctions. Realizations of topological excitations on Laughlin and Moore-Read states are also discussed in the SUSY formalism. We develop a streographically projected formulation of the SUSY quantum Hall effect. With appropriate interpretation of Grassmann odd coordinates, we illustrate striking analogies between SUSY quantum Hall effect and superfluidity.

description: Numerical solutions of the Enskog-Vlasov (EV) equation are used to determine the velocity distribution function of atoms spontaneously evaporating into near-vacuum conditions. It is found that an accurate approximation is provided by a half-Maxwellian including a drift velocity combined with different characteristic temperatures for the velocity components normal and parallel to the liquid-vapor interface. The drift velocity and the temperature anisotropy reduce as the liquid bulk temperature decreases but persist for relatively low temperatures corresponding to a vapor behaviour which is only slightly non-ideal. Deviations from the undrifted isotropic half-Maxwellian are shown to be consequences of collisions in the liquid-vapor interface which preferentially backscatter atoms with lower normal-velocity component.

Perception of the missing fundamental in patients with low frequency hearing loss
Creators: name: Horvath, Gary Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The perception of the pitch of a harmonic complex tone missing its fundamental frequency was investigated in patients with unilateral sensorineural low-frequency hearing loss. Using a two-alternative forced choice adaptive method and an adjustment technique, patients matched the pitch of a complex tone consisting of the 3rd-7th or 3rd-10th harmonics, with a pure tone. Component frequencies were chosen such that they would fall within the intact portion of the patient's damaged ear, but whose fundamental frequency would fall within the damaged frequency area. Pitch matches were made monaurally and binaurally, with and without low-pass filtered noise. Results indicated that the patients tended to match the pitch of the lacking fundamentals to the complexes even though the frequency of the residue pitch fell within the range of elevated pure tone thresholds. It is concluded that information regarding the residue pitch is not mediated by cochlear nerve fibers with characteristic frequencies corresponding to the fundamental. Temporal cues carried by fibers with characteristic frequencies corresponding to the partials within the complex stimulus are most likely involved in pitch perception.

description: The Kitaev model realizes a quantum spin liquid where the spin excitations are fractionalized into itinerant Majorana fermions and localized $\mathbb{Z}_2$ vortices. Quantum entanglement between the fractional excitations can be utilized for decoherence-free topological quantum computation. Of particular interest is the anyonic statistics realized by braiding the vortex excitations under a magnetic field. Despite the promising potential, the practical methodology for creation and control of the vortex excitations remains elusive thus far. Here we theoretically propose how one can create and move the vortices in the Kitaev spin liquid. We find that the vortices are induced by a local modulation of the exchange interaction; especially, the local Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (symmetric off-diagonal) interaction can create vortices most efficiently in the (anti)ferromagnetic Kitaev model, as it effectively flips the sign of the Kitaev interaction. We test this idea by performing the {\it ab initio} calculation for a candidate material $α$-RuCl$_3$ through the manipulation of the ligand positions that breaks the inversion symmetry and induces the local Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. We also demonstrate a braiding of vortices by adiabatically and successively changing the local bond modulations.

description: Recent theoretical studies have predicted a new clustering mechanism for soft matter particles that interact via a certain kind of purely repulsive, bounded potentials. At sufficiently high densities, clusters of overlapping particles are formed in the fluid, which upon further compression crystallize into cubic lattices with density-independent lattice constants. In this work we show that amphiphilic dendrimers are suitable colloids for the experimental realization of this phenomenon. Thereby, we pave the way for the synthesis of such macromolecules, which form the basis for a novel class of materials with unusual properties.

description: Starting with the well-known Nambu-Goto action for an N-extended body system the propagator in the microcanonical ensemble is explicitly computed. This propagator is independent of the temperature and, in contrast with the previous references, takes account on all the non-local effects produced by the extended objects (e.g., strings) in interaction. The relation between relativistic quantum field theories in the microcanonical approach and the pure S-matrix formulation is stablished and analyzed.

description: In this paper we analyse the statistics of the 2D gas-phase oxygen abundance distributions of 100 nearby galaxies drawn from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field spectroscopy Area survey. After removing the large-scale radial metallicity gradient, we compute the two-point correlation functions of the resulting metallicity fluctuation maps. We detect correlations in the majority of our targets, which we show are significantly in excess of what is expected due to beam-smearing, and are robust against the choice of metallicity diagnostic. We show that the correlation functions are generally well-fit by the predictions of a simple model for stochastic metal injection coupled with diffusion, and from the model we show that, after accounting for the effects of both beam smearing and noise, the galaxies in our sample have characteristic correlation lengths of $\sim1$ kpc. Correlation lengths increase with both stellar mass and star formation rate, but show no significant variation with Hubble type, barredness, or merging state. We also find no evidence for a theoretically-predicted relationship between gas velocity dispersion and correlation length, though this may be due to the small dynamic range in gas velocity dispersion across our sample. Our results suggest that measurements of 2D metallicity correlation functions can be a powerful tool for studying galaxy evolution.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: We study the sensitivity of fiber grating sensors in the applications of strain, temperature, internal label-free biosensing, and internal refractive index sensing. It is shown that optical dispersion plays a central role in determining the sensitivity, and the dispersion may enhance or suppress sensitivity as well as change the sign of the resonant wavelength shifts. We propose a quality factor, $Q$, for characterizing LPGs.

description: We study occurrences of patterns on clusters of size n in random fields on Z^d. We prove that for a given pattern, there is a constant a>0 such that the probability that this pattern occurs at most an times on a cluster of size n is exponentially small. Moreover, for random fields obeying a certain Markov property, we show that the ratio between the numbers of occurrences of two distinct patterns on a cluster is concentrated around a constant value. This leads to an elegant and simple proof of the ratio limit theorem for these random fields, which states that the ratio of the probabilities that the cluster of the origin has sizes n+1 and n converges as n tends to infinity. Implications for the maximal cluster in a finite box are discussed.

