description: We perform high-resolution photocurrent (PC) spectroscopy to investigate resonantly the neutral exciton ground-state (X0) in a single InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dot (QD) embedded in the intrinsic region of an n-i-Schottky photodiode based on a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), which was formed from a Si delta-doped GaAs layer. Using such a device, a single-QD PC spectrum of X0 is measured by sweeping the bias-dependent X0 transition energy through that of a fixed narrow-bandwidth laser via the quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE). By repeating such a measurement for a series of laser energies, a precise relationship between the X0 transition energy and bias voltage is then obtained. Taking into account power broadening of the X0 absorption peak, this allows for high-resolution measurements of the X0 homogeneous linewidth and, hence, the electron tunnelling rate. The electron tunnelling rate is measured as a function of the vertical electric field and described accurately by a theoretical model, yielding information about the electron confinement energy and QD height. We demonstrate that our devices can operate as 2DEG-based QD photovoltaic cells and conclude by proposing two optical spintronic devices that are now feasible.

The process of tergum 7 of this species is somewhat similar to that of N. furcata Zwick and related species from Borneo (Zwick 1986), and the aedeagus is also of the general type seen in that species group. Neoperla tamdao differs from these in having the tergum 7 process more rounded and less deeply notched, and the aedeagal sac has fewer lobes which are also less spiny. Cao et al. (2007) suggest the egg chorion for this species is smooth but among our specimens the entire chorion is covered with fine punctations and on the lid, punctations are enclosed by obscure follicle cell impressions formed by rows of punctations (Figs. 107‐108).

Surface preparation effect on bonding to e.max cad : a fracture mechanics approach
Creators: name: Zaeimdar, Faranak
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Objective: To assess the effect of surface preconditioning on the short and long term interfacial fracture toughness (KIC) of IPS e.max CAD and an adhesive resin luting cement. Material and Methods: The materials selected for this study were from Ivoclar-Vivadent, Liechtenstein: e.max CAD blocks, Multilink implant, Mono Bond Plus, and IPS Ceramic Etching Gel. Eighty (4x4x4x4 mm) triangular prisms were cut from IPS e.max CAD blocks, crystallized and then randomly assigned to two different surface treatment groups: a) machined, using a 60 µm diamond bur (Henry Schein, Germany) and b) machined, as in group a followed by 20 s 5 % HF acid-etching. After surface treatment, all specimens were silane-treated for 60 s and the cement was used to bond two identical specimens of each group, following the manufacturer’s instructions. All 40 specimens were stored in water at 37 °C until testing. After 24 hours storage, 10 specimens from each group were tested to determine interfacial KIC using a universal testing machine (Instron 4311, Instron Canada, Canada); the other 10 specimens were tested after 60 days water storage. SEM fractographic analysis was performed on representative fractured KIC samples from each group to assess the type of failure, i.e. adhesive, cohesive, or mixed. To determine ARC KIC, twenty (4x4x4x8 mm) triangular prisms were prepared using a mould. Half of the specimens were tested after 24 hours storage in water at 37 °C and the other half were tested after 60 days. The KIC results were analyzed using univariate ANOVA followed, if warranted, by Scheffé multiple means comparisons. The statistical analysis was conducted at =0.05, using SPSS (SPSS for Windows, version 12.0; Chicago, IL). Results: The machined/etched group had a significantly higher interfacial KIC at 24 hours. Crack propagation occurred through the adhesive resin and the resin-ceramic interface. Conclusions: The higher KIC was achieved with HF acid etching. Storage in 37 °C water for 60 days led to a deterioration of both cement KIC and cement-mediated interfacial KIC. Clinical significance: IPS e.max CAD/CAM crowns should be etched with HF acid prior to cementation. However, the durability of the bond decreased upon ageing.

