description: As India is beginning to feel the crunch of dwindling conventional energy sources, it is just only beginning to explore alternative sources. It is also poised to manage existing energy sources judiciously. As India’s economy continues to grow, the demand for energy increases exponentially, leaving exorbitant prices for commodities in its wake. Infrastructure and development has come of age in India in the past 10 years and the effect is visible in the form of townships, malls, multi-storied apartments. However, a less visible but nonetheless a more negative impact is felt by the surrounding environment and its individual entities. Energy conservation in buildings is an issue that needs to be addressed now. This has been addressed in western countries that have a different climate. The ECBC (India), TERI Griha, and the NBC (India) have indeed provided guidelines on how green buildings should be rated in India.  Ideally, buildings should be both energy efficient and kind to the environment – this implies a minimal contribution to GHG. Energy calculations should therefore be presented in terms of CO2 emissions. Production of cement which is used in RCC contributes significantly to the atmospheric CO2 loading. These issues are being addressed by green architects, town planners, and other bodies at the decision-making level and green buildings are now being built all over the country. However, the only place where a holistic approach towards green architecture, sustainability, alternative energy utilization, environmental ethos comes together is the Auroville international township. Auroville is a model township experimenting with a new world-order – new architectural designs are being tried out, building forms and fabrics are currently being tested for their environmental friendliness. The ‘green’ combination of building orientation that facilitates infiltration, ventilation and natural lighting has found its mark in this township.   A precursor to green architecture is a kind micro-climate – Auroville’s greening and rain water harvesting methods serve as a bench mark model in this regard. This report is being written as part of a taught course on energy efficient buildings (M. Tech in Construction Technology and Management). The report in a sense is a coming-together of time tested building practices with alternative practices adopted in Auroville.

description: We propose the Optomechanical Dark-matter INstrument (ODIN), based on a new method for the direct detection of low-mass dark matter. We consider dark matter interacting with superfluid helium in an optomechanical cavity. Using an effective field theory, we calculate the rate at which dark matter scatters off phonons in a highly populated, driven acoustic mode of the cavity. This scattering process deposits a phonon into a second acoustic mode in its ground state. The deposited phonon ($μ$eV range) is then converted to a photon (eV range) via an optomechanical interaction with a pump laser. This photon can be efficiently detected, providing a means to sensitively probe keV scale dark matter. We provide realistic estimates of the backgrounds and discuss the technical challenges associated with such an experiment. We calculate projected limits on dark matter-nucleon interactions for dark matter masses ranging from 0.5 to 300 keV and estimate that a future device could probe cross-sections as low as $\mathcal{O}(10^{-32})$ cm$^2$.

Widely Linear vs. Conventional Subspace-Based Estimation of SIMO Flat-Fading Channels: Mean-Squared Error Analysis

description: We analyze the mean-squared error (MSE) performance of widely linear (WL) and conventional subspace-based channel estimation for single-input multiple-output (SIMO) flat-fading channels employing binary phase-shift-keying (BPSK) modulation when the covariance matrix is estimated using a finite number of samples. The conventional estimator suffers from a phase ambiguity that reduces to a sign ambiguity for the WL estimator. We derive closed-form expressions for the MSE of the two estimators under four different ambiguity resolution scenarios. The first scenario is optimal resolution, which minimizes the Euclidean distance between the channel estimate and the actual channel. The second scenario assumes that a randomly chosen coefficient of the actual channel is known and the third assumes that the one with the largest magnitude is known. The fourth scenario is the more realistic case where pilot symbols are used to resolve the ambiguities. Our work demonstrates that there is a strong relationship between the accuracy of ambiguity resolution and the relative performance of WL and conventional subspace-based estimators, and shows that the less information available about the actual channel for ambiguity resolution, or the lower the accuracy of this information, the higher the performance gap in favor of the WL estimator.

