Making Europeans: Pan-European television and the European Community
Creators: name: Theiler, Tobias
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: In the early 1980s, the European Community adopted the objective of complementing economic and political integration with the building of a nation-transcending "Europe of culture." This led to efforts to encourage pan-European television broadcasting through measures such as "Europa TV," the "Television Without Frontiers" directive and the MEDIA programme. The EC's interest in television was in part stimulated by technical innovations which facilitated the transmission of broadcast signals across national borders. But above all, Brussels subscribed to the notion advanced by many communication and integration models that communication in general and electronic mass media in particular could help undermine ethnic consciousness and enhance the "identitive power" of supranational institutions. A few years later, however, most pan-European television channels had floundered or redirected their services to a national or monolingual audience. The demise of pan-European broadcasting can partially be blamed on wanting language skills, inadequate translation techniques and obstructionism by national governments. At the same time, it signifies that efforts to sway audiences towards a denationalized "European perspective" have remained futile, despite Brussels's claim that an overarching European identity has its origins in a legacy of medieval cosmopolitanism. Instead of guiding Europeans towards greater cultural unity and closer identification with supranational institutions, the EC's cultural policies have caused anxieties among national governments and a wider public alike. While some governments resisted their formation and implementation (for example by limiting the Community's expenditures in the "cultural sector" and by obstructing the distribution of pan-European television signals on their territories), the ratio of Europeans who sense the preservation of their national identity incompatible with their country's involvement in European integration grew. I conclude by arguing that the failure of pan-European television is but one sign that the EC's cultural policies in their current form are bound to do more harm than they can hope to create stability. A consociational strategy, aimed at strengthening the cultural autonomy of the EC's member states by assigning all powers in the cultural sphere to the national or sub-national domain, could better consolidate the European project in its economic and political dimensions.

description: We show that if the Wigner function of a (possibly mixed) quantum state decays toward infinity faster than any polynomial in the phase space variables $x$ and $p$, then so do all of its derivatives, i.e., it is a Schwartz function on phase space. This is equivalent to the condition that the Husimi function is a Schwartz function, that the quantum state is a Schwartz operator in the sense of Keyl et al., and, in the case of a pure state, that the wavefunction is a Schwartz function on configuration space. We discuss the interpretation of this constraint on Wigner functions and provide explicit bounds on Schwartz seminorms.

Quark-Gluon Plasma and Nucleons a la Laughlin

description: Inspired by Laughlin's theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect, we explore the topological nature of the quark-gluon plasma and the nucleons in the context of the Clifford algebra. In our model, each quark is transformed into a composite particle via the simultaneous attachment of a spin monopole and an isospin monopole. This is induced by a novel kind of meson endowed with both spin and isospin degrees of freedom. The interactions in the strongly coupled quark-gluon system are governed by the topological winding number of the monopoles, which is an odd integer to ensure that the overall wave function is antisymmetric. The states of the quark-gluon plasma and the nucleons are thus uniquely determined by the combination of the monopole winding number m and the total quark number N. The radius squared of the quark-gluon plasma droplet is expected to be proportional to mN. We anticipate the observation of such proportionality in the heavy ion collision experiments.

description: Τα εύκαμπτα υλικά συσκευασίας διαδραματίζουν έναν πολύ σημαντικό ρόλο στην διατήρηση των οργανοληπτικών χαρακτηριστικών του τρόφιμου αλλά και στην αύξηση της διάρκειας ζωής. Παρόλα αυτά, αυξάνεται όλο και περισσότερο η απαίτηση του αγοραστικού κοινού για την εύρεση συσκευασιών οι οποίες θα έχουν ένα καλύτερο οικολογικό προφίλ. Οι βιοαποικοδομίσημες συσκευασίες αποτελούν ένα πολύ σημαντικό πυλώνα της λύσης του συγκεκριμένου προβλήματος. Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετάται η παραγωγή βιοαποικοδομήσεων φιλμ, με την παρασκευή δύο βασικών κατηγοριών: • Φιλμ χιτοζάνης- κυτταρίνης- πρόπολης • Φιλμ χιτοζάνης- κυτταρίνης- πρόπολης- καρβακρόλης. Κατά την παρασκευή των συγκεκριμένων φιλμ, παρατηρούνται τόσο οι αντι-μικροβιακές , αντιοξειδωτικές, μηχανικές τους όπως και άλλες ιδιότητες τους. Σκοπός της εργασίας αποτελεί, η όσο το δυνατόν πιο ολοκληρωμένη εικόνα για της ευεργετικές δράσεις τόσο της πρόπολης αλλά και της καρβακρόλης και η επίδραση τους στις ιδιότητες του φιλμ, αλλά και η παρατήρηση τυχόν περιθωρίου βελτίωσης των ιδιοτήτων τους όταν δρουν συνεργαστικά.
description: Flexible packaging materials play a very important role in maintaining the organoleptic characteristics of the food but also in increasing its shelf life. However, the demand of the public for packages with an improved ecological profile, is increasing constantly. Biodegradable packaging is a very important pillar of the solution to this problem. In the present thesis, the experiments were focused on the production of biodegradable films, with the preparation of two main categories: • Chitosan-cellulose-propolis film • Chitosan-cellulose-propolis-carvacrol film. During the preparation of these films, their antimicrobial, antioxidant, mechanical and other properties are observed. The aim of the work is the better knowledge of the beneficial effects of both propolis and carvacrol, and the way the oils affect the properties of the film, as well as the observation of the possibility for improvement of their properties when they act collaboratively.