description: We present HST/ACS observations of RR Lyrae variable stars in six ultra deep fields of the Andromeda galaxy (M31), including parts of the halo, disk, and giant stellar stream. Past work on the RR Lyrae stars in M31 has focused on various aspects of the stellar populations that make up the galaxy's halo, including their distances and metallicities. This study builds upon this previous work by increasing the spatial coverage (something that has been lacking in previous studies) and by searching for these variable stars in constituents of the galaxy not yet explored. Besides the 55 RR Lyrae stars we found in our initial field located 11kpc from the galactic nucleus, we find additional RR Lyrae stars in four of the remaining five ultra deep fields as follows: 21 in the disk, 24 in the giant stellar stream, 3 in the halo field 21kpc from the galactic nucleus, and 5 in one of the halo fields at 35kpc. No RR Lyrae were found in the second halo field at 35kpc. The RR Lyrae populations of these fields appear to mostly be of Oosterhoff I type, although the 11kpc field appears to be intermediate or mixed. We will discuss the properties of these stars including period and reddening distributions. We calculate metallicities and distances for the stars in each of these fields using different methods and compare the results, to an extent that has not yet been done. We compare these methods not just on RR Lyrae stars in our M31 fields, but also on a data set of Milky Way field RR Lyrae stars.

description: We consider polynomials with integer coefficients and discuss their factorization properties in Z[[x]], the ring of formal power series over Z. We treat polynomials of arbitrary degree and give sufficient conditions for their reducibility as power series. Moreover, if a polynomial is reducible over Z[[x]], we provide an explicit factorization algorithm. For polynomials whose constant term is a prime power, our study leads to the discussion of p-adic integers.

description: The intrinsic property of proteins to form structural motifs such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets leads to a complex phase behavior in which proteins can assemble into various types of aggregates including crystals, liquidlike phases of unfolded or natively folded proteins, and amyloid fibrils. Here we use a coarse-grained protein model that enables us to perform Monte Carlo simulations for determining the phase diagram of natively folded alpha-helical and unfolded beta-sheet forming peptides. The simulations reveal the existence of various metastable peptide phases. The liquidlike phases are metastable with respect to the fibrillar phases, and there is a hierarchy of metastability.

The large size and dark habitus of this species will separate it from most Neoperla. The aedeagus (Figs. 76‐77) and external male genitalia (Fig. 75) are similar to that of N. gingyuanensis Yang & Yang but in that species the ventral aedeagal lobe is not shown to be forked at the base (Yang & Yang 1995a). Details of the sac armature are not shown by Yang & Yang (1995a) thus additional comparisons are not possible. Our material is from Tam Dao, the same location where two of the male paratypes were taken (Cao et al. 2007).

Hanson, ROM 961032 (ROM). Paratype: Vietnam: Vinh Phu, Tam Dao, 800‐900 m, 17‐31 May 1995, A. Gorohov, 1 ♂ (PMSL). Adult habitus. Biocellate. Head mostly dark but Mline, clypeus and tentoria pale. Pronotum brown with darker rugosities (Fig. 19). Wings dark brown, veins darker except pale costal area. Femora pale in basal half and dark brown apically; tibiae dark brown. Male. Forewing length 16 mm. Tergum 7 process a raised plateau armed with scattered sensilla basiconica. Tergum 8 process tongue shaped, erect and curved forward (Fig. 21); anterodorsal margin of process with a small patch of sensilla basiconica. Tergum 9 without sensilla patches. Hemitergal processes short and slender (Fig. 20). Aedeagal tube very slender, relatively straight and heavily sclerotized except for a small subapical nipple shaped lobe (Fig. 22). Aedeagal sac very short, ca. 1/3 tube length; sac without large spines but armed over most of surface with minute spines; base of sac unarmed (Fig. 22). Female. Unknown. Larva. Unknown. Etymology. The species name, used as a noun in apposition, honors the Dao people of Vinh Phu Province. Diagnosis. The aedeagus of this species is generally similar to that of N. yentu but that species has a curved aedeagal tube and the ventral process is bilobed. Yang & Yang (1995 a, 1998) described three species which appear to be members of this complex. Two of these, N. hainanensis and N. quingyuanensis, have bowed aedeagal tubes but the other, N. longwangshana, has the tube and ventral lobe more similar to N. dao. Unfortunately the aedeagal sac was not shown in an everted position in Yang & Yang (1998), and no material is available for our study, so no detailed comparison can be made for these species.

description: In this presentation Gfitter results from the global Standard Model (SM) fit to electroweak precision data are discussed. We have used the latest measurements of m_top and M_W and the most recent results for direct Higgs searches at LEP and Tevatron. We obtain M_H=121^{+17}_{-6} GeV and a 95% CL upper limit of 155 GeV for the SM Higgs mass. The forth-order result for the strong coupling constant is given by alpha_S(M_Z^2)=0.1193 +- 0.0028(exp) +- 0.0001(theo). In addition the electroweak fit has been performed with the top mass determined from the ttbar cross-section as measured at Tevatron.