description: We develop a theory to compute and interpret the photonic band structure of a periodic array of metallic helices for the first time. Interesting features of band structure include the ingenuous longitudinal and circularly polarized eigenmodes, the wide polarization gap [Science 325, 1513 (2009)], and the helical symmetry guarantees the existence of negative group velocity bands at both sides of the polarization gap and band crossings pinned at the zone boundary with fixed frequencies. A direct proof of negative refraction via a chiral route [Science 306, 1353 (2004)] is achieved for the first time by measuring Gooshanchen shift through a slab of three dimensional bona fide helix metamaterial.
Dancing sovereignty : protocol and politics in northwest coast First Nations dance
Creators: name: Dangeli, Mique'l
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Scholars in anthropology, art history, and related disciplines are critiquing the ways in which the classification Northwest Coast art excludes an array of Indigenous visual and performing arts and how its rigid parameters continue to be constructed and reified by academic, national, and popular discourses. The practices of Northwest Coast First Nation dance artists—such as dance group performances, song-composition, choreography, and collaborations— are among those that continue to be marginalized. The objective of this thesis is to bring critical attention to the work of these artists through an in-depth study of how they assert, negotiate, and enact protocol through their artistic processes and performances and the ways in which their work engages with local, provincial, and national politics. Protocol is an umbrella term used by Northwest Coast First Nations people to refer to the laws of their Nations. Its fundamental connection to dance is that protocol governs not only the right to perform songs and dances, but also the way performances occur in both private and public contexts. Whereas protocol is typically deemed as the inflexibility of Northwest Coast First Nation dance, I have observed over the course of this study that dance artists deploy protocol in dynamic ways to address diverse performative, social, and political demands. I argue that protocol constitutes much more than the boundaries of their practice. It is the creative lens through which dance artists, and their dance groups, enact dancing sovereignty. Building on the literature on visual sovereignty in Indigenous visual art practices and filmmaking (Dowell, 2013; Raheja, 2010; Rickard, 2011, 1995), I define dancing sovereignty as self-determination carried out through the creation of performances (oratory, songs, and dances) that adhere to and expand upon protocol in ways that affirm hereditary privileges (ancestral histories and associated ownership of songs, dances, crests, masks, headdresses, etc.) and territorial rights to land and waterways among diverse audiences and collaborators. Bringing together Gerald Vizenor’s transmotion (1998; 2008) with Erin Manning’s relationscapes (2009), I demonstrate that practices of dancing sovereignty generate politically charged relationscapes among Northwest Coast First Nations dance artists, their territories, other First Nations, and non-Indigenous collaborators.

description: We investigate the influence of the boundary conditions of minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) on the supersymmetric mechanism for lepton flavour violation (LFV) proposed recently [1], within the framework of the MSSM extended by TeV-scale singlet heavy neutrinos. We find that the consideration of the mSUGRA boundary condition may increase the branching ratios of the muon and tauon decaying into three charged leptons by up to a factor of 5, whereas the corresponding branching ratio for their photonic decays remains almost unchanged.

Quantum soft-covering lemma with applications to rate-distortion coding, resolvability and identification via quantum channels

description: We propose a quantum soft-covering problem for a given general quantum channel and one of its output states, which consists in finding the minimum rank of an input state needed to approximate the given channel output. We then prove a one-shot quantum covering lemma in terms of smooth min-entropies by leveraging decoupling techniques from quantum Shannon theory. This covering result is shown to be equivalent to a coding theorem for rate distortion under a posterior (reverse) channel distortion criterion by two of the present authors. Both one-shot results directly yield corollaries about the i.i.d. asymptotics, in terms of the coherent information of the channel.
 The power of our quantum covering lemma is demonstrated by two additional applications: first, we formulate a quantum channel resolvability problem, and provide one-shot as well as asymptotic upper and lower bounds. Secondly, we provide new upper bounds on the unrestricted and simultaneous identification capacities of quantum channels, in particular separating for the first time the simultaneous identification capacity from the unrestricted one, proving a long-standing conjecture of the last author.

description: We perform numerical simulations to study self-assembly of nanoparticles mediated by an elastic planar surface. We show how the nontrivial elastic response to deformations of these surfaces leads to anisotropic interactions between the particles resulting in aggregates having different geometrical features. The morphology of the patterns can be controlled by the mechanical properties of the surface and the strength of the particle adhesion. We use simple scaling arguments to understand the formation of the different structures, and we show how the adhering particles can cause the underlying elastic substrate to wrinkle if two of its opposite edges are clamped. Finally, we discuss the implications of our results and suggest how elastic surfaces could be used in nanofabrication.

description: We obtain systematic approximations for the modes of vibration of a string of variable density, which is held fixed at its ends. These approximations are obtained iteratively applying three theorems which are proved in the paper and which hold regardless of the inhomogeneity of the string. Working on specific examples we obtain very accurate approximations which are compared both with the results of WKB method and with the numerical results obtained with a collocation approach. Finally, we show that the asymptotic behaviour of the energies of the string obtained with perturbation theory, worked to second order in the inhomogeinities, agrees with that obtained with the WKB method and implies a different functional dependence on the density that in two and higher dimensions.

