description: We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions to the initial-boundary value problem for the Lifshitz--Slyozov equation (a nonlinear transport equation on the half-line), focusing on the case of kinetic rates with unbounded derivative at the origin. Our theory covers in particular those cases with rates behaving as power laws at the origin, for which an inflow behavior is expected and a boundary condition describing nucleation phenomena needs to be imposed. The method we introduce here to prove existence is based on a formulation in terms of characteristics, with a careful analysis on the behavior near the singular boundary. As a byproduct we provide a general theory for linear continuity equations on a half-line with transport fields that degenerate at the boundary. We also address both the maximality and the uniqueness of inflow solutions to the Lifshitz--Slyozov model, exploiting monotonicity properties of the associated transport equation.

title: The Effects of Visual Media on Participants' Boundary Expectations
Creators: name: Brock, Joy P.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University
publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04zjtrb98
publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to examine participants' expectations of psychotherapeutic boundaries and the influence of the media in the creation of these expectations. Four hundred forty seven Old Dominion undergraduates completed an online survey consisting of five separate scales: Exposure to Cinetherapy Scale, Exposure to Cinematic Boundary Infringements Scale, Boundary Expectation Scale, Past Therapy Experiences Scale, and Demographic Questionnaire. Bivariate correlations were calculated and exposure to cinetherapy was found to be significantly, positively related to participants' perceptions of the frequency of various boundary infringements. A principle components analysis was also computed to examine the underlying structure of participant responses. Four factors were found and used to create subscales representing out-of-office social, exploitative, emotional and in-office social relationship infringements. Exposure to cinetherapy was compared to the subscale scores for participants perceptions of the frequency, appropriateness, and harmfulness of each factor, revealing positive relationships between exploitative relationship infringements and perceptions of harm, and in-office social and emotional relationship infringements and perceptions of frequency and appropriateness. Only perceptions of the frequency and appropriateness of emotional relationship infringements were significantly positively correlated with the measure of exposure to cinematic boundary infringements. Future research could entail using the subscales to further examine the relationship between emotional boundary infringements and participants perceptions of therapy and media exposure and less-known boundary infringements.

The algorithm used is Hybrid Monte Carlo with two pseudo-fermion fields as proposed by M. Hasenbusch. A gain in CPU cost of a factor two is reached when compared to one pseudo-fermion field due to the larger possible step-size. This study is integrated in the ALPHA project for the computation of the running of the renormalized quark mass. We include an update on these physics results.

The targum (1958:Mar. 3 - 1958:Mar. 28)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1958

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
The asymmetric coalescence of two droplets with different surface tensions is caused by capillary waves

description: When two droplets with different surface tensions collide, the shape evolution of the merging droplets is asymmetric. Using experimental and numerical techniques, we reveal that this asymmetry is caused by asymmetric capillary waves, which are the result of the different surface tensions of the droplets. We show that the asymmetry is enhanced by increasing the surface tension difference, and suppressed by increasing the inertia of the colliding droplets. Furthermore, we study capillary waves in the limit of no inertia. We reveal that the asymmetry is not directly caused by Marangoni forces. In fact, somehow counterintuitive, asymmetry is strongly reduced by the Marangoni effect. Rather, the different intrinsic capillary wave amplitudes and velocities associated with the different surface tensions of the droplets lie at the origin of the asymmetry during droplet coalescence.

description: Accurate prediction of drug-target interactions (DTI) is crucial for drug discovery. Recently, deep learning (DL) models for show promising performance for DTI prediction. However, these models can be difficult to use for both computer scientists entering the biomedical field and bioinformaticians with limited DL experience. We present DeepPurpose, a comprehensive and easy-to-use deep learning library for DTI prediction. DeepPurpose supports training of customized DTI prediction models by implementing 15 compound and protein encoders and over 50 neural architectures, along with providing many other useful features. We demonstrate state-of-the-art performance of DeepPurpose on several benchmark datasets.