description: We study the relativistic BCS-BEC crossover within a class of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio type models, including arbitrary Lorentz-scalar pairing channels. Using the mean-field approximation we investigate spectral properties of the collective bosonic excitations in the superfluid phase, with particular attention to the Nambu--Goldstone bosons of the broken symmetry. This is a first step towards a systematic improvement of the mean-field approximation by including the fluctuation effects. The general results are illustrated on pairing in dense two-flavor quark matter - the two-flavor color superconductor.

description: We analyze the screening of static diquark sources in 2-flavor QCD and compare results with the screening of static quark-antiquark pairs. We show that a two quark system in a fixed color representations is screened at short distances like a single quark source in the same color representation whereas at large distances the two quarks are screened independently. At high temperatures we observe that the relative strength of the interaction in diquark and quark-antiquark systems, respectively, obeys Casimir scaling. We use this result to examine the possible existence of heavy quark-quark bound states in the high temperature phase of QCD. We find support for the existence of $bb$ states up to about $2T_c$ while $cc$ states are unlikely to be formed above $T_c$.

description: The European Union (EU) is the most advanced regional political and economic entity in the world. The EU as a supranational organisation includes different kinds of bodies that use communication as a strategic means to establish relationships with different publics. The democratic legitimacy of a political system and its policies depends on the interaction between citizens and political actors. European citizens’ consensus is pivotal in the process of European integration as it is proven by recent referenda across the European Union. Nonetheless, because of their highly technocratic nature EU affairs still hold a small portion of the national news agenda and media coverage is not always positive. This thesis attempts to examine to what extent does the European Commission’s communication output and its media coverage by major national media provide the information required for the discussion of EU affairs in the public sphere. This research will look at the communication effectiveness of the European Commission, the EU institutional spokesperson, during Brexit negotiations on the Withdrawal Agreement.
description: Η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση είναι η πιο προηγμένη περιφερειακή πολιτική και οικονομική οντότητα στον κόσμο. Ως υπερεθνικός οργανισμός, η ΕΕ χρησιμοποιεί την επικοινωνία ως στρατηγικό εργαλείο για να εδραιώσει και να αναπτύξει την σχέση της με το κοινό της, εξωτερικό και εσωτερικό. Η δημοκρατική νομιμοποίηση ενός πολιτικού συστήματος και των πολιτικών επιλογών του εξαρτάται από την αλληλεπίδραση μεταξύ των πολιτών και των πολιτικών παραγόντων. Η συναίνεση των Ευρωπαίων είναι αδήριτης σημασίας για το μέλλον της Ευρωπαϊκής ολοκλήρωσης, όπως έχουν αποδείξει τα δημοψηφίσματα σε όλη την ευρωπαϊκή ήπειρο. Παρόλα αυτά, εξαιτίας της τεχνοκρατικής φύσης της ΕΕ, η ευρωπαϊκή ολοκλήρωση απασχολεί μικρό μέρος της ημερησίας ατζέντας των Μέσα Μαζικής Επικοινωνίας και δεν λαμβάνει πάντα θετικής κριτικής. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία προσπαθεί να μελετήσει σε ποιο βαθμό η δημόσια επικοινωνία της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης και η κάλυψη της από τα Μέσα Μαζικής Επικοινωνίας προσφέρει στους πολίτες τις απαραίτητες πληροφορίες για την ενίσχυση της δημόσιας συζήτησης για την ευρωπαϊκή ολοκλήρωση. Η έρευνα θα εξετάσει την αποτελεσματικότητα της επικοινωνίας της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής, του θεσμικού εκπροσώπου της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, στην διάρκεια των διαπραγματεύσεων για την Συμφωνία αποχώρησης του Ηνωμένου Βασιλείου από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση.
An investigation of secondhand prices : a case of handymax dry bulk carriers
Creators: name: Wang, Gerry Y. G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The behaviour of the secondhand values of ships in the sale and purchase market is a very interesting issue. Almost all existing research related to this issue is qualitative or theoretical. The conclusions have not been subject to empirical testing. In this thesis, the quantitative relationship between the secondhand values and the factors that affect the values significantly is examined for the particular case of handymax dry bulk carriers. A model is estimated to examine the effects of changes in newbuilding prices, the freight market and other market conditions on the secondhand values. The results obtained are very consistent with the most popular qualitative insertions. Through the selected log linear autoregression model, it is found that the secondhand values of the handymax bulk carriers are primarily related to endogenous market conditions within the handymax sector, such as freight rates, newbuilding prices and the age of handymax bulkers. The thesis is a new approach to the investigation of the ship market and freight market. It is of particular value to the participants in the ship sale and purchase market. The data used for the research are composed of about 3,064 observations of the sale and purchase transaction records for the past 10 years plus corresponding collection of other variables.

