description: We have theoretically studied exciton states and photoluminescence spectra of strained wurtzite AlGaN/GaN quantum-well heterostructures. The electron and hole energy spectra are obtained by numerically solving the Schrödinger equation, both for a single-band Hamiltonian and for a non-symmetrical 6-band Hamiltonian. The deformation potential and spin-orbit interaction are taken into account. For increasing built-in field, generated by the piezoelectric polarization and by the spontaneous polarization, the energy of size quantization rises and the number of size quantized electron and hole levels in a quantum well decreases. The exciton energy spectrum is obtained using electron and hole wave functions and two-dimensional Coulomb wave functions as a basis. We have calculated the exciton oscillator strengths and identified the exciton states active in optical absorption. For different values of the Al content x, a quantitative interpretation, in a good agreement with experiment, is provided for (i) the red shift of the zero-phonon photoluminescence peaks for increasing the quantum-well width, (ii) the relative intensities of the zero-phonon and one-phonon photoluminescence peaks, found within the non-adiabatic approach, and (iii) the values of the photoluminescence decay time as a function of the quantum-well width.

description: The paper deals with the allomorphic variation in the definite article  and the object clitic in Neapolitan. After considering a phenomenon of  article and clitic deletion of the dialect of Roma and reviewing the  analyses that have been developed on this topic, the paper takes into  account a similar phenomenon in Neapolitan. The proposal here advanced  is that l-deletion in Neapolitan dialect should be considered an  instance of allomorphic variation instead of a purely phonological  process.

description: We introduce a simple string model of inflation, in which the inflaton field can take trans-Planckian values while driving a period of slow-roll inflation. This leads naturally to a realisation of large field inflation, inasmuch as the inflationary epoch is well described by the single-field scalar potential $V = V_0 (3-4 e^{-\hatφ/\sqrt{3}})$. Remarkably, for a broad class of vacua all adjustable parameters enter only through the overall coefficient $V_0$, and in particular do not enter into the slow-roll parameters. Consequently these are determined purely by the number of \e-foldings, $N_e$, and so are not independent: $\varepsilon \simeq \frac32 η^2$. This implies similar relations among observables like the primordial scalar-to-tensor amplitude, $r$, and the scalar spectral tilt, $n_s$: $r \simeq 6(n_s - 1)^2$. $N_e$ is itself more model-dependent since it depends partly on the post-inflationary reheat history. In a simple reheating scenario a reheating temperature of $T_{rh}\simeq 10^{9}$ GeV gives $N_e\simeq 58$, corresponding to $n_s\simeq 0.970$ and $r\simeq 0.005$, within reach of future observations. The model is an example of a class that arises naturally in the context of type IIB string compactifications with large-volume moduli stabilisation, and takes advantage of the generic existence there of Kahler moduli whose dominant appearance in the scalar potential arises from string loop corrections to the Kahler potential. The inflaton field is a combination of Kahler moduli of a K3-fibered Calabi-Yau manifold. We believe there are likely to be a great number of models in this class -- `high-fibre models' -- in which the inflaton starts off far enough up the fibre to produce observably large primordial gravity waves.

Dispersion analyses of finite element solutions of the shallow water equations
Creators: name: Foreman, Michael George Garvin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis investigates the accuracy and stability of finite element solutions of the shallow water equations. The method of investigation is referred to as a dispersion analysis. It compares numerical phase velocities, group velocities, and wave amplification factors to their analytic counterparts. Chapter 1 discusses the shallow water equations, finite element and finite difference methods, and reviews previous work. The advantages and disadvantages of a dispersion analysis are also discussed. Chapters 2 and 3 are restricted to numerical solutions of the one dimensional linearized shallow water equations. The phase and group velocities of eight spatial discretizations are calculated and examined for their relative merits. The most accurate two-step time-stepping methods are found for three finite element spatial discretizations; the wave equation model of Gray and Lynch, the Galerkin method with linear basis functions, and the Galerkin method which combines quadratic basis functions for velocity with linear functions for elevation. It is also shown that with an appropriate time-stepping method, lumping the wave equation model need not cause an accuracy loss. Chapter 4 extends the analysis to the linearized two dimensional equations. Finite element solutions are computed for two configurations of triangular elements. Two finite element methods, Thacker's method and the lumped wave equation model, are shown to be cost competitive and as accurate as the Richardson-Sielecki explicit finite difference method. The analysis also suggests that finite element meshes comprised of equilateral triangles most accurately represent phase and group velocity. Chapter 5 extends the one dimensional dispersion analysis to include boundary conditions. The stability and relative accuracy of several absorbing boundary conditions are examined. Accuracy is evaluated through the calculation of reflection coefficients. An unstable boundary condition of the type examined by Trefethen is also found.