description: Beaconing is a fundamental networking service where each node transmits a packet to all its neighbors locally. The problem Minimum Latency Beaconing Schedule (MLBS) seeks a shortest schedule for beaconing subject to the interference constraint. However, it is lags behind when studying for timely delivery of real-time status updates. Age-of-Information (AoI) is a recently proposed metric that measures the freshness of information at a destination receiving data from an information source. In this thesis, we explore applications of AoI to vehicular networks. More specifically, we look at two problems - 1) Age optimal information collection and dissemination from a mix of highly mobile and non-mobile entities in the network, using a stationary road-side unit, and 2) Age-based policy schemes for a group of mobile entities which need to continuously exchange information while moving around independently. We consider a large scale Internet-of-Vehicles network with multiple physical entities and their beacon transmission. We first study the problem of timely scheduling beacon transmis- sions from the various entities in the Internet of Vehicles to the Road Side Unit with freshness requirements. We aim to minimize direct access to the physical entities, yet improving Age of Information as a data freshness metric. We propose Age-of-Information-aware scheduling policies for the road side unit to process incoming broadcast beacons from the entities in the networking space, and another policy for mobile entities transmitting beacons directly to each other. With such policies, application re- quests are grouped based on mobility and freshness thresholds, thereby reducing the number of requests and threshold misses, and accounts for delay variation. The behavior of the policies are studied over ideal and more realistic communication links with delay variation. We then numerically evaluate the proposed policies.
On the deconstruction of christianity : techne and touching - abandoned bodies in the philosophy of jean-luc nancy
Creators: name: Karolis, Alexander
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2015

description: The question posed by this dissertation is what role, if any, does religion continue to play in understanding the material world? The direction taken by human thought in the Western world since the enlightenment has shaped, and continues to shape, a multifarious habitat of interconnected materiality. There are two intertwined and seemingly competing aspects to this, the secular and the religious. As the capacity of religious political power to direct thought declined, and the counter-balance of secularism increased, human endeavor directed its energy toward the path of "reasoned" thinking. This had, roughly speaking, two consequences: an ever intensifying influence of technology in shaping the "world", and the envelopment of economies of exchange over the globe. What relation is there between, on the one hand, the spread of economic-rationalism and technology, and on the other hand, the continued pervasive influence of religion in the world? I approach these questions through the work of Jean-Luc Nancy in his project, the deconstruction of Christianity. In so doing, I engage Nancy's project through the ontological question of the meaning of being, and draw out the intersection that Nancy's ruminations on Christianity have with the broader ethical, ontological and political, aspects of his thought. Six themes form the basis of the chapters: the secular, globalization, community, abandonment, the body, and touch. Nancy's thought reveals a continuous interplay and synergy between secularization, the impact of secularization in technology and economic rationalization, and the "decline" of Christianity. In following Nancy's thought, I consider how his philosophy intersects with a number of key influences, and I draw heavily on aspects of the work of Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Derrida. I also discuss the interplay between Nancy's thought and interlocutors, obvious and otherwise, such as Charles Taylor and Catherine Malabou. What I demonstrate in this dissertation is the ever-present role Christianity plays in shaping the world; and, by citing the deconstruction of Christianity as an intrinsic facet of his broader ontological project, I claim that Nancy provides a novel and convincing understanding of existence that draws upon how being shares the world with others.

description: We investigate the algebraic properties of the quantum counterpart of the classical canonical transformations using the symbol-calculus approach to quantum mechanics. In this framework we construct a set of pseudo-differential operators which act on the symbols of operators, i.e., on functions defined over phase-space. They act as operatorial left- and right- multiplication and form a $W_{\infty}\times W_{\infty}$- algebra which contracts to its diagonal subalgebra in the classical limit. We also describe the Gel'fand-Naimark-Segal (GNS) construction in this language and show that the GNS representation-space (a doubled Hilbert space) is closely related to the algebra of functions over phase-space equipped with the star-product of the symbol-calculus.