description: Recently, the duality between Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Multiple Access Channels (MAC) and MIMO Broadcast Channels (BC) has been established under a total power constraint. The same set of rates for MAC can be achieved in BC exploiting the MAC-BC duality formulas while preserving the total power constraint. In this paper, we describe the BC optimal power allo- cation applying this duality in a downstream x-Digital Subscriber Lines (xDSL) context under a total power constraint for all modems over all tones. Then, a new algorithm called BC-Optimal Spectrum Balancing (BC-OSB) is devised for a more realistic power allocation under per-modem total power constraints. The capacity region of the primal BC problem under per-modem total power constraints is found by the dual optimization problem for the BC under per-modem total power constraints which can be rewritten as a dual optimization problem in the MAC by means of a precoder matrix based on the Lagrange multipliers. We show that the duality gap between the two problems is zero. The multi-user power allocation problem has been solved for interference channels and MAC using the OSB algorithm. In this paper we solve the problem of multi-user power allocation for the BC case using the OSB algorithm as well and we derive a computational efficient algorithm that will be referred to as BC-OSB. Simulation results are provided for two VDSL2 scenarios: the first one with Differential-Mode (DM) transmission only and the second one with both DM and Phantom- Mode (PM) transmissions.

When external load is increased quasi-statically - \textit{bursts} (number of failing fibers) of different sizes are produced. The burst statistics shows a robust crossover behavior near the failure point, around which the average burst size seems to diverge. If the load is increased by discrete steps, susceptibility and relaxation time diverge as failure point is approached. When the bundle is overloaded (external load is more than critical load) the rate of breaking shows a minimum at half way to the collapse point. The pattern and statistics of energy emission bursts show characteristic difference for below-critical and over-critical load levels.

description: Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) as a part of “green chemistry” approach using short cycles of design–make–test provide efficient synthetic sequences for lead discovery. Hybrid anticancer agents with ability to control several targets become one of the current researching hotspots. Using Hybridization strategy, quinoline moiety of Tivozanib, a dual EGFR and VEGFR-2 inhibitor, combines with arylureido group in sorafenib, an anti-angiogenic agent, Whereas the linker moiety is 3-benzylamino group. We wish to report a simple, efficient and eco-friendly synthetic pathway for preparation of quinolinyl-diaryl urea via reaction of, 4-chloroquinoine derivatives, various isocyanides and 3-Aminobenzylamine under solvent-free conditions. Generated compounds further will be evaluated for anti-proliferativity activity.
Corrosion protection performance of cathodically protected oil and gas pipeline coatings around the transition temperature

description: Oil and gas pipelines are susceptible to corrosion by reacting with their environments. Water, oxidants, acids, and alkalis can act aggressively on the steel substrate. Over the years, corrosion has been the cause of many catastrophes. Thus, to prevent or slow down corrosion from taking place on steel substrate two techniques are primarily used. These techniques are coatings and cathodic protection. While the principles of cathodic protection is basically to reduce corrosion potential, coatings protect metals by breaking corrosion cells and provide shielding from corrosive agents. However, coatings should exhibit certain characteristics in order to be considered effective it terms of corrosion protection. Coatings have to withstand severe weather including temperature changes. Pipelines often operate at high temperatures due to the heat generated from crude frictions during transfer. With higher demands for crude oil and products, pipelines might be operated at flow rates more than normal and temperatures may exceed transition temperature (Tg) of the coatings. All thermoplastic materials have an important material property resulting from the molecular movement of the side chains of the polymer, Tg. It affects many polymer properties. In literature, it is not quite clear whether Tg affects corrosion protection properties or not. In this work, behavior of two polymer coatings, namely SP8888 and SP2888 provided by Specialty Polymer Coatings Inc., have been studied at temperatures around their Tg using Electrochemical Impedance Microscopy (EIS) in combination with Electrochemical Noise (EN). From the experimental work results, it was found that coating capacitance (Cc) has slightly increased and coating resistance (Rc) has decreased as temperature was increased over the range of test. There was a slope change for both Rc and Cc around Tg. Charge transfer resistance (Rct) has shown an abrupt drop as the temperature approached Tg. Generally, the estimated Tg value from Z modulus was in good compatibility with the Tg measured with other DSC technique.