description: Self-assembled arrays of atomic chains on Si(111) represent a fascinating family of nanostructures with quasi-one-dimensional electronic properties. These surface reconstructions are stabilized by a variety of adsorbates ranging from alkali and alkaline earth metals to noble and rare earth metals. Combining the complementary strength of dynamical low-energy electron diffraction, scanning tunneling microscopy and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we recently showed that besides monovalent and divalent adsorbates, trivalent adsorbates are also able to stabilize silicon honeycomb chains. Consequently silicon honeycomb chains emerge as a most stable, universal building block shared by many atomic chain structures. We here present the systematics behind the self-assembly mechanism of these chain systems and relate the valence state of the adsorbate to the accessible symmetries of the chains.

Questioni di genere e metafore animali nella letteratura greca

Publisher: name: Annali Online  Lettere - Ferrara
Year: 2012

description: On the threshold of separating humans from animals, we can trace not  only taxonomic and cognitive issues but also power dynamics through  literature and language.  Anthropology has long started  focusing on the  normative function of the zoomorphic images created by these cultural  media.  In the ancient Greek culture this function can be found in the  construction of gender identities, as shown by the very ancient model by  which women formed their own génos, conceived in term of a species completely different from the male one, and marked with a specific nóos.  Another example can be found in the set of metaphors illustrating the  woman as a sort of animal to be tamed. In a specular way, the animal  species met with a gender characterization: this is quite clear in the  physiognomy, whereby "male" species such as the lion, the wolf and the  wild boar, were opposed to "female" species like the leopard, the dog  and the swine. This phenomenon could sometimes find an equivalent in the  linguistic use, where the semantic gender of some animal names shifts  to match the marked male/female features of the species, reinforcing the  impression that the gender characterizations of the different species  could constitute a coherent and meaningful semantic set, with well  defined functions in the building of the social identities man/woman.

description: Observations of the black hole X-ray binary V404 Cyg with the very long baseline interferometer HSA (the High Sensitivity Array) have detected the source at a frequency of 8.4 GHz, providing a source position accurate to 0.3 mas relative to the calibrator source. The observations put an upper limit of 1.3 mas on the source size (5.2 AU at 4 kpc) and a lower limit of 7 x 10^6 K on its brightness temperature during the normal quiescent state, implying that the radio emission must be non-thermal, most probably synchrotron radiation, possibly from a jet. The radio lightcurves show a short flare, with a rise time of about 30 min, confirming that the source remains active in the quiescent state.

How Bayesian Should Bayesian Optimisation Be?

description: Bayesian optimisation (BO) uses probabilistic surrogate models - usually Gaussian processes (GPs) - for the optimisation of expensive black-box functions. At each BO iteration, the GP hyperparameters are fit to previously-evaluated data by maximising the marginal likelihood. However, this fails to account for uncertainty in the hyperparameters themselves, leading to overconfident model predictions. This uncertainty can be accounted for by taking the Bayesian approach of marginalising out the model hyperparameters. We investigate whether a fully-Bayesian treatment of the Gaussian process hyperparameters in BO (FBBO) leads to improved optimisation performance. Since an analytic approach is intractable, we compare FBBO using three approximate inference schemes to the maximum likelihood approach, using the Expected Improvement (EI) and Upper Confidence Bound (UCB) acquisition functions paired with ARD and isotropic Matern kernels, across 15 well-known benchmark problems for 4 observational noise settings. FBBO using EI with an ARD kernel leads to the best performance in the noise-free setting, with much less difference between combinations of BO components when the noise is increased. FBBO leads to over-exploration with UCB, but is not detrimental with EI. Therefore, we recommend that FBBO using EI with an ARD kernel as the default choice for BO.

