description: A new near-to-far-field transformation algorithm for three-dimensional finite-different time-domain is presented in this article. This new approach is based directly on the polarization current of the scatterer, not the scattered near fields. It therefore eliminates the numerical errors originating from the spatial offset of the E and H fields, inherent in the standard near-to-far-field transformation. The proposed method is validated via direct comparisons with the analytical Lorentz-Mie solutions of plane waves scattered by large dielectric and metallic spheres with strong forward-scattering lobes.

A Constraint on brown dwarf formation via ejection: radial variation of the stellar and substellar mass function of the young open cluster IC2391

description: We present the stellar and substellar mass function of the open cluster IC2391, plus its radial dependence, and use this to put constraints on the formation mechanism of brown dwarfs. Our multiband optical and infrared photometric survey with spectroscopic follow-up covers 11 square degrees, making it the largest survey of this cluster to date. We observe a radial variation in the mass function over the range 0.072 to 0.3Msol, but no significant variation in the mass function below the substellar boundary at the three cluster radius intervals analyzed. This lack of radial variation for low masses is what we would expect with the ejection scenario for brown dwarf formation, although considering that IC2391 has an age about three times older than its crossing time, we expect that brown dwarfs with a velocity greater than the escape velocity have already escaped the cluster. Alternatively, the variation in the mass function of the stellar objects could be an indication that they have undergone mass segregation via dynamical evolution. We also observe a significant variation across the cluster in the colour of the (background) field star locus in colour-magnitude diagrams and conclude that this is due to variable background extinction in the Galactic plane. From our preliminary spectroscopic follow-up to confirm brown dwarf status and cluster membership, we find that all candidates are M dwarfs (in either the field or the cluster), demonstrating the efficiency of our photometric selection method in avoiding contaminants (e.g. red giants). About half of our photometric candidates for which we have spectra are spectroscopically-confirmed as cluster members; two are new spectroscopically-confirmed brown dwarf members of IC2391.

description: The Tajmar effect is an unexplained acceleration observed by accelerometers and laser gyroscopes close to rotating supercooled rings. The observed ratio between the gyroscope and ring accelerations was 3+/-1.2x10^-8. Here, a new model for inertia which has been tested quite successfully on the Pioneer and flyby anomalies is applied to this problem. The model assumes that the inertia of the gyroscope is caused by Unruh radiation that appears as the ring and the fixed stars accelerate relative to it, and that this radiation is subject to a Hubble-scale Casimir effect. The model predicts that the sudden acceleration of the nearby ring causes a slight increase in the inertial mass of the gyroscope, and, to conserve momentum in the reference frame of the spinning Earth, the gyroscope rotates clockwise with an acceleration ratio of 1.8+/-0.25x10^-8 in agreement with the observed ratio. However, this model does not explain the parity violation seen in some of the gyroscope data. To test these ideas the Tajmar experiment (setup B) could be exactly reproduced in the southern hemisphere, since the model predicts that the anomalous acceleration should then be anticlockwise.

We make the Ansatz that the scalar fields of this model represent spin zero diquarks and we estimate the minimum allowed mass for the first radial excitation of the lowest diquark-antidiquark scalar meson. The discussion is extended to the case of spin one diquarks.

description: Models of disk galaxy formation commonly predict the existence of an extended reservoir of accreted hot gas surrounding massive spirals at low redshift. As a test of these models, we use X-ray and H-alpha data of the two massive, quiescent edge-on spirals NGC 5746 and NGC 5170 to investigate the amount and origin of any hot gas in their halos. Contrary to our earlier claim, the Chandra analysis of NGC 5746, employing more recent calibration data, does not reveal any significant evidence for diffuse X-ray emission outside the optical disk, with a 3-sigma upper limit to the halo X-ray luminosity of 4e39 erg/s. An identical study of the less massive NGC 5170 also fails to detect any extraplanar X-ray emission. By extracting hot halo properties of disk galaxies formed in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, we compare these results to expectations for cosmological accretion of hot gas by spirals. For Milky Way-sized galaxies, these high-resolution simulations predict hot halo X-ray luminosities which are lower by a factor of ~2 compared to our earlier results reported by Toft et al. (2002). We find the new simulation predictions to be consistent with our observational constraints for both NGC 5746 and NGC 5170, while also confirming that the hot gas detected so far around more actively star-forming spirals is in general probably associated with stellar activity in the disk. Observational results on quiescent disk galaxies at the high-mass end are nevertheless providing powerful constraints on theoretical predictions, and hence on the assumed input physics in numerical studies of disk galaxy formation and evolution.