description: We present deep (V ~ 28.0) BV photometry obtained with the wide field channel of the Advanced Camera for Surveys on board HST for four M31 globular clusters that were identified as candidate intermediate-age (age ~ 1-9 Gyr) by various authors, based on their integrated spectra and/or broad/intermediate-band colors. Two of them (B292 and B350) display an obvious blue horizontal branch, indicating that they are as old as the oldest Galactic globulars. On the other hand, for the other two (B058 and B337), which display red horizontal branches, it was not possible either to confirm or disconfirm the age estimate from integrated spectra. The analysis of the distribution in the spectral indices Mg2 and H_beta of the M31 and Milky Way clusters whose horizontal branch can be classified as red or blue based on existing CMDs, strongly suggests that classical age diagnostics from integrated spectra may be significantly influenced by the HB morphology of the clusters and can lead to erroneous age-classifications. We also provide the CMD for another two clusters that fall into the field of the main targets, B336, an old and metal-poor globular with a significant population of RR-Lyrae variables, and the newly discovered B531, a cluster with a very red red giant branch.

description: Neoperla Vn ‐ B (Figs. 85‐87, 127‐129) Material examined. Vietnam: Dong Nai, Cat Tien National Park, near park headquarters, 120 m, 22 August 1998, 11° 25’ 9” N, 107° 25’ 41.5” E, B. Hubley, D. Currie, ROM 982002, 1 ♀ (ROM). Adult habitus. Biocellate. Head pale with slightly darker area covering central frons from ocelli to near antennal bases (Fig. 85). Pronotum pale brown with darker rugosities. Wing membrane pale veins amber to pale brown. Femora and tibiae pale. Female. Forewing length 13 mm. Subgenital plate a small triangular tab (Fig. 87). Vagina lined with golden brown scales forward of spermathecal base (Fig. 86). Spermathecal stalk long, partially coiled and lined rather completely with fine golden brown scales. Egg. Barrel shaped. Length ca. 0.33 mm, width ca. 0.17 mm, collar width ca. 0. 06‐0.07 mm. Collar sessile and surrounded by 1‐2 rows of large, irregularly shaped, impunctate cells; rim narrow and smooth; base of collar ringed by a distinct, irregular ridge (Figs. 127‐129). Striae wide, ca. 17 visible in lateral aspect; striae separated by narrow punctate sulci. Lid small, covered with fine punctations throughout, follicle cell impressions obscure. Diagnosis. This unassociated member of the clymene complex is distinctive by virtue of the triangular subgenital plate, and the wide chorionic striae of the egg. The latter feature is reminiscent of N. coosa and N. osage from the Nearctic region (Stark & Lentz 1988; Smith & Stark 1998). Males of N. sinuata and N. gordonae were collected with this female but the former species has a distinctive head pattern not shared with this species, and the female of the latter species is known. If this female should at some future time be associated with the male identified as N. gordonae from Cat Tien National Park, that would support the argument, presented above, that N. gordonae represents a species complex.

Changes in the occlusal curves secondary to serial sextractions compared to late premolar extractions and controls
Creators: name: Feldman, Esther
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Objectives: To determine the relationships between tooth tipping and occlusal curvature patterns in serial extraction (SE) cases versus late premolar extraction (LPE) cases and controls. Methods: Mandibular dental casts and cephalometric radiographs were collected from 90 subjects (30 Class I controls, 30 SE cases, 30 LPE cases) at 3 time points: baseline (T0) for controls and SE, after natural drift/pre orthodontics (T1) for controls, SE, and LPE, and after comprehensive orthodontic treatment (T2) for the SE and LPE groups. The casts were scanned and rendered as virtual models. 12 cusp tips (4 incisors and 2 first molars) were digitized and the occlusal curves were measured using Rhinoceros by fitting a sphere to the landmarks (least-squares method). Radiographs were digitized and the long axes of the central incisor, canine, and first molar were landmarked and related to palatal plane to determine the direction and amount of tipping. Results: The SE group differed significantly from the other two groups at T1, with smaller radii in 2/3 outcomes. From T0-T1, the SE group showed a tendency for the incisor and canine to tip distally, while the molar tipped mesially. From T1-T2, the SE group had smaller radii versus LPE and demonstrated mesial tipping of the incisor and canine angulations, with the molar tipping distally. Conclusions: SE cases tend to have steeper occlusal curves (smaller radii), post tooth drift and after orthodontic treatment as compared to the other groups. In general, orthodontic treatment, post SE, involved incisor and canine proclination, as well as molar uprighting. SE is unlikely to save more than 4-6 months of active treatment due to the time needed to correct the increased occlusal curvature that results from this procedure.
Optical Studies of Twenty Longer-Period Cataclysmic Binaries