description: Brazilian protected areas are essential for plant conservation in the Atlantic Forest domain, one of the 36 global biodiversity hotspots. A major challenge for improving conservation actions is to know the plant richness, protected by these areas. Online databases offer an
accessible way to build plant species lists and to provide relevant information about biodiversity. A list of land plants of “Parque Nacional do Caparaó” (PNC) was previously built using online databases and published on the website "Catálogo de Plantas das
Unidades de Conservação do Brasil." Here, we provide and discuss additional information
about plant species richness, endemism and conservation in the PNC that could not be
included in the List. We documented 1,791 species of land plants as occurring in PNC, of
which 63 are cited as threatened (CR, EN or VU) by the Brazilian National Red List, seven
as data deficient (DD) and five as priorities for conservation. Fifity-one species were
possible new ocurrences for ES and MG states.

description: We observed small scale magnetic flux emergence in a sunspot moat region by the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) aboard the Hinode satellite. We analyzed filtergram images observed in the wavelengths of Fe 6302 angstrom, G-band and Ca II H. In Stokes I images of Fe 6302 angstrom, emerging magnetic flux were recognized as dark lanes. In G-band, they showed their shapes almost the same as in Stokes I images. These magnetic flux appeared as dark filaments in Ca II H images. Stokes V images of Fe 6302 angstrom showed pairs of opposite polarities at footpoints of each filament. These magnetic concentrations are identified to correspond to bright points in G-band/Ca II H images. From the analysis of time-sliced diagrams, we derived following properties of emerging flux, which are consistent with the previous works. (1) Two footpoints separate each other at a speed of 4.2 km/s during the initial phase of evolution and decreases to about 1 km/s in 10 minutes later. (2) Ca II H filaments appear almost simultaneously with the formation of dark lanes in Stokes I in the observational cadence of 2 minutes. (3) The lifetime of the dark lanes in Stokes I and G-band is 8 minutes, while that of Ca filament is 12 minutes. An interesting phenomena was observed that an emerging flux tube expands laterally in the photosphere with a speed of 3.8 km/s. Discussion on the horizontal expansion of flux tube will be given with refernce to previous simulation studies.

description: By a real alphabeta-geometry we mean a four-dimensional manifold M equipped with a neutral metric h such that (M,h) admits both an integrable distribution of alpha-planes and an integrable distribution of beta-planes. We obtain a local characterization of the metric when at least one of the distributions is parallel (i.e., is a Walker geometry) and the three-dimensional distribution spanned by the alpha- and beta-distributions is integrable. The case when both distributions are parallel, which has been called two-sided Walker geometry, is obtained as a special case. We also consider real αβ-geometries for which the corresponding spinors are both multiple Weyl principal spinors.

description: A nanohertz-frequency stochastic gravitational-wave background can potentially be detected through the precise timing of an array of millisecond pulsars. This background produces low-frequency noise in the pulse arrival times that would have a characteristic spectrum common to all pulsars and a well-defined spatial correlation. Recently the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves collaboration (NANOGrav) found evidence for the common-spectrum component in their 12.5-year data set. Here we report on a search for the background using the second data release of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array. If we are forced to choose between the two NANOGrav models $\unicode{x2014}$ one with a common-spectrum process and one without $\unicode{x2014}$ we find strong support for the common-spectrum process. However, in this paper, we consider the possibility that the analysis suffers from model misspecification. In particular, we present simulated data sets that contain noise with distinctive spectra but show strong evidence for a common-spectrum process under the standard assumptions. The Parkes data show no significant evidence for, or against, the spatially correlated Hellings-Downs signature of the gravitational-wave background. Assuming we did observe the process underlying the spatially uncorrelated component of the background, we infer its amplitude to be $A = 2.2^{+0.4}_{-0.3} \times 10^{-15}$ in units of gravitational-wave strain at a frequency of $1\, \text{yr}^{-1}$. Extensions and combinations of existing and new data sets will improve the prospects of identifying spatial correlations that are necessary to claim a detection of the gravitational-wave background.