description: We have theoretically studied propagation of exciton-polaritons in deterministic aperiodic multiple-quantum-well structures, particularly, in the Fibonacci and Thue-Morse chains. The attention is concentrated on the structures tuned to the resonant Bragg condition with two-dimensional quantum-well exciton. The superradiant or photonic-quasicrystal regimes are realized in these structures depending on the number of the wells. The developed theory based on the two-wave approximation allows one to describe analytically the exact transfer-matrix computations for transmittance and reflectance spectra in the whole frequency range except for a narrow region near the exciton resonance. In this region the optical spectra and the exciton-polariton dispersion demonstrate scaling invariance and self-similarity which can be interpreted in terms of the ``band-edge'' cycle of the trace map, in the case of Fibonacci structures, and in terms of zero reflection frequencies, in the case of Thue-Morse structures.

description: Whilst some studies explored the effect of food manufacturing foreign direct investment (FMFDI) on microeconomic and macroeconomic indicators, the human development effect, which is the ultimate for economic management, remains unexplored. This study does that with a focus on developing and developed countries. An unbalanced panel data of 44 (18 developing and 26 developed) countries from 1991 to 2018 with a fixed-effects and general method of moments estimators were employed. Developing countries' FMFDI positively influenced the human development of the total economy. Also, developed countries' FMFDI positively influenced the human development of the total economy. Developing country economic managers should improve the macroeconomic environment to promote foreign direct investment into the food manufacturing subsector. There is a need for a reallocation of FMFDI to developing countries. International bodies such as the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development would be useful in this direction.
Discrete chain graph models

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The statistical literature discusses different types of Markov properties for chain graphs that lead to four possible classes of chain graph Markov models. The different models are rather well understood when the observations are continuous and multivariate normal, and it is also known that one model class, referred to as models of LWF (Lauritzen--Wermuth--Frydenberg) or block concentration type, yields discrete models for categorical data that are smooth. This paper considers the structural properties of the discrete models based on the three alternative Markov properties. It is shown by example that two of the alternative Markov properties can lead to non-smooth models. The remaining model class, which can be viewed as a discrete version of multivariate regressions, is proven to comprise only smooth models. The proof employs a simple change of coordinates that also reveals that the model's likelihood function is unimodal if the chain components of the graph are complete sets.

description: Background: Racism has long been recognised as a key social determinant of health. An evolving concern in research and policy-making has been the impact of racism in the healthcare system, focusing on the quality of healthcare, how racialised individuals access and use health services, and their experiences with healthcare delivery. Existing scoping reviews and meta-analyses have examined the nature and scope of racism in healthcare; however, the majority of existing research has examined out-patient services, was conducted in the USA, and has not taken intersections, for example of racism and sexism, into consideration. The latter is crucial as such intersections can produce unique experiences and health inequities.

Objective: The aim of this scoping review is to map the evidence on racial discrimination by people receiving treatment in in-patient services (hospitals and rehabilitation facilities) in high-income countries, defined as having a gross national income per capita of $12,736 or more according to the World Bank Atlas method. It will focus specifically on whether intersectional axes of discrimination have been taken into account when assessing this evidence.

Methods: This scoping review is guided by the methodological framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley. First, online databases including Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, Livivo, PsycInfo and Web of Science, using English search terms. In addition, a manual search of grey literature using Google and Google Scholar and of the reference lists of selected articles will be conducted to identify additional studies. Studies published between 2013 and 2023 that report on racism in in-patient settings in high-income countries will be included. Two reviewers will screen all abstracts and full texts independently and extract relevant information, including study characteristics and relevant findings. The software Rayyan, developed for review processes by supporting the collective screening process, will be used. Results will be synthesized numerically and narratively.

Discussion: This review will provide significant insights into the specific experiences of racism in in-patient healthcare settings which may substantially differ from those in out-patient settings due to patients’ spatial confinement and differing disease profiles. This is crucial to build a more comprehensive and complex assessment of racial discrimination in healthcare.
Integration over connections in the discretized gravitational functional integrals

description: The result of performing integrations over connection type variables in the path integral for the discrete field theory may be poorly defined in the case of non-compact gauge group with the Haar measure exponentially growing in some directions. This point is studied in the case of the discrete form of the first order formulation of the Einstein gravity theory. Here the result of interest can be defined as generalized function (of the rest of variables of the type of tetrad or elementary areas) i. e. a functional on a set of probe functions. To define this functional, we calculate its values on the products of components of the area tensors, the so-called moments. The resulting distribution (in fact, probability distribution) has singular ($δ$-function-like) part with support in the nonphysical region of the complex plane of area tensors and regular part (usual function) which decays exponentially at large areas. As we discuss, this also provides suppression of large edge lengths which is important for internal consistency, if one asks whether gravity on short distances can be discrete. Some another features of the obtained probability distribution including occurrence of the local maxima at a number of the approximately equidistant values of area are also considered.