description: Despite significant recent progress, machine vision systems lag considerably behind their biological counterparts in performance, scalability, and robustness. A distinctive hallmark of the brain is its ability to automatically discover and model objects, at multiscale resolutions, from repeated exposures to unlabeled contextual data and then to be able to robustly detect the learned objects under various nonideal circumstances, such as partial occlusion and different view angles. Replication of such capabilities in a machine would require three key ingredients: (i) access to large-scale perceptual data of the kind that humans experience, (ii) flexible representations of objects, and (iii) an efficient unsupervised learning algorithm. The Internet fortunately provides unprecedented access to vast amounts of visual data. This paper leverages the availability of such data to develop a scalable framework for unsupervised learning of object prototypes--brain-inspired flexible, scale, and shift invariant representations of deformable objects (e.g., humans, motorcycles, cars, airplanes) comprised of parts, their different configurations and views, and their spatial relationships. Computationally, the object prototypes are represented as geometric associative networks using probabilistic constructs such as Markov random fields. We apply our framework to various datasets and show that our approach is computationally scalable and can construct accurate and operational part-aware object models much more efficiently than in much of the recent computer vision literature. We also present efficient algorithms for detection and localization in new scenes of objects and their partial views.

Discovery of variable circular polarization from the remnant of Nova Chamaeleontis 1953 (RR Cha)

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We report on the discovery of variable circular polarization from the remnant of Nova Chamaeleontis 1953 (RR Cha). The circular polarization appears to be modulated on the primary's spin period and harmonics of the positive superhump period, with an amplitude peak-to-peak of almost ~10 per cent with both negative and positive polarization. A recent study by Woudt & Warner of RR Cha shows it to have both positive and negative superhumps, indicating the presence of a precessing/tilted accretion disc. In addition, they also find a stable period at 1950 s, characteristic of an Intermediate Polar. RR Cha also shows deep eclipses with variable depth. We propose a possible explanation for the origin of the polarized emission. We assume that it is of cyclotron origin. The variations of the circular polarization with the proposed spin period are caused by the rotation of the compact object. The long period variability arise as a result of a precessing/tilted accretion disc, periodically obscuring either of two accretion regions on the surface of the white dwarf. We also point out several similarities of RR Cha with the SW Sex stars. The lack of a time resolved spectroscopic study prevents to make any conclusion regarding its possible SW Sex nature. Hence, such spectroscopic study is encouraged. RR Cha is the second old nova exhibiting variable circular polarization and we therefore encourage polarimetric observations of other nova remnants.

description: Geometrical optics limit of the Maxwell equations for nonlinear media with the Cole-Cole dependence of dielectric function and magnetic permeability on the frequency is considered. It is shown that for media with slow variation along one axis such a limit gives rise to the dispersionless Veselov-Novikov equation for the refractive index. It is demonstrated that the Veselov-Novikov hierarchy is amenable to the quasiclassical DBAR-dressing method. Under more specific requirements for the media, one gets the dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation. Geometrical optics interpretation of some solutions of the above equations is discussed.

For Generations to Come : a sustainable child-oriented suburban future
Creators: name: Theall, Kathryn
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Suburbia is a rich cultural landscape with woven fabrics of form and its own cultural identities distinct from metropolitan form necessitating distinct child-friendly sustainable urbanization. Suburbs in Canada are experiencing rapid growth, driven in large part by families with children and mandated by growth policies. In response the Ontario government has proposed a strategy of vertical growth through the construction of super tall towers around major transit stations, while largely maintaining existing residential neighborhoods. Although this approach may promote a more sustainable, transit-oriented lifestyle around transit stations, it fails to address the ongoing sustainability challenges of existing suburbs, which continue to produce higher emissions each year. Moreover, the environmental impact associated with constructing tall towers and the factors driving suburban settlement, particularly the needs of children, remain unaddressed. This project asserts that the future of sustainable suburban growth requires an understanding of suburbia’s cultural richness and a shared commitment to childhood values, manifested through a uniquely child-friendly design. This design should strategically adapt existing neighborhoods to cater to the needs of families, promoting sustainability and growth. The project report embarks on a comprehensive exploration of existing suburbs, delving into mini-essays on suburbia and society, suburbia and children, and suburbia and sustainability. It summarizes various suburban typologies, as developed by Dolores Hayden, before narrowing its focus to the Census Metropolitan Area of Toronto, pinpointing the South-East Oakville region as the project site. The design narrative unfolds as a storybook, recounting the rationale for returning to the suburbs and reflecting on past childhood experiences in suburban settings. These reflections inform the creation of a community-oriented mixed-use plan, centered around the well-being and development of children.