Σε συνδυασμό με την πληθώρα γαλλο-καναδικών λεξιλογικών και πολιτισμικών στοιχείων που περιέχει συνιστά μια μεγάλη μεταφραστική πρόκληση καθότι πρόκειται για ένα έργο με απαιτητική γλώσσα
description: This present thesis is an annotated translation of the theatrical play “J’accuse” by the French-canadian writer Annick Lefebvre. Its aim is to accent the specific features of theatrical plays and its translations’, as well as to examine the lexical and pragmatic translation difficulties during the process of translation. Lefebvre’s work is characterized by dense and lengthy speech. In addition to the great number of French-canadian lexical and cultural elements that it contains, it is of great translational challenge as it has a demanding language

We show that a group has word problem accepted by a blind n-counter automaton in the sense of Greibach if and only if it is virtually free abelian of rank n; this result, which answers a question of Gilman, is in a very precise sense an abelian analogue of the Muller-Schupp theorem. More generally, if G is a virtually abelian group then every group with word problem recognised by a G-automaton is virtually abelian with growth class bounded above by the growth class of G. We consider also other types of counter automata.

description: The adoption of ICT in classrooms is very important in order to improve education quality, promote effective management of knowledge, and improve delivery of knowledge in higher education. Some of the Libyan universities have already started using E-learning in classrooms, but many challenges are still hindering that adoption. This paper endeavors to find the obstacles that may face the adoption of E-learning in Libya and sketches out the possible solutions. Further, it highlights the potentials for the adoption of E-learning in the higher education system in Libya using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Both questioner and interview have been used on a focused group to collect the data. Teachers and students at Al Asmarya Islamic University have been selected as a sample for this study. This paper reveals that the challenges hindering teachers and students from using ICT and E-learning are: the lack of knowledge about ICT and E-learning, the lack of ICT infrastructure, and the lack of financial support. However, the participants show a high level of interest in applying the ICT and E-learning in the university despite the unsuitability of the environment.

Optical spectroscopy of the dwarf nova U Geminorum

description: U Gem is unique in having a direct measurement of K1 = 107 +- 2 km/s, Long et al. 1999). We present high-resolution optical spectra of the dwarf nova U Gem in quiescence taken to test the accuracy to which the HST value can be recovered from optical data. We find that, even with data of very high S/N we cannot recover Long et al.'s value to better than about 20% by any method. Contamination by neighbouring emission lines seems a likely culprit. Our data reveal a number of new features: Doppler tomograms show emission at low velocity, close to the centre of mass, and a transient, narrow absorption feature is seen in the Balmer lines near the line centres at the time of eclipse. We suggest that stellar prominences, as previously invoked for the dwarf novae IP Peg and SS Cyg in outburst, may explain both of these features. The He II 4686.75 A line emission is dominated by the gas stream/disc impact region. Two distinct spots are seen in Doppler maps, the first being very narrow and showing a velocity close to that of the accretion disc in the impact region, and the second much broader and located between the velocities of the (ballistic) stream and the (Keplerian) disc. We present tentative evidence of weak spiral structure. We find no evidence of stream-disc overflow in the system. Our data suggests an inclination angle > 70 degrees, adding to the evidence of a puzzle in the mass of U Gem's white dwarf. The mass donor is clearly seen in the Doppler maps, with emission concentrated towards its poles, and mainly on the side facing the white dwarf. This suggests irradiation with shielding by the disc from which we estimate an H/R ratio between 0.15 and 0.25.
Hilbert, Detlefsen and a Fregean response
Creators: name: Vogt, Rudy H.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This thesis examines Frege's objections to Hilbert's program. It argues that Frege's concerns can best be understood as questioning Hilbert's implicit importing of content into ideal mathematics. A contemporary defense of Hilbert, Michael Detlefsen's Hilbert's Program, is taken as representative of an anti-Fregean view. Detlefsen, following Hilbert, develops the finitary/ideal distinction in mathematics. Finitary mathematics, unlike ideal mathematics, is claimed to involve genuine propositions. Frege's objections are thus primarily directed against ideal mathematics. More accurately, Frege's objections are seen as demonstrating the need for explicitly identifying the background language in which Hilbert's program, and thus model theory, are carried out.