description: A concise derivation of a new multiplicative product of Schwartz distributions is presented. The new product $\star$ is defined in the vector space ${\cal A}$ of piecewise smooth functions on $\bkR$ and all their (distributional) derivatives; it is associative, satisfies the Leibnitz rule and reproduces the usual product of functions for regular distributions. The algebra $({\cal A},+,\star)$ yields a sufficiently general setting to address some interesting problems. As an application we consider the problem of deriving a global formulation for quantum confined systems.

description: Il volume raccoglie i contributi del convegno tenutosi presso la Sapienza Università di Roma nel novembre 2021: una riflessione sugli studi di genere in Italia, con il contributo di numerose colleghe. Occasione del Convegno erano i vent’anni di “Sguardi sulle differenze Laboratorio di Studi femministi Anna Rita Simeone”, attivo dal 2000 alla Sapienza come luogo di riflessione e rielaborazione critica del pensiero delle donne.
Il discorso si è articolato intorno a tre concetti: le memorie connettono il presente alle esperienze, le pratiche e il patrimonio di sapere e pensiero prodotto dalle donne nel passato; le bussole, indicano una direzione, il desiderio di muoversi verso una meta, le pratiche, i principi, le forme di esplorazione del presente dalle radici della memoria, verso i cambiamenti (il terzo concetto fondamentale), che auspichiamo e agiamo: di noi stesse, delle relazioni e dei luoghi in cui abitiamo e lavoriamo, dello spazio pubblico.
La quarta sezione raccoglie le riflessioni nate nel Convegno e rappresenta il metodo del Laboratorio Sguardi sulle differenze nel corso della sua attività: individuare ed esaminare temi a partire da sé, dalle letture e dal confronto intergenerazionale; corpo, resilienza, resistenza, riconoscimento, trasmissione, bellezza, nomadismo sono le parole-guida degli ultimi saggi del volume.

The quest for new enzymes involved in the biosynthetic pathway of the anticancer drug camptothecin from Camptotheca acuminata
Creators: name: Chubatsu Nunes, Helena Hitomi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Camptothecin (CPT) is a monoterpene indole alkaloid extracted from the native Chinese tree Camptotheca acuminata, commonly known as Happy Tree. Since its discovery in 1958, CPT has been derivatized to produce the widely used DNA topoisomerase I inhibitors and anticancer drugs Topotecan and Irinotecan. The low natural abundance of camptothecin and complex chemical structure challenge synthetic routes and hinder green production strategies that attempt to obtain this essential pharmaceutical. Therefore, the elucidation of its biosynthetic pathway will pave the way for sustainable alternatives to access CPT’s medical properties. This thesis focused on the investigation of two biosynthetic steps: the formation of CPT’s main intermediate, strictosidinic acid, as well as the enzymatic rearrangement of the indole moiety in the intermediate strictosamide. Strictosidine synthases from C. acuminata were able to condense secologanin and tryptamine to form the ester-based compound strictosidine, challenging the putative CPT pathway currently based on carboxylic acid intermediates. Furthermore, C. acuminata dioxygenase was identified as able to convert strictosamide into putative oxidized forms. Overall, this thesis is a step forward in the understanding of CPT biosynthesis and sets the stage for future gene discovery opportunities to promote a more sustainable and economic production of CPT and clinically-relevant derivatives.

description: In recent years advancements in nanotechnology have given rise to nano ophthalmology - a specialized field exhibiting considerable potential for treating diseases like dacryocystitis that cause inflammation or infection in the lacrimal sac. By delivering drugs directly to affected sites and enhancing antibiotic effectiveness through superior penetration capabilities this approach stands on track towards revolutionizing ocular disease treatment altogether. The significance of nano ophthalmologys impact cannot be overstated when considering its transformative potential towards managing conditions like dacryocystitis effectively.
Black hole mergers: can gas discs solve the `final parsec' problem?