description: С наступлением экономической глобализации и информационной эры образовательная отрасль сейчас сталкивается с постоянно растущим давлением со стороны как местных, так и зарубежных конкурентов. Все больше и больше работодателей начинают понимать, что лояльность клиентов зависит от лояльности сотрудников. Целью данного исследования было изучить факторы, влияющие на лояльность сотрудников в сфере образования. Соответственно, руководители учреждений могли бы извлечь пользу из понимания тех факторов удержания, которые могут способствовать удержанию высоко уровня персонала. Следовательно, исследовательская проблема, которую пытались решить в этом исследовании, заключалась в том, чтобы понять факторы, которые могут помочь в удержании академического персонала в университете. Было проведено исследование для изучения важных факторов, влияющих на лояльность сотрудников к оплате труда и преимуществ, рабочей среде, организационной культуре и ценностям, стилю руководства, а также возможности обучения и развития карьеры. Исследование указывает на положительную корреляцию между лояльностью сотрудников и различными влияющими факторами. Исследование продемонстрировало, что руководству образовательных учреждений следует уделять больше внимания улучшению таких факторов, как организационная рабочая культура, возможности развития навыков, участие в принятии решений.

description: Фактор доверия играет значительную роль почти в любых видах взаимоотношений, так как он может оказывать заметное прямое или косвенное влияние на поведение участников взаимодействия. Как частный случай доверие в финансовом секторе особенно важно, так как его недостаток может накладывать серьёзные ограничения на потенциал развития сектора и экономики в целом, увеличивает транзакционные издержки от взаимодействия агентов и повышает общий уровень рисков. Следовательно, для того, чтобы агенты финансового сектора могли наиболее эффективным образом организовывать свою деятельность, в первую очередь необходимо определить понятие доверия в финансовом секторе, выделить основные факторы, которые оказывают на него влияние и отследить взаимосвязь между доверием и внутренними характеристиками основных агентов финансового сектора.

description: As part of a multi-wavelength campaign to observe the 2000--2002 outburst of the prototypical symbiotic star Z Andromedae, we observed this object six times each with the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) and Very Large Array (VLA). The radio flux varied significantly during the course of the optical outburst at all three observation frequencies (1.4, 5, and 15 GHz). A jet-like extension was present in the 2001 September MERLIN image and appeared to be aligned perpendicularly to the plane of the binary orbit. Assuming that the ejection took place at the beginning of the optical outburst, the 0.06 arcsec separation between the peak of the extended emission and the central core implies that the ejected material was moving with a velocity of \~400 km/s. This extended emission faded on a timescale of ~months and was not detected at any other epoch. We consider the implications of jets being a component of a ``prototypical'' symbiotic system and compare properties of the observed jet of Z And with those of the jets in X-ray binary systems.