An asymptotic loop extension for the effective potential in the p(ø)₂ quantum field theory
Creators: name: Slade, Gordon Douglas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The effective potential V(n,a) for the Euclidean p(ø)₂ quantum field theory is defined to be the Fenchel transform (convex conjugate) of the pressure in an external field, and is shown to be finite. The parameter h is Planck’s constant divided by 2π. The classical limit (h↓0) of the effective potential is shown to be the convex hull of the classical potential P(a) + 1/2m²a². For values of a for which the classical potential is equal to its convex hull and has a nonvanishing second derivative, the usual one-particle irreducible loop expansion for the effective potential is shown to be asymptotic as (h↓0), using a uniformly convergent (as h↓0) high temperature cluster expansion and irreducibility properties of the Legendre transform. For the same values of a, V is shown to be analytic in a for sufficiently small h. Finally an example is given for a double well classical potential where the one-particle irreducible loop expansion fails to be asymptotic, and the true asymptotics are obtained.

description: With the rapid development of smart mobile devices, the car-hailing platforms (e.g., Uber or Lyft) have attracted much attention from both the academia and the industry. In this paper, we consider an important dynamic car-hailing problem, namely \textit{maximum revenue vehicle dispatching} (MRVD), in which rider requests dynamically arrive and drivers need to serve as many riders as possible such that the entire revenue of the platform is maximized. We prove that the MRVD problem is NP-hard and intractable. In addition, the dynamic car-hailing platforms have no information of the future riders, which makes the problem even harder. To handle the MRVD problem, we propose a queueing-based vehicle dispatching framework, which first uses existing machine learning algorithms to predict the future vehicle demand of each region, then estimates the idle time periods of drivers through a queueing model for each region. With the information of the predicted vehicle demands and estimated idle time periods of drivers, we propose two batch-based vehicle dispatching algorithms to efficiently assign suitable drivers to riders such that the expected overall revenue of the platform is maximized during each batch processing. Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed approaches over both real and synthetic datasets.

description: Noncoplanar radiation therapy treatment planning has the potential to improve dosimetric quality as compared to traditional coplanar techniques. Likewise, automated treatment planning algorithms can reduce a planner's active treatment planning time and remove inter-planner variability. To address the limitations of traditional treatment planning, we have been developing a suite of algorithms called station parameter optimized radiation therapy (SPORT). Within the SPORT suite of algorithms, we propose a method called NC-POPS to produce noncoplanar (NC) plans using the fully automated Pareto Optimal Projection Search (POPS) algorithm. Our NC-POPS algorithm extends the original POPS algorithm to the noncoplanar setting with potential applications to both IMRT and VMAT. The proposed algorithm consists of two main parts: 1) noncoplanar beam angle optimization (BAO) and 2) fully automated inverse planning using the POPS algorithm. We evaluate the performance of NC-POPS by comparing between various noncoplanar and coplanar configurations. To evaluate plan quality, we compute the homogeneity index (HI), conformity index (CI), and dose-volume histogram (DVH) statistics for various organs-at-risk (OARs). As compared to the evaluated coplanar baseline methods, the proposed NC-POPS method achieves significantly better OAR sparing, comparable or better dose conformity, and similar dose homogeneity. Our proposed NC-POPS algorithm provides a modular approach for fully automated treatment planning of noncoplanar IMRT cases with the potential to substantially improve treatment planning workflow and plan quality.