description: We obtained time-series radial velocity spectroscopy of twenty cataclysmic variable stars, with the aim of determining orbital periods P_orb. All of the stars reported here prove to have P_orb > 3.5 h. For sixteen of the stars, these are the first available period determinations, and for the remaining four (V709 Cas, AF Cam, V1062 Tau, and RX J2133+51) we use new observations to improve the accuracy of previously-published periods. Most of the targets are dwarf novae, without notable idiosyncracies. Of the remainder, three (V709 Cas, V1062 Tau, and RX J2133+51) are intermediate polars (DQ Her stars); one (IPHAS 0345) is a secondary-dominated system without known outbursts, similar to LY UMa; one (V1059 Sgr) is an old nova; and two others (V478 Her and V1082 Sgr) are long-period novalike variables. The stars with new periods are IPHAS 0345 (0.314 d); V344 Ori (0.234 d); VZ Sex (0.149 d); NSVS 1057+09 (0.376 d); V478 Her (0.629 d); V1059 Sgr (0.286 d); V1082 Sgr (0.868 d); FO Aql (0.217 d); V587 Lyr (0.275 d); V792 Cyg (0.297 d); V795 Cyg (0.181 d); V811 Cyg (0.157 d); V542 Cyg (0.182 d); PQ Aql (0.247 d); V516 Cyg (0.171 d); and VZ Aqr(0.161 d). Noteworthy results on individual stars are as follows. We see no indication of the underlying white dwarf star in V709 Cas, as has been previously claimed; based on the non-detection of the secondary star, we argue that the system is farther away that had been thought and the white dwarf contribution is probably negligible. V478 Her had been classified as an SU UMa-type dwarf nova, but this is incompatible with the long orbital period we find. We report the first secondary-star velocity curve for V1062 Tau. In V542 Cyg, we find a late-type contribution that remains stationary in radial velocity, yet the system is unresolved in a direct image, suggesting that it is a hierarchical triple system.

description: We consider renormalization group flow applied to the cosmological dynamical equations. A consistency condition arising from energy-momentum conservation links the flow parameters to the cosmological evolution, restricting possible behaviors. Three classes of cosmological fixed points for dark energy plus a barotropic fluid are found: a dark energy dominated universe, which can be either accelerating or decelerating depending on the RG flow parameters, a barotropic dominated universe where dark energy fades away, and solutions where the gravitational and potential couplings cease to flow. If the IR fixed point coincides with the asymptotically safe UV fixed point then the dark energy pressure vanishes in the first class, while (only) in the de Sitter limit of the third class the RG cutoff scale becomes the Hubble scale.

description: The hole spectral function of the t-J model on a two-dimensional semi-infinite lattice is calculated using the spin-wave and noncrossing approximations. In the case of small hole concentration and strong correlations, $t\gg J$, several near-boundary site rows appear to be depleted of holes. The reason for this depletion is a deformation of the magnon cloud, which surrounds the hole, near the boundary. The hole depletion in the boundary region leads to a more complicated spectral function in the boundary row in comparison with its bulk shape.

description: We discuss the classification of symmetries and the corresponding symmetry groups in the two-Higgs-doublet model (THDM). We give an easily useable method how to determine the symmetry class and corresponding symmetry group of a given THDM Higgs potential. One of the symmetry classes corresponds to a Higgs potential with several simultaneous generalised CP symmetries. Extending the CP symmetry of this class to the Yukawa sector in a straightforward way, the so-called maximally-CP-symmetric model (MCPM) is obtained. We study the evolution of the quartic Higgs-potential parameters under a change of renormalisation point. Finally we compute the so called oblique parameters S, T, and U, in the MCPM and we identify large regions of viable parameter space with respect to electroweak precision measurements. We present the corresponding allowed regions for the masses of the physical Higgs bosons. Reasonable ranges for these masses, up to several hundred GeV, are obtained which should make the (extra) Higgs bosons detectable in LHC experiments.