title: Exploiting immunological metaphors in the development of serial, parallel and distributed learning algorithms
Creators: name: Watkins, Andrew B.
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: This thesis examines the use of immunological metaphors in building serial, parallel, and distributed learning algorithms. It offers a basic study in the development of biologically-inspired algorithms which merge inspiration from biology with known, standard computing technology to examine robust methods of computing. This thesis begins by detailing key interactions found within the immune system that provide inspiration for the development of a learning system. It then exploits the use of more processing power for the development of faster algorithms. This leads to the exploration of distributed computing resources for the examination of more biologically plausible systems. This thesis offers the following main contributions. The components of the immune system that exhibit the capacity for learning are detailed. A framework for discussing learning algorithms is proposed. Three properties of every learning algorithm-memory, adaptation, and decision-making-are identified for this framework, and traditional learning algorithms are placed in the context of this framework. An investigation into the use of immunological components for learning is provided. This leads to an understanding of these components in terms of the learning framework. A simplification of the Artificial Immune Recognition System (AIRS) immune-inspired learning algorithm is provided by employing affinity-dependent somatic hypermutation. A parallel version of the Clonal Selection Algorithm (CLONALG) immune learning algorithm is developed. It is shown that basic parallel computing techniques can provide computational benefits for this algorithm. Exploring this technology further, a parallel version of AIRS is offered. It is shown that applying these same parallel computing techniques to AIRS, while less scalable than when applied to CLONALG, still provides computational gains. A distributed approach to AIRS is offered, and it is argued that this approach provides a more biologically appealing model. The simple distributed approach is proposed in terms of an initial step toward a more complex, distributed system. Biological immune systems exhibit complex cellular interactions. The mechanisms of these interactions, while often poorly understood, hint at an extremely powerful information processing/problem solving system. This thesis demonstrates how the use of immunological principles coupled with standard computing technology can lead to the development of robust, biologically inspired learning algorithms.

description: We employ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to investigate the electronic structures of two rotational variants of epitaxial, single-layer graphene on Ir(111). As grown, the more-abundant R0 variant is nearly charge-neutral, with strong hybridization between graphene and Ir bands near the Fermi level. The graphene Fermi surface and its replicas exactly coincide with Van Hove singularities in the Ir Fermi surface. Sublattice symmetry breaking introduces a small gap-inducing potential at the Dirac crossing, which is revealed by n-doping the graphene using K atoms. The energy gaps between main and replica bands (originating from the moiré interference pattern between graphene and Ir lattices) is shown to be non-uniform along the mini- zone boundary due to hybridization with Ir bands. An electronically mediated interaction is proposed to account for the stability of the R0 variant. The variant rotated 30° in-plane, R30, is p-doped as grown and K doping reveals no band gap at the Dirac crossing. No replica bands are found in ARPES measurements. Raman spectra from the R30 variant exhibit the characteristic phonon modes of graphene, while R0 spectra are featureless. These results show that the film/substrate interaction changes from chemisorption (R0) to physisorption (R30) with in-plane orientation. Finally, graphene-covered Ir has a work function lower than the clean substrate but higher than graphite.

description: We present a family of conditional dual auto-encoders (CoDAEs) for generic and model-independent new physics searches at colliders. New physics signals, which arise from new types of particles and interactions, are considered in our study as anomalies causing deviations in data with respect to expected background events. In this work, we perform a normal-only anomaly detection, which employs only background samples, to search for manifestations of a dark version of strong force applying (variational) auto-encoders on raw detector images, which are large and highly sparse, without leveraging any physics-based pre-processing or strong assumption on the signals. The proposed CoDAE has a dual-encoder design, which is general and can learn an auxiliary yet compact latent space through spatial conditioning, showing a neat improvement over competitive physics-based baselines and related approaches, therefore also reducing the gap with fully supervised models. It is the first time an unsupervised model is shown to exhibit excellent discrimination against multiple dark shower models, illustrating the suitability of this method as an accurate, fast, model-independent algorithm to deploy, e.g., in the real-time event triggering systems of Large Hadron Collider experiments such as ATLAS and CMS.