description: The exact solution of directed self-avoiding walks confined to a slit of finite width and interacting with the walls of the slit via an attractive potential has been calculated recently. The walks can be considered to model the polymer-induced steric stabilisation and sensitised floculation of colloidal dispersions. The large width asymptotics led to a phase diagram different to that of a polymer attached to, and attracted to, a single wall. The question that arises is: can one interpolate between the single wall and two wall cases? In this paper we calculate the exact scaling functions for the partition function by considering the two variable asymptotics of the partition function for simultaneous large length and large width. Consequently, we find the scaling functions for the force induced by the polymer on the walls. We find that these scaling functions are given by elliptic theta-functions. In some parts of the phase diagram there is more a complex crossover between the single wall and two wall cases and we elucidate how this happens.

description: In recent years, HST revolutionized the field of star formation in nearby galaxies. Due to its high angular resolution it has now become possible to construct star formation histories of individual stellar populations on scales of a few arcseconds spanning a range of up to ~600 Myr. This method will be applied to the ANGST galaxies, a large HST volume limited survey to map galaxies up to distances of 3.5-4.0 Mpc (excluding the Local Group). The ANGST sample is currently followed--up by high, ~6'' resolution VLA observations of neutral, atomic hydrogen (HI) in the context of VLA-ANGST, an approved Large VLA Project. The VLA resolution is well matched to that of the spatially resolved star formation history maps. The combination of ANGST and VLA-ANGST data will provide a new, promising approach to study essential fields of galaxy evolution such as the triggering of star formation, the feedback of massive stars into the interstellar medium, and the structure and dynamics of the interstellar medium.

description: Solar flares emanate from solar active regions hosting complex and strong bipolar magnetic fluxes. Estimating the probability of an active region to flare and defining reliable precursors of intense flares is an extremely challenging task in the space weather field. In this work, we focus on two metrics as flare precursors, the unsigned flux R, tested on MDI/SOHO data and one of the most used parameters for flare forecasting applications, and a novel topological parameter D representing the complexity of a solar active region. More in detail, we propose an algorithm for the computation of the R value which exploits the higher spatial resolution of HMI maps. This algorithm leads to a differently computed R value, whose functionality is tested on a set of cycle 24th solar flares. Furthermore, we introduce a topological parameter based on the automatic recognition of magnetic polarity-inversion lines in identified active regions, and able to evaluate its magnetic topological complexity. We use both a heuristic approach and a supervised machine learning method to validate the effectiveness of these two descriptors to predict the occurrence of X- or M- class flares in a given solar active region during the following 24 hours period. Our feature ranking analysis shows that both parameters play a significant role in prediction performances. Moreover, the analysis demonstrates that the new topological parameter D is the only one, among 173 overall predictors, which is always present for all test subsets and is systematically ranked within the top-ten positions in all tests concerning the computation of the weighs with which each predictor impacts the flare forecasting.

Supernova remnants with magnetars: clues to magnetar formation
Creators: name: Vink, Jacco
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I discuss the lack of observational evidence that magnetars are formed as rapidly rotating neutron stars. Supernova remnants containing magnetars do not show the excess of kinetic energy expected for such a formation scenario, nor is there any evidence for a relic pulsar wind nebula. However, it could be that magnetars are formed with somewhat slower rotation periods, or that not all excess rotational energy was used to boost the explosion energy, for example as a result of gravitational radiation. Another observational tests for the rapid initial period hypothesis is to look for statistical evidence that about 1% of the observed supernovae have an additional 1E40-1E44 erg/s excess energy during the first year, caused by the spin down luminosity of a magnetar. An alternative scenario for the high magnetic fields of magnetars is the fossil field hypothesis, in which the magnetic field is inherited from the progenitor star. Direct observational tests for this hypothesis are harder to formulate, unless the neutron star formed in the SN1987A explosion emerges as a slowly rotating magnetar. Finally, I point out the possible connection between the jets in Cas A and its X-ray point source: the jets in Cas A may indicate that the explosion was accompanied by an X-ray flash, probably powered by a rapidly rotating compact object. However, the point source in Cas A does not seem to be a rapidly rotating neutron star, suggesting that the neutron star has slowed down considerably in 330 yr, requiring a magnetar-like field.

description: When immiscible wetting and non-wetting fluids move in parallel in a porous medium, an instability may occur at sufficiently high capillary numbers so that interfaces between the fluids initially held in place by the porous medium are mobilized. A boundary zone containing bubbles of both fluids evolve which has a well defined thickness. This zone moves at constant average speed towards the non-wetting fluid. A diffusive current of bubbles of non-wetting fluid into the wetting fluid is set up.