In this article we present a systematic analysis under which conditions and how deformed relativistic kinematics, encoded in a momentum space metric on flat spacetime, can be lifted to curved spacetimes in terms of a self-consistent cotangent bundle geometry, which leads to purely geometric, geodesic motion of freely falling point particles. We comment how this construction is connected to, and offers a new perspective on, non-commutative spacetimes. From geometric consistency conditions we find that momentum space metrics can be consistently lifted to curved spacetimes if they either lead to a dispersion relation which is homogeneous in the momenta, or, if they satisfy a specific symmetry constraint. The latter is relevant for the momentum space metrics encoding the most studied deformed relativistic kinematics. For these, the constraint can only be satisfied in a momentum space basis in which the momentum space metric is invariant under linear local Lorentz transformations. We discuss how this result can be interpreted and the consequences of relaxing some conditions and principles of the construction from which we started.

description: Continued follow-up of WISEA J153429.75-104303.3, announced in Meisner et al (2020), has proven it to have an unusual set of properties. New imaging data from Keck/MOSFIRE and HST/WFC3 show that this object is one of the few faint proper motion sources known with J-ch2 > 8 mag, indicating a very cold temperature consistent with the latest known Y dwarfs. Despite this, it has W1-W2 and ch1-ch2 colors ~1.6 mag bluer than a typical Y dwarf. A new trigonometric parallax measurement from a combination of WISE, Spitzer, and HST astrometry confirms a nearby distance of $16.3^{+1.4}_{-1.2}$ pc and a large transverse velocity of $207.4{\pm}15.9$ km/s. The absolute J, W2, and ch2 magnitudes are in line with the coldest known Y dwarfs, despite the highly discrepant W1-W2 and ch1-ch2 colors. We explore possible reasons for the unique traits of this object and conclude that it is most likely an old, metal-poor brown dwarf and possibly the first Y subdwarf. Given that the object has an HST F110W magnitude of 24.7 mag, broad-band spectroscopy and photometry from JWST are the best options for testing this hypothesis.

description: The trend of space commercialization is changing the decision-making process for future space exploration architectures, and there is a growing need for a new decision-making framework that explicitly considers the interactions between the mission coordinator (i.e., government) and the commercial players. In response to this challenge, this paper develops a framework for space exploration and logistics decision making that considers the incentive mechanism to stimulate commercial participation in future space infrastructure development and deployment. By extending the state-of-the-art space logistics design formulations from the game-theoretic perspective, the relationship between the mission coordinator and commercial players is first analyzed, and then the formulation for the optimal architecture design and incentive mechanism in three different scenarios is derived. To demonstrate and evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, a case study on lunar habitat infrastructure design and deployment is conducted. Results show how total mission demands and in-situ resource utilization system performances after deployment may impact the cooperation among stakeholders. As an outcome of this study, an incentive-based decision-making framework that can benefit both the mission coordinator and the commercial players from commercialization is derived, leading to a mutually beneficial space exploration between the government and the industry.

description: This article examines how diseases on random networks spread in time. The disease is described by a probability distribution function for the number of infected and recovered individuals, and the probability distribution is described by a generating function. The time development of the disease is obtained by iterating the generating function. In cases where the disease can expand to an epidemic, the probability distribution function is the sum of two parts; one which is static at long times, and another whose mean grows exponentially. The time development of the mean number of infected individuals is obtained analytically. When epidemics occur, the probability distributions are very broad, and the uncertainty in the number of infected individuals at any given time is typically larger than the mean number of infected individuals.