description: Disziplinprobleme stellen ein zentrales Problem jeglicher Art von Unterricht dar. Kounin (1970) entwickelte als einer der Ersten einen Klassenmanagementansatz zur Vermeidung solcher Probleme. Bis heute liegt aber kein eng an Kounins Arbeiten angelehntes und wissenschaftliche Gütekriterien erfüllendes, niedrig-inferentes Beobachtungsinstrument vor, obwohl es insbesondere für die Lehrer*innenausbildung, aber auch für die Forschung in diesem Bereich immer wieder eingefordert wurde. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden erste Schritte zur Entwicklung eines derartigen Beobachtungsinstruments vorgelegt: Nach einer kurzen Problemeinführung (1.) werden die zentralen Elemente von Kounins induktiv gewonnenem Klassenmanagementkonzept herausgearbeitet (2.): Dabeisein, Überlappung, Reibungslosigkeit, Schwung und Gruppenfokus. Daran schließt sich ein kurzer Überblick über die vorliegenden Wirksamkeitsevidenzen für Kounins Ansatz an (3.). In Abschnitt (4.) wird sodann auf die Möglichkeit, Kounins induktiv gewonnene Klassenmanagementelemente theoretisch abzustützen, eingegangen und darauf aufbauend ein erstes hypothetisches Wirkmodell vorgelegt. Schließlich werden zwei Teilbeobachtungsbögen für die Kategorien Dabeisein und Überlappung detailliert dargestellt (5.); abschließende Bemerkungen (6.) runden die Arbeit ab.
description: Discipline problems are of great importance for efficient teaching. Kounin (1970) was one of the first to develop a classroom management approach in order to prevent such problems. But even to date and despite of several calls for its development from teacher trainers and researchers in the domain of class management, there exists no low-inference observation tool which meets scientific criteria and at the same time is tightly knit to Kounins work. In this paper first steps towards the development of such an observation tool are taken. After a short introduction (1.) the central elements of Kounins inductively developed class management approach are elaborated (2.): withitness, overlapping, momentum, smoothness, and group focus. In the next chapter an overview concerning the evidence in favor of Kounins approach is sketched (3.). Chapter (4.) focuses on the question how Kounins inductively gained class management approach can be theoretically underpinned; a first hypothetical efficiency model based on these theoretical considerations is presented. Finally two sub categories (withitness and overlapping) of the overall Kounian observation tool are presented in detail (5.), followed by some final comments (6.).
Foucault's ethics in education
Creators: name: Moghtader, Bruce
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Ethical questions are often posed to explore the relationship between and the responsibilities of actors to each other by adopting criteria. Ethical criteria engender assumptions about the actors by focusing on their responsibilities. Instead of relying on criteria, Michel Foucault’s writing and lectures contributed to an awareness of the activities we take upon ourselves as ethical subjects. Foucault’s ethics seeks to examine the possibilities of the constitution of the subject and the transformation of subjectivity. The topic of this conceptual research is the contribution of “care of the self” and parrhesia to ethics in education. Foucault offers an avenue of understanding the formation of ethical subjects in their educational interrelationships.

description: As part of the SIENNA consortium proposals (WP5), the deliverable proposes an international code of conduct for data sharing in genomics. It builds on results of D 2.3: Survey of REC approaches and codes for genomics, D2.4: Ethical analysis of human genetics and genomics and D5.6: Recommendations for the enhancement of the existing legal frameworks for genomics, human enhancement, and AI and robotics. To draft the proposed code of conduct, we adopted a mix of methods involving a literature review, synthesis of pertinent existing codes of conduct, a workshop of an expert panel and soliciting feedback from SIENNA stakeholders. The deliverable addresses specific concerns and gaps as identified via literature namely; identifiability, broad consent, portability accessibility and return of results, compelled disclosure and lastly withdrawal of consent. Furthermore, we propose mitigation measures as recommended by experts and stakeholders and through synthesis of relevant past codes. The results have been discussed in the light of GDPR which is the most relevant legal framework within the EU.