description: We compute the effect of an orbiting gas disc in promoting the coalescence of a central supermassive black hole binary. Unlike earlier studies, we consider a finite mass of gas with explicit time dependence: we do not assume that the gas necessarily adopts a steady state or a spatially constant accretion rate, i.e. that the merging black hole was somehow inserted into a pre--existing accretion disc. We consider the tidal torque of the binary on the disc, and the binary's gravitational radiation. We study the effects of star formation in the gas disc in a simple energy feedback framework. The disc spectrum differs in detail from that found before. In particular, tidal torques from the secondary black hole heat the edges of the gap, creating bright rims around the secondary. These rims do not in practice have uniform brightness either in azimuth or time, but can on average account for as much as 50 per cent of the integrated light from the disc. This may lead to detectable high--photon--energy variability on the relatively long orbital timescale of the secondary black hole, and thus offer a prospective signature of a coalescing black hole binary. We also find that the disc can drive the binary to merger on a reasonable timescale only if its mass is at least comparable with that of the secondary black hole, and if the initial binary separation is relatively small, i.e. $a_0 \lesssim 0.05$ pc. Star formation complicates the merger further by removing mass from the disc. In the feedback model we consider, this sets an effective limit to the disc mass. As a result, binary merging is unlikely unless the black hole mass ratio is $\la 0.001$. Gas discs thus appear not to be an effective solution to the `last parsec' problem for a significant class of mergers.

description: The profitability and risk of onion cultivation in Costa Rica in a conventional production system and an alternative system with drip irrigation and mulch were compared. Production costs for both systems and real agricultural prices were estimated, which were important factors in the simulation of profitability scenarios. The results suggest that profitability improves in the alternative production system and risk decreases significantly, which allows mitigating the adverse conditions that the farmer usually faces. Despite the alternative production, onion growers are still exposed to high market risk due to price volatility.

description: The relations between smooth and peaked soliton solutions are reviewed for the Camassa-Holm (CH) shallow water wave equation in one spatial dimension. The canonical Hamiltonian formulation of the CH equation in action-angle variables is expressed for solitons by using the scattering data for its associated isospectral eigenvalue problem, rephrased as a Riemann-Hilbert problem. The momentum map from the action-angle scattering variables $T^*({\mathbb{T}^N})$ to the flow momentum ($\mathfrak{X}^*$) provides the Eulerian representation of the $N$-soliton solution of CH in terms of the scattering data and squared eigenfunctions of its isospectral eigenvalue problem. The dispersionless limit of the CH equation and its resulting peakon solutions are examined by using an asymptotic expansion in the dispersion parameter. The peakon solutions of the dispersionless CH equation in one dimension are shown to generalize in higher dimensions to peakon wave-front solutions of the EPDiff equation whose associated momentum is supported on smoothly embedded subspaces. The Eulerian representations of the singular solutions of both CH and EPDiff are given by the (cotangent-lift) momentum maps arising from the left action of the diffeomorphisms on smoothly embedded subspaces.

Cognitive and affective dimensions of inattention
Creators: name: Yip, Jennifer Mikaela Yan Wa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Researchers have delved into mind-wandering (MW) in the last decade to shed light on its significance in understanding and treating human psychopathology. MW offers a unique avenue to examine the cognitive dynamics crucial to the inception and progression of thoughts. This dissertation investigates how attentional states interact with processing affect and incidental emotional information. Chapter 1 reviews the literature to uncover how MW research in ADHD and depression can contribute to a broader understanding of MW mechanisms. This exploration revealed implications such as the role of executive control processes, distinguishing intentional from unintentional MW, and different frameworks to interpret MW. The mechanism-based term Perceptually Decoupled Cognitions (PDCs) is introduced to consolidate various MW-related phenomena. Chapter 2 showed that inattentional PDCs may be distinguished into MW, repetitive negative thinking (RNT), and introspective thinking. Notably, the link between MW and negative mood is at least partially explained by RNT. Chapter 3 delved into in-the-moment task inattention and its immediate impact on emotional processing. Additionally, it explored how everyday tendencies toward PDCs influence task inattention and the processing of incidental emotional stimuli. The results showed that a selective sensitivity to angry faces and its corresponding conservative response bias persists despite being in off-task states. In the concluding chapter, the implications of the above findings are discussed through a novel theoretical model grounded in affect regulation and metacognitive control. This model posits that unintentional PDCs are driven by a fundamental affective system that guides environmental navigation but may not always be adaptive. Meanwhile, intentional PDCs are influenced by a higher-level metacognitive system aligned with personal goals and values. This research provides insights into the intricate interactions among cognition, affect, and attentional states, illuminating the complex dynamics of the human mind in diverse contexts.