description: The elastic property of quantum critical quasicrystal (QC) Yb$_{15}$Al$_{34}$Au$_{51}$ is analyzed theoretically on the basis of the approximant crystal (AC) Yb$_{14}$Al$_{35}$Au$_{51}$. By constructing the realistic effective model in the AC, we evaluate the 4f-5d Coulomb repulsion at Yb as $U_{fd}\approx 1.46$ eV realizing the quantum critical point (QCP) of the Yb-valence transition. The RPA analysis of the QCP shows that softening in elastic constants occurs remarkably for bulk modulus and longitudinal mode at low temperatures. Possible relevance of these results to the QC as well as the pressure-tuned AC is discussed.

description: It is well known that the adjacency algebra of an association scheme has the standard character. In this paper we first define the concept of standard character for C-algebras and we say that a C-algebra has the {\it standard character condition} if it has the standard character. Then we investigate some properties of C-algebras which have the standard character condition and prove that under some conditions a C-algebra has an adjacency algebra homomorphic image. In particular, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for which a commutative table algebra comes from an association scheme.
Extending Johnson's and Morita's homomorphisms to the mapping class group

description: We extend certain homomorphisms defined on the higher Torelli subgroups of the mapping class group to crossed homomorphisms defined on the entire mapping class group. In particular, for every $k\geq 2$, we construct a crossed homomorphism $ε_k$ which extends Morita's homomorphism $\tilde τ_k$ to the entire mapping class group. From this crossed homomorphism we also obtain a crossed homomorphism extending the $k$th Johnson homomorphism $τ_k$ to the mapping class group. D. Johnson and S. Morita obtained their respective homomorphisms by considering the action of the mapping class group on the nilpotent truncations of the surface group; our approach is to mimic Morita's construction topologically by using nilmanifolds associated to these truncations. This allows us to take the ranges of these crossed homomorphisms to be certain finite-dimensional real vector spaces associated to these nilmanifolds.

Rotation of the convective core in $γ$ Dor stars measured by dips in period spacings of g modes coupled with inertial modes

description: The relation of period spacing ($ΔP$) versus period ($P$) of dipole prograde g modes is known to be useful to measure rotation rates in the g-mode cavity of rapidly rotating $γ$ Dor and slowly pulsating B (SPB) stars. In a rapidly rotating star, an inertial mode in the convective core can resonantly couple with g modes propagative in the surrounding radiative region. The resonant coupling causes a dip in the $P$-$ΔP$ relation, distinct from the modulations due to the chemical composition gradient. Such a resonance dip in $ΔP$ of prograde dipole g modes appears around a frequency corresponding to a spin parameter $2f_{\rm rot}{\rm(cc)}/ν_{\rm co-rot} \sim 8-11$ with $f_{\rm rot}$(cc) being the rotation frequency of the convective core and $ν_{\rm co-rot}$ the pulsation frequency in the co-rotating frame. The spin parameter at the resonance depends somewhat on the extent of core overshooting, central hydrogen abundance, and other stellar parameters. We can fit the period at the observed dip with the prediction from prograde dipole g modes of a main-sequence model, allowing the convective core to rotate differentially from the surrounding g-mode cavity. We have performed such fittings for 16 selected $γ$ Dor stars having well defined dips, and found that the majority of $γ$ Dor stars we studied rotate nearly uniformly, while convective cores tend to rotate slightly faster than the g-mode cavity in less evolved stars.

description: This paper develops a hierarchical reinforcement learning architecture for multimission spaceflight campaign design under uncertainty, including vehicle design, infrastructure deployment planning, and space transportation scheduling. This problem involves a high-dimensional design space and is challenging especially with uncertainty present. To tackle this challenge, the developed framework has a hierarchical structure with reinforcement learning and network-based mixed-integer linear programming (MILP), where the former optimizes campaign-level decisions (e.g., design of the vehicle used throughout the campaign, destination demand assigned to each mission in the campaign), whereas the latter optimizes the detailed mission-level decisions (e.g., when to launch what from where to where). The framework is applied to a set of human lunar exploration campaign scenarios with uncertain in situ resource utilization performance as a case study. The main value of this work is its integration of the rapidly growing reinforcement learning research and the existing MILP-based space logistics methods through a hierarchical framework to handle the otherwise intractable complexity of space mission design under uncertainty. This unique framework is expected to be a critical steppingstone for the emerging research direction of artificial intelligence for space mission design.