Organisational behaviour

description: Prior research assumes that employees have positive attitudes toward corporate social responsibility (CSR) and are affected positively by their organization’s CSR practices. However, given the sometimes controversial and paradoxical nature of CSR, assuming purely positive attitudes may be overly simplistic. To challenge this assumption, I examine CSR attitudes to illuminate various views employees may hold toward CSR. To do so, I first develop measures of CSR Attitudes that includes four subscales to assess the extent to which employees hold positive, negative, ambivalent, or indifferent attitudes toward CSR. Next, drawing on social information processing theory, I examine subjective (ethical climate perceptions and CSR attributions) and objective (CSR messages) social information antecedents to employee CSR attitudes. Further, I examine behavioral (physical withdrawal, in-role and extra-role CSR performance, and helping behaviors) and cognitive (psychological withdrawal, volunteering intent, and perspective taking) responses to CSR attitudes. I also consider two relevant individual differences that affect these pathways. To test my hypotheses, I conducted an experimental vignette study to test the relationship between subjective and objective social information antecedents and the full range of CSR attitudes. Additionally, I conducted a field study to test the full model presented in this dissertation. Results demonstrate mixed support for hypotheses. However, strong support was found for the positive effect of values-driven CSR attributions on employee positive CSR attitudes. Further, positive CSR attitudes were found to relate to the prosocial behaviors of extra-role CSR behaviors and volunteering intent. Lastly, CSR ambivalence related to both positive and negative employee outcomes, demonstrating that CSR ambivalence may be more complicated than extant ambivalence research would suggest.
Phosphorus dynamics under different nutrient management regimes in the Sumas Prairie, British Columbia, Canada
Creators: name: Oka, Gladys Azaria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Phosphorus (P) is essential to life. Depletion of phosphate rock may occur within 50-400 years, yet P application to soils continues and has resulted in over-application of manure and fertilizer contributing to contamination of water systems. The Sumas Prairie in British Columbia demonstrates the convergence of P deficiency and excess in alluvial soils with high organic matter (SOM) content and serpentinitic contributions. The objective of this study was to evaluate how nutrient management at four sites (i.e. dairy farm, turf farm, mixed manure and fertilizer, and uncultivated) influence P compounds, their solubility, and (de)sorption reactions occurring in surface soils and adjacent ditch sediments. Samples were collected at 0-20 cm, 20-50 cm, 50+ cm depths in soil at each site, and in ditch sediments. P was vertically mobile from the surface to 20-50 cm depth in soil, and accumulation in ditch sediments was evident. P concentrations declined in the following order: mixed > dairy ~ uncultivated > turf. P fractionation indicated the following relative composition of total P (Aqua regia): 55-80% stable (acid ammonium oxalate), 12-46% labile (HCl), 2-5% Bray, 2-7% Mehlich, and 10-50% organic P (NaOH-EDTA). Mineral P sources were attributed to apatite, P adsorped on amorphous aluminum oxide as a stable source of P, and calcium phosphate precipitate as a labile source of P. ³¹P NMR analysis of organic extracts indicated that Pi,(orthophosphate and pyrophosphate fractions) accounted for 69-100% of extracted P, and Po (predominantly phosphate monoesters) accounted for 0-31%. SOM was the most important factor determining P concentrations and sorption sites for the retention of P. Clay content and SOM were positively associated with increased degrees of P saturation. P content in soils and ditch sediments were below maximum adsorption. Processes of adsorption and desorption in these soils are influenced by competition of Po and Pi forms particularly in the dairy, mixed, and uncultivated sites where SOM content is high. There is potential for P loss and subsequent environmental contamination from topsoil and ditch sediments at the mixed site according to DPSox, and from topsoil and ditch sediments at all sites according to M3-PSR I and M3-PSR II.

Continuous variable entanglement measurement without phase locking

description: A new simple entanglement measurement method is proposed for the bright EPR beams generated from a non-degenerate optical parametric amplifier operating at deamplification. Due to the output signal and idler modes are frequency degenerate and in phase, the needed phase shift of interference for the measurement of the correlated phase quadratures and anti-correlated amplitude quadratures can be accomplished by a quarter-wave plate and a half wave plate without separating the signal and idler beam. Therefore, phase locking and local oscillators are avoided.