title: Populism, law and the courts: space and time in an age of "constitutional impatience"
Creators: name: Girard, Raphaël
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2025

description: This thesis is an enquiry into the character and discourse of contemporary populism, the content of the populist constitutional project, as well as the institutional reaction or response, by judicial actors, to this very project – including the view that courts can act as democracy-enhancing institutional decelerators. In doing so, it uses a rarely-employed lens, that of spatiotemporality – namely, the conjunction of space and time. Its main contributions are twofold. First, the thesis contributes to the development of a theoretical framework that helps re-conceptualize contemporary populism as a serious and relatively coherent constitutional theory, and more specifically through the prism of spatiotemporality. Through its promise to re-establish a new form of democratic representation based on spatial proximity, authenticity and temporal efficiency, contemporary populism attempts, this thesis argues, to reorganize and redraw the spatiotemporal contours of liberal democracy. Second, this thesis brings nuance to the common view in the liberal-constitutionalist academic literature according to which courts have a key role to play in defending constitutionalism and constitutional liberal democracy, particularly against populist actors and their distrust of intermediaries and institutions. Through a contextual analysis of three case studies, the thesis suggests a differential impact of the tensions between populism and constitutionalism. The first case study, on Armenia in the aftermath of the 2018 “Velvet Revolution,” indicates a possible positive relationship between the two. The second, which focuses on Ecuador during the presidency of Rafael Correa (2007–2017), points to a more negative relationship. Finally, the third case study, on the United Kingdom (UK) in the period that followed the 2016 UK European Union membership (“Brexit”) referendum, suggests a rather mixed relationship between populism and constitutionalism. In specific institutional terms – and in relation to the judiciary, in particular – the three case studies highlight the various responses that courts have had to populism. More specifically, the thesis shows that courts, in the right circumstances, can indeed stabilize the system of constitutional governance against populist constitutional impatience and its spatiotemporal focus on proximity and speed. However, it also shows that, in other contexts, the judiciary can obstruct democratic reforms (rather than stabilize the system of constitutional governance), particularly in the context of a transition from an entrenched semi-authoritarian (or hybrid) regime to a constitutional liberal democracy; or even accelerate the populist flow of time by becoming active agents of illiberalism and (or) executive consolidation at the service of an impatient and increasingly authoritarian government.
Dynamics for partially coherent Bose-Einstein condensates in double wells

description: The dynamical properties of partially coherent Bose-Einstein condensates in double wells are investigated in three typical regimes. In the extreme Fock regime, the time evolution of the degree of coherence is shown to decay rapidly. In the Rabi regime, a relation between the amplitude of Rabi oscillation and the degree of coherence is obtained, which is expected to determine the degree of coherence by measuring the amplitude of Rabi oscillation. The study on the self-trapping phenomena in the Josephson regime exhibits that both the degree of coherence and the initial relative phase can affect the final particle distribution.

The LHC Discovery Potential of a Leptophilic Higgs

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this work, we examine a two-Higgs-doublet extension of the Standard Model in which one Higgs doublet is responsible for giving mass to both up- and down-type quarks, while a separate doublet is responsible for giving mass to leptons. We examine both the theoretical and experimental constraints on the model and show that large regions of parameter space are allowed by these constraints in which the effective couplings between the lightest neutral Higgs scalar and the Standard-Model leptons are substantially enhanced. We investigate the collider phenomenology of such a "leptophilic" two-Higgs-doublet model and show that in cases where the low-energy spectrum contains only one light, CP-even scalar, a variety of collider processes essentially irrelevant for the discovery of a Standard Model Higgs boson (specifically those in which the Higgs boson decays directly into a charged-lepton pair) can contribute significantly to the discovery potential of a light-to-intermediate-mass (m_h < 140 GeV) Higgs boson at the LHC.

subject: Oganometallic compounds Optical properties

description: The aims of this work were to highlight changing trend in the nonlinear optical (NLO) behaviour of ruthenium alkynyl complexes on structure modification. Chapter 1 discusses the theoretical background of NLO properties. This is followed by a brief review on the research that has been conducted in the field of organometallic NLO materials. Chapter 2 is concerned with the synthesis of a series of ruthenium bis-alkynyl complexes varying in ligand composition by chain lengthening and/or changing the arylalkynyl para-substituted functional groups, together with their cyclic voltammetric data and linear optical data. Chapter 3 discusses the strategies for synthesizing wedges with ABC composition and their use in the syntheses of dendrimers with C{u2083}h -symmetry. A series of alkynylruthenium dendrimers with different peripheral groups was made. The electrochemical properties of these dendrimers were assessed, and the linear optical and cubic nonlinear optical properties were studied. Chapter 4 examines the effect of the number of ruthenium centers on dendrimer NLO behaviour. Mono-ruthenium, bi-ruthenium and tri-ruthenium dendrons were synthesized and their linear optical properties studied. Chapter 5 focuses on the electronic communication between ruthenium centers in multi-ruthenium alkynyl complexes. A series of linear and branched ruthenium alkynyl complexes was made. Electrochemical and linear optical properties were examined.