Filling in the gaps: The nature of light transmission through solvent-filled inverse opal photonic crystals

description: Understanding the nature of light transmission and the photonic bandgap in inverse opal photonic crystals is essential for linking their optical characteristics to any application. This is especially important when these structures are examined in liquids or solvents. We examined TiO2 and SnO2 IOs in a range of common solvents to solve the conflict between Bragg-Snell theory, optical and physical measurements by a comprehensive angle-resolved light transmission study coupled to microscopy examination of the IO structure. Tuning the position of the photonic bandgap and index contrast by solvent infiltration of each inverse opal requires a modification to the Bragg-Snell theory and the photonic crystal unit cell definition. We also demonstrate experimentally and theroetically that low fill factors are caused by less desne material infilling all interstitial vancancies in the opal template to form an IO. By also including an optical interference condition for inverse opals with an effective refractive index greater than its substrate, and an alternative internal refraction angle in the substrate, angle-resolved transmission spectra for inverse opals are now consistent with physical measurements. This work now allows an accurate correlation between the true response of an IO to the index contrast with a solvent, how an IO is infilled, and the directionality and bandwidth of the photonic bandgap. As control in functional photonic materials becomes more prevalent outside of optics and photonics, such as biosensing and energy storage, for example, a comprehensive and consistent correlation between photonic crystals structures and their primary optical signatures is a fundamental requirement for application.

The effects of X-ray photoionization and heating on the structure of circumstellar discs

description: We present the results of a theoretical study investigating the effects of photoionization and heating by X-rays on discs around low-mass stars. In particular we address the question of whether or not X-rays can drive a disc wind. First, we construct a 1-dimensional ``quasi-hydrostatic'' model, which solves for the vertical structure introduced by X-ray heating. We consider uniform X-ray illumination of the disc, but the X-ray fluxes required to heat the disc significantly are much greater than those seen by recent observations. When the model is extended to consider heating from a central X-ray source we find that the 1-dimensional model is only valid very close to the star. We extend our analysis to consider a simple 2-dimensional model, treating the disc as a two-layered structure and solving for its density profile self-consistently. For T Tauri stars we are able to set a crude upper limit on the mass-loss rate that can be driven by X-ray photoevaporation, with a value of ~10^-13 g/cm^2/s. Our model is designed to maximise this value, and most likely over-estimates it significantly. However we still find a mass-loss rate which is less than that found in studies of ultraviolet photoevaporation. We conclude that in the presence of a significant UV field, X-ray driven disc winds are unlikely to play a significant role in the evolution of discs around low-mass stars.

Glasgow Entrepreneurs, 1861-1901

description:
Entrepreneurial micro-businesses once dominated the streetscapes of Britain's towns and cities and were considered central to their success. What businesses existed, where they were situated, and who ran them are key to understanding how and why particular cities 'work', and are an essential part of wider debates about the historical development and transformation of economies.

Knowing that entrepreneurship has always been a driver of employment, skills, and innovation, as well as providing an income to diverse, and often marginalized, groups in society (Audretsch et al. 2015; Barker, 2017; Bennet et al., 2018), the understanding of entrepreneurship however lacked a study of the dynamics of business formation in a nineteenth-century city.

This data collection originated in a research project entitled 'The entrepreneurs who made Glasgow: the city and its businesses 1861-1901'. It focussed on the space, place and people of Glasgow during a critical period of its expansion, when it became Scotland's principal city and Britain's second city. In the period 1861 to 1901, new professional and commercial activities transformed Glasgow, benefitting from its population’s diversity in gender, age and nationality.

The project’s objectives were:

1) Examine the distribution of business within Glasgow and establish the influence of gender, nationality and age of entrepreneurs on business form and location

2) Examine the relationship between property rents and values and entrepreneurial business location

3) Examine the influence of business type and transport infrastructure as drivers of the suburban (re)location of entrepreneurs

Large datasets of businesses and rents were cross-referenced to I-CeM census data and the British Business Census of Entrepreneurs (BBCE), providing fine-grained information on demographic characteristics of individual entrepreneurs and the nature of their businesses.

description: The dynamics of even topological open membranes relies on Nambu Brackets. Consequently, such 2p-branes can be quantized through the consistent quantization of the underlying Nambu dynamical structures. This is a summary construction relying on the methods detailed in refs hep-th/0205063 and hep-th/0212267.