description: We apply quadratic $f(R)=R+εR^2$ field equations, where $ε$ has a dimension [L$^2$], to static spherical stellar model. We assume the interior configuration is determined by Krori-Barua ansatz and additionally the fluid is anisotropic. Using the astrophysical measurements of the pulsar PSR J0740+6620 as inferred by NICER and XMM observations, we determine $ε\approx \pm 3$ km$^2$. We show that the model can provide a stable configuration of the pulsar PSR J0740+6620 in both geometrical and physical sectors. We show that the Krori-Barua ansatz within $f(R)$ quadratic gravity provides semi-analytical relations between radial, $p_r$, and tangential, $p_t$, pressures and density $ρ$ which can be expressed as $p_r\approx v_r^2 (ρ-ρ_1)$ and $p_r\approx v_t^2 (ρ-ρ_2)$, where $v_r$ ($v_t$) is the sound speed in radial (tangential) direction, $ρ_1=ρ_s$ (surface density) and $ρ_2$ are completely determined in terms of the model parameters. These relations are in agreement with the best-fit equations of state as obtained in the present study. We further put the upper limit on the compactness, which satisfies the $f(R)$ modified Buchdahl limit. Interestingly, the quadratic $f(R)$ gravity with negative $ε$ naturally restricts the maximum compactness to values lower than Buchdahl limit, unlike the GR or $f(R)$ gravity with positive $ε$ where the compactness can arbitrarily approach the black hole limit $C\to 1$. The model predicts a core density a few times the saturation nuclear density $ρ_{\text{nuc}} = 2.7\times 10^{14}$ g/cm$^3$, and a surface density $ρ_s > ρ_{\text{nuc}}$. We provide the mass-radius diagram corresponding to the obtained boundary density which has been shown to be in agreement with other observations.

description: This paper aims to study the Betti homology and de Rham cohomology of twisted symmetric powers of the Kloosterman connection of rank two on the torus. We compute the period pairing and, with respect to certain bases, interpret these associated period numbers in terms of the Bessel moments. Via the rational structures on Betti homology and de Rham cohomology, we prove the $\mathbb{Q}$-linear and quadratic relations among these Bessel moments.

description: Shor's factoring algorithm, believed to provide an exponential speedup over classical computation, relies on finding the period of an exactly periodic quantum modular multiplication operator. This exact periodicity is the hallmark of an integrable system, which is paradoxical from the viewpoint of quantum chaos, given that the classical limit of the modular multiplication operator is a highly chaotic system that occupies the "maximally random" Bernoulli level of the classical ergodic hierarchy. In this work, we approach this apparent paradox from a quantum dynamical systems viewpoint, and consider whether signatures of ergodicity and chaos may indeed be encoded in such an "integrable" quantization of a chaotic system. We show that Shor's modular multiplication operator, in specific cases, can be written as a superposition of quantized A-baker's maps exhibiting more typical signatures of quantum chaos and ergodicity. This work suggests that the integrability of Shor's modular multiplication operator may stem from the interference of other "chaotic" quantizations of the same family of maps, and paves the way for deeper studies on the interplay of integrability, ergodicity and chaos in and via quantum algorithms.

Multifractal analysis of the divergence of Fourier series

description: A famous theorem of Carleson says that, given any function $f\in L^p(\TT)$, $p\in(1,+\infty)$, its Fourier series $(S_nf(x))$ converges for almost every $x\in \mathbb T$. Beside this property, the series may diverge at some point, without exceeding $O(n^{1/p})$. We define the divergence index at $x$ as the infimum of the positive real numbers $β$ such that $S_nf(x)=O(n^β)$ and we are interested in the size of the exceptional sets $E_β$, namely the sets of $x\in\mathbb T$ with divergence index equal to $β$. We show that quasi-all functions in $L^p(\TT)$ have a multifractal behavior with respect to this definition. Precisely, for quasi-all functions in $L^p(\mathbb T)$, for all $β\in[0,1/p]$, $E_β$ has Hausdorff dimension equal to $1-βp$. We also investigate the same problem in $\mathcal C(\mathbb T)$, replacing polynomial divergence by logarithmic divergence. In this context, the results that we get on the size of the exceptional sets are rather surprizing.

description: Considering the long history of privately financed capital projects in Latin America, this research paper examines the theory that the US municipal finance structure may serve as a prudent legal, regulatory model for emerging markets in Latin America. As such, the development of a sub-national debt finance apparatus is critical for the liberalization of financial markets in Brazil. Mired by institutional corruption and public distrust, this paper offers a comparative examination of the capital infrastructure development of Formula 1 racetrack in Deodoro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX: a case study which examines alternative banking solutions, transparency through regulatory reforms, and the viability of subnational capital markets for improving social inclusion in Brazil. By developing a municipal bond market in Brazil, state and local governments would in effect be better equipped to gain access to efficient capital markets for the public provisioning of capital infrastructure projects through taxable, tax-exempt bond issuances, or other non-traditional public financing mechanisms