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

description: We investigate the potential of the ILC for measuring anomalous quartic gauge couplings, both in production of three electroweak gauge bosons as well as in vector boson scattering. Any new physics that could possibly couple to the electroweak gauge bosons is classified according to its spin and isospin quantum numbers and parameterized in terms of resonance parameters like masses, widths, magnetic moment form factors etc. By a maximum log-likelihood fit, the discovery reach of a 1 TeV ILC for scalar, vector and tensor resonances is examined.

description: The third-order nonlinear Schrodinger equation (alias the Hirota equation) is investigated via deep leaning neural networks, which describes the strongly dispersive ion-acoustic wave in plasma and the wave propagation of ultrashort light pulses in optical fibers, as well as broader-banded waves on deep water. In this paper, we use the physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) deep learning method to explore the data-driven solutions (e.g., soliton, breather, and rogue waves) of the Hirota equation when the two types of the unperturbated and unperturbated (a 2% noise) training data are considered. Moreover, we use the PINNs deep learning to study the data-driven discovery of parameters appearing in the Hirota equation with the aid of solitons.

description: The abundance of interstellar ice constituents is usually expressed with respect to the water ice because, in denser regions, a significant portion of the interstellar grain surface would be covered by water ice. The binding energy (BE), or adsorption energy of the interstellar species regulates the chemical complexity of the interstellar grain mantle. Due to the high abundance of water ice, the BE of surface species with the water is usually provided and widely used in astrochemical modeling. However, the hydrogen molecules would cover some part of the grain mantle in the denser and colder part of the interstellar medium. Even at around ~ 10K, few atoms and simple molecules with lower adsorption energies can migrate through the surface. The BE of the surface species with H2 substrate would be very different from that of a water substrate. However, adequate information regarding these differences is lacking. Here, we employ the quantum chemical calculation to provide the BE of 95 interstellar species with H2 substrate. These are representative of the BEs of species to a H2 overlayer on a grain surface. On average, we notice that the BE with the H2 monomer substrate is almost ten times lower than the BE of these species reported earlier with the H2 O c-tetramer configuration. The encounter desorption of H and H2 was introduced (with ED (H, H2 ) =45 K and ED (H2 , H2 ) =23 K) to have a realistic estimation of the abundances of the surface species in the colder and denser region. Our quantum chemical calculations yield higher adsorption energy of H2 than that of H (ED (H, H2 ) = 23 - 25 K and ED (H2, H2 ) =67 - 79 K). We further implement an astrochemical model to study the effect of encounter desorption with the resent realistic estimation. The encounter desorption of the N atom (calculations yield ED (N, H2 ) =83 K) is introduced to study the differences with its inclusion.

description: The author argues that the ‘New’ Israeli Nationality Law is, despite its name, a natural, almost inevitable, product of the Zionist project in Palestine. Besides representing Zionist ideology, the law is part of a long-term attempt by the Israeli government to adjust Zionism to present-day realities and solve the so-called ‘demographic problem’ of the Jewish State.

description: Thermohaline mixing has recently been proposed to occur in low mass red giants, with large consequence for the chemical yields of low mass stars. We investigate the role of thermohaline mixing during the evolution of stars between 1 Msun and 3 Msun. We use a stellar evolution code which includes rotational mixing and internal magnetic fields. We confirm that thermohaline mixing has the potential to destroy most of the helium 3 which is produced earlier on the main sequence during the red giant stage, in stars below 1.5Msun. We find this process to continue during core helium burning and beyond. We find rotational and magnetic mixing to be negligible compared to the thermohaline mixing in the relevant layers, even if the interaction of thermohaline motions with the differential rotation may be essential to establish the time scale of thermohaline mixing in red giants.

description: Graph-based Neural Networks (GNNs) are recent models created for learning representations of nodes (and graphs), which have achieved promising results when detecting patterns that occur in large-scale data relating different entities. Among these patterns, financial fraud stands out for its socioeconomic relevance and for presenting particular challenges, such as the extreme imbalance between the positive (fraud) and negative (legitimate transactions) classes, and the concept drift (i.e., statistical properties of the data change over time). Since GNNs are based on message propagation, the representation of a node is strongly impacted by its neighbors and by the network's hubs, amplifying the imbalance effects. Recent works attempt to adapt undersampling and oversampling strategies for GNNs in order to mitigate this effect without, however, accounting for concept drift. In this work, we conduct experiments to evaluate existing techniques for detecting network fraud, considering the two previous challenges. For this, we use real data sets, complemented by synthetic data created from a new methodology introduced here. Based on this analysis, we propose a series of improvement points that should be investigated in future research.