The Faddeev-Popov technique in gauge field theories
Creators: name: Sharpe, Bruce John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: We adapt the Faddeev-Popov technique to lattice gauge field theories. Our formulation strongly suggests that the Faddeev-Popov formula, which has come into doubt since the discovery of Gribov ambiguities, is in fact correct. More precisely, we show that Gribov ambiguities can occur in the lattice theory, but that "usually" they do not affect the Faddeev-Popov formula; a method is given for determining when the lattice Faddeev-Popov formula is not valid. We are able to answer in the lattice theory many questions that arise naturally in the continuum theory but which have remained unsettled up to now. We show that a formal limit of the lattice Faddeev-Popov formula yields the usual continuum formula. We prove some partial results which bear on the problem of proving a rigorous continuum limit.
Thermal Imaging Cameras as catch factors for students’ current interest

description: Generating interest in different school subjects is one educational goal. Interest has an impact on learning processes and learning outcomes. Teachers can only trigger the situational interest of students e.g. by using attractive devices and media, or designing an interesting environment. With the advancing technological developments of recent years, the use of Thermal Imaging Cameras in school has become possible. These make phenomena and processes visible which are normally invisible. The cameras show a two-dimensional temperature profile of an observed region. Temperature changes due to certain processes like friction can been seen, so that students are fostered to gain knowledge about these processes. The goal of this study is to examine whether experimenting with Thermal Imaging Cameras increases the current interest in students, which aspects of current interest – emotional, value-related, epistemic – are addressed, and which characteristics of the camera functions as a catch factor. Therefore, 53 students from the 7th grade were asked, regarding their current interest, the three dimensions of the current interest and attractive features of Thermal Imaging Cameras in part in a pre-post-design. The results indicate that the camera did appeal to them. The students were particularly interested in the fact that the invisible was made visible. However, it did not succeed in increasing their current interest. It also turned out that the students appreciated doing experiments independently of the different media.

Involutions with 1- or 2-dimensional fixed point sets on orientable torus bundles over a 1-sphere and on unions of orientable twisted I-bundles over a Klein bottle
Creators: name: Holzmann, Wolfgang Herbert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: We obtain a complete equivariant torus theorem for involutions on 3-manifolds M. M is not required to be orientable nor is H,(M) restricted to be infinite. The proof proceeds by a surgery argument. Similar theorems are given for annuli and for discs. These are used to classify involutions on various spaces such as orientable twisted I-bundles over a Klein bottle. Next we restrict our attention to orientable torus bundles over S¹ or unions of orientable twisted I-bundles over a Klein bottle. The equivariant torus theorem is applied to the problem of determining which of these spaces have involutions with 1-dimensional fixed point sets. It is shown that the fixed point set must be one, two, three, or four 1-spheres. Matrix conditions that determine which of these spaces have involutions with a given number of V-spheres as the fixed point sets are obtained. The involutions with 2-dimensional fixed point sets on orientable torus bundles over S¹ and on unions of orientable twisted I-bundles over a Klein bottle are classified. Only the orientable flat 3-space forms M₁, M₂ and M₆ have involutions with 2-dimensional fixed sets. Up to conjugacy, M₁ has two involutions, M₂ has four involutions, and M₆ has a unique involution.

description: In this paper we consider two problems regarding the scheduling of available personnel in order to perform a given quantity of work, which can be arbitrarily decomposed into a sequence of activities. We are interested in schedules which minimize the overall dissatisfaction, where each employee's dissatisfaction is modeled as a time-dependent linear function. For the two situations considered we provide a detailed mathematical analysis, as well as efficient algorithms for determining optimal schedules.
